Why Did David Letterman Get Married????

After all these years together, why'd they finally tie the knot???

Newlywed David Letterman gave a "Top Ten List" of reasons why he married his wife, Regina, on last night's episode of his Late Show.

Says the funnyman:

"10. Poconos offers newlyweds free room with champagne-glass Jacuzzi.
9. If I'm gonna catch Larry King, I'd better get going.
8. Still drunk from St. Patty's, dude!
7. She needed a green card.
6. When you're my age and look like I do, if someone says they'll marry you, you do it.
5. Don't have to listen to any more crap from that quack Dr. Phil.
4. I finally fit into my dream dress!
3. Free cake
2. Got tired of waiting for Paris Hilton.
1. Figured at the least we'd get a mediocre Top Ten out of it."

Re: LizardKinG – This was my first good laugh of the day! LizardKinG you are just too precious!

Jokes aside, Ithink he got married for a very simple reasno.He has a five year old son. I think now that Harry is getting old enough to start understanding things, they decided to do it. And Dave isn't getting any younger either. It is old fashioned to some people, but I think it is about stability.

Re: LizardKinG – Perez posted it two days ago. Maybe try to be a bit more observant in the future?

And now (drum roll), my "shallowness cup" runneth over . . . .
-
For the life of me, he could have done much, much better. And, from all the photos I've seen, maybe they are buddies, but there is zero love/chemistry present. In the pics, Dave could have just as easily been walking along with Paul — and some of the pics are from 10 + years ago, before his son was born.
-
I really don't get it. Yes, I get that she's the mother of his son — but why the hell was he with her in the first place? Pretty and intelligent are not mutually exclusive Dave - lots of women have both traits — I would have expected better from him.
-
Anyone is welcome to take a pot-shot at me — I know what I said is painfully shallow.

He'll survive. After all, he's had the longest extended adolescence of almost anyone, anywhere. Congrats, Dave. Bwack-bwaaaack!

Re: LULU~* – What, you have a thing for Dave? He married who he wanted. He's no Clooney himself. Double standard, IMHO, never mind the shallow bit, which you graciously owned.

David Letterman should learn a few cooking tricks at the CoconutBistro.com for his new wife!!!

Hee hee, go Dave go!
The mark of a great celebrity has to be the ability to take the piss out of oneself!
I love that he's attacked his private life before everyone else got the chance!
(With the exception of you, Perez - they'd have to get up pretty early in the morning to beat you!)

Re: @v@ – Yes, you're right - double-standard too. I'm not excusing my lapse, just admiting that's how I feel.
