You’ve read about the Cold War-level skulduggery that went into keeping that Letterman/Leno/Oprah Late Show promo secret in the days before the Super Bowl. Tonight, Jay Leno gave his side of the story on his show.

It was nothing that we didn’t already know: Dave’s producer called up Jay’s producer and asked if Jay would want to be in the spot. Jay said yes and the two recorded the ad in a super-secret shoot with Oprah last week.

Some have wondered what Leno could possibly have to gain from appearing in a spot for his soon-to-be rival (again). Tonight, Leno spun the ad as a very public move to clear the air of any leftover fog of Late Night War in advance of his move back to The Tonight Show:

I walk in and I see Dave, and he puts out his hand and we shake hands. And you know, whatever happened for the last 18 years disappeared. It was great to see my old friend again. It was wonderful—he was very gracious, we talked about the old days, we told some jokes… you know, it was really good to see him.

But if the Late Night Wars spectacular ratings boost are any guide, Leno should be throwing darts at a picture of Dave’s face right about now.

You know she wants him to!

In a stunning upset, Reggie Bush and the New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl last night against the Indianapolis Colts. And while we feel bad for Kendra Wilkinson, we’re excited for Kim Kardashian!

She Tweeted about her excitement, natch, but what we really wanna know now is if Reggie will FINALLY put a ring on it!

Khloe’s married and Kourt already has a baby – time for Kim to get engaged! She posted this pic of her gold Minx nails: BUSH with a #25 on her thumb…

Beyonce has been working hard on her hot body and she wants us all to know it! Sasha Fierce started a situation on the balcony of her Rio hotel, where a dressed down diva, in nothing but boxers and a tee shirt, showed off a toned and taut belly.

She’s clearly got the gym part down, all she needs now is the tanning and laundry.

And although Beyonce was feeling friendly at her hotel, she had no time to stop for her fans while en route to the HSBC Arena for another performance of her “I Am…” world tour:

Ok, maybe that's getting a little old.

A slice of deliciousness from the fashion icon!

Donatella Versace talks about the rise of the supermodel – no mention of Janice Dickinson, sorry! – and her career in the ego-ridden industry to Love Magazine, and leaves us with some brillz quotes:

“I don’t even know what my natural [hair] color is. Natural? What is natural? What is that? I do not believe in totally natural for women. For me, natural has something to do with vegetables.”

Ohhhh, Donatella! She also says, “If you are going to be very clever, too clever, be a scientist. I am not a scientist.”

You’re def no scientist – a diva, maybe, but no scientist!
Kisses!

Mmkay, Kendra – whatever you say!

The reality starlet’s hubby and the Colts lost to the Saints in the Super Bowl yesterday, and poor Kendra Wilkinson was in tears upon leaving the stadium… why? Read her Tweets below!
