It was a VERY happy Friday for Jimmy Kimmel on January 25 -- he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and earned record ratings for a special episode of his late-night ABC talk series "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" that was hijacked by Matt Damon and featured a slew of top celebrities.

The show showed the host bound and gagged as the actor, a butt of a joke used on the program for years, took over hosting duties and welcomed top celebrities such as Nicole Kidman and Robin Williams, who playfully gave Kimmel a lap dance, as well as Demi Moore, longtime collaborator and Oscar winner Ben Affleck and Kimmel's ex-girlfriend Sarah Silverman.

Matt Damon hijacked 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' on Jan. 24, 2013. Stars such as Demi Moore, Reese Witherspoon, Ben Affleck, Andy Garcia, Amy Adams, Jimmy Kimmel's ex Sarah Silverman and a very naughty Nicole Kidman and Robin Williams joined the fun. See photos.

Kimmel is the 2,489th recipient of a star. It is located at 6840 Hollywood Boulevard, in front of El Capitan Entertainment Centre, where he films his show.

While disgraced Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong continues to make headlines with a widely-publicized confession to using banned performance-enhancing drugs, as told to Oprah Winfrey, ABC talk show host Jimmy Kimmel has coaxed a tell-all from another Lance -- Lance Bass -- in a parody video.

Bass, who rose to fame in the 1990s with the boy band 'N Sync, which also included Justin Timberlake, appeared on the late-night series "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" via the video call service Skype on Thursday, January 17. The same night, the first part of Armstrong's interview on Winfrey's "Oprah's Next Chapter" aired on her OWN cable channel. Part 2 airs on Friday.

Jimmy Kimmel's new earlier time slot has paid off -- ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" has beaten fellow late-night program "The Late Show with David Letterman" for the first time.

However, the show ranked lower than NBC's "Tonight Show with Jay Leno."

Jimmy Kimmel is reportedly taking aim at Jay Leno once again in a new interview.

The late-night talk show host talked about Leno during his interview with Rolling Stone where he reportedly says Leno "sold out."

David Letterman's and Jimmy Fallon's monologue jokes on their late-night talk shows on Monday night mostly fell flat - notably because there was almost no one there to clap for them.

The two taped their programs that day without much of a studio audience as scores of people in New York City, where the programs are filmed, and the rest of the East Coast hunkered down and avoided traveling due to the devastating Hurricane-turned-Superstorm Sandy.

Jennifer Aniston appears pregnant in a new commercial for Glaceau Smartwater, which also stars Ryan Seacrest and ABC talk show and 2012 Emmys host Jimmy Kimmel.

In the ad, which was released on September 18, Seacrest plays a TV news host. He introduces a segment showing mock security footage " leaked " from Aniston's home, which unveil "shocking revelations." In one black and white clip, she enters a kitchen and unwraps a velcro strap worn under a white T-shirt to reveal an enormous bare belly.
