Jon Gosselin Poised to Date The Octomom? You Gotta Be Kiddin' Me!


This is one of those celebrity (if you want to call these two that) stories that's so over the top, it actually cracks this side of the blog. Anyway, that's the new report from In Touch Weekly (see KC Star link below). Apparently Jon & The Octomom would date as a part of a new reality series (what else?), with the show's pilot episode called, "Jon - Kate = Jon + Octomom" (no, this is not April 1).

But alas, a potential fly in the ointment: Jon is reportedly a bit "creeped out" about dating The Octomom -- not by The Octomom herself, mind you -- but rather by the possibility that if they hit it off and decide to tie the knot, he would suddenly have 22 kids. Well, yeah, I can see where that might be a bit off-putting to some dudes. But it would make for some wonderful holiday gatherings. For example, they could start a tradition of an annual Thanksgiving football game between the kids since they'd have enough to field two complete teams. Jon & The Octomom could coach one team, and Kate Gosselin the other. Stick it on TLC, bring in a professional broadcast team, hire a few celebrity refs -- and instant ratings, baby! (And BTW, Kids: Never smoke cigarettes.)
