Sep 29 2009Jon Gosselin dropped from Jon & Kate Plus 8, tries to stop divorce


Jon Gosselin, The Marlboro Man of Mediocre Trim, has been axed from his own reality show which will now be called Kate Plus 8, according to Us Magazine:

It will continue to focus on the lives of the young Gosselin twins, 5, and 8-year-old sextuplets but with a deeper focus on Kate's role as a single mother.
"Given the recent changes in the family dynamics, it only makes sense for us to refresh and recalibrate the program to keep pace with the family," TLC president Eileen O'Neill said in a statement. "The family has evolved and we are attempting to evolve with it; we feel that Kate's journey really resonates with our viewers."
She added that the network is in development on a Kate project for 2010.

Coincidentally, InTouch reports Jon has filed papers this morning to delay the divorce another 90 days so communication between him and Kate can improve:

"This will enable Kate and me to restore our relationship as cooperative parents and to open up our lines of communication. I hope that she will be as receptive and enthusiastic as I am to do what is best for our family." He also pleaded with her to set aside their anger so they can start interacting amicably. "I would like to get back with Kate as a partner in parenting," Jon tells In Touch. "Even though we were heading for a divorce, it appeared that Kate had been suffering from this divorce as much as I had. That's why I asked my attorney to put the brakes on this divorce so I could try to regain control over the future of our family. So Kate and I could join on a cooperative course that would benefit our family -- not destroy it."

Read: "Parents should really exploit their children as a team, and also, how the fuck am I supposed to bang marginally attractive women on ATVs without a reality TV gravy train? You're killing me here."

WHAT A JERK

lol they got the age of the kids wrong. way to go Us.

Damn them are some ugly shoes

FINALLY! The douche gets what he deserves. Next stop, he'll have an STD - get on the herpes train, Jon, CHOO! CHOO!

@3 Puke, those are the type of status symbol "epic fail" shoes that douchebags who never had any taste, or class, purchase when suddenly they come into money (and no idea how to spend or save it wisely, but instead fall prey to tacky, gimmicky shit like those turd ass shoes)....

It's about fucking time that loser gets canned from his stupid ass show.
I hope no one watches Kate's show too.
Those kids need to get out of the limelight and have a normal life.

WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN!

:)

The wheel just fell off the gravy train Jon. His attorney will make sure that badger ass wife of his will be paying.

I wish this train wreck would end but TLC is sucking the life out of idiots who watch this crap and the Duggar's "My Wife's Vagina is a Clown Car" and "Pedophile Bait on Stage."

@#2, Cookie, Good one - that's why US is a premier publication

FINALLY, It was about time they pulled him out of the show!

Without the show, Hailey and all the others will be looking the other way. What a loser he is. Good bye. Hope he doesn't get the delay, cause his actions speak way louder than his words.

haha - "The Marlboro Man of Mediocre Trim" will be known now as the "The Marlboro Man of no Trim"

LMAO. I saw the head line on another website, and it simply said "TLC's 'Jon and Kate' to be Renamed 'Kate Plus Eight'".

And I swear on a stack, my first thought was "Well now, let's se how long it is before he tries to get back with her, since this will mark the end of his gravy train... and the end of the string of ugly trim he seems to attract.

*yawn*

Do people really watch this drivel?

He should have put some of that stomach blubber in Hailey's chest, that way they would have bonded forever. Or at least until she wanted them bigger for the next guy. He is a loser.

There should be a spinoff show. "Jon Plus 8 Every Other Weekend"

Wait... So even though they are both a couple of spoiled twats, the lady president shit cans the guy? Yeah, cuz that's not completely sexist or anything. These two deserve each, and breaking up the band is a bad idea.

'Kate plus 8' is doomed without the controversy of an immature pudgy punk father banging homely chicks. That was the hook. Watching a freaky bitch with a funky hairdo wrangle 8 kids will be about as entertaining as the Food Network.

his face looks like a troll doll. since he's wasting all of his money it's a good bet he'll be pumping gas in Koreatown pretty soon.

LOOK AT HIS SHOES, LMFAO.
Seriously who wears shit like that, then again he does wear Ed Hardy crap enough said. What a tool.

Guys, you are missing the point.

a.) Regardless if this guy is a douche or not, it shows that fathers are second class in this world. Think about it.

b.) He still get's the gravy train...anything Kate makes going forward, he gets 50%. He is the one with no job, not her, so he's all set. He just needs some good lawyers to make sure he gets paid. I hope Kate pays through the nose for the rest of her life, just like guys do when the woman decides to leave.

Kate Plus 8? Are you serious?

Focusing on Kate as a parent? Are you really serious??

