Lou Dobbs left CNN with very little notice and no plan for where he'd end up next. One idea that he is currently throwing around is running for the New Jersey Senate

Since he no longer has a job, Dobbs spent some time over at Fox News today speaking with Bill O'Reilly. When O'Reilly asked him whether he was considering a Senate run, Dobbs replied:

"A lot of things are on my mind. I'm not going to be coy about this."

Listing off his future possible moves - TV, radio and "run for office", Dobbs just nodded his head.

Dobbs continues to do his three-hour weekday radio show, and told O'Reilly that he will continue to be engaged in the issues he has championed over the years:

"These issues that matter so much to me, many of the same that matter to you, are not ... changing. What is immutable here is, I'm going to remain in the public arena.”

A British scientist has come forth to reveal that she is Belle de Jour, the anonymous blogger whose stories of life as a call girl were turned into the television series "Secret Diary of a Call Girl." The woman's identity had been a well-kept secret for many years. On Sunday, however, Dr. Brooke Magnanti revealed the truth about herself because she was afraid that an ex-boyfriend would expose her.

Magnanti, 34, is a specialist in developmental neurotoxicology and cancer epidemiology in a hospital research group at the University of Bristol in western England. She turned to the sex trade in 2003 while finishing up her Ph.D. when she ran out of money.

Magnanti told the Sunday Times of London that when she could no longer pay the rent, she asked herself:

"What can I do that I can start doing straightaway, that doesn't require a great deal of training or investment to get started, that's cash in hand and that leaves me spare time to do my work in?"

She revealed that she worked as a $450 per hour call girl for an escort agency for more than a year, and decided to keep an online diary. This online diary forms the basis of three books and the TV series starring actress Billie Piper, which airs in the UK and on Showtime in the US.

The battle between Jon Gosselin and TLC continues to worsen. Jon has now officially filed a $5 million lawsuit against the television network, claiming that TLC damaged his reputation and career.

He is upset that TLC would not let him host parties or make public appearances for fees, and claims that TLC contacted various outlets and persuaded them not to hire him for anything.

Gosselin's attorney, Mark Heller, says:

"Their behavior has caused Jon great anguish and it has caused him financial losses. They had a cadre of lawyers so they had a one-sided agreement."

Jon Gosselin also claims that TLC still owes him $175,000 for shows that have already aired. He is supposed to get $22,500 for each half hour episode and $40,000 for each one-hour special. He says the network stopped paying.

Jon is due in court on December 14 for TLC's lawsuit against him.

CNN's longest-running anchor on air - Lou Dobbs - is leaving the network effective immediately. The host of "Lou Dobbs Tonight" said Wednesday on his show that it would be his last, and that CNN allowed him to be released from his contract.

Dobbs said that this would enable him "to pursue new opportunities", and that he was considering a number of options.

Dobbs staff members were as taken aback by the decision as his viewers. He only told his staff of his intentions during a meeting Wednesday afternoon.

Unnamed employees at CNN have said that they did not know if Dobbs was moving to another network.

It will be the multiple baby show to trump all others. Jon Gosselin of the infamous TLC show "Jon & Kate Plus 8" and Nadya Suleman, the California mom who made headlines in January when she gave birth to octuplets, will be dating in a new reality TV series.

Former "Cheaters" producer Bobby Goldstein told In Touch Weekly:

"I heard that Nadya has an insatiable desire to spend time with Jon and to put their families together. And I had the idea that this could be a very entertaining fiasco."

Reps for both Gosselin and Suleman deny that show is in the works, but then again, neither has any history of being completely truthful. Goldstein says that he is producing the pilot, which will be called "Jon - Kate = John + Octomom". A former producer of "The Jerry Spring Show" will also help with the pilot.

According to a press release, cameras will follow Jon "as he contemplates what hooking up with Octomom could really be like. He's totally creeped out by the idea that if they got married, they'd have 22 kids."

But it gets better.

The plotline for Suleman, 33, reveals that she will be so obsessed with Jon and that "she's already talking openly about the two of them getting married."

