I’ll admit, I stopped following the Gosselin drama a couple of weeks ago. I find both Kate and Jon to be abhorrent people, and the whole drama with Jon and his latest girlfriend(s) was just sad and depressing. I just read CB’s summary from earlier today about this Star Magazine reporter, Kate Major, and her claims that she was “dating” Jon. As it turns out, Kate Major’s a liar, and now she’s unemployed. Star has a little one sentence update on their site saying this: “Star Senior reporter Kate Major resigned this morning, Thursday, July 23, citing a conflict of interest between her reporting duties for the magazine and her relationship with Jon Gosselin.” Except that Jon’s friends have run to Radar to claim that he’s “distraught” with the notion that he and Kate Major are dating, and that “she just wanted to put herself in the spotlight.” Dur. What did Jon think, that he just had young girls flinging themselves onto his Ed Hardy jock?
Jon Gosselin says he never had a romantic relationship with Star magazine reporter Kate Major and was tricked by her, sources closes to the situation told RadarOnlne.com exclusively.
Major suddenly resigned from Starmagazine Thursday.
Major, 26, announced to the world Wednesday night that she was romantically involved with the 32-year-old Jon & Kate Plus 8 dad. She was at dinner with him last night with Michael Lohan and two couples and Major and Jon had been to dinner Saturday night in New York City.
Meanwhile sources close to the situation told RadarOnline.com that Jon is distraught over Major’s claims that they were romantically involved.
He told a close pal that despite her public proclamation, he never slept with her and never was romantically involved with her.
“Oh my God, I can’t believe she did this to me,” he told a source. “What do I do? She’s totally (bleeping) me over?”
In a statement released Wednesday night, Major said they were romantically involved. “I didn’t mean it to happen, it just did,” she said. “I went to do a story on Jon and ended up falling for him.”
That statement caused the scandal to explode in national news coverage and, the source said, infuriated Jon. Major was unavailable for comment Thurdsday and her father said, “No comment. I don’t want to be involved in this whatsoever,” when a RadarOnline.com reporter asked him about his daughter’s relationship with Jon.
Jon said he went to dinner with Major on Saturday night because she wanted to get details for a story she was writing. But her announcement last night that they were romantically involved completely caught him off guard, the source told RadarOnline.com.
“She just wanted to put herself in the spotlight,” the source said. Jon has been dating Hailey Glassman, 22, who said she had no knowledge of a romantic relationship between Jon and Major.
Major resigned suddenly on Thursday as the controversy over her alleged relationship with Jon grew. Her access to Jon seemed to put her into position to become the perfect Deep Throat for the magazine, on a story that has taken a reality TV family with mediocre ratings and turned them into one of the hottest subjects in the entertainment news world. Major did not say if she would continue working for Star in a freelance role.

It’s so shocking to think that a Star reporter would have a fishy relationship with the truth! I’m clutching my pearls and dropping my monocle as I type! What the hell was going through Kate Major’s mind? That she was going to be the new Kate Gosselin? That she was going to be famous, just like Jon Gosselin is famous? Here’s a tip for all future “girlfriends” of Jon Gosselin: he’s only famous in the way huge, industrial, environmentally-catastrophic accidents are famous. Jon Gosselin is like Chernobyl. You don’t want to date Chernobyl.
UPDATE: Argh. I hate these people. Now Radar has another interview up, this time with Michael Lohan. He’s talking about how Jon and Kate Major slept over at his house, but Lohan plays coy about whether they slept in the same room. Then Michael says this: “Let me ask you a question: If she was using him why did she resign from the Star?” After reading the full text of a Michael Lohan interview, I feel like I need to take a damn shower. As for whether Jon and Kate Major are really “dating” or “banging” or whether she’s “delusional”… I seriously have no idea.

OMFG, this is hilarious. They couldn’t write a script for a soap opera any better than this one.
Another web blog is reporting that Gosselin and Major are currently shacked up at Michael Lohan’s house in the Hamptons while Heidi whats-her-face is having conniptions and wailing “I still love Jon and Jon loves me”. Wouldn’t surprise me a bit. Gosselin looks like just the kind of douchebag who will stick it into whatever presents itself.
