Mady and Cara to travel with Kate on Cruise

Looks like Kate has resorted to using her own children to try to get people to book a spot on August's celebrity cruise on Royal Caribbean. After weeks of begging people to sign up, even adding "morning runs" with Kate to the itinerary, she's finally tweeted this:

 Kate Gosselin 

Yep. It's true! Mady and Cara are sailing too! Can't wait to have a big girls week with our fans! Join US! 



Will the children have obligations to the fans too, or do they get to just be kids?

Commodity: one that is subject to ready exchange or exploitation within a market

PatK said...

She must be bringing a helper along. She certainly isn't going to be responsible for the twins 24/7 on this cruise, is she?

Kat said...

This proves, once again that she can't even bring in a small crowd without her kids....I wonder if she NOW realizes how talentless she is? She's "using" them again....so sickening..no are really no words...

Get lucky in Kentucky said...

Hell yes there will be a nanny there. No way khate will be stuck watching them when she has sooooooo many fans that need her attention.

Mel said...

Beyond disgusting.

Kat said...

I wonder if this will help bookings?

Get lucky in Kentucky said...

Kat... I doubt it. It may bring in a few but not many

She is a Cow said...

What will Stevie Boy do? Kate is probably pissed, now she can't shack up with Steve for a week. Not only that but she will have to pretend she likes spending time with her kids and her fans. I will make a prediction, since Kate has all of these clauses listed with Alice Travel, which essentially allow her to drop out of these events. She will go to the first couple of events and then will complain of some sort of creepy fan, or security risk and weasel her way out of her other appearances. You know, for the safely of her and the twins. She won't be at risk, of course, but she will say she is. She will keep the money and the fans have no recourse. WIN WIN for Kate

Amy2 said...

Doesn't she have to get Jon's approval for the kids to go out of state? There was a rumor that Jon and Kate were spotted together having lunch. No further proof (pics) have emerged to verify this rumor. But if its true that they did have lunch together, perhaps they were talking about Mady & Cara (working) going on this cruise.

P.S. Someone else is using the name Amy Two, that is not me. I post occasionaly, read the blog regulary (daily). And for full disclosure I have no inside information into the Gosselin situation.

PatK said...

Kate must have some other kind of excursion planned with just the sextuplets this summer to justify taking the twins on this cruise. They're almost eight years old and certainly aware of what's going on around them now, so there has to be a trade-off.

Get Lucky in Kentucky said...

Cow...im thinking the exact same thing

Get lucky in Kentucky said...

Amy2 ... Just my opinion... But I think that if any of the kids go on this cruise it is because Jon is getting paid too

Get lucky in Kentucky said...

Or maybe Jon agreed to this so he could have the last laugh knowing her and purse boy won't be able to shack up in the room?

Is anyone else wondering what has become of Kate's Extra interview? Not only didn't it make it to the prime-time show, it hasn't even been posted on the Extra web site. I mean, how bad could it have been?

TLC stinks said...

More grifting...see her tweet reponse from
Bali Travel Guide..."Yes, yes and yes...."

Kat said...

Jon's getting paid too???? How much money are they expecting to make on this cruise? Will there even be enough to split? I doubt it...

Candian East Coaster said...

Dragging her twins on the cruise just like she drags them everywhere else she needs them. Look at the picture on this thread. She doesn't hold their hands; she drags them literally.

From another thread:

Pulling The Wool said...
Is y'all a common expression in Canada? There is one Canadian fan who uses it, and the person posing as Cara uses it as well, with the same spelling. Just curious!

Y'all is used frequently in New Brunswick and parts of Nova Scotia. In Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton they tend to use 'youse' as a plural form of you all. In Newfoundland they use 'ye' as their plural of you all. Regional dialects are fun.

TLC stinks said...

Why do you thinks she and purseboy can't shack up? They did in NC, all staying in the same beach house. I am under the impression she will get a huge suite onboard with bedrooms.

tiffches said...

Cara and Mady may have asked to go. Jon would not tell them no just to spite Kate. That is more Kate's style.
I doubt Jon was paid for letting the kids go. That also is more Kate's style. However, I do think Jon is giving Kate enough rope to hang herself.
Steve has already sold his manhood for Kate. I bet Steve's kids are embarrassed to find out their dad is not a man.

TLC stinks said...

That tweet said Jon and Kate were at Tom Cat Cafe. It's in Sinking Spring, PA. What's up? Was all the acrimony for the paps? Ordinarily I like to see exes get along, but this smells to high heaven.

Mel said...

Kinda suspicious about the timing of Jon/Ellen break-up and this thing about the twins coming out....things that make you go hmmmm.....

Mel said...

This is much like the run in Las Vegas. Something's not kosher, but we'll never know what it is.

This is soooo typical Kate; the known information doesn't jive with what she's saying.

Once again, if her lips are moving, she's lying.

How bad? I would hazard a guess it was even worse than her interview for the Running magazine. The woman is very inarticulate. She cannot complete a sentence without using 'umm', 'like', 'ahhh'. I would guess Extra had a whole lot of nothing and that's why it hasn't aired.

Absolutely- She NOW knows she has very little fan draw, without again using her kids. Pathetic that she is still relying on her kids, actually disgusting. Get a job Kate, without your kids!

@BuzzedBunny I know, really, 'commodities'?They r reason I live&breath& meaning of my life! Yes,they belong 2me&blessed2b their mom! Geesh!

Well, she may not think of them as commodities, but she certainly thinks of them as possesions.

Dmasy said...

Hubby and I begin our day with coffee. It is a beverage that we enjoy. But, I would never go on and on and on about how much caffeine fuels my day. She is always exhausted or talking about her reliance on an upper to keep her going. How is THAT healthy?

TLC stinks said...

Boy oh boy. I guess she also grifted to Coffeemate and Starbucks because she is thanking them.

Love the "commodity" tweet to her. Yep, the generic definition for commodity is any marketable item produced to satisfy wants or needs. Sounds correct to me.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Maybe Jon insisted she meet with him like Grown ups if Kate wants something of him. Maybe he felt like it was a step in the right direction of real coparenting.

There is nothing organic about CoffeeMate!

@grisel1018 it's a non motivated day here..Going to make another cup of coffee before hitting my desk filled w paperwork (yuck!!)

Desk full of paperwork my ass. She makes it sound like she's CEO of a big entertainment corporation. The paperwork is probably crumpled up Starbuck napkins laying all over her desk.


And where is the tweet that says she and Jon had lunch together? I missed that one.

Candian East Coaster said...

Auntie Ann that tweet about K/J lunch was a couple of threads back. Apparently somnebody tweeted their relative or friend saw them together.

Rearranging the Deck Chairs on the Titanic said...

Work, girls, work, work, work, work, work, work, work.... your damn stupid, lazy-arsed poor-exuse of a "mother" needs to USE you again. Because without you, she is nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing. Grifitng Coffemat, Starbucks and Keurig is NOT going to pay that big-arsed mortgage or private school bills, so work, girls, work, work, work, work. And right before school begins when the girls should be thinking about other things. The witch is beyond disgusting. Work, girls, work.

Marie said...

A few things after I pick my jaw up off the floor here.

Okay, one, HOW just HOW does Kate have paperwork when she is unemployed? How? Does a blogging job really give you that much paperwork to whine about? I'd like to see her in an office job!

Second, the twins are going? Oh good grief! Why? Why subject two 11 year old girls to the possible horrors of being surrounded by Kate's "fans," she has no idea if this is going to work, why promise the girls' this weekend if nothing is concrete? Just wrong.

Gosselin8ComeFirst said...

Kate on Twitter- still thanking @Keurig and now @coffeemate and @Starbucks too for taking care of a caffeine needing mom of 8's needs! Thanks all! Xoxo 30 minutes ago

-----
She is a disgusting grifter trying to get more freebies from 3 companies in one swoop! Reaks of desperation and greed.

