TLC plans to collect statements from Jon Gosselin’s friend Michael Lohan (as well as Jon Gosselin’s girlfriend Hailey Glassman) in the network’s breach-of-contract lawsuit filed against Gosselin. A Maryland court has granted motions filed by the network’s lawyers to depose Glassman, Lindsay Lohan’s dad Michael, who once publicly discussed doing a divorced dads TV show with Gosselin. Statements are also being sought from Gosselin’s lawyer Mark Heller, manager Michael Heller, bodyguard Thomas Meinelt and talent rep Matthew Kirschner. Last month, TLC sued Gosseli for breach of contract, accusing the “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ star of making television appearances without TLC’s permission, in violation of their exclusive contract.
