Jimmy Kimmel Talks Oscars Gaffe: Who Does He Blame?

On Sunday night, Jimmy Kimmel was at the center of the greatest mistake in Academy Awards history. As most of the free world knows by now, Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were on stage toward the very end of this ceremony, prepared to announce the winner of Best Picture. Only Beatty hesitated, confused by the contents of the envelope, which he then showed to Dunaway. Jimmy Kimmel Monologue: Down with Donald Trump, Matt Damon AND Meryl Streep The veteran actress went ahead and told the crowd that La La Land had earned this honor, prompting that film’s cast and crew to take to the stage. By just as one of the producers started to give an acceptance speech, someone with a headset started whispering in the ears of those around him on stage. It turns out… a mistake was made! Moonlight actually won Best Picture! Beatty and Dunaway were somehow given a duplicate envelope that contained the winner of Best Actress (Emma Stone from La La Land), NOT Best Picture. A bit of chaos ensured before one of the La La Land producers very calmly and gracefully confirmed to the audience what had transpired. As host, Kimmel tried to lighten the mood, cracking that he blames Steve Harvey for the miscue. It was pretty incredible to witness. You really should relive the moment below: Oscars 2017 Best Picture: There’s Been a Mistake! Fast forward about 24 hours and Kimmel opened his late-night talk show on Monday by, of course, addressing this unexpected Oscars development. “As I’m sure you’ve at least heard, La La Land was simultaneously somehow the biggest winner and loser last night,” he cracked, going on to joke that “It was the weirdest TV finale since Lost.” Kimmel also gave hilarious credit to Beatty for basically passing the confusing buck (that is, envelope) to his fellow presenter. “See what Warren did there?” said Kimmel of the moment when Beatty hesitated prior to handing the envelope to Dunaway. “He was confused, so he let her read the winner. In other words, Clyde threw Bonnie under the bus. I have to be honest … it’s one of the slickest moves I’ve ever seen.” Where was Kimmel when this was taking place? Sitting next to close friend/fake enemy Matt Damon, prepared to deliver his final scripted joke. “So the La La Land producers get up on stage, and a few of them – Jordan Horowitz, Marc Platt and Fred Burger – gave speeches,” Kimmel explained. “So now I am sitting in the audience watching the speeches. The plan is for me to end the show from the audience, next to Matt Damon, who – make no mistake – whatever confusion there was about who won? Matt Damon lost. He was a loser. He is a loser. “But we’re sitting there, and we notice some commotion going on, and Matt says, ‘I think I heard the stage manager say they got the winner wrong,’ which is unusual, but you figure, well, the host will go onstage and clear this up. “And then I remember, ‘oh I’m the host.'” Some viewers actually this entire thing was one of Kimmel’s his infamous pranks. But he assured his folks that the mix-up was not any kind of hoax. “As I walked off stage, people started to speculate that maybe I was pulling a prank,” he said last ight. “Which, trust me, if I had pulled a prank in that situation, I wouldn’t have just had the wrong winner’s name in the envelope when they opened it. There would have been a Bed Bath & Beyond coupon inside. It was not a prank. “And by the way, the producers of La La Land were very gracious, on stage and off. They handled it very well. It was a very amicable custody arrangement. They didn’t even ask for visitation or anything.” Accounting firm PricewaterhouseCooper has taken responsibly for the wild gaffe and issued an apology. In a statement released on their Twitter page, the company said: “PwC takes full responsibility for the series of mistakes and breaches of established protocols during last night’s Oscars. PwC Partner Brian Cullinan mistakenly handed the back-up envelope for Actress in a Leading Role instead of the envelope for Best Picture to presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.” Why is there a back-up envelope? Who the heck knows?!? “We wish to extend our deepest gratitude to each of them for the graciousness they displayed during such a difficult moment,” PricewaterhouseCooper concluded. “For the past 83 years, the Academy has entrusted PwC with the integrity of the awards process during the ceremony, and last night we failed the Academy.” It remains unclear whether the Academy will bring PricewaterhouseCooper back in this capacity next year.

