Kate is too important to carry an ID while she gets a makeover in NYC and goes clubbing, meanwhile the kids are working back at home with no parent on set.

392 sediments (sic) from readers:
«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 392 of 392 Newer› Newest»This was before my time, but I'm told that the narcissist I worked for had an assistant several years ago, I think in the mid-90's, and this was one of the few people she respected and didn't treat like dirt. And why? Because this person had her number, wouldn't let her talk to them disrespectful, called her out on all her crap, put her in her place on a daily basis. Apparently the narcissist just sort of submitted to it, was transformed into obedience. The assistant eventually left the job, and the narcissist was devastated.
Well, when I saw how Steve talks to Kate, his no nonsense put up or shut up attitude with her, that's exactly what I thought of.
Perhaps there are sometimes people out there once in awhile a particular narcissist just responds to for whatever odd reason.

A narcissist is often a bully, and many bullies respond to people who simply won't take any garbage from them. One sign of weakness, though, and the "friend" is toast.
A narcissist will have to perceive some benefit to a continued relationship, whereas simply putting a bully in his/her place many just mean that you never have to deal with the bully again.
Both Steve and Jamie may have acted (or continue to act) as acceptable moderators who relieve some of the deep insecurity K8 feels by demanding that she shape up in specific situations K8 knows, deep inside, that she can't handle.
See the thing is I feel like people like Beth or Jodi may have tried to put Kate in her place, and yet they ended up cut off.
And I know there are many people who tried with the narcissist I knew and failed miserably, myself included. The only people she's ever responded to are her husband, and her former assistant.
I still find it a mystery why some people can handle a particular narcissist and others, despite succeeder in many other complex social situations, cannot.

-----------------
I think it's a question of HOW it's done, and by whom. One of the kids trying to put K8 in her place won't succeed - the kid doesn't have anything K8 thinks is valuable (other than what K8's already stolen).
Steve is useful to create buzz, and he may make K8 feel as if she has an attractive male companion. so she may respond to his input both because it eases her insecurities and because she perceives other benefits to having him around.
Jamie may be useful because she has more success in social situations, and may be able to attract and keep attention without K8 having to work for it. Or there may be other reasons.
Just being able to call BS alone probably isn't enough. For a narcissist, there would have to be some other benefit as well.
If you're "nobody" you may be able to shut down a garden-variety bully, but you'll need a little extra something to shut down the narcissist bully.
If you're at all nice, I can pretty much guess that that's a disqualifier right there. Nice = weak in the eyes of a narcissist, even if you're willing to call BS at times.
Last point: EVERYBODY is eventually cut off by a narcissist, unless they're into masochism.
Kate's fans admire her for her strength and "take charge" attitude and her dry wit (i.e., rudeness).
My take on Kate is that she has very rigid and stereotypical thinking about gender and portrays herself as a victim in situations where she is not in control.
First of all she is a "mom" who does no mothering. The label and the kids' existence is enough.
One rag mag referred to her as "adorable" in pink (at age 35 - adorable. Um, yeah.)
Then she is the "bikini babe."
Her current wardrobe is primarily "hoochie mama." while attempting to be a "femme fatale."
How many times has she said "I can't" or freaked out in situations where she was uncomfortable?
I can't: climb the lighthouse stairs, roller blade, take a skiing lesson, camp. Can she swim? I'm actually surprised that she drives.
One scene that made an indelible impression on me was at one of the amusement parks when she and Jon split the kids up and both went on the tilt-a-whirl. Mid way through the ride she started SCREAMING:
"Jon, HELP us!" as if there something he could do.
I may be in the minority but I believe that her breakdown after the sky jump was real.
If her rudeness occurs, as she has stated, when she is uncomfortable, she must be one of the most insecure people on earth.
Additionally, she is vapid and shallow and creates a persona for herself - the "Christian" quoting Bible verses and practicing the religion of prosperity (grifting from genuine Christians), moving on to ""supermom", (who won't bother to teach her children to tie shoe laces) then "can do Kate" who can't and doesn't even want to try. A little effort goes a long way.
A LOT of women have worked VERY hard over the past 100 years to gain rights (e.g., to vote) and to be taken seriously in our chosen endeavors. Kate's goal of becoming a celebrity by virtue of having given birth to 8 children is extremely disheartening. That tweens and teens look to her as a role model is positively frightening. As for the adult women who idolize her? You can't raise a grown up.
Now if only I could learn how to make a salad :) I know our crew here is working on this 24/7 thanks to picture Kart posted, so we have somewhere to start from..
+++++++++++
Go to Ruby Tuesday's with a Bogo coupon. Your friend buy's an entree and you get the salad free. Put as much stuff on the plate as you possibly can -- all the rabbit food, cranberries, cheese, croutons, cold asparagus, picked beets, cukes, chick peas...really pile it up. Arrange it neatly, according to color and texture. Take a photo of it, send it to the Tweeters, and say, "Look at the salad I made for dinner!" It's no lie- you really DID make the salad.

*****
I think the reason Beth and Jodi were axed was because in both cases(although more so in Jodi's case then Beth's) they were developing their own fan following, hence to Kate they became competition. She can't share the limelight with anyone so they had to go.
They were the reasonable, down to earth parents compared to Kate's OCD tantrums (gumgate, grassgate, etc.) The only thing I never understood with Beth was why she may the kids potty train outside when they stayed with her, but maybe I'm remembering the episode wrong. Anyway, I think they helped to highlight, at least for me, how off Kate's behavior truly was.
Anyway, as for Steve and Jaime, well Steve is definitely her handler and perhaps more (or at least I think Kate really wants it to be more given her constant hint dropping of needing an older grey haired police man in her life) and I think has shown that he really doesn't take a lot of whining and complaining from her. As for Jaime I'm not so sure how much we'll see of her after this show. When Kate was saying how she gets rude or whatever it was when she's tense and Jaime said "Really? You?" or again something to that effect, it visibly took Kate by surprise. I think Jaime is letting the fame thing start to go to her head a little bit and was beginning to see herself as Kate's peer on the show. I'm sure Kate will set her straight.
I remember the potties outside at Beth's, but I don't think we have enough back round info to blame Beth for that. Maybe she wouldn't let the cameras film them in her bathroom and tlc wanted potty footage?
As I recall, Beth and Kate were out shopping together and Jon & Bob were babysitting/ potty training. I believe Jon said they did it that way so the kids wouldn't be running in & out of the house. I don't think Beth had anything to do with it.
Is Kate just plain stupid or clueless. What does she mean she does not know what shows she is doing or what syndicated radio show she did. The woman is totally an: A-HOLE! Man, if I were her, (and I'm glad and thank GOD I'M NOT!) I would know who I'm speaking to, what shows I'm going to be on and what stations this interview is gonna be play on, to get the word out on promoting my show. She really is turning into a didsy bleached blond. Or the bleach has given her brain damage.
Kate doesn't know how very foolish she makes herself look when she talks. First of all, her admission she has no idea what she is doing for promos because TLC tells her to jump and she jumps, once again just shows the total lack of respect TLC has for her. Any other celebrity would make sure that they have a printed, detailed schedule weeks in advance and that everything is carefully planned. It's absolutely true that some things are booked at the last minute, but that doesn't mean you are in the dark for everything else going on. TLC could give a crap, they just give her the signal when they feel like it and she performs.
Secondly, if she just does whatever TLC does to her, how in the world are we supposed to trust her to protect the children from TLC's cameras? Did TLC tell her to film them on the potty and she went along with it? Did TLC tell her to talk about the kids' school problems and she talked? Did TLC tell her to discuss the divorce and the children's private reactions and she did? What about the hours the children film, where they film, how long the kids sit on the couch? Is TLC in full control of that too?
Sorry, but if she does whatever TLC wants for promos, I don't trust for one second she doesn't just do whatever they want when it comes to filming.
I doubt this is what happened, but it's kind of funny (and sad) to think maybe Beth said no filming potties in MY house, so tlc took the kids outside for potty. Hey it's not in the house, Beth!
so sick of her said... Is Kate just plain stupid or clueless. What does she mean she does not know what shows she is doing or what syndicated radio show she did. The woman is totally an: A-HOLE!

I think the translation of this is she has ONE show tomorrow, and the unnamed others simply do not exist. Kate-Talk. Trying to pretend she is more important or sought after than she really is. Ship is sinking and she is trying to pretend it is not.

Wasn't that the time the kids were there at Beth's big house and swimming in her built-in pool? I thought they put the potties outside so the kids could go when the urge struck and not have to go in that huge house and up to the bathroom. I could be wrong - in ant case, putting the potties outside and feeling the kids using them is just plain WRONG, WARPED, and PERVERSE.
Maybe Kate could take some promotion into her own hands and seek out where she wants to be promoted. For starters she could do a lot better job with promoting herself on twitter, like getting the episode airtimes right.
My narcissist was always thinking of ways to promote herself. For instance she used to say you need to get me on Larry King about this issue make it happen, here's how you pitch it. And it would happen. She also actively sought out a reporting gig on a couple different beats she knew a lot about, and got them. Two networks turned her down but she just kept plugging away at it. One time she thought okay I want to throw the first pitch at a baseball game, she made that happen. She even sought out local venues for herself. Sometimes you have to ask again and again before you get yourself out there, but it happens if you persist enough.
Would I want to pimp myself like that, HELL NO. But this is what celebs DO.
This is the difference between Kate and real celebs. Real celebs have the kind of drive to go out there and get what they want. Kate did that in the beginning, but she hasn't made any effort to sustain it. She just sits around and gets her nails done and twitter twatters and jumps when they say jump. It's really a fluke she has managed to remain this long while having no clue how to be a real celeb.
Kate has demonstrated that her fund of general knowledge is severely lacking and she has no interest in increasing it.
With respect to her so called "career." she has sold her soul to tlc and they are in control. She is clearly "phoning it in."
Ir it is in fact Kate on twitter (I'm of two minds about that), her tweets are the best acting she has done. Note that with twitter, she is able to maintain both physical and emotional distance from her fans. She tweets platitudes (remember the Bible verses on post it notes?) innocuous information about herself (pool, car wash, salad) and unfortunately much too much information about her children.
She is a study in contradictions; her children are extensions of herself" but she allows their most intimate moments to be filmed to television. I wonder if her children provide her with a buffer zone with the world. She gets camera time/fame because of them but is able to use them as a reason to "keep her distance."
I don't remember who came up with the Evita analogy, but it was spot on. Eva Peron was a master of manipulating the public. Ultimately, Kate is a wannabe.
Her children are paying the price.
Well, found this: Kate was interview by mixphiladelphia radio station. Don't know if this show is syndicated, but I think it is, cause Kate mentioned other cities. I don't listen to radio talk shows, so I could careless. Will never go over to the site that rhymes with wedge. These are the same sicko Kate lovers, that are at that other site. The ones who hate the haters, for Hating Kate and claim they are different, but are no different from the haters they hate. They also read this site. And of course read with a closed mind, and don't get their facts straight either. I'm gonna stop, before they make me crazy like Kate. Lunatics!

LOL. Too funny. Although, I always rince the from those bags. For some reason, the bagged salads have a funky taste. Not sure why but they do so I rinse them to try and get rid of that funk. Doesn't always work though LOL.
My salad recipe is usually to call Ruby Tuesday, or TGIF or a local seafood joint and order it ahead of time. Then, first I put on the dressing, then I eat the tomato, third I eat the crunchy stuff.......:)
And for those of you worrying what it is that will conspire to hold Kate's ratings down, you know like that pesky Prince scheduling his wedding, or America's number one enemy being brought down, well worry no more. The Z has spoken, The culprit this time: THE WEATHER. How could anyone expect to get good ratings with this beautiful weather!!! I am not making this up.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The three potties were lined up near the front door. Jon was with them and maybe another guy.
This was not near the pool.
In fact I only remember Maddy and Cara in Beth's pool during the 4th of July episode. I don't think we ever saw footage of the tup in Beth's pool.

