Pete Davidson cannot escape speculation about his romantic life—first Ariana, then Kate Beckinsale and Kaia Gerber—and while some are puzzling over what these fabulous famous women see in the guy, RuPaul might be able to enlighten us. When hosting SNL this weekend, Ru took one look at Pete and saw gorgeous potential—that is, cheekbones that with a little finessing, could help turn him into the greatest drag queen in the world.As RuPaul was voguing during a photoshoot, he spotted Chad (Pete Davidson’s wildly popular stoner-numskull character) and he instantly knew Chad would slayyy the runway. “There’s something dynamic about you boy!”“Okay,” Chad shrugs in his signature deadpan. Did SNL just crossover our two favourite things in the world? Because honey, yes—this is everything. “Ruple,” as Chad calls him, takes the space-cadet under his wing and shows him how to tuck and tape, wear a prosthetic bosom (“Chad! Leave your chicken cutlets alone child!”), and properly pucker his lipsticked mouth. The result is the most glorious Pete Davidson we've ever seen. Though he could stand to work on "sissy-ing his walk." Hey, Mama Ru can only do so much with what she's given.[video_embed id='1812329']RELATED: Fans can’t get over how much Pete Davidson and Margaret Qualley look alike[/video_embed]This weekend's episode of SNL was particularly special for us up north, as Stratford’s own Justin Bieber made his return to the Studio 8H stage a decade after his last appearance, something he was quick to point out on Twitter. The Biebs performed his two latest tracks “Yummy” and “Intentions,” the latter of which just dropped last week to massive fanfare, and the performances were so good, we cannot help but stan.During “Yummy,” the Biebs looked comfortable up on stage, and by "comfortable," we mean "like he was in his own living room"—the man was wearing sweat pants. Then, during his performance of “Intentions,” he went all-out with Kanye-levels of production. Wicked dancers! Trippy fluorescent lights! Illuminated back-drop! Lyrics splashed across the stage! Oh and look, Toronto gets a shout-out with a lyric referencing NBA champions Toronto Raptors. Guess we can thank Drake and Shawn Mendes for making Toronto music references a thing.[video_embed id='1896513']BEFORE YOU GO: All the fierce fashion from the 2020 Oscars[/video_embed]
