Gossip Cop loves when tabloids accuse others of “stooping,” even when they’re the ones who’ll say anything – however fictional – for a “story.”

“Get out the barf bags,” In Touch warns, because “Jon Gosselin and Nadya Suleman will try to fall in love on a reality show.” That’s right. The weekly’s weak stomach comes from its “exclusive” that Gosselin, willing to “stoop to just about anything,” “has agreed to star in a cheesy new reality show in which he’ll date [Suleman.]” The man behind the supposed Jon – Kate = Jon + Octomom pilot (and, yes, we just got a bit queasy typing that), Bobby Goldstein, had heard Suleman was attracted to Gosselin, “And I had the idea that this could be a very entertaining fiasco.”

Well, he has the “fiasco” part right. In Touch reports the series will follow father-of-8 Gosselin as he “contemplates what hooking up with Octomom could really be like,” while mother-of-14 Suleman pursues her “obsession” with him.

And how does the mag explain how such a patently ridiculous project will get made? It cites Goldstein’s belief that Jon’s quest for fame will prevail: “I think that he wants to remain in the limelight.”

Yeah, almost as badly as the tabs and producers who feed on this nonsense want to remain in the limelight.

It’s not true. There is NO show commitment between Gosselin and Suleman, no matter how many proposal e-mails went back and forth.

We busted last week’s speculation that Gosselin was headed for a reality encore, and we’re more than happy to bust these new, even more absurd rumors. Gossip Cop just confirmed – again – with Gosselin’s representative that this story is “not true.”

UPDATE:  Jon Gosselin has put out a statement, which reads in part:

“I am troubled to learn that the media has accepted as true the scurrilous rumor that I would appear in a reality television program with Nadya Suleman. This is utterly false.”
