so, the 2010 hour glass still has a vanishing bit of sand up top, but this is our last report for the year. we've leave tomorrow's countdown to midnight to you, dick clark and ryan seacrest, and we'll see you next year. may you and yours have a happy, healthy 2011. for terry moran, cynthia

mcfadden and all of us at abc news, good night, america. >> dicky: it's the "jimmy kimmel live" fantasy league. presented by gmc. >> hi, i'm jimmy kimmel. >> and i'm his cousin sal. >> jimmy: well, the season has been a magical one. it's come to an end, and a champion has been crowned. >> let's find out who came out

on top. >> okay. >> congratulations to dax shepard who completes a stunning late-season charge and get as huge upset of the sports guy bill simmons. >> i'm flooded with emotion, cousin sal. and now if we could slow things down for a minute, let's take a moment to look back at the season that was. >> you find my tone demeaning? get used to it. there's going to be a lot of demeaningness. >> i am not a communist. it's ridiculous. >> tell it to your friend hitler. >> you told him? >> man, this sucks. >> do you really think that any of this is real? this is a fantasy. >> i'm -- i -- >> try to touch the fridge.

what a lame fantasy. >> dicky: to follow all the action all season long, go to the "jimmy kimmel live" youtube channel and click on fantasy league for scores, videos and more. >> jimmy: "jimmy kimmel live," back in two minutes with paul bettany, music from little big town and helen mirren.

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that's very nice. thank you, i'm jimmy. appreciate that. thank you for being here. welcome to the show. it's -- it's a holiday evening, tonight is the eighth and final night of hanukkah. and anyone celebrating hanukkah here tonight? all employees. [ laughter ] i tell you what, eight presents

per kid is a lot to come up with. i have trouble coming up with two good things for my kids. if i was locked into an eight-present deal, there would be a lot of batteries and notes that say, "isn't us being together enough of a gift?" [ laughter ] the white house christmas tree is lit. it took four and a half days to set it up. you know how much twine it takes to strap a pine tree to the hood of air force one? a lot. someone at the white house shot time lapse video of the tree being brought in and decorated. well, look at this. ♪ >> jimmy: oh, bo, the white house dog, what will you pee on next? i think that was a wikileak, by the way. [ laughter ] thank you.

we have a decorating tradition here at our show. it isn't on the level of the white house, of course, but for us it's a big deal. every year, around this time, we trim guillermo. just everyone pitches in, you know, takes just a moment out of their day to pin something on guillermo. he loves it. right guillermo? you like it. whatever we try to string popcorn on him he eats it, so we gave up on that this year. and you can see -- he's quite beautiful. quite festive. and -- this ends tragically, i'm going to tell you right now. oh, bo. that's -- [ applause ] there you go. isn't he -- [ applause ] thank you, guillermo. for being so patient. tonight, president obama made a cameo on the show "mythbusters."

he did it to promote science education. they released a new study today that american school children ranked 25th in the world in math, 17th in science and 14th in reading. which, according to my calculations, means we're in third place. [ laughter ] that's not bad at all. the number one ranking in all three categories went to china, which is the first time that's ever happened. if you think about it, it makes sense. they have a lot more chinese kids to cheat off of in class over there. the good news, we're still killing them in p.e., recess and shop. that's right! [ applause ] i think. maybe not. you know, this "mythbusters" is a show that the president says he watches with his kids. but it's odd to see a sitting president on a reality show. clinton's been on the kardashians a half dozen times, but never while in office, right? obama, though, i found out today, isn't the first president to appear on a reality show.

i forgot about this, but president bush was actually the first guy ever to be on. remember this? >> thank you all very much. >> just keep that area in front of the door clear right now. >> jimmy: it was not the best "punk'd" ever but what are you going to do? [ applause ] paint the president's house? there are big changes being planned for next season on "american idol." number one, no singing next year. [ applause ] maybe that wouldn't be a bad idea. according to the hollywood reporter, the plan this season is to have the top 12 live in a house together. contestants to interact with fans and tweet. which they haven't in the past. and every week, each departing contestant will be force-fed a cordless microphone. i like the house idea.

