Jon Gosselin has chosen a mate among the two 20-something brunettes he’s been dating on the side. It looks like Hailey Glassman, 22, has his temporary interest. Hailey is the daughter of Jon’s estranged wife Kate’s plastic surgeon. Hailey and Jon are currently in the South of France, where they were seen on designer Christian Audigier’s boat. Audigier is responsible for the Ed Hardy fashion line, and Jon has been spotted out in little else lately. To show his appreciation to Gosselin for promoting the line as the clothing of choice for deadbeat dads trying to relive their 20s, Audigier has offered him a job designing children’s clothing. That makes sense, since Jon spends so much time with his children now. Kate has got to be pissed off, especially since her own plans for a clothing line were scrapped.
The newly single 32-year-old Jon & Kate Plus 8 star may be in St.-Tropez with his 23-year-old gal-pal, Hailey Glassman, but that doesn’t mean the trip is all fun and games.
Well, maybe it does.
The happy, hand-holding couple was spotted Saturday spending time aboard Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier’s yacht and, while much has been speculated about the reality patriarch working for the Frenchman, only E! News knows exactly what they’ve been discussing…
Apparently, owning an abundance of Ed Hardy shirts is qualification enough for a seriously sweet gig.
“We would like to do a line of children’s clothing,” Audigier told E! News exclusively on Sunday.
The father of eight and his GF are spending the evenings in a hotel and their days on the water aboard the ship. But the party ends in just two days.
“They’re having fun. I’m taking care of them,” the designer boasts.
Apparently, Kate Gosselin stayed home in Reading, Pa., running more errands and—gasp!—wearing her wedding rings.
[From E! Online]
Yes, Kate is still wearing her wedding ring and isn’t quite ready to give up the ghost on her marriage. She is said to be “furious” that Jon is in St. Tropez with Hailey and that they’re getting photographed. At least he’s no longer with the young teacher that her kids were getting attached to.
Meanwhile Radar Online reports that Jon arranged for Hailey, a burgeoning shoe designer, to get a meeting with the Ed Hardy staff to pitch her ideas. It’s doubtful this woman even studied fashion in college. Maybe Jon wants to make sure whichever woman he’s with does all the heavy financial lifting in the relationship. He dropped out of college and doesn’t have the best employment record. One of his old bosses even said he got canned for spending all his time at work on the Internet and phone looking for freebies. Given Jon’s penchant for bossy in-command women, I bet Hailey will be soon taking over and getting on his nerves in no time as he sits back, pops a cool one, and relies on her to take care of the household.

wtf? why? are you kidding me? who the fuck is t his guy to be given the chance to design clothes? i don’t get it… i’ve been avoiding gosselin news but this just pisses me off. the guy is a deadbeat, he’s got 8 kids he should be worried about and to top it all off, he’s ugly… why is ANYONE interested in dating him? and now he’s getting a job? audigier is just ASking FOR NEGATIVE BACKLASH…
This is inexplicably odd. However, my coal black heart is on board with Jon doing anything that pisses Kate off.
For someone who supposedly hates being photographed and chased by the paps,he doesn’t do a good job of laying low,does he?
It makes him look guilty off all the things he denied doing.
what a fat ugly f**k… agh
The pictures of those two smoking together this weekend were REDICULOUS. I hope his children make fun of him for the rest of his life.
I like her jeans though.
i just saw a whole bunch of facebook pictures of her. what a trashy trash thing she is. what the hell are these poser hicks from bumblefuck pennsylvania doing in the south of france with christian audigier? they look so far out of their league its not even funny. im sure the french fashion world is really ready to welcome a haggard 22 year old with no discernible talent other than screwing her parent’s patients. oh man, talk about slumming it, Audigier. the man should be embarrassed-this tarnishes his already gross brand even further.
Yeah for him not wanting the attention he sure is cheesing up the camera.
