Hollywood's Grand Dame of Gossip and Style
You know your jokes are bad when a wannabe jihadist is calling for you to be beheaded. David Letterman is receiving death threats after making a joke that caused an offended viewer to ask fellow Muslims to kill the late night talk show host.
Dave joked about the death of IIyas Kashmiri who was Osama bin Laden’s lieutenant. Apparently some late night lovin’ jihad wasn’t amused according to EW. A site frequented by Al-Qaeda played host to Umar al-Basrawi‘s request for Letterman’s tongue…
That is true If you believe Kutcher’s one time couch hump, Brittney Jones. If you recall Ashton and Jones made sweet, sweet home furnishings love and she told her tale to Star Magazine. (Click HERE for the details on Ashton Kutchers Affair and pics of Jones.)
Now, she is trying to milk the story for more coin to fund her Old Navy flip flop collection. After giving all the details of her bowling alley ho stroll and one night stand in one interview (armature famewhore move), Brittney is squealing about Kutcher and Moore’s open marriage.
Via Star per Radar:
“Ashton said he and Demi have an open relationship and have threesomes often. I didn’t feel at all like he had just cheated on his wife. It felt normal and OK. He (Ashton) said they share women, but he isn’t supposed to go off and sleep with women on his own. He explained that he and Demi had a deal where they had to share lovers. He felt bad that he had been with me and didn’t share.”
I am pretty sure she plucked this tale from HBO’s Real Sex. Although, it wouldn’t surprise me. Demi is a fan of taking pictures of herself in a bikini like some sort of MILF trolling Myspace circa 2004.

Nicolas Cage is trying his best to pay off his massive debt and his hair plugs by revealing secrets from his past while promoting his new flick ‘The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.’
Nic stopped by ‘Late Night with David Letterman’ last night and revealed that he and his cat, Louis, once ate psychedelic mushrooms…together…then they stared at one another…then Louis spoke to him…and the rest, well, watch the video.
Via TV Squad:
“I remember lying in my bed for hours, and Louis [the cat] was on the desk across from the bed for hours — staring at each other … And I had no doubt that he was my brother.”
All of this was in response to Letterman asking Cage if he ever drank beer in high school. Be careful Dave, some people are desperate to save what’s left of their plugs.

Howard Stern has no love for Jay Leno, and he’s surely not afraid to say it! CBS’ “The Early Show” gave the sometimes shocking radio host time Tuesday morning to slam the “Tonight Show” host when Harry Smith asked Stern about the Leno move on NBC – sending Stern launching into a mighty attack on Leno.
Per NY Daily News:
“Just the mere mention of Jay Leno’s name makes me to want to vomit,” Stern told “Early Show” anchor Harry Smith — who, not surprisingly, barely got a word in. “I don’t like this guy,” Stern said. “I don’t disguise it.”
The shock jock spoke to CBS live from his Sirius XM Radio studio for close to five minutes, once again accused Leno of stealing material from himself, David Letterman and even people in England. Stern said he felt that after Leno’s 10pm time slot failed, the respectable thing would have been for him to move to a new network and face Conan O’Brien and Letterman’s shows head-on.
“Jay Leno seems to be the kind of showbiz animal that won’t let go,” Stern said. “Jay is a lap dog.”
Ouch. I wouldn’t expect to see Stern on Leno’s lineup anytime soon.
Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees made a stop by the “Late Show with David Letterman” Monday night to discuss the New Orleans Saints’ over the Indianapolis Colts. Just like most of us, Dave was wrapped up in the moment when Brees proudly held his son after the big win. Dave even treated us to a new “Sports Illustrated” cover with Brees and his son Baylen on the cover. Brees said that he dreamed of the moment where he would stand up on the Super Bowl podium with his son long before Baylen was born.
Its been quite a busy 24 hours for Brees, who after the Superbowl traveled to Disney World to be apart of the parade with Mickey and company before hopping on a plane to make his Letterman appearance. Oh yea, lets not forget about the Dove campaign spot he’s now in, shirtless and stripping down to nothing more than boxers, lathering up in the shower.
Per PR Newswire:
“I am happy to be participating in this new campaign for Dove Men+Care because it is about celebrating the moments in men’s lives when we become comfortable with who we are,” said Brees. “The experiences I have had this year, becoming a father for the first time, achieving professional success and having the support of the people of New Orleans have all helped me reach my own definition of success.”
Too bad he’s got his boxers on. I sure wouldn’t mind joining him.

