SNL U.K.’ Weekend Update Takes Aim at Katy Perry’s Met Gala Mask, Which Symbolizes ‘What It’s Like To Live Life as a Stupid Moron’

"SNL U.K.'s Weekend Update targeted Met Gala attendees this week in Episode 7, with co-host Ania Magliano saying the event's theme was "people you'd like to see exploded."

She said, "Beyoncé looked amazing," and then joked about her silver headpiece: "Someone's made the most of the Claire's closing down sale" (a reference to the closure of all Claire's Accessories stores in the U.K.).
Magliano then talked about Katy Perry's outfit, calling it "an eerie mirrored mask covering her whole face, symbolizing what it's like to live life as a stupid moron."

Moving on from the Met Gala, Magliano read a headline about former "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here" winner Scarlet Moffat, who said she "actually enjoyed eating camel penis" during her time on the show.
"And for those of you interested in showbiz jargon, in TV we call 'eating a penis' auditioning," the SNL U.K. cast member joked.

Meanwhile, co-host Paddy Young noted that famed natural history broadcaster David Attenborough turned 100 years old yesterday.
"In celebration of his milestone birthday, London Zoo have told him he's finally allowed to choose and make love to one animal to celebrate," Young said.

The Weekend Update hosts then welcomed fellow castmember Hammed Animashaun on.
Dressed as a rhino, Animashaun revealed he had beef with Attenborough after blaming the naturalist for his mother getting shot by poachers.

At which point Fouracres, reprising his role as Attenborough, ran onto the stage dressed in WWE-style spandex and began wrestling with Animashaun.
Quickly other castmates, also dressed as wild animals, joined in and Magliano and Young began commentating as though it were a wrestling match. "I've never seen anything like it on Weekend Update," the co-hosts marveled.

"Ted Lasso" star Hannah Waddingham hosted the seventh and penultimate episode of "SNL U.K.," which wraps for the season next week.
In her opening monologue, she jokingly compared her hit Apple TV show "Ted Lasso" to "SNL U.K., saying: "Rich Americans working together, team spirit, and communal showers, yes, that was surprising and excellent."

She added: "Brett Goldstein is a very hairy man.

Jonathan Bailey and Natalie Portman to Star in Thriller ‘Pumping Black’ for Anton

Hollywood's newest leading man, Jonathan Bailey, has signed on for a new movie.

After winning the title of 2025's biggest box office star thanks to "Jurassic World Rebirth" and "Wicked: For Good," the actor is now working with Oscar-winning actress Natalie Portman (from "May December" and "Black Swan") on a psychological thriller called "Pumping Black."

 This film is set in the high-pressure world of professional cycling.

Anton will be showing the movie internationally at Cannes, with CAA representing the U.S.  

 When Taylor becomes "The Bachelorette," and Jen and Whitney go to "Dancing with the Stars," the competition becomes chaotic, and traditions are challenged. Faced with crumbling marriages, personal issues, and family secrets, they must choose to support each other or face their futures alone. Will the women stay loyal to their sisterhood to save it, or will #MomTok fall apart? (Disney/Fred Hayes)

A Christian college dating show called "Ring by Spring Break" will be on Hulu  

The movie will be directed by Mimi Cave, known for directing the 2022 horror film "Fresh" and the 2025 comedy-mystery "Holland."

 Cave will be directing from a screenplay by Haley Hope Bartels.

"Pumping Black" follows cyclist Taylor Mace, who is 35 and finding it harder to stay competitive in the sport.

 He is taken under the wing of Andrea Lathe, a doctor who is driven by her desire to win and gain power. As the race to the Tour de France continues, Taylor is forced to do more and more dangerous things to protect his secret. The film is described as an "adrenaline-filled, dangerous thriller," similar to "Whiplash" and "Black Swan."

The movie is being produced by Stacey Sher at Shiny Penny ("The Hateful Eight," "Heretic"), Cave, Anton's Sébastien Raybaud ("Victorian Psycho"), and Natalie Portman and Sophie Mas from MountainA ("May December," "Arco").

 Anton is fully funding the project, and production is scheduled for the fall.

" Haley's script immediately pulled us into a vivid, psychological world that feels both thrilling and completely original," said Sher.

 "I'm excited to partner with Natalie and MountainA on this bold project, and to work with Jonathan, whose talent makes him a perfect fit for the role. I can't wait to collaborate with Anton and bring Mimi Cave's incredible vision to life."  

After breaking out in the Netflix hit "Bridgerton," Bailey has reached a wide audience thanks to the "Wicked" franchise and "Jurassic World Rebirth.

" The combined box office of "Rebirth" ($869 million globally) and "Wicked: For Good" ($540 million) made him the highest-grossing actor in 2025.

Meanwhile, Portman won an Oscar for "Black Swan" and is known for other acclaimed roles like "Jackie," "V for Vendetta," and parts in the "Star Wars" and "Thor" franchises.

 On TV, she starred in and executive produced Apple TV's "Lady in the Lake." Her upcoming projects with MountainA include "The Gallerist" by Cathy Yan and "Good Sex" by Lena Dunham.

Super-producer Sher has been involved in over two dozen major films that have grossed nearly $2.7 billion at the box office.

 She's worked with big-name directors like Quentin Tarantino ("Pulp Fiction," "Django Unchained," "The Hateful Eight") and Steven Soderbergh ("Erin Brockovich," "Out of Sight," "Contagion"), as well as films such as "Garden State," "Reality Bites," "Get Shorty," "Man on the Moon," "Gattaca," and "Respect." She is currently producing the Amazon/MGM erotic thriller "Verity," directed by Michael Showalter and starring Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson, and Josh Hartnett.

Anton's Cannes lineup includes "My Darling California," an all-star crime thriller with a cast that includes Jessica Chastain, Chris Evans, Chris Pine, Mikey Madison, Charles Melton, and Don Cheadle, and "In Love," a modern love story starring George Clooney and Annette Bening.

 Recently, he announced the alien invasion thriller "Soon You Will Be Gone and Possibly Eaten" starring Sophie Wilde and Dave Franco, "Doctor Caligari's Cabinet of Wonders" starring Michael Shannon, and "Starman," an emotional journey starring Brendan Fraser.

Jonathan Bailey is represented by CAA, Conway Van Gelder Grant, and Anonymous Content.

 His legal team is Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, Hoberman, Newman, Warren, Richman, Rush, Kaller, Gellman, Meigs & Fox LLP. Natalie Portman is represented by CAA and attorney George Sheanshang. Mimi Cave is represented by CAA and Jackoway Austen. Stacey Sher is represented by CAA and Gang, Tyre, Ramer.
