Will Tony get another chance to push around the Shopping Kart?

Dancing With the Stars promises a controversial All-Star cast
S.O.S.

And for old time's sake:

Poor Tony.

Thank God Kart has dieted herself to a weight that he can lift.

Anonymous said...

Is there a reason Kate's fans want to see Kate nationally embarrass herself?

At least that's what I would ask if I had fans who wanted me back on the same dance show where I embarrassed the heck out of myself the first time.

But go figure. Hey, maybe they really do see themselves through Kate you know just as mean spirited, just as controlling, just as needy and probably just as uncoordinated as she is.

PatK said...

Seeing that picture and the whole fiasco it represented makes me nauseous.

fidosmommy said...

I've been reading some comment threads about suggestions of stars to include, and the vast majority are hoping for pure talent and hard work this time. Not comic relief, not excuses, just people willing to take it seriously, do the work and provide some amazing dance routines.

Westcoaster said...

It would only be another reason not to watch DWTS, which I don't. But truly, this would only be another one-off for an aging, talentless FORMER reality stah - no career will come from the exposure, there is no TLC to pressure for her perks, so Skeve will be paid from her reserves. Sure, maybe her People pimps would give her some eposure, and we would be groaning for weeks, but the end will still be a return to the abyss of nothingness.

I'm more offended by The Today Show appearance. Ugh.

::shaking head:: I'm so glad I don't have cable anymore.

Twittering And Twattering said...

Kate tweeted...

@lebgirljen DWTS all stars for me? Um... Think you gotta b a star to do it... Lol 14 minutes ago

Katie Cry-duh said...

Kate looks like completely dead weight there.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Yes count my vote that if they can get people to commit, having the best of the best on I think would be awesome. Some of the celebs have been SOOO good, to see people THAT good all compete against each other would raise the bar so high. I may watch this show again.

And yes Kate is playing with words again. She never said oh I'm not going to be on. Just, oh I'm not a star--ho ho ho! Sort of like boob job? Me?

missy said...

Yeah.

Patty Cakes ‏ @TrippenIn
@Kateplusmy8 @lebgirljen Well, should we vote to have you back on DWTS or not ? Do u want to give it another shot?

1m Kate Gosselin ‏ @Kateplusmy8
@TrippenIn @lebgirljen Heck I'd do it again... For my kids! They are glued to every season since mine.. Why not? You only live once!:)

Excuse me while I vomit. (Don't worry, I'm putting myself on the laundry room floor.)

readerlady said...

I checked out the site. I noticed that some past performers aren't listed, including winners Drew Lachey and Evan Lysacek. Strange. I found one mention of KK -- someone posted "Please, God, NOT KATE GOSSELIN!!!!" LOL! It had a couple of likes, too.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Nothing about DWTS was for her kids, gimme a break.

Ava said...

It just goes to show you how desperate Kate is for attention and money. The fact that she would go back on DWTS and completely embarrass herself reveals how truly shameless she is.

I'm getting a migraine just thinking about it. At least it would be a challenge for the designers to try to see if they can come up with even more hideous costumes for her.

Hanna Banana said...

Is their ANYTHING this woman won't do to be noticed? She can't be ignored and will go to extremes to feel recognition.

I know she's got something up her sleeve, but it's great when she is quiet. She's not as smart as she tinks she is with these games.

What next? She's like a bad politician. Will Russia be at fault for her numerous failures next time?

Ava said...

I wonder if ABC or TLC paid the tab for all of the extras she had last time. She's good for a laugh but not that relevant anymore so I wonder if she would be able to pull the same salary and perks. At this point though, I'm sure Kate would do it just to get out of the house and to get to spend time with Steve.

NJGal51 said...

Now that I think about it I have to agree with others on the previous thread that said the DWTS cast will be announced as a group on an ABC show. The same with CA. Cast members for CA are not allowed to say they're on the show until the official cast annou cement is made. It is fun to speculate though. Maybe she will announce that she's going to be the spokesperson for Rock and Roll marathons or that coupon cabin is going to have some sor tof cable access show that she will host.

Pants on Fire said...

Admin 9: speaking of Kate's boob job, she must have forgotten to wear her good bra while filming the Beach Trip episode, cuz she's as flat as her famous Saturday Pancakes.

Jumping In said...

I agree with Gift of Grab, the bitch is back.

Admin, thanks for the picture, it made me realize how much fun we'll have watching Kate being dragged around the dance floor again! She looks like dead weight in that shot, a piece of lumber.

I think we have the answer to the cruise cancellation, the only thing I don't get it is her TODAY show appearance. What does this woman have to offer anyone on any subject? I hope Matt Lauer throws some hard balls this time out, but I doubt it somehow. She has become so irrelevant, what possible questions would he have to ask her in the first place? I do think we will here an exchange something like this: ML: "There is a rumor out there that you may be back on DWTS next season, the All Star season, any truth to that rumor Kate?" KL: "Well, honestly
I would love to go back for my EIGHT kids, to show them that their mommy is not a quitter, and that failure is NOT an option. I also, ummmmm, am a marathon runner now and in better shape, so with the right partner I think, ummm, if they had me back, I would do better, it's all for my kids, everything I do is for them", (wiping a tear from her eye). This interview will be all cat and mouse, they have wind of this rumor and that is why she'll be there. Next stop: People magazine!

My bet is that she will be back. It seems a contrived way for DWTS to get viewers, but they are betting everyone likes watching a train wreck I guess.

chefsummer #Leh said...

God I hope not for my sake and Tony's sake as well.

