♪ it's "jimmy kimmel live" [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: hi, everybody. welcome. that's very nice. thank you, cleto. hi there, i'm jimmy. i'm the host. thank you for watching. thanks for being here. and i'm glad you are here because we have -- we got some big news. it was a big day for us here today. you may have heard about this or maybe not. abc, our network, announced today, and i hope this wasn't a prank, because it would be a very cruel thing to do. starting in january right around the ten-year anniversary, the show is moving from midnight to 11:35.

throwing off my feeding schedule. i know moving from midnight to 11:35 might not seem like a big deal, it's only 25 minutes but it's probably the most important 25 minutes of my life since the first 14 times i had sex. [ laughter ] and the big news is, oftentimes, people will come up to me and tell me your show's on too late for me. well, you're going to need a new excuse now. like, for instance, your show sucks. [ laughter ] starting in january, "nightline" will be on after us, but other than that, not much will change, although we are in negotiations to replace guillermo with mario lopez. i'm really sorry. [ boos ] >> that's okay. >> jimmy: i'm sorry, but sex sells, you know. [ laughter ] are you excited about this, guillermo? >> yeah, very excited, jimmy, because you're a great boss, great friend and a great human being. you deserve it. >> jimmy: no cue cards or anything. [ applause ] thank you, guillermo. i feel the same way about you, except for the boss thing. [ laughter ] >> all right. >> jimmy: i want to take a

moment to wish the senior citizens in our audience a happy senior citizens day. today was senior citizens day, so don't forget to have your grandparents -- [ applause ] spayed or neutered. in honor of senior citizens day today, i ate an entire bowl of hard candy and pretended not to know what a laptop was. [ laughter ] senior citizens day was made official by president reagan in 1988 to recognize the contributions the elderly do for this country. it's a great idea for a holiday, because there's nothing old people like more than having a special holiday to remind them they are indeed old. i remember showing my grandfather the internet. it's fun to pair new people up with new technology because they're extra-amazed by it. so tonight, in honor of senior citizens day, these are various grandmas and pas trying to figure out videochat. enjoy.

>> i don't hear it clicking, do you? do you hear it clicking? >> no. >> now, look at the monkey. >> can you do the capture? i put it on capture. >> we can hear you and see you. >> you can? >> that's what it says. >> we can't see you. >> here it is. oh, we got -- 16, 15, 14, 13 -- here, get closer. >> you can e-mail these to selected media, why won't it take a picture. take, foe photo -- oh, year. >> i don't know what we're going to do. we can hear you not see you, just keep trying. >> did you hear it click? did you hear it click? >> no. >> warning, you must stop recording before trying to close. cyberlink. oh, gee. i don't know -- i don't know what i'm recording, shucks.

>> now, did you hear it click now? >> no. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: there you go. no! they'll figure it out eventually. i hope the duchess of alba got a chance to celebrate senior citizens day. are you familiar with the duchess of alba? well, this is the duchess of alba. she's an 86-year-old spanish millionaire. last year, she married that gentleman, who you can see -- he's young enough to be her son but greedy enough to be her husband. [ laughter ] so -- luckily, for all of us today, photographs of the duchess in a bikini have surfaced online. did you want -- oh, you want to see one? okay. good. we happen to have one right here. there she is, frolicking in the mediterranean sea. this, to me, is scary than anything on shark week. i know seniors are supposed to stay active -- this is too active.

her assistant doesn't look great, either. the princeton review just released its annual list of top party schools in the united states. and america's number one party college for 2012 is west virginia university. west virginia students today celebrated by continuing to celebrate, i guess. but -- [ laughter ] if your kid goes to west virginia, don't worry, your kid doesn't drink, it's the other kids that drink. your did kid is like, hey, guys let's play word games. beer is for losers. the dean at west virginia said clearly, in the big picture the list has no credibility. this is the dean. they call him clean dean, because he's always in the bath. this is the third time the mountaineers have had this honor bestowed upon them. they were also named top party school in '97 and '07. and the worst party school, the school that ranked last was the online university of phoenix --

