Jon Gosselin wants a 9 to 5 job


Jon really wants to work

Jon Gosselin made an interesting admission to Us Weekly magazine yesterday -- that he would rather be working at a regular job than what he's doing now. Jon told a reporter:

I wish I had a 9 to 5 job instead of the nightmare I'm living. This is 24/7. I don't even want to do taping for the show anymore.

Well, Jon, if rumors are true you might soon get your wish when you're fired by TLC. If you'll recall, Jon previously held a "9 to 5" position at Style Craft, a cabinet manufacturer, but that didn't exactly work out. Along with his partying and frequent trips, he also doesn't appear to be a man ready to get back to the grind stone. But we'll take Jon at his word when he says he will avoid looking for a real job and trudge on with the "nightmare" that is his life filming the show and making paid appearances. Why? Because he has to make bank:

"I have two houses and eight children to take care of and I need to work," [Jon] told Us.

Of course in the Gosselin world "take care of" means providing a million plus dollar estate, travel, and luxury items, so I guess this is the only kind of "work" that will provide all of that.

    Jon is full of it! He sure doesn't act like a man who is tired of the limelight! He is a party boy who invites the papparazi along.

  • Francie 2 years ago

    I agree 100%! I love the show, but wish Jon would quit and let Kate do the show with the kids. The episodes without Jon are much better!

  • Maxine 2 years ago

    Looks to me like Jon is trying to get TLC to fire him. When one thing doesn't work, he tries another.

    Another thing, last I heard Jon was looking into a reality show on MTV that involves divorced dads.

    The only thing Jon wants out of is anything to do with his family.

    Actually, the real Jon is dead. He died in a boating accident in Hawaii in late September, 2007. This is a replacement Jon. The real Jon smoked his cigarettes left handed...new Jon smokes right handed. Real Jon wore polo shirts. Fake Jon ...Ed Hardy. Fake Jon was photographed barefoot at Martha's Vineyard. If you play the cupcake-gate video backwards, you 'll hear "Jon is dead". It's all there if you'll only open your eyes.

    Turn me on, Dead Kate!

    Oh come on! Who is actually going to believe that this isn't the real Jon? What cupcake video? Let's see a link so the rest us can watch it.

    Personally I think Jon is miserable because he doesn't know what he truly wants out of life.

  • Paul McCartney's Manicurist 2 years ago

    Oh Frank. I bet you are sorry that there isn't a delete feature here. Over your head Bud. Way over.

    Public Service Announcement: Jon and Kate fans are not 'worldly'. Please do not use literary devices such as allusion. Comedy/Sarcasm/Tongue in cheek will go unappreciated. They will not get it unless you offer free beer or double coupon days. Ok? Ok.

    PM - TOO FUNNY!! Thanks for the laughs. Please write more because you are a joy to read. Love your wit and humor;)

    PM: Post the link so I can see it. Prove it.

  • Brynn 2 years ago

    Hey Paul McCartney's Dentist I am curious, where did you hear that the real Jon had passed on? What kind of accident?

  • PM's Prime Mover and Shaker 2 years ago

    Turn me on, Dead Jon!
    The real Jon has a blister on his lip and Yoko has half Asian children. Do I need to say more?

    Oh, yeah, it's so obvious that this isn't the same Jon. Kate said it herself, that Jon is not the same man she married. He's different and wants different things. Hello! It's because it IS a different man. The new Jon's real name is William Hung aka Bungalow Bill Hung Lo. He starred in several low budget soft porn flicks and was spotted by TLC and groomed for the eventual 'takeover' of Jon Gosselin, who was a flight risk. His girlfriend's father was conveniently a plastic surgeon who deftly did a little tweaking so that the replic Jon was indistinguishable from the original.

    Jon didn't die. He was abducted. Alright? Leave the man alone. He had anal probes, and if you don't think that leaves a mark....well, you don't know skookumpucky from shinola. Poor s.o.b. doesn't know which way his doohickey points. Leave Jon Alone!!!

  • Mana Mana Mana 2 years ago

    So! You know! Kate is a whore ( for money ). Jon is an accomplice. The children are innocent, and adorable. I hate the whole scenario.
    Cut.