Westcoaster said...

Shameless grifting biotch is thanking not only Keurig but Coffeemate & Starbucks this am, keeping that poor mom of 8 caffeine fueled, so organic, that Coffeemate crap is all chemical. Maybe some of her busy paperwork (WTF) will be to write them a proper thank you. I cannot begin to imagine what paperwork she has, she seems to exist only on Iphone & Twitter.

Re the girls on the cruise - if she doesn't get enough suckers, do she and the kids still go? If not, how does she explain that? And if she doesn't get enough suckers, does this mean the travel agency foolishly wrote a contract to pay for her, the girls, a nanny and Skeve? The grifitng is phenomenal.

AuntieAnn said...

Thanks Canadian. I'll have to go back and find it. So it's just a friend of a friend story? I can't picture Kate being civil to Jon anymore. Well not that she ever was.

Jumping In said...

This Kate cruise package is getting more 'hooks' thrown in to attract more bookings. By adding the twins, this may result in tweens putting pressure on their parents to book. Unlikely, but worth a shot to generate some new bookings. The twins are strictly an add-on, a commodity to sell this package.

From my experience, we likely now have two cabins Alice Travel have 'comped' Kate for this sailing. In order for Alice Travel to cover this expense they need to sell more cabins.The Agency only receives a commission of approximately 15% on every Kate package sold, so they need more sales. Thus, the twins just got thrown in to broaden the appeal!

Royal Caribbean have little or no interest in this Kate thing, this promotion has been put together by Alice Travel, not RC.

Firstly, this Kate package is too expensive for an off-season sailing in the Caribbean. Secondly, Kate is not a draw; she is not an entertainer, nor someone with talent. She is the mother of 8 children who had a reality television show, her appeal is limited to say the least.

For those who have booked, fear not, Kate will be going! These people will have an opportunity to fawn over Kate in small numbers. So, for Kate and her unsuspecting fans, it is a win/win. She will have grifted a cruise for herself and the twins and will only have to pretend to be interested in a few of her followers. All good.

Kat said...

Boy that word "commodity" really struck a nerve with her. She seemed really upset..has she been living on Mars? She knows damn well what people think of her using those kids...don't act so innocent Kate. If she wasn't guilty of it, she wouldn't be so upset...Both of those parents are to blame for this... it's such a travesty...

Her children ARE a commodity!

Kate may not like the accusation, but that is exactly how she treats them.

Face it, Kate.

As for Kate's product(s) placement this morning-
it's a normal function for her.

See Kate.
See Kate grift.
Grift, Kate, grift.

P.S. Doctors call CoffeeMate & fat free CoffeeMate a heart attack in a bottle.

Talk about the blind leading the blind.

That's o.k., Kate will probably grift her own future bypass surgery & knee/hip replacements.

There she is yet again, with the kids and she has on her best Bitch Face! She never smiles her 'silver wrapping paper dress'smile when she is with her little money makers, so very sad. The girls don't look very happy to be with her either.Going to be one sad 'girl's week' for the girls on the ship, they will get dumped with a nanny.

silimom said...

Admin's comments re: Jon insisting Kate discuss things face to face -

ITA. And honestly, that's a step in the right direction. Jon and Kate need to learn to resolve their differences like adults.

Re: The cruise. The twins may be going because they've already sold enough cabins to justify the extra cost. Just playing the devil's advocate.

Kat said...

Paperwork??????????? Probably bills she can't pay...You can't support yourself and 8 kids with a cruise once a year....LOSER....GO TO WORK!!!!!!!!!!!

AuntieAnn said...

Thanks again Canadian. I couldn't find it there's so many diversions on the threads, lol. I don't know if I'd place any bets that it's true though. There are people out there who just tweet things to stir the pot. Jon and Kate both know there's a likelihood of paps taking photos of them if they are together in public. UNLESS that's their plan. I hope not.

Candian East Coaster said...

Auntie Ann, if you haven't found it scroll up this thread. I found it and copied and pasted it.

The @keurig, @coffeemate, and @starbucks references in her tweets are suddenly flying fast and furious. She must have worked a deal with them, though why they would bother paying someone with such a low followers number (for an ex-celeb, that is) is a mystery. Maybe it's just freebies, not cash. She is quite noticeably flogging all three today (sometimes in the same tweet!), so there must now be something in it for her.

Obvious much, Kate?

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

She doesn't have to like it but the twins are a commodity to get people to book. If they're not there would be no reason to tell people they are going much less invite people to "join us" with a link to the cruise website! How is that not using the kids as commodities Kate? How?

Kat said...

Thanks, Canadian. While not concrete "proof" that the Cara imposter is Canadian, it does add evidence to the theory. The Canadian uber fan on Twitter uses it, and "Cara" uses it - spelled the same way. It's not a common expression in PA, and certainly not in Berks County. The reference to the Boxing Sales, cross-country skiing and hockey also makes you go hmmmm....

Anonymous said...

I'm (almost) willing to bet that if the twins don't bring in enough "sign-ups", she'll HAVE to announce that all 8 will be working the ship. It still leaves her enough time before embarking to cancel for whatever excuse she comes up with.

She can't "admit" to that commodity comment. If she did...that would make her a monster..She got angry because people have exposed her for what she really is....

Yes and it's NO coincidence that she actually, finally said it out loud that they're going to be there, after she was told by this Cindy gal to get off her ass and get some bookings. She's as transparent as glass. Typical narcissitic behavior of Kate's to turn this around by telling people that using her kids as a commodity is an insult to her.

Kate Gosselin Goes Fishing

Dallas Lady said...

Yep, Kate and Alice Travel have discovered she has to tack on at least two of the kids to HOPE for more bookings. As someone else said above, I really doubt it will result in as many bookings as they need. If people aren't interested in going on an overly-expensive hurricane season cruise with Kate Gosselin, they PROBABLY aren't interested in it with her kids, either (and how creepy would it be if suddenly a few single men signed up after this announcement? Ug, that gave me chills...).

I'm quite frankly surprised Kate knew what the word commodity meant. She probably had to look it up, it's not like she has a good vocabulary. It struck a nerve because it's true. The twins are being tacked on to entice people into booking cabins.

And one of two things will happen:

1. Kate will now need to also bring a nanny. She sure as hell isn't going to take care of M&C with no help.

2. At the last minute, it will be announced that the girls can't go, only Kate can go. Oh, darn! But everyone who signed up will be stuck and out their money if they don't go.

And I have a question: isn't this cruise awfully close to the start of the new school year?

I doubt VERY seriously Jon is being paid to allow the girls to go. Y'all really think Kate's tight little fists willingly hand over a single penny to him or anyone else? Ha! No way.

As for the supposed lunch, if it did happen: good. It doesn't mean they're getting back together. Normal, civil coparents meet to discuss their kids and issues concerning their kids all the time. In fact, it makes sense that it would be a public place--she sure doesn't allow him on the grounds of that mine all mine house, does she? (Not that she's civil with Jon, but it's not beyond the scope of imagination that she agreed to meet him to discuss some issues.)

Did anyone catch on Twitter that she's still calling herself a TV personality? I nearly choked laughing when I read that. Oh, honey. Even when you WERE a TV personality, that personality was so awful it got you OFF TV.

Now she's reduced to pimping out her two daughters to get people to go on a crappy overpriced hurricane season cruise and sucking up for coffee creamer and coffee.

She can get all the free creamer she wants, as someone else pointed out so well, it's not going to pay her bills.

A Pink Straight Jacket For Kate said...

Another beautifully written article, Sue :o)

For Kate, "grifting" is just another word for "working".