____________
Back up a bit. While they were waiting for the ride to start, Jon took out his phone and tried to take a photo of Kate and the kids with her.
Kate:"OH JOONNN!! DON"T TAKE OUR PICTURE"
Wonderful photo-op, samrt idea of Jon's but she had a problem with it.
The children were in no danger, but she scared them by yelling at Jon to "help them". Of course Hannah was white, she heard her mom yelling for help.
Jon was smart, his response was "wheeee", showing the kids with him that everything was just fine and this was fun.
I think the reason Beth and Jodi were axed was because in both cases(although more so in Jodi's case then Beth's) they were developing their own fan following, hence to Kate they became competition. She can't share the limelight with anyone so they had to go.
++++++
I really enjoyed watching Jodi and the kids. She made caring for 8-14 children look natural. I like the crafts she did with them and how she would bend down to interact with them.
She and Beth had this no-nonsense approach when Maddy tried to "test them". That comes from them being moms of older children.
I'd give Kate a pass on not knowing what time she's on. Those morning shows are live and chances are they don't know what time she'll actually appear. I've seen descriptions on actors' fan sites where all they can say is on during the first/second/third hour.
I agree with the poster who said that the Today show is it. After that greedy Gut will probably head back to her pool,eat her damn salad and tweet with her twits. You guy's are so correct about Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I'm a LCSW and have never worked with a client with NPD, but a colleague of mine has had that "pleasure". There are no meds for individuals with NPD only psychotherapy and good luck with that. I think that Kate's hand maid Steve is status in her mind and we all know how much narcissists enjoy that. As for her friend Jamie not sure, I think she(Jamie)is just a bit strange. In case Z the self appointed license police reads here I am licensed to practice in my state. Just completed my yearly required 21 ceu's. If you need anymore info Miss Z I will be happy to give it to you. Sorry if I broke the rules by saying that, just could not help myself:) I saw that clip of Kate's leg licker can we all agree that was just grossish, grossadge, grossage or whatever language it is that she speaks. I now know where all the smart people post....Here.
Isn't it possible that the foot-licking scene is more of a "teaser" to create the buzz she and TLC crave and may have been edited out of the actual episode that airs?
It seems to me that there was something in another episode preview (I think it was when the guys were power washing the house)which showed Kate in a really negative light and when the show aired, such particular thing wasn't there as had been advertised.
And Moose Mania...I have to say that your earlier comment about family viewing and "pretzels for everyone" made me literally laugh out loud.
Has anyone noticed that ZiggyFlo is no longer in existance? She closed down her blog today.
If I'm not mistaken another preview clip shown later swiffered away was Alexis using powertools, without Kate even present but some random farmer helping her, on the roof of the chicken coop. So it was just a power screw driver, thank God it wasn't a nail gun or something, but there are so many things wrong with letting such a young child use a power tool, the first being if they think they are just fine to use a power screwdriver, next thing you know they're in the shop on their own using something far more dangerous....
Anyway, I digress....this scene wasn't even in the actual episode. Many speculated it was indeed put in to cause a stir (omg little children using power tools, where is her mommy???) then cut away because it was just too controversial.
"Isn't it possible that the foot-licking scene is more of a "teaser" to create the buzz she and TLC crave and may have been edited out of the actual episode that airs?"
it is absolutely possible, even probable. Even so,
that clip absolutely jumps the shark from family programming to tlc's freaks shows.

Normally I don't allow a lot of cross talk about other blogs but......I did check and it's GONE! Hallelujah amen!
The blog that has persisted in libeling me for almost a year is finally gone. I'm relieved and I hope those posts full of lies about me never come back, I am sick of being called a beggar and I'm sick of the lies.
My cease and desist letter worked! Hehe just kidding I never sent one. If anyone knows the back story I'd allow it to be posted.
Of course it might be yet another game that nut plays, taking the blog down and getting every one in a tizzy thinking maybe she went anti-Kate on them, only to snap it back on a few days later. Sigh, we'll see.
Since some of you were talking about the boy tup going potty at Beth's house, l dug up a clip of this. Beth was with Khate at Ikea. Remember Khate's disgust at finding dust behind the freezer at McMansion? Well, on this clip look at what Jon found behind the TV at the old house. Khate should remember the adage about people who throw stones at glass houses.
Her boobs are big here, maybe she got implants before Jon was kicked out. Notice all the work he did around the house and for the kids.
Sorry if this makes your head explode.

What we are seeing is Kate now completely scraping the barrel.
Remember Kate use to stay at one of the Trump Tower Hotels in NY when she had good ratings, even during the divorce. Trump always gave her a hotel room/suite. Now, she or TLC pays for Essex House. You and I can afford the Essex House, we could not afford a Trump Hotel.How How do I know this, because I work for one of the luxury Hotels.
Kate and her entire entourage, except the TLC crew stayed at the Trump Hotels. Now, "no rooms available" Trump Hotels are luxury and I speak of thousands of dollars for suites.
When filming in Philly, I read that she stayed in a hotel where they were given cots for the kids to be in the room with the babysitter, Jaimi and Kate. Steve was across the hall, not connected to Kate's room. NO SUITES for that 2 night stay.TLC camera crew stayed at a lower rate hotel.
TLC is try to come up with ideas and NY and the nightclub, Kate drinking, Kate having her foot licked,is TLC's attempt to attract that younger viewer bracket of the 18 to 39 yr old *I think that is the age bracket*
As my 28 yr old dgtr said when looking at the clips we saw, 3 of them on ew.com, e tonight and google Kate was another longer one.
My dgtr said that any female that acts that way is usually because she has been drinking too much, very aware of what a guy is thinking if he lifts your leg up and licks your foot. Kate was lucky she had the TLC crew there to protect her.Unless they were all paid actors.
My dgtr also said she thinks there is more to Kate's relationship with Jaimi.
There is nothing wrong with homosexuality as my daughter is a lesbian and she told me when she was 14, her comforts and discomforts when she wasn't into makeup and clothes like her friends.Not boy crazy but she hid so much for so long, but I always knew, she told me and I told her she would feel comfortable enough someday to be true to herself. She is very much a female but prefers her relationships to be with other females. She was born this way and I accept her.
She said that Kate and Jaimi have that going.
If Kate is not homosexual, I will not apologize as there is nothing wrong with being homosexual but as Jon said, "Kate is not true to herself" and the only reason she would hide that is she is known as the Mother of 8 who is very lonely for a man, travels with Steve, so we think Steve is her love interest but how often has she also traveled with Jaemi?
Kate, be true to yourself and allow your children to be true to themselves also. You have a tremendous dislike for Joel and that bothered me from the beginning when both you and Jon described him as someone who likes color, lipsticks, women's shoes. Very sad."Joel always notices what a woman wears, compliments women when they visit, asks about their make up and that bothered Kate, not Jon, but it bothered Kate. Maybe that is why she put him on the laundry room floor when he had the flu, she threw him away many times.
That is all I have to say and if the Sheeples on the other sights are homosexual woman, married to men and very unhappy, then they are the only ones who would talk about gay bashing.
Their love of Kate is very questionable also. True love of Kate, someone they have never met, unless they stood in one of those lines and paid big bucks for one of those stupid books,now available for a dollar.
Like Baby Mama, what is her problem? She wants to wear Kate's skin, kind of frightening to me.
Some of Ziggy's last post:
Blog is closed and everything deleted. There has been some behavior by some of the Kate supporters which I find just as vile as the AKO'S. I don't want to be associated with such behavior even in as such a manner as "one of the Kate pro-blogs". I am still and always will be a strong Kate supporter,but I am disassociating myself from the world of pro-Kate bloggers as thats no longer a upright place to be.

From ZiggyFlo site:
Sunday, June 05, 2011
This blog is closed.
Now that I have everything deleted from this blog, have sent out some e-mail notifications, I will give further explanation.
It is two fold. The first and most important, is I need to focus more on the homefront due to changing conditions here.
The second, there has been some behavior by some of the Kate supporters which I find just as vile as the behavior of the AKO's. I don't want to be associated with such behavior even as in such a manner as 'one of the Kate pro-blogs'.
There are times when it's wrong, it's wrong, doesn't matter if it's a pro Kate blog or a anti-Kate blog.
I am still and always will be a strong Kate supporter, but I'm disassociating myself from the world of pro-Kate bloggers as that's no longer a upright place to be.
Thank those of you who have participated in my blog. I appreciate your support.
I will try to continue to post notices of the dates of the shows and any appearances by Kate which I know of.
For those who have followed me, and still would like to blog about the Gosselins, you can still do so with ethics here: The Gosselin Family Fan Site.
Anyway, I think they helped to highlight, at least for me, how off Kate's behavior truly was.
-----------------------
Silimom, you were spot on.I think this is exactly why Beth and Jodi were cut off.They made Kate look bad. Jodi could handle all the Gosselin kids plus her own and never complained. That made Kate's constant complains about how hard it is with eight kids look fake.It made her look incompetent(which, lets face it...).Of course Kate couldn't allow that to happen.Heck , TLC couldn't allow that to happen if they wanted to maintain the image.
As for the potty in the driveway incident,here's someone's impression(which I happen to share to a degree).I quote:
"BTW, the most demeaning potty training episodes were filmed OUTSIDE Beth and Bob's house. The three boys were lined up on potties in the driveway because Bob or Beth didn't want the potties in their house. While not malicious, that was an incredibly insensitive moment and Jon even commented on Collin's "stage fright" while on the pot, exposed to cameras, the street and pedestrians. His reward for being uncomfortable was a zoom close-up shot and the derisive laughter of Jon and Kate in interviews, comparing their children to dogs."

Now, here are the potty scenes:
http://tvshack.bz/tv/watch/L4B4S4N5
Start watching at the minute 9:94 so you don't have to watch the whole thing.
Wow. She's closing the blog because other people got out of control. You know what??? That's RICH. Because Ziggy herself was the one who COMPLETELY MADE UP the rumor that I begged for donations to pay off student loans, did an entire in depth post of lies about it, spread it all over the net until it became fact to the sheeple, and then REFUSED TO TAKE IT DOWN even after I said very clearly it was a lie, not one single person ever stepped forward claiming to have seen such a thing, she never had one shred of evidence of such a thing, I never did such a thing and had the bank accounts to prove it, and she was LIBELING ME. Nope, still wouldn't take it down. She toyed with a libel suit for a YEAR and I don't know, maybe I should have sued her ass.
If she is including HERSELF in this analysis that she cannot support this hate anymore, well then good. I support anyone who is finally seeing what a vicious turn it sometimes took. But it sounds to me like she is just blaming other sheeple. She needs to start with herself.
Hmm. Does anyone not buy this explanation? I wonder if one of the dozens of people she libeled actually did send her a cease and desist, it scared the crap out of her and she took everything down in a panic.
Did some quick sleuthing, and she was posting around on other blogs the past several days as if nothing was happening. She acted like everything was fine. Then overnight the blog is shut down?
I think she got a cease and desist.
Like so many people here said, ONE OF THESE DAYS IT WAS GONNA CATCH UP TO HER.
Is she going to apologize for advocating that sheeple "out" me and others and assisting them in doing so? In this case it is warranted, were her words if I recall.
Admin, that blog even tried to slander and bully Paul Petersen awhile back. I did e-mail him and told him what was being said.
I am completely astounded by all the naive people in this world. I really cannot understand how some people go through life and be so completely bamboozled by such phony people.
*********
No Regrets--I agree. We know from Jodi's sister that Kate's cooking was played up and showcased on J&K+8 to give her credibility for her cookbook. When I watched as a fan, I saw paper plates with fruit, crackers and cheese, and occasionally sandwiches. The grandma soup for winter? That amount would have never lasted and for that many people in the house, Kate should have taken up canning. It's really easy actually.
I Googled Kate's meatloaf recipe and it's a joke. I can't believe how many people fawn over it! The recipe is written in Kate's "ish" language which makes it hysterical to read. Use 2-3 eggs. Hmm...should I use 2 or 3 eggs? I don't know! Use 3/4 to 1 cups of various vegetables. Huh? Which is it? Use 1 1/2 to 2 cups bread crumbs. Did she ever test this recipe? Because when you publish recipes, they should be tested and SPECIFIC.
It's so amateur that I'm embarrassed for her.
I've had a few of my recipes published in various books etc. and can tell you that her recipe writing needs help. I can't believe she wrote a cook book. I can make a mean meatloaf and can go by feel on how much of this and that I add to it, but you have to assume that the reader/home cook knows nothing about putting a meatloaf together and guide them with specific ingredients, measurements, methods, temperature and cooking times.
And her chicken cacciatore looked like slop.
Now y'all excuse me while I go marinate my Chicken Marbella for tonight!

