Hello Gosselin fans! Well I guess we know now not to believe anything Jon's lawyer says.. While he adamantly told the media including Showbiz Tonight that the divorce wouldn't be final until early 2010, we know realize that he was full of it. It's over and done with. And the new chapter begins. If you see him on RADAR ONLINE telling his new BFF's the paps that he knows "nothing about it.." well then you know hes now full of it too. Because we all know he gets Google Alerts of any article on him every hour! Kate on the other hand is doing just fine. Shes on Jay Leno tonight at 10pm and was just named Peoples "25 most Intriguing People" on Newsstands Today! Jon & Kate Gosselin Divorced! People.com
It's over: Having filed the papers in June, Jon and Kate Gosselin have received the judge's signature to make official the finish of their 10-year marriage. The divorce was announced midday Friday. Earlier that morning, a source close to the situation told PEOPLE that "the divorce papers are sitting on a desk, waiting to be signed." "I am very relieved that our divorce has been finalized, and I look forward to the New Year, focusing on the children," Kate said in a statement. "On behalf of myself and my legal team, I want to express my deep appreciation to the Judge and his staff, as well as to the arbitrator, for resolving this case." She added: "This has been a challenging transition for all of us, but I am confident that we will move ahead with the important task of restructuring our lives."
The dissolution of the nationally famous union was expected to become legal before the beginning of 2010, despite remarks from Jon's attorney that the case may drag on until next year. Details of the split have been ironed out, though MSNBC said late Thursday night that an issue developed over Jon's .38 pistol, which reportedly was fired on the Gosselin's Wernersville, Penn., property. The judge has subsequently banned the weapon, says the story. Still to be seen is what sort of TLC show evolves from the Gosselin franchise. A source close to Kate Gosselin tells PEOPLE that the new show will spotlight only the mother of eight, not the former couple's children.
Jon Gosselin -- Backed Into a Corner:TMZ.COM Jon Gosselin is in immediate financial trouble now that his divorce from Kate Gosselin is final ... because he got nailed with huge child support payments and has no real way of paying ... sources tell TMZ.We've learned under the arbitrator's award, Jon must make huge child support payments -- we're told 5 figures a month. And here's the problem. TLC has now shut down Jon's ability to take outside jobs. The irony -- he did himself in.

That amount was deducted from his piece of the settlement.As for Jon's claim that Kate should be docked for money she withdrew ... we've learned Jon struck out. The arbitrator determined every penny she withdrew was for the benefit of the kids.Under the terms of the divorce decree, Kate has primary custody and Jon gets visitation -- both Jon and Kate agreed to that in advance. And, they agreed, neither party would get spousal support. Score a big one for Mark Momjian, Kate's lawyer.
Kate Gosselin Last Night On Jay Leno: Dancing w/the Stars & Lady Gaga??? (Skip to the 30:00 mark)
Hello Gosselin fans! As shocking as this sounds, I will say it anyway. I was very happy that all things Gosselin has remained quiet for a while. Can you believe it? I wanted the haters to move on, the lips of the trolls to stop foaming. There was just so much hate for this family simply from jealousy and over-exposure, that I was a good idea for everyone to step back a bit. Not that Jon has a choice. You knows he's destined for "I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here". Kate on the other hand, is still quietly working hard, trying to focus on prospects for the new year. And even though the haters feel like they have some type of duty to protect kids they don't know or really care about, everyone seems to be happy the kids are off TV. Except apparently, the kids.
I for one, have always felt overwhelmed & stressed during this short month between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I don't have enough time, never enough money, never enough of myself for my family, to make it through the month without wanting to scream. I seem to always have too much on my plate, and then the sore throats start. I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels that way.. I hope tonight to take a breath and not attack the next person that bumps into me or cuts me off on the road on the way to work or the mall. Seasons Greetings! Fox411 Exclusive: Jon Gosselin is broke, can't pay legal bills:Fox411.com
It sounds like money is tight for former reality dad Jon Gosselin. Last week, TLC was granted a preliminary injunction that forced Jon to stop making public appearances. Now a source close to Gosselin tells Fox411.com that the decision was a serious blow to the livelihood of the former “Jon and Kate Plus 8” star. "Jon's in pretty serious financial trouble because his plan for making money was shut down in court,” the insider said. “He has warned his lawyers that he can't pay them and if he doesn't succeed against TLC, he will have no funds. He's even gone so far as to say that if they want to be paid, they will have to sue him."
Those lawyers are part of a father/son team that was introduced to Gosselin by Michael Lohan, says the insider. "Mark and Mike Heller were brought in because Michael Lohan was involved, and he convinced them to join Jon's team early on in the summer,” the source said. “Lohan wanted to latch onto Jon and involved many people he knew. He convinced them Jon was going to have a successful career after the show.” Mike Heller is the CEO of Talent Resources, which manages Jon Gosselin, and Mark Heller is Jon Gosselin’s New York lawyer. But it wasn’t just Michael Lohan, currently having trouble himself, fueling the enthusiasm around the TV dad. Gosselin also led his lawyers to believe that he had money in his various accounts, said the source.
Now Gosselin's bills are stacking up and he needs to get a legitimate job, but the insider says he is making no effort to get one. "It's a good thing Kate Gosselin has been put in charge of the family funds that provide for the couple's eight children," the insider says. "She is the responsible parent." Reps for the Hellers deny any problems with Gosselin. “Jon Gosselin’s New York lawyer has the highest regard for Jon Gosselin and will continue to work for Jon for as long as he requires their services," the rep said in a written statement to Fox411.com "The Hellers have no concern relevant to being paid by Jon for their services and see no circumstances under which they would ever sue Jon."
“This past year, Jon Gosselin was the most photographed man in America and appeared in more magazines than any other reality TV star," the statement continues. "Wherever he goes, there is an outpouring of love for him from his fans. And there is no doubt that he has a bright and shining career ahead of him.”
Kate Gosselin On Jay Leno This Friday!

Kate Gosselin & ElinNordegren - strong women who create loving homes despite wayward husbands:Examiner.com(I know we already discussed in the comments section this post, but I really l
Kate Gosselin and ElinNordegren are showing us they are strong women who are creating loving homes despite wayward husbands. If you are looking for male role models both Jon Gosselin and now Tiger Woods are not examples. However, if you are looking for strong female role models take a good look at both Kate Gosselin and ElinNordegren.
ElinNordegren was taking care of business and taking the dogs for a ride, just a few days after her husband's accident . She was recently seen getting gas, while taking her children and family to a Christmas Party. We have not seen Tiger since he wrapped his SUV around a tree. He did manage to put together a press release, no doubt written by a professional that did say a few kind words about his wife. In 2007, Tiger reportedly missed his daughter Sam's baptism to attend a charity event.
Reality star, Kate Gosselin, now has primary custody of her children, has found herself another job after Jon had a hissy fit and stopped the show, when his name was taken off the title. We doubt, he bothered to tell Kate she would suddenly have no income to feed their eight children. This, after he took $180 grand out of the family bank account and had to be forced to put it back by a judge. Jon could not be bothered to show up to his court date with their former employer.
Women are without a doubt the keepers of home. While men are running around puffing up their egos and collecting trophy's, these women, are planning birthday parties and wiping snotty noses. Worrying about school clothes, Christmas decorations and school tuitions. They are planning family get togethers and keeping their minds focused firmly on their children.
