How on earth did he think he could maintain a condo in NYC and the other stuff? Guess now that reality has smacked him in the puss, he's seen the light (for now, anyway).

TLC seemed sure to win that court fight, I wonder why they let him off the hook so easily.

As I see it, TLC had nothing to gain by following through...and mucho bucks to lose in attorney fees. They would have never gotten a penny from Jon.

Yes OG, from what TLC has said (whatever weight can be put on that) they were never suing for money. They just wanted Jon to stop bad-mouthing them in unauthorized interviews. The act of suing him had the desired effect so no need to spend legal fees carrying on with suit.

If I could see the kids on tv every 6 months that would be fine. No interest here at all in seeing Jon; he disgusts me.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35446922/ns/entertainment-gossip/ Kate will return to TV, but without Jon By Courtney Hazlett The Scoop updated 10:17 p.m. ET, Wed., Feb. 17, 2010 TLC and Jon Gosselin settled their lawsuits against each other, and the details of which are being kept confidential. TLC did issue a statement to that effect, but it included a puzzling line: “The whole Gosselin family remains under contract with TLC.” What? Does that mean “Jon & Kate Plus Eight” might be coming back to television? Short answer: No way. A source with knowledge of the deal said that Jon is not going to be part of any programming plan on TLC, but Kate is expected back. “We’re still doing the show with Kate,” said the source. There is no air date for Kate’s show, and in fact, producers are still tweaking just what the mom of multiples will be doing on the show. According to one source close to the production, this much is certain: “It will not be a dating show.” As for whether we’ll see the Gosselin children back on television, that’s up in the air for now. A TLC source said that maybe “down the line” there could be a special, but there aren’t any current plans beyond a show for Kate.

http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2010/02/jon-and-kate-gosselin-finally-sell-starter-home Jon and Kate Gosselin are closing another chapter of their life together. Jon Gosselin Hopes Second Time Around With TLC is "Much More Joyful" Says Lawyer After being on the market for ten months, their starter home in Elizabethtown, Penn., has finally been sold according to real estate web site Zillow. While the original asking price for the property was $325,000, the final sale price was $258,000- $22,000 less than what they paid for the home in 2006. However, the Gosselins have plenty of company in their real estate misery. December estimates had 14% of homes in the area selling for less than the previous purchase price. The couple closed the deal on the house- which was the original backdrop for Jon & Kate Plus 8- on January 14.

That's so sad that anybody has to sell their house for less than they paid for it, when in the mean time J&K actually had added two more rooms to it plus other improvements. Just insane. My brother got stuck in the same situation...Bought his new place before the old was sold, then the housing crash came and he had a lot of trouble selling the old house without losing money on it.

I thought I had posted a few mos. ago that the house sold. Maybe my mind is going...or maybe the deal fell through. link Radaronline article just a bit different than Kathyb's article, but some the same. link Jon visits kids per Radaronline (not sure how reliable that source is though)

Unfortunately it's true, I am so sad to say. I think she and hubby have used up more than their share of the 15 minutes of fame. She has also made a statement that Jon is to be barred from coming to any of the shows and she can do it because she has a lot of power, just ask her. Can you tell that I am not a big fan????LOL

Yep - I must be way behind the times! The only threads that I usually read are Survivor, Amazing Race, and Travel (in Community Corner.) We'll see how she does - Opryland initially based their hiring policy on the premise that anyone could learn to dance but not everyone had a singing voice. After several years of this lunacy, they found that NOT everyone could learn to dance after all!

I can't wait to see Kate again. Her ex I hope I never see again. I'm also glad she got a good paying gig.

Yeah, I know they don't all get equal pay but I did read an article and Kate was one of three who they had on a wish list for awhile.. sorry I wish I could remember who the other two were.. and I'm assuming TLC helped her to negotiate what she gets to appear. The premise is someone learning to dance, though there are some WITH dance training.. they aren't hiring for a professional show. But we have an area to discuss that show.

When I saw activity in this thread, I was afraid Jon had gone and done something awful. I'm relieved to see that isn't the case.

I was watching Joy Behar's show on CNN the other night. She was interviewing Johnny Weir. Joy brought up DWTS and Kate. Johnny said he is not a kate fan and brought up that incident that was talked about here a while ago about her being a diva at a charity ice show. Joy seemed genuinely surprised. She said 'really? she was on our show and was as far from a diva than anyone could be' Johnny said 'i just know how she was on the ice show and from things other people have told me; I am fron PA.'. Joy again expressed surprised and said it would be awfully hard for someone to be so different. They both talked about how the last year could have been a humbling year. Joy ended the conversation with something to the effect of having found her very funny, lovely and self-efacing. I just thought it was interesting that Joy came to Kate's rescue.

Rumor has it that Jon was offered $20,000 to do a Playgirl spread. Yikes.

Well, Erniesgirl, if she does the pictorial, her photos will look better than if she'd never had the tummy-tuck, LOL! That doesn't seem like enough money for Kate to pose for a magazine, though. Wasn't she getting $75K per episode of J&K+8?
