Oct. 7 2009, Published 3:50 p.m. ET
The very public feud between reality TV parents Jon and Kate Gosselin is bleeding into other TV shows: an upcoming episode of NBC's Law & Order will feature a storyline about a murderous reality TV dad with 10 kids.
The episode, entitled Reality Bites, tells the story of a real estate developer named Larry who signs on to film a reality show -- called Larry Plus 10 -- contract the day after his wife is murdered. For added authenticity, Larry has a girlfriend who happens to be a young babysitter.

Even Octo-Mom gets in the act on this one: a character in the episode named Belinda Alvarez is an mother-of-ten, via in-vitro fertilization, who is in competition with Larry's family to get the show.