Jennifer Aniston is PREGNANT! (According to Kathy Hilton)

Hollywood is a small place and stars who wouldn’t seem to share enough in common to sustain 10 minutes of cocktail party small talk often form close friendships for no other reason than that they’re both rich and famous. Just like in high school, some people are deemed cool enough to move seamlessly between cliques, and it should come as no surprise that Jennifer Aniston is one such social butterfly, beloved by both A-listers and reality stars alike. Which is why when Paris Hilton’s mom says Aniston is pregnant , there might really be something to it. Aniston was in attendance at the 2017 Academy Awards on Sunday night, and it seems that while the rest of the country was preoccupied with #Envelopegate and Gary From Chicago, Kathy Hilton was busy spreading rumors about the actress: “Jennifer Aniston looks so beautiful tonight I am telling you she is having a baby girl. 100/ percent,” Kathy tweeted after the ceremony. She deleted the tweet less than an hour later, but only after being bombarded by requests to elaborate. Is it possible that Kathy realized she had shared information that she was supposed to keep to herself? Kathy, of course, was not in attendance at the Oscars, but she did snag a coveted invitation to Elton John’s after-party. Is it possible that she and Jen talked pregnancy, and in her excitement, Kathy spilled the tea all over Twitter. Eh … probably not. According to Aniston’s publicist Stephen Huvane, Kathy has no information about what’s going on in Jen’s uterus than anyone else. “Jennifer is not pregnant nor does she know Kathy Hilton,” Huvane tells Hollywood Life. The situation begs the question: What in the actual hell was Kathy Hilton talking about? For starters, Jen didn’t look remotely pregnant on Sunday night. Not only that, Kathy skipped right over speculation that Jen is pregnant and jumped right to speculating about the non-existent baby’s gender. Look, Kathy, we understand that your family is a bit thirsty these days, but this isn’t the way. The Internet generates approximately 40,000 Jennifer Aniston pregnancy rumors a day on its own. We don’t need you adding fuel to the fire. If you need attention this badly, we suggest you keep it in-house and start a rumor about Paris. Your daughter, not the city. Although come to think of it, Americans are probably equally apathetic about both these days. View Slideshow: Jennifer Aniston: 26 Babies & Counting!!

Kris Jenner: Did She Throw a Tantrum at the Oscars?

Kris Jenner made a pretty major faux pas at the Academy Awards. She didn’t announce the wrong winner of Best Picture , unlike Warren Beatty. Nor did she include the photo of someone who is still alive in the show’s In Memoriam segment, unlike whoever was in charge of the show’s In Memoriam segment. But Jenner did come across like an ignorant fool during E!’s red carpet coverage of the event. Those who tuned in to see quasi professional journalists judge the appearances of actors and actresses prior to the ceremony need to get a life. Wait, that’s not it. It’s true. But that isn’t the point of this story. What we meant to say was this: Those who tuned in to E! prior to the start of last night’s Academy Awards likely noticed that many celebrities were donning blue ribbons over their dresses or tuxedos to show support for the American Civil Liberties Union, an organization that fights for human rights. This has become a popular cause among those concerned about the policies being discussed and/or passed by the Donald Trump administration. But the cause hasn’t become popular enough to have caught the attention of Jenner, apparently. During the live telecast, Jenner and Giuliana Rancic were talking about Best Actress nominee Ruth Negga‘s Oscar gown when the reality star asked: “What is the blue thing she has there? Is that a ribbon?” “It’s the ACLU ribbon that a lot of people are actually wearing on the red carpet tonight,” Rancic calmly replied. “This is the first one I’ve seen. That little ribbon,” Jenner responded, very confused by the confluence of the accessory. Among the Twitters users who took note of this comment? The ACLU itself! According to a source who works in production for E!’s Oscars pre-show fashion panel, Jenner was aware of the backlash surrounding her ignorance… … and she was not very happy about it! “Kris absolutely flipped out when the cameras stopped rolling,” this insider tells Radar Online . Adds the person behind this report: “Kris accused producers of trying to sabotage her. She actually went on to say that it was their fault that they did not inform her of what the blue ribbons signified.” We’d say it’s the producers fault for asking Jenner to work the event in the first place. We’re not sure what makes her qualified to talk about fashion… or movies… or really anything at all, except for our to best exploit one’s children for a lot of money. View Slideshow: Oscars 2017: A Ceremony in GIFs! Not surprisingly, the mole tells Radar that Jenner will not be asked back for this same pre-show coverage in 2018. And that’s likely fine by her anyhow. “Kris is just mortified at how badly she messed up,” the insider concludes.

