    Of that $44M, $14 million was raised during the hour-long telethon, ABC News reports, and $30 million donated in the following hours.

Jimmy Fallon shared that Albertsons Cos. and Merck would each give $1 million. Houston Rockets star Chris Paul said the NBA Players Association would donate $500,000 and match any professional basketball player’s donation up to $20,000.

  • 5 Worst Comedy Roasts Ever

    A good roast is practically irresistible: Everyone loves seeing a famous person teased mercilessly by equally famous peers. A bad roast, on the other hand, can be a cringe-fest, as the guest of honor bristles at an evening of poorly written jabs. These five roasts are the bottom of the barrel — the times where “funny and mean” turned to “sad and awkward” almost immediately.

    1. Justin Bieber

    “The Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber” is painful to watch, mostly because it feels like a rich kid’s birthday party where his parents have paid people to pretend they like him for a day. The roast was filled with an odd mix of celebrities (Martha Stewart, Snoop Dogg, Shaq) and celebrity hopefuls (Chris D’Elia, Pete Davidson, Jeff Ross) who mostly spent the evening making height jokes about roastmaster Kevin Hart.

    While the jabs pointed at Bieber didn’t hold anything back, the Biebs himself ruined the evening by closing with a speech that made it clear the event was a PR stunt ineptly designed to win back the public’s favor after months of highly publicized bad behavior. As Bieber intoned, “This was a moment for me to show people where I am at in my life right now. Right now I’m in a moment of change. As I said, I’ve done a lot of things I’m not proud of, but we’re turning a new leaf here,” the night became even less fun — exposed as a poorly thought-out stop on his apology tour.

    2. Pamela Anderson

    Comedy Central roast, believe it or not, was a charity event: The evening raised money for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), which was perhaps the only positive outcome of the whole night. It wasn’t just that the jokes retreaded the same territory over and over — half of them were about her appearance, the other half about her sex tape — it’s that the roast was nearly unwatchable thanks to Courtney Love, who spent the entire time intoxicated and writhing in her chair, pausing only to incoherently argue with her co-roasters or flash the audience. Despite all that, seeing the late Bea Arthur read aloud from Anderson’s autobiography remains a must-see clip to this day.

    3. Chevy Chase

    The best comedy roasts have one thing in common — a shared fondness for the person being roasted. That’s what’s fun about them: When Rob Reiner got roasted, it was obvious that everyone in the room actually loved him. The Friars Club roast of Chevy Chase, however, is cringe-inducing thanks to the obvious lack of respect from his peers. The most common joke topic of the night was Chase’s former drug addiction, and watching him squirm, and sometimes openly heckle, the presenters bordered on the tragic. Whether it was that Chevy Chase wasn’t “in on the joke,” or that the jokes seemed unnecessarily cruel to a man in the twilight of his fading career, this roast is one to be avoided. And unlike Chase’s film “Karate Dog,” his roast was never even released to DVD.

    4. David Hasselhoff

    David Hasselhoff‘s roast is the polar opposite of Chevy Chase’s — where Chase acted like a schoolyard kid getting bullied, the Hoff basked in the attention, making sure he was the one laughing loudest at every joke. The result was almost as creepy: It’s less fun for the audience when the person being roasted acts like they wrote all of the gags. Nonetheless, roasters Hulk Hogan, Jerry Springer, Lisa Lampanelli, and Whitney Cummings all took respectable shots in the Comedy Central event that ultimately amounted to new B-listers roasting an old B-lister.

    5. Charlie Sheen

    “The Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen” took place at the height of Two and a Half Men” and went on a national tour to talk to crowds about his escapades with porn stars. While the roasters’ jokes were dark, mean, and often hilarious (Jeff Ross’s jab, “If you’re winning, this must not be a child custody hearing” was particularly good), what made the roast rough overall was the overwhelming sense that the whole thing was enabling a man who was obviously in the midst of a personal crisis. As Sheen was proclaiming his own virtue, the public was watching him lose his TV role, custody of his children, and ultimately, his public relevance. Not that he minded: Despite the comics kicking him when he was down, at the end of the night, he still declared himself “winning.”

