What It Takes To Be Famous Today

According to this article, Jon is no longer with his Utah girlfriend Morgan Christie. She's complained that he's a lazy bum and used her for friends instead of making his own (although that's kind of what happens when someone moves into a friend's home a thousand miles away, right?)

Hopefully she will quickly fade into oblivion and not try to hang onto her fifteen minutes the way Hailey seems determined to. According to Radar Online Hailey's planning to move to L.A. and has ambitions of legalizing marijuana. That fits perfectly since her Twitter page background shows a head shop with all sorts of drug paraphernalia. She's also reportedly been signed to her own reality show. Based on what? Having dated someone semi-famous for a few months, then complaining on Twitter about his deficits including how small his penis is?

Remember the good old days before reality TV when people had to actually do something admirable to be famous? Like stop a crime, create great works of art or walk on the moon? Remember when people did good things because it felt good to do them, not just to become famous? It seems like nowadays fame is confused with infamy, and it's the goal no matter what you have to do to get there.

Haley's new reality show doesn't pass the smell test to me. I have a feeling that her new show is a reward for trashing Jon in the tabloid media.

I wouldn't be surprised if you're right, Lauren. TLC HATES Jon and are bent on destroying him one way or another. I have to think Jon is pretty depressed at this point. I sure hope he's still with a counselor and getting some help.

As far as Hailey is concerned, they'll have to take her pot away from her if they expect her to show up on time. She's too fond of those potted plants, and you can take that any way you want. LOL...

I hope Jon is more careful from now on. Rule number One: Get to know someone before becoming seriously involved with them. If you know they are of good character, you can be sure they won't turn and go wackydoodle on you after you break up. Rule number two: Only become involved with mature people. But that takes being mature yourself, right? Rule numner three: Don't think with Mr. Happy, no matter how small some people say he is. :)

I think your rule number two is the one that speaks for me. Jon's tabloid hijinx have been disappointing. He always seemed nice, but there needs to be more there than "being nice" to make a good husband, father, and man. You need to work hard, show some backbone, act ethically, put your children's needs ahead of your own, help your wife to be a better person.

I, for one, am glad we know very little about this lovers' spat. One thing TLC finally did right is get Jon Gosselin out of the spotlight when they settled the lawsuit. It's the best thing to happen to that family in a while.

I'm hoping Jon goes on a sabatical from women in general and turns his focus to some heavy duty counseling and as much quality time as he can get with the kids. I would think he has to be suffering from all the events of this past year. I just hope he has an inner strength along with the love for his children that will get him back on the right track. Jon, stay away from romance and work on finding your core values again and loving yourself.

Amen to all the above!

I think we should canonize Jon Gosselin. What do you all think? He is perfect and it is Kate who is evil. Right?
