Ellen is much prettier than I thought. She's funny too but I would have liked to see one of the dogs pee on the Star Magazines. Then again, the Sheeple would accuse her of exploiting her dogs for fame and fortune.
I like Ellen and wish the fan blogs would give her a break. She's obviously good to the kids and Jon. The Kate fanatics can only hate her because they think that's what Kate would want them to do. From this video I see a very nice young woman and I hope this doesn't cause the sheep to start bleating louder.
This girl needs an old fashioned diary where she can keep her personal feelings and thoughts private. This current trend of cyberspacing your frustrations is wearing thin.

Absolutely, Fido. I was thinking the same thing. The two of them were doing such a good job staying out of the media, out of anything that would be fodder for gossip. Why is it that people can't take the high road and just ignore rumors? They would come off so much better for it. They feel that they MUST respond. The only thing that this accomplishes is giving fuel for retaliation from the other "side," leading to a back and forth verbal debate. Nobody wins.
I hadn't even heard or read about a problem with her dogs. All this did was to bring it out into the open. Just let it go and move on!!
Ellen's response was FUNNY!! She's pretty spunky for a young woman. She's damned either way so WHY NOT make fun of the idiotic report from Star?! AND where the hell did the Star reporter get this insider info? Are Star reporters so desperate for news they just make it up & assume Ellen won't say anything? Is she supposed to lay down & let them F*?! her over?!
Ellen chose to live as a private citizen. She didn't ask for anyone to bash her or her dogs. No one can begin to understand how she must be feeling when slanderous reports continuously invade their lives. Sometimes when one is silent it allows others to fabricate lies. When will it ever stop. Probably never.
No meltdown. HUMOR!! I'm laughing with Ellen. It would've been funnier if the dogs left a HUGE pile of poop on Star Magazine's front page headline, "Stars Lose Fight with CELLULITE." Bullseye on Katie Irene's photo! LMAO!
First rule of PR is if you want to sustain public interest in you, never respond to gossip. So maybe they know this and want people to get bored with them and tune out. We know Kate would never do anything this direct!

They have done a good job thus far not responding and not taking the bait, but I think the US mag article was just too inflammatory for them to remain silent.
This is actually a very interesting twist in the Jon & Kate saga. Jon has lived a private life for about a year now. As a private citizen, why is he fair game for these types of dirt dishing articles? While I hope his vehicle isn't about to be repossessed, even if it is, is that something America needs to know? Maybe Jon needs to take a cue from his hate filled, vindictive ex and require anyone who enters his airspace to sign a confidentiality agreement. This is how Kate keeps her 100s of loads of dirty laundry private and out of the pages of the tabs. I think that is the only way to put an end to these articles based on info from "a source."
I too, didn't realize just how pretty Ellen is. Her skin is to die for! How lucky Jon is to have such a young, fresh and natural looking girlfriend. It's quite a contrast to the nipped, tucked, pulled, injected, silicone filled, orange, hard and old looking straw haired Kate. Good for him!
I was over at GWOP yesterday looking at old posts (I'm not feeling too great) & there was 1 post that struck me. Someone wanted a story or a sentence or a WORD, anything about Kate who may have had a run-in with her at some point, like a neighbor or fellow nurse, or someone at a book signing, instead of something negative. Well, there was nothing. UNTIL a certain blog owner came over & said some things about meeting Kate twice at a book signing. Come to find out, the second time she had lied about the whole thing. She had photshopped her child into the picture with Kate, lied about her conversation w/ Kate, & nothing happened as she said it did.
She was trying to defend Kate, saying she was sweet, nice & funny, with NOTHING to back it up. Then made a point about how the G8 couldn't even take gymnastics because of security reasons, which helped OUR point because Kate put them in that position in the 1st place!
So, I am re-asking the question. Does anyone have anything positive to say about Kate? Seriously. We know the negatives. We have facts to back up the negatives. We know the kind of the person she is. But there has got to be something good in there, & as a hippie chick I believe everyone has good somewhere. Or am I just going to hear crickets...

