Pete Davidson to play Joey Ramone in biopic

Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson is set to play Joe Ramone in a new biopic 'I Slept With Joey Ramone', based on the memoir of the same name by Joey Ramone's brother, Mickey Leigh, who is also one of the film’s executive producers. Davidson and his frequent collaborator Jason Orley also penned the script for the film, with Orley also directing the biopic, Rolling Stone reports. Mickey Leigh shared a bed with Joe Ramone, as well as childhood, family, and a lifetime.

"People are afraid of me because I'm different. But really, I'm just your typical gay black country rap sneaker entrepreneur. I put my pants on like everyone else: one ass-less chap at a time" - guest "Lil Nas X" told "Britney Spears" on Saturday Night Live. About his satan video, he said  - "you know that wasn't the real satan, right? It was a dude in a Halloween devil costume, because the real satan doesn't do like music videos, so, maybe chill!". Then to even things out, he also gave god a lapdance.

Pete Davidson, Chris Redd and musical guest Jack Harlow delivered an Eminem-inspired rap about NFT on the latest episode of Saturday Night Live. Rapping on Eminem’s 'Without Me' video Davidson acts as a superhero, he is then joined by Redd’s Morpheus from The Matrix, and Harlow as a janitor.

Timothée Chalamet and Pete Davidson played in a funny sketch on Saturday Night Live this weekend, ridiculing SoundCloud rappers, Huff Post reports. In the sketch, Chalamet and Davidson play Guaplord and $mokecheddathaassgetta, two rappers who broke the record of most streams on SoundCloud with 3 billion. They are joined by Queen Latifah (played by Punkie Johnson) and Questlove (played by the actual Questlove) in an XXL Rap Roundtable hosted by Nunya Bizness (Ego Nwodim). Guaplord and $mokecheddathaassgetta infuriate the esteemed panelists - who give sensible comments - with never-ending screeches of “Yeet” and “Skrt,” citing Fall Out Boys, Kia commercials with the rapping hamsters, and TikTok as their biggest musical influences.

Saturday Night Live aired a Christmas-themed parody of Eminem’s classic 'Stan' video, starring Pete Davidson as "Stu" who repeatedly writes to Santa Claus asking for a PlayStation 5. After he doesn't get it he writes hate mails, when a famous rapper appears to solve the problem.

Jack White performed on Saturday Night Live, accompanied by drummer Daru Jones and bassist Dominic John Davis. They played a bit of White's Beyoncé collaboration, 'Don’t Hurt Yourself', before transitioning into 'Ball and Biscuit' reworked to feature lyrics from 'Jesus is Coming Soon', a traditional gospel song about the 1918 Spanish Flu that was famously performed by Blind Willie Johnson. They finished with 'Lazaretto', for which White played Eddie van Halen model guitar, and in a further nod to Van Halen, White briefly played a finger-tapping solo on the guitar.
