She says Jon is working now, and says that things are more "peaceful" now, not because of anything she changed of course, but because Jon is "happier" with himself.
Funny, Kate claims the kids are "now okay" going to Jon's. Because we remember this downright disturbing video from August 2010 when the kids were returned to Kate screaming and crying for their daddy. It looks like they were not okay at all with leaving Jon, actually, Kate! Maybe she's confused, maybe she means they are now okay going back to her?

How many men would eagerly want to step into that role of raising Kate's kids...while she barks orders at you (and criticizes you when you don't do it exactly how she wants you to)?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Oo, oo, I know the answer to that one! Pick me, pick me (raising hand excitedly).... OK, the answer IS....drum roll.... a pedophile!
What a pedophile dream, to be at home all alone with 8 children while the 'mother' is travelling all the time for her (gag) "career".
Sick isn't it?
I vote for her never getting married again. I cannot believe any normal man would step into that mess. And I'm not referring to the kids, I'm referring to her toxic self.
Although, I wonder if purseboy counts? He's stepped into the mess and actually puts up with her chit. Either he's just as mentally whacked as she is, or he loves being dominated and abused.
Pretty much anyone who takes the time to pay attention to Kate, lover or hater, saw JK8. In what universe are we to believe that Jon suddenly became a subpar father? No way. That man was always adorable with those kids, as in cute and sweet as well as adored by them. The only way that I fault him is that he didn't stick up for himself in the divorce and it has affected his ability to house his kids and spend time with them. But I completely understand and relate. Divorce is terribly depressing, even if you aren't divorcing a monster. I think he walked away from assets he was entitled to in order to have the divorce behind him. Like the coyote chewing off his own leg to get out of the trap. He just wanted the hell out. But as far as being a loving dad, no way do I believe that that has changed. He was always a sweet guy. Kate probably equates being a good dad with paying her tons of child support and letting her film the crap out of the kids
I have always maintained that Jon is the one person in Kate's life she couldn't cut out when she had no use for him anymore, because of the court of law enforcing a father's parental rights.
And two years later, this is driving her absolutely crazy. What Kate wants Kate gets. The one time she doesn't get what she wants, she goes rabbit stew on us.
----------------
And this is why she will never give up custody. If she did she would see it as both a loss of the sick control she needs and a win by Jon, whom she always wants to beat.
Re: Kate finding a man. Yeah, good luck with that, bitch. Even if you weren't an insufferable bitch, you are a spendthrift and incapable of caring for your own children. You are looking for a servant who will pay YOU, take care of your kids and get screamed at for fucking everything up. No thanks, weiner woman. No decent man would touch you and your big bowl of crazy.
I know many of the posters here have expressed the belief that she planned out the entire HOM scenario. I always thought that it was far-fetched. However, now that I see how chillingly relentless, desperate and cold-blooded she is in pursuing material wealth and fame, I do believe that she was capable of, at the very least, manipulating the timing--without Jon's consesus. If true, the emotional maturity Jon has demonstrated is even more remarkable.
He clearly has bonded with every single one of his children. I was glad that a neighbor reported seeing them out and about, carefree and happy--All of which is 100% supported by photos.

I think that Jon has earned a life outside of the spotlight. But if Kate is going to keep bashing him publicly, then, by all means, I will sing his praises. I think that Kate's minions and massive denial makes her immune to criticism. But I think that commending Jon drives her insane. It is cause and effect, Kate!
Thought this would go well with the discussion tonight. This is from a post on a blog that I follow. The woman is discussing who was at her 27th birthday party this past Saturday. Her parents have been divorced for several years and are both remarried. She said:
{I am SOOO thankful that my mom and dad can come together for special things like birthdays and Christmas. Means the World to me.}
If it means that much to an adult, think of how happy kids the age of the Gosselins would be if Mommy and Daddy could set aside their differences, or at least "grin and bear it" once in awhile.
You know all Kate is worried about is having a partner for when the kids rebel and whatever, not to give her an idea but to rid herself of those ever so difficult 8 kids, why not just ship them off to military school? I mean you've got it: kids learn to obey and respect, they are out of your hair leaving Kate free to do whatever the heck she wants.
I think I have a headache from all Kate's whining...how upset her kids are all the time, how busy and stressed she is, on and on.
Okay does Kate not know there are other ways to express emotion besides the (!!!!!!!!!!)?
I imagine that poor little key is just about worn out by now. Hard to believe she passed elementary let alone high school. I can imagine that she wrote all her papers with a trail of (!!!!!!!!) at the end of just about every sentence.
And there she goes again, mentioning bus pick ups with the kids, what she does basically of every minute of every day almost. Wow. And she complains about privacy? How can you when all you've done is open your door to practically everybody on every level of media?
Steve better wear a cup so Kate doesn't get a hold of his man balloons and shove them in. Her purse next to the wet wipes.
I'm guessing the kids are glad to know that Jon is trying to be a good dad and they are okay with visiting him. I'd imagine their teachers, schoolmates and the othepater ends at their school are talking plenty. I know it doesn't qualify technically, but this public hostility towards the dad they love is child abuse IMO
Marie, she must have her kids at home with her so she can be in control 24/7. If she were willing to let them free all 8 could go to boarding school right now. Could have in August.
other parents, not othepater ends
Hey Weiner Woman:
Neener neener boo boo, Jon's a better parent than you!
Let's just say for giggles, she does end up finding some dumb schmuck to marry her. It will never last. If you think Kim Kardashian's second marriage was short-lived, just wait til ole Kate gets remarried. She'll be remarried and divorced again faster than she can say ummmmmm. Then she'll blame it on the kids, that husband #2 just wasn't able to cope with 8 kids ( as she grips her hands behind her back, squeezing a pair of freshly cut off gonads ). Then she'll start the whole next round of talk shows, where she "prodceeds" to bash husband #2, cries, talks about how they miss the crew, they miss the trips, "I'm so lonely ~ yada yada ~ lather, rinse, repeat.
About the 10 year age difference between Jon and Ellen-I was 20, he was 31, I had a child, he had none, we have been married for 31 years now, age is really no big deal.
Pam 13: Funny stuff LOL, LOL, LOL!!
'some dumb schmuck' lol Pam. Problem is there are probably hundreds of dumb schmucks out there willing to marry her. There are crazies in the woods everywhere.
@MiloandJack oh I get it now. Yes, I already do three bus pick ups a night sometimes just with Mady&Cara!!!!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Kate, stop it! You do not do three bus pick ups at night, unless your kids are using public transportation. I won't disclose the schedule here, but while Kate may make three runs to the bus stop, one is in the morning, with one regular bus and one late bus in the evening. That's three in one day - not three at night.
Moreover, if she just wanted to do ONE in the evening, the kids not involved in activities could stay at school in a supervised after-school program and ALL of them could go home at one time on the late bus.
Regardless the bus schedule, color me confused, why would you need to make three separate bus runs for two kids? Wouldn't you, at max, make two bus runs for two kids? The other possibilities are one bus run, or no bus runs.
I'm just harkening back to my logic puzzles days preparing for the LSAT.
Two kids + three bus runs = sack of shit lying mom
Why the bus for two kids? Audi in the shop?
Starting to think Kate is like a fountain. She just spews whatever is in the pipes out the top. Has to rhyme or reason to it.
Didn't people hark all over Jon about Tweeting he was with the kids or dropped the kids off after the fact? How dangerous it was, how wrong he was, I can't remember did Kate go to court on this? And yet, here we are today...Kate is pretty much doing the exact same thing. Although I don't live in PA I doubt it isn't hard to find this bus stop if one really wanted to.
But, go ahead Kate put all your eggs in one basket and see what happens.
And I have always had the feeling that Kate just settled for Jon because nobody else came her way. Whatever happened to her original boyfriend, Adam or whatever his name was? Did he dump her because she was a control-freak? No surprise.
Why the bus for two kids? Audi in the shop?

Nope, lazy Mommy Dearest in the box of wine.

FYI, I have been redesigning the sidebar the past couple weeks. Among other changes you'll notice, I'm building up the "essential" reading tab with some of the most important reads here in case you haven't been here forever and haven't seen them. Check them out!
Of course Kate will find a man and get remarried her husband will need a green card.
Yeah, she might not be sober, especially given the 9pm bedtime. Why so tired so early? She doesn't do anything all day! Maybe she pops an ambien and passes out as another way to avoid the kids.
Kate pursued Jon because he's asian and his dad was very well off.

