Kate Gosselin says in divorce papers that she and her husband, Jon, have lived "separate and apart" for at least two years, the Associated Press reports.

Gosselin filed for divorce Monday in Montgomery County Court in Pennsylvania, saying in papers that her 10-year marriage is "irretrievably broken."

The star of TLC's "Jon & Kate Plus 8" also says they have been unable to agree on dividing their assets.

The Gosselins had portrayed themselves as happy until the past few months, even renewing their wedding vows in Hawaii last year.

The series follows the couple as they raise their eight young children, including 8-year-old twins and sextuplets who just turned 5.

Viewers itching to tune in next week for the sad aftermath of the Gosselins' divorce announcement will have to wait a bit. TLC has halted production of the series in the wake of the turmoil within the family, the Los Angeles Times reports.

At this point, the network doesn't even have enough footage for one more episode of "Jon & Kate Plus 8," so next Monday fans will be treated to a clips package instead. The next new episode, which will be the seventh in a planned 40-episode run, won't hit airwaves until Aug. 3.

The break was initiated by the network, not the family.

Kate pondered in Monday's episode whether the show played a part in their split, but she thinks it would have happened either way. "I believe it's a chapter that would have played out had the world been watching or not," she said.

Now, on to happy multiples -- at least for now.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick flew to Ohio to meet their twin girls, who were born via surrogate yesterday at 3:58 p.m. in East Ohio Regional Hospital.

"Marion Loretta Elwell Broderick weighed 5 pounds, 11 ounces, and Tabitha Hodge Broderick weighed 6 pounds. Both Hodge and Elwell are family names on Parker's side. The babies are doing beautifully and the entire family is over the moon," their rep says.

The couple also have a 6-year-old son, James Wilkie Broderick.

The author of a health book has sued Elisabeth Hasselbeck, accusing the co-host of ABC's "The View" of plagiarism.

The lawsuit, filed Monday in federal court in Massachusetts, alleges that Hasselbeck lifted "word for word" content from a book written by Susan Hassett, a self-published author on Cape Cod.

Hasselbeck's book, "The G-Free Diet: A Gluten-Free Survival Guide," has appeared in the past month on several best-seller lists.

Hassett said in the lawsuit that she sent Hasselbeck a personal note and copy of her "Living With Celiac Disease" book as a courtesy after the television celebrity disclosed she had the illness last year.

Celiac disease is a digestive disorder associated with people who cannot digest gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye and barley.

Hassett said Hasselbeck's book "slavishly reproduces" lists and passages from her own work and includes inaccuracies about celiac disease that can be "misleading and dangerous" for people with the illness.

A lawyer for Hassett declined to comment yesterday. A phone message left for Hasselbeck's agent was not immediately returned.

The lawsuit seeks to block the sale of Hasselbeck's book and asks that copies of it be withdrawn from distributors and stores.

A New York City prosecutor says the Oscar-winning songwriter and director behind "You Light Up My Life" has been charged with rape and sexual assault.

Police said previously that several women accused Joseph Brooks of luring them to his home and sexually assaulting them while they auditioned for movie roles.

Yesterday, he was arrested, indicted and accused of raping and sexually assaulting 11 women. His assistant, Shawni Lucier, is accused of facilitating nine of the assaults.

Brooks, 71, faces multiple charges of rape, criminal sexual act, sexual abuse, forcible touching, assault, grand larceny and criminal mischief.

The alleged crimes in the 91-count indictment happened between March 2005 and April 2008. Brooks is accused of sexually assaulting women, ages 18 to 30, in his New York apartment.

Brooks won the Oscar for Best Original Song for the 1977 ballad "You Light Up My Life." He also wrote and directed the film of the same name. The romantic comedy is about a comedian who has a one-night stand with a director.

Brooks' attorney, Jeff Hoffman, did not immediately return a call requesting comment.

Actress Daryl Hannah, NASA scientist James Hansen and more than two dozen other mountaintop removal mining opponents have been arrested during a protest in southern West Virginia.

State police said about 30 people were charged yesterday afternoon after they blocked State Route 3 near a Massey Energy subsidiary's coal processing plant in Raleigh County, the Associated Press reports.

They were among several hundred protesters who held a rally outside an elementary school that sits about 300 feet away from the plant's coal storage silo.

After the rally, the crowd marched quietly to the plant and attempted to enter the property. They were blocked by several hundred coal miners chanting "Massey."

Hannah, Hansen, former Rep. Ken Hechler and 27 others then sat on the road and were arrested on misdemeanor charges of obstruction and impeding traffic.