Hmm. Does anyone not buy this explanation? I wonder if one of the dozens of people she libeled actually did send her a cease and desist, it scared the crap out of her and she took everything down in a panic.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some people were wise enough to do screenshots and keep printouts of her site.
I read at Ziggy's a bit before I posted her comment about the weather here. I didn't read thoroughly, because I just can't over there, but everything seemed normal on the surface then. I posted around 10:00 pm Eastern and can't remember how much earlier I had read but it wasn't too long.
Know she was feuding with PattyPie because PattyPie was furious that Ziggy called her voice older sounding.
Know ??Matt Heckman?? was suing her for copy and pasting from his blog (about licenses--maybe Polly's?). Ziggy said her lawyer said she was fine there since she had (or could have) discovered the information on her own. So she acted not scared about that.
Whatever. I agree it is not a bad thing she is gone. She had the most original thinking of the sheeple I read but her logic was wonky, and her truthfulness was wonkier than that.
I think maybe Kate, herself, went too far for the Christian element. The plunging necklines are forgiven as fashionable, the crotch shots are awkwardness and the lollipop faces are mean camera work of a perfectly normal way of eating a lollipop. But the reach to explain away a man licking body parts may be too high.
I am new to this site and please forgive me, but who is Ziggy and who are you Admin? :)

Kate's fans admire her for her strength and "take charge" attitude and her dry wit (i.e., rudeness).
My take on Kate is that she has very rigid and stereotypical thinking about gender and portrays herself as a victim in situations where she is not in control.
First of all she is a "mom" who does no mothering. The label and the kids' existence is enough.
One rag mag referred to her as "adorable" in pink (at age 35 - adorable. Um, yeah.)
Then she is the "bikini babe."
Her current wardrobe is primarily "hoochie mama." while attempting to be a "femme fatale."
How many times has she said "I can't" or freaked out in situations where she was uncomfortable?
I can't: climb the lighthouse stairs, roller blade, take a skiing lesson, camp. Can she swim? I'm actually surprised that she drives.
One scene that made an indelible impression on me was at one of the amusement parks when she and Jon split the kids up and both went on the tilt-a-whirl. Mid way through the ride she started SCREAMING:
"Jon, HELP us!" as if there something he could do.
I may be in the minority but I believe that her breakdown after the sky jump was real.
If her rudeness occurs, as she has stated, when she is uncomfortable, she must be one of the most insecure people on earth.
Additionally, she is vapid and shallow and creates a persona for herself - the "Christian" quoting Bible verses and practicing the religion of prosperity (grifting from genuine Christians), moving on to ""supermom", (who won't bother to teach her children to tie shoe laces) then "can do Kate" who can't and doesn't even want to try. A little effort goes a long way.
A LOT of women have worked VERY hard over the past 100 years to gain rights (e.g., to vote) and to be taken seriously in our chosen endeavors. Kate's goal of becoming a celebrity by virtue of having given birth to 8 children is extremely disheartening. That tweens and teens look to her as a role model is positively frightening. As for the adult women who idolize her? You can't raise a grown up.
You're NOT alone in your assessment of Kate's insecurities and reasons for her behavior - I totally agree and have felt the same way for a long time.
Her legs were oiled up and we got the standard lines about how much the kids love to film and they don't want it to end. My question: how come the kids are NEVER asked directly how they feel about filming? Has the judge ever done this?
She did mention there is an episode about a gross meal (says it was her idea - NOT). Well, I guess she and Steve enjoyed their evening alone in NYC. She seemed pretty chipper.
As far as Ziggy closing her blog, I wonder if it has anything to do with her posting from the supposed insider because that was weird.
On the Today show she said that the weekend she was partying in NY was her best weekend ever!!! Of course the kids were not there!!
Well, I took one for the team, as the Today Show was on at the Gym. "To Be Honest" there really isn't much to say. They showed Kate sitting there about 4 times, when they say ...and coming up Kate Gosselin...and seriously she looked dazed. Just sat there staring at the camera. No little wave, change in facial expression etc, just dazed.
Of course, she had Meredith interview her. It only lasted about 2 minutes tops, so she obviously was just a quick time fill. Really nothing much stood out to me except she did say the two "expelled" kids went back to school shortly after her last interview with Meredith, which I don't think it was shortly after....but what do I know. I guess that depends on your definition of "shortly after"....5 or 6 months?? She said the kids still LOVE to film. She said Mady was worried the filming would come to an end soon and doesn't want it to stop. She referred to her two 10 year olds by saying she can't make them do their homework, so she definitely can't make them film if they don't want to. {Cackle, Cackle} But anyone can see the look on Cara's face says she does not ENJOY it.
She was asked about Jon and she said he is trying to do better...trying to provide a nice place for them and they seem happy when they go back with her, so as long as they are happy, she is happy. So didn't directly throw him under the bus, like past interviews, but still makes him sound like the inferior parent.
When asked what is coming up she talks about the kid's birthday, Easter and some "gross dinner" which was her filming idea, but in her words, "didn't work out well." When talking about tonights episode, Meredith asks if she regularly takes time for herself...Kate doesn't answer, but finally says, well, I exercise and the kids are my life. Something to that effect, certainly not admitting she hangs by the pool twittering all day. (used to twitter all day anyway)
Pretty sure that sums it up. I still can't believe she has no idea where she is interviewing next. What a fool, if she doesn't. I tend to agree with the poster who said, she probably doesn't have any other interviews. The Today Show 2 minutes was it.
Have a great day and please do not contribute to her ratings tonight. Cheers to her fading to black!! :)
Oops! I got Sage mixed up with Ziggy (the insider posting). Anyway, would like to see Sage go away too.
She does NOT know her way around a kitchen. If so, they would have shown her doing more in it, other than her usual complaining and moaning...
remember the Sara Snow episode? She thought Sara was out of her mind when she told her to wipe the dirt off the mushrooms. Now I knooooowww it goes totally against her manufactured OCD to not wash mushrooms, but she had never heard that before? I think I've seen that tip on just about every cooking show or cooking segment (early shows) a few dozen times! It was always crackers, cheese, grapes etc., because CRAFT SERVICES PROVIDED IT FOR THE WORKDAY, TO FEED THE WORKING CHILDREN!!!!
Oh, forgot to say, she did NOT send a shout out to her Tweeties like she promised! Just saw her tweet to them saying that she didn't have time. She also says she is on her way to Extra, to give another riveting interview.
Boycott TLC tonight!!
Ya know what's great about Jon; he KNOWS all these secrets about Kate. The Steve thing, the Beth thing, the Jamie thing, & yet he still refuses to talk about it, to drag Kate's name through the mud as she has done to him countless times. He could bring her down so badly with so many things I'm sure, just by revealing what she is/was like behind the scenes, but he chooses to stay mum, & be a bigger person. Kate however, has trash-talked him, bashed him & made him look like a jerk on so many occasions, in turn making HERSELF look like an asshat. (Although to the sheeple, Jon of course looked the bad guy) but to everyone else Kate looked like she was lower than low. Especially the forum she used, talk shows & whatnot.
I just respect Jon for not speaking out & really keeping his kids in mind by doing so. When they are older & look back at this whole mess, who are they going to perceive as they "bad guy?" Kate. She is one who aired dirty laundry. She is the one who continued filming when Jon said he wanted them to stop. She is the one who kicked everyone to the curb. She is the one who did NOTHING while Jon took care of them all the time. Good for Jon for being the better person.
~Hippie Chick~
PS my bog is working again! :)
Kate on the Today Show... she looked really good. No helmet hair! And, she managed to throw only Jon's big toe under the bus. The gist was that Jon's finally come around as a Dad, but Kate still has to put in qualifiers such as "finally", and "the kids come home happy, *mostly*.
Ah, Kate and her anger. BTW.. they did film Easter (well, not Easter but an Easter episode) and a "gross" dinner. Riveting. And of course, the kids want to keep filming (funny how they all want *exactly* what Kate wants, including Kate dating--what 7 yr old wants another Daddy? They don't)
The Today Show showed footage from her NYC exursion with Merideth implying that Kate needs the pampering. WHAT????? Someone needs to make an acronym for Kate like the Jersey Shore's GTL (gym, tan, laundry). Something like TMP, for tan, mani, pedi. It's her weekly routine and this woman needs to get away and have some me time? Puleez.
The footage (forgive the pun) of the toe licking is just salacious-- pornographic even. I wonder what Kate's bible-loving Christians think of her now? That guy didn't lick her foot, he gave her foot oral. That's what a guy does when he wants you to know he's good at oral sex-- who doesn't know this???? And they show it on a show with 8 little children in the title. Nice work, TLC. I'm sure the kids and all their little friends who watch will treasure that visual for years to come.
Well, if I look up the right school LCDS, they said the kids last day was june 3, which was friday, not wed. Kate the liar! I flip channels, to the part, when Kate was asked about the kids, asking about when/if filming will end? Kate said some lying crap about how the kids like filming. I thought Kate said they think they are playing, NOT filming. And that Maddy said the she hopes they keep filming. REALLY, putting words into the mouths of babes. I quickly changed channels, did not want to hear any more LIES. I read 2 articles this morning and they talked about the kids and Kate actually talked NICE about Jon. Geez, did TLC promise Kate something, for saying something NICE about Jon? She usually bashes him. And the crap about dating. Sorry don't buy it, that the kids gave her the OK, to date. Maybe if say they are about in their teens, but not at their ages. I've never knew any kids at their ages, telling their mom or dad, it was ok to date, the kids would always hope that their parents would get back together. Kate is worried that no man wants her, or Jon will get married and have more kids. And you know what I hope he does. Just cause Kate can't cut it, why should Jon not be happy. So, the other show is Extra? It seems that most of the sheeple are not up on their idol Kate, don't even know what radio station the syndicated show is on, let lone Kate not even knowing who she is talking to. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Poor Ziggy forgets about Google Cache. It's all still there. Want to check out an interesting read? She trashed Schmeckygirl for no reason. She made up a lie about her and then admitted she did it to show Schmecky how Kate feels.
Google "ZiggyFlo" and "SmuttyGirl" and look at the cache version. Start around comment 95.
I still think interest in her is fading. Even among the sheeple. It's just old. Old feuds, old arguments, it's all boring and overplayed. I watched the Today segment online and Kate said Maddy was afraid the show was going away soon. I wasn't sure what to make of that. Maybe she knows the ratings are bad and this will be their last season if they don't go up, by alot. It seemed like her old way of saying, poor pitiful me, please watch our show or they'll take it away.
Anyway, PLEASE don't watch tonight! Cath the reruns if you have to. I am so proud of this blog-I think most of us here don't tune in to this freak show.
Even the sheeple say they can't let their kids watch somebody lick Kate's foot, they'll have to fast forward. I'm surprised they have the good sense to know that is not appropriate for kids, good for them, but how sad is that your own fanbase has to tell you they can't watch certain parts of your show?
Kate said on the Today Show one of the twins was pushing her to get married again. Uh, huh? A ten year old is requesting to have yet one more person to share her mother's time with because seven siblings and a television crew just aren't quite enough? Sorry, not buying that one. (And Kate did use the twin's name and did tweet that her kids were getting up early to watch so the twin got to hear the balogna her mother spouted.) Thoughtful, protective mommy, that's our Kate.
Uh-oh. Kate tweeted to her twatties she wasn't able to do a shout out to them during the interview....this is what I mean about the interaction. They demand more and more and more, like shout outs for one, and when Kate doesn't deliver, what will happen?
Kate saying Jon is trying to do better isn't the WORST thing she's said about him but it's still a backhanded slam under the bus. Oh poor Jon is so pathetic, he tries SOOO hard to come up to my level, I support him in his quest to be as good as me, he's getting there, slowly but surely! Arrogant bitch. She doesn't realize how far superior his parenting is, she really doesn't. She just sees parenting as tied to STUFF, like a nice big house, high paying job, etc, stuff she has Jon doesn't.
Actually maybe she's telling the truth.
Maybe they want Kate to get married because she'll be busy with her new man-squeeze and will let them spend more time with Daddy.
And maybe they want to keep filming because the wrath of Kate when she is not filming is far worse.
Well, if I look up the right school LCDS, they said the kids last day was june 3, which was friday, not wed. Kate the liar!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++=
Nope. She didn't lie this time. The last day of school was Wednesday. I don't know what you are looking at, but Lower School final day was Wednesday.
And Kate doesn't see anything wrong with a child being afraid a show will go away soon? Why on earth should a child feel any pressure at all about a TV SHOW????
Mady she be focused on school and friends and violin and sports, not the fate of her mother's stupid disgusting social experiment with her kids.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Because the kids will be stuck on the compound, that's why. The kids are used to constant amusement, entertainment and excitement.
I hope when the show ends that Kate will see fit to spend her sizeable wealth on fun trips, gymnastics and summer camps for all who want it.
BTW.... has the Bald Head Island "tradition" gone the way of the dodo bird?
Oh, wow. Just watched the clip of the Today Show. Kate did not mention it was one of the twins who was pushing her to get married--it was a sextuplet. I watched this morning (ok, not glued to the set because The Today Show is my morning background noise and I pay attention off and on as I'm getting dressed) but I totally remembered it differently. Forgive me for posting erroneous facts!
I am beginning to think the kids really do want to film. Kate has probably told them they would get next to nothing without filming. Guilt trip?? I don't believe Kate tells the truth though. No impartial person heard the kids say they want to keep filming. So she very well could be making it up.
My kids who knew I didn't have alot, would hope for more. They didn't expect it though and were grateful for what they got. People I know who bought their kids everything--their kids kept wanting more and more as fast as new things were available.
Kate tweeted what? "@Paige_Kate8lvr yes!there getting up early. It's summer time so they can..."
Somewhere is getting up early? Where - there - there is a 'getting' to be got? Where is the 'there'?
Snark, I knew what she meant but 3rd grade grammar makes me nuts.
Also...
Tucker's Mom said... BTW.... has the Bald Head Island "tradition" gone the way of the dodo bird?
**************
I have been asking the same thing. She didnt do a single thing all spring, what happened to the great "Gosselin family tradition" she promised the kids? The past 2 years she pulled the kids out of school two weeks early to go work for her at Bald Head Island, and she swore this would continue. So instead she stays home by her concrete swimming hole?
And Good Grief, Kate hasnt been photographed in a bikini on a beach in nearly 6 months. She has such a hard life! She must be madder and meaner than a psychotic narcissist without enough attention, at this point!
I dont think she realizes or cares one little bit how her flapping mouth teaches her children they cannot believe one single thing she says. Mommy might "always be in charge" but she is always wrong. Always.