Westcoaster said...

Oh sure, for her kids, she's probably calculating all the logistics of how long she could be away from home.

Jumping In said...

I swear I wrote my comments on her coming back on DWTS before I saw her "for my kids" tweet. She is just so damn predictable though, isn't she? She's got it in the bag folks. There is absolutely no getting rid of this woman.

Meagler said...

I am beginning to think that Kate is going on the Today Show to promote the DWTS..esp after that last tweet about only living once. Why else would she be on the Today Show.

Perhaps the Cruise cancellation also plays into all of this. She is wwwaaaayyyy too calm right now.

So, its all ok, as long as the kids are not stuck at home being cared for by a Nanny, or at least Jon gets access to the kids on a very regular basis, and perhaps even access onto the compound.

I might even check in to see what kind of fool she makes of herself. or whether she redeems herself and actualy works hard and tries. She has an opportunity here. I hope she will use it to further her career, and then no longer has to make money off of the backs of her kids.

I wish she would have crashed and burn, but that would have hurt the kids too...

Sleepless In Seattle said...

======

There might be some truth in that. At least it would give the kids a break from the witch for awhile, and it would be for the kids.

You should have posted that picture of Kate on the lift...the one where she looks like the donkey on Shrek. That was one of the funniest things ever.

Kate's Going Down said...

This kind of speculation seems a little over the top. Not meant as a criticism, I was just surprised to see a new entry on this.

Does anyone seriously think this will happen? Because I don't. Not for a hot second.

Of course she'd do it if asked. Money, attention, cameras, time away from the orphanage, what's not to like for her? And narcissists do NOT give a shit about being embarrassed. It hardly registers with them. ALL attention is good attention to them.

But the real trick is them asking her. And I think they have an embarrassment of riches from which to choose--they don't have to resort to having an ill-tempered Z-list has-been reality person who has zero redeeming features.

A Pink Straight Jacket For Kate said...

For her kids?

She's a ridiculous fool.

Game over, Kate.

You don't even understand that you are a laughing stock in show business- and an embarrassment to your kids?

Kate is a twit said...

Being that Kate IS discussing the possibility most like means it won't happen and she hasn't been asked. She normally keeps her appearances under wraps to keep her tweeties guessing.

She probably watched DWTS tonight and when she heard the announcement about the All Star show, she just had to go to twitter and see what people were saying.

I for one am surprised that she never made one mention the whole season about Maria M. She was the one who interviewed Kate at the Grove back in January-guess they didn't become "best buds".

And how are her kids "glued to every season", when the show airs at their bedtime?

Kate is a twit said...

Of course, if she isn't selected to be on the show, you know the sheeple will blame it on the haters for causing Kate to miss another "opportunity".

The only reason I would like to see her on the show is just to hear Anderson Cooper's take on it. Now that would be worth it!!

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

What's so funny about when Kate says things like, it's for my kids! It usually means the exactly opposite, this is not for my kids at all this is for my ninth kid and her name is VANITY. DWTS is for her and her alone. It's not like she's spending much of the hundreds of thousands she made last time on them, poor kids don't even get gymnastics and a movie.

Seriously explain to me how DWTS is for your kids. I mean really. Even the other contestants don't usually say things like that. Other than occasionally you'll hear I want to show my kids you can do anything. But they don't say it all the time.

TLC is crap. Period. said...

Could ANYONE explain to me why TLC (or any network for that matter) devotes 30 to 60 min. on a show about Little People buying cowboy boots? Really??

They show this literal crap but cancelled Kate's show? Unbeleivable.

Kate was pretty bad but had SOME entertainment value. This Little Couple show where the entire 'plot' line is based around wallpapering a closet is absolutely ridiculous.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

I added the infamous Shrek picture.

If that alone doesn't tell her not to put herself through this again nothing will.

Kate is a twit said...

Maybe she's going on the Today Show to announce that she will be having a meet and greet for all her fans, not only those that booked the cruise. She'll say how sorry she is to have disappointed so many people and feels that it is the right thing to do.

She has mentioned the cruise on her previous appearances (Dr.Drew, Wendy Williams, etc), I would think the cancellation would be brought up on the Today Show. Which could be another reason that she hasn't addressed it on twitter or anywhere else.

Kate is a twit said...

I just read that Jon is going to be on Inside Edition today(May 16) to discuss his new girlfriend.

I thought the kids were in bed by eight. So which is it? She lets them stay up and watch something she's not even on OR they're in bed. She lied again, either way.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

I think these kids are plopped in front of the T.V. far more than Kate will ever admit. Even on the RV trip Kate's idea of keeping them entertained, contrary to her blog post full of non-T.V. ideas, was to bring along 200 DVDs. Even Hannah said she was bored with watching T.V. Poor kids.

AuntieAnn said...

Oh for sure. Stick a movie in so she can twat for a couple of hours. Cheap, mind-numbing babysitter. Supermom my ass.

ncgirl said...

"Nothing about DWTS was for her kids, gimme a break."

But Admin, she gave the I heart you sign to the kids with her hands on DWTS.

"This Little Couple show where the entire 'plot' line is based around wallpapering a closet is absolutely ridiculous."

