Jimmy Kimmel introduced the guest he’s always wanted on his show by saying, “Not only is my first guest tonight the main reason I got into television, he’s the main reason I got a television. He’s the host of the Late Show with David Letterman – I’m more excited that he’s here tonight than I’m able to explain.”
Kimmel, who’s pretty much a lifelong fan of Letterman, finally landed an interview with the late night icon. And Kimmel couldn’t keep his enthusiasm in check during the lengthy interview. He even showed off a photo of his 18th birthday cake with the words “L8 Nite” on it and displayed a photo of his Isuzu I-Mark from high school which also had “L8 Nite” as its personalized license plate.

As Pat, Bradley Cooper orders Raisin Bran because he thinks that means there will be no mistaking their meal together in a restaurant as a ‘date’. Jennifer Lawrence as Tiffany counters and says it can still be a date if you order Raisin Bran. The two go on to discuss Tiffany’s dancing thing, Pat’s restraining order, and the people Tiffany is having sex with at work in this new clip from Silver Linings Playbook.
The Plot:
Life doesn’t always go according to plan…Pat Solitano (Bradley Cooper) has lost everything — his house, his job, and his wife. He now finds himself living back with his mother (Jacki Weaver) and father (Robert DeNiro) after spending eight months in a state institution on a plea bargain. Pat is determined to rebuild his life, remain positive and reunite with his wife, despite the challenging circumstances of their separation. All Pat’s parents want is for him to get back on his feet – and to share their family’s obsession with the Philadelphia Eagles football team. When Pat meets Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence), a mysterious girl with problems of her own, things get complicated. Tiffany offers to help Pat reconnect with his wife, but only if he’ll do something very important for her in return. As their deal plays out, an unexpected bond begins to form between them, and silver linings appear in both of their lives.

Justin Bieber and Emma Stone Take Part in the 2012 HALO Awards
“Each year we continue to be inspired by young people giving of themselves and we are honored to give back to them,” stated Nick Cannon, creator of the awards. “We applaud these HALO honorees and their outstanding commitment to service on a local and national level.”
“The TeenNick HALO Awards started out as a concept Nick Cannon brought to us and it’s become a movement that has grown with every person it touches – the teens who serve others, the celebrities who honor them, the people whose lives they’ve impacted and the viewers who are left inspired,” said Paula Kaplan, Executive Vice President, Current Series, Nickelodeon. “We hope by celebrating teens each year with this show, it will motivate other teens to create positive changes in their communities.”
The TeenNick HALO Awards Winners:
Allyson Ahlstrom, 17, Santa Rosa, Calif. (paired with Tyra Banks) — A bubbly and fashion forward self-starter, Allyson Ahlstrom was inspired to combine her love of fashion and community service to create Threads for Teens, an organization that collects and distributes clothing to disadvantaged (low income, foster care, etc.) teen girls. She provides one-on-one support to every one of the girls as they shop, bonding over fashion, talking about their lives and sharing motivational advice. In just two years Ahlstrom moved her organization into a fashionable pink boutique, raised over $130,000 in product donations and outfitted over 200 girls. Ahlstrom’s HALO match, Tyra Banks, started TZONE at the Lower Eastside Girls Club, providing a rich mix of career development workshops, mentoring, experiential learning opportunities, financial literacy initiatives and community-wide events so hundreds of girls will build self-esteem and develop the tools they need to prepare for lives as entrepreneurs and change-makers in the world.
Matt Ferguson, 18, Hillsboro, Ore. (paired with Emma Stone) — Matt Ferguson was inspired to start Matt’s Chemo Bags after finding out his mom had been diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. He began building bags of essential items (lotion, tissues, warm socks, a handmade blanket, a lap pillow, notebook) to distribute to women suffering from breast cancer in hopes that it would bring them the same comfort that a similar bag brought his own mother as she went through chemotherapy. His organization now services all of Oregon, Southwest Washington, and Northern California and has distributed over 7,500 bags. Ferguson’s HALO match, Emma Stone, is an advocate for Stand Up To Cancer, an initiative created to accelerate innovative cancer research that will get new therapies to patients quickly and save lives now.
Kylie Lan Tumiatti, 16, West Melbourne, Fla. (paired with Justin Bieber) — Kylie Lan Tumiatti developed a passion for giving back to the community early on, after watching her younger sister struggle with learning English. Tumiatti decided to help others who faced similar obstacles and partnered with Operation Hope Florida, a non-profit facility that provides prekindergarten classes to children of migrant workers. Together they implemented a literacy program that enhances the language skills of young children while simultaneously instilling a love of stories and books. Tumiatti’s HALO match, Justin Bieber, is big supporter of Pencils of Promise, which works to build schools and increase educational opportunities in the developing world.
Taylor Waters, 19, Sanford, N.C. (paired with Josh Duhamel) — A compassionate leader and aspiring teacher, Taylor Waters belief in giving back to her community stems from her personal experiences with disaster. She continues to encourage youth involvement through her hometown American Red Cross and she is establishing her own Red Cross Club at East Carolina University. Waters’ HALO match is Josh Duhamel, who supports the disaster relief efforts of the American Red Cross, as well as his hometown’s Minot Area Community Foundation in North Dakota which establishes permanently endowed funds to support both local and national charities and charitable causes.

