[USMAGAZINE] Jon & Kate Plus 8 dad Jon Gosselin is admitting he "showed poor judgment" by leaving a bar at 2 a.m. with a mystery woman and without his wedding band -- while his wife Kate was across the country promoting a book.

"Like most people, I have male and female friends, and I'm not going to end my friendships just because I'm on TV," the dad of 8 tells Extra. "However, being out with them late at night showed poor judgment on my part."

A clubgoer tells the newest issue of Us Weekly that Jon "could barely walk" after spending nearly three hours with a mystery woman he referred to as "babe." After being spotted by photographers, the two hastily sped off in a car without turning on the headlights.

It's about damn time!!! If you have ever seen this show this is less then a surprise?! I was expecting, "Jon and Kate Dad buries wife in the backyard" story before this one. That lady is a straight ice queen!! Good for you Jon, maybe she will learn to appreciate your patience and that you arent one of her 20 kids.
