Jon & Kate Plus 8 ratings have continued to plummet since its record breaking season 5 premiere.

But during the voiceover for the upcoming episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8, Kate Gosselin says that her and Jon Gosselin will be making a big announcement.

The internet is a buzzing with what Kate's announcement will be and all of us bloggers think she'll announce that she's getting divorced. I'd prefer for Kate to say that she's going to start going to marriage counseling, she's bi-sexual, Jon sucks at life but she loves him... anything but a split! Should Kate and Jon stay "together" for the sake of the kids. They already seem like they've drifted so far apart.

Each one of the Gosselin children have seven siblings to turn to. These kids are so happy and so full of life and if their parents do split, it will be just a minor detour in their lives and they'll continue to learn, grow and prosper.

That being said, no matter what Kate's announcement is, I expect her to remind us that no matter what, everything bad that happens in her family's life is all Jon's fault.

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt appeared on The Today Show this morning where the always positive and friendly Al Roker unleashed an attack upon them.

Al would let no question go unanswered and he was annoyed by Speidi, to say the least. One didn't have to watch a single episode of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! or even know who Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are in order to walk away thinking that they're disgusting human beings after Al's interview. Well done!

I think Speidi are publicity geniuses, but their behavior on I'm a Celebrity was horrific.

I have to pay homage to Jon & Kate Plus 8, a show I never cared to tune into until Jon Gosselin allegedly cheated on Kate Gosselin after Kate Gosselin allegedly cheated on Jon Gosselin!

Since Jon and Kate began making headlines, I have tuned into the popular TLC show and I only watched it one day watch it for their adorable kids. Kate Gosselin just turned 34, and her and Jon have been together for 10 years! I don't think that would happen in L.A. First of all, no one gets married under their mid-30s, and those that do don't remains so for more than a few years.

But the Gosselins aren't Cali snobs, and thus far they've made it work. That was until they invited cameras into their home and became Hollywood snobs and tabloid fodder. It's called the Hollyweird effect. Here's Jon and Kate before, during and after reality TV changed their reality.

Also, Kate's blush in the pic above is overkill. Who knew Xtina Aguilera was an on-call makeup artist?

I watched I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here on MTV this weekend and I was pretty disgusted.

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are an embarrassment to themselves. Spencer also thinks that being on the show is beneath him. They have quit twice during the first episode, rumors that they were tortured and Spencer will sue NBC turned out to be false, and now they finally have their wish - Speidi officially quit the show for good. What indecisive, weak losers they are!

After the newlyweds spent a night in the "Lost Chamber," the other contestants welcomed them back into the competition on Monday night's two-hour episode.

"I guess this is what we deserve for being cry babies," Spencer said during their 14-hour stay in the spider-filled room. Still, back at camp, Heidi and the newly religious Spencer didn't gain friends. "I don't believe him for a second," newcomer Daniel Baldwin said of Spencer. "This is the wolf in sheep's clothing."

Even Janice Dickinson -- who took the Pratts' side in an argument over dry shampoo in a previous episode -- felt the wrath of Spencer, who warned her that he'll "Spence out" after she said Heidi sounded like a "drowned cat" when she sang.

The drama continued when Heidi was hospitalized for a gastric ulcer. Spencer added: "If Heidi is sick, then I'm sick because we are of one flesh."

At the end of the episode, fellow competitor Lou Diamond Phillips announced "They are no longer part of the competition. They are gone."

Spencer said. "Now, it's about health. At the end of the day, we went back in and proved it wasn't about us. This was a life-changing experience."

Holly Montag will show her ugly face on the show this Wednesday. She's joining the cast.

The 5th season of Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-list premieres tonight at 10 p.m. on Bravo. Kathy's reality show gets better and better.

Kathy Griffin talks to TV Guide.com about what's in store this season. Set your TiVos and DVRs, all.

TVGuide.com: What other guest-stars can we expect to see this season?
Griffin: All the guests that were on this year [were] so cool to spend time with. And these are people you've always wanted to meet. Rapper T.I. — I didn't even know who he was until I met him at the Grammys and I was like, "Who is that guy that looks like a bank robber?" Lily Tomlin [and I] were working together. Then there's everybody from Gloria Estefan to Rosie O'Donnell. I went to Paula Deen's house in Savannah where she cooked for me.

TVGuide.com: How about those pics we saw of you and Paris in bikinis?
Griffin: I decided that in addition to a Grammy, I really need to immerse myself where I belong — in young Hollywood. And I need all that goes along with that, meaning, I should be bangin' someone from The Hills. And if that means Heidi and Spencer, so be it. But yeah, Paris Hilton epitomizes young Hollywood, so we went shopping together, which is a long, hard workday for her. But she taught me a thing or two about young Hollywood, and I think I taught her a thing or two about how to have a smokin' hot body. She got schooled that day.

TVGuide.com: Does your love life come up at all in the upcoming episodes?
Griffin: We really don't see my love life. I'm still trying to get over my relationship with Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys. It may have been one date, but for me, it was an entire relationship. So I'm going to try to get that started up again at some point, or at least Aaron Carter. And I also think Jon from Jon & Kate Plus 8 will be available soon.

