The Alexandria: Jon Gosselin's New York Bachelor Apartment

"Jon & Kate Plus 8" newly single dad Jon Gosselin has supposedly moved into a two-bedroom apartment in The Alexandra, an Upper West Side building at 201 West 72nd Street.

People reports he moved into the building recently and stayed a night, shortly before taking off for France with his girlfriend Hailey Glassman and visiting his eight kids in Pennsylvania, where he is also obligated to film his TLC reality show.

The building, on the corner of Broadway, has a few comparable listings currently for rent, which can be seen on Streeteasy.com.

The two two-bedroom apartments now available for rent are going for $4800 and $5000 a month, and are 1076 square ft and 1150 square ft respectively.

The average for-sale price in the building is $1,148 per ft.

No word how much Gosselin is paying or how many beds he's put in to possibly accommodate a visit from his sizable brood.

This Gosselin marriage must have been threatened by a gay couple somewhere... it's the only explanation for the breakup.

[greenriverkate]

Again, OMG, who the h@ll cares about these people?

[PunKinPai]

You, for one, or you wouldn't be posting here.

[Zen0469]

A true skuzzball in every way.

He truly deserves the darkest corner of obscurity. Perhaps it will be his destiny to find it.

[ccpostman]

And I take it you will keep watching, keeping his ratings up so he makes even more money?

He thanks you for your hate driven support. Just keep watching!

[nee]

I hope he has been fixed so that he can't abandon any more children that he was the sperm donor for.

[jhallbo]

Just because a father and mother seperate, it doesn't mean that the father has 'abandoned' his children.

[ccpostman]

I don't think he needs or wants more kids.

[churchhill]

I agree with jhalbo here. He has not abandoned his kids. He gets as much times with them as she does. He has been a good, and loving father who is in a unfortunate situation in his relationship with the mother of his children. But that has not changed the fact that he has been, and will be a good father.

[PunKinPai]

So you've never watched the show, just read about it in The Enquirer???

[jimbeaux1961]

Is it a "No Children" building? Wouldn't surprise me.

[midwestisbest]

Wow...so I wonder how much of the $$$ will be left for the kids when they grow up??

".... who cares about the future, right now it's about ME and fulfilling MY needs."

The mantra of a demographic in decline...

[ccpostman]

"so I wonder how much of the $$$ will be left for the kids when they grow up"

The kids will be rolling in it. First the trusts and also a little thing called re-runs and royalties. It is the gift that keeps giving!

Also, everything seen and used on the show is a total write-off. Do you pay taxes? The 4000-5000 rent on the apartment and even dates with the new babe are write-offs if seen on the show. Free sex! Got to love the IRS!

This drama will run its course very soon and they will move into oblivion. I don't get TVs obsession with huge families and obstetric mistakes (doctor created multiples). I hope attention garnered by these shows will not encourage people to create huge families. Someone is going to have to pay for the choices of others and that will be the taxpayers. The children of huge families need to be educated, they need health care, they use up our natural resources. What makes "cute" entertainment is not good for the whole, especially in a time when our economy is going down the drain.

[jhallbo]

uber fail.

[Biscuit]

Jon... he's an inspiration. I mean, now I know that I could be a d-bag, leave my wife, and date hot chicks too. Or at least easy young chicks, if not hot ones. And here I thought all that would be wrong.

[Jaskoen]

Only if you first parlay your children into a million-dollar television contract. You need the cash to attract the trash.

[Christopher in NYC]

I'm bummed.... 10% unemployment accross the land and this dork just nabs an NYC pad like a parking space at Walmart...

Yeah, life isn't fair, but jeez....

[digvideo]

Not enough room for beds

[Christopher in NYC]

Sorry I haven't been following the series or read this entire thread, but how exactly is he going to afford the NYC batchlor pad and the cost of living in the city?

[Biscuit]

He makes about $3 million a year from the show about his kids.

[Christopher in NYC]

Wow... thanks.

[ccpostman]

A lot of money. The American Chopper Show and Jesse James make tens of millions each year.

This show is much higher ranking. They must make zillions now!

[KarateKid]

Is this guy a mixed race kid? He looks part Chinese......

[Jaskoen]

He's Hawaiian.

[HC]

his mother is Korean and he grew up in PA.

[midwestisbest]

He's half Korean

[tamdayc]

These kids are working in the entertainment industry and there are laws governing how much should be put away for them. Unfortunately those laws have not been extended to reality TV. I know there are people pushing for these laws to be revised. For the kids sake, I hope there is money left for them.

[cjks]

Hey two sides here always two sides and then the truth somewhere in between. That said they are both money grubbing jerks. For the sake of those children who they both have made a ton of money off of they should both keep low profiles and get off television.

[KttN]

This guy.... ugh, what a d@uche! That money should be going to the kids.

[NoMoreFreepers]

Agree with you a thousand percent!! He's a LOSER of the highest order. Any father who uses his own children for financial gain is worthless. He should have stood up to his shrew of a wife from day one and said NO to the fertility procedure and he would never have been in the mess he's in now. I can't stand wimpy men and this guy is the biggest one of all.

[berrycooda]

Living high off his reality show...Lucky for him there are 8 kids. Otherwise
there would be no need for Jon & Kate +8.
