TLC Drops Jon, Keeps Kate Plus Eight

gosselinsnew.jpg

Hmm, wonder what could have prompted them to shed the excess weight?

TLC has announced that its hit reality show Jon & Kate Plus 8 will be renamed Kate Plus Eight, and while the series will continue to follow the lives of the Gosselin kids, it will now focus on Kate's role as a single mother, minus her chubby ex-hubby.

TLC confirmed that Jon will still appear on the show, but not as often.

We don't feel too bad for the reality TV dad though...it looks like he's still got the Divorced Dad's Club project in the works, so fear not, we'll likely be seeing more of him on the tube.

Oh, and this just in...In Touch Weekly reports that Jon JUST submitted a document to a Pennsylvania court-approved arbitrator, which he hopes will suspend his divorce from Kate for 90 days! He tells the mag:

    "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. I would like to get back with Kate as a partner in parenting. 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."

Hmm, is he really trying to salvage his family, or is this just a desperate attempt for more screen time? The timing seems a wee bit coincidental, doesn't it?



Would you be more interested in watching a show about Jon or Kate? Neither?

Stay strong Kate, I think everyone is behind you. Don't let this douche back into you world. Let him be a father to his kids but not on camera. He isn't a good role model for anyone.

Her head has got way to big for being a reality personality - she's a bitch. The guy screwed up though, he will be broke soon, he has blown through a lot of money, this is an effort to make some cash from the channel. I think eventually he will try to get back with him to continue to be in the public eye. The show is a joke anyway and he is a geek.

It sounds like he wants something in writing to get a piece of the pie, the money that Kate will make from her new talk show. He will likely be like K-Fat, go for child support from Kate, another one living off his ex-wife.

9:15 Don't forget he gets HALF and so does she!!!! Trust me they both have enough money now for the next 20 years!

Although I think TLC should have stopped the show alltogether, this is a step in the right direction. Jon is a sometime Dad full-time skirt chaser. My prediction is we will hear more women come forward about their affair with him before he was even separated. The man cares about two things; money and women, his children come a distant third and he has shown it in the last few months.

Though Kate's verbal abuse of Jon was wrong, at the same time you have to really wonder at all the crap she has had to put up with when she was married to him.

Run Kate Run! He put off the divorce because he has recently realized that without Kate and the 8 he is just Jon the Loser.
I think its more about notoriety than money. He's a fame whore. People wouldn't hate him as much if he hadn't slept around with a few different women. Hanging out with Mr. Lohan certainly didn't help him any. Whatever a Lohan touches turns to shite.

Cancel the whole dam show. These two are such a joke. They both will do anything for money. They are so yesterday's news.



Posted by: Anonymous

9:26 - he is spending to much money. At this rate the couple of million that has been made will be gone. Also, he is delaying due to the laws of community property. They will split the assets when they were together, but not earnings after. If she makes millions, he will get a small cut - that's it. He needs to curb his spending and lose the whore of a gf.

Don't you get it they both get a SALARY
OF 37 THOUSAND DOLLARS EACH..YES BOTH...
NOT JUST HER...



Posted by: Anonymous

10:05 Of course they both get salaries, a total of about $3 million each since the show started. They get taxed about half. Sorry but $1.7 mil isn't much when you aren't bringing in other income, have a lot of expenses, agents/pr people, and blowing a lot of cash on cars, trips, and women. I get it very well, do you? Doesn't seem like it at all. His money will run out in 2-3 yrs.



Posted by: Anonymous

good point 10:21 - remember the kids expenses too. There are 8 and they need a trust due to them being on camera.



Posted by: Anonymous

in other words, his new cut throat lawyer needs time to screw Kate out of every penney she ever makes..kids or no kids. Do you think those are HIS words in that press release. Not! And his tweets? OMG he has a PR firm doing those. Those are not his words. PLEASE KateM and the other skanky babysitter...come out with the PROOF he nailed you guys. You must have SOMETHING!



Posted by: Anonymous

I don't think he's "entitled" to anything else now, and I am happy he's gone. I think this decision was made by TLC because of the way he has been skirting around since the separation. Kate's actually tried to keep it together and keep moving forward with the kids. Jon's a fat loser and a poster child for the average crappy guy..



