Jon Gosselin Surrenders, Says TLC Can Film Kids If They Drop Suit

Barely four months after he brought the filming of Jon & Kate Plus 8 to a screeching halt, Jon Gosselin’s lack of income has daddy saying uncle. According to Radar, JoGo will let TLC film his children again if they drop the multi-million dollar breach-of-contract lawsuit against him. Though the concerned father claimed in October it wasn’t “healthy” for kids Cara, Mady, Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel to have their lives chronicled on TV, in 2010 he’s apparently a little more worried about the well-being of his wallet at the moment, rich girlfriend or no.

But even if TLC agrees to the terms and drops their injuction against him, allowing JoGo to give high-profile interviews, seek his own reality show and make more stupid Funny Or Die videos, don’t assume a re-tooled Kate Plus 8 will hit the air. The network has already been working on a kidless Kate project, and may decide to see that through. At the same time, it’s hard to iamgine they could resist bringing the kids back for at least a special or two. Bring on the cute!

Take a look back at some of the sexy times we’ve had with JoGo since his split with Kate in the gallery below.

Moving to Utah won’t save Jon Gosselin from the crapstorm he left in NYC. According to Radar, the Manhattan District Attorney’s office plans to summon JoGo back to the Big Apple and have him answer questions about the criminal report filed against ex Hailey Glassman, accused of ransacking his apartment and stabbing an angry note to his dresser with a kitchen knife (Glassman denied the accusations). “The more [the police] looked into it, the more they’ve felt like it was a publicity stunt on Jon’s part,” says their source. “They absolutely thought the butcher knife part of it was complete ‘B.S.’—something out of a bad B movie!” Hey, “bad B movies” would actually be a step up for JoGo these days.

“This is serious stuff if the D.A.’s office wants to speak to him directly. And if he refuses to voluntarily show, they could make it difficult for him and issue a subpoena—basically, forcing him to appear.” Finally, an interview TLC can’t shut down! “The D.A. doesn’t like people filing false police reports and they could certainly make him an example.” Looks like this year could be even worse for daddy dearest than 2009 was.

Jon Gosselin’s love affair with NYC may be coming to an end. Though he fled to the Big Apple to escape his ex-wife and seek solo stardom less than a year ago, the former reality show (and presumably still real-life) father of eight has been spending most of his time in Park City, Utah with new girlfriend Morgan Christie. According to E!, JoGo told Sundance Film Festival-goers at the Sky Lodge that “Park City is my home now,” even purchasing a home in the area. He certainly looked happier than usual hopping from gifting lounge to gifting longue at the festival with Christie this weekend. But how exactly will our cash-strapped hero be paying for his new pad?

“He’s been staying at Morgan’s parents house in Park City,” says their source.  “Her father is big in finance.” Young girlfriend with deep pockets or no, we’d understand if the muzzled moocher needed a change in scenery. After all, New York City is where he roamed the streets by horse with former soulmate Hailey Glassman, who’s still hopping mad about those burglary accusations. But even if Glassman can’t be bothered to send a process server across the country, we wouldn’t be surprised if Michael Lohan and Kate Major decide to pay their old friend a visit. If JoGo’s staying in town, there must be gold in thar hills.

Jon Gosselin may want nothing to do with ex-girlfriend Kate Major and former buddy Michael Lohan, but the business partners/skating buddies sure want a piece of him. “Listen Mr. Jon Gosselin, it’s about time you man up and accept the offer and get in the ring,” Major told Radar, demanding JoGo face MiLo for one of those Celebrity Boxing matches Lindsay’s dad is always putting on. “For once in your life, face up  to somebody you’ve hurt and take it down, Jon. Take it down.” She’s also got harsh words for JoGo’s latest ladyfriend, Morgan Christie. “I don’t know if she missed out on the last year, but I’d really like to warn her and her family to really look at the type of person that Jon is and look at what he did to his other ex’s.” But with TLC’s muzzle, could JoGo make an appearance even if he wanted to?

In case this wasn’t enough less-than-classy Lohan news for you, TMZ reports that Lohan got Major a shelter puppy for Christmas—a dog they then abandoned at a veternarian’s office after it wrecked her apartment and needed heartworm treatment. Major, unsurprisingly, is less than penitent. “We rescued the dog and the dog had a lot more problems and they did not make us aware of the issues. The dog destroyed the house…the shelter told us they had someone else to adopt. It’s pathetic that someone needs to use press to get their rescue shelter in the news.” Tough talk from a woman famous for f—ing a reality show star, and now using a tabloid to challenge him to a boxing match.

With his lawyers still threatening to file charges against Hailey Glassman for allegedly slashing up Jon Gosselin’s apartment with a butcher knife (she swears it’s a publicity hoax), we can’t blame the girl for sounding less than glowing about her ex’s new girl, 25-year-old Morgan Christie. “Congratulations for finding yet another young girl with a rich family,” Glassman told Radar, acknowledging his type. “I hope he marries her so he can pay me my money back.” He paid you in fame, girl! If it wasn’t for JoGo’s midas touch she’d just be the daughter of a doctor, and nowhere near Michael Lohan’s celebrity boxing ring. How much would that suck?

“You know what I have to say to her? ‘Tag, you’re it!’,” she said. “He did the same thing to me and my family. He was living with us. I wish him all the best, but any tears I shed for him now are tears of joy.” One does have to wonder why well-to-do families let Jon Gosselin into their lives…and why the ladies can’t stop talking to tabloids when he leaves.

