Jon and Kate Are Staying Busy
These two certainly haven’t let the suspension of their original TV show get them down. While their appearance in the tabloids hasn’t occurred with quite the regularity we saw last summer, they’ve done more than well at staying at the forefront of media attention.
First we have Kate landing a spot on Dancing with the Stars. Lots of people have been making a big deal over this. Personally I can’t say that I’m that interested. I can only assume that she’ll make it through part of the show, dancing decently but with no real distinction. Certainly Aldrin will last longer, despite her being half his age. It’s no contest – living legend versus fame mongering housewife.
But I digress.
Because what could be better than Kate having an opportunity to be put in her place amongst real celebrities? It would have to be Jon getting solicited by Playgirl – and for a fraction the price. It’s like they were short one page on the magazine and ran to the bargain bin for filler. While 20 gees is not a sum to laugh at, Playgirl’s offers are usually much, much higher. Try $80,000 dollars higher, as Levi Johnson was reportedly payed for his shirtless shoot.
“We discussed it and we’d offer him only $20,000,” Playgirl rep Daniel Nardicio told Life & Style magazine. “His star is extinguishing, and he’s not very [well endowed].” (source)
Ouch – that’s gotta sting.
