Jon Gosselin Plans to "Continue on Television"

Jon Gosselin may have halted production on Kate Plus 8, but that doesn't mean his TV career is over.
Jon -- who has been been approached by pal Michael Lohan to join the Celebrity Boxing Federation -- tells Entertainment Tonight he'll "continue on television" and that he's "not worried about future employment."

(Lohan told Usmagazine.com on Monday that his show with Jon, The Divorced Dad's Club, "looks good.")
The dad of eight, 32, also admits he made a mistake by withdrawing money from a shared bank account with estranged wife Kate.

"It was just after arbitration and we weren't supposed to take money out of the restrictive account and we both did," he says.
Adds Jon, "I was found in contempt for doing so. I didn't realize, I thought I was just taking my paycheck out."
Look back on Jon's scandalous past
Jon says he's been ordered to return $155,000 to the account, which originally held $231,000. (Kate said on the Today show that Jon left her with just $1,346, and she couldn't pay the family's bills as a result.)
Money that Kate took from the account is "unaccounted for," Jon alleges, adding that lawyers are reviewing their accounting paperwork and will know "what's going on" by Friday.
"I'm gonna be truthful and abide by the court and I'll put it back," Jon says. "And she has to do the same."
On Tuesday, a judge ordered the money returned before an Oct. 26 court date.
Jon also tells ET that he wishes he could have spoken to Kate at Tuesday's divorce hearing.
"I thought about doing that, but in a public setting as a public figure you have to watch what you say and do," he says.
Tell Us What You Think
85You are all so right about Jon. I don't read him as a mean person, just someone who is clueless and out of touch with reality. Kate found wise friends to advise her but Jon apparently did not. She is right, they would have split, show or no show. Jon has no relatable skills. He should have kept his job when he had one. This economy and I have no mercy left.
H e couldn't wait to get off the reality show he said now he changed his mind and wants to go back on for quick big bucks. He wants a paycheck to spend on the high life he doesn;t pay the bills or spend it on his kids. When you are married you don't get a paycheck the money is altogether for running the household.
john is fat and ugly and looks just like the pregmant man

Jon you are gross
Wiping out the family bank account is your paycheck! What a liar, Jon. You are not fooling anyone!
BTW..Congrats Kate for not getting drawn into a mudslinging match with Jon through the media. At least one parent is thinking about the kids. Even with the media constantly promoting Jon's version "lies" to "bait" you, you maintained a dignified stance and don't think it hasn't been noticed!!
Every time Jon gets caught behaving inappropriately, he points at Kate and says "she did it too"..I do not know how Kate put up with this loser for so long!! She had "9" to raise and Jon is lazy and has serious behavioral issues. He calls Kate a nag..he's lucky she kept him around this long. He is a very bad role model for those kids..
He is just really stupid, I wonder if he's slightly retarded. A legend in his own lunchtime.
That's pretty funny since he claimed Kate was lying and he only took out $20,000 or so. And so what if Kate took $55,000 for bills and the kids... she's taking care of 8 children and a huge house! He wants her to give the money back to support his bachelor pad, sleazy girls, and vacations I guess.
NO ONE AND I MEAN NO ONE...WANTS TO SEE THIS UGLY AS$HOLE ON TV, I AM SO SICK OF SEEING AND HEARING HIS LAME STORY'S AND LIES ON ALL THE NEWS PROGRAMS. HE NEEDS TO GET A REAL JOB, AND STFU, EVERYONE IS SICK OF THIS LYING CRY BABY PIG!!

I stopped watching J&K+8 when their marriage ended...no way in h e l l I'll ever watch this d'bag on tv again! No wonder Kate was grumpy all the time...poor woman had 9 kids!!!
Jon is an "ass"! He's a women abuser, he's disgrace to his children, and there is no excuse in the world that would make him redeemable to anyone. He lacks the stability that those children need and makes no sense more then half the time he talks. I won't watch him on any show he's in. I think any great professional in the industry would be making a very bad decision starring on a show with Jon as it could end their career. Those kids need a loving person and if you don't have enough respect for their mother then you're not a good person or father. I hate you Jon and wish you nothing but the harvest in which you sow.