Kylie Jenner to Tyga: Let’s Get Married!

According to a new report, Kylie Jenner has gone from concerns over Tyga cheating on her … … to concerns over seating and floral arrangements at the the couple’s wedding. Oh, yes, we said it, people: the couple’s WEDDING ! No, Kylie and Tyga are not engaged. Not yet, at least. But an insider tells Hollywood Life that Jenner is pushing her boyfriend hard to propose. She’s ready to take this next huge step in life. “Kylie really, really wants to get married to Tyga,” a source close reality star has allegedly said, adding: “She’s terrified that he’s going to cheat on her and thinks if they get married it will stop him.” This seems to be a constant theme with Kylie, her fear over whether or not Tyga will sleep with other women while supposedly committed to her. It’s hard not to have two reactions to that concern: Kylie may want to rethink a relationship with someone she doesn’t fully trust. Getting married doesn’t exactly prevent someone from cheating, just ask any of THESE CELEBRITIES . Tyga has a tattoo in honor of Kylie on his body; and vice versa for Jenner when it comes to her rapping beau. So things most definitely do seem very serious between the stars. It’s just a question now of how serious they’ll become in the near future. “They’ve been together for ages now and Kylie thinks it’s high time Tyga steps up and does the deed ,” the Hollywood Life source says. “She’s got weddings on the brain, and all she can think about is dresses, and rings, and honeymoons. Kylie’s pretty much planned the entire wedding already in her head, now she just needs Tyga to propose!” That is a very small detail, yes. Tyga is currently on tour in Europe, so we don’t see a proposal taking place any time soon. There’s also the matter of each star’s age. Tyga is 27 years old. He was formerly engaged to Blac Chyna (yes, that Blac Chyna) and is aware of just how quickly things can fall apart, even when a romance seems to be perfect. Kylie is 19 years old. She’s still young. This is her first legitimate relationship. And that may be an issue between the couple. “Tyga knows what she wants, but he’s not playing her game,” the insider says. “He thinks they are both still too young to get married, and he sees no rush. “But she’s got weddings and babies on the brain.” She also has fake boobs on her chest, that much is seeming more and more apparent: View Slideshow: 19 Reasons to Believe Kylie Jenner Got a Boob Job Do you think Tyga should just go ahead and propose? Or do you agree with the rapper, that there’s no rush and no need to change the status quo if it’s working so well? Sound off below!

Kim Kardashian: Not Invited to ANY Oscar Parties?!