Posted by: THATS HOLLYWOOD

10:21 - trust me, they are not hurting for the moolaa! They are not just getting money for the show, there is a book deal, signings, TV interviews, to appear at the MGM grand, (they tossed down 70 grand for him to be there "why would anyone want to see him is beyound me") most often when he or she travels, it's paid for! Not a dime is out of pocket! Trust me, they are sitting pretty when it comes to the money! They are going to be just fine! The money won't stop coming it, just because he's off the show, get it now?

Whatever Jon did he was separated!!! Kate told him months before it was announced she didnt care who he was with as long as they could keep the show. She wanted out first!! Jon just moved on and made her look bad so she began playing the "poor me" game. She was well aware of all of it.



Posted by: hmmm

11:17 RIGHT ON THE MONEY WITH THAT POST! She is playing it up. It's clear is the last few shows (tapings) she can't stand the guy. She told him months before the show did, that she wanted out of the marriage! Now Jon is moving on, and people are uptight about it, get over it, he can do whoever he wants, spend money on whatever he wants and go where ever he wants, it's not like he's coming to dinner at my place, so who gives a crap!

11:16 - the show must be on for 5 yrs. for him to get residual payments through dvd sales. I doubt he receives too many offers for appearance fees - other people more marketable. She may continue to get money through other sources, I don't deny that, but I was talking about him. There are thousands and thousands of people than have had a lot more money than either of them and have blown it away. A lifetime is a long time, probably at least 40 yrs for him and, again, the money will be gone sooner than later.



Posted by: THATS HOLLYWOOD

11:40 I agree with you to a point, as you have made some good points. Regardless if he gets residual payments or not, he is getting 'paid' close to 75.000.00 episode. There are between 20 to 34 episodes a season, that's close to 4 million a year, just for the season. Also they (don't forget) made a ton of cash on "LOVE OFFERINGS" on their speaking tour (something to do with church). And think about all the money they save, free food, free clothes, freee medical, freee vacations, free hair transplant for jon, and the tummy tuck for kate, free dog feed, free this and that... FREE FREE FREE, almost everything they get is free.. oh yeah, free cars! They don't need DVD sales, again they are doing fine, if they do get DVD sales, it's icy'ing on the cake, another 10 million in thier pocket. You are right there are others out there that are more marketable (but look who they are marketing, LOLO, and paris, comeon he's "Jon" right there with the bratpack), but people love to be in the 'know' when it comes to Jon&Kate, why I am not sure, is it due to the fact we have watched them grow, or due to the fact that they failed right before our eyes??? Yes 1000's of people have blown their money, yet time will tell on this one, but don't forget all the money that they get, i.e: the show, interviews, tour, book signings, book sales, they save most of it, they have a lot of money!

P.S. 11:40

They have filmed 100 episodes, in the last two years, you do the math.

good debate 12:16 - I hope you are right for taxes, the 8 kids sake - college and future generations, etc. Have a nice day.



Posted by: THATS HOLLYWOOD

12:34

I am only stating the facts! I am almost 100% positive their college fund is taken care of at this point. But yes I agree kids are costly.

BTW, Love the site, you guys do a good job, for the most part...I think you should hire me..

Jon's trouble will just get started when his money drys up and Hailey doesn't want him anymore. Then.......she will write a tell all book. She is a loser just like him.

Jon is a t-bag. Glad he's off the show. I can relate to Kate. If she hadn't have been a bitch to him and bossed him around, his lazy ass wouldve got nothing done.



Posted by: Anonymous

Why can't Jon & Kate continue on with the show as most of the public enjoyed watching the little ones and also the twins grown up on TV. Can't they put their pride away for a couple of days a month and tape a good show for the kids sake. And, if I had talked to my husband the way Kate talked to Jon he would have moved out years ago. Kate was brutal in her vocal attacts on Jon. He took her comments way to long before finally answering back on very rare occasions. Kate is out for Kate and that is that!!!! If she was looking out in just a tiny way for the kids she would continue taping and keeping her sarcastic remarks to Jon off camera. Everyone I talk to would like to see the taping of the whole families outings. Just be the acctress you have learned to be Kate, for a couple of days each month for the kids sake and also the public would love to also see Jon in those tapes and not just you~~~