  • You Have to See Gary Oldman in This Soap Opera Based on Justin Bieber Lyrics

    Gary Oldman may never get the Oscar he so richly deserves — and it is too late now to say sorry that Leo got one first! — but Oldman should at least get an Emmy nomination for joining this fake Justin Bieber soap opera.

    “The Late Late Show with James Corden” just returned to the world of the deeply absurd, giving fans a five-minute soap opera scene starring Salma Hayek Pinault, Ray Romano, James Corden, and Gary Oldman, with the entire script coming from Justin Bieber songs. (Except for when Romano says some One Direction lyrics.)

    It’s glorious. Salma Hayek is the real star, with her character in a dramatic love square with Romano (also excellent), Corden, and Oldman. Oldman’s role is too small, but it’s just great to see such a serious thespian really emoting to Justin Bieber lyrics, and dismissing Hayek with the cruel JB cut, “My momma don’t like you — and she likes EVERYONE.”

  • Steve Harvey Is Sorry for That Amazing Miss Universe Flub: ‘I Feel Terrible’

    Oops! Last night’s Miss Universe pageant turned into a car crash you couldn’t turn away from, courtesy of a major mistake from host Steve Harvey. He read the name of the wrong winner, giving the title of Miss Universe to Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutiérrez, instead of Miss Philippines, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach.

    It was painful. It was embarrassing. And yet it was the first time we actually cared about a Miss Universe pageant. So instead of bragging, Donald Trump should be jealous.

    It wasn’t even a quick mistake! As you can see in the cringe-worthy video below, Miss Colombia had the crown and the sash and the cheers from her Colombian supporters for over a minute before Steve Harvey reappeared to say “OK, folks, I have to apologize…”
    He did a lot of apologizing after the Sunday night show. Poor Miss Colombia looked mortified, but Miss Philippines was confused and then looked unsure of how to behave — this is probably not how she pictured winning this pageant, as watched by millions around the world.

    Here’s how it played out:


    And here are some of the reactions and memes that immediately followed the gaffe (yes, even Justin Bieber made fun of him):

    It’s so sad but this is too funny had to post no disrespect

    A photo posted by Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) on


    Steve Harvey quickly apologized, but his initial apology misspelled both Colombia and Philippines so he deleted that and apologized again in a series of tweets:


    It sounds like it really was an honest mistake, but the upside is that many people who never cared about Miss Universe or knew it still existed DO care now, thanks to rubber-necking. And Steve Harvey has plenty of defenders online, pointing out that it was just a mistake and he shouldn’t get so much hate. So the only one to really lose was poor Miss Colombia. Sorry, girl!

  • Best of Late Night TV: Conan’s Star Wars Cold Open

    Conan Star Wars cold open
    YouTube

    Surprise! James Corden gifted the word yet another round of Carpool Karaoke, but this time it was Christmas themed. With appearances from One Direction, The Tonight Show,” Jimmy Fallon told the harrowing story of how his grandmother was run over by a reindeer. She had footmarks on her forehead and claw marks on her back, guys. No comment on what’s happening here, but this clip ends with #StarWarsRaps, so you definitely need to watch.

    “Jimmy Kimmel Live” put together the ultimate episode of “Lie Witness News,” asking people about events from 2015 that definitely didn’t happen. Like, at all. Do you remember President Obama taking time off to star in a “Transformers” movie? Because these people do.

    The cast of “Sisters” showed up on “Late Night” and proceeded to play with “Star Wars” action figures, one of which ended up down someone’s pants. If that’s not a motivator to watch, we don’t know what is.

    Best for last, y’all. Welcome to Conan’s “Star Wars” cold open, in which the entire late night crew play characters who were rejected from the new movie. This. Is. Everything.

    Speaking of super famous people who teenagers are completely obsessed with (not to be confused with potatoes), The Tonight Show” and got in on a super-secret handshake with Jimmy Fallon. It was…lengthy.

