Even though the Jimmy Kimmel Live Studios are a block away from Madame Tussauds Hollywood, he did not get a wax statue until today.
Before it made its debut in the museum, Kimmel tested it out in his office. Did his co-workers believe it was him, or did they know it was a fake? Considering how they were all scared by it, I think we have our answer. Which makes you wonder what does he do to them that makes them so afraid of the ABC host?
At least, his cousin Micky has an excuse, he has been playing pranks on her and her mother, Aunt Chippy, all of his life. Hopefully, Aunt Chippy will scold her nephew for the way he keeps terrifying her daughter. He is so mean to her. Poor Cousin Micky!
Roxette’s Marie Fredriksson passed away yesterday at the age of 61 after a 17-year-long battle with cancer.
In 1984, Fredriksson began her career in Sweden as a solo artist and had great success. Two years after that, she released her first album with Per Gessle and Roxette was born. The duo dominated the international charts in the early ’90s with songs like The Look, Listen To Your Heart, It Must Have Been Love, Joyride and Dangerous.
In 2002, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. The treatment, even though successful, took its toll on her in. However, in 2009, she did not let the sickness win; Roxette hit the road and released some new music. Sadly in 2016, doctors told she needed to give up touring and focus on her health. Something she did until yesterday.
Her bandmate and friend of 40 years, said this about her, “Thank you, Marie, thanks for everything. You were an outstanding musician, a master of the voice, an amazing performer. Thanks for painting my black and white songs in the most beautiful colors.”
She is survived by her husband Mikael Bolyos and their two children Josefin and Oscar. Today, let’s keep her spirit alive by listening to Roxette’s songs. The ballads will remind you of love and the pop songs will make you smile as you remember her beautiful voice.
Kristin Chenoweth is one of the tiniest people in Hollywood. However, it turns out that her biological dad is a giant. She told Larry King that she recently learned more about her birth dad and he is actually 6’4″. She got her short genes from her mom, who is 5′ tall.
While she did not get her height from her dad, she did get her musical ability from him. Turns out her “birth father, [is] a major musician, a guitarist, a pianist, perfect pitch.”
Out of the things she got from him, I think she got the better end of the DNA stick. She is a star because of it.

Before Jimmy Smits was partnered with Dennis Franz on NYPD Blue, he was Don Johnson’s first partner on Miami Vice. Don’t you just love the 29-year-old’s smile before he was blown the smithereens in that 1984 episode?