imagine, really, how much more exciting season six would have been if you knew, like, how mad jordan sparks got when sanjaya used her conditioner. right? [ laughter ] . in other reality show news, mtv has announced on new year's eve, you know the ball that drops in times square? they're putting snooki in it. [ laughter ] they really are. she's -- [ applause ] she's two feet tall, so, she'll fit. to her it's like an oversized tanning sphere. and when she hits the ground, they're going to bowl with her. does mtv realize this is a girl not in a ball hundreds of feet in the air? you know, if the ufos finally show up and see us chanting for snooki in an enormous mirrored orb, they'll probably assume she's our queen. and they'll probably destroy our civilization as a result of that. speaking of our queen, our real queen, tomorrow night, oprah sits down with barbara walters for barbara's annual most

fascinating people of 2010 special. a clip of the oprah interview aired this morning on "good morning america," and one of the things barbara asked oprah about is the persistent rumor that she is gay. >> so when those, to me, dumb rumors come up that you are -- >> are gay? >> what do you say? >> well, i have said, we are not gay enough times. i'm not lesbian. i'm not even kinda lesbian. >> oh, really? you're not lesbian. then, how do you explain your marriage to portia di rossi? oh, different host? i -- i get confused. i don't see color, that's the thing. i don't. i'm color blind. [ applause ] thank you. you know, it's kind of sad, maybe oprah is gay and would like to come out, but she just doesn't have the forum, you oprah did get very emotional talking about her best friend gae.

she even cried, which, that had to be on barbara's bucket list, right, making oprah cry? score one for b.w. there. now all that's left is a tensome with thunder from down under and i think she's done. oprah did, indeed, break down talking about gayle. here's just a sample of the sobbing we'll get to see tomorrow night in its entirety. >> i don't know a better person. i don't know a better person. >> why is it making you cry? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: why does that make me nervous, seeing oprah cry? you know, the last time oprah cried, it lasted 40 days and 40 nights. they had to build an ark and put all the animals on it. oprah is a very savvy businesswoman, though. everything she touches she somehow makes money off of, and this breakdown with barbara is no exception. the full interview hasn't aired yet. already, the harpo machine is capitalizing on it.

>> barbara walters brought oprah to tears. >> shoot, i wasn't going to cry here. >> now, we've collected those tears, and are making them available to you. oprah tears. oprah tears cure blindness. paralysis. oprah tears remove vehicle rust. oprah tears kill mosquitoes fast. oprah tears give hair to the bald. let oprah fatears make you a ma again. and much, much more. oprah tears. >> available at walgreens! >> jimmy: i'd like to get some of those.

"sarah palin's alaska," she ge s s flown around alaska to places she's never visited and pretends to know all about them. kate gosselin is a big ratings so, they are pulling out every stop to promote this most unholy union. >> this sunday, two of america's most unbearable women join forces to hunt the world's biggest game by annoying it to death. watch as kate gosselin nags a grizzly bear for over 25 miles, relentlessly belittling it until its self-esteem is hopelessly shot. and then sarah palin talks about the great state of alaska until sarah and kate annoy alaska. this sunday, only on tlc.

>> jimmy: well, i will be watching. i have to admit. one more thing. you know, there are so many holiday specials running right now. some of them have been around since the '60s and some of them we've seen too many times. every year, frosty melts and he freezes back up again. tomorrow night on abc family, they're showing one of my -- maybe my favorite, "the year without a santa claus." this is the one with the heat miser and the snow miser. i've seen it at least 40 times. so, to spice it up a little, to make it a little more timely, we removed the original audio from the original special, and replaced it with audio from the barbara walters interview with justin bieber that airs tomorrow night. and i -- holiday classic, i think you'll agree, has been reborn. >> so, recently, there was a picture taken of you and a girl in the backseat of a car. what were you doing? >> ah, well, i was just -- i don't know, i was just kissing her, that's about it. >> tell me more. >> it just kind of happened. and, i don't know, it's not really weird.

is it weird? >> no. >> i think every 16-year-old kisses girls, right? >> yes. >> so, that's nothing out of the ordinary. >> so, when those dumb rumors come up that you are gay, what do you say? >> i don't know. i didn't even know anybody was taking pictures. it just kind of happened. >> jimmy: justin got his hair frosted. we have a good show tonight. paul bettany is here. we have music from little big town. and we'll be right back with helen mirren.

