Two former Big Brother houseguests are among the cast members on the 2oth Season of The Amazing Race.  CBS has announced the eleven teams who will race around the world, competing for a million dollar prize.

Brendon Villegas and Rachel Reilly have competed on Big Brother more than once. Now engaged, the couple is hoping they will be the ones to grab that prize.

Meet the teams competing on Season Twenty of Amazing Race, which premieres on CBS Sunday, February 19th 2012 at 8/7PM Central.

This weekend many were shocked to learn that Project Runway's host, supermodel Heidi Klum is separating from singer Seal, after seven years of marriage. In fact, even some of the couple's closest friends were reportedly stunned to learn of the pending divorce.

Klum, 38, and Seal, 48 have three children together (Henry, 6, Johan, 5, and Lou, 2) and were also raising Klum's seven-year-old daughter, Leni. The divorce will undoubtedly be difficult on the children, which has led many insiders to conjecture that something big (like infidelity) must be behind the split.

But the couple, who have always seemed deeply in love and committed to their family since they married in 2005, insist they have simply "grown apart."

In a joint statement the couple said, "We have had the deepest respect for one another throughout our relationship and continue to love each other very much, but we have grown apart. This is an amicable process and protecting the well-being of our children remains our top priority."

Seal speaks out about the split on today's The Ellen DeGeneres Show and this Friday on PBS's Tavis Smiley show. In the latter interview, (see a preview here)  Seal says, "What one has to do in this situation is remain civil and to retain one's dignity and to be professional and to understand that we are not the only people on this planet that go through this. It is just, unfortunately, a chapter of life."

What do you think? Were you surprised by the announcement? What do you think is behind the divorce? How do you think this will impact their kids?

When American Idol premiered Wednesday, it garnered the highest ratings of the night.

But, the 21.6 million viewers represented a significant drop from the previous season's premiere.  In fact, it was an 18 percent drop from the 26.2 million who tuned in to see  Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez make their first appearance as Idol judges.

The dip in viewers was even worse when evaluating the coveted audience of 18 to 49-year-olds.  The TV viewers most prized by advertisers dropped 27 percent since last season.

Last week, Fox chairman Kevin Reilly predicted the dip, saying the network expected the audience for Idol to be down this season because of the show's age.

But, American Idol has been the number one show on TV for the past six of the singing competition's eleven seasons. If that's showing its age,  Idol may not have anything to worry about.

Except the competition.  First, Fox's new reality competition, The X Factor, may have bled off some viewers. Next comes, The Voice, which premieres in February and will give Idol a run for the money.

But what kept viewers from tuning in this week?