    Over on “Late Night,” Josh Hutcherson chatted about living with the cast of “The Hunger Games” in a hotel. Turns out they had an open door policy so you can imagine the hijinks than ensued, amirite?
    Meanwhile, something totally amazing happened on “The Late Late Show:” Byran Cranston performed with the Grown Man Boy Band, wearing a white suit and mohawk. All you need to know is that he sang the lyrics: “I’ll make love to you in my minivan.” Blessed.
    Finally, and also on “The Late Late Show,” Joseph Gordon-Levitt kissed James Corden on the mouth. It was beautiful, so please watch.

  • The First ‘Zoolander 2’ Trailer Is So Hot Right Now

    Magnum, baby! The first full “Zoolander 2” trailer is here, revealing Benedict Cumberbatch — sans eyebrows — as the new hottest male supermodel in the world. (No sh-t, Sherlock?) Justin Bieber and Penélope Cruz also co-star in the sequel to the 2001 cult classic.

    A ridiculously good-looking “Zoolander 2″ teaser was released back in August, but now we see the full extent of the plot and characters. Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson return as Derek Zoolander and Hansel (so hot right now. Hansel). In the 2016 sequel, the duo must go undercover to find out who is trying to kill the world’s most beautiful people, including Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato, Usher, Lenny Kravitz, and Miley Cyrus. (Apparently they just want to kill pop singers? Are we really mad?) All of the murdered celebs died doing Derek’s signature look.

    The trailer also shows the wonderfully strange Benedict Cumberbatch rocking an androgynous Tilda Swinton look, plus Will Ferrell returning as Mugatu (still torturing Todd for his lattes), and Penelope Cruz as an Interpol agent. As Hansel put it, “She’s hot. I trust her.” Sound reasoning!

    Watch the trailer, it is not lamé:


    “Zoolander 2,” directed by Ben Stiller, is set for a February 12th, 2016 release. Schedule your orange mocha frappuccino viewing parties now.

  • Best of Late Night TV: Jimmy Kimmel Reveals Sexiest Man Alive, Justin Bieber’s NASCAR Race, Conan in Armenia

    If you’re like us and value your sleep, you probably nodded off into your Ambien dreamland before the party started on post-prime time TV. Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered. Here’s the best of what happened last night on late night.

    Jimmy Kimmel had the honor, once again, of revealing People’s new Sexiest Man Alive. But first, Jimmy had the audience guess who it might be, hiding the man’s face and disguising his voice. The audience first learned that he was taping his spot from London, he has an “accent,” he has never been Sexiest Man Alive before, he’s married to a celebrity, he’s not an actor, he has kids, he has tattoos, and — the clincher — he used to be an athlete. After a guess of Nick Carter (?), someone finally asked if it’s David Beckham. And it was! David, 40, thanked his parents, his hairdresser, his stylist, and Photoshop for the honor. Jimmy asked if he had anything to say to the “gross, ugly losers like Matt Damon who are not Sexiest Man Alive?” David’s classy response: “Maybe next year.” Josh Hutcherson was also on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” to promote the last “Hunger Games” movie and he talked about being homeschooled. Turns out, he went to an “awkward” homeschool prom in Kentucky. Josh also recalled the fake ID Kimmel gave Josh when the young’un was first on the show at age 13. They showed a clip from that old appearance. Josh was so cute! Over on “The Tonight Show,” there was a four-way special NASCAR relay race outside in Rockefeller Plaza between Jimmy Fallon, Justin Bieber, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and The Roots’ Tariq. They each paired up with a driver competing in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship — Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick, Martin Truex Jr., and Kyle Busch. It was the coolest nighttime relay race through the Plaza, set to the sounds of girls screaming for Justin. JB won, so that just shows what happens when people Beliebe in you!
    Conan O’Brien is in Armenia, so watch him and his assistant Sona visit an Armenian marketplace. Conan proceeds to say a bunch of wrong things, to the delight of everyone. Watch more Armenia videos here. Stephen Colbert, a die-hard fan of Star Wars, has vowed to buy any and all Star Wars products on the market. He showed off his old Luke Skywalker soap belt kit and mocked the new Cover Girl ads. “The Forced marketing integration is strong with this one.”