BROAD HAS A FULL CHEST ON HER



Posted by: moron

Jon is such a USER!!! Kate has been his bread winner all along. He gripped so much about wishing he had a 9-5 job - well jon, TLC and Kate do not need you - go get a 9-5 job and use your own money. Oh wait... then you would not be able to buy Hailey all the diamonds and gold. You have no shame. You are only extending the date of the divorce because you want to use Kate some more to get more money. You and your lawyer are not so smart!!! Even I have figured you out....Kate came to the house to see the kids after she was made to understand that you would not be there and that you would be leavingt the kids with a new sitter. She told you she was coming - you should have told her then not to come - but you wanted to embarrass her so you had her come and then lock her out. Shame on you to have done that to the mother of your children and then now you have the nerve to say you want to have a relationship with her for your kids!!! You want a relationship with her because of the money. Go do a 9-5 job....and let Hailey give you money. Ha ha Ha!!!!!



Posted by: lily

dear jon, what would poor hailey say now that you are putting off the divorce. she has already sliced up herself for you - she was expecting to marry you before the end of the year!! Aren't you afraid that Hailey would expose you - that she would tell the world that you were having a relationship with her before you and your wife were separated .....that it was because of her you and kate started having problems. Jon, you used so many women and you have lied so much!! Maybe you need to start having some male friends - and try standing up to them. You are such a liar - you are only thinking or yourself - not the children

what was so cute about the show? it's everyday life for some, although some don't have quite as much money to take care of theirs as the Gosslins do, Jon shouldn't have acted the way he has but he is human, they both need to be gone, she won't give it up though because how will she pay for her next plastic surgery? We really don't know what went on it's all he said she said we don't live with them so we don't really know what happened do we?

Has anyone lost a job and wondered how they were going to feed their family? Well if the show is going to be cancelled in its entirety who the hell is going to help her raise 8 kids? Surely not you naysayers.



Posted by: Former long time J&K Fan

All the kids have had their collage educations paid for just like the Gosselins medical bills by the state of PA. The Governor at the time they were born set up 8 trust funds for ALL the kids.

TLC NEVER got the labor permits from the state for Child workers as required by PA State. Their former neighbors even said they were working 6-8 hrs a day.. WAY over the so called 3 days a week and the short hours Kate said. Also Kate lied about writing "Multiple Blessings" her former best friend Beth Carson said she wrote the book in an interview Kate only was a contributor, yet she takes all the credit you never see Beth at any book signings. Google Beth Carson readingeagle and the interview is listed in the first links.

I hope the show ends, its no longer child friendly.



Posted by: JIM

I think you should can the whole d-m show, who wants to watch some broad raise 8 brats on t.v. ( waste of my time for sure.)



Posted by: Mary

I think it's best to stop the show! It’s only harming the children & Kate + Jon!!! They both have made fools!!! Of themselves, 'cause Kate ridiculed him all the time! And he tolerated it!
I realized Jon is acting out, the way he has! I think he is having an emotional brake down or nervous brake down! This is probably how he cries out!
I HOPE THEY FIND ANOTHER WAY TO SUPPORT THESE CHILDREN & THEMSELVES!!!

How much more do they need to put the kids thru mommy and daddy are not together anymore. if mommy is there daddy is not. and if daddy is there mommy is not. lets just make it even harder on the kids and take the crew away that has been there for almost all there life. this is very hard on them and noone care. if there is going to be any more changes they Jon and Kate need to do it slowly or the kid will really need a lot of help. think about this first daddy lives in the some where else and they the dogs are taken from them and now the crew. Jon talks about is bills from theripy 22,000 just think what the bill will be like for all the kids. we need to PRAY for the kids



Posted by: anonymous

Maybe if they both have simple lifes again without money they will need one another like in the beginning. probably money is not good for some people

Kate love the show without that other person. Kids are growing up fast! Kate you are falling out of your tops from the3 side top and when you sit down or bend over. Help too much boobs this is a family show. Don't have to wear a turtle neck but help!!!! Please we love you and you are way more classy lady than that!!!!