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West may be back together, but that doesn’t mean they’re back on top. In years past, Kimye was a constant presence at big awards season events, but this time around, the couple wasn’t spotted working a single red carpet or after-party. And according to a new report from Radar Online, it’s not for lack of trying: “Kim was hoping to go to the Vanity Fair party, or really any party,” a source close to the Kardashians  tells the site. “But she didn’t receive an invitation.” Instead of hobnobbing with the rich and famous, Kim and Kanye reportedly spent the evening on the couch, likely rocking matching pairs of $3,000 Yeezy sweatpants: “They watched the show at home,” the insider says. “Kim is often reminded that she is not a real star when she goes to any of these things, but she and Kanye really wanted to have a fun night out.” Yes, the Kim Kardashian sex tape may have been a hit online, but surprisingly, it hasn’t earned Kim much praise from critics. This isn’t the first year that the Wests have sat out the awards season party circuit, but the source says they were hoping to send a message by attending some of 2017’s biggest events. Kanye was hospitalized following an emotional breakdown back in November, and there have been murmurs about the state of his mental health ever since. On top of that, Kim and Kanye divorce rumors have been flooding social media non-stop. Popping up at a few red carpet soirees would have been an easy way for the couple to reassure fans and garner a few good headlines for a change. Interestingly, Kim’s not the only member of her family to feel put-off by Hollywood’s biggest night. Production sources say Kris Jenner threw a tantrum while covering the red carpet for E! News. The infamous momager was reportedly pissed that she wasn’t informed about the blue ribbons celebs were wearing to show their support for the ACLU. Jenner felt that she was made to look like a fool for asking about the significance of the ribbon on air. Sounds like the Trumps might not be the only family who chooses not to tune in to next year’s ceremony. View Slideshow: Kim Kardashian: 19 Reasons Why She Isn’t That Terrible

Viola Davis Oscars Speech: The Best Ever?

Viola Davis was expected to win Best Supporting Actress at the 2017 Academy Awards for her role in Fences. And Viola Davis was expected to give an especially poignant speech after her win for Best Supporting Actress at the 2017 Academy Awards for her role in Fences. Both these things happened on Sunday night. But that didn't make them any less dramatic or impactful. “People ask me all the time, what kind of stories do you want to tell, Viola?” said Davis early on in her acceptance speech, adding: “And I say, exhume those bodies, exhume those stories, the stories of the people who dreamed.” She went on, explaining her rationale and showering praise on her industry in general. “I became an artist, and thank god I did, because we are the only profession that celebrates what it means to live a life. So here’s to August Wilson, who exhumed and exalted the ordinary people.” The How to Get Away with Murder star continued to gush over the playwright behind Fences, which she described as, “a movie that is about people, and words, and life, and forgiveness, and grace.” Now the only black woman to have won an Oscar, Emmy and Tony for acting, Davis referred to co-star and director Denzel Washington as her “captain” and told the actor: “Thank you for putting two entities in the driving seat: August and God. And they served you well.” Twitter quickly blew up after the speech was over with jokes over how the speech itself ought to be nominated for an Oscar or Emmy. Watch the entire thing below:

