Lonely Island recruit SNL buds Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, and Nicki Minaj for new album

by Nicole Villeneuve

Saturday Night Live Digital Short masterminds The Lonely Island are releasing a new album on May 10, and so far they’ve announced a pretty star-heavy list of guests, including Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, Akon, and Nicki Minaj—all of whom have appeared in SNL sketches—among others to be announced. This is great and everything but let’s get real with Timberlake for a second: this doesn’t count as a comeback. Hurry up, please.
