Late night hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon were among those who joked about first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton on Monday night, and they had plenty to say about it. Watch the video below of some of the best jokes from Tuesday’s talk shows.

Kimmel began his monologue by saying, “As predicted, this was the most watched debate in the history of ever. More than 82 million Americans watched on TV alone. They covered all the major topics — national security, the economy, Rosie O’Donnell. Everything that needed to be covered.” He joked, “Trump said he wants to bring back ‘Stop and Frisk,’ whereas Hillary wants to bring back ‘Stop. Collaborate. And listen.’”

The talk show host continued, “After the debate, there was another debate about who won. Donald Trump, you’re not going to believe this, definitely believes he won. And not just the debate. He thinks he won the World Series and the Super Bowl, too.” Kimmel went on, “Of course, the big winner at the debate last night was Nasonex. Donald Trump was sniffling throughout the whole thing. Apparently, he fired his personal nose blower earlier in the week, and was left unattended all week.”

Fallon also joked about Trump’s sniffling, and his use of the word “braggadocios,” which the GOP presidential nominee used before “introducing his new speechwriters, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” The host also mocked Trump for making a joke about how old B-52s are. Fallon then cracked out that our B-52s are so old, they “need Cialis to launch a missile.”

Stephen Colbert brought up how people are talking about “who won?” The host said that it’s “a silly question to ask” because there were no judges, but if there were, “The Russians would give Trump a 10.” He also said Clinton “got under Trump’s skin” because she brought her “orange peeler.” Later, Colbert offered that a clear sign Trump lost was because on Tuesday “the peso went up.”

Conan O’Brien cracked that Trump had a “rough night,” and afterwards “complained about his microphone.” The host explained Trump was “angry everyone could hear him perfectly.” O’Brien also noted that Trump reportedly interrupted Clinton 51 times, and when asked if she was bothered, Trump said, ‘No, she wasn’t.’” He added that 51 interruptions is what Trump’s wife Melania calls “a quiet night.”

James Corden said 7 million tweets were sent during the debate, and “only 5 million of them were from Trump.” He similarly brought up Trump’s sniffling, which he explained was from being “allergic to whatever animal fell alseep on top of his head.” And the problem with Trump’s mic, explained Corden, was that “it was turned on.”

And Seth Meyers called Trump’s sparring the “worst debate performance by a Republican since Clint Eastwood lost to a chair.” He also noted that the GOP presidential candidate said after the debate that he gave Clinton a C+ for her performance, prompting Meyers to crack at Trump, “What was your grade, an H?” And about Trump’s microphone, the “Late Night” host acknowledged it was clearly defective since it “picked up everything he said.”

Actor Timothy Olyphant is best known for his Emmy-winning work in the FX series, Justified.  Besides his knee-weakening good looks and his gift for acting, he claims swimming had a major impact on him to this day.  

National notice

Olyphant was born in Hawaii but moved to Modesto as a toddler.  There while growing up, he became involved in youth swimming, eventually swimming in the finals of the 1986 U.S. Nationals in the 200 Individual Medley.  His performance there garnered the attention of USC swimming coach Peter Daland.

Fate takes over

During his recruiting trip to USC, he visited the school of architecture and was told that if he intended to swim that there was no way he could balance the responsibilities of both.  He remembers noticing an art gallery on the floor below the architecture school, and asking if he could be a fine arts major and swim.  So arts major it was and actor he is.  Olyphant would swim all four years for USC placing 11th and 14th at the Pac 10 Championships.  Considering the depth in the Pac 10 at the time, he had some skills.

Show me the…that’s someone else’s movie

Regarding the choice to go into acting versus continuing to pursue swimming, he notes that “Bruce Jenner was a millionaire and Mark Spitz is a dentist” so not the right sport for the money.  Also not the right sport for a future after college if you are not an olympian. Olyphant did coach for some time at Irvine Novaquatics, one of the top-ranked swim team programs in the country.  So somewhere in this world are a group of now adults who can watch Justified and say “Hey, there’s Coach Tim!”

He coached and waited tables to get by until he made the decision to go to New York to explore other options, stand up comedy and acting. It was there that he attended acting school and began his acting career.  In life’s fine sense of irony, his success in acting has led to him driving his kids around, walking his dog, and now, sitting by his pool – safely covered, of course.

Appreciating the grind

When reflecting on some of the parallels of competitive swimming and acting, Olyphant states that even though you love something, like he loved swimming, there are times that it’s just the last thing you want to do.  On certain mornings as you look at the unheated outdoor pool and think, no way, you do it anyway and eventually you settle into the grind.

That grind is the same no matter whether it is in a pool in Southern California or on the set of an award-winning television series.  Sometimes you just don’t want to, but you dive in and let the process take over; then boom, off you go.

Olyphant also credits his competitive swimming background with helping him in his ability to stay lean. Though now he hits the weights as a part of his fitness regimen.  The work ethic that made him a champion swimmer and the lessons learned in the pool are still right there.