And Kate has been seen wearing a lot of hats lately, maybe she is growing her hair out.
photo jojo – have to agree with you – Karma is kicking Kate in the ass right now and IMO, it’s so well deserved.
a) she looks older than 22
b) what normal, well adjusted 22 year old would want to date an overweight father of 8?!?!
c) christian audigier is trashy and tacky. Using jon as a spokesmodel really emphasizes the demographic he’s going for. LOL
this story is gross, jon is gross, hailey might be the grossest
What a loser! I can’t believe this guy. That women is just as sad for being with him. He abandoned his family and wouldn’t be anywhere without Kate. If she hadn’t okay’d the series how do you think those kids would get support. Not from their deadbeat father. Call her bitchy if you want, I think she just had to take charge cause John is such a loser. He never took any initiative and as soon as the bank really started coming in, what does he do, trade in his wife and kids for a bachelor pad in new york and another women. Sheesh! Ship this guy off to a deserted island and be done with him. Kate sweetie, your much better off.
Ugh, he just broke my Douchebag Monitor. Off. The. Charts.
Don’t worry, fizXgirl314. I’m sure John’s “clothing line” will go the same route as Sarah Larson’s “exclusive modeling contract” with this designer… nowhere.
It’s just a publicity thing for Audigier. He did the same thing with Clooney’s jump off.
And there’s no way this Hailey woman is only 22? She looks like she could be in her late 30’s in some pictures. Whoa.
But I’m all for John dating again. Kate treated him like sh*t. Wait, she actually probably treated sh*t better than she did Jon.
Jesus, could that t-shirt he’s wearing in the header pic be any uglier? Especially with his extra “insulation” filling it out. Talk about the ideal poster child for a midlife crisis.
Jon is hardly a deadbeat dad. A deadbeat dad is one who does not provide for his children. I see no evidence of that here. You should not make up such boldfaced lies about people as it erodes the small hold you have on credibility. Why should he not go to France if there’s a chance for a lucrative contract? It’s Kate’s turn with the kids. He is entitled to start a new life. These comments seem jealous…in fact the first comment is just reeking with it.
This whole thing is embarrassing. This dude, with his 22 year old (okay, if she says so) trick, suckin’ on ciggies, looking all attitudinal, situation cozy I’m-A-Celebrity demeanor….shouldn’t he be helping to change some diapers or punching a clock somewhere to support those kids?
What the fuck is this shit?
Good for him! He can do whatever he wants when it’s not his time to be with the kids. Deadbeat? He’s working on a Tshirt deal with the potential of making a lot of money. And, really, is saying a 22 year old woman looks like a thirty something woman the best jab you can take at Hailey? That’s not even an insult anymore.
This truly makes me sick. Yea, go ahead and try to relive your glory days when you weren’t saddled with your own children and the woman you married.
This dude is way too old to be wearing Ed Hardy t-shirts and “hanging out” on a yacht in France. He just looks like an old desperate loser who wants to seem young and cool.
It’s not working, dude. It really is not working.
Edit: I’m 23. If someone said I looked like a thirty something, I’d seriously reevaluate the way I was living my life.
This trend of middle aged men dressing like wannabe hip hop punkers from Hollywood is sickening. Jon looks like a a cannoli. I mean, this jag is famous for watching his wife spit out 8 kids….wtf?
Please go away, Jon Gosselin.
I like how everyone faults Kate for being such a cold and off-hands mom, but you don’t see her posing with her new flings or trying to get them famous… she actually cares about her kids, and Jon cares about himself and having a good time. Period.
how come i never see pictures of kate whooping it up in st. tropez? i am all for parents getting away from the kids, but why is she the one stuck at home? as for him, he looks pathetic with his “groovy” t-shirt, his pierced ears, etc. when i was 22 if a 32 year old, married, father of 8 douchebag had tried to get with me or my friends we would have told him to piss off. because we weren’t money-grubbing bimbos. the only reason this hailey chick is with him: publicity.
If Jon’s a deadbeat father for trying to score a deal to make money – then Kate is a deadbeat mother for going on tour to promote her book for weeks on end leaving her children alone – wait, they weren’t alone – they were with their father! And remember – Kate put herself first when the kid’s turned five – it was more important for her to celebrate Mother’s Day at a spa…and what about the time off Kate took for her new boobs?
If Kate really cared about her kids so much – she’d be cancelling the show and eating picnic lunches in the backyard where the mean, vile “p-people” couldn’t take pictures of them and continue the explotation.
Nothing screams “midlife crisis” like a fat, balding, 30 year-old man in an Ed Hardy t-shirt.
So not fooling anyone, dude.
But like photojojo mentioned earlier, I get a sick satisfaction watching this d-bag on the fast-track to failure, if only to further infuriate Kate.