I hope that works.
Some interesting info was posted about Rep Murt's efforts in Pa. : "Again, with respect, Representative Murt picked up the ball and kept moving forward to amend the current PA Child Labor Law. The belief that this attempt to amend the law based on one TV production is wrong. This was ongoing since 2008 and included all children in the work force."
This indicates to me that the public abuse of the Gosselin children merely added fuel to his fire.
I tend to agree that the kids do want to film, honestly what else do they know? That said, some of them may not be happy doing it and you can see it in the faces, but I am quite sure that she tells them how impoverished their lives would be without TLC. What kid wants that guilt trip? Even though I am home this morning, watching Kate and Meredith is more than I could stand, so thanks to anyone who gave up 4 minutes and shared. What amazes me is how TLC continues to parade her around for interviews when they have shows with better ratings and they give them way less publiciity. Most of the feedback they get with this Twitidiot appears falls into the "who gives a damn" category, so why they bother is beyond me. Fine, drive her around NYC today, doubt your ratings will improve much, especially since the video clips already show her disgusting behavior.
Now that I think about it, Meredith asked her what is coming up and she mentioned the few episodes I listed above, but did not promote any kind of "big trip" to look forward to. I wonder if TLC is going to send them anywhere this summer?
If they are going to film the summer away, it seems to me even if she is not allowed to say where they are going, she could say something to the effect of, we are filming some really exciting episodes for the summer, just to keep interest and promote her own show. Instead of saying something like that, she talks about how her and Mady would be so upset if the show ends. Maybe trying to get "fan" support?
Maybe she is not going anywhere but her backyard pool, as I am sure she was planning on a fully funded TLC Summer! Poor kids.
Please don't watch tonight!! :)
I believed that Jodi and Beth disappeared because narcissistic Kate didn't need them anymore. They were no longer useful...Jodi to babysit and Beth to ghost-write one of her books.
Those with NPD have no problem discarding other people....even if it's family.
I think it was Leah who said Kate should get married because it's getting boring around there? Are you kidding me? With all the film-crew at the house half of the time? They have more activity going on than most children do. And you would think they would really enjoy some quiet-time.
However, I do agree that it might have been because they want Kate to be around even less and/or go to Jon's more....so shmoozed Kate in order to get this. But I doubt a 7 year old would think of this.
Also...remotely possible is that regular life seems boring to them after all the traveling they've done. Doesn't bode well for their futures once the show is gone. This reason is the main one given for why many child stars ended up in negative circumstances.
Female narcissists always seem to have one obsequious side-kick for some reason. And for now....this is Jamie. She knows how to do everything Kate wants, the way Kate wants it done. Possibly....they need to have a person who tells them how awesome they are constantly?
According to my DishNetwork TV schedule the episode of K+8 where Kate goes to NYC with Jaime and the kids trash the house will be REPEATED on Monday, June 13 at 4:00 pm PST (7pm EST).
So please read the recap here this week, and watch the repeat next Monday.
That way you can vote with your remote and yet still see the crappy episode.
No viewers = no sponsors = NO SHOW
It is time to let the 8 retire!!!
The narcissistic boss's assistant I worked with was very obsequious, as I said in the last post....BUT she was very clever and savvy....gave the boss excellent advice, which she came to count on and got along well with the other employees and was able to smooth a whole lot of things over that could have turned out very badly. She had the "in's with the boss and could help other employees who she had set her sites on....something you did NOT want her to do, as she was relentless as she went after you.
BUT....she was clearly devoted to and loyal to the boss. Enough so that the boss trusted her.
I think she bribes the kids to want to film. Why not? They get vacation from school. Frankly, those kids are spoiled rotten with all the toys and just "stuff" they've been showered with. Plus, I bet they've been told they won't be able to continue living in their beautiful home because because mommy won't be able to afford it. Kids are always eager to please their parents and we all know what a manipulator Kate is. This is why these children need an unbiased person to watch out for their interests when the parent makes their children work.
They should also show a repeat at 11 pm tonight. They always have before.
You gotta remember....Kate lies in order to manipulate. Always. She can't stop herself from lying, even if there's no reason to lie.
The reason the lies work so well is that they could be true, BUT THEY'RE NOT! And no one seems to question it. (Except us.)
Like she runs 4 miles a day. It could be true, but probably isn't when you look at all the other clues. Or what a great cook she is. It could be true, but probably isn't based on what we've seen. Or what a great mom she is. It could be true, but clearly isn't.
The hoopla about Leah said it's boring around here with only you....What makes you think Leah actually said that????
Or the hoopla about Mady being concerned that the show is coming to an end....why do we so readily believe that Mady said that?
We've seen this before, the kid could have said whatever, but probably didn't. It's what KATE is thinking, not what the kid is thinking/saying.
Or it's what Kate is WISHING the kid would say. But they didn't. They're too little to think that stuff on their own.
If they WERE saying it, it's because it was a topic Kate (inappropriately) brought up in their presence, trying to manipulate them into something or another, or use what the kid is saying to manipulate someone else.
Didn't anyone catch her interview on Access Hollywood Live? I know she didn't tweet about it but that is probably because she thinks she was doing the taped Extra interview she mentioned and not the live Access Hollywood she actually did. Anyway she was a bit better at throwing Jon under the bus (He CHOSE JUST FOUR DAYS A MONTH to see his kids, she wishes he would see them more, etc). The relationship is maybe more civil than it has been but . . . At least he DOES HAVE A JOB NOW.
Much better toss than on the Today Show.
Also, of interest, she had been scheduled to run a mini marathon (for a cause no less) but life just got in the way, shrug, eye-roll. Guess she needed to polish the leather on the couch or something because I don't remember a crushing schedule lately. However, she is managing an hour a day or so (5,6 or 8 miles).
The next interview said...

I didn't see this (never watch any of that garbage like ET, AH etc) but really, does Jon only have custody 4 days a month? I wonder if that's his choosing or if it's imperative because of the kid's filming schedule.
That's just not enough time with his kids. I don't know what to think of it.
Oh, and Kate dear, if you were in touch with reality, real reality, not your "kids running in and out of frame" reality, you'd know that unemployment is over 9%, and finding a job can take a year or more for non media-whores.
She doesn't know how easy and good she's got it.
Don't care to see Kate lie, and um her way through another interview- so I didn't watch ;o)
I'm going for a jog on the treadmill (it's too hot to jog outside).
I wish you all a lovely day!
FREE THE GOSSELIN KIDDIES-
BOYCOTT TLC TONIGHT!!

Can we get a link please? :)
I think Kate on some level probably realizes she needs to get remarried if she wants to keep the show going. How sad that you would marry someone just so TLC won't cancel your show. Still, publicists regularly hook up stars who have no remote interest in each other just to generate buzz, so why should this be any different?
We live in such a shallow world.
OMG!! She is such a terrible interview. Watching her on the Today show was, at the very least ...uncomfortable. It seemed like she couldn't find her words. If Mady said the show could end soon.......then they obviously know something about the state of the show. Kate also knows her time time is passing. Why would Mady even say that? It sounded like she was perparing herself for it. also saw "access". Looked like her heart was not in it. She again looked like she was searching for words. Looks like she has no more "fight" in her.
Interesting she mentioned Mady thinking/feeling show might be ending soon. There are 3 episodes we've heard about, "Easter," gross dinner and TN Food bank. Counting tonight's show that ends up being epi 9,10,11 & 12. Are they filming? Kate didn't mention that, sounded more like she was pitching that she doesn't want the show to end. Is that why the kids are saying they're bored -- no filming? According to Kate's tweets the show will be new episodes all summer. Did she mention they're filming on the Access Hollywood interview? Hmmmmm.
BTW, I didn't see any toe sucking. Kate had her shoe on. He was licking the top of her foot.
It did seem to me (watching the Today Show) that Kate and the kids think the filming will be coming to an end sooner rather than later. It can't go on forever, yet Kate doe not seem to acknowledge this, and she has gone back to putting it out there by saying how much everyone wants to keep on filming.
I think the question to ask (not that any of these hacks would) is "do the kids want to be filmed? Do the kids want to be on TV?"
Of course they want to go on trips and do fun things. Of course! It's the collateral things that go along with it that I do not believe they've been able to truly comprehend at this point.
Do they know they're the f-word? Do they want to be the f-word? Do they want all their school mates watching their every move, every trip, every meal?
Why doesn't anybleepingone ask this?

Back In Action Monday!
Billy Bush and Kit Hoover have the day’s biggest news, including all the action from the MTV Movie Awards. Plus, reality star and mother of eight Kate Gosselin is here along with former “Dancing with the Stars” contestant and Disney darling Chelsea Kane. Then, trainer Chris Powell from “Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition” and “Whale Wars” star Captain Paul Watson stop by. Finally, Food Network star Cat Cora is cooking up some tasty summer treats
Four days a month works out to every other weekend. Isn't that what their custody agreement has been since he was no longer allowed onto the property?

According to my DishNetwork TV schedule the episode of K+8 where Kate goes to NYC with Jaime and the kids trash the house will be REPEATED on Monday, June 13 at 4:00 pm PST (7pm EST).
---------------------------------------------
Also, my Dish Network guide says that next week, Monday 6/13, there are TWO new episodes, at 10 and 10:30 pm(EST). So, they’re going from hour episodes to half hour episodes. Hmm, it looks like they only have a few episodes in the can, so maybe it will be over soon? If they air one episode tonight and two next week, how can they possibly have enough new episodes to air weekly all summer?
Plus, I noticed that on the Today Show, she only mentioned three upcoming episodes – tonight’s birthday in NYC, "an awesome Easter episode”', and “a gross dinner episode". I noticed she did NOT mention any upcoming travel plans this summer to film episodes and I think she certainly would have gotten that in if there were any plans.
As far as the rest of the Today Show interview. I love the way her very first word was “Um..”. I totally predicted that, lol. Here’s my count for the FOUR MINUTE interview:
"Um" - 16 times"
"I mean" - 6 times
"You know" - 6 times
Ha ha, keep hoping for that future hosting something on tv, Khate! My ten year old has a far better vocabulary.
Finally, she said about the kids:
"They are constantly asking, ‘Where are we going? What are we doing? What's next?"
That is just bizarre, ("bezerk”, lol) and sad. They seem as unsatisfied with their life at home as Khate does. Maybe they’re always asking where they are going next because all they’ve ever known is TLC sponsoring all these first class trips where TLC staffers arrange every single activity, usually with a special tour guide just for them, special access to things, and no lines. Wait until they find out that life does not work that way.
I know we’ve all said it before, but hey, Kate, here’s a novel concept – if you and the kids are not content to play in your own backyard and pool this summer, get off your flat ass and research and book a nice family vacation to some place they would enjoy. Reach for your own very fat wallet to fund it, plan activities for them all by yourself like all other parents do, buy yourself a camera (duh), and go take a PRIVATE summer vacation like most of the rest of the world does. Although, I must say that Khate and her kids are the last people that I know of that actually need a vacation at the moment.
My guess is either Kate was lying about what Leah said or she is taking it out of context. What child would say that they want their mom to remarry because it is boring with just her? That was a way to stick it to Jon and the rhetoric is part of TLC's plan to put her out there as eligible in line with tonight's episode.
I concur with others....don't give TLC the numbers tonight. In fact, some sheeple may not watch because they don't want their children to watch their hero getting her ankle licked. Nasty. How embarrassing for Cara and Mady.
So she says she rarely gets a weekend to herself?? Doesn't jon get the kids EVERY OTHER WEEKEND?? Does that not translate to YOU GET EVERY OTHER WEEKEND OFF?? And she's again lying because a weekend does not constitute ONE DAY! She's probably not counting the Friday drop off and Sunday pickup as "days" he has them, technically they're with him for only one full day-Saturday.
I'm sure if she'd PERMIT the FATHER OF HER CHILDREN to step on his KIDS property, he'd be more than willing to give her many a weekend off, not to mention evenings!
I totally agree with Mel. She voices her own concerns through her kids. No, Mady probably didn't say she was concerned the show would end. Those were Kates words. Once again...uses her kids to state whats on HER mind. It's her way of begging for viewers. Although, she did sound a little worried. Why did that line even come out of her mouth? She knows something we don't know. Kate might be a liar....but no one said she was a GOOD liar!
The foot licking will be blamed for low ratings. Why, we just didnt want our kids to see that. No wonder ratings are so bad. Haha.
No Bald Had Island because TLC didn't pay. Simple as that.
~Hippie Chick~
They should also show a repeat at 11 pm tonight. They always have before.
I saw it's repeating at 1:a.m, none before. That is just a kick in the ass. Kate...it seems she is going down. Does she not realize this? It seems not, she is so dumb.
~Hippie Chick~
I believe Kate when she says that Mady told her that she doesn't want to stop filming and that Leah gave her permission to date, but only after burrowing through all of Kate's BS.
Kate's always twisted words to suit her purpose and I can totally picture Mady, after having experienced an exhilarating drop off of the Sky Tower in NZ, being scolded by Kate for something telling Mady they'd just stop the show and go home and Mady replying, 'no, please, I don't ever want to stop filming'. Or, after a boring weekend at home with nothing to do, Kate tells Leah that Jamie is coming to visit and Leah replies, 'sure Mommy - it's getting boring with just you around here.' See sheeple, anyone can twist words to suit their purpose, but at least I'm not believing ANY version, including Kate's.
I thought Kate once again threw Jon under the bus with her not so clever, choice of words. When you say someone is "trying" to do something you imply they're not being successful, but they're at least making an attempt. So by saying Jon is "trying" to do better she means he has yet to succeed, he's "trying" to provide a nice place for the kids, but he isn't, and the kids "seem" happy when they go back with her, but they really aren't. Short of coming right out and using the exact words I don't know how much worse she could have trampled him again. She's a WITCH and needs to SHUT HER MOUTH!!!
(sorry Admin, couldn't enter a username again)
Once again Kate throws Jon under the bus. She nauseates me.
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20500162,00.html
For the first time... She's showing that she can see the writing on the wall. Just couldn't hide it this time. Who knows in what context that whole conversation with Mady happened. The important thing is that it doesn't sound "good" for her show. Of course, it's everyone right to watch her show but..... PLEASE don't watch!!!!!!
Hey Admin, only comment I will make about the Z twit. From reading her blog over the last few months, she has teetered on the line of Libel for a lot of people and probably got a real case of reality that you just can't keep making stuff up, calling it fact (over and over) and expect the sane thinking public or blog readers to wake up and accept the insanity that was Ziggy. Good ridance, now a couple more and all the trash will be gone (as least in my small world of Gosselin drama).
All the sheeple are saying Kate looked good and she was nice about Jon, BUT that we "haters" will find something wrong with what she said.
Reading between the lines, I'm betting that the sheeple know Kate should have just kept her mouth shut about Jon or at minimum just said "everythings fine" and left it at that.
Her parenting skills are very different than Jon's??? What a bitch!
She's right her skills are horrible.
She was certainly not nice about Jon. She said she's done with little boys.
Well, maybe Jon's done with child exploiters, Kate.
Did anyone notice at the end of Merideth's interview, she said, ''Good luck to you and your family''? Has she ever said that before? It sounded like a final goodbye to me....God, I hope so. It's time for Kate to go away just like Merideth. Can't be too soon for me on both counts.
I quit watching the Today show soon after Merideth joined and I quit watching Kate after the first epidose. Yes, epidose....lol

