For the past several months, Jon Gosselin has taken the backseat to his ex-wife Kate. She has appeared on Dancing with the Stars and has even co-hosted the estrogen-filled show The View.

But where has Jon been? Well, considering that those eight kids need some sort of parenting and their mom has been busy riding the reality television train without them, I can only assume that Jon has been trying to be a father.

Apparently, he’s now ready to jump back into the spotlight. And he’s following in the tracks of his ex by writing a book. That’s right—Kate herself has written three non-fiction books and has another book scheduled for a 2011 release.

So what can Jon write about that Kate can’t? Himself, of course. Jon’s writing a book called A Slice of Life: Jon Gosselin’s Story, and he has some help in the form of his life coach Dr. Sylvia Lafair. The book focuses on having eight children before hitting the age of 30 and what it’s like to live the hard life that Jon lives.

Yawn. I keep hoping and waiting for these two media whores to slink away and never be heard from again. I guess we can’t be so lucky.
