New York -- The talent coordinator for David Letterman says all the pets auditioning for an upcoming "Stupid Pet Tricks" segment in New York are "winners."
The tryouts were held in Central Park Saturday, and the talent was very good, Letterman coordinator Ryan Williams said in a New York Daily Post report.
"We saw a lot of really fun tricks," Williams said. "They haven't made my jaw drop, but they were funny. Everyone's a winner on 'Stupid Pet Tricks.'"
The pets displayed a wide range of tricks. Baxter the Yorkie, owned by Lynn Consovoy of Paramus, N.J., can sneeze on command.
A Wheaton Terrier brought by Upper West Side couple Al and Tanya Percival, can spin, but didn't.

Rick Sanchez, it seems, made a really major mistake by calling Jon Stewart “a bigot” on radio. Not only did he end up losing his job at CNN, the news anchor also invited more mockery from the ‘The Daily Show’ host.

Hollywood -- David Letterman knew Joaquin Phoenix's bizarre behavior during an interview last year was an act, a writer for "The Late Show" host says.
Phoenix was a guest on "The Late Show" on Feb. 11, 2009, purportedly to promote his film "Two Lovers," but he made headlines for a bizarre and largely incoherent appearance in which he announced his retirement from acting and aspirations to become a hip-hop artist.
It turns out the affectation was designed to promote the upcoming Casey Affleck-directed flick "I'm Still Here," Affleck revealed Thursday, claiming no one else knew the plot, including Letterman.

New York -- What began as an irritating sore throat turned out to be Stage 4 throat cancer, U.S. actor Michael Douglass revealed on "The Late Show with David Letterman."
"I got cancer," the Oscar-winning actor said Tuesday during a promotional tour for "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps."
Douglas said he underwent his first round of chemotherapy and radiation treatment last week, noting, "It's about an eight-week struggle."
Douglas said he learned he had cancer about three weeks ago, joking that it was about the time he was booked to appear on Letterman's show. He said he went through "a litany of doctors and tests" without success before the cancer was diagnosed after he and his family returned from a vacation in Europe.
