Celine Dion has been trying to have a second baby, but it isn’t working out. She tried getting pregnant via in vitro fertilization, but it didn’t take. source

Colleagues are shocked by his arrest in the Letterman case. Halderman, a producer of “48 Hours,” covered wars and school shootings with a high level of get-the-story passion. But now that he’s on the other end, colleagues are shocked. Marcy McGinnis, a former boss of his at CBS, described “Joe” as a newshound who would do anything to get the story. “I said to my mother that this was like her waking up to find out I’d been arrested for this,” she noted. Halderman’s lawyer, Gerald L. Shargel, said that co-workers of his posted his bond, and that he was trying to “level the playing field” for his client. source
I’ll be honest with you folks. Right now, I would give anything to be hiking on the Appalachian Trail. I get in the car this morning and the navigation lady wasn’t speaking to me. Ouch.
David Letterman • Speaking out on Monday’s show in response to his admission on Thursday that he slept with staffers. He initially didn’t want to bring it up again, but it’s still heavy on the news cycle. So he’s talking about it again. Perhaps the most painful thing thing about the controversy might be dealing with his wife Regina, who he didn’t mention in Thursday’s monologue at all: “”She has been horribly hurt by my behavior, and when something happens like that, if you hurt a person and it’s your responsibility, you try to fix it.” Dude’s got a crappy next few months ahead of him. • source
Texas is a state fairly far down the line for legalizing gay marriage. It’s not like those East Coast states where you can do all willy-nilly. In fact, it’s illegal. source
However, a judge recently agreed to care a divorce case for a married out-of-state gay couple. Best part? The state attorney general is having a hissy fit. source
This morning, I did something I’ve never done in my life. I had to go downtown and testify before a grand jury.
David Letterman • Discussing the extortion plot against him on his show tonight. He admitted a couple of big things: He had sex with many of his female staffers, someone tried to extort $2 million dollars out of him, and he went to the authorities rather than go through with it. And you thought Conan O’Brien’s fainting incident was crazy. Larry King is in disbelief even, and he was talking to Jon Gosselin tonight. Somehow, this topped everything that douchebag said. In a way, we’re kind of proud that Letterman was so honest and forthcoming about it. • source
