Christian Audigier still using Jon Gosselin for publicity

I seriously have no idea what the hell is wrong with Christian Audigier. His clothes are absolutely hideous. All sorts of violent thoughts invade my head whenever I see someone wearing that trash. Which is also a good word to describe Audigier. The ridiculous Ed Hardy designer gloms on to anyone who’s having their 15 minutes. Which also really cheapens him – not that the guy was anything else. But it’s hard not to ask why a (confusingly) successful designer is running after every reality star wannabe. He’s back to BFF-ing Jon Gosselin, in a move I still find more mind boggling than Gosselin’s association with Michael Lohan. So naturally Audigier is talking all about Jon and Kate and revealing that Jon’s going to design something motorcycle-based for him, since “he’s a biker.”

Christian Audigier first saw Jon Gosselin while flipping through the channels and stopping on Jon & Kate Plus 8 – a much simpler time for the reality TV dad, he says.

“I was watching Jon and Kate and then I was seeing him on the cover of magazines with my shirt and asking for a job,” the Ed Hardy designer says, adding he soon flew Gosselin out to Saint-Tropez to join him on vacation. “I met the guy for two days to see what he wanted to do as a job. In the beginning it was Jon and Kate, and then the guy came with another girl. He told me, ‘I’m going to come with my stylist. I need two tickets for the plane.’ So I said, ‘no problem.’ ”

Though Audigier says Gosselin and current girlfriend Hailey Glassman were not officially an item when he showed up with her in Saint-Tropez, “by the time two weeks passed it was a completely new story,” he says.

Just where is Gosselin in his life now? “He is not the same as he was,” says Audigier. “He has a more complicated life now. He has all of those kids and a girlfriend and ex-wife.”

Next, the pals plan to meet up in Las Vegas at the end of August for the annual Magic fashion show. As far as their joint venture, the designer says nothing is set in stone. But one thing is for sure, “Jon wants to do something involving bikes,” says Audigier. “He’s a biker.”

Just a few days ago Audigier was trying to ride the coattails of Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart’s naked video companion Kari Ann Peniche. As TMZ points out, it’s sort of ironic that someone who became “famous” for being naked is now going to be designing bathing suits, according to Audigier. But he seems to have figured out her celebrity isn’t going to last, let alone get bigger. The story never took off and just isn’t all that intriguing. Which must be why Audigier already back to talking about Jon Gosselin.

And it’s not like this is a new move for him – Audigier also gave George Clooney’s ex-girlfriend Sarah Larson a modeling job right after George dumped her. Trust me; it wasn’t out of the kindness of his heart. George and Sarah were getting a ton of press at the time. Larson probably thought she had arrived and would actually have a modeling career. Instead she’s pretty much just getting paid to show up to events as “that lady that once dated George Clooney.” Impressive.

Not that I’d ever wish good on Jon Gosselin, but if I were to be a kinder person, I’d tell him to look out. I see two shirts with an image of a motorcycle being driven by a skeleton with a rose tattoo on its humerus, and that’s about it. Might want to BFF Michael Lohan. Quick, while he’s still available

  4. Zoe (The Other One) says:

    I literally have no idea who any of these people are but the entire article was made worthwhile by the inclusion of the words ‘gloms on’.

    I’m having that JayBird and will likely pass it off as my own, haven’t heard that said in years.

  5. Manda says:

    I have never seen an Ed Hardy shirt without a douchebag underneath it.

    Jon Gosselin is a tool.

  6. Beth says:

    Sarah Larson gets paid for appearrances? The only time I hear about her is when people make fun of her for being a failed golddigger when others suceed(Jude Law’s baby mama).
