Jon’s Apartment Ransacked!

Jon Gosselin received a late Christmas gift on Saturday, when he returned home to his Manhattan apartment to find it had been ransacked! Jon Gosselin Manhattan Apartment

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?

Jon turned down at used car lot

Jon Gosselin's BMW M3Looks like newly divorced father of 8, Jon Gosselin, could use some extra cash.

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?

Jon and Kate officially divorced

Ten years of wedded….bliss… has come to an end today, as parents-of-the-year Jon and Kate Gosselin are officially divorced. Jon and Kate Gosselin divorce

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.”

TLC suing Jon!

It was only a matter of time before his tabloid loving, prime-time TV interviewing antics caught up with him!

TLC filed a lawsuit against Jon Gosselin, claiming he broke a number of sections of their contract with him, including getting paid for appearances on other shows, spilling information about production and behind-the-scenes secrets, and, oh yeah, not allowing them to film anymore.

Jon is OUT!

TLC has just announced what we all have seen coming for some time now – they are finished with Jon kate_gosselin_kidsand his tabloid-loving antics.

The new show, to be titled Kate Plus 8, will relaunch on November 2 and take a deeper look into Kate’s new life as a single mom of 8 kids.  Jon won’t be out of the picture completely, however, as TLC is retaining their exclusive rights contract with him.  He will still be shown from time to time, however he will not a regular part of the reality tv show (kind of like his role as a father!!).

This news is not surprising, and comes on the heels of the show’s worst ratings to date: just over 1 million viewers tuned in to the last aired episode (compared to the 10 million voyeurs who watched Jon and Kate announce their divorce).

Will the change in format bring you back to the show?

Kate has her own Talk Show

Kate without the ball and chain, is a Kate that is much different than the Kate we have seen for years on the “Jon and Kate plus 8″ show. Some say she is now a celebrity diva. She has appeared onkateview many shows to defend her honor like Larry King Live, Good Morning America, The Rachel Ray Show, and most recently the View.

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.

Jon and…the NANNY?!

Jon Gosselin Affair Nanny Stephanie SantoroRecall a few weeks ago when Kate called the police to their home when Jon wouldn’t let her in the house/compound? Rumor has it that the twins, Mady and Cara, called Kate because Daddy was being  inappropriate with their babysitter, and they felt uncomfortable. That ‘babysitter’, Stephanie Santoro, is now coming forward confirming that she had a relationship with Jon before the divorce was final (and while, she claims, he was dating Hailey!)

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?

“I despise her”

In a recent interview with ABC, Jon Gosselin admits to despising his soon-to-be-ex wife, Kate.  He goes on to say that he loves his current girlfriend, 22 year old Hailey Glassman, more than he ever loved his former wife of 10 years and mother of his 8 children. Ouch.

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!

Jon & Kate to make big announcement on Monday’s show!

kate-gosselin-sadNew promos have surfaced for Monday night’s episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8 enticing a dwindling viewership to once again tune in for a “big announcement”.  The clips show Jon & Kate interviewing separately (no surprise as they have done so this entire season), and Kate with a box of tissues talking about how they have been “dealing with this” for a long time now.  Jon, showing off a new set of pierced ears, admits that he has changed and he “is now the person I know I am”.

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?

Jon and Kate under investigation!

According to MSN.com, the Pennsylvania Department of Labor is investigating Jon & Kate Plus 8 after receiving complaints about the show.  It seems they are looking intoJon and Kate Plus 8 Gosselin whether or not the show complies with child labor laws in that state.  Of course, TLC is fighting back, assuring the Department that the show “fully complies” with all state laws and regulations.

The hit “reality” show follows the marriage (and now possible divorce!) of Jon and Kate Gosselin as they raise their twin girls and sextuplets.  Filming of the family takes place at least three days per week, professional fluorescent lighting has been installed throughout the house, and cameras have been installed in the sextuplets’ bedrooms to catch anything that might be amusing to viewers.  The cameras are present constantly, the children do not get “vacations” (the camera crew even film on Christmas morning!).  Many opponents of the show suggest that the children are not afforded due privacy as they cannot get away from the camera.  I can’t imagine how they will feel when they grow up and watch old episodes (the producers seem to only capture twin Mady having “melt downs”, as Kate calls them, or zooming in on one of the younger boy’s bum crack as he bent over near a poolside on vacation).

What do you think? Are the children being exploited?

Turning 5 and the Future – Episode Recap

Wow.