Was this from an interview today? I missed that. The Access Hollywood interview really, really makes it sound like Jon has and wants minimal visitation with the kids. That's very sad if it's true.
And coy Kate acting like she's got to really think haaaaaaaaaaard about what Jon's job is. It's not embarrassing to know what your ex does for a living. It's as though Kate has to really try to be indifferent to Jon and his life now. As if any involvement with him reflects poorly on her. I don't get it.
She married him and chose him to be the father of her children, and now she acts like she barely knows him and is loathe to even acknowledge Jon.
"The kids enjoy spending time with him," she says of her ex, 34. "They wish he would see them more, but as long as they come home happy – and more or less they do – I'm okay with that, so that's good."
I like the "more or less" dig. No matter what good he does she's always got to keep him down. She's so afraid he might actually look better than her. I was married to an a-hole like her once. Key word.....was.
Did Kate mention the sextuplets born last week in Abington, Pennsylvania? The G8 are really old news now! Hey TLC, are you listening? Abington is not too far from Reading.
"She said she's done with little boys."
What about her own 3 sons?
Nobody likes a Narcissist said...
I noticed that on the Today Show, she only mentioned three upcoming episodes – tonight’s birthday in NYC, "an awesome Easter episode”', and “a gross dinner episode". I noticed she did NOT mention any upcoming travel plans this summer to film episodes and I think she certainly would have gotten that in if there were any plans.

I wonder if TLC gave up on the new image of Kate "giving back" with the Tennessee Food Bank episode or did Kate forget they went to TN and that she's supposed to be a giver now?

***********
If Kate is worried, I think it's more a matter of her finally realizing something we've known for a long time -- that her run on tv is almost over because the show is done.
Does anybody else notice how Kate acts like a total loudmouth obnoxious banshee on her show, but on talk shows she acts all cutesy and sweet and demure and prim and proper?
Who the eff is this woman? She is such an effin' phoney is who she is!
Look at Nene Leakes. She's a loudmouth on her show BUT she is also the same person on a talk show. She doesn't pretend to be two different people based on who is filming her at the time. She is who she is.
But Kate is two COMPLETELY different people depending on who her audience is at the moment.
I hate her. I usually reserve that word for criminals and truly evil people. But I really do hate her.
This is very interesting about Ziggy. Remember a few months back a few blogs were posting there was a Sheeple who had turned and was no longer a Kate supporter? Do you think it could be Zig? Some people knew who this person was but they wouldn't reveal his or her name.
It's interesting to think that. I never read her blog so I don't know what she said about this blog or any other. Kind of a mystery?
Nobody likes a Narcissist posted Re: Today Show interview:
Finally, she said about the kids:
"They are constantly asking, ‘Where are we going? What are we doing? What's next?"
------------------------------------------------
When Khate starts that BS (subtle, selfish grifting), I would love for an interviewer to ask, "How are you preparing your children for a life without cameras?" This show isn't going to last forever, and the kids need to learn that the constant trips and freebies are going to end at some point. Too bad Khate's just a big kid herself and can't think ahead of tomorrow. Going back to that original statement of "When, where, what", it makes her, and her kids, sound selfish. I'd love to hear, from their mouths, that the kids are grateful, and also express that they understand they are lucky and not all kids have as much. Unless the kids have never said anything about what's next, and Khate is just speaking for them, as usual.
Regarding Leah's comment about it being boring with just Khate at home, I actually took it a different way. Perhaps she was just saying that Khate is boring because she doesn't play with us or pay us any attention. Did Leah actually say the word "dating" or did she just say it's boring with only mom at home? She's still very young and though she knows Jon is her dad, the fact he's not living in the big house is probably confusing. When my youngest brother was the tups' age, he asked me when I would get to be his mom (I was 18 or so). Kids that young may not fully understand family roles, especially under special circumstances, ie. divorce, or in my bro's case, having a big sister that is an adult.

====================
No. That is Kate spin. Same old, same old. Jon wanted the kids when Kate was busy living her never-at-home jet set life and she said No. She left the kids for days with one or two sitters because she hated giving Jon or the kids any thing extra. Jon did not have a 9 to 5 he had to be at then. Kate even fired the competent, loving nanny because she kept in touch with Jon About The Raising Of Jon's Kids. She overrode Jon's custody days to make the kids work. She reluctantly agreed to every other weekend at Jon's because, even though she would have preferred having the kids working she understood Jon would have taken her to court yet again if she didn't give at least that. Now that there is no week end work Kate wants to dump the kids. She is whining. It's all Jon's fault. If he just loved his kids a little more he would quit his day job and stay with them night and day so Kate could just get some rest!
I don't for one second believe Jon doesn't want those kids every minute he can get them. Kate is just being Kate. Totally.
It looked to me like Kate got cut off this morning.She says "we have my b-day episode, an amazing Easter episode, a gross dinner..." and seemed to want to continue but got cut off because her time was off. Anyone else got that impression?

Aeris, you are absolutely right.I remember reading somewhere, a while ago, that a child's love map(i.e. the way he gives and receives love) forms around the age of 6-7. Special circumstances will screw up their entire love map.This is why it's so wrong that Kate keeps them away from their dad.What if she tells them their dad doesn't care about them? That he wants to stop the filming because he doesn't want them to be happy? This could scar the kids for life. Also, alienating the real family and telling them a bunch of strangers who follow them around with mics and cameras represent family? Those kids may grow up to think that's what family is all about.They are clearly too young(the tups at least) to remember what it was like when the real family was around.Poor kids! Having money is good, nobody can deny it, they come in handy. Going on trips, yeah, it's obviously really fun. But these kids are being way overcharged, they're paying for these trips more than other people.Really sad!
Aeris, you are so right about the Tups at their age, not having an understanding of what is going on, with their parents. That was all Kate's words. Since considering that, when the Tups are on the couch talking or talking at all, one can hardly understand what they are saying, much less understand what they are talking about. They are very immature for 7 year olds, so I doubt that the Tups can even think up talk like that. Maybe the twins. The Duggars kids at the same age are very, understandable when they talk, and do not bounce around, but sit and talk. What a difference.

FREE THE GOSSELIN KIDDIES-
BOYCOTT TLC TONIGHT!!
I couldn't agree more Pink!!!
The ONLY WAY to get this show OFF THE AIR is not to tune in tonight *AT ALL*.
The same episode will be aired next Monday, June 13. Just wait a week to see the episode, it is only 7 days.
Kate must be really desperate to drum up viewers for tonight's episode - The Today Show, People, Access Hollywood. She knows she better drum up interest in her show ...
Now if people don't watch tonight and we have even lower ratings than before, it will be just another nail in the coffin and then the kids can retire!

I don't understand the ratings system at all, but one of the mods on another blog posted that whether we watch or not makes no difference at all unless we are one of the chosen few that are monitored.
I wouldn't watch the show regardless because I simply cannot stand to look at her or listen to that voice, which is why I didn't see the interview today, nor will I watch the video.
On another note - I couldn't sleep last night and was reading the verbal attacks going back and forth on Twitter between the fellow who wants to date Kate, and one of the guys who used to post here. It was a bit out of control - the mud-slinging and disparaging remarks being made. When Kate's hopeful date posted here, I thought he seemed okay, not bad at all, a decent sort of guy. But after reading that garbage last night, if I were Kate, that would be the end of it. If he loses his cool and calls someone a "turd" on Twitter, I'd be afraid of how that anger would explode in the real world, especially around children. I'd question his patience and self-control.
I wouldn't want my kids listening to such language or being exposed to that kind of behavior.
What was really pathetic was when his defenders said that he handled the confrontation just fine and another one said that he has class. Class? Calling someone a turd! On what planet is that "class?" Sheeple continue to amaze me, especially the needy teenagers who believe that Kate prefers teens and they are among her chosen group.
Dee 3 said: Female narcissists always seem to have one obsequious side-kick for some reason. And for now....this is Jamie. She knows how to do everything Kate wants, the way Kate wants it done. Possibly....they need to have a person who tells them how awesome they are constantly?
******************************************************************
This is absolutely true! My mother in law is a narcissist and she has always been this way as well. She runs out of people to put up with her crap and then voila! a "friend I've had forever" appears! Of course, nobody has ever seen or met this person, but she will try and convince you they have been good friends forever. That's exactly what I thought when Jamie showed up on the scene. She's either some distant friend from years ago that was more of an acquaintance back in the day - OR - she's a paid employee. Neither would surprise me. And yes, narcissists have to have someone around at all times to stroke their ego. When they quit doing so, they're gone. On to the next victim.
Also, did I read that she stated in an interview today that Jon "CHOSE to have the kids only 4 days a month?" If she did in fact say this, and it turns out to be a lie (which I'm sure it is because it makes Jon sound like a terrible parent), can't Jon take her back to court on this? She's always dragging him back to court for speaking about their custody situation it seems like this would be a great time to repay the favor. Of course, Jon is being the bigger person as of late and will probably just let it roll rather than feed her narcissistic supply, but it sure would be tempting!
I haven't watched the show in years, but I'll be anxious to read your recap - it's always way better than having to sit and stomach watching the show! Thanks for taking one for the team!!

Do you have a link as to where all of this was reported? It sounds like insider info, and if it's not, I'm curious as to where it came from, especially the firing of the "competent, loving nanny."
It all sounds like something she would do, but I'm curious where it was confirmed.
You know, I can sort of see why Leah would want Kate to date--no, here me out!
Let's use little-kid logic: "Daddy is happy and Mommy is mad. Daddy has Ellen and Mommy has nobody. If Mommy has a boyfriend, Mommy will be happy too!"
As we saw from the Sarah Palin episode, Kate punishes everyone around her if she isn't happy, so I can see why Leah might--MIGHT--have said that.

