My point is that it's not sad or shameful. If dude can go back to work in something outside of reality tv, i.e. working for a corporation like Ed Hardy, I say more power to him. I don't understand why somebody would get put down for working within the corporate framework vs. snagging every second the can get on reality tv. When their show has run its' course, I say fine, let 'em move on and do other things. Not that anybody gives two shits what I think, but, I'd rather see Kate hawking her $16 Healthtex outfits and him back in an office where he says he's most comfortable rather them aspiring to be the next Heidi and Spencer Pratt. Enough of that, already.

Well at the end of the day, we don't know who said or did what with regards to affairs behind closed doors, and who was seeing who and at what time, because we didn't live with them. So as far as I'm concerned, they're both blockheads, and the marriage clearly wasn't working, so everybody's moved on.

Mid life crisis?

Dude simply escaped a horrible woman and is now doing what he wants with his personal life - he's entitled to that. The only thing he needs to do is take care of his children, he doesn't owe that cunt a thing.

Ok, so he may have had an affair and that's not cool but this is definitely a case where I can understand it happening. At least he finally grew the balls to leave her.

JustErin said:

Agreed.

Ottensen said:

My only thought is perhaps if he had grown some balls earlier he would have been able to save his marriage or perhaps reason with Kate. Not let her always have her way. And yes, he is entitled to do what he wants with his life, but when a man is in his 30s, with 8 kids and is out partying with college girls (or those just out of college) is the definition of a mid-lfe crisis. He should be concerned with the welfare of his children. I think he is doing now what he didn't get to do in his 20s.

I tried looking for this online, but...lastnight on one of those rag shows, I believe first edition. They showed the paparazzi following Kate at the grocery store, asking her if she had seen the new picture of Jon and his new gal. Now that's just rude.

JustErin said:

I agree as well but I would hope he wouldn't put this relationship on display for the sake of his kids. The are probably confused enough and don't need to be exposed to another "mother" if this Jon guy isn't sure she's "the one". Know what I mean?

I never watched this show.

What was wrong with this Kate woman? What was she like.
Try to relate her to an orger so I get a better picture if possible as to why the marriage fell apart.

Thanks.

oh no

They're both pathetic human beings. Exposing their kids to not only a ridiculous reality show and now this farce is beyond ludicrous. In the end money talks and bullshit walks but money doesn't buy taste, that hairdo of hers and his style proves this theory.

errant said:

Oh shit!!!

But we don't know if he's exposing this chick to is kids as another mother or potential one. One thing I can see clearly is that the American media has grown too damned invasive. These folks went all the way across the ocean to a coastal resort town where Americans aren't exactly flocking to in great abundance. For me it's less putting this on display versus "damn, how the fuck did they track him down like this?" It's high season over here now in terms of travel costs, which says to me folks are going out of their way to keep up their stalkerazzi antics so they can keep this reality story in the news and make dough off of it. If he wasn't seriously trying to get the heck outta Dodge to be with his lady friend, it would've been hella easier to drop 6,000 miles off his travel itenerary and just head to the Gulf coast or some Florida key. Shoot, these days you could probably fly to mars, and if you're in the news,some fool is going to track you down to snap your pic. I wouldn't mistake that for parading a new significant other around, though....anyhooo...

Hahaha!

I just heard on the radio that they are now engaged and the ring is a skull surrounded in black diamonds.

Awwww....

JustErin said:

wtf? yep mid life crisis. does he have tattoos yet?

HEAVEN ON EARTH




HELL ON EARTH

Shame though that this is dragged out with 8 little kids in the middle.

DesireeNevermind said:

How can it be a midlife crisis at his age? He's not really acting out of the norm for someone his age.

JustErin said:

Nope he's acting out of the norm for someone his age with 8 kids and a soon to be ex-wife.

DesireeNevermind said:

I totally disagree.

Of course

Jon Gosselin Fashions Himself a Designer
His reality show may have ended his marriage, but it's also giving Jon Gosselin a douchey clothing line for kids.
Jon -- with his new 22-year-old GF Hailey Glassman by his side -- has been partying up in St. Tropez with bedazzler extraordinaire Christian Audigier and are going into the children's fashion biz together -- with a line that might even be featured at Kmart. The best part, Jon's eight rugrats will be used as models for the clothing line.

Those poor kids need more fame about as much as they do a tacky, rhinestoned dragon and skeleton t-shirt.

PaisleyPark5083 said:

The company already has pr on overtime saying that they do not have plans to collab on kids clothes together.

I don't particularly like Kate but this new girlfriend seems like gross trash. Anybody seen the classy photos she's posted to her Facebook account?

StephaniePlum said:

LOL! No, but I am so not surprised. As I said earlier I knew this girl was in it for her own 15 minutes of fame and not because Jon is such a catch.
