Josh Groban cameo on Jimmy Kimmel Live by Michael Desmond/ABC
After watching Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious post-Oscars "I'm F--king Ben Affleck" music video, I had one lingering thought I just couldn't put to rest: How in the world did they get stick-in-the-mud Harrison Ford to play along?Apparently, all they had to do was ask. When Affleck learned that Ford found the humor in an earlier video, in which Kimmel's girlfriend Sarah Silverman confessed to getting down with Matt Damon, they approached the Indiana Jones star and found him more than willing to play a part. Ford was just one in a shockingly large group of celebs, including Brad Pitt, Robin Williams, Cameron Diaz and Josh Groban, who were eager to make an appearance in Kimmel's jokingly vengeful retort.Even with all that star power on hand, shooting the clip took quite a while. New York's Daily News reports that the scene in which Kimmel and Affleck almost kiss required 10 takes because the pair couldn't stop laughing. But all the hard work was worth it — the video has already been vi...

If you thought Sarah Silverman's "I'm F**king Matt Damon" was the most hilarious video you'd ever seen, wait till you get a load of what Jimmy Kimmel did to strike back last night during his post-Oscar show. Not only did he whip up a ridiculously brilliant video featuring Matt Damon's "other half," Ben Affleck, as his love interest, but he also went on to recruit what appears to be all of Hollywood to serve as backup singers. Robin Williams, Don Cheadle, Cameron Diaz, Lance Bass, Josh Groban, Harrison Ford — it’s an endless list! Brad Pitt even makes a cameo as the Fed Ex guy. All we can say after watching them walk away together in their cut-off short-shorts? Awesome. Just plain awesome. **Note: If the video is loading slowly, sit tight — a lot of people are trying to watch this at the same time!And if you don't remember how this all started, check out Sarah Silverman's "I'm F**king Matt Damon" video below. Your take: Whose video do you think was better, Sarah’s...

Celine Dion by Tony Barson/WireImage.com
Her Vegas show may have come to a close, but that doesn’t mean Celine’s insanely amazing vocal talents won’t be appeasing the masses anymore. In a recent performance in L.A., Dion belted out her countless hits on stage, even trying something new by throwing in two duets with Josh Groban (who recently performed with Andrea Bocelli at the Grammys) and the Black Eyed Peas' Will.i.am. That should make for an interesting new sound. Watch it now! | More online videos

Kanye West Performs “Stronger” with Daft Punk and “Hey Mama”As much as the cocky rapper continues to irk us with his high and mighty comments regarding who deserves certain awards (that acceptance speech definitely put us over the edge—see it here if you missed it), we still have to admit he is a damn good performer. His Kanye-from-the-future performance of “Stronger” was equally as good as his tribute to his mama. Amy Winehouse Performs and “Rehab” Via Satellite We all were waiting with baited breath to see if Amy Winehouse would either pull a Britney or kill it when it came time for her live satellite performance. Despite all the insanity going on in her life, Winehouse still managed to pull off a pretty good performance. You could see she was full of nerves, but she sung right through them and even managed to smirk for the cameras when it came time for the irony of her song lyrics in “Rehab.”Across the Universe CastPerforms T...

My eyes! They're burning at the thought! Danny Bonaduce has posed for Penthouse, TMZ reports.... On Thursday at Germany's Bambi Awards — Bambi?

This is going to be a different kind of blog tonight as I am frankly stunned, shocked and really pleasantly surprised that Idol pulled this little telethon together so quickly and so effectively. Idol is in a position to do something to help others less fortunate, and I am proud they took this opportunity to do it. They have friends in very high places, and scores of Idol-worshiping celebrities offered their services to help spread the message. Not only that, but they partnered with One.org to bring awareness to extreme poverty. And although the show felt pretty much like a long Ford commercial, I am happy and amazed that they did it. A little more than halfway through the show Ryan announced they had raised $30 million! That’s pretty impressive. So if you haven’t donated, do so now! There were some funny moments, but mostly these were two hours that really touched me. I started to lose it during the segment about New Orleans: After walking back and forth to the bathroom f...

Josh Groban, the American Music Awards
Tonight's broadcast of the American Music Awards (8 pm/ET, on ABC) will be chock-full of celebrity presenters and flashy performances by the likes of Beyonce, the Pussycat Dolls and Tenacious D. But they'll also be mixing it up a bit with country artists Carrie Underwood and Rascal Flatts and even going a bit of classical with a song from Josh Groban. TVGuide.com had the chance to talk to Groban — who just released his new album, Aw

Kristin Cavallari, Get This Party Started
American IdolAh, the final night of auditions in my hometown, Boston, Mass. Did my old stomping ground make me proud? Well, no. Simon Cowell caused people to cry, swear and make rude threats, all at the same time. Usually only Boston traffic can elicit such a response. This audition was all about Kenneth "Dare to Be Cher" Maccarone and Michael "Clay for a Day" Sandecky. Kenneth, you may not have the wigs, Botox or butt tattoos (thank god), but you are Cher. No need getting grumpy at the judges for pointing it out. Wear it well, wear it proud and someday you'll have your own Oscar for your very own Moonstruck. As for Idol's own Clay Aiken doppelganger, I l
