Jon & Kate Plus 8 star Jon Gosselin (above left) made the scene at the 6th Annual Hamptons Happening to benefit the Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation (SWCRF) on July 25th with Lindsay Lohan's father Michael Lohan and his hot young fiancée Erin Muller (above right and center). The threesome attended to show their support for a cause which both Gosselin and Lohan regard as personally important to them. Honorary Chair Costas Kondylis, with Event Co-Chairs Laurie L. Schaffran and Marion Waxman led the evening, helping to raise $265,000 to benefit the SWCRF. Hosted by Susan and Louis Meisel, the festivities were held at The Sagaponack Sculpture Field with Dr. Samuel Waxman as the keynote speaker.

The SWCRF is a 501 (c)(3) tax-exempt organization that focuses on the most promising strategies for developing cures and treatments for many types of cancers, as well as preventative measures. SWCRF is at the cutting edge of research into alternatives to the traditional treatments of chemotherapy and radiation. Foundation-supported research includes reprogramming chaotically growing cancer cells to behave normally, understanding cancer stem cells, and mobilizing the immune system. These will hopefully lead to precisely targeted treatments or preventatives which will have minimal side effects on the recipients.

Participating restaurants showing their support at the benefit included Annie's Organic Café, Bobby Van's, Brandt Beef, Cavaniola's Gourmet Cheese Shop, Chef Pierrot Signature Catering, DuFour Pastry Kitchens, The Fudge Shoppe, Ichiban Sushi, il laboratoria de gelato, Kneaded Bread, La Masseria, Leo's Latticini, Magnolia Bakery, Manhattan Chili, Nichol's, Pure Dark, The Seafood Shop, Shun Lee, Susan Meisel, Town Line BBQ and Tutto Il Giorno. Beverages were sponsored by Palm Bay Imports, Imperia Vodka, Fire Island Beer Company, Hampton Coffee Company and Pellegrino/Acqua Panna.

We already know that reality TV dad Jon Gosselin has his own bachelor pad but now his soon-to-be ex-wfie may soon have her own home away from home. Radar Online says that Kate Gosselin is buying a condo in Rockville, Maryland, conveniently near the office of her bodyguard, Steve Neild. Sounds convenient, right? But wait, People Magazine however, says that she is not buying or renting in the area. She was just having lunch in a restaurant that sits below a bunch for condos for sale. A source tells People that is as all a big rumor and that Kate didn't even know there were apartments for sale in the area. Kate's friends say she'd never choose a place that far away from her Pennsylvania brood.

Jon Gosselin has a two-bedroom apartment at the Alexandria in New York City that he uses as a home base when he's not on daddy duty back in Pennsylvania. It is believed that he is renting. City Realty says that two-bedrooms in the building start at $1.225 million.
