David Letterman is getting death threats!

Comedian and TV Host David Letterman has nothing to laugh about here.

Posted on a jihadist website that is frequented by members and supporters of Al-Qaeda were death threats against the late night talk show host.

A commenter named Umar al-Basrawi commanded on the site to “cut the tongue of this lowly jew and shut it forever.”

The site, called Shumukh-al-Islam is a “clearing house for Al-Qaeda material. It gets the most Al-Qaeda supporters,” Adam Raisman, an expert in extremist websites, told EW. Letterman (who is Protestant, not Jewish) apparently offended some with remarks he made on-air about accused terrorist leader Ilyas Kashmiri, who died in a U.S. airstrike in Pakistan this past June.

“He showed his evil nature and deep hatred for Islam and Muslims, and said that Ilyas Kashmiri was killed and he joined Bin Laden,” commenter al-Basrawi wrote. “We ask Allah to paralyze his tongue and grant the sincere monotheists his neck.”

CBS had no comment. Raisman urged Letterman to use “as much precaution as he would with an obsessed fan” regarding the scary threat.

Yikes! Those are some crazy threats.

Anne Hathaway opens up about being the worst Oscar host ever.

Okay – so she didn’t really put it that way, but wasn’t she the worst Oscar host ever? She was awful!! Here’s more from her interview – with Interview.

In interview Magazine, Anne opens up about the hosting gig:

“You know, it’s not like I’d had this big dream to do this thing, and it’s not like I had a set of skills I’d been honing for years and years that I was going to showcase on this night. To me, it seemed like such a random opportunity, and such potential for fun, that I really was enjoying myself completely. It’s actually been very nice because the critical reaction was what it was, but since then . . . Like, just today, I was sitting, having lunch, and a really nice Canadian couple on vacation with their daughter came up and made a point of saying, “We just loved you at the Oscars.” It’s been so amazing and lovely, the feedback that I’ve been getting even months after the show. But then the other side of it was that I was obviously a little bummed out by the critical response because you work so hard at that. What I never appreciated about any of the hosts was just how much time and work goes into this huge production. Almost immediately afterwards, I went to Africa for the first time with an initiative that I work with called The Girl Effect, and I just realized that all these feelings that I was having, maybe even the negative ones, were a privilege to be had, and that good, bad, middling, whatever the Oscars were . . . I mean, I met a woman on this trip who got married at the age of 5.”

On getting ready for Catwoman:

“I actually had this moment when I convinced one of the assistant directors on the London portion of the film to get a cat with me, the idea being that we were going to get a kitten from a rescue shelter, and he was going to live with me, and I was going to observe it, and when I left London I was going to give it to her. Then, thankfully, her husband pointed out that that was a terrible idea on so many levels, not least of which being that it would probably be really confusing to the cat. So I turned to YouTube instead and got a National Geographic video on cats… I am still cat-less. My man is allergic to cats, so that decision is made for me.”

On being from Jersey:

“I think JWoww is amazing. I love JWoww. She’s intense. See, JWoww to me is proper Jersey because she will scrap for a friend…. My best friend got married this past weekend in Barcelona, and I was one of her bridesmaids. She’s one of my best friends from Jersey, and this guy was messing with her, and I was totally like, “Who am I punching?” She was like, “No one. You’re not going to punch anyone. And I was like, “Fair enough, but if a fight breaks out, who do you want me to swing at?”

“I wanted to be in New York. My feeling about growing up in New Jersey was, “How come I’m not in New York?” That being said, I’m older and I have a better worldview now, and so I think I grew up in an incredibly privileged position. The town I grew up in is beautiful. I got a great education, and I’m very grateful for it. But it’s not a place I wanted to stay. I left when I was 16, just to follow my dreams . . .”

Khloe Kardashian gives Kim some wedding advice.

Khloe Kardashian shares some wedding tips with Kim. She has been married two years to Lamar Odom. In Hollywood that is like 20 years together! So she must know what she is talking about.

Here’s her advice to her about to be wed sister Kim Kardashian.

“It’s not about having everything perfect!” Khloe told Us Weekly at Wednesday night’s launch bash for the Kardashian Kollection at Colony in Hollywood. (The entire clan turned out for the bash: Kim and her fiance Humphries, Kourtney Kardashian, mom Kris Jennner and siblings Kendall and Kylie Jenner.)

Although Kim is set to wear a $25,000 Vera Wang gown, chow down on a $20,000 cake and greet such A-list guests as invitees Nicole Richie and Ryan Seacrest, Khloe says Kim’s priority on August 20 should be her man, 26.

“At some point in your wedding, take your husband in a corner and just be quiet and look and enjoy the whole presence of it,” Khloe said. “And just look and enjoy because it goes so fast…it’s amazing.”

And once the wedding and honeymoon are over, and Kim settles into normal life? “No two relationships are the same,” she said. “Keep yours to yourself because everyone will have an opinion. They have no idea what goes on behind closed doors.”

And the bride-to-be herself is doing just fine during the final wedding countdown, she told Us. “I’m totally calm,” Kim said.

“I’m just really looking forward to the whole wedding.” And she and her groom are rock-solid, she added. “We have a really good balancing system of, you know, our personalities. [Kris] lets me chill. He gives me my space when I need to design and approve shoes and clothes and everything, and I kind of do the same for him. We just have a good connection.

Sounds like good advice Khloe!

Kate Winslet helps form “Anti-Cosmetic Surgery League”.

Let’s hear it for natural beauty!

Kate Winslet has spoken out about embracing her curvy figure and is now taking a stance on ageism in Hollywood and the pressure actresses have to go under the knife.

Winslet, 35, spoke with London’s The Telegraph stating the she and fellow British Oscar-winners Emma Thompson and Rachel Weisz have formed the “British Anti-Cosmetic Surgery League.”

“I will never give in,” she said. “It goes against my morals, the way that my parents brought me up and what I consider to be natural beauty.”

While the women’s resolve not to go under the knife is real, their league might be more of a way to speak out against ageism than an active organization.

“I am an actress, I don’t want to freeze the expression of my face,” Winslet said.

Thompson, 52, agreed. “I’m not fiddling about with myself,” she exclaimed. “We’re in this awful youth-driven thing now where everybody needs to look 30 at 60.”

Newly-married Weisz, 41, said that people “who look too perfect don’t look sexy or particularly beautiful.”

Yeah! I am so glad a that these ladies are taking a stand on this subject. I am tired of seeing actresses who are too skinny, with pumped up lips, and faces that don’t move.