All that masterminding & begging companies is alot of hard work.

Imagine what an utter mental slug/blob she would be without all the coffee she consumes...

She is a Cow said...

I think her thank you tweet to the coffee companies is her way of giving the haterz a dig. In her mind she is thinking that she is a big celebrity and all she has to do is tweet for something and she shall receive, but in reality she just looks like a pathetic, desperate, has been who feels the need to grift for everything she desires instead of paying for it like us mediocre people.

Hey Kate...I bet REAL celebrities don't have to grift for things via twitter.

Desperate, pathetic, fool with a caffeine addition

Dallas Lady said...

Oh another topic: people were celebrating that it's now February and so her contract with TLC was up, but honestly I was never convinced that her contract wasn't finished when they dropped her.

THEY can cancel the contract anytime, it's the "performer" who can't just refuse to fulfill a contract. They're written that way, in the network's favor.

I can't see any possible reason why TLC would WANT to continue to have a contract with her, with a presumption of being paid or something? Or for specials, which they clearly had no intention of doing and still don't (per Kate's own admission).

Besides that, if it were February, who is to say it wasn't *through* February? But no matter, I've never believed she was still under contract with them.

I guess if she starts openly trashing TLC, we'll know she WAS under contract and now is not.

Anonymous said...

In addition to still calling herself a TV personality, she referred earlier today to "on set" (while mentioning she is a "quick pee-er"). She may have meant while being interviewed on the infrequent shows that she has appeared on, but I couldn't help but think she thinks of her house as her "set". Further establishing my thoughts that the children's home has been more of a movie studio than a real home.

I'm confused. Was it this trip where the travel info invited us all to "watch the twins playing on the beach"? I thought it was already a done deal that Kate was bringing Mady and Cara. Someone set me straight here, please.

I hadn't heard about Jon & Ellen breaking up, but I can't resist the urge to say I told you so! LOL. I think both Jon and Ellen are good people but I predicted they wouldn't last. Too bad yet another person is now gone from the kids' lives.

Sarah said...

The thing about a cruise is she can't escape the boat. It will be funny to hear what Mady "outs" her on in the public in front of her fans. Unless Mady gets time out in the cabin because of her truthful statements. Secretly hoping Mady makes a full of Kate on the cruise. Go Mady!

Flight of the Kiwi said...

Oh goodness, "non motivated"? UNmotivated Khate, UNmotivated.

I believe Khate's chronic fatigue is a direct result of her diet. The caffeine addiction, not only coffee but Coke as well, the salads and egg whites crap she posted on her blog as a "typical" days intake, the ridiculous amounts of chemically created sugar substitutes, AKA "artifical" sweetners, the over-the-top horribly unhealthy low carb, low fat, low protein self-created "diet" - chronic bad breath can be a side-effect of a super low carb diet - ketosis, the stupid choice of sugar laden breakfast pre-marathon per pic on twitter, and on and on and on. I'd wager she is suffering from severe blood sugar swing as well as a vitamin B-12 deficiency.

As for all her "paperwork", of course she has a pile of it - as would anyone who does not retrieve or open the mail on a daily basis. That's the hallmark of a super-organized individual - NOT.

Why is it Jon was bashed for that deal he had with subway on twitter yet the sheeple are blind to Khate's shameful grifting?

The cruise thing is beyond pathetic.

Nothing bothers me more than parents who think, act as though and outright exclaim that their kids BELONG to them. People are not property and do not fall under the category of ownership.

Kate questioning that people say she treats her children like commodities and then saying they belong to her in the same sentence is...well, I'm just slack jawed.

Kate, you do not live and breath for your kids, that's obvious. No, you live and breath for the attention, hair appointments and free trips. You live and breath for the photo shoots, t.v. interviews and magazine articles FEATURING YOU, that having twins then sextuplets brought.

Your children do not BELONG to you. All 8 of them are individuals who will grow up into autonomous beings with their own tastes, interests and talents. You know, PEOPLE.

Moreover, they will one day be adults who look back on their childhoods and see, well...

It's all there on DVD, YouTube, blogs such as this and of course, Twitter. I'm sure the archives will be around for them to peruse at their leisure.

Sadly, they will see what we all do. That the woman who bore them was more concerned about getting her phony smile snapped by a photographer than she was about actually being a Mom.

Sheri said...

Oh...sorry...BREATH was spelled in context...I know it's actually BREATHE. She's such a dumbass.

dumber than hammers said...

If "fans" don't have money for this ridiculously over-priced cruise, announcing that the twins will be on board isn't going to make funds fall from the sky.

On the other hand, maybe a few pedophiles will sign up. Adults, you know, with no kids of their own, and an over-developed interest in Kate's.

No way Kate will spring for a nanny, and watching the twins isn't HER business, so this could be the main chance for the wrong sort of people.

I'm predicting that the whole thing gets canceled. If there already aren't enough die-hard fans to keep this thing going, and the murmurings are that everyone thinks the cost is too high, this newest exploitation of those COMMODITIES, Kate's children, isn't going to change things.

I think this latest example of her PIMPING out her 11 year old twin girls to get cruise bookings is just the latest example. Case closed.

=========

I think that the concern was not so much bashing Kate on Twitter as it was the battle between the haters and the sheeple, and the cruel bullying and just downright horrible behavior that each has toward one another. Totally immature, irresponsible and unacceptable.

Hook 'em Horns said...

The reason that the twins are just now going is that Kate does not want them to. She does not like spending time with them. They (especially Mady) get on her nerves. I'll bet the people in charge mentioned it at the beginning and Kate refused, but now has to in order to get more people to sign up. But people don't really want to see the twins (sad, but true). They want to see the sextuplets. Give it a few weeks. She will announce they are going too.

Bah, Bah - exactly! It's one thing to bash, or call to account, Kate on Twitter. I think that's perfectly fine and needs to be done, over and over for as long as she continues to exploit her children. But the constant battle - it's like a territorial war - between the sheeple and the non-fans, is just ridiculous now. Nothing is accomplished. No one wins or is EVER going to win. If they'd just stop, Kate would fade away.

Sue Buddy said...

Pink and Gift, thank you for reading and commenting. Rarely is there a shortage of ridiculousness coming from Kate. The fans are right, she's inspiring.

Nantucket Bound said...

"I wandered over to Preesi last night, where they were discussing that 15 minute blog has a holier-than-thou attitude about the ghouls (my word--they used the term hater), that live on Kate's twitter. Many of them sort of came out that they are one of them, and then, in non-public messages, gave hints and guessed which twiitter identity belonged to each person.."

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Where is this on Preesi? I am navigationally-challenged and have problems figuring out the organization on that site!

Dmasy said...

If Kate's cruise does not get canceled and there are only a dozen or so fans traveling, she won't be able to hide. Her nightmare would be dinners and hanging out with a handful of devoted fans. They would expect undivided attention. Kinda' comical....kinda' tragic.

If "fans" don't have money for this ridiculously over-priced cruise, announcing that the twins will be on board isn't going to make funds fall from the sky.

On the other hand, maybe a few pedophiles will sign up. Adults, you know, with no kids of their own, and an over-developed interest in Kate's.

No way Kate will spring for a nanny, and watching the twins isn't HER business, so this could be the main chance for the wrong sort of people.

I'm predicting that the whole thing gets canceled. If there already aren't enough die-hard fans to keep this thing going, and the murmurings are that everyone thinks the cost is too high, this newest exploitation of those COMMODITIES, Kate's children, isn't going to change things.
______________________________________________

Amen, amen, amen. I thought the same thing... even the most dedicated of sheeple plainly said they can't afford to go. Period. Saying that now the twins are coming is not going to get these people to spend. money. they. do. not. have.

