Last Saturday, we saw photos of Jon Gosselin posing with a blonde woman outside what was reported to have been a dinner date in New York. She was identified as Star Magazine reporter Kate Major. Many of you pointed out that there were four other people out at dinner and that it was possibly a “business-type” meeting. That could have been the case, but this new Kate was said to have been sitting next to Jon all night and flirting with him.
Star Magazine has confirmation straight from their blabby journalist that she’s dating Jon Gosselin. What’s more is that she went on another date with him, in the Hamptons, with none other than Michael Lohan, Real Housewives of NY star Jill Zarin, and the mayor of Southhampton.
It’s a stunning turn of events that even Star couldn’t see coming, father-of-eight Jon Gosselin and one of our reporters have fallen for each other.
Kate Major confirmed tonight that she and the Jon & Kate Plus 8 dad are an item, five days after they were first photographed together.
“I didn’t mean it to happen, it just did,” Kate, 26, says. “I went to do a story on Jon and ended up falling for him.”
The surprise news means that Jon, 32, and his girlfriend Hailey Glassman, daughter of his wife’s plastic surgeon, are over.
Tonight Jon and his new Kate went for dinner in East Hampton with Lindsay Lohan’s father Michael — a long-time friend of Kate’s.

I knew it! Gosselin isn’t the type to just settle down with the second barely-dropped-out-of-college girl he hooks up with. He posed for some PDA photos with Hailey Glassman on Sunday after his date with another woman, and then went out to dinner with that other one again on Tuesday. While most freshly separated fathers of eight could be able to get away with dating multiple women (if they could find enough women willing to have them), Gosselin is too obvious and slow a target and he’s going to get called out on his behavior. Is poor passive aggressive Jon just the victim of an opportunistic Star reporter hoping to social climb among the C-list? I doubt it. Even if she’s throwing herself at him he doesn’t need to go out with her. Even if he’s just hanging out with her for the amazing chance to meet Lindsay Lohan’s ex-con born-again dad, he has only himself to blame. He can’t expect to get on the cover of People Magazine with one girlfriend and then be seen out twice in a few days with another woman. Oh well, it’s not like Hailey hasn’t cheated on her girlfriends and boyfriends in the past. Maybe she’ll learn to accept the situation for what it is. There will always be other women who are in it for the notoriety like she is, and this isn’t the first time Jon will be stupid enough to fall for it.

The “new Kate” needs to take an hour or two away from this amazing new relationship and get her roots touched up.
My, isn’t he rico suave!
{shakes head in repulsed amazement}
EIGHT kids have the privilege of calling him dad.
I wonder if star reporters are any more honest than their reporting?
I think I am officially done commenting on Jon. He needs to go take care of his children.
Star magazine has reached a new low. Or maybe Jon has.
So when is his 15 minutes over?
This girl is a much better role model than Hailey, unless the tabloids dig up some shady past. Let’s wait and see…
Tubby bastard.
For a man who b*tches about media attention, he’s certainly whoring himself out enough.
Does anyone else think this is all a publicity stunt?
Jones — I agree 100%. This all strikes me as a heck of a lot of happenings to drive up the ratings for the Aug. 3 return of the show. I think TLC is orchestrating this to create more drama. Jon may not be the brightest bulb on the tree, but I really have a hard time believing he is this friggin’ stupid.
Oh Jon – Just go away!!
You shameless pig. Think about your 8 children and how they must feel about you skanking around.
Go home, get a job and get your act together.
He’s not stupid enough to fall for anything. He’s just a horndog released from his cage.
I can see this as a stunt on her behalf to drum up sales and interet in the mag.
I mean what woman would report to everyone after one or two meetings and say she feel for him– it sounds so FAAAKKKEEE and insincere… very unrealistic.
He had dinner with Michael lohan????? Gross! I just lost all respect. I used to be team jon and now I don’t know what to think. The star reporter could be totally psyco too.
Spitney Spears, Britney’s evil twin.
how is a doughy, boring, spineless father of 8 from nowheresville getting so much play? i call publicity on this, too.
It’s the fauxtanned forehead. Sexual dyanamite.