This episode actually made me feel bad for Kate. Its one thing to have invited cameras (and millions of fans) into your home for the past few years,

its quite another to be facing a separation and the destruction of the life you’ve built on national television. Throughout the season premiere I kept thinking back to the Home Videos episode that showed video footage of a very young Jon and Kate, before they were married, before the twins and sextuplets, and before the media. They looked so happy, so hopeful for what the future might hold for them. And then on this new episode they interviewed separately, Jon looking very much as though he has mentally checked out, and Kate remaining emotionless yet speaking very candidly with pain in her voice about the events that have unfolded.

Although neither Kate nor Jon specifically used the words “affair” or “divorce”, and remained fairly vague, it was clear they were speaking of Jon’s recent indiscretions and the toll it has taken on their family and lives. Jon remains adament that he has never cheated on Kate, and only he will ever know the truth, but he was very apologetic about what he has brought upon them. He also spoke of feeling like he was in prison with the paparazzi following his every move.

Kate also spoke of the hurt that Jon’s actions have caused the family, and at one point said she should have seen it coming for the past 6 months “or longer, if I am being honest with myself”. They both talked about Kate traveling so much (”Its my job”), and revealed that Jon has been staying at home with the kids while Kate is away (”But he has help, its not like he’s doing it alone”). Kate called the situation “complicated” in that he doesn’t want her traveling so much, but didn’t want her around at the same time. It became fairly obvious that Jon lives away from the house while Kate is not out of town.

During this episode, the sextuplets also celebrated their 5th birthday party (on Mother’s Day, no less, however they did not mention this fact during the episode). We see their new million dollar home, as Kate is preparing for the party. Kate reveals that since Jon has been gone, Mady and Cara have really stepped up to the plate and have been helping her alot with the younger children. Kate also reveals that Jon is not present as he has decided he needed a break that weekend, however she would still be taking the children out shopping for their party decorations as promised. She packs up all 8 children and as they arrive at the party supply store, Kate instructs them to unbuckle quickly as “the paparazzi are here”. The children oblige and are met with a firestorm of photographers. She tells them not to say the word, and instead tells the camera they call the papaazzi “P People”. The family emerges from the store with their supplies, and the “P People” are of course waiting for them.

Back at the house, a very tired Kate finishes preparing for the big party by stuffing four pinatas and the twins help her out by folding gift boxes for all the guests. This will be the first year that the kids will have friends at the birthday party as the sextuplets have started school. They have invited the entire class, including the teacher and her children as well as a friend for Mady and Cara.

The next day Kate arrives at the site of the birthday party and with the help of the production crew they set up the area with decorations, picnic tables and several bouncy castles. Jon is not present for the setup. Kate explains to the camera that it took a while to get to the site as they needed to try to lose the paparazzi that were tailing them. It looks freezing out, and there are bugs flying around Kate everywhere. Eventually they finish the setup, and the party begins! Jon does arrive, and it is VERY cold between he and Kate. They do not speak for the first little while, until at some point Kate starts barking orders at him again.

The kids play on the bouncy castles (some were wet and Jon had to clean them out), watch a magician, play with a huge bunny, have cake and ice cream and then whack away at the pinatas. Kate loudly groans several times that the party is too long, and “over scheduled”. When all of the activities are complete, Kate gathers the eight kids (and Jon!) up for a family photo. Later in her private interview, Kate begins to cry and says she is scared it will be their last family picture together. At one point during the party, one of the little girls is talking with Jon and says “I don’t want you to leave anymore”. They hug, and it is a heartbreaking moment :(

The episode ends with both Jon and Kate interviewing together. They sit very far apart, and do not speak to one another. Both of them agree it is still all about the kids, and neither know what the future holds.

One thing is certain at the end of this episode…I can’t wait for the next one!!!!!

I definitely think now that they will be getting a divorce….how about you??

Kate admits they might split

coverKate Gosselin revealed to People Magazine that her marriage to husband, Jon Gosselin, is indeed on the rocks due to none other than 23 year old Deanna Hummel.  Jon has been linked to Hummel recently in the tabloids as having an affair, something the two adamantly deny.  But the proof is indeed in the pudding, so to speak.  Jon and Deanna were first photographed leaving a bar together in the wee hours of the morning.  Since then, Deanna’s brother (and roommate) has come forward saying he has not only seen the couple together, but also (shudder) heard them together.  As well, video has surfaced of Jon allegedly leaving the young school teacher’s house early in the morning.

