'Teen Wolf' update, Jamie Foxx, Seth Meyers highlight MTV development slate
It was only a matter of time before Teen Wolf got a make over. MTV announced today that the cable network will reinvent the 1985 Michael J. Fox classic for today's MTV audience, and that it will combine horror elements and werewolf mythology, and feature a sweeping romance at its center. Jeff Davis, creator and executive producer of Criminal Minds is writing the show, with Prison Break's Marty Adelstein and Medium's Rene Echevarria executive producing.
The network also announced the development of new sketch comedy show starring Jamie Foxx and a half-hour animated show called The Awesomes from Saturday Night Live's head writer Seth Meyers and SNL head honcho Lorne Michaels. The Awesomes follows an unassuming superhero and his cohorts as they battle evil villains, the paparazzi, and the reputation for being a group of bumbling losers.

'Jon & Kate Plus Eight' divorce episode posts record ratings
Monday night's massively hyped episode of Jon & Kate Plus Eight – in which the Gosselins announced their plans to divorce — attracted a whopping 10.6 million viewers, the largest audience ever for the TLC show. The special one-hour episode also achieved record ratings among women 18-49 (4.6 million) and persons 18-49 (6.5 million). It also exceeded the show's season debut on Memorial Day, which lured 9.8 million watchers. Jon & Kate is in its fifth season.
After a retrospective of the Gosselins' 10 years of marriage airs on June 29, the show will go on hiatus until Aug. 3 to give the family "some time off to regroup," says a TLC spokeswoman, who added that a "modified" schedule will be in place to support the family's transition. The cable network ordered a total of 40 episodes this season.
