Best of Late Night TV: Adam Levine's Musical Impressions, Wiz Khalifa's Special Pot, Nude Celeb Jokes (VIDEO)



If you're like us and value your sleep, you probably nodded off into your Ambien dreamland before the party started on post-prime time TV. Don't worry; we've got you covered. Here's the best of what happened last night on late night.



Adam Levine was on "The Tonight Show" with Jimmy Fallon Tuesday night, showing off his imitation skills in a fun game called "Wheel of Musical Impressions." Adam actually does a slick version of Frank Sinatra singing "Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes." Jimmy's Bob Dylan singing "Rude" is pretty classic. Adam really struggled at the start of his Michael Jackson-does- "Sesame Street" impression, but once he got it, he nailed it. Adam also talked to Jimmy about how he tried to help Gwen Stefani pronounce "Colbert" at the Emmys. They presented together, and Adam defended Gwen, saying she was super-nervous and wasn't sure how to pronounce "Colbert." He tried to explain it was like "Cold Bear." Gwen was so mortified when her flub happened, but Jimmy turned it into a bit. He said they did not plan for that, but they thanked Gwen for making it happen. Jimmy Kimmel had a pretty amusing talk with Wiz Khalifa, who discussed his No. 1 album, and how 12/12 is Wiz Khalifa Day. Jimmy showed off the new album cover, which obscures Wiz's face in marijuana smoke. JK said was getting a contact high just from holding it. They discussed exactly how much Wiz smokes. Jimmy said Snoop Dogg once said he smokes 75-80 joints a day. Wiz said he's in that same ballpark, but he's specific about the kind of pot he smokes, so he takes it with him everywhere he goes. That's why he's been arrested, like, 20 times! "Hey, it costs to be the boss." He noted that his lawyer doesn't mind. Wiz also showed off all his tattoos. He lifted his shirt and showed how he doesn't have any room on his chest now. He is working on his back and his legs now, 'cause that's basically the only place he has room. Jimmy also showed off Amber Rose's huge tat of Wiz's face. In the final video, Wiz and Jimmy play "Dem Boyz or Not Dem Boyz." Only two guys did not make the cut - including new Bachelor Chris Soules. A kangaroo wearing sunglasses made the cut, but not the farmer Bachelor. It's weirdly hilarious. "Jimmy Kimmel Live" also turned into a cooking show Tuesday night when Eva Longoria shared her favorite egg recipe. She uses egg whites because she grew up hating the color yellow an her mom tricked her by using egg whites instead. Eva also talked about her restaurant, Beso, which is right next door to the studio. She said she's a control freak about what's going on in there. Jimmy and Eva also discussed what she did over Labor Day weekend (she hung out with her boyfriend, sorry fellas), and Jimmy noted how she "spit in the face of fashion" by wearing white after Labor Day. It doesn't get much more gorgeous than Eva, so she can keep spitting at fashion all day. Jimmy K. also poked fun at the leaked iCloud photo scandal, saying you can tell how good or bad a person you are based on how many seconds you waited to Google "Jennifer Lawrence nude" after hearing the news. "Anything under 60, you're going to hell." Jimmy also shared his own leaked iCloud photo: "Conan" mocked the scandal by showing what happened when the celebrity nudes hacker got hacked himself:

And Jimmy Fallon also weighed in on the nude celeb photo scandal, then rounded up (fake) reactions in a bit called "That's What They Said": Stephen Colbert (Remember: "Cold Bear") was on "Late Night with Seth Meyers" -- check out Seth's new set! -- and talked about his massive love for "The Lord of the Rings." He shared his "peak geek" moment, frightening people with his enthusiasm for LOTR and "The Hobbit." They also discussed Stephen's Emmys experience with his 12-year-old son, and his own love for Captain America.

On the "Late Show With David Letterman," Julie Chen previewed "The Talk" Season 5, which starts soon. One of the themes is facing your fears, so Julie talked about some of her fears. She also said the sharing secrets theme is back by popular demand, so Dave shared one of his own secrets. He said, one time years ago when he was in Indiana, he killed a hitchhiker. "I only did it that one time!"



Julie also explained how she joined "Big Brother," which is now airing its 16th season. Julie never thought it would be on this long, around the world. She said "Big Brother" premiered during the height of "Survivor" and BB was like "the bastard stepchild cousin" of the more popular show. Julie really wanted to work on "60 Minutes" but instead she got to host "Big Brother." Not quite her big dream. She originally declined the hosting job because it would ruin her "60 Minutes" chances. She was told declining would be "insubordination" and they could really just assign her the job. Talk about BB-style manipulation! Dave said they couldn't really do that to her, but she was young and went for it. The critics hated her as host and Andy Rooney bashed her. Poor Julie. She said she aims to stay serious with the BB cast members, she doesn't want them to get too chummy with her.

Luke Wilson was also on Letterman, and discussed his short film, "Satellite Beach." He said it brings out his angry, competitive side when the film doesn't get into certain film festivals.

A Remastered, HD Version of 'The Wire' is Coming to HBO -- Eventually

Museum Of The Moving Image Presents HBO's

HBO is remastering classic series "The Wire" in high definition, though plans for an upcoming rebroadcast are murky at best.



A new teaser promoting a "replay marathon" of the show on HBO Signature promised to broadcast every episode from the series -- which ran for five seasons from 2002 through 2008 on the cable network -- beginning later this week. The episodes are set to be remastered in HD for the first time.



