Long live the Gosselin famewhore machine that just won’t stop churning out arguments! With Kate Gosselin re-ramping up her Kate Plus 8 reality career, Jon Gosselin is now demanding a piece of the pie. Can’t anyone just think about the children?

Kate was initially forced to stop selling the kids out on TV (even though they LOVE it), after Jon blocked her, but when Jon couldn’t pay child support he made a deal with the devil: he could avoid payments IF the sweet poor spawn of satan and her hair maiden could resume their duties as little reality moneymaking machines. Times are hard when you’ve got a mansion and $2,000 highlights to upkeep – especially when couponing and real jobs are so beneath Kate, and no one wanted to see mama date a married bodyguard. Meanwhile Jon was too busy bolstering his own reality TV and playing around with Little Jon on camera.

In the latest installment of Jon & Kate Plus Hate, Jon is now angling for a fat TLC paycheck once again. Kate’s first TLC special aired a few months ago, and Jon was not a part of it. But since he is part of the kids, he feels he’s owed at least some of the money everyone is earning. “Jon’s trying to get a percentage of Kate’s TLC salary for the new Kate Plus 8 specials,” a source reveals.

Kate is claiming she needs the shows to support her kids – especially without Jon’s financial help. But Jon is striking a hard bargain and resorting to what sounds like blackmail! “He has no stable job, no steady income, and now he’s trying to tell Kate that if she doesn’t give him a cut of the money, he will claim the kids hate filming and they are being forced to do it.” Well, it does seem like the kids hate filming: especially Cara and Mady

However a source states that Kate is absolutely not afraid of Jon’s threats. “He’s all bark and no bite,” the source tells In Touch Weekly. “Kate has absolutely no intentions whatsoever of giving him any money. He doesn’t have any rights to it anyways.”

Jon claimed he was filing for primary custody of the twins last year in order to keep them off TV, but his own TV career seemed to take precedence over that! The source says that threat was also complete nonsense. “He isn’t going to court to fight for custody of the kids. He just uses that tactic to victimize himself so the public will feel bad for him.”

Oh man – it’s not even really fun to snark Kate and Jon anymore. I just feel so terrible for those poor kids. Literally NO ONE seems to be looking out for their best interests. Kate will seemingly do anything to keep them on TV because that’s what she wants and Jon mainly acts like the don’t exist except for when he wants some publicity. I certainly hope the powers-that-be are putting away money in savings for these kids so they can flee the coop at their 18th birthday – or better yet, emancipate themselves!
