Kate and her husband, Jon Gosselin, have filed for divorce after 10 years of marriage and, among other things, they’ve been talked about in the press so much about her alleged affair and bad parenting and Jon’s infidelity.  A lot of viewers were heartbroken to see this family fall apart but it happens to even the best of people and, while I haven’t always been a fan of Kate, I think that she has conducted herself a lot better through this ordeal than Jon has. 

Of course, some people have been holding out hope that the famous couple would get back together and, apparently, Regis Philbin is one of them.  He really pressed her about whether she would go back to Jon and said that the couple might “live happily ever after.”  I thought it was really inappropriate even if it is something that a lot of people have wondered about.  What do you think?  Did Regis go too far?  Watch the video and decide!  Kate actually looks close to tears.

They also talked about how The Bachelorette (Jillian Harris) picked Ed and Kelly said she wasn’t sure which contestant he had been.  She asked if he was the one who was creepily tugging on Jillian’s ear in Hawaii.  When an audience member said yes, Kelly was like “oh great, well he’s hear tomorrow.”  Ha ha!

Other topics that they discussed included a swimsuit mishap at the swimming competition yesterday, the fact Kelly’s son, Michael, is home from summer camp, professional wrestling and Regis’ date night with his wife, Joy.

According to Entertainment Tonight, Regis said (of Jackson’s death):  "It was a tremendous shock.  I know his health probably wasn’t the greatest but I didn’t expect him to go this soon… I remember him on the Joey Bishop show years ago, he must have been nine or 10 years old and I’ve been watching him ever since.  He came on the show and just electrified people. It’s a big loss."

Of Fawcett’s death to cancer yesterday, Regis added: "I interviewed her over the years.  She was a great beauty. She really hung in there and defied all the odds."

What a sad day in Hollywood.  I’m happy to see the outpouring of love and support, though.  How have you reacted to these celebrity deaths?  I couldn’t stop thinking about it all last night.

The Ellen DeGeneres Show has by far taken the crown for the most amount of nominations this year with over six of them! Rachael Ray and Dr. Phil got a good amount as well. Who are you rooting for? I have no idea who’s going to win for Outstanding Talk Show. It’s quite a close match, so it should be interesting to see who takes it!

This year Vanessa Williams will be hosting the awards show! Make sure to catch the event on August 30th at 8 pm E.T on the CW Network!

Oprah Winfrey: "I just want to say how deeply saddened I am, we all are, by the sudden passing of actress Natasha Richardson yesterday. Our thoughts and prayers are with her husband Liam Neeson, their two sons, the rest of their family and friends. Yet another reminder of how fleeting life can be and how precious. We need to value every moment."

Kelly Ripa: "She was a lady. I can’t tell you enough what a good person she was, and fun and vivacious and the most full of life."

Martha Stewart (via Twitter): "Just heard the tragic news about poor Natasha Richardson. Her family must be devastated. My sincerest condolences to all."

Regis and Joy Philbin: "They live around the corner from us. It’s such a surprise. She’s a lovely woman. Liam and those two little boys are great. They’re a lovely family."

The Today show also aired a segment about Natasha Richardson’s rich and vibrant life.  She will be missed.

Regis and Kelly also asked her about how she got into the business (she was pre-law but decided she wanted to be a singer and dropped out of school).  Kara explained that she is not on Idol to replace Paula Abdul but then Regis pulled out a quote where Simon Cowell said that “one girl is bad enough, two is unbearable.”  Wow, what a gem!

After they showed a clip of her audition, Kelly asked why Bikini Girl was in a bikini.  Kara suggested that maybe the girl, whose name is Katrina Darnell, meant to show up at the Hawaiian Tropics audition.  Too funny!

Here’s a video (forgive the subtitles):