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.”

Sextuplets turn 5!

gosselin_mom_smThe Gosselin Sextuplets celebrate their 5th birthday today!

On May 10, 2004, Kate and Jon Gosselin welcomed the sextuplets, who were born by cesarean section at 30 weeks.  In honor of their birthday, we’ve found an article detailing their birth from that day five years ago.  Its very strange to look back on the article now, before Jon & Kate became “celebrities” with their reality TV show, Jon & Kate Plus Ei8ht!

Happy Birthday, Alexis, Hannah, Leah, Joel, Collin and Aaden!!!

Kate cheating too???

The Bodyguard

The Bodyguard

Star Magazine is reporting that Jon Gosselin may not have been the first to cheat! A source tells Star that Kate Gosselin was getting a little too close with her personal trainer, causing Jon to go astray (he has been linked recently to 23 year old school teacher, Deanna Hummel). As well, the source goes on to say Kate may be involved with her personal bodyguard who accompanies her on her book tour stops.

Was Kate the first to cheat, or is this simply a fabricated story to sell more magazines? It is Star, afterall….

Kate Gosselin does Larry King

artkategosselincnn“You can’t believe everything you hear”, Kate Gosselin tells Larry King on his program May 7, 2009 when asked about rumors of husband Jon Gosselin’s affair. Jon was recently photographed leaving Legend’s Lounge with 23 year old school teacher, Deanna Hummel. The pair have both made statements reiterating they are just friends, however since that time Deanna’s brother Jason has come out saying Jon spends nights at their house, and a video was released by Us Weekly showing Jon leaving their residence in the early morning.

Larry goes on to ask Kate whether or not her children are aware of the rumors. Kate replies that they go to a private school where people aren’t interested in that type of thing, so the children at this point are unaware (thankfully!)

“We are a family who did not set out to live the celebrity lifestyle….I am not a celebrity, I am a mom and a wife. I feel that Jon is having difficult times realizing that you can’t go to the grocery store without people whipping out their cell phones, calling everyone they know and taking pictures of it. He is dealing very poorly with it.”

When asked by Larry whether she regretted doing the show, Jon & Kate Plus 8, she explained the family and children have had good experiences, and that they have learned to “survive anything”.

Check out the interview in its entirety on here, on CNN.com.

Jon Gosselin videotaped leaving mistress’ home

cover-gosselinUs Weekly has released video of Jon Gosselin allegedly leaving the home of 23 year old school teacher Deanna Hummel. The video tape was made on March 13, more than a month before the two were spotted leaving Legend’s Lounge bar together at two in the morning. Both Jon Gosselin (of TLC’s Jon & Kate Plus 8 ) and Deanna have made public statements denying any affair, and claiming they are ‘just friends’.

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.

Deanna Hummel Sex Tape???

I’ve just read on PerezHilton that an ex-boyfriend of Deanna Hummel (the 23 year old school teacher made ‘famous’ for being at the centre of a rumored affair with Jon Gosselin of Jon & Kate Plus 8 ) is coming forward with a sex tape of the pair, and looking for offers!!  He’s even set up his own website at deannahummel.com.

Kate Gosselin to appear on Rachael Ray

Kate Gosselin sat down with Rachael Ray during a taping of the popular talkshow on Wednesday to address rumors of her husband’s infidelity.  Earlier in March, Jon Gosselin was photographed leaving Legend’s Lounge, a bar in his home state of Pennsylvania, at two in the morning with a then mystery woman who has been identified as 23 year old Deanna Hummel.  The pair sped away in Jon’s new Nissan Nismo, and reportedly Jon was not wearing his wedding ring.  During this time, Kate was out of town promoting her books, Multiple Blessings and the new Eight Little Faces.  Both Jon and Deanna have issued statements to magazines that they are ‘just friends’ and nothing more, however multiple sources close to the two (including Deanna’s brother Jason) have confirmed the affair.

Kate was understandably vague during the interview, telling Rachael Ray they were taking it one day at a time and doing everything they could to protect their children (the couple have twin girls as well as sextuplets).

“It’s one of those things that we’re just handling privately,we’re just taking it one step at a time and I’m trying to walk through it. The focus remains on our kids. It has always been there and will    continue to be there. One day at a time, like we’ve always done. One hour at a time, one minute at a time, and my life’s been like that.”