The release continues:

The Jon and Kate drama never ends! According to attorney Mark Heller, Jon Gosselin has returned the money to his joint bank account with his soon to be ex-wife Kate. This means he will likely avoid facing contempt proceedings when they return to court.

Steve Phillips, the former general manager of the New York Mets who admitted to having sex with a team employee and was sued for sexual harrassment, apparently has not learned his lesson. Now an analyst for ESPN, Phillips is embroiled in yet another sex scandal after admitting to having an affair with an assistant who stalked his wife.

When Phillips dumped 22-year-old production assistant Brooke Hundley, she reportedly made repeated phone calls to his wife, Marni, saying things like "We both can't have him." She is also said to have written his wife a graphic letter describing their relationship.

In a statement to police, Phillips said:

“I have extreme concerns about the health and safety of my kids and myself."

Phillips said that the affair with Hundley occured this past summer, and that he told his wife and police about it. Marni is also reported to have told police that she received "harrassing phone calls and text messages" from a woman claiming to have information about her husband.

Phillips is being sued for divorce by his wife. The couple have four sons together.

Josh Krulewitz, a spokesman for ESPN said:

Comcast Corp. will be the first cable TV operator in the US to unlock online access to a great lineup of valuable cable shows and movies, in an attempt to replicate what's available on television through video on demand. By the end of the year, subscribers will be able to watch popular shows such as AMC's "Mad Men" and HBO's "Entourage" online without paying extra through the "On Demand Online" service.

Other cable companies, including Time Warner Cable Inc., plan to follow in their footsteps.

Access to the online content will be very carefully guarded. At first, Comcast subscribers will only be able to watch the shows and movies on their home computers after being verified by the cable system. It will also be restricted to only those customers who also get their Internet service through Comcast, and not through a phone company or other competitor.

Realizing that this is quite a few hoops to jump through in order to watch content online, Comcast is also working on providing access over competing home broadband systems and well as on the go.

The cable networks themselves, such as HBO, will decide how much they will put online. Some may only put up the current season's episodes, while others could also include archives of past seasons.

The rumors are true. Despite denials from her camp on Monday, Bethenny Frankel confirmed on Tuesday that she is about two months along.

Speaking with People.com, Frankel said:

"It's premature to be telling people this. It's not like, ‘Did I Get Botox?' It's not the way I wanted it to get out," she told People. "I haven't even gone through my first trimester. We haven't even heard the heartbeat. My [fiance's]parents didn't even know."

Frankel says she was forced into revealing the news after a post on PerezHilton.com on Monday spilled the beans.

The reality TV star is currently engaged to Jason Hoppy. She said that they are both "so excited" about the baby and are pretty surprised that they were able to conceive so quickly given their ages:

"I got to be honest, we are both feeling kind of proud of ourselves," she said. "We are both 38 and we were like, ‘Listen, your fish can swim and I am fertile.' So that's exciting."

The couple plans to wed before the baby is born.

Frankel recently announced her own spin-off show which will air on Bravo entitled "Skinny & the City". It will follow her and Hoppy as they plan their wedding. The PerezHilton.com source said:

Tell us something we didn't know. Rather than make peace with the conservative-minded network, Barack Obama's White House advisors declined to end their feud with Fox News, and instead decided to fuel the fire on the Sunday talk show circuit.

White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel told rival cable TV news channel CNN's "State of the Union" that Obama considers Fox News "not a news organization so much as it has a perspective." Compared with other news outlets, "that's a different take", Emanuel added.

Another Obama political advisor, David Axelrod, hit up ABC where he told "This Week" that Fox News "is really not news. It's pushing a point of view."

Last week, White House communications director Anita Dunn claimed:

"Fox News often operates almost as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party."

Fox News, of course, reacted quite strongly to the White House accusations.

Fox News Senior Vice President Michael Clemente said in a statement:

"Surprisingly, the White House continues to declare war on a news organization instead of focusing on the critical issues that Americans are concerned about like jobs, health care and two wars."
