"Is anybody out there? Does anybody care?" Not merely lyrics from Def Leppard's classic song, Foolin' - thanks to Jon Gosselin, they've practically became an anthem. I thought Kate was a prize bitch when Jon & Kate Plus 8 first came to my attention. I had no idea that a massive douchebag was looming in the background. Spencer who? Jon wants to make sure you're out there and that you care - about him. What's best for the kids this week? It apparently depends on how much attention the wayward father happens to be receiving. Check it out:
[Gosselin, accompanied by his attorney, Mark Jay Heller, told
King, "It's not healthy for my kids to be on the show... it's detrimental to
them. It's my right as a parent and as a father of my kids to determine whether
the show is good for my family. I don't think it's healthy for them because
we're going through a divorce right now. I don't think it should be televised
and I think my kids should be taken off the show." According to Heller, Jon is also concerned that the children
are not being compensated. This is a far cry from what Jon was saying just a few months
ago.]
I can't believe I'm siding with Kate. Did it just get a bit chillier? I'm pretty sure hell just froze over. Here's what she has to say:
["I'm saddened and confused by Jon's public media statements.
Jon has never expressed any concerns to me about our children being involved in
the show and, in fact, is on the record as saying he believes the show benefits
our children and was taping on Friday with the kids. I check in regularly with each of the kids to be sure they
want to participate in and continue with the show and will continue to do so,"
Kate, 34, continues. "I do the show for my family because I believe it provides
us opportunities we wouldn't otherwise have. Jon used to share that belief
until as recently as the day the network announced the name change of the show
and indicated that Jon would have a lesser role in the show. It appears that
Jon's priority is Jon and his interests. My priority remains our children and
their well-being."]
Oh, Jon! You're veil of concern is a hell of a lot thinner than you.
