Recently, Jon Gosselin raised eyebrows by requesting $12,000 to guest host a Florida radio show. And on Oct. 17, Heidi Montag supposedly refused to attend big sis Holly's birthday bash in L.A. without receiving pay. With so many cross-over opportunities available for reality television stars, it makes sense that they may charge for their time, but how much is too much?

On Monday Stephen Colbert announced his show 'The Colbert Report' has become the primary sponsor of the U.S. Speedskating team. "On their enormous, billboard thighs, it will say, 'Colbert Nation.'

David Letterman can be a prickly pear sometimes. Make that most of the time. And what pisses Dave off is when a guest for his TV show doesn't show up. But what makes him even more ornery is when the guest scheduled for his show winds up being interviewed somewhere else. Ladies and gentlemen, the runner up for POTUS (President of the United States) ... John McCain, a.k.a. The Man Who Wasn't There.
