Kids spend weekend with Jon. How did the paps know where to find them?

Jon and girlfriend Ellen took the kids swimming on Saturday:




Then hiking on Sunday:

Kate has been MIA for exactly a week now. Could Jon by watching the kids while she gets more work done?

From Werny Gal @ Small Town Gosselins blog:

Hi Georgia, I heard she and the kids are in Europe. I'm sure pix of wherever she is will come out soon. Where Kate is, radaronline is sure to follow.

=================

If this is true - at least the part that Kate is in Europe since the kids are/were with Jon this past weekend - am I the only one hoping that Kate bought a one way ticket?

melissa said...

So are Jon and Ellen living together?

Snark, snark said...

But, Mickey, if Kate never comes home whatever will you blog about?

Mimi to 3 said...

We'll find something to blog about, snark. I'm with Mickey, she can't go far enough away.

Bubbles said...

So if "Chris" is the supposed paparazzi who follows Kate around (after he gets the phone call alerting him to her whereabouts, that is) then who is getting these pics of Jon? I just don't buy that there are truly members of the paparazzi hanging out in PA waiting for them to show up.

Anonymous said...

I bet Kate has been "working" this past week somewhere to keep her name out there. Maybe filming some Twist of Kate shows or another show. No way is she staying home being just a Mother. She will show up any time now on ROL or another tabloid promoting her somehow.

pa mom too said...

I sure hope Jon and Ellen stay together...the kids looks so peaceful and relaxed with them.

Carolina Gal said...

Did any of you see the link for this article in the one above? About K+8 being under investigation and depending on how the AG interprets the law, possibly 'shuttered'.

I think the photographer followed the kids to Jon's apartment and figured he'd stay around and hope to get his pictures. Odd that Kate is missing in action but get ready for a big explanation probably next week. I heard that Tiger Woods mistress #1 has been fired by Donald Trump, so possibly Kate will substitute. The children do seem to be having a normal outing and swim with their father and look happy.

MickeyMcKean said...

Believe it or not Snark, there are other things to blog about other than Kate Gosselin.

Admin, I hope you allow this post as it something that most people do not know about but should know what Big Brother is doing.

Snark, the answer to your question is NAIS, which stands for National Animal Identification System. As I was typing this I realized how NAIS is going to impact Kate Gosselin's life because she now has chickens on her property! :)

After the last case of mad cow disease other countries got nervous about buying USA beef. So the USDA now wants every single animal in the USA to be identified and tagged. All animal movements will be tracked, logged and reported to the government, i.e., if you take your horse to the vet you must let the USDA know about it (by paying a small fee!) because it might be exposed to another horse!

Something to think about: since a horse is not considered food, why does the government need to know when and where I take my horse each and every time it leaves my property?

Whereas I agree that there is a benefit of this program to the big cattle operations, and they get to do one number for a large herd, it is going to impact the small rancher/farmer. See, small farmers and PET owners will have to tag and track every single animal. This program is NOT cost effective per animal so it will put many farmers out of business due to the costs involved.

There are NO exceptions - so the guy who sold Kate her organic cow will be required to pay the fees and file all the paper work on all his animals. Even PET owners - horse, llama, chickens, etc. - will be required to participate in NAIS.

So people like me who raise their own meat and have pets - and now that Kate has chickens on her property - we both will have to register our homes as ‘farm premises’ and obtain a Premise ID, tag all our animals and submit all the paperwork and fees to the USDA!

Get this: the USDA slipped this plan in the back door without any legislation. This is going to be a very expensive program to implement and guess who is going to pay for it in higher food prices ... YOU!

For more information or if you have any questions re NAIS please go to www.nonais.org

Please note I will NOT answer any questions re NAIS on this blog.

I can't believe no has commented about Ellen's bikini.
*****************
Ha,I've been waiting for someone to point that out and had been resisting doing so myself. She showed cleavage in front of impressionable young children! Why hasn't child protective services been notified about this outrageous behavior?

mary said...

I will comment about her bikini. Looks like her belly button is in the right place. Boobs are tucked in nicely. Her bikini fits nicely.

"Hypocrites said...

Ellen doesn't exploit the kids to pay for either her boobs or her bikini. Unless Jon pays for her bikini with his hush money from TLC.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

It never ceases me the massive amount of regulations this government imposes on people just trying to live. Government is way too big and bloated. And yet things that should be regulated somehow manage to squeak on through no one says a word. Oh wait that's because if a state has a conflict of interest in something (like letting a lovely family in their great state be filmed and shown to millions everywhere) everyone looks away.

browneyedgirl said...

I'll comment on Ellen in her bikini.
Look, Ellen is wearing a bikini while she plays with the Gosselin kids by the pool. She's actually, physically playing with the kids. Imagine that! All while wearing a bikini.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Hey look, Ellen feels the need to spend her entire weekend with 6 year olds without 1. going on a VIP vacation with them and/or 2. filming them. Swimming and hiking--two FREE things. You mean you can do free stuff with your kids and still be good for them?

Where is the camera crew????

Hypocrites said...

