Former Jon & Kate Plus 8 star Jon Gosselin seems to have finally realized his image stinks. Which might just make it rather difficult to pay for his high-priced new lifestyle after being fired from TLC and cutting off estranged wife Kate Gosselin‘s primary source of income.

If Jon Gosselin is ever going to get a new job to pay for his luxury condo and custom motorcycle fetish, he’s going to need to clean up his act. So last week he let it leak he had a new “spiritual advisor” in the form of Rabbi Shmuley Boteach and wanted to reform his terrible ways and become a good role model again to his children by not being such a douchebag anymore.

Taking it a step further, Jon Gosselin gave a speech at the West Side Jewish Center on Sunday in New York, proclaiming he was an asshole and really should get his act together and stop treating Kate and girlfriend Hailey Glassman like crap. We won’t bother to repeat his boring excuses and tepid apology to wife Kate Gosselin here, but you can check out some of his lame quotes at SnarkFood.com.

We’d like to believe Jon Gosselin truly wants to reform, but we can’t help feel the timing is oh-so questionable. He’s going through a messy divorce rife with financial troubles. He no longer has any kind of real job and he won’t be able to slum off the income from his soon-to-be ex-wife Kate Gosselin and his kids much longer.