Jerseylicious Renewed for Season 5
Endemol USA is producing the 14 episode new season. Season four averaged 508,000 viewers and was Style’s number one show among women 18-49.
The Plot:
The complex, interwoven lives of these sassy stylists will feature new romances, opportunities and plenty of hair-raising drama. For four seasons, Jerseylicious fans have followed the tan-tastic rivalry between makeup artist Olivia and hair stylist Tracy who have fought over anything and everything from guys to friends, clients and clothes. Now, unusual circumstances have made them frenemies as they are involved in a highly-fueled feud with Gigi, who has shed her “good girl” image to be her own person, speaking her mind no matter who it hurts.
Meanwhile, Olivia contemplates returning to Anthony Robert Salon in a new role and using his salon as home base for her new company, which makes Tracy feel threatened – especially since her focus has shifted from her career to planning her new life with fiancé Corey. But her family’s disapproval of her relationship with Corey dampens Tracy’s enthusiasm for her upcoming wedding. As Gayle adjusts to the loss of Olivia at the Gatsby, Anthony, who is finally settled in his new salon space, looks for innovative ways to expand his business, including producing a book that is a retrospective on great moments in New Jersey history as depicted through hair and makeup styles. Also, salon manager Filippo pursues his dream career as an underwear model which could jeopardize his job with Anthony.

‘Glee’ Goes Gangnam Style
Darren Criss, Jenna Ushkowitz and Kevin McHale introduce this teaser video of rehearsal footage from an upcoming episode of Glee which features the cast performing Psy’s “Gangnam Style.” The episode with the catchy song won’t be airing until the end of November 2012, but at least Gleeks can get a brief look at what’s in store via this behind-the-scenes footage.
‘Sons of Anarchy’ Soundtrack Volume 2 Details
Columbia Records and FX are releasing Sons of Anarchy Songs of Anarchy: Vol. 2 on November 19, 2012 with the album’s first track being a never-before-heard recording of “Sympathy for the Devil” by Jane’s Addiction. And among the 13 tracks on the album is one by series star Katey Sagal who teams up with Sons of Anarchy‘s house band, The Forest Rangers, on “To Sir with Love.”
The Forest Rangers is made up of SOA music composer Bob Thiele, Greg Leisz (guitar/banjo), John Philip Shenale (keyboards), Lyle Workman (guitar), Dave Way (recording Engineer and Sergeant at Arms), Davey Faragher (bass), Brian Macleod (drums), and Velvet Revolver guitarist Dave Kushner.
“When Jane’s Addiction said they were into the idea of doing ‘Sympathy for the Devil’ for the show, we were completely blown away. This was made all the more sweet because theirs was the first and only door we knocked on. Jane’s Addiction is one of the few post 60’s/70’s, iconic bands that resonates with our show’s mythology. They have typified rebellion from their very beginnings. It seemed a natural fit between a band and a song with so many layers of meaning to the Sons of Anarchy narrative. I can proudly say that the end product speaks for itself. Working with them, as a band and as individuals, was an incredibly satisfying experience,” stated Thiele.
And for fans of Jane’s Addiction, be sure to check out Dave Navarro as he guest stars in the last two episodes of this season playing “a member of the Byz Lats gang with close ties to Nero (Jimmy Smits).”
Sons of Anarchy: Songs of Anarchy: Vol 2 Track List
1. Sympathy For The Devil – Jane’s Addiction

Hobbits, Elves, and Gollum Keep Flyers Safe
You know, if every safety procedures speech and video were as entertaining as this one, passengers might actually listen instead of tuning out. Air New Zealand has teamed up with The Hobbit to deliver an air safety video titled “An Unexpected Briefing” that’s filled with hobbits, elves, Gollum, Legolas, Aragorn (who puts a blowdryer to good use as he channels Viggo Mortensen’s sexiness), and Gandalf.
There’s even a surprise appearance by someone very, very familiar with the Hobbit universe, and descendants of author J.R.R Tolkien are included in the video.
Royd Tolkien, great-grandson of The Hobbit author J.R.R Tolkien, wears prosthetic hairy Hobbit feet for his part in the Air New Zealand video and says, “They’ve done a great job of capturing the essence of The Hobbit films and it was a privilege to be invited to participate.”
Air New Zealand General Manager Marketing and Communications Mike Tod calls the video a “further reflection of the world-class creative talents of New Zealanders.”
“This latest safety video inspired by The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is another example of how New Zealand is a hotbed for creative talent. Our partners at Weta Workshop and Weta Digital, which brought Gollum to life inside the aircraft, have helped us demonstrate again that if you want to engage with audiences in a unique way, our nation has immense creative capability,” stated Mr Tod.
“Sir Peter Jackson and the team at Warner Bros. Pictures in the United States were fantastically supportive during production of the video. To have Gollum step off the movie screen for the first time and into an Air New Zealand aircraft is incredibly special and Sir Peter Jackson delivers a superb cameo. He should come out from behind the camera more often!”
