Jimmy Kimmel Bashes Leno — Playground Bully?

Though I’m an adamant fan of both Howard Stern and Jimmy Kimmel, I’m officially putting a public stop to their Leno bashing. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Kimmel put a predictable hit out on Leno, saying, “As a comedian, you can’t not have disdain for what he’s done. He totally sold out. He was a master chef who opened a Burger King.”

I certainly take shots at celebrities I dislike, but that’s mostly driven by my inside knowledge about how they treat their staff. And my inside sources tell me Leno treats his staff with the utmost respect. Additionally, if it’s true that the guy sold out, then I’d like to scream “SO WHAT” from the rooftops. He’s employed a plethora of people, and if selling his soul includes telling schmaltzy jokes publicly while maintaining his comedic integrity during his stand-up gigs, then so be it. Lastly, I will once again reiterate that I do not hold Leno accountable during the NBC/Conan debacle. Conan pushed Leno out, and Leno fought to maintain his gig. Anyone in their right mind would do the same — including Kimmel. Have some tact.

Alanis Morissette Sings Chilling Rendition of Green Day’s “Basket Case”

Can’t Alanis Morissette just make cover albums for the rest of her life? She’s a magical performer with a unique voice, but her original material just isn’t good enough anymore. Either co-write with the best-of-the-best, or duplicate the Jimmy Kimmel performance for eternity. Watch her sing Green Day’s “Basket Case.”

Monsters Calling Home Performs on Jimmy Kimmel — CONGRATULATIONS

Monsters Calling Home 3. By Brian Kim:Daniel Chae

I discovered Monsters Calling Home shortly after they formed their band, and I’ve been following them around Los Angeles ever since. Upon first listen, I knew they’d be huge so I immediately requested an interview. Their lead singer, Alex Hwang, is incredibly kind and he seemed humbled by my declaration that they were on their way to super-stardom. Well — I was right. And if anyone from A&R would like to hire The Dishmaster, feel free. Watch the band perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and click HERE to listen to my audio interview with Alex.

Kiefer Sutherland on Jimmy Kimmel — Talks About River Phoenix

For some reason actors rarely talk about River Phoenix. There’s stories in Hollywood about very famous actors who were good friends with him, such as Johnny Depp, but no one ever mentions it. So I was happy and moved to hear Kiefer Sutherland recount what it was like to work with him on Stand By Me. Watch below.

Sandra Bullock Speaks German Mandarin at the Oscars — Who Knew?

Howard Stern recently met Sandra Bullock at Jimmy Kimmel’s party in Los Angeles, and he quoted Paul McCartney, saying, Jesse James “took [his] lucky break and broke it in two.” He said that because of how much he loved Bullock and how undeserving and lucky Jesse James was to have landed her in the first place, let alone letting her go. I’m posting her very funny Oscar bit below to prove Stern’s point. She sure is beautiful and funny. In fact, I’d like to marry her. I wonder if she’s willing.
