"american idol" judge paula abdul wrote on her twitter page that see -- she will not return for season nine of the show. she told me that in an april interview she did hope to be back. abdul thanked her fans and said she'll miss nurturing young talent who will simon pick on now? that's our report for tonight. from all of us at abc news, good night, america. hi, i'm jimmy kimmel, and this is the brand new madden nfl 10. this year madden has a new feature called pro-tak. a brand new, game-changing animation technology. now, the play isn't over until the whistle blows. which means you can make steerable tackles, have pileups with up to nine players and control a brand new blocking system. so each play lets you feel what it's like to fight for every yard. madden nfl 10 doesn't come out

until august 14, but we're giving one away to a lucky pedestrian tonight. who was hopefully listening to everything i said, because he/she is about to be quizzed. cousin sal is outside. hello, cousin sal. >> how are you? >> how are you? good. who is this gentleman we have this us? >> this is stevie. you know stevie? >> no, i don't know stevie. where you from? >> stockton, california. >> what do you do for a living? >> right now i'm unemployed. >> you're what? >> i'm unemployed. >> there's no d in front of the word. okay. stevie, did you hear everything i said about madden nfl 10? >> yes, sir. >> if you answer correctly you get an advanced copy, but if you get it wrong my cousin sal gets to permanently glue this rainbow wig to your head.

>> all right. >> with the new pro-tak feature t pileup can have how many players? >> nine. >> nine is absolutely right. wow. >> sorry, sal, i don't know what to tell you. sorry. all right. well, somebody got it anyway. >> madden nfl 10. fight for every yard. in stores friday, august 14. >> "jimmy kimmel live," back in two minutes with music from the script and ashton kutcher, and jake byrd at the jackson custody trial. it's the ideal learning environment because of that,

that intimacy; it's very personal. to be able to communicate directly with your teacher instead of being in a class of 300 makes all the difference in the world. there's math lab, there's writing lab, there's just so many resources available to you. it gives you real world experience; i have the information directly from people who are working in the field. you get experience and knowledge from people who are all across the nation. - my name is adam. - deanna. tavares and i am a phoenix. would you hang out with your mother in law? what would you do .now that is has... a thicker, more chocolatey shell? right there. i got it. ♪ what would you do-oo-oo for a klondike bar? ♪

>> announcer: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight -- ashton kutcher. jake byrd at the michael jackson custody hearing. and music from the script.

with cleto and the cletones. and now, can you believe it, here's jimmy kimmel! captions paid for by abc, inc. hi, everyone. i'm the host of the show. my name is jimmy, and i'm here to excite your minds and warm your hearts, so get them ready, i get. the big news around these parts, an earthquake measuring 6.9 on the richter scale hit the baja area. it was felt as far away as san

diego. fortunately, no one was hurt. it did break out a dozen pin janas. when i say that 6.9, that's our measurement. in mexico, thai don't use the richter scale. they use something called the guillermometer. here's how it works. you can see. we've got a guy, there's guillermo. >> and when he feels shaking, he's able to measure it. >> cuatro -- >> 4.7. according to how much his margaritas sloshes around. that's a pretty good -- >> ay yi yi. >> yeah. [ laughter ] >> oh, [ bleep ]. [ laughter ] >> there's the one we pray never happens. >> yeah. >> can i get another one? >> guillermo's life.

i want to wish happy birthday to barack obama. the president turned 48 years, if he was ever really born, that is. i guess on that defends if you believe his birth certificate or not, but his birthday is a reminder of why healthcare is so important. as you know, due to a lack of healthcare coverage, his mother was turned away from a number of hospitals and was forced to give birth in a manger. [ laughter ] but it all worked out. do you know this is an interesting birthday fact, do you know it's a federal offense to put the president through a spanking machine on his birthday. the first lady got him a brand new pair of her jeans for his birthday. but what do you get for the man who has oprah, you know? white house secretary robert gibbs was asked yesterday how the president would be spending

his birthday. it sounded like there was no fun planned at all. >> the senate democrats will come down to the white house tomorrow and have lunch here with the president. um, and as the president's birthday, chuck e. cheese was booked. and do you know who booked it? that guy right there. it's impossible to get him out of the house. meanwhile, former president bill clinton is on his way home from north korea right now. he made a surprise visit to attempt to secure the release of two female american journalist, two young, shapely, attractive journalists who were imprisoned by north korean police after they illegally crossed the border from china. i don't know what he said to kim jong il, but it worked because they released them. and i have to say it was nice to see bill clinton get a release he's not impeached for for a