The little couple are nice people who actually work. They're down to earth with no drama. I'm surprised they've lasted on TLC this long because they are so nice.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Funny I flipped to the marathon tonight and watched this show for the first time ever. I found the episodes pretty boring--wallpapering, garage floor painting, vacuuming. VACUUMING. REALLY? Really. I don't think either of them are all that funny. They seem in love though, at least they both work real jobs, and at least no kids are being exploited. Yet. I googled what kind of ratings they are getting....in the 1.2 range. Really in the same exact ballpark as what Kate was getting. Which again leads me to believe the cancellation had nothing to do with ratings and everything to do with being sick of HER and unwilling to fight Jon anymore.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Oh one more thing about the Little Couple. I believe they are true dog lovers, unlike Kate. Kate doesn't do the types of things that most dog lovers like myself do. Case in point, the Little Couple who have a dog named Maggie I think, called her Maggie-poo.

Anyone who adds poo to their dog's name is truly a dog lover, it's a fact.

Ugh! Jon! What are you thinking, dude?! Talking on a tabloid show about your CURRENT gf is not wise, my friend.

It will only remind people of that trainwreck relationship you had AND PLAYED OUT on previous tabloid shows.

Grrrr! There goes my last hope of normalcy for these kids.

How is this going to be spun?

I truly hope those kids change their surname when they become of legal age. And not to Krieder either. Something like Clark. With an 'e'.

Tamara said...

Khate saying the kids don't watch a lot of tv is just another one of her technical truths; dvd's aren't tv. I wonder if they still watch old Jon and Khate Plus 8 episodes, or all of the DWTS eps she was on.

clowns scare me said...

I read the Dancing with the stars will be the runner ups.....second place........sorry but the shopping cart WONT be included.......shes DELUSIONAL as usual.......

Oh The Humanity said...

I am of the opinion that she may already know... The tip-off? Her Tweet where she said " I'm pretty sure you have to be a star!" the fake modesty, the coy response- she knows she's on.

gotyournumberKate said...

@TrippenIn @lebgirljen Heck I'd do it again... For my kids! They are glued to every season since mine.. Why not? You only live once!:)

That woman has no respect for anything other than herself. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't "All Stars" stand for the best of the best? When a sports team has an All Stars game you don't see the water boy or the guy who sat on the bench all season playing in the game. Heck ya she'd do it again! She'd do it again because she effin desperate to do anything to get her donkey face back on the tv screen. It doesn't matter to her that she can't dance worth squat or that the people on the show couldn't stand her or that America hated her. All that matters to her is fame and fortune no matter how she has to do it. She thinks she ranks up there with the best of the best and once again will thank her haters for keeping her relevant. What a pathetic existence.

Nothing would shock me for ratings sake but if DWTS put Kate on what they are calling an All Stars show won't that totally diminish the title? People watch All Star shows to see the best not a snotty shopping cart being pushed around.

KAT said...

Kates going on the Today show?????

gotyournumberKate said...

She's already being pushed to be on the All Stars show. According to this article though ABC has already been contacting the people they want back on. Is Kate playing stupid again or haven't they called her?

Pity Party said...

I didn't think she would be at first but when Tom said and even some controversial ones and the expression she will be back. Maybe she won't blow it this time and will actually try to dance. That would be the beginning of a new career for her, without the kids. The kids gotta eat and I think they would be devastated to have to give up their house and pool.

If they don't have Pamela back, I will be upset. I think she would have gone further if she hadn't stayed in character for each dance and had instead danced as Pamela.

I had rather see KT come back than Bristol that is for sure. Talk about riding some one's coat tail she has made a career out of being SP's daughter.

I couldn't believe when I saw it was Maria who got voted off last night. I fell asleep, or something. I thought she was all set to win it. You just never know.

I don't know what she is doing on the Today Show, but I won't be watching to find out. She makes my skin crawl.

Anonymous said...

Perhaps Jon got more custody because Kate plans to stay in CA during her run on DWTS? She's NEVER going away folks!

Pity Party said...

Did anyone see the clip of Cheryl and the hunk? She has the reputation of being mean and they showed clips (last week) of her patting him on the back and saying its okay, smiling up at him, taking the flowers, it was funny. DWTS will make him a star and he may win it, though I am rooting for Driver, now that Maria is gone.

I would like to see her with Louie. He looks really mean and never smiles. All of Max's partners love him because he fights the judges for them. She doesn't deserve him. They will probably give her Tristan who will become her door mat.

________________

I agree, as well with all the speculation that she could be on CA.

To be on either show, she would need to be relevant and have a large audience that will watch and vote.

Do people think she is still relevant and a hot, money-making commodity? I guess so, otherwise there wouldn't be any talk of her being a candidate for either CA or DWTS.

NT said...

One thing I find strange about the Little Couple is their house. It is so huge with 16 ft ceilings (I know they are so high,but exactly how I'm not sure). It just seems strange. And yes,they are now super rich too. Although she is a doctor so she does make good money. I like them.

improbable dream said...

Anyone else besides me entertaining the notion that maybe, just maybe, Kate's going to make an announcement about her relationship with Steve?

Connecting dots...it's possible she's trying to (as HolaisCJ and gosselinbook keep chiding her) "get ahead of the story."

On the other hand, maybe she's just updating her adoring public about the A-MAY-ZING!!!! things going on in her life these days.

Gift of grab said...

Well, if Kate does get asked back on DWTS, at least she is no longer in the catbird seat. I doubt she will be able to negotiate more than the standard appearance fee (it was rumored she made $100K an episode the last time); I doubt she will receive any perks beyond the norm (I believe Steve was paid last time by TLC, so this would mean buh-bye boobyguard); and there will certainly be no guarantee of a minimum of appearances. And I think building her own dance floor in her house would be off the table.

