Why Howard Stern isn't buying the Kimmel Fallon romance. I don't know how I defend myself in this bed. Dancing drama. From upset for her. Shana responds after fiance Brian Austin Green gets brutally honest. She's gone. I'm incredibly lonely. All the time that she does have, she's spending with Tyler. Plus, sibling shade from Taylor Hanson. How badly do you wish it was could have been here in a CU Do this? That's not actually something that I wish. And the Coda Johnson's filling Taylor Swift

2:09set secrets. What's one thing that would surprise the Swift's ease about the making of that video? Oh, where to begin? Plus, beer pods, flying salmon and one terrified new shell turn. Taking on the amazing race. You two start right now. We're going upstream. Howard Stern out here stirring up the late night pot with Jimmy Kimmel. Is Jimmy found a natural friend or a late night friend of me? Hello and welcome to entertainment tonight. We're going to get to that when we start with Michelle Turner and the latest on Sean Combs behind bars. Yeah, cab Sean Combs is currently serving a 50 month sentence. But now a new investigation is claiming his life in prison is more posh than penance. Sure, I survive what I've been through. We don't play by, you know, anybody's rules and we don't care what anybody thinks. That's Diddy behind bars using a cell phone which is prohibited for federal inmates. NBC News says he's allegedly using it to scroll Instagram and look at nude photos sent by an old

3:13girlfriend. And that's just the beginning. One source even told the network he drank Hennessy with Diddy and other inmates are reportedly cooking him special meals like these including pizza and onion rings. I'm real picky about the food. The disgraced rap mogul who's worth an estimated $400 million is also reportedly paying inmates to give him massages, make his bed and clean the shower and toilet. I'm real picky about bathrooms. Does money outside of prison usually translate to power inside of prison? It translates to influence, you know, the average inmate has less than $100 in their account. So inmates will do whatever they need to do to make money because typically inmates are only making about 30 to 45 cents an hour. The report also claims Diddy has a tablet behind bars and used it to watch the Netflix docuseries about himself produced by his Nemesis 50 cent. I think you've got your time. We all saw the video with him sitting there with the cell phone. My first question is

4:14well who was filming him? The Bureau of Prison says that the cell phone issue is a constant challenge. Fort Dix has had a history of what we call drone drops. They drop phones. Unfortunately, phones do come through the front doors through staff and to your point, the food recording him, it was somebody else with a phone and I can tell you there's probably hundreds of phones in that facility. All right, from Diddy behind bars to Pete Davidson's rock bottom, the comedian is revealing new details about his drug use during his high profile romance with Kim Kardashian. The scariest thing I think is living in the unknown. He is just super genuine and it's just really fun to just hang out. Pete says Kim and her family were super respectful but the fame and scrutiny were intense and behind the scenes he was using a lot of drugs. He tells Variety he was cooking ketamine and quote, I would do acid and shrooms and wipits and smoke weed all day and eat pills every day. It was a world win. Pete eventually went back to rehab in 2023. Today, the new dad says he has

5:21four beers a year but is otherwise sober. As for dating Kim, he jokingly compares himself to a Marine calling himself one of the survivors, the few and the proud. Babe, do you want to show her with me really quick? Let's move on now to Jimmy Kim alive in Brooklyn welcoming Howard Stern. And of course, Jimmy returned the favor and dropped by serious exams Howard Stern chef. So leave it to the shock chapter generate headlines after confronting Kimmel over his so-called friendship with the other late night Jimmy. Your anxiety is your problem not ours. It's good to be out here with everybody. This whole thing, oh, did the two Jimmy's love each other? I wish you would just come clean. You don't need to be around Jimmy Fallon. And watching it, it is too funny. We're like the same person. I don't know how I defend myself in this but I'm going to attempt to. I cannot imagine anyone not having fun hanging around with Jimmy

6:22Fallon because Jimmy Fallon, as you know, is a lot of fun. You think that I have so much free time in my life that I would waste that time maintaining a pretend friendship. It's not pretend I think you desperately want to prove that like, oh, we can do it along. I don't know. This is a pro. I put to me, you're in. The battle of the Jimmy's continues. The two Jimmy's have certainly played up a bond on camera for laughs, but Fallon got serious defending Kimmel when he was suspended last year. I do know Jimmy Kimmel and he's a decent, funny and loving guy and I hope he comes back. The real irony, Howard actually had a hand in forging the Fallon Kimmel connection, reportedly arranging for the two to meet over dinner in 2017. Kimmel just dropped proof the bond continues off camera too. I'm going to dinner with Jimmy Fallon this week as a matter of fact while I'm here. I will be out at some good dinners and I got a lot of love. And last night these jokes there's proved all as well.

