The Associated Press is reporting that on Monday, Jon and Kate Gosselin, from TLC's "Jon and Kate Plus Eight," are announcing a major 'life-changing' decision on
their show.

On the TLC Web site, there is a note about a special one-hour episode.

Guest blogger Lenni G. on the results:

First, there was Cat Deeley back on her fashion game big time. Loved her white tuxedo suit - Nigel called her "stunningly attractive and elegant." The way he said that, I assume he also had problems with the big red left side kite thingie from the night before. But I digress.

Sunday at 8 p.m. Lifetime airs the first of its movies based on two novels from Ellen Byerrum's Crimes of Fashion series.

First up, "Killer Hair."

If you want a fun, light chaser to wind up your weekend, tune in.

Last night on TVLand's reality show "She's Got the Look" one of the contestants went crazy.

Seriously. Or I guess she was off when they picked her, but, as the judges said after the event, 'she looked good in a photo' so they overlooked her odd behavior.

This was a woman, after all, who during her interviews said she was like both Mother Teresa and Oprah. Update: Joan of Arc and Oprah. She read odd, but I guess not THIS odd.

Unhappiness is a staticky TV.

The switch from analog to digital has many TV viewers suffering through some unanticipated pain
this week. Check out these articles on antenna and power supply problems at UNC-TV and also at WTVD (ABC), the two local stations who seem to be having the most trouble right now.

Oh yeah, and double-rescan!

Duke Energy CEO Jim Rogers (left) was the guest on Wednesday Tuesday night's "Colbert Report" with Stephen Colbert. Rogers appeared on the show to promote affordable environmental energy options.

Colbert asked Rogers if being called "the environmentalist energy company CEO" was an oxymoron. Rogers responded: "Job one for me is affordable, reliable, clean electricity, providing it 24x7." 

Colbert: "Good, because I loves me some electricity. I never turn lights out because that's when the ghosts come out."

Guest blogger Lenni Gutafson gives us the scoop on last night's show:

The normally fashion-perfect Cat Deeley hit the stage in what looked like a "big red, left side kite." I know her shoulders are the same width - I've seen them in other strapless outfits. After that initial shock, it was on to the dancing.

TV sets in the Triangle are still struggling with digital conversion, days after the nationally-mandated switchover on June 12.

UNC-TV is currently working to fix an antenna and power supply problem which will keep some sets Elmo-free throughout the summer. But many local viewers are also having trouble receiving a signal from WTVD, the local ABC affiliate.

ABC's problem appears to be nationwide. Some ABC affiliates, including WTVD, are broadcasting their digital signal on VHF, whereas most other stations broadcast on UHF. The power level assigned by the FCC for these VHF stations is lower, and that is causing the majority of reception problems.
