Over the last 40+ years, Saturday Night Live has had some amazing talent to grace it’s stage and some very well loved co-host too, and actress Margot Robbie is no exception.

On Friday (September 23), SNL has announced that Robbie will host their 42nd season premiere set to debut live on October 1st. Robbie, who has had an amazing year after starring in two major films ‘Suicide Squad’ and ‘Tarzan’, is most well known as the the actress who played Leonardo DiCaprio‘s wife in the major motion film, ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’. Robbie who’s also played in the movie ‘The Big Short’, is no stranger to the big screen – but what about Prime time television? Robbie’s roles on the big screen roles have all been very dramatic, to say the least, so it’ll be very nice to see her let her hair down on the comedy circuit.

According to the NY Daily News, the 26-year-old Australian actress was one of the most frequently requested hosts when ‘SNL’ openly questioned the public for suggestions. After tallying results, SNL took to Twitter to announce that they have given fans their long time wish.

SNL, who recently lost cast members Taran Killam and Jay Pharoah, are coming into the new premiere season with a big bang! This season, the show has announced the addition of three new players joining the cast Alex Moffat, Melissa Villasenor and Mikey Day; in addition to two new head writers.  With the show making major changes  and with Robbie as the opener and musical guest The Weeknd, who just dropped his first single ‘Starboy’ on Tuesday as the musical guest; these strategic moves are proving that SNL is definitely headed for a really good season. Hopefully, SNL will have continued success for many more years to come.

You can catch Robbie and The Weeknd on SNL October 1st on NBC.

Margot Robbie Signs First Look Deal for Harley Quinn Spin-Off

The post Margot Robbie And The Weekend Team Up For SNL Season Premiere appeared first on RESPECT. | The Photo Journal of Hip-Hop Culture.

As we reported back in August, Margot Robbie who plays Harley Quinn in DC’s Suicide Squad movie has been pushing for a spin-off movie centered around her character. Now there is news that Robbie has signed for a first-look deal to develop and produce films through her LuckyChap Entertainment banner, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The actress had become quite attached to her work as Harley Quinn, saying that “I’m so not done playing her yet,” and that “I will do whatever I can to keep playing Harley for another couple of years. Until my body gives out and I can’t do it anymore.” Complex mentions that, while not much is known about the spin-off yet, there will definitely be “other DC heroines.” Whether this includes the good guys, the bad guys, or the ones in between has yet to be released, but we are very excited to see who will appear next. It is reported that this spin-off and other recent film plans are part of the movement to include more women and female-driven stories in the studio. The overdue inclusivity will make a nice difference for the audience, as most of the superhero and supervillain movies and shows that currently exist are focused on the meta-men of the super-universes.

Robbie herself will be the executive producer of the project, and will no doubt give us the best Harley Quinn she can give.

While that spinoff has yet to be greenlit, Margot will be producing and starring in a Harley Quinn spinoff that will feature DC’s female superheroes and villains. We could see characters like Bat Girl, Bird of Prey, Poison Ivy, Talia al Ghul, Killer Frost, Black Canary, Vixen, Hawk Girl or Huntress.

Margot dove into the DC universe when she snagged the role of Harley and immediately fell in love with DC’s female characters. After securing the writer herself, Margot reached out to Warner Bros. who snatched it right up.

As per MovieFone, “A script is already in the works, with a female writer, though THR’s report says that details about the project are so shrouded in secrecy that not only is the plot being kept heavily under wraps, but not even the screenwriter’s name is known. Robbie herself is shepherding the project at Warner Bros., and will produce the flick as well.”

Looks like we may be getting this spinoff sooner rather than later. If Warner Bros decides to fast track this project, this Harley Quinn film would be the second female-led movie in the DCEU, following behind Wonder Woman. It’s looking like it might fill either the Oct. 5, 2018 or the  Nov. 1, 2019 dates that Warner Bros has reserved for DC movies.

Here’s hoping we get to see the women of the DC Universe!

Frank Ocean has been a disappearing act recently but now he’s showing us his Clavins! Recently we’ve seen posts of him in nurse attire and even suspicions of him dropping his new album (lies told on twitter). However, his recent trick is appearing in the new 2016 Calvin Klein ad. I personally couldn’t be more excited to see him coming out to play.

He is shown in the condensed and sense evoking commercial arriving on a 90s style talk show Talk Calvin which, quickly evolves into his own scene where he is speaks the poetic lines:

“The place where the fields went down in flames

we could put a hole in the ground,

throw seeds and dance for rain”

I’m not entirely sure what this means but its the closest thing we have to his lyricism at the moment, so I’ll take it!

The rest of the commercial features others including Young Thug, Zoë Kravitz, Kate Moss, Margot Robbie, and many more! The campaign not only grabs your attention by who is in it but with sounds of music, mixed with melodies, and voices mixed in conversations. The color of the campaign is brilliant and the constant clips that are flickered through is reminiscent of the world we live in today.

As all of this is happening with the words lightly placed over the screen, “I _____ in #mycalvins.” The blank is constantly being changed into different verbs and names as the clips change. Truly expressing that you can do any and everything in your Calvin Kleins.

Frank Ocean might even drop a new album in his Calvins. Maybe? Hopefully? Please?

Check out the new campaign here and get your Frank Ocean fix!
