Olivia Rodrigo tries to make her ex jealous in this SNL sketch

Olivia Rodrigo tries to make her ex jealous in this SNL sketch

Published by Miika Tikkanen

Everyone has at least one bad breakup they’d rather forget. For Olivia Rodrigo’s character Saturday night, that breakup was very much front and center. The sketch finds Rodrigo at a party, freshly face-to-face with an ex she’s determined to make jealous. Her solution is to recruit the perfectly nice, completely game guy standing next to her, played by Tommy Brennan. A solid plan, all things considered. SEE ALSO: Olivia Rodrigo shows off her lava cake in SNL’s ShopTV sketch Her ex, played by Ben Marshall, has the exact same idea. Unfortunately, the woman he recruited for his scheme is being played by Ashley Padilla. So, while Rodrigo and her easygoing pretend date have a genuinely lovely time, the ex’s night devolves into something approaching a minor psychological crisis. Padilla has a particular gift for playing characters who exist just slightly outside the bounds of normal human behavior, and this sketch is a showcase for exactly that. A great time all around.

Olivia Rodrigo shows off her lava cake in SNL’s ShopTV sketch

Another day, another pop star doing a Shop TV sketch on Saturday Night Live. Much like fellow pop girly Sabrina Carpenter before her, this weekend’s host Olivia Rodrigo pulled double duty as both host and musical guest. And also like Carpenter, the Guts singer found herself behind the counter of Shop TV — the show’s recurring QVC-style segment featuring hosts Rhett and Bev, played by Mikey Day and Ashley Padilla, hawking products that have absolutely no business existing. SEE ALSO: ‘SNL’ opens with another Pete Hegseth press conference This week’s offering comes from Daisy, played by Rodrigo, who’s selling lava cakes innocently shaped like buttholes. There are several lines of dialogue in this sketch that, personally, did not need to exist and cannot be unheard. The bit is a great time, genuinely — but as Rhett and Bev themselves might say, the less time spent discussing the specifics, the better. So, consider this your warning and your recommendation simultaneously. Source link

Olivia Ostrow Says She Only Watched One Episode of ’24 in 24: Last Chef Standing’ Before Competing on Season 3

Olivia Ostrow Says She Only Watched One Episode of ’24 in 24: Last Chef Standing’ Before Competing on Season 3

Published by Daniella Wilson

The 24-hour clock never stops, and Olivia Ostrow wouldn’t have it any other way. The Miami, Florida–based chef is gearing up for the Season 3 premiere of 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing, but her prep for the high-stakes competition was surprisingly minimal. “I watched one episode. That felt like the correct amount of research,” she tells ET. “After that I was like, ‘Okay, people are exhausted and making questionable decisions. Perfect. I’m ready.’ … I’m French. We look and then we do our own thing anyway.” Her approach in the kitchen is just as instinctive. “I’m very in the moment. Cooking for me is almost like music,” she says. “Sometimes I feel like jazz and very improvisational, sometimes it’s classical and precise, and other times it’s a full boy band moment.” Rather than letting the cameras intimidate her, Ostrow leaned into the structure of the television show, which pits 24 chefs against one another over a nonstop 24-hour stretch with eight shifts, 24 challenges, and a $100,000 prize. “I love the chaos, the pace, and …

Olivia Rodrigo surprised fans with the debut live performance of her new single, “Drop Dead”, when she joined fellow pop star Addison Rae at Coachella on Saturday. Rae, 25, was playing to a huge audience at the music festival when she began a rendition of her 2025 single, “Headphones On”. As the Grammy nominee sang the lyrics, “I compare myself to the new IT girl,” she looked over to another part of the stage to reveal Rodrigo. The 23-year-old then joined Rae to finish “Headphones On” before the duo performed “Drop Dead”, which was released on Friday (17 April). “Oh my god, I might drop dead,” Rae exclaimed, hugging Rodrigo. “Drop Dead” is the lead single from the US pop star’s upcoming third solo album, You seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, which she announced earlier this month. Olivia Rodrigo joined Addison Rae at Coachella 2026 (Coachella/YouTube) She shared the news to Instagram with a shot of the album artwork, depicting Rodrigo swinging upside down in a pink dress. “My third album… …

Olivia Munn Calls Out Male Co-Star Who Derailed Filming

Olivia Munn Calls Out Male Co-Star Who Derailed Filming

Published by Sam Flores

Olivia Munn is opening up about her experience with a male actor who felt uncomfortable with a film’s seemingly feminist slant. Appearing on The Drew Barrymore Show this week, the X-Men: Apocalypse actor said she’d pledged long ago to focus on film and TV projects featuring female characters who weren’t reliant on their male counterparts. One such project, Munn said, required her to appear alongside a male co-star who objected to a scene in which his character’s life would be spared, thanks to Munn’s character’s aid. “If you read the script, it was that he was guarding his side, I was guarding my side, then we switch sides and then there’s a guy that was coming for him — he was gonna shoot him in the back — so I shoot him,” she recalled. “And then we’re about to shoot, and somehow, I guess he didn’t read the script, and in that moment, he realised, ‘Wait, wait, wait. Hold on. She can’t save me. No, no. She can’t save me.’” Watch Munn’s Drew Barrymore Show …

