Angelina Jolie voices her concern about freedom of speech in the US amid Jimmy Kimmel suspension

<p>Late-night comedy hosts took jabs at US President Donald Trump a day after Jimmy Kimmel’s show was suspended following his comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. ABC pulled the plug on Kimmel’s show on Wednesday following his remarks on Monday and Tuesday’s episodes about Kirk’s assassination. In a show of solidarity, several late-night comedy hosts like Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, and Jon Stewart took to their own shows to react to the move, mocking the US President, who had celebrated the suspension.&nbsp;</p><h2>‘How dare you, sir!’</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Jon Stewart returned to The Daily Show and claimed that the program was ‘government-approved’. He referred to Trump as ‘Our Great Father’ and ‘Dear Leader’ and even joked about Trump’s recent visit to the United Kingdom. Stewart played a clip of a reporter’s question about Kimmel and whether free speech was under attack in America.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“How dare you, sir!

‘Everything ain’t for everybody,’ Diddy warns Justin Bieber on Jimmy Kimmel’s show

<p>Jimmy Kimmel is returning to host the Oscar Awards for the third time. Kimmel took to Instagram to share the news with a parody video on Tuesday. Kimmel's announcement video had the comedian taking on Tom Cruise's spot in a <em>Top Gun: Maverick</em>-themed parody video. He had Jon Hamm, Parnell, and Billy Crystal for company.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The video has Kimmel enacting one of the early scenes of <em>Top Gun: Maverick</em> where Cruise's character was briefed about his new mission by Hamm and Parnell. The new promo instead has the two actors briefing Kimmel about his hosting duties. Kimmel is also hilariously reminded that he was not their first or second or even the eleventh choice for the job and they were only giving him the last as a last resort.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Kimmel then goes on to explain how he plans to host the three-hour-long ceremony that aims to celebrate the best of cinema in 2022 even as Hamm and Parnell regret their decision.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The video ends hilariously with Billy Crystal making an appearance and speaking for Kimmel.&nbsp;</p>

Jimmy Kimmel is returning to host the Oscar Awards for the third time. Kimmel took to Instagram to share the news with a parody video on Tuesday. Kimmel's announcement video had the comedian taking on Tom Cruise's spot in a Top Gun: Maverick-themed parody video. He had Jon Hamm, Parnell, and Billy Crystal for company. The video has Kimmel enacting one of the early scenes of Top Gun: Maverick where Cruise's character was briefed about his new mission by Hamm and Parnell. The new promo instead has the two actors briefing Kimmel about his hosting duties. Kimmel is also hilariously reminded that he was not their first or second or even the eleventh choice for the job and they were only giving him the last as a last resort. Kimmel then goes on to explain how he plans to host the three-hour-long ceremony that aims to celebrate the best of cinema in 2022 even as Hamm and Parnell regret their decision. The video ends hilariously with Billy Crystal making an appearance and speaking for Kimmel.

Jimmy Kimmel cracks up audience as he takes a dig at Kanye West-Pete Davidson feud

<p>American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish recently called out Jimmy Kimmel during an appearance on his show for making her look bad the last time she was on in 2019.<br />
<br />
According to Fox News, the singer joined the late-night host on Wednesday to promote her new album, 'Happier Than Ever', which gave her an opportunity to address the previous interview she did at 17.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-%E2%80%98succession%E2%80%99-returns-with-no-real-people-involved-420985" hreflang="en">‘Succession’ Returns, with no real people involved</a></p>

<p>Back then, because she was so young, Kimmel decided to ask her some questions about things that were popular when the host was her age in 1984. Eilish was pretty stumped when it came to knowing things like Run-DMC, Huey Lewis, Cabbage Patch Kids and more. Kimmel particularly noted that she made him feel old for not being able to name a single member of Van Halen, prompting a response from bassist, Wolfgang Van Halen, who let her off the hook, according to E! News.<br />
<br />
During her latest appearance, Eilish couldn't help but bring up the viral moment in an effort to put Kimmel on blast. "Wait, really quick," Eilish said while smiling. She added, "Do you remember the last time I was here?" When Jimmy confirmed that he did, she continued, "And you made me look a little stupid."</p>

<p>"Well, yeah, accidentally. I didn`t do it on purpose," a flustered Kimmel replied.<br />
<br />
Fortunately, Eilish revealed that she found the situation funny at the time, regardless of what people said about her online afterwards. "I thought it was funny because I was playing along, and everybody thought I was actually serious and didn`t know anything," she said before admitting that she genuinely had no clue who Van Halen was at the time.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Eilish failed to get her revenge after declaring that she planned to ask Kimmel a few current pop culture questions that only a Gen Z person would get. Unfortunately, she was on the spot and couldn`t really think of any good ones at the moment. Instead, they moved on to a segment that allowed her to get her revenge properly.<br />
<br />
Kimmel revealed that he had a copy of a bucket list the young singer wrote when she was 12 years old in 2014. While she had achieved some of the items already, such as "meet Justin Bieber" and "Zipline over a city," others were perfect for Kimmel to help her out with such as cutting an audience member`s hair.<br />
<br />
The best one, though, was the list item "punch someone." Kimmel joked, "I think you should punch me because I`m probably the strongest person here. Hit me as hard as you want in the stomach."As per Fox News, with that, Eilish wound up and struck the host in the tummy. Fortunately, he seemed to take the blow without much damage. Still, it allowed Eilish to get some payback for her last interview on his show.&nbsp;</p>

While she had achieved some of the items already, such as "meet Justin Bieber" and "Zipline over a city," others were perfect for Kimmel to help her out with such as cutting an audience member`s hair. The best one, though, was the list item "punch someone." Kimmel joked, "I think you should punch me because I`m probably the strongest person here. Hit me as hard as you want in the stomach."As per Fox News, with that, Eilish wound up and struck the host in the tummy. Fortunately, he seemed to take the blow without much damage. Still, it allowed Eilish to get some payback for her last interview on his show.

