Letterman On Paris Hilton: 'I Went Too Far'

David Letterman has publicly apologized to Paris Hilton for mocking her highly-publicized stint in prison.

The veteran late-night TV presenter caused a stir last year when he grilled the Simple Life star about her prison stint and refused to change the subject when Hilton begged him to.

"I made a fool of myself and I hurt the woman's feelings,” said Letterman. “I went too far."

Adamant on changing his ways, Letterman began his chat with Hilton by apologizing for his behaviour during their previous encounter, prompting Hilton to say, "I hope you got the whole jail thing out of your system."

And the chat show host was on his best behaviour, chatting to Hilton about her new film and helping her to promote her own sparkling wine, cellphone videogame and shoe, jewellery, watch, scent and clothing lines.

The thrilled socialite had some kind words for the host when he asked her if she was glad to be back, stating, "You're being really well behaved so far. You're not being naughty."

And, after swearing she'd return, Letterman presented Hilton with a bunch of flowers.

To relive all the madness, check out both the heiress'
