Jimmy Kimmel, Paul McCartney & Justin Timberlake

Jimmy Kimmel is getting more and more pull in LA. Now he's gotten the city to shut down traffic for two big time concert events. The RAMP Newsletter has the details...

Somehow, some way, Jimmy Kimmel has been given approval to create a major music-related traffic jam in Hollywood, and no one seems to mind, given the reason -- next Monday and Tuesday, September 23 and 24, a portion of world famous Hollywood Blvd. will be shut down to accommodate a couple of world-class outdoor concert events -- Paul McCartney and Justin Timberlake will perform (separately) on the street for thousands of people. According to The Hollywood Reporter, McCartney will visit Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday and JT invades on Tuesday. Prior to their live shows, which are expected to draw record-breaking crowds, McCartney and Timberlake will also appear as in-studio guests on Kimmel's show, mostly because they have new projects to plug -- McCartney is promoting his latest album, New, and JT is promoting Part 2 of the 20/20 Experience as well as his new film Runner Runner, which co-stars Ben Affleck and opens October 4.

Setting the DVR...for both nights. I've come to grudgingly respect and admire Timberlake too.
