Father Knows Best? Not For These Celeb Dads

Fame

Jon Gosselin

The father of the world’s most famous sextuplets takes good care of his kids…when he’s not busy acting like one! When Jon and Kate Gosselin separated in June 2009, Jon, 33, put on a non-stop show for the paparazzi, parading around much-younger girlfriends at New York City clubs, Vegas pool parties and the French Riviera. But his wake-up call came soon enough: His new relationships fizzled, he was unable to find a job, and his attempts to get custody of the kids were met with public ridicule. Now the father of eight is wisely staying out of the spotlight and reportedly looking to restart his career -- although that recently leaked home video of Gosselin acting high probably won’t help with the job hunt. At least he’s ditched the bedazzled Ed Hardy tees for respectable polo shirts. That’s a start, right?
