Jay Leno...Comics tar & feather NBC's strutting peacock...

Will Leno take it on the chin?

Well, if Jay Leno was sprawling on the couch last night - snacking on natchos and flipping channels to rustle up a bit of material for this weeks run of "show" of "shows" - it was probably a tough row to hoe.

No wonder!

All over the night-time TV talk-show terrrain, the slack-jawed comic's contemporaries were tar-and-feathering the peacock network's top dawg!

Dave Letterman lit into him, for example, without mercy.

In a monologue called - "Law & Order: Leno's Victim's Unit" - he lumped the whole sorry cast of late-night comics together (Conan, Fallon & Carson Daly) and branded 'em Leno's victims.

Ouch!

Then, Dave drummed up a hilarious impression of the beleaguered comic - which was pretty darn impressive - according to most side-splitting accounts.

"They just want Conan to quit and go away and do a show in his basement," he later huffed.

Jimmy Kimmel - tossed on a "do" and in-your-face chin - and spiced up the schtik with an acid quip or two.

Will Leno take a swipe back tonight - or, be a goodie-two-shoes - and take it on the jaw?

News at - um - 10!

Contrary to popular belief Dave & Conan not one in the same person!

Giorgio Armani...Men's casual chic springs forward this season!

For spring/summer 2009, Armani is pushing a casual chic for men with the pannache to pull the look off.

Some of the offerings hail from the past - because oldies are golden goodies - after all.

Like the guru shirt - a mainstay that has made the rounds from generation to generation unscathed - save for an updated flourish or two to weather fashion's fickle trends.

Team it up with a pricey pair of designer jeans, quality loafers (sans socks), and a slouchy hat with distinct personality.

Cardigans - once sported by Dad to tool around the house - are now being worn flush against naked flesh and open at the neck and chest to reveal buffed torsos.

If you've got it, why not flaunt it with style?

A dress slack with pleats or cuffs , paired with well-crafted high-end shoes, round out the ubiquitous man-about-town appeal.

Bomber style leather jackets - with snaps and zippers (or not) - are making an entrance again this spring in slick, glossy fabrics, that add a splash of excitement to the outerwear.

Daring dudes will team it up with white linen pants, a raging pink silk dress shirt, and just maybe slip into one-of-a-kind cowboy boots!


In spite of these peacock rages venting themselves near and far, there will still be a big focus on elegant understated quality suits sparked up with classy accessories (such as designer ties, gold cuff-links on french cuffs, well-crafted signature belts, and even puffed-up pocket handkerchiefs hanging just so).



Life's not a dress rehearsal, 'ya know.

Get with it, Dude!