TVGuide.com: We should start a publicity-generating rumor that you're Jon's mistress.
Griffin: I would love to. Or that I'm the other woman with Kate — because she's got the lesbian haircut circa Rosie O'Donnell right after The Rosie O'Donnell Show. Actually, I think that haircut is causing her more problems than the husband. It's a toss up. I'm certainly not a fashionista, but even I want to even it out. It looks like one of those kids got a hold of the scissors.

TVGuide.com: How about doing one of those celebrity reality shows to get some buzz, like Dancing with the Stars?
Griffin: They've asked me to do it, but I can't even touch my toes. And let me tell you the basic flaw with Dancing with the Stars: People shouldn't be hospitalized the first week of rehearsal. You have all these celebrities, that can't dance anyways, doing it for whatever reason — to put on a bedazzled, gay outfit — I get that part. But I'm not going to Cedar Sinai for it. I'm happy to go on a silly show, but I'm not going to break a bone for it. If I'm going to break any bones, it's going to be for My Life on the D-List for that Emmy.

TVGuide.com: You could always eat bugs on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!.
Griffin: I've eaten so much sh-t in Hollywood that eating a bug wouldn't be all that bad.

Heidi Montag began "convulsively throwing up" on the Costa Rica set of I'm a Celebrity.

She was rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with a gastric ulcer! Heidi and Spencer Pratt were held in a dark room with only water, rice and beans as punishment for leaving the show.

One cast member said "It's the same as Guantanamo Bay." I guess they have terrorists on the show... True, does Janice Dickinson's face count?

NBC execs also tried to convince Heidi to stay instead of taking an ambulance to the hospital! Heidi did go to the hospital and was prescribed meds. She has since left.

AND, this show sounds so shady! I don't think it will run for another season cause they treat contestants like poop. At least I hope not.

TMZ reports,

We're told some of the cast members want to quit, but their passports have been taken away and they are under guard.

Paul Telegdy,  NBC's Exec VP of Alternative Programming, told Ryan Seacrest about holding Heidi and Spencer in isolation as punishment, adding, "... They are now going to be examined, and their value system utterly deconstructed ... These people really are going to bare their souls."

We're told Spencer has fired his lawyer (who wanted him to stay on the show) and is now planning to sue NBC over the show.

Spencer and Heidi now want out ... for good ... but there's a problem -- they signed a contract with NBC to do the show.

Even though Kourtney Kardashian has a Twitter, a website, famous siblings and reality television cameras and accompanying network websites to promote her, the turnout for Kourtney's speed dating event was embarrassing.

Khloe and Kourt put together the event which was being filmed for their new reality show. The Hollywood Gossip sent a staff member to check it out and "date" lil ol' Kourtney Kardashian.

Here's some hilarious first-hand details of what went down:

There couldn't have been more than a dozen dudes there. Good move holding the event in the middle of a work day. Are you trying to only set Kourtney up with jobless losers, Khloe?!?

There were also two SWAT guys, one police officer and multiple bouncers present; the 10 of us, which included at least one obvious homeless person, were almost outnumbered.

Finally, the event began.

Oddly, Khloe came out a couple moments later and personally invited me inside. The girls seemed strangely excited to meet me, which I later discovered was due to the good word put in on my behalf by a Miami Herald reporter that I had befriended in line.

I stood across from the sisters. Kourtney quietly asked how I was doing. Before I even had a chance to smile, Khloe practically leaped over the table and asked: HOW'S YOUR PENIS?!? (It was growing more frightened by the second.)

Almost every question was asked by Khloe (Kourtney uttered the occasional "I like that" and no more) and almost every question was sexual in nature: What...  CONTINUED

Kate Gosselin took her eight kids on a vacation to North Carolina for an episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8. She even pulled twin daughters Madelyn and Cara, 8, outta school for the trip!

While the cameras were rolling, Kate Gosselin gave her kids attention, but when they weren't, it was a different story. Kate spent her time texting and huddling with her bodyguard and rumored boyfriend Steve Nelid. The tummy tucked reality star allegedly "completely ignored her children the entire time."

When Kate sat on the edge of the pool, she told one of her twin daughters, "If you splash me, you're dead meat. She was not joking at all."

The child's response?

"She said, 'Mommy, you are mean!'"

Another vacationer, Kim Kirsch, said "Everyone that's encountered her says she's been rude, mean and hateful."

In Kate's defense, she has a horrible public image. Even if she were really sweet in person, folk would still say she's a raging bitch! That's just the way it goes sometimes, ya know?

Jon & Kate + Scandal = -40% Ratings. I should totally teach math on the side. After the Jon & Kate Plus 8 Memorial Day season 5 premiere pulled in an astonishing 9.8 million pairs of eyeballs, the show's next episode dropped by 40%!!!

Jon & Kate isn't in danger of being canceled any time soon, though, and the public's interest still thrives. Last Monday's 30-minute episodes pulled "5.5 million and 6 million viewers respectively."  Jon and Kate is still kicking ass for a cable television show!

But who knows if another ratings plunge is in the works? Monday's episode didn't address the fragile state of Kate Gosselin and Jon Gosselin's marriage. Instead, both of the 30-minute episodes revolved around material which had already been shot prior to their alleged cheating scandal.

Here's two clips and one bonus scene video from 'I'm a Celebrity...' with Spencer and Heidi. Heidi Montag bawls her eyes out, hot tempered Spencer Pratt gets into a fight, and Heidi is hungry, on her period and wants to leave on the first day. Enjoy!!
