EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Jon Gosselin's Stepdad: 'I Don't Even Know How To Get In Touch With Him'

Jon Gosselin is estranged from his ex-wife Kate, lost his legal battle to keep his children off TV, and now Breaking Celebrity News has exclusively learned that his own stepdad doesn't know how to get in touch with him.
Albert Castello is married to Jon's mother, Pamela, and lives in Pennsylvania too.
In an exclusive interview with Breaking Celebrity News, Castello revealed that he hasn't spoken with his stepson after Jon's public Twitter rant about the judge's decision to allow his children to remain on television.
"I don't even know how to get in touch with him," Albert Castello told us.
Pamela and Albert have been married since October 3, 2000. Jon's parents divorced in 1998 and his father Thomas passed away in 2005.
Jon's side of the family generally avoids publicity and until now it was unknown that Jon was estranged from his stepfather.
A court order is in place preventing Jon from speaking publicly about his children and the TLC situation, but a source told Breaking Celebrity News that he feels using Twitter doesn't violate his legal agreement.
His stepfather defended Jon's method of speaking to the public.
"Whatever he wants to Twitter or Facebook or whatever the hell it is that is his business," he told Breaking Celebrity News.
Jon says he is struggling to find employment since he isn't a part of the hit TLC show Kate Plus 8 starring Kate and the children.
"Jon's business is to deal with family matters. They have nothing to do with TV or what he's trying to do to make a living," Albert told Breaking Celebrity News.