That's what they do! That's how they stay in business! Just because they are reckless in their reporting doesn't mean that those who are the subjects of their rantings should follow suit. One rises above that and ignores them. They want a response. Why stoop to their level and give them what they want?
Katie Holmes just filed a $50 million dollar libel suit against the Star. She didn't engage in a cyber debate with them and post a video online. She claims she was wronged, and she hit them where it hurts. They would only laugh at a video response, knowing that it would be good for their business and sell more magazines. I don't think that they are laughing now.
"She's damned either way so WHY NOT make fun of the idiotic report from Star?! AND where the hell did the Star reporter get this insider info? Are Star reporters so desperate for news they just make it up & assume Ellen won't say anything? Is she supposed to lay down & let them F*?!"
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
The Star reporter didn't get the inside info. The story appeared as an "exclusive" in the March 3 edition of US magazine, which is why there are two copies of it in the dog crate:
"Instead of splurging on expensive dinner dates, Gosselin, 33, spends most nights shacking up at girlfriend Ellen Ross' home, where a source says "her yappy dogs pee on his stuff."
I just had dinner with Katie last night and she was FUNNY, sweet, drop dead gorgeous and... oh, that's right it was my 'granddaughter' Katie and she's YOUNG as well as all the above!
@ mama mia. So now you're a PR expert? PLEASE give Katie Irene your expert advice! She really needs you now more than ever. She RESPONDED to reports/gossip from online blogs in her interview w/ The Talk. "90% of what you read online is not true." Hahahaha, she gave herself away. Now EVERYBODY KNOWS she sits at home, alone with her aloneness, reading the blogs. AND everybody KNOWS Katie responds to everything she reads/hears on talk show rounds ONLY WITH pre-approved, rehearsed responses to interview questions.
@ Molly. Better to laugh about a silly article than have a meltdown on camera. Katie gave EVERYBODY something to talk about when she was miserable in Alaska, bragged about being miserable, insulted a little girl because she was miserable than left a campsite the G8 enjoyed...BECAUSE she was MISERABLE. "This was the most inappropriate thing she could have done."
"And how does this help the kids?" She's defending her dogs. It has nothing to do with the kids...get it straight.
LOL!! That was good! Ellen didn't say a word about JON or the kids. It was all about her dogs and the title was "Yappy little Pissers". Just defending the dogs, that's all.
She and Jon don't respond to every little thing, but I can see why she'd make a funny video for this one.
It's baseless and rude to allege that her dogs pee all over everything, so I can see why she'd nip that rumor in the bud before it took on a life of its own.
I don't blame Ellen for answering back at the article. After all, Kate has gone to every media outlet to bash and trash Jon every chance she gets while Jon is seemingly hogtied from saying anything about her. It is blatantly unfair for one side to be able to say anything they want about the other while the other one is barred from telling the truth as he sees it. Besides, we all know if Kate's lips are moving, she's lying.
"This was thee most inappropriate thing she could have done."
********************
Really? What about ridiculing Kate's boob job or cellulite, or discussing Kate and Jon's sex life, or the size of his male-ness (as Hailey did), or the kids' behavior that got them expelled from school? You really think that commenting about the dogs is the MOST inappropriate thing she could have done? Very interesting...!
"I think this video says quite a lot about Ellen and Jon."
************************
Exactly what does it say about Jon? Funny, but I didn't hear his name mentioned at all, even though the article in US reported that the dogs pee on "HIS stuff." She never mentioned him, or their relationship.
Just like we get a kick out of Kate acknowledging she reads the blogs when she goes on a TV show, whoever said her dogs are yappy little pissers gets a kick out of Ellen acknowledging she knows what they said. Why give in now after she (and Jon) have been doing so well at keeping quiet? Nipping a rumor that her dogs pee all over? Really! That’s the least of the nasty things that have been said. It’s so silly and immature.
I think Ellen has a great sense of humour, and, unlike Kate, she kindly didn't show us the toilet training process with her fur kids.I can't believe that this is becoming a big discussion topic! My guess is that she wanted to add a little levity to an otherwise stupid and vindictive accusation.
I thought Ellen’s video was funny however I also feel that it shows you that Jon and Ellen really don’t want to have a “private” life. If they did, they would have never made that.
crates are used to potty train dogs because dogs will usually not pee in the place they sleep/stay.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
The operative word here is "usually." I had a little Yorkie who would deliberately pee in her crate. She'd pee in the corner, then would avoid that area when she went to sleep! I eventually did get her housebroken, but, boy, she was a feisty little thing, and so contrary!
This is a totally off topic comment bear with me but I've been meaning to point this out. I watched Kate's meltdown in Alaska for the first time since I recapped it. Naturally there's a lot to say about it that has already been said, but something really struck me this time around. Kate clearly says to the camera, "the kids are having fun." She was not having a good time, but she is clearly aware that her children are and she even admits it. I feel like it would be better if Kate stormed off the set if she didn't realize or was oblivious to the children's good time. But this woman ADMITTED she knew the kids were having fun, and she still put herself and her wants first and dragged them off with her. I just find this egregious.

"They" didn't make anything. It's Ellen's video. Jon's name is nowhere on it. Ellen is an adult, has her own free will; she made the video and she never mentioned Jon. The video was funny; let's stop trying to read more into it.

That's a great point, Admin. It makes her insistence on leaving even worse since she was in full knowledge the kids were enjoying themselves.
Is it possible to post just that tiny part of the clip and make a new blog entry/discussion point about it?
Instead of ripping Ellen to shreds, why not praise her remarkable sense of grace throughout this entire debacle?
I can't imagine ANY other young woman her age being able to deal with this situation so well. She has shown amazing restraint and has been a positive influence on Jon and his childrens lives.
We dont have to worry about the sheeple bashing her or Jon for the video, they already are. Even before the video Ellen was being put down and made fun of with the gusto of a 5th grader in elementry school. Now they say just because she is defending the dogs, the story MUST be true.
Last I checked if a dog pees on your stuff, you can throw it in the wash. Add a little baking soda good as new. If it's something not washable, a two part vinegar one part water solution clears it right up. I had a 12-week old puppy at one point and learned this. It's not a national crisis, I'm sure those two adults can handle it. I do feel for Ellen about being tabloid fodder at such a young age. Now imagine being tabloid fodder at age six.
I'm sure Jon didn't complain about it either. Dog pee is nuthin' compared to the loads of shite Kate piled on him. ----------------------------------------------- AuntieAnn you are priceless. Thanks for the laugh....well a guffaw actually. :)
Ingrid said... "the kids are having fun." I still don't understand why Kate didn't just leave the kids there to have fun. There were enough adults to help with them. Oh wait... She probably doesn't want them to get more attention than she does. ------------------------------ Actually, I think for children this small there has to be a parent present every minute of filming.If Kate left, the cameras needed to go too,that meant no more filming.Now think about it from Kate's perspective:it was between leaving the kids there to have fun,with no cameras even, or taking the kids with her, taking them somewhere else and film the crap out of them for Kate Plus 8.Hmm, what would you choose if you were Kate?Making some more money off them or letting them be kids? After they left Sarah Palin they probably went...wherever they filmed for their Alaska episode,I don't I can't even remember the recap...
Admin, as always you make a good point about Kate saying the kids were having fun in the Alaska episode, & then leaving anyways. This just fuels my rants about Kate being so selfish about her filming habits; for example, the kids throwing up on the boat but Kate having a helluva time. Did Kate turn the boat around because her poor kids were miserable? Nope. She kept going further out, while the kids get sicker & sicker. Another example: NYC, the kids are super hot, exhausted, falling asleep on the bus. Did Kate say, OK, ya know what TLC, My kids are hot, this weather is TOO much. We should do this some other time. Nope. She took the opportunity to run down the street in her heels (badly, like a new born calf. Can she even walk in heels??) to get her kids ice cream & shove them in their faces.
Now, do NOT get me wrong here. This is just from reading the posts. I would not watch this crap. But this woman is so selfish about filming her kids. She will do anything to get the shot, as long as it benefits HER happiness, who cares how the kids are faring. I noticed that in the earlier episodes too. She is just a bad mom, uncaring, & mean. Never putting anyone needs above her own.
Troy Chula Vista said... We dont have to worry about the sheeple bashing her or Jon for the video, they already are.
But why do they attack Ellen? She has never said anything negative about Kate and appears to have a stablizing influence on Jon. She has not exploited her connection to the Gosselins, hasn't sold any interviews or pictures. What more could she do?
Another thing that struck me that Kart said, and I don't think anyone has pointed it out. . .
On the Lopez show, she is so desperate. The constant mentioning about getting, dating, begging for a man. The comment that struck me was when she said "she doesn't need a 9th" (kid).
Hmmm. . . last time we checked, Kart is not capable of getting pregnant without medical intervention. For her to sit on that stage and elude to the fact that she could be so easily knocked up. Another "read between the lines" comment she has made.
Question. . . is Karts parents church a "grifter" church? Did her family live off the "help" of others? Pass the plate, pass the plate. Her sense of entitlement is beyond me.
Another thing that has always struck me about how she parents is her lack of connection and her inability to "teach or guide" these children. Her constant need to says things like "don't do that you could die" WHAT??? Her "overly extreme" comments. The way she treats the kids like they had a choice in all of this. Somehow in her little bitty mind, they owe her.
A comment was made last week about the kids not being filmed at home anymore. I too agree that this could be Jon's move. We havent seen the kids being filmed at home for a very long time. The couch interviews. But they could "recreate" this corner anywhere. We know how TLC is so good at recreating things. The Can Do episode was filmed at the house, but I dont remember the kids being there.
Cathy518, it doesn't matter what Ellen or Jon do, they are always the "source" in the eyes of the sheeple. They blast ellens looks or jons weight and they have the nerve to say this site is full of haters. Ha HA.
Cathy518, another thing I forgot to mention.. don't read any comments from Radar if sheeple logic confuses you. Regardless of the story written, the sheeple will ALWAYS blast Jon & Ellen and deflect away from Kate. (it has gotten better over the last few monthes, I guess school started again) ;)
Oh come on! Ellen has a picture of her boysfriend on the bottom side of her blog. She doesn't even list his name. She has a blog like so many other "private citizens" in the blogging world.
I don't see her "selling" anything on her blog. She has "giveaways" and she directs people to products sold by other people and companies.
Even if she's selling something on her blog, what's wrong with that? It doesn't reference the Gosselins anywhere on her blog. She has a right to sell whatever she wants. She is not exploiting any children in the process.
There are hateful blogging Kate supporters out there bashing and hating on Ellen all the while proclaiming that others have no right to bash or hate Kate.
Hypocrites.
They rip apart Ellen's looks and anything she says or does while at the same time condemning others for doing it to Kate.
Hypocrites.
They do the same thing to Jon and to anyone that supports him.
The Ellen bashers are so stupid. They claim that Ellen cages her dogs. They can't even tell that the "bathroom" area is just sectioned off. It's not enclosed. That's like accusing a cat owner of locking their cat up in a litter box all day. There is access so they can come and go as they need. Idiots.
It's okay to put a sick child on a cold laundry room floor but don't let dogs poop on potty pads, that's abuse.
The Sheeple are so insanely JELLUS of Ellen that it comes screaming off of their blogs. Ellen gets to KNOW those kids PERSONALLY, play with the, care for them and most of all those kids LOVE Ellen. The Sheeple cannot stand to think of Ellen having a relationship with those kids.
Ellen is getting a kickback from all those "giveaways" and "links." Her boyfriend Jon promotes her blog constantly on his twitter. The only reason she's getting blog traffic is from his promtion of it. She's profiting from being connected to the Gosselins even if she's not directly exploiting the kids. Stop fooling yourselves.
Of course she has pretty skin - she's 23. A full 10 years younger than Jon. I am no Kate fan but I disagree completely with those of you who think Ellen is so wonderful.
Those of you saying Jon didn't have anything to do with the video - well, at the very least I'm assuming he gave permission for her to go ahead with it. If she did that without asking him it's disrespectful because she is connected with him publicly and at this point her actions do reflect upon him, like it or not.

