Jon Gosselin is making it very difficult for me to remain loyal to him.
I really don’t see how any woman could, with this latest “affair” story hitting the cover of “In Touch” Magazine.
Although I’m still firmly on Team Jon, my faith in him was tested.
The nanny, Jon?
C’mon.
That’s tacky.
And overdone.
But I guess he had to get it where he could.
And “get” he did, in the form of 23-year-old Stephanie Santoro.
Jon denies they were romantically involved.
Santoro spares no details in the interview.
Here are some excerpts from the article:
It began one night with an innocent phone call where Jon asked her to come over. Santoro says that Jon asked if she could give him a massage, and then he was like, ‘my turn.’ While we were sitting there, he said, ‘Well, I guess we can kiss just once.’”
Santoro says that night, Gosselin told her: “Whatever you do, don’t fall in love with me, because it’s going to be impossible for me not to fall in love with you.” The two then made their way to Jon’s hot tub, where Santoro says she “kept looking at the windows” because she was afraid “one of the kids was going to pop their heads out, but he told me to relax.”
She goes on to call Gosselin “very romantic,” saying after they got out of the hot tub, Jon “ran in to make sure all of the kids were asleep, and we went back into the apartment that is over the garage. We continued what was going on in the hot tub, and then he fell asleep afterward.”
After their first hook-up, Santoro says Jon texted her several times “saying how much he cared about me, and he was being really sincere. He just wanted to make sure that I wasn’t feeling like I was being used. I pretty much spent every night there that entire week. And that’s how our relationship started.”
And the reviews weren’t raves, folks. It seems the women Jon is attracted to like to get their digs in after he’s bedded them down.
In Santoro’s case the nine times they had sex “wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t the best I ever had.”

REPORT: JON HAD STEAMY AFFAIR WITH NANNY

JON STRIKES BACK
By MOLLY DAVIS
Jon & Kate plus hate.
He “despises” her and went straight for her jugular in his new interview.
Brutal.
The reality dad of eight won’t even sit on the sofa with her, and came out swinging during his ABC interview.
He ripped her a new one, and deservedly so – he has been vilified, and unfairly.
Jon told America that he loves Hailey Glassman more than he loved Kate, and went so far as to accuse Kate of swiping his wedding ring.
In the interview, he said, “She separated me from my family. She used to hold the kids over my head and say, ‘Don’t spend time with your mom, spend time with your kids.’ Why can’t I spend time with my mom and kids together?” he said. “Our relationship will never be fixed. I think down the road we might be friends, but at this point in time I don’t think so.”
He went on to say that he went from celebrity to slug overnight.
“It’s just like the change from America’s favorite dad to dirt-bag. Tomorrow I could be maybe… America’s favorite dad again. It could be after this interview. I don’t know. Whatever they want to write, let them write it. They’re going to write it anyway. I’ve learned that lesson,” Jon added.
In a statement to ABC News, Kate responded by saying she believes in drawing a line between public and private. “While I certainly have a very different perception of how our marriage dissolved, for the sake of my children I maintain that I’m not going to go into details of aspects I believe should remain private,” she said.
Translation: Kate is more than happy to talk about her ex’s shortcomings, but not her own.

DIVINE INTERVENTION FOR JON?
By MOLLY DAVIS
I had a conversation with a woman at the grocery store about, who else, Jon and Kate Gosselin.
We were standing in line, and there was a tabloid with their pics splashed on the cover, and she made a comment.
Then I made a comment.
You get the picture.
But what stunned me was this statement:
“You know, karma is a b***h. God made him hit his head.”
She was referring to Gosselin injuring himself with a cabinet last week while at his PA home.
That’s just hilarious.
GOD made him hit his head.
I felt relieved this woman was here to tell me that the big guy upstairs is hovering around Wernersville and actually concerned with the Gosselins drama.
And ensuring that Jon gets some stitches to show that the almighty disapproves of the way the father of eight is behaving.
Makes perfect sense.
All I could do was smile and nod – it’s useless to try to get your point across to someone who is clearly unbalanced.
Any opinion I gave would’ve been wrong, because it wasn’t the same opinion as hers.
What I felt like saying was “Lady, you need to find a new church, if that’s what they’re preaching.”
It’s the thought that counts, right?
She went on to say that he’s “immature and ugly and should forget about his life and spend all his time indoors taking care of his kids.”
Jon is just trying to get by like the rest of us.
Except he’s newly single, has eight kids, a perpetually pissed off ex-wife and the paparazzi shadowing his every move — good or bad.
How sad when someone uses God in order to take potshots at others who are struggling.
I don’t think God had anything to do with Jon’s boo-boo.
Maybe Kate hit him over the head with a frying pan.
Now that, I can believe.

