YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio -- "Modern Family" star Ed O'Neill tells his hometown newspaper that he's getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
O'Neill tells the Youngstown, Ohio, newspaper The Vindicator that he'll be honored Aug. 30. Induction speeches will be given by Sofia Vergara, who plays his wife on the ABC hit, and Katey Sagal, who played his wife on Fox's "Married With Children" in the 1980s and '90s.
A Walk of Fame spokeswoman would not confirm O'Neill's selection.
The 65-year-old O'Neill says he almost turned down the star. He says, "It's bizarre -- names on a sidewalk. People can spit on it," but his 11-year-old daughter persuaded him to accept.
He says that, after the initial shock, he realizes the honor is "something to be proud of."
NEW YORK -- TLC says it is canceling "Kate Plus 8."
The reality specials focusing on Kate Gosselin, her twin daughters and set of sextuplets morphed into a weekly series in its second season. But TLC announced this week that its final episode will air Sept. 12.
The show was spun off from the wildly popular "Jon & Kate Plus 8," which co-starred the youngsters' father, Jon Gosselin, at their home in Wernersville, Pa. Their marriage dissolved, and the couple divorced in 2009.
By the end of its run, including "Jon & Kate Plus 8," the series will reach the 150-episode mark. TLC says it hopes to check in with Kate Gosselin and the family periodically with future specials.
