Remember Kate Gosselin's recent Tonight Show appearance when she and Jay Leno wondered aloud whether Jon Gosselin had gotten a job? Well, the answer is still no; however, we've just learned that Gosselin has seemingly developed a sophisticated three-pronged financial strategy in order to support his eight children. According to Us Weekly, Jon's planned sources of income include:

1. A rich girlfriend. According to "a Gosselin insider," Jon, 33, has stopped trolling college campuses for dates and is now seeing an older Washington, D.C., woman with cash in the bank. "She's rich," says the source, "and he's hoping to have her back one of his projects."

2. Pitching a reality show. Apparently, Jon has been knocking down TLC's door trying to get his own show. Sources say he's so desperate, he's reportedly even lobbied to costar in ex-wife Kate's upcoming show Twist of Kate.

3. Selling his car. Need some wheels? Jon's BMW will soon be up for grabs; he's selling it for $25K (a $5,000 loss).

So while Kate works on lining up post-Dancing with the Stars sources of income, Jon is selling his possessions and milking his girlfriend for money. If that's how he's planning on providing for his eight kids, it's a good thing he backed off on that custody lawsuit!
