Jon Gosselin Pulls Gun on Photographer, Fires Warning Shot

Jon Gosselin pulled a gun on a photographer who followed him home in Pennsylvania on Friday and even fired a warning shot – by his own admission. The crazy incident happened in Beckersville, Pa., when a photographer followed him from his job waiting tables to the log cabin where Jon lives . The paparazzo admits that she followed Jon off the main roads and onto dirt roads, but assumed it was still a public road and not private property. Not the case. According to TMZ, she started taking photos of Jon Gosselin and he came at her, pulled a gun out of the back of his pants and yelled at her for trespassing. He then fired off a warning shot. The photographer peaced out immediately after that, but says Jon followed her until she got back on the main road. He declined to give chase further. She went to the police station to file a report, but ultimately did not do so as she likely would have ended up charged with criminal trespass as a result. Jon Gosselin later said he has no apology for firing the warning shot, saying he was within his legal rights to defend his private property from trespassers. “I am licensed to carry a concealed handgun, which I withdrew,” Jon says. He admits he used it “to fire a warning shot AWAY from the paparazzi. It is well within my rights under Pennsylvania law when someone is trespassing on private property.” Gosselin says he is certain police would back him up and would take his side on the issues of trespassing and a person’s right to protect their property. Nevertheless … Jon Gosselin is strapped. This is both surprising and a little scary. Definitely did the job, though, as far as making his point in this case.

Ed Hardy: Jon Gosselin Killed My Brand!

Jon Gosselin’s association with Ed Hardy shirts personally torpedoed the entire once-popular brand, says none other than Ed Hardy himself. Call it the Midas touch, only the exact opposite. Shortly after splitting from Kate Gosselin in 2009, Jon became friends with Christian Audigier, who licensed Hardy’s art for shirts and other products. Audigier even entertained Jon and then-girlfriend Hailey Glassman in St. Tropez on his yacht … and that’s when it all started to go downhill for Hardy. Jon Gosselin was repeatedly spotted wearing Ed Hardy clothes, and that association was beyond toxic for the brand, Hardy told the New York Post . “That Jon Gosselin thing was the nail in the coffin,” Hardy said . “That’s what tanked it. Macy’s used to have a huge window display with Ed Hardy, and it filtered down and that’s why Macy’s dropped the brand.” Jon, a fan of the Ed Hardy brand who loved the stuff long before he was famous (or infamous), was even in talks for his own fashion line with Audigier. There was even talk of Jon or Hailey scoring their own fashion line! Jon’s repulsive powers were formidable, but Hardy, 68, puts equal if not more of the blame on Audigier, a “celebrity-obsessed” French businessman. “Christian worships celebrities so much, he will get next to anyone … if he could’ve gotten Charles Manson in a shirt, he would have,” Hardy said. The whole Jon-killed-my-entire-brand allegation is one of many interesting highlights of Ed Hardy’s new memoir, Wear your Dreams: My Life in Tattoos .

Jon Gosselin: Spreading Lies About Kate For Profit?

As the battle over Kate Gosselin and her online detractors rages on, Jon Gosselin is back in the middle of it and being accused of plotting to defame his ex. Anti-bullying activist James McGiney, says he can prove Jon and anti-Kate author Robert Hoffman joined forces in a scheme to lie about Kate for profit. McGinley, who owns Bullyville , recently announced a crusade (and lawsuit) against people he says have crossed the line in attacking the mother of eight. That has not deterred Hoffman, Kate’s most ardent critic. His once-banned e-book about her is on the verge of being put back on the Internet, and in response McGibney says he will expose Hoffman’s “lies” and “deceit.” Including working with Jon to take down Kate. McGibney has set up hoffmanbook.com and @hoffmanbook, promising he will release proof of a money trail fueling the anti-Kate Gosselin material. “I’m going after Jon, a lawyer involved in this and Hoffman,” McGibney told Radar regarding Hoffman’s self-published Kate Gosselin: How She Fooled The World . The book was briefly for sale on Amazon last year but was removed by the e-retailer after two days when lawyers for Kate demanded it be taken down. Around the same time, rumors surfaced that Jon Gosselin gave Hoffman access to Kate’s computer hard drives, filled with contracts, journals and other info. Hoffman claimed he pulled all of that out of her trash. If he’s intimidated by Bullyville’s efforts – the site recently outed her stalkers on Twitter – he’s not showing it. In fact, he seems to be loving the attention. “Thank you to bullyville.com for putting the national spotlight back on a story that had been swept under the rug and had been long forgotten,” he writes. But McGibney signaled his own charge into the battle with this tweet: @BullyVille: Coming Soon! Hoffman Book ~theft, lies and the money trail.” Game on.

Jon Gosselin and Ellen Ross: It’s Over!

