Can’t wait to see what Jon is going to do…
Is this the same Jon Gosselin that claimed to want a private life?

*****
Yes, yes it is. Go figure.
LOL, it’s what most of the Kate supporters said all along. Jon “RPG” Gossein was nothing but a sham. (Regular Private Guy).
I’m glad Kate said they are getting along better now. But, what a dog to hound Kate all that time for his own agenda.
You’re right Lily. We knew he didn’t really like his simple, normal life when he made that home made video lecturing Kate.
.
Wonder if the haters will tweet him for hours calling him a LIAR.
Jon has a brighter future in TV/Advertising anything to do with the public that Kate will ever have. He isn’t riding on the backs on his kids.
But Paula, I thought he wanted to live a “private life”? How is being in TV private?
There is room for both of them in the entertainment field and the kids will benefit the most from both parents keeping actively employed.
Paula: Of course he is riding on the backs of his kids. Would anyone know him if not for the plus eight? Goose/Gander!!

*****************8
Same as Kate ~No one would know Jon if it wasn’t for having 8 children.
As for Jon having a brighter future in TV ~LMAO.
I wish him luck but IMO he doesn’t have the personality for much.
The last appearance he did at that club (can’t remember the name and it was quite awhile ago) was a flop and had very little mention. Maybe this company will do better for him. Hope he hangs onto his $s this time. I wish him well. A happy Jon would be good for the kids.
Of course no one would know Jon if not for the children and the show. I hope he finds something that suits him in the business.
I can’t help but wonder if that’s why he dumped Ellen.
I also give him credit for blocking Ash on his twitter and all the other low lives that bring their hate for Kate to his twitter. I laughed so hard when I saw her tell someone else he blocked her for talking crap about Kate.
Lilly: I agree. A happy Jon, and a Jon with some money for decent child support would make all ten happier.
I agree with you, #8 Pam. As I understand he still has a ‘regular’ job outside entertainment. Of course, I don’t know what this agency has planned for him, but I think Jon could be a commodity, especially in his local area. Maybe he’s planning on writing a book too. Who knows? As far as I’m concerned it’s his business and I only wish him the best because I want the best for the kids.
.
His actions and words are in the past and can’t be changed, but he appears to be moving on productively (as is Kate), so it’s all good, IMO.
I just don’t think Jon can say he wants to live a private life anymore. Granted, all he’s done is sign with a company. He hasn’t actually done anything in the entertainment field, yet. But if he’s going to put himself out there again, he shouldn’t expect a “private life”.
The haters have bashed Kate for years, making money off her kids, yet they forget Jon made money also. Jon blew through his money, now it seems being single again in his life, he wants to go public. Maybe that’s why he dumped Ellen, he wanted the fame all to himself with no one hanging on his arm, having to share the spotlight. I wish him well, but I see nothing in the entertinment field that would have his name on it. Time will tell—-
This father’s saga continues. At least when he was in Philly a couple of weeks ago…he had a mission, & apparently this agency must think he has potential. I wish him nothing but fair winds at his back. At least he chose PA & not NYC Heller…as was also public info on Twitter.
/
One might guess, from his Twitter feed, that he is hawking youth-filled pubs that promote cheap drinks & local musicians. I hope I am dead wrong w. that grand assumption. Somehow Jon, pubs, & pick-up joints have not been his friend.
I hope this works out for Jon and he gets a free coffee pot from Keurig.
LMAO Sage 🙂
Nicely put I might add. 🙂
LMAO @ Sage. Good to see you lady!!!
Hi Sage: Still miss you. You see I am an herb now. You can re-start your blog anytime now. Tonight is not too soon for me.
I second that Rosemary.
I wish Jon the best in what ever he chooses to do even though I dislike the way he handled the divorce I do think he only wants the best for his kids.
Jon and Kate both need to make as much money as they can, they have 8 children to put through college, 6 of them will be in college at the exact same time. Yikes!!
I love IW, but I miss Sage and her sense of humor along with her group of herbs.
Sage that was the best comment.

———doubtful. As with Kate, no one would know Jon I’d no for the kids. Ther is room for both of them, employment of the parent is great for all of them. Jon should just be honest about it. Private guys don’t do media
Sage,
LOL, LOL ! Mybe the new BLONDE honey roast would fit the bill!
It would be so nice if the anti-Kates were to allow it’s okay for Kate to work in the media the same as they will Jon. As Marnie noted, no one would know Jon if not for the kids. I’ve read that time and time again along with “Kate doesn’t deserve to work in the media, she has no talent, yada, yada.” Jon working as a personality will equal providing for his kids, while Kate will remain a fame-seeking narcissist. But,they will look sillier than ever yelling at Kate to go away (for the sake of the kids, of course) while championing Jon. Silly old haters.