+++++++++++++++++++
There is a regular bus and a late bus. The younger ones finish earlier and would take the regular bus. The older twins, who may have after school activities, would take the late bus. Two buses, two hours apart, two trips to the bus stop. Or, say Mady comes home on the regular bus with five younger kids; one younger child comes home with Cara on the late bus, depending who has to stay for whatever reason. TWO bus trips. It's not rocket science.
Or if some of them stay and some don't, the ones who don't have to stay for an activity, may go to the after-school program, and then they all take the late bus at the same time. Eight kids. One bus trip.
LancNative, look at Kate's tweet. She is saying she sometimes makes three trips for just Mady and Cara. We're not talking about the little kids. We're talking about the twins.
I don't care what the schedule is and I don't want even vague details about it posted here. My point is, how logically could you ever make three trips to pick up two kids??? At max, you can make two trips to pick up two kids. Kate's exaggeration suddenly doesn't add up with the numbers.
Maybe there's a third bus pick up in the evening just for lying, grifting, drunken martyrs?
Re: Video @
Life after the show
HEY KATE!!! Take your freaking kids on a HAIRPAIN since they want it so bad. Or..if they miss activities so much, oh I dont know..enroll them in gynmastics, sports or do crafts with them.
Why does not having a tv show keep a millionair from doing fun stuff with her kids? Wasn't the show "real life" if so..then why are the kids stuck in the house all day now?
PLEASE GET A NEW SCHITCK. This one has passed it's expiration date. waaaahhhhh. no more freebies...waaaah the kinds are lonely because only the crew paid attention them. waaaaahhhhh Jon is mediocre and I'm a STAR who hasn't been handed my talk show yet. waaaah I'm so strong and I persevere *sniff sniff, sigh, wipe tear*
EM
waaaah I can afford a sports car but not gymnastics.
waaaah kids wanna travel but 8 tickets is too expensive and mommy needs botox instead
waaaah kids want someone to play with them but i'm to busy consulting with steve on whether I should get a newer bigger boob job.
waaaah...kids want to see their Daddy but he is too mediocre to be a good role model
waaah... I cant take the kids to the statue of Liberty because Jon halted filming
waah. I only got to go to Australia twice but now I want to go to England
waaah..where is my high paying job that needs handed to me so I can travel 50% of the time, leave the kids with the nanny 35% of the time and allow deadbeat Jon who is "trying" to do better have them 15%?
waah..no man will date me because I have 8 kids, its not because I'm a greedy entitled narcissist.
STUFF A SOCK IN IT ALREADY WOMAN.

-------
You can't. It sounds like she is saying that Mady and Cara take the late bus, which makes sense, and she is making that trip just to pick up the two of them. The younger children would have come home on the regular bus. The maximum number of trips you can make, regardless of the number of kids, is two because there are just two buses!
She may figure that she makes three total trips a day (one in the morning, one regular after-school trip, and one late bus trip), but not three pick-ups. One of those three trips would be a drop-off in the morning.
The maximum number of trips you can make, regardless of the number of kids, is two because there are just two buses!
&&&&&
The maximum number of trips you can make for two kids is also two.
Tip it!
The maximum number of trips you can make for two kids is also two.
Tip it!
===============
Of course! Let's just say that the six came home on the regular bus, Mady came home on the late bus, and if there were a late-late bus (following sports or another activity) Cara would come home on that bus. It's still only one trip for Mady, one trip for Cara, which equals TWO trips for them, not three. I understand what you are saying, and as usual, she doesn't think before she tweets!
I'd love Kate to explain this:
Why is Jon able to find and hold down a regular 9-5 job and not be bothered by the paps, have time for his kids on his days and do regular things with them, but it is just ever so inconvenient for Kate to do the exact same?
Her little, "we can't go back," speech really is twisted. Nobody held her down and forced her to do a reality TV show, nobody ordered her to quit her nursing job to support her reality career solo. Nobody is forcing her now to sit on her butt all day and wait for "whatever opportunities come her way."
I think Kate's got a few screws lose or at least a few holes in her head.
sshheeppllee
@tlh713 @Kateplusmy8 Don't listen to the haters. Kate has over 70,000 Twitter followers and fans all over the world.
==================
Please tell me this sheeple isn't this stupid! Twitter accounts can be bought. In addition, how many of those 70,000 followers are fans and not haters? Why aren't they all tweeting her with their undying support? All over the world? Delusional, much? If she had that many fans, her show wouldn't have been cancelled! Let's see how many fans support her and sign up for the cruise! It's their big chance!
Marie, her never go back speech is also extremely arrogant. As if I'm so incredibly famous my life will be a pap chase forever and I can never be quiet and anonymous again. Get over yourself, Kate.
Really only a few people are allowed to say they can never go back without sounding like a complete douchebag. One is Angelina Jolie and the other is possibly Oprah.
She's just using the never go back crap as an excuse to continue trying to find fame and sit on her arse. Tho she may be just a big enough narc to actually believe that. To believe she is the exception.
Kate you insufferable hag. Even if I did not dislike you more than Casey Anthony, I would still find your response to his question about Jon such complete bullshit. My God, that takes such nerve to spin such crap. NO ONE believes you. Idiot. The more you blame others and refuse to be humble, the more people will turn against you.
I just find it so strange she feels she is above Jon, they did the same show for years. I don't think reality TV people will ever have that luxury of not being able to go back. I view it as her just wanting everything without the ability to work for it.
If Kate should do on any show it should be that one where stars are put to regular working situations and people say they look like this famous person. (Okay, since I don't even know the name of this show, can you tell I don't watch a lot of this reality crap?) Help me out.
I'd watch that to see how many people would actually ignore her and or not know who she really is. Then she'll see how famous she is.

To all of those who are having font issues, whether temporary or permanent, it's an easy fix and one I always make for me. Hold down the control key and roll the mouse scroll forward and it will enlarge the font. If you go far enough it will bold it, too. It's a real blessing for poor vision or tired eyes.

Lynn, Thanks. It's not so much the size of the type, but the font style that's hard to read, as well as the lack of spacing between the lines. Enlarging the font really doesn't help me with that, but it might work for others who have problems with the size issue.
Holding down the control key and hitting + does the same thing.
Marie, Kate thinks she's better than EVERYONE.
Halle Berry is another mom im following. She has tried everything under the sun to keep Nahla's father out of her life. Yes she has her "stories" but they dont always ring true.
She demanded and won a court order that forces Gabriel to have HAlle's approved nanny with him and Nahla at all times. Now suddeley this nanny is saying gabriel abused her and Halle wants his rights taken away.
If you follow Halle you will notice that in every relationship she has..she goes on and on about how great the guy is. She even once said Gabriel was the perfect dad. But EVERY TIME she ends a relationship she goes on a smear campaign against the "wonderful men"
Halle should have gotten a sperm donor. She does not want Nahla to have anything to do with her father..especially now that she is engaged to Oliver MArtinez. MArk my words...when they spilt up..we will hear how "abusive" he was as well.
I never understand why women who have men in their life who WANT to be a father go out of their way to prevent it. IF the man is a good father - butt out. I would have loved to have had a loving dad for my kids. Instead I got a guy who kidnapped my son only to hurt me when i was 8 months pregnant with my 2nd. He tormented me..saying I would never see him again. Legally I could do nothing at the time since neither of us filed for custody yet and it was possession is the custodial parent until court situation decides (luckily i had a crafty lawyer who got him back in under 2 weeks.."dad" quit his job the first time the gov took $50 from his check for his ONE MONTH child support payment $50 a MONTH that was all he was asked to give! he never worked again..and I never heard from him again. Kids have seem him maybe 5 times in their life and they are 18 and 19
He emerged a year ago..fresh from prison (how'd not having a job work out for u idiot)wanting to "talk to his boys" one refused..they other was so happy to reconnect. Well after 4 phone calls.."dad" has been MIA for several months and poor son is worried sick. Keep in mind my son was 18 when dad pooped in for his 4 calls. What a mind fuck to a boy who never had a dad. It hurts me my kids got the shaft from their dad. Here we have Kate..who has an awesome co-parent..and she is alienating him every chance she can. Its awful. ( i cant speculate on Gabriel yet, but given Halles past I can suspect he's an ok guy)..BUT JON????..I have seen 150 episodes to show me his love is real. I also have his current behavior to go on.
kate is horrid to interfere in that relationship by trying to get AMERICA on her side of the divorce and custody situation. Where is that damn gag order to protect her children in this?
If I were rich..I would pay all Jon's legal fees in a heartbeat so he could at least enforce this gag order with evidence of all her interviews.

