Jon, Kate Must Take Parenting Class

Maybe it'll help. Or not.

(NEWSER) - Finally, someone has realized Jon and Kate Gosselin’s parenting skills leave a lot to be desired.

Jon Borrowed $88K From Galpal... to Pay Kate

Um, he should probably get a job or two

(NEWSER) - Yes, Jon Gosselin is back in the news—and, not surprisingly, it’s for a quite pathetic reason. Remember when he took all that money out of his joint bank account with ex-wife Kate? Well, turns out when the judge ordered him to pay it all back, a totally broke Jon borrowed $88,000 from then-girlfriend Hailey Glassman to do just that. Radar even has a copy of the check. More»
