Extra is reporting tonight that Jon Gosselin and Hailey Glassman have split. “They’re taking a break,” an insider told “Extra,” adding that it may not be permanent.
People is reporting that the situation is not “cut and dried” and “This was all a carefully orchestrated sequence: First, Hailey laments how hard her life has been lately and how bad Jon treats her, then Jon repents. Next, Jon plans to announce that he is going to be spending some time alone,” the source tells PEOPLE. “It has all been designed so that it doesn’t seem as though Hailey got dumped.”
In other Gosselin related news Radar Online is reporting that Jon Gosselin and Michael Lohan have parted ways in a bitter feud. Lohan is apparently unhappy about Jon’s treatment of Kate Major and Jon’s lack of cooperation in allowing Michael to jump on Jon’s gravy train.
Radar Online is also reporting that they have emails that prove that Jon’s camp “WAS involved in discussion about a reality TV show project with Octo-Mom.” Jon had denied this on Wednesday. Emails show that Jon’s representatives acknowledged receipt of an offer and requested more information and details including Hailey Glassman’s possible involvement in the show.
Jon Gosselin also is scheduled to appear at a forum at New York’s West Side Synagogue this Sunday with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach. He intends to “publicly apologize in a sacred space to those whom I have hurt.” He stated that he is committed to making things right between himself, Kate and the children.
Jon must be exhausted after the week he has had. I know I am just trying to keep up with the revolving door of people in and out of his life.

I think Jon has moved on to listening to the Rabbi over Lohan and maybe the Kellers. We will see. He does whatever the most recent person in his ear suggests. And he has publicly apologized to Kate before and turned around and trashed her to the paps (the whole filming of the dogs leaving and nonsense about being in court).
As for Hailey, I never thought that would last. Since Jon was still chasing skirts while with her, there was no way it was real love.
“This was all a carefully orchestrated sequence…”
That’s what I think. It’s just transparent bid to stay tabloid fodder. The rabbi is selling tickets to Jon’s public apology. Who can take it seriously? Not me.
Just go back to school, Jon, and get a new career. It’s hard, but not that hard.
Isn’t the “Rabbi on TLC? Ok, I have a conspiracy theory. Jon wants to make nice with TLC and have them drop the lawsuit. This is the way they both can save face. I bet we see Kate plus 8 make a comeback and Jon continue to be paid.
That’s right Susan. He’s the rabbi of Shalom in the House. So, you’re theory makes sense.
I found this on slate.com, dated March 29, 2001 by author Benjamin Soskis
Shmuley—he is known universally by his first name—is the best-selling author of Kosher Sex and has marketed himself as a rabbi to the stars and an expert on Jewish attitudes toward relationships and marriage. (“Dr. Ruth with a yarmulke,” the Washington Post called him.) Despite Jackson’s lesson in humility, he approaches self-promotion with religious fervor. As he told one reporter, his own Eleventh Commandment is “Thou shalt do anything for publicity and recognition.”
So, Rabbi Shmuley, with all his a-list celebs seeks them out too. Now, he may or may not have sought out Jon, but it seems reasonable tht perhaps that hooking up with Jon is just another marekting tool for the rabbi. Everyone’s using this family.
I think this is a ploy. Being the bad boy didn’t work, bashing on Kate didn’t work, taking the money for his pay check didn’t work , now we are repenting and want to work out our differences with Kate and be a good father to his children. Jon has to defend himself against TLC and this is his way to get back into their good graces. Hailey will be back as soon as the lawsuit is settled, if it goes according to plan. If not Hailey might say bye bye bye.
I agree with those on this thread and the last one who are calling BS and saying their breakup is orchestrated.
Susan, I’m not so sure it has so much to do w/the TLC lawsuit as his divorce, public opinion and money. In their child-like minds I think they thought they could take some heat off of Jon and make some money if there is a supposed break-up. That’s my speculation. I think Jon is just screwed on the TLC lawsuit unless he settles w/them fast.
