It seems the drama (including revelations that he transferred her boyfriend to another show in order to more easily pursue her) hasn't hurt his budding relationship with McNearney. Days after the announcement, she was spotted leaving his Hollywood Hills home after a sleepover.

Is Jon Gosselin leaving an already sinking ship? The same week TLC announced his reduced role on the show (and his cut from the title), Jon & Kate Plus 8 took another dip in the ratings. RadarOnline.com has learned that Monday's show pulled in a mere 1.3 million viewers- a fall from last week's already low of 1.7 million.

A whopping 10.6 million viewers tuned in on this season's June 22 premiere when the Gosselins announced their separation. But since August 3, the
reality show has lost more than sixty percent of its viewers.
Kate won't slow the divorce
On Tuesday, the TLC president Eileen O'Neill released a statement regarding Jon's future limited involvement and the name change to "Kate Plus 8" saying: "Given the recent changes in the family dynamics, it only makes sense for us to refresh and recalibrate the program to keep pace with the family. The family has evolved and we are attempting to evolve with it; we feel that Kate's journey really resonates with our viewers."

Off-camera parental bickering, calls to the police, and an outspoken girlfriend have not helped Jon & Kate Plus 8 rebound in the ratings. Monday night’s episode of the TLC series was watched by 3 million viewers; down from 3.4 million the week before.
Although undeniably strong for a cable show – it was # 2 among all ad-supported cable shows at that hour -- the erosion must be cause for same alarm at the net.
The numbers come on the heels of an explosive new interview Jon Gosselin’s girlfriend Hailey Glassman gave to E! in which she claimed TLC executives knew Jon and Kate’s marriage was essentially over a year ago.
Hailey has taken to calling TLC “the lying channel.” Ouch!

Letterman Close To Signing New 3-Year Deal
Posted on Jun 09, 2009 @ 07:19AM - Add a comment
David Letterman is near a deal to continue reading Top 10 lists on CBS for another three years. The network is about to re-sign the Emmy-winning talk-show host to continue hosting Late Show until 2011-12, sources said. The agreement will represent a two-year extension on his current contract, which expires in 2010.
The decision to lock Letterman in for a longer period comes as rival NBC makes dramatic changes to its late-night lineup, moving Jay Leno to 10 p.m. in the fall and the naming of Conan O'Brien as the new host of the legendary Tonight Show. During his first week on Tonight, O'Brien beat Letterman in the ratings, though the gap between the shows shrunk as the week progressed.
