JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE HIGHLIGHTS TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2011

WHO MANY WATCHED THE GRAMMYS THE OTHER NIGHT?  DID YOU SEE RICKY MARTIN?  WAS HE WEARING JUSTIN BIEBER'S PANTS?  HOW TIGHT WERE THOSE?  HE HAD ON THESE SILVER, SUPER TIGHT, LIKE THEY WERE PAINTED ON.  I KNOW HE RECENTLY CAME OUT OF THE CLOSET, BUT HE LOOKED LIKE HE CAME OUT OF THE DRYER.

ACCORDING TO "IN TOUCH", A CLOSE FRIEND OF CHARLIE SAYS THAT CHARLIE IS A FUNCTIONING ADDICT, WHO COMES HOME FROM WORK, GETS HIGH AND THEN STAYS UP ALL NIGHT WATCHING PORN.  I’M SORRY, THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE ADDICTION. THAT SOUNDS LIKE COLLEGE.

YOU PROBABLY HEARD THIS; ACCORDING TO RECENT REPORTS LINDSAY LOHAN SAID SHE HAD PLANS TO OPEN HER OWN JEWELRY STORE…APPARENTLY SHE WAS GETTING INVENTORY ONE PIECE AT A TIME.

LINDSAY LOHAN IS WORKING ON HER DEFENSE. HER LAWYER SAID THAT LINDSAY DIDN’T RETURN THAT NECKLACE BECAUSE SHE WAS TOO BUSY. WITH WHAT, OTHER COURT DATES?  SHE DOESN’T HAVE A JOB.

FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA TOLD REGIS AND KELLY SHE WAS EXPECTING JEWELRY ON VALENTINE'S DAY.  SHE SAID IT WOULDN'T BE ANYTHING EXTRAVAGANT BECAUSE BARACK TENDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE WHEN HE'S SPENDING HIS OWN MONEY.

ACCORDING TO "THE WALL STREET JOURNAL", FACEBOOK IS LOOKING IN TO BUYING TWITTER FOR AROUND 10-BILLION-DOLLARS.  IF ALL GOES AS PLANNED, THE COMPANY HOPES TO COMBINE THE TWO COMPANIES, CREATING THE BIGGEST WASTE OF TIME THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN.

HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THESE VIRTUAL DATING ASSISTANTS THAT FOR UP TO 1400 DOLLARS GUARANTEE TO GET YOU A DATE.  YOU PAY SOMEONE 1400 DOLLARS FOR A DATE, THAT'S NOT A VIRTUAL DATING ASSISTANT, THAT IS CALLED A PIMP.

MORE AND MORE DETAILS COMING OUT ON THOSE CHILEAN MINERS AND THEIR 69 DAYS TRAPPED UNDERGROUND—IT SEEMS THEY WERE GIVEN ALCOHOL, MARIJUANA, PORNOGRAPHY TO WATCH WHILE THEY WERE DOWN THERE.  AND YET, DESPITE THAT THEY STILL WANTED TO BE RESCUED.

THE MINERS SAID THEY WERE ONLY DAYS AWAY FROM CANNIBALISM.  SO IS SENDING MARIJUANA DOWN THERE A GOOD IDEA?  GUYS THINKING ABOUT CANNIBALISM…DO YOU WANT TO GIVE THEM THE MUNCHIES?  I DON’T THINK SO.  THAT SEEMS COUNTERPRODUCTIVE.

A BREWERY IN VERMONT SAYS THEY'VE FOUND A WAY TO USE THE SPENT GRAIN FROM THE BEER BREWING PROCESS AND TURN IT INTO NATURAL GAS.  THEY TURN BEER INTO GAS.  HOW MANY WOMEN ARE GOING, “MY HUSBAND DOES THAT EVERYDAY.  THAT IS NOT A HUGE DEAL.”

HEALTH OFFICIALS HERE IN CALIFORNIA ARE NOW INVESTIGATING CLAIMS THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE WERE HOSPITALIZED AFTER PARTYING AT THE PLAYBOY MANSION LAST WEEK.  LUCKILY HUGH HEFNER WAS ABLE TO CALL AN AMBULANCE USING HIS LIFE ALERT.
