The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports Jay Leno fell off his motorcycle last week. He broke his collarbone and two ribs. He also has two cracked kneecaps. Jay was testing his vintage 1940 Indian motorcycle when he got clotheslined while driving down an alley. Jay hit a wire and fell off his bike. It kept going. His show “Jay Leno’s Garage” is at the end of it’s run as well, ending Jay’s 30-year run of having a show on an NBC/Universal channel. (Unless they give him yet ANOTHER show.)

The International News says casinos and betting agencies are offering odds on Jimmy Kimmel getting slapped when he hosts the Oscars. Jimmy says, “Will any host or award presenter be slapped during the show? If you put $100 on yes, you win $1,200 — which, I have to say, seems like they’re encouraging someone with a gambling problem to slap me.” or just trying to get some interest back into their show.

Welcome to The List,
Game show host Chuck Woolery died on Saturday at his home in Texas. . . . TMZ reports that he went to lie down because he wasn't feeling well.
Chuck was the original host of "Wheel of Fortune" back in the late '70s . . . he went on to host the "Scrabble" game show in the '80s . . . and of course "Love Connection" from 1983 to 1994.
He also did some later shows, like "Lingo" on the Game Show Network, and "Greed" on Fox.
There's no word on a cause of death, Chuck Woolery was 83…

"Billboard" put out their list of the Top 100 Country Singers of All Time . . . and some folks are less than pleased. Specifically, because Taylor Swift was ranked above Brooks & Dunn, Hank Williams Jr., and Toby Keith. Also, Jason Aldean didn't even make the list at all..what’s THAT all about…..

Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes is making around $50 million a year. But now, his wallet will be 0.03% LIGHTER . . . thanks to FINGER GUNS.
The NFL has fined Patrick $14,069 for the "violent gesture" he made last week, while celebrating a touchdown. He'd just scored on Buffalo, and Patrick used both hands to mimic firing dual pistols.
Let's be honest . . . he wouldn't have been fined for mimicking a bow and arrow . . . throwing knives . . . or dramatically acting out the extremely violent "finishing moves" from "Mortal Kombat". (Although that would be amusing.)
