Funny how you might not see Cher for years at a time while she hides out in Malibu, and suddenly she’s EVERYWHERE. She’s determined to make her new album “Closer to the Truth” (her first in 11 years) a hit, and her single “Woman’s World” already reached #1 on the Billboard Dance Club Chart. Above, she looks pretty sensational in her fishnets as she leaves the David Letterman show.

Alec Baldwin doesn’t look at all bothered by the fact that this equestrian act from the Big Apple Circus appeared on the Letterman show with him. When he was still married to his animal activist wife Kim Basinger, he didn’t think animals should be used for entertainment and he testified to the city council that the use of carriage horses in the park should be banned. Nowadays, he appears a lot more tolerant.
Rob Pattinson’s arrival and departure at The David Letterman Show caused a huge uproar on 53rd Street. Frenzied fans and sobbing women had to be corralled behind blockades but they busted loose and police closed down the whole block. Through it all Rob kept a pleasant look on his face and attempted to acknowledge and sign for as many people as possible. He has a good attitude toward his fans. It IS odd that People didn’t choose Rob as Sexiest Man Alive considering what he does to women.
We’re still adjusting to the idea of David Letterman as a casanova, but the facts cannot be denied. We were particularly surprised to learn that Dave had the nerve to bring his girlfriend/personal assistant, Stephanie Birkitt, along on his last family vacation with his wife and child to St Barts. Letterman’s wife Regina had no idea that Stephanie was anything more than an innocent coworker. Birkitt, a $200,000 a year “employee,” is currently on paid leave from the “Late Show.”
One person who has been conspicuously silent about the David Letterman scandal is Bonnie Hunt. Both midwesterners, Bonnie and Dave have been close friends for years – he always appreciated her talent. Back in the 90’s he helped her career enormously by backing two sitcoms for her and he even offered Bonnie the Late, Late Show after Craig Kilborn left. (Bonnie astutely felt she was more the daytime talkshow type.) To his obvious delight, she was a frequent guest on the Letterman show. Naturally that started us thinking that maybe Bonnie was one of Dave’s secret girlfriends. She’s cute and smart – definitely his type.
Not only were we surprised to learn that mild mannered midwestern born David Letterman (above with former assistant Stephanie Birkett) was a lothario in his own office, but we were equally shocked to find out the girls in the office still love him! In fact, Dave’s production company has always been known as female friendly – meaning they get hired and promoted and paid like men. Former employees who have dated Dave swoon that they never felt pressured by their boss and they were absolutely crazy about him! They found Dave to be funny and endearing. Not one of his former paramours has a bad word to say about Letterman and most were heartbroken when the relationship ended! “The girls all love him” offered one employee. So far it appears that he’s a lousy husband but not such a bad boss.
