Recently, NBC’s Law & Order used a plot point that stemmed from all the Jon and Kate Gosselin drama. Their inspiration this week? David Letterman’s alleged extortion sex scandal!
NBC execs recently revealed to Access Hollywood they had actually started plotting a similar story at the time Letterman revealed the sexcapades that lead to his $2 million extortion plot by CBS producer Robert “Joe” Halderman.
“We were already working on a blackmail story that’s somewhat more violent,” Executive Producer Rene Balcer told Access in early October. “And who knows? This one may add a spin to the story we’re working on.”
According to a just-released casting notice, the episode will revolve around a well-known female celebrity talk show host who engaged in “a series of short-lived affairs with some of the employees on the show and up until now has managed to keep them off the radar.” Later, a blackmailer asks the host for $3 million.
The in-the-works episode does not have an air date yet.
Just last month, Halderman entered a not guilty plea to the extortion charges in New York City.
So bizarre that the off-the-wall story lines portrayed on Law and Order are beginning to stem from real life events!
All the men of planet earth can breathe a sigh of relief — mega diva Madonna has announced that she won’t be throwing on a wedding dress ever again.
That is, unless it’s for one of her jaw-dropping tacky stage performances…
The self-centered superstar told David Letterman Wednesday night on The Late Show that not only will she never get married again — she’d rather be hit by a train!
“I think I’d rather get run over by a train,” the Material Girl — who has been married twice to Sean Penn and then Guy Ritchie — told Letterman.
Madge referred to her 8-year marriage to Ritchie as “the Bush years” and rolled her eyes when Letterman brought up A-Rod.
“Didn’t you almost get arrested for bringing up A-Rod’s name?” she joked.
Letterman corrected her by saying he didn’t get arrested, but almost got fired! LOL!
It’s no shock Madonna will never marry again. People who are as in love with themselves as Madonna — are not capable of loving anyone else nearly as much if at all. That’s why she’s middle-aged, single and sleeping around with embarrassing people like busboys more than half her age!
P.S. What’s up with cross around the usually Kabbalah-obsessed diva’s neck? Is she Catholic, Jewish, WTF?!?!
Sarah Jessica Parker and husband Matthew Broderick have welcomed twin girls into their family!
The birth was announced this morning on The View.
The girls were born this morning at the East Ohio Regional Hospital in Martins Ferry, where Parker and Broderick accompanied the surrogate mother, reports WTRF in Ohio.
In May, Broderick confided in David Letterman he was “nervous even thinking about” having twins.
“I’m ready. You know, I’ve asked people, ‘What’s it like to have twins?’ One father said, ‘I don’t recommend it,’” joked Broderick. “But the rest have been very positive.”
No names have yet been confirmed for the twins, but we’re sure they’ll be something fabulous. Perhaps Charlotte? Samantha?!
Regardless, we’re excited for SJP and hope her real life parallels with her on-screen life and Sex And The City 2 brings Big and Carrie a baby!
A week after David Letterman made a distasteful joke about Sarah Palin’s teenage daughter, he’s apologizing again!
During the taping of Monday’s Late Show, Letterman explains that the tacky joke referencing Sarah Palins’s 14 year-old daughter, Willow, got “knocked up” by Alex Rodriguez during their recent trip to New York’s Yankee Stadium, was intended for Palin’s 18-year-old daughter Bristol.
“It’s not your fault that it was misunderstood,” he said on his show. “It’s my fault.”
Letterman concluded his second attempt at apologizing by saying he will try to do better in the future.
Critics thought Letterman’s first apology last week was insincere. Letterman smirked during the initial apology and downplayed the lewd joke by saying that most of the jokes he says are in bad taste and he regrets almost all of them.
Letterman has received criticism from all sorts of public figures ranging from the women of The View and the Alaska governor herself. Palin said he owes an apology to “young women across the country” on the Today show Friday.
Letterman’s second apology is too little too late. If he would’ve issued a genuine apology the first time around, the public would’ve found it way easier to forgive him. He’s not sorry - he’s just sorry he’s getting such bad press for his despicable comment. The bottom line is that no joke - especially ones insinuating the rape of a teenage girl - should be made about ANY politician’s child no matter what their political affiliations are. Period!
