Jon Gosselin Wants To Apologize And Attend Counseling

We’re not sure if any amount of counseling or apologies will get you out of this hole you’ve dug yourself into!
Jon Gosselin is telling the world that he is seeking counseling under the wing of Rabbi Michael Shmuley. You know, the one that released those Michael Jackson tapes?
Gosselin says:

“I further accept that I have allowed myself to become somewhat severed from my own moral anchor and be carried away by the challenges of fame. It is for this reason that I have endeavored of late to reconnect with my deeper, more spiritual, more altruistic self with regular study sessions and counseling.
I have always endeavored to be a loving father and a devoted parent who serves as a moral exemplar to his eight children├óΓé¼┬ªMy father was my inspiration and moral compass. I intend to serve the same role for my own children by taking responsibility for my errors and making right any pain I have caused to those I love.”

In an attempt to right his wrongs, Jon is going to publicly apologize at New York’s West Side Synagogue this coming Sunday to the people he has hurt, which makes perfect sense – except he’s NOT Jewish! What is his deal with Judaism? Didn’t he already say he wasn’t converting?
If this isn’t the biggest BS publicity stunt we’ve ever seen, we don’t know what is!
Jon sayss:

“It is my sincere desire to use the fame I have so unexpectedly acquired to highlight mature, responsible behavior as well as the joys of fatherhood and family. I ask the public to please understand the challenges I face in living under constant public scrutiny, even as I am aware that I have at times courted that scrutiny. I am committed to making things right with Kate and especially my children. I ask you to please give me the opportunity to prove myself.”

Apparently Jon’s decision stems from the rumors of the reality show with the Octomom to which Jon responded:

“I am troubled to learn that the media has accepted as true the scurrilous rumor that I would appear in a reality television program with Nadya Suleman. This is utterly false. I do however accept that some of my previous actions have in some way lent credence to such outrageous stories.”

Yeah, no shit!
And you know his publicist was writing this crap. Can you imagine the world “scurrilous” coming out of this douchebag’s mouth? Please.
We wonder what Kate thinks about all of this?
