Dave Salmoni Addresses Chelsea Handler Breakup (VIDEO)

Animal Planet star Dave Salmoni visited 'The Tonight Show' on Tuesday and brought along a baby jaguar that bit Jay Leno on the chin. Jay fired back by teasing Dave about his recent breakup with Chelsea Handler.

"And speaking of dealing with big cats, how are you and Chelsea Handler doing?" Jay asked.

"No, I don't think we're doing any more," Dave said.

"Couldn't handle that predator, could you?" Jay joked before Dave steered the conversation back to jaguars.

Chelsea has recently been spotted out with 50 Cent.

I've always thought Dave is a fine specimen of Grade A Beefcake...I'd put on a jaguar suit to sit in his lap anytime...

I would break up with her too. She is annoying and painfully unfunny.

Morato the Jaguar nibbled me too! Watch the video of the same Jaguar from Cat Haven (cathaven.com) sitting in my lap:

Where is Morato's mother and why is he separated from her at such a young age?

[MendelsonImages]

Ask the good folks at Cat Haven. They can give you all the details as they are very focused on conservation! I believe his mother lives at Cat Haven too. Morato is 12 weeks old:

Dave Salmoni is so adorable and handsome. If you haven't seen his modeling pictures, I highly recommend them. He's definitely more of a catch than Fiddy, but I'm not surprised that Chelsea Handler can't see that.

I think the real story is that he didnt quite "measure-up" to 50 Cent. More like 10 cent. Im just sayin'

[GrownupStewie]

01:54 PM on 11/10/2010

i would date 50 cent for his money....anyone who wouldn't is either wealthier or dead..

Not sure there's enough money for me to have to wake up/go to sleep next to that face & hear that voice all the time.....
