Rumors of an additional member-Jon’s former fling Deanna Hummel being featured on the TLC show “Jon & Kate plus 8” has been shot down by a TLC spokesperson.

The New York Daily News reports, “Deanna’s role isn’t expected to be big, but because she’s part of Jon’s life, she’ll be filmed,” an insider told the paper. The rep for the network informed Entertainment Tonight that there were no plans for such arrangements.

According to TLC president, Eileen O’Neill, the network will stop airing the show until Aug. 3 in light of the couple’s split so that viewers can adjust to the new circumstances. “It’s hard to walk away from a big number,” O’Neill said, referring to Monday’s record 10.6 million viewers. “Once we understood that they were going to make an announcement [regarding their split], we discussed various scenarios with them,” she said. “We really collaborated on what would make sense for the family.”

O’Neill doesn’t foresee the show being cancelled or postponed further than August. She is “very confident” in the August return date.

Regarding any changes on the show, TLC believes that the focus will remain on the parent-child relationship.

TLC’s Jon & Kate Plus 8 on Hiatus Until August

Admist the not so shocking news on last night’s episode revealing that Jon & Kate Gosselin are getting a divorce, comes news today that the show will be taking a break.

TLC announced today, that production has been halted on their hit show, Jon & Kate Plus 8. The reason being they do not have enough footage to put together new episodes because of the Gosselins’ marital turmoil. The decision is said to be solely that of TLC, and not of Jon & Kate.

It is also stated that next Monday’s episode will feature a clip package with some new footage, but the next all-new episode won’t air until August 3. The family, though divorcing, have no plans to quit the show. As Kate declared through tears on Monday’s episode, “the show must go on!”

Exclusive: Jon & Kate To Announce Divorce On Monday

We reported yesterday that Jon & Kate Gosselin were planning a big announcement on their upcoming Monday episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8. Well RadarOnline is now confirming the big announcement is that they are getting a divorce.

Radar says that Kate recently met with a divorce lawyer, and Jon will file divorce papers next week.

Another source reveals that the couple had previously agreed to separate by July 15. But that timetable has now been pushed forward. According to the source, they had been talking divorce for quite some time and the decision was recently finalized to announce it.

This news will as non shocking to those who have been following this show for a while. Jon was caught cheating with 23 year old teacher, Deanna Hummel. While Kate was also rumored to be having an affair with her bodyguard, Steve Neild.

The two had continuosly spent time apart, including their recent 10 year anniversary. They were photographed together on Wednesday with their kids, for the first time in a while.

Below is a photo of the family from Wednesday –

New Photo of Jon Gosselin With 23-Year-Old Girlfriend

Not certain as to whom Jon & Kate Gosselin might have pissed off at US Weekly, as the magazine continues to rag on them. The latest being the above new photo of Jon Gosselin with his alleged 23 year old girlfriend, Deanna Hummel.

According to US, the above photos were taken on March 28 at the Spring Gruv at The Canyons Ski Resort in Park City, Utah. Jon’s Utah visit was supposedly filmed for an episode of their show. The filming was to focus on how he helps handicapped kids (the vacations in Utah are among the freebies he receives from the show).

A witness who spotted Jon and Deanna claimed the two “were close and chatty” as they watched a pond skimming competition together. Deanna’s brother, Jason Hummel, confirmed last month that his sister did indeed have an affair with Jon.

Okay, so we now have some form of photographic “evidence” of this affair. Here’s to hoping we can now move on from this story.

Jon And Kate Continue To Spend Time Apart

The stars of TLC’s Jon and Kate Plus 8, Jon and Kate Gosselin continue to spend time apart as a couple.

TMZ obtained the following photo on the bottom left showing Jon with 2 women, drinking a bottle of beer. This photo seems to be in poor taste as a lot of cheating allegations have been leveled against him lately.

Could it be that Jon simply doesn’t care anymore? There are lots of rumors that their marriage is all but over. The photo of Jon was taken on Monday, the same day the new season of their show premiered to 10 million veiwers.

Kate was also photographed with the kids sans Jon, getting off a ferry on Bald Head Island, NC, Wednesday morning.

Kate Gosselin Not Sure She and Jon Will Be Together

Jon and Kate Plus 8’s latest season premiered last night in what seemed like one of the worst train wrecks to ever hit reality TV. The show was rather painful and quite awkward to watch. If it wasn’t obvious before that these two were headed towards the Big “D” word also known as a divorce, it is now from watching their show.

Kate continued to be her typical controlling self and made it a point to let we the viewers know that she was doing everything all by herself, six times to be exact. We also learned that Jon needed a weekend off (to visit his alleged girlfriend perhaps?) leading to Kate planning the kids’ birthday party all by herself.

The couple of nearly 10 years opened up about their marital problems. Jon denied his affair, despite confirmation of it by multiple sources, while Kate (who is also alleged to be having an affair with her bodyguard) admitted she was “angry” at Jon for the way he’s been acting.

Kate confirmed that she feared she and Jon might be separating saying, “I am thinking this possibly could be our last family picture together,” she says of a photo taken at the sextuplets’ 5th birthday party. “I don’t know…parents of multiples have, like, triple the divorce rate, and I was thinking we were gonna beat that. I don’t know if I can say that anymore. Very swiftly, we turned into two different people, and that’s just hard. I’ve tried for six months to figure out what the problem is, or remedy the problem. It’s so complicated.”