I watched The Insider to see Kathy Griffin grill Hailey. The entire segment was about 3 minutes. What a lot of hype for those 3 minutes. The show was just aggravating. Seeing Hailey put on a show and humiliate herself was kind of sickening. I thought it was obvious that it was for money and staying in the public eye.
Kathy Griffin is using some new Kate material in her next show, I think it’s on next week. Kathy will make Kate more popular. The skit she did of Kate got so much attention. It should be a good time and I will try to catch the show. Kathy Griffin is so funny. I can’t believe how hot Kate has become.
Oops forgot to add this about Jon…
Now this is going to sound a bit out there and I hope not to offend anyone, that is not my purpose. But, do you think that perhaps he’s aligning himself up with Rabbi Shmuley because he’s perceived as “a better Jewish” person than the Kellers, who public opinion said was slimy, etc.?
Either way, I’m with you Ann. I think it’s orchestrated. It’s all bunk.
Oh yeah, I keep forgetting about the Rabbi and Jewish faith involved in all this. I am not familiar w/this Rabbi at all. I have read that he counsels some celebrities. I thought the show wasn’t on anymore. I have no idea what kind of show it was on TLC.
I don’t think Jon is sincere about anything at this point except Hailey and money. It’s sad to see him use a religion for his own selfish interests. There’s tickets being sold for some sort of event where Jon is apologizing? I haven’t read anything about that yet.
As for Lohan, it took him a long long time get mad at how Jon treated Kate Major. Geeze, these people are shameless in what they say.
One personality crisis after another. The whole thing is tiresome.
I watched “Shalom in the Home” when it was on the air; I really liked Rabbi Shmuley. In spite of the fact that he is interested in being a ‘famous’ Rabbi, I think he’s sincere in his beliefs. A lot of what I’ve heard and read from him makes sense to me. IMO, it looks like a step in the right direction for Jon. Finally.
My local station cut into the Insider and chopped up the interview with Kathy and Hailey. The ad of what was coming up showed her saying Are you high now? but that confrontation was never shown here. Did anyone actually see the entire thing? They cut back in when Hailey was saying that she was arrested for ” a little pot”? So if anyone else watched, what did we miss? I don’t care what Hailey does or what Jon does. He can smoke whatever and rink whatever and be with whomever. But around his kids, it seems that he needs supervised visitation. If I was Kate when her girls called her about that nanny/gf being there and the police came when Jon wouldn’t let her in, I would have gone to my lawyer and said send in the police to see what is going on under my roof in front of my children. Jon made it sound like Kate was faking tears in front of the cops. And because it was his visitation time, he can do ANYTHING he wants to do there, including illegal drugs, booze and whatever else. He crosses the line when he brings his girlfriends in to hang around the kids, and he is still married to Kate. She should have the right to say: no way. Not in my house and not in front of my kids. THAT is why I am mad at Jon. Do whatever you want to do with your life, but when you are there with your kids, be a dad!
if jon wants to apologize in a sacred place…why is he choosing that place when most of the people he will be apologizing to aren’t jewish and won’t be there? and why is he charging for it? see those two things right there negate his talk of repentance.
if he truly meant it he should have had a little talk with jesus and went on to live that new repentance w/o all the stinkin’ publicity!
These articles may be biased, but Rabbi Shmuley could be another questionable advisor for Jon Gosselin. You have to page down past the Pinocchio article on the second link.

I don’t know much about this rabbi, but what I do know I find distasteful. It’s tacky enough for ordinary people to be famehounds, but I expect more (rightly or wrongly) from religious leaders. If Shmuley really wanted to help Jon, he’d do so out of the spotlight, and he’d advise Jon to step out of it for a while. Not because it’s inherently bad, but because Jon obviously can’t handle it, at least right now. He keeps screwing up, very publicly, and it’s not good for him or his kids.
I think that someone was able to get through to Jon, on his level, that he could very well lose custody rights to the kids. His behavior has been so immature and erratic that a judge could very well put him on supervised visitation only. In fact I think it would be derelict if a judge didn’t do so. All his lies, mixed in with the things he’s saying about their mother makes him a terrible example for the kids. Also, his courting the paps, allowing and welcoming them to follow him puts the kids in danger. I don’t think any of this apology stuff is sincere on his part, but rather an attempt to clean up his image. And that is what is important to him, as evidenced in his interviews with anyone with a camera.
