TOP 10 WAR

David Letterman reportedly had to scrap a proposed Late Show Top 10 list that poked fun at the lawsuit filed against CBS by contestant Stacey Stillman in which she claimed the game was rigged. According to the New York Post, Tuesday's Late Show was to feature the "Top Ten Reasons to Sue CBS." However, the bit was later replaced with the "Top Ten Things Dumb Guys Think J.Lo Means." A show rep insisted that the switch was not ordered by CBS. "We had no contact with the network about the Top 10," said the spokesperson. "We substituted the J.Lo Top 10 because we thought it was funnier." However, one member of the audience disagreed, saying, "The original one was much funnier."
