Jon Gosselin Apologizes—Again—and Asks for Kate's Forgiveness

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]," the reality star explained 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 regard to his children, Gosselin stated: "I know I'll have to explain my actions."

If Star Jones is looking for a fight, she better look elsewhere.

Barbara Walters is opting not to engage her former tag-team partner, even though Jones sounded off on her former View mates in a recent interview with Essence magazine, saying "those girls were hateful" when Jones exited the ABC gabfest in 2006.

"Barbara set me up," added Jones.

But in her response today, Walters kept things civil.

"Star had wonderful years with us on The View," Walters said. "And I think The View made Star a star."

OK, let's make that relatively civil.

Star Jones Gives Her View of Former Cohosts

It's probably safe to say that Star Jones won't be dropping by for a friendly chat on The View anytime soon.

Jones, who departed from the talk show in 2006, doesn't hold anything back when it comes to dissing discussing her former cohosts in the November issue of Essence magazine.

"Those girls were hateful," Jones says, referring to Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Barbara Walters.

Adding fuel to the fire, she insists, "Barbara set me up."

Ouch.

Then again, bashing Babs has sorta become a regular pastime for Jones.

First thing's first: Al Reynolds is not gay. He does, however, take pride in an appearance that's "cleaner than the board of health."

Second thing's second: He's also still in love with Star Jones.

In a series of three You Tube videos designed to set the record—and his sexuality—straight, Reynolds speaks out for the first time since his divorce from the former View cohost was announced in April, saying the demise of his marriage makes him "very sad" and that his relationship with Jones is currently loitering at "cordial."

"There are days when i'm like, 'Wow.' I still wear my ring. It hasn't settled in yet. I still love her," he says.

It ain't over till the formerly fat lady sings. Oh, wait, Star Jones just piped up.

The onetime View cohost has filed for divorce from her husband of three and a half years, Al Reynolds, her rep confirmed to E! News.

The uncontested divorce was sealed and entered into New York Supreme Court on March 26, signaling the beginning of the end of the high-profile marriage dogged by controversy and doubt since its start.

"Several years ago I made an error in judgment by inviting the media into the most intimate area of my life," the 46-year-old former prosecutor said in a statement to Entertainment Tonight. "A month ago I filed for divorce.

"The dissolution of a marriage is a difficult time in anyone's life that requires privacy with one's thoughts. I have committed myself to handling this situation with dignity and grace and look forward to emerging from this period as a stronger and wiser woman."