Jon Gosselin and Ellen Ross have split up after nearly two years together. It’s unclear exactly why the ex-husband of Kate Gosselin split with his lady friend, but reports say Ellen’s distaste for the media was the final straw. “Ellen didn’t like the media attention and other things that came with the relationship,” a source said. “That’s one of the main reasons they broke up.” Wait … we still pay attention to Jon Gosselin ? Besides right now? Who knew! According to an insider, the twosome broke up more than a week ago, but it wasn’t until Friday that Jon Gosselin confirmed the breakup on Twitter: “Recently, after much thought and discussion, Ellen and I have decided to end our relationship. It was a mutual decision and we are both happy.” “We will remain best friends. We both plan to move forward and focus on our separate lives. We ask that you please respect our privacy at this time.” So far, no word from Ellen Ross personally, except a denial earlier this week that was debunked when Jon spilled the beans on Twitter. Whoops.

Kate Gosselin Accused of Stiffing Marriage Counselor

Jon Gosselin basically felt his marriage to Kate was a giant mind f–k. Now the duo’s former marriage counselors say she’s screwing with them as well. Creative Energy Options of Pennsylvania claims she never forked over more than $10,000 she owes for services in 2009. Talk about commitment issues! Right? Hello, is this thing on? Anyone out there? Did Kate stiff Jon AND people who tried to help her work it with Jon? A company called filed a lawsuit against Kate, claiming back in 2009, she requested one of their marriage counselors to “fly to Los Angeles, Ca., to perform marriage counseling, then refused to pay for services or travel fees.” Dr. Sylvia Lafair, the president of C.E.O., says she’s reached out to Kate several times in hopes of receiving their payment but she never produced a check. “There are commitments that people make,” she says, “and they should be followed through.” Well, ideally yes, but you know how these things work out … [Photo Credits: WENN.com]

Kate Gosselin: Still Pining For Jon?!

They fought and fought. They split and traded barbs in the press. He paraded around with a bunch of mediocre girls, then faded into relative obscurity. After all that, Kate Gosselin misses her ex, Jon. The demise of Jon and Kate’s volatile and fertile marriage was one of the more epic celebrity splits of recent years … but is there still a glimmer of hope? Jon may not care. He’s happily out of the limelight, working a 9/5 construction job and supposedly so in love with girlfriend Ellen Ross. But Kate still misses her ex. OK Magazine says as much , so it must be true, right? “Friends” say she’s lost without him, professionally and personally, struggling with her mass motherhood situation and a show floundering sans Jon Gosselin . “He was her whipping boy,” says a pal, “but also her best friend. Yes, things were very toxic between them, but there was at least some sort of camaraderie.” Maybe so. It was the kids – but also the Jon and Kate Gosselin fighting over the kids, chores, infidelities, you name it – that made Jon & Kate Plus 8 so fun. Team Kate saw Jon as a jackass. Team Jon saw Kate as a grating banshee. Team Neither wished they’d both go away but ate up the gossip just the same. Kate Plus 8 (Minus Jon) has posted disappointing numbers. The show debuted with 3.4 million viewers, which promptly declined by more than 50 percent. With a new season premiering this Sunday, April 4, the pressure’s really on. “His departure made the show less interesting to people and left a very real hole in her life,” adds the insider, noting that she misses him personally, too. “She pretends to be made of steel, but underneath, she is very sensitive.”

Michael Jackson Estate: Raking in the Cash!

Michael Jackson has been dead for a year and a half, but has been raking in the cash since. We’re talking hundreds of millions of dollars since June 2009. According to legal documents, MJ had over $400 million in various debts when he passed, but his executors have been working furiously to retire them. The singer’s estate has made $310 million in the last 18 months, $159 million of which has already been used to pay debts, taxes and other expenses. Running the King of Pop’s life, even in death, is a formidable task. In addition to creditors, the estate provides “uninterrupted support for Mrs. [Katherine] Jackson and Michael Jackson’s children as Michael intended.” In addition to $400 million in debt,MJ’s estate had $40 million in liabilities to AEG stemming from the “This Is It” tour, which he was readying for. Obviously, he never made it on tour after his scared, sedated final days . It’s unclear where Jackson stands with AEG now financially, but MJ’s executors admit that the estate still faces several lawsuits in multiple countries. The documents show the estate received more than 65 creditor’s claims against him, with some of debt accruing interest at “extremely high” rates. John Branca and John McClain, Michael’s former attorney and manager, have done a remarkable job given the task they were assigned, however. The executors also claim they have “successfully rebuilt and enhanced Michael Jackson’s image” since they’ve been empowered to run the estate. With the singer more popular than ever and raking in money at a crazy clip, that statement is undeniably true. Hopefully it continues, as well.
