Here’s Tom Cruise arriving at Kimmel yesterday. The fans certainly still love him, don’t they? Tom, obviously, wouldn’t answer any personal questions yesterday at the premiere. Amazingly he didn’t take his shirt off either. Kimmel couldn’t make him do it. Instead, Kimmel asked him to be Tom Cruise. Full Story

Did you see Jimmy Kimmel Sucks hosted by Matt Damon last night? I was Nyquiled so I only watched this morning, in bits and pieces because the entire show is geo-blocked and YouTube has the individual segments spliced up. Heads up Americans, before you send a recommendation, Hulu is geo-blocked too. Full Story

Last night was Jimmy Kimmel’s first show in the 11:30pm time slot, going head to head with Jay Leno who he’s been trashing up and down for a while. Jay had Emma Stone on so Jimmy called up a friend to help him start this ratings war off proper: Jennifer Aniston. She’s a good friend. Full Story

But first... Justin Theroux packs light. He’s still hardcore like that, you know? Even though he’s dating Jennifer Aniston and they’re spending the holidays at a luxury resort in Cabo, hosting friends like Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, Jimmy Kimmel and his fiancée Molly, all Justin really needs is a piece of paper and a pen, maybe a cup of coffee in a dark corner with his bike parked outside, so he can ride away with his thoughts at any moment, far from Hollywood, and he wouldn’t look back. Full Story

As expected Mad Men received the most nominations: 17. But American Horror Story also received 17. Really??? What is it with industry people and Ryan Murphy anyway? It’s awesome for Connie Britton, obviously. And still, even though I know I should be over it by now, if Connie Britton is to be associated with any show that receives 17 Emmy nominations in one year, it really should have been Friday Night Lights. Full Story

Emily Blunt and John Krasinski were spotted with Jimmy Kimmel and his girlfriend Molly at LAX. They were all getting on the same flight. Can we assume then that they’re off on holiday for New Year’s? At one point, accordingly to the photographer, all of them hit up the cash machine. Separately. Jimmy and Molly taking out money independently, it’s understandable. Full Story

It may be an unpopular sentiment but Steven Martin and Alec Baldwin worked for me. We laughed heartily in the press room. But they couldn’t save a show that was too long, poorly directed, and terribly produced. Enjoyed the 5 actor tribute to the Best Actor and Actress categories, it worked to build suspense, but that dumbass montage to horror with the mismatched music and the uneven pacing of the programme gave it an overall feeling of. Full Story

LOVE him. Yesterday he trashed AssTalking Heigl. Last night he was on Kimmel and told the funniest story about how he was rejected by Megan Fox. It was his first time on the show back in 2007. Same goes for Megan. And she was nervous so she came into the dressing room to ask him to stay on the couch and he said yes but when he went to greet her with a kiss… Well… You watch for yourself. Full Story

So Kimmel is allowed to call him an “actor” but Jian Ghomeshi, a Canadian, no way. That’s the standard. Here’s the thing – Jian introduced him for context as an actor. Period. But Billy Bob Thornton justified his douchebaggery on CBC radio last night by explaining that he was promised that he would not be asked about his “acting”. Full Story

Explains why Taupe Jennifer Garner is so taupe. Turns out she was storing. Saving up everything interesting, all personality and charisma, for her daughter Violet. Violet is not Taupe. Even from the pictures you can see it: Violet is spicy. Violet is my favourite. Have always said that Violet is my favourite. Full Story

He did last night. He touched 45 heads. On Jimmy Kimmel live. Oh Jimmy. I love you. Did you watch? His teeth! They’re so white! So Jimmy has this competition where he faces off against his guest – who can touch the most heads in 30 seconds? Needless to say, Tom Cruise was very, very good at head touching. Full Story

SNL’s mistake was giving him too much to say. The key to Michael Phelps is to shut his mouth, take off his clothes, and focus on everything below the head. The Emmy pre-show hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, learning from Lorne’s mistakes, did just that, using the Olympian wisely, leaving the talking to the professionals and finally forcing him to not wear flipflops for a change. Full Story

Have received emails from many of you re: Ben Affleck’s absence at the Oscars but there really is nothing smutty to report. And even if there was, do you really think Taupe would let that go? Since marrying Ben and birthing Violet, ingratiating herself to the Mommy Majority, Jennifer Garner’s career is hotter than ever. Full Story

Matt and Luciana leaving a party at FELT in Boston last night celebrating the premiere of Gone Baby Gone. Sweet, non? Matt and Ben are truly, truly buds. And they haul ass for each other. At TIFF, it was Ben doing his part for Matt. Right now it’s Matt returning the favour for his boy. Matt said last night that he’s seen Gone Baby Gone 10 times: "[Directing] is really huge for Ben. Full Story
