I've been meaning to add my two cents to this thread. I hope no one here meant to single out "starlets" -- because there are just as many empty-headed male late nite guests as female. For example, I remember recently sitting through a Letterman segment featuring Jack Black. I was just as bored listening to him babble as I am listening the female pretty young things who also spend time on the couch promoting their latest projects. At least with the ladies, I like to see what they're wearing before I flip the channel.

At one end of the spectrum, there are the starlets, who often have very little to say. At the other end, there's Tom Hanks and his ilk, who are, quite often, excellent guests. In the former case, it's a chance to have them on, fill a segment, and maybe find a good guest for the future; in the latter case, the guest probably doesn't want go through the preparation and burn a good story or two if there's not something in it, like plugging a movie, for him or her. -- TV or Not TV ....
