The two men were arrested on Nov. 11 after an alleged incident in which both individuals claimed they’d been hit by the other.

[HMG] – In news that should make you wish someone would drop a large, sparkly New Year’s ball directly on her, word is arriving that Kate Gosselin has a new dating show in the works.

Born, Katie Irene Kreider on March 28, 1975, the newly single Ms. Gosselin [or should that now be Kreider?]  is deep in discussions with a [so far un-named] network to star in a reality show, designed to find someone dumb enough to stand in for Jon.

“Love her or hate her, people are fascinated by Kate!” a clueless TV exec has told Popeater. “She has a lot of mouths to feed and Katie looking for love will certainly put bread on the table,” he oozed.

But before you climb out on that ledge in relentless despair, we have good news – This slack-brained decision to inflict more of Ms. Gosselin and that ‘Rooster’s butt’ hairdo on an innocent world is not final yet;

“It’s still in the development stage,” says a clued-in insider.

…And if there’s one grain of humanity left in this world, that’s right where this freak-show will stay.

But in case a network is dumb enough to make this show real, they’ll need some titles. How about, ‘Multiple Mommy + Dim-witted Dad,’ or ‘The Broody Bunch,’ or maybe ‘Kate + An IQ of 8′…Or, as it’s Kate, they could do it at sea and call it ‘The Love Goat.’

Let’s hear your suggestions – it might help ease the pain…

[HMG] – After months of pre-casting, the role that left the British acting fraternity almost limp with desire has found its true home – creative chameleon, James McAvoy has been tapped to play James Bond mastermind, Ian Fleming.

“McAvoy is well suited for the role,” Dustin Rowles of film-review site, Pajiba told the UK’s Telegraph, “He can do playboy, period drama and war movies – and he can do action. Plus, he has a dry sense of humor – which fits not just Fleming but Bond.”

James’ range can be seen in the fact that this 30-year old Scottish actor will play Fleming, an intellectual Englishman, right after completing a movie about the classic Russian author, Anton Chekov [think Monty Python's 'The Cherry Orchard' sketch].

Now that, folks, is talent.

The new movie, for which there’s no start date as yet, will be based on Andrew Lycett’s 1996 book, ‘Ian Fleming: The Man Behind James Bond,’ and recount the life and works of this superb British author who left the world after a bout of pneumonia in 1964, aged just 56.

James Bond, Fleming’s iconic spy, took his bow in the author’s first novel, Casino Royale, published in England in 1953. A Naval Commander in the second world war,  Fleming told fans James was based on some ex-Naval colleagues – but always refused to give names.

US-based independent studio Palmstar Entertainment will be funding the flick – currently expected to cost $40-million.

And if you need further proof of Mr. McAvoy’s range, once he’s done with James Bond this versatile actor will tackle a subject far closer to home — the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

(HMG) – Conservative radio talk host Rush Limbaugh has been hospitalized in Hawaii after suffering chest pains. According to Hawaiian station KITV, paramedics responded to a call at the Kahala Hotel in Honolulu at 2:41 PM and transported Rush to Queens Medical Center. Limbaugh, 58, was sitting in a chair in his ninth-floor hotel room at the Kahala when emergency crews arrived, and told medical crews that he was taking medication for a back problem, the station said.  Limbaugh underwent treatment in 2003 for an addiction to prescription painkillers, including Lorcet, Norco and hydrocodone, that he said he got hooked on after spinal surgery left him in constant pain. A statement posted on Limbaugh’s website said he was now “resting comfortably.”  Limbaugh, seen by some as as the unofficial voice of the US Republican party, is broadcast on some 600 radio stations across the country and heard by more than 14 million people every week.

Arnold Mordkin, the chief deputy district attorney in Pitkin County, CO, tells ET he has taken steps to file paperwork opposing Charlie Sheen and wife Brooke Mueller’s wish to have a Colorado court dismiss the protection order provided to Mueller.

Mordkin tells us his office typically opposes lifting a protection order in cases of alleged domestic violence. He says in this instance, he’s opposed to lifting sections of the order that prohibit Sheen from possessing a weapon, drinking alcohol or using drugs.

A court hearing regarding the motion is set for Monday morning.
