Make no mistake, Kate Gosselin wouldn't mind being back on TV. The reality star made that clear this morning on “Today."

Kate, whose TLC show “Kate Plus 8” ends tonight, assured Matt Lauer, "I'm sure you will see my kids again at some point.”

"If the right thing came along, I think we're still in [agreement] with it," the mom of eight said of going back on the air with her brood.

Today's news you might've missed:

• We're going to guess that Kevin Hart is having a hearty laugh after his limited release film "Laugh at My Pain" opened this weekend - a hearty laugh all the way to the bank. The stand-up comedy special, with a budget of $750,000, did a rare feat for a comedy special by pulling in $2 million over the weekend after being released in 99 theaters. That's about $20,000 per theater. [L.A. Times]
• Everyone: Maybe Madonna doesn't loathe hydrangeas as much as she said she did. We wager that you can even buy them for her now. Maybe toss their petals onto the red carpet of her next premiere. If you want to watch her stomp all over them in disgust, that is. [Madonna/YouTube]

• Forget those dainty butterfly neck tattoos, or even those symbolic tramp stamps er, lower back decorations - Snooki has gone for the guns with a new tattoo, getting a sizeable gold crown atop a pink bow inked on her bicep. [Celebuzz]
• George Clooney apparently doesn't mind being taken to the mat: His new girlfriend, Stacy Keibler, is a former pro wrestler. [People]
• Lest Charlie Sheen steal all the shine with the preview of his Comedy Central roast, "Two and a Half Men" has released a new theme song, complete with Ashton Kutcher's vocal stylings. [E!]

Salma Hayek's husband François-Henri Pinault has spoken out regarding the financial dispute over his child with supermodel Linda Evangelista, reports People.

If you haven’t heard, Evangelista would like $46,000 a month in support for her 4-year-old son with Pinault. The French businessman also has a 3-year-old daughter with Salma Hayek.

Evangelista’s lawyer claims that Pinault has been "paying zero" toward raising little Augustin James.

Comedy Central’s much-hyped “Roast of Charlie Sheen” was bound to get nasty, what with the actor's wild warlock hijinks of the past year as joke fodder.

The show was taped Saturday, but the full special won't air until next Monday. Luckily, outlets like Entertainment Weekly and The Los Angeles Times were there to cover the event. And so we present to you some of the top takedowns of the evening. Well, the more tame takedowns, anyway. We can’t repeat many of the insults from the show, but trust us, they’re bad.

Host Seth MacFarlane had more than a few zingers up his sleeve.

It's 9 days and counting until "The X Factor" bows on this side of the Atlantic, and Fox has released an eight minute long promo so you don't forget that.

Over the swell of dramatic music, creator and judge Simon Cowell tells us that he "walked away from the No. 1 show in America to start a new show," and that the whole competition "is a gamble." (You don't say.)

Judge Nicole Scherzinger (aka she who replaced Cheryl Cole) interjects to add that she "actually started on a show like this over a decade ago. I went through the entire audition process...I live it and I still live it." The rest of the judges panel is unveiled in much the same way:

The box office results and the bulk of your awesome Twitter reviews match up this week: Steven Soderbergh's "Contagion" was the No. 1 movie in the country over the weekend (although Entertainment Weekly notes that's not a huge compliment, since it was also the lowest-grossing weekend of the year).

While "Warrior," an action/drama starring Tom Hardy centered around a feuding family in the world of mixed martial arts, had fair reviews, it seems not as many of you went to see it.

@MeganWrites1 did, and she seemed to agree with many of the critics: "Good movie! It was easy to relate to the characters. I would give it 4.5 out of 5 stars." Time commends the film for having three "compelling" principal characters, but acknowledges that the film isn't without its flaws. The Chicago Tribune also finds the film heavy-handed and at times manipulative, but says the film's "punches" do land.

Moving on to "Contagion": Survey says a lot of you have a renewed interest and investment in washing your hands.

It's been quite a season for Larry David: getting divorced (and I gotta admit, I really miss Cheryl Hines); relocating to New York; getting into multiple fights with – and then saving the life of – Ricky Gervais; and infuriating Susie on a regular basis (some things never change).

Monday night's season finale saw him shushing his upstairs neighbor, Michael J. Fox, in a restaurant, after which he mistook (or did he?) a Parkinson's shake for Michael looking upset about being shushed.

Next thing you know, Larry was getting shaken up bottles of cola from Michael, and hearing stomping upstairs. Larry believed that Michael was messing with him, but Michael insisted it was Parkinson's.

Hard as it may be to believe, Ryan Gosling says fans approaching him are usually after another famous Ryan.

“I do get a lot of disappointed, 'You're not Ryan Reynolds’ [reactions]," the actor tells CNN.

Of course, the star of the ultimate chick flick (“The Notebook”) gets plenty of female attention on the streets, but Gosling swears it’s not meant for him.

The Primetime Emmy Awards will air on September 18, but for now we're focusing on the Creative Arts Primetime Emmys, which were handed out over the weekend in L.A.

HBO's "Boardwalk Empire" walked away from the ceremony with seven awards, including Emmys for outstanding casting, outstanding makeup for a single camera series (non prosthetic) and outstanding art direction for a single camera series.  (HBO is owned by CNN's parent company.)

Gwyneth Paltrow's frequent stops by "Glee" weren't in vain, either: The "Contagion" actress picked up an outstanding guest actress in a comedy series Emmy for her portrayal of substitute teacher Holly Holliday. "Glee" also won the award for outstanding casting for a comedy series.

After focusing so much on pulling the threads of the figurative (chemistry teacher) sweater to reveal what was underneath, the past few weeks on "Breaking Bad" have been violent.

That’s not to say last night was light on the storytelling. For one, we finally found out the cartel’s question: Will you give us your meth recipe? Before deciding to give them the math behind the meth, though, Gus made a grand spectacle in the middle of a firefight to prove he was no folding coward.

With the reckless abandon of season 1-era Walter White, Gus walked straight into the cartel’s sniper fire. In the face of such badassery, the gunman flashed a respectful smirk and disengaged, natch. Though Gus was unscathed physically, his pride surely took a hit when he decided it was time to share that secret Pollos Hermanos recipe.
