Gosselin divorce final:

Kate gets the house in Pa.

PHILADLELPHIA (AP) -- Jon and Kate Gosselin are officially divorced after 10 years of marriage, eight children and a year of tabloid headlines.

A lawyer for Kate Gosselin says she gets the family home in eastern Pennsylvania in the no-fault divorce agreement entered Friday and first reported by TMZ.com.

Lawyer Mark Momjian says Kate Gosselin will continue as the primary caretaker of the reality TV couple's twins and sextuplets. He says the Gosselins worked out custody arrangements, but let an arbiter decide financial issues. He says Kate is relieved and excited about restructuring her life.

Gibson's last day at work after 34 years with ABC

NEW YORK (AP) -- After a 34-year career in TV news, Charles Gibson, 66, retired on Friday from the "World News" anchor desk and from ABC as a full-time employee. Over the years, he was a long-time co-anchor of "Good Morning America," starting in 1987, then left in 1998 to serve as a co-anchor of the "Primetime Thursday" newsmagazine for six years.

In 1999, Gibson was summoned back for supplementary service in the morning-show trenches that continued for more than seven years.

After "World News" anchor Peter Jennings died from lung cancer in 2005 and early in 2006 when Jennings' co-successors were both forced to give up their roles at the anchor desk -- Bob Woodruff was gravely injured on assignment in Iraq, and Elizabeth Vargas became pregnant -- the network turned to Gibson. For several weeks, he even did double duty on "GMA" and "World News."

By July 2006, he was finally free to concentrate on "World News" while serving, at last, as the face of ABC News.

Since then, he has led "World News" in its spirited battle with customary ratings champ Brian Williams at NBC's "Nightly News" as well as Katie Couric, who in a whirlwind of publicity arrived at "The CBS Evening News" shortly after Gibson's "World News" induction, only to languish in third place.

It is this high office that Gibson is vacating after Friday's "World News" broadcast.

In an orderly and low-key passing of the torch, Sawyer will replace him Monday at the "World News" anchor desk.
