Jon Gosselin Claims He’s Started A Foundation

Jon GosselinJon Gosselin is on Twitter, y’all, and as his first order of business, he reminded everybody that he’s living it up in Vegas. But as his second order of business, he announced that he has started his own charity:

Hey everyone, today marks the official start of the Jon Gosselin Children’s Foundation- very excited to start this chapter of my life
about 22 hours ago from TwitterBerry

Which I totally read as the Jon Gosselin’s Children Foundation, a.k.a. his alimony/child support fund.

But seriously, I may not be that far off. The No. 1 Google hit for “Jon Gosselin Children’s Foundation”? Jon’s Twitter page. He should probably let the IRS in on his idea, preferably before he starts collecting donations.

I’m thinking this might be like the lemonade stand he manned in August, which raised money for the fire department and promoted Jon & Kate Plus 8 at the same time. How brilliant was that move? And all it took was some posterboard and some powdered juice drink!

Or like how he called Us Weekly the minute he got home from visiting some sick kids in the hospital. He is totally a philanthropist now!

Philosophical question of the day: Is it altruism if you alert the media every time you do something not-douchey?

    Lol, I really thought you guys photoshopped his shirt to say that.

    You know, I so totally do not endorse violence. That said, when Jon Gosselin is found facedown in dog poo with about 38 machetes in his back, it’s gonna be easier, logistically speaking, to narrow down the list of those who DIDN’T want him done in. I’m just sayin’.

    Why does one of his tweets -God that phrase is so stupid – ask you to watch the show and tell him how much you like his red dress? Did I miss something? Should I be watching this? Didn’t they canceled that show? Why so many question marks?

    I have to admit the phrase on the shirt matches his story pretty well

  6. 6 jenn Sep 1st, 2009 at 7:29 pm

    Why do we pay any attention to this guy?

  7. 7 Pearce Sep 1st, 2009 at 8:18 pm

    I almost want to follow him, but I’m afraid I’ll give in to my desire to use him for machete practice. I mean, um, Beige did it.

  8. 8 Pastafarian Sep 1st, 2009 at 8:49 pm

    It’s funny because every picture I see him in it looks like he thinks he’s such a stud.

  9. 9 quigonkick Sep 1st, 2009 at 9:18 pm

    Let’s set him up on a date with Chris Brown. They deserve each other.

    Man, this reminds me of that Real Housewives Of Atlanta ep where a couple of the women were competing to see who had the best “foundation” started, and then they held silly foundation auctions where no one bought anything. Starting foundations must be the new hobby of the nouveau riche.

    They should rather follow the Bible that says when you give, give in secret, and not announcing and applauding yourself like the Pharisees.

    Freak Show: Touché. (Douché?)

    Holly:

    Good catch about his so-called Foundation. I bet he’s starting it to give himself a job. He’ll go around and do charity events and claim that the money is going into the Foundation. It is a murky title. He claims that he has found all this concern for children who are ill. Probably, he’ll claim that he is going to raise money for sick kids.
    Give us a BREAK, JON. There are hundreds of charitable organizations already competing for donations to serve the needy. Just go get a 9 – 5 job. Perhaps you can be a barmaid at the MGM.

    Pure IDIOT!

    Oh this good! One of our favourite(?) douche bags is going to get even douchier.

    “Spencer Pratt has been called a lot of things in his day, but now he’s choosing his own title – King. Spencer is in the process of legally changing his name to “King Spencer Pratt,” Access Hollywood can exclusively reveal.”

    okay, so if he is not worth all this money (that should be going to his kids) would anyone really pay attention to him? He is not that good looking and he is a wimp.

  15. 15 Aleric Sep 2nd, 2009 at 9:23 am

    I think the real question should be, why do all these women want to be with him when he does’t have a job and can’t even stand up to his wife?

  16. 16 D--- Sep 2nd, 2009 at 11:49 am

    I don’t understand why you all are picking on this wonderful human being?

    ….oh wait, sorry wrong story

  17. 17 MC Mom Sep 2nd, 2009 at 1:15 pm

    Jenn, Yahoo reports today that Spencer would divorce Heidi if she got pregnant:

    http://omg.yahoo.com/news/spencer-pratt-threatens-divorce-if-heidi-gets-pregnant/27227

    It looks Pratt and Gosselin are in a battle to see who can out-douche each other this week.

  18. 18 jenn Sep 2nd, 2009 at 2:37 pm

    Yep. Pratt and Gosselin the king and crown prince of Douchieness. Piven can play the court jester

  19. 19 Jannah Sep 2nd, 2009 at 7:35 pm

    Did you see Piven last night on Letterman telling his mercury poisoning story? Oy.

  20. 20 Angry Army Wife Sep 3rd, 2009 at 12:31 pm

    yeah, he is taking care of the kids all right. How close is Las Vegas to Pennsylvania anyways? And how many clubs is he visiting? I see more pics of her with the kids than I do him

    Does anyone else find it odd that Jon’s Twitter page links the sixgosselins website? It’s the family website, and it hasn’t been at all updated… it still portrays a loving, God-fearing family.
