Good Morning America Jon and Kate Plus Affairs

Ok, not really. Jon and Kate (and others like the Duggars) are people who are living unsustainable lives, as it's become clear to many that the sheer number of people on this planet are unsustainable. However, the news on affairs on both sides may be good for ratings. Good Morning America said:

In the weeks leading up to the season premiere, Jon and Kate Gosselin have appeared repeatedly on covers of celebrity magazines with reports that they have cheated on each other and that their nearly 10-year marriage is on the rocks.

Is the timing a coincidence or a publicity ploy?

A good point by Good Morning America, and one not missed by some. According to reports of comments by Kate Gosselin the affair(s) will be addressed during season 5, which begins on May 25th.

Yes, affairs, as it appears to cut both ways. While the rumors around an affair by Jon started two weeks ago with U.S. Weekly reporting that he had been in a three-month affair with 23-year-old school teacher Deanna Hummell (including pics!) this week, that same Us Weekly reports that Kate Gosselin has grown "close" to her bodyguard, Steve Neild.

Still, in this week's People Magazine, Kate Gosselin denied rumors of the affair, yet indicated her marriage was troubled.

"The next story coming out from the animals that stalk us is about our security person and his family. Already the allegations they're making about me are disgusting, unthinkable, unfathomable, and I am horrified."

If nothing else, all this publicity means the premiere episode on May 25th will be blockbuster, ratings-wise. Watch a video from when Jon and Kate (plus 8) appeared on Good Morning America during a happier time attached to this post.
