Kate Plus 8: CANCELED By TLC!
Kate Gosselin's days as a reality star are over.
After years of providing insight into her domestic bliss with Jon Gosselin, then the ugly demise of her relationship with Jon Gosselin, as she raised their eight children all the while, TLC has pulled the plug on her show.
R.I.P. Kate Plus 8.
"TLC has decided not to renew another season of Kate Plus 8," a network rep said. "By the end of this season Kate Plus 8 will have hit the 150 episode mark (including Jon & Kate Plus 8); an exceptional milestone."
"TLC hopes to check in with Kate Gosselin and the family periodically."
Read: Probably never, but that sounds kind of polite at least.
Sad news for Kate, but probably good news for the kids, who have been scarred for life as it is. Many times over. Besides, she'll have more free time now, which should help her efforts to start dating again. There's a silver lining.

Steven Colver Sentenced to Life in Prison; Tylar Witt Gets 15 Years For Murder
Tylar Witt was 14 when she helped her boyfriend kill her mom.
She will be spending more years than that behind bars even after she was given a reduced sentence in exchange for testifying against her accomplice.
Steven Colver, now 21, was sentenced to life without parole for the murder of 47-year-old Joanne Witt in 2009. Witt, now 16, will serve 15 to life.
Tylar Witt, who was convicted of second-degree murder, helped hatch the plot after Joanne Witt made a statutory rape complaint against her boyfriend.
Joanne gave police her daughter's diary. That was apparently enough to prompt Steven Colver to murder her, with Tylar aiding in the planning process.
Tylar testified at Colver's trial that they planned the killing together, but while he did it, she "put my hands on my ears, closed my eyes and hummed."
Michael Witt, who mopped up his sister's blood from her bed after she was stabbed 20 times, unleashed his anger, calling Colver a "psychotic S.O.B."

Totally calm doesn't mean she's not SO stoked, though!
The bride-to-be, who will be wearing a Vera Wang gown at her August 20 ceremony in Montecito, took to Twitter over the weekend to express her feelings:“OMGGGG my wedding is a week away!!!! This is so crazy!!! I’m so happy!”

Gene Simmons, Kiss to Perform at Michael Jackson Tribute Show
Gene Simmons and KISS will be performing at the Michael Jackson Tribute Concert in October, according to the late star's mother, Katherine Jackson.
This is quite ironic, given Gene's comments about Michael.
Simmons went on record, after Jackson died no less, to say that "There is no question in my mind he molested those kids. Not a doubt."
Simmons went on to say, "The only sexual references ever made about Michael Jackson that were made by anyone, anywhere in the world, have always been made by children, and specifically males usually 10 to 14 years of age."
"Never females, that age or older, and never grown men."
Um, yeah. Maybe he's letting bygones be bygones now?
In other news, Gene proposed to Shannon Tweed!!!!

Adam Levine Slams American Idol Treatment of Gay Contestants
Maroon 5 singer and The Voice coach Adam Levine poses topless for the new issue of gay magazine Out, while taking shots at a rival singing competition.
Levine, whose brother is gay, takes American Idol to task for making its contestants allegedly "mask" their sexuality, as Adam Lambert recently claimed.
Runner-up Lambert said he wasn't allowed to discuss his sexuality on the show due to AI's restriction on contestants giving interviews during the season.
"What’s always pi**ed me off about American Idol is wanting to mask it, for it to go unspoken,” says Levine. “C’mon. You can’t be publicly gay? At this point?"
"On a singing competition? Give me a break. You can’t hide basic components of these people’s lives," he adds. "To me, the fact that The Voice didn’t have any qualms about being completely about it is a great thing.”
Ironically, on The Voice this spring, Levine was briefly criticized for a perceived slam of Lambert, whose hit song he claimed he had never heard of.

Lindsay Lohan: Bloody, Lingerie-Wearing, Knife-Wielding Train Wreck!
Lindsay Lohan is wearing next to nothing, covered in blood and holding a knife. This combination of things can mean only one of two possible scenarios:
"She's just so daring," Shields said of Lindsay Lohan in a recent interview with Art Info. "She's a character in herself and she is very good at it."
"I shoot her a different way than I think anybody else shoots her, and I think she knows that and I think we compliment each other very well."
It's true. Lots of people shoot take Lindsay Lohan photos, but Shields is the only guy we know who still does so outside of a courtroom setting.

Dr. Conrad Murray Defense May Subpoena Nine Other Michael Jackson Doctors
Dr. Conrad Murray's defense team has nine former doctors of Michael Jackson on its witness list for Murray's upcoming involuntary manslaughter trial.
Among the doctors on the list is Dr. Arnold Klein, Jackson's dermatologist and friend whose treatment of the star has long been subject to scrutiny.
The last also includes Dr. Neil Ratner, who toured with Jackson in 1996 and 1997, and Dr. David Adams of Las Vegas, Nev., both anesthesiologists.
Ratner confirmed that Michael Jackson suffered from a sleep disorder, but wouldn't elaborate further. It's anticipated that Murray's lawyers, Ed Chernoff and Michael Flanagan, will grill Ratner about the specifics of his medical treatment.
In all, Dr. Murray's lawyers list 103 people who could be called at the trial, including a nurse practitioner, Cherilyn Lee, who claims Jackson asked her for Propofol in the weeks leading up to his death, but she refused to supply it.
Lee, a nurse practitioner and nutritionist who worked for Jackson, claimed in the days after his sudden death that he had asked her for Propofol in April 2009, was served with a subpoena to testify at the trial by Murray's defense.
