Is it too soon for him to be so public about his new romance? Should he be more discreet for his family's sake? Share your thoughts here.

Even though there have divorce papers filed, that doesn't mean that is will proceed. Both parties need to think about the kids first.

Was Al Roker too tough on reality stars Spencer and Heidi Pratt?
Tue Jun 16, 2009 9:06 AM EDT
On Monday, Spencer and Heidi Pratt, former stars of the reality show "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!" were interviewed by Al Roker on TODAY. Al grilled the couple about their behavior on the show, and repeatedly asked Heidi if she was proud of herself. After the show, Heidi took to the airwaves, appearing on Ryan Seacrest's radio show, telling him that Al was "rude" and spoke to her "aggressively and meanly." What do you think? Did Al go too far or was he just trying to get the answers? Share your thoughts!

Should 'Jon & Kate Plus 8' be cancelled for the kids' sake?
Mon Jun 1, 2009 5:24 PM EDT
Amid controversy over Jon and Kate Gosselin's parenting methods and rumors about their alleged infidelity, some say the future of "Jon & Kate Plus 8" is in jeopardy. But even if the couple can put their differences aside for the sake of the show, is all the publicity bad for their eight young children? What do you think?