Oh Sage. thanks for that laugh. Yes, I do miss the SWE.
That was very funny Sage. I like Rosemary’s suggestion to re-start your blog tonight!
I, too, would like to know Jon’s talent? He does not speak or write well. Will he be in front or behind the camera? I guess time will tell. I have no problem with Jon working in the entertainment field or the media as long as Kate is given the same options.
Thanks for missing the SWE…I miss it too! Who knows maybe an herbal edition will be forthcoming. hmmm
Sage,
Wonderful———-we miss you!
Sage: We do need an update about the wedding, the baby etc. and other stuff as well.
Wasn’t John’s last gig at the Green Turtle Tavern? He tried to sell signed copies of his picture and there were no takers. If I recall, it was a total flop. Can’t imagine what “talent” he has, but if he can make some money to help support those eight kids, great. I just hope he has gained a little wisdom and doesn’t do anything that will be an embarrassment to his children.
Sageeeeeeee, Long time no see.
Oh my a possible herbal edition ~Woo hooo!
Even though Jon has stated in the past he would never go on Dancing with the Stars ~IMO he just might ~ he also said he wanted a private life.
I am curious to see what he is going to be offered.
I do not think that Jon has had an offer from DWTS. I think that if he had, he would have jumped right on it. I think that he mentioned somewhere, that he has rhythm. JMO of course. Jon, unlike Kate is free to take a job anywhere, at anytime. No kids to arrange a sitter or school pickups. In the past, he has shown that he has no problem leaving Kate with the full responsibility. On the other hand, if Jon could fully support the children, I think that Kate would be happy being a SAHM, writing her CC blog, a speech here and there and running a marathon or two a year.
i don’t mind that jon is trying to find a career in show business or whatever. not at all. why would i? it’s his life. just like it’s kate’s life.
when it’s all broken down it’s only their business what each does. i’m not a kate lover. or a jon hater. i know it’s not my business. i can have an opinion but that doesn’t give me (or any of you) the right to dictate or demand they have a career that we are ok with…even if that means they do talk about, have a show with, write a blog about their kids.
hi sage!! i hope you lmk when you open a blog!! i miss you!
deborah #12. ash as in ashley? carla’s daughter? i don’t twitter so have no clue who you mean!
No Kimmie, Ash as in ashmommy a hater on Kate’s twitter. It was on Jon’s twitter where I read her saying Jon blocked her for talking about Kate on his twitter.
thanks deb!
Kimmie, you’re welcome. Here’s a link to Jon’s twitter. If you scroll down you will see the tweet.
https://twitter.com/#!/search/realtime/jongosselin1
Paula H (The other Paula) I think Jon is going to write a book.
Hi Sage!
.
I agree with Pam’s comment #8. I don’t begrudge Jon success and happiness in whatever he wants to do. Success and happiness for both of their parents can only be good for the Gosselin kids.
This makes me wonder if it was true that they were under contract with TLC until Feb, does anyone know for sure? I also wonder if they make any money off of the shows running in other countries now. I do have to wonder how Polly and the BL are going to spin this one, their whole theme has been fame-w—-. versus “I’ve seen the light” regular guy/ saint/Jon. This does change that somewhat, but I have no doubt that they will be able tp provide numerous reasons as to why it is perfectly ok for Jon to do this without being considered a liar or a famew—-. That is the problem I have always had with the haters,the complete double standard. Jon has evert right to pursue whatever career path that makes him happy, so does Kate, and this double standard needs to stop.
I’ve seen a couple of tweets that hint that Jon is doing this because he has written a book. Anyone know anything about that? BTW, one of the worst of the worst, who was supposedly blocked from his twitter seems to be back.
naw, she’s still blocked. They are all blocked from Kate’s twitter too but that never stopped them.
Its my guess she’s just trying to save face. She knows she’s being laughed at.
Now she’s giving Jon permission to get back in the business but he has to keep his day job. Like he needs her approval or she has any say in his or anyones life but her own.
I saw that, Deborah! What a joke she is!!
Did you know it was International Women’s Day today? https://imperfectwomen.com/international-womens-day-2012/
I hope Jon is successful too. His current signing says more about what he wants than his past statements though http://rumorfix.com/2011/09/exclusive-jon-gosselin-gives-kate-gosselin-some-tough-love/
BlogHawg,
Yea what ever happened to Jon telling Kate to get a job? LMAO that you posted that interview.
I thought it was woman that changed their minds as often as their clothes.
Wishing both Jon & Kate happiness and success .. In any venture they may choose! Agree with all of you, they can both use all the paying gigs they can get, Raising children is expensive!
I really hope whatever Jon does is not met with the same vicious attacks & attempts of sabatage that Kates are!
