David Letterman on Oprah’s Next Chapter: Late Show Host Talks Affair, Depression, Leno

One-time quasi-adversaries Oprah Winfrey and David Letterman sat down for a wide ranging interview on Oprah’s Next Chapter last night. On the docket: Dave’s affair and telling wife Regina Lasko about it; Letterman’s battle with depression and threshold for embarrassment; His thoughts on rival Jay Leno. David Letterman Oprah Interview – on Jay Leno Oprah didn’t shy away from asking tough questions. Ditto Dave answering them, including the sex scandal of 2009 that nearly ended his marriage. After a producer for CBS’s 48 Hours threatened to write a screenplay about the host’s infidelities unless Letterman paid him $2 million, he went to the police. Robert Halderman was arrested, but Letterman’s dirty laundry was aired; he publicly confessed to affairs with Late Show interns in an on-air monologue. David Letterman Oprah Interview – On Affair David Letterman Oprah Interview – Depression “I have no one to blame but myself,” Letterman told Winfrey, adding that he knows he “hurt a lot of people.” But there’s a silver lining to the scandal: “I feel better about myself,” he says. “My relationship with my wife is never better, and it’s just because I want to be the person I always thought I was and probably was pretending I was.” Letterman also delved into his depression, including a six-month “sinkhole” during which he couldn’t shake the urge to stay in bed all day or tolerate sunlight. David Letterman Oprah Interview – Sex Scandal David Letterman Oprah Interview – Hates to Be Embarrassed When Winfrey asked how he managed to work throughout that period of darkness in his life, Letterman answered that he simply “had to push through.” As for his late night adversary, Dave said Jay Leno is talented and insecure – probably more so in both departments than anyone he’s ever met.

Ali Fedotowsky "Freaking Out" at Idea of Roberto Martinez as The Bachelor

Ali Fedotowsky, who chose Roberto Martinez on The Bachelorette two summers ago, is said to be less than thrilled about rumors that say he’s in talks to be The Bachelor . Roberto and Ali split after 18 months together, and sure enough, he’s being talked about as the star of Season 17 of The Bachelor , slated for early January. “Roberto never shared his side of the breakup, and Ali is terrified about what he would say on the show and how she would come off,” a source explains. Who knows why she would care about a breakup that wasn’t even that bad (supposedly), now that she’s faded from the spotlight (mostly), but whatever. Luckily for Ali, he may turn down the opportunity. “He’s very happy being out of the spotlight,” a source close to the hunky former minor league ballplayer and current San Diego insurance agent explains. “He hasn’t ruled it out 100 percent, but don’t bet on it.” If Roberto Martinez were to become The Bachelor, he would be the first minority star in 25 seasons (including eight Bachelorettes ) of the ABC franchise. None of the 16 Bachelors are married to their final rose recipient, although Jason Mesnick married Molly Malaney, his runner-up from that season. For scoop on the current season, follow this link for The Bachelorette spoilers and hints on how Emily Maynard’s final three shake out … allegedly.

Bobbi Kristina Brown to Change Last Name?

Goodbye, Bobbi Kristina Brown. Hello, Kristina Houston? According to TMZ sources, the 19-year old daughter of Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston wants to take a step closer to her mother… by taking a step away from her father. Oprah Interview Preview: Sitting Down with the Houstons The troubled teen – whose family has been concerned about her since the passing of her parent, and who will be interviewed by Oprah Winfrey tonight on OWN, as previewed above – has reportedly been angling for a first and last name change for years. Her mother always denied the request, however. But now insiders say that Bobbi is thinking clearly, is in a “better place” these days and is anxious to distance herself from her controversial father. Based on Brown’s behavior at Whitney’s funeral , it’s hard to blame his daughter for feeling this way.