JON & KATE PLUS POLICE
By MOLLY DAVIS
Jon and Kate have added some hate into the mix.
In a not-so-surprising turn of events, the police were called to the Gosselin’s Wernersville residence on Aug. 13.
Kate called the popo after she “showed up at the house unexpectedly. It’s Jon’s scheduled time to be there with the kids,” a source told TMZ.
Sources close to Jon and Kate told TMZ that Kate was upset because Jon wanted to leave the kids with Stephanie Santoro — the babysitter who was hired by Jon.
It appears that Kate has some, um, trust issues with the 23-year-old nanny, and doesn’t want her playing “mommy” with her kids.
So Kate went to the house to be watch the kids instead of Santoro — and that ignited the heated fight that ended with Kate dialing 911.
No arrests were made, and Kate checked in to a local Days Inn for the night — wearing sunglasses.
At night.
Which is where she should have been anyway, since they have an agreement about who stays at the house and when.
This story could have been more “Jerry Spinger-esque” if there was a Red Roof Inn and bodyguard Steve thrown into the mix.
Dare to dream.
This is just another example of Kate thinking the rules apply to everyone else but her.
If she had been locked up, at least she’d look good, because jailhouse orange is her hue, as she was seen looking hot in a bikini of the same color family this summer.
And I’m still on Team Jon.
Kate Gosselin’s second appearance on morning TV solidified Jon as the frontrunner again this week.
On “Live with Regis & Kelly” last week, Kate and her reverse mullet tried once again to make people see her “side.”
And as Regis quickly found out, when Kate wants your opinion, she’ll give it to you.
“I just have a feeling like, I think the separation is going to come to an end, I think he’s going to come back and he’s gonna say ‘Please, marry me again,’ and I think you’re going to live happily ever after,” Philbin said. “What do you think of that?”
Kate looked at him with the same disdain that is reserved for Jon.
“Wow,” she replied with an uncomfortable laugh/combination sneer. “You’re an optimist.”
My definition of optimism?
That this whole debacle will soon be over.
I predict TLC will soon cancel “Jon and Kate Plus 8″ before the year end.
Why?
Ratings are down.
And the police being called to referee a domestic dispute is an embarrassment to a network that prides itself as a “family channel.”
As I write this, TLC execs are probably brainstorming behind closed doors about the show’s fate.
My crystal ball reads “cancelled.”

HEY KATE, STOP WHINING & RAISE YOUR KIDS
By MOLLY DAVIS
Kate minus Jon is making the PR rounds.
The mom of eight opened up to Meredith Vieira on “Today” Monday morning, telling her lopsided side of the story.
“My focus still is the health and well being of my children as well as myself,” said Gosselin in her first public interview since the couple announced the were divorcing.
What really scares me is Kate’s self-righteous streak, which is a mile wide.
I get the feeling that she will keep the show going, just to show America how she’s been “wronged,” or to skewer Jon every chance she gets.
Yes, Kate, we know what a great mother you claim to be despite Jon’s “bad judgment.”
But instead of proving your point, shouldn’t you try to be smart about the situation rather than right?
Wouldn’t that make you the great mom you proclaim to be?
While it was teased as an “emotional interview,” I saw an expressionless Kate trying to convert viewers to her side of the feud.
She lacked emotion, looked bored, and used the time to get in her always-less-than-subtle digs at Jon.
She said that Jon was “no longer the person she knew and married” and that she still wears her wedding ring “for the children.”
I had to rewind the Tivo when she said she was “hesitant to believe the rumors” about Jon’s cheating.
That’s a strange thing to say, and an odd way to say it.
It stands to reason that since she lived under the same roof with your husband, she’d have an inside track to his romantic life.
Turns out Kate was reading the tabloids like every other average Joe for her information.
The only thing I liked about the interview was her hair — it had been tamed a bit in the back – and looked less “cockatooish.”
Small blessings.
Kate also addressed the rumor about her and bodyguard, Steve Nield, saying there was “no affair. There never has been an affair. We are very good friends with him, his wife and his family.”
She said when she’s not around her children, she’s “in hiding from the paparazzi.”
If she really wanted to settle this privately why is she out of town doing PR?
She’s trying to drum up sympathy and is overexposed as it is.
Go back to Wernersville and work on your family.