I’d bet money they won’t be..
Waves to Sage & the herbs 😉
Hello to the herbs here tonight.
I must say, this does surprise me! I didn’t realize Jon was tweeting in public either. He was on private for so long..
.
What will Jon Gosselin do as a celebrity? I ‘m kind of looking forward to seeing what turns up for him. Maybe a cruise????
Interestin…’Jon Gosselin’s contract w. TLC is over in less than 24 hrs’. Looks as though Jon has himself a partnership w. a Boutique Talent Agency…whatever that is????
I wonder if he has resigned from his mediocre job yet? Especially, after the unkind remarks he made about some of the clients. I guess that he did not learn from TLC that it does not pay to bad mouth your current employer. He has been quite on Twitter for some reason. Wow, the anti’s were really wrong about the ending contact date. How can that be when they are “never” wrong?
Rosemary,
What did he say about his clients?
Ann, Jon bemoaning difficult clients was on his Twitter. He liked the people he worked for, but did not hold back on his clientele one iota.
Here’s his tweet about his clients Ann.
Jon Gosselin @jongosselin1
@shelg64 Love my job, love the people i work with, But the clients i have to deal with some are just complete a**holes!!! just sayin
HB, I don’t understand the partnership part of your comment #55. Is he a client of this Boutique Talent Agency or have a partnership in the business?
Can you imagine the uproar if Kate had said the very same words about the clientele of a company she represented?
There is something going on between Kate at @iPhillyChitChat right now. Does anyone know what that is about?
Yes, the philly guy was getting the haters worked up about a nasty story about Kate and the Red Cross event. Kate stepped in and blew his story. Its worth the read to check it out!!!
It was very entertaining. Kate stood her ground. He wanted a picture of Kate and Steve and she told him no he could have a photo of her and he wants to make something out of it. A juicy story about Kate and Steve.
Deborah, MKS Assoc.,Inc. describes themselves as a ‘Boutique Talent Agency’. Apparently Jon, last fall, did a Celebrity Sports Celeb bit w. them…on the radio. Click on the owner of the agency & maybe you can see something I didn’t, but they are JUST putting up their Info page & Facebook…& excited to have Jon join them. Who knows…he may have them as computer design clients…but from the whoopee, & the list of those the owner follows on Twitter, I’ guess what others have hinted – he has a book deal. Wonder what happened to the one he was penning w. Sylvia LaFair about 2 yrs. ago? She’d said it was due to debut in early spring of 2010…more than likely TLC quashed that????
Thanks Deborah, I read it and see what is going on. We will have to see what he writes.
Thanks HB and Deborah for answering that question for Ann. If those clients read twitter, they will know what he said about them, even though not named. I do not know if he uses his real name or not when he helps with their IT problems. Some people that I personally know that work in IT uses their real names and some do not.
Sounds like the Philly guy wants to make the story about Steve and Kate. He said wait for the pictures to come out. This does not sound good, but he could be throwing a bone to get a few hits and the haters to gossip about nothing. Look for pictures of Jon next week ,now that his contract is over with TLC. Jon writing a book?? Maybe he will have to visit with Sylvia, to see that he doesnt have a contract with her first.
I was thinking the same thing Snickers about throwing a bone to the haters for hits. We will just have to wait and see what he’s got.
If you scroll down on his timeline link you will see him schooling the haters that are trying to take him to school. Pretty good reading really.
https://twitter.com/#!/search/realtime/iPhillyChitChat
I think that @iPhillyChitChat is just blowing smoke, but we will see. Sounds like he got his feelings hurt about something. At least he is not agreeing with the haters that Jon is the better parent. He is also trying to explain to the haters that the INF photos with Jon were a set up, not reality.
Yup Rosemary it seems the PhillyChitChat guy is more in the know of how things shook down. The haters still won’t let go of their illusion of St. Jon.
I kinda hope if he’s going to spend more time on his show on Kate then he had planned I hope be brings the misinformed crazy haters into it. I’ve always wanted a reporter to check them out and give an opinion. Its way more for the crazies then just having a opinion. A normal person with a opinion states it and moves on not IN.
Deborah…thanks for the link. (Pre-dinner amusement!) This guy is being SWAMPED w. tween back ‘n forth! Fair warning dear pap…his # will be cooked, as will his pap pass IF he falls for Kate Plus Steve. Undeniably..pitiful!
Its his job to create hype but I don’t think he expected what he’s getting. He closed down a long time ago about it. We can all be sure he will have all the ears and eyes in Gosselin land on him tomorrow and you can bet its a media reporters dream.
I hope someone comments on it here cause I won’t be up that early on the west coast.
I wouldn’t think twice about it but Kate did seem really defensive. I couldn’t tell if she was standing her ground or worried about something the guy could have caught.