  • Justin Bieber’s Selfie With Jennifer Aniston Makes 1.1 Million New ‘Friends’

    Could this BE more random? “Friends” everyone just assumes they can join your squad.

    JB posted this black-and-white photo with the “Friends” alum about 14 hours ago, and it already has more than 1.1 million likes:

    A photo posted by Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) on


    That’s a lot of likes (so far), but not the most on Bieber’s Instagram and still nowhere near the more than 3.2 million record-breaking “likes” Kendall Jenner got for this hair pic. Not that it’s a competition. But seriously. Jennifer Aniston must defeat the Kardashians. It is her density destiny.

    As”The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” which is celebrating Bieber Week and yes that’s a thing. “Ellen” is also celebrating its 2,000th show today, and Jen was one of the many celeb guests. Justin Timberlake was also in the house but, so far, only Jen has had the honor of seeing her pic blasted out to the gazillions of Beliebers. There’s no caption, so it’s … well, it’s waiting for fan captions, maybe, so consider writing your own story for this occasion. From here, it looks like the perfect time to bring in Phoebe for a group rendition of “Smelly Cat.”

  • Best of Late Night TV: Justin Bieber Explains Why He Cried at VMAs, Amanda Peet Wants a Divorce Over Jon Snow

    If you’re like us and value your sleep, you probably nodded off into your Ambien dreamland before the party started on post-prime time TV. Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered. Here’s the best of what happened last night on late night.

    “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” Wednesday night, and he owned up to some of his past bad behavior, when he had “a bunch of knuckleheads” around him. He also explained why he had that emotional moment at the MTV VMAs. Here’s why JB was crying:

    It’s just so overwhelming for me. Everything, just the performance — I missed some cues, so I was a little disappointed at that. Just everyone, the support. I just wasn’t expecting them to support me the way that they did. The last time I was at an awards show, I was booed. … I think it’s just like I’ve worked so hard at this album, I worked so hard at becoming the man I want to become, and then stepping into this situation you can’t help but feel judged. So I was just feeling judged, and just wanting to win so badly, and just wanting to do what I love so badly that I just put everything on the line. And I think that that was what was so special about the emotional moment, it was authentic and real. I was really just wanting it so bad.”

    Jimmy joked that his junk was being pulled hard by the harness he was strapped into, so that probably helped bring on the tears.


    Justin didn’t stay deep and emotional, he got to work doing what he loves best: performing. He did some “Freestylin’ with The Roots,” performed “What Do You Mean?” and had a Drum-Off with Questlove. He and Jimmy also sang “Where Are U Now” as a country ballad.
    Over on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Amanda Peet talked about wanting to divorce her husband, who happens to be one of the “Game of Thrones” showrunners. She spends part of her year in Northern Ireland, because GoT shooting is (mostly) based there, but she said she doesn’t love David Benioff anymore because of what happened to Jon Snow. She said she made David promise her not to kill Jon Snow; she begged him, she said she heard rumors about Jon Snow, and she wanted proof that he was OK. David sent her a photo of Kit Harington with his long hair and it made her fall back in love with her husband again. But two episodes later they killed off Jon Snow. (For now.) On a related note, they talked about Jon Snow impressions and Amanda did hers, while reading a bra-like advertisement. Her impression is not that great, it’s closer to Ygritte mixed with Robb Stark, but it’s funny. All you really have to do for Jon Snow is lower your voice and look gloomy.
    Jimmy Kimmel also addressed a new public policy poll, which said a majority of Republicans still believe President Obama is a Muslim. So JKL took to the street with a pedestrian question: “Is Barack Obama a Muslim?”

    Back on “The Tonight Show,” author Salman Rushdie talked about writing a song for U2.

    Don’t forget: Conan, Seth Meyers, and James Corden are on repeats this week, but things will get back to normal soon, with Stephen Colbert joining the mix with his “The Late Show” debut on September 8.
