The latest development in the train wreck that is the Gosselin saga?

Walking Ed Hardy advertisement Jon Gosselin was spotted with new girlfriend Hailey Glassman aboard Ed Hardy bigwig Christian Audigier's private yacht in St. Tropez, France this weekend.

The two men were also photographed together several times throughout the two days.

Word is Gosselin and Audigier are in talks to launch a children's fashion line, reported E! Online. (Baby trucker hats?) But being the father of eight does not a kids clothing designer make.

All but confirming the rumors that Ed Hardy is giving Gosselin a job, Audigier told E! News, "We would like to do a line of children's clothing." (Looks like dressing in head-to-toe Ed Hardy has paid off for Gosselin.)

Before Jon and soon-to-be-ex-wife Kate had their eight rug rats, he worked as an IT analyst, but since "Jon & Kate Plus 8," his job has been managing the family (no small task) and the demands of the show.

I'm sure a cushy job with a successful clothing company sounds like a dream to Gosselin right about now, but if there's one industry that can make changing diapers and reality TV seem benign, it's fashion.

And we all know the track record when it comes to flash-in-the-pan reality stars making it as designers. Did the crash and burn of Lauren Conrad's clothing line teach you nothing?

At least Gosselin has a built-in fan base of plus 8 and a seriously hyped TV show.

Would you dress your kids in Jon Gosselin-designed duds? Leave a comment.

I might buy them for my twin grandchildren yes. But, they better be very cute, and affordable, for the everyday person. Now, if they put a huge price on them then NO, becuase he came from nothing and therefore I would not make them just for the rich, want to make it work Jon, make them for the everyday person, and they will probably sell.

I had been overweight for the past five years. I had tried almost everything in the market, right from taking diet pills to enrolling in a gym but nothing really worked. Yes I did lose a few pounds but nothing substantial. It was then that a friend recommended Acai Nutraburst ( http://tr.im/AcaiNutraburst ) to me. I have been using the product for about a month now and have slimmed down considerably. I have actually started to wear all those dresses that I had put off for so long. The product is definitely one of the best weight loss products in the market today. I have already finished two bottles of Acai Nutraburst and am on my third bottle now. It totally changed my life! Not only did I lose a lot of weight quickly, I have also never felt more energetic and so full of life!

I have never been a morning person. That does not work out too well when you have to get 3 kids ready for school in the morning. I have been a regular user of multi-vitamin packs and energy drinks for some time now. I really hated the "burn out" from the drinks and taking the vitamins alone really did not do much for me. I started taking Resveratrol Pills http://cli.gs/EternalRezv and I now love getting up in the morning and have the extra energy to exercise while the kids are in school. So I am a "skinnier" morning person too. I am so glad I found this ultimate supplement: http://cli.gs/EternalRezv

If Christian Audigier is making a kids clothing line, you best believe the prices are going to be outrageous. I will never understand how a t-shirt is worth over a hundred bucks. There is no type of sewing or screen printing worth that much.

I use the Acai-eez Brand Acai Berry. They NEVER Autoship or Autobill! Also they have the Buy 3 Get 1 FREE only at http://www.Acai-eez.com/

Jon you've hit a low. The girl is going to dump you very soon. Before you know it, your children will be so fged up it'll shock you. Kate will blame you, and you will blame Kate.

Now, since you have shown your lack of parenting skills, and you have no heart....I hope nobody puts a dime in your pocket.

You're a little monkey man...

melissa 7-13-2009 @ 11:06PM

i think the guy is flake. talent for a clothing line, negative. he should be doing more than finding himself. get home and help with the kids dead beat!!!!!!!!!!

Sarah 7-13-2009 @ 2:15PM

Absolutely not. He is definitely not anyone that I would want my kids to look up to.

josie jones 7-13-2009 @ 2:04PM

No--the clothes are sleezy and douchy looking
Jon looks dreadful with her earrings and Hardy clothes-
No place for children's clothes at all
Jon is a terrible role model for children now--
I would start a boycott if so

At least Kate works and acts appropriately w/o flaunting
cigarettes and young things--disgusting

Cindy Stauffer 7-13-2009 @ 4:02PM

They are both bad role models at the moment, Jon and his "friends" and Kate implying to her children that work is more important than they are

wade90840 7-13-2009 @ 6:54PM

I agree completly with you Josie. Jon is a millionaire thanks to his wife giving birth to eight children. It's kinda like he won the lottery, but just not overnight. Once he saw all of this getting to the point he didn't like it (as he says). He should have pulled the plug on the show. I'm not trying to judge him, because I don't know him, and am not in his shoes, but one thing is for sure. I wouldn't be globetrotting with a little trophy on my arm. The show brought a lot of us to feel like we were part of their family. I would love to see them work things out.

Nancy 7-13-2009 @ 7:46PM

Yeah, I think Jon needs to grow up and stop hanging around with little girls! This absolutely screams MIDLIFE CRISIS!!! My ex did the same thing! Only he was 35 and his baby girlfriend was 19! She was closer to our kids' ages than his!

cindy 7-14-2009 @ 8:09PM

I think Jon needs to pay attention to his kids and try to rebuild his marriage.
Forget the clothes and the "chick". That won't work out either.
What kind of dad is he anyway? I used to like him but no way now. He needs help.

Ginney 7-14-2009 @ 2:41AM

After just reading that this 'girl' is the daugher of the surgeon that did Kate's tummy surgery, I was shocked! OK Jon, how long has this been going on? 3-4 years? She was a teenage for pete's sake. What are you thinking? I would divorce your butt too!

just me 7-13-2009 @ 2:11PM

Whats his new job PIMP

Sharon 7-13-2009 @ 2:05PM

I wouldn't buy anything from this p.o.s. putz after the way he did Kate and his kids along with this 2 bit floozy he's hanging with these days.

SHARON 7-13-2009 @ 2:49PM

At first I felt sorry for this guy, but now he is making Kate look like the nice one.

Kiki 7-13-2009 @ 3:23PM

How about it! He is such a loser! What about the poor stupid little girl dating a guy with 8 kids? You have to feel sorry for her. He is such a loser and Kate is the bread winner! I'd buy clothes from her but no way with his name! By the way who? He has no name - he'd be nothing without her!

Dee` 7-13-2009 @ 10:39PM

I said the same thing. The freaken Dr too. Its his daughter that he is dating. I guarantee he knew the whole time. You need surgery or clothing, dont go to those to back stabbers!!!!! The saying goes " what goes around ,comes around !!!!!!! May they all get paid back in spades !!!!
