In Touch Weekly just sent us this photo (above) of a shirtless Jon Gosselin. They enclosed this story – “Jon Gosselin loses his beer belly”. Now, I seriously don’t doubt that Jon has lost some weight, because he was looking totally tubby for a few years. But is it just me, or is most of the “weight loss” just Jon sucking in his gut for the camera?
When Jon Gosselin took to the beach in Ocean City, N.J., on July 8, he looked like a new man. Donning dark shades and a plaid bathing suit, the dad of eight looked toned, tanned and healthier than ever while strolling the beach with his bikini-clad girlfriend, Ellen Ross. And there was one thing noticeably missing — his beer belly!
“Jon’s made time for himself,” says a friend of the reality star, who adds that Jon’s kids were his main motivation to get in shape. “Jon’s own dad never took care of himself and died at an early age, so Jon is doing whatever he can to ensure he’ll be around for his kids as long as possible.”
After his acrimonious split with Kate last year, Jon’s life took a nosedive. He stopped going to the gym and eating Kate’s healthy, home cooked meals, and plummeted into a wild bachelor lifestyle, which included lots of bar-hopping, heavy drinking and smoking.
He soon left the family’s television show, Jon & Kate Plus 8, and acquired a reputation for constantly partying with a revolving door of young women. But now, Jon’s friend says the tide has finally turned, and the family man is getting his life back on track. Says the pal, “He feels better and looks better than ever.”

Well good for him for getting serious about his health. It makes me a little sick to think of him as some kind of bachelor-about-town with a “wild bachelor lifestyle.” I mean, didn’t he just sort of nail whatever random famewhore broad that said yes (Kate Major, Hailey Glassman), and does that really constitute “a revolving door of young women”? Ugh. Thinking about Jon’s Tootsie roll peen makes me want to vomit.

It looks photoshopped..
Why, why, WHY did I click on this post? MY EYES!!
He does look healthier, hope he quit smoking as well and those are just old stock photos.
Sucked in his gut and probably popping diet pills. I can’t really see him as someone who would do anything that would take work like exercising and dieting.
@lucy2
LOL! I was thinking the same thing.
Does it really matter if this idiot has a gut or not ladies? I think not.
Put it to a vote. Is Jon Gosslin hot without a gut? My vote is NO.
What has been seen, cannot be un-seen.
He may have lost the first layer or two, but he’s sucking it in and been photo-shopped.
And if that’s toned, I’d like to see what they think is slobby.
Logan,
I must say you are being rather harsh, nothin screams SEXY like a puffy faced, muffin topped, hairplugged, jobless, divorced, lush with 8 kids. Dead sexy.
He still has moobs, so I agree that he’s probably just sucking it in for the camera. It should be illegal for this man to remove his shirt in public. Barf.
@TaylorB, didn’t mean to sound harsh.
It’s just I know sexy when I see sexy. I have my own puffy faced, muffin top. No hair plugs, has a job, only fathered 2 kids cause that is all we could support. Doesn’t smoke and best of all he lets the skanks alone. Now that is hot. LOL
Just the first of many many areas on Jon that need improvement.
Looks photoshopped.
sucking it in for sure. there’s 0 tone or muscle on his abdomen.
He looks neither tanned, nor toned. & I want to know who let him into my state?
I grew up in OC, NJ! Get out of my hometown Jon!
@logan – HAHAHA! Really, does it matter if he has a gut or not? We all know his personality and that alone makes him nasty. As if all of a sudden the ladies are going to be dropping at his feet. Plus he’s lazy. I really can’t see him putting any effort in at the gym.
You know what’s sad? They guys at my office who defend Jon’s actions. Like its Kate’s fault he’s a douche. I think he came up with that all on his own.
If by “tanned” they mean “farmer’s tanned by crappy Ed Hardy t-shirts”, then sure, he’s tanned.
It looks like a combination of a great angle (almost directly to the front), sucking it in and photoshop.
Oh yeah, TaylorB, nothing sexier ;).
Does it really matter? I mean, this guy and his ex-wife are Z listers, anyway. Who cares?
I am a graphic designer and that top beach photo is obviously photoshopped
hanh – Are there diet pills that actually work?
I don’t think the photo is airbrushed, why would they even bother? Its a paparazzi shot, not a magazine photo shoot. It isn’t like the tabloid would bother. They don’t have anything to gain- i.e. trying to sell magazines by featuring his diet and exercise routine. This is just a tiny space filler. They don’t have to try and flatter him, he’ll talk to them for the attention and they could sweeten the deal with a can of cheap, room temperature beer or some gum.
