Who in their right mind would encourage their young daughter to date a man with 8 kids ? Oops no one said that Miss Christie's family had good sense. My bad.

Only, as I recall, Jon claims that he's been ruined for regular work and MUST work in the biz. So, see, it is Kate's fault. Or maybe TLC's fault. Nothing is ever Jon's fault. Hopefully Jon can sell his swag to help make child support payments.

As I was reading the article Ophiliasgrandma posted, I was thinking how would the media even know to report on this unless Jon himself, or someone in his camp contacted the media to tell them these things. Because it seems like such an insignificant report that he or his girlfriend had to be responsible for getting the story out. I knew it couldn't last forever; despite all the other media frenzies going on these days, there still had been a certain peacefulness without Jon's histrionics. And as I type this I just learned there is such a thing called "Histrionic personality disorder." Could this be our boy Jon? Here's the definition per wikipedia: Histrionic personality disorder (HPD) is defined by the American Psychiatric Association as a personality disorder characterized by a pattern of excessive emotionality and attention-seeking, including an excessive need for approval and inappropriate seductiveness, usually beginning in early adulthood. These individuals are lively, dramatic, enthusiastic, and flirtatious. They may be inappropriately sexually provocative, express strong emotions with an impressionistic style, and be easily influenced by others. Associated features may include egocentrism, self-indulgence, continuous longing for appreciation, feelings that are easily hurt, and persistent manipulative behaviour to achieve their own needs.

More of Jon's histrionics. Jon Gosselin is a Sundance Diva? We were already taken aback by the news that Jon Gosselin's presence at the Sundance Film Festival has been widely publicized. However, there are more surprising reports than that. According to FOX411, the reality TV star has been thinking too much of himself again, and even acting inappropriately in public. Sources have spotted the Jon and Kate Plus 8 star drawing attention to himself and his girlfriend Morgan Christie during their time in Park City, Utah. The two have actually been staying at her family home there, but couldn't help check out the sights outside. "Jon and Morgan are really making a spectacle of themselves and Jon expects star treatment everywhere he goes," an insider revealed to the publication. "He has turned into a total diva. He and Morgan have been setting themselves up at free events each day, they request security teams to help them and make sure the paparazzi are around to catch them." After revealing that he's excited to see the movie Douchebags, Jon Gosselin just kicked back during Sundance and enjoyed the festivities. In his own way, of course. He and Morgan Christie spent the night watching the Kelis performance at the Film Lounge/House of Hype on Friday, and went snowboarding later on. "Jon made sure he was escorted into the venue with full security and he insisted on watching the performance with Morgan on the side of the stage, all alone, while real celebrities were in the audience with everyone else," the source revealed. As to what they were doing, well, it's probably better to skip the details and stay satisfied with this vague statement. "Morgan was ALL over Jon during the performance," the insider exclaimed. "Then, when Jon was ready to leave, which was before the concert was over, he made security escort him and Morgan to his car. It was lame!" Apparently, a lot of people noticed what was going on with the Jon and Kate Plus 8 celebrity. "Jon acted like he was a superstar. Everyone in the audience was wondering why Jon demanded such treatment." [BuddyTV]

I kind of have a hard time believing this story. Why on earth would the people running the theater let him get away with this nonsense when there are more famous people in the audience behaving themselves? Unless it was because they were banished to the sidelines and nobody wanted to be seen sitting next to them.

Jon would would have a "hissy " fit if he knew we did not consider him a "real celebrity". He actually is rather pitiful by making himself seem more important than he actually is. He is just plain old "simple"which is a way of saying that he is none to bright.

John Gosselin and Spencer Pratt should do a reality show together, they couldn't use "biggest Loser," as it's already been used.

I did notice the movie's name Tex, but then sort of zoned out just from seeing Jon's name again. Jon, bless his heart, probably thought the movie was all about him and that he was going to see his face up on the big screen.

Escapee, so true! I often think of Jon G. and Spencer Pratt as being 2 of a kind. I sometimes truly wonder if Jon is intentionally following Spencer's approach to being famous...or infamous. I mean, both of their behavior, as disgusting as it is, does keep them both in the media.

As much as I dislike Jon and always have, I find it hard to believe that story. When they have so many truly famous people around for Sundance why would they give so much attention to a spoiled child? I think there was a lot of exaggeration in the report.

Jon will allow kids to be filmed if TLC drops lawsuit against him Just curious if now, months later and after so much new information has come to light, if people's opinions about Jon have changed. I am NOT talking about Kate or whether she is saint or sinner... just Jon. For myself I started out not liking either of them, no respect for someone like Jon who plays victim to gain power. But now it seems like so much more. He seems to be using his kids more than anyone ever said about TLC and Kate. From rumours coming out of the police dept, he is really close to being charged with filing false reports re: that trashing the apt incident. I am just baffled as to where his head is and whether he was always this way or how he has gotten so far off track. One of his big defences was how he was willing to protect his kids by stopping filming even if it costs him money and career but if the above article is true then he was simply pulling a power play with Kate/TLC and not looking out for his kids at all.

My guess is that Jon is thinking that if Kate is making money, he won't be as responsible for so much support. Yup, just as suspected eons ago, it was never about the kids...just money.

Too late to edit, so I'd like to add this: My wish would be that TLC will smarten up and not put these kidlets in any more harms way. How about a K&8 Christmas special and shows of this nature instead of a weekly series? TLC and Kate would make plenty of money and it would allow the kidlets to stay so much out of the limelight.

I agree Huk. We won't know if all this publicity is damaging to the kidlets until it's too late and the public's need for voyeurism is not a reason to take that chance.
