Top Secret Details of Justin Bieber’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ Stint Revealed!

Justin Bieber is on lock down inside 30 Rockefeller Plaza, getting ready for his hosting and musical guest duties for this weekend’s “Saturday Night Live,” but a few details have started to emerge about what fans can expect.

This reporting, of course, comes with a caveat – “SNL” constantly makes changes right up until each episode’s live broadcast. Even what the dress rehearsal audience sees just before the actual show can be significantly different than what actually airs.

Here’s what omg! knows so far though. Bieber's opening monologue will be Valentine's Day themed. No word yet on if he’s singing it, or speaking it, but expect it to deal with themes of love.

For his performances, Biebs is doing the normal count of two songs. The first is “As Long As You Love Me,” and the second is the new track “Nothing Like Us.” The latter choice is interesting because it’s his new breakup song about his relationship with Selena Gomez, one of three new tracks from his new Believe Acoustic album.

Jennifer Lawrence goes after Her Oscar Rivals on SNL but all it's for laughs

How to get the jump on your sister Oscar nominees? Host Saturday Night Live – and come out punching. 

That was Jennifer Lawrence's modus operandi this weekend, with the Silver Linings Playbook's Best Actress contender taking good-natured swipes at her competition during her silver-tongued opening monologue on the NBC comedy show. 

About Jessica Chastain, she said: "In Zero Dark Thirty you caught Bin Laden. So what? In Winter's Bone I caught a squirrel, and then ate it." 

Naomi Watts: You were in The Impossible. You know what else is impossible? You beating me on Oscar night." 

Quvenzhané Wallis, the 9-year-old nominee for Beasts of the Southern Wild: "You think you can beat me? [In best Gary Coleman voice] 'What you talkin' 'bout, Wallis?' Also, the Alphabet called. It wants its letters back." 

And Emmanuelle Riva, from the French film Amour: "An 85-year-old French lady. Um, yeah, I think I can take you."

Also in line for ribbing by the rest of the cast on the show, which featured The Lumineers as the musical guests, were disgraced athlete Lance Armstrong (played by Jason Sudeikis), reputed hoax victim Manti Te'o (Bobby Moynahan), outspoken Golden Globes honoree Jodie Foster (Kate McKinnon) and the scowling, Globes party-pooper Tommy Lee Jones (Bill Hader). 

Though not personally at the end of a satirical sharp stick, Lawrence did tip her hat to her Hunger Games persona Katniss Everdeen by participating in a mock Post-Hunger Games press conference. 

The running gag was how could Katniss go for Peeta (played by Taran Killam) because he's so short. The gamers were also asked if they used performance-enhancing drugs.