Jon is her boyfriend. He's supporting her blog. There is nothing wrong with her blog. There is nothing wrong with Jon supporting it. She may be getting additional hits because she is connected to Jon but there's nothing wrong with that. He is an adult. He's not a child and she is not exploiting him.
While I don't think Ellen should have done the dog video I don't think it's that big of a deal. She felt the need to respond to something involving herself (and her dogs) only. She didn't respond for or mention Jon and she didn't mention the Gosselin children.
There's nothing wrong with Jon having a twitter account. He is not promoting his children. He is living a relatively private life and he tweets about his every day life just like any other person on Twitter does.
Kate could have a Twitter account and tweet about herself and reply to her fans that support her. As long as she isn't exploiting her children for profit on it no one should complain either. Although I think the chances of that happening are pretty low. She wants to promote Kate Plus 8 and she uses her children for that all the time.
I personally think it's sad that a father can't even put up a tweet that says he had a great weekend with his children, or took them to a park or event etc. Lot of fathers do that and it's not exploitation. Even famous fathers doing that is not exploitation. They are not making money off their children doing it. Huge difference.

----------------
and your proof of her kickbacks is what? Because you say doesnt mean it's true.
Traffic to her blog is from all the promotion she gets everytime someone mentions her blog. Just like traffic is probably up at sheeple blogs, except you are not allowed to comment unless you kiss Kates toes and diss Jon in the same sentence.
Nothing new to report on the Kate front, so let's everybody trash Jon and Ellen until Kate does something stupid again.While we're at it, let's say mean things about Ellen's dogs, because they don't understand and have no feelings.
Maybe we could even set up hate sites for Ellen's pups like the sheeple did for one of the Gosselin kids who was showing some spunky behaviour.
Who REALLY cares if Jon has 75,000 Twitter friends? Someone who has no friends at all? Why is any of this worth the electricity it is taking to post these comments?
"Those of you saying Jon didn't have anything to do with the video - well, at the very least I'm assuming he gave permission for her to go ahead with it..."

I don't use Twitter, so I guess that would mean I don't have any Twitter friends. Woe is me. The point is that claiming that Jon's Twitter account is private, while technically accurate, is a joke. You know as well as I do that 99% of those followers are not people he knows personally and therefore his account is not really "private." If he wanted a truly private Twitter account, he would start over, set the new account to private and allow only those people he knows personally to follow him. To claim that his privacy is invaded when he's Tweeting to 75,000+ people is ridiculous.
Jon put his tweets on private. There are a bunch of crazy sheeple that befriend him and pretend to be his supporters just so they can read his tweets and report back to the other sheeple and rip him apart.
I'm pretty sure that if Jon could weed them out he would. He has already blocked some and he continues to block others as he comes across them. I have read their complaints that he blocked them. So don't blame Jon that his tweets are being spread outside of his private account, blame the crazy sheeple.
I wrote a review 2 years ago for GWOP about my experience at a NYC Eight Little Faces booksigning. At that time I was still on the fence about the Gosselins and was a follower of the fan blog. I am sure that I indeed recognized that famous blogger at the booksigning. She refutes my account, but I still stand by what I wrote two years ago about the booksigning. Two other bloggers who I met at the booksigning concurred with me. After I recognized her and wrote my rebuttal of her story she removed her picture from her blog. I will add that she spoke at length with Kate's PR team, Steve and Kate herself when up at the podium (more so than any other attendees ahead of me in line). Perhaps she offered to write a great review for good press for her idol, who knows? Maybe she had their blessing to elaborate? Did she have the kid hiding outside and bring her back after all attendees left? I don't know, but Kate was photographed leaving the booksigning by the paparazzi and going to FAO Schwartz shortly after I left. Kate also did not rush home as her biggest fan claimed, but stayed in the city to do an interview the next day and shop, if I recall correctly. So if the account was true that her fan wrote, she lied to her number one fan. I am not saying she or her kid never met Kate, but I don't think at that particular booksigning things were as she claimed.
Admin, I am sorry if this violates your rules, maybe you can give Hippie Chick the message.

