Jon Gosselin to Launch Children's Foundation, Sell Autographs

Father of the year Jon Gosselin appeared Saturday at Frightworld in Buffalo, N.Y., where a local paper wrote that he was charging $7 for his autograph.

What type of idiot would actually pay that for a Jon Gosselin autograph, we have no clue. Which is probably why Jon's rep denied that part of the story.

Gosselin never agreed to any such arrangement, according to his manager. Which is good, if true, because that's $7 more than his signature's worth.

Whatever the real reason, the father of eight was the main attraction at a haunted house attraction, touring five haunted houses at the Frightworld complex beginning at 6:30 p.m., during breaks from greeting fans, and afterward.

This is not the scene in Buffalo, sadly for Jon. Hey, not every public appearance includes a pool full of mediocre girls and free drinks in Vegas. Haunted houses are cool too.

Jon was supposedly doing the appearance as part of his efforts to launch the Jon Gosselin Children's Foundation. We have no clue what that does.

Hopefully it helps pay the mountains of psychiatric bills for the children of America who have been exploited by parents on reality TV shows.

Sigh. Poor Cara, Mady, Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel. We hope the Gosselin Eight had a nice weekend at home with Katezilla.