>> jimmy: well, it's a pleasure to have you here. can i be honest? i feel like curtsying or something. >> jimmy: i don't know how, though. >> i'll show you how. i had to do it for the queen. >> jimmy: sure. you have to. >> i had a dress on -- >> jimmy: see, that's what i would have done.

buckingham palace in my head and the idea that you live around here -- >> i live just off hollywood boulevard. >> jimmy: that is -- that couldn't be farther from buckingham palace. you're near the magic castle. >> absolutely. and where poor janice met her end, janis joplin, you know, just around the corner. in fact, my house is sort of -- you know, they have that tour, that shows you where all the dead people died? my house is kind of, nearly on that tour. >> jimmy: terrific. that's just what you want. >> but i love hollywood. i always have. it's changed so much. >> jimmy: how long have you been here? >> 20 years. in the neighborhood. and it's changed hugely. >> jimmy: do you think for the better? >> yes, it has changed for the better. >> jimmy: there are fewer runaways around. >> yes, yes. >> jimmy: the runaways have become parents whose own children are preparing to run away. when you moved here from england, which i assume where you moved from, like, what's the

best thing about moving to california? >> oh, the old cars. all brits when they first come to hollywood get an old car. an old mustang, usually a '67. white-wall wheels. >> jimmy: why is that? >> i don't know, because it's iconic california americana to us, and we think they're fantastic. until we realize that it's hot here and you've got no air conditioning and stuff like that. and then you grow up and you get -- >> jimmy: you're stuck in the parking lot at target every saturday. somebody was telling me when you first moved out here, one of the first things you did was get a dog. >> well, my husband and i got a dog, yes, as soon as we kind of got together. >> jimmy: why no dog in england? >> i was always traveling too much. and we sort of finally settled down. but you know, our dog went missing at one point and it's great to be right here because right around the corner was where i ultimately found my dog. but you know, it was --

>> jimmy: how long was the dog gone? >> oh, ghost -- he was called ghost -- >> jimmy: well, that explains why he disappeared. >> i know. he was always doing disappearing acts. but it was absolutely true. that's why we called him ghost. so -- anyway, so, and also after a character in one of my husband's movies. but -- yeah, he just disappeared. he was gone for, like, three weeks, maybe more, four weeks. >> jimmy: really? >> i want to every dog pound in los angeles, and they're all right on the outskirts of los angeles, and they're, you know, sad places to visit -- >> jimmy: yeah. you didn't find ghost at any of them? >> never found ghost. and then i was looking in "the l.a. times," i saw an advertisement, lost a dog, we'll find him. >> jimmy: a pet detective? >> like a pet detective. >> jimmy: you weren't looking at a jim carrey movie poster? >> no, but i understand they're very good at sniffing butts. >> jimmy: we all are if we dig down deep enough.

how would a detective find a dog? >> i don't know. they call hundreds of people up in your neighborhood, kind of thing. >> jimmy: so you hired them? >> i did. i called them up, i said, i want the top of the line, the most expensive service you've got. well, that will be $200. okay, no problem. they come around, they take the pictures of the dog and all the details and they go away. i give them the $200. literally about 15 minutes later, i get this call, they say, hi, i got -- do you have a dog called ghost? i said yes. i've got him. i went, wow, that detective was really fast. i can't believe it. i said, are you -- is ghost -- yeah, he's called ghost, he's got ghost -- he was tattooed with our phone number. yeah, i got him. i said, where are you? i'm at the corner of hollywood and highland. >> jimmy: right here. >> right around the corner. that's what i mean, it's so great to be here. so i drove down in my has tang

