Just a few weeks after splitting from his wife of 10 years, Jon Gosselin is back in the spotlight with a new career and a new girlfriend, Hailey Glassman.
Hailey, the daughter of the plastic surgeon who performed Kate Gosselin’s tummy tuck in 2006, accompanied Jon to the French Riviera over the weekend.
The reason for the trip? So Jon Gosselin could finalize a deal to design his own clothing line for kids (really) with Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier.
The best part? Party girl Hailey Glassman, whose mug shot was leaked online earlier today, will also have a hand in creating the kid-friendly fashions.
“She’ll have a lot of input with Christian,” Jon Gosselin told People when asked about Hailey’s involvement in their new fashion foray. “And I will, too.”
Jon also said that his eight kids, who spent the weekend with Kate Gosselin at the family’s Pennsylvania home, will model his designs in ads for the line.
Nice to see that the tabloid frenzy, contentious separation and the hiatus of Jon and Kate Plus 8 haven't stopped them from pimping out their offspring.
Jon Gosselin and Hailey Glassman take in the St. Tropez scene.
Christian Audigier says he approached Gosselin with the idea after noticing that the TV dad often wore his tattoo-inspired T-shirts on Jon and Kate Plus 8.
“He’s huge,” says the French designer, “Everyone knows this family. And now everyone will know our clothes. They’ll be fun, easy clothes for kids.”
During the weekend aboard Audigier’s yacht, Jon Gosselin and Hailey Glassman lunched at the Tahiti Club before cruising around the bay in a boat.
The hot couple went shopping at some high-end boutiques around St. Tropez, including Hermes and Prada. “They couldn’t take their eyes off each other,” a friend of Audigier’s says of Jon and Hailey. “They looked so happy to just be together.”
According to E!, Jon later ditched jet-lagged Hailey at the hotel to party.
Jon partied with Audigier at the glitzy nightclub Les Caves du Roy, where he drank champagne and danced until 5 a.m.: "Their bill there could have been as much as $50,000," says a club source. "They looked like they were having a lot of fun."
After sleeping in Sunday, the couple did some shopping in St.-Tropez port. That night, Jon Gosselin left Hailey Glassman at the hotel again and went to a late, boozy dinner with Audigier at a friend's private villa.
"He looked drunk," says a source who saw Gosselin arrive.

Does Jon actually think Kate is going to look at these pics of Jon hanging out with "make me famous Hailey" and agree to putting Ed Hardy clothes on her kids? Ha ha.
It will be only over her dead body. Dried up designer dude is dreaming.

How this mind-numbingly ugly guy gets any women at all is a mystery to me. I know it's not his fault that nature molded him in the attractiveness range between a gopher and a guinea pig, but honestly...stop giving him media coverage! You'll only encourage him to make more kids =:-o

P.S.
That Ed Hardy shirt is fugly too. Looks like a 70's black light poster.

I hear you, Julia. This is one F-ugly human being. Kate's no beauty herself (even without the reverse mullet weave), and the combination produced eight homely children. If they didn't have the infamy of having been lab-produced in a litter, no one would risk cracking their camera lens on these sad little trolls. And now it's going to be a competition to see which parent can cruelly exploit these children the most. Kate should have gotten free work from a psychiatrist instead of a plastic surgeon, those exploited kids are going to need it, especially once they go to school and other kids are talking about watching them sit on the potty chair, have their dad dig out their impacted rectums, etc. on national television. And Ms. Glassman makes me ashamed to be a Jew. What a shandah (scandal)! May she and Jon both be cursed with ill fortune!

Jon was always bragging how he was the stylish one, but this Ed Hardy crap is so ugly and makes him look even fatter than he probably is. I can't imagine putting such ugly sh&t on an innocent child, let alone eight of them. What an eyesore!

The chick is ugly, but I guess that's the best a divorcee with 8 kids can do.

A man that had it all now has NOTHING. i would not buy one garment from him,how could you do this to your children 8 of them no less.

You would think that since her father practices plastic surgery for a living he would do some work on his daugther. Or maybe Jon is just trying to plug for another free-bee surgery. 1. hair plugs = check 2. liposuction so he can look less chubby in his Ed Hardy T-shirts = maybe....

Jon is dumber than a sack of rocks. The fact that he thinks being a parent of 8 kids qualifies him to be a fashion designer is so ridiculous. Also, if Audigier thinks that women will buy their children clothes designed by a cheater and his girlfriend, he is a complete f'in moron. I hope he invests every penny he owns into this new venture and it blows up in his face and he loses it all! And how dumb does Jon think Kate is? Did he actually think Kate would allow her kids be models for a clothing line that received input from her soon to be ex husband's hooker? Someone needs to do the world a favor and lock Jon up and out of sight so he can stop harming his children. Come on. K8's hair is nothing compared to what her asshole husband has going on. I don't even think I would allow him ne where near the children until his stupid, typical mid life crisis is over with. I loathe Jon G. He is trash. I hope that dumb biotch Glassman passes on to him the only gift she can afford, herpes. It'd be the least he deserves.
What a moron.
