Jimmy Kimmel Convinces Woman That Hitler is Alive (and Texting!)

While it remains very hard to believe that Donald Trump has said some of the things that Donald Trump has said, this much also remains hard to believe:


Some people out there still love Donald Trump.


In the following edition of Lie Witness News – a tradition on Jimmy Kimmel Live in which a correspondent for the show sees just how gullible certain pedestrians can be – Los Angeles residents and tourists are asked about Donald Trump.


Can they believe he walked around in a diaper in order to mock Democrats?


No, they cannot, although they claim to have seen this take place.


Can they believe he said that guns don"t kill people, Marco Rubio’s cousins kills people?


Nope, they were in shock over this statement as well.


What about the fact that Adolf Hitler texted Trump and started an online war with the Republican nominee for President?


One woman heard about this on "the news and/or the Internet" and was taken aback that Hitler would respond to Trump"s antics in such a manner.


It"s a good thing, she reasoned, that Trump is therefore "disqualified from President" due to this feud with Hitler.


We mean, you can"t just engage in a back-and-forth with the German dictator and expect to still be elected, can you?


We don"t even know where to start with this video, except to wonder: Perhaps not all citizens should be allowed to vote?

Lamar Odom Medical Costs Revealed: His Treatment Costs HOW MUCH?!

Yesterday, we reported that Lamar Odom may soon be able to leave the hospital after spending the last two months convalescing at medical facilities in Las Vegas and LA.



Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean the former NBA star is out of the woods in terms of his recovery.


Lamar has trouble walking and communicating, and will likely require round-the-clock care once he leaves Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles. 


Odom currently has nowhere to go (Khloe Kardashian says he can’t live with her, and Lamar is estranged from most of his family.), and the cost of his ongoing treatment may soon leave the 36-year-old destitute.


“By the end of the year, he’ll have easily made at least a $ 10 million dent in his $ 55 million fortune,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online.


“There’s no end in sight and he’s completely unaware of what’s going on.”


Fortunately for Lamar, his ex remains his biggest supporter, and she’s very, very well-off:



“Khloe’s managing most of it, but to her money’s no object and she’s signing him up for the best treatments money can buy,” the insider said.


“The fact they’re still only married in name has everyone on Lamar’s side freaking out because they know he’s going to be left with all these bills when she finally kicks him out.”


But while the thought of Khloe seeking out the best medical treatment money can buy may be a cause of concern within Lamar’s inner circle, sources say Khloe is acting out of Odom’s best interests.


While she may draw the line at her ex moving in with her, she’s reportedly making all the right decisions to ensure that he’s one day able to get some semblance of his old life back:


“He needs this treatment,” the insider conceded, “It’s what saved his life – but who’s going to pay for it all is going to cause some legal hell down the line.”


It’s am incredibly difficult situation, to be sure, but hopefully Lamar realizes how lucky he is to have a $ 55 million fortune and a wealthy ex to fall back on.


Khloe Kardashian Promotes New Show From Inside a Martini Glass

Don"t you look saucy, Khloe!


We"re just a month out from her new FYI series, Kocktails With Khloe, which promises "cooking, pop culture, conversation and outrageously fun party games."


To promote the show, Khloe teased a behind-the-scenes look at videos and photos featuring the reality star in a cocktail glass, as well as on set in the "sitting area" (there will also be a functional kitchen and dining area).


"I"m lucky that I"ve been able to invite fans into my life and home on a weekly basis," Kardashian said in a statement in July.


"This show will give me an opportunity to continue to do that with new and exciting guests. I can’t wait to show my fans what we have in store on Kocktails With Khloé."


The original air date was set for December 9th, according to People.  However, the network agreed to push the premiere back to January 2016 so that Khloe could focus on Lamar Odom"s health.


Khloe has proven herself as a very entertaining host; when she and Kourtney taped Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami in 2009, Khloe had her own radio show, KHLOE After Dark on South Florida"s Y100.


In unrelated, but adorable news, Khloe Instagram"d a photo of herself with North West.  Both were wearing neon green-lined space glasses and it was super, super cute.


That is all.

The Duggar Family: STILL Lying About Josh Duggar Sex Scandals?!

On the premiere of Jill and Jessa: Counting On, several members of the Duggar family addressed the Josh Duggar’s many sexual indiscretions in what seemed to be a frank and straightforward manner.



In one surprisingly candid clip younger brothers John-David and Joseph spoke openly about Josh and revealed that they’re thoroughly disgusted by the actions of a man they once looked up to:



Of course, Jill and Jessa were the focus of the show, and fans eagerly awaited their insight into the scandals that brought down one of TV’s favorite families.


Unfortunately, In Touch magazine is now alleging that Jill and Jessa misled viewers, and their coached responses were as mendacious as the girls’ responses to Megyn Kelly’s questions in the interview that aired shortly after the world learned that Josh molested his sisters.


The magazine says the lies started with the girls comments about how the family “healed” following Josh’s assaults:


“After that time, it was really, really hard on our family,” Jill Duggar said. “You know that was 12 years ago and the healing process started shortly after that happened.”


In Touch points out that the Duggars didn’t go to authorities until more than 18 months after the incident, during which time, the Duggar girls were repeatedly victimized by Josh.


It’s also interesting that Jill felt the need to emphasize yet again that the assaults happened a long time ago. It’s a strategy that we like to call “the Cosby defense.”



The girls also say they underwent “several steps” to help them cope with being abused, including extensive counseling.


The tabloid says that’s also a lie, as the girls didn’t receive any sort of treatment until after a police investigation prompted an investigation by social services.


It’s implied that Jim-Bob and Michelle Duggar sought help for their abused daughters only when they were worried that they might lose custody.


In Touch also alleges that the Duggars are guilty of various “lies of omission” – failing to address certain matters (such as the fact that they falsely alleged that Josh’s criminal records were released to the press illegally) that might further damage the family’s reputation. 


It all adds up to another reminder that Counting On is not an attempt to spark an open conversation about childhood sexual trauma, but is instead another part of the Duggars’ ongoing effort to get back into the public’s good graces.
