Spot on! Ariana Grande did an impression of Jennifer Lawrence on Saturday Night Live for a Family Feud skit

During a Family Feud skit, she was introduced by Steve Harvey - played by Kenan Thompson - as he stated: 'Talks like a man, but pH balanced for a woman.'Dressed in a low cut cleavage-baring white dress, the Bang Bang singer took to the podium to name a bad habit she just can't quit.

Lawrence (Grande) was dressed just like the American Hustle star in a short blonde bob as she rang the buzzer and answered.

'Screw it': Grande emphasized what a 'regular' person she was, imitating Lawrence's laid back style

'I'm just like a snackaholic, I mean I love Pringles, if no one's looking I'll eat like, a whole can. Like, every day is my cheat day, you know what I mean?' she added.

'Oh how annoyingly relatable,' the game show host quipped back.

And the pop star also mixed humour with her singing prowess during the opening monologue when she expressed her desire for an adult scandal.

As she began to break into her anthem she continued: 'I think I am in a place where I am ready to be caught in a real, adult scandal.'

I'm just like a snackaholic': She made it clear how 'regular' she is and just munches on snacks all the time

'Oh how annoyingly relatable': Kenan Thompson replied as he played game show host Steve Harvey

‘A real scandal you know? Something to take my career to the next level. Something that says welcome to Hollywood kid.

‘Miley has had them, Bieber has had them, everyone has had them and each day I sit by my window and I dream, what will my scandal be?’

She then sang a song which came up with potential scandals including botox, making an anti-semitic Twitter joke, trashing a hotel room, or having a love child with Drake.

The show’s cast then joined her to sing about her potential scandals as she pretended her breasts were going to pop out.

She opened her monologue with a song in search of an adult scandal.

And although Ariana Grande's makeout session may not have been a complete disgrace, it definitely made headlines the next morning.

The 22-year-old singer was spotted passionately kissing her backup dancer beau Ricky Alvarez after she hosted and performed on Saturday Night Live.

The couple attended the hit NBC show's after-party which was held at New York City's Biblioteca lounge.

And it was with the same boyfriend that she found herself in hot water last year after she licked a donut that she hadn't paid for.

Last July, the Bang Bang singer was caught on a surveillance camera as she entered a Lake Elsinore, California doughnut shop with Alvarez.

When donuts were placed on the counter, she said: 'What the f**k is that? I hate Americans. I hate America.' Then she licked them.

Although the owner of the store decided not to press charges of criminal mischief, the cashier on duty said the pop singer was 'really rude.'

But the brunette beauty was able to poke fun at herself on the late-night sketch comedy show and explained: 'Yes it was childish and stupid and I have learned that it is really time to grow up.'

As she began to break into her anthem she continued: 'I think I am in a place where I am ready to be caught in a real, adult scandal.'

She batted it out of the park: The performer won points for her variety of sketches

Much of her artistry revolves around her ever-evolving image as well as her controversial lyrics.

But on Saturday Rihanna attempted to keep attention on her vocal performance as she mesmerised viewers on Saturday Night Live.

The 24-year-odld singer took to the stage for her first ever live performance of her new single Diamonds and distracted viewers with images projected onto a green screen which she stood in front of.

Diamonds: Rihanna performed her new single on Saturday Night Live this evening

Used to putting on a full dance routine to entertain audiences, this time Rihanna – who real name Is Robyn Fenty – used her band members as part of her clever display.

As visions such as colourful suns, moons and palm trees graced the stage set, her backing musicians appeared as floating heads at certain points when their T-shirts became a part of the background design.

Rihanna’s get-up however did not change throughout the performance of the track from her forthcoming album Unapologetic.

Illusions: The singer stood in front of a green screen to get psychedelic images on the stage

More covered up than usual: The singer kept attention on her vocals rather than her outfit

Bright pout: The star wore a slick of red colour on her lips

She donned a camouflage style slip dress which she covered up with a large coat to match.

The singer – who is currently sporting her undercut hair to one side in a wavy style – added a slick of red lipstick and donned biker boots with her ensemble.

Rather than her sexy moves or barely there outfits attention was certainly on her vocal talent although the rather outdated backdrop was a little distracting.

Back for more: Rihanna later took to the stage for a second track

Powerful voice: This time her stage set was more simplistic

That evening she was spotted exiting her hotel in an eye-catching Chanel outfit.

The monochrome clothing consisted of brogue shoes form the brand as well as their round-frame sunglasses.

She teamed it with white jeans, a black dress and bulky ebony coat to help cope with the New York City weather.
