Though I was recently ranting about celebrity justice, or rather the lack of it, it turns out karma can sometimes sort itself out. Case in point? Jon Gosselin getting sued by TLC, the once formerly-friendly station that hosted Jon & Kate Plus 8. (As if there's a person left in the continental United States bereft of this information.) Rumor has it that Jon found out about the lawsuit the old-fashioned way - by Googling himself! Oh yes, the class act continues. A few douchy details, via The Hollywood Gossip:

[Jon Gosselin hasn't played by the rules as an exclusive employee of TLC, the network alleges, accusing the Jon & Kate Plus 8 dad of appearing on other shows for pay and making unauthorized disclosures about the TLC show. As a result, the King of Pimps is being sued for breach of contract. The lawsuit, filed today in Maryland's Circuit Court of Montgomery County, says that in June, in recognition of "the Gosselins' difficult personal circumstances," TLC asked both to refrain from making public statements about each other.

A 'cooling off' period was negotiated and was supposed to have put a lid on Jon for at least 45 days. But he went on to appear regularly on ET, The Insider and other shows to discuss life, the show, Kate being an abusive monster, etc. The suit also accuses Jon of selling photographic rights to various celebrity gossip magazines and other media outlets, also in violation of Jon's TLC contract. Moreover, dude didn't show up for work September 24 as required, even given six days' notice. Hey, he's got things to see and mediocre girls to do, okay?]

Some people aren't cut out for the limelight and Jon certainly appears to be one of them. He fits in perfectly with our rabid consumption of "reality" television, but true stardom isn't beckoning. What gave it away? Perhaps his close friendship with ultimate bad-dad, Michael Lohan. Revel in my intelligent observations! No one puts two and two together like me. As Jake brilliantly surmised, "people get off on hating them so much that Jon and Kate Gosselin merchandise should be sold in sex shops." Couldn't have said it better myself, though I do shudder at the thought of the likeness of Jon's penis appearing anywhere in public... it's surely been places I do not want to visit!
