Letterman's show is getting a bit awkward to watch these days. Last week we found out he was gettin' down and dirty with staffers of the "Late Show," and last night he once again took to the air to apologize to his wife, Regina.
He says she was "horribly hurt,' and that he has his work cut out for him to mend the relationship. “When something happens like that, if you hurt a person and it’s your responsibility, you try to fix it. And at that point, there’s only two things that can happen: either you’re going to make some progress and get it fixed, or you’re going to fall short and perhaps not get it fixed.”
I guess this answers the question about whether she knew or not.
All of this began after Letterman says he found a threatening note demanding $2-million or his secret relationships would be revealed to the world. Instead of paying the money, Letterman contacted police and then told his audience about the affairs. Robert Halderman, a CBS News employee was arrested for making the threat and pleaded not guilty last Friday. His lawyer made the morning TV rounds yesterday saying that Letterman had engaged in sexual harassment of his staff members. He also said Letterman had an affair with his client's girlfriend. Oh boy, now things are getting clear.
“I just wanted to say, essentially, don’t rush to judgment,” Mr. Shargel said. “The public is not getting the full story from David Letterman," said his lawyer.
What about you? Can you separate Letterman the funny host from Letterman, the man that cheated on his wife? Does it matter to you?
Here are nine things that can boost your immune system, and help keep you from getting the swine . . . sorry, "H1N1" virus.
#1.) WATER. First off, make sure you're drinking eight to ten glasses of water a day, minimum. If you're drinking less than that, it can compromise your immune system.
#2.) YOGURT. It has "probiotics," which are healthy bacteria that keep your intestines germ-free. In a Swedish study, 181 factory workers took a probiotic supplement, and they ended up using 33 percent fewer sick days than their co-workers did.
#3.) CHICKEN SOUP. Researchers have found that almost every type of chicken soup is good for a cold. Except chicken-flavored ramen noodles. An amino acid in chicken mimics a bronchitis drug called acetylcysteine (--pronounced a-set-ill-SIS-teen).
--And the salty broth keeps mucus thin, the same way cough medicine does.
#4.) OATS AND BARLEY. When ANIMALS eat it, they're less likely to get the flu, herpes, and even anthrax. When WE eat it, it boosts immunity, makes injuries heal faster, and might even help antibiotics work better.
#5.) FISH. Oysters, lobster, crabs, and clams help white blood cells produce proteins that kill flu viruses. And salmon, mackerel, and herring are rich in omega-3 fats, which help increase airflow in your lungs, and prevent respiratory infections.
#6.) GARLIC. An ingredient in garlic called "allicin" (--pronounced AL-iss-in) fights off infections and bacteria. In a British study, people who took a garlic extract for three months were two-thirds less likely to catch a cold. And other studies show that garlic lowers your risk of certain types of cancer.
#7.) MUSHROOMS. They force your body to make more white blood cells, which fight off infectious disease. Plus, those cells your body makes then tend to be more aggressive than normal. That means they'll be more efficient in ridding your body of a nasty virus.
#8.) TEA. In a Harvard study, people who drank five cups of black tea every day for two weeks were ten times less likely to get the flu. It's because black and green tea both have a certain amino acid that boosts the amount of something called interferon in your blood.
#9.) SWEET POTATOES. Your skin is your largest organ, and it covers an impressive 16 square feet. It's also your first line of defense in the fight against bacteria and viruses. To stay healthy, your skin needs vitamin A. And sweet potatoes are loaded with it.
