Jon Gosselin was a no-show at Thursday’s hearing in his legal fight with the TLC network. Gosselin’s attorney, Mark Heller, had previously said the celebrity dad would attend Thursday’s hearing in Maryland, but the hearing started without him. The network wants the judge to stop the ‘Jon and Kate Plus 8′ dad from making media appearances that it says violate his exclusive contract.

TLC, which is owned by Silver Spring, Md.-based Discovery Communications, says the contract remains in force.

The judge says Gosselin’s lawyers don’t plan to call witnesses.

Gosselin says he has a right to earn a living as a media personality. He also claims in a countersuit that TLC violated Pennsylvania’s child labor laws in filming his eight children.

He is also in the midst of divorcing wife of 10 years, Kate Gosselin.source / full story