So, it's OK only if her looks are acceptable to some, Mary? I hope you don't pass that thinking on to any impressionable young girls.

And if Kate gets paid for the pap pics why wouldn't Jon and Ellen get paid? Why are they different?

PatK said...

LOL at "her navel's in the right place"!

Weren't the twins with Jon and Ellen?

LisaNH said...

The first thing that struck me about these photos is that the children look like children playing, having fun. They look relaxed, stress free. Their body language speaks volumes. With Kate they look guarded, tense and way too serious. In these pics they look so bright, like they are walking in a light cheery place, with Kate they always look like they have a dark cloud over their heads.

Queen of Random said...

A seriously random observation...in the bottom pic, the little girl next to Jon (either Alexis or Leah, but I can't quite tell) has some grass blocking her hair making it look like she has a shoulder length hairstyle. I think she looks so cute like that! Maddy & Cara have always looked cute with shoulder length hair when it's been that short, too.

TVSnark said...

For the record, the Snark, snark that posted earlier is not this Snark.

I'm not into blogging much but I still come here for my Gosselin news. I refuse to give any clicks to Radar or any other tabloid outlet.

LisaNH said...

As for Kate being MIA, I would render a guess that she is having that Botox situation (that made her look like a lot like Faye Dunaway in her infamous Mommie Dearest roll just when she would go into some sort of rage against her children). Maybe she is having those nasty ole brows repaired?

Yep, Hypocrites Indeed said...

----

So because the paparazzi don't have access to the pool at the house you are assuming that the kids don't swim for FREE there?

I love how nobody is questioning the fact that there just happened to be a photographer there to get somee pictures. Gee, do you think that's because Jon tips them off? Oh wait, I forgot, only Kate is guilty of such behavior.

Kate's European Adventure said...

What would there be to blog about? How about Kate's Extended European Vacation. Kate flirting with a gondolier in Venice, Kate climbing the Eiffel Tower, Kate chowing down on bratwurst in Munich, Kate finding love among the ancient Greek ruins, Kate yodeling in Austria, Kate having a melt-down because the Leaning Tower isn't straight. If it's all about her, there will be blogs that follow.

Just a second, Hypocrite. Mary made a comment on Ellen's bikini. No more, no less. There was no subjective analysis...no "thinking" to pass on to impressionable young girls. I think you tend to over-read the posts, looking for a fight. You keep it going and going and going until the superficial values and mind-boggling hypocrisy become your own.

cathy 518 said...

Kids seen walking through a meadow and stream with Jon and Ellen and then taking a swim. Just two weeks ago these kids spent their weekend walking around NY in 100 degree heat with Kate and the TLC camera crew Compare and contrast these experiences.
A side note: Ellen l Whooks great in her bikini. It is not too brief and she is young enough to wear one.

ellen looks great said...

Ellen looks beautiful in her bikini; she has a lovely, healthy natural looking body. And I'll say it: she looks much better than the manly, carved up, freakishly shaped Kate. But what is most lovely about her is the real smile on her face, and that of the kids' playing with her. She isn't looking out of the corner of her eye looking for a paparazzo. She appears to enjoy those children more than their own mother does.

cathy518 said...

Oops, Ellen "looks great" in her bikini. I should not take my contacts out before I post anything again.

Yep, Hypocrites Indeed said...

The moral of the story is that it's okay to wear a bikini if you have a body that meets the standards of the posters here.

Got it.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Hmm, no the moral of the story is don't exploit your kids and you'll never have to worry about the standards of posters here.

K8SUCKS said...

The criticism with K8 is that she is CONSTANTLY putting the not-a-boob-job boobs (that her kids paid for) on sickening display. She dresses and acts like a tramp.

Ellen is wearing a bikini that actually fits - she looks completely appropriate.

That said, I wish we were not seeing these pictures at all, as it just shows the kids are still show ponies, intentional or not.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Chris could have easily been camped at the house as usual, saw Jon pull up, and then followed him over to his apartment with the kids. Then he could have taken his photos there and followed them to the park. It's called a caravan. Jon didn't have to tip him off and he could not do a darn thing about it as it's a public road.

But we're supposed to believe Chris followed Kate to the Lancaster train station, then bought a ticket and followed her onto the train, then followed their limo all the way to the hotel, then waited outside the hotel then followed the limo to the ferry, then followed them onto the ferry and got all set up at the Statue of Liberty to get those pics?? Yeah right. Chris was invited.

That said, Jon is just as guilty as Kate for letting the kids be filmed.

From Small Town Gosselins said...

And now a break from the serious. Rumor has it that an inebriated Jon and an inebriated friend of his snuck behind the Gosselin home to play a prank under cover of darkness. Giggling like the drunken fools they were, they proceeded to release about half of Kate's chickens into the neighbor's property before Kate realized there was a fox in the henhouse and called the police. After the police arrived Kate decided not to press charges. It is not known if she dropped them because she realized it was Jon behind the chickens flying the coop. Questions that remain include whether or not Jon gave some consideration to how the kids would feel if their new pet chickens disappeared or were hurt or killed by real foxes, or how many more times the Lower Heidelburg police department will be willing to waste its time on residents who haven't contributed much to the neighborhood other than traffic jams and embarrassing tabloid covers.

