Watch Bette Midler Sing Kim Kardashian Tweets

By Anne Cohen March 10, 2015

What’s better than mocking a Kim Kardashian tweet? Hearing Bette Midler sing them out loud.

During an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Monday, the Broadway star took the comedian’s signature bit, “Celebrities Read Mean Tweets,” one step further, belting out such gems as: “Ugh, I hate falling asleep with all my makeup on,” and “I never thought I would ever say this … But I’m wearing flats today.”

Thank you Bette, for giving voice to Kim’s deepest and darkest thoughts.