Yeah, must be hard when you've got that many kids and behind the scenes everyone is taking care of everything for you so your fake reality show looks real.

And I don't care if Jon is the model parent; he is still a parent and the only reason people are looking down on him is because he decided to move on with his life after being held back a year in a loveless marriage because his wife wanted to continue exploiting their children on the fake show.

1) What exactly has Jon done wrong?

2) What exactly has Kate done right?

I think those are professional kickball shoes.

I, for one, am excited for the new season of John Minus Nine! The season opener should have him windsurfing, banging skanks, ATVing in national parks, and pounding shots of tequila in Cabo! You know, bachelor stuff. That would be an awesome show!

those are shoes? i thought he walked out in his funky looking socks! and look at that gut. what a loser.

i thought he came out wearing socks. i didnt know those are shoes. i wouldnt be surprised if he commits suicide someday. he looks so fucking miserable

Those are mens Gucci shoes. Google "mens Gucci shoes" if you don't believe me.

he shoulda stayed together with her for at least 2 more years and stash his money somewhere then leave her bitch-ass bitchass when shes not looking. now he got nothin cuz he spends his money on expensive tshirts and ugly argyle socks that look like ugly shoes...or is it the other way around? anyway. he will hang himself one day when he realizes he shuda just stuck around until hes ready to kill the bitch.

They reversed the ages of the kids - the sextuplets are 5, the twins are 8.

Jon got himself kicked off the show because of his antics - partying and sleeping around, bashing Kate and revealing secrets about the show in interviews. He only has himself to blame.

Divorce looks good on Kate, despite the reverse mullet which I hate. Jon on the other hand looks like he's been drinking his weight in beer.

Now he wants to delay the divorce so he can take 50% of Kate's earning for a further 3 months. This guy is a total deadbeat loser.

I know that no one really cares, but they have the ages of the kids bass ackwards - the sextuplets are 5, the twins are 8.

The only reason Jon wants to delay the divorce is so he can take half of Kate's earnings for another 90 days. He probably spent most of whatever money he had on trips to the Hamptons with Hailey and Ed Hardy shirts. You don't need to be married to work on your relationship as co-parents, in fact finalizing the divorce will probably help to further that along because all the stress associates with the divorce proceedings will be gone allowing everyone to focus on the new relatinship going forward.

By the way, despite the crazy reverse mullet which I hate, divorce looks good on Kate. She's looking very cute and toned. Jon looks like he's been drinking his weight in beer.

In other news, the word 'douchebag' is being retired in Jon Gosselin's honor. A spokeperson for The Oxford Dictionary stated 'Referring to anyone else as a douchebag would dilute the true meaning of the word. Therefore, we are recommending that the word be retired and be brought out of retirement for the sole purpose of writing it on his headstone.'

Well there you have it, DUMB ASS - the gravy train dropped you. Now you have to get a REAL job, ASSHOLE!!

why doesn't TLC just give up on it already. the only people interested in seeing this trainwreck of a family/show are people just like Kate or Jon, which clearly is a very small percentage of the US...it's only a publicity ploy to try and get people to watch it again. won't work. they need to let those children be children without cameras in their faces all the time. I guess they don't get people WERE interested when they were BABIES. but how long can you drag a story out when there isn't a story beyond 'i planted a gazillion babies in my uterus now pay me'?

Its going to cost him but he's still better off not having to wake up each day next to the bitch hog.

.

14:57, 14:58, 14:59 ...

aw poor Jon... dropped from his own show. What a loser! It just goes to show what a little money and 5 minutes o f fame can do to an average person.

So you're telling me a chubby schmoe blowing a fast-disappearing sum of cash while trying to score with average-at-best women doesn't resonate with viewers?

That's reality television, baby.

I'm a bit surprised but there's some logic.Divorced parents don't usually run a reality show together.

Looking at this asshole, makes me want to be a lesbian!!!!

This guy IS deadbeat loser. Where was his desire for better communication before he got axed? He should get a job & help support his kids.

Jon is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but Kate is one hell on wheels bitch! A man can only take so much! How could they possibly stay together? He is willing to spend time with his kids. Let him, Kate! Kate is the money grabbing, "LET'S BE CHRISTIAN IF IT GETS US SOME BUCKS" role- model Mom.

Along with #14

"Jon Plus Two 4s"

#6 and 7 nailed it. Those kids are being sacrificed on the alter of their parents egos and greed. I hope somebody is putting money away for the future therapist bills.

BWA-to the-AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!

How long before his river of free pussy dries up? I wonder if Vegas will take odds on a bet like that.

Yes please someone get this rhesus out of my E-life...

