You hit the nail on the head with this one. Better go pimp out some more Ed Hady douche wear. Wait, countdown to Jon Gosselin tell all book in 3, 2, 1....

Couldn't have said it better! How painfully obvious he is...

So he's putting the brakes on the divorce too? Wonder if his next strategy, when this one fails, is to try and reconcile with Kate? He'll do whatever it takes to get the green!

Yep -he wants to shut down production to protect his kids while he still tries to get his new show with Michael Lohan going...

FOX411 EXCLUSIVE: Jon Gosselin to team with Lindsay Lohan's dad on new show

Friends close to Jon Gosselin tell FOX411 that the reality show dad was more surprised than they expected him to be when he learned TLC was curtailing his role on "Jon & Kate Plus 8" to make Kate its central focus.

"Jon was taken aback with how quickly everything happened with TLC," says an insider. "They needed to act fast with the ratings slipping, and Kate is the more beloved parent.

And though they say Jon is upset, he is also slowly realizing all the mistakes he made since the split, and is ready to move on to his next project with, wait for it.... Lindsay Lohan's dad.

"Now that Jon is free to take on a new job, he's really diving into the idea of 'The Divorced Dads Club' with Michael Lohan," says the source. "Michael has been a friend and adviser through the scandal, and they have mutual friends. Their team is eager to capitalize on Jon's new freedom and lawyers and publicists are working on meetings for Jon. He’s looking at every opportunity available."

But Jon is is still smarting from the beating he has taken in the tabloid press. "He feels remorse and anger, but he does see that he could have handled things in a more mature manner," says a snitch. "He doesn’t think people understand him, and that is the most frustrating part for Jon."

Kate, on the other hand, is on top of the world, say sources.

"To say she is happy would be an understatement. This gives her one less thing she will have to bicker over with Jon," an insider tells FOX411. "The turmoil of the last months was difficult for Kate to deal with and she was in tears many days. The move by TLC gives her a little breathing room even further from Jon. The separation and divorce proceedings have made her feel like she's on an emotional rollercoaster. The new contract alleviates some of her daily stress. It will be a good thing for their family."

That's because Jon will rarely be on camera from now on. "He will no longer film special segments each episode with the kids," says a source. "His time with them will be mostly private."

What a concept! They should do a show about it.

And the word "penalty."

What a bunch of assholes.

douche.

Just noticed that his carefully worded sign bars only TLC. Guess he wanted to be sure that other members of the media did not stay away.

[pookie207]

How does he think he can pay support for 8 kids without the show? Or does he think he can buy a condo at Trump Tower on an IT tech's paycheck?

How ridiculous! It's amazing how this guy managed to turn around his image, in a bad way, in a record amount of time. I used to think he was the better person.

I agree with everyone above who says this guys a major PRICK. It's one thing to end a marriage, quite another to use your kids as pawns and try and take away your soon-to-be-ex's livelihood. No matter what, it was their job, their main source of income. Now that he's out of the show (which isn't that what he always wanted since he said he HATED the scrutiny?) he wants to cause more drama in their lives and halt production? He's an idiot.

I tell you, it's always the QUIET ONES who are the ones with the skeletons in the closets. The assholes you least suspect. I bet you he was a fucker to live with. The public, the world and TLC is now seeing what Kate Gosselin had to deal with behind closed doors all these years.

Ihave said that ALL ALONG, she is a bitch but I truly believe he made her that way and the passive aggressive BS he always did got on my nerves.. AND HE YELLED AT HER AS MUCH AS SHE YELLED AT HIM!!!!!!!! douchebag!

[AgentOrange]

No one is gonna be exploiting those kids, without his co operation.

I'm a little shocked that SNL hasn't been doing parodies of Jon and Kate. They should of course leave the kids out of it but the adults give so much material to work with.

Cougar Hour with Kate

Jailbait hour with Jon

Brilliant! ANd perplexing why they aren't all over it?!

[MontanaMama]

Didn't he give his consent when they signed up for the current season? Isn't this sad little sign a breach of contract? Sue the little whiny bitch. (real issue is that they won't let "Johnathon" out of the clause of his contract that he can't be on any other show without TLC's consent - fucktard is hold his kids hostage for bank)

[MoodyJenny86]

I wonder how many of these kids will be fucked up when they are teenagers/young adults? Yep...I can see it now, they'll be like the Kardashians with like 3 different reality shows...this is getting ridiculous.
