The season finale of Project Runway begins (it's a two-parter). I hope Anna wins. And the Jersey Shore folks say goodbye to Italy. There's also Gray's Anatomy and Private Practice, neither of which have been impressive this season.

Who shot Qaddafi? Was it his bodyguards? CBS has graphic photos showing him alive after being shot -- really awful. (again, warning, very graphic.)

Bon Jovi has opened his "pay what you can" JBJ Soul Kitchen in Red Bank, N.J. The menus offer upscale, gourmet food with no prices listed. Instead, an envelope is left on the table where diners can leave any amount, or nothing.

"This is not a soup kitchen," [Bon Jovi] emphasizes. "You can come here with the dignity of linens and silver, and you're served a healthy, nutritious meal. This is not burgers and fries.... If you can't afford to eat, you can bus tables, you can wait tables, you can work in the kitchen as a dishwasher or sous chef," he said.

...."If you come in and say, 'I'm hungry,' we'll feed you," Bon Jovi said. "But we're going to need you to do something. It's very important to what we're trying to achieve....This is not an entitlement thing......This is about empowering people because you have to earn that gift certificate.""

The restaurant's website is here. The details are here.

It's time for Survivor, Harry's Law and America's Next Top Model.

Via TMZ, here's Lindsay Lohan's glowing Probation Report. What does the Judge care if she does her service at The Red Cross instead of the program she specified? Time to let up on Lindsay. I doubt she'll go back to jail in November, but the press is already having a field day. Worst headline: "Pack Your Prison Panties, Lindsay, You’re Going Back to the Big House." (By a men's site that claims to love and respect women.)

Our earlier open thread is filling up. What else is in the news? More federal medical marijuana raids in Colorado. On a lighter note, Colorado's state champion goat was disqualified for failing a drug test.

Anyone else getting error messages trying to upgrade a PC to Apple's iOS5? Apparently, I'm not alone.

There's lots of TV on tonight -- Survivor, Harry's Law, the X Factor (The X Factor is postponed so Fox can air a delayed baseball game) and America's Next Top Model, to name a few. The second episode of Showtime's Homeland was better than the first, it could be a good show.

For those of you with other things on your mind, here's an open thread, all topics welcome.

The Washington Post has a new article on Occupy Wall Street and the protesters' goals. There were 50 arrests today at Occupy Boston.

Is anyone else feverishly trying to get their financial documents together for their accountant to meet the Oct. 17 tax filing deadline? I'm completely exhausted from the process. I delivered everything at 5pm but it looks like a tornado ravaged my home office. I'm off to begin cleaning up the mess.

Busy day. Open Thread.
