Jon and Kate Gosselin file for divorce

People.com is reporting that Jon and Kate Gosselin filed divorce papers in Pennsylvania today to end their 10-year marriage.  It has been widely anticipated that the couple will use tonight's episode of Jon & Kate Plus Eight to announce their split, based on press reports and suspicious spots promoting the one-hour episode on TLC.  

Family Split Apart by Deportation

Despite being a U.S. citizen, Saul, having no other relatives near by, followed his mom, Elvira Arellano to Tijuana to return later, alone to Chicago to go back to school.

Elvira was not a U.S. citizen, she crossed the border illegally, twice. She had no legal rights to be in the United States, but what about the rights of her son? Does he have a right to be with his mom?

Saul´s story is not unique. Thousands of children in the United States live in fear that their parents could be deported, thousands more have seen their families torn apart by immigration laws. Being born in the United States ensures they are citizens from birth, and most do not know other country.

The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees citizenship at birth to almost all individuals born in the United States or in U.S. jurisdictions, according to the principle of jus soli.

Certain individuals born in the United States, such as children of foreign heads of state or children of foreign diplomats, do not obtain U.S. citizenship under jus soli.

Also individuals born outside of the United States are born citizens because of their parents, according to the principle of jus sanguinis (which holds that the country of citizenship of a child is the same as that of his / her parents).

Now roughly 150 children are asking President Barack Obama to halt the deportations of their parents until Congress overhauls U.S. immigration laws.

The children are all U.S. citizens and say their constitutional rights are being violated because they, too, will likely have to leave the country if their parents are forced to leave.

But herein lies the dilemma and I ask.  If a person enters a country "illegally" they know that they are here illegally right?  So why is it that we afford their children born in the US citizenship?  I think that we need to revise the 14th Amendment here.

We could end all of this back and forth nonsense about borders and the like by enforcing our own and make the rules plain and simple for all to understand.  If you enter the country illegally you will be deported - you and your little kiddies too!

Furniture Designed for Plus Sized People

As the obesity rate rises (the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that more than a third of adults in the U.S. are obese), companies are looking to capitalize on this growing group of consumers. While plus size clothing is commonplace--Target, Forever 21 and TopShop launched trendy plus size clothing lines already this year--less attention has been paid to the way overweight and obese people live in their homes. Last week BrylaneHome began selling a line of furniture and home accessories called "Plus+ Size Living" which includes oversized bath towels and chairs that hold up to 800 lbs.

And they say that children playing video games all day long and watching TV is nothing to be worried about. 

Melrose Place - Extended Preview

Just because I'm loving it I thought I'd post some more for yah... Give me give me give me MORE MELROSE PLACE!

Melrose Place - Spell Melrose

If you are like me you a probably just dying to get to the fall and the new Melrose Place.

Just a shame (spoiler coming) that they brought Sidney back (yeah you thought she did in the original right - well NOT!) just to kill her in the season premiere episode.  Her murder is what drives the first season along with flash backs of where she was and what happened after we all saw her die in the arms of her then husband on the original Melrose Place circa 1997.

Jon & Kate to Make Announcement on Monday Show

Are Jon and Kate Gosselin announcing a divorce?

"Recently we've made some life-changing decisions," Kate says in a voiceover on a new TLC promo for a one-hour Jon & Kate Plus 8 episode to air Monday. "Decisions that will affect every member of our family...ones that we hope will bring each of us some peace."

Phrases like "A relationship at a crossroads" and "Where do they go from here?" also flash across the screen during the 30-second promo.  Such phrases might be setting the viewers up for a divorce announcement OR will they pull a fake out and go straight to a marriage counselor?  Just the way it is shot it seems to much like a set up to me.  As if they posed this way and that way.

Then of course there is the other option... bringing in the Octomom as a special guest star for the rest of the season.  LOL

Ryan Seacrest, Lindsay Lohan Meet to Plan Reality Show

Ryan Seacrest and Lindsay Lohan were spotted out together in Hollywood Thursday night, but it turns out that their meetup was strictly business.

"Met with Lindsay last night about a show idea I have for her…it helps people and gives others a second shot!" Ryan wrote on his Twitter page on Friday, one day after he and the actress went to H.Wood in L.A. "Still putting it all together."

The American Idol host is no stranger to producing. In addition to his radio hosting gig, the star has lent his TV production talents to E!'s Keeping Up with the Kardashians as well asBrody Jenner MTV show, Bromance.

Lohan also mentioned details of the project on her Twitter page Friday.

"Working on a really great project for television -- I am excited!" she wrote. "Something meaningful like Extreme Home Makeover on ABC… :)"

The premise of the potential series is that real people who are on the wrong track and looking for a second chance are given $1 million to make it happen. Lohan, no stranger to the concept, would likely serve on a panel of judges who hear contestants' stories.
