    Aug 28, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Amber Riley will perform a tribute to her late “Glee” co-star Naya Rivera on Thursday’s (27Aug20) episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”.
    The actress/singer will take to the stage to remember Naya, who died in a tragic boating accident in July.
    “Our queen is singing for our other queen,” her former “Glee” co-star Kevin McHale tweeted alongside a poster advertising the performance by Riley – Amber’s artist name. “Thankful for @MsAmberPRiley always. She’s the strongest. Can’t wait to watch.”
    Amber also teased that a “special announcement” will also be made on Kimmel, after earlier tweeting about her plans to drop a new project in the coming weeks.
    “I’m an INDEPENDENT artist, who funded and executive produced her own EP and visuals. I’m my own boss, my own decision maker, and my own marketing team. I WISH I had the power a major machine behind me would to get things out quicker, but I don’t…,” she wrote.
    “But what I do have is ownership of my s**t. I’m no slave, I own my masters. the project is coming, because this time, no one can tell me know (sic). So…stay tuned and get ready. This music is playin NO GAMES. I came with a vocal and a pen ready to slay the girls. Humbly.”

      The host of ABC’s late-night talk show host fires back when one online follower says women aren’t funny following the ‘Future Nostalgia’ star’s recent guest-hosting gig.
      Aug 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – U.S. late night TV host Jimmy Kimmel jumped to the defence of his stand-in Dua Lipa against trolls on social media.
      Earlier this week, the 52-year-old took to Instagram to share the monologue Lipa performed while guest hosting “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” amid his summer hiatus.
      The “Future Nostalgia” star, 24, joked about her music, her previous prank against Kimmel, her Harry Potter house, and her tattoos during the monologue – but one fan was less-than-impressed.

      “Women still aren’t funny,” the troll wrote.
      Firing back, Kimmel quipped, “Maybe if one talks to you someday you’ll change your mind.”
      During her guest hosting duties, Lipa made headlines for mistakenly referring to Blake Shelton as Gwen Stefani’s husband.
      “Well he’s not my husband, but that sounded cool when you said it,” Stefani joked as the “Physical” hitmaker brushed off the error.

      Jimmy Kimmel Apologizes for Blackface Sketch, Insists Hiatus Has Nothing to Do With Controversy

      The ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ host calls the sketch ’embarrassing’ but he refuses to be ‘bullied into silence by those who feign outrage to advance their oppressive and genuinely racist agendas.’
      Jun 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Jimmy Kimmel has followed fellow U.S. late-night host Jimmy Fallon’s lead and apologised for a blackface TV skit.
      The comedian impersonated black basketball star Karl Malone on Comedy Central’s “The Man Show”, which aired from 1999 to 2003.
      The “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host admitted he had been “reluctant” to address the sketch, explaining, “I knew doing so would be celebrated as a victory by those who equate apologies with weakness and cheer for leaders who use prejudice to divide us.”
      “That delay was a mistake,” Kimmel added in a statement. “There is nothing more important to me than your respect, and I apologize to those who were genuinely hurt or offended by the makeup I wore or the words I spoke.”
      The funnyman went on to explain he often impersonated Malone on TV and radio, but “never considered that this might be seen as anything other than an imitation of a fellow human being, one that had no more to do with Karl’s skin color than it did his bulging muscles and bald head.”
      Kimmel continues, “I’ve done dozens of impressions of famous people, including Snoop Dogg, Oprah, Eminem… and many others. In each case, I thought of them as impersonations of celebrities and nothing more. Looking back, many of these sketches are embarrassing, and it is frustrating that these thoughtless moments have become a weapon used by some to diminish my criticisms of social and other injustices.”
      “I believe that I have evolved and matured over the last twenty-plus years, and I hope that is evident to anyone who watches my show. I know that this will not be the last I hear of this and that it will be used again to try to quiet me. I love this country too much to allow that. I won’t be bullied into silence by those who feign outrage to advance their oppressive and genuinely racist agendas.”
      Kimmel’s apology comes after he announced plans to take the summer off to spend “even more time with my family.” He insists his vacation has nothing to do with the blackface drama, “My summer vacation has been planned for more than a year and includes the next two summers off as well. I will be back to work in September. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to explain and to those I’ve disappointed, I am sorry.”
      “The Tonight Show” host Fallon previously apologised for a blackface sketch on “Saturday Night Live” 20 years ago, in which he impersonated comedian Chris Rock.

      Matt Damon Crashes Jimmy Kimmel's Announcement of His Summer TV Break

      by

      ABC

      The two frenemies continue their funny back-and-forth in the Thursday episode before the host is baffled when he sees his wife Molly slipping out of the guest room in a robe.
      Jun 20, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Jimmy Kimmel is taking a break from TV during this summer. The late night TV host made the announcement in the Thursday, June 18 episode of his show “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, saying that Friday would mark the beginning of his summer break.
      “Tonight is my last new show of the summer. I’m taking the summer off to spend even more time with my family. I’ve been doing this job for almost 18 years, I’ve done 3,130 shows and there’s nothing wrong my family is healthy. I’m healthy. I just need a couple of months off,” Jimmy shared.
      “While I’m gone, a cavalcade of capable people will be filling in for me,” the 52-year-old TV personality added. That was when his frenemy Matt Damon surprisingly emerged from a bedroom in Kimmel’s house wearing a robe and a mask, drink in hand.
      Not being happy with the fact that Jimmy’s taking time off, “The Martian” actor said, “What am I gonna do? I haven’t been on (the show). I’ve been back here three months waiting to get on,” referring to their long-running gag of Matt waiting to get onto “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” every night.
      They continued their funny back-and-forth before Jimmy was baffled when he saw his wife Molly slipping out of the guest room in a robe. “Son of a b***h, you did it again,” Jimmy yelled at Matt.

      It remains to be seen how Jimmy is going to spend his break but he’s already has some gigs lined up when he’s back from his summer break. Recently, he was announced to be the host of the 2020 Emmy Awards in September.
      “I don’t know where we will do this or how we will do this or even why we are doing this, but we are doing it and I am hosting it,” Jimmy said in a statement considering the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to serve as the host, the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host is tapped to be an executive producer.
