Katy Perry made a huge announcement on Jimmy Kimmel Live. No, she is not married to Orlando Bloom. No, they are not having another kid.
So what is it? She is planning on leaving American Idol after this season. But don’t tell Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan, or Ryan Seacrest because she hasn’t told them yet.
So what did she tell Kimmel? “You know, actually, this fall in September, I’m going to be doing this huge music festival in Brazil called Rock In Rio. It’s really exciting. It’s a big deal,” She said. “I think this probably will be my last show, my last season for Idol. I mean, I love Idol so much. It’s connected me with, like, the heart of America, but I feel like I need to go out and feel that pulse to my own beat.”
And talking about beats, she is in the studio working on new music, which will be her first new album since 2020’s lackluster Smile.
When it comes to her leaving, it is about time. The singing competition needs new blood.
After George Santos was expelled from Congress, he needed a way to make money. So, he started a Cameo account. And now he is making more money in a week with that than he did as a House Representative for the year.
It could be because Jimmy Kimmel paid for a lot of them to see if he would actually say the things the late host asked him to say.
And guess what he did. The first cameo was for Kimmel’s legally blind niece, who got her driver’s license. And the second was for a man who came out to his family as a Furry.
These are just two of the many Cameos that Kimmel has stockpiled. How many does he have? We will just have to keep watching Jimmy Kimmel Live to find out.
Oh, and did I mention that when Santos found out about Kimme’s evil plan, he demanded that Jimmy pay him $20,000 for a commercial fee? Let’s see Santos take him to court over that.
I think yesterday was a late night first. Jimmy Fallon, who hosts The Tonight Show on NBC, appeared on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live as a performer with Meghan Trainor to sing their song Wrap Me Up.
While hosts have appeared on a competitor’s show to be interviewed, I think this is the first time one has been a musical performer on a talk show that wasn’t theirs.
And I hope we see this more often. Although, that will be hard because Fallon is the one who sings. But maybe Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyer can do their standup on one of the other broadcast late night shows.
ABC and AMPAS announced today that Jimmy Kimmel will be back to host the Oscars for a fourth time on March 10th.
“After his triumphant return to the Oscars stage last year, we are honored to have Jimmy back to guide us through one of the most beloved celebrations in entertainment. He is such a valuable member of our Disney family, and we could not be more appreciative of him and his entire team,” said Craig Erwich, president of ABC Entertainment, Hulu and Disney Branded Television Streaming Originals. “We are also grateful to have the multitalented Molly back on the producing team, and we have no doubt that this year will be a spectacular night celebrating the biggest films of the year.”
I don’t know if I would want him back. Weird things happen when he does it. First, Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway announced that the wrong movie won Best Picture in 2017. Then, last year, Will Smith slapped Chris Rock? What is going to happen in 2024? Only time will tell.

Law & Order is getting ready to get back into production, but they are going to do it with one less detective. That is because TV Line reports that Jeffrey Donovan is leaving the series due to creative differences, aka he got a Burn Notice.
Producers are looking for a replacement for this season’s 13 episodes. I am sure there are a lot of New York actors who will jump at the chance. I hope they go with a female like Jill Hennessy.
Donovan is not the first actor to leave the show. His TV partner, Anthony Anderson, opted not to return for the second season of the revival.
Due to the strikes, broadcast television lost half a season. Therefore, not all of the shows will be airing in the first part of 2024. Deadline is reporting that 9-1-1: Lone Star’s 5th season will not debut until the Fall. And this season will only be 12 episodes.
Lone Star is not the only show Fox is moving. New dramas Doc and Rescue: Hi-Surf are also waiting to make their debuts. And I am sure these series will not be alone. CBS already announced that Matlock and Poppa’s House will also be delayed until next season.
