David Letterman has spiced up his show to keep people’s minds off the fact that he cheated on the mother of his child for many years with staff working on the show. The other night Dave pressed a red button on his desk and Tom Hanks ran and jumped into a guest chair, and said:

"I heard the signal, I came a-running. I was at a really important fund raiser in Cleveland, please don’t press it again unless it’s a real emergency."

Dave pressed the button several times, but we’ll have to excuse Dave since he’s already proved he doesn’t have much impulse control.

Will Ferrell returned to Saturday Night Live to host celebrity Jeopardy as Alex Trebek to promote his upcoming movie Land of the Lost. The contestants included Sean Connery played by Darrell Hammond, Kathie Lee Gifford played by Kristin Wiig, Burt Reynolds played by Norm MacDonald, and Tom Hanks played by Tom Hanks.

Hanks is promoting his new number one movie Angels and Demons.

Below is a not quite as funny Bush and Cheney skit.

Julia Roberts gave an F bomb profanity filled speech at Monday’s 36th annual Film Society of Lincoln Center Gala Tribute, where Tom Hanks was presented the new Chaplin Award. Roberts said:

"Alright well, it’s late and I’m paying my babysitter overtime and I have to pee. So Tom, everybody f*cking likes you. All my bits are gone."

"Listen, I had lunch today with Rita [Wilson, Hanks’ wife], and her t!ts were here [motioned high], and her waist was here [motioned small], and her a$$ was like that [motioned high], so what can I tell you that’s new? Tom Hanks, what the f*ck?"

Of Hanks’ 2004 flick "Ladykillers," she said, "I love the Cohen brothers, but the hair … I didn’t even know what the f–k that movie was about!"

She also gave a candid opinion of another 2004 film, "The Terminal."

"You in the airport with the accent? It was a pass for me. Airport? Were you just an immigrant lost? I didn’t know. I love you, and I didn’t know what to do, really. God, I’m wearing the same f*cking dress tonight as your publicist!"

"Listen, I’ve got to get home. But this much we know … I will say this: Tom Hanks, I love you."

The tribute to Hanks was a great honor. Roberts showed she has no class by delivering such a vulgar speech at such an important event for a fellow actor. We’d like to ask Roberts if she uses that mouth at home around her kids. Some people don’t have to be drunk to make an a$$ of themselves in public.

Congratulations to Tom Hanks. We’re sorry to see Julia Roberts ruined the evening for you and your wife.

Naomi Watts has been lined up to appear in The Da Vinci Code prequel alongside Tom Hanks. Filming on the movie has been postponed until February, as a direct result of the Hollywood writer’s strike. Sources claim Oscar-winning screenwriter Akiva Goldman’s script still needs work, and he is on strike with his Writers Guild of America brethren. The film bosses have also put the movie’s release date back from the end of 2008 to 2009.

My hope is writers will make this movie more like Indiana Jones or The Mummy to spice it up, and make this second movie better than the first.

Britney Spears is still being a bad girl. Last week she didn’t take her drug test after she didn’t supply the drug testers with her address. The judge said the last time she missed tests that a missed test was a failed test. The judge revoked her one day a week visitation.

The parenting coach also phone in during an emergency hearing with the judge, who is really a commissioner, and asked if she could end home visits since she wasn’t making any progress with Britney’s parenting skills.

Before her Blackout album hits record stores there is now news that pre-orders are now at number 76 on Amazon.com. The analysis is that Britney’s bad behavior is creating so much negativity that there is now very little interest in her new album. There is one way to make celebrities act like decent people, and forcing the talented ones to rise to the top, instead of scum. Don’t buy their albums, watch their movies, or buy their products until they spend more time giving great performances, rather than breaking the law.

Britney Spears was seen in Malibu along the Pacific Coast Highway, and today there is a huge fire raging. Did Britney start the fire with a flick of her cigarette? Maybe now she’ll stop smoking when the paparazzi are filling her car with gas. No one is saying yet what started the fire, but the following stars have so far been evacuated: Jennifer Aniston, Sting, Bill Murray, Tatum O’Neal, Rob Reiner, Linda Ronstadt, David Arquette and Courteney Cox, David Geffen, Jeffrey Katzenberg,Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Olivia Newton-John, and James Cameron.

The Spears/Federline is under court seal, so it is difficult to get timely information. Despite having her visitation revoked, Britney was out yesterday, at Starbucks, with her kids and a court monitor, so it looks like she made another deal. Britney probably had to take a drug test and pass it before the commissioner let her see her kids.
