filed under: Fight!, Gut Reactions, Politics, TV News

'Late Show' host David admitted on Thursday's show that his sex-driven joke about one of Sarah Palin's daughters was in "poor taste" and invited the rising GOP star on the show to make amends. Palin, in turn, appeared on the 'Today' show on Friday and slammed his humor as "degrading," leaving her spokeswoman to turn down Dave's offer by saying "it would be wise to keep (Palin's 14-year-old daughter) Willow away from David Letterman."

Hollywood isn't happy, and when celebs are steamed, expect to hear all about it. Such is the way with the passionate reaction to Tuesday's California Supreme Court decision to uphold the state's gay-marriage ban. Celebs ranging from the A-List to the D-List (and beyond) have taken to the streets and to their Twitter accounts to voice outrage over the ruling, which upholds the passing of Proposition 8 but allows all marriages that took place before the November vote to remain on the books.
