Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Regis Was Wrong

A couple of weeks ago, Regis suggested to Kate Gosselin that he believed reconciliation was on the horizon.  She just stared blankly and they mercifully cut to commercial.  Lest any of you are holding out hope, Jon Gosselin is crystal clear on the possibility of a Jon & Kate Plus 8: Together Again in a new Good Morning America interview (it airs tomorrow).

“Our relationship will never be fixed,” he tells ABC News’ Chris Cuomo. “… I don’t trust her anymore. I was abused … I was beaten down … I’m not going back to that life style.”

“She knows the truth,” he says. “I wish to God, she would speak from emotions … She’s not speaking from the heart. Please — the stuff you tell me in private should be the stuff you tell me on TV.”

Oh, yes.  I think “The stuff you tell me in private should be the stuff you tell me on TV” should be worked into traditional wedding vows for everyone.  Jon Gosselin has lost all ability to edit and I’m really enjoying watching from the sidelines.  He’s like the kid who was raised in a strict Mormon household and then leaves home and moves to Manhattan.  He’s drunk with self-empowerment and personal freedom.

The breaking point in the marriage, according to Jon, came when he wanted to go out with his friends.  In case you didn’t know, I had a very similar fight in one of my own relationships.  When I was 14.

“In 10 years, I’ve never gone out … When she said, ‘I don’t want you going out,’ I … I used to say, ‘OK, I’m not going to go out.’ I was very passive. This is the first time I said, ‘You know what? I want to see my friends. I’m going out,'” he says. “That was the first time in my life I ever stood up to Kate … I just felt like I had to take back some time in my life, and I did it. And I felt really good. I made my own decision … I was beaten down for so long, I couldn’t even make my own decision. And when I did, I was like, holy cow! You know? Yeah, what’s she gonna do? Divorce me? All right. Obviously. You know.”

At this point, Jon is spending time reconnecting with his family — his family that all obviously hated Kate.  “My mom and my brothers, they say to me, ‘It’s so good to have the real Jon back. It’s so good to have the warm, loving, kind, caring person that we knew you when you were … before you got married.’  I’ve changed for her. Because I loved her … But don’t forget who you are. That’s what happened to me.”  Yeah, I’m sure his folks said that to him.  “We’re so glad you’re back Jon.  We’re so happy you decided to quit marriage to the mother of your eight children and hook up with young twenty-somethings everywhere, all whilst wearing skull and rose t-shirts.”

Jon also griped about his $22,000 therapy bill — I can’t believe TLC hasn’t taken care of that — and hopes that Kate gets help for her issues.

“I learned about myself. If she’s not going to therapy, she’s not going to fix herself, then it’s not going to work. It takes two people,” he says. “I have a $22,000 therapy bill. I mean, I tried to have marriage counseling. I did it myself. She refused to go.”

Reflecting on his failed marriage, Jon says, “I felt maybe I was too passive. Maybe I didn’t stand my grounds 10 years ago — even to stick up for my kids. But it’s gone. I can’t get that back.”

“I don’t cry, I cried at my dad’s funeral. That’s it,” he says, “but like, I’ve cried more now in the last, like, eight months than … my whole entire life.”

What does Jon want to say to viewers?

“I just want to let the world know that I’m a real person with feelings,” he says. “OK, I’ve made mistakes. Maybe it wasn’t the best idea to go out to the clubs. But we all learn from mistakes, except mine are public.”

You know what, dude?  Your mistakes are public because every time you fuck another sorority girl and then justify it, you call your agent to set up an interview.  I’m sure a lot of what you said is true and I’m sure Kate has plenty of negative she could say about you.  She’s doing this controlled, pursed lips, politically correct thing and you’re giving away all the fodder that could be bound into a 99-cent bargain bin paperback.  I’m sick of the whole fucking lot of Gosselins.  Team Jon & Kate Evaporate!

  • and let the now popular Jon bashing commence…….
    look here http://evilbeetgossip.film.com/2008/05/20/does-anyone-else-watch-jon-kate-plus-eight/

    all of you seem to be singing a different tone there…seemed everyone wanted to kill Kate and molest Jon, now it’s all about Jon bashing now that he’s free to do what he wants and is doing it.

    read carefully kiddies…I personally don’t care for either of them but pick a side and stay there lewsers.

  • OMFG…….there are no words for his quotes…..

    Didn’t he get a publicist and manager at one of the top firms?? Aren’t they supposed to be the ones who stop him from saying sh-t like this???

