Posted: 22 May 2012 10:20 AM PDT

Kate Gosselin has made it no secret that she wants to return to TV, following the cancellation of her TLC series "Kate Plus 8." However, landing a new gig is proving to be much harder than she thought.

"Kate had no idea it would be this difficult to sell another show based around her and her family," one TV executive tells me. "It's hard to be on the cover of magazines one week and just a few months later not have people return your calls."

Huffington Post: Dan Savage Invites NOM's Brian Brown To Dinner For Bible Debate

Posted: 22 May 2012 10:21 AM PDT

It looks like Dan Savage is taking the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) President Brian Brown up on his offer for a Bible debate -- and the outspoken lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights advocate has picked an unusual setting.

"So, what I'd like to do is invite you to dinner," Savage reveals in a new podcast. "Bring the wife. My husband will be there. I will hire a video crew and we will video sort of an after dinner debate."

Savage, who infamously launched a campaign to redefine former GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum's last name into a neologism involving anal sex, then continued: "You have to acknowledge my humanity by accepting my hospitality, and I have to acknowledge yours by extending my hospitality to you."

Huffington Post: Craig Becker, Former Labor Board Member, Jumps To AFL-CIO

Posted: 22 May 2012 10:22 AM PDT

WASHINGTON -- The AFL-CIO announced Tuesday that Craig Becker, a former appointee to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), will be returning to the labor federation as co-general counsel, helping guide the AFL-CIO's legal strategies on behalf of unions and workers.

A significant pickup for the AFL-CIO, Becker frequently sided with unions in his time at the NLRB, the federal agency tasked with enforcing labor law for businesses and their workforces. In particular, Becker, as part of the left-leaning majority, put forth new workplace rules that infuriated business groups, and also issued case decisions considered friendly to unions.

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said in a statement that Becker would be leading a "powerhouse" legal team at the federation, working alongside current general counsel Lynn Rhinehart. "Craig Becker is a brilliant lawyer and creative thinker with deep experience in labor law, litigation and organizing; his combination of legal acumen and experience on the ground is simply unmatched," Trumka said.
