The SNL 40th Anniversary Special Highlights You Must See

1. Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake, a.k.a. the cutest boy BFF-couple ever, opened with a musical medley.
It will melt your heart, make you laugh, and a piece of you will die because they are so perfect.

2. The Californians Skit.
This skit stars Kristen Wiig, Fred Armisan, Bill Hader, Betty White and more. Bless Taylor Swift for her addition to the skit that is extremely awkward, yet you still have to love her. Keri Washington also makes an appearance as a character that is a far cry from Olivia Pope. Oh, and check out Bradley Cooper’s lip lock with Betty White.

3. The look back at the best politic impressions is gold.
Politics are one of the absolute best parts of SNL, hands down. The impressions are always spot-on – I mean its actually creepy how much Tina Fey looks like Sarah Palin, and who doesn’t just love Will Ferrell’s George W?

4. Will Ferrell nails the role of Alex Trebek.
Ferrell plays Trebek In Celebrity Jeopardy. The Justin Bieber and Matthew McConaughey characters will have you in stitches. Also, the inevitable Bill Cosby reference that Eddie Murphy refused to do was thrown in here.

5. Maya Rudolph pulls off a great Beyoncé.
She is phenomenal In this clip, hair blowing in the wind and all. Skip to 3:20 in this clip if you want to see the real queen (Kristen Wiig).

6. Zach Galifianakis sports a Sia wig.
After a super weird performance Sia did with Kanye, this skit aired. Galifianakis introduces a hilarious bit of Andy Samberg and Adam Sandler singing about when SNL cast members lose it and laugh mid-skit.

7. Wayne's World totally called Kanye out.
And it was great. They poked fun at the singer for inviting himself on stage a number of times as they read the Top 10 Things About SNL.

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
