Jon Gosselin's legal woes have made their way to Illinois.
One of his ex-girlfriends - Kate Major, the former Star magazine reporter (a/k/a Kate 2.0) - is being supboenaed for deposition testimony and production of documents with respect to the ongoing lawsuit against Jon filed in Maryland by the TLC production company, Discovery Talent Services.
Kate Major is apparently a resident of Glenview, Illinois and, according to the subpoena, is believed to be "in possession of information and/or records" relevant to the allegations that Jon breached his contract with Discovery Talent when he appeared on Larry King and many other shows - or, as they put it in the subpoena, when he "repeatedly rendered unauthorized services for various media outlets."
According to Schedule A of the supboena, Discovery Talent wants to know what Kate 2.0 knows about:
- Compensation for Jon's appearances on Entertainment Tonight and/or photos in UsWeekly, among other things
- Proposals made by Jon for possible future shows such as "Jon - Kate = Jon + Octomom" and "Divorced Dad's Club"
- Several possible endorsement deals, including Ed Hardy and The Jewish Values Network

Woman Seeks American Drycleaner Magazine to Aid in her Asbestos Action
A woman suffering from mesothelioma subpoenaed Crain Communications today to produce all issues of American Drycleaner magazine published from 1960 to 1981, including advertisements therein.
Virginia Niusini worked at her family's dry cleaning business throughout the 1960's and 1970's where she believes she was exposed to asbestos in press covers. She is hoping to review the trade magazine back issues in order to identify the manufacturer and distributor of the press covers she used during that time.
According to the subpoena, Niusini's attorney discussed her need to review the issues with Crain's agent. The agent indicated that the issues are physically present in Chicago but would not allow Niusini to review them without a valid subpoena.
