Jon Gosselin is a concerned father - or so it appears in an exclusive interview for ET.

“I’m doing this to protect my kids because my kids have asked sometimes that they don’t want to be filmed,” Jon tells Mary Hart of ET. “My kids need to come off the show.”

His estranged wife Kate, in her own statement to ET, says her main priority is the children’s well-being. But Jon begs to differ.

“She says, ‘It’s financially rewarding. Blah-blah-blah.’ I’m like, ‘It doesn’t matter.’” He continues: “At what price is it going to be for your kids? I mean, are you going to sacrifice their childhood for a couple bucks?”

Former child star Mackenzie Phillips is defending her father, 60s musician John Phillips, with whom she claims she had a decade-long sexual relationship.

“My father was not a bad man,” she said on the Today show Thursday. “He was a very sick man. And if anyone out there can possibly separate his body of work from his personal demons, I think that would be the honorable thing to do.”

Mackenzie, 49, added that her father — with whom she says she also did drugs — “didn’t set out to hurt me. He did the best with what he had. He was a damaged guy.”

She also clarified reports that their relationship — which she details in her new book, High on Arrival — lasted 10 years.
“At 18, I was molested. Then maybe three years later, I started waking up later with my pants down around my ankles,” she said. “And then maybe two years after that, it became consensual.”

“So to call it a 10-year relationship is not correct,” she added. “This was a warped event that occurred over time.”

Despite the criticism, Mackenzie said on the Today show, “the outpouring of support from other incest survivors has been phenomenal.”"This is a subject that is so incredibly taboo, as it should be, but there needs to be a dialogue about it,” she continued. “The covers need to be pulled.”

It’s been two months since Paris Jackson lost dad Michael, but life is moving forward for the 11-year-old, who marked a milestone this weekend in Sin City. Seems the tyke had her very first haircut.

Alicia Jacobs, an entertainment reporter for a local NBC affiliate, happened to be in the salon at the same time as Paris and tweeted about the encounter.

“Paris Jackson is absolutely stunning!!” she gushed. “She is very sweet and respectful. MJ definitely did a great job raising her!”

News on the grapevine is that Grandma Katherine is considering shifting Paris and her two siblings to the private school, Buckley, which counts as alumni Paris Hilton and the Kardashians, apart from a few of the Jacksons.