change. right? [ laughter ] the rumor is they made a deal. kim jong il gave the women a special pardon and in return he got 20 pairs of hillary's pantsuits. so a little something to spruce up his wardrobe. [ laughter ] so that's pretty impressive. he frees the prisoners and brings them back. that's like rambo. by the way, now plenty of time for the ladies to say thanks on the long plane ride home. and may god help any nation that tries to kidnap megan fox! one thing i noticed from the pictures of the trip, check this out. here's kim jong il. seated there. and here's mahmoud our members only jacket of iran, the only uniform of the psyche coe pathic leader is the zip-up. see, they should all be deported. this something, because of the

economy, the postal service is being forced to close several hundred post offices around the country. the postal service is facing a $7 billion budget short fall this year. in addition, they're raising the price of a first-class stamp. it will now be $4,000. [ laughter ] and it's a shame to see people out of work, but i have to admit i am looking forward to hearing postal workers complain how slow the lines are at the unemployment office. right? [ laughter ] this weekend, x games 15 took place here in los angeles. the gold medal women, it's called the super x, went to ashley, who has been deaf since birth. and it was pretty cool to see her win and even cooler to see kristen garrett attempt to interview her after the event. >> all right, ashley, i saw a sign that said patterns and you got the mistake that you wanted. how does this gold medal feel?

>> it's awesome right now. >> i want to look at the mic move again. how does this feel in her face, and he just pulls -- oh, go over right over. in fairness, there's a lot of pot smoking at the games. and jon and kate returned to television last night. the show continues even though jon and kate do not, and i saw this on the internet, people are selling team kate and team jon t-shirts. you can publicly pick a side which is nice. i'm selling a t-shirt. i'm on team who cares? it looks -- >> you look great. that's good. >> so far we're outselling the other two combined by about nine to one. this is an interesting theme. the mozart foundation has announced two long unidentified

pieces of music were written by mozart when he was 7 years old. one of the pieces is called -- which in english means you're not the boss of me. the announced news in salts burg on sunday and where an austrian pianist performed it on his own piano. >> researchers have unveiled two piano pieces recently identified as childhood creations by the legendary composer. ♪ book and it's believed it was written when he was 6, 7 or 8 years old. >> perhaps the finest admission ever. yesterday here in l.a. michael

jackson's mother katherine was awarded permanent custody of the three children. one strange thing, her husband joe jackson -- this is true, signed a statement that said he only visits the house occasionally and will not be involved in raising the kids. he will only stop by when he needs a new pencil to draw in his new eyes and mustache. this is like dracula signing a statement not to promise to bite necks. they want to change the youngest boy's blanket's name. they want to change it to slanket. they have an endorsement deal -- that's not true. not everything surrounding the jackson family is strange, but this is odd. this is the way that the court decided to award custody. tell me if this seems unusual to you. >> custody of michael jackson's three children was granted today at a los angeles courthouse. after carefully reviewing the details of the case, superior

court judge went for the wheel of custody. and the legal guardian is -- katherine jackson. katherine jackson takes home all three children and a stuffed pooh. congratulations to katherine jackson. [ applause ] >> i don't know. i had to whack a mole like 700 times to get my kids. michael jackson's super fan jake first -- jake byrd found his way to the custody hearing. >> the jackson hearing attracted a comedian. >> nice job, you nailed it. >> take a couple more questions. >> the trial of the century. >> if you're a fan of the "jimmy kimmel live," you'll notice the

heckler at the o.j. simpson trial as well as when paris hilton was released from jail. >> he's not a heckler, he's a fan. and on the show tonight, ashton kutcher is here. we have music from the script. and when we come back, jake byrd at the jackson custody hearing, we'll be right back. - ( microphone feedback ) - whoa. hi, i'm john. all: hi, john! going to college and need a laptop. what do you got? you, in the top corner. our next class laptops could be perfect for you. we got student feedback and designed them specifically for college. are they legit brands, though? boom! we partnered with hp, toshiba, sony and dell. okay. uh, what's the square root of 841? 29. announcer: laptops designed for college and thousands of people eager to help.

[ laughter ] >> i don't know if it would be good for raising three kids right now. >> but she has joe jackson as a helper and if joe jackson is able to sprinkle his talent dust on them, his belt is going to end up in the rock and roll hall of fame. >> joe jackson ruined the first family, he doesn't need another
