Hailey Glassman and Michael Lohan have never met a camera they didn't like. But right about now they're probably wishing they had just kept their media-whoring mouths shut.

And if they're not, then Jon Gosselin certainly is.

TLC's pitbull law firm has unveiled its wishlist of Gosselin hangers-on to be grilled in the network's breach-of-contract suit against the octodad, and in a surprise to no one, both Glassman and Lohan are tops on their wish list.

In addition to the publicity parasites, the Washington D.C.-based firm of Williams & Connolly wants to depose Thomas Meinelt, the paparazzo turned Gosselin bodyguard who is no doubt harboring extensive dirt on his new boss; Jon's divorce attorneys Michael and Mark Heller; and Matthew Kirschner, the rep for the "talent" that is J.Goss.

OK, we understand Mark Ballas and Derek Hough are totally into the whole music thing.

But they must know that we know from watching Britney, Paula and other pop-music makers that, if you're doing a taxing dance routine while performing live, you're probably not doing a whole lot of actual singing.

As we said, the Ballas Hough Band made a rousing Dancing With the Stars debut. We assume their song had words under all the spectacle.

Otherwise, Tuesday's show was another of those tense affairs, with two celebs headed for the door and everyone forced to prepare a dance-off-worthy routine just in case.

So there was Donny Osmond in his green sparkly jacket and Kelly Osbourne in her hot pink and leather...

The Kate-Gosselin-Sets-It-Straight train rolled into Remorseland today.

The reality-TV star whose show has been postponed out from under her admits in her latest interview that she isn't proud of the Jon & Kate Plus 8 moments which she spent berating hubby Jon Gosselin or otherwise bossing him around.

"I was very hard on him and I would never deny that," she said tonight on the TLC special Kate: Her Story. "I felt very much like a lot of weight rested on my shoulders."

"I was wrong to treat him that way," she added. "Was it good, healthy and wonderful? No. Am I proud of those moments that were captured? No."

Those moments were the ones that initially had the fans playing for Team Jon in the early days of their breakup—before new Jon reared his ugly (yet now apologetic) head.)

Week seven and the going is getting rougher on Dancing With the Stars.

A few of the remaining celebs have flirted with the top, only to fall short of a committed, see-ya-next-week-same-time relationship.

Michael Irvin entered this week of competition hanging on by the hair of his footballs. Time is running out for Kelly Osbourne to recapture the potential she showed weeks ago before she started hemorrhaging confidence. And Mya just can't seem to get on Len Goodman's good side.

Did anything change this week? And what did Kelly do to get Bruno Tonioli up on the table like that?

Viewers, prepare your TiVos: there's a sure-to-be shambolic new reality show in the Hoffing.

A few weeks ago, reports surfaced that David Hasselhoff might be bringing his trainwreck life to the airwaves (spurred on by his daughter's since-rescinded Twitter claim that the show was a done deal). And while no air date has been set you, the reality project appears to be inching its way toward, well, reality.

"We are in discussions about the possibility of a series, but nothing official at this time," a rep for A&E tells E! News.

Well, somebody's gotta replace those Gosselins.

Teenage Hoffspring Hayley and Taylor, no strangers to candid-camera footage, are expected to appear alongside their dad, a detail seemingly corroborated by Hayley earlier this month.

"The Hasselhoffs signed the deal with A&E…Get readdyy for it," she tweeted in a post that has since been removed from her page.

Ex-wife Pamela Bach, it should surprise no one, will not be appearing in the show. Apparently, you don't hassle an ex-Hoff, either.

No doubt this show will generate plenty of superlatives but spooky won't be one of them. So check out the Spookiest Show on TV already, won't ya?

Déjà vu.

During Jon Gosselin's Sunday night appearance at New York City's West Side Jewish Center, the world's most famous reality dad had yet another public epiphany, alongside his newest companion, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach.

Everything got covered during Gosselin's forum, Gawker reports, including his excuse for arriving 40 minutes late. When he got over his own tardiness, he shared on his desire to be out of the spotlight, his rumored split with Hailey Glassman and his request for forgiveness from his estranged wife, Kate.

"I think I'm just misunderstood. I'm not a fame seeker. Everyday I look in the mirror and I wonder [why I'm famous]," asked the reality star at the public event. "I don't sing. I don't dance. I'm not a Nobel Peace Prize winner. I just had eight kids and I had a show on TLC."

TLC fame or not, Gosselin says he in no way condones his actions over the past few months.

"Half the stuff I've done, if I look at my moral compass, I shouldn't have done," he said. "I know that, but I did it anyway. It's like fame canceled out conviction. I didn't grow up this way. But I have to keep on going, keep on working and providing." And in regards to his children, Gosselin stated: "I know I'll have to explain my actions."

It is so easy to scoff at every apology that comes out of Jon Gosselin's sorry mouth.

He's a joke, you say. He's a loser, you say. He poses for pictures like, well, the one above, you remind.

And, most of all, you offer as final argument, he's a celebrity, and not even a very good one at that.

To you, the idea that Jon Gosselin's recent mea culpas are sincere and heartfelt is laughable. Believe Jon Gosselin?! Trust Jon Gosselin?! Root for Jon Gosselin?!

To which we simply say, yes.