To save time and money the tabloids only seem to retouch covers, especially ones involving weight loss, diet and exercise features, and exclusive interviews to keep that celeb happy. Sometimes maybe minor retouching to improve the quality of a photograph or manipulating photos to manufacture proof of their story. For example combining two completely separate photos, the best example that comes to mind is when BP and AJ were rumored to be involved they took a photo of her at some beach and a photo of him at another beach and combined them to make it look like they were together hanging out on the beach when really the photos were taken months apart and the beaches were thousands of miles apart with a tiny disclaimer somewhere in the back of the magazine saying the photo was a composite but you had to be looking for the fine print to even be able to find it.
Everything about these magazines are cheap, easy, and disposable. They probably put just as much effort into the photos as they do the stories… not much. They have to produce cheap magazines every week. They don’t blow money on photo editing for a minor, widely despised celebrity to flatter them and make them look better. I agree he is sucking in though.
Maybe he had some lipo done.
That pic is so photoshopped.
So Hamm and Logan it is safe to say we are all on the same page… Jon is basically the sexiest man alive. He is such a catch, if I had a choice between him and some famous stud like Clooney or Denzel and Jon it would be a struggle to choose, nothin says all night lovin like moobs, a smoke, and a beer gut.
Ok, that was mean, but I am just so sick of the Gosselins that they make me grumpy.
eeeeeeeeuiuuuuuuuuuuu, I knew I shouldn’t have clicked, but I did, and I kept scrolling!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
THE PARENTS OF THOSE UNFORTUNATE 8 CHILDREN ARE BOTH SUPERFICIAL AND PRODUCTS OF INSTANT 15 MINUTES OF FAME WHICH UNFORTUNATELY FOR US IS LASTING WAY TOO LONG.
He’s totally disgusting but part of me still thinks I’d hit it.
Oh InTouch…
At first I thought all the evidence was in his still-bloated face… but then I looked at the WATER NEXT TO HIS STOMACH… completely inconsistent from the rest of the waves in the background. You can actually see the tiny segment that was pasted over and over again next to itself.
Wow. I’d call this an insult to our intelligence… but the sad thing is that people will eat it right up.
He’s sucking it in or photoshop. Radaronline had photos of him a few days ago and he still had a beer belly. Also the revolving door includes a couple of nannies he hired just so he could date them.
THIS IS PHOTOSHOPPED. Looking at the ocean surrounding his stomach area, it’s easy to see where the “clone” tool was used. And about three or four inches under his left (our right) “moob”, the shadow actually looks cut off much too sharply for it to be natural.
Wow, what an awful job. I can’t believe they paid someone for this.
I can never unsee that.
They think he looks healthy? 😆 What a bloated, fat, sunburnt blob.
As a professional retoucher, I can state that his waist is cloned thinner, made almost straight up and down — repetition marks are evident. Done either by a hack retoucher or a beginner.
For example, look at white waves between the right arm and his waist. They just cloned the waves downward, to slim him. Doesn’t even match the actual waves in the background!
“Jon’s made time for himself.”
HAHA! When did Jon NOT make time for his one true love –himself?? I guess when you have no job, you have more time to work out.
Tootsie Roll peen? Who knows what size he is but I wouldn’t believe anything that came out of Hailey’s mouth about what’s been in her mouth.
Even though I think Kate and jon are both pimps for making their children’s lives into a real life Truman Show, I find him to be far less repulsive than Kate. Sure he had a rocky year but he was coming out of a ten year marriage to a b*tch and seemed to be a really good dad from watching their show
From what I can figure from the tabloids, Jon dated/hooked up with about five woman since separating from Kate. I would hardly call that a rotating door. Most guys would have hooked up with a lot more than that after what I am guessing was a pretty sex-free marriage.
He seems to have a good thing going now and I think it will be good for is children to see him in a non-abusive relationship.
Tummy tuck (hee!hee!)
Two for the price of one with the ex.
aw come on… this is so clearly photoshopped!
It’s amazing at what life without a cuntbag shrew of a wife will do for a man.
The guy isn’t perfect, but he loves his kids.
He worked through the issues and bad press, mainly coming from hypocritical douchebags/bagettes (I’d like to take a microscope to some of YOUR lives).
Yeah, it’s ok for Kate to famewhore herself out to “make a living” but Jon’s just supposed to wither away and die because some angry feminists hate men?
Anyway, glad he’s getting his health together. No amount of money can replace that.
Way to go.
Honestly, I didn’t think he was a bad looking guy before he lost his hair and gained a gut.
If he maybe got a plugs and lost 40 pounds, he -might- be good looking again.
