The divorcing stars of TLC’s Jon and Kate Plus 8 — who have eight children, including twins and sextuplets — appeared briefly in family court last week in the Philadelphia suburb of Norristown.
The reality show has been consumed in recent months by marital turmoil as the couple feuded, then filed for divorce. Kate Gosselin says her husband took US$230,000 from a joint account.
The TLC cable TV network is also suing Jon Gosselin for breaching his contract. The lawsuit, filed Friday, alleges that Jon Gosselin hasn’t met the obligations of his contract as an exclusive employee, has appeared on other programs for pay and made unauthorized disclosures about the show.
Recently, TLC announced the show would be renamed Kate Plus Eight, with a reduced presence by Jon Gosselin. A TLC spokeswoman has said the show’s longtime future remains in question.

Entrepreneur Richard Poncher was buried in the tomb 23 years ago. His widow, Elise Poncher, moved his body and put the tomb up for sale so she could pay off the US$1.6 million mortgage on her Beverly Hills house.
After the original deal fell through, a representative for Poncher contacted 11 other bidders who had offered over US$4.5 million, but none of them were interested in actually paying that much.
