Jay Leno Lights Kim Kardashian’s Engagement Ring On Fire!

Talk show host Jay Leno had Kim Kardashian on the edge of her seat during a recent TV interview when she allowed the presenter to put to rest rumours her 20.5 carat diamond engagement ring is a fake - by setting the sparkler alight.

Basketball star Kris Humphries proposed to the TV beauty last month (May11), presenting her with a Lorraine Schwartz ring worth an estimated $2 million (£1.25 million), but the couple has been dogged by allegations the huge gem is just for show, and Leno decided to help Kardashian settle the matter once and for all when she appeared as a guest on The Tonight Show on Tuesday (14Jun11).

Leno explained that there was only one true test to tell whether a diamond is real or not - if the stone is bogus, the chemicals in the synthetic material used to make up the gem will cause it to catch fire.

A nervous Kardashian tentatively handed over the pricey piece of jewellery, laughing, "Wait, since I'm into contracts, will you sign a contract so that if something happens to it you will pay the insurance?"

Leno agreed, replying, "The nice thing is that if it's real, then nothing will happen, but if it's fake then obviously this Mr Humphries has some explaining to do."

The comedian then held a lit match up to the ring - and it became engulfed in flames, prompting the studio audience to gasp as Kardashian forced a smile.

But Leno quickly calmed the reality star's fears by revealing it had all been a big prank and that he had switched the ring for a cheap imitation.

Paris Hilton Enters Jay Leno's Show On a Pink Motorbike

Paris Hilton entered Jay Leno's talk show on a pink and white motorbike wearing skin-tight white trousers, stilettos and a leather jacket.

The 30-year-old socialite later changed into a revealing little black dress while she touted her new reality show The World According to Paris.

“Nothing is off limits,” she said.

“So the cameras follow you everywhere?” asked Leno. “So, you’re in the bathtub going ‘hi guys’.'

“There is a little bath scene in there,” said the actress with a wry smile.

The Simple Life star also admitted to having a nightclub built into her house so she can party in seclusion.

“We don’t have TMZ waiting outside, it’s just private and nice,” said Hilton, who says her home-discothèque accommodates more than 200 people.

“I’ve had Hugh Hefner and the girls in there on the strip pole,” she said. “He loves my house parties.”

Ryan Seacrest: 'American Idol race is tight'

Tonight's episode of the Fox competition will see Lauren Alaina, Scotty McCreery and Haley Reinhart each singing three songs in a bid to advance to next week's season ten grand finale.

Speaking on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, host Seacrest said: "Randy gave Haley a bit of a hard time so it will be interesting to see if there's a backlash to that vote and where the teen girls' vote will go... It's very tight. They're going to do three songs each this week and the way it's been going, I think it will come down to how they perform this week."

When pressed by Leno for a prediction on who could win, he quipped: "I think Kirstie Alley is doing a great job and she may win it all!" Alley is one of the finalists currently competing on Dancing with the Stars.

Seacrest also admitted during the Tuesday night interview that he sometimes doesn't understand what judge Steven Tyler means by some of his critiques when he has to recap the judges' comments on the results show.

"I look down at the card and panic inside because I've got to read back what Steven Tyler has said the night before and sometimes I'm not quite sure what he means and neither is the kid," he laughed. "They're looking at me, I'm looking at them…

"It's, 'Randy thought you were pitchy, dawg, or whatever. Jennifer thought you were fantastic. Steven Tyler said, 'Hell fire save some matches, F a duck and see what hatches' (sic).''

"I'm thinking, 'Just get to the nationwide vote and don't screw this up!'"

However, the presenter - who was recently named the most powerful man in reality television - praised all three judges for doing a "fantastic job" over the course of the tenth season.
