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.

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.
HOW DOES HE DO IT? Throughout the writer's strike, Jay Leno continued to win in the late night talk show ratings war. Despite not cutting a deal with the WGA to rehire writers (as Letterman did) and despite him having on Larry the Cable Guy four times (which is four too many), Leno thrived during the 100-day strike: "'He was going solo and he was going up against his main rival, who benefited by having his writers with him,' said Brad Adgate, research director for ad-buying firm Horizon Media. 'But Leno was still able to maintain his lead over Letterman whether he had backup or not. That's a real testament to Leno and his staying power.'"
Colin Farrell is a great dad, y'all — he even quit partying so he could take care of his 4-year-old son. What a sacrifice!
He went on the Late Show With David Letterman to discuss how much he has given up to partake in that pesky little role called fatherhood: "I'm quiet now. Boring. I do incredibly tedious things like hanging out with my son."
The words of a doting father, ladies and gentlemen.

David Letterman's production company, Worldwide Pants, reached an agreement last week with the Writer's Guild of America, the terms of the which allow his late night program to resume production, complete with Guild writers. The settlement has prompted other hosts, like Jay Leno, to also return, but without writers.
Last night, the Late Show with David Letterman welcomed it's first guest in weeks, actor and comedian Robin Williams. Leno booked Mike Huckabee, a bigot who once advocated quarantining people with HIV. We hope you chose wisely.

LOST MONEY CHANGES EVERYTHING The four major late night hosts are shitting their pants! "There's some talk that the Big Four hosts — David Letterman, Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien and Craig Ferguson — may all return around the same time. While informal discussions between the NBC and CBS camps have continued via backchannels throughout the strike (Daily Variety, Nov. 16), absolutely nothing like that has been agreed upon." Insiders are tattling that everyone might be back by Jan 7.
Here's the now famous Paris Hilton Late Show interview, in which David Letterman asks about little else than Hilton's time in jail. Wow, is it uncomfortable to watch, and it's unsurprising that afterwards Hilton is reported to have wept backstage. Sad to know that she has to go onto a comedy show to get even slightly tough questions about her prison stay.
