Jon Gosselin has put TLC, the cable network behind “Jon & Kate Plus 8,” on notice to “cease and desist” any television production of the show and leave his property.

Gosselin’s attorney Mark Jay Heller said,

“Jon realized his family was like a trainwreck, so he decided to put the brakes on the divorce and on the show … because if he didn’t, the family would be in a mortal accident … the victims of a trainwreck.”

This is BEYOND funny!

The family became a trainwreck months ago… when Jon Grosselin started thinking with his [cough]. The only reason he’s doing this, he doesn’t like his recent pay cut.

Kate would be a fool to give you another chance. Which leads me to predict a really nasty divorce if she’s stupid enough to reconcile.

Heller said the original agreement between TLC and the Gosselin family “may very well be ‘null and void’ and unenforceable.” He claims that TLC:

• Failed to secure the special permits required by Pennsylvania Child Labor Law as a “prerequisite” for the Gosselin children’s involvement in “Jon & Kate Plus 8.”
• Failed to designate the appropriate compensation to be allocated to the children and may be determined that TLC has not provided for compensation for the eight children over the past four years.
• The network “never secured location permits” for the production company to film the show on the Gosselins’ property.

Heller and Gosselin told ET they’ve been in discussions to pull the plug on the program and take the kids off the show for weeks prior to Tuesday’s announcement that the name of the show would change from “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ to “Kate Plus 8.”

Jon is prepared to seek Court intervention to make sure his children’s best interests are protected.”
