What's The Point Of Hiring A High Powered PR Firm If You Use Michael Lohan As A Mouthpiece?

michael-lohan-as-joseph-nativity.jpgWhat more is there to say? That is my official question to Jon Gosselin today. I have to admit that I didn't watch Jon & Kate Plus Eight, but Jon's recent life choices seem to be the gift that keeps on giving. Fascinating, horrifying with the ability to sully anyone in his path. It's like the Enquirer built a superhero clad in Ed Hardy. Apparently having the services of NYC PR firm Rubenstein isn't enough for Mr. Gosselin. Enter Michael Lohan - 'cuz that seems like a great idea! Michael says

["He would love to be friends with her," says Lohan, the estranged father of Lindsay Lohan, who's been showing Gosselin around the Hamptons. "They had eight kids and he would like to work things out the right way and just be friends."

The new buddies spent Saturday in Southampton, attending a business meeting, walking on the beach - where they were met by paparazzi - and shopping at a J. Crew store for clothes to wear to a polo match in Bridgehampton that afternoon. "A lot of opportunities are opening up for him," Lohan says of his friend, referring to possible endorsement deals.

Lohan also says Gosselin is in a good mood these days. "He's fantastic and upbeat and said that he just wanted to concentrate on his kids and his career and his life," he said. "It's overwhelming for him but he's handling it."

As for for Gosselin's gal pal Hailey Glassman and the former Star magazine reporter Gosselin's been spotted with, Kate Major, "he's not with either one right now," Lohan reports. "He's not concentrating on a relationship with any woman. He just wants to take a step back and deal with his family and his kids."]

So I guess the engagement is off between Jon and 22 year old Hailey? What a shock. Kudos to Michael Lohan for his unique way of staying in the spotlight. Cleverness and tacky media stunts must run in the family! I can't wait to hear what Michael decides to tell us about Jon next...
