EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Jon Gosselin Is The TV Ratings Draw, Not Kate, Says His Lawyer
Posted on Feb 09, 2010 @ 02:11PM
Jon Gosselin was the REAL star of Jon & Kate Plus 8 – at least that’s what his lawyer Mark Heller told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview.
Never afraid to make bold statements, Heller will definitely raise eyebrows with his new claims.
“The show is based on female demographics,” he told RadarOnline.com. “You have housewives watching. They want to see what Jon Gosselin is going to do next. They don’t care about Kate that much.
“She is not the ratings draw he is.”
Heller did confirm RadarOnline.com’s previous exclusive that TLC’s lawsuit against Jon will likely be settled before trial begins in April.
“We may have a settlement proposal in the next week or two,” Heller said. “It doesn’t make sense to litigate this case. Jon & Kate made $186 million last year for Discovery.

“It shocks me that they don’t try and get this thing back on the air.”
Jon withdrew his permission for the network to film his children after TLC announced it was limiting his role on the show and changing the title to Kate Plus 8.

Heller strongly hinted that Jon is ready to allow the network to film his kids again on a modified schedule, fewer hours and fewer days. Network sources tell RadarOnline.com, however, that they are not anxious to put the show back on the air after Jon’s stunt, which effectively shut down the series.
“Right now Jon’s in a holding pattern, waiting to see what will happen with these settlement discussions,” Heller told RadarOnline.com.

And to “prove” Jon’s popularity, he said the dad of 8 had been offered two Super Bowl commercials but turned them down because TLC has a preliminary injunction in place against Jon.
Which commercials?
“I can’t remember,” said Heller.

Jon can draw an audience only if he were the main attraction at the zoo.

Hollywood producers said that if they needed someone for a part that women hate, they'd hire Jon. Once again, suprise, suprise, Heller is dead wrong.

The only thing that made that show a success was his sperm! That's all. He needs to shut up and go away. Now that he can't afford his Ed Hardy shirts is he actually saying he might consider bringing the show back! Too late douche bag!!

Kate is very successful and will continue to be! A good thing because, we know Jon can't be counted on to help out!

Even if TLC lets Jon out of the contract, nobody is going to hire him. After all he pulled with TLC, nobody trusts him to not do the same to them. It's a chance they aren't willing to take!
