Shane Sparks Arrested

Friday December 18, 2009

Reality star Shane Sparks has been arrested for child molestation.

The So You Think You Can Dance choreographer and America's Best Dance Crew judge was arrested in North Hollywood today. He is charged with 9 counts of molestation.  His charges include the felony of a lewd act upon a child.  According to KTLA, Shane's arrest comes 15 years after the alleged molestation took place.  He is currently being held on $590,000 bail.

Shane rose to fame as a popular choreographer  and guest judge on So You Think You Can Dance. He also landed a regular gig as a judge on MTV's America's Best Dance Crew.

Sadly, Shane isn't the first SYTYCD choreographer to be arrested for a sex-related crime this year.  Alex Da Silva was arrested on rape charges in August.

Gosselin Divorce Final: Jon and Kate Gosselin Are Officially Divorced!

Friday December 18, 2009

The Gosselin divorce is final! A judge signed the divorce papers today, officially ending Jon and Kate Gosselin's 10-year marriage.

"I am very relieved that our divorce has been finalized, and I look forward to the New Year, focusing on the children," Kate said in a statement. "On behalf of myself and my legal team, I want to express my deep appreciation to the Judge and his staff, as well as to the arbitrator, for resolving this case."

Just one year ago, Jon & Kate Plus 8 viewers would never have guessed that 2009 would end with a Gosselin divorce headline. Even though the reality TV couple had their moments on camera, it seemed like the Gosselin family were a team. But Jon and Kate's marriage was secretly falling apart - and Jon's rumored infidelity in April didn't help the situation much.

So, what were the terms of the Gosselin divorce? Kate gets the house and the children, and they will work out custody among themselves. For the sake of the children, we hope it all works out.

Jersey Shore Couple Still Together

Thursday December 17, 2009

Jersey Shore couple Sammi and Ronni are still going strong!

Sammi told Life and Style magazine, "I'm in it for the long haul. We live about an hour apart, and I try to see him as much as I can."

"We're still sticking strong," Ronnie said.

Well, we're glad to see that two Jersey Shore stars are happily in love. In an interview earlier this week, fellow Jersey Shore star Snooki told Conan Brian she also wants to find love on a reality show. Snooki said she wants to get her own dating show titled Snooking for Love.

Snooki said her ideal man "has to be a juice head...a big guy. They have to take care of me if I get into a fight or something."

OK, Snooki. Does that exclude the throw-up guy from episode one?
