College Warns Interns to Stay Away from Letterman

A Connecticut college has warned students interning for the womanizing David Letterman to keep their distance from the funnyman. A representative from Quinnipiac University told the celebrity gossip site TMZ.com:

"due to recent circumstances we will have a discussion with those in charge of placing our interns at the David Letterman show in the future."

The school added, "We will diligently oversee this internship program to ensure that our interns are out of harm's way."

Letterman recently revealed on air that he had been the target of a blackmail plot after he was accused by CBS News producer Joe Halderman of carrying on a sexual relationship with his former girlfriend, Stephanie Birkitt, a former assistant to Dave on the "Late Show".

Letterman admitted to having a relationship with Birkitt, 34. She began on the show as an intern and was promoted to his personal assistant. She also appeared in several on-air bits along with other female staffers.
