And the color of the day is RED!

Can we all agree that Kat Von D looks like a hot mess? I got my ass handed to me yesterday for even suggesting that Sarah Jessica Parker was a hot mess (I still stand by the fact that I don’t like the look – so THERE!). This time – I’d like to make ABSOLUTELY SURE that I know what I’m talking about.

This is NOT HOT… Right?

Well Kat Von D had some bad news finding out that her TLC show LA Ink had been cancelled. Just hours after that announcement, we found out that she and Jesse James are back together and the engagement is on.

Here’s what Jesse James had to say about the situation.

“Sometimes you are only given one chance in life,” James told People Magazine in an exclusive statement regarding the reconciliation.

“It was up to me to open my eyes and see it. That girl is my chance. I will never stop fighting and striving to hold on to her. Showing her how special she is, and how much I love her.”

Leaving nobody in any doubt that they’re back on – the duo posted photos of themselves together on their respective Twitter accounts on Thursday, with James adding the caption “para siempre” which translates from Spanish to “forever”.

Hmmm…. forever? I am not so sure about that one. What do you think? Will these two last?

Kat Von D’s no longer has a show on TLC. LA Ink has been officially cancelled.

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

The finale airs on September 15. Will you be sad to see this reality series end?

Kat Von D and Jesse James split in July, but unfortunately for them – their relationship is playing out on the new season of L.A. Ink. In this Thursday’s all-new episode, the 29-year-old tattoo artist claims “it’s been awesome” spending time with her 42-year-old Choppers boyfriend who lives in Austin, TX.

“Distance is nothing. We’ll make it work,” von D (real name: Katherine von Drachenberg) says. “It makes sense that we would approach it that way.

And yet, distance proved to be one of their biggest problems. Shortly after announcing their split via Twitter July 27, the tattoo artist opened up about her painful breakup with James in a Facebook post titled “What Can I Say? I Suck.”

“I never planned on walking away from this relationship,” she wrote. “As much as I’d like to picture [myself] being this strong, independent woman, the truth is most of the time I’m not as strong as I’d like to be — but I’m still trying.”

L.A. Ink airs Thursday at 10 p.m. EST on TLC.

Kat Von D‘s pity party may have gone a little too far. The LA Ink star has had quite a rough week, beginning with her Twitter announcement confirming she and fiancé Jesse James had split. Then, her scheduled appearance of Fox 11′s Good Day L.A. imploded after Kat stormed off set when the program showed a clip from her TLC reality show including Jesse — sparking a feud between Kat and anchor Jillian Barberie Reynolds. Now, Kat has posted a lengthy note on her Facebook page, addressing her recent actions.

Today felt pretty impossible. Most of the times, regardless of what’s going on around me, I’m usually strong enough to not let things get to me like this.

But today there seems to be no way of escaping my thoughts.

“What have I done?”

“I sure made a mess of things”

“Wish today was over..”

Most of the time I’m good at rolling with the punches when things don’t go “as planned.” But somehow, I allowed today to get the best of me.

None of this happened over night and I guess most of the time it doesn’t. But we are all master of our own reality and whatever is “happening to me” is no ones “fault” other than my own.

The accumulation of things this past year have been challenging in so many ways, but for the most part I found it easy to stay positive through it. At times I even surprised myself at how resilient I was to a lot of these challenges…

There was my new relationship with Jesse, which regardless of how happy it made me, sprung a lot of negativity from the outside world. Then the 2 month book tour, not to mention my house burning down half way through the tour…

Taking on another season of filming the show during all of this, plus a million other things to add to the list…

None of the above gave me reason to complain, and I didn’t, and still don’t – not even losing my cat in the fire. As crazy as it sounds, all of it brought me a great deal of reassurance that I was on the right path…

I mean, if all of this would of taken place 4 years ago before I decided to get sober I would have easily been the worlds biggest train wreck. Instead, dealing with all of it through acceptance of what is, and staying as present in the moment as possible, was the only way I was able to learn so much…

In my relationship I never before felt as solid and strong- even though the world said different by all the criticism.

Lost a lot of friends, and even caused turmoil within some of my family members because of the bullshit the media put out there.. Some fans even changed their perception of who they thought I was…

All of this just motivated me to stay even more grounded and to love whole-heartedly without judgment.

