I've really tried to slow things down with the Gosselins and the Kardashians. I realized it was complete overkill - but Jon just makes me so crazy I have to post this.

He's already apologized to the WORLD about his fame seeking ways. He's already promised to get back to a healthier place with his family and seek counseling. WHY is he doing it again publicly? If he doesn't want the fame, why keep making public statements?

While attending a public dialogue with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach at New York City's West Side Jewish Center, Jon had a few things he needed to get off his chest:

On why he's famous: "I think I'm just misunderstood. I'm not a fame seeker. Everyday I look in the mirror and I wonder [why I'm famous]. I don't sing. I don't dance. I'm not a Nobel Peace Prizewinner. I just had eight kids and I had a show on TLC."

On taking responsibility: "Half the stuff I've done, if I look at my moral compass, I shouldn't have done," he said. "I know that but I did it anyway. It's like fame canceled out conviction."

On mending his relationship with Kate: "I want to apologize to Kate in private. "I'll apologize to her for openly having relationships in the public eye. That was a huge mistake, because if she would've done that to me, I would have been extremely pissed off. Not because our relationship is over, it's almost like a stab in the back. And now that I think about it, it was a very wrong thing to do. I definitely regret it."

"It's hard for me because I can't forgive myself for the things I've done. So to ask for forgiveness from someone who may never forgive me is tough for me. I do apologize to Kate. I'm sorry for doing the things I did. I do ask for her forgiveness."

On Hailey Glassman: "We decided not to take a break, just slow things down, until I get through my divorce and I know everything is settled and okay. I don't want another failure in my relationships. I don't want to make the same mistakes I made with Kate, with Hailey. I would just be repeating the pattern over again."

Does this change anything for you? Why does Jon keep using the press to apology after people stop showing interest in him? The story is old and over - yet Jon keeps doing things to remain relevant. If he really wants to fix things... then FIX them and stop releasing statements. Go and FIX THEM. We don't need a heads up that it's going to happen! Am I the only one that feels this way?