Cathy said...

Went past Kate's house this weekend....absolutely no sign of anybody around. No paps, nothing. The trees have been strategically placed so that you cannot see the kids at all playing in the parking area by the garage. I think it will be difficult for the paps to photograph the kids, but I'm sure Kate will find a way to be sure they get a picture of her.

Irene S said...

cathy518 I am with you...The kids life is so much less of a pressure cooker with their dad....I love the bottom picture..reminds me of the Little house on the Prairie metaphor of the chicken episode...

With Kate: cameras filming the kids working through the meadow....and she is no where in sight...

With Jon: hand in hand...living for the moment with his kids...handcuffed to a contract with TLC. At least under his house arrest deal with TLC he still gets to see his kids..i guess.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

I think everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt. But please don't pretend that we are not now five years later from when many of us first were introduced to the selfish shrew child exploiter that is Kate Gosselin. Most if not ALL of us spent about two years giving her the benefit of the doubt, some even gave her three, and a few even fours years, before joining the ranks of those saying what this woman is doing is sick and twisted and just plain wrong. She has lost the right to be given the benefit of the doubt. I think it's obvious why, it's all been chronicled here day after day. The bottom line is she will sell everything that is most sacred about her kids to the highest bidder so that she can live the celebrity lifestyle she once used to only wish for. For some reason a very few people left out there take this very personally, likely because they identify with certain traits in Kate. While I find that disturbing that these women would put concern for Kate, who is a big girl and can take care of herself, over concern for eight little kids who cannot stand up for themselves, that is their right to have that opinion as long as they are not exploiting their kids to make it.

Kate has been criticized all over the net, TV, magazines. Everyone has her number. These people didn't just pop up one day and decide let's see who can I hate on today? Bin Laden, Pol Pot? Eh, how about Kate Gosselin? Come off it, this was a very slow process and Kate is responsible for the many bad choices she has made that has caused so many of us to have HAD IT with her.

Ellen absolutely gets the benefit of the doubt right now. I think she's great for the kids and she hasn't done a single thing to raise a red flag for me. If and when she makes repeated bad choices on the order of Kate, maybe we'll start snarking on her. Jon is hanging by a thread, I think it's disgusting he's just taken the hush money and gone on his way, but we cannot know what kind of threats TLC made when they negotiated this sick little arrangement behind closed doors. Maybe they promised him they would see to it he never works again and will have to beg for food in a homeless shelter, I wouldn't put anything past that disgusting child exploitation network.

Bottom line, Kate lost her chances. Her many, many chances. It's her fault, so go blame her.

I would donate the buck fifty I've earned from this blog to the Gosselin kids if I could be assured Kate wouldn't take her 85% cut.

mommyinca said...

Ohhhhh snap!! (good one, Admin!) So sick of the Kate defenders making a million and one excuses for her and trying to detract from the main point that has most people up in arms: Child Exploitation!
Murt is out to get his 15 minutes, Jodi and Kevin were out for fame, everyone else is a jellus hater...etc and so on. You can add all the smoke and mirrors you want but in the end, it boils down to one woman who is furnishing a lavish lifestyle off the backs of her children and their childhood. Hope the boobs were worth your chilrens privacy, Kate.

Anonymous said...

If Kate's fan club of six (or is it 5 now?) is gonna assume I'm not concerned about child exploitation, I'm gonna assume they're a bunch of busybody senior citizen cat ladies from Florida who have nothing better to do but troll around the internet bullying people who have an opinion different than their own. In between yelling at the neighbor's kid who is walking on their lawn. They are so obsessed with us.

Linda in NS said...

Admin said: Eh, how about Kate Gosselin? OK, now if you want to speak like a Canadian you have to put "Eh" in the proper place which is at the end of the sentence and not the beginning. In "Canadianese" Eh basically is an affirmation of the other party agreeing with the party speaking such as "know what I mean, eh?" I totally agree with your posting about Kate, though.

------------------
Kate's fans are few and far between these days it seems. I would hazard a guess that most of them are on to this grifter and the "fans" are fading away. I'd also guess the fans arent seniors; rather, they appear to be juveniles (at least in their thinking).

MickeyMcKean said...

Great post Admin!

You are right, we ALL started out as fans with open minds when it came to both Jon and Kate. Then at some point during the years we slowly began to see that something did not smell right in Gosselinland.

As Kate's ego started to inflate and she got more and more comfortable in belittling her husband on TV and in public, IMHO her own actions and words were shattering her image as a wife and mother to admire as far as I was concerned.

A couple of days ago I watched a couple of old episodes of J&K+8 and it was easy for me to remember why I used to truly enjoy the show. But it is now 2010 and a lot certainly has happened in Gosselinland. Suffice it to say that I see these 10 Gosselins from a whole different point of view so I was not entertained when I watched these shows.

Geez, if only we had all known then what we know now ...