As the great Ron White says "you can't fix stupid." Kate, Cindy, Cindy's husband and Alice Travel are trying to fix stupid. It was a stupid idea to begin with. People are not booking this, now they look desperate adding more perks.

I'd bet anything that there might have been more sheeple considering the cruise, but the big ALICE TRAVEL IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY EVENTS CANCELLED BY KATE AND THERE WILL BE NO REFUNDS disclaimer might have spooked them. The fact that that point was so promenently made is a big red flag that Kate was already planning on missing several of the events. This cruise will be cancelled, for sure. We should start a pool predicting when the announcement will come. For ex. predict the month/week the announcement will come and what excuse will be used... lol!

Rearranging the Deck Chairs on the Titanic said...

To #94 above: It is NOT tragic. Tragedies are what happen to people who don't deserve bad things. Khate deserves EVERY BAD BIT OF KARMA SHE GETS !!!!! I will say it again. Khate is a sociopath with NO redeeming human qualities.

PA Parent Anonymous said...

"Uh Oh, (if it is her) Cara's Formspring has been suspended. Hmmm....."

When the site says it has been suspended, does that mean that the owner suspended it, or that Formspring closed it down?

PA Parent Anonymous said...

++++

If Alice cancels it, will there be refunds? This is not clear on their page. It says that if Kate cancels, the sheeple are still responsible, but what if the agency itself cancels it for lack of interest? Again, Alice's disclaimer doesn't address that.

koopdedoo said...

I feel awful for the 11 year old girls who may think they are going on a fun cruise. Is there anyway they could possibly understand that they are going for display purposes only (which is quite creepy to me).

The travel company's disclaimer about no refunds make me wonder if Khate gets paid EVEN if she never sets foot on the ship. If any sheeple pays that fee, Khate & Alice Travel are going to get paid. Think about that scam. "Let's pretend we are going on a cruise, charge people extra money to go with us, never set foot on the ship." That's even worse that setting up the scam to get a free trip and have a craft activity with the sheeple, isn't it?

Ok, kids going on cruise, using to sell cruise.
Grifting again big time.
And now, something I heard on the 5 pm news(central time): Tanning beds are very bad for you and they can increase the chance of skin cancer, cause they are not regulated. So I guess leather skin Kate will have to go back to spray on or bottle tan or wait: be a pale face & body mediocre/normal/hum drum/average person, like the rest of us. What KATE! as kate says: NEVA!

senior citizen said...

There is an extremely interesting article in this week's NY Magazine entitled "Fame: A P&L," which talks about the evolution of celebrity into a money making lifestyle, where talent is not needed. While Gosselin is thankfully not mentioned, reading this will give you an excellent grasp of a world where tweeting, running marathons, selling pictures of your children or taking them on sponsored cruises, for instance, has become a way of life for grade Z "names. And many of the Z listers make some money this way.

Jumping In said...

My guess is that the trip will be a go for Kate, her twins and those who have paid up. Alice Travel will release the unsold cabins back to Royal Caribbean early to avoid penalties. If this is a 'no-go', it will because Kate did not get a guarantee from Alice Travel that she goes regardless of the numbers of cabins booked. So, bottom-line is that this will be a trip with Kate, her twins, and a few of her 'rag-tag' fans. Or, it will just fade away because a minimum number cabins had to be sold for Kate to go free, (required by the agent). I personally feel she will go, and blame the lack of proper marketing for the few in attendance, not that she really cares, because, after all, it's all about Kate and it's just another 'freebie'.

Marie said...

You know what, I've seen ladies, a bit younger than Kate, the affects it has on you. Leathery skin and all that. If Kate wants to roast in a box, by all means let's not stop her.

If you pick an action, you shouldn't get to pick the consequence I think. Tanning in a bed, for crying out loud, I mean it's not all that hard to realize it's bad. If you want a tan, go lay out in your front yard with a good sun-block and an ice cold drink. Doesn't cost you anything.

Another thing, it's the middle of winter! Why do people care if you have a tan? Go white like most of us usually do.

I'm sorry but I'm against tanning if it shows. But go on, I say let Kate go for it. It's her own choice to look like a walking over-aged leather saddle.

TLC stinks said...

I don't know if she is getting paid or is grifting with all the coffee talk, but I sure hope they put an end to it. She's always a disaster to companies. Since she's not that we'll known I'm leaning towards blatant grifting. These companies certainly don't need her endorsement.

AuntieAnn said...

As a result you will notice that you don't get many new posters as most of us aren't willing to deal with the "sheeple" comments that come our way if we dare post anything other than a totally negative opinion of Kate.

I don't think that's an accurate statement. I see lots of new posters here all the time.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

I agree that the problem here is that Kate's demographic doesn't have the money for this and certainly not on short notice. And that anyone who DOES have the money is usually smart enough not to spend money on something as silly as this. It's not going to help her demographic to come up with the money by adding more silly events to it or bringing children on board.

Not to mention, I agree that oddly enough, the fans left don't seem to be interested in the kids. I find this odd, sort of. And yet, a part of me is not surprised because how could anyone with any kind of sincere interest in the kids defend Kate over them? It just wouldn't happen if you have any kind of heart for these kids.

Dmasy said...

Reading her tweets at the top of the page. She sure is full of LOL hilarity tonight. She seems to think every one of her responses is charmingly clever. Sometimes, when I've had a couple of drinks, I think I am much funnier than I really am, too. Wondering....

I have thought of this too haha. If only a few fans go she won't have much of an excuse not to hang out with them. ANd when she doesn't hang out with them, which of course she won't, I predict some very angry fans.

I think the kids are a convenient out. Now when she doesn't want to hang out with her creepy fans, she can just so oh I have Mady and Cara to attend to. When really she'll be in the spa with Steve and they'll be in the kids area.

In addition, she has a knowledge of Canadian "holidays," sports, language, and education lingo as well.

A Pink Straight Jacket For Kate said...

Katie Irene's shake down cruise sounds unethical from bow to stern.

I'm sure that Alice Travel & Kate made sure to protect themselves in case of a lawsuit.

While none of her gullible sheep have a legal foot to stand on. They signed over any right to sue in case the cruise turns out to be less than what they expected, and was advertised.

Oh well. That's what you get for being a sheeple.

What a brilliant idea she had really. Tweet about how horrible a product is. Wait for the company to realize a celeb is trashing them. Of course they're going to bend over backwards to not only fix the problem, but make the celeb really happy with a bunch of freebies so they'll tweet their happiness. Mission accomplished.

Kate sucks at a lot of things. But she is one darn good grifter. I mean really, she is impressive. Seven years after multiples are born you're still getting freebies like this? Insane.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Have you noticed also that Kate always grifts for things for herself? Rarely for the kids. Kids don't drink coffee of course. All this freebie work is purely about Kate and only Kate.

Dwindle said...

hi, all. I havent posted in a long time but just wanted to say HI to all. I agree with the poster who said Kate will beg off most of the scheduled events on the cruise. I predict she will cite sea sickness, the twins will be front and center with a sitter, and Kate and Steve will be secluded off somewhere. Dealing with her 'sea sickness' or 'flu', dontchaknow.

AuntieAnn said...

Oh Kate's a player alright but I'm almost sure Keurig didn't know who the hell Kate Gosselin was until she told them.

And yes, she can certainly put "grifting" down on her resume as her real profession.

Kate is a twit said...

I see how whenever she talks about coffee lately she always includes @coffemate in her tweets and so do her tweeties. Guess she doesn't realize the the official CoffeeMate twitter name is @coffee_mate. So none of her tweets are showing up on their official page. Oops!

Ilovedogs said...

Canadian here-does kate have to pay tax on her freebies?

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

I love dogs, depends if they are in exchange for anything.

