The list of the people who hate Jon Gosselin continues to grow daily.  Hailey Glassman is now coming out saying that Jon stole her rent money.

RadarOnline spotted Hailey moving out of the New York apartment she shared with Jon on Wednesday.  Hailey is now claiming she had to move because Jon had been pocketing the rent money she had been giving him, all while not paying the rent.

Hailey took to her twitter page on Friday to spill some details regarding the troubled Jon & Kate Plus 8 dad. She tweeted:

“FYI That apartment everyone calls ‘Jon’s Apartment’ was MY apartment as well. We split rent! He’s been living off my family and I.”

“So get your facts right before you all assume. My family and I found out a week ago he’s been pocketing our rent money ‘n not paying the rent!”

This story is in addition to a National Enquirer story that alleges Jon owes Hailey the amount of $90,000.

Merry Christmas Readers! & A Special Happy Holidays To You All! Hope you enjoy the story below!

Real Housewife of New York City star, Bethenny Frankel’s PETA ad campaign seems to be causing a lot of controversy among other housewives. Bethenny’s naked pose (“I’d rather go nude than wear fur!”) is on a Times Square billboard for all to see, according to NYpost.

After Bethenny blasted housewife costar Jill Zarin for wearing fur, Jill responded by tweeting, “I wouldn’t throw stones at glass houses, my love.” Sources believe Jill could be referring to Bethenny’s new cookbook that’s full of chicken recipes. A source wondered, “How can someone who encourages people to buy and eat chicken be a pioneer against animal cruelty?”

However, PETA’s Michael McGraw came to Bethenny’s rescue and has said: “Bethenny is not a vegan and never claimed to be. She has, however, brought much-needed attention to PETA’s anti-fur campaign.” Another housewife that has beef with Bethenny is Real Housewife of New Jersey, Teresa Guidice. After Bethenny’s informed us she was pregnant when the ad was shot and claims there was little airbrushing, Teresa responded by saying, “Someone tell Bethenny that sperm does not make you look fat. I’m not buying the airbrushing thing in any case.”

In other housewife news, Kelly Bensimon is also getting in on the fur discussion. She asked on Twitter why she shouldn’t wear fur and she wants the cold, hard facts. “Fur really gets u guys fired up. Let’s talk facts, not emotion. Tell me factually why peeps shouldn’t wear fur. I want to know, facts only.”

New Jersey lawmakers are the latest group to get on the anti Jersey Shore bandwagon.

The AP is reporting that the the New Jersey Italian American Legislative Caucus, sent a letter to the president of Viacom, MTV’s parent company on Tuesday. Caucus chairman Joseph Vitale is asking that the show be immediately taken off the air.

The group believes the show promotes derogatory ethnic stereotypes and is “wildly offensive.” The NJ lawmakers are also asking advertisers to boycott the show. As of Wednesday, MTV has yet to issue a response.

In other news, we reported previously that Italian actress Alyssa Milano was not a big fan on the show. In the hilarious Funny or Die clip below, the actress can be seeing portraying castmember Nicole aka Snooki, in a parody of the popular Dove beauty commercial. The clip is below -



Jersey Shore cast members Mike The Situation, Snooki, and DJ Paulie Dialogue also get in on the fun in their own parody video.

Frank Curtin, husband of Lynne Curtin of the Real Housewives of Orange County, has a perfectly good reason for skipping out on his mandatory court date in an Orange County courthouse Tuesday for a $1.2 million judgment they were ordered to pay to a former business partner.. He sort of forgot.

In a new interview with RadarOnline, Frank attempts to explain what happened. “I just sort of forgot to go because of the Christmas season,”said Frank who is planning to set a new appointment on Wednesday.

And though a bench warrant (a form of arrest warrant) was issued for the couple on Tuesday, don’t expect to see them in handcuffs anytime soon. “A bench warrant was issued on December 21st,” a court source tells Radar. “But it’s on hold until January 27th. As long as they show up at court by that date there will be no live warrant for them. If they don’t show by then then the warrant will be active and they will be arrested.”

Frank does acknowledge that this has been a very tough year for him, “My business all went south and I have been trying to work my way out of it. In the last 4 years I have lost everything, and I went through some really hard times.” He continues, “This has been the worst year of my life.”

Frank goes on to defend Lynne, saying the lawsuit had nothing to do with her, and she should have never been named in the lawsuit. “I don’t want her to get hurt,” Frank said about Lynne, “I feel bad for her.”

Gosselin Kate

Kate Gosselin might be one step closer to having to work a regular 9 – 5, as RadarOnline is reporting she has been axed from a new TV show that she shot a pilot for because the executives thought she was too controversial.

Kate shot the pilot for the show back in September. She was to be one of the several hosts for the Momlogic TV pilot. She joined Food Network star Paula Deen, Lee Woodruff and former Early Show co-host Rene Syler. The show, which has been described as The View for working moms (umm isn’t The View for working moms as well?), is said to be on life support and will likely be canceled all together.

It is however still on schedule to be sold at the convention where TV shows are pitched, but an insider said there is little chance it will make it.  A source close to the situation told Radar that the high-level executives believed Kate was too controversial for the show and didn’t think she was ready for a full-time hosting job, even as part of a panel.

This unfortunately does not mark the end of Kate on television. As we reported earlier, TLC is developing a show for her, that should debut sometime in the spring. The concept of the show has yet to be made public, but TLC is reportedly very committed to the new show.