But while HBO confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that there are indeed plans to remaster the series, the promo promising the marathon would start on September 4 "ran prematurely," and the network does "not have further information regarding the timeline" of when such a rebroadcast might occur.



While that might be a bit of a bummer for fans of the series hoping to catch it on the air once again (or for those who never saw it the first time who want to shut up their friends who tell them they have to watch it) there are still several ways for viewers to screen the show. All of its episodes are available on HBO Go, along with Amazon Prime and iTunes.



Stay tuned to see if and when HBO will rebroadcast "The Wire." In the meantime, enjoy this cool -- if inaccurate -- promo.

Robin Williams's Daughter Zelda Returns to Twitter With Anti-Bullying Message

Actor Robin Williams and his daughter Ze

Zelda Williams, the 25-year-old daughter of the late Robin Williams, returned to Twitter this week with a powerful anti-bullying message, after she deleted her account due to what she deemed "cruel and unnecessary" attacks centered around her father's suicide.



The younger Williams wrote on Monday a simple "Thank you" message, which also included a link to her personal Tumblr page, with a quote she attributed to Harvey Fierstein, her father's "Mrs. Doubtfire" costar.



"Never be bullied into silence," the quote said. "Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no ones [sic] definition of your life; define yourself."



Williams had told her followers in a tweet sent out on August 13 that she was deactivating her account after being on the receiving end of malicious messages concerning her father's death, including edited images purportedly showing his body. Robin Williams hanged himself at his California home on August 11; the actor was 63.



While Zelda Williams's absence from social media also included Instagram, the young actress has since re-activated that account as well, though it is now set to private. Her first tweet in nearly three weeks has already received dozens of messages of support.

The 'Escape From New York' Reboot May Feature Charlie Hunnam in an Eye Patch

2014 Huading Film Awards - ArrivalsThere hasn't been much news on the "Escape From New York" reboot front since the flick was first announced way back in March 2013. But according to a new report, plans for the movie are still in motion -- and the production is zeroing in on its Snake Plissken.



Starlog writes that Charlie Hunnam is at the top of producers' wish list to play the iconic eye patch-wearing character. The site's sources note that Hunnam is "currently the top contender now that his run on SONS OF ANARCHY has concluded, although it is unclear if his commitments to PACIFIC RIM 2 will leave the actor unavailable."



Hunnam is also in the running for the lead in director Guy Ritchie's "King Arthur," leaving his plate pretty full to be taking on new projects. So who else has the "Escape" reboot set in its sights? Two other actors that Starlog's sources name as potential Plisskens are Jon Bernthal ("The Walking Dead") and Dan Stevens ("The Guest," "Downton Abbey").



As for the plot of the flick, Starlog's sources also claim to have plenty of dirt on that, too, including that the film will be much more focused on a team of characters, rather than just Plissken as the main protagonist. The flick will follow Plissken as he "traverses through a treacherous New York landscape with a rogues gallery of criminals who look to leave the island-turned-prison in exchange for the rescue of the captured U.S. President," Starlog reports, mixing in characters both old and new.



Starlog has much more potential plot info about the film, which you can check out on their site. Whether any of this pans out remains to be seen, though considering how long it's been since there's been any word about this movie at all, we'll take what we can get at this point. Stay tuned.

Never Fear, 'Game of Thrones' Fans: You'll See Cersei Naked After All

Comic Con"Game of Thrones" producers were in a tough spot recently when their filming permit application was rejected by Croatian officials, citing religious objections to a nude scene set to be filmed in and around a local church. But a new report says that the show was able to come to an agreement with the government, and shooting of the scene in question will commence -- with some adjustments.



TMZ reports that officials from the Church of St. Nicholas -- whose power is absolute in Dubrovik, Croatia, where "Game of Thrones" is currently filming -- relented to producers' pleas to allow them to shoot the sequence, which features Cersei emerging naked from a church, and wandering through the streets. While the scene is an iconic one from George R.R. Martin's books, church leaders didn't see it that way, denying access due to an objection over public displays of sexuality.



However, the production was able to convince the church to relent slightly on that stance, and has now been allowed to film the scene as planned, with a few changes. Notably, TMZ reports, actress Lena Headey, who plays Cersei, will be allowed to stroll the streets in the buff "as long as she never sets foot in a church."



The site adds that producers plan to work around that stipulation by shooting the beginning of the scene on a fake church set, then cutting it into the other footage. Officials reportedly changed their mind after being swayed by the popularity of "GoT," and the money that the production brought into the country.



The fifth season of "Game of Thrones" -- nudity and all -- will premiere on HBO sometime early next year.

Idris Elba Threatens a Baby in This 'No Good Deed' Exclusive Clip

No Good DeedWhen Idris Elba wants to be scary, oh, can he be scary!



The guy who was so powerfully menacing as Stringer Bell on "The Wire" and brooding as a detective on "Luther" once again taps into his dark side in "No Good Deed." Elba plays a stranger who kidnaps a former district attorney (Taraji P. Henson) and her two young children.



In this exclusive clip, Elba shows how far he's willing to go to evade the law when Henson's car is pulled over by the police. He grabs her baby out of the back seat, growling, "It's just a little motivation to keep your mouth shut." But can she do that when the policeman asks her to step out of the car?



Find out, when "No Good Deed" hits theaters September 12.