Say if a Coffee Company gives Kate's 100 pounds of coffee in exchange for 10 tweets about how great it is. Kate better get receipts for that coffee, because that coffee is income in exchange for the work of tweeting 10 times to promote them.

Income doesn't have to be in cash. It can be in a cup of joe.

Also, you are at a high risk of audit if your income is not in a traditional paycheck from a brick and mortar company like most Americans. Hi Kate!

mim said...

Some promoter. At least get the Twitter address right.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Oh, on the flip side, say coffee company just loves Kate for tweeting about them and decides to thank her with some gifts of coffee. That's probably not income because they are not asking for anything in return. They're just giving her a gift and not expecting anything else. (Though they may be HOPING she'll tweet nice things, there was no agreement which would make it income/payment/TAXABLE)

in #124 it should be @coffeemate-I left out an "e". But it still is the wrong twitter account.

**************
I also agree that the trip will be a go. No way will she let Alice Travel get out of her clutches without a free trip. She may not make any money, but if she gets a trip out of it, then she thinks she wins.
Did you notice that the Paula Deen and the Osmond cruises were selling tickets right up until the departure? That's because there was an expectation that there were still some interested parties who might grab up last-minute tickets, and there were very few tickets left, so no big loss if a couple don't sell. But Kate's cut-off is in May, 3 months before departure. Alice Travel knows that they need to cut it off early so they can release the remaining tickets back to RC and not get stuck paying for them and losing money, And they could end up losing big with this cruise if they're not careful. Fact is, Kate's demographic is not well off. She does not appeal to well-to-do or educated people. I think she may have just figured that out.

Wow, really? Care to share some examples?

I've posted all of maybe two or three comments here in the last couple of weeks and suddenly I'm being called out twice in one day with zero provocation. Please note Rule #3, btw.


As far as some of the other comments I'm reading here tonight - not that I owe anyone here an explanation, but just for the record, I am NOT who many people seem to think I am on Twitter. I have bashed Khate on Twitter for shamelessly grifting for freebies, and continuing to exploit and use the kids for fame and money, but I do NOT bicker or taunt the sheeple. Mind you, though, the sheeple's favorite pasttime is to goad and bait the "haters", and then when they finally get a nasty response, they cry "bully", act innocent, and then delete their tweets. So, I don't feel sorry for any of them even if I don't engage with them in that manner myself.


Admin, #125 - thanks, I appreciate it.

Westcoaster said...

Does Ms. Keurig aka Organic Kate have any clue about the not so green issues with K-cup machines? i think not. And I doubt she uses the refillable, reusable cups that do make this type of machine a lot more recycling friendly. That would take too much time for Need My Coffee Now. She's been twattering about coffee all day long. Tough working life.

Did anyone see the tweet above where a fan asked about whether there were going to be any specials, and she answered NO. All caps--must have hit a sore spot. Before she'd do the "You never know, wink-wink" thing, and later she said not with TLC but maybe with someone else, and now it's just NO. Smart move on her part, though. You can only wink-wink and hint-hint for so long before people start wondering where the heck that show/special she's been hinting about is. Then they start realizing she's been lying to them all along. The sooner she starts dealing with reality and starts making plans for the mediocre life she's going to be leading from now on,the better it will be for her and the kids in the long run.

Kate is a twit said...

NLAN-question about twitter? When you tweet someone who is verified, do you see the check mark that they are verified? Reason I'm asking is because @Coffee_Mate is a verified account.

I don't think she'll realize it until one of her tweeties tells her. Too bad she blocks the "haters", because she would have seen that they had a discussion about the correct account.

Kate is a twit said...

It's also strange that she follows both Starbucks and Keurig, but not CoffeeMate. They probably haven't offered her anything, so there's no need for her to DM them her address.

Maybe that's why she including them more in her tweets, and she's probably wondering why they aren't reacting.

Gift of grab said...

Jumping In, I was wondering about your comment above re: "lack of proper marketing" for the Kate cruise. In the week after this was announced there were at least a dozen "stories" in the various tabs and online, as well as mentions on the tab TV shows in primetime. Kate and her cruise got a helluva lot more publicity than Donnie & Marie or Paula Deen, to name just two celebrities who appear to have been quite successful at bringing in cruise passengers. So what in your view would "proper" marketing look like? If she can't get it done with all of that coverage, then it's clear that there is a BIG gap between the public's perception of her and her (and her promoters') perception of herself.

Dmasy said...

Gift of Gab, I think Jumping In meant that Kate would find an excuse for the unsold cabins. One of Kate's excuses might be lack of proper marketing. She couldn't accept the fact that people just didn't want to join her.

Marie said...

Am I the only one truly who feels weird that a 3 year old woman has to announce daily what time she gets up and goes to bed every single day?!

I don't know I just find it a tad redundant. What, would the world stop spinning if nobody knew what time Kate went to bed?

What's next is she going to tell everyone what time she goes to the bathroom? I mean, why is this important? I wouldn't fuss I guess but this is ever darn day.

Good point on the marketing. She has had quite a bit of exposure online, albeit, not all of it positive. But, any advertising is good advertising. I was speaking more from a sales point of view; a better, more enticing sales pitch by Alice Travel. But, the problem/issue here is they are selling (at an up charge) a cruise experience with a narcissistic, no-talent mother of 8 who really has little to offer. It is tough to sell something no one really has an appetite for anymore. Pardon the pun, but that ship has sailed!

carolina peach said...

fast forward twenty years...Kate's still tweeting. "thank goodness 4 my Depends. Have u all signed up for the Senior tour? Don't remember where we're going, but it will be SO much fun!!!!!!!"

Gift of grab said...

Thanks, Dmasy. I guess I misunderstood. I bet the exposure this cruise got was far beyond Alice Travel's wildest dreams, I doubt they have much of a budget for promoting these things. They must have thought they hit the jackpot when the story was picked up by so many outlets. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the stories made fun of the whole concept, which I am certain they did not expect.

Oh well, live and learn.

Senior Citizen, thanks for the link to NY Mag, what a thought-provoking piece! This is exactly what we have seen transpire with Kate. Uncanny.

Something Stinks said...

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks something stinks to high heaven here. I'll bet money Jon is in on this. Breaking up with Ellen, the tweet about lunch, the pap showing up when he's picking up the kids. Now the twins going on the cruise. He knows what kind of freaks Khate attracts. They've even called his job in the past. If he was the least bit concerned about the welfare of those kids, the twins would not be going on that cruise. He use to be pretty protective of the kids when the paps were around. He sure didn't seem too upset in the latest pics. He's probably tired of being broke. Time to use the little moneymakers again.

Paper Plates Forever! Yay! said...

Is Kate going to bed early now because her personal marathon coach has told her to? It's all part of her new obsession, beating her time and getting 4 1/2 hours or less. What a productive citizen. Doesn't do volunteer work, doesn't help others, just shops, runs and spends money. Either that or she's sick and tired of having those juvenile tweetie parties with the usual bores night after night.

I hate to keep droning on about it, but the Gosselin Give Back was just a TLC episode and nothing more. Sometimes I can't believe she outright lied to the viewing public because that is what she was told was going to be their next episode. She sat in that chair with those 2 interviewers at the food bank and said this was just the start for them and we would be seeing more of them giving back. If I was Kate, I would be making damn sure I did give back some way because of that fake episode. I would worry about my integrity and character and how others would view me. How can she not feel any guilt or shame. She truly is a cunning manipulator.

Based on my experience I have found otherwise. Lots of fathers are concerned about the welfare of their kids but they don't always get what they want. Plus, there's just way too much about this situation we don't know. For all we know a judge overruled Jon. He doesn't have veto power. If both he and Kate disagree, a judge decides.