and i look across the road, there is our dog, skinny, skinny, skinny, with this young girl, you know -- >> jimmy: he's dating her now? [ laughter ] >> i think he was. >> jimmy: wow. >> it was 9:00 in the morning. she was wearing heels like i'm wearing, bare legs, bruised and this -- her hair all like this, and, you know, she was a working hollywood girl. >> jimmy: i got you. >> not like julia roberts in "pretty woman." >> jimmy: so ghost got to see interesting stuff then. >> so ghost had this whole hollywood life that i don't know anything about. god knows what he witnessed, you know. >> jimmy: no kidding. >> but it was great to have him back. he would give me a look after that, going, i've seen stuff. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: this new movie is an adaptation of "the tempest." >> yes, it's by a writer called shakespeare. >> jimmy: i've heard of him. i was forced to read his work in school. >> oh, that's wrong. that's a bad thing.

>> jimmy: when someone adapts shakespeare, you have to be careful, right? >> well, you know, we don't adapt it -- >> jimmy: he'll come back from the dead. >> haunt you, yes. stab you with his pen. no, it -- it's not really an adaptation, it's the play, as it is. the only differences is that the leading role, which is called prospero, which is usually a man's role, is played by me as a woman. so, that changes the whole sort of dynamic. >> jimmy: still named prospero? >> not, prospera. >> jimmy: oh, well, there you go. >> an easy change. like if it was hamlet, it would be hamletta. >> jimmy: we have a clip from the movie. >> you do? oh, good. the original sword and sorcery story, "the tempest." as i guess you will see from the clip. do we need to set this up? >> no, it's just a magic moment. >> jimmy: if you have homework due, just pay attention and you can fake it.

it's "the tempest." >> call forth the mutinous wind. twix the green sea and the azure. set roaring wall to the rattling thunder have i given fire and rifted with his own bolt. strong beast, have i made shake. by the spurs plucked up the pine and cedar. graves at my command have wake their sleepers opened. learn forth in my so potent art. >> jimmy: wow. and -- and that was -- i assume the fire wasn't really happening around you -- >> no, it was. the fire was happening, yeah. >> jimmy: was that hawaii that you shot that in? >> in hawaii, yeah. amazing. volcanic hawaii. >> jimmy: had you been there before? >> yes, i had, funny enough. a long time before. in fact, you know, my first

movie i ever made was with james mason, i'm swimming named in the water? >> jimmy: can i be honest with you? i watched that online yesterday. >> "age of consent," you didn't? >> jimmy: only the nude parts. [ applause ] thank you. there's something wrong with me, i know. but what are you going to do? >> anyway. it's the first movie i ever made and i was like 21 or something. i had never -- i hardly -- i don't think i've ever been on an airplane before and i was flown from england to australia, but stopping off in hawaii on the way. so, i just got this movie and money and stuff for the first time in my life, and it was a time, kind of late '60s in england and the fashion was to wear leather, you know, and i went off and i spent a fortune buying this leather suit, which i thought was so cool, you know, really, i was this ridiculous fat little english girl in a leather suit, mini skirt, it was ridiculous. so i get on the plane in my leather suit, you know, and all

excited. the morning, step off the plane -- i'm instantly dying with the heat in leather, can you imagine, in hawaii. i didn't know that heat could be like that. >> jimmy: oh, yeah. >> so i get off the plane and everybody -- it's the last plane to arrive in hawaii, everyone is being met and given those lovely things they give the flowers, the leis, and one by one and i'm looking for the person meeting me. no one. and the airport empties out, it's completely empty, it's 2:00 in the morning, it's before credit cards and stuff. i had absolutely no money, none i didn't know where i was supposed to be. i was like, in a panic. i never -- sweating in my leather suit. so i started crying. i was like, i -- what am i supposed to do? i was in a panic. i saw this sign in the corner of the airport saying "lost and found" and i thought -- that's me. i'm lost and i need to be found. and i walk in and i never forget it. there was this -- >> jimmy: a hooker found you.

