As a lawyer, I'm no
Angie Harmon, but I like to think I know a thing or two about Gosselin law. And the way I understood it,
Jon was under contract with TLC to shut the H up. Thankfully for our entertainment, he has chosen to break that contract.
It's really more of a tag-team slam, much like in the glory days of the British Bulldogs. First out was
Kate's old dance buddy,
Tony Dovolani, who told
Us Weekly he and Kate Irene Gosselin haven't continued their Paso Doble lessons.
"I actually haven't stayed in touch with her," he told
Us at the ESPYs on July 14. "She hasn't stayed in touch with me. I needed a break. She's not someone I worry about." Meow, Tony, meow!
If that's all it was, I could have had a good personal chuckle remembering how Tony dragged Kate all over the floor to a cruise-ship rendition of "Paparazzi" and moved on with my day without involving the rest of Canada. But we were given an even greater gift when Jon sent in his digs via email. "Five weeks versus 10 years," he sassed to
Us. "Tony, you're weak. At least you were getting paid for your troubles!" Yes, Jon Gosselin is back, and this time, he has material!
Under the Gosselins' old custody order, Jon was paying Kate $20,000 per month. But they reached a new secret deal a few weeks ago, TMZ reports, which most likely takes into account that Kate has a thriving career while Jon hasn't even had a gig selling corn at the side of the road since the big Gosselin implosion of '09. So considering the vulnerable position he is in, he might not want to be taking shots, unless he wants Kate to put him back on the
$5 allowance.
