Jon Gosselin’s stupid ploy to delay his divorce in order to save his place on the reality show he wanted to ditch anyway doesn’t sound like it’s going to work. According to Radar Online, Kate isn’t having it and won’t sign off on Jon’s plan to hold off the dissolution of their marriage for 90 days. She probably can’t wait to get rid of the creep, who didn’t even inform her personally that he wanted to work on their family and just filed the paperwork and sent her a letter about it, which she never received. Kate is said to think that Jon is not “being sincere in his comments. She thinks it’s all a publicity stunt.” The rest of us do too.

Radar also quotes a source that says that “Jon is trying to repair his public image,” and that he’ll appear on Larry King Live. Good luck with that, Jon. He came across as a whiny bitch on Good Morning America and said he “despised” Kate and loved “soulmate” Hailey Glassman more than the wife of his kids. Meanwhile he was carrying on with a bunch of other random women, two of whom spoke to the press about his smooth moves and false promises. There’s no way to backtrack from all that. Jon’s wife may be a demanding bitch but at least she barely talks smack about him to the press.

As part of his stupid “image repair” plan, Jon’s PR person is denying that he’s been dropped from the show, and told US “He was not fired.” They also report that Jon will still be on the show, just not as much. We already know for sure that they’re renaming it “Kate Plus 8.” How is Jon not getting fired then? The guy is scared because he’s wondering how he’s going to go on vacation and buy designer XL clothes when he’s not getting paid. He’s gunning for his own reality show so he can continue on in the douchetastic lifestyle he’s accustomed to. If he had something lined up already, he wouldn’t have launched this weak campaign to improve his image. Oh – and Jon attended a charity event for autistic kids over the weekend. Good for him, but I doubt he would have done it without informing the press.
