Jimmy Kimmel Throws Shade For Colbert While Trump Slams Hanks In Socal Drama

Hollywood Heavyweights Clash: Kimmel, Colbert, and Trump’s Latest Beef

Yo, LA fam, buckle up for some serious Hollywood drama that’s hotter than a Santa Ana wind! Jimmy Kimmel, our late-night king straight outta SoCal, is stepping up to bat for his buddy and fellow Emmy nominee Stephen Colbert. While Kimmel’s quick to say he ain’t out here defending democracy, he’s definitely throwing some subtle shade to support Colbert on the red carpet scene.

This awards season is already serving up more spice than a Venice Beach taco truck, and Kimmel’s loyalty to Colbert is the kind of bromance we love to see in Tinseltown. Whether they’re cracking jokes or clapping back, these two are keeping the laughs rolling while navigating the glitz and glam of Emmy night.

Trump Targets Tom Hanks Over Canceled West Point Honor

Meanwhile, across the country in D.C., former President Donald Trump is stirring the pot with some serious shade of his own. On Monday, Trump took to his social media platform to celebrate the news that an alumni group from West Point canceled an award ceremony meant to honor none other than Tom Hanks. Trump didn’t hold back, calling the beloved actor ‘destructive’ and ‘WOKE’ - talk about a plot twist straight outta a Hollywood blockbuster!

Hanks was set to snag the 2025 Sylvanus Thayer Award on September 25, but last week, the U.S. Military Academy’s alumni association pulled the plug on the ceremony, per recent reports. Trump couldn’t resist chiming in, posting, ‘Important move! We don’t need destructive, WOKE recipients getting our cherished American Awards!!!’ He even threw in a jab at the Academy Awards and other ‘Fake Award Shows,’ urging them to rethink their ‘Standards and Practices’ for fairness. Shots fired, y’all!

West Point, its alumni association, and Hanks’ camp have stayed mum so far, with no responses to calls or messages on Monday. But you know we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for the next chapter in this Malibu-style melodrama.

LA’s Take: What’s Next for These Hollywood Icons?

So, what’s the vibe on the streets of LA about all this? Kimmel and Colbert are still the talk of the town, with fans buzzing about their Emmy night antics and how they’ll keep the laughs coming. Over on the West Coast, we’re all about supporting our homegrown talent, and this duo is pure Hollywood gold.

As for Hanks, the silence from his side has got us wondering if he’ll clap back at Trump’s comments or let this storm blow over like a foggy day in Santa Monica. One thing’s for sure - between late-night loyalty and presidential potshots, the entertainment world is giving us more drama than a season finale on Sunset Boulevard.

'Jimmy and Stephen are the dynamic duo we didn’t know we needed this awards season - pure LA energy!' said a longtime Hollywood insider.
