Shakira Flattered By Taylor Swift’s “SNL” Spoof
Shakira isn’t seeing red after being poked fun at by country-pop rocker Taylor Swift on last weekend’s Saturday Night Live.
The Colombian with the most famous hips in music celebrated the release of her new album, She Wolf, at a Rolling Stone party in New York Monday and couldn’t stop laughing after Access Hollywood played her the clip of Taylor impersonating the Latin pop tart’s signature moves for SNL’s “Bunny Business” skit.
“That’s crazy,” Shakira said. “I feel flattered. I love Taylor,” the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer added. “I think she’s awesome. She’s beautiful and a great talent and that is just really, really funny.”
Taylor Swift Saturday Night Live Monologue (VIDEO)
Each of the famous men in Taylor Swift’s life earned name drops in her inaugural Saturday Night Live monologue over the weekend. The country singer sang about ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas, her rumored boyfriend Taylor Lautner, and the man who ambushed her at the MTV Video Music Awards in August, rapper Kanye West, as she opened the long-running sketch comedy series on Saturday night.
“If you’re wondering if I might be dating the werewolf from ‘Twilight’ I’m not going to comment on that in my monologue,” Swift sang, before mouthing “Hi Taylor,” and blowing Lautner, 17, a kiss.
“You might be expecting me to say something bad about Kanye [West]. But there’s nothing more to say because everything’s okay…I’ve got security lining the stage,” the songstress teased.
And poor Joe Jonas really got an earful: “You might think I’d bring up Joe, that guy who broke up with me on the phone, but I’m not gonna mention him in my monologue,” Taylor continued. “Joe, I’m doing real well—tonight I’m hosting SNL!”

Michael Bublé remains in the top spot this week on the Billboard 200 chart for the second week in a row. Bublé’s album Crazy sold 203,000 copies this week, its first full week in stores, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
This marks Bublé’s second-best sales week ever. His best week came when “Call Me Irresponsible” started with 213,000 in 2007.
The Twilight Saga: New Moon soundtrack comes in at No. 2 with 115,000 copies. The soundtrack’s release date was moved up in order to combat leaks. It may rise to the No.1 spot next week if it can stay ahead of Tim McGraw’s new album Southern Voice.
NBC Makes Jon Bon Jovi First ‘Artist In Residence’
In order to promote his new album The Circle, which is due out November 10th, Jon Bon Jovi will only appear on TV shows owned by NBC Universal – dubbing him their “artist in residence!”
“Of course you usually try to be out there everywhere, when a new album is coming out,” said Bon Jovi. “So we have to sacrifice certain shows and relationships. We hope this doesn’t jeopardize any of them. But in a shrinking media environment, you have to kind of reinvent the wheel.”
His appearances will include the Today show, The Tonight Show, The Jay Leno Show, Saturday Night Live, and Inside the Actors Studio. He will also appear on the NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams on a segment entitled Making a Difference highlighting his philanthropic work.
Taylor Swift To Host Saturday Night Live Nov. 7
Taylor Swift will host Saturday Night Live on Nov. 7, NBC announced Thursday.
Will she do a skit making fun of the Kanye West incident!? Let’s hope so!
The 19-year-old, who performed on the sketch comedy series in January, will be hosting for the first time, and she’s already got a few idea.
“I’ve been thinking about skit ideas for a long time,” Taylor told The Associated Press. “There are definitely some hilarious things that have happened to me over the past couple of months that I think will be pretty substantial skits.”
The starlet called the chance to host the series — now in its 35th season — “mind-blowing” and says it’s been difficult to keep the appearance under wraps since producers asked her during the summer. She adds, “I love being around people who I feel have a different kind of creative genius. And the funny genius is definitely a fascinating one to be around.”