Did everyone hear that Nana Janet has died?
.radaronline.com/exclusives/2009/10/woman-who-took-care-gosselin-kids-dies
I wonder if either J or K went to the funeral? If they didn’t , they’ll be criticized, but if either of them went it would have been a media circus. Sad, though, she was too young.
Also, here is Rabbi Shmuley talking about Jon. What he says sounds good, but I guess we’ll have to wait to see what kind of a production they make of this. I just hope Jon doesn’t think that if he has this conversation with the Rabbi, then says the “right” things, that everything he has done will be forgiven and forgotten. He’s still going to have to prove that he means what he says.

Oh that absolutely breaks my heart to hear about Nana Janet! Thank you so much KiKi for letting us know. Bless her heart, she was indeed very young!
Well, I finally got out of the hospital late Friday night, was able to take my kids to Six Flags last night and tonight get on here and find out about Nana Janet, Jon and Hailey’s break up news as well as Jon’s public apology that they are SELLING tickets for???
How twisted is that and just WHO does he think he is?! The first thought that came to my mind was the story from The Bible where Jesus overturned the tables of the people that were using His Church to profit.
Jon really better watch it because going forward with this might really turn off a lot of people and be yet another example of his immaturity. Daily I am amazed that he considers himself such a celebrity that he thinks that he can afford to be greedy and picky about things just because of who he is. It wasn’t too long ago that he was crying because he DIDN’T want to be famous. Now you’re absolutley correct Jennie…this apology should be done in private…in fact, WE shouldn’t even know that he’s going to do it???! The fact that they are collecting money for it leaves me with no words…and that’s a rarity!ha!

Jon Gosselin canceled his public appearance with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach at the last minute and issued a rambling statement about his girlfriend Hailey Glassman on Sunday.
Jon, who has previously issued “I’m sorry for everything” statements, says he is “overly stressed, distraught and angry with everything going on in my life.”
He was scheduled to appear with Rabbi Boteach, also a controversial figure, in New York on Sunday night, for a discussion billed as “Fame: Blessing or Curse?” The event was described as “a raw and intimate dialogue on the ethical challenges and moral responsibility of celebrity.”
Rabbi Boteach had rented out the social hall at the West Side Jewish Center for the event and the cancellation was so last-minute that even the Center’s leader, Rabbi Herman didn’t know about it. “There are about 50 people here for the event,” he told RadarOnline.com just minutes before it was to begin. “We haven’t been told of a cancellation.”
The “challenge” of celebrity has apparently caused Jon to breakup with girlfriend Hailey Glassman (as well as continue to publicly attack wife Kate).
In a statement released to Entertainment Tonight on Sunday, Jon said:
“I have been overly stressed, distraught and angry with everything going on in my life. It has been overwhelming, and at times I have taken it all out on Hailey. She has been unfairly treated by the world. She has always been there for me and with no judgment. She has been the one to tell me how I need to not only talk the talk but also walk the walk.
“When we first met she has said to me ‘Jon, actions speak louder then words’ and she has continuously told me that, which is right. She has been my best friend and I admire her as a person. I need to be honest not only for myself, but also for my children. I will forever love Hailey. I see how all this has truly hurt her. She has not been happy and hates the media light that she has been put in. She is in no way a home wrecker. That’s absolutely ridiculous and false when the world calls her that! She has given up her happiness the last 7 months and taken the brunt of my anger and the world’s disappointment of Kate and I separating for my well-being.
“She has been selfless and never ever asked me for anything or anything of me. She’s been the best friend I have ever had and I only wish the world could get to know her and see what an amazing person she is, instead of constantly judging her of lies and things that are NOT true. Hailey says she thinks it’s a good idea that we both take some time right now and focus on each of our individual lives.
“It is important for me to go back to Pennsylvania and be with my children and get through this divorce and decide what I truly want out of life. I do love her and care deeply. She has made me realize I can love myself and just need to be more honest. I am taking things day by day. She tells me ‘honesty is the best policy’ and I started to embrace that saying and want to live by it. I thank Hailey her family and my fans for support and always being there.”