[ laughter ] >> no, the opposite. there was this cop, this american cop sitting there, you know, big fat, in the heat of the night, you know, sitting there like this, you know, big fat belly and sweat under here, you know, and a gun. i had never seen a policeman with a gun. i was like, terrified. oh, my god. and i was crying and he said, yeah, what do you want? i said, i'm lost and i need to be found and he said -- my bags, you know -- and he said, i explained to him the whole situation. he said, we'll sort you out. he picked up the phone, first hotel he called i was booked into. he said, i'll take you there. he put me in the police car, he put his blue lights on. >> jimmy: wow. you got a police escort to the hotel. >> with the light going. >> jimmy: well, that's american hospitality for you. >> it was. you know what?

[ applause ] and you guys have plans for the holidays? her 40th birthday this weekend. >> jimmy: oh. wow. do have a gift? >> i do. i do have a gift, yeah. it's been crazy, because gifts build up, you know, each year, you have to kind of surpass the and there's a lot of stress involved, so -- i realized last year that -- well, last, building up to last year that the year after would be her 40th

and that it was going to be impossible to get her the right gift. so, what you have to do is, you have to take one on the chin and buy her some pots. and then you -- which is a dreadful gift. >> jimmy: it's not a great gift. >> i bought her pots. she's going to be happy if i get her an ipod nano, or something. engraved, you know -- >> jimmy: was she happy with the pots? >> no. >> jimmy: she was not happy. did she hit you over the head with any of them? >> she was secretly furious. well, as long as she keeps it a secret, nobody's hurt. this year, you have -- i know you can't say what it is, but you have something that you feel confident will satisfy her? >> i've got something marvelous. >> jimmy: you do? >> yeah, i've got something marvelous. >> jimmy: and do your children get gifts for their mom or do you get it for them and put their name on it?

>> i get it for them and i pretend it's them and i secretly tell her so i manage to absorb all of the -- >> jimmy: yeah, you take it all. [ laughter ] you just hog it all for yourself. >> yes. of course. >> jimmy: how old are the kids? >> one is 7 and one is 13. >> jimmy: so, do you -- i know you live in vermont, you have a place there, so, do you go there for christmas? >> yeah, we -- >> jimmy: all the snow happens. >> it's beautiful. and i was -- i was born in england, and it never snows in england, except for last week. >> jimmy: for real? >> no, it never snows. christmas, you always think is snowy because charles dickens, the bastard. he wrote -- he had, like, four white christmases during his youth, and so he endlessly wrote these white christmases, and that is a mixture for childhood disappointment. so the moment i came to america, i bought a place in the -- up in the mountains in vermont so i could be guaranteed -- >> jimmy: are you kidding me?

i always imagine that being the center of christmas, really. >> no, it's just [ bleep ] miserable. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: wow. that is -- that's disappointing. >> it's gray, it rains. it's miserable. >> jimmy: do they celebrate christmas the same way in england as we do here? >> we do it mostly the same way, except you have -- you have a really great difference, which is, in america, your tradition is to put the christmas stockings, right, on the fireplaces, unless you live in a condo or whatever, but -- but you put them on the fireplaces. where in england, we put them on the kid's beds, which is really unsettling when you think about a big fat, you know, guy in a fur suit and, you know, black leather boots coming into their room, stuffing their stockings. >> jimmy: yeah, you're right. >> and it's an enormous amount of pressure on the parent because you can be drunk as you like and fill stockings by a fireplace but if -- my dad, i

remember, this comes out late. i remember when i realized that santa wasn't real was my -- my drunk father stumbling into my room and i -- i woke up and i saw him stuffing stuff into my stocking and he went -- ho ho ho. and then walked out. and that was -- [ applause ] >> jimmy: well, what are you going to do? now, this movie, "the tourist," had you worked with angelina jolie and/or johnny depp before? >> no, and i think they were nervous. >> jimmy: they were? >> i tried to put them at their ease. >> jimmy: how did you do that? >> i don't know, you know, i just tried to explain to them i was a normal guy like them and -- you know, this was -- i know this is the first paul bettany movie you've ever been in. let's, you know -- >> jimmy: you set a relaxed tone. >> i'm very normal. yeah. >> jimmy: and you enjoyed working with them, i assume? >> no, it was awful. no, they -- they were lovely
