After taking a shot at the Gosselins, the Law & Order brain trust has now set its sights on a certain late-night dog, plotting a ripped-from-the-headlines scenario based on David Letterman's personal life.

A casting call has just gone out for the episode, which will revolve around a "well-known celebrity talk-show host, married with children," who has engaged in "a series of short-lived affairs with some of the employees on the show and up until now has managed to keep them off the radar."

LOL first the Jon & Kate thing now this...I love it.

Army soldiers shot and killed 12 people and wounded 31 in a rampage at Fort Hood on Thursday, officials said.

A military briefing at 4 p.m. said three soldiers fired shots at the Soldiers Readiness Processing Center, a complex of several buildings.

Most of those killed were also soldiers, according to the briefing by Lt. Gen. Robert Cone, the post commander. One shooter was killed and the other two were in custody, he said.

Cone said that local police responded relatively quickly and killed one of the shooters. He said he believed that one Fort Hood civilian police officer was among the dead. Fort Hood has contract and military police, he said.

"This is a terrible tragedy," Cone said.

ABC News identified the dead assailant as Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan of Virginia.

Anyone else think it's wrong that she now talks about what occurred only when she needs to sell a record. I personally think it's awful and very low of her.

As published by TMZ "Reese Witherspoon is more than happy to become the key witness in a case involving a vicious fight between two members of the paparazzi. The whole thing started in Brentwoodearlier today, when two pappers -- not ours -- were trying to get a shot of Reese after she finished exercising. Each wanted to get "the shot" and they began fighting. We're told it was intense. The LAPD was called to the scene. Cops took a report and are investigating. Law enforcement sources tell us Reese contacted the LAPD and identified herself as an eyewitness, saying the fight was brutal ... telling cops she would be "happy to cooperate" with any investigation or prosecution"

Heidi Klum won't be walking the runway at the Victoria's Secret fashion show this year, but she'll still be working the crowd. The supermodel, who gave birth just three weeks ago, will be hosting the entire event, a source tells E! News.

I hate to say it but Project Runway season six is outdated, and it shows in the ratings. The August 20th premiere was the shows highest rated. Prompting Lifetime (the show's new network, after a lengthy court battle) to claim it was the most watched edition. That episode had a record breaking 4.2 Million viewers. Since then it's been a slippery slope. The shows ratings have fallen nearly a third, and there only ten episodes in. By now ratings should be picking up because the designers are closer to Bryant Park.

The problem: this season is over a year old, and it shows. It's given viewers a deja vu, haven't I seen this vibe. The viewers are confused. For example take host Heidi Klum whose in perfect shape on screen, got pregnant interim and gave birth last October. How about Celebrity guest Rebecca Romijn who had her twins in December 2008, but was very pregnant on screen.

Then there is the move to LA, which has proved to be a HUGE mistake. The LA move meant less Michael Kors & Nina Garcia (who are both based in NYC). If the ratings don't pick up however don't fear. Season 7 will hopefully feel a little more updated to us, plus it's back in New York.

This week's song is Amerie's "Why R U" in honor of the R&B's singers new release "In Love & War" which I believe is out this week. As always look for the PINK playlist and  Grab a listen.