For those of you keeping score, Hailey doesn’t hate the media spotlight too much – she’s tried out for several reality TV shows!
Jon and Hailey announced their split last week but were together behind the scenes while making separate TV appearances talking about the end of their relationship.
Kimmie, didn’t that statement seem like it was written from Jon’s own hand with no input from his representatives?
I had to read several sentences more than once to understand what the heck he was saying and he repeated the same tired points several times over. The reference to “the world” doing this, that or the other thing, was also how Hailey talked on “The Insider.” “The world calls me a home wrecker.” Um, ok, whatever you say, Hailey.
I honestly don’t know what is going on with him. Very very strange behavior.
Jon cancelled tonight’s appearance at the last minute…
i agree anya. i think his behavior has been strange all along. i wonder if he was like that before kate? just un-anchored…fly by night and doing whatever came his way. i think kate’s personality may have grounded him quite a bit.
now ET is saying that jon will speak…or probably has already. wonder if he did or didn’t.
ok, guess he did…lol.
Jon Gosselin had a last minute change of heart and showed up for his confessional with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach at the West Side Jewish Center in New York Sunday night.
Gosselin’s appearance was announced days ago but the Jon & Kate Plus 8 star got cold feet as the 7 PM Sunday start time approached and he almost didn’t make it. He eventually did, looking nervous and more than 30 minutes late. He blamed the NYC
Maybe he shouldn’t have bothered. The hall that had been booked for the event was only about one-quarter full, one eyewitness told RadarOnline.com. “And of that, there were about 75 media people there and only about 50 members of the paying public.”
Tickets were advertised for $25 in advance or at the door, but with so few fans attending, they didn’t even bother to collect at the door, the source said.
Gosselin spoke for more than an hour.
Story Developing….
Good grief.
Ann, GOOD GRIEF IS RIGHT! This man just gets stranger by the day! I wonder if he got into some hot water when he tried to blow off the “forgiveness event” so he showed up in the end to keep things from getting more negative for him. The last thing he needs is to break ANOTHER contractual obligation. I’m actually looking forward to watching Kate tonight. Hopefully she’ll be able to stay away from those “stock answers” without revealing something that could hurt the kids down the road.
I third that Good Grief! He keeps saying he is going to apologize, then he does more crappy sutff. Why doesn’t he just start acting like a decent guy, then he won’t have to apologize anymore.
And I wish he would be more specific about what he is apologizing for. There was a clip of Kate on the Today show this morning, saying how hurtful the affair rumor was. Has Jon ever come out and admitted that he made that up, and told his in-laws? He owed apologies to the Neild family,too.
Wasn’t it just two weeks ago that he had Jo&Ke over for their photo op? Does he have any regrets about that?
More drama. There are now repots that Jon orchestrated Hailey’s tearful interview about his abuse to her on The Insider… Nothing surprises me anymore!
entertainment.blogs.foxnews.com/2009/11/02/fox411-exclusive-hailey-glassmans-abuse-claims-about-jon-gosselin-made-up-by-jon/
I just saw a portion of the Jon and Hailey interview on ET. It was the one where he walked out. Not sure what my take is on them. He seemed very out of it actually said that spending Thanksgiving with Hailey was on his calendar…. really a clueless answer. So anyway, he stormed out of the interview after taking his time joining the interview. Hailey also seems very nieve …. ” I tell Jon that he should be friends for his children”….. “he shouldn’t miss Thanksgiving and birthdays”. So nieve…. sadly that is what happens with most divorces and even if the intention was to be “friends” having a girlfriend, going on TV to say you despise your soon to be x….. those things don’t usually foster friendship.
Did they do this interview in parts or are they just releasing parts or am I was out of the loop?
Kat, I think it was one interview, released in parts to get the best ratings value for the show. It reminds me of the 5 or 6 part interview series that Jodi and Kevin did in May with Radar Online.
Isn’t it odd how that was edited and spliced together? It’s like they did retakes or something. It looked staged.
