The money battle between Jon Gosselin and wife Kate was scheduled to reach a boiling point in court today, but their hearing was postponed.
Court officials told TMZ that the reality couple would have their day in court another day, because the presiding judge in the case lost his wife to cancer this morning. The hearing will be postponed until at least next week.
Paparazzi caught up with Jon as he prepped to jet out of LAX yesterday, where Gosselin denied swiping the reported $230,000 from a joint bank account with Kate. "I did not take money!"
Three-thousand miles later, Jon landed at JFK Airport, where he denied reports that Kate is forcing him to give up his BMW and Mercedes, saying, "I don't think it's her fault."
Today, Jon's pal Michael Lohan tells "Extra" that TLC is getting in the way of allowing Gosselin to star alongside him in "Divorced Dads Club." Lohan says, "Jon, I think he's a great guy, I know he loves his kids! If they're letting Kate pursue a career, why don't they let him?"
When shutterbugs asked Jon about the rumored show, he told them that he's done with reality TV.

Well, I think Jon needs to grow up and grow up fast. He has this young girlfriend and money and he is not thinking what is best for his chidren! He says one thing and does another. For example…. He wants the kids off the show and wants to keep his life private and wants for Kate and himself to be daddy and mommy. Well, First Jon watch who you talk to. Stay off shows that expose your family,and stop talking about money and putting YOUR childrens mother down. We have seen you more now then on the show. REALLY Jon what do you really want? Get your priority straight. Be the daddy that you want to be without exposing yourself in the media. It really makes you look bad. Kate for the most part has kept herself pretty much in the down low. GREAT job kate. Now action speaks louder then words. Fight it out in the courts! Now in the media. Thanks Kate for fighting for your family and Yourself. Don’t listen to those who try to make you out the bad one. You work for your money! Love it!!!!!
