Then there's the other Jon, the dad who wants to protect his octo-brood from licentious TV producers, prays with Rabbis for celebrity redemption, and rues relationships that only feed the beasts.

"I am well aware that my behavior over the past few months has not always reflected my personal and religious values,'' Jon said in a wordy public apology released Thursday. "I further accept that I have allowed myself to become somewhat severed from my own moral anchor and be carried away by the challenges of fame."

The pudgy reality cable TV star goes on to says: "It is for this reason that I have endeavored of late to reconnect with my deeper, more spiritual, more altruistic self with regular study sessions and counseling."

Now this new Jon will explore his celebrity whoring sins with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach in a Sunday seminar entitled, Fame: Blessing or Curse?

"It is my sincere desire to use the fame I have so unexpectedly acquired to highlight mature, responsible behavior as well as the joys of fatherhood and family. I ask the public to please understand the challenges I face in living under constant public scrutiny, even as I am aware that I have at times courted that scrutiny."

He wraps things up with, "I could tell you that these steps are absolutely sincere and not intended for public consumption. But I know that ultimately I will be judged not by my words but my actions."

Never fear, Jon. We are breathlessly watching and waiting to pounce when you trip on your new-found "altruism." (Pssst? Wanna guess what his fee is for the seminar?)
