Hi, My Name's Jon Gosselin. (Hi, Jon!) And I'm a Fame-aholic.
Date: 11/02/2009
Here are three reasons to suspect that you're a fame-a-holic. One, your life is a disaster. Two, even when you come to terms with your mistakes and apologize to those you've hurt, you have a microphone clipped to your lapel. Three, you have turned your life over to your spiritual counselor, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach. Yesterday Jon Gosselin, erstwhile star of "Jon & Kate Plus 8" finally admitted he ...

Is Jon Gosselin Now Jewish?
Date: 10/12/2009
When Dad-of-the-Year Jon Gosselin of "Jon & Kate Plus 8" started dating Hailey Glassman a few months ago, I don't think many of us (and by "us" I mean fans of the show, people who read tabloids, and/or those in the media forced to actually pay attention to what's going on with the Gosselin family) expected him to take an active role in her faith life. I don't think many of us even stopped to th ...

Date: 10/09/2009
America continues to be gripped by Jon and Kate Gosselin whose marriage has now gone belly up and whose TV show seems to be following suit. After TLC informed Jon that he will no longer play a significant role in the show, he informed TLC that he is pulling the plug on his children's participation. Many cried foul.

Jon And Kate And How NOT To End A Marriage
Date: 10/05/2009
I was eighteen when my parents' marriage fell apart. It was - as the collapse of marriages usually are when there are children involved - terrible. One of the more difficult aspects, for me, of the collapse of their marriage was my mother's need to talk to me about it. She suspected ( rightly ) my father of having an affair, and she was heartbroken, and she wanted to express her heartbreak to her ...