[ laughter ] the students had a big celebration there, too. >> we're going to get this party started. whoo whoo whoo -- >> shut the [ bleep ] up. i'm trying to watch the game! >> jimmy: well, you know, the parties are terrible, but the meal plan is perfect. [ applause ] the white house yesterday -- yesterday, the white house hosted something they called the first ever state dinner for kids. the dinner was actually not dinner, it was a luncheon put on with the first lady. the kids in attendance were winners of the nationwide recipe contest. they had a contest and challenged kids to come up with recipes for healthy meals. most of the recipes had cute names, kickin' chicken salad, power pesto pasta. and secret service super salad, the last one is served in a hooker's bra cup. one young lady who participated was madeleine.

she's from great falls, virginia. cnn interviewed madeleine. keep a close eye on her mother here. watch her mom's lips. >> madeline, congratulations, tell us what was the recipe that won you the trip. what inspired you? >> i know i love soup, i wanted to do soup, and then i went into a cookbook called "celebrate virginia." i looked what the state beverage of virginia was, it was milk, the first soup that came to my head that had milk in it was chowder. >> nice. >> jimmy: i don't know if her arm is up, she's working her daughter like a ventriloquist, but -- oh, there's more where that came from. >> what did you tell the first lady when you saw her? >> i saw her, i told her i was really glad to see her. and i was really excited for that day. >> okay.

madeleine, i know that you're taking japanese lessons. can you say anything in japanese to us like good-bye? >> sayonara. >> sayonara. >> jimmy: sayonara. sayonara. how do you say "run away" in japanese? moms get excited, i guess. as football fans know, there's a referee strike in the nfl right now. they're demanding more money and sillier shirts, something like that. because the regular refs are refusing work, the nfl had to use replacement refs for preseason games. last night, the patriots played the eagles. it might be a good idea to get the strike settled. >> jeremy ebert taking it over the 20-yard line. ryan rowe with the tackle. penalty marker back to where the kickoff returned. >> jimmy: get that away from me! it's all brown! he's not ready for

some football, i guess. there's some unsettling news in the world of pornography right now. last week, the l.a. county health department received five reports of adult actors contracting scontract ing syphilis. all shooting has been stopped until all 1,000 registered actors get tested for syphilis. they say this could result in l.a. losing 25% of its male ponytail population. [ laughter ] it's scary. it's scary to think. what if our supply of porn runs out? by my calculations, right now, online, there's on enough pornography to last us maybe 100 billion years, so -- [ laughter ] do we really -- do they need to make it? is anyone out there going, oh, that threesome is so 2008. on a more wholesome note, this is a great video. you saw this on youtube. a couple of brothers from houston, seth and aaron. their parents took them to see the new disney movie called "the odd life of timmy greene" over the weekend. the movie is about a couple that

can't conceive a child. one night, they write everything they want in a child on paper, they plant the paper in the garden and their wishes grow to a real boy named timothy greene. if you hate spoilers when it comes to half boy/half plant movies, go ahead and cover your ears, i'll wait for a second, all right? okay. at the end of the movie, timothy kind of dies. he doesn't really die, but he just kind of goes away. this upset seth and aaron so much that their parents had no other choice but to videotape them crying. >> what was the movie about? [ crying ] >> it was about timothy greene grow egg and he had to die. >> he had to die! [ crying ]

>> and it was so sad. >> what happened to timothy greene? >> all his leaves came off so he had to go. [ crying ] >> jimmy: you want to go play mini golf, kids? it's the saddest episode of "cash cab" ever. [ laughter ] by the way, that was just a small part of this hysteria. >> should people go and see this movie? >> yes, they do. yes. it will tear out your eyes. [ crying ] >> guys, want to go see the movie again? >> no. [ crying ] >> it's too sad. it's too sad. >> what did it tell you about what happens in life? >> you have to go. you have to go. >> why can't you stop crying?

>> because it's so sad. it's so sad. and there's so many happy and sad moments. >> jimmy: can i say i did the same thing the first time i saw "the notebook"? [ laughter ] they seem like nice kids, whenever i see kids like this in a video, i always wonder what they're going to be like when they grow up. that's why we came up with a brilliant new invention on the show. i call it the youtube time machine. what we're able to do is load a video in the machine and be able to see what those children will be like in the future, okay? so, we're going to set the youtube time machine to see what seth and aaron will be like in 40 -- in about 40 years. >> what happened to the cowboys? >> oh, they choked. they choked. >> do you want them to always win? >> yes. [ crying ] >> why can't you stop crying?

