JON GOSSELIN IS APOLOGIZING FOR BEING A MORON:
Friday October 30th, 2009
One reason why this "Jon and Kate Plus Eight" nonsense is such a train wreck is because both JON and KATE GOSSELIN seem to be self-obsessed knuckleheads. Especially Jon. Well, now he's apologizing for being such a moron.
So what initiated Jon's epiphany? It was the rumors that he was going to do a reality show with THE OCTOMOM . . . where they DATE EACH OTHER.
Jon tells E! Online, "I am troubled to learn that the media has accepted as true the scurrilous rumor that I would appear in a reality television program with NADYA SULEMAN. This is utterly false.
"I do however accept that some of my previous actions have in some way lent credence to such outrageous stories. I am well aware that my behavior over the past few months has not always reflected my personal and religious values."
He adds, "I further accept that I have allowed myself to become somewhat severed from my own moral anchor and be carried away by the challenges of fame.
"It is for this reason that I have endeavored of late to reconnect with my deeper, more spiritual, more altruistic self with regular study sessions and counseling."
So who is Jon going to see to help him deal with "the challenges of fame"???
He's hitting up Rabbi Shmuley Boteach . . . a celebrity rabbi who's a frequent "Oprah" guest, and who recently wrote an arguably exploitative book revealing his private conversations with MICHAEL JACKSON.
Jon says that Rabbi Shmuley provides, "morality-centered-and-values-based advice" . . . and he hopes his guidance will help him become, "[an] inspiration and moral compass" for his children. And he IS being real with us, people.
He says, "These steps are absolutely sincere . . . but I know that ultimately I will be judged not by my words but my actions.
"It is my sincere desire to use the fame I have so unexpectedly acquired to highlight mature, responsible behavior as well as the joys of fatherhood and family. I ask the public to please understand the challenges I face in living under constant public scrutiny, even as I am aware that I have at times courted that scrutiny.
"I am committed to making things right with Kate and especially my children. I ask you to please give me the opportunity to prove myself."