Keifer Sutherland showed up to David Letterman’s show in a dress. The “24” star lost a bet after “being so sure” the Patriots were going to win last weekend. Obviously they lost and Keifer had to shop for a dress and then wear it proudly on the Late Show.
Meh, dudes in dresses are a common occurrence around my digs. What? Don’t tell me you have never watched “The Birdcage” with a queen and had a sing-a-long at the end when they all escape the club singing “We are Family.”
The Script is a three-piece Irish pop rock band from Dublin, Ireland consisting of members Danny O’Donoghue, Mark Sheehan, and Glen Power. They are a whole new brand of celtic soul, blending ‘hip hop lyrical flow with pop melodiousness, state-of-the-art R’n'B production with anthemic rock dynamics, classic song construction with gritty contemporary narratives.’
Per Total Assault:
“Irish people have soul,” according to Danny. “It comes from generations of pain, and generations of understanding emotion to be able to physically get that in a solid sound.”
The Script received an award at the World Music Awards for ‘Best Selling Irish Act‘ of 2008, and the ‘Best Band‘ award at the BalconyTV Music Video Awards 2008. They were also nominated for a number of awards at the 2009 Meteor Ireland Music Awards along with a nomination for ‘Best Album‘ at the Choice Music Prize. After reaching #15 on the charts with their debut single “We Cry,” their 2nd single “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved” hit the #2 spot. Their debut album, “The Script,” was released in August 2008 and went straight to #1 on iTunes UK & Ireland. Their 3rd single “Breakeven” was released in November 2008, and have just released the video for the single. They are currently on tour with American Idol’s Season 7 Winner David Cook, but will take time out of their busy schedule to make appearances on “It’s On With Alexa Chung” on November 16th and “The Late Show with David Letterman” on November 17th.
Check out the video for “Breakeven” above, and then swing by iTunes to pick up their self-titled debut album. I love this song. If you have ever been through a bad breakup – and honestly, who hasn’t? – then you can relate to this song. Its beautiful and it touches me – possibly because it speaks the truth.
[David Letterman Apology to Wife, Regina Lasko, Video]
Last week, talk show host David Letterman used his show to come clean about his reported affairs with female staffers. Naturally, he did this only after he received threats from Robert “Joe” Halderman, a former Late Show producer, who tried to extort $2 million from the host.
Despite efforts to remain serious, Letterman’s audience continued to laugh as he revealed the exortion plot against him.
And although the American public seems to have forgiven Dave’s infidelity, his wife, Regina Lasko, does not seem to agree.
While taping two shows on Monday, PopEater reports that Letterman issued the following on-air apology to his wife:
Via Radar:
“…the other thing is my wife, Regina. She has been horribly hurt by my behavior, and when something happens like that, if you hurt a person and it’s your responsibility, you try to fix it. And at that point, there’s only two things that can happen: either you’re going to make some progress and get it fixed, or you’re going to fall short and perhaps not get it fixed, so let me tell you folks, I got my work cut out for me.”
Seriously Dave? You think the best way to apologize to your wife for playing hide-the-salami with your 20-something staff members is to remind everyone again of what you did?
It’s getting as ridiculous as Spenser and Heidi demanding privacy.

A CBS producer was arrested yesterday after trying to extort $2 million dollars from David Letterman. Robert Halderman, a 51 year old Emmy Award winning producer who was behind “48 Hours,” threatened to go public with torrid tales of Letterman’s work related sexual conquests. The “Late Show” host pursued police involvement and handed over a fake check.
After the incident PopEater reported that David decided to go public before the media got a hold of it and ripped him apart. Smart. Very smart. During last night’s show he explained the entire situation that started about 3 weeks ago and admitted to having sex with some of his colleges.
“In the back seat of my car, there’s a package that I don’t recognize. What this is, is a guy is going to write a screenplay about me and he’s going to take all the terrible stuff that he knows about my life and he’s going to put it into a movie unless I give him some money,” Letterman explained to the audience.
He continued on explaining that Halderman was arrested.
“This morning, I did something I’ve never done in my life,” Letterman told viewers. “I had to go downtown and testify before a grand jury. This whole thing has been quite scary,” he said. “I had to tell them how I was disturbed by this. I was scared for my family. I felt menaced by this man.” Then, Letterman added, “I had to tell them all the creepy things I had done.” The audience roared with laughter. “Now why is that funny?” Letterman asked.
“Now of course we get to what was it was – we get to all the creepy stuff,” Letterman said, taking a more serious tone. “I have had sex with women who work for me on this show.” Letterman said the grand jury asked if the accusations were true.”Yes, I have,” was his answer.
“Would it be embarrassing if it were made public? Perhaps it would – especially for the women,” he joked. “But that’s a decision for them, if they want to go public and talk. It’s been a very bizarre experience,” Letterman added. “I feel like I need to protect my family. I need to protect myself and I hope to protect my job.”
What’s the big deal? So he dipped his pen in the office ink. Who hasn’t. I bet someone is “dipping” right now on the copy machine on the second floor somewhere out there. It’s no like he kicked a kitten, stole Taylor Swift’s moment of glory or slapped a nun.
UPDATE – Name dropping has begun. Stephanie Birkitt has been spilling the beans. She was a former employee of the Late Show and Joe Halderman’s latest girlfriend. Photos of Stephanie Birkitt are below.
