Jon Gosselin may be strapped for cash, but he's got a plan: another new girlfriend.

"He has a new forty-something Washington, D.C., love interest," a Gosselin insider says in the new issue of Us Weekly, out now. "She's rich -- and he's hoping to have her back one of his projects."

But how attractive of an investment is a guy who can't even keep his car? "Jon is selling his BMW to raise cash until he gets a job," says another source close to the reality star, 33. "He's hoping to get $25,000 for it." (Jon bought the used M3 last year for $30,000.)

And while ex-wife Kate, 35, took a VIP-guided tour of Disneyland with their eight children April 17 -- and lounged poolside the day prior at the Luxe Beverly Wilshire hotel -- Jon was hatching money-making schemes.

"He has been lobbying TLC to get a show of his own," the insider says. (His ex's Twist of Kate debuts on the channel this summer.) "It's killing him that Kate is having all of this success."

    He ruined a good thing! Now he has to sell his car just to make ends meet. What happened to all the people that surrounded him last year? Where are they now? He's nothing but a loser who doesn't pay child support. Here's an idea, get a job!

  • May 27, 2010 - 9:18pm Jon you are such a M O R O N

    you sued TLC and now you want them to give you your own show, that's just plain stupid.

    I would to know when the last time he paid his child support. HE HAS NOT PAID A DIME. How would you support all your children without working at any job. Get a grip people, he is a dead beat dad, and she is the sole supoort of all these children.

    I almost feel sorry for him, but a man who goes on National Television and says the DESPISES his wife is too much. Their children heard those words too. He stopped the show to be vindictive towards her, slept with, partied, and took trips with college girls...I'm not Judging, but payback is HARSH.

    Hmm, selling his "BM" for cash. Wish I'd thought of doing that instead of working an actual job.Is he doing this on eBay?

  • April 27, 2010 - 11:03am Kate needs counseling

    Kate needs help she was so mean to her dancer, that poor guy was so happy to be kicked of the show. He is finally free of that witch!!!

  • April 27, 2010 - 11:02am Kate should of stayed fat

    Kate was loved more when she was normal and not all fake now she is just a hated loser mom who can't care ffor her kids

  • April 27, 2010 - 11:01am Kate is demented

    I feel sorry for Jon, Kate treated him like Sh-t, she totally demoralized him! Kate drove him away, she is a cold narsistic witch. Jon never cheated on her, he had flings after they split. The poor guy got no affection from stone cold Kate. Who could live with that woman, she has driven her whole family away! Once these kids get older, they will see the light too, I hope Jon can hold himself together for the sake of his children. He may have made mistakes, but the guy was looking for affection and someone to love.

  • April 27, 2010 - 11:00am sick & twisted Kate

    JON PAYS $21,000 A MONTH CHILD SUPPORT why can't she stay home and take care of her kids!!!

  • April 27, 2010 - 10:59am sick & twisted Kate

    This lady dont care about her kids.. all she cares about is money and her bodyguard. She isn't a mom the nanny spends more time with those kids and she is more of a mom then Kate. Kates show should be called SICK & TWISTED KATE

    i wouldn't call stomping thru a dance routine, getting brow beat and then booted off exactly a "success"? by what standards are these people writing this bunk?even

  • April 25, 2010 - 3:39am Carol

    HEY! Maybe Jon could convince his new girlfriend to go on that reality show "Tool Academy"! It would be quite an appropriate reality show for him. Surprised he hasn't thought of it.

  • April 24, 2010 - 9:29pm Summer

    Righttttttttttttt

  • April 24, 2010 - 9:16pm stacey123

    ah, Loser!!!

  • April 24, 2010 - 2:41pm mh

    Hey Deny you moron why do you think Kate and Jon split up? HE was having an affair when they were married too. It doesn't matter how she treated him he still has to be a man and do what is right by his CHILDREN!!!! If he took the abuse than he should have done something about it before all this mess started. I would expect a man to condone his behavior, since most of you cheaters are alike. Whoa is me and I have been treated like crap. Always blame someone else for your messed up behavior and not take responsibility for the kids you made. If you didn't want to be a parent both the woman and man should keep their private parts to themselves instead on each other. You know what they say about paybacks?

    And people hate Kate? What a low life Jon has become. I use to think he was the better one but, now I have more sympathy for Kate then ever. How dare he expect some rich girl to pay his debts and oligations. Any girl who gets hooked up with must be in it for the fame. It isn't because he has money, that's for sure. At least Kate is there for her kids, no matter how screwed up the reason. They both need severe concousling and QASAP. The most important people in all this mess is the kids and if Jon keeps up with stupidy Kate will win it all. Single parents have enough trouble as it is and these two should put theirselves aside and focus on the children. Believe it or not Kate is the better parent and those who don't think so are delusional and as messed up as they are. At least Kate is doing it for her kids, Jon just so someone else pays his obligations. Grow up and me a man.

    John apparently has a job ... abusing the legal system and harrassing Kate ... he spent his money ... lived life in the fast lane and she is left to support the house and the kids ... they were both losers to begin with but she is still much better than he is ... if there is such a thing ...

    Looks like Karma just come back and bit him in the ass totally!!! I think he's getting what he deserves! He talks about Kate abandoning the kids to do DWTS when he abandoned them to screw other women!! Atleast Kate is doing what she is doing to support her children! JON IS SUCH A JERK!!! I'm TEAM KATE all the way!!