@Chablis4u @tlh713 @Kateplusmy8 The show cancelled because the focus of the show should have been on Kate, not the eight. Kate's interesting
----------------
I think that this just about sums up the sheeple's intelligence level - and all of their sediments regarding the importance of Saint Kate and how they feel about the kids.
Let's see - Kate failed on Paula Deen's proposed show; Kate failed in an attempt to have her own Twisted show; and Kate isn't getting any job as a talk show host, or even as a guest host. Sure, the focus should have been on Kate because she's interesting! Yeah, right!
Jon is working now?? UM...he has been working a medicore job for almost 2 years now. He was doing the same thing kate was before that.Selling the kids privacy for a paycheck.That is WHAT kate is STILL doing now. And yet...Jon is still the bad guy??
Dear sheeple,you do realize that Jon wanted the show to end to save his marriage and his kids. KATE was the one who said HELL NO....she let her husband walk away cause $$$$$ ment more to her than marriage.
Admin...you need to keep the video of the kids screaming for thier dad not to leave them...not to take them back to kate...that was what? 2010? Those kids were begging and pleading Jon not to let them go back to kate. And now she wants to say this is a new thing? PLEASE... Jon is bound by contracts...Jon is holding out to save his kids....BUT this video is the one thing that can be shown to help him.
Jon can't speak for himself...but this video can. It says more than Jon ever could.
kate is an evil nasty woman.She wants attention,dosent matter who she hurts...including the kids.
kate believes she has the right to live like a rock star.Better yet she demands it! Who cares if it hurts the kids. Afterall she is the child begging for her mothers love and attention. Um Oppss.
The third bus pick-up is in Kart's devious mind. She's been driving that bus over Jon repeatedly for years.
Will the sheeple call her out on her three pick ups for two kids though? I'm going to go out on the limb here and say, oh, I don't know...not.
Is Kate at that point where she things she can just isn't even consistent in her lies anymore? Much less does she care? Because she knows that nobody will call her out on even simple mundane things?
Unless she somehow mistook typing three or two (nah, bit of stress in stupidity) I think she's just careless. And being sloppy tends to get you noticed, eventually.
Is Kate at that point where she things she can just isn't even consistent in her lies anymore? Much less does she care? Because she knows that nobody will call her out on even simple mundane things?
------------------
Kate has been at that point since the beginning.
Does anyone else notice she doesn't trash Ellen? Could it be that Jon let her know the blowback would be fierce if she did? I remember clearly, before the official separation, Jon feeling kicked to the curb constantly watching the kids while Kate was gone with Steve 3 weeks out of 4. Perhaps he struck the fear of God into her with a threat. If so, good for him.
Will have a lot to say about the so-called Dr. later.
On one of Dr.Drew's shows during the Casey A. trial, someone mentioned Kate.He said' don't get me started on that one,' or words to that effect. He does a lot of work with drug addicts and and alcoholics on his Celebrity Rehab shows.
He is well aware of Kate's pity party and excuses she uses and her lack of insight. I hope he is leading her on to do a confrontation later on in the show; this may just be getting her ready to attack her 'life of lies,' I hope.
I used to like him, but holding her hand on tv made me throw up in my mouth.Fame strikes again.I am going to pray, for the kids' sake, that this is an intervention and something good for them will come out of it.
I wonder who else was on that show with them that day? Hope everyone loved her hooker daytime look- that dress has earned itself a trashy, fiery death, has more than paid for itself, he he.
She was horrified that they burned her DWTS 's shoes on Jimmy Kimmel and they always do it when someone is voted off. Guess she thought her stinky shoes didn't deserve this, she could have sold them on e- bay for big money!LOL
I hate to give away too much of the kids' schedule but there is indeed a 3rd pickup for one of the children in the late evening one night a week - every other week for her (it's not a permanent but more a seasonal pick-up) so Katie Irene is 'mostly' correct on her 3rd pickup comment.
So, Kate gets a little press in AU. What's remarkable about this piece is the total lack of any original comment from her. Still the same old tired spiel. She needs new material.
http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/entertainment/a/-/television/12718757/irwin-family-bond-with-gosselin/
The article says that the AU episodes are just about to premiere. Wonder if the revelation of Real Kate will result in the loss of some of fans.
It will be interesting to see if Steve accompanies Kate on trips after the end of February 2012, as this may be the end of HIS contract with TLC, as well. We'll see if the grifter will pay his expenses or will only go to events if they sponsor agrees to pay for his expenses as well.
Also, TLC may still be paying for the costs of her phone/twittering through end of Feb 2012(severance), which might explain why she is starting to cut back on her twitters - bed time at 9pm...
Regardless, glad kids are not being filmed, although Super Mom is still posting pictures of them on her blogs. And criticizing Jon every chance she gets. I am hoping she will fade even further come March 2012, as she has nothing to offer, never really did, other than being a self-absorbed, narcisstic, opportunist...all at the expense of her kids. And Jon.
Ex-Nurse : as someone who underwent fertility treatments for 3 years, let me tell you that K8's story is full of BS. She had one goal in mind from the beginning- to have HOM's to exploit. And I agree with you about Jon - he made some stupid mistakes but it was always very obvious that he adored his kids and vice versa.
Katie Cry-duh, your comments are making me LOL this morning.
As for Dr. Drew, I didn't watch the clips because I cannot stand to hear K8's voice. I don't really watch his show but now know that he is not worth my time if he is giving air time to K8.
I’m with “She’s a Cow” above – I just don’t feel like watching these videos or hearing her voice, but I will comment on what others have written as they’ve provided a good snapshot of how these interviews went (as usual). First, if Dr. Drew (or anyone else) really wants ratings, let’s see one of them get to the REAL truth. With real tears, really calling Kate up on the carpet, really challenging her lies – that would bring ratings, I’m sure. Not this fluff and manipulation. She’s not fooling anyone anymore – except perhaps these ignorant interviewers. Even they, for the most part, seem to have had enough of her. Except for a few bloggers here and a few regulars on her Twitter, Kate Gosselin doesn’t exist anymore in America. They’ve moved on…big time.
As for her ongoing Jon-bashing. Yawn. We can only comment on what we have seen, on film, on the realest reality show on TV, and in photographs. I have seen literally DOZENS of photos of those children absolutely gleeful in their Dad’s presence. For years now. I have never seen ONE photo of any one of those children gleefully happy in Kate’s presence. Not one. Not even by accident.
Lonely? No one will take her on with her brood of 8 kids? Here’s the ultimate irony. She HAD a man who loved her AND her children, in spite of her being such an unlikeable, miserable, nasty hag – also evidenced by hours of video made public. She basically sold him for a bag of magic beans that turned out to be duds. It’s really that simple. There was an interview rather recently in which she stated “Jon ALWAYS wanted to quit” the show. It is my firm belief that her ambition to be famous was so powerful, she literally traded her life for it and her husband had to be dismissed because of it – he was an impediment to her belief that she had what it took to be a star. She chose the wrong door – the prize has already expired.
After all her bungled interviews, one would think she’d learn NOT to keep playing the same record over and over. She has not learned this. And every time she steps in front of a camera or opens her mouth, her reputation becomes just a little more tarnished by all who watch – including, I presume, those who might even remotely think of hiring her. No one wants an employee who looks like they’re going to be trouble from the get-go. She has done this to herself. She blew it. It’s over.
As for Dr. Drew and anyone else stupid enough to think this sob story can garner ratings at this late date in the drama that is Kate Gosselin's life? You're just as dumb as her...

