While TLC declined to comment, Brown and his wives, who collectively have 13 children and three step-children, released the following statement to EW: “We are disappointed in the announcement of an investigation, but when we decided to do this show, we knew there would be risks. But for the sake of our family, and most importantly, our kids, we felt it was a risk worth taking.”

Supreme Court deciding Anna Nicole Smith appeal
The Associated Press reports the Supreme Court will reconsider whether Anna Nicole Smith’s estate should inherit a portion of late Texas billionaire J. Howard Marshall’s fortune. They will decide whether or not to hold up an appeals court ruling that sided against Smith’s estate, deeming Marshall, Smith’s husband at the time of his death, was not mentally fit when he left the majority of his $1.6 billion fortune to the Playboy model. Smith’s estate had appealed the ruling, and Marshall’s estate plans on fighting the Supreme Court ruling, should they reverse the appeal.

Wyclef Jean hospitalized for stress and fatigue
Musician and activist Wyclef Jean has entered a New Jersey hospital to treat what is being described as stress and fatigue. “Wyclef Jean has had an extremely grueling three months — truly an exhausting eight months, since the earthquake when he recommitted himself to our homeland and his passion for our people,” his family said in a statement. “He is currently suffering the effects of lack of sleep and stress, global travel, even the endless public eye, and has asked that his fans and supporters bear with him for the next several days as he regains his physical health and stamina. Then he will be back out in front of the crusade to rebuild Haiti and his pledge to make it even better for business.” Jean, 40, had planned to mount a campaign for president of Haiti until election officials rejected his bid last month. Last week he officially withdrew from the race.

Bandleader Max Weinberg won't be following Conan O'Brien to TBS
Max Weinberg won’t be part of Conan O’Brien’s new late night talk show on TBS, the late night talk show host confirmed. Weinberg, also well-known for his drum work with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, served as the comedian’s bandleader on Late Night with Conan O’Brien show and The Tonight Show. In an interview with St. Louis’ Riverfront Times, musician Jimmy Vivino says that he’ll be leading the band on O’Brien’s new show, Conan, which launches on Nov. 8. Vivino played guitar and keyboards as a member of the Max Weinberg 7 on O’Brien’s shows. James Wormworth will replace Weinberg on drums.
UPDATE: Both Weinberg and Conan O’Brien have issued statements about the band leader’s departure, which they claim was “mutual.” “Max has been a huge part of my life for the past 17 years and he is an incredible band leader and musician. I hope he can find time to stop by the new show, sit in with the band, and pretend to find my monologue funny,” O’Brien said in a statement. Said Weinberg, “17 years — a lifetime on TV. Conan and I met on a New York City street corner in the Spring of 1993 and my association with Conan, his staff, and crew has been a deeply rewarding experience for me. And, making music with Jimmy Vivino, Mark Pender, La Bamba, Scott Healey, Mike Merritt, and percussionist James Wormsworth enabled me to become a better musician and bandleader. I thank them for their first-rate work on the bandstand. I wish Conan and his show the best and I do look forward to dropping by.”
