Jon and Kate Plus 8 Editor Gets Arrested
One of the editors that worked for TLC's "Jon and Kate Plus 8." William Blankinship, was arrested on October 21 for child pornography. The 56 year old apparently now faces ten counts of child pornography.
"Bill Blankinship was employed by Serious Robots, with whom Figure 8 Films subcontract for editing services. Upon learning of the shocking allegations his employment was terminated," Figure 8 films said in a statement.
He was never in contact with the famous eight Gosselin kids or any other of TLC's stars, the statement added. "At no time was this man ever in the field or in direct contact with any of the talent for any of our productions."
I somehow seem to think that TLC issued the statement because they could sense a lawsuit by either Jon or Kate Gosselin. As for the creeper, no bail has been set.
Jon Gosselin Says Kate Should Get Back to Normal Life
Jon Gosselin has some advice for his ex-wife, Kate Gosselin, who's show Kate Plus 8 was cancelled - go have a normal life.
“Reality TV is not a career. Get back to a normal life – a simple life. Things will work out the way they should work out. Obviously, there are families out there that have several kids – people work normal jobs, and things work out.”
FINALLY - something smart comes out of this mans mouth!
Jon Gosselin Gets Another Gig
Jon Gosselin probably has had 30 jobs in the last 6 months, but that hasn't stopped him from whoring himself out to any entity that will pay him. The latest - Quiznos. Jon is pushing a Quizno's promo on Twitter to his 72,184 followers.
A source tells RumorFix that Jon's tweets usually sell for $500 each.
To put that in perspective, Kim Kardashian, with close to seven million followers, gets $13,000 for a tweet. And, Charlie Sheen broke all records by getting more than $100,000 to promote www.internships.com.
Jon Gosselin Needs Money
I'm not sure what Jon Gosselin actually does for money, unless he's got a Marlboro/Ed Hardy endorsement, but he has resorted to trying to extort money from Kate by calling Child Protective Services on her. His ex-gf Hailey Glassman apparently heard him call Kate when they were in bed. Classy.
"We were in bed and Jon called Kate on speaker phone. He wrote down what he wanted to say to her and then he read from his notes. He told her, 'You either give me money, or I'm going to call CPS.' Kate would just say, 'You're sick Jon, you're sick. How could you do this to me? You need help.' I just remember thinking at the time that if he could do this to the mother of his kids, what would he do to me?"
Jon Gosselin Is Writing A Book On Parenting
Ummm, I'm not really even sure if Jon Gosselin is a parent (unless you count all the TLC he provides for his Ed Hardy t-shirt collection), but he is reportedly going to pen a book on parenting.
Jon Gosselin and leadership coach Dr. Sylvia Lafair are writing a book together about the lessons the reality dad has learned as the father of a large -- and famous -- family.
"Jon is still deciding what exactly the book will be about, but knows he wants to focus on his parenting skills," a friend of the father of eight tells me. "There is no deal yet or timeline, but the [interest] in Jon from publishers is huge right now, so he's going to strike while the iron is hot."
The former TLC reality star thinks this is his chance to show the world what a stand-up father he is and how other moms and dads in similar situations (because having 8 kids is so common!) can learn parenting tips from him.
Jon Gosselin Loses His Gut
Dating all those 20-year-olds keeps you in shape! Jon Gosselin hit the beach recently look surprisingly fit, and thankfully, NOT wearing something by Ed Hardy.
When Jon Gosselin took to the beach in Ocean City, N.J., on July 8, he looked like a new man. Donning dark shades and a plaid bathing suit, the dad of eight looked toned, tanned and healthier than ever while strolling the beach with his bikini-clad girlfriend, Ellen Ross. And there was one thing noticeably missing -- his beer belly! "Jon's made time for himself," says a friend of the reality star, who adds that Jon's kids were his main motivation to get in shape. "Jon's own dad never took care of himself and died at an early age, so Jon is doing whatever he can to ensure he'll be around for his kids as long as possible."
