“Saturday Night Live” takes another chance on an unknown (by the show’s standards) musical guest when Karmin performs tonight for host Zooey Deschanel.

Last month, fellow Internet sensation Lana Del Rey took the “SNL” stage – sparking backlash and eventually backlash to the backlash.

For many viewers, it will be the first time encountering Karmin, a duo comprised of Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan.

So… who are they?

Heidemann and Noonan (who are engaged) soared to prominence after posting a YouTube clip in which they cover the Chris Brown song “Look At Me Now,” a video that now has nearly 57 million views.

Additional videos of the two performing pop hits and their own material (such as the song “Brokenhearted”) circulated online, creating buzz and leading to a record deal and their “SNL” gig.

Their debut full-length studio album, Hello, is set for an April release.

Karmin discusses “Saturday Night Live” rehearsals and more in the video below.

As for whether they’ll be greeted with reaction similar to Del Rey following her January appearance on the show – stay tuned.

“Lana del Rey’s tour has been postponed in the wake of the chanteuse’s disastrous ‘SNL’ appearance last month,” reports the New York Post.

According to the paper, “The ‘Video Games’ singer’s gigs were to coincide with the release of her album, ‘Born To Die’ — but the plug was pulled after her tour managers, booking agents and label heads at Interscope powwowed following her bizarre, listless appearance on ‘SNL.’”

A source tells the Post, “She was very upset” about canceling the tour, but notes that Del Rey and her manager “figure the extra time gives them more distance from ‘SNL.’”

Another insider says Interscope determined the singer “wasn’t ready to tour, and that live shows would hurt record sales.”

The paper says Del Rey’s 30-date U.S. tour was slated to kick off “as soon as March.”

That all would be big news – if it were true.

Del Rey NEVER had a tour scheduled for the Spring in the first place.

“There has never been a Spring tour announced or cancelled,” her rep tells Gossip Cop.

In actuality, as previously announced, the singer plans to hit the road in October.

And as for claims that Del Rey is backing away from live performances altogether after “SNL,” the star is still scheduled to play in California this week.

Channing Tatum hosted this week’s “Saturday Night Live,” and opened with a monologue that poked fun at his background as a stripper.

After some former “customers” seated in the audience refused to acknowledge their strip club past, Tatum really went to town when he recognized his best client, played by Fred Armisen.

Yes – Channing Tatum took off his shirt.

Is Justin Bieber going to host “Saturday Night Live”?

While absolutely nothing has been confirmed, the news was possibly leaked by 16-time host Alec Baldwin during an interview he conducted with “SNL” boss Lorne Michaels for his Here’s The Thing podcast.

Reading off Michaels’ bulletin board of the season’s hosts, Baldwin says, “The biggest names in the business are coming here [to host]. You have Ben Stiller and Melissa McCarthy, [who] won the Emmy Award… and Katy Perry‘s coming and Jimmy Fallon… Jonah Hill, and I don’t want to ruin any other names, [but] Bieber’s confirmed, and he’s the music and the [host].”

Bieber has never hosted, although he did serve as the musical guest for Tina Fey’s 2010 hosting turn.

The next two “SNL” broadcasts will be hosted by Zooey Deschanel (February 4) and Channing Tatum (February 11).

Her recent performance on “Saturday Night Live” was greeted with a lot of criticism, but Lana Del Rey has a fall-back in case pop stardom fizzles.

She’s a babysitter.

In a rather surprising interview with MTV, Del Rey talks about still leading a “really normal life,” including a twice-a-week babysitting gig with a 10-year-old boy.

“When I’m here, it’s what I do. It’s just because it’s something I’ve been doing for a while,” she says.

Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow has no love for “Saturday Night Live,” according to the National Enquirer.

The tabloid says the show, which last month aired a hilarious sketch in which “Jesus” advises the devout NFL star (Taran Killam) to “take it down a notch,” supposedly “asked the pious jock to host an upcoming show!”

But Tebow allegedly told SNL “NO WAY!” and issued a statement through his reps saying, “Tim was not impressed with the skit, which embarrassed him — nor does he agree with the show’s liberal philosophy.”

The Enquirer claims the show’s producers “vow they won’t give up, and will try to snag Tim for next season.”

Unfortunately, the supermarket tab has fumbled again.

SNL NEVER tried to get him in the first place.

A source involved with the show tells Gossip Cop the tale is completely “not true.”

When relative newcomer Lana Del Rey was picked to be the musical guest on Daniel Radcliffe’s “Saturday Night Live,” many observers were unfamiliar with her music and wondered who she was.

After watching her performance on Saturday, at least some celebrity viewers are less than impressed.

Juliette Lewis slammed Del Rey on Twitter, writing, “Wow watching this ‘singer on SNL is like watching a 12 yearold in their bedroom when theyre pretending to sing and perform. #signofourtimes.”

“Who…is…this wack-a-doodle chick performing on #SNL..? Whaaaa?” tweeted Eliza Dushku.

A legion of Del Rey fans quickly turned on Dushku, leading the actress to clarify that she didn’t mean anything nasty with her remark.

Del Rey is one of the only singers ever given the chance to perform on “SNL” before releasing a first album.

Check out her performance below.

He might be best known as Harry Potter, but Daniel Radcliffe now also has the distinction of being the only performer to play Casey Anthony’s new dog.

On “Saturday Night Live,” Radcliffe portrayed the pooch with a memorable costume and some exceedingly dark humor.

When the world first learned of Anthony’s new dog, a lot of people probably had a reaction similar to the one depicted by Radcliffe as the anxious, sarcastic Yorkshire terrier.

There are other cameos, too, by professors MacGonagall and Snape, as well as an appearance by Rubeus Hagrid, who’s married former student Luna Lovegood.

Denver Broncos Tim Tebow got the “SNL” treatment on Saturday.

In the show’s last sketch, the devout quarterback (Taran Killam), who’s led his team to a string of victories — often pulling from behind in the fourth quarter — is visited in the locker room by Jesus (Jason Sudeikis), who explains that he is “the reason you’ve won your past six football games.”

After Tebow says, “The Holy Bible is my playbook,” Jesus advises, “You need to read the regular playbook” and to “take it down a notch.”

Jesus then wishes the Broncos good luck on Sunday against the New England Patriots, noting, “If I’m the son of God, Tom Brady’s got to be the guy’s nephew. That guy’s a miracle worker.”

In the wake of the sex abuse allegations at Penn State and then Syracuse, Central University’s Head Basketball Coach Larry Stevens (Jason Sudeikis) holds a press conference to says that it was “imperative to me that we made sure that nothing like that was going on right here at our program at Central.”

Coach Stevens adds, “I don’t think that I’m alone in saying that the first person who popped into my head as a potential sexual predator was ‘Coach Bert’” — much to the surprise of Coach Bert (Steve Buscemi), who’s sitting right next to him.

Stevens notes that Coach Bert “has all the tell-tale signs of a sexual predator. I mean, he’s anti-social. Lives with his mom. He’s never had a girlfriend.”

The coach then turns over the press conference to the District Attorney, the president of the local chapter of NAMBLA (North American Man-Boy Love Association), and a local high schooler, who was sent to Coach Bert’s house to offer to “do anything” for him.