So Kate's already twittering away this morning:
kateplusmy8
Ah..silence is golden! It was a morning full of 'he did it;no I didnt, she did it..Mom!' &I'm glad the bus took them away..any moms relate?
So this one fan who has 6 kids tweets to her:
@Kateplusmy8 DEFINITELY! As a mother of 6, I would live for that moment when they were all out the door and it was silent-lol!
So Kate replied:
kateplusmy8
except there's 8 lol
Did she think the 6 the tweeter was refering to were the sextuplets? She always makes it or thinks it's all about her.
And why does she have to share everything the kids do? Does she like throwing them under the bus too?
She must keep talking about the kids, because deep down, she knows she is nothing without them. I think she is twittering away this morning in the hopes that someone will tell her how wonderful her Dr. Drew interviews were...Fat Chance.
Same OLD script - different day. No one really cares what she has to say anymore. It's all lies anyway. We just want her to fade away and take care of her kids, who she used to build her "empire." Must suck to be such a fraud and user in life.
She is such a lazy ass that the only reason she wants a husband is to order him around just like she did with Jon. I refuse to even click on Admin's clips because I am so sick of her whining. She's got a beautiful home, helpers, travels, money and she is still bitching. Unless she was a heiress, I can't imagine any man putting up with her. Steve has stuck around for a paycheck and because of her adoration of him, he has been able to keep her somewhat under control. But once the money dries up, he'll be gone and I bet she knows it.
And what's up with the shiney dress in the clips? Is it the same one she wore for ET? She has no class.
BTW, if not for the fact that her twitter is PUBLIC, she would no longer be blogged about. Something to consider fellow bloggers. I think we are being played to keep her relevant. I would miss our lively discussions, but if she were no longer a topic all that would be left is GWOP which doesn't get many hits anymore and Preesi which has limited commenters too. I am 100% sure this blog is read by her everyday so to Kate, "You suck".
Every time I see her new store bought Asian eyes I think of the "cat woman" who kept going back trying to look like a cat until she is now grotesque. I hope Jon is saving these out takes. I used to watch Dr. Drew, but not anymore. He doesn't do his home work. He should at least say, with her sitting there, that Jon is invited to come on the show and give his side any time. Or they should all say, when she gives them the talking points that she wants to get out, "We can do all of this except bash the kids' father." She would still grovel at the chance to be on the show, but would probably trash talk the kids instead. She is a despicable low life with a handful of twitter fans. I hope Dr. Drew's ratings plummet for the 22nd.
I think some of them at least got the message about the Casey A. business. I usually watch NG, JVM, and Dr. Drew on HLN, but the minute they start to form the C word I change the channel. That tells me that many, many others do as well and I have noticed they are not giving CA so much air time anymore.
So Kate's already twittering away this morning:
kateplusmy8
Ah..silence is golden! It was a morning full of 'he did it;no I didnt, she did it..Mom!' &I'm glad the bus took them away..any moms relate?
So this one fan who has 6 kids tweets to her:
@Kateplusmy8 DEFINITELY! As a mother of 6, I would live for that moment when they were all out the door and it was silent-lol!
So Kate replied:
kateplusmy8
except there's 8 lol
Did she think the 6 the tweeter was refering to were the sextuplets? She always makes it or thinks it's all about her.
---------------
Always was, always will be. And therein lies the problem. I couldn't care less about her, but the kids will never come first. I think this is why so many of us have stuck around; she is simply unbelievably selfish.
TLC stinks said..63 BTW, if not for the fact that her twitter is PUBLIC, she would no longer be blogged about. Something to consider fellow bloggers. I think we are being played to keep her relevant.
****
I totally agree with this. If she's still generating 600 (more or less) comments on this blog alone, we are definitely keeping her relevant. At least, anyone searching the web for info about her would eventually land here, and seeing all the multitude of comments, would be likely to think there was something about Kate worth watching and commenting on. Only here, really, is there any interest in her whatsoever. Even if we can't help snarking on her, we can't say we're not contributing to keeping her in the public eye. Certainly is something to think about, in my opinion.
her 'except there's 8 lol' comment was to once again point out how HER life is SO MUCH HARDER than anyone else's because she has..wait for it eight, yeah, count 'em, 8 kids NOT just a measley 6. And when she's doing the total kid count is the ONLY time she seems to remember the twins, most of the time her talk is about the tups (you know, the $$$$$$ $$ makers).
There's no doubt we are all being played...she doesn't care if we hate her or love her. Kate just wants to be talked about and stay "out there". I guess you could say that we are contributing to her visibility. She's counting on us hating her. Thats all she has left. Without us commenting about her stupid twitter feed she would dry up and blow away. I feel guilty every time I post because I know this is one of her only exposures. We're just feeding the monster...
Saw Seal on Ellen
What a great man. I am sure Heidi will also treat him with the same respect.
He seemed genuienly sad about the divorce. Not a single negative bad word, a look or a sigh. Only that they were separating and things happen. Got to be strong for the kids. Wasn't looking for sympathy at all. It was honeslty beautiful, if a divorce could ever be described as that. He made it clear that they were still in love and respect of one another but that things have grown away from one another...no hard feelings, kind of thing. He still wears ring, noted that she does too..Ellen asked why? Answered something to the effect that it was a peaceful thing, and you get used to wearing it for 7 or 8 years. Eventually it will come off. But now it was a comfort.
Just the way he did it - in contrast to Kate's "I WEAR IT FOR THE KIDS EVERYTHING I DO IS FOR THEM SOB SLOBBER SOB" Not even on the same planet as her.
I watched it, sad that it was so tragic, but hopeful that it would be a good friendship and a strong mom-dad relationship for the kids, if separate.
Kate, in all her tackiness in her flamin' ho dayglow ,silverish attire probably thinks she's gonna be a Life Changer. What else could her tall, dreamy ,silver fox man want her on his show for? Dr. Drew, mr. psycho-man needs her help.
There's nothing wrong with her, so it must be her big chance on daytime tv to make her comeback on this big show and sees the $ signs just flashin' all over.She's gonna be a 'stah' again!
She was so over-acting every sentence, ha ha, what a dope she is. Her crocodile tears don't even mess up her make-up. I wonder how hard she had to poke herself in the eye to produce those 3 tears from one eye?
Just think, if Kate hadn't alienated family and friends or been such a haughty b*tch then someone might volunteer to pick up the late bus kids once in a while for her. (or perhaps if another mom from the school lived in Kate's area)
I am glad it inconveniences her and I am glad the twins get to do something besides sit home.
I don’t really care for Polly Kahl, but she wrote a pretty good synopsis of how Kate threw Jon under the bus on Dr. Drew.
http://technorati.com/entertainment/celebrity/article/kate-gosselin-breaks-new-record-throwing/
If you remember when she was on Live with Regis & Kelly back in Sep. 2010(with Anderson Cooper)-it was basically the same as she said then. She hasn’t changed her shtick in over a year and and half.
I read Polly's book. I thought it wasn't bad...
BTW new coupons by Kate at CC- nothing worthwhile for me...
I know how Kate comes up with the 3rd run to the bus stop.She makes the twin she picked up earlier drive back with her to pick up the twin on the later bus.In her warped brain, that is technically driving a kid to the bus stop 3 times.
No one specified if it was going to or back from the bus stop and if there was a twin in the bbb.bus or not.
I noticed that when Kate talked about Jon, her eyes turned cold and angry. She isn't over the fact that she lost control of Jon for the most part. She can no longer tell him what to do and no longer has him to wait on her and the kids. That is something this woman is never going to get over.
Re: the what Kate tweeted back ("except there's 8) to the woman with 6 kids....how I read that was that Kate was making sure everyone knew that SHE has 8 whereas this woman only has 6....so her situation is much more extreme and could not really be compared to ONLY 6.
---
hey jude~
Oh, I feel pretty sure that Dr. Drew has the same opinion of Kate that we do. He may not know all the details and history of the G. situation but just meeting her most likely told him all he needed to know. She seems totally unable to hide her narcissism....and he seems pretty intuitive. Hey, better people than him have been willing to look the fool if the price is right....sadly.
-------
I think that Kate will still be blaming Jon 20 years from now. That's classic narcissistic behavior.
Someone here made an interesting point....why does Kate leave Ellen alone? That's a different dynamic...when you have the guy with 2 women who are fighting with and blaming each other (instead of him). These particular women have abandonment issues, severe jealousy issues, etc. That's not Kate. And in fact, Halle Berry is a completely different dynamic (a 3rd one...but a version of the second)...and that's not Kate either. And to make it even more confusing, these can all overlap (just like the different personality disorders can).
With Kate...the main reason for the insinuated Jon barbs is all about blaming Jon for everything that went wrong in the past and is still wrong....and NOT her. She wants to make sure that everyone knows that this was ALL his fault....and that she is STILL suffering from the fallout of what happened....that was HIS fault. It's classic "re-writing history". It's all about playing the "injured party".....but not really about the kind of deep wounding pain felt by the ones with the other 2 dynamics happening.
First, Kate had on the same silver cocktail dress for both interviews, because they were on the same day. Totally inappropriate for day wear, but that's already been discussed.
Secondly, I do not believe for one minute Kate was on Dr. Drew to promote finding a man. She's never been on any dates, despite claiming she has. She HAS STEVE--it's ALWAYS been Steve--and it was Steve who caused the divorce. Her crocodile-tear, poor-me, I don't have a man appearance on Dr. Drew was to evoke sympathy, so some schmuck in the entertainment business would see it, feel sorry for her, and offer her a job.
She is transparent, as always.
No one cares about Kate's 'love life' but wasn't there a suggestion that she & Janie were a couple of sorts- long distance?
Sorry, I meant Jamie ! On that topic, it's strange Jamie usually left her twins or all her kids to travel with Kate..I guess Jodi and Beth did the same, although occasionally Talia or Ashlyn was there or all the kids if filmed at their homes or Disney, IIRC?
A normal person would be hurt by all the negative comments, but because she is a narcissist, she thrives on the fact that she is talked about so therefore, she must be relevant and a "personality". It's a catch-22 for us because you don't want to ignore what she puts her kids through, but really, it's Jon's responsibility to make sure the kids don't get messed up too much. What this all boils down to is TV reality shows lying to the viewers and creating "momsters" like Kate. As much as I feel some release in snarking about her, I'm kind of stepping back because it hasn't changed her, the kids are not being filmed, and Jon seems to be living a normal life.
Dr. Drew's show consists of 2 thirty minutes segments aired back to back. The clips are a very small part of the interview if Kate's appearance is a full thirty minutes(minus commercials).
I just wonder what else she had to say and what else he asked her. Guess we'll have to wait until Feb. 22 to find out. By the way, I do find it funny that it's airing 2 months after it was taped, and that Kate had to find out when it's on from a fan.
I do feel bad for our fans, the people who have watched my kids grow up, and now we're missing from their lives.
%%% %%\
Therein lies the dysfunction. Her kids are not actors. Her kids are real people with real lives. She does NOT owe the fans anything of them. The fans are not entitled to anything from them. And, it's creepy to continue to demand updates from them and pictures like fans are the favorite aunt from Florida or something. Kate, wake up.
Kate indeed never trashes Ellen, ever. Her sheeple should take a page. It's the one thing Kate has done right in this. The one thing.
However, I don't think her motives are because she is a mature woman who doesn't need to bash her ex's girlfriend. I think it's sort of like, Ellen is so beneath me I'm not going to even acknowledge her existence. Regardless her motives, it's very good for the kids she is nice about her. Assuming that what she does in public mirrors what she does at home--which for her, it usually does.
Sleepless in Seattle Said...
They are living vicariously through her...her life is what they can only dream about, and therefore, to admit that they see whining and selfishn would only be to acknowledge that they have flaws and are weak like Kate. It will never happen.
**************
You are SOOO correct there, Sleepless! They are so caught up in their "support" of Kate because they think that if she is "winning", then that means they are "winning". She is not doing the same interviews as Octomom. They must be so proud.
*************
I was just thinking about my biggest "what the hell!!" moment with her. Anyone remember when they went out for Mother's Day brunch (in the episode where they announced the split) and she did that creepy blow-a-fake-kiss-and-hug thing to each of the kids? What the heck was that? That was not only weird, it just made my skin crawl. If I ever did that to my kids, especially in public, they would be so embarrassed! Why not just get off her a** and give them a real kiss and hug? Just...ick.
Layla 84: I remember that- it was weird all right!That whole staged brunch was uncomfortable. I also recall Aaden looking surprised once when Kate did hug him!
My biggest WTH moment was probably the ice cream 'run' in NYC or the time she wanted Jon to get the kids to bed at 6 PM after 'playing dress-up' w/ Kate planted on a couch with Hannah...like she just couldn't stand them around despite the 4 hr naps..or...oh, so many!
"I do feel bad for our fans, the people who have watched my kids grow up, and now we're missing from their lives."