Jon Gosselin may be abiding by TLC’s muzzle, but that doesn’t stop his life from being the wild, sexy ride we know it to be. According to People, JoGo has aimed his seducto-beam at Morgan Christie, a 25-year-old thang he met while skiing in Utah (the pair were reportedly seen dining with her parents in Park City yesterday). “She grew up very privileged, tons of money,” says their source. Woo! Sounds like just the kind of sugar not-a-mama that could help with his mounting legal bills! A trashy light at the end of the trashy tunnel!

Not that JoGo has forgotten the other notches on his belt. In fact, he’s thinking about seeing Hailey Glassman again…in court! Radar reports JoGo has decided to pursue charges against his former soulmate for ransacking his apartment over Christmas and leaving a threatening note on the end of a kitchen knife (Glassman denies doing anything other than moving out). If only TLC would let our hero give us the low down!

According to Page Six, the battle between Jon Gosselin and ex-girlfriend Hailey Glassman went into high gear after Hailey repeatedly smooched Celebrity Boxing promoter Damon Feldman at a press conference two weeks ago. “That picture started the whole thing, a picture of her kissing another man,” said their source. Glassman filed a police report four days after the pics were taken, claming Gosselin “pushed her against a wall” and verbally attacked her. If JoGo can’t exploit his fame with the paparazzi anymore, no one will!

Lawyer Mark Heller, speaking for the TLC-muzzled papa, displayed his trademark wit in response. “Jon is a lover, not a fighter. He’s been rumored to steal a kiss here and there, but he has never been accused of landing a sucker punch.” Classy bon mots like that—and his threats that Hailey will do jail time for allegedly ransacking JoGo’s apartment—aren’t impressing anyone. “For an attorney to go out there and say someone’s going to jail when they’re not even arrested – that’s just irresponsible,” said Glassman lawyer Stephanie Ovadia. “That is the most ludicrous, ridiculous, unnecessary statement I have ever heard in my life.” He’s only getting started, Stephanie. He’s only getting started.

Hailey Glassman moves out of Jon Gosselin’s apartment Christmas Eve. JoGo gets back after the holiday to find his pillows shredded and TV missing. Coincidence? JoGo attorney Mark Heller doesn’t think so.  “Jon Gosselin called me [Saturday] afternoon,” Heller told E!. “On the occasion when he entered his apartment in Manhattan and was horrified, disheartened and saddened to observe the devastation of his furniture, clothing and personal belongings, which were apparently slashed with a butcher knife by a very troubled and sick perpetrator.” Said knife was found plunged into JoGo’s dresser with a note signed by Hailey—or someone claiming to be her. Whatever happened to the carriage kissers of two months ago?

Though police have failed to press charges and Glassman’s lawyer says its a set-up (”Somebody appears to be trying to frame her, it appears to be a huge, huge, publicity stunt and nothing else”), Heller isn’t backing down. “Hailey Glassman is going to jail. It’s a simple as that,” he told Radar. “The building security tape will not lie and the evidence will speak for itself…Jon feels like he was raped.” While we’re sad to hear that about the destruction of Gosselin family heirlooms (not the Ming vase, Hailey!), we don’t think statements like that are going to bring JoGo much in the way of public sympathy.

In 2009, a lot of ordinary people became famous for next-to-nothing, previously A-list stars fell from grace, and quasi-celebs made outlandish statements for publicity. From the Balloon Boy stunt to Glenn Beck’s fear-mongering to Tiger Woods‘ mistresses coming out of the woodwork; some people really tested our patience and wore us thin. Here are the top nine “celebrity” losers we hope go into hiding for 2010.

9. Balloon Boy’s Dad: Think little Falcon Henne had any idea about his fame-guzzlin’ father’s publicity plot while he was chillin’ in a box in their attic? We doubt it, and the little guy’s televised bodily functions pretty well summed up how we felt about the whole stunt after we wasted hours of our lives watching an empty weather balloon float above Colorado.

8. Carrie Prejean: The dethroned Miss USA contestant first ignited a media firestorm with her statement against marriage equality during the Miss USA pageant. Her controversial proclamation was just the tip of the iceberg, as a flurry of nude photos and sex tapes followed over the next several months, as well as an exceptionally awkward appearance on “Larry King Live.”

Seven more losers after the jump.

Jon Gosselin got a legal smackdown from TLC last week, keeping him from seeking on-air employment or even unapproved interviews. And as suggested by his “I’m too famous for a normal job” countersuit, JoGo doesn’t have much in the way of a Plan B. “Jon’s in pretty serious financial trouble because his plan for making money was shut down in court,” reports a source for Fox 411. “He has warned his lawyers that he can’t pay them and if he doesn’t succeed against TLC, he will have no funds.  He’s even gone so far as to say that if they want to be paid, they will have to sue him.” Think papa’s empty pockets will inspire him to let the kids back on air?

Mark and Mike Heller, the legal team Michael Lohan reportedly hooked up with JoGo, say they’re standing by their man. “This past year, Jon Gosselin was the most photographed man in America and appeared in more magazines than any other reality TV star. Wherever he goes, there is an outpouring of love for him from his fans.  And there is no doubt that he has a bright and shining career ahead of him.” JoGo will appreciate the support—TMZ reports that the final arbitration in his divorce from Kate Gosselin is “imminent.” While the outcome is confidential, we can’t imagine much goes to the guy not taking care of the eight kids.