  • I’ve always been team Jon. I can’t believe he stayed with the witch as long as he did. I know (and believe he knows) he made some poor choices but it seems he really tried and once he got free he went a little wild. He still seems to be the closest with his kids and I support him all the way. Kate is a complete phony.publicity whore! She’s trying to be all sweet and relaxed on the show know. Maybe if she had been like that she’d still have a marriage.

    • I totally agree. I think it will be better for the kids in the long run not to be around their parents together, learning how to horribly treat the opposite sex. It was so shameful the way they behaved around the brood.

      My two cents: Maddie’s future will require the retainer of a criminal defense lawyer. She is the poster child for bratty, it’s-all-about-me, obnoxious kids. Another mistake in their long list….never correcting that kid’s foul attitude.

      Kudos Wendie, for some very funny writing today!

  • I wish both would shut their mouths already, Jon and Kate. Plenty get divorced every day and go on their sep, way and take care of their children. I wonder, does Jon think that being a whiney douche is going to get him laid more? What a turn off. On top of his disgusting body, gross bald spot, douche wardrobe…He’s such dream! Can it get any better?

  • Wow, you don’t think your Jon hatin is a little overboard? Yeah the dude is making a few mistakes, but not many of us walk around with that kind of microscope glaring down our backs.

    I always laughed at his tolerance of the things she’d say to him from their couch on that show. He’d just roll his eyes and blow it off. I’d say he did it for too long. Kate should be ashamed for the way she’s using her litter of puppies to build her own fame. She so insincere, it is hard to even hear what she says anymore.

    Jon is immature, but he’s real. Cut him a bit of slack. He married a bitch and tried to hang in for too long.

  • WTF with the hate on JON at least he’s coming out and defending himself. Kate just wants to make herself look good. The truth should be known….so yeah shut the f*&* up with all your hating.

  • If a man acts like a child he deserves to be treated like a child. By his behavior he’s a very childish immature man, and a piss poor parent and i think most people have caught on to this mewling man-child and his constant crying and bemoaning – she’s the one handling the money, the majority of the kids lives – he’s showing up for a paycheck, otherwise she’d be chasing him for non existent child support checks.

    I give TLC less than a season to realize he’s repelling viewers, and drop him like the bad stink he is.

  • You know what they both got what they deserved. Im surprised they held it together for so long. Jon seems like a mamma’s boy, that left the nest and went straight to Kate. Im sure Kate was always controlling and he liked it at first, bc he needed someone to give him direction. He wasnt confident on his own. Now that he has money he thinks that he is all that bc sorority whores are trying to jump on his dick/money train. Kate always wanted a wimpy man to do what she wanted, but then she had 8 kids and couldnt deal with parenting her husband too,especially when he was misbehaving much more than he used to. What she needs is an equally driven and ambitious goal oriented person, and she’ll have her little martha stewart-esque empire in no time. Kate is tight lipped bc she is saving it for her next book, which will lead to her talk show, health food brand, children’s wear line, world domination etc.

  • Seriously, when are you going to stop beating this dead horse? EVERYONE who ever watched J&K+8 knows WITHOUT A DOUBT that she is a raging bitch and would be a HORROR to be married to. I’m surprised that guy lasted as long as he did. If he talked to her the way she did for 10 yrs to him everyone would be screaming that he was Abusive Shes mean to the core and a total Monster

    , she grabbed his balls any chance she took. He lost his manhood
    Okay hes imature so WHAT he loves his kids I feel sorry for the guy, He will always be tied to that Lunatic

  • Kate should be ashamed for the way she’s using her litter of puppies to build her own fame. She so insincere, it is hard to even hear what she says anymore.

  • She Triler Trash with an attitude What she needs is an equally driven and ambitious goal oriented person, and she’ll have her little martha stewart-esque empire in no time. Kate is tight lipped bc she is saving it for her next book, which will lead to her talk show, health food brand, children’s wear line, world domination etc.

  • Jon is immature, but he’s real. Cut him a bit of slack. He married a bitch and tried to hang in for too long.

  • Kates a Monster, remember THe Kate Going Green ? Kate’s going green as much as the sky is turning purple. She took zero interest in what was going on, how the solar panels worked, etc etc. All she did was complain about them being there, disrupting her castle and her life. The ONLY thing she was interested in knowing was HOW much money she was going to save. She is such a hypocrite. I truly don’t know how anyone can actually stand to be around her. Steve Thomas was indeed gracious , friendly, etc, while all she did was throw insult around,,, Esp. when she insulted him and Quoted his name in a very sarcastic way. Will TLC ever hold her accountable for this inexcusable behavior. I am so done watching, even if it is just out of curiosity. If I want to hear what the show was about, or better yet, what rude ass behavior Kate did, I will read it on the internet.