Christina El Moussa Throws Subtle Shade at Tarek, Makes Heartbreaking Confession

According to a new report, Christina El Moussa is no longer running her tongue over the body of Gary Anderson. She and the man she dated for a few months after splitting from husband Tarek have ended their relationship . With her tongue therefore free to do other things, Christina has decided to not bite it. In other, less confusing terms, what we’re saying is this: El Moussa hopped on Instagram this afternoon and hurled some shade in the direction of Tarek, her estranged ex and ongoing Flip or Flop co-star. Both of these HGTV employees have been in the news a lot over the past few days, with Tarek and Christina actually giving duel interviews on Today and Good Morning America, respectively, on Tuesday. In his pre-taped sit-down, delved into detail regarding the strange incident last May in which he stormed out of his house with a gun , following an argument with Christina. He said he was never suicidal and simply wanted to protect himself against wild animals in the woods while he blew off some steam via a hike. Tarek also admitted that it’s been a little awkward filming Flip or Flop with Christina, but that both sides agree on what’s most important these days: “The number one goal is to co-parent our children. We have to make sure we remain friendly.” Tarek El Moussa Explains Gun Incident: What Was He Thinking?!? As you can see in the above clip, Tarek didn’t say anything too controversial in his Today Show interview. Nevertheless, Christina definitely appears to have taken a shot at her soon-to-be-ex-husband in her latest Instagram post. It’s a photo of a very serious looking tiger, staring into camera, with the following words plastered over his face: Be selective in your battles. Sometimes peace is better than being right. Our translation here? I’m right. Tarek is wrong. But I’m gonna take the high road, place my children’s well-being above all else and keep the peace. Even though, remember… I’m right! What has Tarek said or done that prompted Christina’s shade? We can’t say for certain at the moment. Elsewhere, Christina opened up to People Magazine for its latest issue, admitting that communication between her and Tarek fell apart to such a degree that they didn’t even drive to the Flip or Flop set together toward the end of their marriage. She doesn’t sound bitter at this point, however. “It is what it is and we are going through a divorce and eventually we will be dating other people,” El Moussa tells the publication , adding: “I’m happy for him and whatever steps he takes in his life and I just hope he’s happy.” In a newly-released excerpt from the cover story, Christina also tells a sad tale about the separation and its aftermath. When she first moved out, Christina said she kept the reasons why pretty “vague” in talking to daughter Taylor, which worked for a little bit because the family often renovated their house and would live elsewhere temporarily. Later, however, once the couple decided that reconciliation was not on the table, Christina says: “Taylor asked if we could get back together. We had to explain that sometimes couples get divorced but that she and Brayden are our No. 1 priority. We’ll always be a family.” That’s a sad thing to hear, but a few months after Tarek and Christina called it quits, it sounds as if six-year Taylor and 17-month old Brayden are doing well. “Our kids are amazing … our kids are transitioning well,” Christina said Tuesday on Good Morning America. “Tarek and I are friends and we have a lot of support from our family. The kids are doing great.” View Slideshow: Christina El Moussa Photos: Flip or Flop Hotness!

Kody Brown: Is He Abusing the Sister Wives?!

It seems like at least once a month or so, we hear a new rumor about the Sister Wives. Specifically about how the Sister Wives are planning on leaving Kody Brown. It makes sense — Kody does seem pretty unbearable , and even if he was the greatest dude of all time, sharing your husband with three other women doesn’t sound like a great time. Last we heard, Robyn, Kody’s most recent sister wife, and the only one he’s legally married to, is considering leaving him . The issue is that Kody is allegedly preparing to take on a fifth wife who is just 24 years old. Robyn’s not that into the idea, so if he follows through, she’s out. Kody had apparently been struggling with Robyn’s possible departure, so he reportedly began drinking to get through the fights and the panic attacks. We’d be all “aww, poor guy,” but, you know, it’s Kody. If he has such a hard time understanding the problems in his marriages, then there’s really no helping him, is there? But it seems like understanding isn’t Kody’s only issue — not by a long shot. According to an actual family friend of the Browns, Kody’s been “totally spiraling out of control” lately. The friend says that Kody is “becoming a hothead, he has no filter and it is freaking Robyn out.” Things are so bad that “she can no longer trust him.” They used to “fight and yell at each other,” but “now Robyn simply ignores him, which makes him even more infuriated.” “Kody has a nasty tongue on him,” the friend continues. “Robyn told me how Kody said to her, ‘you would not have any of this if it wasn’t for me.'” “Kody has to be the king of the castle. Robyn used to be Kody’s puppet. Now she’s saying no.” So it sounds like a miserable situation is getting even worse thanks to Kody’s increasingly bad temper, right? No wonder there are constant reports of his wives leaving him . And the Browns’ family friend has some words to say on that subject, too. “Robyn’s always said that if he takes on new wives, she’ll leave,” she says. “Robyn has told friends she is going to divorce Kody.” “She believes it is her only choice. She says he will be getting a rude awakening soon when he’s served with the papers.” While it would be wonderful if Robyn left Kody — and if Meri, Janelle, and Christine left him, too — we’ll believe it when we see it. But dang, this story is getting juicy, huh?
