Bette Midler is such a fan of Kim Kardashian that she named one of her chickens after her, Jimmy Kimmel explained on Monday night's Kimmel Live. So naturally, Midler was game for a little mockery, singing some of Kardashian's 140-character (or less!) drops of wisdom in true cabaret style, with piano accompaniment and Twitter backdrop. If imitation is the highest form of flattery, where does creating a temple to a Twitter account rank? Midler is, as you'd expect, delightfully deprecating. Watch below. —Peter Weber
