Jon Gosselin has been acting a lot wilder since his divorce from Kate, which may have made TLC very mad at him. In fact, rumors are that Jon Gosselin wants to get fired from TLC and be released from his Jon and Kate Plus 8 contract.
Jon Gosselin fired talk is now more appealing to TLC, after he allegedly violated his "morals clause" according to TMZ. Gosselin has been seen more frequently in bars, when not flaunting his new relationship around.
This, and not the Jon and Kate divorce saga, and not concern for the Gosselin children, and not any of the other actual moral issues sprung up from this roller coaster, is what may make TLC bend and fire Jon Gosselin. But Gosselin himself may not have very pure motives for getting off the show either.
Further gossip reports allege that Jon Gosselin is trying to leave TLC so he can join a new reality show. The proposed series "Divorced Dads Club" would focus on the lives of several high-profile divorced fathers - and few are as high profile as Gosselin. But he needs to be fired from his TLC contract first, which may explain why he has been acting out so much lately.
Jon Gosselin fired rumors, if they come true, could finally be the thing that brings the Jon and Kate Plus 8 empire down. It is already on very hard times, with the ratings having gone downhill in recent weeks, and with Kate Gosselin handling pretty much every duty on the show. Kate is even rumored to have had more time with their kids, on and off screen, than Jon lately.
Though Kate received a lot of the scorn at first during this story, Jon Gosselin has caught up as the most unpleasant Gosselin of the two, especially with these supposed efforts to get fired. Jon's new girlfriend, Hailey Glassmen, has also helped him slander TLC, allegedly calling it "The Lying Channel."
For now, the show is still Jon and Kate Plus 8, pending the fired rumors and Jon's crazier-by-the-day antics.

Post a CommentI hope Jon can find some happiness. Kate treated him like dirt since episode 1. You reap what you sew. Kate is so impressed with herself, that it makes me sick. I watched every show 2-3 times, but now without a voice of reason (Jon) I will never watch another minute. Quit bashing Jon, let him finally have a life. AND yes I can say this, because I am a type A, controlling wench just like Kate, however, I realized my shortcomings by the time I was her age and have now been married 25 years. Jon is SOOOOO much better off without her. Anyone who doubts how much he loves his kids must be watching with "kate" tinted glasses.
I just can't believe he's still claiming to put his children before anything else in his life. What a shame.
My heart goes out to the Gosselin children and Kate. Jon's 15 minutes of fame have gone to his head. I don't think his children are high on his list of priorities or he would be seeking counceling on his marriage instead of being in France with a ten year younger barfly hanging all over him. He needs to take a good reality check about why he had his fifteen minutes of fame....the only thing extraordinary about him was Kate and the children. On his own, he is nothing. I hope he is happy with his own party queen. That will be cold comfort when he is waiting tables or working as a Walmart Greeter. Best wishes to Kate. Jon, Karma is sometimes cruel when it bites you in the butt.
I think that Kate is an amazing women. She is a very talented and organized mother. I believe her children will greatly benefit in the long run because of her intelligent decisions she makes for her children. Jon on the other hand has seemingly lost it. If he really loved his kids%2C he would not be doing the things he is doing. It%27s one thing to have l girlfriend and say that you don%27t want to be married anymore...but...all the girlfriends and bar hopping and not taking the best interest for his family is just horrible. She will be better off without him. She will be successful and he will probably go down penniless and a drunk or an drug addict...or a loser of some kind. happens all the time.
Thank god!!!! Goodbye Jon... no one wants to see you anyway.... He is so boring and that lovely interview his new girlfeiend had with E news was the tip of the iceburg.... what a trash bag she is!!!!! I love Kate and I will still watch her show! Kate plus 8 is fine with me!!!!
I think the seperation and divorce between jon and kate should be just that, just between jon and kate. Sure, everyone has their opinion and sure everyone wants to believe their opinion counts, and in most things it does, but did it count or matter when jon and kate asked what you thought about them getting married? Of course not. About them having children or how to go about it because of medical issues, of course not, so everyone needs to but out and let this very private matter take its course take its course and wish them well in their future ventures, seperately.
I would like to volunteer myself as the "now playing" jon gosselin. He's about as likely to be with the show for the next taping as me, and I really do care about my kids and family. Now I just have to let my wife go along with the idea (the little things).
I strongly believe that "Kate plus 8 could easily gain back the audience lost by the bad off camera antics of Mr. "I dont like being in the public eye, I just want to be Jon not Jon&Kate" Gosselin.
What actually pusuaded me to atually voice my opinion on this, was, Kate did the correct thing by her children and put money into a fund for their future.While her co-star selfishly spent the money on himself. BAD BAD BAD
So good luck to Kate and the children and a Happy Trails to Jon.
At first Kate seem like a really cranky (actually thought of another word) cause of their breakup and I was a fan of Jon; however, there is no excuse for Jon doing what he is doing. The kids are victims in a situation which is only describable as "chaos". I am a man and can say Jon needs to man up and do what he should be doing.
Get rid of JOn. You will lose a few JOn supporters, but they are not enough to be a show stopper. They will be replaced by the lost viewers like Nick who left because of him. Kate + 8 is what really makes the show.
TLC does not need to worry about the show if Jon leaves. Infact, the majority of lost viewers don't watch because of him. My family doesn't and we know of several other Christain famlies who don't. If TLC kicks him off, we will watch Kate + 8. Give it a shot TLC. You'll see the viewership go up some and steady off. You'll never get teh ratings from the divorce announcement unless Kate finds a new mate and remarries, but that will only be a temporary spike. We's like to watch again, but ONLY if you get rid of Jon.
