 Looks like Jon Gosselin’s partying and bad-mouthing may have caught up to him. Beginning November 2, ‘Jon & Kate Plus 8’ will simply be ‘Kate Plus Eight’. The TLC network has official announced that it’s hit reality show will adapt to the split between Jon and Kate, and focus more on Kate’s role as a single mother. According to TLC president and general manager Eileen O’ Neill, “It's not a huge shift, but it's reflective of where the show was already going.” She added that “Jon's going to be involved in the show," but that he will be seen less often. The couple, who exchanged wedding rings over a decade ago, made their separation official on a ‘Jon & Kate Plus 8’ episode that aired in June. The split followed weeks of tabloid speculation regarding infidelities and other marital problems. On the show, the couple barely spoke to one another. They are currently in divorce proceedings. Discussions are also under way for another series starring Kate that may debut in 2010. “I think there's an opportunity for Kate beyond her role as a supermom to explore her other interests,” said O’ Neill. Perhaps as a response to TLC’s decision to change the focus of the show, Jon has suspended his divorce from Kate for 90 days. In Touch Weekly released a statement on Jon’s behalf that claims Jon “woke up one morning, looked in the mirror and didn't like the reflection. He realized he'd made some bad choices.” In Jon’s own words: “I regret my conduct since Kate and I separated. I used poor judgment in publicly socializing with other women so soon.”
