TROUBE FOR JON: The TLC network has sued Jon Gosselin for allegedly breaching his contract as a star of "Jon & Kate Plus 8." The lawsuit alleges that Gosselin has failed to meet his obligations as an exclusive employee of the network, while appearing on rival networks' programs for pay and making unauthorized public disclosures about the show. Gosselin has starred since 2007 on the reality TV show, a ratings hit for TLC that has been rocked in recent months by marital turmoil as Gosselin and his wife, Kate, feuded, then filed for divorce.