I totally agree....it IS creepy.
It's interesting just to dissect that one line of Kate's. I suspect that she's been advised numerous times that she has to act like she cares about her fans....and on occasion, it seems like she will pull some of this advice from her memory and try to say something that she thinks sounds sympathetic....but she always mangles it because she can't keep it from being about HERSELF.
The fans have "watched my kids grow up"....and now "WE are missing from their lives"....not "they"...but WE. She can't even make it just about the kids through one sentence. She HAS to include herself in there.
NO, Kate....YOU are not missing from our lives. In fact, we can't seem to get rid of YOU...you keep shoving your mug onto any venue that will let you.
Not to mention the fact that you know you don't feel bad for your fans...or for your kids...or for anyone else for that matter....except for yourself.
I do feel bad for our fans = code for...I feel bad I'm not getting that big fat pay check for doing nothing. I don't actually give a shit about our fans..I just need them so I can live the life of riley...stupid suckers that you all are...so do whatever you have to, so I can get back on the air and make a lot of money so you can all see that I'm better than you. Don't you know how special I am... ASSHOLES.....
khater, I saw Seal too. I hate that they're separating and hope they work it out, as she always lit up when she talked about him. Anyway, one thing that struck me about what he said was this. He said they ask the media to respect their privacy, and especially the privacy of the kids, because they need to protect their little hearts. That really touched me. He also went on and on about how Heidi gave him these GIFTS of four beautiful children and they will always be bound by that. I hope that's the only interview he does, because he's being criticized for talking about this on the even of his new CD coming out, as if he's exploiting the situation to get more attention. He handled it wonderfully, IMO.
It's very clear to me now what she was doing on there...begging for another show...she thinks that if she asks then she will recieve. It's not that easy anymore. TLC fell for that once. People are well aware of her motives now..If she doesn't keep her face out there, she is doomed and she knows it. So I would expect to see her in the any and all venues..no matter how low in visibility they are. She's in panic mode...
I have a what the hell moment that I haven't seen mentioned. My details are foggy. It was the trip with one twin girl to a city in California. They are sitting side-by-side in a spa getting a pedicure. Twin (with one?) looks at Kate and asks, "Are you happy mom?" I thought that was a strange questions for a child to ask. There are a myriad of responses available to Kate -- any number of them focusing on the presence of her daughter on a "special" trip. Kate's sarcastic answer was, "Am I in a spa?"
At that insignificant moment, I thought I saw everything dysfunctional in Kate.
I can't imagine Khate's appearance on Dr. Drew being a bad experience because I think "she" would have tweeted something about it. What a sham and a shame! Oh- and I, too, love Seal. What a classy way he handled himself on Ellen and how hard it must have been for him to have to sing "Let's Stay Together". I love the fact that he NEVER once slammed Heidi!
Not to mention, why would a child so incredibly young question whether her mother were happy??? That shouldn't even cross a child's mind their mother isn't happy unless they've seen dramatic displays of unhappiness throughout their life.
I have read somewhere that Halle in spite of her beauty is very emotionally needy and needs constant reassurance that she is indeed the Halle Berry.
Speaking of El., when it all gets too heavy, I go to her benign little blog site to show support and to see what she got in the mail today. She is approaching 200K without ever once mentioning the G-word. I find it refreshing.

Exactly.
Kate feels bad for a bunch of strangers?
How about having some sypathy for her own children, for a change. Why must she sacrifice their privacy to entertain all these people?
Unfortunately, Kate has "raped" their "brand" for way too many years. Viewers have seen and heard enough of her garbage.
Enough.
P.S. I'm getting a very clear picture of how Katie Irene was able to abuse & grift assistance in the beginning years by watching her boo-hooing tours.
She gets her way by turning on the water works... well, at least she USED to get her way.
Hint... If these posts are killing your eyes (especially w/ a sinus infection here) select all, place in a word doc and it comes in a different font or change the font, much better. Just close when done reading
How about having some sypathy for her own children, for a change. Why must she sacrifice their privacy to entertain all these people?
&&&
She has never once, not once, expressed a desire to keep certain things private about them. I don't even think she ever uttered the words, I'm sorry that's private. Or, that's between myself and the kids. She's talked about everything about them, from school to the divorce and beyond. Does she even understand that kids need privacy, or is that just something she the adult needs?
Hey, 'we' didn't get a Menu Monday special this week, oh no! Or did that tweeted chicken recipe count? I bet one will appear very soon on her blog....
SYMPATHY FOR HER KIDS???? Her mind doesn't even work like that. They are HER kids and she will use them any way she sees fit to make money. This is all about money and her lifestyle that she wants to keep and preserve. Feelings don't come into play here. She feels she's r unning a business. Those kids are pawns to her...nothing more..lets not be blind to this..she is very willing to put them back on T.V again...in fact she's counting on it..
That milo person creeps me the hell out. He/she reminds me so much of my former stalker on e-mail and facebook. But he's 87. He'd constantly try to get my attention, commented on every single thing I did on facebook (including on others' profiles that were not private), etc. I finally blocked him from my life and after a couple attempts at e-mail contact, he apparently gave. Thank GOD. A lot of the things he'd say (and most were way creepier) were very similar to what milo says to Kate. It's gross.
Secondly, I do not believe for one minute Kate was on Dr. Drew to promote finding a man. She's never been on any dates, despite claiming she has.
----
Judy - how do you know that she hasn't been on any dates? Not everything about her life has been filmed (although she probably wishes it would be). She's traveled, she's gone to New York and CA...is it possible that in three years she has been out with a guy? I remember awhile back that there was a coach she was interested in, and it was reported somewhere that she did have a few dates with him. How do you know for certain that she wasn't? It wasn't only Kate claiming that she was with him, there were witnesses who saw them together.
There hasn't been anything in the K8's Kids section of her site since October- the blog is 'all things Gosselin' isn't it? Never mind, I'd rather she leave them out, just strange...there is also the empty Lovable Products(what is that?) with her clothes rack and a few wrinkled towels pictured to hold its spot...odd.
Ok, enough for me for now!
I think the majority of posters here are concerned for Kate's children, first and foremost. For me, the second motivation for following is my fascination with her personality type. She is driven to find fame, attention, and the limelight and will sacrifice every relationship she ever pretended to have in pursuit of the spotlight
she found on her show.
In her desperate, unrelenting pursuit to stretch her 15 minutes she is missing a chance to know her children. Sadly, this is not on whatever radar screen she has, and to her, these kids are 8 entities who's shelf-life is drying up with each passing day. Or, are the kids even part of this equation anymore?

Absolutely. The sarcasm just underscores that mama isn't EVER happy. No child asks that question unless mama is a constant source of stress, and the child feels responsible.
Poor kid, sitting at a spa doing what KATE wants to do, on a "special" trip, knowing full well that the fact that the child is at the spa is only INTERFERING with her mother's "happiness". And there's Mommie Dearest, sarcastically confirming not only that the child is completely irrelevant, but so is that child's concern for her mother.
Poor kid, who will never hear Kate say "I'm happy because I'm with you!".
Children blame themselves when their parents' lives are a mess. Kate's dysfunction takes that to a whole new level since she continually complains, publicly, that the 8-count'em-8 children are an endless burden that prevent her from having a fulfilling life.
She's disgusting, and she should never have had any children, much less the 8-count'em-8 she deliberately created to feed her enormous, hollow, ego.

_______________________________
You're right, I had forgotten about that...it was a long time ago. I say that because there are NO pap pics or witnesses of any other dates and saying she's been on a few here and there is just a cover-up to throw people off Steve. I also recall reading that the guy didn't like her and that all she talked about was herself.
I feel such pain for kids today. I came across a Facebook comment from a friend, she's got three daughters who are all young. Her youngest I think is about 8 months or so. Her comment struck me so suddenly and reminded me of Kate that I think I felt my heart sink.
Tho those of you who are parents, moms, dads, and grandmothers here, I hope that none of you ever wish that the children in your lives would ever love you, "just a little less."
It reminded me so much of Kate's claim how she can't breath, how she wishes the kids would not bother her as much. She cuts their different length to tell them apart, screeches at her kids. People like that I do not feel deserve to have kids.
I sit here now hoping if I ever have the chance to have kids I would feel blessed instead of cursed with a child who would love me. Coming from my background though I don't think I would ever be able to let the child love me without feeling such guilt.
But I can't imagine people actually truly say and mean such things. Kate has 8 beautiful, healthy children that I wish she would SEE that instead of just "seeing" it.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
If you find her personality type interesting, and why she has a sheeple following, a good read is "The Gloried Self: The Aggrandizement and the Constriction of Self" by sociologists Peter and Patricia Adler: "The development of the glorified self is the outgrowth of individuals becoming imbued with celebrities. It does not matter in our society whether that celebrity is positive or negative; in our society we accord status and recognition for both fame and notoriety."
The sociologists study members of a basketball team who became famous, how their celebrity status changed them, and the sociological theories behind their developing personalities...so much like Kate.
I hope that Jon and/or Ellen follow and read here. (I wish we had a hint from someone that they do.) They, would at least, know they have support and admiration. It might be a bit easier to continue on their silent path if they knew there were real people who understood their situation.
I didn't watch the Dr.Drew interview, and won't, but it makes me wonder: do other (real) celebrities bring bodyguards in to studios to do interviews? Or to the mall place to do an "appearance.? I saw pics online of SJP taking her twins to dance class the other day: walking along the sidewalk in Manhattan - NO bodyguard in sight nor mentioned. Other (gasp!), mediocre people on the sidewalk as well, in mere arm's lengths from the Magical Sarah and her twins. No one seemed to be bothering her ('cept the picture taker of course). So: what gives with Khate? Steve is not a bodyguard, I am now certain of that!
Regarding Kate's silence on Ellen....I think that Ellen is one of those people that Kate doesn't see. I think that her massive denial allows her to continue to see Jon, only as he relates to her (Kate) and her 8 other extensions. She always saw Jon as her surrogate, not as an equal partner. We saw how she punished and rewarded Jon with love, based solely on whether he was carrying out her barking orders or not.
Several times she has designated others as "an exact duplicate of her myself" (or some such nonsense)--as if they, as a person, didn't even matter! Remember how she said that she never spoke to the kids when she was traveling? In her mind, her exact duplicate was home with them--why would she have to?
She has not yet faced the reality that Jon is no longer someone she can control. She is trying to manipulate him by bashing him publicly, and , clearly, he is not rising to the bait.
Kate mentions what having a new man is her life would do for her. What if she does find a man (probably balless) and he has kids. Is Kate going to be a loving, welcome to the family step mother. Hell no, She is not loving and warm to her own children. She would be the evil step mother!!!!
So the kids cry and ask when they are going to travel again? These children have traveled more in their young lives than many people have traveled in a lifetime. Why do they have to travel constantly? Of course it's a good educational experience, but how much is just too much - creating such a sense of entitlement. I want, I want, I want...gimme, gimme, gimme. They'll grow up to be just like Mom, a chip off the old block.
I remember when Kate asked Mady where she wanted to go, and Mady said, "San Diego!" Kate said, "Sold!" Who does this...you just let a kid pick where he/she wants to go, and you're out the door with them?
Have a nice quiet, family vacation at the beach somewhere this summer, no cameras, no glitz and glamor, no fanfare or tweeting about it. Just go and take the kids and make it a tradition. They don't need Europe or Australia to be happy. Or do they? Is it to late to appreciate the small places in their own backyard?
Well, well, well.......I got an e-mail about a Christian cruise that will be entertained by a famous rock Christian band as well as a few lesser known bands and a well known author. Their cheapest cabin on the same ship/same route is only $100 more than the price for those not going on the Christian cruise. How much extra is it to rub elbows with narcissistic Kate???
Looks like trying to grift from Jason Hueman again. He's not even answering her...She just sent a tweet to him that said "ummm"...Since when is she so shy about grifting. She definitely wants something...Isn't this the second time she tried to contact him on twitter...she really thinks her gravy train will never end...maybe he's catching on..
Sherry Baby - 111, you filled in some of my missing details in post 90. Mady would have been the twin and SanDiego would have been the destination. I think that the timing would have been when the divorce was in the works but not yet public knowledge.
Dr. Drew's narcissism test. He is "supposed" to be a subject matter expert on narcissim. If he is such an expert, why didn't he call Kate out?

