Jimmy Kimmel is enlisting Rosie O’Donnell to guest host his ABC talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live! as a “special treat” for President Donald Trump. “I will be taking the next two months off — this time voluntarily,” Kimmel, 58, joked during his monologue on Thursday, June 18.

I Will Find You author Harlan Coben weighed in on the Netflix show adapting his book — with some major changes and twists. “I’ll give you the emotional answer,” Coben, 64, exclusively told Us Weekly about his reaction. “When I first go on set, when I first see Sam Worthington and Britt Lower and Milo Ventimiglia and the rest of the huge cast and crew, I think to myself, ‘I had this little idea in the corner of my house in New Jersey and now all these fantastic people are going to bring it to life.’” Coben was delighted with…
Shakur Stevenson has offered his prediction for a potential clash between David Benavidez and Jai Opetaia, describing one man as a “beast”. Benavidez moved up to 200lbs last month, becoming a three-division world champion by dethroning Gilberto Ramirez with an emphatic sixth-round stoppage.
