Jon Gosselin and Ellen Ross

Gossip is saying that they met through a friend of theirs and was attracted to instantly. But they want to take things slowly, hes very into her and finds it much easier to date someone also from Pennsylvania not far from his kids. Hes hoping that this one works out!

The fairy tale could only last so long and the reason for the split according to an In Touch Weekly article was Johns couch potato attitute.

It was five months of pure laziness… She couldn’t take it anymore. He was lying around all day long, not contributing to anything and not working. He doesn’t even have any friends.

I know that would drive me crazy. But its sad in a way, he has gone through a long divorce (which has only recently finalized), gone from the biggest hit in reality TV to the gutter, hassled by a seemingly never ending queue of legal troubles and all of this while Kate’s star seems to only be shining brighter. For awhile he was known as a bit of a playboy, but this no longer seems to be the case as each woman is worse off then the last.

One has to wonder what ever happened to Jon Gosselin’s plans to get in shape. I remember for a large part of the the TLC series he even had a personal trainer that he visited a couple times a week, but i guess since his money has run out, its not highest on his priority list. He has even begun smoking which is something that during the shows heyday would have been unthinkable! The partying in all over the place sure doesnt help either. Its hard to get up the initiative to go to the gym when you have been up drinking all night long.

I really do hope that they can bring it all together, even tho any kind of romantic reconciliation is out the window for sure. But maybe at some point in the future they can at least have a semblance of normalcy in their lives.

Apparently Jon Gosselin has checked his ego at the door and says he will vote for his wife Kate on Dancing with the Stars. Hes let everyone know on his twitter account on March 4th. Its nice to see that there can be at least a little bit of non-hate between them despite all that has happened in the past. He also posted today that he is looking forward to a “New Beginning” in 2010. Did nobody tell him he is about 3 and a half months too late?

It appears that Jon Gosselin is finally going to be throwing in the towel in his still continuing lawsuit against TLC. Last fall, Jon slapped TLC with a cease-and-desist order to halt production on “Jon and Kate Plus 8″ with the states reason of preventing any further explotation of his children. However without the constnat source of income that the show had been providing, Jon is now reconsidering.

Kate was also part of the decicion saying that she is “willing to negotiate wth him and TLC so that everyone gets what they want”. However the intense lawyer feeds over the duration of the lawsuit has made him reconsider. Sources say that Jon is willing to let his kids back on the show if TLC will drop their own breach of contract suit agsint him for making paid appearances on other netwokrs. That suit is not only costing him alot of money but it has also barred him from getting any other additional source of income on the talk show circut. Kate has not had the same problem and has always been on good terms with the network. She has appeared on the daily talk show “The View”, finishing off her new book and has the possibilty of staring in her own spin of show.

While they may be talking about professional reconciliation, they both see no future together for themselves as a couple.
