I can't imagine the crazy amount of work that goes into caring for that long of locks. #dreadlocks

Also that item about Beyonce made me smile. I guess we have fallen far if a celebrity's decent behavior and care for fellow human beings is an anomaly worth noting but in any case, you go, Beyonce!

Of course there's always the possibility that he was in an open relationship, and the affairs he had were completely free of any kind of sexual harassment. Personally, I don't care. I've never liked Letterman, I think his show (and Leno's, too) is played out. This doesn't change my opinion of him at all, and I wasn't shocked.

So, you think there is no fault at all to be held by the CBS News employee who commited a crime and brought this to the public eye? It's all David Letterman's fault that the man tried to extort him? Please.

now, god knows, there is no such thing as perfectly free choice in this world, and power/money differentials always exist in all kinds of relationships. In past discussions on this site, I'm thinking specifically in dicussions on the legalization of prostitution, people talked about similar ideas - specifically that many people who "choose" to go into prostitution (to say nothing of those who are forced or trafficked into it) are not in fact making a free choice at all, that it is economic desperation, addiction, etc., that forces many men and women into prostitution. This is quite true. It is also true that there are men and women who have chosen to go into this work because they want to and love and enjoy it and not because of any economic necessity. Likewise, it is totally possible that these women chose to sleep with him entirely because they wanted to and not because their jobs would be in danger otherwise, but their pre-existing relationship, for me, puts everything in a different light, and not a good one.

I will probably still have a soft spot for him, but I've been trying to watch Conan more anyway because Conan is at a different point in his career than Letterman and I feel sorry for him with all this Leno crap. Letterman was beating Conan pretty good before all this, and I wonder if that will still be true.

At best, he cheated on his girlfriend with what sounds like more than one woman. At worse, he abused his position of authority.

I feel for his wife, too, because clearly a lot of this was going on while he was with her.

He shouldn't have to air his dirty laundry (no matter how dirty) on an nighttime chat show. It has nothing to do with his program. But he was forced to because some ass tried to blackmail him. He shouldn't have cheated on his girlfriend with his employees in the first place, but he also shouldn't have to talk about it on an entertainment program. His personal life is just that--personal.
