Jon Gosselin -- who tried to get his eight kids off TV because he thought it was detrimental to their health -- wants back on the boob tube.

"It would be nice to have a job on television again," he told UsMagazine.com at THQ's E3 Take No Prisoners event Wednesday in L.A. "I'm not so sure about reality. I'm just exploring my options right now, meeting with certain people about different ideas. I can’t talk about it; you have to stay tuned."

As for rumors that ex Kate may be getting a dating show, Jon, 33, is mum.

"I saw some stuff on the Internet about the Bachelorette, and I saw stuff about our own dating show, and I saw reports from our spokesperson that that’s not true," he said. "At this point, I don’t really mix in her business."

Though part of him feels it would cause "conflict," "I don’t know how I feel about it," he said. "I don’t really want to comment on it. If there is verification, I will talk about it."

He said he doesn't talk shop with Kate, 35.

"We talk about: 'Hey, I'm going to be there at 2 p.m. to pick up the kids. Is there gas in the van? Good,'" he explained. "That kind of thing."

As for his own love life, Jon said he couldn't be happier with his new squeeze, Ellen Ross, 23, whom he met on a blind date.

"We just kind of hit it off, backyard barbeques in Pennsylvania, hanging out, good times," he said. "She knew of me and all that stuff [and still] saw me as a normal person."

The relationship is "really different for me," he added. "It's like a comfort zone."

Though a source tells Us Weekly Ross "hates" kids, Jon said she makes efforts to bond with his brood.

"You have to find ways to occupy the time, especially when it rains!" he said. One day, "I was like, 'Oh my goodness, what are we going to do?' So she got Monopoly, board games."

He says he's taking their romance "day by day. I have a hard time talking about my personal life because of everything that happened last year. I just stray away from it. We just want to be left alone."

His Father's Day plans?

"Everyone’s like, 'Eight kids -- that’s a lot!'" he told Us. "But one 'I love you' is worth a million."

  • August 13, 2010 - 10:04am What cheats the Kreiders and Jon are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO two faced

    Kevin and Jodi Kreider Sell Out Kate Gosselin, Join Team Jon October 27th, 2009 4:29 PM by Free Britney Tags: Kate Gosselin, Jon Gosselin, Gloria Allred You'll rarely hear the THG staff take Kate Gosselin's side in anything, but when her own brother, Kevin Kreider, sells her out on CBS' Early Show, well ... We're still not on Kate's side, per se. We're just saying what a d!ck move it is by Kevin Kreider and loser wife Jodi to procure 15 minutes at her expense. The two have recently joined forces with Team Jon Gosselin (they officially are Team Jon Gosselin, as we can't imagine there are many other members). Their mission: Free the Gosselin Eight! Kevin and Jodi Kreider took to the morning show today to point out, as they have in the past, that they think the Jon and Kate Plus 8 should be canned. No one asked for the their opinion on the matter, mind you, nor does Jon Gosselin give a $h!t about anyone but himself. But here we are, just the same. They even brought Gloria Allred, famed lawyer and child welfare advocate who loves microphones and cameras even more than they do, along for fun. The backstabbing Gosselin relatives promotly threw Kate under the bus pretending to care about their poor, exploited nieces and nephews. Mmm hmm.

  • June 28, 2010 - 11:45am I slept with Kendra to! #42,872

    Well at least she is wearing a push up bra to walk to dog. That is so important

  • June 26, 2010 - 9:04pm JON LOOKS GROSS!

    Yeh, as sexy as Chuckie the Killer Doll!

  • June 26, 2010 - 9:03pm JON LOOKS GROSS!

    When he was with Kate, he looked put together, clean and well dressed. Now he looks like he's enrolled in clown school!!(sorry clowns-you look much better than him)

  • June 23, 2010 - 10:08pm LMAO

    Looks like Jon's 15 minutes are way gone.

  • June 21, 2010 - 4:01pm Damsons and Sons

    If Jon had been that loving with Kate they might still be together. His worries would have been less. Kate would still be taking care of him. He will never find another Kate. Those women don't want an old fat, balding and out of work old man to look after. At least Kate tried to get his hair fixed. LOL Poor thing didn't have sense enough to listen to what the doctor said about the hat. That's how he lost most of the new hair. Plus wearing a hat kills the hair roots because lack of air.

  • June 21, 2010 - 8:38am Not happy

    Neither look very happy. My wonder is if he has to pay these women for the attention. she is just a fame seeker and he is a loser. He would have to pay me too. Not a very good catch. Pot gut, no hair, no job, just a loser. Every young girls dream/NOT. Mothers must be so a shamed!

  • June 21, 2010 - 8:18am purebred month

    Jon acts like he is in grammer school. He never grew up and will always be just like this. What a shame!!!

    If you can remember early on in this Jon Gosselin and Kate Gosselin divorce, Kateâ??s brother Kevin Kreider and his wife Jodi were big mouthpieces when it came to dishing out their emotions via the media. In the midst of it all, Jon must have forgiven Kevin because on Friday night the duo were doing a bit of barhopping, sans their women. According to a source, Jonny boy and Kevin started their night out in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania where they decided to have a few beers at the bar of restaurant T.J. Rockwellâ??s. Then it was on to the Iron Hill Brewery in Lancaster, Pennsylvania where they also enjoyed a few brews. So why has Jon decided to hang out with Kateâ??s brother again after he accused Jon of exploiting their children for television? Who really knows for sure. What I can say is that if Kate was spotted out on the town ripping it up, tossing a few back and flirting with a few men, Iâ??m thinking that the media would really have something to say about her! Kate put a halt to her relationship with her brother once he and his wife Jodi made their feelings about Jon and Kate public. Kevin was quoted as saying, â??Weâ??re just so heartbroken and sad about the announcement they madeâ?¦ an announcement that could be so life-shattering for a young child. It was used to gain ratings without any regard for my nieces and nephews.â?? Kevinâ??s wife Jodi had said, â??It was the saddest thing to witness. This is family. We lived a life with Jon and Kate for years and weâ??ve developed really close relationships with each of the kids, and to know that this is being viewed by millions and used as a ratings booster. Itâ??s horrible.. Itâ??s horrible.â?? I wonder if Aunt Jodi will approve of her hubby hitting the town with Jon. My guess is that this is just one big fat plot to keep their dirty media hungry selves in the lime light. Just sayinâ??.

  • June 19, 2010 - 10:12pm LMAO

    Jon gives birth then girlfriend. They both have twins on same day. How amazing.

  • June 19, 2010 - 6:01pm Guess What!

    The answer to if Jon puts gas in the Van....H E L L NO.. Not giving you a short answer. Why do you think he asked Kate if it had any gas in it in the first place. Some sorry excuse for a dad.

    She has had two other guys live with her in the last year. I'm sure Jon will be gone soon like the others.

  • June 19, 2010 - 9:08am Yyyyyy

    Go Jon! Live your life as a normal dad while your putrid ex pursues married men and the almighty dollar at the kids' expense. The truth will come out in the end, and I believe you'll be vindicated.