My bad. I think those are _Gucci_ professional kickball shoes.

interesting that even when a guy has proven himself a horrible family man or man in general by screwing everything in site which he gets publicity from, and spending thousands upon thousands of college money for his kids on these trashy girls that people are still saying Kate is to blame for his actions. Grow up people even if Kate's a big bitch that doesn't excuse Jon's philandering fat ass ways. The guy showed his true colors, who would want a dad that says oh your mother is to blame for me getting gonorrhea and why I need to crash on your couch for a couple of days.

oops *Kate is*

This guy is such a douche that now that he is going to be penniless, I'm sure he'll try to sue Kate for spousal support.

Wow, a fat half-breed-gook who smokes. What a fucking catch.

Ladies, get in line.

Jon minus crazzy bitch and eventual murder suicide

F U JOHN & KATE I USED TO LIKE YOU SHOW BUT NOW YOU ARE BOTH DOUCHERS

#40 - Brilliant!

Now that his golden goose has stopped laying eggs, he's being nice to Kate. He's ruined himself. I hope she gets everyything and he has to wait tables at TGIFriday's from now on. What a clueless idiot!

How can US Weekly not know the proper ages of the kids in the show? Don't they report on this basically every day?

#19, Joe, when men step up to the plate and actually take responsibility, then they won't be considered "second class." But until then, I'll take my coffee with two lumps of sugar and a splash of half and half.

Jon minus Kate minus 8

@55,

Most men take responsibility. They are at "the plate" every bad, being hit by pitch after pitch.

It's cunty attitudes like yours that perpetuate the woman's denial that they have anything to do with the situation. Face the simple fact - she wouldn't fuck her man, and figured that was okay. Guess what? It's not. Add to that all the harpyness, and I'm surprised he didn't crack sooner.

The worst part is the Kate decided long, long ago to ditch him, after the $$ became very clear to her, and she could go from fugly trailer trash to red carpet star on the backs of her kids. He was still trying to make it work, but he stupidly thought she was vested in the trying to work it out. She wasn't, fucked the bodyguard, and he just said, the hell with this.

As I said, the guy's no prize to me, but I've seen this play out over and over with people who are not on a reality show.

You can take you coffee anyway you like it, just don't spill on the carpet as I fuck-start your head.

OOPS should have thought of that 6 months ago ! Dip shit ! Do you think these women are going to be around now that your not on the show . What a fool !

I figured the shoes were designer but they don't go with his current look.

Couture does not go with everything!

Well, all is not lost for Jon, he can head over to the Tuddles place and build choppers for a living. he can still be in the limelight...... Tuddles plus 1

Smokers suck.

Smokers suck.

"fuck-start your head". awesome.

"I would like to get back with Kate as a partner in parenting," This said after stating on national tv that she was someone he "despised".
Someday, you sad, inadequate little man, you will have to look your children in the eyes and explain to them why you would say that about their mother to millions of strangers.

Everytime I watch that show, it's one of them taking the kids on vacation somewhere. Do those kids every actually go to school?

Nice shoes buddy... Did he take those from Kate as part of the settlement?

single mother...rofl, yea just ignore the 5 nannies in the background while kate runs around the country promoting herself

Just because Kate is a mom (even of 8) doesn't mean she can't also have a career. Sure, there will be hired help involved, but how is that any different than other celebrity moms out there? Hell, how is it any different than other high-paying career moms (layers, doctors, businesswomen)? Clearly they're doing it for the $$. I say more power to them.

Of course Kate is promoting herself! Show business is fickle, with good chances she won't make this kind of money again. Might as well strike while the iron's hot. In Kate's situation, she has 8 kids who may go to college one day (about $35K per year for private school x 4 years x 8 kids = over $1.1 million!) - you think Jon will contribute to that? He'll have pissed away all his earnings by then! I see nothing wrong with working the grind now to provide for your kids later. And if she makes enough to pamper herself as well... as long as the kids are set first, then good for her!

I think Kate should do what she has to do. since she needs the money for the children why not have the show as long as it's not hurting the children. I wonder if anyone has asked the kids what they want to do. If Jon wants to act the way he does so be it, but he needs to be a little more private about it. If he's horny go for it but stop posing for the photos. I feel for any child that has to go through their parents getting a divorce so why should these children be any different. Sure Kate appears very demanding but she knows what she wants and I admire her for that. I bet she has always been like that I bet having the children didn't change her that much except for wanting to provide for them. I'm a nurse also and it's hard work and I know that I could not continue no matter how many nannies I had to take care of the kids it still takes a toll on you. If this is the job she wants then HAY go for it
