Jimmy Kimmel reveals Trump admin led him to get Italian citizenship
(NewsNation) — Jimmy Kimmel revealed that he obtained his Italian passport just in case he has to leave the country because of President Trump. The 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' host appeared on Sarah Silverman's podcast on Aug. 7, where he shared the news. 'A lot of people I know are thinking about where they can get citizenship,' Silverman said, with Kimmel replying, 'I did get Italian citizenship.' Kennedy Center honorees include George Strait, KISS 'It's so much worse. It's just unbelievable. Like I feel like it's probably even worse than he would like it to be,' Kimmel told Silverman. Kimmel said that he was able to obtain Italian citizenship because of his mother's side of the family, according to the Los Angeles Times. The talk show host and comedian has routinely criticized the president for years, as well as his policies, even during his first term. Trump is no fan of Kimmel, having called him 'stupid' and saying he would be next to lose his late-night show after CBS canceled 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.' Jimmy Kimmel joins a list of comedians leaving US Ellen DeGeneres revealed in July that she and her wife, Portia de Rossi, moved to the United Kingdom due to Trump being reelected. 'We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, 'He got in,'' she told a crowd at Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham, England, according to The Guardian. 'And we're like, 'We're staying here.'' Shortly before Trump took office, Rosie O'Donnell, a vocal critic of the president, said she moved to Ireland with her 12-year-old daughter, The Hill reported. 'I moved here on Jan. 15, and it's been pretty wonderful. I have to say, the people are so loving and so kind, so welcoming, and I'm very grateful,' O'Donnell said in a TikTok video in March. 'I'm in the process of getting my Irish citizenship, as I have Irish grandparents.' In a July 12 Truth Social post, Trump threatened to revoke O'Donnell's U.S. citizenship, calling her a 'threat to humanity.'

Less Witchy Drinks in the French Quarter With the August Restaurant Closings
is an award-winning food and travel writer living in New Orleans. Her work has appeared in Atlas Obscura, The Local Palate, and the Los Angeles Times. It's August, which always brings a slew of restaurant closings in New Orleans. This past month, some heavy hitters and much-loved staples have shuttered. Restaurants include a longstanding Italian spot, a Filipino absinthe bar, and a French Quarter wine stop. Rising rent causes Tatlo to close after less than a year After less than a year of bewitching French Quarter diners, chef Cristina Quackenbush closed her restaurant Tatlo Divine Cuisine & Absinthe House on July 27. Citing a disconnect with the landlord along with no interest in having her rent raised to $18,000 a month, Quackenbush opted to close. But in her typical positive way, she has no regrets. 'We'll land somewhere where the rent is reasonable and I can make money. We'll be back. I'm so proud of what we did here.' Regulars save Italian mainstay Mona Lisa On August 1, the owners of Mona Lisa announced that they were informed (by text) to vacate the restaurant in 60 days. After that, restaurant regulars got busy. Fans of the Italian comfort cafe organized the Night of 1000 Mona Lisas for August 16, with attendees dressing like the Van Gogh masterpiece for a protest block party. On August 11, that dress-up party turned into a celebration. The owner changed his mind, allowing the restaurant owners to keep their Italian cafe on Royal Street open. Farrow Stephenson and Tom Moore have owned this beacon of queer community for 20 years. While they imagined it was possible to lose the space with a new owner coming in, they never thought the break-up would be by text. The owner and his realtor clearly underestimated the power of the New Orleans community that has supported the funky Italian eatery since 1987. Regulars love Mona Lisa for so many reasons. Where else can you see so many quirky versions of the Van Gogh masterpiece? The menu of Italian American favorites includes a cheesy lasagna, a Mediterranean salad with homemade feta vinaigrette, calzones stuffed with cheese, and the pizza, always loaded with savory bits atop a thick-ish crust with just the right chew. Mardi Gras pasta, made with shrimp and andouille sausage, is a house special. Prices are affordable, service is warm, and all pronouns are welcome. No word on what this all means for Bennachin, the African restaurant that dates to 1992. It is next door to Mona Lisa, with shared restrooms, all in the same building that was sold to the New York investor. Poke-Chan switches up its cuisine Poke-Chan, known for serving bowls of veggies and marinated raw fish, closed at 2809 St. Claude Avenue last month. The restaurant is staying in the family, though. Opened eight years ago, Susan Nguyen is the only original owner staying on in the business, which will become a Vietnamese restaurant she'll run with her mother in the coming months. A French Quarter wine bar retires Effervescence, a swanky wine bar and restaurant on the edge of the French Quarter since 2017, will close August 24. Owner and New Orleans native Chrystal Hinds announced that she will be retiring for a second time. She left a career in nursing to open her dream restaurant. 'I have been fortunate to spend eight and a half years pursuing my dream,' she said in the announcement. After thanking her chefs, Brenna Sanders and Evan Ingram, she added, 'After a well-deserved holiday, I will be ready to support whatever their next endeavor will entail.' Sounds like that retirement may be short-lived. Horn's closes due to 'brutal' summer Owner Kappa Horn closed her breakfast/lunch spot Horn's in the Marigny July 20. She urged followers to 'please go out and support a local restaurant. This summer has been brutal.' When it opened in 2014, Horn's was originally located at 1940 Dauphine Street. When that building sold, Horn's was relocated to 2440 Chartres Street, formerly home to Steve and Becky Himmelfarb's beloved Cake Café. Horn still owns the Uptown diner Slim Goodies. A sudden closure in the Marigny The Indian fusion restaurant Silk Road closed without notice or explanation earlier this month. Signs in the window say 'G's Kitchen, Coming Soon.' The restaurant was formerly known as Schiro's Bar and Café.
