What Jon Gosselin wants: $10,000 to $12,000 for a radio appearance.

What he doesn't want: Octomom Nadya Suleman.

Reps for the reality dad, 32, demanded "10-12K" to guest-host the MJ Morning Show, a radio show based in Tampa, Fl., TMZ reports.

Why such a hefty fee? The rep explained that Gosselin is "quite funny, sharp witted and interesting" and his appearance would be a "high point for the show." The station had already offered two first-class plane tickets and hotel room plus limo service for their would-be guest star, and turned down Gosselin's five-figure request.

(Update: Gosselin's rep told Access Hollywood that the radio station's claim is "Not true, radio looking for press off Jon. We turned them down.")

Meanwhile, the father of eight is drawing the line when it comes to his love life. After Nadya Suleman, 34, revealed her crush on Gosselin to RadarOnline ("I think he's hot!" she chirped) Monday, Gosselin didn't respond in kind.

"No way!" he told the website today. "I want to get through this divorce and focus on my kids. . . it's kind of weird though."

Gosselin is currently involved with Hailey Glassman, 22.

    kate isnt a mom. she never takes care of her kids and the show is all about her. They both need to snap back in reality and realize there are alot of people who have alot of kids. My dad took care of 4 w/ less than 80,000 a yr. And they cant take care of eight with a million! they get everything for free for their kids anyway! They want me to feel sry for them? Ya thatll happen.

    to go with the rest of what i wrote. john is a good dad from what i have seen on the show. no one person is perfect in any way. i miss the old goslins that was on there. i just wish they were more shows to come and that they could rekindle what they had. but from johns point of view i can see cause i could not deal with the being yelled at all the time. but i do like katie to cause she is a awsome