7:23They do say that people who are funny are really messed up people. But my wife says to me, she goes, nothing's wrong with Jimmy. Jimmy's fine. Jimmy's more screwed up than I am. You know that's what Howard Stern does. He mixes things up. Meanwhile, Kimmel sidekick, Guillermo, aka the people's prince is living his best ballroom life on dancing with the stars and so is our Denny director. Oh, I kept in week three of dancing with the stars and the ballroom was serving some big yacht energy. I was trying to keep it sexy and I kept it cute and America liked to see it. Are they really? So here it is again. Here it is. Here you go, you two. While a shirtless, gyrating Guillermo and pregnant Whitney move on. Taylor and Britt. Taylor Hanson's millennial fandom wasn't enough to prevent him and Britt from getting the oom boot. How badly do you wish a bros could have been here and see you do this?

8:27That's not actually something that I wish. No, no. I mean, I know a lot of people that I think I would have loved to invite. We want only shoes. What? Yeah, the forecast in the ballroom, extra shady with Carrienne delivering a stinging critique for Jenna Dewan. I think you're pushing too hard. It's okay. If we don't go hard, like what are we doing with that? I know where she parks her car. Sorry. And Sharna Burgess giving it her all. Hours after Brian Austin Green posted a seven minute video that dumped a pretty heavy guilt trip on her return to work. I was at the movies by myself. All the time that she does have, she's spending with Tyler. A lot has come up for me. Trust issues, I have just horribly tainted that experience. She can write the ship, but I'm incredibly lonely.

9:27You're both a star and a mom and you're all the thing. Yes, I'm all the things and this experience has reminded me that I can be and that I am and and he's helped with that too. Meanwhile, Harry Schum Jr gave a nod to his glee pass with that sweet stash while co-stars Chris Coulford and Amber Riley were screaming in the ballroom. Look who we have here. Brian Murphy told us he just finished a script for a glee reboot. I've been in touch with around 10 of the original cast members. They all were very enthusiastic. Have you heard about any of those ideas? I haven't heard anything. Right, yeah. All right, that's called me so. I'm excited that they're pondering the idea and we'll see where it goes. And did you see this Tom Cruise bustin' out his risky business moves and those signature sunglasses for Jennifer Hudson's Spirit Tunnel? Where did you learn those moves? I grew up watching Soul Train.

10:27Tom, don't play with my emotions. I'm not like a Squirty God. The 64-year-old broke it down for a full minute and fans reacted, one commenting, nobody missed work today. If you can't enjoy the Spirit Tunnel, guess. You're not alive. Tom got down to hype up his new movie Digger out Friday. Also out Friday, Varity with Anne Hathaway. Our Emily Curle was with his future days of Thunder sequel co-star. You're going heads ahead with Tom Cruise right now in the theaters as well. Is it a competition? No, no, no, no, no. I can't even imagine being in competition with Tom Cruise. We just want to make audiences happy. And yeah, and if you want to go see both, we have a nice double feature we have. Diggy-Diggy-Dig-Fair-Fair-Fariger. Only darkness ahead. The last time we chatted, you told me that the movie because of Friday, Saturday, you're going to disappear into a little of smoke. What are you mostly looking forward to? I think to just kind of have my schedule be my kid's schedule. I'll get to do like really soft indulgent things like

11:29Kodanio the class and stuff like that. And share the sweet moment with co-star Dakota Johnson, who gently padded her baby bump. Let's talk about your character, Loan. Loan is drawn to Jeremy despite all the red flags. When it comes to relationship for you personally, what is a red flag you used to overlook that you wouldn't anymore? I think it's so. Where to begin? Flip-flop. Take them. Fasion Zero has a lot of similar themes. What's one thing that would surprise us with these about the making of that video? It was like, people say maybe don't work with your friends, but Taylor and I worked so well together and we had the best time. And it was like being 10 year old girls running around and playing and it was just fun. Still ahead, Devon Sawa's 90th crush now his co-star. Kelly Kupowski, when I was 12 years old, was my everything.