######## Exactly. What's really sad are the mean-spirited sheeple on here who are scraping the bottom of the barrel just to bash Jon and Ellen. What a pathetic flock of ovine...characteristically dull.

######## Perhaps before such a comment is made on wild speculation, it would behoove the poster to get the facts. If one doesn't know if Jon did or did not give permission, then the comment is nothing more than a moot point.

---------------- Makes sense that they need a parent during filming. I didn't think of that. I know I would have let them stay, without filming, to have fun. But we know Khate would not want that. Those poor kids.
Are the sheeple really saying Ellen cages her dogs and making an issue of it? How quickly they forget - Kate was on the FRONT lawn (of course) before the split, having a picnic lunch, and the dogs came over (naturally, because they love people and food), and she screamed at Jon to take them away and put them in their crates, saying that icky dogs belong in crates or something like that. The dogs were sent back shortly after that. Oh my goodness.

It bothers me to see the blind defense of Ellen in much the same way that the sheeple blindly defend Kate.

We don't know if he did, or if he didn't, so why is it important? I'm not sure why it would even be under discussion. I'm not blindly defending Ellen. She did what she did and while I don't agree with her making a public video when she's done such a good job at lying low, it's over and it's done. Time to move on, not dwell on whether Jon gave his permission or not. In the whole scheme of things, does it really matter?

The Sheeple cannot stand to think of Ellen having a relationship with those kids. --------------------------------------------
Another thing that struck me that Kart said, and I don't think anyone has pointed it out. . .
On the Lopez show, she is so desperate. The constant mentioning about getting, dating, begging for a man. The comment that struck me was when she said "she doesn't need a 9th" (kid).
Hmmm. . . last time we checked, Kart is not capable of getting pregnant without medical intervention. For her to sit on that stage and elude to the fact that she could be so easily knocked up. Another "read between the lines" comment she has made.
Question. . . is Karts parents church a "grifter" church? Did her family live off the "help" of others? Pass the plate, pass the plate. Her sense of entitlement is beyond me.
Another thing that has always struck me about how she parents is her lack of connection and her inability to "teach or guide" these children. Her constant need to says things like "don't do that you could die" WHAT??? Her "overly extreme" comments. The way she treats the kids like they had a choice in all of this. Somehow in her little bitty mind, they owe her.
A comment was made last week about the kids not being filmed at home anymore. I too agree that this could be Jon's move. We havent seen the kids being filmed at home for a very long time. The couch interviews. But they could "recreate" this corner anywhere. We know how TLC is so good at recreating things. The Can Do episode was filmed at the house, but I dont remember the kids being there.
I'm sure Jon didn't complain about it either. Dog pee is nuthin' compared to the loads of shite Kate piled on him. ----------------------------------------------- AuntieAnn you are priceless. Thanks for the laugh....well a guffaw actually. :)
Last I checked if a dog pees on your stuff, you can throw it in the wash. Add a little baking soda good as new. If it's something not washable, a two part vinegar one part water solution clears it right up. I had a 12-week old puppy at one point and learned this. It's not a national crisis, I'm sure those two adults can handle it. I do feel for Ellen about being tabloid fodder at such a young age. Now imagine being tabloid fodder at age six.
Casey said... I thought Ellen’s video was funny however I also feel that it shows you that Jon and Ellen really don’t want to have a “private” life. If they did, they would have never made that.
***********
"They" didn't make anything. It's Ellen's video. Jon's name is nowhere on it. Ellen is an adult, has her own free will; she made the video and she never mentioned Jon. The video was funny; let's stop trying to read more into it.
crates are used to potty train dogs because dogs will usually not pee in the place they sleep/stay.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
The operative word here is "usually." I had a little Yorkie who would deliberately pee in her crate. She'd pee in the corner, then would avoid that area when she went to sleep! I eventually did get her housebroken, but, boy, she was a feisty little thing, and so contrary!
"This was thee most inappropriate thing she could have done."
********************
Really? What about ridiculing Kate's boob job or cellulite, or discussing Kate and Jon's sex life, or the size of his male-ness (as Hailey did), or the kids' behavior that got them expelled from school? You really think that commenting about the dogs is the MOST inappropriate thing she could have done? Very interesting...!
"I think this video says quite a lot about Ellen and Jon."
************************
Exactly what does it say about Jon? Funny, but I didn't hear his name mentioned at all, even though the article in US reported that the dogs pee on "HIS stuff." She never mentioned him, or their relationship.
96 sediments (sic) from readers:
Ellen is much prettier than I thought. She's funny too but I would have liked to see one of the dogs pee on the Star Magazines. Then again, the Sheeple would accuse her of exploiting her dogs for fame and fortune.
I like Ellen and wish the fan blogs would give her a break. She's obviously good to the kids and Jon. The Kate fanatics can only hate her because they think that's what Kate would want them to do. From this video I see a very nice young woman and I hope this doesn't cause the sheep to start bleating louder.
I wouldn't even respond to the rumors if I were her. It's just more fuel for the fire.
This girl needs an old fashioned diary where she can keep her personal feelings and thoughts
private. This current trend of cyberspacing your frustrations is wearing thin.