If they really do go mostly for the best of the best, that should mean she'd be out in week 1. Think about it: How many people have you seen on this show who were WORSE than Kate?

Gets a little ridiculous, no? I mean, I love my cat but...really?!
*******************************************
Yep, people really do drug their animals to travel. I'm not sure I will, but I'm thinking about it. You do NOT want to be driving on the interstate when your 100 lb dog freaks out and decides she's done being in the car. Nothing at all ridiculous about it.

wowser said...

if she goes on DWTS again, it will be like watching an episode of the show "JackAss"....the only difference is that the guys on that show INTENTIONALLY wanted to look like jackasses....kate does is naturally!

Mandy said...

Sadly noting that in the picture Admin added when she got pranked by the show and stuck up on the crane, (Judging by the look on her face, it didn't take Tony much to convince her it would be SUCH a great joke to play - which it was; she just didn't realize who the joke was on.) while it's not in the least flattering, she looks a hundred times better there than she does in any picture now even when she's all glammed up. She had some pretty features, as you can see in the top picture, but she destroyed them with all the plastic surgery.

I just don't understand why people do that. Sure, if you've been disfigured in an accident or by a fire, it makes perfect sense, but when someone takes a pretty face and destroys it... Narcissists do really strange things, I guess.

Laurie said...

I think she's going to announce something to do with her new marathonmomma8 handle. She mentioned that it is going to become her email and there's got to be a a reason for that. Maybe Rock and Roll Marathons has hired her to promote them in various venues. She's trying to promote herself as a fitness expert. She wouldn't just drop the kateplusmy8 for no reason because that is her whole identity, but it doesn't seem to be working any more so she's got to try to reinvent herself yet again. If she does the commentary for R&R at the begining and end of the races she won't actually have to run them so it's a win/win for her. However, I don't think she'll get the national exposure that she craves as the spots will only be on local news channels. However, she will get to travel (I think R&R does overseas marathons also).

KCSherri said...

The producers at ABC and DWTS would be making a serious error in judgement if their strategy is to put "controversial" stars in the All-Star cast.

By it's very nature, "All Stars" usually denotes the best of the best...or, in the case of major league baseball, fan favorites. If they choose to put controversial stars on the show to garner ratings, it will most likely backfire on them. The general public wants to see the stars who were cheated out of the championship - or who came in a very close second - or who provided enjoyment in a fun, humorous way, such as Carson Kressley. The general public will be disenfranchised with stars who were awful dancers (I'm looking at you, Kate) or were politically controversial (Bristol Palin). When the public is disenfranchised, they will vote with their remotes - and ABC will lose viewers.

Yes, it was funny to watch Kate make a fool out of herself the first time, but it will be boring to watch her make a fool out of herself again. Similar to a train wreck - you've seen it once; fine - then move on - as it doesn't get any better the second time around.

With all that said...I think she may very well be cast. 90% of the stars - and I'm talking about the REAL stars, not Z-list reality stars - have other projects already lined up and are too busy to commit again to the grueling schedule required by DWTS. However, the Z-list stars - such as Kate, or Audrine Patridge (remember her?) - really have nothing else going on, and so will have the time to be able to be on the show.

I'll be one of the viewers who will turn this season off, if they have Kate or Bristol on. I want to see TRUE talent - the TRUE All Stars.

Just my opinion. YMMV.

It's interesting I think Jon's girlfriend looks like Kate if Kate hadn't ruined herself.

librarylady said...

Of course it's always for the kids (throw in a tear and a sob here) - it's all she thinks has to throw in the ring to try to get attention. No skills, no talent, so what else is a poor mother to do, boo hoo?! Nothing else there.

There wouldn't be a DWTS-related announcement on Today. Probably something with the marathons or whatever she's been hiding with the invisible but obvious Cheshire Cat grin behind her twitter. Plus it's May sweeps. I don't really watch tv anymore and especially Today. I used to like Matt Lauer but can't stand him anymore and have never liked Ann Curry. On the rare occasion I do watch before work it's always GMA.

She is a Cow said...

I am in the camp of Kate will not be on DWTS? I don't believe she was asked, or even knew about the all-star show. I think her appearance on the Today Show will be something to do with Whatever CC was hinting towards, a new partnership with Kate. I don't think she will mention the cruise cancellation, because I do believe it was cancelled because she couldn't get the numbers to make it a worthwhile venture for anyone. She doesn't care if her fans are disappointed. (and I still believe she never wanted to do it in the first place).
I hope I am right, as I agree that nasty, talentless, lazy people should not be given so many opportunities in life, whether they have 8 kids, or not!

KAT said...

Can these two possibly GO AWAY!!!!!! I never witnessed people who are so desperate to stay in the limelight...it's sickening. That Jon is just as bad as she is. I don't believe a word either of them say. They act like theres no life without being famous. Whats the deal with that? This is the reason behind all the hate for both of them. Just let it go....your fighting a losing battle...

chefsummer #Leh said...

I can only see one reason why they would want to have Kate back on DWTS.

Drama between her and Tony

Jumping In said...

Why would the TODAY show drag this woman back on the air again, to fold towels? There has to be something she needs to announce (cruise cancellation) or hint at (DWTS), or a combination of other thoughts listed below.

1. A general catch-up on Kate's news

2. A coy chat WITHOUT confirmation of DWTS confirmation (wrong network)

3. Cruise cancellation

4. Announcement about her relationship with Steve

5. Throw Jon under the bus for being on Inside Edition

We do know there will her hair frying before, and lunch after, and THAT you can take to the bank!