Paula Abdul opened up to late night host David Letterman Thursday night about her future on American Idol.
Although the American Idol judge loves her job, it has yet to be decided whether or not she’ll return next season.
“I never said [I wasn't returning]. I just said that I’m not sure,” Abdul told Letterman. “It’s called, um ‘negotiating’,” she joked.
Hmm, interesting. Sounds like she’s either asking for a pay increase or wants new judge, Kara DioGuardi, off the show!
Surprisingly, when asked about DioGruardi, Abdul couldn’t have been nicer.
“Kara’s great. I don’t understand why they do this to women; they love to pit women against each other. Maybe because it’s sexier, I don’t know. Maybe mud wrestling, the whole thing.”
Mud wrestling, Paula?! Maybe your contract is currently under negotiation because they’re tired of your crack-head antics!
With all the hoopla surrounding Conan O’Brien’s takeover of Jay Leno’s spot at The Tonight Show on NBC, David Letterman worked hard to remind us that he’s still here!
“I’m still here,” Letterman said in his opening monologue over at CBS Monday night. “I knocked off another competitor.”
He said he had the strangest day starting off with a morning call from his mom who knocked him for losing Leno’s gig to Conan. “She said, ‘Well, David, I see you didn’t get The Tonight Show again’,” Letterman said in a reference to losing out to Leno to become Johnny Carson’s successor.
U2 rockers, Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen, Jr., presented the Top Ten Things U2 Has Learned Over the Years on Wednesday night on the Late Show with David Letterman. The most shocking revelation was made by The Edge who announced he sucks at Guitar Hero!
WTF!
Here’s the top ten list:
10. Bono: “A lot of people think I’m the guy who sang with Cher.”
9. The Edge: “I suck at Guitar Hero.”
8. Adam Clayton: “Dumb people send us videos all the time. They think we’re You Tube.”
7. Larry Mullen Jr.: “Even my family asks, ‘Are you Adam or Larry?’”
6. Bono: “There’s always quite a stir at Applebee’s when they call, ‘U2 – party of four.’”
5. Edge: (Chryon reads: “Cool name: The Edge. Uncool name: The Itch”; The Edge ad libs: “Cool name: The Edge. Uncool name: Sting”)
4. Adam: “Melted cheese tastes good on practically everything.”
3. Larry: “Sometimes when we shout, ‘Are you ready to rock?’ I don’t care if you’re ready to rock.”
2. Bono, Edge, Adam, Larry: “It’s never too soon to start working on a phony Irish accent.”
1. Bono: “Up close, you can totally see Letterman’s hairpiece.”
Joaquin Phoenix went on The Late Show with David Letterman out of his mind on who knows what last night!
The SnortWalk the Line star is twitching, fidgeting and can barely even talk! I give David Letterman some major props, because he played off the train wreck appearance very well.
One of Letterman’s best lines to Phoenix was: “And here’s my hope that after some time off…and I think you’re taking some time off tonight, I’m hoping you’ll reconsider and come back to acting!”
At the end of the one-sided interview, Letterman signed off with: “And Joaquin I’m sorry you couldn’t be here tonight - we owe an apology to Farrah Fawcett!”
The first time you watch this video it’s hilarious and shocking. The second time, it’s sad! This dude needs help! This should be an anti-drug commercial. Say no to drugs kids!
Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich is the gift that just keeps giving.
Last night he went on The Late Show with David Letterman and right off the bat the late-night host asked: “Why exactly are you here? Honest to God!”
“You know I have been wanting to be on your show in the worst way for the longest time,” Blago said.
“Well, you’re on in the worst way — no getting around that!” Letterman said.
Ha! G-Rod just walked right into that one!
Blago went on to claim his innocence for the millionth time blah, blah, blah and then he had the balls to tell Letterman his top 10 list isn’t funny. Now that is funny. It’s actually hilarious!
Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!!! Team Blago! Thanks G-Rod for providing us with days of laughter!
