Jon Gosselin doesn’t have much sense at all. He no longer seems to be hanging out with Michael Lohan at least, but in a misguided attempt to have some protection from bad press and rabid fans – or maybe just to screen out the ones who aren’t 20 something and female – he hired a paparazzo he befriended to serve as his bodyguard. He also hangs out with the paparazzi who hang around his house and regularly confides in them, which seems pretty stupid considering that his rumored main source of income outside of the reality show involves selling stories to tabloids. If his super trustworthy paparazzi buddies know all the details of his divorce, surely they’ll keep it quiet for him and won’t try to cash in by selling his secrets.
Gosselin is aligning himself with a crew reminiscent of the folks Britney Spears was running with just before her breakdown, insiders tell FOX411. A source close to Gosselin says the “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ star is putting his trust in people who are just using him for fame and cash.
“Jon decided he needed to have a security team this summer after seeing Kate’s security team, led by Steve Nield. He wanted to go all out and make it seem professional, so he hired one of the paparazzi/photographers he became friends with to become his head of security,” the pal tells FOX411. “He met the guy and instantly trusted him with his safety.”
And it sounds like his new security detail is just the tip of Gosselin’s parasite iceberg.
“He continues to befriend almost anyone who shows him support and respect since the divorce debacle,” says the insider. Gosselin’s best friends now include the paparazzi who surround his home and follow him wherever he goes, adds the source, saying Gosselin often stops and talks to them, makes fun of his soon-to-be-ex-wife Kate, and even offers to go on camera.
“Jon is all too willing to put himself out there for people to dissect,” says the pal. “He thinks he is defending himself against Kate’s perfect image and comments, but he doesn’t see that the public dislikes him even more after he speaks out. His PR team will not tell him, and they are not teaching him any better.”
Plus, when he’s back home, in Wernersville, PA, he gets even more slaps on the back.
“No one will tell Jon that he’s making bad choices,” says our snitch. “When he goes home to see the kids, the men like him, and Jon sees himself as a local hero among the guys. If someone is nice to him once, he’ll be friends with them. When you make a lot of money and are in the public spotlight, people are out to use you, and Jon is a big target.”
[From Fox 411]
Jon has been hitting events and clubs, and MSNBC’s The Scoop has more on the stupidity that follows Jon like a stinky cloud wherever he goes. He attended a VMA party over the weekend and was heard loudly bragging about how he’s friends with Diddy, saying “I hate when celebrities make a big deal of themselves. When I talk to Diddy, I’m just like ‘Hey Sean, no big deal.’”
Jon staged some kissy-face photos with his on-again girlfriend, Hailey Glassman, late last week, who he famously called his “soulmate” in a recent interview. He still worked his magic with the ladies at an event, and Fox News reports that he was seen “flirting outrageously with a young lady” at “Starbucks’s House of Hype at The Riv.” It won’t be long before another sad wild-eyed woman tells the press all about how Jon duped her in loving him and then unceremoniously dumped her.

Seriously-I am embarassed to be in a country that would A. sell this man Gucci shoes and B. allow this man in any “celebrity” event. Him and all his ladies need to go far far away and take the Lohans, Kardashians, Montags, and every other reality “star” with them. Please?

I saw the shoes too! I now must burn my fav. Gucci mules.
At least I had nothing Ed Hardy in my closet to torch. If I see him wearing Gucci sunglasses I may have to Polamalu his ass.

I am not a human MD, but I gotta say as a casual observer, it looks like he has some serious ‘booze face’ going on. Very puffy and bloated and what looks a bit like periorbital edema.

His forehead is like 10 shades darker than the rest of his face, wtf. Someone went overboard with the foundation.

I am not one for advocating violence, but this man makes me want to BEAT his ugly, smug loser face in! He is so disgusting and it is totally absurd to me that he even needs a bodyguard, other than maybe from me, since I want to beat his mug to a pulp!

His face looks like a bloated tangerine-Kate must be laughing her ass off while Jon continues to act like a 14 year old. I think Jon is wearing Hailey’s makeup now-he is so friggin whipped!

He’s melllllllltttttiiiiiiing. Surely in this economy there are PR people hungry enough for work to take over the public image of this idiot. 1. Have him admit to and apologize for everything. 2. Get a home close to the kids and not in NY. 3. Get cars big enough to drive with the kids. 4. Stop taking the little blue pills. 5. Bathe at least one time a week. Sigh.