Canuck said...

Gift of grab said...58 Think about it: How many people have you seen on this show who were WORSE than Kate?
*****
Short answer - none were worse. She was lazy. It was obvious she barely tried and then(!) had the nerve to give the stink eye (several times) to the judges when they scored her accordingly. I don't watch every week but I have not seen a single DWTS celeb since Kate act this way. Some of the stars are really quite inspiring - they work so hard and it shows. Kate, as usual, thought she could (snap fingers in air while saying)"win this thing", piece of cake. Blech.

The ONLY reason Kate would be asked back (and she may be...we'll see) is for ridicule factor. She made a fool of herself and would do the same a second time. She is still lazy and entitled, and would not try any harder than she did before. Why her devoted fans would want this for her is beyond me. It will only delay the inevitable - it will not bring her accolades or employment opportunities. It will make her a repeat laughing stock, nothing more. I thought her fans loved her - evidently NOT!

Will be very interesting to see what develops. If her appearance on Today is to announce something, will be a clear revelation as to why she ditched out on cruising with her Tweeties. Of course, they won't see it that way!

LoveMyGrandsons said...

Permanent Name, so sorry about the loss of your pet. We had to make the difficult decision with our beloved german shepard 2 months ago. Still miss him, but it was best for him.

Re: Kate on DWTS. Why do people say this could jump start her career or help her career? I always ask myself what career? She's not an actress, a dancer, a singer, a journalist, or anything. When she was on DWTS last time, what long term goals did she get out of it? Nada, zilch, nothing. Her reality show went on as usual, getting more ridiculous. When it was finally cancelled, her DWTS stint and all her many interviews on TV and in the tabloids did nothing for her. No one was banging down her door to hire except worthless CC. Anyhow, JMO.

This is reality television, not a sports competition. The "best of the best" typically don't compete on all star shows because they no longer need the gig. I watched the Project Runway All Stars and it was a mix of the truly talented from prior seasons *who didn't win* and the weirdest/most controversial contestants. That is the standard formula.

I think her Today show appearance will be about Coupon Cabin or running. And I'm sure she'll manage to get in some digs at Jon.

About DWTS. It will be interesting to see what happens. I don't think they've asked her yet. There's a lot of time still and I'm sure they know that Kate's available. I think her tweeting that is her angling for a spot. I really hope they don't include Kate. Been there done that. It was fun to laugh at her the first time but to have her on again would be just more of the same.

The "best of the best" typically don't compete on all star shows because they no longer need the gig. I watched the Project Runway All Stars and it was a mix of the truly talented from prior seasons *who didn't win* and the weirdest/most controversial contestants. That is the standard formula.


&&&

I agree, like it or not most TV All Star shows involve three groups 1. the best 2. the most memorable and 3. the most controversial (Kate)

Not everyone will watch just to see the best players, some people watch to see their favorite personalities come back. Producers try to satisfy all the viewers with a diverse mix.

Katie Keurig said...

My opinion is Kate is going on Today to lie about the cruise cancellation. To sugar coat the fact that she couldn't get the minimum number of people to sign up. To once again, spin it in her favor. The question is, why the heck does Today want her on? Who is her guardian angel now that TLC is no longer around? I swear I don't get it. She is so universally hated it makes no sense. Just read any article about her rand the comments are always at least 95% against her.

Canuck said...

Of course, there's always the possibility she's trying to get the jump on Jon's book or this "gosselinbook" thing, whatever that's all about. Maybe they're one in the same, who knows. For sure, if she's trying to get a bit of face-time before Jon's book is released, it will be the usual boo-hoo, I've tried so hard to get along, I try so hard to be nice, and he's just not the Jon I once knew. If it's about running, I think the legitimate runners have already dissed her credibility among themselves. I'm sure it will be the usual BS, whatever form it takes. But what a slap in the face to her loving fans if she backed out of the cruise because something better came along! Would be quite typical of her.

I agree with everything you said, except I would add that she's also universally unknown. She's only hated by those very few of us who even know who she is and I'm guessing that's a small percentage. She's been out of work for 9 or 10 months now, hardly high-profile. Overall, I would guess most Americans have no clue who this ridiculous fool is and couldn't care less about her.

******************************

That's why - as always, negative attention for ratings is better than no attention, in their minds.

I don't think having her on Today will exactly be a big draw, though, lol. Probably like the Duggars where they stick them in at a weird time. I think the last time the Duggars were on, maybe a couple of months ago, all it was was a live shot of them pretending to eat breakfast at home. It wasn't even for an actual reason. Just a time filler and some vague exposure.

Probably some marathon thing. She's trying something else.

librarylady said...

Jon's book could be awhile in being published. And if this Gosselin book thing is real, it's likely a self-published. I order books from vendors for a living and there is nothing out there as a pre-pub reference at this time. Usually items show up pretty far ahead of publication.

silimom said...

Has anyone asked Jon if he's connected to this GosselinBook website? Just curious.

chefsummer #Leh said...

Wasn't there news a while back that Coupon Cabin was moving into television? And speculation that Kate would be their spokesperson? Might be what's happening on Today.

I'm guessing Jon's not connected to it - GosselinBook made a mistake awhile back, I think after Kate posted the pic of Aaden reading by the pool. GosselinBook referred to him as Aiden. Doesn't lend much to any credibility or interest factor for me. I frankly don't expect anything when the stopwatch winds down to D-Day in (June, is it?). It's probably just the usual Kate or sheeple BS. Looking for some kind of publicity..."oh no, I have an internet stalker, please feel sorry for me". "And if you have any, please send money to my email address at Kateplusmy8." LOL.

