Jon Gosselin Talks to Good Morning America, Says the Media (Not TLC) Is "Exploiting" His Plus Eight Today 12:20 PM PDT by Ken Baker & Megan Masters UPDATE: In response to our earlier report, Gosselin explains to E! News: "I'm not saying TLC is exploiting my children. But I do believe the media and tabloids covering my family and the show for their own financial gain are the ones exploiting them." The father of eight refutes claims that he's biting the hand that feeds him, saying: "I have said on numerous occasions TLC has afforded my kids a better life and has helped provide a better roof on their heads." ________ After his almost-ex-wife's brief press tour over the past few weeks, Jon Gosselin is finally ready for a sit-down of his own. E! News has learned exclusively that Good Morning America scored the first post-split interview with the new man-about-town. On Friday, Gosselin sat down with GMA's Chris Cuomo and chatted about Kate Gosselin, the network that started it all and his future in showbiz. Since Kate has remained fairly neutral when it comes to comments about Jon in her interviews, does he reciprocate the courtesy? A source on set during the taping tells E! that Gosselin was "very open and honest" about his feelings toward Kate and even delved into his thoughts on the future of Jon & Kate Plus Eight. "TLC has had him on a gag order and he's sick of it," says the source. "Jon basically comes right out and says he's worried the show is 'exploiting' his eight children." He might be sick of the cameras following his family around, but that doesn't mean Jon's ready to leave the spotlight... "Jon says he doesn't see himself as a celebrity, but because the public does it will make it hard for him to go back to a normal life and a normal job," spills the source. "He wants to stay in the TV industry and has a lot of ideas." While a rep for Gosselin declined to comment, the interview is scheduled to air on Good Morning America in the next week, as well as ABC's other news staple, 20/20. http://www.eonline.com...

Jon Gosselin's Wet & Wild Weekend In Las Vegas Today 10:45 AM PDT by Megan Masters Big weekend for Jon Gosselin. First, his sit-down with Good Morning America, then his highly-anticipated pool party at Wet Republic at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The reality-dad-turned-eligible-bachelor left lady love Hailey Glassman behind, opting instead to bring his mother Pamela Gosselin Castello along to the event. "Glad to be MGM," Gosselin told reporters as he made his way a private, poolside bungalow, taking advantage of ample photo-op's with bikini-clad girls. It wasn't all fun and games for Gosselin... Jon faced several critics throughout the party, shouting things like: "Go sleep with that 18-year-old" and "We love Kate!" But Gosselin kept is cool, spending most of the day smoking cigarettes, drinking champagne and socializing with hundreds partygoers. Jon even started his own official Twitter, tweeting about Cirque Du Soleil and the rest of his weekend: "Another beautiful day in Las Vegas. Making sure mom's pampered at the spa." Afterparty plans? Jon will hang around Vegas until Monday, when he plans to once again meet with Ed Hardy designer, Christian Audigier, to discuss their rumored clothing line. "Everything is in the works," Gosselin hinted to reporters on the Wet Republic blue carpet. —Reporting by Jordan Miller and Claudia Rosenbaum http://www.eonline.com...

I watched thier show this morning, he didnt seem interested at all in doing the show. He checked out a long time ago. Maybe the stress of having so many kids was too much for him? He should had spent some time with the Duggars! They would had taught him some family values!

How nice that Jon took his mother to Vegas with him and made sure she was pampered. I'm sure she appreciated him sharing some of his good fortune with her.

I don't think it aired yet? Maybe it was just a promo for his coming appearance because all the leaks that I am finding about it say it was taped but hasn't aired yet.

Didnt see it - but I did catch the rerun of Jon getting hair transplants... Dr talked to Jon about where a Korean hairline would be and a caucasian line and then drew on his forhead and gave him a mirror and asked Jon which he prefered... Kate answered.\ Doc said "who wears the pants in your family?" Kate laughed and said "he does" Jon Replies "that's the biggest lie you've told" and to me that sums up why they are divorced. It was a small clip - but boy it sure had elements of everything... I dont get the impression Kate was lying - she was being supportive or gave that impression... just found it interesting... and I probably shouldnt put it in quotes because its been a few hours!

I don't remember what his exact words were, but Jon's wistful longings for his NY apartment were interesting. He pays lip service to wanting to be with his kids but I no longer get a sense that he would CHOOSE to be there, given other options. Does he love those kids...definitely. Does he want to be there with them everyday and not miss a moment of their lives? Not so much. When Kate hopes he'll wake up one day and realize he made the wrong choices, I think this is what she is referring to. If he's not careful, one day the children will be grown and he'll realize that he missed much of the enjoyment of their youth trying to recapture his own. The boys were adorable in this episode at the Dude Ranch. However, one thing that bugs me about Kate is that she considers such activities only for "boys". Come on, Kate, kids don't need to have such gender stereotypes thrust upon them.

Did Kate say that the dude ranch thing was only for boys? Not being argumentative, I missed the first 10 minutes of the show and didn't see that. Yes, Jon did say that he was enjoying spending time with the girls but that he missed New York. He said something like there was always something happening there. I also think he was saying outright that he'd rather be in NYC doing his own thing than be with the kids.

huk'd, she didn't say the dude ranch was for boys only, but she did repeatedly say that it was nice that the boys got to do 'boys things'. it kind of bugged me too, but i never got the impression that she wouldn't let the little girls do the sames things cause she was certainly right there doing the 'boy things' too. i know i have said things similiar, i just seemed like she kept saying it. LOL i do imagine that they do alot of dressup/girl stuff in a house with 5 girls though.

Seems like with 8 kids something would always be happening. I've got one still at home and a granddaughter a couple of days a week and trust me, there's always something going on...lol Just not the somethings that were going on BK (before kids.)

and when you think of the girls personalities, taking a long hike without whining or complaining - I would imagine there will be a show of a girls only - wonder if it will include Cara and Maddy or will they be seperate time? DD was 5 when she joined her brothers and dad on 5 mile hikes - but she was determined to keep up with those older brothers!!

Well, things happening with the kids but Jon enjoys drinking and partying with slightly older kids. I think it isn't that things are boys only but that when all are together, the slant is more what the girls like.. be it "aldergators" and other reptiles, or spa days or rock climbing, or dolls and tea parties. Since there are fewer boys,and in the past Jon took the boys out golfing and other places they wanted to go, now Kate is trying to give them special times. Clearly they aren't forcing Cara to be all girly and I doubt if they will force the boys to be anything they don't want to be. And last year there were times when the twins felt that the project or excursion was too young and squirmed a bit, but it was something that the younger kids enjoyed.

I just watched the dude ranch show and loved it. I thought it was a big breakthrough for Kate in so many ways, not the least was the handling of the barbequed chicken feet. Funny!

Got a good guffaw out of Kate thinking she was going to wear heels at a dude ranch. So funny!

I finally saw the show and really enjoyed both parts. The little boys are just precious and I think they mentioned having a "no girls" experience. And I was cracking up (and Kate mentioned it later) about them being that age when it is all about poop. LOL. The twins are interestingly different.. we've seen how Cara likes the physical stuff, the rock climing, ropes, rollerblading, skiing stuff but interesting what Jon said about Maddy being in the forefront for performance stuff, the singer, with Cara being happy to back her up.

Did anyone see this interview on GMA? I haven't seen it, but I saw this excerpt on TMZ: Jon Gosselin took a break from his busy partying/girl hunting schedule to blast his ex, Kate, today on "GMA" -- saying she was never home and he "took a lot of abuse" when they were married. Of course, Jon's committed his fair share of abuse as well -- by making us look at Ed Hardy shirts on a daily basis.
