What's The Afternoon Without A Whiff Of Douche?

[Jon Gosselin will countersue TLC for $5 million, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively. The reality TV star is the defendant in a breach of contract lawsuit from the cable network and now will file his own lawsuit. Jon is facing a preliminary injunction hearing in Maryland court on December 14 and, as RadarOnline.com reported exclusively, he will be forced to testify.

But now Jon and his team of Hellers (Mike and Mark) have decided the best defense is an offense. In the past they have contended that Jon was not adequately represented when he signed his TLC contract. TLC is represented by Washington, D.C. law firm Williams & Connolly.

In its lawsuit against Jon, TLC claims he has breached his contract repeatedly and points out that he and Kate had legal representation when dealing with the network. The lawsuit contends that their contract was renegotiated several times.

One fact that neither side has addressed publicly is the cost of this litigation. Williams & Connolly is widely regarded as one of the best law firms in the country and has a reputation for "scorched earth" tactics, meaning that opponents rarely are left with any secrets by the time the discovery process is over.  It is not known what the Hellers are charging Jon, but if litigation drags on in either lawsuit, the bill is likely to reach high six figures and beyond.]

Yikes! This does not bode well for Gosselin. I don't think he'll be able to withstand any revelations of secrets. That man has got to have more than one 20-something nanny hookup hiding in his closet! Insult to injury? Alleged fling, Kate Major, has also been called to testify. You know she'll be serving up a heaping dish of dirt. Details: 

[Kate quit her job as a reporter at Star magazine while having a romantic relationship with Jon, who has since denied that they were romantically involved. That denial incensed Kate and sources tell RadarOnline.com that she is very much looking forward to testifying against Jon in the breach of contract lawsuit. Kate has given several interviews since her breakup with the Jon & Kate Plus 8 star and she has repeatedly blasted him.]

My guess is that Jon won't have a pot to piss in after this is all over. Looks like his kids better be prepared to start working at a very young age!