I've honestly wondered why people are talking about that gosselinbook web site so much since it's so obvious no one legitimate has anything to do with it. Sort of like feeding a troll. I'm not going to make a rule we can't talk about it, I just don't see the point in talking about it.

I watched the Project Runway All Stars and it was a mix of the truly talented from prior seasons *who didn't win* and the weirdest/most controversial contestants. That is the standard formula.
------

This is exactly what I'm saying...I used the sports competition only to mention that they have fans vote on their All Stars - thereby denoting "fan favorites". Kate would not be a fan favorite, by any stretch of the imagination.

And, I ALSO pointed out the best - or true stars - don't need the gig. They're busy with the other projects. It will only be the Z-listers who need the gig.

Controversy doesn't always generate ratings. Take at look at this season's "The Biggest Loser" on NBC. The contestants were SO controversial and SO polarizing, that ratings dropped like a bomb. Viewers were turned off by the ugliness and voted with their remotes. THAT is what I'm saying could possibly happen with ABC on this...they assume ratings will go up, when I see the opposite happening. Ratings could very well plummet if viewers are disenfranchised.

In general, I'd have to agree. While I think it's dumb, if he's only talking about what he's doing, then???? If she would keep her trap shut about the kids and stop slamming him publicly like a shrew, then I couldn't really object to her doing so, either. They both might be known only for the kids right now, but he seems to be able to move on without using them for work and she is unable to do so. I think Jon's personality and affable demeanor overall will allow him to legitimately move into some sort of "personality" career on his own merit, whereas she doesn't have that ability.

chefsummer said... 71

I can only see one reason why they would want to have Kate back on DWTS.

Drama between her and Tony

************************************************

Poor Tony. He doesn't deserve Kate twice in a lifeime.

This is a job for Maks. He is the only one qualified to break that donkey down to her knees. He's vicious, demanding, and prickly- much like Kate. Except he's very talented.

I feel bad wishing Maks to be paired up with that harpy. It will be a suicide mission...

Kate's so sick & twisted, she'll probably enjoy the abuse.

It's just a shame that Tony, AND Maks will have to go to therapy after the All Star DWST show.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

It's not my first career choice but I don't have much of an issue with either of them being in the public eye as long as the kids are left out of the equation. That includes no stupid platitudes about how you are frolicking around being famous on DWTS "for your kids." No you are not doing it for your kids so stop pretending.

In the long run it would probably be best for the kids for the entire family to stay quiet and out of the spotlight, but there are a lot of jobs out there that aren't the best situation for kids, be it because of long hours, or dangerous, or embarrassing to kids, etc. I have to admit that sometimes being in the spotlight can end up being pretty flexible for kids. You might get a project for six weeks where you are not around a lot, but then the next two months might be a lot quieter and you get or be a stay at home parent. Parents who work a regular work schedule don't have those periods of time of quiet usually.

Let's see if Kate can go on Today and not mention the kids. I challenge her.

Amy2 said...

I haven't read all the comments yet so sorry if this has been mentioned.

If the speculation is true about Kate being on DWTS, here are my thoughts. Kate does not deserve to get any freebie job handed to her. On the otherhand as long as it does not involve the kids so be it. And as a bonus, if she is on DWTS I get to watch her make a fool of herself once again! Hope she gets Maks. He does not suffer fools (lazy axx partners) well.

Aeduko said...

Wouldn't she need a dance partner to be on the all stars? Do the professional dancers get to say "hell no" when asked about a partner? I don't watch the show so I don't know. Bet Stacy Kiebler's on it, though. :)

Admin, as far as dogs go (and I know you're a fan), what about Ashleigh and Pudsey? They just won Britain's Got Talent, and if you search for ashleigh and pudsey on youtube, they come right up. Technically, Pudsey's a child worker . . . he's only 6 and Ashleigh's 16 so they're child "actors". It's been a very stressful few days here and those two are so fun to watch. (Whether they deserved to win over Jonathan and Charlotte's another question.)

PatK said...

My gut feeling about The Today Show is that she's just another guest. They have to come up with guests five days a week, right? I don't think there's any big announcement--just a "catching up" type of interview. How are the kids; marathon running; Coupon Cabin gig. MAYBE a mention about the cruise, but since it would make her look bad, I doubt it. If she's lucky, they'll give her the opportunity to get a Jon slam in.

I expect this to be the boring same old thing. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Jumping In said...

We can always take side bets on how many "uums" she will stick in between her vapid comments. And, do word counts on her old standards, "honestly", "peace", and of course her favorite number, "8"!

*******************

Your original post talked about what "will" happen not what "might" happen: "The general public will be disenfranchised with stars who were awful dancers (I'm looking at you, Kate) or were politically controversial (Bristol Palin). When the public is disenfranchised, they will vote with their remotes - and ABC will lose viewers."

There is plenty of precedent supporting the notion that controversy breeds ratings, but obviously I can't predict the future and neither can you. We'll know who is correct once the show airs.

Permanent Name said...

Ms. Malaprop,

Good thing to try ahead of time. We learned the hard way when we used the acepromazine without checking a few days ahead and thought we'd put our Sparky into a coma.

Humourous now, but not funny at the time. We actually stopped at a big town about 100 miles into the trip to have a vet check him.

We carried in this limp, drooling, tongue-lolling dachshund into the vet's office and the receptionist took us immediately back to the treatment room. Much hustle and bustle then the vet said "um, did you give him acepromazine?"