Jimmy Kimmel Live! to have 'Coronaversary Show' in upcoming special

<p>American singer-songwriter Miley Cyrus appeared on `Jimmy Kimmel Live!` on Tuesday (local time) and learned a little something about herself: The number of tattoos on her body.<br />
<br />
According to Fox News, since the 28-year-old songstress left her days on Disney Channel behind, Cyrus has become known for her unabashed approach to style, which includes her tattoos.<br />
<br />
When playing a game of Miley Cyrus-based trivia with a superfan, she was asked how many tattoos she has. The fan incorrectly guessed 27 before Cyrus said, "I have no idea."How do we know this and you don`t?" Kimmel asked."Because you, probably, are much more coherent when I am getting these tattoos than I am," the `Midnight Sky` singer explained.<br />
<br />
The late-night host then revealed that Cyrus has 74 tattoos on her body, causing her jaw to drop." Huh?" she exclaimed. Her tattoos came up earlier in the game when Cyrus and her fan were asked what is inked onto her ribcage. The `Plastic Hearts` singer explained that she has a dreamcatcher tattooed on her side before giving the audience a brief glimpse.<br />
<br />
During her visit to the show, the star also addressed another now-iconic look of hers, revealing that her mullet came about because she had no other choice."All of us have had to adjust [to the pandemic], a lot of things shutting down, keeping up from doing our standard routines, which one of them was going to get a haircut for me," Cyrus shared.<br />
<br />
When her bangs began to get too long, Cyrus turned to her mother, Tish. Miley recalled, "She said, `Well, I can cut your hair but I only know how to do one hairstyle and I`ve been doing it since 1992 for your dad and for your brothers. All my mom can do is a mullet, so I had one option and I needed it."<br />
<br />
As reported by Fox News, Cyrus` father, Billy Ray Cyrus, became known for his mullet during the height of his country music career. The `Party In The USA` crooner joked, "I think there is something genetically where [our hair] just kind of grows naturally shorter up top and longer in the back. That`s just kind of a natural shape that our hair grows in."</p>

<p>Simulated wireless alert tones used in a 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!'&nbsp;skit making fun of a presidential alert test have cost Walt Disney Co’s ABC $395,000 in civil fines with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission.</p>

<p>AMC Networks separately on Thursday agreed to pay a $104,000 fine for using an alert tone in a February 2019 episode of the 'The Walking Dead.'&nbsp;The commission handed down smaller fines to Discovery’s Animal Planet and Meruelo Radio Holdings for other violations.</p>

<p>The use of an emergency alert system or wireless emergency alert tones are barred by FCC rules “to avoid confusion when the tones are used, alert fatigue among listeners, and false activation of the system by the operative data elements contained in the alert tones,” the agency said.</p>

<p>Discovery agreed to pay a $68,000 civil penalty because during an episode of Animal Planet’s 'Lone Star Law'&nbsp;contained an actual wireless emergency alert tone. The crew was filming Texas Game Wardens following Hurricane Harvey and caught the tone of a real wireless alert received by phones during filming.</p>

<p>Meruelo paid $67,000 for broadcasting a simulated signal in a promotion for its morning show on southern California-based radio stations KDAY and KDEY-FM.</p>

<p>AMC, Discovery and Meruelo did not immediately comment</p>

<p>ABC said in a statement it takes “regulatory compliance seriously and we are pleased to have resolved this issue.” In its consent decree with the FCC, it admitted it did broadcast the tones “in the absence of an actual emergency” or authorized test in an Oct. 3, 2018 broadcast.</p>

<p>The late-night comedy show used a simulated wireless emergency alert tone three times during a sketch regarding the nationwide presidential wireless emergency alert test that took place that day.</p>

<p>ABC told the FCC the tones were improperly included in the episode because a “misunderstanding that the use of the tone was permissible.” The FCC said ABC took steps to remove the portion of the episode containing the tones from its website and other online streaming sites, and decided not to rebroadcast the episode.</p>

<p>The Federal Emergency Management Agency in October 2018 sent presidential wireless alerts to millions of mobile phones that triggered a loud tone, a special vibration and a message reading: “THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed.”</p>

<p>Government officials told reporters in 2018 President Donald Trump would not personally trigger the alert - from his phone or any other device - and emphasised that no president could “wake up one morning and attempt to send a personal message."</p>

<p>Rami Malek may have won the Best actor trophy at the recent Golden Globe Awards for his performance in 'Bohemian Rhapsody', but the actor's awkward moment on stage with Nicole Kidman is being discussed far more on the internet.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The incident happened when the 37-year-old actor was at the stage with the rest of the 'Bohemian Rhapsody' cast and crew to collect the award for Best Picture - Drama trophy.<br />
<br />
In the video of the incident, which has since gone viral, Malek was seen moving to greet Kidman, who had presented the award. Kidman, unaware that he was trying to catch her attention, turned her back, leaving the actor standing awkwardly behind her.<br />
<br />
Appearing on the 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', Malek recalled the incident, joking it will haunt him for the rest of his life.<br />
<br />
"I had not seen that," Rami said after the host twice played the video to further embarrass the actor.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"I've known her for many years, despite what it may seem in that video, so I thought I could easily go up and say hi but in a moment like that... It was very awkward. I have a feel this is probably haunting me on the internet now," he added.</p>