I’ve never thought of either of them to be decent, loving, responsible parents – so this downward spiral appeals to my inner sadist.
kate does her midlife crisis behind closed doors with the tanning booth, multiple plastic surgeries, salon and spa visits, and shopping. he just looks douchier because of his particular brand of midlife crisis: trashy younger chicks, earrings and pathetic attempts at hobnobbing.
I have no respect for this man. I first thought Kate was the a**wipe but here I have proof of who wins that prize. He’s a joke.
Jon Gosselin is disgusting. He strikes me as a whiny, self-pitying loser. Plus he’s fat and has terrible taste in clothing. Why would ANYONE date him? And this girl…ew. As a 20-something, I would also like to vouch for the fact that I would be majorly offended if someone thought I was in my late-30s. This girl looks beat and trashy. I at 22, I would also never have dated a 30-something man with 8 kids, a middle-aged gut, and an Ed Hardy t-shirt. Actually, I wouldn’t do that now either. Ick, to both of them.
i just don’t get why kate is getting all the backlash from this divorce and this fat ugly f**k is getting a supposed 22 year old and a designing deal… something just ain’t right with the world :/
Hailey better not get too comfy. If he hits it big with this deal (a longshot), she is outta there. He will have so many floozies on his junk, and you know he ain’t turning any of them down.
1. At least he’s not making money by exploiting his kids, which is all the show has been for five years.
2. Kate has no basis to be pissed off about anything having to do with Jon. She treated him like absolute dirt during their marriage. Would you stay around for that? I know I wouldn’t. They’re separated and have filed for divorce. What he does now is none of her business.
3. She’s still wearing that wedding ring as part of her “be the victim” act. She doesn’t want him back, I’m sure she’s not even sad about it. I mean, he was apparently such a loser she had to tell him how to breathe and walk and talk. He was good for baby batter, apparently, then she was done with him.
4. That being said, I’m not saying Jon’s some amazing winner or anything. He is what he is, too. He’s no prize.
But I’m back to thinking where does she have any basis for griping about what he does now?
The Original Kate: oh believe me, Kate is NOT “stuck at home” with the kids. She has a small army of “helpers who are not nannies” as she calls them, LOL. Even someone to cook for them. She goes out of town to promote her book, do her little appearances, etc. She’s not tied to that huge million dollar house and those eight kids, she does just what she wants to do.
The thing is that they are both pretty much immature a**holes. But we saw her treating him like dirt for so long, she comes off worse, generally. I never saw him treat her the same way she did him. Now, yeah, he’s having an early midlife douchy crisis. And so is she. They both suck.
But she’s not stuck at home with the kids, LOL, far from it.
Brittney: Kate’s “new fling” was her bodyguard, but he was MARRIED and has subsequently gone back to his wife. Kate doesn’t have a fling now, her married one left her.
That’s why you don’t see her out and about with a guy. Plus she’s savvy enough to realize she needs to work this victim status she’s got going on: leaving the wedding ring on, hanging out in the front of their house so paps can photograph her with the kids, acting sad and outraged over her soon to be ex husband moving on, etc. SHe knows what she’s doing, honey!
he’s not exploiting his kids? too bad his kids will be the ones modeling his clothing line. http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/31895720/ns/today_entertainment/
if kate’s bad for exploiting her children on the show, jon is worse. the show goes away and who gets right back to exploiting the children? oh right, he does. he seems to be the one obsessed with the gravy train.
I really think that all the anti-Kate, pro-Jon publicity has gone to his head. He honestly thinks he can do whatever he wants at this point and everyone will love him for it. He is beyond gross and so is that trash he’s smokin’ cigs with. Does he really think he’s cool, with the diamond stud and the Ed Hardy shirt? VOMIT.
I see a VH1 dating reality show in this P.O.S.’s future.
I don’t know PA law, but in a lot of states, any income either of them makes right up until the day the divorce is final is joint marital property, and the assumption is 50/50 split. To get anything much further from the center than a 60/40 split is next to impossible. My lawyer had one case with a 90/10 split because one spouse was able to blackmail the other spouse with incriminating e-mails on his company e-mail account.
Otherwise, it is pretty hard to get away from the law’s presumption of 50/50. So anything Jonny boy makes may well be half Kate’s! But I have to admit his scheme is better than her scheme (Cara and Mady have a “twin” career like the Olsen twins) because his at least pays *him* instead of the kids.
