TLC Hits Back at Jon

'Feeling used,' network will blur brand logos on Gosselin's clothing

Share

(Newser) – TLC’s had it up to here with Jon Gosselin’s antics, insiders tell Radar, prompting a new policy: The network will blur brand logos he sports on their show—bad news for the Ed Hardy fan and father of eight as he shops for endorsement deals. “TLC feels like they are being used by Jon," says one source. "They want to send him a message loud and clear.” Some execs are reportedly talking about dumping him from the show entirely.

How about just dumping the show itself entirely? Does anybody out there actually want to watch this crap? Reply

who are these people and why are they in the news...do people feel that what they say and do are really that important or good role models for our children and those around us...you have to wonder. But then again I guess my neighbors feel folks like this deserve space for some reason. beyond me...a bit more concerned about the bigger issues we all have to come to terms with today, although alot of people I guess escape in a world like this Jon, or whatever his name is, lives in or thinks he lives in. guess he thinks he is cool or something. go figure Reply
