Last
night’s episode of the popular Fox comedy “Glee” featured two couples –
the heterosexual Finn and Rachel and the homosexual Kurt and Blaine –
losing their virginity. The episode sparked controversy even before it
hit the air. EW’s PopWatch described the episode, titled “The First
Time,” as “incredibly moving” and said the sex scenes were “handled very
delicately.” But television watchdog group the Parents Television
Council is outraged by the controversial storyline and what it says is a
“celebration” of teen sex. “The fact that ‘Glee’ intends to not only
broadcast, but celebrate children having sex is reprehensible. The
gender of the high school characters involved is irrelevant. Teen sex is
now more prevalent on TV than adult sex and ‘Glee’ is only playing into
that trend,” PTC President Tim said.

Young TV Actor Charged In Burglary Effort
Actor
Kesun Mitchell Loder, whose television credits include “CSI” and “ER,”
faces a court hearing in Wilmington, North Carolina, on charges he
attempted a burglary at a mobile phone store. The 18-year-old was
arrested on charges of attempted breaking and entering, possession of
burglary tools and carrying a concealed weapon. Loder’s acting stage
name is K’Sun Ray. A court hearing is scheduled next week. Police say
Loder was arrested last month after cutting an alarm system cable and
trying to enter a mobile phone store through a side door. Employees
confronted Loder and he ran away, but was caught by a police officer.
Court Won’t Hear ‘Ghost Hunters’ Appeal
The
Supreme Court won’t hear an appeal from some television networks being
sued by a paranormal investigator who claims his idea was stolen and
turned into the show “Ghost Hunters.” Without comment, the court turned
away an appeal from NBC Universal, Inc., Universal Television Networks
and Pilgrim Films & Television, Inc. Parapsychologist Larry Montz
and producer Daena Smoller unsuccessfully shopped around an idea for a
show about paranormal investigators in 1981. “Ghost Hunters” appeared on
the Sci Fi Channel - now known as SyFy in 2004. Montz and Smoller sued
in federal court. The courts threw out their copyright claims, but the
9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed that they could sue for breach
of an implied contract and breach of confidence claims.
Another Dugger On The Way
Word
that the population just hit 7 billion isn’t slowing down one family.
The TLC reality show “19 Kids and Counting” may soon need a new name.
Arkansas couple Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar appeared with their clan on
NBC’s “Today” show yesterday and announced they are expecting their 20th
child in April. Forty-five-year-old Michelle Duggar said she’s in good
physical shape and that she’s not worried, despite complications during
her last pregnancy that led to the premature birth of their youngest
child two years ago. She says she’s made it through her first trimester
safely. The couple doesn’t use birth control. Michelle says she didn’t
necessarily expect to get pregnant again and that she and her husband
are excited to welcome the new addition to the family.

Ethan Zohn Finishes NYC Marathon
The
recent news that Ethan Zohn’s cancer had returned “completely filled
[him] with fear and anger and anxiety,” the “Survivor” champ said. But
instead of running scared, he ran a marathon. Ethan finished the New
York City Marathon yesterday with an unofficial time of 4:20:46, just
minutes after last year’s time of 4:16. “Cancer’s not going to slow me
down,” the reality star says, “and it’s not going to slow anyone else
down. I’m going to continue to charge forward and do the things that I
love.” Ethan didn’t race alone. He captained a team of 70 runners and
fundraisers – including some of his costars from this season of “The
Amazing Race” – for his Grassroots Soccer charity, which combats the
AIDS epidemic in Africa. Ethan also had an “incredible support network”
cheering him along the arduous 26.2-mile course, including family and
friends as well as girlfriend and fellow “Survivor” winner Jenna
Morasca. While most marathoners will be resting this week after the
grueling race, Ethan’s got another round of chemo scheduled for
tomorrow.

Angeles County Sherriff’s Department. After his Season 3 audition
performance in 2004 of Ricky Martin’s “She Bangs,” William Hung became a

training facility. Before auditioning for “Idol,” Hung was a student at
UC Berkeley, studying civil engineering.

Kim
Kardashian and Kris Humphries are meeting face-to-face for the first
time since Kim announced she was filing for divorce. Kardashian flew out
to Minnesota to visit Humphries and was spotted outside of his house
talking on the phone. Humphries has been keeping a low profile, staying

at around $2 million.

affair. The series chronicled the life of Dr. Jennifer Arnold and
husband Bill Klein, who both suffer from a bone-growth disorder that
causes dwarfism called skeletal dysplasia. The finale began with them