How do we know that Jon didn't make sure the kids won't have anything to do with the fans on this cruise before he agreed to it? If it were my twins I can't say that I would object to them going along IF they were completely protected from the fan events and had their own nanny/bodyguard. As others have pointed out, this is one huge ship. It's entirely possible the twins could be kept away from Kate's duties to her fans. So they enjoy a fun trip without their little siblings tagging along for once, Kate makes money off gullible sheeple and is happy for a time, and maybe even Jon will take the Tups.

I don't wish for Jon and Kate to forever be fighting over every last little thing. I think there is a way to compromise on this one so that the kids aren't exploited, but still get to enjoy the trip.

The safest bet is that they don't go, but I would think a loving father who saw two kids who really wanted to go would try to figure out a way for them to do it so that HE is comfortable too with it.

I don't envy Jon--it's a fine line walking here to try to keep everyone happy, getting along, not being unreasonable, not trying to fight over everything, etc. I had always thought that had Kate not exploited the living hell out of the kids, he might have been a heck of a lot more open to occasional things like this. Maybe this is a trade off--NO MORE SPECIALS, but a fan cruise is a compromise. It's just one cruise, and it's a huge ship with kids areas--they could go off and do their own thing and never have to meet a creepy fan.
Had the kids not had the crap exploited out of them, yearly or biyearly specials MIGHT have been something okay and something he could go along with. Maybe these two are finally trying to meet each other halfway.

I kind of feel a tad more hopeful about this situation than I have in a long time. I don't immediately feel like I need to categorize any compromise Jon makes with Kate as "Jon giving in."

The Bitter End said...

I agree that the problem here is that Kate's demographic doesn't have the money for this and certainly not on short notice. And that anyone who DOES have the money is usually smart enough not to spend money on something as silly as this. It's not going to help her demographic to come up with the money by adding more silly events to it or bringing children on board.

Not to mention, I agree that oddly enough, the fans left don't seem to be interested in the kids. I find this odd, sort of. And yet, a part of me is not surprised because how could anyone with any kind of sincere interest in the kids defend Kate over them? It just wouldn't happen if you have any kind of heart for these kids.

For what's left of the sheeple, Katie Irene is their hero. They see their own lives as sitting in the double wide (or reasonable facsimile), taking care of the kids, who are probably long gone with no money while the cheating ex has the new girlfriend/wife a nice place to live and the money.

They see Katie with all the money, the house, the cars, celebrity, etc. If they could have swung that deal their troubles would be over. They would be in the promised land. I don't believe for a second they have happy lives with picket fence, the DH, DD, DS, etc. They got kicked to the curb and they're bitter about it.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Yes I have thought for some time that ironically, it's the fans who are really jealous of Kate and want her life. Heck they practically say they want what she has.

You don't have to be angry and bitter to be jealous. You can be kind and sweet and loving to a person you are jealous of. Somewhere along the way fans imposed some kind of anger element to jealousy. But jealous doesn't mean--angry psycho. It just means jealous. From what little I read at Pressi's about the big drama of two of the worst sheeple blogs, turns out their lives got exposed as just a facade. I actually do feel bad for her fans sometimes, for anyone with such issues in life that they would choose to admire someone like Kate the rest of the public can't stand. And the fact that they don't seem even the least big embarrassed by such a thing.

The Bitter End said...

I hate to keep droning on about it, but the Gosselin Give Back was just a TLC episode and nothing more. Sometimes I can't believe she outright lied to the viewing public because that is what she was told was going to be their next episode. She sat in that chair with those 2 interviewers at the food bank and said this was just the start for them and we would be seeing more of them giving back. If I was Kate, I would be making damn sure I did give back some way because of that fake episode. I would worry about my integrity and character and how others would view me. How can she not feel any guilt or shame. She truly is a cunning manipulator.
------------------------------------------------
Katie Irene lies about a lot of things. What's so special about this lie? It was in the script. The contract said follow the script. Katie is a "contract follower" (or whatever the hell she said).

I don't know why nobody calls her out on anything, but it is what it is. She's got to be close to the "Peter Principle" at this point so I'm not sure how much anything matters anymore. Her manager is doing a heck of a job keeping her relevant. We'll see how far that goes. The cruise is probably the determining factor as to if she keeps faking it until she makes it. Sit back and enjoy the show.

If you have any doubts as to the sincerity of our Katie...just keep thinking back to Jon's shirt. Lies....Lies....Lies.

Marie said...

I bet Kate thinks she will always be relevant, that she will always be on top. As long as, oh I hate to use her words, as long as she has 8 kids to provide for, I pretty sure she thinks people will still keep giving her stuff, giving her opportunities. It's not Kate that needs to go away. I think it's all the people, you know the ones who "gift" her free this or free that, who comp her hair cuts, ask her to be apart of such and such or go on a cruise.

If these people would just drop the fact of I don't know either feeling sorry for this DIVORCED (not single) mom I bet Kate's bubble would burst faster than you could poke it.

When people stop giving you unnecessary attention or when they stop coming around don't people usually feel the gig is up?

Did Keurig send her coffee or a coffee machine? I just called Keurig last week because mine stopped brewing for some reason. The customer service rep walked me through a few trouble-shooting steps, and when those didn't work she said, "Unfortunately, your Keurig is just beyond its one-year warranty, but we'll send you a new one anyway." Yay! In three days I had a new, $120 Keurig at NO cost to me. All I had to do was mail them the K-cup holder out of my old machine. Now that's some awesome customer service. I figured this would happen after doing some reading on the internet. This is apparently something they do often.

Katie Cry-duh said...

NLAN, sending positive thoughts your way. Love your posts here and at preesi's. Don't be a stranger either place.

Katie Cry-duh said...

Keurig is actually very smart to keep their customers happy with working machines. Bet they make way more money from the kcups per customer than they do the machines. Kinda how cell phone providers sell their phones for cheap and make money on the monthly service. So Kreider may think she got special treatment by blackmailing keurig but in the end they win with a caffeine addict like her. She may have gotten some free coffee too, but what will she do when that runs out? "waaah, wish @keurig would send me more free coffee. I need coffee to take care of kidsx8"? Yeah, she'll be publicly ignored like that Jason Hueman guy did to her.

anger issues kate said...

Marie: your too late Kate already mentioned, about going to the bathroom. She tweeted that the kids were mommy this and mommy that, and it was preventing her from going to the bathroom, the other morning.
Admin: I agree with you 100%, about Jon. Kate either threaten Jon with court or they were in court at some recent time. I notice that Kates tweets , have been light and farther apart time wise. Enough to go to court and get things settled and not tweet about it. Look at the space between tweets, gone for 22 hours, 10 hours etc, more than enough time for court in Philly, a couple hours or less drive. How many times has Kate been to court, and most of us did not know or was made public, (only cause someone went to where you can find that info and published it) It is none of our business, but Kate hints at it and given past performances, the curious look it up. I don't, cause I don't care. We all know the game Kate likes to play, if it is not her way, then court we go. So if they did meet, maybe Kate called her lawyer, and presented Jon, with papers: either let the kids go on trip or I will drag you into court. Jon is like us can't afford to pay court costs, everytime Kate wants something using the kids. The poor man will be broke. I never believed that Kate is as poor as she puts on. Jon may have been right about the 11 bank accounts in her name only, he claimed Kate had. If Kate grifts, had TLC pay for everything, then she has money stashed away. Kate may be a great actress, she sure is fooling the public, the sob story of poor me with 8 kids and may loose everything, but still manages to go places, eat organic, buy organic, new cars, new stuff, hair cuts etc. Kate may play dumb, with talk, but she is and has been laughing all the way to the bank. As for TLC, I bet, they offered her a specials package(like they did with the Rollofts), but maybe at a money amount, say $25,000, not the $250,000, Kate wanted. Plus, Jon probably had something to say about it, that's why Kate tweets very little of being back on TV, and that's why I think Kate has been in court a few times of recent with Jon, over this. That's why there is no specials coming.

