Jon released a statement of his own, in it says: “This afternoon, Kate filed for divorce. Our kids are still my number one priority. I love them and want to make sure they stay happy, healthy and safe. My job is being the best, most supportive and loving father that I can be to my kids, and not being married to Kate doesn’t change that.”

“This will be a difficult transition for all of us,” Jon’s statement continued, “but Kate and I will work out a schedule that enables our kids to have plenty of quality time with both of us at home in Pennsylvania. In terms of my marriage, it’s no secret that the past six months or so have been very difficult for Kate and me. We are no different than other couples and parents who are facing a crossroads in their marriage. I am of course deeply saddened that we are divorcing.”

Jon, who admitted that he “wasn’t always the greatest communicator,” added, “I’m excited and hurt at the same time because I have a new chapter in my life — I’m only 32 years old.”

Jon and Kate Gosselin, of the TLC reality show Jon & Kate Plus 8, publicly announced on Monday night’s hour-long special that they are divorcing after eight kids — five-year-old sextuplets and eight-year-old twin girls — and ten years of marriage. An onscreen graphic at the end of tonight’s show disclosed that legal proceedings to dissolve the Gosselins’ marriage have begun in a Pennsylvania court.

“Over the course of this weekend, Jon’s activities have left me no choice but to file legal procedures in order to protect myself and our children,” Kate said in a statement Monday night. “While there are reasons why it was appropriate and necessary for me to initiate this proceeding, I do not wish to discuss those reasons at this time, in the hope that all issues will be resolved amicably between Jon and myself. As always, my first priority remains our children.”

Checking out the shop’s selections, the former “American Idol” runner-up was also being filmed by 20/20 for an upcoming show.

Meanwhile, Adam recently took the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, and he couldn’t be more excited.

In the June edition, Lambert finally put an end to all the rumors about his sexuality in the new issue, verifying that he is gay-and he has no regrets.

“I’m really happy with it. The cover looks great. It was great working with [photographer] Matthew Rolston,” Lambert said. “And the title – ‘The Liberation of Adam Lambert’ – I do feel liberated. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.”

Many people wanted Lambert to come out publicly sooner. “It’s not like I was holding back before,” he explained. “I was being myself, but it’s nice to have everything out in the open.”

And although he may have come in second, that didn’t hold him back at all. The 27-year-old has received a record deal to RCA Records this fall.

“I’m thrilled that we’ve come to a creative and collaborative partnership and look forward to developing a really exciting album,” Lambert said in a statement Tuesday. “We are 100 percent on the same page and are all anxiously awaiting the start of the recordings. It’s going to be ridiculous! Get ready!”
