Have ABC and CBS been discouraging their talent from booking appearances on The Jay Leno Show?

Shenae Grimes and Jessica Stroup, stars of The CW’s teen drama Beverly Hills, 90210, showed off their special hidden talents while poking fun at TMZ in this new “JMZ” spoof, which appeared on The Jay Leno Show this week.

Inaugural week on The Jay Leno Show continued Thursday, with Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry dropping by to slam a recent In Touch Weekly report claiming she is expecting her second child with her model beau of four years, Gabriel Aubry. The couple welcomed 18-month-old daughter Nahla in 2007 and Halle says her womb remains unoccupied.

Jay complimented the star’s slender frame.

“Thank you for that Jay because that must mean all these pregnancy rumors can be put to bed. I was getting a complex. I was like, I have to stop with the burgers or something,” said Halle, who was the Polaroid of Perfection in a little black dress and knee-high boots.

Wichita co-stars Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz fielded some provocative questions during their appearance on The Jay Leno Show Tuesday night.

“I try to excel in all areas and I’ve never been asked for a refund,” Tom laughed when Leno asked if he was better at flying or sex.

The actor even sang a line of Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t She Lovely?” in honor of daughter Suri. Cameron revealed her love for Bravo’s Real Housewives franchise. “I do have a thing about the ‘Real Housewives’ — OC, Jersey, Atlanta — the drama there is beyond, you can’t write stuff like that!” Cameron told Jay.

In case you missed it, here’s a video of Jay-Z, Kanye, and Rihanna performing their hit single “Run This Town” on the inaugural episode of NBC’s The Jay Leno Show on Monday.