Perez Hilton has posted an interview with Kate from this weekend. He references tonight's episode, as a season premiere, and keeps referring to this as a new season of Kate Plus 8.

I just read the account of the bus throwing (Holly Baby) and looked at the photo of smiley Kate. Dress is cute, BUT is that the strap and part of the cup of the pink wonder bra that we are seeing? At least we know it's available in pink - now if only she'd reveal the name of the manufacturer!

====================
Oh dear. I was going to post with a disclaimer but at the last second deleted it. Here it is:
All the preceding is my opinion only. I came to my opinion by reading blogs and articles. As far as I know nothing is supported on videos anywhere. As far as I remember ALL is supported in print online.
I add this: Nothing is insider information or intended to give that impression nor am I referencing "insider information". I am a random poster posting my thoughts. I read a lot and remember a lot of what I read. But I don't keep copies. When I am doing a research paper I reference myself. When I am posting on a blog--not a scientific blog but an OPINION blog, I don't hold myself to the same standards.
Some highlights from the Perez Hilton interview covering some topics discussed on this blog:
Perez Hilton: On this new season of the show, can we expect or do you, have you, would you go on any dates? Is that in the cards for you?
Kate Gosselin: Well I hope that it's in the cards for me someday to go on some dates. But I don't know. I mean, I'm not going to rule it out as a possibility. It's my real life, and so if that happens that would be pretty fun probably.
Perez Hilton: So you know after this next season of the show, would you be open to doing maybe a different kind of show like — I'm guessing not because you seem very focused on just being a mom. But would you maybe be open to a dating show? Because I think a lot of people would be interested in seeing you in that role.
Kate Gosselin: I've said it on a million interviews today and I'm going to stop saying no to things because if I say never, it seems to happen. So I'm never going to say never again and so therefore I don't know, you be the judge. I mean, if it was the right thing and it was tasteful and whatever, I'm not going to say, I'm not going to say yes either but at this point. But I mean I am, I do want to meet somebody....
(Questions below submitted by Perez Hilton's readers)
Perez Hilton: Brittany Miller wants to know and I'm sure I want to know too, you know how do you deal with the con — not con, with the criticism that comes your way because people have these misconceptions about you?
Kate Gosselin: ...When harsh things come my way, when things are written, when people say things, I turn it around and use it as constructive criticism. So I say if that's what you see about me, and you don't like, I'm just going to work harder to do better.
Kate Gosselin: No, if I hear things. I don't read it, I mean stuff comes across my twitter and obviously I block awful stuff. But I don't go out my way, no, to read stuff. But if I hear — you know people will come to me and say, ″Oh, did you hear that people will think that″ I'm using this as an example. ″That you keep the kids from Jon?″ You know that kind of, anything that's negative that comes my way that I hear in anyway, shape or form, no. I mean, I don't actively read stuff because clearly there's way too much written about me in my opinion that is so false. So I mean, like my image is that I'm harsh and mean, and whatever so I just work to be everything that is not that. And it actually has really worked because if people open their mouths and criticize you then, and you hear about then I don't know, it gives you something else to think about and prove them wrong.
Perez Hilton: That's a good answer. Michael B wants to know if you weren't doing reality TV anymore, what would you be doing?
Kate Gosselin: Like if TV ends for me, what would I be doing?
Perez Hilton: Yes.
Kate Gosselin: Well, first of all I hope it never ends because I enjoy it and I feel like I get to do a job that I love. So if it's not reality TV, if it's TV in some way, shape or form that would be my goal. So my hope is that it doesn't end part A. Part B of that answer is if it would end, I'm assuming that I would go back to being a nurse but I feel like I've run a business and I think it would be really fun to buy and run a business, whatever that may be. I have some thoughts. But –
Perez Hilton: Well you could start that now, and that could be part of your show.
Kate Gosselin: I know. Well the thoughts that I have, my kids aren't old enough yet so it would be like a family business that we could all do together. But I'm thinking about it.

Haven't you all noticed that TLC did not fly her to LA to interview with Billy Bush or for Access Hollywood? She sits there in NY, does the radio interviews locally, does the TV shows from NY, no money being spent on her. She stays at the Essex House, not the "old place which was Trump Towers" and she does not get a suite like she use to but 2 separate rooms, one for her and one for Steve. As no Paps chasing her down.
She is really not a smart women. If she was, she would pay to fly herself out to LA and volunteer to do the interviews from there, her own dollar, but she is stupid and following TLC right down the toilet and that is where they are sending her before the big flush!
She would have a schedule for filming for this summer and she would have had an idea for where to go and if she had to, throw a few dollars in and go coach, not first class, go to Bald Island, NC and not get the private home but offer to get an apt and "rough it" with Jaimi, the kids and Steve. GET REAL.
She is "doing herself in" that is exactly what is happening. She should pull herself off of Twitter and start her own BLOG and let people who have marital problems, child problems write in, sort of like an advice column and make a start that way. She is really hitting bottom fast.
Even if tonight she gets some ratings, it is not going to last for the Easter episode, the foot sucking will pull in the weirdos, that is all.
Above all else, she has no dignity, if she did, she would stop, and I repeat, stop bad mouthing Jon.
I watched Billy Bush' interview and as soon as they asked about Jon's job and Kate badmouthed it, Billy said I need solar panels on my house. So, she is not getting anywhere with the men who conduct these interviews because they see Kate as a Bitch. I believe they liked Jon. So she should stop it with bad mouthing Jon.
M.Veira of the Today show said "good bye and good luck to you and your family because she is leaving the show and won't be there to interview again, if that should ever happen.
Well, I'm done, but if the stupid witch reads this, she should pick up on these ideas. If Jaimi is a real friend, she will go with Kate and the kids to a summer place and let TLC film. After all it is not TLC that films but a production company that Kate partially owns, although I don't know how much of an interest she has in it. But she could forego part of her salary to film, cut back by perhaps $100,000 and take a quick course in "being nice to her children on camera and stop the frigging screaming and get real" Even a tour of Lancaster would make a good episode.
She is stupid because right now, she still has a contract and she can call the shots, but she has to know what she is doing, not keep following some PR person at TLC who knows "they will not renew her contract" Wake up Kate, get off Twitter, get away from the teenie boppers Mom and get with it. Yes, I could be hired but since I don't approve of what you have done to your entire family including Jon, I will not allow you to contact me.

Moose Mania,
I don't know if the mods are right or not. What I know for sure is that if I am having a problem with my DVR, and even though it is not hooked up to a phone line, DishNetwork is able to troubleshoot my DVR remotely.
If they can do that, are they also tracking what I am watching too and then being paid to report to the various networks what I am watching?
I know this household is NOT a Nielsen family, but with all the technology out there, do they need Nielsen anymore?
Since I don't have all the answers I will repeat what I wrote earlier:
The ONLY WAY to get this show OFF THE AIR is not to tune in tonight *AT ALL*.
If you need to see Kate in a bar to snark on her, please wait a week and watch a repeat episode.
Again, the only way this show will be canceled is if no one tunes in to NEW EPISODES, yes even a repeat episode on the same day the new one airs.
When I am posting on a blog--not a scientific blog but an OPINION blog, I don't hold myself to the same standards.
Curious again - so you report that she fired a loving and competent nanny who wanted to stay in touch with Jon, and make statements about custody - without knowing for a fact that this is true? Why wouldn't a poster hold himself/herself to the same standard as on a scientific blog? Yes, there are opinion blogs, but there is such a fine line between opinion and fact that the reader has a difficult time distinguishing between the two, especially when it sounds like what is being said is a statement of fact. A rumor or heresay gets picked up as "fact," and it spreads like the proverbial wildfire. I would think that the poster would want the readers to know what is fact, and what is obtained from reading various internet reports, which are all subject to scrutiny and interpretation.
Thanks for the disclaimer! :)
tonight in the uk we have new series kate plus 8
the episode were the dog returns and halloween
everything about this show is so materialistic.kate picking all the stuff up for halloween .

So, according to Kate, when her TV Career comes to an end, she has already planned on putting the kids to work in another "family business." How about this Kate. You are the ADULT, you are the one who is supposed to WORK to SUPPORT your kids. You are not supposed to wait until they are old enough to support you! You selfish, lazy, piece of work.
DO NOT WATCH TONIGHT!!!
Well, the day started off hopeful with Kate treating Jon with kid gloves, but the Perez Hilton interview... well, the gloves are OFF!!
Kate accuses Jon of not spending enough time with the kids when he absolutely could; she's offered. And, she makes him sound like he's got anger management issues, saying that he usually winds up yelling and screaming at her when they talk.
Holy frickin' smokes. Jon's under the bus again with semi-permanent tread marks from his head to his toes.
Either that, or Jon's really is a terrible person and dad, at least that's the gist of Kate's commentary.
I'm not a therapist, nor do I have any background in psychology, but perhaps someone reading here does. In reading the Tweets from the teen sheeple, I noticed two of them, both young girls, have crushes on Kate. They need to constantly reaffirm their love for her.
Is this just one of those teenage things, or does it lead to more deeply emotional issues? When she is gone for good, will they feel abandoned and confused and what is the result of this disconnection on the human psyche when this happens? Is the let-down easy, and do they just shift their adoration to someone else and continue this love affair, or are there more serious consequences?
Obviously, as admin has pointed out, they are seriously lacking something at home - they
have needs that aren't being met to the point that the feel that not a day can go by when they can not tell Kate how much they love her (and they do use the words, "I love you").
I don't understand the fascination that Kate would have on a young teenage male. Why is she tweeting them? Is it normal for an 18-year-old something guy to be attracted to a 36-year-old woman with eight kids? How does this evolve, and why? My older kids think she's crazy and not at all attractive, but I guess I just have normal children!
I wish I had majored in psychology in college, or pursued a grad degree in that subject. All of this is fascinating to me...
So it's not even about filming them it's about making them work to pay her way no matter how they do it, good grief. She has got to be joking here. Does she not understand her job is to support her kids and their job is ..... SCHOOL. For pity sake.
In my opinion, Kate putting those children on TV, and all that stems specifically, isn't even in the top 5 of her bad mothering 'moments'. These kids would be just as traumatized and hurt, even more so then they are now, without the cameras and fame.
Unbelievable said...
So, according to Kate, when her TV Career comes to an end, she has already planned on putting the kids to work in another "family business." How about this Kate. You are the ADULT, you are the one who is supposed to WORK to SUPPORT your kids. You are not supposed to wait until they are old enough to support you! You selfish, lazy, piece of work.
DO NOT WATCH TONIGHT!!!
************************************************
She's a lying sack of sh*t.
The more she talks, the more I dislike her.
It's clear (and has been clear for years) what her intentions are with her children/circus act.
I have to say, she did not fool any of us here with her her kids are playing in front of the cameras bullsh*t.
She's failing her children big time by selling their privacy for entertainment.
What a LOW LIFE, LYING LOSER...
LOL on the People.com interview. Both the People website and their Facebook have nothing but negative comments. Really people just want her to GO AWAY!!!
VOTE WITH YOUR REMOTES PEOPLE!!!!!
Moose, you are welcome for the disclaimer. I remember (but am not going back to find for reference) at one point Admin said we did not have to keep putting a disclaimer on our postings because everyone knew it was an opinion blog and understood we were posting our opinions.
Here are two sources I found to back up some of my thinking. (This is as far as I am going with this.) It is impossible to be as meticulous in supporting opinions as it is in supporting facts--which is why my standards are different for different genres. Opinions are by their nature sometimes not supportable at all. That fine line between opinion and fact is on the reader. It is your responsibility to determine if you believe something or not.
Now as one final disclaimer: The reference pointing back to this blog does indeed quote someone who calls themselves "Insider Information." My bad.

Perez Hilton: Dana wants to know what happened to the Kate does Mundane Jobs show? Is that not in the works anymore?
Kate Gosselin: It's constantly being reformulated and changed, and honestly I'm just along for the ride at this point and you know I'm really game for anything. So it still remains to be seen what the focus and whole outcome of that will be.
_______________________
Yeah, I don't think this worked out.
I sit here trying to think of a business Kate could buy (as she suggested) and run with the kids, that would still give her time to spend with the kids.
I can only think of planting crops,canning for their own consumption. Organic and cheap, for 8 growing kids.
Buying a gymboree franchise.
Buying kids clothes franchise.
Ice-cream store.
I looked at the links and read the cited interviews today (thanks, everyone). My goodness, she is absolutely delusional. She actually seems to think she belongs on TV. She can't speak an entire sentence without saying 'honestly' or 'um' or 'you know' or 'to be honest.' She should watch a little TV and see that professionals do not do that. In Kate's world, she suggests something and it happens and maybe that's what she's hoping for. That 'work' will fall in her lap. What she does is not work. How is it work? Being filmed doing ho-hum stuff, getting hair and makeup done for couch interviews, doing a few interviews here and there, but otherwise just being a parent (with help!) and hanging around at home. That's not work, sorry. I think those days are about to come to an end. In the Perez interview, she mentioned wanting to be in their big house that they love in 5 years. I think, honestly (haha), that the writing is starting to appear on the wall. Why would she even mention that, as if it might not be a possibility? Why would she mention the possible demise of the show (framing it in the context that kids are totally on board as if that alone will keep it on the air) if she didn't have an inkling it may be true? Even the shows in the can are really about nothing special. Who cares if she celebrated her birthday? Millions do it every day. Who cares if they eat dinner? People eat dinner every single day and a lot of kids call theirs gross (and I've seen what she has fed them and it was gross). Hey, I just had a thought! Seinfield said his show was a show about nothing and Kate's is too - but she seems to think her family doing average things (or even TLC-sponsored trips) is interesting to watch!
If they can do that, are they also tracking what I am watching too and then being paid to report to the various networks what I am watching?
==============
Have you ever done any research about this, or asked them if they are tracking what you are viewing, and reporting it to a network? Was there any kind of a privacy waiver signed when you got Dish? I don't know anything about Dish, but if I suspected that someone was checking to see what I was watching and then reporting it to a network, I sure would want to know about it!

