Lana Del Rey performed on ‘Saturday Night Live’ a couple weeks ago, and she was hit with a wave of negative backlash after critics and fans alike hailed her performance as one of the worst-ever.

On Saturday’s ‘SNL’, Kristen Wiig stopped by “Weekend Update” as Del Rey, to chat with Seth Meyers about the backlash, and credited her detractors with being absolutely right. “Based on the public’s response, I must have clubbed a baby seal while singing the Taliban national anthem.”

She went on to say that critics were right to take her to task for changing her name and for not being seasoned enough to perform on the show: “The music stage on ‘Saturday Night Live’ is hallowed ground, and I failed to reach the high bar set by past guests like Bubba Sparxxx, The Baha Men and Shaggy.”

I saw her performance, and I didn’t think it was so bad. I think she’s kind of an awkward performer live, but she actually really has an incredibly voice. I have her new album, ‘Born To Die’, and I absolutely LOVE it. I’ve listened to it over and over and over since I got it, and I would recommend it to anyone!

She’s doing something right, her album is the fastest selling album of 2012 so far, and has been at No. 1 on the charts since it was released.

For those who don’t like Del Rey, you may be in luck. She’s recently told Vogue she’s not sure if she’ll write another album.
“I don’t think I’ll write another record. What would I say? I feel like everything I wanted to say, I’ve said already.”

I hope she DOES write another album. I’m really loving this one!

Can’t wait!

Elizabeth Moss officially filed for divorce from her husband of 11 months, SNL comedian Fred Armisen, this morning.

The Mad Men actress, 28, married Armisen last October. According to the papers that were filed, the couple have been separated since June.

“They had issues,” one insider told Us Weekly of the short-lived pair. One of those issues? Moss’s ties to the Church of Scientology.

“Her religion was as important to her as their marriage, if not more,” another pal told Us. “He could not get with it.”

Armisen isn’t brooding on his own. After their separation, he connected with SNL costar Abby Elliot, 23. “Fred sought comfort in her after the split,” another source says, adding that Moss is “fine” with his new relationship.

“They are both moving on.”
