Since splitting from wife Kate, being careful with his family’s money doesn’t seem to be a priority for Jon Gosselin. On July 24, Jon was partying it up at the Pink Elephant nightclub in Southampton, N.Y. Days earlier, Jon was spotted purchasing a pair of $950 shoes from NYC boutique Pravda Abbigliamento on Madison Avenue. “He told us to call him if we got in anything else he might be interested in,” store owner Philip Pravda tells Life & Style.

The single life hasn’t only turned Jon into a big spender, it’s made him greedy for more. “Jon is sure Kate’s keeping money from him, more than a million dollars,” an insider close to Jon tells Life & Style. “He thinks some of the money she’s made from her books and tours has been put someplace where he can’t access it.” Jon’s friend confirms, “Jon says he found out Kate had been hiding about $100,000 in cash in the house.”

Rather than confront Kate about it, Jon’s leaving it to his lawyers to fight for him. “It’s turned into an all-out war over money,” the insider says. “Jon says Kate’s books and speaking engagements were based on their children and their relationship, so he rightfully deserves a cut.” Kate disagrees. “As far as she’s concerned, this is money she’s made by herself,” the insider says. “She doesn’t want him to get a cent of it.”

One month after filing for divorce from Jon, Kate Gosselin has finally removed her wedding ring.

She was spotted without the bling today while on a coffee run with her oldest twin, Cara, 8, near her $1.1-million home in Reading, Penn. Cara drank a Frappuccino. The duo also stopped by the dentist and a Kinko’s store.

Yesterday, Kate, Cara and Mady took a stretch limo to Philadelphia to watch a Jonas Brothers concert.

Meanwhile, Jon has been hanging out with Kate Major in the Hamptons. They went out for dinner with Michael Lohan and Real Housewives of New York star Jill Zarin Wednesday.

While Jon has not confirmed a romantic relationship, Major resigned from her job as a tabloid reporter at Star Thursday, citing a conflict of interest after she “fell” for the dad of eight.

Jon was most recently linked to 22-year-old Hailey Glassman, daughter of the plastic surgeon who performed Kate’s free tummy tuck. They vacationed in a $2,515-a-night chateau in St. Tropez last week.

When Hailey Glassman accepted Jon’s marriage proposal during a romantic trip to the French Riviera in mid-July, she must have known that in addition to becoming his wife, she’ll also instantly become a part-time caretaker of his eight kids. But instead of being daunted, Hailey is enthusiastic about the enormous responsibility she’d face raising 8-year-old twins and 5-year-old sextuplets. As the new couple celebrated their engagement with champagne at the V.I.P Room nightclub on July 13, Hailey told Jon, “I can’t wait to be a stepmom!” an onlooker tells In Touch. “She was saying she thinks it will be fun and how much she loves kids, and that she has always wanted a big family.”

According to a friend of the two, Jon and Hailey are looking forward to raising his children together. “Every time one of the kids called him when they were in St. Tropez, Hailey would gaze at Jon lovingly, then ask all about which one had called and what they were up to back home,” says the friend. Hailey may be raring to go, but the friend says that she has unrealistic expectations of her new responsibilities. “She really thinks being a stepmom will be great and she won’t have to discipline the kids,” the friend explains. “She sees her role as a fun, cool big sister. She thinks the kids will all like her because she’s going to spoil them rotten.” Hailey’s enthusiasm is certainly admirable, but she’s forgetting that there’s another important person she’ll have to deal with — Jon’s livid, soon-to-be ex-wife Kate. Since Jon got engaged, Kate has been “crying herself to sleep,” an insider says. “When she found out what Jon had done, she saw it as the ultimate betrayal. It was like a knife in her back.” Kate will not let Hailey — who has been arrested and has a reputation as a wild party girl — just waltz into her children’s lives, especially since she’s barely even speaking to Jon.

It doesn’t sound like parents-to-be Kendra Wilkinson and her football player hubby, Hank Baskett, will be going all Jon and Kate Gosselin on us.

Kendra says their baby, due on Christmas Day, probably won’t be on camera too much if she and Baskett continue starring in reality television. That is a lesson she learned from tuning in for Jon & Kate Plus 8.

“We don’t watch that anymore,” Kendra tells me. “I watched back when it was good and they weren’t all Hollywood.”

She continued, “I feel bad for the kids. If we do have a show, none of that’s going to happen…I want to be able to spend quality time with my child and not really give the world too much.”

