Dear Gossips,

And the late night war rages on. And almost all of them are taking it to Jay Leno. No matter the network, no matter the time slot, from Kimmel to Ferguson and Letterman and Conan, it is unanimous – according to his peers, Jay is an obsequious network asskissing chump, Conan is getting f-cked over.

A full review of last night’s best moments has been put together by Gawker – click here to see, and while I highly recommend all of it, note in particular how Jimmy Kimmel sets Jay on fire, delivering a scathing impersonation complete with lame jokes and band participation and, yes, full costume.

You will note however that despite what seems to be public support of Conan O’Brien and the “cool kids” disdain for Jay, a poll appeared on People.com yesterday asking its MiniVan readers to choose their favourite among the three: Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien, or David Letterman. At press time (5am Wednesday morning), Jay is in the lead. A clear lead. I’ve screen capped the graph below. Bad taste wins, see?

Ricky Gervais guests on Conan tonight. Can’t wait.

As for Victoria Beckham on American Idol – many of you have emailed to comment about her appearance. Posh is good tv. We know this. We saw this on her one hour special. You either get Posh or you don’t. But I don’t watch Idol. Not even Posh could make me tune into Idol. Having said that, I YouTubed a few minutes of it this morning...and... while I’m sure her personality, per usual, was mayjah, she looked like f-cking hell. SO much makeup. SO MUCH MAKEUP. Wanted to blot her. And then I felt badly for her. Because you can imagine how insecure she’d have to be. To starve and to cover the way she does, the Great Pretender. And this is not the Posh I want. This is not the Posh you love to hate. Sympathy is the last emotion she’s hoping to elicit. Poor Posh.

Yours in gossip,

Lainey

PS. Hands Free  is not Nick Cannon. But this is the best guess EVER.
