Was there a person alive who believed Jon Gosselin when he told Rabbi Shmuley Boteach on Sunday: “I’m not a fame seeker.”

Ha!

Over the past week or so, it’s been hard to turn on the television and not see Jon Gosselin’s receding hairline on one of the nightly entertainment shows.

Is this the behavior of someone who is trying to shy away from the spotlight? Yeah, we didn’t think so, either.

An insider tells BettyConfidential that the reason Jon has been appearing on TV so much lately is because he’s been getting paid to do it — and he needs the cash.

“Jon has resorted to taking money to talk nonstop about his personal life,” the source says, “and it’s more about what he is getting paid than what he is actually talking about.” And he’s also reportedly been pushing his gal pal Hailey Glassman to do the same — which would explain her tearful confessions about Jon’s “mantrums” on The Insider last week.

Among her claims: "Sometimes he has trouble with the truth," she said of Jon, "and he will dance and dance around his lies.”

Hmmm.
