Jon Gosselin (Jon & Kate Plus 8)
Jon & Kate Gosselin had trouble starting a family, so they turned to fertility drugs and had twins. That wasn't enough though, and they decided to press their luck with fertility treatments again. This time it was sextuplets, and as everyone knows, if you have a litter of children, the TV networks will start showing up and offering you reality shows. The Gosselins bit, and thanks to the Discovery Health channel things snowballed and the Gosselins' extended family now includes a camera crew. TLC ultimately took over the show though, now nearing the conclusion of its fourth season. A fifth season hasn't been announced, but one would think that Jon & Kate's show might be in jeopardy of another season now that 'Octomom' Nadya "I wish I was Angelina Jolie" Suleman gave birth to octuplets, thanks also to her doctors meddling with nature. But Nadya's been offered a boatload of money and health care from some porn producer if she puts out on film. Odds are that she won't, and if TLC comes knocking she'll turn that down too. She'd rather live off taxpayers.
Jon's a very laid back sort of guy. He's of French, Irish and Korean origin, and kinda looks like that guy on Lost that needs to get killed off soon (no, not Jin). Kate keeps everything organized (read: is a controlling bitch) and she and her uterus are only one of 13 mothers in the U.S. who have had sextuplets. We're not sure if Octomom qualifies for that club - if it's for women who've had only sextuplets or women who have had six or more in their litters. Kate's also written two books and was nice enough to change the ghostwriter's name on one to "John Gosselin" despite his not picking up a pen for it. Her second book is due out soon and should be interesting now that she's an expert on multiple childbirths. Just in case you were wondering (you probably weren't), the kids' names are Cara, Madelyn, Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel. Oh, and they recently got two German Shepherds, because eight kids just weren't enough.
