Jon Gosselin brought his campaign to have his eight children removed from the cast of TLC’s Jon & Kate Plus 8 — soon to be Kate Plus 8 — to Larry King Live on Thursday night. According to Gosselin’s attorney, Mark Heller, TLC terminated Jon’s contract on Tuesday — read: He was fired — because Jon was planning to go on the show and announce he was no longer allowing his children to participate.
“The reason I don’t think it’s healthy for them is that we’re going through a divorce right now, and I don’t think it should be televised and I think my kids should be taken off the show,” Gosselin said.
While his estranged wife Kate allegedly wants to keep the show going “for financial reasons,” Jon told Larry, “I need to be a father. I need to take my kids off the show.” He also said he wants to put the brakes on his divorce.
“I’m here to apologize to Kate,” he continued. “I’ve made mistakes.” When asked if he has spoken to Kate recently, Jon said, “I’ve tried. She doesn’t want to talk to me.”
Chris Brown has issued a statement explaining that an advance clip of his interview with Larry King, set to air on Wednesday night on CNN, has been taken out of context; he does, in fact, remember the domestic assault with pop star Rihanna that led to him pleading guilty to assault earlier this year.
On Monday, CNN released clips on Brown’s interview on Larry King Live, in which the host can be heard asking Brown, “Do you remember doing it?” referring to the beating of his former girlfriend in the early hours of February 8, to which the crooner Brown is heard in the clip replying, “No.”
In his first television interview since his arrest on charges of battering his girlfriend, pop singer Rihanna, the “Kiss Kiss” star reveals that he is still in love with Rihanna, is haunted by her post-assault photo, and doesn’t remember the rage that still stands to ruin his once promising career.
(The old “I Don’t Remember A Thing” Defense, eh?)
“I just need to prove to people I can be a role model,” Brown, who was accompanied by his mother, Joyce Hawkins, and lawyer Mark Geragos during the interview at CNN Headquarters in Hollywood last Wednesday. “That’s not who I am as a person, and that’s not who I promise I want to be,” the singer laments.
Catch the full interview this Wednesday, Sept. 2 at 9/8c on CNN.
