The E! show The Soup revealed a promo for a new show coming up on TLC, a.k.a the Trainwreck Lives Channel, that combines all your favorite elements from their other popular shows. Take a look:

I had so much fun live blogging the Jon & Kate Season 4 finale that I thought I would do it again and add my commentary to the much anticipated Season 5 premiere when JON AND KATE FACE EACH OTHER FOR THE FIRST TIME! Dun-dun-DUNNNN! Although I have a feeling Kate has had a teensy chat with Jon about his latest antics before tonight’s episode was filmed.

7:59: OK, on the couch, remote in hand, glass of wine by my side (beer seemed inappropriate for a guy settling in to watch Jon and Kate)

8:01: Turning Five AND THE FUTURE…

8:02: Didn’t sign up for the public scrutiny, Jon? What did you expect being on TV?

8:03: Uh, oh, Kate’s mad…

8:04: Is it just me, or does Jon seem like he’s had a drink or two?

8:05: I’ve got a solution — don’t be on TV and don’t go on national book tours.

8:06: Kate: “I have a lot of anger.” And you wouldn’t like Kate when she’s angry.

8:07: The new set is certainly an, uh, improvement — it looks so, uh, different.

8:12: Year long planning for a birthday party? That’s about 51.5 weeks longer than we spend.

8:14: Sorry, hard to feel sorry for Kate having to deal with Jon’s weekend off since presumably she has the same off camera help that he has.

8:15: Looks like the kids have developed the same vocabulary my 6-year-old has (who is currently chanting “pooper weiner” as I type)

Maybe my little April Fool’s prank wasn’t so far off after all — looks like Jon Gosselin of Jon & Kate Plus 8 fame has been caught by US Weekly photographers in the company of another woman leaving a local bar at 2 a.m. One witness told the gossip rag that Jon “could barely walk,” although he seems far from being incapacitated in the pic. You would think Jon might be more careful about being in such predicaments nowadays, since just a few months ago the internets was buzzing when Gosselin appeared in a photo with two young college girls.

UPDATE: Now that the “holiday” has passed, it’s probably only fair to warn wayward Googlers that the below was made up as an April Fools prank, and we are not aware of any trouble with Jon & Kate Gosselin’s marriage.

Jon Gosselin, who stars in reality TV show Jon & Kate Plus 8, has announced he has filed for divorce from his wife, Kate Gosselin. In a prepared statement, Jon said that Kate’s ever growing obsession with fame and fortune from the show, which documents their day-to-day lives raising 8 children, has taken a heavy toll on their marriage.

“We were shopping for a Natuzzi leather couch for the new set for Season 5, and when Kate freaked out when she found out that the style she liked only came in espresso brown and not bittersweet chocolate brown, that’s when it hit me — I’m not just over Jon & Kate the TV show, I’m over being Jon & Kate, period.”

The news comes as a surprise after a previous statement said that their marriage was fine, and gossip website TMZ caught them canoodling sans kids at the popular Beverly Hills restaurant, Mr. Chow.

As for the kids, Gosselin states that he will retain full custody of the children, which Kate fully supports. “She told me that Angelina and Madonna seem to get more attention by adopting children, so she wants to try that now, and since the tups are older and not as ‘camera friendly’ any more, she thought it best if I take them.”

Kate declined to comment, stating that she would only discuss it with Oprah or a paid, exclusive interview with People magazine, whichever comes first.

Continuing with the live blogging of the Jon & Kate season finale, second episode.

8:30: IT’S ALL BEEN BUILDING TO THIS! “This” being the season finale, which is technically true.

8:31: Oooh, thought they pulled the trigger early, should have known they only meant they would be getting a new set.

8:32: With obviously a nicer, more expensive chair.
