Sideshow: Jimmy Fallon: Late-night hosts do compete - but nicely
Late-night TV's nice men Everyone has heard about the David Letterman-Jay Leno feud of yore. The late-night talk-show scene is no less competitive, but the boys (and, invariably, they all are boys) in the game today aren't combative, says Jimmy Fallon. They're into mentoring each other, not feuding.
Late-night TV's nice men
Everyone has heard about the David Letterman-Jay Leno feud of yore. The late-night talk-show scene is no less competitive, but the boys (and, invariably, they all are boys) in the game today aren't combative, says Jimmy Fallon. They're into mentoring each other, not feuding.
Jimmy Kimmel "was great to me - when I came on he was very supportive," Fallon tells Billboard. "So I'm going to be just as supportive as I can be to [Stephen] Colbert, who really isn't even the new guy because he has totally been around. We did bits on his old show where we were frenemies and rivals, which was fun. So yeah, welcome. Best of luck, man."
Jillian Michaels on top
"I hate to fail - even though I do it so often. It sucks. Nobody likes failing," says fitness guru Jillian Michaels, who seems to be everywhere on TV lately, including Losing It with Jillian, The Doctors, and Sweat Inc.
Despite her successes, Michaels, 41, tells Health mag, being a mom has given her new fears about life.
"Before kids, I was like, 'Well, if I lose everything, I don't care. I'll go back to, like, slingin' hooch. I'll be Tom Cruise in Cocktail,' " she says.
"But after you have kids, I think your worry is you're going to make such a big mistake that you're going to become homeless and take the kids down with you. It's not rational, I'm well aware of that."

"To see half glam and half the real me was interesting and fun," says Banks. "It was a trip and a half."