12:32Only ET's on set of their new show. I totally just said that. Then my fear of heights meets the amazing race. It's about 200 feet in the air. ET's strapped in. But am I ready to step off? Three, two, one! No one brings you closer to Hollywood's biggest stars than ET. ET! Her secrets out. Only on ET. I just did not tell this story but I'm going to anyway. Always on ET.

14:36Get shoes that get you. We've got the chance. You bring the vibes. Dia's W. Let us surprise you. I am Tiffany Fusec. I'm David Sawa. And we're here on the set of Covenant Guiley. Welcome. All right, we're here in actually my office. Most of the time when I sit in this chair, they have to raise it because watch. It's very little. This saved by the bell alum plus the guy who stole our 90s hearts and Casper together in one show. We're here for that free forms new series Covenant Academy premieres tomorrow. It's sort of like the vampire diaries meets gossip girl with Devon confessing he's hot for teachers. Kelly Kupowski when I was 12 years old was my everything. So it was I was a little starstruck when I first met her. Show you. I really was. I told you. I told everybody. This is this is a very true story. Are we going to get any Casper Easter egg?

15:38Maybe we'll fit one in there. Maybe I'll say him as graves. Can I keep yours on the can I keep you? Casper. I totally just said that. Coming up. I did it. Like father like son. She the resemblance. Martin and Charlie Sheen's new TV team up. Anytime you get to work with your family, it's a special deal. Only ET's with Martin today. I adore him. I always have. Then the height, the harness, the hesitation. I'm just trying not to let us down. Behind the scenes of my amazing race leap of faith. What is wrong with me? Next ET only one show is in Park City, Utah with the cast of marshals. We are back in the saddle for season two. I'm going to start off with a bang. Plus CBS stars in the hot seat. Hey y'all this is Montana Jordan and. I'm Mario Molina and we are spilling the tea.

16:39And the ET. Then hi I'm Jamie Presley and this is my ET then and now. Next ET. And then congratulations on the happy Jack news. Well you know anytime you get to work with your family, it's a special deal. Charlie and Martin Sheen are reuniting on TV again. The two will play a father and son in AMC's new comedy series Happy Jack. About a lifelong screw up whose dad helped him raise his two daughters. Hopefully we can both contribute something to the show and to each other. Yeah really looking forward to it. Yeah we can start in January. We've always had a good rhythm together in whatever scene we're doing. The six episode season will be shot in front of a live audience. ET witnessed the pair's chemistry back in 2005 when Martin joined Charlie on two and a half men joking about his giant paycheck. He stuck us pretty good.

17:40Yeah it comes right out of my back end. He doesn't know that. But that's all right. I'm just joking. I mean you get what you're what you're pay for and we got the best. Today we caught up with Martin as he and Dule Hill attended the walk of fame ceremony for their former West Wing co-star Bradley Whitford. Are we any closer to a West Wing reboot? I think we're always trying. I think we are wisely cautious about it because the show was such a sublime experience and I think it could happen. Congratulations to Bradley. Okay let's talk the season 39 premiere of amazing race. It's back tonight on CBS and somebody decided that she would go and try one of the challenges. Are you okay? No I'm not okay. Be careful with your wish form. I did not know what I was getting myself into obviously but I can now say that I have performed at the same stage. It was 10 or 5. Exactly. But she was on the ground.

18:40Yeah. I jumped from the rafters but of course only ET cameras were rolling from start to terrifying finish. What do I need to know to be able to pull this off? It's a very big stadium. What we're going to do is we're going to have you go way up in the rafters about 300 feet above the ground and you're going to have some bare claws and you're going to be chasing a salmon and you have to swoop down like a bear and try to claw that thing. That's your challenge. Oh my god. When you get there just ask them to tie the knot really well right when you before you jump. Bill you're not making this better. Swipe. I said turning 50 this year I was going to do stuff that I never did. And I am. When I got my nerve up I need to go. Petrified would be an understatement but with helmet, safety harness, bare paws and game face in place I was ready to take the plunge. Did I just try not to pull this down? Did I mention I'm terrified of heights?

19:42Your goal is to catch the fish. Try to grab the fish and not the rope. Got it. Oh god I don't know. Oh god I don't know. After a couple fall starts I took the plunge. Okay you got one more. Needy steps. Yeah. Three. Two. One. We have it. Oh lord Jesus thank you. Bill. You can let go of the fish now. All right you know how crazy you look floating up there in the sky with one bare claw on and in catching this giant. Bill I didn't think I could do it. But you did it. Still ahead. I'm Santa Claus.
