TLC Wants Hailey Glassman, Michael Lohan to Rat Out Jon Gosselin

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 pit-bull law firm has unveiled its wish list 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.
The list of would-be tattlers was first reported by Radar Online.
At issue is Gosselin's public blabbermouthing in months past: His Jon & Kate Plus 8 contractual obligations forbade him from appearing on Entertainment Tonight and The Insider, both of which paid him to grace their airwaves. His contract also (unsuccessfully, it turns out) prevented him from making unauthorized disclosures about the behind-the-scenes goings-on at Camp Gosselin.
The bombshells are expected to drop fast and furious during the depositions, with the exact amount Gosselin has been paid to date for his teary, emotionally abusive appearances expected to be revealed (and, if TLC has its way, recouped), along with other nitty-gritty details on Jon's would-be business endeavors.
Which is where Lindsay's increasingly estranged and spotlight-hungry papa comes in. Michael Lohan's loose lips may have gotten yet another once-close ally into hot water as lawyers are expected to quiz him on the details of their planned joint reality project.
Lohan has made no secret of the fact that he and Gosselin want to work together on Divorced Dads Club, chronicling their lives as single fathers—a particularly rich proposal, given that Lohan's main contact with his children of late seems to be in leaking humiliating, lawsuit-instigating details of his famous kin.
Should negotiations, or talks of any kind, for the show have taken place while Jon was under contract with TLC, it would constitute breach of contract, as would any unapproved sources of income derived outside his work for the cable net.
In other words: Now, more than ever, it's a bad time to be Jon Gosselin.
