‘Kate Plus 8′ is Not Canceled, Jon Gosselin Can’t Even Get Free Gigs?
Posted on October 15, 2009 by Lolita Carrico
TLC’s newly renamed series, Kate Plus Eight will not launch on Nov. 2 as planned, but the show has not been canceled, according to TVGuide.com.
Kate Plus Eight will be delayed because production was suspended after Jon Gosselin requested that the network stop filming his children. He said it was “harmful to them” and that they didn’t want to be on camera.
Gosselin doesn’t seem to mind other TV shows “exploiting” his children, since he worked a deal with Entertainment Tonight to film Mady and Cara’s birthday party!
TLC is waiting for the couple to resolve their differences before resuming production. TLC’s Laurie Goldberg spoke to TV Guide about the situation:
If this works out, we will film the kids again. No matter what, we’re doing a show with Kate.
While TLC works with Kate Gosselin, her soon-to-be ex, Jon Gosselin can’t even get a gig for FREE!
According to msnbc.com, the reality-show dad and so-called chick magnet has approached awards shows, offering to appear as a presenter, and has been turned down by at least two productions! In September, Gosselin was asking for appearance fees in the $30,000 range. Now he’s now offering to present for free, asking only to have travel and accommodations covered–and he’s getting shut down.
It’s called KARMA, Mr. Gosselin. Jon, I think your 15 minutes of fame are almost over!
