Breaking news from Fashion Week! Tom Ford's new cat-eye sunglasses have officially replaced the Rachel Zoe oversized bug eyes as the "go-to" look for Hollywood celebs who want to be noticed when they go incognito. Bloggers have been unkind to Scarlett Johansson (seen entering the Ed Sullivan Theater to tape an appearance with David Letterman), but I think she looks absolutely stunning. Feel free to insert your own cat pun, I'm still hung over. (Pic via Socialite Life)

Breaking news! David Letterman isn't very funny
…except this time the person he’s ragging on is Amanda Simpson, who was appointed by President Obama to the U.S. Commerce Department. Queers United, a fellow blog, reports that Letterman shows a picture of Simpson on his show, and then an audience refers to her as someone who used to be “a dude” and infers a sexual relationship with Ms. Simpson before running off in disgust.
While the show cleverly uses an audience member instead of David Letterman himself to deliver the offensive (and extremely unfunny joke), its pretty obvious that Letterman is simply ... Flag post
Wake up in the morning feelin' like P-Diddy? Well, that's gotta be better than Charlie Sheen, Joe Halderman, or Richard Heene this week. They've been brushing their teeth with controversy and, potentially, lots of legal bills. First, Charlie Sheen was unable to convince a Colorado court to withdraw a restraining order preventing him from seeing his wife after an alleged Christmas Day domestic violence incident involving a knife. David Letterman's alleged extortionist, Joe Halderman, is raising the Tiger Woods defense, saying if Rachel Uchitel can make bank for staying silent, then ... Flag post
“This is right on the money,” Letterman said after switching eyeglasses with Rachel Maddow Rachel Maddow had probably been booked for a guest appearance on David Letterman’s Late Show show prior to Wednesday when a skit during the show drew the ire of several LGBT advocacy groups, including GLADD. Some activists argued Thursday that she should have canceled her appearance in protest. She didn’t. And because she appeared on the top talk show and engaged Letterman with a meaty in-depth discussion of issues, Maddow probably attracted even more viewers to her show. Viewers of her show ...

The David Letterman show on the CBS network has insulted Amanda Simpson, a trans woman who was recently appointed to the U.S. Commerce Department by the Obama administration. In the clip below David Letterman announces the news, followed by a guest on his show who breaks out in shock that "Amanda used to be a dude" the man is disgusted and outraged and runs off stage, the segment insinuates the man had some sort of relationship with Simpson and reinforces the sentiment that being transgender is somehow disgusting, misleading, and abnormal.This isn't David Letterman's first transphobic problem, he made ...

"There were a couple more guys, on this sequel. There was a guy, kind of, maybe a 230-pound guy who was at the premiere, kind of Hispanic looking, and he was asking me to bite him as well. So I did. And surprisingly I kind of liked it afterwards... and I've been out to dinner a couple times with him since." – Robert Pattinson to David Letterman on the Late Show about the fact that it's not just teen girls and older women who ask him for a bite.

By now you’ve already heard that David Letterman revealed yesterday that a CBS producer tried to extort $2 million dollars out of the Late Show host by threatening to reveal that he had affairs with several female staffers.
In true Late Show form, the NY Post came out with its own Top 10 reasons Letterman came clean:
1.) He didn’t want the scandal to end up on Page Six.
2.) Why should Paul Shaffer get all the action?
3.) To steal the thunder from Sarah Palin’s new book.
4.) Ratings, ratings, ratings.
5.) With Leno out of the way, figures his only competition is ... Flag post Flag post Flag post Flag post