Absolutely, Fido. I was thinking the same thing. The two of them were doing such a good job staying out of the media, out of anything that would be fodder for gossip. Why is it that people can't take the high road and just ignore rumors? They would come off so much better for it. They feel that they MUST respond. The only thing that this accomplishes is giving fuel for retaliation from the other "side," leading to a back and forth verbal debate. Nobody wins.
I hadn't even heard or read about a problem with her dogs. All this did was to bring it out into the open. Just let it go and move on!!
Ellen's response was FUNNY!! She's pretty spunky for a young woman. She's damned either way so WHY NOT make fun of the idiotic report from Star?! AND where the hell did the Star reporter get this insider info? Are Star reporters so desperate for news they just make it up & assume Ellen won't say anything? Is she supposed to lay down & let them F*?! her over?!
Ellen chose to live as a private citizen. She didn't ask for anyone to bash her or her dogs. No one can begin to understand how she must be feeling when slanderous reports continuously invade their lives. Sometimes when one is silent it allows others to fabricate lies. When will it ever stop. Probably never.
No meltdown. HUMOR!! I'm laughing with Ellen. It would've been funnier if the dogs left a HUGE pile of poop on Star Magazine's front page headline, "Stars Lose Fight with CELLULITE." Bullseye on Katie Irene's photo! LMAO!
First rule of PR is if you want to sustain public interest in you, never respond to gossip. So maybe they know this and want people to get bored with them and tune out. We know Kate would never do anything this direct!

*******************************************
They have done a good job thus far not responding and not taking the bait, but I think the US mag article was just too inflammatory for them to remain silent.
This is actually a very interesting twist in the Jon & Kate saga. Jon has lived a private life for about a year now. As a private citizen, why is he fair game for these types of dirt dishing articles? While I hope his vehicle isn't about to be repossessed, even if it is, is that something America needs to know? Maybe Jon needs to take a cue from his hate filled, vindictive ex and require anyone who enters his airspace to sign a confidentiality agreement. This is how Kate keeps her 100s of loads of dirty laundry private and out of the pages of the tabs. I think that is the only way to put an end to these articles based on info from "a source."
I too, didn't realize just how pretty Ellen is. Her skin is to die for! How lucky Jon is to have such a young, fresh and natural looking girlfriend. It's quite a contrast to the nipped, tucked, pulled, injected, silicone filled, orange, hard and old looking straw haired Kate. Good for him!
I was over at GWOP yesterday looking at old posts (I'm not feeling too great) & there was 1 post that struck me. Someone wanted a story or a sentence or a WORD, anything about Kate who may have had a run-in with her at some point, like a neighbor or fellow nurse, or someone at a book signing, instead of something negative. Well, there was nothing. UNTIL a certain blog owner came over & said some things about meeting Kate twice at a book signing. Come to find out, the second time she had lied about the whole thing. She had photshopped her child into the picture with Kate, lied about her conversation w/ Kate, & nothing happened as she said it did.
She was trying to defend Kate, saying she was sweet, nice & funny, with NOTHING to back it up. Then made a point about how the G8 couldn't even take gymnastics because of security reasons, which helped OUR point because Kate put them in that position in the 1st place!
So, I am re-asking the question. Does anyone have anything positive to say about Kate? Seriously. We know the negatives. We have facts to back up the negatives. We know the kind of the person she is. But there has got to be something good in there, & as a hippie chick I believe everyone has good somewhere. Or am I just going to hear crickets...
LOL! I would normally agree that to ignore rumors is the best course, but this was brief, funny, and not mean spirited--can't say I blame her!

=============
That's what they do! That's how they stay in business! Just because they are reckless in their reporting doesn't mean that those who are the subjects of their rantings should follow suit. One rises above that and ignores them. They want a response. Why stoop to their level and give them what they want?
Katie Holmes just filed a $50 million dollar libel suit against the Star. She didn't engage in a cyber debate with them and post a video online. She claims she was wronged, and she hit them where it hurts. They would only laugh at a video response, knowing that it would be good for their business and sell more magazines. I don't think that they are laughing now.
You don't cross a girl's dogs.
"She's damned either way so WHY NOT make fun of the idiotic report from Star?! AND where the hell did the Star reporter get this insider info? Are Star reporters so desperate for news they just make it up & assume Ellen won't say anything? Is she supposed to lay down & let them F*?!"
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
The Star reporter didn't get the inside info. The story appeared as an "exclusive" in the March 3 edition of US magazine, which is why there are two copies of it in the dog crate:
"Instead of splurging on expensive dinner dates, Gosselin, 33, spends most nights shacking up at girlfriend Ellen Ross' home, where a source says "her yappy dogs pee on his stuff."
I think this video says quite a lot about Ellen and Jon. This was thee most inappropriate thing she could have done.
Pretty? She isn't ugly...
And how does this help the kids???
I just had dinner with Katie last night and she was FUNNY, sweet, drop dead gorgeous and... oh, that's right it was my 'granddaughter' Katie and she's YOUNG as well as all the above!
@ mama mia. So now you're a PR expert? PLEASE give Katie Irene your expert advice! She really needs you now more than ever. She RESPONDED to reports/gossip from online blogs in her interview w/ The Talk. "90% of what you read online is not true." Hahahaha, she gave herself away. Now EVERYBODY KNOWS she sits at home, alone with her aloneness, reading the blogs. AND everybody KNOWS Katie responds to everything she reads/hears on talk show rounds ONLY WITH pre-approved, rehearsed responses to interview questions.
@ Molly. Better to laugh about a silly article than have a meltdown on camera. Katie gave EVERYBODY something to talk about when she was miserable in Alaska, bragged about being miserable, insulted a little girl because she was miserable than left a campsite the G8 enjoyed...BECAUSE she was MISERABLE. "This was the most inappropriate thing she could have done."
"And how does this help the kids?"
She's defending her dogs. It has nothing to do with the kids...get it straight.
AND, Ellen's video was FUNNY!!!!
Molly, I respectfully disagree. This has nothing to do with Jon or the children.
Ellen is defending HER dogs.
She didn't sign them up to be exploited and trashed in the tabloids.
LOL!! That was good! Ellen didn't say a word about JON or the kids. It was all about her dogs and the title was "Yappy little Pissers". Just defending the dogs, that's all.
Molly said... Pretty? She isn't ugly...
_________________________________________
How absolutely condescendingly passively/aggressively kind of you to say.
I thought her video was hilarious.
She and Jon don't respond to every little thing, but I can see why she'd make a funny video for this one.
It's baseless and rude to allege that her dogs pee all over everything, so I can see why she'd nip that rumor in the bud before it took on a life of its own.
I don't blame Ellen for answering back at the article. After all, Kate has gone to every media outlet to bash and trash Jon every chance she gets while Jon is seemingly hogtied from saying anything about her. It is blatantly unfair for one side to be able to say anything they want about the other while the other one is barred from telling the truth as he sees it. Besides, we all know if Kate's lips are moving, she's lying.
"This was thee most inappropriate thing she could have done."

