As if it isn’t bad enough Jon Gosselin already has a girlfriend while he’s still legally married to his wife, he now has his own bachelor pad too. Friends of the reality show star say he’s set up camp in an apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, where he moved in on July 2nd. However, according to his friends, he’s only spent one night in his apartment since then.

Being in the ritzy part of Manhattan (as if there’s any un-ritzy parts of Manhattan), Jon has taken up residence at a luxury apartment building called the Alexandria. It boasts a 24-hour doorman, a gym, a pool, a hot tub, and a playroom. Jon’s new digs are, not surprisingly, extremely secure, with residents of the building having to scan their index fingers to get into the gym.

A source claims Jon is a “friendly,” guy. Too bad he’s a sleaze ball that’s probably on the road to completely abandoning his kids in his quest to escape from their mother.

I smell a Father Of The Year Award here. Because every soon to be divorced man with eight kids should be living in a luxury apartment building by himself.
