Last week we reported that TLC was possibly canceling Jon and Kate + 8. While that hasn't been fully confirmed, some new details in this angry love triangle between two crappy parrents and a cable network have been revealed.

Cable television network TLC on Friday sued Jon Gosselin, the father of eight who stars in the channel's reality show "Jon & Kate Plus Eight," accusing him of violating his contract by appearing on other programs.

TLC's lawsuit filed in Maryland, where the company is based, is the latest salvo in an ongoing dispute between the cable network and Jon Gosselin, who since splitting from his wife, Kate, in June, has sought to put the brakes on the program starring his family.

"The network has been trying privately and patiently for months to get Jon to honor the contract he signed and to comply with his obligations relating to public appearances and statements," TLC said in a statement.

"Those efforts have been unsuccessful," TLC said.

TLC's lawsuit accuses Jon Gosselin of violating his contract by taking money to appear on celebrity news programs "Entertainment Tonight" and "The Insider," where he talked about problems with his estranged wife and his family.

Jon Gosselin was under a contractual agreement not to talk about the show to the media without TLC's permission, but he violated that by making "false and disparaging statements about TLC and Mrs. Gosselin," the lawsuit states.

Jon Gosselin said in a TV interview last month that he despised his estranged wife, and he later told CNN interviewer Larry King that TLC paid his family $22,500 an episode.

TLC said in the lawsuit that the network, which is a division of Discovery Communications Inc, tried to work with Jon Gosselin about his media appearances, but did not give him blanket approval to speak about the show.

Gosselin's attorney Mark Jay Heller said in a statement that his client will "vigorously defend against this baseless action" and that it will be shown that TLC "exploited, manipulated and abused the Gosselins' vulnerability and financial hardship."

Now that Jon Gosselin has asked TLC to stop filming his kids, TLC said in the lawsuit, "plans to re-launch the program as 'Kate Plus Eight' have been suspended indefinitely."

No no no no no, they can't stop filming now - this is just getting good. I wanted to see TLC become a character in this terrible show - I just can't tell if they'd be the good guy or the evil villain. Oh, what am I saying, they're all the villains: Jon, Kate, TLC, even the kids...especially the one with the glasses. He's the worst one of them all. Oooooooooooh.
