We’ll admit that for months - nay, years - now, we’ve wondered what it would look like if Kate Gosselin grew out that sh*t-show atop her head and replaced it with long, flowing synthetic, highly flammable locks. And thanks be to God, we now know the answer: She looks exactly the same. Join us as we bow at the paper feet of People magazine, who stuck Kate and her new do (wig? Jessica Simpson hair extensions?) on their latest cover, above the headline, “I’m Starting Over!”
While the thought of more Gosselin drama mostly makes us want to erase K-Go (and let’s be honest, the entire G-D Internet) from our brains ala Enternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, we can’t help but feel a bit of pity for the “Jersey Shore” crew lurking over her shoulder in the sidebar. They’re the next coming of reality TV superstars, and yet they’re still overshadowed by a woman who’s famous for getting effed over by IVF drugs. Sometimes those 15 minutes just ain’t fair.

Super-mom Kate Gosselinis clearly trying to figure how she’s gonna make some money now that “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ is officially off the air. Her latest ploy? Heading back to her reality TV show roots, of course. Kate told Jay Leno that she’s got her eye on “Dancing With the Stars,” the mega-hit dance show that churns out ratings and reignites D-Listers’ careers. If Mario Lopez can have a comeback after fox-trotting on national TV, then why can’t ol’ beaver hair Gosselin?
“Yes, ‘Dancing with the Stars’ because I cannot dance,” she told Jay. “I want to laugh at myself. I so cannot dance. It would be a sad sight.”
Surely, by “laugh at myself” she means, “I need more cash, stat. Help me reality TV producers!” We hope they hear her plea. Who doesn’t want to see that woman shake it awkwardly while being applauded by her miserable kids (besides her ex JoGo)? [Photo: GettyImages]
Jon Gosselingave the paps a sneak peek of his bangin’ bod while going through LAX security last night. Whatever pride Gosselin has left may have stopped him from starring in a self-deprecating (but hilarious) Funny Or Die video, but clearly it didn’t prevent him from revealing his pooch in public or looking like a dirtbag smoking during his layover.

A source has informed TheFABlife that the FunnyorDieJon Gosselin video the world watched yesterday was not actually the one he originally signed on to do. Turns out that flip-floppin’ hunk of man diva signed off on a script, flew out to L.A. (on the web site’s dime, natch) and then “balked at the idea and dropped out” the night before the shoot. Yep, that sounds like our Jon, stayin’ classy as usual.
Undeterred, the Funny Or Die guys persevered without their Ed Hardy-clad star, and shot the video with actor Eugene Cordero (who perfected his JoGo impression with this awesome Match.com spoof) portraying the dad of 8 because, our insider says, “Eugene is a much funnier Jon Gosselin than Jon Gosselin could be.”
We hate to add fuel the fame-whoring fire of Jon Gosselin and the Octomom, but the rumors of the two joining forces for reality television are too awesomely disastrous for us to ignore. The Gosselin camp is already furiously denying the dating show, but we’re holding out hope for the 22 children-deep couple.
TMZ allegedly obtained a copy of the pitch for the duo’s show, in which it boldly states that the “Jon + Nadya” show would challenge the ratings of “American Idol.” While that’s a lofty statement, they could count on viewership from theFABlife. We’re suckers for a good trainwreck. [Source: NY Daily News, TMZ; Photo: Splash News Online]
On the heels of Jon Gosselin having an “epiphany” and yanking his eight little ones out of their hit reality show and ending its run in November, TLC is suing Jon for breach of contract. The lawsuit says that, in recognition of “the Gosselins’ difficult personal circumstances, TLC asked both parents to refrain from making public statements about each other, the divorce, or the program, and negotiated an agreed “cooling off” period with respect to media communications for 45 days.” TLC claims Jon violated that agreement by appearing on other shows for pay and making unauthorized disclosures about the show.
Jon’s attorney, Mark Jay Heller, says, of course, the lawsuit is all wrong. “This litigation is clearly a tactic that Discovery and TLC have initiated in furtherance of their hunger to jump back on the gravy train, but Jon Gosselin has decided to put the breaks on the Discovery and TLC trainwreck,” he said. Jon’s not looking so good these days since he was ordered to put back $180,000 into his and Kate Gosselin’s joint bank account, after allegedly pulling it out. Let’s see how this one plays out!

Nancy Grace ripped Jon Gosselin a new a-hole last night on “The Insider,” taking him to task for his shady business of bangin’ 22-year-olds and halting production on “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ only after he was kicked off the show. JoGo looked like a reality star caught in headlights during Grace’s tirades, mumbling responses to her hard-hitting questions. At times, the tubby Ed Hardy fan sat in stunned silence until his lawyer chimed in. Needless to say, we loved every minute of it. [Via Jezebel]
Jon Gosselin continued his confusing PR campaign this weekend, in which he attempts to charm disillusioned “fans” by doing shady, slimy things. According to Kate Gosselin’s lawyers, ol’ JoGo got busy with the couple’s cash this weekend, withdrawing over $200,000 from their joint bank account without telling his ex-wife. Classy!
Apparently the money came from a bank account Kate uses to pay the family bills, and neither Gosselin is allowed to touch it without the other’s consent. In true reality whore form, Kate showed up on “The Today Show” this morning to flaunt her tears and reverse mullet in an attempt to gain the public’s sympathy. Yep, we’ll admit it - it kinda worked on us. Watch above.
“Jon and Kate Plus 8″ has officially become “Kate Plus 8.” Jon Gosselin will no longer appear on the hit TLC show and according to a show source, his recent behavior is to blame.
“Given Jon’s recent antics, there was no way the show could continue to portray him as a doting dad, not while all this other crap was going on,” a source on the show says.
The show received a ratings spike after the Gosselin’s marriage crumbled, but then only 4.2 million viewers tuned in August 3 and only 1.7 million watched last Monday. [Source: People.com; Photo: Getty Images]
Who needs Ed Hardy? Jon Gosselin is going to start his own clothing line. “I’m doing a line called “Gosselin Gear,” Jon told The FABlife while hanging out at the Hotel on Rivington House of Hype post-VMA party. As for that rumored line with Ed Hardy owner Christian Audigier? “I think Christian just used me to get publicity,” Jon told us.
How about the rest of his life? “I’ll be officially divorced in a couple days,” Jon said gladly. Although he and Kate Gosselin are hammering out custody issues, Jon was in good spirits and also confirmed that things with him and girlfriend Hailey Glassman are “great.” [Photo: Getty Images]
