David Letterman has a habit of tipping his hand when talking to an actor or actress about the film he or she is promoting. Either he likes it or he doesn't. In the case that he has seen the movie and likes it, he will gush so profusely that it sometimes makes the promoting participant uncomfortable -- like he did with Natalie Portman about Brothers back in November. And then other times, he's seen movie, and maybe, well, it wasn't for him. That was the case last night when talking to Jennifer Aniston about Bounty Hunter. Unwilling to endorse the movie entirely to viewers, the Late Show host instead raved about Aniston's star quality ("You light up the screen and you say right there, that's worth the ten bucks."), her ability to run around in heels for 90 minutes onscreen and her co-star's (Gerald Butler) convincing American accent. Those rave soundbites, which could find their way onto the back of Bounty Hunter's DVD case, as well as the other highlights you missed last night while attending your first anger management class, after the jump.

Terry Bradshaw and American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi may seem like an odd pair of guests to share a Tonight Show segment but they gelled last night when their affable host threw them under the bus with a few embarrassing performance clips from decades ago.
2. Shannen Doherty Has a Really Good Reason for Doing Dancing with the Stars Guys
The Beverly Hills, 90210 star appealed for DwtS pity votes early last night with a teary appearance on Lopez Tonight, where she revealed that she is not subjecting herself to ABC's fame-whoriest show for herself, but for her father. Chad Ochocinco, which eight-time heart attack-suffering family member are you tangoing for?
1. A Moment with Jennifer Aniston
Say your guest starts off an interview awkwardly by making a bad Harry Smith colonoscopy joke and then asks you why you aren't wearing the tie she gave you as a gift? What do you do? If you're David Letterman, you run through her filmography and hope that the actress finds an artful way of interjecting that "stuck in the trunk" story she crafted with a producer hours earlier.
