TAYLOR SWIFT - "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE" PROMOS
NEW YORK (AP) -- Two of Taylor Swift's promos for tomorrow's "Saturday Night Live" appearance are clean enough for her tween-age fans. The third: not at all. She's with Bill Hader in all three. In one, Swift jokes she's a robot because she's able to host and be the musical guest. In the other clean one, Swift proudly announces she's hosting and performing. Hader says "Oop. Kanye West just called. He thinks Beyonce should host." Hader waits a beat but gets no reaction from Swift. So he asks "funny joke, right?" In the third promo, Hader asks "Hey, Taylor, you want to see a photo of my new baby girl." Swift is excited about that and says yes. But when he shows her the photo on his phone, she goes "Oh. My. God." Hader explains what the picture really is and she adds "yecch." < JOHN FOGERTY - "LIVE BY REQUEST" TOMORROW NIGHT ON PBS LOS ANGELES (AP) - Tomorrow, John Fogerty's playlist will be put together on-the-spot by fans.
