Can we say….motive? The alleged incident occurred December 20, mere days before Jon’s apartment was ransacked by an “unknown” intruder.

Jon’s lawyer, Mark Heller, has replied to the accusations, stating “Jon is a lover, not a fighter”.

Along with stealing Jon’s television, dishes and various other electronics (including a Wii video game, but not the Wii itself??), the burglar also hacked and slashed his/her way through Gosselin’s apartment, cutting up his furniture, bedding and clothes.  A note was also found at the scene, stabbed with a knife into his dresser. While police are remaining tight lipped about who left the note, sources say former flame/homewrecker Hailey Glassman’s name is attached.

Is she really stupid enough to sign her name to this Grinchly act, or do you smell the same fish I do?

Apparently Jon brought his 2005 BMW M3 to a use car lot and attempted to trade it in for a more practical Subaru, plus $4,000 cash.  Guess “celebrities” aren’t recession proof after all, as Jon’s offer was rejected.

Hey Jon, maybe you’ll have better luck on Ebay?

Kate will keep the estate home in Pennsylvania, as well as the couple’s eight children, maintaining she hopes Jon will still be a part of their lives (seeing as how he lives on the other side of the country, to what extent remains to be seen).

Of the finalization, Kate said “I am very relieved that our divorce has been finalized, and I look forward to the new year, focusing on the children.”

Jon Gosselin filed papers earlier this week that effectively put his divorce from wife, Kate, on hold for 90 days.  In a statement Jon gave, he explains the delay will give him a chance to regain control of his “future and family”, and apologizes for his behaviour over the past few months.  I think it might take a little more than that to make up for cheating on your wife, sleeping with the 22 year old daughter of your wife’s plastic surgeon, the baby sitter and even another woman named Kate….however, a step in the right direction and quite possibly the smartest thing Jon has done in a long time.

With the possible cancellation of the show, and a reconcilliation between Jon and Kate, I am starting to think those kids just might have a chance!

For all of Jon’s whining about wanting to be off the show, now that its finally happening he is throwing a bit of a tantrum.  On the heels of TLC’s announcement they will be reformating “Jon and Kate Plus 8″ come November 2 to focus more on Kate and her struggle as a soon-to-be divorced mother of 8, and renaming the show “Kate Plus 8″, Jon Gosselin has responded by having a cease-and-desist order drawn up.  The order prohibits film or production crews from setting foot on the property he jointly owns with Kate, and allows for the arrest of anyone who violates these terms.  There is no word yet on whether the order extends to filming the children off site, as well.

On the one hand, WAY TO GO JON! for finally having the balls to try to stop the show and maybe, just maybe, offer your children some semblence of a normal life again.

On the other hand, its really too bad the cease-and-desist is merely an angry, retalitory gesture on his part instead of an actual act out of concern for his children.

I wonder what he’s going to do when he realizes he is stopping his gravy train……..

There is one big difference with one of the shows she was on vs the others. On the View she was a co-host. Yes, you read it right, a co-host. Going on the View as a co-host is a high honor that is usually given to celebrities. I am sorry. I have a real issue calling her a celebrity. She is a reality TV personality in my opinion. However, there are a lot of people who feel differently. Differently enough to give her a Talk Show.

According to the rumors that are circling around the celebrity circuit, is the same media group that gave Ellen DeGeneres and Tyra Banks their talk shows is working out a deal to give Kate her own talk show. She would be alongside Paula Deen. I can’t get over that Paula Deen would run second to Kate, but so far that is how it is being set up, according to the rumors. Now I am sure there will be a lot of changes before they put anything in stone. Rumor also has it that this same media group is looking for women to cast for the show to work with her. The women have to be moms. Reason being, is that Kate wants to have a show that focuses on being a Mom. She feels as though there isn’t any shows currently that really deals with that issue as the main focus of the show.

The upside to her having this show would mean alleviating the need for having the kids around on television for her main source of income. The kids would finally have a chance at a normal life. This news will make many concerned viewers very happy.

