Gabourey Sidibe, star of Oscar buzz film Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire, is reportedly talking to Showtime about a guest starring spot in The C Word, the cable network’s in-the-works cancer comedy, according to Variety. She’d play a teen whom Laura Linney’s terminally ill character tries to help to lose weight. Sidebe’s rep told EW nothing is yet confirmed. Showtime did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.

TLC will air a one-hour special with Kate Gosselin, Kate: Her Story, on Nov. 2 at 9pm ET. Natalie Morales, correspondent for NBC’s Today show, will interview Gosselin in the special, produced by NBC’s Peacock Productions. EW has learned that the interview will be shot tomorrow (Oct. 28) so further information on its content isn’t yet known. Also, TLC has confirmed that the November schedule for Jon & Kate Plus Eight will include a one-hour “Top Moments” on Nov. 9, “Gymnastics and Baseball,” followed by “Never Before Seen” on Nov. 16, and a one-hour episode on Nov. 23 entitled “It’s a Crazy Life, But it’s Our Life.” The latter is the last episode TLC has finished filming, the network confirmed today that shooting remains “suspended.”

A former writer at NBC’s Late Night with David Letterman has written an article in Vanity Fair that dishes about the “hostile, sexually charged atmosphere” at the show. The article, written by longtime Vanity Fair contributor Nell Scovell, contains a broad discussion of late-night talk shows and argues that they need to diversify their writers’ rooms to include more women. Scovell’s piece also describes Letterman’s show as having a boy’s club atmosphere created by the host and his staff, and discusses her tenure on the show.

A rep for Worldwide Pants, Letterman’s production company, had no comment at this time.

“Without naming names or digging up decades-old dirt, let’s address the pertinent questions,” Scovell wrote in the article. “Did Dave hit on me? No. Did he pay me enough extra attention that was noted by another writer? Yes. Was I aware of rumors that Dave was having sexual relationships with female staffers? Yes.”
