Jon Gosselin Wants to Turn Back Time

Poor Jon Gosselin always seems ‘8′ steps behind.

Following in the footsteps of his media savvy estranged wife Kate Gosselin, Jon is attempting to revive his image by making fun of himself in a new ‘Funny or Die’ video, a celeb damage control tactic that was popular like a year ago.

While the Gosselin family continues to be a pop-culture target, with everyone from Kathy Griffin in a bikini to even America’s sweetheart Taylor Swift mocking them, Kate decided to get in on the action with a successful spoof of herself last month on ‘The Jay Leno Show.’

Now it’s Jon’s turn.

Most of America thinks the ‘Jon & Kate Plus 8‘ star has thrown it all away, and Jon is so desperate for help, he’s seeing a Rabbi, dumping Hailey, doing yoga and… hanging out with Levi Johnston?

Anyway, Papa Jon wants to ‘Turn Back Time’ with a little help from Cher, the paparazzi and, of course, a hot blonde in a bikini. It’s actually pretty funny, so after weeks of poor publicity decisions, you have to give him props for once.

Meanwhile, in your daily overdose of Gosselin gab, Jon Gosselin countersued TLC this week for $5 million dollars. The network home of his reality show, which is expected to air its final episode on Nov. 23rd, first sued the father of eight for breach of contract.

Gosselin also confirmed that he and Kate will drop the hate for the holidays, as the couple plans to spend Christmas together, hoping to bring big smiles to those eight little faces.

What do you think of Jon’s parody of himself? Funny? Sad? Will it help change his image?
