Things are starting to get nauseating for young Lana Del Rey (and frankly it’s getting funny for the rest of us) as the swirling commentary continues over her performance on Saturday Night Live last week.  Things really got heated up when NBC Anchor Brian Williams publicly ripped Del Rey’s performance in an email to Gawker.

“Brooklyn hippster Lana Del Rey had one of the worst outings in SNL history last night — booked on the strength of her TWO SONG web EP, the least-experienced musical guest in the show’s history, for starters,”

This has led to endless web chatter about the future of the “over-produced” buzz babe.  The funniest I have found was the compilation of tips that tweeters gave to Brooklyn blogger Carles from Hipster Runoff when he pined, “How can #LDR (Lana Del Rey) save her career?  The potential tips for the breathy, “gangsta Nancy Sinatra” are pricelessly funny.  Check them out below.  There is one that is missing from the Nashville front… “Sign with Third Man Records and marry Jack White.”  I mean, he likes hot red heads, right?