My heart bleeds for the 8 children these days. No way, no how should their purpose in life be to entertain me as a viewer as they go about their daily lives. They are not actors, they are little children. There is no reason for me to need to know if they swam in their pool at home or over at their dad's apartment complex this past weekend and yet as I type this post I know the answer.

I hope and pray that Kate+8 will be taken off the air, either by Murt or TLC due to no viewers, by the end of 2010. Then and only then will Chris the pap need to find another "celebrity" to stalk and each one of these kids can go about their life without having cameras catching their every move.

Anyway, I agree that Ellen has done nothing to warrant any negative comments and I, too, give her the benefit of the doubt.

You might be interested to know that due to the troll activity here yesterday I ventured over to the dark side to see what the loverz were up to these days especially since Kate has been MIA. No, I was not surprised to read where the loverz were making all sorts of comments about Ellen, her body, bikini, even comparing Kate's body parts to Ellen's body parts and even one person commenting about waiting for a photo of a big toe ... and yet they have the nerve to come here to try to stir things up by calling us hypocrites?

Yep, it is one of those things that make me go hummmmmm ...

JMO.

Vanessa said...

Hmm...Ellen is what? In her 20's? Her boobs are REAL. She's NOT the mother of 8 children. She's not even playing the "part" of a mother of 8. She's in a bikini at a pool, not on a driveway, or prancing around the front of a house (with no cover on). Whenever she's been photographed she's ALWAYS been dressed appropriately...no minis and hooker heels to go to TARGET! Most importantly she's ENGAGED with the kids, she's enjoying the moment and NOT scowling, being miserable, wishing she was anywhere but THERE!

chesterctymom said...

I think the hiking picutres are from fathers day...the kids are lucky to have Ellen in thier life...

Hot In PA said...

"I think the hiking picutres are from fathers day."

They're not from Father's Day. During that hike, Ellen was wear a white cover-up and Jon was wearing a navy shirt.

Xanadu said...

"You are just as shameful as ROL in posting these pictures and stories about these children."

So by your reasoning, then, any major magazine, such as People or GH, or any television news station that reports on the family by showing photos (such as the recent work permits story) is likewise guilty of exploiting these children by making money off them.

Xanadu said...

Yes, of course they are. But, People and US Weekly make no pretense that they are doing this to "free the Gosselins kids", now are they?

I don't know, now do they? There have been many, many articles written that expose the Gosselin family circus, with the theme that it's time for this charade to end. As long as the major magazines exploit the kids openly and honestly, then, it's okay? Exploitation is exploitation, and I'm assuming then that you've written to each of the magazines and television networks voicing your disenchantment with putting photos of the kids out there for the public's perusal and comments, regardless of what pretense under which they do this?

I happen to believe the solution to the problem is not to turn our backs on it. Turning your backs on a situation is not how you fix it, look at history.

If people have a problem with posting the children's pictures, you might start by writing Kate and Jon. They are their kids and their responsibility to protect, which they have failed to do again and again and again. But aren't you just part of it if you are checking in here to see if there are any pictures of them? That's what's really hypocritical. Would it be ok to post pictures if no one ever said anything about anyone's bodies?

My kids Mom said...

The solution to "freeing the Gosselin children" is to continue to post pictures of them and there whereabouts? Deleting posts are a sure sign that you are attempting to sway the conversation. Why? Are you afraid that the real truth about this blog will be revealed?

IT'S A CIRCLE JERK said...

I’m not sure I’d compare the Gosselin saga with the events we read about in history books, wars, famine, plagues, depressions, etc.

Regarding the history of TV programs, however, I know that if the public does not watch a show, the ratings dictate that the show be taken off the air. And many times the actors in said shows revealed themselves to be talentless and they faded away.

Not so with Kate Gosselin. She touched such a nerve within the public that they had to create blogs to write about her…all day long…for years. That’s why she’s still around. The controversy is too much for the producers of the show to ignore. The continuing discussions and hashing and rehashing of everything she says and does has prompted TLC to pour money into the Gosselin “brand” (trashy and cheap) to keep the contention going.

Apparently there are a lot of people around who think that if Kate had been ignored, allowed to fade away due to the fact that she is a talentless shrew, she’d have continued on anyway instead of going the way of other no-talent wannabes. I happen to believe that she’d be long gone by now if there had been silence and continued dropping of the ratings, (which was happening during season 5). And when Jon stopped the filming of the children that would have been the perfect and natural time for Kate to fade away. The blogs that went searching and posting for things about Kate so they could keep her alive did just that – kept her alive. And she’s still alive and kicking.

Westcoaster said...

She may be alive and kicking, but I doubt she will be as alive and kicking as long as she thinks she will - fame is fleeting, and when you have no talent, and a blatently narcissistic attitude about yourself, it will be even more fleeting. The drop in ratings was a huge sign of where she is heading, and TLC will kick her to the curb as soon as she is no longer financially viable for them. She and the ex are in for a rude shock sooner than later I think.

Mimi to 3 said...

Oh hypocrites, take a breath. All that was being said was that Ellen did not have her boobs hanging out from a bikini 2 sizes too small like Kate does. She looks so absurd trying to look 20 again. You really need to get over your defensiveness. People deserve to have their own opinion without you bashing them because you don't like their opinion.