Did you have to give them a credit card number to guarantee that you would send the cup holder back to them (so they could charge your card for the new machine if you didn't return the cup holder)?

Marie said...

I was so kidding. I guess I missed that yesterday.

Now, to those of you who have kids, do they really prevent you from going to a bathroom for what 5 minutes? I mean I've babysat enough to know kids can talk your ear off but I've never had this problem.

Is it like the episode where she freaked out on one of her kids slamming the door in his face that she really had to go?

Another reality TV star is dead. At age 25. Cause of death pending.

http://www.newsday.com/news/nick-and-aaron-carter-s-sister-25-dies-1.3497333

Aaron and Nick Carter have had major problems with their mother's management of their money. The boys eventually said enough is enough and estranged her. Think kids don't get fed up eventually, Kate?

"Nick and Aaron Carter said they had to cut their mother out of their lives because she insisted on acting like a boss instead of a mom. "I think, mainly what we're saying now, is that we were starved for that attention, of a motherly figure," Nick told "20/20."


"Sometimes I would just stop and I would be like, "Mom, why can't we just fight about, you know, me being a teenager, and me growing up?" Aaron said.

Family tensions heightened in 1998. Jane had spent nine months traveling the world to make 10-year-old Aaron a star, and both boys had hits. However, things weren't as sunny at home. According to Bob Carter, the couple's three daughters were increasingly resentful of their mother's focus on the high-earning sons.

"The other kids used to call Nick the 'cash cow.' And when Nick grew up ... Aaron was the cash cow. 'Oh, mom only likes the cash cow.' This is what the girls would say," Bob Carter said."

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Oh Gosh this is creepy I'm reading more about this.....


By 2003, Jane and Bob Carter had separated. Aaron lived with his mom, but decided one day to visit his dad, who he hadn't spoken with in eight months. He said his dad showed him documents that convinced him his mother hadn't paid him the money he was owed.

"Every show we did, we would probably make about maybe $40,000, $50,000 a show. And it was all gone," Aaron said.

.....Jane tells "20/20" she is estranged from four of her five children, but is still close with 18-year-old Leslie Carter, who has also written and recorded songs. And, yes, Jane is her manager as well.

But Jane is optimistic that the mother-daughter business relationship will work. "It's different, because I don't have that stress of the bad relationship. And that's all behind me now. So it's going to be fun this time," Jane said.

However, Aaron has some advice for his sister, "My advice to you would be, 'Don't let mom manage you.'"
...

Four out of five kids estranged! And now, Leslie, the only one she wasn't estranged from, is dead.

Wow, there have been away too many personal attacks here. Come one people, we dont need this. It stirs up the pot and makes us all look like jerks. Dont give them that power.

As for the twins going on the cruse, I hope that they are protect from the fans at all times. I think that they could have a great time. There are lots of events for tweens on the cruse. They could make new friends and have pen pals afterwords.

I dont think its fair to bash on Jon and say that he must be getting paid. We dont know the specifics of the situation. A judge could have decided that it was ok for the twins to go. Jon could have also decided that they could go IF they were protected from the fans. All is know is that Jon has been working hard to try to build a private life for him and the kids. He messed up big time after the divorce. I think he was dealing with a lot of complex emotions and did not know how to handle them.

Marie said...

Thing I am wondering is, Kate or TLC set aside 15% for all 8 kids of whatever the amount was per episode.

I got red flags of Kate managing the money when I heard two different stories:

A. The kids have "fully" funded college

B. The kids have "some" for college or not enough.

Isn't this 15% can be used towards doctor bills, schools and the kids needs I don't see how there is going to be any of much left. And with Kate out of a "career" and her caring on about how scared she is for provided. I mean this jut has red flags written all over it for me.

You are diobaying rules 3 and 4.

Rule 3 says not to insult other posters, pick fights, or refuse to move on and let things go. NLAN has not attacked anyone personally on this blog. She follows the rules that are set for this blog. Her comments on a different site are NOT relevant to her behavior on THIS blog.

Rule 4 says no trash talking other blogs/bloggers
Preesi's site is a blog of sorts. If you dont like what is said there then dont read it. Walk away from it and go play someplace else.

I am personally tired of all of this drama. You are just to stir up shit at this point. You either need to stop it and follow the rules for this blog or go someplace else.

Concerning Kates tanning!
I believe Kate has her own tanning bed, which is not unusual as a friend of mine had one.
This goes back to when Kate was packing for a trip and it was early morning.I noticed her eyes had white rings around them which eye
protectors worn while tanning gives you. It
always shows when you just had a tanning session within an hour or so. JMO

Gosselin8ComeFirst said...

Kate twitter -...still thanking @Keurig and now @coffeemate and @Starbucks too for taking care of a caffeine needing mom of 8's needs! Thanks all! Xoxo

-----------------------

Nothing makes a grifter happier than freebies... She is seriously on a grifting high... Keurig, Coffee Mate, Starbucks.... all day long. Not not much has changed with her. The more she gets for free, the better. And she is bragging and absolutely shameless about it.

Oh, and by the way "sheeples," she needs you to go on her cruise, because there are SO many things she does not get for free and must PAY for. It is your duty to help her out, as she has 8, Count 'Em 8 kids.

Gosselin8ComeFirst said...

A little more snark of Kate and her tanning. When they went white water rafting, she was insane about not getting a drop of water on her. My guess is since they were traveling for 2 weeks, she had to use a spray on tanner, and she was afraid it would wash off. What a vain nut!! She pretty much ruined that experience for her kids with her constant bitching. The real Kate was exposed and not edited.

DebbieDowner4 said...

I was watching some vids on you tube the other day, and stumbled upon Spencer Pratt and Heidi whats-her-face on the View, around 2009. Whoopie hated them, you could tell, and Babra Walters said something along the lines of "what are you going to be doin in 5,10 years...you can't go through life being famous for being famous...last year it was cute but now you need to grow up..."

Not sure why nobody called out Kate on this, but the same things can be said to her.

What does she really think will sustain her family's financial life 5, 10, or 20 years down the road? Time goes by very quickly, and the twins will be in college before we know it.

You can't fund college/weddings/retirement/food with free coffee.

Kate is almost 40. She needs to think long term - retirement, etc. She is a laughing stock now - no Hollywood peeps are calling with job offers, the talk show is never going to happen, people mock her to her face and she thinks its adoration. I've never seen such a damn fool.

Kate...you read this, so I'll tell you something....get a real job. Stop tweeting about when you use the bathroom, wake up, go to sleep, eat, run, etc.. (Why the hell do you think anyone cares about that?)...Get rid of the fake nails and teeth - makes you look like a clown. Get Skeve-O's winkie out of your hands. Grow the f up. Maybe, just maybe, if you fade away, work on raising you own kids and not let a nanny do it, and come back in 10 years with ONE interview about how you realize what a monster you became, you are sorry, etc... then MAYBE people will have respect for you. Right now, people think of you as a piece of dog shit stuck to the bottom of a shoe - its still there and stinks, and will never go away.

Pathetic.

Re:
Gosselin8ComeFirst said... 177
"...she had to use a spray on tanner..."

Possible, but hasn't she said that she is "allergic" to self-tanners as the reason why she uses the UV tanning beds? Of course, she can't keep her versions of reality straight.

All this sniping back and forth is petty and giving me a headache. It's beginning to sound like Kate's twitter feed. Peace out, need a break

koopdedoo said...

DebbieDowner4 (#178), I agree!

