Billie Eilish Called Jimmy Kimmel Out For Making Her Look Stupid In A Previous Interview
Almost two years ago, a then-17-year-old Billie Eilish made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Jimmy Kimmel, then 52, insisted on quizzing Billie about pop culture moments from 1984, the year he was seventeen. During the quiz Billie revealed she didn’t know who Van Halen was, the audience laughed, and later she joked “You’re makin’ me look so dumb.” The moment went viral. A couple of weeks later Billie won an award, and during her acceptance speech she lightly shaded Jimmy with: “Thank you for not making me look stupid, like everybody else wants to do on TV.”
Last night Billie returned to Jimmy Kimmel Live for the first time since 2019, and she called out Jimmy for the Van Halen incident. She asked if he remembered the last time she was on the show when he made her look “a little stupid.” Jimmy started to defend himself, but Billie assured him that she actually thought it was funny. Then Billie turned the tables on Jimmy and tried to quiz him on Gen-Z shit. After failing one question, Jimmy quickly cut to commercial. I guess he was desperate to empty out his geriatric bladder.
The My Pillow Guy Appeared On “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
Remember a couple of months ago when that other guy was president? Yeah, me neither but apparently the other guy’s ride-or-die (the one whose home and office were not just raided by the feds), purveyor of fine pillows and bat-shit conspiracy theories, Mike Lindell, AKA the My Pillow guy, appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night and it went about as well as you’d expect. Against the advice of just about everybody, Jimmy welcomed Mike on the show perhaps in an attempt to highlight the long term effects of crack cocaine on the human brain. Did Jimmy forget that Nancy Reagan already took care of this issue? Like Nancy (and Jane Krakowski) said, #JustSayNoToCrackpots.
Dr. Fauci And JoJo Siwa Are Equally Influential According To The Time 100
There’s no greater honor (for a publicist) than landing a spot on the Time 100, Time Magazine’s publicist prom. Induction into the Time 100 comes with a fancy photo-shoot (for some) and a seemingly randomly assigned essay extolling the winner’s virtue. Ergo, Jimmy Kimmel was selected to write about this year’s cover boy for the Leaders category, Dr. Anthony Fauci when Dr. Phil would obviously have been a better choice. You know, Dr. to Dr. Sometimes it makes a little sense, like Marlon Brando Jr., Leonardo DiCaprio, honoring Indigenous activist Nemonte Nenquimo who has worked to protect rainforests in the Ecuadorian Amazon, even though she’s way too old to fuck at 33. But then you have Kim Kardashian West waxing poetic about JoJo Siwa and you think to yourself, is it too early to start drinking?
Jennifer Aniston Saved The 2020 Emmy Awards From Going Up In Flames, Literally
The 2020 Primetime Emmy Awards happened last night and it was hosted by Jimmy Kimmel who performed in front of like, three camera operators and a producer. There were cardboard cutouts instead of humans in the audience. Even though that sounds like a late-night TV host’s idea of Hell on Earth, Jimmy still put in the effort for all three hours.
To lighten up this year’s bleak circumstances for the isolated ceremony, Jimmy brought out a few people to help present awards, like his good pal Jennifer Aniston, who helped save him from a trashcan fire. A fitting, if not accidental, metaphor for the year so far. She also popped up in a mini Friends reunion, which was surely a nice little distraction for those who can say it hasn’t been their day, their week, their month, or even their year.
The Emmys Will Be Handed Out By Presenters In Hazmat Tuxedo Suits
Basically, this year has been an exercise in just keeping it together. Most of us have spent the last six months lying on the couch, pants-less, with Cheetos in our hair. So, for anybody hoping to catch a glimpse of some much-needed GLAMOUR from our biggest TV stars, you are probably out of luck because this year’s all-virtual Emmy Awards––slated to be, as host Jimmy Kimmel describes, like no other––is going to feature presenters in full-blown hazmat suits. Naomi Campbell’s influence continues!
The “Fast Times At Ridgemont High” Reading Gave Us A Jerk-Off Scene Featuring Brad Pitt And Jennifer Aniston
The dreams of any remaining TEAM ANISTON t-shirt owners had already come true last month when it was reported that Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt would reunite for a live at-home reading of Fast Times at Ridgemont High. As promised, Jen and Brad reunited last night on Zoom for the Fast Times reading, to benefit Sean Penn’s CORE charity. And Brad and Jen must have been feeling extra charitable because they gave everyone at home an image for the ages by recreating the Phoebe Cates/Judge Reinhold jerk-off scene.
