TLC Gives Kat Von D and ‘LA Ink’ Their Walking Papers

And another TLC show bites the dust. First, the network canceled Kate Plus 8. Now it has axed LA Ink, Kat Von D‘s reality show.

“TLC has decided that the current season of LA Ink will be its last. The network is proud of what the series accomplished in four seasons, following Kat Von D’s journey as an artist from Miami to Los Angeles,” TLC said in a statement.

Poor Kat Von D. She has had an awful few months. First, her house burned down last November, killing her pet cat. Then she called off her engagement to Jesse James right after she got a tattoo of his face on her body. And now, this news.

Here is sending some good vibes your way lady…

VIDEO: Kat Von D Gets Tattoo Of Jesse James – Right Before Breakup

OOPS! Talk about a case of bad timing and bad body art.

Kat Von D and Jesse James announced Monday that their engagement was off  – but today, we learn that the LA INK star had just gotten a tattoo of her ex’s face on her body, before the breakup. OUCH!

In this TLC promo video preview of the show’s season five opener scheduled for Thursday, we see a “freaked out” Von D surprising her ex-fiance with a tat designed especially for him….of him.

“I’m getting his face tattooed on me and he’s about to see it and I’m like, I have no idea how he’s gonna react,” she says in the video. “He walks in and he’s like. . .uh, am I supposed to be here, what’s going on, ya know.”

Too bad those things are kind of permanent – we don’t know if Kat is going to keep it or have it painfully removed.

Jesse James & Kat Von D Break Off Engagement

Jesse James quickly rebounded from his divorce from Sandra Bullock by getting engaged to Kat Von D but the LA Ink starlet announced via Twitter Monday that their engagement is now over.

“I am no longer [with] Jesse, and out of respect for him, his family and myself, that’s all the info I’d like to share. Thanks for respecting that.” 
Jesse who lives in Austin, TX,  confirmed the split from the LA-based Kat, telling People.com, “I’m so sad because I really love her. The distance between us was just too much.” 
At the time of their engagement announcement, Jesse had told People “Growing old with [Kat] is going to be a f—-n’ blast!” 

Jesse James Writing Tell-All Book

Watch out Sandra Bullock, Entertainment Weekly reports that Jesse James will be writing a tell-all book.

Jesse James & Kat Von D, Engaged

Jesse James and Kat Von D are engaged. The news was broken to People magazine by James saying: “Growing old with her is going to be a f—-n’ blast!”

James also said 2010 was the best year of his life! “You know sometimes the public and press gets it wrong. This is one of those times. 2010 was actually the best year of my life because I fell in love with my best friend. An amazing woman who stood behind me when the world turned their backs,” James said in a statement.

“I have never met anyone so kind and loving and committed to making the world a better place every day. My love for her is beyond description. So honored that she said ‘yes.’ Growing old with her is going to be a f—-n’ blast!”

What does Kat think about her hubbie-to-be? “There is no one else for me. He’s the one.” 

Alrighty then, congratulations to the newlyweds to be.

Jesse James To Publicly Apologize To Sandra Bullock On ABC’s Nightline

Oh man, I really wanted to stay away from this subject because, like the majority of women (and probably men) I know, I heart Sandra Bullock. I love everything about her. Her laugh, her grace, her wit and especially her movies. Even more, I respect her privacy. Sandra is my home slice – she went to high school spitting distance from where I grew up. So, she’s off limits.  But, I have to report on the news in case you’re interested: Jesse James, Sandra’s estranged husband, will give his first television interview to ABC’s Nightline, scheduled to air Tuesday. OK, that’s all on this subject from Celeb Magnet. Good luck to everyone involved as they mend their lives moving forward.