I called that one. She did it not to make herself famous bt to draw everybodys attention to the mag— and it WORKED….
Can you believe that Jon gets more press than Michael Jackson? (RIP) What talent does Jon have that makes him so mesmerizing to these woman? Maybe Jon has a “trade secret”!
Why on Earth would a 26 year old woman jeopardise her career by spewing such uninteresting shite to try and get 5 minutes of fame? I mean, c’mon. Gosselin was the best she could do?
When Jon & Kate’s problems hit the tabloids in April,I was on Jon’s side.A lot of men who just get out of a marriage have these “relationships” right off the bat.The difference between them and Jon?They aren’t putting it on display for the world to see.Jon doesn’t even try to hide this stuff.It’s like he’s proud of himself.
I never thought I would feel any sympathy for Kate. I viewed her as being this monster of a woman,but after seeing Jon’s behavior maybe she was like that for a reason.
Ugh- Jon & Kate are turning out worse than Heidi and Spencer. He needs to go away.
woops — no job and no john.
does she really think he’s going to stay with her? she just gave up a job in a bad economy for nothing.
what a dope.
She probably got a nice wad of money from Star for drumming up business….
I totally agree with the above, what a moron to resign her job for such a loser.
OK, these people’s 15 minutes are up. SIT DOWN SHUT UP.
I smell a sex tape coming…. and it smells almost as bad as Paris’
This is a sick and twisted situation. Michael Lohan is just the cherry on top of a what has to be the tackiest story ever. If Jon wasn’t dating this reporter, he would have issued a statement by now. It’s amazing how things change in a couple of months. I always hated Kate and thought that Jon was the good one. Now with his behavior, especially for the past few weeks, I really sympothize with Kate and especially the kids. What is he thinking? Especially dating a tabloid reporter.
He’s a scumbag. Why would anyone hate Kate? Someone had to run a tight ship in order to keep a family with 8 kids sane. Kate and the kids are better off without this loser!
What an idiot to give up your career for a man.
He most likely slept with her. He just didn’t expect her to blab. Now he’ll have to take crazy Hailey on another shopping spree to make up for it.
What a way to burn through that TLC money!
So I see a lot of women are finally jumping off the Jon train and realizing that Kate treated him like a child without restraint because he WAS and IS a child without restraint. He is not capable of living a disciplined adult life. He is a narcissistic baby whose only concern is that he get to relive his twenties. Glad some of you are finally seeing the light. Having said that, I must admit that even my support for Kate has waned. I’m hoping she sees the light, pulls the plug on the show for the benefit of her children and at the same time cuts off Jon’s source of financial support. Enough with these fools.
Boy this whole story is unbelievable and these relationships he’s starting up with both women and men are sleezy. Do I smell drugs in this scenerio? He has lost his way that is for sure and he will have done more damage to the children than Kate ever could have. Wake up Jon pack up and head back to Pa to be close to these beautiful children before it is too late.
Hey Jon Gosslin,
You need to stop, take a moment and think. Think about what your actions are doing to your children. STOP or you will regret these days for the rest of your life. Just stop and take a breath and think about what is really important to you . Remember your children. This is your time to act like their father and show them what type of man you are. The way you act in these days, will shape who your children become.
He always looks sweaty & annoyed. The 2 airheads “dating him” (gag) are too stupid to notice what public fools they’ve made of themselves!
This all has to be one big joke. TLC, you got us!
Michael Lohan is connected to all this?? I think I just blew a Funny Fuse.
None of Jon’s relationships or non-relationships will lessen my Kate-hate (Kate Gosselin).
Jon shouldn’t really be taking any of these transitional chicks seriously. Just date them, get it out of your system and move on. Do a “Clooney”. You will not find Clooney getting all distraught over his hussies, he just bangs and boot ’em to the corner and on to the next.
And of course STAR mag put her up to this. It was a trap to get a story. The girl will have a better job next week which was probably the “trade off” for them to get her to do this.
Keep dating Jon. He may be considered “Chernobyl” (lol) but famewhores LOVE Chernobyl because they are desperate for ANY kind of attention. Sad, but true.