The truth about this blog? The truth about this blog is that the women/men who post here are intelligent, informed, and actually know what they are talking about, and they are fair...yes, fair. In the beginning, I also liked Kate when it was Kate and Jon and the kids and before she decided she was a star and before I watched enough to see her intrinsically nasty personality begin to unfold. TLC created a monster and try as they may to change her image, it's only momentary and only for filming purposes, because her inherent nature is that she is simply a bitch.

My kids Mom said...

Admin, I challenge you to cease posting pictures of the Gosselin children. If you want to post articles about Kate or Jon - have at it. They chose to put themselves out there for the public - the children did not. That you continue to post pictures and allow discussions about these children's lives makes you no different than their parents.

Westcoaster said...

Looks like the trolls are frustrated because the object of their affection has slipped from the radar, and they have to come here for a fix? Seriously, if that woman is indeed in Europe, I would like to apologize to any and all Europeans right now.

"That you continue to post pictures and allow discussions about these children's lives makes you no different than their parents."

LOL!! The last time I checked, Admin didn't drag the kids all over NYC in the heat, nor did she stand by while a child was left alone in the dark on the potty, nor did she tell one of the kids that she didn't even want to hear him breathe, nor did she put a sick child on a laundry room floor.

Your exaggeration and analogy borders on the ridiculous. What is your mission? Have you bombarded all of the blogs and internet sites with your "challenge," or is it just this one?

Have you ever noticed that when full moon is approaching, the trolls come out from under the bridge? It happens on a consistent basis. I wonder if the reason is scientific or metaphysic.

Homeless Trolls said...

"I am not a troll - I have been anti-kate for years now"

Obviously you don't know the meaning of the word "troll." Got a dictionary handy? According to urban usage, a troll is person who jumps on internet blogs for the sole purpose of provoking. A troll does NOT have to represent the opposing side.
Ergo, that makes you a troll.

..."I have come to believe about this blog is that the Kate-lovers come to this blog to get their daily fix of Kate."

Unless you are doing a psychological study of the addictions of bloggers, why is that your concern? Why are you here if you are so aggrieved by Admin and the persons who post therein?

Here's a thought for the 'trolls'...why don't you look up Jon & Kate's personal paparazzi Chris Watts and tell him to stop selling photos of the kids to the media outlets? Time to start clamping down on the one(s) responsible for the photos and the ones who are REALLY making a bundle off the kids.

Sadie said...

Thanks so much for posting a picture of the kids with Ellen at the pool having a blast of fun. The last picture in my head was when one of the little girls was hiding behind the fence listening to her mother bitch and complain about a garden hose and how she wished she lived in a one room apartment...that was a shitty thing to say...then she tried to retrack it but a wittle to wait there Ms Gosselin. Ellen seems to enjoy the kids for the moment and I noticed no nannys or bodyguard..just the Gosselins pap Chris...can't seem to get rid of him..I think Kate adopted him.. = )

Unless there is a personal vendetta against this blog or the administrator, it would seem that the troll(s) would not be selective in targeting this particular blog, but would seek out all of the media outlets, paps, internet sites, therefore making it their mission to shut down the real money-makers.

I think Kate flew the coop with all the money she saved from not having to buy organic eggs.

Speaking of which, who's minding those chickens while Farmer Kate is gone and kids are off HAVING FUN with daddy and Ellen?

Betsy said...

Kates fans are just mad cause they ahve no idea where there Queen went for the last week. I'm just glad that I don't click onto ROL and see her face coming out of Target, Tanning salons, Wholesale foods, and Target again...Hope this last for another week, I truly enjoy seeing the kids have normal fun with Ellen and Jon and smiling away..Thanks a mil for them pictures..bet the twins wish they could have been there...

Was Chris there taking photos? If not, it wasn't Kate.

It's US. Those who speak against Kate are the one who are exploiting, using and abusing those overworked, underloved children.

fidosmommy said...

Where was the photographer standing to get that picture of Ellen and two kids at the pool? Was it a lifeguard's chair, or Jon's balcony or somebody else's balcony? Hmmmm. Unless he brought his own ladder to the pool, he had to get permission from somebody to stand up that high to take the picture. (Or she)

Maybe that particular picture was taken by Jon himself?

Homeless Trolls said...

"It's US. Those who speak against Kate are the one who are exploiting, using and abusing those overworked, underloved children."

Well, duh! I think I've finally figured that out. The trolls have convinced me with their "challenges" to Admn to delete the blog. Never mind that they have showed no concrete proof that it is the blogs that just as guilty as the parents in exploiting the kids; never mind that they jump on here telling bloggers that those who post need a daily fix, never mind that they provoke, incite, and basically call boggers hypocrites.
Bloggers are the true exploiters of children. That's why bloggers have called attention to this travesty and I believe, are in part, for making a difference in that new child labor laws are to be enacted, thus insuring that ALL children on reality television are protected.

