Oscars for snubbing Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie’s work on Barbie during his opening monologue.For the fourth year, the presenter is hosting the annual awards ceremony in Los Angeles tonight (March 10).As Kimmel opened the show at the Dolby Theatre, he referenced some of the biggest movies of the year. “Barbie was a monster hit,” he said.

Oscar host Jimmy Kimmel drew a standing ovation at the Dolby Theatre by capping off his show-opening monologue with a salute to below-the-line union workers.

Now spring is here, many fashion fans are looking to ditch their tracksuits in favour of dresses and jumpsuits. But making the change doesn't mean you have to compromise on comfort, as I've found a jumpsuit that is said to be 'as comfy as a tracksuit'.

Jimmy Kimmel is hosting the Oscars this year for the fourth time. Other than Bob Hope (19 times), Billy Crystal (nine) and Johnny Carson (five), no solo host has done it more. (Whoopi did it 4 times as well.) But it is a good bet that among those hosts, no one has seen as many of the nominated films. Kimmel is a self-described movie fan, and as I learned from our conversation he not only spends weeks, months even, prepping his monologue, but he also might be one of the few in the room at the Dolby Theater who actually has seen everything. And I mean everything.

The Simpsons has once again appeared to have predicted a current-day event – this time in the recent ‘Willy Wonka Experience’ fiasco in Glasgow.The Wonka-themed chocolate “experience” in Glasgow had been branded “awful” by furious parents and forced to shut just hours after opening.Dubbed as ‘Willy’s Chocolate Experience’, the event advertised “a celebration of sweetness and imagination”, inspired by the hit movie Wonka and the Roald Dahl book that inspired it.Tickets cost £35 and promised audio and visual effects, dancing Oompa-Loompas and chocolate fountains, but delivered little more than a barely-decorated warehouse with a smattering of plastic candy canes and a small bouncy castle.Now, fans of The Simpsons have noticed the similarity between the ill-fated event and an episode from season five, ‘Bart’s Inner Child’ when Homer explains to Marge that he plans to open a play park for children in the family’s back garden.Homer dreams of charging $50 to enter ‘Homerland’ which features ‘Trampoline World’ (one trampoline per hour children), ‘Mudville USA’ which is just a large puddle and ‘Fort Adventure’ – which turns out to be a pile of dirty mattresses.Check out the eerie similarities here:The Simpsons did it again

“The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live,” the newest spinoff of “The Walking Dead,” which premiered Sunday night on AMC.The series opens with Rick, who’s been working for the Civic Republic Military, being held prisoner, tethered by his wrist to a soldier to prevent him from escaping.Fans of “The Walking Dead” already know how tough Rick is — he’s made it this far in the zombie apocalypse universe, after all — but what he does next will make even the show’s most hardcore fans flinch in disbelief.Deciding that he needs a plan to escape, Rick says, “This is how,” before swinging an ax to chop off his left wrist — and then, in agony, cauterizing the wound in the flames of a dead zombie and trying to flee … though shortly afterward he’s recaptured.(He later escapes and wears a black glove on his left arm — complete with a switchblade.)So now Rick will go through this season of “The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live” sans his left hand, all while looking to reunite with his true love, Michonne (Danai Gurira), in their continuing fight against deadly zombies.The “Walking Dead” universe is, of course, based on Robert Kirkman’s comic book series. In the comic book, Rick’s left hand is chopped off early on, in issue 28, by the Governor after he refuses to answer questions under interrogation.Showrunner Scott Gimple said that the decision to part Rick from his left hand came from Lincoln himself.“I played around with the idea but didn’t commit to it through all sorts of iterations of the story,” Gimple told Entertainment Weekly.
