IVILLAGE.COM (Photos: INF) Remember Kate Gosselin's recent Tonight Show appearance when she and Jay Leno wondered aloud whether Jon Gosselin had gotten a job? Well, the answer is still no; however, we've just learned that Gosselin has seemingly developed a sophisticated three-pronged financial strategy in order to support his eight children. According to Us Weekly, Jon's planned sources of income include: 1. A rich girlfriend. According to "a Gosselin insider," Jon, 33, has stopped trolling college campuses for dates and is now seeing an older Washington, D.C., woman with cash in the bank. "She's rich," says the source, "and he's hoping to have her back one of his projects." 2. Pitching a reality show. Apparently, Jon has been knocking down TLC's door trying to get his own show. Sources say he's so desperate, he's reportedly even lobbied to costar in ex-wife Kate's upcoming show Twist of Kate. 3. Selling his car. Need some wheels? Jon's BMW will soon be up for grabs; he's selling it for $25K (a $5,000 loss). So while Kate works on lining up post-Dancing with the Stars sources of income, Jon is selling his possessions and milking his girlfriend for money. If that's how he's planning on providing for his eight kids, it's a good thing he backed off on that custody lawsuit!
Thank You John Gosselin! By Chloe MelasPopeater.com
Jon, I have to say I’m pleased to see you attempting to get along with your ex wife Kate AND stepping up to take care of your eight little ones! Jon Gosselin, you actually said AND did the right thing! Not only did you fire your wacko blabbermouth attorney Anthony List — you admitted to TMZ that you never really wanted to get primary custody of your eight little Gosselins- you just wanted to have more liberal visitation rights.. Now we’re talking! You’re starting to make some sense because filing for custody was absurd to begin with! You hired Anthony because he was a friend of your fathers’ but after he filed the custody lawsuit against your ex-wife Kate Gosselin which was filled with errors, you realized you’d made a poor decision. You tweeted Apr. 22 that you fired Anthony Apr.and a source close to you tells us you’re furious with Anthony. “Jon is really upset because what Anthony has been doing is illegal,” says our source. “He’s threatening to file a a suit with the bar association,” against Anthony.
Jon — I have to tell you I’m happy to hear you’re ridding yourself of people that make you look like nothing more than a big dope. AND I’m over the moon that you’re looking for a job! “I’m trying to find a job … I would like a job in some aspect of TV, probably as a host.” Well … let’s not get ahead of ourselves! I know you’re saying you can’t afford the $22,000 a month child suport so you’re trying to make some extra cash by selling your BMW but maybe you should run out and grab a 9-5 in the mean time … just a thought. Jon, you’re making steps in the right direction and it’s about time!
Kate Gosselin is always on the go: the reality TV mom, fresh off her stint on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars, returned to her Wernersville, Pennsylvania, home Thursday, but left quickly after. Kate was accompanied by her bodyguard Steve Neild and her kids. She only stayed at the house for about an hour, playing with her children, while Neild packed up her limousine for another trip, this time to New York. Kate was snapped bidding farewell to her kids before setting off to the Big Apple with her trusty bodyguard
Jon Gosselin working things out with Kate 'amicably':USAToday.com
Jon Gosselin's lawyer is being quoted by TMZ as saying that Jon's custody battle is continuing in court, moving forward with the "absentee mom" argument even thought Kate is no longer on Dancing With The Stars.
But soon after the TMZ story hit the Web, Jon took to Twitter to set the record straight. He tweets: "Mr. Anthony List Sr., Esq. is not my representing attorney; I terminated him on April 15, 2010.He has no legal right to speak to the press or anyone on my behalf. Kate, her attorneys and I are moving forward to work out things privately and amicably."
USMAGAZINE.COM: After five brutal weeks of dancing, Kate Gosselin was sent home packing on ABC's Dancing With the Stars Tuesday. The reality star, 35, and partner Tony Dolovani -- who had the lowest score, 15, on Monday's show -- were in the bottom two along with Pamela Anderson & her partner Damian Whitewood. When her name was announced, she was speechless. "I need a minute," she said as she wiped tears from her eyes.
Dolovani, 36, then spoke. Despite off-camera spats, he said he was "proud of Kate. I know she gets a lot of criticism out there ... She has eight kids and is a single mom ... she showed up every single day. I thought [she] danced beautifully." Gosselin then composed herself and said her ousting was "ok. I am very honored to have been here ... It was a good experience." She added, "I cannot wait to watch the rest of these people perform Monday ... I've really grown to love everyone." She finally thanked her fans for voting for her despite low scores from the judges. Said Gosselin, "Thank you for believing in me probably more than I believed in myself."
US MAGAZINE: Kate Gosselin says her spirits are down after judges once again ripped into her on Monday's Dancing With the Stars. The reality mom, 35, was at the bottom of the pack with a score of 15 for her fox trot. Judge Bruno Tonioli told her partner Tony Dovolani that he would have been better off dancing with "a coat hanger." After the show, Gosselin told Entertainment Tonight that the judges' remarks definitely got to her. "I had fun, and they didn't seem to notice," she said. "It's starting to creep in a little bit. Tonight, I was trying to hold back horrible emotions ... probably not on live TV should I be standing there crying in front of the judges ... It's getting a little difficult. I'm depressed, sort of." Dovolani, 36, agreed, saying he had been having "fun -- up until the judges' part." What part of the judges' remarks will Gosselin take as encouragement? Said the mom (who claims she didn't rehearse as much because her eight kids were visiting L.A. last week): "The fact that Carrie Ann [Inaba] said they there was a teeny bit of gracefulness [in my routine]." Tell Us: Are judges too mean or are they fair?
Hello Gosselin Fans! It's "movie week" on Dancing With The Stars"! And even though I love George Lopez, he has a good idea. He has set up a web site called KeepKate.com to keep Kate Gosselin as his guilty pleasure on the show. For his take and a good laugh you can see the clip below and check out his site. Hey, you do what you gotta do! I may not be happy with the way he makes fun of her, but he does have a point!
Why is America having a hate affair with Kate Gosselin? She seems, at times to generate more controversy then the health care bill. But, why? From what I can read, Kate’s parenting skills, attributes as a wife, employment choices and personality are embedded under the skin of the Kate haters. For the life of me I can’t figure out why. Here’s a women who is rearing eight children, two sets of multiples mind you, who appear to be pretty darn well-balanced kids. She manages to feed, cloth, and nurture them all within the boundaries of a legal day’s work and all she is met with is criticism. Author of parenting books, family friendly reality show, Dancing with the Stars, these hardly scream detrimental behavior. Is it because she’s not a movie star? Why are accusation of craving attention and wanting the good life being throw at Kate because she works in the entertainment industry? Don’t we all want attention? Don’t we all want to be successful? I think Kate’s been pretty intuitive with finding ways to use her skill set to support her family. Giving birth to twins then sextuplets isn’t an everyday event, and finding yourself in that situation has to lead to monumental changes in your life. The realities of supporting a large family in today’s economically depressed times may require creatively thinking outside the box. It doesn’t appear Jon, Kate’s ex-husband, is in any hurry to be gainfully employed, so someone has to bring home the bacon. Isn’t Kate entitled to reach for the brass ring and see what opportunities lay ahead of her? If Kate were not a public figure and was employed as a high profile executive for some fortune 500 company that required her to jet set the world, would the public be equally critical of her? She would more likely be praised for being a powerful, liberated woman. So, what is really behind the Kate Hate, please America explain it to me.
