Adios, Jon.

The renamed show, which begins Nov. 2, will continue to ruin the lives of the Gosselin kids (5-year-old sextuplets and 8-year-old twins) and also focus on Kate's role as a single mother.

"It's not a huge shift, but it's reflective of where the show was already going," said Eileen O'Neill, TLC's prez and general manager.

"Jon's going to be involved in the show," she said, but added that he will be seen less.

* In a story that's certainly related, In Touch Weekly reports that Jon is beginning to realize he's been behaving like a jackass.

"He woke up one morning, looked in the mirror and didn't like the reflection," Jon's attorney, Mark Jay Heller, told In Touch.

"He realized he'd made some bad choices."

Behaving like a jackass is not a bad choice, sir, it's a lifestyle.

"I regret my conduct since Kate and I separated [on June 22]," newly sensitive Jon told In Touch. "I used poor judgment in publicly socializing with other women so soon."

Yesterday, Jon tried to postpone his official split from Kate for 90 days.

"This will enable Kate and me to restore our relationship as cooperative parents and to open up our lines of communication," he said.

"I hope that she will be as receptive and enthusiastic as I am to do what is best for our family."

Blah-bidy blah you-can't-do-the-show-without-me blah.

"I would like to get back with Kate as a partner in parenting," Jon told In Touch, seemingly forgetting he recently said he despised Kate on national television. "Even though we were heading for a divorce, it appeared that Kate had been suffering from this divorce as much as I had.

"That's why I asked my attorney to put the brakes on this divorce so I could try to regain control over the future of our family. So Kate and I could join on a cooperative course that would benefit our family - not destroy it."

Yes, Jon's picture is now in the dictionary next to "shameless."

Jon claims he's done being a playa and believes that his penchant for partying with young hotties was a result of his being dumped by Kate.

"When Kate broke up with me, I begged her to go with me to counseling," Jon the Victim said. "She was totally against it. I think I was reacting to the pain I have been suffering as a result of Kate's rejection of me."

Jon's lawyer said Jon wants the 90-day extension to be a sort of peace treaty: "He is hoping to inspire his wife to become less rigid, inflexible and controlling and open up. We're hoping Jon and Kate can sit down together and start exploring what to do about their situation. Once they do that, the rest will fall into place."

Tattbits

* Crystal-studded boots that Michael Jackson intended to wear on his planned comeback tour fetched $14,650 at a celebrity fundraiser chaired by his sister, Janet.

The charity event, held during Milan Fashion Week, attracted such luminaries as Donatella Versace, Linda Evangelista and ubiquitous big mouth Kanye West.

Organizers say the event Monday netted a total of $1.1 million for the American Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR).

* A weekend benefit concert raised nearly $8 million to support Andre Agassi's public charter school in Las Vegas.

Officials say Agassi's foundation, used to support the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy, also received a pledge of $7.5 million over five years from the Engelstad Family Foundation.

The Saturday concert at the Wynn Las Vegas casino featured Dane Cook, Daughtry, Tim McGraw and Brian McKnight.

* Andrew Tosh, a son of Peter Tosh, the reggae legend who promoted the legalization of marijuana, was found guilty in Jamaica Monday of possessing a small amount of weed.

If Jamaican reggae stars can't toke what is the world coming to?

* Lady Gaga will be named Billboard's "Rising Star" at the 2009 Billboard Women In Music event, taking place Friday in NYC.

Billboard will also honor Beyonce with its Woman of the Year Award.

* The New York medical examiner's office ruled yesterday that DJ AM died accidentally from a lethal cocktail of prescription drugs and cocaine. The toxicology report showed AM had in his system cocaine; Levamisole (a drug used to cut cocaine); OxyContin, Hydrocodone or Vicodin from the painkiller food group; antianxiety drugs Xanax and Ativan; Klonopin, which also controls anger; and Benadryl.

Because with cocaine around, you wouldn't want to start sneezing.

* The Hollywood Reporter says NBC, the network with two hours of ideas for three hours of prime time, has ordered "Perfect 10," a high-stakes, big-money game show built around household chores.

So instead of taking out the trash, NBC has chosen to air it.