But you are not just "speaking out against Kate", are you? This blog is full of pictures and references to the Gosselin children. For all that's holy, these are 6 and 9 year old children - innocent, sweet children. Quit using them as discussion fodder to get your "Kate-bashing" fix.

PaMa said...

Geez ... could we please try to observe posting rule #2. Your point is made and the bickering back and forth is getting rather tedious.

2. No insulting other posters or picking fights, refusing to let things go and move on. Please watch the rudeness, the smart-aleck comments, holier than thou, correcting everyone's spelling/grammar as if you've never made a mistake in your life, you get the idea. Treat people here like how you would talk to the person you most respect in your life, it's just pleasant that way. When you're rude because you can hide behing your computer screen, it's just pathetic. I am tired of telling adults not to be little snots.

I repectfuuly disagree. If Kate wasn't putting her children out there on Kate Plus 8, with all of her glory, the children would have the basic rights to a childhood without cameras for all the world to see. Some of the bloggers feel the kids have a right to a private life, especially now that they are getting older and risk ridicule of the peers/classmates. We do not understand why both parents think filming is a good idea, especially when the twins are clearly resistant and want privacy.

And I believe no one will stop requesting that the kids NOI be filmed until the filming ceases. Period. These kids deserve a right to privacy in which they have not had a voice.

We will continue to blog until these kids get some peace, and a semblance of a normal life away from the cameras. Which their mother has chosen for them.

Kate's behavior, beyond her kids' well being, is another format.

Homeless Trolls said...

"Geez ... could we please try to observe posting rule #2. Your point is made and the bickering back and forth is getting rather tedious."

Absolutely. Sometimes it's hard not to feed the trolls, but in this case, we need to find a way.

So...is there any word out there about whether filming has been done on Twist of Kate, and/or when we may expect its debut? Usually by now some word would have leaked out as to where and when the filming was done, what we can expect from the first episode, etc., but things are uncommonly quiet. Anyone heard anything?

With the under age permit going on Kate and TLC likely took the twins on a trip to film an episode rather than film the six. And I won't be watching it.

There was a report floating around that she is in Europe, but perhaps she is off filming Twist of Kate with the twins?

Gayle said...

If kate were really as hounded by the paps as she claims we would know where she is. However, her PR team didn't call them and gave Chris a much needed vaction which is why there's no info on where she and the twins are. This has always been true which is why we have never known when she's gone for surgery.

BeDoneNow said...

The first thing I thought of?: I wonder if, 15 seconds after the top pic was taken, Ellen stopped and screeched "if you get me wet, you're dead" (Kate, beach vacation, played with her children for the cameras and then threatened them after the shot was complete). Second, Ellen's belly button is in the right place. Just so the children know where it is SUPPOSED to be on an adult. 3rd, who snapped these? 4th - Paps supposedly drool all over the latest Kate polish change or orange paint spray, but seem to miss EVERYTHING else the woman does. Like leave town! Why is that?

Never mind - we all know.

PA Mom ALSO said...

"Tend to read posts from most recent backward,"

I tend to do the same thing, but sometimes on this blog it's a bit difficult to tell who said what and why! No worries...I figured you hadn't gone back far enough, and didn't want you to think Theresa was on the dark side!

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

This pap could have taken the pool photo from any number of places, including a staircase. The assumption it's from Jon's porch is just ridiculous. And since none of the kids are covering their eyes, it's probably more likely than not they had no idea they were being photographed.

As I recall there were pics of the kids on Jon's porch, which faced the street, not the pool.

I cannot STAND Kate Gosselin, I think she's a worthless asshole grifter, but I wanted to include my name in those who feel that ANY attention you pay to her just keeps her going a tiny bit longer.

It's why, before now, I haven't so much as looked at this blog in days. And now we see this blog is getting a big makeover. How interesting. Why? To keep Kate Gosselin going even longer?

IGNORE HER. That means not blogging about her sorry ass.

Okay folks, I have been VERY liberal here allowing people to say whatever they wanted to say. I've allowed people to call me a child exploiter for even having this blog. I've allowed many violations of rule number 2 because I believe it's important to allow people to express themselves regarding whether people should watch this show and other very hotly contested issues regarding these child exploiters. But I'm getting a little tired of the personal attacks. The blog is getting a makeover because I want a change, nothing more, nothing less. Do you ever move your furniture around? Why do you do it? Because you're exploiting your kids? Give me a break, please.

I will allow discussions like this but enough with the ulterior motives of this blog or the people who post here--this blog was set up by a person concerned that kids were getting exploited, end of story. If you don't believe that, I really don't care, but stop coming here to tell us that over and over and over and over. You'll be deleted from now on because I'm tired of it.

OK. I assumed that the apartment had a front entrance with a porch and 2 floors with rear
entrances - a patio and a balcony. I had no idea there were outside stairs. I really didn't think it was a ridiculous theory, though, that somebody had to be granted access to get onto a balcony.

