Celebrity feuds, we love ’em! But is another one starting to emerge?
Jimmy Kimmel: Late-night talk show host, member of Manny Pacquiao’s entourage, food enthusiast.
Rihanna: Musician, Instagram star, recreational marijuana user.
First, some background: There really isn’t much, but feuds have to start somewhere.
April 1, 2015: Rihanna, a big fan of the pranks Kimmel frequently pulls, decides to pull one on him. With her entourage in tow, Rihanna unleashes a surprise concert in Kimmel’s bedroom at 1 a.m.
Scoring: Point for Rihanna.
Cue response from Kimmel, Tuesday night.
May 5, 2015: Kimmel, while highlighting some of the fashion on display at Monday’s Met Gala in New York, focuses mostly on Rihanna’s outfit, “a yellow, embroidered bed spread.” Kimmel’s fashion commentary even included a gag involving the opportunity to purchase your very own Rihanket.
Scoring: Half-point for Kimmel.
Yes, only half a point. I would say that pointing out the many fantastical uses for Rihanna’s dress actually makes her more endearing. Look at some other dresses people wore. Could they have any other uses? I mean, really. Beyonce’s? Probably not. Kimmel actually did Rihanna a favor.
Your move, Rihanna.
