Kate Gosselin to Star in New TLC Series

Wendy — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:20:12 +0000

I can’t believe TLC is giving Kate Gosselin another show… but they are. Jon and Kate Plus 8 wraps up its run on Monday, but that won’t keep Kate off of the TV.

In September, TLC announced that Jon and Kate Plus 8 would become Kate Plus 8, but Jon put the kibosh on that one when he refused to let his kids be on TV any longer.

But there is another show in Kate Gosselin’s near future – TLC confirms that “Kate Plus 8 is not in production,” but says, “We are focusing on the launch of Kate’s new series in early spring.”

No details have yet been revealed by the network about Kate’s series.

Crave attention much? Tila Tequila’s Ustream performance is drawing plenty of attention – the reality ho was seen this morning on Ustream, stripping down and setting off on a naked rant.

Tila Tequila’s Ustream striptease nude rant included topics like hygiene (she pulls out a tampon? blechhhhh)… and
San Diego Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman, who attacked her in September.

Tila Tequila says in the Ustream video: “I am an angel … because I am here to save the world with my army. People call me an attention whore .. or whatever … but excuse me I’m a grown ass woman and I’m confident in myself …I think a woman’s body is a beautiful thing … that’s why I’m a lesbian … I was born naked … anybody who is against that is gay and in denial.”

Nothing like going out with a bang – Tila, who starred on the reality series “A Shot at Love” said, “This is the last time I’ll ever be on ustream ever again.”

Girl is crazy.

The world is Levi Johnston’s oyster, it seems. Or at least he intends to ride out his 15 minutes of fame for as long as he can.

The latest buzz is that Levi Johnston has been approached about being a contestant on “Dancing With the Stars” and “Survivor.”

So says his bodyguard/manager (?) Tank, anyway.

Tank and Levi Johnston fed the rumor mill during an interview at last night’s GQ Man of the Year event:

It’s the end of Jon & Kate Plus 8 – the TLC reality show is over this month, with the Jon and Kate series finale airing on November 23.

That means just two episodes of Jon & Kate Plus 8 will air this month. The series finale promises a sit down between the Gosselins, “to provide new insights on their recent life events” and a look to the future.

The Jon & Kate Plus 8 series finale will also show Kate taking the kids to a local dairy farm, and Jon taking them to a firehouse.

The series will wrap up with a final montage ending, summing up the five seasons that Jon & Kate have been on the air.

Wipeout Contestant Death – Contestant Suffered Stroke During Wipeout

Wendy — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 20:17:51 +0000

A Wipeout contestant death has led to the investigation over Tom Sparks’ stroke – was it due to a pre-existing disease, or is Wipeout too dangerous?

There’s no disputing that people have to get hurt on Wipeout – how could they not? But the Wipeout contestant death is causing people to wonder whether the show will be shut down completely or continue on.

Tom Sparks, a 33-year-old former TV host from California, died on October 19 of an apparent stroke. Sparks was competing in a third season taping of Wipeout.

The Los Angeles County coroner’s office is investigating the cause of death, however his doctors believe the stroke was triggered by a pre-existing disease that causes unnatural blood clotting.

The coroner’s office told CNN: “There’s nothing we can confirm until we look at everything. We don’t want to jump to any conclusions yet.”

The wipeout death happened after the contestant complained of knee pain while running part of the obstacle course challenge.

He was tended to by medics and taken to a nearby hospital, before being transferred later to Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles, California.

ABC issued this statement: “We offer our heartfelt condolences to the family. This is a tragic loss and our thoughts are with them at this time.”