I'm mostly of Canadian heritage. Both parents were from Ontario, all siblings were, my brother has lived in Canada since 1972. But the family lived in the USA when I was born. So I'm American. I could probably argue I have dual citizenship. All my cousins still live in Ontario. Beautiful country, eh? :-) But Moosehead beer is for the stouter-hearted than I. BTW, I love NS. Peggy's Cove, all the other lovely little places tucked along the waters, Halifax (where Dad entered Canada from Scotland in 1928), Fort St. Anne, Port Royal,
ah yes.... wonderful place, that Nova Scotia.

keep the kids out of the public eye and feel any way you want to about the two supposed adults who have some part in their lives. Only problem I have is 'what' that part is, as they definitely are not parenting in the best interests of the kids. Question: 'why' would kate take the twins to film Twisted Kate? What input could they have for that show which is supposed to be kate going out and helping people with their daily problems? And 'how' is she supposed to help others, look at the state of 'her' life.

I happen to believe the solution to the problem is not to turn our backs on it. Turning your backs on a situation is not how you fix it, look at history.

If people have a problem with posting the children's pictures, you might start by writing Kate and Jon. They are their kids and their responsibility to protect, which they have failed to do again and again and again. But aren't you just part of it if you are checking in here to see if there are any pictures of them? That's what's really hypocritical. Would it be ok to post pictures if no one ever said anything about anyone's bodies?

"I think the hiking picutres are from fathers day."

They're not from Father's Day. During that hike, Ellen was wear a white cover-up and Jon was wearing a navy shirt.

MickeyMcKean said...

Great post Admin!

You are right, we ALL started out as fans with open minds when it came to both Jon and Kate. Then at some point during the years we slowly began to see that something did not smell right in Gosselinland.

As Kate's ego started to inflate and she got more and more comfortable in belittling her husband on TV and in public, IMHO her own actions and words were shattering her image as a wife and mother to admire as far as I was concerned.

A couple of days ago I watched a couple of old episodes of J&K+8 and it was easy for me to remember why I used to truly enjoy the show. But it is now 2010 and a lot certainly has happened in Gosselinland. Suffice it to say that I see these 10 Gosselins from a whole different point of view so I was not entertained when I watched these shows.

Geez, if only we had all known then what we know now ...

My heart bleeds for the 8 children these days. No way, no how should their purpose in life be to entertain me as a viewer as they go about their daily lives. They are not actors, they are little children. There is no reason for me to need to know if they swam in their pool at home or over at their dad's apartment complex this past weekend and yet as I type this post I know the answer.

I hope and pray that Kate+8 will be taken off the air, either by Murt or TLC due to no viewers, by the end of 2010. Then and only then will Chris the pap need to find another "celebrity" to stalk and each one of these kids can go about their life without having cameras catching their every move.

Anyway, I agree that Ellen has done nothing to warrant any negative comments and I, too, give her the benefit of the doubt.

You might be interested to know that due to the troll activity here yesterday I ventured over to the dark side to see what the loverz were up to these days especially since Kate has been MIA. No, I was not surprised to read where the loverz were making all sorts of comments about Ellen, her body, bikini, even comparing Kate's body parts to Ellen's body parts and even one person commenting about waiting for a photo of a big toe ... and yet they have the nerve to come here to try to stir things up by calling us hypocrites?

Yep, it is one of those things that make me go hummmmmm ...

JMO.

mommyinca said...

Ohhhhh snap!! (good one, Admin!) So sick of the Kate defenders making a million and one excuses for her and trying to detract from the main point that has most people up in arms: Child Exploitation!
Murt is out to get his 15 minutes, Jodi and Kevin were out for fame, everyone else is a jellus hater...etc and so on. You can add all the smoke and mirrors you want but in the end, it boils down to one woman who is furnishing a lavish lifestyle off the backs of her children and their childhood. Hope the boobs were worth your chilrens privacy, Kate.

Administrator said...

I think everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt. But please don't pretend that we are not now five years later from when many of us first were introduced to the selfish shrew child exploiter that is Kate Gosselin. Most if not ALL of us spent about two years giving her the benefit of the doubt, some even gave her three, and a few even fours years, before joining the ranks of those saying what this woman is doing is sick and twisted and just plain wrong. She has lost the right to be given the benefit of the doubt. I think it's obvious why, it's all been chronicled here day after day. The bottom line is she will sell everything that is most sacred about her kids to the highest bidder so that she can live the celebrity lifestyle she once used to only wish for. For some reason a very few people left out there take this very personally, likely because they identify with certain traits in Kate. While I find that disturbing that these women would put concern for Kate, who is a big girl and can take care of herself, over concern for eight little kids who cannot stand up for themselves, that is their right to have that opinion as long as they are not exploiting their kids to make it.

Kate has been criticized all over the net, TV, magazines. Everyone has her number. These people didn't just pop up one day and decide let's see who can I hate on today? Bin Laden, Pol Pot? Eh, how about Kate Gosselin? Come off it, this was a very slow process and Kate is responsible for the many bad choices she has made that has caused so many of us to have HAD IT with her.

