Melissa Gilbert wound up in the hospital on Monday night after falling during a dance; she's since Twittered that she'll be all right.

CBS newsman Mike Wallace, the dogged, merciless reporter and interviewer who took on politicians, celebrities and other public figures in a 60-year career highlighted by the on-air confrontations that helped make "60 Minutes" the most successful primetime television news program ever, has died. He was 93.

NBC News has fired a producer who worked on a 'Today' show segment that featured a heavily edited 911 recording in which George Zimmerman appears to racially profile Trayvon Martin before the teen's shooting, according to The New York Times.

Current TV has fired back at Keith Olbermann by countersuing its former host and asking a judge to rule he is not entitled to any more money from the network.

Where in the world in Matt Lauer? Looks like he'll be at Rockefeller Plaza for quite a while. Although Lauer won't make the official announcement until tomorrow, NBC News confirms that the Today cohost has signed a long-term deal with the show. "Matt is the franchise, and our franchise player has decided to keep leading our team," Steve Capus, President of NBC News, told The New York Times.

Keith Olbermann is moving his grievances with his former bosses at Current TV from the airwaves to the courtroom, suing the network for more than $50 million and blasting it for what he claims were shoddy production values.

Nadya "Octomom" Suleman is on food stamps. "I made that call reluctantly," she said on the "Today" show Thursday. "I needed to remove my pride, it was fear. I was terrified and I received thousands and thousands of death threats."

The panel was clearly basking in the nostalgic glow of the '80s theme. Pretty much everyone got kudos, oversinging be darned.
