Kelsey Grammer Speaks on "Magical" Night with Kayte Walsh

matt@iscribelimited.com (Hilton Hater) — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 08:11:43 EST

It hasn't exactly been a secret, but did Kelsey Grammer admit to cheating on Camille Grammer during a Jimmy Kimmel Live appearance last Wednesday night?

Asked by the host about wife Kayte Walsh and how they met, the actor said the event took place on "a plane to England" in December 2009, about six months before he split from Camille.

"It was very romantic," Kelsey said. "We went out for a coffee several days later and had a magical night in the snow around Christmas time, that was two years ago."

Kimmel followed up the story by saying Grammer's friends should have asked him if Walsh had a reality show because "that's not what you want," clearly a reference to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Camille's bashing of Kelsey on the air.

The actor feigned laughter and the conversation quickly moved on to another topic.

Kristen Stewart is about to give birth. On screen, that is. To a half-human/half-vampire baby. What was filming this key Breaking Dawn scene like?

“I was so excited, actually,” Stewart told Jimmy Kimmel on Friday about shooting this major Twilight Saga event. “It is so intense, as a normal birth would be, but this is even more so."

The actress - who will also star in Snow White and the Huntsman, a summer blockbuster whose first trailer you can view HERE - was also asked about the honor of having her hands and footprints cemented outside Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Watch her talk about that and other topics in the two videos below.

Taylor Lautner has faced down evil vampires and mean werewolves. He's also fought his way through a throng of screaming young women.

But on Jimmy Kimmel Live this week, the actor opened up about the most frightening creature of all: The Twi-Mom.

"There are teenage girls, but we also have separate divisions of fans, maybe even more passionate are Twi-moms," he said, detailing why with this story of a Twi-Mom who told him: "'I am wearing the Team Taylor panties right now. Is there any way I can get them off so you can sign them?' I would have done it, but security was like, there is like no way your panties are coming off, ma'am."

Jimmy Kimmel to Host White House Correspondents' Association Dinner

steve@thehollywoodgossip.com (Free Britney) — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 08:16:18 EST

The White House Correspondents' Association has a found a host for its 98th annual dinner next April 28, and it should be a good one: Jimmy Kimmel.

"I look forward to being a part of the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner," the host of ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live said. "I love dinner."

Attended by the President and First Lady, other senior government officials, members of the press corps and Hollywood A-listers, the event offers a rare chance to let loose in the buttoned-up, polarized and combative world of politics.

Case in point: Here's President Obama's speech at this year's:

It's not all for fun and laughs - it's for a very good cause, too.

Proceeds from the dinner go toward scholarships and awards aimed at supporting aspiring journalists and recognizing excellence in the profession.

"Jimmy's humor is sophisticated and edgy while appealing to a wide audience," said Reuters journalist Caren Bohan, president of the WHCA. "We are so thrilled that Jimmy has accepted our invitation to be the featured comedian at our annual dinner."

Seth Meyers was the MC at the 2011 event.

Shia LaBeouf made Selena Gomez's dreams come true during a recent meeting between the stars.

But the Transformers actor told Jimmy Kimmel last night that he doesn't need to worry about Justin Bieber's reaction to that encounter. Why? Bieber is "cool."

“He rolls with like a huge squad," Shia said of Justin. "He has this presence like Buddha. He’s like the young prince... I went up to him [at the MTV Movie Awards] to say hi and security was like, ‘Whoa, whoa.’ He was ready to take me down. Bieber just does this two finger wave, like, he’s okay. So he’s very cool. Bieber’s bomb."

Elsewhere in the interview, LaBeouf hyped his new movie and talked about his family. Alas, he didn't reiterate how he tagged Megan Fox.

Watch two more clips of LaBeouf and Kimmel below.