This is the exact test used by Dr. Drew to gauge the narcissism level of hundreds of celebrities.
Answer the 40 questions below in a single sitting, without asking for help or clarification. There's no such thing as a good or bad result on this test. Scoring high on the narcissism inventory, or high on any of the component categories, doesn't mean you have a disorder, or that you're a good or bad person.

Tho those of you who are parents, moms, dads, and grandmothers here, I hope that none of you ever wish that the children in your lives would ever love you, "just a little less."
It reminded me so much of Kate's claim how she can't breath, how she wishes the kids would not bother her as much. She cuts their different length to tell them apart, screeches at her kids. People like that I do not feel deserve to have kids.
I sit here now hoping if I ever have the chance to have kids I would feel blessed instead of cursed with a child who would love me. Coming from my background though I don't think I would ever be able to let the child love me without feeling such guilt.
But I can't imagine people actually truly say and mean such things. Kate has 8 beautiful, healthy children that I wish she would SEE that instead of just "seeing" it.
~~~
Well said, Marie.
My DH and I married later in life and were not able to have kids and were unable to afford fertility treatments. We have made our peace with being childless, but I think my inability to have kids has made this whole Gosselin saga even sadder. That shrew has 8 beautiful kids and she doesn't appreciate how lucky she is! She doesn't get it and never will.
I have to tell y'all that I have never watched the video of Jon dropping the kids off before today. WOW. How horrible. Simply gut-wrenching.
Admin (83) said: “However, I don't think her motives are because she is a mature woman who doesn't need to bash her ex's girlfriend. I think it's sort of like, Ellen is so beneath me I'm not going to even acknowledge her existence.” This is exactly right. Kate said on camera once that she has no intention of meeting Ellen because she didn’t find it necessary. Code for she is insignificant in my life. Kate deserves no praise for this at all.
I can't make myself push the buttons to run the videos above.
That's because I am enjoying seeing Kate's mouth covered with "black tape" in the pictures. That's one way to shut her up.
Looks good to me.

Looks like trying to grift from Jason Hueman again. He's not even answering her...She just sent a tweet to him that said "ummm"...Since when is she so shy about grifting. She definitely wants something...Isn't this the second time she tried to contact him on twitter...she really thinks her gravy train will never end...maybe he's catching on..
------------
It's interesting that she uses Twitter to contact him rather than picking up the phone and calling him. Wonder if it's because, if she called the salon, they'd find a way to brush her off. But surely she must have his personal number?!
Polly Kahl has a very interesting article posted on Technorati entitled "Kate Gosselin Breaks New Record Throwing Jon Under The Bus".
bm
While I can think of about a hundred what the hell moments, it's the "Whoa! did she just do something Mom-like?!?!" moments that stick out to me. For instance, once when tucking the kids into bed she kissed Collin and called him Piggly Wiggly. Or when Mady was surfing and she actually looked proud and cheered her on. Sadly, those moments are few and far between though.
So what do you suppose goes through Skeve's mind when she's sobbing to Dr. Drew about needing a new man in her life?
Skeve is not a bodyguard, he is a handler, because this woman cannot/won't function in the outdoors by herself, except for the very narrow parameters in her home area, like trips to the school bus, the market, Target, etc. When we first met her onscreen, she did not even do the shopping w/out Jon. She would not drive the BBB on a highway, traffic scared her. There are some serious issues there on top of everything else that makes her a crazy biotch.
I agree with Ex-Nurse completely, Kate does not see Ellen as anyone who deserves her attention. She is a non-entity in Kate's world. Now, if Ellen were a television personality, there would be HELL to pay. Everyone would suffer if Kate felt up-staged by her. Nope, Ellen is not in this mix as far as Kate is concerned. The fact that she is Jon's partner and helps him with the kids when he has them means nothing I am sure. No jealousy, no worries, she has her Twitter people!
So Kate, have you EVER tried to be a good mom? We know you lie about it, but have you ever just enjoyed your children and taken care of them without bitching? Are they okay with going to YOUR house? By the looks of that video, I'd say no
@JanetDernbach I'm still exhausted by dinner time but don't feel so stifled.. Those days were SO hard!
====
Exhausted, stifled and hard. Wow all in one twitter. And those are her own kids she's talking about. There aren't words to describe what a hideous person she is.
Kate is actually right on this one. Jon does try to be a good dad - and succeeds. Kate doesn't try because she doesn't give a shit.
dee 3,
I agree, D. Drew does indeed know the level of Kate's narc. Too bad all the people start off on tv with some integrity and the evil $$$ is usually too big of a lure.
I heard Drew talking about his triplets one time and really was impressed by him saying how much he loved them and wanted to protect them from the bad side of tv life, off-screen. He really acted like he meant it and it was really sweet.
He used to say that he could only take so much talk of Casey Anthony and then he got too nauseated. I hope money works that way for him and his family too. There's always hope.
OT- Sorry Admin. Just when you think things are really bad, you read something even worse! I was just told to google myself and read,for my entertainment. There in black and white was my obituary- how wierd that someone else has my name and everyone would read this now- freaky......It is not a common type name.
Jenny Masche, another mom of six, who had a short stint on tv, has found love again and she also went back to work! I believe she is a nurse. Can you believe it? She is going on with her life and working, too. Miraculous, isn't it? Kate, it can be done without a job in entertainment. It's called following a budget.
Jenny Masche has a blogging job at Imperfect Woman, too.
Jenny Masche is a Physician's Assistant which would indeed pay far more that Kate could make with her certificate. However, of course Kate could have allocated money for furthering her degree and placed herself in a career in healthcare that would be life-long.
Masche has said that she would consider another Reality TV show, this time about blending families with her beau and his kids.
Masche would also use her kids in a heartbeat. Same sh*t, different HOM mom.
Color me doubtful about the prospects of those 6 kids making it until the age of consent without having their faces plastered in the media again.
BTW... very interesting reading on IW. Both Jenny and Bryan gave intervies respectively and I thing you all will find what they both have to say very interesting.
Talk about a "he said, she said".
Blech.
Still nothing on Kate at the Grove? When was this interview supposed to be online?
I think that kate was on Dr. Drew to try and promote some sort of dating show for herself hence all the talk about wanting a man (or whatever). Rather than look for honest work she's throwing her lines in the water and hoping for a bite.
About the discussion of whether Milo is a man or woman... Milo (Fired Up 4 Kate) first drew my attention when she called into the "Living the Dream Moms" radio show with Nina Frye. Remember that? Baby Mama was co-hosting. Nina started as a fan, then changed her opinion and drew the fans' ire.
Anyway, because I was trying desperately to avoid work today :), I looked it up.
If you want to hear Milo, here's the link:
http://toginet.com/podcasts/livingthedreammom/?s=livingthedreammom
Scroll down to the 4 November 2010 interview "All About Kate Gosselin Part II". Fired Up comes on at the 26:50 mark and then again, after commercial, from 30:11 to 34:01.
She always has to be one or two "up" on another person, doesn't she? No matter what is said, it's always about her. I've never seen anything like it. She's either the most brazen person I've ever seen, or the most insecure...or both:
bernie22303
@Kateplusmy8 DEFINITELY! As a mother of 6, I would live for that moment when they were all out the door and it was silent-lol!
Kateplusmy8
@bernie22303 except there's 8 lol
Oh, my gosh, Kate....we get it! There are EIGHT kids...eight, always more than anyone else, except one of my Amish neighbors who is perpetually pregnant. They need to find an alternative form of nightly recreation! I think I've lost count - it's either 11 or 13, and she does it all alone, with no nannies, no house cleaners, no lawn service, no craft services, and NO ELECTRICITY! In fact, she asked me if I could use some cleaning help once a week! She's looking for work.
Live with them for two days, and then you'd find out the meaning of exhaustion.
Oh wow. Baby Mama was surely in her glory as the center of attention, eh? Milo sounds like a two-tooth wonder who love to have Kate's life and despite her claims, WOULD defend EVERY SINGLE STUPID DECISION Kate makes. I'm not curious enough to investigate, but how long after this love-fest with these sheeple did Nina turn and see the light?
Holy cow, I'm still listening to that podcast and Baby Mama actually says she bashed Jon about twittering his business all over the place. I believe Kate's over 10,000 tweets in 9 or so months. These people are just not very intelligent.
Didn't we here at one time that babymama was trying out for reality t.v shows? Wonder how kate would feel if babymama got one, and kate didn't? Would love to see that happen!

What a hoot, Virginia Pen! Thanks for sharing. She sounds just as I imagined she would...no further comment necessary! I guess that clears the man/woman debate.
Usually, under normal conditions, when anyone sees a Doctor for treatment/therapy, there is a charge for services rendered. I don't get these two TV Doctors, Dr. Drew and Dr. Phil who actually pay their "guests". Checkbook journalism at its worst.

Someone should send Dr Drew the link to this website...AND the comments if he won't come here.

I didn't like either one of the Masches. They came across as JK copy cats mentioning them frequently during the show.
Jenny Masche is in a relationship with a married man with 5 kids. 2 families were destroyed. She wants another show? Wow.
As far as the Imperfect Women welcoming Jenny into their coven, that's funny because Jenny was the Jon in that relationship. I guess all you need a uterus and cheating is okay.