The down side that also has to be taken in consideration is, what will happen with the kids when Mommy is busy with her show and Daddy is in NY pretending to be Hugh Hefner? At least with the dysfunctional life style they have now, the kids get to see Mommy and Daddy when it’s time to tape an episode. Any other time, Mommy is out doing her thing, either traveling, going to salons for pampering, or busy writing books. Unfortunately, the world knows what and who Daddy’s doing. Daddy as it is barely can muster up enough energy (probably due to a hangover) to play with the kids when it comes time for taping the show. But as we all know, he has enough energy to complain to the media that Kate gets all of the air time and that she always gets her way. Wait a minute, is Kate getting her way again, Jon? Wasn’t it just weeks ago Jon was throwing a temper tantrum that he couldn’t have a show about divorced Dads? Wonder what ever happened with that? If I remember correctly, he said that it had something to do with the network TLC and that according to his contract, he couldn’t go on other networks or something like that. But yet Kate is featured everywhere and is in the works to get her own show. I think someone was trying not to bruise his ego.

You have to be poised, intelligent, and calm to offered what Kate has been offered. Something that Jon has not displayed in past behavior. In my own personal opinion, I think Kate gets more professional air time than Jon because she is not out at bars doing body shots, dating and cheating on everyone she can, and running away from her kids to Paris for a “love” vacation. Then asking for a show about how to be divorced all the while complaining to the media about the your spouse. There are enough reality shows with boozing, sleaze, and dysfunction in it. Maybe he should approach VH1 about doing a dating show for him. That is more like his life style now. She also didn’t display multiple personality syndrome by yelling at the Paparazzi to leave them alone and then complain that she isn’t getting enough media time.

The question still remains. Is Kate going to be accepted by the public if she goes ahead with this adventure? Based on polls taken by several Internet sites, People watched the show to see the drama unfold, not because they exactly liked either one. In fact, it has been made clear that Kate is known to be the witch with 8 kids. But people have been known to express one opinion about something, but when the media waves their magical wand, people are instantly persuaded to change their mind. Advertising is so popular and expensive because it works. It definitely influences the public. The public has already been influenced by her new hair style. What would be funny is, since Kate done so “well” on the Kelly and Regis Show, maybe Kelly Rippa will be a co-hosting mom on her show. They are doing casting calls, so make it known who you want to see represent this show with Kate Gosselin.

It doesn’t stop there….apparently she also works at Legends. Sound familiar? Its the Pennsylvania bar that all the trouble began for Jon (or, became public, at least). Jon was FIRST seen hooking up with college co-eds and then linked to Deanna Hummel at Legends before the divorce rumors started to fly earlier this year.

Really, Jon…maybe you need to expand your dating pool a little (and start an actual relationship with a grownup!!) – haven’t you heard of eHarmony?

Jon reasons that Hailey “encourages” and “respects” him – something we all saw Kate was incapable of doing.  But still, she’s 22! Of course she’s going to “encourage” and “respect” you while the spotlight is on and the bank account is full!

The worst part is, Daddy’s comments are out there for the world to see.  He better be saving some of his money to pay for their much-needed therapy.

Check out this video – the best part is the interviewer telling Jon he can’t talk that way about the mother of his kids!

It was Jon’s turn to be at the house with the (soon-to-be-ex) couple’s eight children, and according to their agreement when one parent is at the home, the other stays elsewhere.  Apparently Kate didn’t get the memo, because when she showed up at the gate Douche Jon would not let her in.  The two argued through the gate until police were finally called.  Reports are that Kate checked into a nearby hotel.

Who wants to bet the call came from inside the house? Perhaps Jon’s new girlfriend, Hailey dialed???

The ‘couple’ have been photographed on multiple occasions, eating out and getting their drink on late into the evening.

I don’t know what’s worse – the fact that Jon is on to his second fling since the seperation, or that Kate needs to find a new plastic surgeon…

TLC has been gearing up for a “big announcement” on tonight’s show, but it looks like the secret’s out!

We’ll update more as tonight’s show airs…

Now the only question is…how much will Jon’s child support payments be?!

