Women Linked to Gosselin Go at Each Other

(CBS)  Ratings for the reality show "Jon & Kate Plus 8" have been on the decline since they announced they're divorcing.

Jon Gosselin's been seen around the world with a number of different women, sparking speculation about who his new love interest really is.

And, observes CBS News Correspondent Michelle Gielan, the women thought to be in his life now have been putting themselves in the spotlight.

This week, both of his supposed girlfriends hit the entertainment news circuit, staking their claims to their role as Jon's new girl.

"I love Jon. I'm not some fame whore," 22-year-old Hailey Glassman told the E! network's Giuliana Rancic.

Glassman insisted she's been completely misunderstood.

Asked what she thinks when people accuse her of being a home wrecker, Glassman replied, "One part of me says, 'Obviously, I'm not. It's ridiculous.' But another part says, 'But, from what the public sees, since TLC (the network of "Jon & Kate Plus 8") didn't allow them to come out and say their marriage was done a year ago ... (it might be understandable why some people would, incorrectly, think that). ' "

"Like the rest of the country," says Rancic, "I, too, had just seen all these pictures of Hailey Glassman as a wild party girl. I had heard rumors of Hailey being a home wrecker. But, I gotta say, that's what I thought I was gonna meet when I saw her. But she was the opposite of that."

"There's so many lies and just ridiculous stories circulating," Glassman contends.

But a few days later, Jon's other possible girlfriend, Kate Major, told "Inside Edition" about how she felt after being called a liar when she went public about the relationship she says she's had with Gosselin.



Major is slated to sit down for an interview on "The Early Show" Friday.



When told Gosselin is saying she's lying, Major responded, "Well, he's lying! I wouldn't sit here on national television and make something up like this."

"How soon after meeting her did you have sex with Jon Gosselin?"

"It was within the next few days, unfortunately."

Despite Major's insistence about the affair, Glassman says she's still doubtful.

"You think she was making up that whole story that she was romantic with Jon?" Rancic asked.

"I know what Jon tells me and I know him," Glassman answered. "You know -- she's cuckoo, cuckoo!"

All in all, Gielan points out, girl problems haven't done much for Gosselin's family life or career.

Last week, police were called to the Gosselins' Pennsylvania home after Kate reportedly disapproved of Jon's choice of babysitters: 23-year-old cocktail waitress Stephanie Santoro

"She tried to come home ... and I wouldn't let her in the gate," Jon admitted to reporters. "And I guess she called the police, and the police came."

Jon Gosselin, says Gielan, could be in trouble with TLC. Although TLC hasn't had any comment on Jon's personal life," celebrity Web site TMZ.com reports Jon could be in violation of the morals clause of his contract -- a breach that could end up costing him plenty.

Child welfare advocate and attorney Gloria Allred says she "would be concerned about the long-term impact of this on the children, particularly because the parents are going through a divorce."

Still, TMZ also says Jon is talking to producers about a new show centered around divorced celebrities, to be called "Divorced Dads Club." The big question, Gielan notes, is whether Jon can embark on a new reality show before fulfilling his prior commitment to TLC.

Seems pretty clear that Jon needs to dump his anger: http://www.jonandkateprayers.com/2009/08/dump-your-anger-jon.html

Kate has taken a lot of heat for her snippin and belittling Jon for a while now. I Jon's girlfriend says the marriage was over a year ago and TLC held them hostage to a contract NO wonder she was short with him. If what the girlfriend says is true, then she treated him better than he deserved. Here he was with the motorcycle, sports car and girlfriend and she had 8 kids and contracts to honor for clothes and stuff for the kids, and she is called a shrew. She wrote a book, went out to sell it, yes, but MAYBE she knew that with Jon not working, but spending money she might need to support the family. Could be she wasn't too keen on his having his bachelor romp at her expense. Especially if TLC and the other companies end the contracts. The house still needs heat, and taxes etc. And Jon has shown his true colors, with his trips to ritzy places with girls, and spending the family money to do it.

I think Jon, Hailey, and Michelle are in it for publicity. First of all, look at Jon why in the world would anyone fight over this dude. He is not the greatest looking guy! I think they all want attention for MONEY!!! Well, I heard he's looking for his own place so I'm pretty sure he needs the money. I think that he should take a vacation from the public eye and start thinking about his kids. He should start being a good role model to his kids and to all the deadbeat dads out there. I think Kate should get full custody of the kids.

WHO'S GOT TIME FOR THESE PEOPLE !

I don't watch the show anymore, and find a good book far more interesting. But I blog a bit and find this couple is still on the air to my amazement! I've read about some of the goings on with them, and really think its time to pull the plug on the whole J&K thing !

All these girls are just a cover--it is obvious that Jon is gay, his lipstick is even way pinker and brighter than Kate's --the girls are really just a front while secretly, Jon craves man meat.

Kate Major is a personal friend of our family and I can assure you she is a bright and honest journalist. Unfortunately she made a mistake in character judgement re Jon and is now paying a terrible price. We have all made mistakes in our lives involving the opposite sex and she now deserves some peace and time to focus on restarting her career.

Okay, I'd buy that.... if she wasn't going to be on the Early Show!!!!!!!! Peace on her terms? Only questions or comments as approved by Ms. Major? They are all creepy.
