Jon Gosselin talked to the press and posed for pictures yesterday while insisting that his wife was the troublemaker and he was just a concerned parent looking out for his kids. He did this poolside in LA by the way, while Kate was talking to the press in New York, and the kids were being taken to school by the nanny back in Pennsylvania. Radar says…

Despite his ongoing troubles with wife Kate, Jon Gosselin was all smiles Monday as he posed for a set of shots by a poolside in Los Angeles, California.
The 32-year-old reality TV dad, clad in a white button-up shirt
, black slacks and sunglasses looked more like a teenaged boy preening for Facebook pics than a father-of-eight.
“I’m not the bad guy here,” he said. “I’m the one trying to protect my children, that’s called being a parent, protecting my children. I need to pull them off the television so we can work this out.”

Can’t we just give the kids to the nanny? The kids seem to like her. Look, they’re smiling and hugging and kissing her. Can Jon even name all 8? If you gave him a pen and told him to name all 8, at best he could name the oldest two, then he would just write “Glasses” and “the one who likes Hamburger” before getting distracted and drawing himself holding two bags with dollar signs on them while girls in bikinis run around.
