Newly Engaged Seann William Scott Shares Racy Bachelor Party Story
Seann William Scott chatted with Jimmy Kimmel last night about his recent engagement to former Victoria's Secret model Lindsay Frimodt, but the really juicy story was the one he shared about his older brother's bachelor party a few years back. Seann dished that he wanted to make the bachelor party a memorable night, so he invited porn star Bridget Powers, also known as "Bridget the Midget." His other brother, Dave Scott, took an intimate liking to the little person, and for better or worse, he's become known for the sexual encounter. Watch Seann spill the racy story now, which ends with an awkward (and hilarious) exchange between his mother and brother during a Wizard of Oz movie night!

Zooey Deschanel Talks Being Terrified by Her Sister Emily
On Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, Zooey Deschanel shared the story of how her older sister Emily used to torment her growing up by pretending she was an alien. Zooey explained, "She basically just used the plot of Invasion of the Body Snatchers to terrify me." With her morbid imagination it's no surprise that big sis Emily grew up to become a forensic anthropologist on the crime drama Bones. Watch Zooey tell the too-funny story now of the long-running extraterrestrial ruse that Emily would act out during their childhood. If you have a sister, did you have any similar stories from your childhood?
Elizabeth Banks on Pippa: "I'd Do Anything to Have That Behind"
After Craig Ferguson jokingly referred to Elizabeth Banks's character in The Hunger Games, Effie Trinket, as Pippa Middleton, Elizabeth talked about how much she wished she had the same behind as Pippa. While Craig isn't too impressed, saying it doesn't compare to J-Lo's infamous backside, Elizabeth disagrees. She says, "It is a fine looking behind." Elizabeth can now join the Pippa fanny fan club along with the rest of the men (and women) smitten with Kate's sister after the royal wedding. But we have to say, after seeing Elizabeth Banks rock her Hunger Games red carpet looks, we wouldn't mind having her derriere! Watch the funny clip!

Jon Hamm Has More to Say About His "Twitter Feud" With Kim Kardashian
Jon Hamm stopped by Anderson Cooper's talk show with silver fox and fellow Mad Men star John Slattery presumably to talk up the show's season premiere this Sunday. But Jon also found himself talking about Kim Kardashian.
If you haven't been following along, last week Jon lamented the fact that the Kardashian show is more popular than Mad Men. He said, "Whether it’s Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated. Being a f*cking idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture because you’re rewarded significantly." Kim took to Twitter to defend herself, tweeting: "I just heard about the comment Jon Hamm made about me in an interview. I respect Jon and I am a firm believer that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that not everyone takes the same path in life. We’re all working hard and we all have to respect one another. Calling someone who runs their own businesses, is a part of a successful TV show, produces, writes, designs, and creates, ‘stupid,’ is in my opinion careless."
Chatting with Anderson, Jon said he was just trying to make a greater point about the state of American entertainment. He noted that he's now in a Twitter feud, although he's not on Twitter nor a "big fan of feuding." Anderson commiserated, saying he too once made the mistake of mentioning the Kardashians in a negative way, and found the comments following him around. Watch a clip of their chat, and tune in to Anderson on Friday to catch the full interview.