Sounds to me like KT is really feeling the pressure of having to care for the kids herself, without all the help TLC provided.

Yup. I hate the double standard some people have when it comes to Mommies vs. Daddies.
Guess what? The Mommy is not aways the right one in the relationship. The Mommy is not always the best parent of the two. The Mommy can cheat, too. The Mommy can be responsible for the breakdown of a relationship, too. The Mommy CAN do wrong.
Not THAT Mommy!
She's always right.

Thanks from a loyal reader
Cross eyed, I can't change the font. I never changed the font--blogger did. I have fussed with the option of font changing in comments and the blog font simply doesn't respond.
It has to do with Blogger trying to fix something that ain't broke, and hopefully they will fix it back to normal soon.
A TLC show is coming to our area - March 15 at the American Music Theater:
"You’ve seen him on TV, now come see him in person! Buddy Valastro’s “Bakin’ with the Boss” show is an evening of cakes, stories, and fun. In this live, interactive event, TLC’s Cake Boss will share the stories behind his hit series and his colorful Italian family, answer audience questions, and give demonstrations of the techniques that have made him one of the most successful and renowned cake artists in the nation. In this all-ages, family-friendly show, Buddy will even invite a few audience members on stage to join in the fun. Don’t miss this chance to see The Cake Boss, live!"
Buddy baking on stage -- this is a first here!
So, what is this Honey Stinger stuff Kate is going into spasms over? She says "they are friends of ours". Is she trying to get more free stuff or some kind of sponsorship from them? She probably wants to be their "spokesperson" and then get them to pay for all of her "marathon" travels.
Just looked at the Honey Stinger site. Sure enough, they are accepting applications from customer athletes to rep their brand. They will offer discounted products/merchandise in return, but no cash. Haha. Sorry Kate. They are probably supplying her with free stuff to tweet about it. She is SUCH an athlete after all.

They have a beautiful theater - sound is fantastic. We're there all the time...keep them in business! Some great shows coming up! I think I'll pass on Buddy, though, since Sedaka is there the next night.
I'm telling you -- she is missing her calling! She needs to publicize herself as a gifter, how to get something for nothing, and make her way all around the country, setting up workshops, charging people to attend. It's something she is really, really good at! She would get free products, keep her face in the public eye, get away from her kids, and be paid for doing it!
Oh, good. Now we have the Alice Travel rep on Twitter hawking the cruise. Sales must be slow.

It looks like Cindy Alice Travel is glorifying the cruise...aqua theater, fabulous food, ultra spa, Broadway shows, spouting amenities, but is refusing to answer direction questions about tipping, fuel surcharge.
Based on her refusal to give an answer about what is included, I wouldn't go on that cruise. She sounds desperate.
I thought it sounded desperate too Grif.
Re: Grifter Overboard, 161
miloandjack sent this tweet to the travel agent (Cindy Cardella) trying to sell the K8 cruise. Cardella tweeted Milo and asked if Milo was going.
Milo tweeted back
@CindyCardella Ha...been workin on it! Kate needs 2work on my hubby 2convince him! :) Can't seem 2get her 2talk abt it! LOL
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
LOL is right. Cindy Cardella can't get Kate to promote the cruise, won't answer questions about taxes, tips, surcharges, etc., on twitter, and can't count on Kate to convince her most devoted crazy fan to book the trip.
Welcome to Kate's world, Cindy. It should be one fun ride. Bet it's not going to be on board a ship.
Is it possible, as it appears, this cruise will never make it out to sea? I mean since it's been so poorly promoted and rather poorly organized given taxes and all that I find the situation too shady to go through with even putting a down payment on going.
So, if, and possibly when this thing is canceled, what will Kate do come summer? Will she go to Bald Head Island again? As it is her "summer tradition."
I noticed Kate claims the kids miss the traveling, but Kate still gets to go to LA, CA, NYC and all that a little too often. No wonder the kids miss it could it be they feel shafted? That mom still gets to travel but we don't. Kate can afford to go where she wants but can't afford to take the kids somewhere even local?
Have there ever been pictures of Kate taking the kids with TLC to places? Aside from haircuts or doctor appointments. I mean places like an arcade, the park or whatever, the mall? Not that pictures are necessary but I get the feeling she won't unless someone else fits the bill.
I am going to sound a bit ridiculous but is taking the kids out for say an ice cream, stroll main street and window shop or another fun place really all that expensive for a family of 9? People in UT have plenty of large families or so I have observed and they seem to be able to come and go just fine on their own dime. Or is PA just more expensive than out west?
The image of a sheeple's husband so fed up he is refusing to even discuss the cruise with his wife is a funny mental picture. Does it go something like, Talk to the hand! whenever Kate comes up?
Why on earth would milo take it upon herself to tweet the agent to tell her that Kate refuses to talk to her husband to convince him to go on that sham of a cruise. That woman is a tomato short of a salad.
xx
@suzew718 @kateplusmy8 That's why I say cancel the cc after finaly payment then they can't hit u w/o ther charges.
xx
@jengiggles2 @kateplusmy8 Who says u can't tip. Just don't use same cc as book trip they can't scam
xx
@suzew718 @kateplusmy8 @cindycardella So not allowed to take a cruise if you don't have a CC? What if someone pays cash for ticket?
xx
@jengiggles2 @kateplusmy8 Very easy to stay ontop of credit card charges if you want to spend a cruise calling AMEX checking.
Oh, my. I don't know if these are fans or non-fans, but if this represents some of their reasoning, there are uniformed people going on this cruise are going to be in for a rude awakening.
Yes, you can pay cash for a ticket, but you still need to register a credit card when your cabin is assigned. It doesn't matter what credit card it is, but it must be a valid card. All alcohol, dinner in restaurants not included in the cruise fare, shore excursions, surcharges, gifts on board, spa services, etc., will automatically be billed to that credit card that is on file. You can cancel a credit card after your final cruise fare is paid, but it's not going to do you any good, because you have to register a card before you sail.
You settle your account before you leave, and if your card is maxed out, you need to get it straightened out and find out what other kind of payment they will accept.
You do not need to spend the cruise calling your credit card company. You keep the receipts, and unless at the time you're too drunk to remember where you've put them, at the end of the cruise, you compare your receipts with what you are being billed. It's not rocket science!
I'm afraid this fuel surcharge is going to make them sit up and take notice.
Sheeple have no idea...
Marie: Kate is just LAZY! Just like she has to have a sitter/nanny for the kids when they come home after school, cause poor lazy Kate CAN'T handle the kids, by herself. These kids are not babies anymore, 7 & 11 are not 4 & 7. Kate thinks that everyone who is a celeb, lives with nannies, house cleaners, pool cleaners etc. Truth of the matter is most don't, if they are on a set for hours, yeah, a house cleaner and sitter/nanny, once they are home and on weekends, they run the show at home. Hired help goes home to their families. Even the wealthy get tired of the hired help and like to do for themselves. Kate must have had one terrible childhood, or was Kate one of those rebel kids, who always thought she was unfairly treated: like: why do they get to do that or this and I can't or how come they get something & I don't. Would explain a lot on why she is the way she is now. And Kate sees her kids as a kind of competition, if you want this, it comes out of your money not mine. Would explain another way on why she does not take the kids to local events, stores etc. Also one more, she can't handle all 8 without help. And I agree with you, on the other families that have a lot of kids, they do it. Around where I live we have fundmentalist and they have very large families 8-12 kids, they are always in the Michaels, and it is just mom and the kids, no nannies, no sitters, or aunts, just mom and about 8-12 kids(ages from baby to about 12), the kids are very well behaved. Kate does not want be around her kids. I knew someone, who's father refused to take her and her sister to any eating place, cause he consider children as uncivilized humans. Plain english: he did not care to teach his kids, or want to be with them. Kate is doing nearly the same.
I'm not sure that anything will make these sheeple take notice. They don't seem to understand the concept behind "fine print".
One born: then as my late mother would say: let them find out the hard way. There is just so much one can do to warn them, if they choose to not listen, there is nothing more any of us can do. But the shit will hit the fan or in the sheeples case the fans will hit the shit.
Okay...so exactly how can a lazy person be exhausted all the time?
I'm as curious as Marie whether this cruise will be cancelled.
Does Kate have to promise a certain number of attendees in order to guarantee the events on RC? I mean what is the point of RC sectioning off entire areas for only a few people?
She must be in full on panic mode with only a few committed. And with May just around the corner, there really isn't much time left anymore for a sheeple to say I'm going and be able to come up with the money.
On the one hand, this cruise did not give her demographic nearly enough time to save up for it. In a way it's insulting to expect people to come up with this kind of money, not to mention completely dense to most people's financial situations right now. On the other hand, she has given so much notice about this cruise that it's plenty of time for most sane people to come to their senses and realize this is not what they should blow their money on.
Anyway, at the end of the day, the money will have to be produced. And a lot can happen between now and May--the car breaks down, Johnny breaks his leg, the plumbing needs repairs, the leak in the roof needs to be fixed. Suddenly the cruise money is wrapped up in daily life and they can't go. Sad really how obtuse and out of touch Kate is.