"Why yes we did! Thinking how smart and observant this vet was, we were shocked to hear him tell us "well, it has knocked your dog out for about 12 hours".

DH said 'good, we have an 8 hour drive to go' and I said 'my god, have we killed our dog??!!'

Needless to say, about $100 poorer, we packed everyone back into the car and DH and I argued for the next 200 miles. Sparky slept peacefully, albeit, droolingly in the back seat.

That dog probably thought he'd had the best trip... stoner dog, we called him! LOL

For some reason "our" dogs have always had bad or paradoxic reactions to meds. Characteristic of dachshunds? I don't know, but when a vet suggests medication, we stop the presses and start asking questions!

I know some dogs travel very well without any help...

Anyway, enjoy your vacation - I know the dogs will too! Dogs like the beach just like humans do - it always makes me smile to see dogs running on the sand at the water's edge... such pure freedom and fun..................

Actually, I may just suggest to DH that we head down to the Carolina beaches - I need some respite from crying. Who can cry on the beaches, right?

Kate is Krazy said...

Today Show? uh-h, I think that means she has a chance at DWTS. She has no shame. Tweeted she would do it 'for the kids' Right. Not the pay check? She herself has said she can't dance. Why do people keep letting her back,no talent or charm ????????

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

The Biggest Loser thing is really the exception to the rule. I don't know why that controversy turned people off, because other Biggest Loser controversies have had the opposite effect, but the general rule for reality shows is a healthy amount of controversy will help a show's ratings. You can find exceptions to everything.

I agree. I think that date's going to come and go and nothing will happen. The person doing this is going to sit back, have a good laugh over it, and then move on to something else for attention.

The thing is, though, according to ROL that website was started more than a year ago. Isn't that a long time to concoct a plan just for personal amusement? It's hard to tell what goes through these people's heads.

honkytonklady said...

As some have stated previously, I think her appearance on the Today Show is ho-hum. Nothing new, just a what's up kind of interview. If there was something, wouldn't she be on The View or Live with Kelly or something, actively promoting it?

As for DWTS, I agree, now that her work ethic has been exposed from her previous stint, I find it almost impossible that any dancer would want to be her partner. IMO they won't ask her.

Tamara said...

I don't watch DWTS so maybe the viewers here can answer this. Were there any dancers that everyone thought would win and didn't? Or a time when the judges decision was controversial? Or the dancers complained that there was favouratism, cheating etc? That could be the controversy...

Tamara 109 - To answer your question, yes, and that is why they instituted the dance off where the judges make the final decision. They said it was because some excellent dancers were leaving too soon, now the bottom two have a dance off and the judges make the final call on who goes home.

I was thinking that maybe Kate got called to be on the Today Show because some guest had to cancel. Maybe she was the 10th person they called. They have to fill airtime somehow. Who knows?

PermName (104) -
You crack me up! And I love your honesty. My husband and I probably would have argued over that too. I have to say that a sleeping dog for all those miles wouldn't be a bad thing as long as he came out of it. :) I can't wait to see how our dogs do at the beach. We used to have a Lab, and she would dive under the waves. She loved the water! Since our kids are 10, 14, & 19 there will be plenty of people to keep an eye on the K9s. And yes, you're right - there's no crying at the beach allowed. (But if you really need to, that's ok.)

silimom said...

Admin, I think people talk about the book because there is a desire for some to see Kate suffer, to see her called out on all her bs, to see her stripped of everything she holds dear - her house, her cars, her "career", etc. I think it's a desire for retribution for those who had their own experiences with narcissists, whether as children or adults.

I'm not saying that's right or wrong, it just is.

I also think there are those (and I identify with this group) who enjoy gossiping. I think we all know a Kate in our social circle, whether it's via work, church, our kids' schools, what have you. It's the person you hear about or see via those avenues that you shake your head at, roll your eyes and say "Now what has she done? She's saying what? Her poor (husband, kids)." She is on your periphery but not someone you're particularly close to but whose antics provide a type of voyueristic entertainment.

Just my opinion. And now I am off to buy local bee honey in an attempt to help my daughter build up an
allergy immunity to the local pollens as opposed to getting allergy shots. Not sure if it will work but figured it wouldn't hurt to try.

Ms Kreider will not be on dwts, if the backstage staff have any say. my opinion is that Ms Kreider was so difficult for the makeup, hair, and costume folks to work with that producers would not have her back. Any today show interview will involve something on NBC or a network or company allied with NBC in some way.
I think we are more likely to see someone like Bristol palin, who did make it to final 4 our so her season because she did work hard once she had the chance. There have been a few other political figures on in the past like tom delay, since the elections are coming up this fall, having a few political connections would make sense.

Someone up-thread mentioned, "staying ahead of the story". Does anyone think her scheduled appearance on the Today show has anything to do with the Gosselin Book tweets? It's a long shot I know but it has crossed my mind.

I wonder if her numerous(?) fans will rally and hold demonstrations demanding she be included in the DWTS All-Star season.

I was disappointed to hear than Jon is doing the celebrity entertainment interview. I truly thought he was the one parent who has his head on straight.

Kate's Going Down said...

I have to agree that the Today show thing is just using her as filler. Has anyone looked at who they have on lately? They're getting kookier and kookier.

My prediction is her spot will be absurdly short, shorter than that Dr. Drew thing months ago. And it'll be a big load of nothing.

