Paul Rudd totally fangirled over Miley Cyrus shoutout during ‘SNL50: Homecoming Concert'
Paul Rudd could hardly contain his excitement after Miley Cyrus gave him a shoutout during a high-profile performance last month. Cyrus performed her hit song 'Flowers' during the 'Homecoming Concert,' a special that celebrated the 50th anniversary of 'Saturday Night Live' and aired on Valentine's Day, which Rudd and his wife Julie attended as part of the live studio audience. Mid-song, Cyrus spotted Rudd in the audience and shouted, 'I love you, Paul Rudd!' The moment left a lasting impact on Rudd, who told WSJ. Magazine in an interview published Tuesday that the surprising shoutout inspired him to channel his inner-teenager. 'When she said that, I did turn into a 15-year-old,' Rudd said. He went on to describe his inner teenage monologue in that moment, saying, 'There's no way! It's like, Oh, my God, she's sick…. I can't. OK, oh, my God. Miley Cyrus said my name!' Rudd added that he spent 'a good 10 minutes afterward' excited about the moment. He even got to talk to Cyrus about it the very next day during rehearsals for the 'SNL' anniversary special that aired later that weekend, where he told her, 'I love you too.' Cyrus, he said, responded by saying, 'Thank you for being a good sport.' The 'Homecoming Concert' and 'Anniversary Special' aired in February to commemorate 50 years of the long-running sketch show, currently in the midst of its 50th season. In addition to Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Chris Martin, Bad Bunny, Post Malone, Jelly Roll, Jack White, Brittany Howard and others performed during the 'Homecoming Concert,' which was hosted by 'SNL' alum Jimmy Fallon and took place at Radio City Music Hall.

Selena Gomez Makes a Blunt Confession About Taylor Swift: 'I Was Mortified'
Selena Gomez recently made a blunt confession involving Taylor Swift—and the interaction left her "mortified." On March 19, Gomez and her music producer fiancé, Benny Blanco, appeared on Spotify's Countdown To ahead of the March 21 release of her album I Said I Love You First. 🎬 🎬 The couple, who got engaged in December after dating for more than a year, dished on their relationship, among other topics. 'What was our first party that we ever went to?' Blanco asked Gomez as he drove them in a convertible in Los Angeles. 'I don't know if this was the first but it was actually really funny," the "Lose You to Love Me" singer replied. "As a couple, we went to Taylor's party after some awards show." Gomez then confessed, "I don't know it was kind of cute, but I was mortified. Apparently, cool people don't show up to parties on time." "We're the first people at every single party when I go with you," Blanco pointed out. "You show up like when my mother shows up to a party." He then explained that no one knew they were dating at Swift's party. "So we didn't even touch each other or really even look at each other," he recalled. Gomez and Swift's friendship dates back to 2008 when Gomez dated Nick Jonas and Swift dated Joe Jonas. 'We clicked instantly and, man, that was my girl,' Selena told WSJ. Magazine of Swift in 2020. The "Shake It Off" songstress agreed with the sentiment. 'There has always been this quality of sisterhood, and I don't say that in a basic way. I knew from when I met her I would always have her back," Swift shared. "In my life, I have the ability to forgive people who have hurt me. But I don't know if I can forgive someone who hurts her.' I Said I Love You First drops on Friday, March 21. Next:

Lin-Manuel Miranda Reprises His 'Hamilton 'Role, and Breaks Character, During Surprise 'SNL' Appearance: Watch
Lin-Manuel Miranda stepped back into one of his most popular roles for Saturday Night Live. The actor, 46, made a surprise appearance during the Jan. 25 episode of the late-night comedy series, where he reprised his breakout role of Alexander Hamilton in Hamilton for a "Founding Fathers" opening sketch. (Timothée Chalamet later acted as both host and musical guest.) Miranda came out to cheers from the audience while dressed in full costume as his character from the hit musical, as he was joined by James Austin Johnson as President Donald Trump to sign the Declaration of Independence. 'I say our lives matter not if we lose them in the cause of liberty. What matters is the nation we build,' Miranda said, before he rapped, ''Cause in America, all men are created equal / America, not England, we doing the sequel / And we will have leaders, but know one thing, in America, we will never have a king." Johnson then stepped into frame as Trump, interjecting, 'Never say Never,' as Miranda and the rest of the cast froze in the background. Related: The Cast of Hamilton: Where Are They Now? Johnson's Trump went on to make a joke-filled speech, and, at one point, walked right up to Miranda, causing him to break character as he smiled slightly while still frozen on the spot. 'Oh, look at Lin. Look how bad he wants to do a rap,' said Johnson. 'He even wrote a whole rap and he doesn't get to do it. Oh, the audience would have eaten that right up." 'He's in sniffing distance of an EGOT, and he's got to stand there until I'm done,' the comedian continued, referring to the acronym for earning an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award. 'Linny, Linny, Linny, Linny," he added, throwing in one more tease, calling the songwriter, "Lin-Manuel Miranda Cosgrove." Related: Lin-Manuel Miranda Made 'Many Calls' Asking for Wicked Cameo but Director Decided It'd Be 'Too Distracting': 'Sorry, Lin!' Hamilton was created by Miranda and inspired by Ron Chernow's 2004 biography of Alexander Hamilton, merging biographical storytelling with rapping and hip hop/R&B influences. The musical debuted off-Broadway on Jan. 20, 2015, and later became a cultural phenomenon, winning 11 Tony Awards, a Grammy and a Pulitzer Prize.

Speaking about the impact of Hamilton in 2020, Miranda told WSJ. Magazine, "There's nothing new about what's happening. It's been interesting to see the different things that pop up, because I was trying to tell this specific story, but I was grabbing from the America I know. So it all hits in different ways, based on where America is.' Saturday Night Live airs weekends on NBC. Read the original article on People
