Letterman's gal cheated on new beau -- with Dave!
NY Post ^ | 10/06/2009 | LARRY CELONA, JESSICA SIMEONE and DAN MANGAN

Pretty former "Late Show" staffer Stephanie Birkitt revealed in her diary that she continued having sex with boss David Letterman even after moving in with her CBS-producer boyfriend, who later allegedly tried to extort him over the affair, sources told The Post yesterday.

Letterman and Birkitt enjoyed romantic hikes last fall at his sprawling ranch in eastern Montana -- where he was married in March -- while her boyfriend, "48 Hours Mystery" producer Robert "Joe" Halderman, stayed home in Connecticut, the sources said.

Late Show with David Letterman staffer Stephanie Birkitt. At the time, Birkitt, 34, insisted to Halderman that she and the 62-year-old Letterman had just "a platonic relationship," a source said.

"I'm his best friend," Birkitt told the worried 51-year-old Halderman, the source said...

After she graduated in June 2008, he offered her a job as his personal lawyer, the sources said.

Birkitt later tried to use the generous offer to persuade Halderman to have children with her, saying she would bring in the bucks in her new job and he could stay home as a Mr. Mom, the sources said...

Dave doesn’t ask for much does he? I wonder what his mom looked like.

Dave's mom is a wonderful women, well respected in this community. It is hard to say how Dave got so wacky, but it's not her fault.

ps - I have met her several times and had the chance to work with her. She is wonderful, simple woman.

These people deserve each other. They are all crazy.

I seriously doubt Letterman, even though he appears and acts dumb; would offer a prestigious job to a new graduate.

Lettermans job offer is probably the same thing she has been doing all along and that is servicing him. In other words a high paid skank.

Way back when Letterman was first on tv (and I would watch from time to time) he had his mother on the show frequently. He probably used her to make him look like a decent person, which hey may have been at one time.

These people all need to learn to keep their pants zipped. I get so tired of celebrity trash being celebrated further for their various pecadilloes in the press. Bleah. When did what they did in the bedroom become so public? Pretty soon, they’re going to start showing films of everything they did and with whom they did it.........

Letterman and Birkitt enjoyed romantic hikes

That gives context to his comment last night that "I'd give anything to be hiking on the Appalachian trail."

“Halderman exploded when he read Birkitt’s diary in December and learned that she was still carrying on a steamy affair with Letterman”

Diary. Bad idea.

Reading diary and going to jail. Worse idea.

I’m thinking her producer boyfriend didn’t need the two million, he just did this to get back at Letterman. Then again two million comes in handy.

Birkitt used to be on the show all the time doing crazy things.

I always thought that was very odd, but this makes sense.

I honestly think this is very likely to be true.

Is she really the woman who comes on at Thanksgiving time etc.?

I always wondered if that was an actress or really his mom....I think the latter but you never know.

She always seemed like a real great lady, and I always made a point of watching the show right before Thanksgiving etc. to see her.

The pictures shown here of her are pretty ugly, but I recall when she was on the show in the past for various things she looked much better.

I bet they all knew about it at the office, too!

She is a real tramp. How pathetic. Letterman is even worse - what a slime.

He has not been funny for 15+ years since Chris Elliott left the show as a writer. Chris is hilarious. Bob Elliott, his dad, raised him a lot better than Dave’s mom raised Dave. I think his mom was a Dem too.

SO the producer divorces his wife and then hooks up with someone half his age. She hooks up with someone about 3 times her age on the side.

This is all way more than I ever wanted to know about these people. None of them have anything to be proud of.

An aside. Since when did hiking become popular among adulterers? I used to enjoy that on camping trips when I was a teenager but now I’m thinking if ever I experience the urge to do so again I’ll pass.

Looks like David owes Sanford an apology now.

She's really his mother, Dorothy:~

http://together.net/~hpr/pies/

Destined for Show Business from a Young Age The son of H. Joseph (a florist) and Dorothy (a church secretary) Letterman, "Dave," as he is commonly referred to by fans and guests, was born into a typical middle class, Midwestern home on April 12, 1947, in Indianapolis, Indiana. Much of Letterman's quirky humor can likely be traced to his father. "He was the circus. He was the show. When he walked through a room the lamps would rattle," Letterman told Esquire's Bill Zehme. The elder Letterman also had heart problems, suffering his first heart attack at age 36 and eventually dying of a massive coronary at age 57, a tragedy that stunned his adoring son. Letterman's youth was otherwise ordinary. He was reportedly a bit of a class clown who made mediocre grades, ran track, and packed groceries. From an early age he knew he wanted to work in broadcasting, especially television, and he worshipped Johnny Carson, iconic host of The Tonight Show, and a man who would play a big role in Letterman's future career. http://www.answers.com/topic/david-letterman#

this woman sure likes 'em considerably older. must be cause guys her own just see dull and nothin' special. can't say i disagree. of course her life sounds anything but dull. this gal is an example of why us attractive gals say keep an eye on the ugly or plain looking woman that your boyfriend or husband calls, "just a friend." These are the ones that surprise the man when he finds himself in bed with them. Men do not have their guard up as much with the nothing specials and next thing you know their pants are around their legs.

Of course I have a smart, wise, Godly husband that gets all that. Thank God Some men do not.

In Dave's case he probably went with the easiest target as besides the money and fame is both a loser, hateful, unfortunate looking fellow.
