finally tonight, a remembrance of a colleague and friend, dominick dunne who died yesterday after a long battle with bladder cancer. he created his own beat at the intersection of power, money and justice and fame came to him late. in 1982, his daughter was strangled by a former boyfriend who confessed but served on

2 1/2 years in prison. outraged, he dedicated the rest of his life to reporting on the trials and tribulations of the high and mighty and low and um seemly. to the famous front row seat at the o.j. simpson trial, he was unfailingly on the side of the victim. he had his long-time friend and editor at "vanity fair" tina brown said, a sticky magic that drew stories to him. it drew people to him as well. dominick dunne was 83. that's our report for tonight. "jimmy kimmel live" is up next. from all of us at abc news, good night, america. hi, i'm jimmy kimmel, and this is the samsung jack. a brand new crossover device in the tradition of the blackjack and blackjack two. with a built-in 3.2 mega pixel camera that allows you to shoot, post and share high-quality photos instantly.

>> hi. thank you. thank you. i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. for those of you visiting from out of town, sorry we're on fire. the whole town is very hot right now. it was 100 degrees here in l.a. and to add to the fun, pretty much everything is amaze. there are three wildfires burning around us right now. l.a. county health officials are telling people not to under any circumstances inhale. so what a perfect way to end the summer. this is kind of our deal with god. we get to make all the pornography we want, and in turn he sets the city on twice a year. the fire department put out a statement today israeling all -- urging all miniature enthusiasts

to suspend their plans until march. and michael vick was back on the football field for the first time in more than two years tonight. necessary in court this morning -- he was in court in morning in virginia and then he joined his team the eagles for a preseason game. they were worried there would be trouble between the animal rights activists and supporters from the naacp of michael vick. dozens of people showed from the animal shelter who did not like michael vick and these two showed up to support michael vick. he's very popular among cats. they actually got a lot of clears from the philly crowd. fans were even wearing his jersey, but it was obvious to me even from the limited time he played in the game that this guy

still hasn't learned a thing. [ laughter ] i mean, that's ridiculous! >> wow. >> i mean, it really is ridiculous. the turnout for protests against republican and democratic plans for healthcare reform are not slowing down. these town hall meetings, there's people -- it ago like the whole country is turning into an episode of jerry springer. at phoenix yesterday, a woman started screaming crazy conspiracy theories at senator john mccain. he had to throw her out of the place which to me is no play to treat a former running mate. it really is. you know, when i want to see crazy people screaming i turn to daytime television. this is from a recent edition of judge mathis. forget the plaintiff. see if you notice a familiar face in the crowd. >> the woman has something from her churchsaying she has a

certificate of covenant membership.95 -- excuse me. >> that looks a little bit like shaq, doesn't it? [ cheers and applause ] why he was there. he's here tonight. he's everywhere really. he's at all shows at all times. this is quite a blunder. the u.s. government as part of the economic recovery plan i guess accidentally sent $250 stimulus checks to prisoners in prison. wy sounds like a bad -- which sounds like a bad idea to everybody but president obama. >> these letters i think do more to keep me in touch with what's happening around the country than just about anything else. this one, for example, with all the huge money difficulties facing our country thought you

might like to see how somebody spent their $250 stimulus money. you know, you get letters like that and it gives you a sense of what's best about america. and, it inspires you. >> yeah. sure. well, you know, they're criminals. the tools of be told". they follow people with unusual obsessions. last night they followed steve, and he's had 43 plastic surgeries. he had a chin implant, bicep implants, a cleft installed -- they sat steve down with his personal therapist who offered her expert opinion on his mental health. take a look. >> someone was concerned you had body dysmorphic disorder. >> mm-hmm. >> i don't see that with you. >> yeah? i'm not that obsessive and i'm

not that addicted to surgery. i have clients that can't believe i even had one surgery. like unbelievable. >> i think you look absolutely beautiful. you're very real. there isn't anything phony about you. what you see is what you get. [ laughter ] >> huh? hold on a second. now, let's go back -- let's go back through that line by line if we can. let's show that again. >> someone was concerned you had body dysmorphic disorder. >> well, that concern seems reasonable to me. >> i don't see that with you. [ laughter ] >> you don't? >> i'm not that obsessive and

i'm not thataddicted to surgery. >> right, it's not like i had 45 surgeries, i only had 43. believe that i have had even one surgery. >> are your clients blind? [ laughter ] because you look like you're wearing -- you look like a ceramic clown wearing a carnival mask. >> i think you look absolutely beautiful. [ laughter ] >> and by beautiful, i mean monster like. >> you're very real. >> not very real. very real for a ventriloquist puppet maybe. for a person, no. >> i mean, there really isn't anything phony about you. >> with the exception of your head and torso. and if you don't mind, make the check out to cash. how michael jackson missed her, i have no idea. this is kind of funny. microsoft did something dumb. they had to apologize for this photo they's -- they posted on the microsoft poland website. they turned the black person

into the white person for the polish site and didn't change the hands. they called it a poor marketing decision and apologized to both black guys who live in poland. the founder of microsoft, bill gates, originally, he looked like this. [ laughter ] to be honest i think he looked better that way. one more thing to delight you. there's bar down the block on the sunset strip, called saddle they have a mechanical bull and and ride. and this is why i thank god every night as i go to sleep for the internet. enjoy.