And that includes getting out of Hollywood…

Kendra is packing up her bags and moving to Philadelphia to be with Hank for the upcoming football season.

“I need to get away and hibernate for a little and be a protective mama,” she explained. “I like the energy there. They leave me alone. I feel way more private [in Philly] than here, and that’s what I need.”

But the couple will eventually land back on the West Coast. “We’re going to try to get a house to buy and live in with the baby,” Kendra said. “We’re actually thinking about San Diego County—going back to where I’m from!”

But the California girl is excited about the upcoming East Coast winter. “It’s perfect timing,” she said. “That’s where a real Christmas is. I want to have a real Christmas baby in a real Christmas place.”

So will the newborn be wearing pink or blue? Just because Kendra referred to the baby as David Beckham the other day, that doesn’t mean a little guy is on the way.

“I’m just saying the baby is a kicker,” she said. “We don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl yet. We’ll find out in three weeks.”

When Hailey Glassman arrived at her parents home in New City, N.Y., on May 4 for an early Mother’s Day surprise, she had a surprise of her own: Jon Gosselin, star of Jon & Kate Plus 8, was staying there.

Why? Gosselin, 32, a family friend since Hailey’s father, plastic surgeon Lawrence Glassman, performed Kate Gosselin’s tummy tuck operation following the birth of her sextuplets, was trying to escape the tensions at the home he shared with Kate in Wernersville, Pa.

According to a source close to Jon Gosselin, “Jon was heartbroken, totally heartbroken. Kate told him to take a hike.”

‘Kate Was Done’
The source says Jon and Hailey, already acquaintances, began their romance only after Kate filed for divorce on June 20.

According to the source. although the public did not know it, Jon and Kate actually split up late last year: “She said she wanted her life. She said she was done. It came out of the blue.”

Soon afterwards, Jon moved out of the couple’s bedroom and slept elsewhere in the house – and started going out to clubs and bars.

New Life in New York
Reporters spotted him out with 23-year-old teacher Deanna Hummel last spring, but there was never an affair between the two, the Jon source insists. As the trouble at home grew unavoidable, Jon moved out of the main house and into the apartment above the Gosselin’s three-car garage.

Today, Jon and Kate talk to each other only about their kids, the source says. And now that Jon has rented an apartment in New York City, says the source, expect to see Glassman and Gosselin spending time together in Manhattan.

Jon and Kate Gosselin reunited Thursday afternoon for the first time since he took new girlfriend Hailey Glassman on a luxe getaway to France.

The exes were spotted hanging out in the driveway of their $1.1 million Pennsylvania home with two of their sextuplets. Jon drank Vitamin Water, while Aaden sucked on a popsicle. (They were last together on the fourth of July.)

While Kate lives at the home full-time, Jon stops by when he has visitation. “We flip-flop that way,” Kate explained on the same episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8 they announced their split.

Jon was also seen playing with two of his girls Wednesday at the home.

On Tuesday, he landed in New York City without his new 22-year-old gal pal.

When asked by photographers what ex Kate thinks of party girl Glassman (the daughter of the surgeon who performed her 2006 tummy tuck), Jon said, “I guess you’d have to ask Kate.”

He then added that he’s “not allowed” to discuss the relationship. “I don’t want to get in trouble,” he said.

As ex Jon Gosselin celebrates his single status in France with 22-year-old girlfriend Hailey Glassman, Kate Gosselin is sticking to her everyday routine in Wernersville, Pa.

On Tuesday, she left their eight kids at their $1.1 million home to run errands.

Wearing a floppy hat and sunglasses, Kate stopped by a UPS Store (she was spotted toting the children’s magazine Highlights) and later picked up gas. Tellingly, she also was wearing her wedding ring (Kate has said she was “not fond of” the idea of separating).

Kate has been looking after their eight kids ever since Jon took his trip to France with Hailey Glassman last week. Over the weekend – while Jon and Hailey smoked cigarettes and chilled on Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier’s yacht – Kate went grocery shopping and had a picnic with the kids.

Jon is expected to return from France today. Filming of their hit TLC show Jon & Kate Plus 8 resumes Aug. 3. It remains to be seen whether Hailey will be a part of the show.

A source tells Us Hailey didn’t go out with Jon Monday night in France because she was “upset” over the negative press.
