Actor Kate Beckinsale<\/a> and host Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> went off on a Donald Trump<\/a> jag Monday about how the host loves to spank the president. That sparked theories over the identity of \u201cBubba\u201d in the Jeffrey Epstein emails<\/a> and a debate over what exactly \u201cblowing\u201d means.<\/p>\n

The British star, who was promoting her new movie \u201cWildcat<\/a>\u201d on \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live,\u201d got catty after host Kimmel made an off-key overture to massage her sore knee.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince you\u2019ve been spanking Trump, you might as well rub my knee,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe likes to be spanked,\u201d Kimmel remarked.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, are you Bubba?\u201d Beckinsale asked, referring to the name mentioned in a 2018 email in which Mark Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s brother, wrote to his sibling, \u201cAsk him if Putin has the photos of Trump blowing Bubba.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cUnderworld\u201d star said she\u2019s on a \u201chuge mission to find out\u201d who Bubba is, so Kimmel asked for her guess.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s the horse,\u201d Beckinsale said, leaning on an actual rumor<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Kimmel surmised it was some rich golfer who meant it as a \u201ckissing his ass kind of thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Watching Beckinsale nod no, Kimmel countered, \u201cYou don\u2019t think so?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think blowing means blowing,\u201d Beckinsale replied to laughter.<\/p>\n

Fast-forward to the one-minute mark for the Trump tangent:<\/p>\n

Kimmel remains a devoted nemesis of Trump even after apparent pressure from the president\u2019s FCC prompted Disney to yank \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live\u201d off the air temporarily in September.<\/p>\n

Having a guest who\u2019s not a politician or in the media join in on the roasting \u2015 even if unintentional \u2015 will perhaps catch the president\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Actor Kate Beckinsale and host Jimmy Kimmel went off on a Donald Trump jag Monday about how the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":159566,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[969,93,61,60,3484,66432,282],"class_list":{"0":"post-159565","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-donald-trump","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland","12":"tag-jimmy-kimmel","13":"tag-kate-beckinsale","14":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159565","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=159565"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159565\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/159566"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=159565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=159565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=159565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