At one point I remember feeling so saddened by the way people said the most hurtful things, (as much as I did my best to ignore it). It felt like it was just the two of us against the world. I think it’s safe to say that a lot of times that would bring us even closer.

Knowing that someone loves you for who you are and that they gain nothing from you other than the joy of being loved unconditionally is a good feeling.

But life has an amazing way of reminding you what truly is important and at the end of the day, none of what the outside world has to say carries any real weight when it comes to matters of the heart.

Fast forward through this year of transition, and things evolve – some in more positive ways than others. But all with life lessons at the end of them.

Today was really hard for me. And no ones to blame other than myself.

Never planned on walking away from this relationship, let alone the timing of things.

Never was good at being anything other than myself either. And as much as I’d like to picture me being this strong, independent woman, the truth is most of the time I’m not as strong as I’d like to be – but I’m still trying.

Although my intentions were never to offend or hurt anyone’s feelings, this isn’t an apology for walking out on a silly morning show interview this morning- and this isn’t an attempt at justifying anything either. I don’t expect people to understand, just like I can’t expect myself to be able to please everyone at all times.

Tomorrow the new season of LA Ink starts and I admit I’m not strong enough to do all the press I committed to doing for the show. Today was a perfect example of that.

I’m not going to flatter myself in thinking I’m interesting enough for the press not to pry into gossip-related questions so its unfair of me to expect them to respect that ..but even though it’s not in my nature to cancel on people, it IS in my nature to admit when I’m weak.

Ratings.

Sales.

Publicity.

The amount of followers I have on twitter.

None of those things matters to me.

Watch the show or don’t watch it.

Whether people tune in or not doesn’t change my best efforts or the quality of what I do, because when you make something for the sake of putting good out into the universe, the payback comes from a much more fulfilling place than any man made form of payment.

Con todo mi corazon,

Kat Von D

Yikes Kat.

Kat Von D will forever be reminded of her broken engagement and relationship with Jesse James. She managed to find a patch of skin big enough to get one more tattoo – and this time, it was a picture of Jesse’s face!

In a sneak peek of the season premiere of “LA Ink”, Kat calls Jesse into the tattoo parlor where she gives him his “surprise”. “I’m getting his face tattooed on me and I have no idea how he’s going to react,” Kat says in the clip.

When Jesse arrives at her tattoo shop he jokes “I feel like I’m in court,” as Kat tells him she’s nervous about giving him his “surprise.”

He seems uncomfortable with her new tattoo, saying “you’re crazy,” but tells her “yeah” he loves it, and “I love you.” I’m thinking somewhere in the back of his head he’s thinking “how am I going to break up with her NOW!?”

Kat seems weird herself, acting honestly like a teenager. “I thought you were going to tell me you were breaking up with me.” Ding-ding-ding!

Kat announced via Twitter on Monday night that she and her fiancé Jesse James, Sandra Bullock’s ex husband, had split.

Check out the season premiere of LA INK on TLC Thursday, July 28 at 10/9c.

Kat Von D stormed off the set of “Good Day L.A.” this morning, minutes before she was supposed to give an interview. What happened? The anchor had the nerve to mention her split from fiance Jesse James.

Sources on set tell TMZ, Kat was all set to give the interview — but flipped out when she heard how she was introduced on the show … and walked out of the building before the interview even started.

During the introduction, “Good Day” aired a clip from Kat’s show “L.A. Ink” — showing Kat getting a tattoo of Jesse James on her side — and the anchor mentioned she got the tattoo before she and Jesse called it quits.

According to sources, Kat was pissed the anchor even brought up her relationship with Jesse … and stormed out of the building.

Sources tell us, Kat approved the Jesse James tattoo clip from her show — and even got a heads up from “Good Day” producers that she would be asked about the breakup during the interview.

Moments after Kat stormed off the lot, she tweeted, “Dear GoodDayLA, thanks for the waste of a perfectly good morning. Lack of compassion n respect for eachother never fails to dissapoint me.”

She goes in for an interview ONE DAY after it’s announced she’s split from her fiance, and she expects NOT to be asked about it!? That’s ridiculous. She should have canceled the interview if she didn’t want to talk about it.
