Britney Spears Looks Super Glam On Jay Leno Appearance After “Wig-Wearing” Controversy

Britney Spears and Simon Cowell on Jay Leno

Britney Spears and Simon Cowell appeared on The Tonight Show Monday night for an interview with Jay Leno. The power duo judges were there to promote The X Factor live shows which kick off November 1.

Britney has been in the news for other reasons of late after her cover photo on the latest issue of Lucky magazine raised more than a few eyebrows. In the photo (see below/after the jump) Britney looks like she has undergone some major face-altering Photoshop changes. She also sports an extremely low hairline and appears to be wearing a wig. The reaction to the photo by Brit’s fans was so overwhelmingly bad that the magazine actually took to Twitter apologize. Continue reading

Owen Wilson Retells Story Of His Surfing Accident

Owen Wilson told Jay Leno during his appearance on The Tonight Show Tuesday that he received 24 stitches to his head after a recent surfing accident in Hawaii.

“I took on a wave that was probably too big for me. I went off the back and the board kinda caught air and the board came back and hit me in the forehead and I got 24 stitches,” Wilson said.

He then recounted an episode of his brother coming across a shark in the same area as his surfing accident, and told Leno that he was fearful of getting attacked as he paddled back to shore with a trail of blood around him. “I was thinking about the shark as I was paddling back in with a little blood dripping into the same cove where my brother was attacked recently!”

Watch what else he talked about during the interview:

Lady Gaga: “Madonna Loves Born This Way”

Lady Gaga was the guest on the Valentine’s Day episode of The Tonight Show and totally charmed the pants off Jay Leno by saying: This is not just a talk show! I’m just an Italian girl from New York. This is the big time for me!”

When asked how she celebrated her Grammy win, Gaga said: “I don’t remember very much. I know it was fun. I do remember being called drunky Gaga at some point.”

As for her new single, Born This Way which a lot of people accuse Gaga of ripping off Madonna, Gaga told Leno: “You know, there is really no one that is a more adoring and loving Madonna fan than me. I am the hugest fan personally and professionally.”

And the feeling may be mutual. Gaga continued: “I got an email from her people sending me their love and support on behalf of the single. And if the queen says it shall be, then it shall be.” So, there you have it. If Madonna doesn’t mind the alleged rip, why should we?

Gaga made two big announcements during the interview. First one: She is taping a film about Monster Ball for HBO. Second one: Her new music video will be out very soon.
