It's Labor Day Weekend, the unofficial close to summer, but if that's not enough to convince you that Autumn is on the way, tonight's top pick is an undeniable indicator that the warm months will soon be behind us. That's right: college football is back, with the first kickoff happening tonight in Minnesota.
Today's other highlights include the fall from grace of a bestselling celebrity biographer, a look at what it takes to make long-term love last, and a peek at the beginnings of a new romance.
