Although some people think SNL is on the decline, it still catapults some of our favorite comedians into super stardom. Like, Bridesmaids star and writer Kristen Wiig. Wiig found her way into America’s heart playing the wacky and brilliant characters we’ve all come to love. Now, those characters are joining the ranks of Rachel Dratch’s Debbie Downer and Will Ferrell’s George W. Bush. This past Saturday Wiig danced her way to a good-bye in her touching final episode. Now, we can at least hope for a cameo here and there.

Even though she’s only just left, I’m looking forward to the reprisal of some of her best characters. Some of her memorable were recurring roles and others only graced our televisions once. Either way, here are some that I’ll never forget.

Wiig has had so many other fantastic characters. Who are you going to miss the most?

Ariana Romero is a student at Syracuse University. That would probably explain why she once had a load of laundry filled solely  with orange tee shirts. She watches too much television and reads too much entertainment news than is probably healthy. Follow her on Twitter @ArianaRomero17.

That’s the million dollar question, huh? I feel like we’ve been waiting so long for Lindsay Lohan to make a real comeback and steal our hearts like she did back in the day. After several stints in jail and her court fiascos, all of us have been wishing that cute little ginger would turn her life around. But she keeps proving us wrong over and over, so I don’t blame the world for thinking she can’t do it. On the flip side, someone’s got to give her a little hope. Leave it to the folks at Saturday Night Live to give her a billionth chance, and she thinks she did a great job.

Well, props to Lindsay for taking a break from the morgue to attempt a comeback at acting. It takes a lot of guts to make fun of yourself and all of your scandals on public television. Sadly, it wasn’t quite the performance we were looking for. In between jokes about her drug use, brief time as a lesbian, car chases, and bad movies, you can catch Lindsay staring at the cue cards and being super awkward. I couldn’t help but cringe.

I really hope this doesn’t mark the end of the funny Lindsay we saw in Mean Girls, but I think it might be. I will admit that Lindsay looked healthy, so that was a relief. I truly want her to make a real comeback and become her old talented self, though maybe she should keep focusing on her wellbeing instead of jumping back into acting too soon. I think she has the potential to have a great career again, but I don’t think it’s quite that time yet. Maybe she should continue to lay low for a while and keep her life on the right track for now.

What do you think? How do you think Lindsay did on SNL last night? Is she comeback ready?

Stick a fork in me, I’m done. Channing Tatum hosted Saturday Night Live last night. While SNL has had some pretty funny sketches lately, I thought last night’s episode was hilarious. Maybe I was distracted by Channing’s beautiful, chiseled jaw line and bulging biceps. Or maybe the show’s season is finally picking up speed. Channing’s former career as a stripper was spoofed, along with some politicians, an open-shirted Channing as Matthew McConaughey and Lana del Rey, who bombed her performance in January. Whether you think this episode is funny or not, you don’t want to miss out on the multiple instances of Channing’s hip thrusts and lip licking.

And I just think everyone needs to see Channing Tatum rip his shirt off…

For Chanukah there are many things I want from stores around town or off my favorite sites online, but this year I’d prefer some things I’ve learned from Saturday Night Live. Who said TV isn’t educational? It’s taught me about my true wants and desires. (Besides number 4, but I’m trying to help you girls out there any way I can.) If at least one of these come true, I’ll be happy to spin the dreidel and share my Chanukah gelt. Happy Holidays everyone!

I was watching 7 Minutes in Heaven with Jason Sudeikis this morning and had a revelation: I think I like him.

Now, don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I didn’t like him before, I just never really thought about him. But you know what? He’s kinda cute. And goofy. And I might not spending seven minutes in a closet with him. Just sayin’.

So, dear readers, have I been existing in my own bubble of ignorance on this one, or is everyone finally waking up to realize the dude’s kinda charming and funny in an awkward dad sort of way? Has my sudden desire to make out with anyone in sight caused this knee-jerk infatuation, or is he actually an acceptable male specimen? Help me out, guys!!

Chris Brown went from cute teen pop star to even cuter boyfriend of Barbadian goddess Rihanna, and ended up becoming the bad-boy of R&B. Or, more accurately, the guy who makes the music that we all feel guilty listening to because of the infamous incident.

Most of us can’t forget what Mr. Brown did to Rihanna, can’t get the images of her badly beaten face out of our minds. No matter how many catchy songs the guy attempts to put out.

So how are we supposed to feel about his upcoming stint on SNL?

Despite your opinions on how artists’ personal lives should influence their career, there’s no denying that Chris Brown messed up. Badly. In a very public way. In a perfect world, artists could pull a Miley/Hannah Montana-esque quick-change and keep their two worlds separate, but we know that’s impossible. So why is SNL choosing to promote and support him with the music guest spot on the February 12th episode?

Controversy is always a sure way to get viewers’ attention, and ratings and it seems the old adage “any PR is good PR” is true. At least for NBC and SNL. It seems as though they are choosing to reward Chris “beat-down” Brown with a coveted spot on the show, hoping to lure in viewers who just want to see how it all goes down.

In fact, it seems that SNL is turning into the most popular stop on the celebrity redemption tour. Check out who’s hosting next month. Hell, we wouldn’t be surprised if Charlie Sheen was on there next.

When I groaned after No Strings Attached ended, my friend turned to me and said, “If you hate romance, don’t go see romantic comedies!” And those who have read my reviews before probably already know that I’m not a sucker for romance. So you would think that I might enjoy a comedy about platonic sex buddies Emma and Adam (played by Nathalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher). They have their simple romance-free rules, just in case they start falling for each other. But as we all know, in the world of romantic comedies, rules are made to be broken. Corny jokes and unrealistic situations ensue.

Portman and Kutcher are beautiful people, no one can deny that. It’s not hard to watch them on screen. But after seeing Portman’s work in Black Swan, there’s just no comparison. She is capable of challenging herself as an actress, but No Strings Attached is the kind of movie that comes out a hundred times in a year. A girl with commitment issues “unexpectedly” reveals that her heart isn’t made of stone. Not completely original. I’m not yet convinced that Kutcher can take on tougher roles than the cute, flawless love interest, but he owes it to himself to at least try something new.

There are a lot of minor characters who the audience is forced to become invested in, but don’t get any reward. Abby Elliot, known for being a current cast member on SNL, could have used a lot more screen time. The same goes for Mindy Kaling (The Office), Olivia Thirlby (Juno), Kevin Kline, and Ludacris. And there’s a puppy, who’s a complete scene-stealer. Unfortunately rather than getting to know their characters, we’re forced to sit through almost two hours of Adam and Emma will-they-won’t-they.

Every movie has some redeeming qualities, though, and this one has two: its use of technology…and Ludacris. Unlike the majority of this unrealistic movie (Adam’s dad gets together with Adam’s ex-girlfriend just for an example off the top of my head), the use of technology was actually clever. When Adam and his friends analyze text messages and voicemails going back and forth between him and Emma, it was pretty reminiscent of some conversations between my friends. (Ever have one of those conversations: “OMG, he texted me ‘hi.’ What do I say back?” and then debate possible responses for an hour?) That’s the one great thing about romantic comedies; they’re usually not in production for an extended period of time, so they are pretty relevant.

Overall, if you’re unlike me and are looking to lose yourself in a simple romantic comedy with a couple of clever, check out No Strings Attached. It will definitely deliver. If you’re hoping for a movie with a little more meat that makes you feel something, go watch one of the Academy Award front-runners instead (try The King’s Speech if you haven’t seen it yet).