>> because it was so sad. >> jimmy: it's weird that their mom's still driving them. [ applause ] i'm just happy to see there's still football in 40 years. hey, we have a good show for you tonight. jordin sparks is here. we have music from andy grammer. and we'll be right back with chef gordon ramsay so stick around. ,, [ male announcer ] new from magnum ice cream. ♪ any day can have a magnum mini moment. magnum ice cream, now in a mini size. new magnum mini.

really see -- you really get hammered here from behind. >> and he gives me a little slap in the face in a minute. >> jimmy: yeah, he does. i don't know, is this some kind of tradition where after you seriously injure somebody, you give them a little slap and smear. >> honestly -- >> jimmy: who was that? >> teddy sheraton. amazing. >> jimmy: so he's a professional, this guy? >> he was a professional. that was for a unicef charity match, and honestly, i felt like i had been hit by a train. >> jimmy: that doesn't seem fair. did any of your teammates retaliate? did anyone -- >> they were too tired. >> jimmy: they were too tired? >> will had gone and it was a big guests there and -- sadly, after i got taken off, we got stuffed 3-1. >> jimmy: they lost. you are very muscular, i noticed. when you came out and i touched you --

[ laughter ] is it because you put yourself in so much danger each time you enter the kitchen and start fighting with the chefs there. >> i take care of myself. >> jimmy: yeah. what do you do, like triathlons, that kind of thing? >> i'm training for one in new zealand. ironman. >> jimmy: oh, that's the really hard one. that's the -- [ applause ] how many, what is that, that that's -- >> swim, bike ride and -- >> jimmy: wow. if i knew what that added up to, i'd be very impressed. a whole marathon. >> full marathon. >> jimmy: not just a marathon, but who other huge things. and this is all in one day. >> yes. >> jimmy: why do you do this? >> i eat like a horse. chefs don't have the best diet. i pick all day long. in order to continue at that level, coming up at great dishes, i need to stay fit. and i have a very, very active life. >> jimmy: really? >> yes. >> jimmy: because i like it when a chef is fat. [ laughter ] it makes me feel like things must be good in the kitchen.

i look at you and i wonder, i go, i don't know. >> i don't think shes should be fat. i was a fat chef once. >> jimmy: you were? i missed that. >> yeah. a long time ago. you go out to the table, it's uncomfortable. you're supposed to cook it, not [ bleep ] eat it. >> jimmy: yeah, well, you got to have a little taste, right? >> a taste. and that will stay in the back of your mind. don't have to finish it all. >> jimmy: do you eat a full big meal every time you sit down or little snacks or what? >> you can't really actually go and sit down and eat dinner before you cook dinner for 80 or 100 guests. you need to stay active. i don't think you can work on a full stomach. so, i like those little bits. almost like the asian influence, where you eat small little bowls. >> jimmy: when you're running in all that stuff, do you make yourself a little lunch? >> a little posh picnic. >> jimmy: i don't know. something like that. >> a little ahi tuna. >> jimmy: no? >> no.

i eat that sort of power bar. >> jimmy: you do? do you eat that stuff? can't you make your own, like, rolled up bar of some kind -- >> like a chocolate rollup bar. >> jimmy: this seems like something you could make money on, something delicious as you run. you know? >> there's nothing worse when you're on that sort of pch and you are going up there malibu, this time of year and everybody is barbecuing. and, 100 k, 80 k to go and your butt is killing because you're on this little tiny saddle and all of a sudden, oh, [ bleep ]. here we go. smell. you can identify the chicken drumsticks, you can smell the bacon. >> jimmy: when you're running buy, do you insult their cooking as you go? >> no one can see me with my hat and glasses on. i stay nice and calm. >> jimmy: you did an interesting thing, you went into a prison, as part of a reality show, not a

service for some crime. and you taught the prisoners how to cook. >> yeah, sort of a documentary for prisons, almost like a production kitchen where we cook from the inside to sell on the outside. and we have a really terrible situation in our prisons in the uk, over 90,000 inmates, cost 38 grand a year to stay in there. they lay in their bed for 21 hours a day and they get five choices per night -- >> jimmy: they do? >> yeah, they play soccer, they have dvds -- >> jimmy: that sounds fantastic. >> the idea what is to motivate these guys. get them stable and give them a second chance. >> jimmy: they have five choices of entrees in prison? >> i was like, if you don't give them the five choices, i'm -- [ bleep ] is going to hit the fan. even we don't have five choices a night at home. >> jimmy: in american prisons, that does not happen. our prisons would crush your prisons. literally eat your prisoners as their five entrees per night.