Kate probably always offers up the kids only when she KNOWS he has plans. If she knows he's available, she says no.
And, Jon has anger management issues?
OMG ...Pot meet kettle
She's most likely the one who starts out being rude and nasty to where ANYBODY would wind up yelling and screaming at her ass. She always acts so eff'ing innocent and NEVER tells people the stuff she does to provoke Jon.
I really applaud Jon for getting out of that marriage before it ended in murder. I swear I would be in jail right now if I were married to her. I honestly don't know how Jon lasted as long as he did with that bitch.
So sorry for the cursing. She brings it out of me.
I am so out of touch when it comes to celebrity interview type shows. How many TV shows did she do today? When she interviewed with Perez Hilton where was the interview held? He's not on TV is he??
Gosselin Gossip said... (Questions below submitted by Perez Hilton's readers)
Perez Hilton: Brittany Miller wants to know and I'm sure I want to know too, you know how do you deal with the con — not con, with the criticism that comes your way because people have these misconceptions about you?
Kate Gosselin: ...When harsh things come my way, when things are written, when people say things, I turn it around and use it as constructive criticism. So I say if that's what you see about me, and you don't like, I'm just going to work harder to do better.
Kate Gosselin: No, if I hear things. I don't read it, I mean stuff comes across my twitter and obviously I block awful stuff. But I don't go out my way, no, to read stuff. But if I hear — you know people will come to me and say, ″Oh, did you hear that people will think that″ I'm using this as an example. ″That you keep the kids from Jon?″ You know that kind of, anything that's negative that comes my way that I hear in anyway, shape or form, no. I mean, I don't actively read stuff because clearly there's way too much written about me in my opinion that is so false. So I mean, like my image is that I'm harsh and mean, and whatever so I just work to be everything that is not that. And it actually has really worked because if people open their mouths and criticize you then, and you hear about then I don't know, it gives you something else to think about and prove them wrong.
---------------------------------------
Does this woman watch her own show?
Exhibit A ) She's as snotty and hateful as ever to Brad the cable guy at the Skyjump.
Exhibit B ) She's snooty and rude to the bouncer at the nightclub in New york.
Exhibit C ) She throws Jon under the bus at the mere mention of his name.
Shall I go on ?
Are these example of her "really trying" and "proving people wrong"?
Because if these examples are of her being nice and showing people she's not mean, Good Lord!
That woman is truly batshit crazy delusional.

As far as I know, she interviewed with Today Show and Extra in NYC today. She had a telephone interview with Perez Hilton and People.com which both appeared online today and she said she did a radio interview also, but did not know what cities or stations it could be heard on.
Anonymous said...
Haven't you all noticed that TLC did not fly her to LA to interview with Billy Bush or for Access Hollywood? She sits there in NY, does the radio interviews locally, does the TV shows from NY, no money being spent on her. She stays at the Essex House, not the "old place which was Trump Towers" and she does not get a suite like she use to but 2 separate rooms, one for her and one for Steve. As no Paps chasing her down.
She is really not a smart women. If she was, she would pay to fly herself out to LA and volunteer to do the interviews from there, her own dollar, but she is stupid and following TLC right down the toilet and that is where they are sending her before the big flush!
*****
Why would a "smart woman" spend her own $ to fly to Los Angeles to give the identical interview she can give on TLC's dime from NY? She promoted her show. The location of the interviews is irrelevant.
As for no $ being spent on her, that's simply untrue. It takes time to set up multiple print, radio and TV interviews. The TLC staff responsible for promotion don't work for free.
Why is Kate even talking about Jon during these interveiws???? He's out of the marriage, out of the show, out of the spotlight. There's no reason for him to be a topic of discussion in any interview anymore.
That is, of course, unless there's NOTHING else to talk about ... which clearly there isn't. Kate's a no-talent bore. Her kids are cute enough, but their day-to-day comings-and-goings (as well as their entitled vacations and gimme-gimme's) are about as entertaining as watching paint dry. That show flat-lined months ago ... and the best they can do to try to drum up interest is to drag Jon through the mud. Pathetic.
My gut feeling is that she has been told the show is ending.
I think the whole twitter thing is her refusal to accept that, and her trying to drum up fans.
This is the first time she's even REMOTELY discussed life after her current kid exploitation show.
As for buying a family business, I could see her trying to run a gymboree franchise.... she'd have to hire help to deal with the public as she would drive people away with her personality.
She could market "HER" business as being 'run by a mom who knows all what kids need'. Gymboree is a going concern I think and she has the money to buy the franchise.
I'd bet that folks would sign up just to see her, at least for a while. Then she could retire to the back room and count the money, leaving her "nice" staff to handle the hoi poloi.
Yep, she could add on an adult section for work outs and teach nutrition classes in the evenings.
But wait, that would mean she'd have to actually talk face to face with her fans...... icky germy fans....
Who would pay purseboy? Or would he be gone?
Would she need purseboy in his 'ahem' role as bodyguard..... ROFLMAO, sorry, snort, gaggle...... I caused myself to choke a little there.......
Yep, I am pretty sure she knows the ride is over, that SHE'S BEEN TOLD there will be no more filming and no more fab free trips......
Toast, thanks for the info. Seems she's slipped a few rungs. I can't remember her ever doing an interview with Perez Hilton before. I did notice that Joy Behar will be talking about the Kardashians' new shows. No mention of Kate. T-O-A-S-T (with organic bread, of course.)
"Even a tour of Lancaster would make a good episode."
Oh, good grief, NO! Keep her away from here!!!!!
+++++++++++++
I'm with you on that one. I've seen more than enough of her. They did film at Dutch Wonderland, Hands-On House, Menchey Music, the Castle. No more! Send her to the Poconos to ride horses -- she likes horses so much!
How would it go down if TLC sends them to the beach but makes them downsize to an apartment or small condo? Would Kate even stand for that?
As for the kids being spoiled, I think it has been shown time and time again that those kids (and all kids) just want love, positive attention, and a chance to use their imaginations.
I don't believe a word out of Kate's mouth when she says the kids are bored and want to travel.

Also Access Hollywood and radio: Mix Philadelphia & "the Electric Barnyard" hahaha (A local Mich. radio station I guess.)
Wait. If she's doing an interview with Perez, isn't that the bottem of the barrel? I mean, he's said some nasty things about her. If she's willing to do an interview with HIM, isn't that a little pathetic?
Pixie it's called selling out. No shame. This is par for the course for Kate. New thread y'all.

She does that crap all the time. As long as it's a celebrity she doesn't care how bad they talk about her, she will still be friendly and buddy buddy.
But family and non-celeb friends? No way. They are banished forever.
Her loyalty lies with Hollywood.

Why are these seven year old children still in highchairs?
I think the deal with satellite and cable is that they would have to know what is streaming, not necessarily who or what percentage of household or ages, etc., or if TV is on and no one is watching (like Nielsen) but just what is streaming. That is why I don't flip channels and carry on while the show is on because I am thinking every click even through is a hit.
Of course she will put the kids to work at something else if nothing but hard labor. They were conceived and born to work.

Some highlights from the Perez Hilton interview covering some topics discussed on this blog:
Perez Hilton: On this new season of the show, can we expect or do you, have you, would you go on any dates? Is that in the cards for you?
Kate Gosselin: Well I hope that it's in the cards for me someday to go on some dates. But I don't know. I mean, I'm not going to rule it out as a possibility. It's my real life, and so if that happens that would be pretty fun probably.
Perez Hilton: So you know after this next season of the show, would you be open to doing maybe a different kind of show like — I'm guessing not because you seem very focused on just being a mom. But would you maybe be open to a dating show? Because I think a lot of people would be interested in seeing you in that role.
Kate Gosselin: I've said it on a million interviews today and I'm going to stop saying no to things because if I say never, it seems to happen. So I'm never going to say never again and so therefore I don't know, you be the judge. I mean, if it was the right thing and it was tasteful and whatever, I'm not going to say, I'm not going to say yes either but at this point. But I mean I am, I do want to meet somebody....
(Questions below submitted by Perez Hilton's readers)
Perez Hilton: Brittany Miller wants to know and I'm sure I want to know too, you know how do you deal with the con — not con, with the criticism that comes your way because people have these misconceptions about you?

And it actually has really worked because if people open their mouths and criticize you then, and you hear about then I don't know, it gives you something else to think about and prove them wrong.
Perez Hilton: That's a good answer. Michael B wants to know if you weren't doing reality TV anymore, what would you be doing?
Kate Gosselin: Like if TV ends for me, what would I be doing?
Perez Hilton: Yes.
Kate Gosselin: Well, first of all I hope it never ends because I enjoy it and I feel like I get to do a job that I love. So if it's not reality TV, if it's TV in some way, shape or form that would be my goal. So my hope is that it doesn't end part A. Part B of that answer is if it would end, I'm assuming that I would go back to being a nurse but I feel like I've run a business and I think it would be really fun to buy and run a business, whatever that may be. I have some thoughts. But –
Perez Hilton: Well you could start that now, and that could be part of your show.
Kate Gosselin: I know. Well the thoughts that I have, my kids aren't old enough yet so it would be like a family business that we could all do together. But I'm thinking about it.

Do you have a link as to where all of this was reported? It sounds like insider info, and if it's not, I'm curious as to where it came from, especially the firing of the "competent, loving nanny."
It all sounds like something she would do, but I'm curious where it was confirmed.
====================
Oh dear. I was going to post with a disclaimer but at the last second deleted it. Here it is:
All the preceding is my opinion only. I came to my opinion by reading blogs and articles. As far as I know nothing is supported on videos anywhere. As far as I remember ALL is supported in print online.
I add this: Nothing is insider information or intended to give that impression nor am I referencing "insider information". I am a random poster posting my thoughts. I read a lot and remember a lot of what I read. But I don't keep copies. When I am doing a research paper I reference myself. When I am posting on a blog--not a scientific blog but an OPINION blog, I don't hold myself to the same standards.
You know, I can sort of see why Leah would want Kate to date--no, here me out!
Let's use little-kid logic: "Daddy is happy and Mommy is mad. Daddy has Ellen and Mommy has nobody. If Mommy has a boyfriend, Mommy will be happy too!"
As we saw from the Sarah Palin episode, Kate punishes everyone around her if she isn't happy, so I can see why Leah might--MIGHT--have said that.

Dee 3 said: Female narcissists always seem to have one obsequious side-kick for some reason. And for now....this is Jamie. She knows how to do everything Kate wants, the way Kate wants it done. Possibly....they need to have a person who tells them how awesome they are constantly?
******************************************************************
This is absolutely true! My mother in law is a narcissist and she has always been this way as well. She runs out of people to put up with her crap and then voila! a "friend I've had forever" appears! Of course, nobody has ever seen or met this person, but she will try and convince you they have been good friends forever. That's exactly what I thought when Jamie showed up on the scene. She's either some distant friend from years ago that was more of an acquaintance back in the day - OR - she's a paid employee. Neither would surprise me. And yes, narcissists have to have someone around at all times to stroke their ego. When they quit doing so, they're gone. On to the next victim.
Also, did I read that she stated in an interview today that Jon "CHOSE to have the kids only 4 days a month?" If she did in fact say this, and it turns out to be a lie (which I'm sure it is because it makes Jon sound like a terrible parent), can't Jon take her back to court on this? She's always dragging him back to court for speaking about their custody situation it seems like this would be a great time to repay the favor. Of course, Jon is being the bigger person as of late and will probably just let it roll rather than feed her narcissistic supply, but it sure would be tempting!
I haven't watched the show in years, but I'll be anxious to read your recap - it's always way better than having to sit and stomach watching the show! Thanks for taking one for the team!!

