An ex-"Late Show" intern unmasked herself Saturday as one of
David Letterman's former flings - and sources revealed the randy
funnyman keeps a bachelor pad atop the Ed Sullivan Theater.

"I was madly in love with him at the time," said Holly Hester.
"I would have married him. He was hilarious."

The NYU alum, who it appears went on to become a top Hollywood
producer, told TMZ.com that the relationship started in the
early '90s when Letterman called and asked her on a date to the
movies.

A year-long, secret romance ensued, she said, until the funnyman
called it off because of their age difference.

Outside what is believed to be Hester's country home in
Sebastopol, Calif. - in ritzy Sonoma County - a middle-aged man
lashed out at a Daily News reporter last night. "Get the f---
out of here. We're being offered a lot of money for this s---,"
he said.

He then hopped in a gray SUV and floored it up a half-mile long
driveway leading to the home. Hester did not emerge.

The IMDB database shows that a Holly Hester is a veteran TV
producer who has worked on a string of hit shows, including
"Ellen," "Drew Carey," and "Grace Under Fire." It was unclear if
she is the same Hester, but public records also show a Holly
Hester is married to an experienced TV graphics guy who once
worked for Letterman.

The Hester quoted by TMZ made the stunning admission as a
Letterman show source dished that he kept a secret bedroom above
his set in the Ed Sullivan Theater on Broadway. "He doesn't have
to come out," a staffer said. "He has a suite upstairs."

An ex-"Late Show" staffer said Letterman kept a room insiders
dubbed "the bunker" that was open only to his favorite young
female underlings.

Letterman, 62, admitted on the air Thursday that he had had
several affairs, apparently while dating longtime love Regina
Lasko, who he married in March. The two have a son, Harry, 5.

A longtime assistant said he had the ability to cast a spell on
the ladies.

"I don't think women ever get over Dave," Laurie Diamond told
London's Daily Telegraph.

A woman identified as a former paramour, Stephanie Birkitt, 34,
remained in hiding Saturday. She was, until recently, dating Joe
Halderman, who was arrested Thursday for allegedly threatening
to go public with Letterman's dalliances unless he was paid $2
million.

A "Late Show" office worker in 1997, Birkitt quickly developed a
role as Letterman's Girl Friday. She went on to appear in
several skits as his comic foil. Behind the scenes, their
relationship became intimate, sources said.

"The creepy relationship that Letterman maintained with
Stephanie was obvious and not normal," an insider said. "She was
able to do anything and everything ... It was pretty well known
that Stephanie was the one that Letterman was having fun with."

In numerous interviews, Birkitt gushed about Letterman, calling
him "the greatest boss I could ever have."

A "top Hollywood producer"? Hardly.

I'd correct your spelling, but that'd be so 1990s

You're trying to get people upset that David Letterman nailed a bunch
of hot 20-somethings.
The more you scream about it, the better David looks.

Unless you're prepared to accuse him of a crime, you have nothing.

I don't understand your "hypocrisy" angle. I don't think you do either.

My favorite part of that listing is this:

Down 47% in popularity this week. See why on IMDbPro.

Well....considering she's not had work since 2005, "down 47%"
is quite admirable.

This is what I'm talking about -- her first credited tv position in
IMDB has her working at "Married with Children" in 1991-92. Had there
been anyone at the paper who had an iota of fack-checking experience,
they would have realized that Hester was never at the Late Show.

Idiots, the lot of 'em.

Actually, her credits are pretty typical for an average Burbank
show-runner. She could well have earned/still earn enough from her
stints driving popular sitcom eps. to take a couple-three years off.
But a "country home" in Sebastopol? That's a bit self-aggrandizing.
Sebastopol ain't Napa. More like she made a nice pile churning out
tube dreck then she and the hub found a quaint (but cheap) spot up in
the North Bay to which they relocated.

Maybe it's in the water there? I have a relative who
moved to "swanky" Ukiah and now sends out emails
"from my iPhone" and full of words like "en-suite" rather
than "bathroom".

She likely bought into that "most liveable quaint burg in the world"
hype. Ukiah reminds me of Squim, only more dessicated. Anyone up
there affecting phrases like "en suite" is probably growing smoke for a
living. Not that there's anything wrong with that, or that I'd have
personal knowledge of folks who itinerantly reside in Mendoland for the
sake of remuniterative agricultural pursuits. But excluding Wavy's gig
brainwashing liberal kidlets and Cockburn sniping outta Petrolia, once
you get that far north of Santa Rosa it's solid hippie white trash and
folks who can afford to live beyond extreme commute distance from the
Bay Area.

You nailed it....except I think if they're growing smoke, they're
imbibing the profits.
