"Mommy, What's Daddy Doing With That Lady?"

Cute kids are always good TV---especially when they're multiples. Which explains TLC's programming niche where super-sized families are pimped as the new norm.

But even if your uterus doesn't pang in fits of reproductive rapture when you see a bunch of gap-toothed kids, and you mentally double-check if you took your birth control or not when toddler tears and tantrums are at full volume, TV stalwart Jon and Kate Plus 8 provides an engrossing subtext---how the heck have those two NOT killed each other yet?!

In case you don't watch their popular reality show, it follows Jon and Kate Gosselin as they raise their eight children together in a state of not so wedded bliss. Known for her insults, Kate -- think Martha Stewart but even more anal, as improbable as that sounds -- once criticized Jon for breathing on the show.

Well, Jon and Kate Plus 8 may turn into plus 9 . . . or minus 1, depending on what Kate does to Jon once she finds out he was seen leaving a club with another woman!

Jon made headlines before for hanging with college coeds -- even telling one "he was getting divorced," and now Us has pics of him leaving a local bar around 2 a.m.
with another girl...and without his wedding ring.

Reportedly the Octo-Dad arrived at the club at 11:20 p.m. and by 2 a.m. "could barely walk" as he exited the less-public back entrance of Legends Lounge, where he was overheard calling her "babe," before urging her to get into his car and speeding away.

Where was wifey? Promoting her latest book nearly 2,000 miles away, safely out of range to be able rip him a new one.

While TLC had no comment on the story or the couple's marital status, Jon sent an emailed statement to Us.

"I went to Legends to speak to the owner. A friend of mine wanted to check out my car, so I let her drive it to her car," he says. "Yes, I have female friends -- but that is all she is. I'm not going to end my friendships just because I'm on TV."

The show has been picked up for a fifth season despite Jon's complaints about the constant cameras (gee, guess who over-ruled him?). Yeah, those camera lights are just sooo annoying when you're trying to get your adultery on.
