Hollywood's highest-paid scab Jay Leno's recent solicitation of Ryan Phillippe's "gayest look" for his cameras, part of a longer, excruciatingly unfunny and offensive bit about the actor's role as TV's first gay teen on One Life To Live, has now spawned a website, called My Gayest Look For Jay Leno: It invites people to send in their gayest looks, which seem to involve a great deal of creative bird-flipping. The site was co-created by Avenue Q playwright Jeff Whitty, who previously penned an open letter beseeching The Tonight Show host to stop making homophobic jokes in his monologues. Leno apparently called him up for a half-hour talk about Whitty's concerns, but has since returned to his egregious ways. We fear it's time to call in Ross the Intern to mediate what is quickly growing into an ugly and contentious affair between Jay and the Gays.

Jay-fingering? Or does the double of that entendre cause nightmares?
oh i think leno's been fucking himself for quite a while now. usually in ongoing unfunny monologues.
@nojo: Yes. To the nightmares.
@nojo: so that's a two-finger Burbankian oil change, non?
@el smrtmnky: My star is yours.
@nojo: It's grey!
I knew there was a reason that I never watch late night talk shows. After checking out that clip, I remembered that I don't watch them because they're unfunny and offensive.
I'm wondering how many of these photos were taken specifically for the Jay Leno response and how many were already on file for use on Manhunt / match.com / Myspace profiles?
Jay Leno has been like this for years. I feel for his black band leader as he always turns to him during his 'black joke' shticks. Or if its a story about someone black. Suddenly his focus is on Kevin Eubanks. I think may be why Branford Marsalus (first one) left the show. Maybe not, but I've always noticed he does this to Kevin.
@Superstarsteve: He did that last night with a joke about how his Italian uncle could never get his mind around black people eating pasta. Very awkward.
Ugh, Jay Leno can be such a boor. He's like your mom's kid brother who's grown up to be a huge asshole who runs the biggest meatpacking plant somewhere in New Jersey, and he says the most insulting things about his Latino employees, and calls you a fairy because you don't like football. And your mom infuriatingly takes his side all the time with something like: "Al's just joking, he doesn't mean anything by that."
@Seth: uh huh...it's strange, he's been doing it for years though. But he's no Michael RIchards.
1. Ryan is not only not hot enough any more to pull off gay, he's not famous enough to walk offstage on Leno. And open your mouth when you're speaking, please.
2. Gay people on TV don't have lovers--we're only safe as long as we're asexual.
3. William--NOT Billy. At least try and make the character believeably gay.
