we are all fully aware of the familial troubles of the gosselin fam, but the tabloids don’t think we’ve had enough.

exhibit a through z: the millions of covers the husband & wife team have appeared on in the last month. okay we get it – they may or may not have royally screwed up. wanna know why they keep digging in the gosselin gossip? they are tabloid gold.

the lucky mag that broke the story of jon’s alleged affair sold over 1 million copies, which is a 100k boost from what they were selling before. all others that followed? just as prosperous. us weekly editor janice min believes that jon & kate’s reality tv show helped readers feel a close connection to the family. when things started to go wrong, it hit people a little harder than would, say, lindsay lohan’s latest breakdown. the saddest thing? the gosselin’s troubles seem far from over. and people magazine is the latest to cash in with their cover story on jon’s side of the story. it just won’t stop!
