Lindsay Lohan's excuse for skipping a court deposition in Los Angeles? She was busy making an appearance on "The Late Show With David Letterman" in New York City.

The actress, who recently returned from a promotional trip to Brazil, decided to show up for the talk show instead of deal with photographer Grigor Balyan, who claims he was hospitalized in 2010 after Lohan hit him with her car outside a nightclub.

In her first TV interview since November, Lohan promoted her guest spot on Charlie Sheen's "Anger Management" and opened up to Letterman about her upcoming stint in rehab. She must be...

David Letterman hasn't banned many people from appearing on his talk show, but that's what he was forced to do when he witnessed what Spring Breakers' director Harmony Korine was doing backstage.

While talking to Spring Breakers star James Franco, the actor revealed that Korine had been on the show to promote his previous works and was listed for a fourth appearance, only to be bumped from the show. Franco had heard that Korine "pushed" Meryl Streep backstage and was kicked off the show.

"Harmony is a very sane guy now -- a great artist and great person to work with. But I think he had a ...

Selena Gomez got in a couple of jabs aimed at ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber during her visit to the Late Show With David Letterman on Monday night. The actress was in the Big Apple promoting her new film Spring Breakers.

The two discussed her new film's director, Harmony Korine; and Dave brought up one of his past appearances, saying there was "something wacky" about him. Selena said her mom was a big fan of the director and encouraged h...

Late night talk show hosts Jimmy Fallon and David Letterman weren't going to let a little thing like Hurricane Sandy get in their way Monday evening, as both hosts aired their shows with skeleton crews and without studio audiences.

Like the United States Postal Service the two comedians refused to let weather stop them and they provided the much needed comic relief from the superstorm -- for those who still had power, that is.

Fallon began his show by stepping outside his Rockefeller Center studio in Manhattan to show the nearly empty streets and explain that the show would go on despite ...

Anne Hathaway was the main guest on Thursday night's episode of the Late Show With David Letterman; appearing in support of her latest film, The Dark Knight Rises.

It was obvious that the topic of Jay Leno would come up when Conan O'Brien stopped by David Letterman's late night show - since Leno had a part in pushing them both off of NBC.

Leno famously received Johnny Carson's time slot when the legend retired, causing Letterman to leave for CBS. A few years ago, Leno stepped down and let Conan take his show - only for Leno to un-retire and take it back. An angry Conan went on a national tour before being signed to TBS.

However, when the topic was brought up, Conan said, "I feel terrific, I really do... I'm very lucky to get to go on television and ...

Both stars will earn $700,000-per-episode for Two And A Half Men and House, respectively, when the two high-rated shows return to TV next month, but Kutcher also reportedly has a deal in place, where he'll profit further if his sitcom is a hit.

The star made his acting debut when he was just 12 on Disney's variety show "The Mickey Mouse Club" alongside Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera.

Lady Gaga made an in-store appearance to promote her new album "Born This Way" at Best Buy in New York City on Monday wearing a barely-there black leather & gold chain outfit with fishnets and black thigh-highs and a pair of her trademark heel-less high heel black lace-up stripper boots.