>> thinking of doing it over here. >> jimmy: i would imagine you don't yell at them as much as you do the people on the tv show? >> oh, no, i do. i lost -- we were working in one particular situation, making amazing little tarts and one guy flies across and head butts the other one and knives start flying -- >> jimmy: they can have knives? >> they need knives to wshg in the kitchen. yeah, yeah, it's full on. we lost one once and it disappeared, so, bang, security hit the button -- >> jimmy: i'm headed right back to london and i'm going to get arrested. this sounds like the best place ever. >> then all of a sudden, it's like a strip search to look for this four-inch blade. >> jimmy: did they find that? >> no. >> jimmy: they didn't? >> no. >> jimmy: where could one hide that? >> you'd be surprised. i'm not going to say that. you'd be surprised where those things can go. >> jimmy: when we come back, we talk about your new show "hotel hell" where you go into a hotel and make their life hell. gordon ramsay is here. we'll be right back. ,,

"hotel hell?" >> i've stayed in a lot of hotels, we have a little ten-bedroom boutique hotel in london. almost like "nightmare" but on a much bigger scale, turning them upside down and giving them a good shake. sadly, anyone can go and buy a hotel and they get carried away. but don't understand the actual customer is king. >> jimmy: do people buy hotels in the same way they buy restaurants, oh, this will be fun and they don't have any idea what they're doing? >> yeah. fall in love with the idea opposed to the reality of running a business and they get some pm what carried away. i was in one hotel in san diego. he said, i have it designed by the guy who designed ferrari. i said, well, i don't sleep in a [ bleep ] ferrari, do you? >> jimmy: not unless you're really drunk. >> and i was at a haunted hotel

>> jimmy: you look great. how are you? >> i am good. i'm good. >> jimmy: i feel like you're getting taller, is that possible? >> you might be shrinking. >> jimmy: i probably am shrinking. do you take pride in the fact that you're youngest "american idol" winner? >> i do. i do definitely. >> jimmy: if you saw a 16-year-old on the show, would you call and vote for the other person, just to make sure that you retain that -- >> i can't believe you just asked me that. ah -- i vote for all of them. >> jimmy: you can't vote for all of them. there's no point in voting for all of them. you might as well vote for none of them. >> right. the funny thing is, actually, i didn't really care the first year, i was like, cool -- i did care, hold on, let me rephrase that. then, afterwards, here's david and i thought he was going to win, he didn't. maybe the next year. and then the other person was older than me and the other person and now i'm kind of like, i kind of want to hold opt it. >> jimmy: you're holding on to

your record. that's natural. >> it's a crown and a sash. >> jimmy: well, your dad played in the nfl, played at arizona state. football player. [ applause ] >> yeah. hi, dad. >> jimmy: was he disappointed that you did not go to professional football, follow in his footsteps? >> he wasn't actually. i wanted to when i was younger. i grew up in a football family, my dad played, my brother played. i used to go to pop warner. and i remember seeing a girl and i was ready to go. i was like, mom, sign me up. and think were like, no, honey, that's not happening. >> jimmy: they wouldn't let you play? >> they were like, no. so i did music and that worked out. >> jimmy: you can tackle people, still, is that right? >> when i need to. >> jimmy: your boyfriend is a singer as well, jason derulo. >> yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: how long have you guys been going on? >> actually, we celebrated our first year anniversary on august 1st. >> jimmy: congratulations. does your dad like him? >> he does, actually.