I really can’t see Kate misbehaving in public though.
She was the one that came out and called him out on it, I guess I’ve never seen her do that before.
Thanks for all the atwitter info, and links, ladies. Holy Cow! I can’t believe Jon Gosselin would write that about clients! No filter.
Off to read teh kerfuffle between Kate and Phillychitchat. There’s always something going on!
I really think that Mr. Chit Chat is enjoying all the attention that he has gotten today.
I think so too Rosemary. He started baiting early. I think he knows quite a bit about the Gosselin media frenzy so yeah I’m thinking he’s loving it.
After thinking about it he’s not going to use his air time making fun of the haters like I wished. He’s just going to report his opinion on the event. My guess is what people were wearing and who people were with.
Deborah: Maybe someone in or near Philly will watch/listen and report to us. I am not on the West coast, but I am not near PA either. We went on DST today and I am not adjusting well.
Can you imagine the uproar if Kate had said the very same words about the clientele of a company she represented? ~Bloghawg
/
They would never let it be. It’s a good example of their double standard.
/
I’m LOL at the todo between Kate and the guy from Philly. I would be so over the tabloid stuff if I were her. She’s not the first celeb to tell off the media/paps.
Sounds like Philly was jealous of Chis Watts.
Steve has a wife and kids and the hyena’s have been licking their chops all day over the prospect of a compromising position!
How vile & disgusting can you get??
What kind of a person takes pleasure in seeing innocent people hurt like that?
Oh, I know the same kind of people who sabotage every attempt a woman makes to try & support her children independently of the show & who won’t be happy till the kids are ripped from their home & school & leading what they consider the life they should have gotten…just getting by with no extra’s or worse!!!!!
Well said Momsby. The fact that Jon is counting down the hours until his TLC contract ends suggests to me his “regular guy” life was contractually enforced and not what he really wants. I expect to start seeing some interviews with Jon very soon, and probably a book also. This could all start getting ugly again.
Mombsy: It is amazing how some people want to bring others down to their level. I think that Kate has been a better manager of their money than the haters think.
Carol: I hope the rhetoric will not become mean spirited between Jon and Kate. Maybe the court still has a muzzle on that part. I think that TLC can handle themselves. I agree the articles are probably on their way. I am sure they pay better than most mediocre jobs. I want Jon to get a job making big bucks so that he can at least pay 50-75 plus percent of the child support.
JON GOSSELIN LIED??? Tell me it’s not true! Sheesh…….still the same old Jon. I’m very glad to see him smack the haters down on his twitter though. I was disturbed at his comment about his clientele on his twitter. I thought I hope none of those clients read his twitter or know ANYONE that reads his twitter. Not a wise career move, but this is Jon we are talking about. I understand he has every right to get back into media, but it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth the way he bashed Kate about being in the media and proclaimed so many times he wanted a regular life. LIAR!
I believe Kate’s reply to a question re. is she surprised Jon has signed up w. a media co., says it all – ‘knowing what I know, no I am not at all surprised’.
HB….Kate knows him better than anyone.
HB, Kmom Have you guys checked out twitter today or https://imperfectwomen.com/kate-gosselin-attends-red-cross-gala/comment-page-1/#comment-51499.
This day has been priceless and I haven’t seen you guys
Deborah, I have been enjoying your tweets all day long! I could easily have RT them all! #Punked. LMAO. 😉
Oh and Momsby, I have enjoyed your tweets too. Always logical and full of common sense. And polite. Well, our side is typically very polite. The other guys – I honestly didn’t know anyone who talked like that other than longshoremen and truckers. People reveal so much more about themselves and their lack of decency and basic manners than they realize. Oy vey!
LoL Anya thanks, I hope you didn’t see all of them, I got caught up in the moment a couple times.
#80-couldn’t agree more Momsby!
I hope John writes a book which exposes his ex-wife. Sure the kids will read it, but they’re going to anyway when they goggle their “Mommy Dearest.” Anyone who watched the tv show heard and saw that Kate treated her kids and John with utter contempt and has a vile personality if she isn’t getting her way all the time. Today she’s in Vegas enjoying club openings with her ‘bodyguard’ but yet she complained two wks. ago she didn’t have $$$ to take the flock to the movies. But she has $$$$ to fly to Vegas, makes sense??? We all know Kate’s priority is HERSELF!!!! Who also says “Happy Birthday to meeeeeeeeeeeeee!.” She is truly aN unbalanced person and Jon needs to get the kids away from this witch who calls herself a mother giving all mothers a bad name!!!
NO.91: Since you seem to know everything about Kate, what more can Jon say? With all your knowledge, why don’t you write your own expose (imagine the accent over the “e”)?
