Oprah Winfrey was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and he wanted to clear up some of the rumors about her.
He wanted to know things like will her dogs inherit $30 million and whether they will be able to piss on her grave, which will be under an oak tree on her Montecito property. The dogs are not getting that much money. As for the oak tree, it fell down during a storm, so she needs a new place to spend eternity.
If you think that is wild, wait until you hear what she bought Stevie Wonder as a present for singing at her 50th birthday party. She got the blind singer a Mercedes Maybach. Knowing him, he probably has driven it for fun.
And the strangest rumor that you would never believe is true is that she keeps an octopus in her fridge almost all of the time. Why? Her boyfriend Steadman loves to eat it for breakfast every day.
He doesn’t eat the octopus alone. He eats it with okra. So, Kimmel told Oprah, “He loves things that start with O.” And she laughed harder than I ever heard laugh!
Now, back to her answers. The rich definitely live differently than us.
Lionel Richie released a documentary on Netflix called The Greatest Night in Pop about the making of We Are the World.
They share a lot of things we didn’t know about that night. For example, we learned that the producers had to choose between Madonna and Cyndi Lauper, and the boys just wanted to have fun with the latter girl. But they didn’t tell us why.
Yesterday, when the Commodore was on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the host asked him why. He explained, “Because we only had half a line to sing. Let me say this now, ‘A half a line!’ So we had to have voices that people knew right away.”
And let’s be honest, Cyndi’s voice is much more recognizable than Madonna’s. Plus, in 1985, both singers were equally as famous.
And Lauper almost thought she was too famous to do it. Richie shared with Kimmel that she told him at the American Music Awards, right before the recording, that her boyfriend didn’t think it was a hit. Thankfully, she didn’t listen to him because her half a line stood out.
And the rest is music history.
Oh, and Madonna was not the only one who missed out. Kimmel revealed that Eddie Murphy was invited. But opted not to sing along. And yes, he regrets it, as he should.
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.
