In Touch has become bottom of the barrel and has been that way for some time.. Jon is giving himself enough bad publcity on his own, but In Touch just makes up stories. Brad and Angelina are frequent targets and IT has jumped on the Jon/Kate story with great glee.

That would be quite an unpleasant engagement ring.. besides with their new possible sponsor deals I'd think the center would be an ugly tiger, at least..

As for Jon and Hailey I think it is a meeting of a wild child and one who was sort of an aimless well off dude who probably is heading back to wild child wannabe status.

There is a big difference in the attitude they had towards the perks of the show. When they went to Park City Kate said several time that she was so glad that her kids have this opportunity that they never could have had without the show. Jon, in discussing the same trip, said several times that he was so happy to be snow boarding again and thrilled to be outdoors and how much he missed outdoor sports. He was glad that some of the kids enjoyed the snow sports like he did and he was thrilled that Cara could be his ski buddy.

With all her faults, and all mothers have them, I do think Kate has the best interest of the kids in mind at all times. We might not agree as to what is in their best interest, but I think her kids are first in her life and that isn't true of Jon.

Interesting.. from the denial link (not from in tough) Jon explains coming back early "to film my reality show". Would have been smarter to say he wanted to see his children.


quote:

Gosselin was confronted by photographers at JFK airport on Tuesday as he returned from his St. Tropez vacation, reports Us Weekly. When asked why he was flying solo, the 32-year-old told the paps that Glassman remained in France but he "had to come back" to film his reality show. He added that he's "not allowed" to discuss the relationship, saying "I don't want to get in trouble." (People magazine cover stories are obviously the exception.)

I posted my last post before I knew anything about the supposed engagement ring. I am glad for the kids that he isn't engaged. I signed off yesterday after my post. When I read about that engagement ring today, my first thought was that was the only way Hailey could be on the show and in the house. I am very glad Jon denied that rumor. And yes, what a hideous ring...with a skull

Sea, ITA, he would come off a lot better if he would have said he was going to see his kids.

Good post upthread Happymom...I agree!

And just cuz Jon denies the engagment doesn't mean its not true. (although I'd need more proof to believe it). he also denied cheating and that's kinda blown up in his face. Hes doing a great job of making himslef look bad. Keep it up Jon!!

It sort of gives one a small idea of what Kate was dealing with.

Jon Gosselin's Bachelor Pad

Wonder how often he'll see the kids now? They obviously won't be visiting him very often.

Jon and Kate already explained that they won't be moving the children around at all. That's why John doesn't need a huge a place. When Jon stays with the kids, Kate will go off to her place, and when it's Kate's turn to stay with the kids, Jon will go back to his place. The only thing left to determine is where Kate's place will be when it's Jon's turn with the children. Heck, she may be living in that apt in the outbuilding when it's his turn. But they really did say straight out that the children will NOT be shuffled around to 2 different homes.

No more often than I expect Jon to show up at the house, Kate could probably just rent a room at the local Motel 6 and save a lot of money.

Do you not remember Kate's extremely busy travelling schedule with tv shows, book signings, speaking engagements, etc? It's Jon spending those weeks with the children. It's not just drop by's. Those things haven't come to a halt all of a sudden. Remember Kate also refuses to leave them with a nanny 24/7. One of them is always with the children according to Kate's own words.

I sure do hope Jon picks up the slack when Kate's gone, but I'm just not seeing it right now.

Naja, those were Kate's words some time ago. Jon was already spotted out with one twin, and Kate's shopped with one child so clearly there are nannies (or minders of some sort) watching the kids. When Jon was on his last skiing jaunt for TLC he reportedly hired a sitter for Cara and was out drinking til the wee hours and then guess he had a sense of entitlement but he didn't even pay the girl who was watching his child.

That refusal to leave them with a nanny thing isn't ironclad for life, I'm guessing.

Just as feeding them organic food went out the window whenever Jon was in charge, since he delights in buying them over priced crap, even coffee.. I'm sure that is his little revenge on Kate for daring to try to raise healthy kids. Hopefully he'll refrain from subjecting them to second hand smoke. I remember THAT part of growing up with smoking parents with no fondness.

====

As for having to have a place to live when he's not at the house with the kids, that hardly requires him to have an expensive, non child friendly place in another state.. no I think that requirement came from having a practically child girlfriend IN that other state.

Seamonkey, she has said it a few times over this past few months AFTER their separation 8 months ago. It wasn't "some time ago". They film at most a few weeks ahead of time. SHe has said this very recently. And just like I have said about 10 times, having a sitter for a few hours is NOT the same as having a 24/7 nanny when they are away from the kids for days, no matter how you twist it.

In Touch had an article on the 15th about Jon giving Hailey Glassman a skull ring, then we heard that Jon denied it.

Now this, dated yesterday:

On Wednesday, it was reported that Jon Gosselin was engaged to Hailey Glassman, his girlfriend of two months.

And now, the jeweler to the father of eight has confirmed the reality star will wed the 22-year-old.

“Yes, we sold Jon Gosselin the engagement ring that he gave to his fiancée,” Edouard Nahum tells In Touch. “It was a great pleasure for us to sell this ring. Our band is very well known by people and stars in Europe.”

Jon, who announced his separation from wife Kate last month, presented his new young love with a ring dripping in black diamonds while vacationing in St. Tropez on July 12.

Congrats to the happy couple! Um, yeah.

Do we believe the jeweler or not?

Ain't love grand. If Jon thinks he was miserable before, he's sure going to be one sorry mess after the fat lady sings and the end of this part of his life is over...probably with more innocent children on the scene.

Joel was quite brutal to jon (and the new girlfriend!) he showed a bunch of pics of the new girlfriend (doing all sorts of stuff) and said 'congratulations jon, you have now found a girl with NO control issues!' LOL
he then said 'i can't believe i am on Kate's side now' LOL

From ET Online:

"Jon & Kate Plus 8" star Jon Gosselin stepped out of the New York City restaurant Accademia di Vino with a new woman by his side.

Jon smiled for cameras wearing a black sports coat and a white, button-up, collared shirt. His blonde gal pal wore a white, sleeveless, ruffled blouse.

It was reported on Friday that staff members at the Alexandria building in Manhattan's Upper West Side helped move Jon -- who recently announced his separation from wife Kate-- into the building on June 2.

Tex, I'm finding more and more people are like Joel - they can't believe they're on "Kate's side". But Jon sure does keep himself out of the limelight, doesn't he?
btw, if anyone gave me an engagement ring with a black skull in the middle, I think I'd run the other way. Even if I was still in my 20's, I'd only show that ring off to biker friends...lol To anyone else I'd just say "look what my boyfriend got me".

LOL.. on the buzznet link above the pic of Jon and Hailey can be moused over to show where to buy their clothing.. both sunglasses, Zappos.com, her tank, zappos, his shirt. macys.com

No ad for his hair plugs, though.

===

OG, I assume the "new" woman is Hailey? I guess she is blonde, though with dirty hair it is difficult to say.

No, the *new* woman was a reporter from one of the rags(Jon's date identified). Jon was doing another exclusive to appear next week. Gotta keep that money rolling in.
