Jimmy Kimmel obtains Italian citizenship over Trump
Jimmy Kimmel has obtained Italian citizenship. The 57-year-old presenter - who has Katie, 33, and Kevin, 31, with ex-wife Gina Maddy and Jane, 11, and Billy, eight, with spouse Molly McNearney - has Italian heritage on his mother's side so sought to obtain official links to Europe because he is so unhappy with the state of the US under the presidency of Donald Trump. Speaking on The Sarah Silverman Podcast, he said: "I do have... I did get Italian citizenship, I do have that. "What's going on is ... as bad as you thought it was gonna be, it's so much worse. "It's just unbelievable. I feel like it's probably even worse than (Trump) would like it to be." The Jimmy Kimmel Live! host believes people should "welcome" those who have changed their views on Trump after previously supporting him to be re-elected. "I think the door needs to stay open. If you want to change your mind, that's so hard to do. If you want to admit you were wrong, that's so hard and so rare to do. You are welcome," he said. The Who Wants To Be a Millionaire? host's comments about Trump come after the US president claimed he and Jimmy Fallon could be "next" to have their shows cancelled after news that the Late Show with Stephen Colbert will end in May 2026. Trump wrote on his own Truth Social platform: "The word is, and it's a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes and, shortly thereafter, Fallon will be gone. "These are people with absolutely NO TALENT, who were paid Millions of Dollars for, in all cases, destroying what used to be GREAT Television." In response, Kimmel posted on Instagram: "I'm hearing you're next. Or maybe it's just another wonderful secret." His contract for Jimmy Kimmel Live! - which airs on ABC - is set to expire in 2026.

US TV star Jeremy Piven slams Perth in wild remark during interview
Jeremy Piven poked fun at an Australian city at the premiere of his new movie on Tuesday evening. The former Entourage star, 60, has been Down Under a lot recently between filming the movie Primitive War and doing his stand-up routine in numerous Aussie cities. It turns out one in particular left a lasting impression on Piven, who suggested Perth could do with a name change. 'In the middle of my tour, we headed over to Perth which is the meth capital of Australia, I don't know if you know that,' he teased during an interview with Daily Mail. He then took aim at President's Trump recent renaming of The Gulf of Mexico, adding: 'And so, in the spirit of Donald Trump, I wanna rename Perth: 'Merth'.' Piven went on to recall his favourite places to visit Down Under, revealing that Perth wasn't that bad after all. 'The reality is, I went to a cigar bar called The Social Club there and it was one of the best cigar lounges I've ever been to in my life,' he confessed. 'Every stop that I had, whether it was the Enmore Theatre here in Sydney or going to Melbourne and playing Hamer Hall, they were some of the best times I've ever had in my life,' added the star. Piven is best known for his role in Hollywood dramedy Entourage. The actor played the Ari Gold on the HBO series from 2004 to 2011, as well as appearing in the 2015 movie. It comes after The Entourage star arrived at Nova 100's Melbourne studios for the Jase & Lauren show on Friday morning straight off his red-eye flight from Perth, and understandably, he found it hard to find his bearings. 'I just got off a plane from Perth and I don't know where I am right now, but the one thing I do know is that I think after this I'm going to retire,' he said. 'After this interview, I'm gong to end this horrible charade.' 'I just got off a plane from Perth and what's amazing is I'm on this tour,' he began, before Phillips attempted to cut him off after which he told her to 'let me just finish real quick'. 'I'm so excited to be in Australia and I'm going to all these beautiful places and all of a sudden they throw Perth in the mix and that's when everything goes off the rails. The five-and-half-hours flight will throw you off.'
