Jon Gosselin, Despite Being Married, Got Engaged Last Weekend!
Jon Gosselin of television’s “Jon & Kate Plus 8”, a show about his life with his wife and 8 children, proposed to his girlfriend of two months—and daughter of the plastic surgeon who did Kate Gosselin’s tummy-tuck—this weekend while on vacation in France. There are so many things wrong with that concept that it is difficult to even wrap your mind around it.
Jon was, evidently, invited to France to meet with tacky t-shirt designer Christian Audigier about designing a line of children’s clothes. His 8 children would be pimped out to model the new line. Only someone like Christian Audigier would approach Gosselin for this project, after allegations of Gosselin cheating were all but confirmed by photos on TMZ and Kate filing for divorce. I guess any publicity is good publicity for some folks. Considering that many of Audigier’s designs feature knives piercing hearts, this is a match made in heaven.
While Jon was living the high life in St. Tropez in a $2,000/night hotel room, he presented 22 year-old Hailey Glassman with an $180,000 engagement ring. The design is a very tasteful skull surrounded by four black diamonds, because nothin’ says lovin’ like a big ol’ cranium on your ring finger. Perhaps it was the influence of Audigier. Perhaps it was just the trademark bad taste of Gosselin, who thinks it perfectly reasonable to get engaged before he is divorced.
Of course, this is also the man who procreated with a woman who has the most inexplicable hair style ever to come out of SuperCuts. Whether Kate’s trademark reverse mullet was an aphrodisiac is in question. What is not in question is that Jon really didn’t want 8 kids, but figured a reality TV show about it would bring in a whole lotta cash, making the scenario a lot more bearable.
Jon’s new fiancé is also, apparently, driven by the dinero. Or should we say l’argent? After failing to be cast in MTV’s “Real World” or on Oxygen’s “Bad Girls’ Club”, young Hailey set her sights on someone who had already cashed in on the reality television cow. Jon, having already seen enough of his middle-aged wife and their litter, was ready for some fresh meat. Enter Hailey.
And two months later, they are engaged. A source says that “They started dating two months ago and they both just knew the other was The One instantly.” We knew it was for real because young Hailey changed her Facebook status to “In A Relationship”. Wow.
Well, he is The One with money and fame (although both were dubiously earned).
She is The One with a naturally flat stomach and no kids.
Good luck, y’all.
