John Gosselin

John and Kate plus 8 brought TLC tons of viewers; and on the premiere of their last season, the most viewers TLC has had on any of their shows. However, the once chaotic, happy family has been in the media for the past several months for their downfall. Most people have taken sides and are now siding with Kate after many allegations against John and his recent behavior.

John Gosselin has been seen with younger girls, and out partying when his wife is at home with their 8 young kids. He has made such a bad image of himself through his actions. Rather than be low key during the divorce, he has done quite the opposite. I think that he needs to step up and take responsibility for his actions and where his life is headed.

A new route for Oprah

A few weeks ago Oprah announced that after twenty years of having a talk show, this upcoming season would be her last. I think that Oprah handled this very well and at the appropriate time. She is on top of her game, with a talk show, magazine, and much more.

It was also announced that Oprah will be moving to HBO and have her own channel. I think it was good of her to not bring this up nor deny any questions about it. Overall Oprah will be successful no matter what she does or where she does it; whether it be having her own talk show, or being part of HBO.

Tiger Woods Scandal

By now everyone has heard some version of the Tiger Woods scandal. In class we spoke about how this event was similar to when the Cowboy's had their few member fight in the locker room. In both situations, the parties waited too long to respond to the media, therefore incriminating themselves.

Regardless Tiger Woods will have lots of press. However, in my opinion if this situation had been handled better there would not be as much, or as negative.