Could they FINALLY be announcing what we already know, that they are getting a divorce??

Check out the video for yourself here. Will you watch or have you, like so many others, finally seen enough?

Kate loves the fame?

According to PerezHilton, Kate Gosselin’s brother, Kevin, and his wife Jodi (she appeared on many episodes of Jon & Kate Plus 8, as Kate would often leave the children with her) are confirming that Jon and Kate have actually been split up for several months, and are just putting on an act for the show!!

“The show is not reality, and has not been for a long time. This is a train wreck,”  Jodi told reporters.

Kevin believes his sister is way too into the fame to give up the show.

The Season 5 premiere is gearing up to be the must-see-tv of the summer!!

For the past week, Kate has done a whirlwind tour of the talk show circuit, appearing on Larry King, the Today Show and Rachael Ray, as well as conducting several magazine interviews.  During all of them she has remained steadfast in saying the family is as strong as ever.  Her interview today with People Magazine revealed a different story, as she tells the mag: “I don’t know that we’re in the same place anymore, that we want the same thing. I’ve been struggling with the question of ‘Who is this person?’ (Deanna) for a while. I remember where I was the first time I heard her name. It’s one of those things where you can try to make it go away, but there’s blaring, red flashing lights.”

The video shows Jon exiting a house and walking down the street, and viewers are left to believe the home he is leaving is that of Deanna Hummel.   If it is indeed her house, its going to be pretty hard to deny any wrongdoing (even if he isn’t cheating on wife, Kate Gosselin, it can’t be appropriate for him to be having co-ed sleepovers…).

Kate Gosselin appeared on the Today Show and was quoted as saying she is “hesitant to believe” that Jon is having an affair, and that the two are weathering this together, as a family.

Oh, my…..

While Kate has been traveling alone to various speaking engagements, Jon has been noticeably absent and during one of her recent trips he was photographed leaving a bar with a female friend in the wee hours of the morning, sparking a barrage of rumors that he has been cheating. So, it was a nice surprise when Jon sat alongside his wife in support on May 2 while she spoke at the Southern Women’s Show in their home state of Pennsylvania. Kate even cracked a joke that she was happy not to have to sit next to an empty chair.

Their mutual appearance comes on the heals of the infamous US Weekly cover story detailing his night on the town at Legend’s Lounge, and I imagine it must have taken a great deal of courage for Jon to appear publicly.  Kudos to Jon for stepping it up and not making Kate face the paparazzi and their questions of infidelity on her own.

For a full review of the event, check out PennLive.com.

Shortly after the ‘event’, Jon issued a statement claiming the mystery date was simply a friend, who happened to be a female, and who also happened to want to check out his new car.  He then went on to admit he had shown “poor judgment”, and was sorry for what the ordeal was doing to his family.

The mysterious woman has now come forward and is claiming the two are “just friends”.  Deanna Hummel, 23, told People magazine that she and Jon met several months ago and hung out often, always in groups with other people, and were friends and nothing more.  She corroborated Jon’s story that she indeed wanted to see his new car, which evidently explains why the two drove off together, alone.

Is Deanna Hummel telling the truth, are the pair “just friends”, or is she as scared of Kate as Jon is?!

Jon later told the media he was simply at the bar with “a friend”, and she wanted to check out his brand new car, which is apparently why the pair sped away from the bar with a drunk Jon in the passenger seat (hey, at least he doesn’t drink and drive!) sans wedding ring.  The new car Jon was referring to is a brand new Nissan Nismo 350Z – quite the step up from his 10-seater family van!

Sources report that the car was a gift from Kate to celebrate Jon’s recent 32nd birthday. Others speculate the car was given by Kate as a bribe to either a) Stay in the marriage, or b) Stay on the show.  Whatever Kate’s intention was, I am sure it had nothing to do with helping Jon scout out potential new baby-mommas!

Kate takes the children on several fun outings such as the Please Touch museum where the sextuplets have a fantastic day building airplanes, splashing in a mini-water park and riding a carosel.  The sextuplets also paint on a canvas each, which Kate explains will hang in the new house (always needing to be in control, of course she has chosen the colors of paint that they use so that the paintings match the walls of the new house….)