I don't think people called her on her "fame whore"ness because the cute kids blinded them. And then there is the victim card she plays. And the fact that media doesn't necessarily research like they used to do. With technology, media all makes split second decisions in an attempt to get the story. (Look at the editor of the Penn State newspaper who resigned over misreporting Joe Paterno's death the day before it happened.)

While the constant grifting bugs me (I never win even a random drawing, you know?), I can see a time where Khate might not be able to pay for something important with K-cups or other grifted paraphernalia. Can't you just picture her trying to pay for hair color with something she has grifted? (that image makes me smile!)

Lovely heartwarming family picture, mom with her big mouth open (YET AGAIN) and twins being dragged along with hands in vice grip (obviously Mady too as the bitch doesn't have a hand free for the 9000th pink phone). The facial expressions of all three show what a happy outing this was (YET AGAIN). SHE just has to be in CONTROL (YET AGAIN). And then we wonder why our blood boils when we even think about her.

Duckman said...

Sarah said... 64

The thing about a cruise is she can't escape the boat. It will be funny to hear what Mady "outs" her on in the public in front of her fans. Unless Mady gets time out in the cabin because of her truthful statements. Secretly hoping Mady makes a full of Kate on the cruise. Go Mady!

------------------------------------------------

Even if the twins don't taken hostage by Kate for the cruise, Kate's bound to do her version of Sherman's march to the sea by carving out a swath of alienation as she bludgeons her way around the ship.

In the past, she could piss off a bunch of people, but not suffer much in terms of consequences, since all involved would be in different locations by nightfall. Not so on a ship. Everybody's there for the week, and those she dissed could be confronting her about that. On top of that, the captain is the law aboard ship. If he thinks Kate and Steve-o should be ejected at the next port and tossed onto a plane bound for the mainland, that's it for them.

Something Stinks said... 152
I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks something stinks to high heaven here. I'll bet money Jon is in on this. Breaking up with Ellen, the tweet about lunch, the pap showing up when he's picking up the kids. Now the twins going on the cruise. He knows what kind of freaks Khate attracts. They've even called his job in the past. If he was the least bit concerned about the welfare of those kids, the twins would not be going on that cruise. He use to be pretty protective of the kids when the paps were around. He sure didn't seem too upset in the latest pics. He's probably tired of being broke. Time to use the little moneymakers again.
********
I think you're right here--Jon and Kate got together and brainstormed about how they could use the kids to make more money. Jon doesn't make all that much, so there's only so much he can do. Kate is media roadkill, so she's not getting anywhere there. Money is only trickling into the bank, but flooding out. It's only a matter of time until it's all gone, and they need to come up with a plan. Kate would have used the kids to guilt Jon--"Do you really want to see them get pulled out of the school they love, do you want them to lose their home?", into loosening up and letting her use them more. The problem is, the time to use the kids for fame and fortune is gone. No more adorable Asian babies. She can try, but it's not gonna work. Other people have younger, cuter babies they are willing to sell out to the highest bidder, and the Gosseling novelty has worn off. Now all that's left are years and years of having to support them (the kids) ahead of her.

Layla said...

OOps, Gosselin, not Gosseling.

Gift of grab said...

Someone took the trouble on Twitter yesterday to contrast Kate's comments about the marathon in the RW article with Kate's OWN account of her marathon experience as posted on her Web site. The inconsistencies were blatant and enormous. Which calls into question the whole basis of the RW article. If they didn't even read Kate's own account prior to publishing the seriously discrepant one that she gave to them, then they have violated the most fundamental principles of journalism.

On the other hand, it pleases me to think that they perhaps deliberately took her words down verbatim and published the interview as she said it, knowing full well how different this version of the story was from her previous written account and allowing her to show the world yet again how she LIES and distorts the facts, all day, every day.

Does RW "know" her well enough to be this subtle? Probably not, but putting the versions side by side is quite the eye-opener.

I would agree--actually, I think RW threw her under the bus (how refreshing to see HER get thrown for once) with that article. They took her own words, didn't edit at all, and let her expose herself for the illiterate moron she really is. That magazine is for real runners, and nothing about that article makes her sound like a real runner. She doesn't train, doesn't eat right for running, doesn't seem to have any real motivation for--or even enjoyment of--running, nothing. Instead, it's all about her, trying to impress upon all the mediocre runners how famous she is, plus tossing out some truly stupid tidbits about her zipper, her shoes, the tyoe of headband she wears. They exposed her for the joke she is, and we're going to see that happen more and more often now that she doesn't have TLC to clean up the mess she makes every time she opens her mouth.

Pity Party said...

Based on KT's history, I don't think Jon will see a dime from any of KT's winnings (not earnings) from the kids. She probably had the big girls plead with him to let them go and he agreed. I also do not believe the tweet that said they had lunch together, unless it came from Jon or even in this case the world's most prolific liar, KT.

I bet before she goes on the cruise there will be pap pics of her leaving the tanning salon. And...Steve will be taking pics of her in her bikini while on the cruise. Bleh!

I, too, don't believe in coincidences, so something is up. I can certainly buy into that the money is drying up, thus the meeting.

I went to the RC site and they do not require any written permission from the noncustodial parent; however, not sure what PA law is. Could be Kate made a deal with Jon to not take her to court to stop the twins going. Ordinarily I would think that cruise would be a blast for the girls, but Kate will control everything and the girls won't have the fun they think they will be having, plus being paraded around like dogs.

I rarely have to delete here. All kinds of opinions are allowed. Only when it gets really nasty is it necessary. I've asked people not to immediately assume someone is a "sheeple" and most people don't. Hi Kate is usually used directly to Kate, not to other posters. I haven't seen that in awhile toward a specific poster. IF you have a personal problem with how I run the blog, why not be an adult and email me about it and we can discuss your concerns.

Also please do not paste comments from other blogs here.

I don't care what people say or didn't say on other blogs! I don't care if someone comes here and pretends to love it here then goes somewhere else and says they hate it (not saying this happened, but I don't care). Who CARES? This is not a blog to talk about OTHER BLOGS AND NEVER HAS BEEN. There are some sheeple blogs to do that if you want to go do that. Although last I heard, they are self destructing. Hmm, maybe there's a connection between a blog that just talks about other blogs, and failing.

Any further infighting will be deleted, period. MOVE ON.

I have just been reading some of the crap about NLAN, and I must say that she is not like that.I have always enjoyed her posts and she goes out of her way to make you feel welcome here.

I got upset once and was going to leave and she encouraged me to just stay,it would get better.I lurked here for over a year and got to know peoples' posts, before I ever posted at all.Someone is trying to drag her through the shitpile and it's not fair. Missed your posts lately, though.

That tweeter stuff is crazy -call me old and naive, but I had no idea this level of crazy existed! Kinda scared me the lengths people will go to destroy your good name, which is all we really have here. Are there crazies like these on other's twitter pages, or is it a Kate thing?


All I can say is ,a person's past behavior is indicative of their future behavior.NLAN will be the same this week as she was last week, a caring, insightful intelligent poster.You may all believe what you want, but for me, nothing has changed.Someone is lying about her, why? Attention or just to stir the pot? Smells to me........

Of course I very much appreciate people who keep coming back here, but I could care less what people say elsewhere, what other blogs they visit, whether they want to go play somewhere else. We're adults. Play where you want. Don't play where you don't want. I don't expect ANYONE to be "loyal" here. It's a freaking internet blog. You bring this up again, and you're banned.

Sue, do a search for beach__lover (note, there are TWO underscores, not one). The comments came off and on throughout the day. The main discrepancies are mostly about the end of the marathon, where Kate claimed (and others witnessed) her driving off on a golf cart versus the RW article where she says something about trudging back to the hotel in the crowds. A side-by-side comparison would make for a WONDERFUL new piece for you, dontcha think?

I'll be looking for it. . . .
