Jon Gosselin Pays $22,000 a Month in Child Support

Jay Leno recently asked Kate Gosselin if her ex-husband, Jon, had a job. She said she wasn't sure, but Jon has confirmed that he's looking for work, and New York Daily News culled over recent interviews to get to get the big picture.

Someone close to Jon told US Weekly that the cash-strapped Gosselin was looking to sell his $30,000 BMW to help pay his support.

"I just can't afford the $22,000 a month right now,” said Gosselin. That’s why he’s looking to get back into television, possibly as a host. According to the US Weekly’s source, Jon is jealous of Kate getting back on the air with dancing With The Stars and rumors her own show.

"He has been lobbying TLC to get a show of his own," the insider said. "It's killing him that Kate is having all of this success."

Perhaps in an attempt to improve his image and get back on TV, he has fired the lawyer who recently accused Kate of being an absentee mother and instigated a custody battle.

"I never wanted primary custody, [List] filed for that," Gosselin told TMZ. "I only wanted a more flexible custody schedule so I could be with my kids."
