The diamond-studded ears, the Ed Hardy shirts—that’s who Jon Gosselin really is! “It’s not a mid-life crisis,” he said on last night’s episode of Jon and Kate Plus 8, E! reports. “I’m nowhere near mid-life. I’m 32 years old. I’ve always liked motorcycles and cars and fast things and I have four tattoos. I’ve had my ears pierced since I was, I don't know, 15 years old.”

“It’s the way I’ve always been expressing myself,” he said. “Things are just coming out a lot more now. This is who I am and this is who I’m gonna be.” As for Kate, she’s still in New York filming an appearance for Thursday’s Live with Regis and Kelly, a source tells the Daily News. Unlike yesterday’s Today interview, she’ll keep this one “light and fun,” the source says. (More Jon Gosselin stories.)