Just like we get a kick out of Kate acknowledging she reads the blogs when she goes on a TV show, whoever said her dogs are yappy little pissers gets a kick out of Ellen acknowledging she knows what they said. Why give in now after she (and Jon) have been doing so well at keeping quiet? Nipping a rumor that her dogs pee all over? Really! That’s the least of the nasty things that have been said. It’s so silly and immature.
FUNNY!!!!!!!!
crates are used to potty train dogs because dogs will usually not pee in the place they sleep/stay.
What I don't get is this admiration for Jon and Ellen
According to Jon US Mag got their info from his twitter.
Ellen sells stuff on her blog with a picture of Jon on it.
It is obvious that it was Ellen or Jon or both who sold the rebuttal to ROL, and then Ellen has to make a youtube video defending her dogs honor.
Where does anyone get that they want to be private citizens?
OMG you guys thank you for saying such nice things about me!! THis site rocks, LOL!!! :)
I think Ellen has a great sense of humour, and, unlike Kate, she kindly didn't show us the toilet training process with her fur kids.I can't believe that this is becoming a big discussion topic!
My guess is that she wanted to add a little levity to an otherwise stupid and vindictive accusation.
I thought Ellen’s video was funny however I also feel that it shows you that Jon and Ellen really don’t want to have a “private” life. If they did, they would have never made that.

This is a totally off topic comment bear with me but I've been meaning to point this out. I watched Kate's meltdown in Alaska for the first time since I recapped it. Naturally there's a lot to say about it that has already been said, but something really struck me this time around. Kate clearly says to the camera, "the kids are having fun." She was not having a good time, but she is clearly aware that her children are and she even admits it. I feel like it would be better if Kate stormed off the set if she didn't realize or was oblivious to the children's good time. But this woman ADMITTED she knew the kids were having fun, and she still put herself and her wants first and dragged them off with her. I just find this egregious.

That's a great point, Admin. It makes her insistence on leaving even worse since she was in full knowledge the kids were enjoying themselves.
Is it possible to post just that tiny part of the clip and make a new blog entry/discussion point about it?
Instead of ripping Ellen to shreds, why not praise her remarkable sense of grace throughout this entire debacle?
I can't imagine ANY other young woman her age being able to deal with this situation so well. She has shown amazing restraint and has been a positive influence on Jon and his childrens lives.
We dont have to worry about the sheeple bashing her or Jon for the video, they already are. Even before the video Ellen was being put down and made fun of with the gusto of a 5th grader in elementry school. Now they say just because she is defending the dogs, the story MUST be true.
Last I checked if a dog pees on your stuff, you can throw it in the wash. Add a little baking soda good as new. If it's something not washable, a two part vinegar one part water solution clears it right up. I had a 12-week old puppy at one point and learned this. It's not a national crisis, I'm sure those two adults can handle it. I do feel for Ellen about being tabloid fodder at such a young age. Now imagine being tabloid fodder at age six.
I'm sure Jon didn't complain about it either. Dog pee is nuthin' compared to the loads of shite Kate piled on him.

I still don't understand why Kate didn't just leave the kids there to have fun. There were enough adults to help with them.
Oh wait... She probably doesn't want them to get more attention than she does.

Actually, I think for children this small there has to be a parent present every minute of filming.If Kate left, the cameras needed to go too,that meant no more filming.Now think about it from Kate's perspective:it was between leaving the kids there to have fun,with no cameras even, or taking the kids with her, taking them somewhere else and film the crap out of them for Kate Plus 8.Hmm, what would you choose if you were Kate?Making some more money off them or letting them be kids? After they left Sarah Palin they probably went...wherever they filmed for their Alaska episode,I don't I can't even remember the recap...
Dog pee is nuthin' compared to the loads of shite Kate piled on him.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
...and the dog pee washes out right away. He's still probably scraping off the loads that Kate piled on him.
Admin, as always you make a good point about Kate saying the kids were having fun in the Alaska episode, & then leaving anyways. This just fuels my rants about Kate being so selfish about her filming habits; for example, the kids throwing up on the boat but Kate having a helluva time. Did Kate turn the boat around because her poor kids were miserable? Nope. She kept going further out, while the kids get sicker & sicker. Another example: NYC, the kids are super hot, exhausted, falling asleep on the bus. Did Kate say, OK, ya know what TLC, My kids are hot, this weather is TOO much. We should do this some other time. Nope. She took the opportunity to run down the street in her heels (badly, like a new born calf. Can she even walk in heels??) to get her kids ice cream & shove them in their faces.
Now, do NOT get me wrong here. This is just from reading the posts. I would not watch this crap. But this woman is so selfish about filming her kids. She will do anything to get the shot, as long as it benefits HER happiness, who cares how the kids are faring. I noticed that in the earlier episodes too. She is just a bad mom, uncaring, & mean. Never putting anyone needs above her own.
Troy Chula Vista said... We dont have to worry about the sheeple bashing her or Jon for the video, they already are.
But why do they attack Ellen? She has never said anything negative about Kate and appears to have a stablizing influence on Jon. She has not exploited her connection to the Gosselins, hasn't sold any interviews or pictures. What more could she do?
Kate got voted one of the worst moms on TV. The catch? She is the only "real" mom. The others are fictional characters. How sad.

Cathy518, it doesn't matter what Ellen or Jon do, they are always the "source" in the eyes of the sheeple. They blast ellens looks or jons weight and they have the nerve to say this site is full of haters. Ha HA.
"The comment that struck me was when she said 'she doesn't need a 9th' (kid)."
She was talking about the man himself, not about getting pregnant.
So Ellen is not allowed to have a picture of her boyfriend on her blog?
Cathy518, another thing I forgot to mention.. don't read any comments from Radar if sheeple logic confuses you. Regardless of the story written, the sheeple will ALWAYS blast Jon & Ellen and deflect away from Kate. (it has gotten better over the last few monthes, I guess school started again) ;)
Oh come on! Ellen has a picture of her boysfriend on the bottom side of her blog. She doesn't even list his name. She has a blog like so many other "private citizens" in the blogging world.
I don't see her "selling" anything on her blog. She has "giveaways" and she directs people to products sold by other people and companies.
Even if she's selling something on her blog, what's wrong with that? It doesn't reference the Gosselins anywhere on her blog. She has a right to sell whatever she wants. She is not exploiting any children in the process.
There are hateful blogging Kate supporters out there bashing and hating on Ellen all the while proclaiming that others have no right to bash or hate Kate.
Hypocrites.
They rip apart Ellen's looks and anything she says or does while at the same time condemning others for doing it to Kate.
Hypocrites.
They do the same thing to Jon and to anyone that supports him.
They are all a bunch of hateful hypocrites.
The Ellen bashers are so stupid. They claim that Ellen cages her dogs. They can't even tell that the "bathroom" area is just sectioned off. It's not enclosed. That's like accusing a cat owner of locking their cat up in a litter box all day. There is access so they can come and go as they need. Idiots.
It's okay to put a sick child on a cold laundry room floor but don't let dogs poop on potty pads, that's abuse.
The Sheeple are so insanely JELLUS of Ellen that it comes screaming off of their blogs. Ellen gets to KNOW those kids PERSONALLY, play with the, care for them and most of all those kids LOVE Ellen. The Sheeple cannot stand to think of Ellen having a relationship with those kids.
Ellen is getting a kickback from all those "giveaways" and "links." Her boyfriend Jon promotes her blog constantly on his twitter. The only reason she's getting blog traffic is from his promtion of it. She's profiting from being connected to the Gosselins even if she's not directly exploiting the kids. Stop fooling yourselves.
Of course she has pretty skin - she's 23. A full 10 years younger than Jon. I am no Kate fan but I disagree completely with those of you who think Ellen is so wonderful.
Those of you saying Jon didn't have anything to do with the video - well, at the very least I'm assuming he gave permission for her to go ahead with it. If she did that without asking him it's disrespectful because she is connected with him publicly and at this point her actions do reflect upon him, like it or not.

YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD!
Why shouldn't Ellen get kickbacks?
Why shouldn't Jon promote his girlfriend's site on his PRIVATE Twitter account?
Also, Ellen doesn't need permission from Jon to do anything. She is her own person.

--------------------------------------------
Jon is her boyfriend. He's supporting her blog. There is nothing wrong with her blog. There is nothing wrong with Jon supporting it. She may be getting additional hits because she is connected to Jon but there's nothing wrong with that. He is an adult. He's not a child and she is not exploiting him.
While I don't think Ellen should have done the dog video I don't think it's that big of a deal. She felt the need to respond to something involving herself (and her dogs) only. She didn't respond for or mention Jon and she didn't mention the Gosselin children.
There's nothing wrong with Jon having a twitter account. He is not promoting his children. He is living a relatively private life and he tweets about his every day life just like any other person on Twitter does.
Kate could have a Twitter account and tweet about herself and reply to her fans that support her. As long as she isn't exploiting her children for profit on it no one should complain either. Although I think the chances of that happening are pretty low. She wants to promote Kate Plus 8 and she uses her children for that all the time.
I personally think it's sad that a father can't even put up a tweet that says he had a great weekend with his children, or took them to a park or event etc. Lot of fathers do that and it's not exploitation. Even famous fathers doing that is not exploitation. They are not making money off their children doing it. Huge difference.

and your proof of her kickbacks is what? Because you say doesnt mean it's true.
Traffic to her blog is from all the promotion she gets everytime someone mentions her blog.
Just like traffic is probably up at sheeple blogs, except you are not allowed to comment unless you kiss Kates toes and diss Jon in the same sentence.
I hope Ellen IS getting kickbacks and freebies for promoting those companies and their products. She SHOULD BE!
Tony dovalani has a twitter. He occasionally mentions his kids, so what? He' not exploiting them either.

Nothing new to report on the Kate front, so let's everybody trash Jon and Ellen until Kate does something stupid again.While we're at it, let's say mean things about Ellen's dogs, because they don't understand and have no feelings.
Maybe we could even set up hate sites for Ellen's pups like the sheeple did for one of the Gosselin kids who was showing some spunky behaviour.
Who REALLY cares if Jon has 75,000 Twitter friends? Someone who has no friends at all? Why is any of this worth the electricity it is taking to post these comments?
"Those of you saying Jon didn't have anything to do with the video - well, at the very least I'm assuming he gave permission for her to go ahead with it..."

I don't use Twitter, so I guess that would mean I don't have any Twitter friends. Woe is me. The point is that claiming that Jon's Twitter account is private, while technically accurate, is a joke. You know as well as I do that 99% of those followers are not people he knows personally and therefore his account is not really "private." If he wanted a truly private Twitter account, he would start over, set the new account to private and allow only those people he knows personally to follow him. To claim that his privacy is invaded when he's Tweeting to 75,000+ people is ridiculous.
Technically Private,
Jon put his tweets on private. There are a bunch of crazy sheeple that befriend him and pretend to be his supporters just so they can read his tweets and report back to the other sheeple and rip him apart.
I'm pretty sure that if Jon could weed them out he would. He has already blocked some and he continues to block others as he comes across them. I have read their complaints that he blocked them. So don't blame Jon that his tweets are being spread outside of his private account, blame the crazy sheeple.
Sorry, but any expectation of privacy when you are Tweeting to 75,000+ people is ludicrous.
the expectation that Ellen should be in hiding is ludicrous too.
Admin this is a note to Hippie Chick,
I wrote a review 2 years ago for GWOP about my experience at a NYC Eight Little Faces booksigning. At that time I was still on the fence about the Gosselins and was a follower of the fan blog. I am sure that I indeed recognized that famous blogger at the booksigning. She refutes my account, but I still stand by what I wrote two years ago about the booksigning. Two other bloggers who I met at the booksigning concurred with me. After I recognized her and wrote my rebuttal of her story she removed her picture from her blog. I will add that she spoke at length with Kate's PR team, Steve and Kate herself when up at the podium (more so than any other attendees ahead of me in line). Perhaps she offered to write a great review for good press for her idol, who knows? Maybe she had their blessing to elaborate? Did she have the kid hiding outside and bring her back after all attendees left? I don't know, but Kate was photographed leaving the booksigning by the paparazzi and going to FAO Schwartz shortly after I left. Kate also did not rush home as her biggest fan claimed, but stayed in the city to do an interview the next day and shop, if I recall correctly. So if the account was true that her fan wrote, she lied to her number one fan. I am not saying she or her kid never met Kate, but I don't think at that particular booksigning things were as she claimed.
Admin, I am sorry if this violates your rules, maybe you can give Hippie Chick the message.

Exactly. What's really sad are the mean-spirited sheeple on here who are scraping the bottom of the barrel just to bash Jon and Ellen. What a pathetic flock of ovine...characteristically dull.
Can't Join Ellen Lovefest said, "Those of you saying Jon didn't have anything to do with the video - well, at the very least I'm assuming he gave permission for her to go ahead with it. If she did that without asking him it's disrespectful because she is connected with him publicly and at this point her actions do reflect upon him, like it or not."