Kate tried to play the role of the victim/scorned woman, failing miserably because she continued to come of as bitchy controlling. Perhaps she should stop ordering her husband around, or maybe she should try treating him as an adult sometimes instead of her 9th kid.

Overall, this is all very sad, mainly because there are 8 kids involved in this mess created by the adults. While one can only hope they can find a way to make it work, it seemed very apparent from last night’s episode that they have both thrown in the towel.

Kate Gosselin Admits “Marriage Is Falling Apart”

Following all the rumors and controversy surrounding the Gosselin family, Kate Gosselin is finally admitting to “everything’s falling apart” in her marriage. Hopefully, the season 5 premier of Jon and Kate plus 8 tonight on TLC will shed more light on the truth. Kate says, “I feel like the world is sitting on my shoulders.” Several tabloids and blogs have painted Kate as a being a monster even though pictures have shown her husband cheating with a younger woman.

Both Jon and Kate, who have been married for about 10 years now speak to the camera separately on the show. In previous shows, they have always given their testimonials as a couple. Kate has vowed not to give up.

UsWeekly has reported that Jon Gosselin now lives in an apartment above the garage of their $1.1 million home. Short-tempered Kate has reportedly fired 40 staffers in three months. She is also accused of being in an affair with her bodyguard.

The premier clip which carried the tagline, “There are two sides to every story,” urges fans to watch the fifth season premiere to see Jon and Kate face each other for the first time.

Tell us what you think following the show tonight.

Do Jon & Kate Have An Open Marriage?

The drama is never ending with Jon and Kate Gosselin, the latest being a rather wild accusation by Kate’s brother and sister-in-law Kevin and Jodi Kreider stating that the two have an open marriage.

Kevin and Jodi gave an exclusive paid interview to RadarOnline where they leveled a few accusations against Kate. The main one being that Kate gave husband Jon a contract saying he could date other women as long as he showed up for filming of their hit reality show, Jon And Kate Plus Eight.

Jodi claims Jon was taken aback by Kate’s bluntness in terminating their relationship. Kevin goes on to add, “Jon has told him he can have girlfriends, do his own thing and has the freedom to do what he wants [on] certain days — so long as he fulfills his professional obligations in regards to the show.”

This actually makes sense and might explain why they both have recently been accused of stepping out of their marriage. Jon is accused of cheating with a 23 year old teacher, while Kate is alleged to be having an affair with her bodyguard.

Jon Gosselin: ‘I Did Not Cheat on Kate’ Plus Kate Speaks Out

Despite US Magazine confirming that Jon Gosselin cheated on his wife Kate by having a 3 month affair with grade school teacher, Deanna Hummel, Jon has come out denying all cheating allegations.

Jon released a statement to People saying, “These allegations are false and just plain hurtful. As I adjust to the attention that comes from being in the public eye, I need to be more careful and aware of who I am associating with and where I am spending my time. But the bottom line is, I did not cheat on Kate. I am sorry for putting my family in this awkward position, given some poor decisions and bad judgments I’ve made recently.”

The “other” woman involved in this scandal, Deanna Hummel, also denies the allegations leveled against her by her own brother who claims she had an affair with Jon. Deanna said, “My brother is making this all up,” she says. “I can’t even stomach the lies he’s saying about me.”

Kate opened up for the first time on the Rachael Ray Show’s taping yesterday about how she’s dealing with this entire scandal, “It’s one of those things that we’re just handling privately. We’re just taking it one step at a time and I’m trying to walk through it.” The episode will air on Tuesday.

Kate also admitted to Entertainment Weekly that Jon’s behavior has caused some problems for the couple, “Jon’s poor judgment and irresponsible behavior has also without a doubt caused some added tension and stress between the two of us.”

Deanna’s brother, Jason Hummell, continues to stand by his story saying he has no reason to lie. Jason states, “I noticed that in both her and Jon’s recent comments, that neither of them addresses the fact that he was sleeping over at our house and was videotaped leaving our house at 7:30 in the morning.”

US Magazine Confirms Jon Gosselin’s Three-Month Affair

In not so shocking news, US Weekly is now confirming that Jon & Kate Plus 8 dad Jon Gosselin did indeed cheat on his wife Kate, with the same 23 year old he was photographed with last week.

The 23 year old is third grade school teacher Deanna Hummel. Deanna came out recently denying all allegation affairs but her brother and roomate tells US a very different story. Jason Hummel says Jon as always at their home locked up in a room with his sister, and even claims to have heard them having sex on several occasions. Wonder how much money this guy received to sell out his own sister?

He states, “A lot of the time, it was pretty, um, gross listening to her, you know, um — how do I say this? The walls are thin. Let’s just say that. I mean, no one wants to hear his sister having sex, let alone with a married dude who’s, like, almost twice her age and who has eight kids and a maybe-crazy wife. Ick. Nast.”

Jason claims he is coming forward with this story to help “protect his naive sister,” right Jason. US also claims to have gotten confirmation from other relatives that Jon cheated on Kate. While Kate is a major pain to Jon most of the time on the show, it is doesn’t give him permission to have an affair. You either try to make it work, or go your separate ways. Kate has yet to comment on any of these cheating stories.
