Jon Clears Out Family Bank Account

Jon Gosselin can't go 48 hours without doing something to makes the entire country despise him. His most recent action involves taking $230, 000 from a family's joint bank account. Jon's lawyer, Mark Heller, has an interesting track history of recommending divorcees to remove money from joint bank accounts.

Jon left Kate a mere $1,000 in their joint bank account. Kate is the one who pays the bills for her family because she lives with them full time. Jon took away the money Kate needs to provide for her childrens welfare.

Kate went on the Today show this morning to confirm that Jon took the money. During the interview, Meredith Vieira read a statement from Jon's lawyer claiming he didn't take any money. Kate candidly delivered her side of the story. Viewers will most likely empathize with her situation.

Jon, people want to hate Kate for treating you the way she did, but you are doing EVERYTHING in your power to make people hate you instead! Lay low, man, and stop making sensational headlines and media appearances. Overexposure is never a good thing.

David Letterman's Ship Is Sinking

It could be the the beginning of a wave of bad publicity for David Letterman. The first of many former staff members has confirmed David's claims that he's had hanky panky in the office.

Stephanie Birkett is one of at least two staff members involved regarding the David Letterman extortion plot. What's most interesting is that court documents (according to TMZ) show that Birkett wasn't only David Letterman's lover she later lived with the Producer arrested for the attempted extortion of Letterman. The blackmailer Robert Halderman actually had accessed Birkett's diary along with correspondence and photos which would incriminate Letterman.

If there is any silver lining to Letterman's hypocrisy it's that his relationship with Birkett ended prior to his son Harry being born.

You may recall Birkett did remote stand-ups for the Letterman show from the 2002 Winter Olympics. Birkett has other spots on the show as well.

Talk Host David Letterman Foils Blackmailer

A man has been charged over an alleged plot to blackmail chat show host David Letterman over sexual relationships he had with female staff members.

CBS employee Robert "Joe" Halderman, a producer for the true-crime show 48 Hours, was arrested after an undercover sting operation over an alleged plot to blackmail over sexual relationships David Letterman had with several staff members. Letterman confessed during a recording of his show, broadcast by CBS, that he had had sex with female colleagues.

He said a man had threatened to expose the relationships with a book and a screenplay unless a payment of $2,000,000 was made. Letterman, 62, married long-term girlfriend Regina Lasko in March. They have a six-year-old son.

Letterman told his studio audience that he was first approached by the alleged blackmailer three weeks ago. He said he had got in his car early one morning to find a package with a letter containing proof of the "terrible things" he was said to have done. Following his lawyer's advice, David contacted the Manhattan District Attorney's office and the arrest of Mr. Halderman was made on Thursday.

Apparently, the 'funny business' was not limited to his late night monologues... Our friends at Gawker discovered that " Letterman had a cadre of female assistants who fell heavily on the young and attractive side of the ledger. He was said to employ as not less than three of these Special Assistants to the Host last year. The assistant tally however, was said to have climbed as high as five... Each Valentines Day, Letterman sent lavish, expensive bouquets of flowers to each and every non-male on the Late Show staff with a handwritten note signed 'Your Friend Dave.'"

Gawker/Defamer also reported that the scuttlebutt on the set had it that current assistant-in-question, Stephanie Birkitt, received extra compensation for duties as his First Assistant, in the form of Letterman picking up the tab for her graduate law studies at the Yeshiva University Law School. Birkitt's duties included nannying work around the office. She could often be seen playing with his son and chasing him through the office halls. Birkitt also frequently appeared on air, playing the part of Dave's assistant in sketches and often delivering prizes to audience members in constants. Dave favored Birkitt with playful nicknames in these moments such as "Vicky" "Kitty" and "Dutch."

He handled it about as well as he could, making it part of the Thursday night monlogue, although a bit ironic considering his many sexual jokes about President Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky and even his jokes about people who didn't partake in extra-marital activities like Sarah Palin. What goes around, comes around, Dave.

The Fame Kills tour killed for real!

The much hyped about Lady Gaga and Kayne West "Fame Kills" tour has been offically cancelled! There is much speculation as to the exact reason behind the cancellation some sources are claiming it was due to less than spectacular ticket sales (thanks a lot Kayne) or creative differences between the two artists, either way the tour is a no go and refunds will be given to anyone who has purchased tickets.

Word has it that Lady Gaga is still planning a tour without Kayne that will focus on hitting up smaller venues throughout the country, although personally I think she is just about ready to hit the arena market depending on who she chooses to take out on the road!

Wow, Kayne! I hope you are learning a much needed lesson from all of this, and even if it was just a ploy for publicity it is certainly backfiring on you now!

Will Ferrell and Wife Expecting Third Child

‘Step Brothers’ star Will Ferrell and his wife Viveca Paulin are expecting a third boy. The couple already has two sons, Magnus, five, and two-year-old Mattias.

“They are thrilled and can’t wait to meet the latest addition to their family," a source said. "Both boys are excited about being big brothers.”

The baby is due in January.

Even though Will is known for his humor, he recently admitted his sons haven’t inherited his funny gene.

"No, they're not funny," Will said. "They're deadly serious."

Since Will is no stranger to parenting, he has previously given out advice to his celebrity friends.

When his ‘Bewitched’ co-star Nicole Kidman gave birth to daughter Sunday Rose last July, he jokingly suggested that she talk to her new daughter "at least once a week".

"For me, I would advise to talk to your children, at least once a week," he said. "If you've got time, do it two or three times a week. But otherwise, I find the times where I let weeks and weeks go by without talking to my children, that adds up."

41-Year-Old Fish Defies Nature

Buttkiss the black Pacu has lived through a lot, from the Summer of Love, to the Cold War, to Y2K, to today. That's right, Buttkiss is 41 years old, and he's a fish. To put that in perspective, the average life span of a Pacu (a type of fish related to the Piranha) is 2 to 20 years. He lives in a Queens pet shop owned by Steve Gruebel and weighs a whopping 20 pounds, eating 20 goldfish a day. His name comes from linebacker Dick Butkus, but Gruebel prefers the more comedic effect of spelling it "Buttkiss." Gruebel calls the fish his mascot, since he's been around the shop for so long. However, he has no idea why the fish keeps on keepin' on after doubling his life expectancy.
