National Enquirer Is Back! Claims Letterman Sex Tape
Apparently, the best way to become a respectable (ish), reliable news source is to break a sordid story about a famous (somewhat beloved) politican, be ignored by the mainstream media for months, and then finally be proved right! Welcome to the new world of the National Enquirer.
David Letterman appears to be reaping the rewards of the NE’s newfound respect — or perhaps fear factor is a better way to phrase it. No one wants to miss a story as big as John Edwards ever again, because they’ve mistakenly relegated the Enquirer to the supermarket tabloid pile. Here’s the story, which is currently riding high on the HuffPo media page, but which I also came across earlier on the usually rather conservative mediabistro.com homepage. Short version: apparently there’s a Letterman sex tape:
Scandal-plagued talk-show host David Letterman has been rocked by a shocking new bombshell – reports of a sex tape showing him with a female staff member.
A studio surveillance tape reportedly caught the 62-year-old star and a much-younger female co-worker in a compromising position – and it could shatter Letterman’s already troubled marriage, say sources.
What’s more, the tape could persuade worried CBS execs to hammer the final nail into the talk-show host’s late-night career – and could play a key role in the trial of the producer who allegedly tried to blackmail him.

Ewwwwwwwww
I couldn’t care less about anything connected to David Letterman. When someone has to bring out the ugly stories about their past, it only means they really do need attention and that is the best way they know how to get it. He is nothing and he should realize it soon. All you people that are watching him are just as bad as him. He will do just about anything to get his program ratings higher, mainly because he has NO good show!
Wrong. Best late night show ever. Sucks to be you.
@I’m Not Blue, I couldn’t have said it any better! Let’s hope it is a joke.

Elinor Burkett Defends Her “Kanye Moment” To Joy Behar

Elinor Burkett made headlines last Sunday when she interrupted Roger Ross Williams' acceptance speech for producers of the Academy Award-winning short-subject documentary Music By Prudence. Last night she explained her "Kanye Moment" with Joy Behar and seemed to ignore the graceful route of explanation, choosing instead to remind us all of why we didn't like her to begin with.
David Letterman Begins Week With Win Over Jay Leno
Remember how the storyline when Conan O'Brien hosted the Tonight Show was that he could win in the younger demographics but would lose in total viewers? Well, after a first week back of big ratings and victories over CBS, Jay Leno and the new old Tonight Show lost to David Letterman in the demos Monday night.