Riiight, because everybody wants their kids to look like trashy, tattooed bikers. Great idea …. :8\:
“But I have to admit his scheme is better than her scheme (Cara and Mady have a “twin” career like the Olsen twins) because his at least pays *him* instead of the kids”
Texasmom. Well said.
I never seen so much hate foer someone you lady’s don’t know. I can tell most of you( flexgirl314,lisa, kristen, jaudicemach, codizilla)have men issue’s of your own thats swaying your emotions towards jon. Damn, so basically all you ladys want the man to go back to hell. O.K how about all of you ladys go back to whatever man beat the shit out of you, that told you, you were nothing. PLEASE GO BACK TO THAT THEN TELL JON IS IT WORTH IT.
As long as he take care of his kids when its his time. you can’t say a thing wrong. Plus ed hardy is making a smart move. This dude was around them kids 24/7 at one time and dress them. Stop being mad you don’t have the chance to do it. ALL YOU BITCHES NEED A HOBBIE. GET OFF THE MAN’S DICK
stop male bashing, cause older women like young dudes too. Difference is guys are not natural hater’s. however not all women are alike. big up to the good one’s. keep looking jon you only get 3 good ones in your life time.
At first I thought the same about Kate being overly cruel to Jon but with everything he is doing now….I do not pity him even a little. You never know what goes on behind closed doors, he could have been just as bad as her. I know I seen him be cruel a few times also on camera. He is using his kids to become famous also and the house they bought is no million dollar home, now his apartment is over a million dollars so who wants the high life?? He does without taking care of his family. The children are the ones who are getting hurt. I don’t like Kate a whole lot she was a mean person but how would you be taking care of 6 babies the same age plus twins and your husband is no where to be found…wake up people!!! he had a job where he went while she took care of the kids while he was out so call working and enjoying his life while the mother was home taking care of the kids and the home. I cannot believe you people are saying, oh she was out working for 1 year and you cry oh she does not care for her kids because her so call slime ball of a husband stayed home taking care of much older kids that are easier to take care of now, she done the hard years…at least Kate is making money on her own by the selling books…not depending on the show to make money. Come on she gave up her job has a nurse to stay home with the kids too, so to me they are neck and neck on what kind of people they are. I think the money from the show should not be given to Jon or Kate….the courts should start putting most of the money in trust for the kids…If Jon wants a break from the family, he needs to make his own money and not get anything from his kids. I don’t think he should get 50 % or Kate of the money make by exploiting the kids. Sure split up the money per episode and whatever the kids make put in trust that neither parent can touch and then split the money the parents made and then Jon needs to stop being a deadbeat dad and pay child support for all his kids….and you girls that are grossly dating him, get a clue when all is over and done with the divorce this guy is going to owe one hell of a child support payments and I don’t care how much he makes do you really want to inherit a situation like this. Step mom of 8 kids, yes they are only kids but when you marry somebody with kids from another marriage….the courts add in the money from the new income (YOURS)and then they give a higher payment so you will be supporting the children too!! A friend of mine got hit with the same situation and she is paying so much for the child support also and when you marry someone you take on their bills too…
I usually don’t comment on crap like this but I am so disappointed that you are condemning people you don’t even know…just judging them by the articles written in stupid papers that lie 99% of the time just to sell their papers. You don’t know them personally and you have no right to judge them or anybody else…I hope in the future you will be judge accordingly the same as you have done with out knowing you. I try to stay impartial but that is what is wrong with this world…you judge without knowing the person, so lets hope you are rewarded the same way…seeing you enjoy making accusations when you don’t have a right to even comment on their lives. Why don’t people just stop rewarding these reality shows by not watching and give them the message that we have better things to do with our lives then watch a show about raising kids or god forbid the bachelor…come on living a real life is much better than watching these shows, get out and get a life… So that the tv producers will stop making money on other peoples pain. All they want is our money and guess what a lot of people make them richer everyday….I stopped watching these reality shows, I got smarter and I am enjoying my life better. I would rather give money and time to a more worthy cause…I know people will think I am wrong and will probably get responses not so nice but at least I gave my views and I know what kind of person I am….I would never intentionally hurt anyone and if I don’t like a person I still treat them with respect just the way I would want people to treat me and to me, that makes me sleep a lot better at nights.
