The next question goes to Sen. Santorum...

They made $10,358 for every hour they were married.

Kate sends the kids off to college

It isn't very pretty.

Kate Gosselin launches new website to whine and beg for money

"Kate + 8" is dead, but KatePlusMy8.com is live.

The menu of sections include Upcoming Events (nothing but a photo of Her Highness and the words "Coming Soon"), "Ask Kate" (er, "Coming Soon"), "Inspiration" (Kate and the kids with Taylor Swift and more "Coming Soon"), "Lovable Products" (dear God - "Coming Soon"), "Kate + Rumors" (that one should fill up fast -- soon) and "Find Kate a Job" (just kidding on that one).

In her kickoff blog entry, the talentless ex-TV star says the website is intended to fill the "void left in the hearts of many" after the ratings for her fake reality series tanked and TLC mercifully pulled the plug. Kate is now left to fend for herself, hoping against all odds that someone else will hire her to continue "TV work." As what? A WWF villainess? Talk-show hosteses have to be likable. Being a mom does not make one a celebrity. Meanwhile, the callous ice queen insulted working parents everywhere by saying that Jon is "mediocre" for working a "normal" job. (She then tried to backtrack on Twitter.)

While Kate has turned on the waterworks over the fact she no longer has a job, she went out and bought an Audi sports car -- just the thing you need when you have eight kids.

Maybe Obama's American Jobs Act will be able to lend her a hand.

What Hailey Glassman has been up to

Jon and Kate may be off the air, but Hailey is keeping herself busy to stay on the radar (and Radar).

Babs gets botched skin job

Before, not afterGawker breaks the news:

This very talented, multi-award-winning performer has long been the subject of comments about her unconventional looks. And it's more than a coincidence that, in most of her films, her leading man must proclaim their admiration of her beauty. She insists on it. And this is a girl who always gets her way. As the years have passed, it's been harder to compel people to provide her with constant reassurance of her physical beauty. So she recently went in for a full facelift. You'll see it soon enough as she has a new project coming out, and will likely be making the usual rounds of talk shows. Try not to let your jaw (or your nose, or your cheeks, or your "A") drop when you see her face. It's so smooth that it's not even funny.

Snake on a plane

Harry Deitz and some other news clowns are on WEEU right now gassing about how swell their product is, but I choose not to comment. This is bigger news:

French film actor Gerard Depardieu was caught short on a Paris to Dublin flight and chose not to bother going to the toilet before relieving himself, airline CityJet told AFP.

"I will only confirm that he, in effect, urinated in the plane," a spokeswoman for the Air France-KLM subsidiary said, confirming a report on Europe 1 radio, which interviewed a passenger who witnessed the incident.

According to the passenger, who was not named, the 62-year-old was visibly inebriated and tried to stand up before take-off, when passengers are asked to wear seatbelts, declaring: "I want to piss, I want to piss."

When a stewardess asked him to sit and wait 15 minutes until the jet took off and reached cruising altitude, he said he could not wait. "And there and then he stood up and did it on the floor," she told the French broadcaster.

"We could see he had been drinking. The stewardess was dumbfounded," she added. "No-one said anything. It all happened with courtesy. Mr Depardieu sat back down and the plane returned to the parking area to be cleaned."

The spokeswoman said the incident had taken place on Tuesday evening on board flight AF5010. She did not say whether the company intended to take further action against the popular French star.

According to a Paris Airports website, the Dublin route is served by an Avro RJ-85, a regional jet that can carry up to 111 passengers and is routinely equipped with onboard toilets both fore and aft.

Depardieu is perhaps the best known face in French cinema, having appeared in almost 200 films, and is known abroad as the star of the 1990 literary epic Cyrano de Bergerac and the US romantic comedy Green Card.

He is also a winemaker and in 1990 was convicted of drunk driving.

And then she was gone

Hope this doesn't hurt book sales...
