Gosselin makes ‘appearance’ at T.G.I. Friday’s for charity

LANCASTER, Pa.

Former reality star Jon Gosselin has shown up at a popular restaurant chain, not as a diner but as one of its cooks.

Gosselin, formerly of TLC’s “Jon & Kate Plus 8,” says he recently worked for more than a month as a cook at a T.G.I. Friday’s in Pennsylvania.

The restaurant in Lancaster is about a half-hour from the hospital where his then-wife, Kate Gosselin, gave birth to sextuplets in 2004.

The 39-year-old Gosselin told Dallas radio talk show hosts Kannon and Sybil on Wednesday that he worked at the restaurant to help a friend and because he loves to cook. He said his paychecks went to charity.

The restaurant’s manager told the New York Post that Gosselin had been working for him a few days a week.

Filmmaker Moore says Trump has good chance of winning

LOS ANGELES

Filmmaker Michael Moore is causing a stir with his comments about Donald Trump. The famously liberal Moore says he’s sorry to say it, but he thinks the Republican could win the presidency.

In a Wednesday night appearance on an online edition of HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” Moore said he thought the verbal attacks on Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton at this week’s Republican National Convention play to “a lot of people” Trump has to win over to become president.

“I think Trump is going to win. I’m sorry,” he said. “People are in denial of this, but the chance of winning is really, really good.”

The director of “Bowling for Columbine” and “Fahrenheit 911” compared Trump’s strategy to the successful campaign for Britain to leave the European Union.
