Jon fights back

Be careful what you wish for, Jon Gosselin!

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……..

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?
