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. The judge in their custody dispute ordered the reality show stars to take a 3-hour parenting class, TMZ reports. Apparently it’s required for all Berks County parents fighting for custody, but we’ll just pretend it’s because the judge finds Jon’s bed-hopping and Ed-Hardy-wearing-ways as bad an example as we do.

Rejoice! Jon & Kate Ends Tonight

Gosselins finally off our TV screens, at least for now

(NEWSER) - Our long national nightmare is over: Jon and Kate Plus 8 airs its last episode tonight, although that’s no guarantee the tabloid-magnet Gosselins are going away.

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»
