Turns Out Farrah Is Just Naturally Drippy
Farrah Fawcett has finally dished about her ditzy, dopey appearance on David Letterman’s “Late Show” last June.
Drugs? Alcohol? No, just nerves, Fawcett tells USA Today. She was scared about plugging her nude-painting video, Letterman kept making jokes about it, the audience kept “woo-wooing” and she simply spaced out.
Fawcett said that after the debacle her people wanted to lie and say she was giddy from many glasses of wine, but she flat-out refused.
“Truth is very important to me,” she said. “If anybody thinks I’m stupid enough to have a drink and use drugs, they’re out of their mind. And then go do ‘David Letterman’?!”
For the record, Fawcett says she only tried marijuana once: “I was 28. I ate a whole box of chocolate doughnuts and a steak. I can’t do that.”
