'Jon & Kate Plus 8' Renewed!


TLC announced today that Jon & Kate Plus 8 will return for a fifth season. The fate of the TLC show, which follows Jon and Kate Gosselin as they raise 8-year-old twins and 4-year-old sextuplets, was left up in the air during the finale of season four.

The popular show that attracted record ratings for its March 23 finale will join a busy roster of returning programs, such as 18 Kids and Counting, A Baby Story, American Chopper, What Not to Wear, and Little People, Big World.

The Gosselin's marriage has also been a topic of media conversation lately. Jon was also spotlighted in the tabloids, showing photos of him partying with college girls at a bar. During the finale of last season, Jon Gosselin revealed he was not happy with being in the spotlight. But it looks like they're going to be back with an all new season. Suck it up, Jon, people love your family and want to see more!

The Duggar Family Welcomes Baby #18!

Are you familiar with the Duggar family? On Monday night (tonight), the Duggars will officially update the name of their TLC network series, 17 Kids & Counting, to 18 Kids & Counting. Please, stop. Population control, people! Christmas came early for the Duggar family, in the form of Jordyn-Grace Makiya, born – via C-section - on Thursday.

The name for this latest addition to the family was chosen only "the other day," said Jim Bob, with the family putting the decision to a vote. The only requirement, of course, was that – as with the rest of the children – the first name began with the letter J.

Well, good for them, having all those healthy kids. I don't know how they do it, do you? Well, watch some of their reality show on TLC to find out more about this huge family! We wonder how they exchange presents in their household over the holidays, phew!

J.Lo set to star in new TLC reality show


New mom Jennifer Lopez, 39, was a producer for MTV's "DanceLife" and made a cameo on Fox's "American Idol." But this time the singer-actress-dancer wants the camera on her.

Lopez has signed a contract to star in an unscripted TLC series that follows the star as she balances work and motherhood. She will also be an executive producer of the show.

"Jennifer is unbelievably passionate about life and will be an incredible role model for our audience," said TLC President Angela Shapiro-Mathes.

"I'm looking forward to sharing this exciting journey together," Lopez said.

Lopez has three fashion lines and her show will include the launch of a new fragrance from her perfume collection. She and husband Marc Anthony, 38, welcomed twins in February.

But Lopez isn't the only celebrity going the reality TV route. She is preceded by Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Ashlee Simpson, the Osbournes and more. Thirty-seven-year-old Kelly Ripa of "Live with Regis and Kelly" will also host an upcoming TLC series, and she and her husband Mark Consuelos have a deal with TLC so the station has first dibs on upcoming projects the two develop for their production company Milojo Prods.
