Life is so hard for Jon Gosselin that he would trade his gig on a hit reality show for a desk job, he tells Us. “I wish I had a 9 to 5 job instead of the nightmare I'm living.

Alas, he needs the money—a source says he’s “suspicious” Kate is hiding some—because “I have two houses and eight children to take care of and I need to work,” he says. In what was probably a message for those tabloids that plague him so, Gosselin showed up to a volunteer gig later wearing a “Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies” T-shirt. (More Jon Gosselin stories.)
