In a hard-to-believe fit of modesty, sexy funny lady Tina Fey revealed to David Letterman last night that she was 24 before she lost her virginity and "couldn't give it away." (I'm incredulous about the latter claim — not that she was 24.)
I don't think I know anyone who waited that long, but everyone has her reasons for delaying sex. Honestly, I think being ready to have sex is better than "getting it out of the way" as I hear some people describe their motivations for having sex for the first time.

There's been a media frenzy since David Letterman confession last week that he's had multiple affairs with his staffers and was involved in an alleged extortion plot against him. Last night after Dave publicly apologized to his wife, Craig Ferguson addressed the news on The Late Late Show, joking that it's awkward for him to see his boss, who he admires, being caught in an "embarrassing situation."

Last week, David Letterman made waves (to say the least) when he revealed on the air that he had been blackmailed for $2 million regarding information about sexual affairs with female members of his staff. Whether the announcement surprised you or not, it seems that we all feel sympathetic for Letterman's wife and family. Last night Letterman used his audience as a sounding board once again, apologizing first to members of his staff who have been harassed since the affairs went public, and then to his wife Regina, saying that he has his "work cut out for him."
