Jay Leno was embarrassed when news broke that he did not offer to pay staffers during the strike. David Letterman and Conan O’Brien did offer to pay staffers. Jay was caught off guard, and on camera, with questions about the pay controversy. Jay kept covering up the camera, and finally said he would pay staffers out of his own pocket, but would reevaluate the situation on a weekly basis. Jay is as stubborn as a Donkey.

Rumer Willis has been chosen to be the 2008 Miss Golden Globe. Bruce Willis and Demi Moore must be proud. HFPA says:

Ellen DeGeneres isn’t just pushing the boundaries of accepted behavior in society, but she’s also raging against writers who want their fair share of profits. Ellen is pictured here crossing the striking writer’s picket line so she could do her show, even though some of her writers are picketing. Ellen told her audience:

"I want to say I love my writers. I love them. In honor of them today, I’m not going to do a monologue. I support them and hope that they get everything they’re asking for. And I hope it works out soon. In the meantime, people have traveled across the country. They’ve made plans. They’re here. I want to do everything I can to make your trip enjoyable and give you a show."

David Letterman, Jay Leno, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and Conan O’Brien, who himself was an SNL writer, all shut down their show to support the writers, but not Ellen. Governor Arnold is trying to negotiate an agreement because he says everyone involved, including the writers, have money and won’t be hurt by the strike, but the camera men, carpenters, studio crews, etc., will be hurt by the strike. Had Ellen mentioned any of those people I might have given her a pass, but crossing the picket line makes her a bad guy, er butch lesbian, or whatever.

“I feel like I’m really famous now. When you decide to be a part of this profession and put yourself out there, then you kind of have to accept what it is. [Fame] it’s a 24-hour job. It doesn’t matter if you are going out to a restaurant – you have to be aware of what you are doing and how you look and how you are presenting yourself, because most of the time people never get to know you.”

- Awestruck by a little attention Rumer Willis (Where was Jay Leno the night Rumer was conceived?)

Can you name one thing Rumer has done … career wise?

Gordon Ramsay, celebrity chef and 40 years-old, was on Jay Leno, and he just can’t keep himself from offending everyone. Ramsay may go down in the history books as the first chef ever to be gunned down like a rapper.
