Every time Jon makes these futile attempts to cash in on his long dead fame, I am reminded of a Seinfeld episode.

George: "We could try mutton-chops. Buzz-cuts. Parachute pants."
Jerry: "Stop it, George! Stop it. I'm sorry. You've got to get a job!"

Let the countdown begin!

26 hrs 7mins until Jon Gosselin's contract is up with TLC!!! We are so excited!!! Bigs things to come, and we're happy you're with MKS!!!

This is interesting. So apparently the only reason Jon has been a respectable human being is because he was legally obligated. Now all bets are off. And just in time for Mady and Cara to be super embarrassed tweens.

Meanwhile, Kate was at a Red Cross Gala I guess last night and is currently in a twitter spat with a local PA media guy over a story he's doing on her appearance there.

@iphillychitchat I had a balls to the walls awesome time at #redball12 then Kate Goselin showed up and I got a shot that's gonna be seen around the world #fb

@iphillychitchat@strawberrypsu she's really stunning, but still grouchy. I was sad. There's nicer ways to say things. so gorgeous but so angry

@iphillychitchat I'm going to have the @kateplusmy8 story on @good_day_Philly 9:30AM Mon & in my @philymag column by 11AM Monday.

This guy sounds like an asshole looking for attention. So what does Kate do? Give him attention!

@kateplusmy8 @iphillychitchat hi! I'm reading your tweets & am upset u are lying about me! I spent about 20 sec with u & gave you a pic...why the hate?

@kateplusmy8 @iphillychitchat @redcrossphilly u asked4a pic of me&bodyguard...NO! That ? summed u up!Gave u pic of me anyway.That's called graciousness.

@kateplusmy8 @iphillychitchat Trying 2make a name 4 urself..w/ lies! What's2prove,othr than promoting U? Glad2c u care abt fire victims! @redcrossphilly

@kateplusmy8 @iphillychitchat U will report ur opinion&look desperate.I've sd all I wanted2say.I'm sad u took attn off home firevictims!@redcrossphilly

Kate cares about the Red Cross and fire victims so much that she's made sure anyone who follows the Red Cross in Philadelphia can read this ridiculous, childish, gossipy crap. She's awfully defensive and I can't imagine what the big deal is, especially if this guy has photos of her and Steve making out. Yawn. Nobody would care enough to be shocked by that at this point. Now if Jon can use something like that as ammunition in court, then I can understand her panic. Either way, she was incredibly stupid for engaging in a public twitter war. I'd bet Mady and Cara are miles ahead of their mom in the maturity department.

Sorry for the double post. The other one was a bit long to add to. This twitter spat is even more awesomely stupid than I imagined.

Here's the shocking photo that will be seen around the world: LINK

And here's the PhillyChitChat guy's description of events:

Below: Kate Gosselin, of Kate Plus 8, was there, as it was Jon Gosselin’s weekend with the kids. I caught up with her as she was getting a tarot-card reading from Marilyn Sukonick-Zeff. Kate was really into the reading, and I later overheard her tell her boyfriend, er, bodyguard (as she barked at me), Steve, that she was still confused about her future. Seems she didn’t ask specific questions because she didn’t want the tarot-card reader to know who she was? The good thing was no one harassed her all night, as most people didn’t recognize her. When they did, she happily posed with them. She looked sexy in her short, mid-thigh cocktail party dress from Mac Duggal Couture.

Is anyone shocked yet? Kate really jumped the gun on this one. A local blog jokingly implies that Steve is Kate's boyfriend as many, many others have for the past 2+ years and that makes her act defensive and childish on twitter? All she did was give this guy the attention he obviously craved while simultaneously tarnishing her image with the Red Cross by including them in her nutso tweets. Just. So. Stupid.

PhillyChitChat.com ‏ @iphillychitchat
Kate with tarot card reader. I thought but glad I didn't put it in as exclusive cause no one picked it up. she's done

Yeah, that and the fact that it's a lame picture that means nothing to anyone.

[margojata]

Oh my God I hate twitter. Or I hate when people type in that stupid shorthand that I can't get my brain to read.

I am embarrassed to say how excited I am to see what kind of douchtastic things Jon has up his fat little sleeve! I'll get the popcorn, sit back, and watch the greasy train wreck.

Interesting that he's been under contract THIS long. I'm sure that means that Kate probably is still on the payroll even without a show. So Ms. Scared To Be Poor is still cashing in.

The PhillyChitChat guy was able to sell his crap story to ROL: LINK

“[Steve and Kate] were definitely together, at one point he had his arm around her, and there was no crowd near them,” Hughe Dillon tells RadarOnline.com. “Wish I had thought of getting that shot, I don't know what I was thinking!”

Uh, huh. Whatever you say jackass.

