And he also wants you to know that you can't believe everything you read! Well, except for his shirt and this blog, of course!
Yesterday the reality TV dad filmed an episode of
Jon & Kate Plus 8 with his adorable kids, and the dad next door helped sell lemonade for a fundraiser at the Lower Heidelberg Fire Company in Berks County, Pennsylvania. Aww, how sweet!
Jon chatted exclusively with X17 photographers, and he revealed that he'd love to have Britney Spears and her boys play at his $1.1 million estate! Hey, as long as they've got a
huge pool, I don't see why that would be a problem!
Jon also told
Us Weekly that he wishes he had a more regular job, but since he's got 8 kinds to take care of, he needs the reality TV gig. "I wish I had a 9 to 5 job instead of the nightmare I'm living. This is 24/7. I don't even want to do taping for the show anymore," he tells the
mag. "I have two houses and eight children to take care of and I need to work." Hey, at least he's honest!

Cameras were rolling and Rob and Kristen were on the set, as the first day of filming for
Eclipse got underway yesterday in Vancouver. The director even sent out a Tweet to mark the occasion.
"Shot with Rob and Kristen today, both gave great performances. Lots of frustrating noisy planes overhead but beautiful scene regardless," director David Slade posted on his Twitter account.
Even though
New Moon isn't in theaters yet, we're dying to get our first look at
Eclipse!
Oh, and do you think Rob and Kristen's off-screen romance is still going strong? Just wondering...

MTV is bring more sex and more skin to the airwaves, with an American version of the raunchy British teen hit
Skins.
The show, which will be about a group of teens living in Baltimore, will be written and produced by Brian Elsley, one of the show's creators, and maintain the original format in that all the stories will be written by previously unknown teenagers who will also star in the show.
The British version (which featured Slumdog star Dev Patel) is notoriously raunchy, so will it be watered down for the U.S.?
Liz Gately, MTV's senior VP of Series Development tells
THR that while they won't show nudity or use foul language in the American version, "we don't want to do a softer version of it."
Sounds like they've finally found a worthy successor to
Undressed!

He may not look like
David Beckham when he hits the pool/beach, but Mickey Rourke used to be incredibly hot, and he certainly has no problem getting hot babes to accompany him on vacation, so he must be doing something right!
The Oscar nominated actor traveled to Bosnia for the Sarajevo Film Festival, and when we snapped him at his resort in Dubrovnik, Croatia with his latest piece of arm candy, he had the balls to wear some pretty skimpy swim attire. Considering he's 55 years old, his body still looks pretty good, eh?

Hey, she's definitely got the looks (she recently signed on to model for Wilhelmina) and the
popularity! And when you consider the fact that her older sisters Kim, Khloe and Kourtney have their own shows (not to mention half brother Brody Jenner!) Kendall Jennfer would be the perrrrfect candidate for a reality TV program. Hey, maybe she could get some sort of show with Ali Lohan?
Kendall, younger sis Kylie, mom Kris, Kathy Lee Gifford and her daughter Cassidy were snapped shopping on Robertson yesterday afternoon, and we gotta hand it to the youngest Kardashians (er, Jenners) - they seem pretty well prepped to handle the spotlight, and they're barely teenagers!

Already the star of E!'s
Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim K has decided to add "producer" to her resume, teaming up with friend and celebrity publicist Jonathan Cheban to produce a new show.
A source tells the
NY Post that the Kim's first foray into producing is "a docu-series that follows Jonathan and the world of celebs and entertainment p.r."
The show will be produced by the company behind
The Real World and the new season of
Project Runway, Bunim/Murray, which means it will be extra-fabulous.
No word yet on which net will be airing the show, but if it's half as entertaining as the
Kardashians, we're making it a priority on TiVo!
