Jon Gosselin sues TLC
Jon Gosselin has filed a $5 million lawsuit against TLC claiming that the network dedicated to learning damaged his reputation and career by preventing him from working with other media outlets. He also claims in his lawsuit that TLC owes him $175,000 for Jon and Kate Plus Eight episodes that have already been aired. In accordance with a contract he and his soon to be ex-wife signed in 2008, he gets $22,500 for each half-hour episode and $45,000 for each one-hour episode.
I’m not sure he even has to be in the episode to get the money. TLC probably didn’t foresee a future where Jon and Kate would be separated and no longer appearing together on the show.
Jon Gosselin filed the lawsuit here in Maryland at the District Court in Rockville, where Discovery Communications, TLC’s parent company, is headquartered.
Since Jon Gosselin is under contract with TLC, it’s a shame that they cannot simply reassign him to another show on the network. I’m sure I’m not the only one that would get a real kick out of seeing Jon work as a deckhand on The Deadliest Catch. After spending 48 hours on his feet pulling up crab pots in below freezing temperatures on the Bering Sea, he might just decide that being married to Kate isn’t so bad after all.
Jon Gosselin drained the marital bank account
Kate Gosselin says that her soon-to-be ex-husband Jon Gosselin withdrew more than $200,000 from the couple’s joint bank account last week without her knowledge, leaving her with only a mere $1,000. She told NBC that she now has a stack of bills that need to be paid and she has no way of paying them.
Isn’t this just what people do when they go through a divorce? One spouse drains the bank account before the other spouse thinks of doing themselves?
Evidently a judge issued an order a while back stating that neither Gosselin could take money out without first getting it approved by the court, but what does something like that mean to Jon Gosselin? He’s a rebel. He wears Ed Hardy shirts adorned with tigers and dragons. He smokes cigarettes and rides ATVs. He dates teenage whores and wears studs in both earlobes.
Rules and judges are for squares, and Jon Gosselin ain’t no square.
He’s also out of a job. Not that he really had a job, but it was announced last week the TLC is dropping his name from the show. Instead of Jon & Kate Plus 8, the show will now be called Kate Plus 8.
‘Jon & Kate Plus 8′ renamed ‘Kate Plus 8′
The train wreak of a TV show that is known as Jon & Kate Plus 8 has changed it’s name to just Kate Plus 8. Who didn’t see this coming? I figured the show was getting a name change as soon as Jon Gosselin left his wife Kate and started running around acting like a weirdo with girls practicably just out of high school.
Entertainers have to know their audience. They have to know what their audience expects of them and do their best to match those expectations. That means if you are an evangelical preacher, you can’t get caught buying methamphetamine from a gay prostitute like that self-hater Ted Haggard did. His audience, people that attended his church, would not put up with stuff that. He should have known that. Jon Gosselin’s audience consisted of married women in their 30’s and 40’s. He should have thought of them before he started running around wearing those crappy looking Ed Hardy clothes. His audience probably didn’t appreciate it much when he started publicly catting around with the 22-year old daughter of his wife’s plastic surgeon.
Hopefully Kate Gosselin will hit him up for a bazillion dollars a month in child support. How much do men have to pay for eight kids? Normally the only men that have to pay child support for that many kids play in the NFL.
Smoking is now officially no longer cool
Kids today need no further proof that smoking is bad than to see this photo of Jon Gosselin sitting on top a ATV with a real life cancer stick dangling out of his mouth. See kids, smoking is so stupid, the Hawaiian looking guy on that reality show with all the kids does it. Smoking ain’t cool, Jon Gosselin does it.
It’s a powerful anti-smoking message to send to our nation’s youth, or to anyone else that doesn’t want to look like a tard. Like Jon Gosselin.
Jon and Kate call it quits
Shocker of all shockers, Jon and Kate Gosselin are legally separating. They filled papers and everything.
If you have never watched their reality show, Jon and Kate Plus 8 and you were only were going by what you’ve seen in the tabloids (or this video) you might just think that Kate Gosselin is the victim in all this.
I can assure you that she is not.
She has got to be one of the meanest, nastiest woman to have ever appeared on the reality TV show. And that’s saying a lot. I don’t know who she treats worse – her soon to be ex-husband or her eight kids.
They both say in this video that they are going to share custody of their eight children and that the children will remain living in the home while the parents rotate in and out. If you’ve watched the show, you know that Kate is rarely ever home. She’s usually traveling around giving speeches on how to be a terrific mother or to pimp one of her books.
My guess is that they will both end of seeking sole custody of the eight kids. The parent that doesn’t get custody will end up owing the other parent about a bazillion dollars in child support every month. That could be problematic since neither Jon or Kate has a job.
What’s The Learning Channel teaching with ‘Jon & Kate Plus 8′?
For the life of me, I cannot figure out what exactly The Learning Channel is trying to teach people with it’s hit reality show Jon & Kate Plus 8. Whatever it is, it must be really important. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be on The Learning Channel. It claims to be the only television network dedicated to lifelong learning for viewers who want to grow up, not old.
From what I can tell, the only thing people can learn from Jon & Kate Plus 8 is that men should avoid marrying bitchy women addicted to fertility drugs. That’s the only thing I’ve ever learned from the show. Not that I needed that particular lesson taught to me.
Jon and Kate Gosselin have been in the tabloids lately because of rumors that Jon and Kate have essentially split up. They are also saying that Jon is seeing another woman. I don’t know if that’s true, but I say anything he can do that stops him from putting the business end of a loaded shotgun in his mouth, is more than okay. At least I’m not going to judge him for it.
