SNL ends season with Justin Timberlake & Ciara on May 9; Will Ferrell & Green Day on May 16
NBC's Saturday Night Live concludes one of its best seasons in years with back-to-back shows in May featuring Justin Timberlake and musical guest Ciara on May 9, and "SNL" alum Will Ferrell and musical guest Green Day on May 16.
After many unforgettable appearances on the show as a guest, Justin Timberlake returns to studio 8H as host. Timberlake's appearances on "SNL" have produced several viral video sensations, such as the Emmy Award-winning song "D**k In A Box," and a recent cameo in November alongside Beyonce in a "Single Ladies" video parody. Timberlake is a six time Grammy award-winner, who came to fame as a member of the multi-platinum group, 'N Sync. In 2002, he released his debut solo album, "Justified," followed by his second solo album, "FutureSex/LoveSounds," with chart-toppers "SexyBack", "My Love", "LoveStoned," and "What Goes Around... / ...Comes Around." The two solo albums have sold over 18 million copies worldwide. Aside from his music career, Timberlake has starred in numerous feature films including, "Alpha Dog," "Shrek The Third," and "Black Snake Moan."
Grammy winner Ciara will be the musical guest and Justin Timberlake will join her to perform her newest single, "Love Sex Magic." Already breaking into the Top Ten on Billboard's Hot 100 List, "Love Sex Magic" is the second single off Ciara's third album, "Fantasy Ride." Gaining notice in 2004 with her triple platinum debut album, "Goodies," the album included number one hits such as "Goodies" and "1,2 Step." She followed with her platinum sophomore album in 2006, "Ciara: The Evolution," which contained chart-toppers such as "Promise" and "Like A Boy." In addition to receiving the prestigious "Entertainer of the Year Award" at the Soul Train Awards in 2005, Ciara has earned four Grammy nominations (including Best New Artist), five ASCAP Awards for Songwriting, three Teen Choice Awards, two BET Awards, and two MTV Video Music Awards.
Will Ferrell, an "SNL" cast member for seven seasons, returns to studio 8H as a second-time host of the show for the season finale on May 16. Ferrell will star in the film "Land of the Lost," due out June 5. After his years at "SNL," Ferrell went on to star in the hit feature films "Old School," "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy," "Elf," "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" and "Step Brothers." Ferrell recently made his Broadway debut in his solo show, "You're Welcome America. A Final Night with George W. Bush" where it enjoyed a six-week sold-out run.
Green Day will make their third appearance as "SNL" musical guest for the season finale. The band's eighth studio album, "21st Century Breakdown," due out Friday, May 15th on Reprise Records, has been heralded by Rolling Stone as "urgent, soaring and powerful." Green Day's trio, Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool, solidified their arrival on the music scene in 1994, with their debut album, "Dookie." The album was a dynamic blast of exuberant three-chord punk rock that sold over 15 million copies worldwide and earned Green Day their first Grammy award. Nearly a decade later, Green Day launched into the stratosphere with their landmark album, "American Idiot," debuting at the top of the Billboard charts and selling more than 12 million copies worldwide. The album also spawned five hit singles and earned seven Grammy nominations, and two Grammy wins, including Best Rock Album.

"LL Cool J: The E! True Hollywood Story"
Premieres Wednesday, April 15 AT 10pm ET/PT ON E!
With a hit record at 16, LL Cool J started fast and today shows no signs of stopping as he celebrates 25 years in the hip-hop game. He called himself "Ladies Love Cool James" and then proved the boast with millions of adoring female fans. Still this powerhouse had plenty to overcome along the way – a tough childhood, rocky relationship, financial near-ruin and critics who thought he'd lost his way. True Hollywood Story tells the tale of this rap icon through brand-new interviews with LL, his family and respected industry colleagues. "LL Cool J: The E! True Hollywood Story," premieres Wednesday, April 15 at 10pm ET/PT on E!
THS reveals LL's amazing quest to become the G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time). In a brand-new interview, LL recounts to E! how he witnessed the aftermath of his mother and grandfather being shot by his estranged father when he was just four years old. LL's mother Ondrea shares with E! how she took LL to his first concert featuring the Sugarhill Gang – and how when gunfire broke out, her young son ducked under the stage so as not to miss a moment of the show. When LL was 16, his track, "I Need a Beat," caught the attention of hip hop mogul-in-training Russell Simmons, and Def Jam Records was born. Twenty-five years later, LL is rap's number one survivor, and, as P. Diddy points out during the episode, this mega-talent has influenced rap music like no other artist.
Not limited to simply music, LL also achieved a successful acting career with numerous roles in film and television. Along the way, LL found time to fall in love and have four children, and his wife Simone reveals the joys and hardships of their long-running relationship, including details about the couple's two and a half-year separation. "LL Cool J: The E! True Hollywood Story" pays tribute to this living legend.

Dolly Parton featured on "60 Minutes", April 5th at 7 p.m. ET/PT on CBS
"60 Minutes" Listings For Sunday, April 5, 2009
CLOSING THE CLINIC - The economic crisis is affecting society's most vulnerable as a county hospital is forced by budget cuts to close an outpatient cancer clinic. Scott Pelley reports.
TORTURE IN IRAN -- In his first U.S. television interview, Ahmad Batebi tells CNN's Anderson Cooper how he was tortured during his eight years in an Iranian prison and how he was finally able to escape.
DOLLY - Dolly Parton, the oh-so-country music superstar with the city-slicker sense of show business talks to Morley Safer about her childhood, her career and the Broadway production of her film, "9 to 5."
- http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/60minutes/main3415.shtml
Dolly Parton says that her cartoon-character looks were a handy smokescreen for men who thought they could take advantage of a silly-looking country girl. The country music star with the city-slicker sense of show business talks to Morley Safer for a 60 MINUTES profile to be broadcast, Sunday, April 5 (7:00-8:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS television Network.
In New York to oversee the upcoming Broadway production of her hit film "9 to 5," she recalls that earlier in her career, men often didn't see beneath the over-the-top country persona she created to drive her success. "Well, I certainly got hit on a lot and a lot of men thought I was as silly as I looked," she tells Safer. This worked to her advantage. "I look like a woman but think like a man and in this world of business that has helped me a lot...by the time they think that I don't know what's going on, I done got the money and gone."
Her business savvy - especially staying in character in public-- has helped her become an entertainment powerhouse, but it's just one part of a three-part entity. "I love the business end of the business," says Parton, who demanded total control long ago over the financial deals and music publishing that have made her very rich. "I am almost like three people. There's me, the person, me, the star and then there's me, the manager." Click here to watch an excerpt.
But when she tells a story from her early childhood, is she giving Safer the business? While showing Safer her mountain house built on the site of her old family home in Tennessee's Great Smoky Mountains, she tells him one of the strangest and funniest stories 60 MINUTES has ever heard. When Safer accuses Parton of making it up, she says, "I swear to God... It's a famous story in our family."
