Kate Gosselin Wants You to Know the Answers to the Questions No One Asked
It always amuses me when reality star and pop celebrities write and release books for their fans. They don't really strike me as big readers. Kate Gosselin, the former star of 'Jon & Kate Plus 8' and tabloid magazines at a grocery store near you, has released her own book titled 'I Just Want You to Know.' Funny, I don't know anyone who wanted to know in the first place.
The book was published by Zondervan, a Christian book publisher, so the book not only features her accounts of what went on behind the scenes, but also things such as prayers taken from her own journal. Prayers, those would have come in handy when her show was on the air.
The Coolest Thing You'll See Today: Beaker Channels Kansas
This time, Beaker attempts to "meep" his way through the Kansas ballad, "Dust in the Wind," but the Internet doesn't seem too pleased with it, which is like saying that Toyota made a little bit of a "boo-boo" with the manufacturing of their cars.

Big Shot TV Producers Aren't Straying From Familiar Territory, And Why Not?
If you're one of the fortunate few who make it big in the television biz, shouldn't you take the opportunity to use that cushy cushion you have built for yourself and take a big risk on something exciting and new? Not if you're one of these big television producers. Big shots like Shawn Ryan, David E. Kelley, and Shonda Rhimes all have pilots in the can that don't seem to stray much farther from the shows that made them the big shots that they are today.
For instance, Ryan, creator of the groundbreaking FX cop drama 'The Shield,' has another cop drama premiering with Fox called 'Ridealong.' Kelley, the writer/producer behind 'The Practice' and 'Boston Legal,' has created a reality drama for NBC called 'Kindred.' Even Rhimes, the woman behind ABC's 'Grey's Anatomy,' has another medical drama show for ABC called 'Off the Map.' Is ABC looking to create an all-medical soap opera cable channel in the coming year?
TLC Puts the Brakes on 'American Chopper'
The family reality show that would never say die just died. TLC has officially canceled the long-running 'American Chopper', which has been on the air since 2003 when it first found footing on the Discovery Channel. The show's final episode will air on Thursday.
Say what you will about the series running past its prime, but both the show and its subjects have been through a hell of a lot of mayhem. The shop played host to a ton of thick, rich drama, capping with the final season in which Paul Jr. leaves the shop on very heated terms and eventually led to Paul Sr. suing his son for a $1 million in back company stock.
If you're curious to know how things will wrap up, check out a preview of the final episode at Turbo.Discovery.com.
TV Squad Ten: Most/Least Sexy Super Bowl Ads of All Time
Will Rogers once said, "Advertising is the art of convincing people to spend money they don't have for something they don't need." And how do you that? That's easy. Just sprinkle in some sex! It's nature's negotiator.
Of course, it's not as simple as it sounds. These days, people are easier to offend than Catholic nuns and the FCC has made it nearly impossible to advertise products the way God intended (i.e. naked girls with abnormally large boobs writhing and moaning over the awesomeness of Flonase). So an even subtler art of using sex to get your money lies within this deeply layered process. Here are the best of the best and the worst of the worst.

Tired of Just Looking at the Cast of 'Jersey Shore?' Now You Can Look Like Them!
Oh, American parents. Will their television ever give them a break? First, they worried about their kids watching seedy reality shows like 'Jersey Shore' and now they have to worry about something far worse: their kids LOOKING like they are from 'Jersey Shore'. Apparently, the "guido" heavy reality show has inspired its own style and not just among groups like Italian Americans or women bashing douchebags. Everyone is catching on to the 'Jersey Shore' look.
Here are some of the tell-tale signs that your kids might be falling into the "Jersey" crowd: Ed Hardy glittering shirts, ab revealing tops, hair that defies all known laws of physics and can even stop bullets. If your child exhibits any of these symptoms, please seek professional help immediately, starting with your barber.
Keith Olbermann Denies that 'Countdown' is Going Down
So naturally 'Countdown', hosted by the rather large (both in stature and physical size) talking head Keith Olbermann, had to respond to a report that appeared in the New York Post's "Page Six" column claiming that his show is one baboon hair away from cancellation hell.

Bill O'Reilly Tones Down the Funny in Final Part of His Jon Stewart Interview
Jon Stewart, the host of Comedy Central's 'The Daily Show', kept his trademark charm and wit at high volume during the third and final portion of their edited interview, even though the tone and substance of their discussion got a lot more serious.
And thankfully, O'Reilly put down his red nose and took off his clown make-up for this portion of the interview. As Joel mentioned yesterday, O'Reilly is painful to watch when he tries to be funny. Screw waterboarding; the NSA should have hired him as the emcee for their interrogations.
