Kim Kardashian: What I've Learned from My Heartbreak
Originally posted 03/22/2012 09:15AM
Maybe Kim Kardashian could have it avoided it all: her 72-day-marriage, the subsequent split, the subsequent headlines.
Maybe she could have listened to some of her family members, the ones she shares the spotlight with in a reality TV empire, who were hesitant about her relationship with Kris Humphries.
"I'm a person where when I'm in love, you can't tell me anything," Kardashian, 31, said on Wednesday's Tonight Show with Jay Leno. "You gotta go through it yourself."

Home life just got sweeter for Josh Lucas.
The actor, 40, quietly got married last weekend, his rep confirms to PEOPLE.
The bride was identified only as Jessica, with whom he attended the J. Edgar premiere in November. No other details were immediately available, but the rep also confirmed that the couple are expecting their first child together.
Lucas, who was previously romantically linked with Rachel McAdams, revealed in January that he was engaged, saying on The Tonight Show he popped the question after he had a scary encounter with a mountain lion while filming a movie in Big Sur, Calif.

Jessica Simpson took her maternity wardrobe to new heights Monday night – with her footwear.
"We're waddling at this point," the expectant star, 31, told Jay Leno on Monday's Tonight Show. "I'm wearing six-inch heels today, and it's a lot of weight to carry on six inches."
Although Simpson, who recently went behind her dad's back to bare all for ELLE, says she's not quite ready to give birth to her baby girl, she's already preparing for the worst.
"Labor is really going to hurt," says the mother-to-be, whose new show Fashion Star premieres Tuesday (9:30 p.m. ET) on NBC. "I have so much respect for my mom and all the women across the world."

If there's one thing that raises the ire of excited trick-or-treaters Halloween, it's the inevitable house that gives out healthy snacks.

"Halloween is coming up. [Michelle has] been giving, for the last few years, the kids fruit and raisins in the bag," Obama lamented to Jay Leno on The Tonight Show Tuesday about his wife's Halloween giving.

Appearing on The Tonight Show on Tuesday, Jenna Fischer was asked by host Jay Leno if her parents were thrilled over their first grandchild.
"This is the second grandchild," The Office star corrected, "but first grandson."
When Leno jumped on the word grandson, Fischer confirmed that she and husband Lee Kirk are expecting a boy.
"This is the exclusive, Jay," says Fischer, 37, who appears in the upcoming film A Little Help. "When I went to my movie premiere the other day a reporter asked me if I knew what I was having, and I said I do, but I’m not sharing that yet because I’m [going to] have Jay be the first to know.”

Jay Leno: Conan O'Brien and I 'Got Screwed' by NBC
Originally posted 03/31/2010 03:30PM
Joy Behar may have been the guest on Tuesday's The Tonight Show, but host Jay Leno was the one who really dished.
In a short conversation backstage, Leno told Behar for her HLN show that he and Conan O'Brien were both "treated terribly" in January's shake-up at NBC, which eventually restored him as host of The Tonight Show.
"Conan got screwed. I got screwed," Leno said. "This is TV. The reason show business pays a lot of money is so when you get screwed you've got something left over."
But Leno expects O'Brien, who recently announced a 30-city North American tour, to return to television eventually.
Why Betty White Is Perfect for SNL

When you've got it, you've got it. And Betty White's got it. Saturday Night Live has picked a host who not only knows how to get the laughs, but is admired by the sketch show's cast.
When it comes to her knack for comedy, White's opening skit on Tuesday's Tonight Show, in which Jay Leno walks in on the 88-year-old actress showering in her dressing room, is case in point.
"It's okay, Jay, I'm not shy," White tells an apolgetic Leno as she peers out from behind the curtain and smiles innocently.
"Neither am I," says Hugh Jackman, poking his head out from the other side of the shower. "Can you pass me that loofah?"
Jimmy Kimmel Admits to Sucker-Punching Jay Leno – and Enjoying It
Originally posted 03/17/2010 10:40AM
For Jay Leno, the hits just keep on coming – from fellow talk show hosts, that is. Jimmy Kimmel visited the Late Show with David Letterman Tuesday, and the pair continued to use Leno as a verbal punching bag.
"I can't tell you how much I enjoyed your participation in the Jay Leno scandal," said Letterman, referring to the recent late-night talk show shakeup during which Leno replaced Conan O'Brien as the host of The Tonight Show. "I've known Jay a long, long time and it really got to be a lot of fun."
Although Kimmel joked that he and Leno are "very close," the late-night host couldn't help but join Letterman in dissing him.

PEOPLE's TV Critic Sizes Up Jay Leno's Return
Originally posted 03/02/2010 11:00AM
Back running NBC's Tonight Show, Jay Leno couldn't have been happier if he were a boy reunited with his dog. Or maybe a dog reunited with his boy. He bounced and bounded onto the stage.
"It's good to be home," he said Monday night. "I'm Jay Leno, your host – at least for a while." Then he launched into a string of jokes on the Olympics, Alan Greenspan, NBC, airlines, Cheerios, Dick Cheney's heart, The Bachelor, tight pants, Tiger Woods, everything under the moon. He said to band leader Kevin Eubanks: "Isn't 11:30 a lot more fun?"
Certainly more fun than 10 p.m.: The short-lived Jay Leno Show reduced NBC's last hour in prime time to a long, wide supermarket aisle selling nothing but Leno.