Kate never did anything or traveled anywhere with the kids that wasn't being paid for by someone else. And when it came to the boys even free things didn't matter.
It's really shameless how she still expects free trips. She is not a make-a-wish child, she is a able bodied working woman who should be expected to support her family herself.
She has a "job." She makes money at CC and will be making money on the cruise. What makes her think she is so special that she can't save a certain percentage of each paycheck and sock it away for a vacation like EVERYONE...ELSE....who ever wanted to take their kids on vacation. And isn't a vacation sweeter anyway when you've worked hard to save for it? If she wants a vacation, she can have it. Put out a jar and START SAVING.
I just don't understand what she thinks sets her apart from every other parent who saved up for a vacation.
She's not actually exhausted, she just says that to gain sympathy for the poor mummy with 8 Did You Hear Me 8 kids. She's been using the exhausted whine since the first time she was ever on tv. Back when people were uninformed enough to feel sympathetic.

How about having some sypathy for her own children, for a change. Why must she sacrifice their privacy to entertain all these people?
&&&
She has never once, not once, expressed a desire to keep certain things private about them. I don't even think she ever uttered the words, I'm sorry that's private. Or, that's between myself and the kids. She's talked about everything about them, from school to the divorce and beyond. Does she even understand that kids need privacy, or is that just something she the adult needs?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The only time Kate is concerned with the privacy issue is when she is not paid or compensated from the press, interviews, pictures, or videos.
Milo and Jack or Fired up 4 Kate (whatever moniker she goes by) speaks like a very old, very hick/hillbilly-ish 'God fearin' woman. And very, very uneducated. Sad. No wonder her 'husband' tells her what to do when. She hasn't the brain capacity to fend for herself. Maybe she's an abused woman, as well?
Was just telling the family tonight that it is either a very good thing or a very bad thing that I don't deal directly with the public for a living. Had the guy next door tell me about his experience on jury duty, and I'd have been a yelling cop, pounding on the desk prosecutor, and belligerent juror. Now on to cruise questions and credit cards and tipping. Yes, nitwits, do you never book a plane, a hotel room, a reservation for a show? Wouldn't you rather tip at the end of the cruise so all the money goes into a pool and all staff get a fair share? Or are you too damned dumb to go on a cruise? Or anywhere for that matter. I'd have the straight story in a minimum of time, and book without BS, or bite their hindends for them.
Wouldn't you rather tip at the end of the cruise so all the money goes into a pool and all staff get a fair share?
++++++++++++
Unless it's changed, the money doesn't go into a pool. There are envelopes left in your cabin, marked "steward," "housekeeper," "Maitre d'," etc. They give you guidelines how much you should tip per day per person, and on the last day of your cruise, you hand the envelope to each person individually. Some cruise lines have gone to the automatic gratuity, which is charged to your cabin at the end of the cruise. It's supposed to make it easier for the passenger, when actually it guarantees that each attendant makes sure to get the recommended amount. Royal Caribbean still uses the optional tip, and according to the Alice page, those tips are included. However, the tips for the salon, spa, waiters who bring your drinks at the pool, shore excursion guides, any services on the private island, among others, are not included.
I believe that the sheeple going think that it's an all-inclusive cruise and when it says "tips included," it means all tips. It's misleading, and they aren't smart enough to ask.

____________________
Only if the "fans" are paying all her expenses!
Regarding those tips...
I don't know how it's done now, but a few years ago, the cruise company suggested how much of a tip to give to each person. For example, you had the same waiter every night, and he got more than the person who bussed your table. The head housekeeper (in charge of overseeing the cabins) got less than the person who actually made up your stateroom every day. Therefore, the tips did not go into a pool, or there would have been an uprising if all the tips were divided evenly among all of them.
Kates monday menue is not original, people have been doing that for ages. Nothing special about that. I thought kate was 100% organic? What 6 canned foods?, only one organic? The sausage not organic? I guess 100% organic for Kate, the kids get Giant food/ mediocre stuff like the rest of us & Jon. I'm beginning to see a pattern forming: Kate thinks Jon is mediocre, and since her kids are half Jons, I would not be surprised if Kate reminds them every minute that when they don't do as she says, she tells them they are their father mediocre children, and if they want to be moms they have to do as she says. Since kate already showed us that she does use that kind is thinking, when she told the kids are you Palin or Gosselin. So the kids get regular store bought food, with maybe 1 or 2 things organic and Kate gets the 100% deal.
It seems that Kate is going to be in Missouri in spring? Hinted at a signing or what? Marathon? Brandson is in Missouri, are they having a CC thing there or something else?
The cruise thing...
Maybe she knows that it's not going to happen, and is going to St. Louis instead - just to appease her fans. She doesn't need a sheeple uprising!

Apparently so. As well going on an expensive cruise to line Kate's pockets. As well as the twitter fans who to try to keep in contact with someone/anyone "famous," and I do use that term loosely.
Honestly, I doubt Kate will get the 200 fans needed for this cruise but even so, may cancel if HER cabin, flight, "Body Guard" are not paid for, as she did with the recent Bermuda excursion. I would not put it past her if she has to take a dime out of her pocket.
"Kateplusmy8 Kate Gosselin

She makes a point of saying she "invented" this recipe. By which I guess we can infer that she didn't "invent" the others?
Busted!
Recycled chili-mac is her own unique idea?? Baked beans in chili?? I would like the sodium count per serving on that.

I really hope she doesn't say stuff like that but I suspect she does. I grew up with a dad who if we did something dumb would claim it was because we had our mom's family's blood in us and basically they were stupid so we got our stupidity from that side of family and NOT his. I grew up told I would never amount to anything. It is hard to build self esteem after years of that.
I bit the bullet and looked at menu Monday. Isn't that bean overkill? She wouldn't need to take a plane; she'd be self-propelled.
She has never once, not once, expressed a desire to keep certain things private about them. I don't even think she ever uttered the words, I'm sorry that's private

Yes, Kate did. When the 2 tups were expelled from/asked to leave their school for behavioral problems, Kate initially used the "privacy" excuse to not address it. Fine with me, in fact, please, do not comment ever.
This whole "privacy" smokescreen lifted about 2 weeks later when Kate's PR team came up with a strategy to deal with it in the media; call it a medical condition and deny, deny, deny that the kids were expelled.
At its most basic, the kids' problems once again became fodder for yet another media blitz for Kate. Also remember at the time, Kate was trying desperately to keep Kate plus 8 on the air and eschew any ideas that filming might be more to the kids' detriment at a very, very difficult time in their young, innocent lives.
Did she only make one pan of that glop to feed 8? We make casseroles that size and feed 4 people with only a little left over, if any. Maybe her "helpings" are a small spoonful each so she can claim one ate fourths. Her own 'large portion' is probably half cup.
Lots of beans for sure. Not rocket science to grab meat and cans and pasta and throw them together. It is done every day by 'mediocre' cooks.
Love the name Break Wind.

NEW MENU MONDAY (ON THURS) 2b posted 2day!Kate invented recipe that got RAVE reviews X8!This can't wait til Mon! GO TO:"
She makes a point of saying she "invented" this recipe. By which I guess we can infer that she didn't "invent" the others?
---------------------------------
Yep. She is busted on so many different levels, it is not even funny, but rather pathetic. I remember reading that Kate was involved with the "Drama Department" in high school, and I think she took these traits, to fashion her real life.
Show FINALLY cancelled in Sept '11, she is now desperate and grabbing for any straw she can - to get her own show, stay relevant (Twitter -pathetic); CC- not an original idea yet; posting pictures of her kids left and right on her blog; the Cruise, with a nice payment to her from each fan; the fake race in LV; and her trying to float a fake "Dating Show,"on Dr. Drew. Never mind how inappropriate her daytime choice of dress was.
I think Kate is circling the drain, and she knows it, but will continue her desperate, albeit annoying attempts, to be relevant in any way possible. Kind of pathetic if you think that she could be putting this energy in to her kids or another career supporting them financially.
It's mind-boggling at times what Kate thinks is so great about herself. Her recipe is fine, really. It's a dump recipe. Dump and bake until bubbly. Everyone does this once in a while and it's an easy way to feed a crowd. But, to call it original is beyond ridiculous.
Baked beans and chili.... not for me.
Tucker's Mom My in laws put Bushs original baked beans in chili often. They like it but I think it is alittle too sweet. Blech.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! We don't want her.
Has this been mentioned yet? Bethenny Frankel is getting her own talk show on Fox called Bethenny.
So, she not only shut down her own Realtiy TV show to "go out on top", but she immediately is going on to what Kate has been pining for.
Bethenny has the "IT" factor, no doubt, and she is witty and original. Talk about a woman who's got professional training and cooking chops. Let alone, a woman who really knows how to build a brand (that's been consistent).
She looks fabulous, too as a woman who has embraced her natural beauty without trying to turn herself into a barbie doll. She is who she is and she's known it all along.
