Darrell Hammond will be new announcer for 'Saturday Night Live'
Darrell Hammond
New York - UPI
Former Saturday Night Live cast member Darrell Hammond is to return as the sketch comedy show's new announcer, NBC announced Thursday.
Hammond will take over the role from the late Don Pardo, who died last month at the age of 96. Pardo announced SNL's title, host, musical guest and cast members after the opening "Live from New York...." for 39 seasons.
Hammond is to begin his new gig when the show's 40th season premieres Sept. 27, with guest host Chris Pratt and musical act Ariana Grande.
"As a cast member for 14 seasons, Hammond appeared on SNL longer than any other cast member in the show's history," NBC said in a news release. "During his time at the show, Hammond was lauded for his memorable impressions including President Bill Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, Donald Trump, Sen. John McCain, Sir Sean Connery and Regis Philbin. In addition to his work on SNL, Hammond is a New York Times bestselling writer, stand-up comedian and stage and television actor."

Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
