Whoops...

Who knows how posterity will view this move, but I for one say he manned up and faced the camera and admitted this to his audience. Hit the link to watch the video.

Late-night host David Letterman acknowledged on Thursday’s show that he had sexual relationships with female employees and that someone tried to extort $2 million from him over the affairs. CBS says an employee has been charged with attempted grand larceny in the case.

Letterman told his story during a taping of his show, mixing in jokes to an audience that seemed confused about what it was. He called it a “bizarre experience” that left him feeling disturbed and menaced.

This is my house now!

This just in:

“Jon & Kate Plus 8″ will soon be simply “Kate Plus Eight.”

That’s the word from the TLC network, who announced Tuesday that its hit reality show is adapting to changes in the Gosselin household, which has been disrupted by the split up of Kate and Jon.

To be honest, I was expecting the show to become ‘Jon Plus Eight (and an STD)’ and for Kate to get a spin off on MTV ’s “Real World: Kate’s Womb” where 8 unemployed self-entitled college coeds, grads, and high school drop outs try to live together in the Gosselin uterus.

Oh Well. There’s always sweeps week.
