Jon Gosselin is using the oldest trick in the book to cover up his ATV-banging ways: Finding religion. He spent Sunday evening with Rabbi Schmuley of Oprah fame and opened up about his transgressions and his new found lease on life. Via People:
On his celebrity status:
“I think I’m just misunderstood. I’m not a fame seeker. Everyday I look in the mirror and I wonder [why I'm famous]. I don’t sing. I don’t dance. I’m not a Nobel Peace Prizewinner. I just had eight kids and I had a show on TLC.”
On his antics in the press:
“Half the stuff I’ve done, if I look at my moral compass, I shouldn’t have done. I know that but I did it anyway. It’s like fame canceled out conviction.”
On mending his relationship with Kate:
“I want to apologize to Kate in private. I’ll apologize to her for openly having relationships in the public eye. That was a huge mistake, because if she would’ve done that to me, I would have been extremely pissed off. Not because our relationship is over, it’s almost like a stab in the back. And now that I think about it, it was a very wrong thing to do. I definitely regret it.”
On Hailey Glassman:
“We decided not to take a break, just slow things down, until I get through my divorce and I know everything is settled and okay. I don’t want another failure in my relationships. I don’t want to make the same mistakes I made with Kate, with Hailey. I would just be repeating the pattern over again.”
So basically this is Jon’s cover for eventually crawling back to TLC and letting them film his kids in exchange for enough money to buy a Lamborghini with his face airbrushed on the door. Or “for the healing,” as it’ll be called in the press release.

More like vaginal journeyman. I can’t stand this douche or his porcupine haired wife. I wish Americans would actually give having children some thought.

What a couchtard

right here, the bigger turd is not goselin (it’s well established that he’s an idiot), but that stupid rabbi who sits down for this hoping to cash in on his turn for 15-seconds of fame.

He didn’t find religion. He just wakes up every morning thanking God he’s not next the Kate Bitch Hog.

When does he apologize to his kids for whoring them out to the media? He skipped that part.
Pernacchia | November 2, 2009 at 3:21 pm
With Schmuley you should plotz!
Oy!
Harold^Sick | November 2, 2009 at 3:22 pm
That brings up a very valid point… why isn’t Jon Gosselin a Nobel Peach Prize winner???
Gosselin for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2010! It starts right here.
Ellen | November 2, 2009 at 4:14 pm
Does anyone hope as much I as do that he is sincere? Please, please, please, mean what you say now, Jon! Prove us all wrong!
Me | November 2, 2009 at 4:14 pm
Who the fuck is Jon Gosselin and why do you keep posting stuff about him?
Delgo | November 2, 2009 at 4:59 pm
Everyday I look in the mirror and I wonder [why he's famous].
Ing | November 2, 2009 at 5:16 pm

LMAO #2… it’s been a while since I’ve been to a Couche-Tard, thanks for the memories.
glen | November 2, 2009 at 6:21 pm
he “HAD” eight kids.
not anymore?
Rosie | November 2, 2009 at 6:52 pm
Tired of him and his soon to be ex. When he walks away from the cameras and focuses on his children and not that child he calls a girlfriend then I will believe the shit that comes from his mouth.

Since when did this dude count as a celebrity. If this is the future state of of a celebrity then I need to get my TV disconnected.

The rabbi’s waiting for the right time to harvest Jon’s and the 8 kids’ organs.

haahhahahahahhahhha so what is this “rabbi” character going to do for him that a shrink couldn’t? Oh I get it. Schmukey is the “Rabbit of the Stars” and assclown wants to keep in Hollywood circles. He aint that stupid is he?

Next comes “Jon and Kate Renew Wedding Vows in Disney Land”, to be followed by “Jon and Kate Retire With Their Millions”. Watch. You’ll see. This is gonna happen. They’ve been making suckers of us all.

You know if Lamborghini made ATV’s he’d be in heaven…
EricLR | November 3, 2009 at 10:28 am
Have you people no foresight? If he goes broke, who’s going to support our nation’s body spray manufacturers, ATV dealers, and gold chain jewelers? Ed Hardy has kids too, you know!
HeyJoe | November 3, 2009 at 6:48 pm
Stupid gook.

“Oh, rabbi. Shoot your load of wisdom on my fish-eyes!
… ….
Oh, I can see clearly now! The brain is gone!”
P.S. Eat schmuck Jon, dried and crispy!
Jon SUCKS | November 5, 2009 at 6:46 pm
This dude is so nasty and ugly, his slanted eyes and fat ass face pisses me off…almost as much as Speidi! To think just yesterday these people didn’t even exist, now they’re rich and famous for being suck ass, low life, piece of shit assholes. FUCK!

When he walks off camera that he and his children and a baby girl so I believe crap that comes from their mouths would have focused on the phone.