my dad and my mom. they actually really like him. i get along really well with his parents. and my mom is a pretty hard sell, so, it was really nice when she was like, oh, he's so great. i was like, oh, thank god. >> jimmy: how long did it take? >> my mom was a huge fan of his music before things changed between us. she actually was the one who dragged me to his show three years ago when we first met and i didn't want to be there. >> jimmy: oh, so your mother's in love with him? >> yes. >> jimmy: how did you guys celebrate your anniversary? >> actually, he was on his way to australia. so, i was here, performing at the grove and he was going to australia and what he did, which was really sneaky, was, he sent me this e-mail, he was like, make sure you check the desk before you go upstairs. and so i did, and there were some really pretty stud earrings. you want to see? >> jimmy: so you're wearing those? and the other matches? >> the other matches. it's a carat bigger, so, this

side of my head -- >> jimmy: it's better when they match. it makes sense. that's very smooth. did you look them up to find out how much they cost afterwards? >> no. no. i didn't. because i really, honestly, i wasn't expecting it at all. i was like, whatever, we'll celebrate when we get back. so, when he -- >> jimmy: so you didn't get him anything? >>, no, i did. i ordered him a really cool pocket watch that says "i will love you every second of every day" and -- >> jimmy: that's nice. >> and it's got a really funky chain. it doesn't look all dainty. >> jimmy: i don't care if it looks dainty. >> i'll get you a dainty one. >> jimmy: thank you. have the same inscription so if i run into him, i'll be like, oh -- >> jason, check this out. >> jimmy: now, you are acting in this movie. whitney houston personally picked you to be in this movie with her. is that true? >> when you put it that way, it just makes it -- oh, my gosh. well, she was executive producer and this was something she had been working on for a really

long time, so, she did have a hand in helping cast and picking, you know, the actresses and actors for the roles, so, it was amazing to be working across from her. it was amazing to be working across from her. >> jimmy: did you have to audition for her? >> not for her, actually but i did go through a crazy audition process. it was crazy to me because i had never done it before. >> jimmy: you did it for like 16 weeks in a row on "american idol." >> but that's different. okay, that's different. you give me a microphone, that's cool. i got this. going in there and trying to have the same mindset as the director, trying to get the character close to what they're thinking -- it was so nerve wracking, but i -- i think i did okay. >> jimmy: obviously, you did okay. do you think that experience doing that on television helped you with that? >> yeah, actually. "american idol" is the ultimate pressure cooker when it comes to anything like that. you're learning songs in essentially a couple of hours and doing press and meanti imeeh the mentors and singing their

songs in front of them. >> jimmy: and you're a teenager and they're tormenting you. >> exactly. and then i did school on top of that. it was definitely crazy. but that definitely helped. >> jimmy: tell us what's going on in his photograph. >> i love this picture. we were waiting for the camera to turn around. we're shooting the dinner scene. when you guys see the movie, you'll knoll what i'm talking about. >> jimmy: that's you right there. >> we were up there just waiting, trying to lift our spirits so we started dancing -- >> jimmy: i don't think people realize, that's whitney houston there, she's wearing '60s clothing. >> she looks so beautiful there. we got up there, my ipod came on, "teach me how to dougie" came on -- we're mid-dougie there in the photo. it came on, we were all dancing, she walked in and we all kind of like paused. >> jimmy: did she say, teach me how to dougie? [ laughter ] >> not in those words, but yeah, i want to do that, too. she just came over and started dancing with us. she was so fun. shooting that entire movie -- it

was incredible to be around her and around the rest of the cast. and i think the movie is so much better than even more amazing than i thought it was going to be. and it's gritty and there's some dark twists. you know, there's the music, obviously. >> jimmy: there's a duet between you and whitney. >> there's a duet. yes. >> jimmy: is that intimidating? she's got one of the greatest voices ever. in the room, singing with her? >> we actually didn't get to record it together. >> jimmy: oh. that's probably for the best, right? i mean -- >> i probably would have just been like, i'm going to shut up and i'm going to walk over here and let her just sing the rest of the song. >> jimmy: then it's not a duet anymore. >> it might have been for the best that we weren't together. but you know, she went in did her part and i came in and did a few more and it was so fun to be able to hear her in the background, singing the song. >> jimmy: i would imagine so. congratulations. i'm glad everything is going so well for you. "sparkle" is in theaters now. jordin sparks, everybody.

we'll be right back with andy grammer. ,,