[margojata]

Wait, what? He photographed her with the evil tarot cards, but not with her bodyguard/lover? She could have a whole Kevin Costner/Whitney Houston thing going here. Only you know, if she was actually famous, or likable, or anyone gave a damn. But thank God we got a shot of her with the gypsy woman (who looks like Paula Deen) instead!

Kate's latest heartwarming tale of life in the Gosselin home.

Lessons Learned from the Gosselin Globe
MARCH 15, 2012
Recently, my kids learned a very important lesson. As I was straightening the family room the other day, I noticed that our globe that sits on an end table between two chairs (likely you’ve seen it on our show!) was missing half of its equator! Someone had peeled it back and in the process had “wiped out” parts of a few countries!

Disgustedly, I hauled it to the kitchen and got out my super glue gel. I glued it back together and figured it was “good as new,” but it nagged at me. Who, of my kids, would deface property and think nothing of it? I am very clear with them about respecting our own belongings and especially others belongings. It’s an important lesson and I have taught it well, or so I thought…

So, to remind me to ask them, I placed it on the kitchen counter with a post it note (of course!) that said “please leave this here for now.” Anything without a note disappears around here so a post it note was necessary, in case you are wondering! Tonight at dinner, as we were eating, I causually mentioned the defaced globe and asked if “anyone did it or saw someone else doing it.” I received eight affirmative “NO” replies!

I went around the table and asked each child personally, staring into their eyes, if they did the damage or saw anyone doing it. I received the same eight convincing “NO” answers. I assured them that NOW was the time to be honest and escape the consequences. I was willing to accept it as a small mistake and move on. I told them that this was more about honesty and way less about the damage to the globe!

Next, as my kids finished their spaghetti, home made bread and brussels sprouts, I explained to them that in life if you commit a crime OR witness one and don’t report it, you are always guilty and the choice to not report the crime is also a crime!!!! I asked again. I received eight “NOs” yet again! At this point, all eight were eating their ice cream popsicles and it was Cara who decided that Joel looked very guilty. Everyone heartily agreed! So, I questioned him extensively, received his continual denials, and then proceeded to rinse the dishes, giving them all a break from the”Gosselin court of law!” I heard them become their own jury as they turned to each other and questioned one another.

Mady spoke up and told a story about something that happened in her class at school. She explained that someone had done something very wrong and the teachers could not figure out who did it so they passed out 3X5 cards and asked each student to write what, if anything, they knew about the situation. This gave the students a chance to confess without an audience. Mady had an idea! She suggested that I ask each child to put their head down and close their eyes and if they knew something, they were to raise their hands! I liked the suggestion and did it… and…
NO ONE RAISED THEIR HAND!!!

I was frustrated and disappointed at this point because I felt like I had a group of lying kids on my hands – something I have always harped against!!!! How could this be happening? SO, I reminded them one last time that NOW was the consequence free time to confess and they could do it now and escape the guilt that would eat at them later! I decided I would let guilt be the natural punishment!

No one came forward.

Chores followed dinner and dessert and I went on my way…In my busyness, I honestly forgot about it.

Not long after I had left the kitchen, I was in my room finishing up some work, and I heard a tiny knock at my door. A daughter entered and in a very small precious voice she said “mommy, it was me…” I didn’t instantly know what she meant so I said “what?” And she replied “It was me who peeled the globe; I’m sorry.”

I could do nothing else in that moment but grab her and hug her tight. I whispered “thank you” through my tears and told her that her confession was “a little late” but I could tell that she had already punished herself enough, so I didn’t need to. I reminded her how very important it is to “always tell the truth” and asked her to always “remember the globe” so that next time she would proudly offer the truth because it is right and also so that she could avoid that awful feeling of guilt!

She nodded assurance while I continued to hug her. And I had one last request: I told her that I would not tell anyone else that it was her, but that she needed to quietly go to Joel and apologize for letting him “take the heat” for her because everyone assumed he had been the culprit. She agreed… hugged me really tight and ran off to play…

No one ever told me that being a mom would be this difficult…it is amazing the lessons we can all learn when we take the time to handle each situation with love! I have a feeling that my girl will remember that globe for a very very long time.. Not only because she has personally seen much of it, but also because it has taught her a lesson in honesty!

My guess is that the kids got together after dinner while Kate was in her room "working" and picked out a fall guy based on who she would be least likely to be angry with. It's a wonder they managed not to throw up their spaghetti, homemade bread, and brussel sprouts with all the stress this must have caused. Poor Joel.

Instead of making a big dramatic production out of it, wouldn't it have been easier to ask who did it and then if no one confessed give a mild punishment to everyone like no dessert or going to bed early to make sure they all understood to take better care of their things? Geez, it's likely that whoever did it couldn't even remember they did it anyway.

[chitowngirl]

So Kate is not going to tell the others who it was, but the poor girl has to go to Joel and apologize because he "took the heat" for her? And Kate thinks Joel isn't going to blab to the other siblings about his sister?