“Certainly none of this could have been predicted,” she said. “Now going into our fifth season, we have stepped back and realized that it is part of this process, and I always say there’s really never any going back. We just need to go forward. That is my new saying — just keep on marching through this. Just doing what we need to.”

The interview will air next Tuesday, May 12.

Kate (Plus Jon!) speaks at Southern Women’s Show in PA

speakingKate Gosselin has been traveling often as of late to promote her books, Multiple Blessings and the brand new Eight Little Faces. Kate has graced the stage alone, delighting audience members with stories of her pregnancies, the birth of the Sextuplets and challenges that face both her and husband Jon Gosselin on a daily basis raising two sets of multiples (the couple also have 8 yr old twin girls).

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.

Jon’s Mystery Woman Identified!!

Jon Gosselin, of TLC’s Jon and Kate Plus 8, was recently photographed leaving Legend’s Lounge in Pennsylvania.  This on its own of course is not newsworthy, its the circumstances surrounding jon-kate-cover-bJon’s exit that have the internet and gossip world abuzz.  Jon left the PA bar at 2 in the morning with a mysterious woman by his side, and his wedding ring noticeably absent.  When the pair realized they had been seen, Jon allegedly yelled “Get in the car, babe!” and the two sped away in Jon’s new car, a Nissan Nismo.   Kate Gosselin was out of town at the time promoting her new book, Eight Little Faces.

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?!

Kate Gosselin’s New Book – Eight Little Faces

Kate Gosselin, mother of twins and sextuplets from the hit reality TV series Jon & Kate Plus 8, has recently written a new book Eight Little Faces, which went on sale April 14, 2009.  The hardcover book features photos of the Gosselin family, including twins Cara and Mady, as well as the sextuplets (Alexis, Hannah, Leah, Aaden, Collin and Joel).   Eight Little Faces also includes various comments from Kate about raising the family, religion, etc.

multiple-blessThis is a follow up book to her very popular first book, Multiple Blessings, which was released in October of 2008, and chronicles the pregnancy and birth of the Gosselin sextuplets, as well as the emotional and challenging first two years of their lives.  Multiple Blessings was so popular it was featured on the New York Times bestseller list.

The recent release of her new book has Kate Gosselin travelling often for sold-out speaking engagements around the US.  These frequent trips have been the centre of discussion and internet rumors as of late, as husband Jon Gosselin has been seen and photographed several times partying late at night with mysterious women and college co-eds. I guess when the Kate’s away, the mouse will play!

Jon’s New Car – Nissan Nismo

Nissan NismoJon Gosselin, of TLC’s Jon & Kate Plus 8, was recently photographed leaving Legend’s Lounge in PA at 2 in the morning with a young woman, who was noticeably not his wife and TV co-star, Kate (as we reported earlier in “Jon cheating on Kate (again??)”).

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!

Family Outing

In this episode of Jon and Kate plus Ei8ht, Jon and Kate officially say ‘goodbye’….to Season 4.

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??

Fact or Fiction: Jon admits to getting a divorce

jonwomanRumors circulating the internet about Jon’s recent indiscretions abound, however there is also talk that he has admitted publicly to wanting a divorce.

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?

Jon cheating on Kate (again???)

jongosselinAccording to multiple reports, Jon Gosselin, fan favorite on TLC’s Jon and Kate Plus 8, was recently spotted leaving the Legend’s Lounge in Pennsylvania with another woman at 2am.  Sources say Jon was not wearing his wedding band (Seriously, is there anyone out there who doesn’t know this guy is married? Who is he trying to fool??).  As soon as Jon realized he had been spotted, he yelled to the young lady, “Get in the car!”.  The two were in such a rush to get away, they didn’t even have time to switch on their headlights.

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?

Jon and the Co-eds

joncoedsFebruary 6, 2009 – Love is in the air with Valentine’s Day just around the corner.  Jon Gosselin spends this evening doing what any ordinary father of eight and loving husband (to wife Kate Gosselin) would do….parties with drunken co-eds!!

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!

Surviving Sextuplets & Twins

ep1This is not an actual episode in the series, but rather a one-hour documentary which aired before the series Jon and Kate Plus 8 was picked up by TLC.

In this special we are introduced to Jon and Kate Gosselin, their twins Mady and Cara, as well as the sextuplets: Aaden, Collin and Joel (the boys) and Hannah, Leah and Alexis (the girls).  In a later episode we learn the sextuplets (or “little kids” as they are reffered to throughout the series) were named alphabetically from this list in order of their birth.