Darby Walker sang duets with Miley Cyrus and Alicia Keys on “The Voice” on Tuesday. Check out the video below!

Before her Blind Audition, the 17-year-old revealed she was obsessed with Keys’ “No One” when she was younger. But Cyrus was the first to be won over by the contestant’s sultry voice. Walker’s performance of the Florence + the Machine version of “Stand By Me” led Cyrus to turn around first, followed by Keys and then Blake Shelton.

“I want you on my team so bad, and I feel like our voices have a similar vibe,” Cyrus said afterward. But when Shelton questioned how she could already know that they have the same taste in music, the pop star exclaimed, “I want to sing with her!” And with that, Cyrus went on stage, and she and Walker sang “Jolene.”

Cyrus amusingly whispered afterward, “You have to pick me.” But she didn’t have it in the bag yet. After Walker noted her “10-year-old self would be freaking out right now,” Keys started singing “No One.” Soon enough, she was on stage with Walker, too.

At that point, Shelton had all but given up, and Cyrus admitted “I won’t be hurt if it’s Alicia. I’ll be sad if you pick Blake.” In the end, though… Cyrus won! Walker adorably confessed afterward, “I just sang with Miley Cyrus and Alicia Keys and I’m still processing that that just happened.” Watch below!

Jessica Simpson is not pregnant again, despite a wholly manufactured tabloid report. Gossip Cop can exclusively correct this made-up claim. We’re told she’s not expecting a third baby.

According to OK!, “Simpson sparked pregnancy rumors after she arrived to LAX sporting a fuller figure.” After the tabloid notes again that she had a “bulging bump,” it veers off topic a bit to allege she’s “expanding her family on the heels of cheating allegations regarding her husband of two years, Eric Johnson, and the family’s nanny.” The unreliable publication then claims that a few months ago, Johnson and the family’s blonde nanny “slipped away for some alone time” during a hike with his and Simpson’s kids and “disappeared into the bushes for two hours.”

It’s hard to decide where to begin when debunking this complete fabrication. For starters, the tabloid wrongly writes “Simpson sparked pregnancy rumors.” It was the magazine itself that began the rumor with its talk of her “fuller figure” and “bulging bump.” And since the outlet doesn’t have sources or any other proof to back up its contention that Simpson is pregnant again, it switched topics to untruthfully claim Johnson was “cheating” some time ago with their children’s nanny.

But it’s all a lie. As Gossip Cop exclusively reported in April, Johnson never cheated with the nanny, as previously alleged by OK! in cover story that also wrongly alleged he and Simpson were in the midst of a “$ 175 million divorce.” But more on point, Simpson is not “expanding her family” with a third child. A mutual friend of Gossip Cop and Simpson exclusively assures us she is “definitely not pregnant.”

Of course, we’re not surprised the publication seemingly fabricated this article. Just four months ago, Gossip Cop busted the tabloid when it falsely reported Simpson was pregnant again. Similarly, we also corrected the outlet when it inaccurately claimed in a 2014 cover story that Simpson was pregnant with her third baby. Once again, the only thing that’s fertile here are the imaginations of the magazine’s writers.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton faced off Monday night in the first presidential debate of the 2016 election. Celebrities are now reacting to the event on Twitter. See stars’ reactions below!

As Gossip Cop reported, the first presidential debate between Trump and Clinton, moderated by NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt, was held at Hofstra University in Long Island, NY. The overwhelming majority of celebrities support Clinton, and many applauded her for holding her own against the outspoken Republican nominee.

Patricia Heaton kicked off the tweeting by writing at the beginning, “It seems like the Donald toned his hair and makeup down,” while Ed Helms tweeted, “Why is @HillaryClinton dressed like Dr. Evil at Christmas?” Bill Maher similarly remarked on Clinton’s outfit, joking, “Hillary dressed as bottle of hot sauce – a pander to Latinos?” And Josh Groban offered, “Anyone else find it funny that they’re both wearing the opposite party’s color?” “Hillary’s hair looks better than Donald Trump’s hair tonight. Maybe I’ll vote the #hairparty this year,” noted Arsenio Hall.

Right after the candidates began speaking, Debra Messing said of Clinton, “Now this is what a President sounds like. So proud #ImWithHer She is clear, focused, hopeful, disciplined.” The two candidates, though, bickered right away. About the sparring between them, Andy Cohen ‏wrote, “It took twenty minutes to turn into Housewives Reunion #Debates2016.” Emmy Rossum expressed, “Trump is literally IMPLODING,” while Sarah Silverman added, “Baby has a lot of tantrums #DEBATES.” And Albert Brooks cracked, “Putin is watching this saying ‘if he yells at me like this I’ll break his teeth’”

Sarah Hyland pleaded, “GIVE @HillaryClinton HER TWO MINUTES!!!!!! STOP INTERRUPTING!!!!” Kelly Clarkson wrote, “@HillaryClinton deserves an Oscar for acting like she doesn’t want to lose her ever living sh*t right now.” John Cusack ‏asked, “What is he even talking about? Does he know?” And Seth MacFarlane ‏opined, “I’ve never in my lifetime seen babbling incoherence on a Presidential debate stage like Trump is displaying tonight. I’m in a nightmare.”

