Jon & Kate plus 8

I'm a big fan of the show "Jon & Kate plus eight" I've followed this show since the beginning and now I'm not sure where I stand as far as "fan" base. I'm disappointed as to what their marriage has turned to. I really thought they were a great couple even though Kate was a "boss hog" but they managed to make it happen. You could tell Jon loved his wife and Kate loved her husband. Now, Jon claims to just have enough of Kate's controlling ways and he wants out. ...its more like he wants to be single and free again. Not worry about 8 kids and now he gets to stay at home. Yet he tries to act like he wants to work again because staying at home was not what he wanted. Yeah we can really see that Jon...sporting all his new toy, new luxury apartment in NY and now his cute new girlfriend. Anyhow, I wanted to share this little article about good ol' Jon. Why is it that men can get up and go and start all over with no worries and women are always stuck figuring out ways to continue to make their kids happy, finding way to make their life easier, playing the mother,friend and father role (because the father has decided that since he divorced the wife he divorced his children too) I"m not speaking of all men but the majority seem to find the easy way out. Too bad women can't do the same!~



Just weeks after splitting from his wife of 10 years, Jon Gosselin is back in the spotlight with a new career and a new girlfriend. Gosselin, 32, turned up in St. Tropez hand-in-hand with Hailey Glassman, the daughter of the plastic surgeon who performed Kate’s tummy tuck in 2006. The lovebirds spent the weekend along the French Riviera so Gosselin could finalize a deal to design his own line of children’s clothing with Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier. Glassman will also have a hand in creating the kid-friendly fashions. “She’ll have a lot of input with Christian,” Gosselin told PEOPLE of Hailey’s involvement. “And I will, too.” And don’t forget the plus eight — Gosselin tells PEOPLE that his eight kids, who spent the weekend with Kate at the family’s Pennsylvania home, will model his designs in ads for the line. Audigier tells PEOPLE that he approached Gosselin with the idea after noticing that the reality show dad often wore his tattoo-inspired T-shirts on Jon and Kate Plus Eight. “He’s huge,” says the French designer, who may also collaborate with Gosselin on a specialty motorcycle collection. “Everyone knows this family. And everyone will know our clothes. They’ll be fun, easy clothes for kids.” But it wasn’t all work for Jon and Hailey. During the extended weekend aboard Audigier’s yacht, Gosselin and Glassman lunched at the Tahiti Club before cruising around the bay in a cigarette boat. The pair also went shopping at some of the high-end boutiques around St. Tropez, including Hermes and Prada. “They couldn’t take their eyes off each other,” a friend of Audigier’s tells PEOPLE. “They looked so happy to just be together.” “I feel very relaxed,” Gosselin told PEOPLE during his weekend escape. But, “every ten minutes I keep thinking about the kids and missing them.” A reunion will come soon enough: Gosselin is due back home on Tuesday where he will start filming new episodes of the family’s TLC series, which returns from hiatus on Aug. 3. – Michelle Tan; reporting by Jen Garcia and Dana Kennedy



I read this article and I just hate to see whats going to become of these children. Granted Kate may be a controlling wife, who is annoyed at everything he does because he would allow those 8 kids to do whatever but geez... u just divorced at least give it some time. Do you think your kids aren't ever going to read this crap? Do you think your kids are going to think... "OH its ok dad, you left cause my mom was so controlling and now u need to be out smoking and chillin' with this young girl?" I can't say that his actions are all just him. Kate has a lot of fault as well but at least if she is seeing someone else she is not being public about it and her kids aren't going to see their mommy making out with a 20-something year old boyfriend. Jon, I useto want to stick up for you but now.... you get on my nerves. You suck and stop thinking your so HOT cause your not. Perhaps you should ask your new girlfriend's father to perform a tummy tuck on ur azz!