During the chair interview sessions, Jon explains that he was not present for these outings as he was at his mom’s house in Huntingdon, PA for eight days (as if the rumors of a Jon and Kate split weren’t fuelled enough already!).  He also talks about his frustration with being filmed constantly, and admits he isn’t sure if they are going to be back for another season. Kate disagrees with Jon, and tells the viewers she is very happy doing the show, that it has allowed them both to stay at home. Jon tells Kate that is “her, that’s not me”, and that he still isn’t sure that is what he wants. “I can’t just be Jon, I always have to be Jon and Kate Plus 8″.  Jon also goes on to say that when he goes out, he gets photographed and everyone knows his business. He is sort of mumbling and trailing off here, and Kate isn’t saying anything at all.  Its very clear he is trying to address the rumors of his appearance at the co-ed college party which he was photographed at with two younger girls.  Again, Kate is not saying anything.

As the season finale winds down, both Jon and Kate say goodbye and admit they are still not sure if they will be back next season.  They both sign the walls of the set, walk away from the interview chair, and the cameras fade out.

Here’s a video clip of the controversial chair interview, what do YOU think??

One source claims Jon went to a bar after a public speaking engagement in February of this year, and told the group of people he was with that he and Kate had already separated and they would be getting a divorce as soon as their contract with TLC for Jon & Kate Plus 8 ends in a year (is this why they agreed to do one more season, to fill out their contract?)

On another occasion, Jon allegedly told some co-eds at a college bar that he would likely be getting a divorce (the source goes on to say that he then tried to kiss the girls while dancing with them).

Although Jon has not yet specifically denied the divorce rumors, he has released a statement saying that the rumors “make (him) reluctant to live life like the average person would…As you can see on the show, I am not perfect, but I am part of a loving family and couple”.

So, are these divorce rumors just that – rumors? Or will we be seeing a Jon Minus 9 spin off next year when their contract is up?

What is Jon’s full name?
Jonathan Keith Gosselin

How old is Jon?
Jon was born on April 1st, 1977, which (at the time of this post, 2009) makes him 32 years old.

When did Jon and Kate meet?
Jon and Kate met at a picnic on October 5, 1997.

When were Jon and Kate married?
The couple became Jon and Kate Gosselin on June 12, 1999.

What is Jon’s ethnicity?
Jon is half Korean, one quarter Welsh and one quarter French.

What is Jon Gosselin’s job?
Jon used to work as an IT analyst, however he now stays home and works on the show, public appearances, etc.

In an effort to explain himself and likely try to save his marriage television show, Jon Gosselin claims he was at the bar to speak with the owner, the lady was a friend who wanted to “check out my car, so I let her drive it to her car.” He then goes on to justify “Yes, I have female friends – but that is all she is. I’m not going to end my friendships just because I’m on TV.”

During this incident, Kate was out of town to promote her new book, which begs the question…who was looking after the twins and sextuplets??

What do you think? Is Jon Gosselin cheating? Will Jon and Kate divorce? Will there be a new season of Jon and Kate Plus 8 or has their cash cow gone to pasture?

Allegedly, Jon Gosselin (of TLC’s Jon and Kate Plus Eight fame) invited himself to a party being held by Juniata College seniors.  Aside from getting smashed and hitting on young women, 31 year old Jon spent the night playing beer pong with the college’s women’s volleyball team.

Interestingly enough, this incident took place in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, where Jon’s mom lives.  Is there trouble in paradise, so much so that Jon has moved out and is staying with his mom?  During the Season 4 Final of Jon and Kate Plus 8, “Family Outing”, Jon explains he stayed at his mom’s house for eight days to help her as she broke her foot, and her husband (Jon’s father is deceased) was out of town.

Don’t get me wrong, I am a huge fan of Jon.  After suffering constant beratement and emasculation at the hands of Kate, its no small wonder he is out blowing off steam!