Olivia Ferney’s Travel With Livii Being Adapted as a Scripted Series

Published by Daniella Wilson

If the stakes in Olivia Ferney‘s social media videos aren’t high enough for you, Fifth Season is set to dramatize the ultra-luxury travel concierge’s fancy — and stressful — life, The Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively. And it’s not just some dumb reality TV show we’re talking about. Fifth Season will develop a scripted series based on five-star travel business Top Tier Travel, led by Ferney, its chief marketing officer, and founder Troy Arnold. Ferney has about 1.5 million followers across Instagram and TikTok; the travelwithlivii channels take us normies behind the scenes of Ferney’s work as “a concierge for billionaire clients.” They’re demanding, she’s chill; Fifth Season will produce the series alongside Brad Weston’s Makeready. “Olivia and Troy have welcomed viewers into a world that is almost always off limits, shining a light on the tantalizing, dramatic, and often hilarious lives and requests of the ultra-rich,” said Noah Greenshner, Fifth Season executive vice president and head of TV creative. “Olivia’s massive and booming following is a testament to how magnetic this content is and …

Edward Norton, Olivia Wilde Speak Out Against ICE at Sundance

Published by Daniella Wilson

As protests continue in Minneapolis after a Border Patrol agent shot and killed anti-ICE protester Alex Pretti, attendees of the Sundance Film Festival are speaking out against the lethal actions of law enforcement and the continued attacks on protesters. Talent, including Olivia Wilde, Zoey Deutch and Natalie Portman, have been wearing “ICE Out” pins to festival premieres and events. “We’re all here getting to celebrate something really beautiful and hopeful in film storytelling. But the world is hurting right now, and this country is hurting. And it’s appalling,” Wilde said on the carpet to Variety before the Friday night premiere of her film The Invite. Edward Norton, who is in Park City for Wilde’s dinner party-set movie, was at The Hollywood Reporter’s studio discussing the subject of small talk with his co-stars Wilde and Seth Rogen. “These days it’s: ’What are we gonna do about mass Gestapo shooting American citizens?,’ Norton said, acknowledging the difficulty of light conversation in light of current events. “We are sitting here talking about movies while an illegal army is …

Olivia Colman & Alexander Skarsgard in Quirky Romance

Published by Daniella Wilson

A strange person comes to (an also strange) town and teaches the set-in-their-ways locals how to live and love in the new fairytale film Chocolat. Well, no, it’s called Wicker, but Eleanor Wilson and Alex Huston Fischer’s film does bear a faint resemblance to that Lasse Hallström confection of a past movie era, as it does to plenty of other films about a fish-out-of-water charmingly affecting their adopted community. Which isn’t to ding Wicker; while there is plenty of originality to be found in this spritely fable, it’s also nice to see something old-fashioned at a festival so commonly associated with envelope-pushing modernity.  That said, Wicker might have been something of a scandal back in the days of Chocolat, what with its frequent, bawdy talk of sex, of body parts and fluids and fetishes. The film, based on the short story “The Wicker Husband” by Ursula Wills, is decidedly for grown-ups, despite its fanciful whimsy, a cuteness that risks becoming cloying but never quite does. The mundane disappointments and insecurities of adult life are chief …

Olivia Wilde, Cooper Hoffman Get Dangerously Kinky

Olivia Wilde, Cooper Hoffman Get Dangerously Kinky

Published by Daniella Wilson

When Olivia Wilde first read the script for I Want Your Sex, co-written by Karley Sciortino, she had exactly the reaction that any fan of the provocative filmmaker Gregg Araki would hope for: “[I] laughed so hard, just cackling away on my couch, sending them both voice notes about how much I fucking loved it,” the 41-year-old star says, “and said, ‘Yes of course I need to play this insane character, as long as we find the best actor of all time to play Elliot.’”  This would be Araki’s first film in over a decade. Wilde would play Erika Tracy, a boundary-pushing artist in contemporary Los Angeles. She would need to act opposite a fearless younger actor portraying Elliot, Erika’s new intern — oh, and sadomasochistic sexual muse.  Wilde suggested the 22-year-old Cooper Hoffman, a rising star (and son of the late, great Philip Seymour Hoffman) who’s not exactly known for risqué fare. “I’m all, ‘Cooper Hoffman? You mean the kid from Licorice Pizza? That’s so creepy and weird. He’s like a baby!’” Araki says …
