In a monologue that avoided the pointed barbs of the epic struggle, Jay Leno returned to “The Tonight Show” stage Monday night repeating the phrase, “It’s good to be home.”

“I’m Jay Leno, your host … at least for a while,” he continued, alluding to the battle for the coveted NBC time slot with short-lived tenant Conan O’Brien.

“I’ve got to admit that I’m a little nervous,” said Leno, “not because it’s my first night back. Because I know that Dave and Oprah are watching.”

Leno then went back to business as usual in the monologue, lampooning everything from the Olympics, Russians, Dick Cheney’s heart problems, the Toyota recall and Tiger Woods. Leno then dramatically unveiled the new desk he’ll sit at during his tenure as host.

Celebrity gossip has taken over the world. We are inundated with the goings-on of Hollywood A-listers (and Z-listers) everywhere we turn, so it’s no surprise that many of us find ourselves deeply connected to those we only know from afar. We get involved in their personal business like it is our own and really feel like they are a part of our lives.

Hell, I know I’m not the only one who freaked upon finding out Miley and Joe had broken up. I was really pulling for those two!

We all know that celebs are people too and that they are bound to screw up at some point (that’s the stuff we love most, isn’t it?), but there are just some screw-ups are unforgivable. Situations and decisions that leave us asking, “How could they do this to me?! How could they turn on me!?” (Yeah, it’s a little sick, but I say blame it on the cultural climate.)