Ellen absolutely gets the benefit of the doubt right now. I think she's great for the kids and she hasn't done a single thing to raise a red flag for me. If and when she makes repeated bad choices on the order of Kate, maybe we'll start snarking on her. Jon is hanging by a thread, I think it's disgusting he's just taken the hush money and gone on his way, but we cannot know what kind of threats TLC made when they negotiated this sick little arrangement behind closed doors. Maybe they promised him they would see to it he never works again and will have to beg for food in a homeless shelter, I wouldn't put anything past that disgusting child exploitation network.

Bottom line, Kate lost her chances. Her many, many chances. It's her fault, so go blame her.

Cathy said...

Went past Kate's house this weekend....absolutely no sign of anybody around. No paps, nothing. The trees have been strategically placed so that you cannot see the kids at all playing in the parking area by the garage. I think it will be difficult for the paps to photograph the kids, but I'm sure Kate will find a way to be sure they get a picture of her.

Administrator said...

Chris could have easily been camped at the house as usual, saw Jon pull up, and then followed him over to his apartment with the kids. Then he could have taken his photos there and followed them to the park. It's called a caravan. Jon didn't have to tip him off and he could not do a darn thing about it as it's a public road.

But we're supposed to believe Chris followed Kate to the Lancaster train station, then bought a ticket and followed her onto the train, then followed their limo all the way to the hotel, then waited outside the hotel then followed the limo to the ferry, then followed them onto the ferry and got all set up at the Statue of Liberty to get those pics?? Yeah right. Chris was invited.

That said, Jon is just as guilty as Kate for letting the kids be filmed.

Administrator said...

Hmm, no the moral of the story is don't exploit your kids and you'll never have to worry about the standards of posters here.

ellen looks great said...

Ellen looks beautiful in her bikini; she has a lovely, healthy natural looking body. And I'll say it: she looks much better than the manly, carved up, freakishly shaped Kate. But what is most lovely about her is the real smile on her face, and that of the kids' playing with her. She isn't looking out of the corner of her eye looking for a paparazzo. She appears to enjoy those children more than their own mother does.

cathy 518 said...

Kids seen walking through a meadow and stream with Jon and Ellen and then taking a swim. Just two weeks ago these kids spent their weekend walking around NY in 100 degree heat with Kate and the TLC camera crew Compare and contrast these experiences.
A side note: Ellen l Whooks great in her bikini. It is not too brief and she is young enough to wear one.

Kate's European Adventure said...

What would there be to blog about? How about Kate's Extended European Vacation. Kate flirting with a gondolier in Venice, Kate climbing the Eiffel Tower, Kate chowing down on bratwurst in Munich, Kate finding love among the ancient Greek ruins, Kate yodeling in Austria, Kate having a melt-down because the Leaning Tower isn't straight. If it's all about her, there will be blogs that follow.

Just a second, Hypocrite. Mary made a comment on Ellen's bikini. No more, no less. There was no subjective analysis...no "thinking" to pass on to impressionable young girls. I think you tend to over-read the posts, looking for a fight. You keep it going and going and going until the superficial values and mind-boggling hypocrisy become your own.

Yep, Hypocrites Indeed said...

Administrator said...

Hey look, Ellen feels the need to spend her entire weekend with 6 year olds without 1. going on a VIP vacation with them and/or 2. filming them. Swimming and hiking--two FREE things. You mean you can do free stuff with your kids and still be good for them?

----

So because the paparazzi don't have access to the pool at the house you are assuming that the kids don't swim for FREE there?

I love how nobody is questioning the fact that there just happened to be a photographer there to get somee pictures. Gee, do you think that's because Jon tips them off? Oh wait, I forgot, only Kate is guilty of such behavior.

LisaNH said...

As for Kate being MIA, I would render a guess that she is having that Botox situation (that made her look like a lot like Faye Dunaway in her infamous Mommie Dearest roll just when she would go into some sort of rage against her children). Maybe she is having those nasty ole brows repaired?

Queen of Random said...

A seriously random observation...in the bottom pic, the little girl next to Jon (either Alexis or Leah, but I can't quite tell) has some grass blocking her hair making it look like she has a shoulder length hairstyle. I think she looks so cute like that! Maddy & Cara have always looked cute with shoulder length hair when it's been that short, too.

LisaNH said...

The first thing that struck me about these photos is that the children look like children playing, having fun. They look relaxed, stress free. Their body language speaks volumes. With Kate they look guarded, tense and way too serious. In these pics they look so bright, like they are walking in a light cheery place, with Kate they always look like they have a dark cloud over their heads.

Hypocrites said...

So, it's OK only if her looks are acceptable to some, Mary? I hope you don't pass that thinking on to any impressionable young girls.

And if Kate gets paid for the pap pics why wouldn't Jon and Ellen get paid? Why are they different?

Administrator said...

It never ceases me the massive amount of regulations this government imposes on people just trying to live. Government is way too big and bloated. And yet things that should be regulated somehow manage to squeak on through no one says a word. Oh wait that's because if a state has a conflict of interest in something (like letting a lovely family in their great state be filmed and shown to millions everywhere) everyone looks away.

I will comment about her bikini. Looks like her belly button is in the right place. Boobs are tucked in nicely. Her bikini fits nicely.
