'Jon and Kate Plus 8:' Jon Gosselin's former friend has heart attack

Former "Jon and Kate Plus 8" star Jon Gosselin has a personal connection to Michael Lohan, who was hospitalized on Tuesday night after having a reported heart attack. The two were business partners for a while in 2009, with Lohan and Gosselin looking to start up a new reality TV program entitled "Divorced Dads Club."

Not only that, but the two also have the same apparent taste in women. Last July Jon was speculated to be cheating on then-girlfriend Hailey Glassman with Kate Major, a former Star Magazine reporter who supposedly quit her job to be with the reality TV dad. Their "relationship" (whether it was business or otherwise) ended up falling apart, and now Major is in a relationship with Michael.

It was actually Major (who was at one point referred to as "Kate 2.0") who reported the news of Lohan's heart attack to TMZ on Tuesday. The heart attack is being said to only be a minor one, but it comes only a week after the famous father of Lindsay was at the hospital over chest pains.

Do you think Jon Gosselin cares much about Lohan's situation at all now? The two had a harsh ending to their relationship, and Lohan even filed a deposition against Jon in the TLC breach of contract case.

Feel free to share your thoughts on this story below and stay tuned for more "Jon and Kate" news.

    Jon should of never hung out with scum like Michael Lohan. Kate G. made him out to be scum when shes really the scum who couldn't put the show on hold to try and save their marriage...she loves the paparazzi!!! I hope Jon gets on his feet and makes a come back.

    This does not answer the question for this particular blog, but I want to say that I watched The View day, when Kate co-hosted. I was totally put off by her. She seem like a Barbie doll, and very fake and stiff. I personally believe that Kate Gosslin is power-hungry, as she exemplified on her on her original show. She is not interesting at all on shows -- she is a phoney.

    Sorry, I just want to add that I think that the public will soon tire of her, as she does not seem to have anything truly worthwhile to offer, as far as TV or movies go. Her fakeness brings down the others in my opinion. She has this morose forced look and she seems to force out her comments.

    I am sick to death of this woman. She is a nothing more than the rest of us and thinks that the sun rises and sets in her you know what. I, like many were not surprised when her husband left her controlling butt...most men would have left a long time ago. The part that is really scary is that her daughter maddy is just like her...all mothers around the world, watch out who your son brings home as a girlfriend!!! And someone please tell me why she continutes to be on tv.

    This article isn't about Kate!!! It's about her JOBLESS ex JON and his dead beat friend. Jon will never make a come back.

  • Ruth 2 years ago

    Sorry, Kate is so overwhelmingly sickening that it is hard to restrain myself. As for Jon, I think that he is in his own world mostly and swimming along trying to find his direction.

    I don't know why Jon would care about Lohan's problems. They probably have not talked in months and Lohan testified against Jon. And, the Divorced Dads club idea was probably Lohans idea to begin with and he turned things around on Jon.

    Lohan "filed a deposition" against Jon? Ridiculous... You can't "file" a deposition. You can "give" a deposition, but it would only be necessary if there was an actual suit, which there wasn't. Bad reporting... Stupid details.
