Reporter snags Jon Gosselin, loses job
July 25, 2009
You know you're in deep when Star magazine thinks you're too compromised to report its gossip.
Star reporter Kate Major resigned Thursday after revealing her romantic connection with Jon Gosselin of "Jon & Kate Plus Eight" fame.
"I didn't mean it to happen. It just did," the 26-year-old reporter said in a statement. "I went to do a story on Jon and ended up falling for him."
Star reported that Major had resigned after the "conflict of interest" became apparent, though the magazine still touted on its Web site: "It's a stunning turn of events that even Star couldn't see coming, father-of-eight Jon Gosselin and one of our reporters have fallen for each other."