Vocal Clinton supporter Katy Perry shared during the debate, “She’s smiling with ease cause #shesgotthis #ImWithHer #debatenight.” Josh Gad remarked, “Apparently Donald Trump is literally incapable of letting people talk.” Leslie Jones tweeted, “OMG I’m sorry y’all not only does he make no sense and saying nothing. He is just petty. He is isn’t saying anything helpful at all!!” And Connie Britton stated, “This is humiliating. We are desecrating our dignity. #hillarydeservesbetterandsodowe”

Tracee Ellis Ross felt, “This is just nuts #debatenight.” “Wow he is STRUGGLING,” wrote Jessica Chastain. Jesse Tyler Ferguson ‏voiced, “Trump explaining the Obama birth certificate is the craziest labyrinth of words I’ve ever heard. I mean….what?! So lost.” And Brandi Glanville suggested, “Can we have Trump run the business side and Hillary run the rest?”

After the debate, Olivia Wilde expressed, “That was a pathetic, unprepared, meltdown from an idiotic @realDonaldTrump. But we still have to work HARD to ensure his BS doesn’t win.” McFarlane wrote, “Wait… did Trump whine about Rosie O’Donnell there at the end? Does he know where he is? Am I in the ninth circle of Hell?” Ferguson added, “So proud of @HillaryClinton. GREAT job debating against a wildly underprepared opponent. #ImWithHer”

Bradley Whitford tweeted, “What’s more satisfying than a sexist bully pig getting crushed by the smart girl????” Patton Oswalt stated, “Hillary’s strategy: Be a woman talking calmly and intelligently near Trump and make him fear-poop.” And Kristen Bell offers about Trump, “If I had been audited for 15 years straight I guess I’d brag about it too. It’s pretty unique. #debates”

Whoopi Goldberg shared, “Proud of @HillaryClinton had a vision and a plan and did her thing, she was on point well done.” Gad wrote to Trump, “@realDonaldTrump you are the whiniest little bitch in the history of this country. You lost to a woman. Deal with it.” Sharon Stone tweeted, “Thank you Secretary @HillaryClinton for assuring our honorable position globally.” John Cusack slammed, “He’s emotionally a third grader/ anyone who thinks that’s not dangerous in the Oval Office is delusional.” And Rosie O’Donnell declared, “HE WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT.”

Poison’s well known drummer Rikki Rockett filed for divorce from his wife last year, and the couple have officially separated ways. Now though, Melanie Martel Rockett is saying she needs more alimony, because she can not afford to live on her own with their two kids, and that she signed the prenup under duress.

Rikki and people said to be around the couple before they got married, are saying that Melanie is full of it, and only trying to extort more money out of Rikki.

Friend of the couple, Kelly that was there during the signing of the prenup is saying that Melanie was not under duress in any way and joking about the entire thing.

Melanie has got a nice little amount already, and also currently gets a hefty amount of child support for their two children.

Rikki has also said, that he has dished out money “here and there” for other “needs” she has mentioned without a fight, and that she is only trying to mooch off the drummers bankroll.

A Judge will decide how this goes, however our attorneys are telling us she has no chance, unless she can prove without a doubt that she was pressured into signing the documents.

Here is some video of what made Rikki such a rich and famous man doing his thing with the sticks:

Caitlyn Jenner did not get butt implants, despite a new report. Gossip Cop can flatten this asinine rumor. We’re told it’s entirely untrue.

According to the often discredited MediaTakeOut, Jenner got her booty enhanced “like the rest of the Kardashians.” The webloid writes, Jenner was the “one of [the] last Kardashians with her natural butt,” but that has now “changed.” The site, which wrongly claims Kim Kardashian also has “implants,” notes it came to its conclusion that the former Olympian bought herself “some new cakes,” based entirely on a photo.

Gossip Cop looked at the same picture, and it hardly shows a pumped up posterior. Still, we checked in with Jenner’s rep, who shot down the bigger behind claim. Jenner’s spokesman exclusively assures Gossip Cop, “The tush is all hers.”

Naturally, Gossip Cop is not remotely shocked that MediaFakeOut is wrong. This is the same untrustworthy webloid that falsely alleged in a previous transphobic story that Caitlyn Jenner had changed “back to being Bruce.” It’s also the site Gossip Cop busted when it claimed Jenner was following in the Kardashian “family’s footsteps” by “dating a black man.” Much like those untrue reports, the new article about her getting butt implants is completely inaccurate.

What a fearsome fabulous foursome!
