YOU BELONG ON TV? Obviously, the big thing out of last night's SNL was the Digital Short that parodied Twilight, which is already showing preliminary signs of going viral (and man, was that a note-perfect Kristen Stewart impression). I'm not quite sure how to assess Swift as a performer--the singing monologue again demonstrated her weakness as a live singer (though she hit her comic notes well), and her Kate Gosselin was very "I'm reading the cue cards," though appeared to have been directed that way. That said, she seemed to relax as the show went along, and unlike a lot of non-actor hosts, they didn't depend on her playing herself in every sketch. (Also, points to her on the music for plainly singing live and sans autotune despite her weaknesses, and for having a picture into the performance that highlighted her band rather than just her.)