Perhaps before such a comment is made on wild speculation, it would behoove the poster to get the facts. If one doesn't know if Jon did or did not give permission, then the comment is nothing more than a moot point.

Actually, I think for children this small there has to be a parent present every minute of filming......what would you choose if you were Kate?Making some more money off them....,
----------------
Makes sense that they need a parent during filming. I didn't think of that. I know I would have let them stay, without filming, to have fun. But we know Khate would not want that. Those poor kids.
NYC I don't exchange messages between posters I'm sorry. I don't even have posters' emails.
Are the sheeple really saying Ellen cages her dogs and making an issue of it? How quickly they forget - Kate was on the FRONT lawn (of course) before the split, having a picnic lunch, and the dogs came over (naturally, because they love people and food), and she screamed at Jon to take them away and put them in their crates, saying that icky dogs belong in crates or something like that. The dogs were sent back shortly after that. Oh my goodness.
Kate herself said she would lock the dogs up in their crates that they would chew their way out and break free.

Looks like Kate and kids is/was in Tennessee...

At Tennessee airport w Holly & Megan. Holly almost pinched my arm off in baggage. Why? Kate Gosselin walked by with her entire brood.
Kate apparently just arrived at a hotel in Tennessee spotted by someone on the same plane and staying in same hotel. With her *cough* bodyguard and the 8 kiddos (isn't this a school week?)

The Gosselin kids are on Spring Break. It started Friday, March 4 and classes don't resume until Tuesday, March 15.
I'm not a sheeple - I'm actually a regular poster here but didn't want to use my usual name because I knew there'd be backlash when I voiced my opinion against Ellen.
It bothers me to see the blind defense of Ellen in much the same way that the sheeple blindly defend Kate.
Please re-read my comment without thinking I am a sheeple. Do you guys really think it's wouldn't be disrespectful of Jon for Ellen to have made this video without his permission?

There's that word again, permission. She is her OWN PERSON. She doesn't NEED permission. Do you need permission from your man for everything you do?
Comparing Ellen to Kate is apples and oranges. What has Ellen done to make her a villain? Love Jon and pay attention to the kids? Shame on her.
Kate has been exploiting her children since they were conceived. Ellen made a silly video defending her dogs. They are not the same.

*******************************
We don't know if he did, or if he didn't, so why is it important? I'm not sure why it would even be under discussion. I'm not blindly defending Ellen. She did what she did and while I don't agree with her making a public video when she's done such a good job at lying low, it's over and it's done. Time to move on, not dwell on whether Jon gave his permission or not. In the whole scheme of things, does it really matter?

The Sheeple are so insanely JELLUS of Ellen that it comes screaming off of their blogs. Ellen gets to KNOW those kids PERSONALLY, play with the, care for them and most of all those kids LOVE Ellen. The Sheeple cannot stand to think of Ellen having a relationship with those kids.
--------------------------------------------
YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD!
So Ellen is not allowed to have a picture of her boyfriend on her blog?
Another thing that struck me that Kart said, and I don't think anyone has pointed it out. . .
On the Lopez show, she is so desperate. The constant mentioning about getting, dating, begging for a man. The comment that struck me was when she said "she doesn't need a 9th" (kid).
Hmmm. . . last time we checked, Kart is not capable of getting pregnant without medical intervention. For her to sit on that stage and elude to the fact that she could be so easily knocked up. Another "read between the lines" comment she has made.
Question. . . is Karts parents church a "grifter" church? Did her family live off the "help" of others? Pass the plate, pass the plate. Her sense of entitlement is beyond me.
Another thing that has always struck me about how she parents is her lack of connection and her inability to "teach or guide" these children. Her constant need to says things like "don't do that you could die" WHAT??? Her "overly extreme" comments. The way she treats the kids like they had a choice in all of this. Somehow in her little bitty mind, they owe her.
A comment was made last week about the kids not being filmed at home anymore. I too agree that this could be Jon's move. We havent seen the kids being filmed at home for a very long time. The couch interviews. But they could "recreate" this corner anywhere. We know how TLC is so good at recreating things. The Can Do episode was filmed at the house, but I dont remember the kids being there.
Dog pee is nuthin' compared to the loads of shite Kate piled on him.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
...and the dog pee washes out right away. He's still probably scraping off the loads that Kate piled on him.

I'm sure Jon didn't complain about it either. Dog pee is nuthin' compared to the loads of shite Kate piled on him.
-----------------------------------------------
AuntieAnn you are priceless. Thanks for the laugh....well a guffaw actually. :)
Last I checked if a dog pees on your stuff, you can throw it in the wash. Add a little baking soda good as new. If it's something not washable, a two part vinegar one part water solution clears it right up. I had a 12-week old puppy at one point and learned this. It's not a national crisis, I'm sure those two adults can handle it. I do feel for Ellen about being tabloid fodder at such a young age. Now imagine being tabloid fodder at age six.
Casey said...
I thought Ellen’s video was funny however I also feel that it shows you that Jon and Ellen really don’t want to have a “private” life. If they did, they would have never made that.
***********
"They" didn't make anything. It's Ellen's video. Jon's name is nowhere on it. Ellen is an adult, has her own free will; she made the video and she never mentioned Jon. The video was funny; let's stop trying to read more into it.
Kim said...
crates are used to potty train dogs because dogs will usually not pee in the place they sleep/stay.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
The operative word here is "usually." I had a little Yorkie who would deliberately pee in her crate. She'd pee in the corner, then would avoid that area when she went to sleep! I eventually did get her housebroken, but, boy, she was a feisty little thing, and so contrary!
What I don't get is this admiration for Jon and Ellen
According to Jon US Mag got their info from his twitter.
Ellen sells stuff on her blog with a picture of Jon on it.
It is obvious that it was Ellen or Jon or both who sold the rebuttal to ROL, and then Ellen has to make a youtube video defending her dogs honor.
Where does anyone get that they want to be private citizens?
"This was thee most inappropriate thing she could have done."
********************
Really? What about ridiculing Kate's boob job or cellulite, or discussing Kate and Jon's sex life, or the size of his male-ness (as Hailey did), or the kids' behavior that got them expelled from school? You really think that commenting about the dogs is the MOST inappropriate thing she could have done? Very interesting...!
"I think this video says quite a lot about Ellen and Jon."
************************
Exactly what does it say about Jon? Funny, but I didn't hear his name mentioned at all, even though the article in US reported that the dogs pee on "HIS stuff." She never mentioned him, or their relationship.
