As he approaches his Aug. 30 CBS anniversary, Letterman has lately been especially effusive. *To Jamie Lee Curtis: ''Wha-hoo, man, I'm telling you something, that is one happenin' dress.'' * To Rosie Perez: ''Man, you couldn't look more summery.... There's something very sweet and appealing about you. You're just a lovely woman.'' *On Julia Roberts: ''She's a very nice woman, very sweet, very kind, very thoughtful.'' * To Penelope Ann Miller: ''You want to go?

''I think she's even better-looking now.'' * To Mariel Hemingway: ''We make a charming couple, don't you believe?'' * To Kate Nelligan: ''Kate, you're charming and delightful as always.'' * To Teri Garr: ''You smell nice, that's good.'' * To Susan Sarandon: ''You look wonderful. You look What are people laughing about?''
