Jon Gosselin May Appear on 'The Amazing Race' or 'Survivor'

Update: A representative for Jon Gosselin told Access Hollywood that the reports of Gosselin contemplating a 'Survivor' or 'Amazing Race' appearance are "100% not true." The father of eight is, however, planning a "public service announcement."

Jon Gosselin is headed back to reality -- reality television, that is.

A source for RadarOnline.com claims that Gosselin is planning to meet with CBS at the end of next month to discuss appearing on celebrity editions of 'The Amazing Race' or 'Survivor.' The source adds that the idea is currently in the "very early stages" and that "nothing is a done deal yet."

Seriously? Anyone with an ounce of intelligence should know that this is the last thing Jon Gosselin should be doing.

For one thing, reality TV has already done enough damage to his image -- not to mention his family. Yes, it made Jon Gosselin a household name. But it also made him the subject of one too many tabloid stories, including this one. If Jon really wants to save his image that badly, reality TV is not the answer. Just ask Dina Lohan, Jessica Simpson, Denise Richards or, well, Jon Gosselin.

Further, booking another reality show will only make him look like a hypocrite. If Kate and their children have to stay off-camera (recently, Jon filed a cease-and-desist order, which halted production on the 'Jon & Kate' spin-off 'Kate Plus 8'), then what entitles Jon to remain in the spotlight?

Of course, there are ways to turn this bad idea into a good one (admit it: you'd totally watch 'The Amazing Race' if Jon and Kate were on it together, traveling the globe to save their marriage). But just as we asked TLC to cancel 'Jon & Kate Plus 8,' we think it's time for someone to pull the plug on Jon Gosselin's reality career.

So if you're listening, Jon, take a page from Sarah Palin and Whitney Houston. Lay low for awhile, and then, if you're really compelled to, tell all of your problems to Oprah. We'll thank you for it later.
