Richard Simmons must have heard us talking about him last week, because the fitness guru was spotted outside the Late Show with David Letterman yesterday filming for Friday night's program. We would tell you to set your DVRs, but you already know exactly what's going to happen on the show. And it's not going to be pretty.

Richard Simmons descended upon Capitol Hill to fight childhood obesity with a happy dance and emotional plea. We're sure his cause is a worthy one, but every time we look at him we can't help but be reminded of all his stints on David Letterman. Click through for two of our favorites (and you can watch Richard's Capitol Hill speech here).
You knew Spencer Pratt would have something to say after Mary-Kate Olsen and David Letterman discussed his weasel-like qualities, and boy is his response a doozy:
I don't really get why she'd use my name to get press for her little indie film that no one's going to see. She should probably focus more on not getting dressed in the dark than on me.
I know I've made it in Hollywood when a famous troll is talking about me on Letterman. I forgive her, though. She's had to go through life as the less cute twin, which must be tough.
How big of you, Spence. It's a shame nobody can forgive you for going through life as the biggest d-bag in America.

Oh, Olsen twins, why don't you like food?
An exhausted Mary Kate Olsen – sans sister and a rubicund glow – stopped by Letterman last night to discuss being tired, being exhausted and Spencer Pratt, all while tiredly, exhaustedly hunching over. If nothing more, it was an exhibition of what a body is like when not it is not functioning properly.
You can imagine how quietly Letterman, whose tolerance for bullshit is the lowest on late night television, suffered the fool's behavior.
David Letterman must really enjoy the movie Hancock: In the past week, he's had Jason Bateman, Will Smith and now Charlize Theron on his show. Charlize, whom we love, was the proud owner of the most bizarre interview, which was so disjointed and uncomfortable it beat out the weird Dave/Will kiss from the night before. At the end of the interview, Charlize joked about being drunk — and we really do hope alcohol is to blame, because if not, her jokes make for painful situations. CONTINUED »

If there's one celebrity who needs to cross over into the music business, it's Jason Bateman. The man whom we will always refer to as Michael Bluth visited David Letterman last night and sang what will surely be one of the summer's hottest tunes. We won't give much away, but it's about poopy diapers and it's sung to the tune of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame." The man truly is a genius. CONTINUED »
Angelina Jolie has always been open about her life before becoming Mother Teresa 2.0, so it was no surprise when she gave details on a former knife experiment gone wrong.
When I was 14, I collected knives. My first boyfriend and I ended up getting into some fighting in bed and being silly. People think that happens every time I go to bed.
It was actually something he never wanted to do again. It was a mistake and we really hurt ourselves. It was just being young, you know, when you're curious about vampires and that kind of thing. Just experimenting. It was an accident and I ended up in hospital.
The fact that she was doing this at the age of 14 — even younger than Miley Cyrus — is slightly disturbing, but what's even more fascinating is the fact that she completely recovered from a not-so-normal past to become one of the most successful celebrities in the world. Which got us thinking of a few other women who have bounced back from their own personal tragedies. Feel free to disagree or throw in your own suggestions. CONTINUED »
OK, so this is another Hills post. But before you start shaking your fists and cursing my name, let me state for the record that I truly feel in my heart this is worthy of a posting, if only for the pure enjoyment of watching David Letterman make fun of Spencer Pratt for six minutes. To make matters worse, Dave gets so annoyed by Spencer that he resorts to visiting Heidi in the green room, where the interview grows 10 times more awkward than previously imagined. By the end of it all, I'm still left wondering: With The Hills on hiatus and no LC sex tape rumor to promote, what the hell was Spencer doing on Letterman in the first place? CONTINUED »
There's no way in hell Ali Lohan is 14 years old. The baby famewhore talked to David Letterman last night about how she has a normal family, just like you and me … except her family loves fame and attention, and they have that disease that makes you age faster than normal. Dave is obviously not impressed by Ali in the least, even referring to her as Lindsay at the end of the interview. Which, now that we think about it, is kind of a compliment.

Shia LaBeouf stopped by the Late Show with David Letterman last night to explain what happened on that fateful night when he was arrested for causing a ruckus at a Chicago Walgreens. We've heard quite a few good drunk stories in our day, but this one is pretty entertaining. He's kind of an ass at times, but he owns up to his actions and for that we applaud him. Also? He uses the term "doo-doo crayon," thus making him forever a winner in our book.
Click through for the video — even though it's nine minutes long, it's kind of worth it. CONTINUED »
Last night Paris Hilton again allowed David Letterman to patronize her for the amusement of a studio audience and millions of viewers. This time, Letterman also ridiculed the products Hilton endorses. To wit: "Champagne in a can is sexy?"
Click through for two videos of Hilton's appearance last night and one of her now infamous, painful chat with Letterman upon just being released from jail.

Hillary Clinton took to The Late Show with David Letterman last night so she could read the Top Ten list in a last-ditch effort to garner some votes. We thought Obama's list was funnier, but you can decide for yourself. And then we suggest voting strictly based on who gave a better Top Ten list. It's the American way.
We were impressed with the Democratic party for not getting involved in any of this Hills nonsense (John McCain, we're looking at you), but then Barack Obama had to go and do the Top Ten List for David Letterman last night. And, well, we'll just let you view the demise of American democracy for yourself.
Put-together victim Heidi Montag appeared on the Late Show last evening, where David Letterman subtly mocked her life for about five minutes. Pretty boring, save for when Heidi says her knavish puppetmaster, Spencer Pratt, is a "hustler" and predicts the outcome of November's presidential election. Heidi says John McCain is going to win, and then she and Spencer will go to barbecues at the White House.
Click through for video. And stay tuned to the very end for a shot of Pratt staring menacingly at a camera in the green room, hands clasped as if he's attempting to subside rage.

Gossip, led by hostess with the mostess Beth Ditto, has fans so rabid and annoying that they've done quite the opposite of what fans should and made me completely uninterested in the group's music. But today I stumbled across this YouTube clip of Gossip's performance on last night's Letterman and decided to give it a go, and I must say, I haven't been missing much.
How has it gone unnoticed that Ditto's "soul" vocals are actually just off-key screams? And why hasn't everyone ditched this band for The BellRays, who are one million times better? Lord, I feel old.
After the jump, The BellRays, the Economist to Ditto's Gossip.

The Office's Rainn Wilson stopped by to visit David Letterman last night for his first appearance on the late night talk show. Dave admitted to being slightly creeped out, but we assume he was simply jealous of the power that is Dwight Schrute.
Paula Abdul stopped by the Late Show With David Letterman last night to promote her insanity, prompting Dave to make sure she wasn't intoxicated.
