Why does that link have such a huge picture of Jon on it?? It's so unflattering, they didn't have to stick it to him like that, the headline is bad enough.

I don't find him attractive even if the picture was the size of a postage stamp.

LOL Huk, that is hilarious! I don't find him attractive either, but that particular pic super-sized is super unflattering.

yeah, it does seem like they pick a particularly unflattering pic of him.

I do not mean this at all sarcastically!! I am beginning to think that Jon is in serious need of some immediate psychological intervention. Yesterday he was photographed standing at one of his fences and firing a handgun into the trees. Who does that? What possible purpose could there be in that? Today the judge ordered that he remove the gun from the property. {sigh}

Gosselins Divorcing by the New Year? Try the Weekend
The Pennsylvania courts are about to give Jon and Kate Gosselin the greatest gift of all: singlehood.

Despite claims made just yesterday by Jon's lawyer that the soonest we'd see a Gosselin divorce was after the New Year, Kate's attorney confirms to E! News that Christmas is coming early for the estranged reality duo, with a judge expected to sign off on their split within 24 hours.

"We're expecting it either today or tomorrow," says attorney Mark Momjian. "We had a proceeding this morning and Mr. Gosselin was present without his lawyer. The law clerk said the decree would be entered today or tomorrow and literally, I'm waiting for it. It could be any minute."

Who said there's no such thing as a Christmas miracle?

And what about yesterday's claims by Jon's attorney, Mark Heller?

We're not sure if he was being intentionally misleading or unknowingly misinformed (this is talk-first, think-second Team Jon we're talking about, after all), but Kate's crew couldn't resist sounding off.

"I don't know what Mr. Heller is talking about—he's mistaken," says Momjian of his rival counsel. "The arbitration award has been entered, and it's final and it's binding. We're ready to make a statement as soon as we hear the decree has been signed."

But not a moment before.

"It is an important transition for Kate, and her children and Jon's children, and we want to wait until it is finally done," he adds.

As for Jon, he'll have to make another kind of transition—one that involves disarming himself.

Earlier today, a judge ordered Jon to cease bringing firearms onto the very-soon-to-be former couple's Wernersville, Pa., property after photos surfaced of him taking shot practice in their backyard.

Jonny's got a gun? Not around his kids, he doesn't.

Me too. It will hopefully be calming and peaceful for them all to start moving on into their new phase of life.

When I saw the photo of Jon shooting that gun yesterday I didn't bring it over here because I thought he must have been at a shooting range and someone was trying to make him look worse than he is by saying it was on his property. I didn't think even Jon was stupid enough to shoot a gun anywhere near his children's home.

He shows no judgement skills whatsoever. My wish would be that when he is able to see his children, the visits will be supervised by an independent third party. This man is not capable of making decisions that affect his kids.

Sheesh.. a handgun with nine children around? And I'm including Jon in that number and unfortuntatley there he was shooting the thing! Unfortunately he may have just stowed it in one of his vehicles or back in NY, but hopefully not where one of the innocent 8 kids can get ahold of it.

As for Mark Heller.. well I bet he charged by the millisecond for that erroneous "announcement", adding to the bill he's toting up for Jon.

Shooting guns?! Goodness. Is he trying to kill a papparazzi and end up in jail?! What an idiot. I'd be furious at anyone who had a gun around my kids.

I'm not defending his behavior and I certainly hope he doesn't have that gun anywhere near his kids, but maybe he was doing it as a release? I know, I know, there are much more productive ways to release tension and frustration, and Brenda is right, blindly shooting into trees like that he could accidentally kill a papparazzi and have a whole new set of problems.

Or maybe since Jon can't get the attention he normally craves by speaking to the media like he'd been doing, maybe it was his attempt at gaining some attention and getting his name back out there? I dunno, just some thoughts.

It's not clear to me how a judge can order Jon to get rid of his gun: have we abolished the 2d Amendment? AFAIK, if he has it licensed, he can have it--not that I like or approve of guns in the home, but....sheesh. At least this is something the kids are accustomed to: as we remember, Mrs Gosselin had the boys pointing large munitions at the paparazzi when they visited that naval base, so to them a hand gun must have seemed like a plaything.

I think there must be a whole multitude of better "outlets" (break glass, punching bag, work out, meditate, get some therapy for his anger issues... and heck he could go get a job to pass the time away, if that is the problem. Looked like he had a nanny on duty when he came outside with the box that I assume held the ammo for the gun.. and she was outside so hopefully the kids were off at school.

In the same series of pics of course he was using his always present cell phone.. what if he held the wrong item up to his head?

I did see an article that said that the judge not only ordered him to take the gun off that property but gave him a deadline for registering the gun at another Pennsylvania address.. lol.. wonder how MOM feels about having a gun registered to her place?

Probably because he was standing in his backyard shooting into a bunch of trees. Since the judge can't throw him in jail, asking him to not bring a gun onto a property he isn't a principal resident at anymore is probably the most he can do. I would also think that the judge cannot and wasn't declaring it as a do or die but rather a very strong suggestion and also as a way of putting Jon on notice that the behavior was beyond stupid and has been noticed by the courts.

Laws are different everywhere, not only on where you can carry a weapon, but where it can be discharged too. He may have been firing it from his property, but firing it INTO someone else's property. So, depending on what the laws are, the judge may have the right to tell him to remove the gun.

Looks like PA doesn't have much in the way of gun laws, though you have to have a permit to carry a concealed handgun on your person or in a vehicle. So this must have been strictly about the safety of the children.

(Well if you wre to be declared mentally incompetent that would be another matter, or convicted of 3 DUIs)

In NY seems like he'd need permits for a handgun and there is a six month waiting perions and in NYC only, he'd need a permit even for a shotgun or rifle so just bringing the thing back to the bachelor pad probably isn't the best idea.

I'm sure if there is any possible reason to, his attorney will rush to file a suit.. and rack up more fees.