Can we get a link please? :)
=======
Beth, Someone on twitter did link to the Access Hollywood interview.
Here it is.
http://www.accesshollywood.com/access-hollywood-live-kate-gosselin-on-her-civil-relationship-with-jon-gosselin_video_1332030
It looked to me like Kate got cut off this morning.She says "we have my b-day episode, an amazing Easter episode, a gross dinner..." and seemed to want to continue but got cut off because her time was off. Anyone else got that impression?
-----------
Aeris, you are absolutely right.I remember reading somewhere, a while ago, that a child's love map(i.e. the way he gives and receives love) forms around the age of 6-7. Special circumstances will screw up their entire love map.This is why it's so wrong that Kate keeps them away from their dad.What if she tells them their dad doesn't care about them? That he wants to stop the filming because he doesn't want them to be happy? This could scar the kids for life. Also, alienating the real family and telling them a bunch of strangers who follow them around with mics and cameras represent family? Those kids may grow up to think that's what family is all about.They are clearly too young(the tups at least) to remember what it was like when the real family was around.Poor kids! Having money is good, nobody can deny it, they come in handy. Going on trips, yeah, it's obviously really fun. But these kids are being way overcharged, they're paying for these trips more than other people.Really sad!
Tucker's Mom said...
Was this from an interview today? I missed that. The Access Hollywood interview really, really makes it sound like Jon has and wants minimal visitation with the kids. That's very sad if it's true.
====================
No. That is Kate spin. Same old, same old. Jon wanted the kids when Kate was busy living her never-at-home jet set life and she said No. She left the kids for days with one or two sitters because she hated giving Jon or the kids any thing extra. Jon did not have a 9 to 5 he had to be at then. Kate even fired the competent, loving nanny because she kept in touch with Jon About The Raising Of Jon's Kids. She overrode Jon's custody days to make the kids work. She reluctantly agreed to every other weekend at Jon's because, even though she would have preferred having the kids working she understood Jon would have taken her to court yet again if she didn't give at least that. Now that there is no week end work Kate wants to dump the kids. She is whining. It's all Jon's fault. If he just loved his kids a little more he would quit his day job and stay with them night and day so Kate could just get some rest!
I don't for one second believe Jon doesn't want those kids every minute he can get them. Kate is just being Kate. Totally.
This is very interesting about Ziggy. Remember a few months back a few blogs were posting there was a Sheeple who had turned and was no longer a Kate supporter? Do you think it could be Zig? Some people knew who this person was but they wouldn't reveal his or her name.
It's interesting to think that. I never read her blog so I don't know what she said about this blog or any other. Kind of a mystery?
Does anybody else notice how Kate acts like a total loudmouth obnoxious banshee on her show, but on talk shows she acts all cutesy and sweet and demure and prim and proper?
Who the eff is this woman? She is such an effin' phoney is who she is!
Look at Nene Leakes. She's a loudmouth on her show BUT she is also the same person on a talk show. She doesn't pretend to be two different people based on who is filming her at the time. She is who she is.
But Kate is two COMPLETELY different people depending on who her audience is at the moment.
I hate her. I usually reserve that word for criminals and truly evil people. But I really do hate her.
"She said she's done with little boys."
What about her own 3 sons?
Did Kate mention the sextuplets born last week in Abington, Pennsylvania? The G8 are really old news now! Hey TLC, are you listening? Abington is not too far from Reading.

Her parenting skills are very different than Jon's??? What a bitch!
She's right her skills are horrible.

She was certainly not nice about Jon. She said she's done with little boys.
Well, maybe Jon's done with child exploiters, Kate.

Was this from an interview today? I missed that. The Access Hollywood interview really, really makes it sound like Jon has and wants minimal visitation with the kids. That's very sad if it's true.
And coy Kate acting like she's got to really think haaaaaaaaaaard about what Jon's job is. It's not embarrassing to know what your ex does for a living. It's as though Kate has to really try to be indifferent to Jon and his life now. As if any involvement with him reflects poorly on her. I don't get it.
She married him and chose him to be the father of her children, and now she acts like she barely knows him and is loathe to even acknowledge Jon.
Hey Admin, only comment I will make about the Z twit. From reading her blog over the last few months, she has teetered on the line of Libel for a lot of people and probably got a real case of reality that you just can't keep making stuff up, calling it fact (over and over) and expect the sane thinking public or blog readers to wake up and accept the insanity that was Ziggy. Good ridance, now a couple more and all the trash will be gone (as least in my small world of Gosselin drama).
All the sheeple are saying Kate looked good and she was nice about Jon, BUT that we "haters" will find something wrong with what she said.
Reading between the lines, I'm betting that the sheeple know Kate should have just kept her mouth shut about Jon or at minimum just said "everythings fine" and left it at that.
Once again Kate throws Jon under the bus. She nauseates me.

No Bald Had Island because TLC didn't pay. Simple as that.
~Hippie Chick~
I totally agree with Mel. She voices her own concerns through her kids. No, Mady probably didn't say she was concerned the show would end. Those were Kates words. Once again...uses her kids to state whats on HER mind. It's her way of begging for viewers. Although, she did sound a little worried. Why did that line even come out of her mouth? She knows something we don't know. Kate might be a liar....but no one said she was a GOOD liar!

According to my DishNetwork TV schedule the episode of K+8 where Kate goes to NYC with Jaime and the kids trash the house will be REPEATED on Monday, June 13 at 4:00 pm PST (7pm EST).
---------------------------------------------
Also, my Dish Network guide says that next week, Monday 6/13, there are TWO new episodes, at 10 and 10:30 pm(EST). So, they’re going from hour episodes to half hour episodes. Hmm, it looks like they only have a few episodes in the can, so maybe it will be over soon? If they air one episode tonight and two next week, how can they possibly have enough new episodes to air weekly all summer?
Plus, I noticed that on the Today Show, she only mentioned three upcoming episodes – tonight’s birthday in NYC, "an awesome Easter episode”', and “a gross dinner episode". I noticed she did NOT mention any upcoming travel plans this summer to film episodes and I think she certainly would have gotten that in if there were any plans.
As far as the rest of the Today Show interview. I love the way her very first word was “Um..”. I totally predicted that, lol. Here’s my count for the FOUR MINUTE interview:
"Um" - 16 times"
"I mean" - 6 times
"You know" - 6 times
Ha ha, keep hoping for that future hosting something on tv, Khate! My ten year old has a far better vocabulary.
Finally, she said about the kids:
"They are constantly asking, ‘Where are we going? What are we doing? What's next?"
That is just bizarre, ("bezerk”, lol) and sad. They seem as unsatisfied with their life at home as Khate does. Maybe they’re always asking where they are going next because all they’ve ever known is TLC sponsoring all these first class trips where TLC staffers arrange every single activity, usually with a special tour guide just for them, special access to things, and no lines. Wait until they find out that life does not work that way.
I know we’ve all said it before, but hey, Kate, here’s a novel concept – if you and the kids are not content to play in your own backyard and pool this summer, get off your flat ass and research and book a nice family vacation to some place they would enjoy. Reach for your own very fat wallet to fund it, plan activities for them all by yourself like all other parents do, buy yourself a camera (duh), and go take a PRIVATE summer vacation like most of the rest of the world does. Although, I must say that Khate and her kids are the last people that I know of that actually need a vacation at the moment.

Back In Action Monday!
Billy Bush and Kit Hoover have the day’s biggest news, including all the action from the MTV Movie Awards. Plus, reality star and mother of eight Kate Gosselin is here along with former “Dancing with the Stars” contestant and Disney darling Chelsea Kane. Then, trainer Chris Powell from “Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition” and “Whale Wars” star Captain Paul Watson stop by. Finally, Food Network star Cat Cora is cooking up some tasty summer treats
Interesting she mentioned Mady thinking/feeling show might be ending soon. There are 3 episodes we've heard about, "Easter," gross dinner and TN Food bank. Counting tonight's show that ends up being epi 9,10,11 & 12. Are they filming? Kate didn't mention that, sounded more like she was pitching that she doesn't want the show to end. Is that why the kids are saying they're bored -- no filming? According to Kate's tweets the show will be new episodes all summer. Did she mention they're filming on the Access Hollywood interview? Hmmmmm.
BTW, I didn't see any toe sucking. Kate had her shoe on. He was licking the top of her foot.
OMG!! She is such a terrible interview. Watching her on the Today show was, at the very least ...uncomfortable. It seemed like she couldn't find her words. If Mady said the show could end soon.......then they obviously know something about the state of the show. Kate also knows her time time is passing. Why would Mady even say that? It sounded like she was perparing herself for it. also saw "access". Looked like her heart was not in it. She again looked like she was searching for words. Looks like she has no more "fight" in her.
Don't care to see Kate lie, and um her way through another interview- so I didn't watch ;o)
I'm going for a jog on the treadmill (it's too hot to jog outside).
I wish you all a lovely day!
FREE THE GOSSELIN KIDDIES-
BOYCOTT TLC TONIGHT!!
The next interview said...
Didn't anyone catch her interview on Access Hollywood Live? I know she didn't tweet about it but that is probably because she thinks she was doing the taped Extra interview she mentioned and not the live Access Hollywood she actually did. Anyway she was a bit better at throwing Jon under the bus (He CHOSE JUST FOUR DAYS A MONTH to see his kids, she wishes he would see them more, etc). The relationship is maybe more civil than it has been but . . . At least he DOES HAVE A JOB NOW.
******
I didn't see this (never watch any of that garbage like ET, AH etc) but really, does Jon only have custody 4 days a month? I wonder if that's his choosing or if it's imperative because of the kid's filming schedule.
That's just not enough time with his kids. I don't know what to think of it.
Oh, and Kate dear, if you were in touch with reality, real reality, not your "kids running in and out of frame" reality, you'd know that unemployment is over 9%, and finding a job can take a year or more for non media-whores.
She doesn't know how easy and good she's got it.
The narcissistic boss's assistant I worked with was very obsequious, as I said in the last post....BUT she was very clever and savvy....gave the boss excellent advice, which she came to count on and got along well with the other employees and was able to smooth a whole lot of things over that could have turned out very badly. She had the "in's with the boss and could help other employees who she had set her sites on....something you did NOT want her to do, as she was relentless as she went after you.
BUT....she was clearly devoted to and loyal to the boss. Enough so that the boss trusted her.
Now that I think about it, Meredith asked her what is coming up and she mentioned the few episodes I listed above, but did not promote any kind of "big trip" to look forward to. I wonder if TLC is going to send them anywhere this summer?
If they are going to film the summer away, it seems to me even if she is not allowed to say where they are going, she could say something to the effect of, we are filming some really exciting episodes for the summer, just to keep interest and promote her own show. Instead of saying something like that, she talks about how her and Mady would be so upset if the show ends. Maybe trying to get "fan" support?
Maybe she is not going anywhere but her backyard pool, as I am sure she was planning on a fully funded TLC Summer! Poor kids.
Please don't watch tonight!! :)

I hope that works.
Some interesting info was posted about Rep Murt's efforts in Pa. : "Again, with respect, Representative Murt picked up the ball and kept moving forward to amend the current PA Child Labor Law. The belief that this attempt to amend the law based on one TV production is wrong. This was ongoing since 2008 and included all children in the work force."
This indicates to me that the public abuse of the Gosselin children merely added fuel to his fire.
Oh, wow. Just watched the clip of the Today Show. Kate did not mention it was one of the twins who was pushing her to get married--it was a sextuplet. I watched this morning (ok, not glued to the set because The Today Show is my morning background noise and I pay attention off and on as I'm getting dressed) but I totally remembered it differently. Forgive me for posting erroneous facts!
I still think interest in her is fading. Even among the sheeple. It's just old. Old feuds, old arguments, it's all boring and overplayed. I watched the Today segment online and Kate said Maddy was afraid the show was going away soon. I wasn't sure what to make of that. Maybe she knows the ratings are bad and this will be their last season if they don't go up, by alot. It seemed like her old way of saying, poor pitiful me, please watch our show or they'll take it away.
Anyway, PLEASE don't watch tonight! Cath the reruns if you have to. I am so proud of this blog-I think most of us here don't tune in to this freak show.
Actually maybe she's telling the truth.
Maybe they want Kate to get married because she'll be busy with her new man-squeeze and will let them spend more time with Daddy.
And maybe they want to keep filming because the wrath of Kate when she is not filming is far worse.
Oh dear God! Kate is claiming 7 year old Leah gave her permission to date.According to Kate Leah said: It's getting boring with just you around here". aka screw daddy, I don't mind if you replace him.Does that sound like a 7 year old?
Also, Kate says the kids returned back to school SHORTLY after the last time she was on the today show the last time.Yeah, right.
She suggest the divorce was a positive experience overall because she and the kids got to bond.Seriously? Is that what it takes to get close to your kids, a divorce?
And statement of the year: Mady told her she doesn't want the show to end, she wants to keep filming.
Kate says they have an Easter episode next and one with a disgusting dinner.
4 minutes of my life I will never get back.
Here's the whole disgusting interview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ez4z-hWMnc