And if I were her, I'd bristle at being asked about my ex-husband years after the divorce. It's like there's not much else to ask her about. But of course she loves it when that happens, because she can sigh, suck her teeth, roll her eyes and utter some gloriously aggressive slam against him. Poke eyes with tissue, make sad face, sigh, look pitiful, repeat.

And good point to whomever asked "WHAT career???" She has no career.

Laurie said...

Although Kate does have her lovers and haters she's been off the radar too long and those twitiodits won't do much for the ratings of DWTS or any other show. People will watch or they won't but Kate is far past her time of pulling in the ratings or getting the votes. The judges were kind to her with their scores when she was originally on the show but I don't think that will be the case if she's on again. I'd like to see her on it just to see her voted off on the first week. I really think that she was guaranteed a certain number of weeks originally which is why she lasted so long.

There is nothing wrong with giving an interview, unless of course you have claimed that you want to be an average guy out of the spotlight and have proclaimed you are doing your last interview several interviews ago, in which case you look rather silly.

Also, neither show is announcing their upcoming casts yet, so why would they allow her to go blab before making the big announcement themselves? That would be pretty stupid of them.
It's going to be another "catch up" show, and she's going to talk about the kids and cry about money and maybe talk a bit about CC and running. Snore!
Bet she saw that Jon will be on TV tonight, and she went ballistic trying to find someone who would book her. Can't let him beat her!

---------------------
That is so funny.....not ha ha funny, panic funny... because I did the same thing. My dog of 16yr's had to have something done and I asked the vet if she could have something to keep her calm when we got home. When I got home I gave her the max. allowed and a few minutes later her eyes were glazed over. It terrified me so bad to see her like that.

I called the vet and told them her symptoms. Like you I thought I had almost killed her. They told me that she was just "feeling good" and that she would be fine. Relief turned into major crying as I yelled to the nurse, not at just to her, I'm never going to do that again. I totally know the fear that you felt. I have never had children so she was my baby.

Mrs. Malaprop, my heaart and prayers for your comfort are with you. I lost my dad in March of 2008, had to put my girl of 16 yrs down three months later in june, and my little boy Shadow, who I got the day my girl left me, was run over six months later in Dec. I now have my two boys Buddy and Sugar Bear, who I got the next day after my boy died.

I totally believe things happen for a reason, though at the time, I could see no reason for his death. The HOLE that I felt in the pit of my stomach and the sick feeling of emptiness and loneliness I thought would never subside. It did though, and I was able to see a little clearer to look for the reason.

My mom lost my sister in a bathtub drowning at ten months. She had issues with drugs all my life because of it and all six of us..sibs..had issues while we were growing up. I had always thought that my mom was weak because of her addiction and not being able to "kick it". But when I lost my boy Shadow, I saw how strong mom really is. She never left us and she raised all six of us alone to the best of her ability. My dad left us.

It was hard enough for me to overcome my emptiness, I can only imagine what her pain and guilt was having lost someone she carried inside her. Again I say, she never left us. When I thought of what she must of felt, I found my lesson. I was able to let go and see her for her strengths and not her weaknesses and my heart was able to heal.

I guess, for me, learning something is the only way I can make sense of such painful and difficult times we all have to go through.

They're probably waving because they know who you are. OR maybe they're waving for you to slow the hell down.

P.S. You won't win DWTS. Get over yourself.

Buddy said...

Honestly, (haha . . . who does that sound like) I think Jon realizes that the only way to support his 8 children in a manner to which they are accustomed and in order to keep them in their current house, he needs to do something in the entertainment field. He is doing exactly what Kate is doing. Neither one of them want their kids to lose the house or the lifestyle.

Buddy said...

This whole thing is getting pretty entertaining. I don't think anyone works as hard as Kate Gosselin does at getting back on television. I honestly think she busts her butt everyday with her contacts, etc., trying to find some way back in the spotlight, whether it be on a morning talk show, or on ROL, or INF, etc. She is like a dog with a bone and I believe it when she says that the haters motivate her. I can see it the "in your face" tweets that she sends out to haters every so often.

Kate is a twit said...

I still don't understand how her deal with CC works. Again she has a post on her website:

"If your family is anything like mine, your kids quickly run out of ideas of things to do during the summer. Don’t spend a fortune on summer activities to keep them entertained! Just check out my latest blog on CouponCabin.com for cheap ideas for summer fun. Make sure to see below for some great offers for kid-friendly fun!

Why aren't these offers part of her CC blog? Does CC think that Kate's website will get more hits, and thus has her post the coupons there? To quote Kate, "I just don't get it".

silimom said...

Okay if she only showers once a week, no wonder no
man wants to be with her. Ick.

Re: Jon's interview - any idea why he's being interviewed? Yes, I agree it's rather silly for him to have proclaimed a year ago he wanted to be a private citizen and now he's promoting himself, but to each their own. People can change their minds and, just like Kate, as long as he's not doing it on the backs of his kids, that's his choice to make. It's no sillier than Kate being on Today to talk about nothing.

I disagree that Kate would not bring in viewers. Her fans and haters would tune in as would those same people who watched her show for the "car wreck/rubber necking" factor.

Once a Viewer said...

I glanced at an article about the all-star DWTS and many comments said people would not watch it or future DWTS seasons if Kate was on this. I hope PR/casting pays attention!

Creepy about meeting the Polish fan. Talk about a dumb thing to do. Dangerous.

Slow down there sweetie. When they raise their arm and extend the middle finger...that's not exactly waving.

Gift of grab said...

So I guess "deannatweeting" tweeting up a storm last week for three days was intended as a diversion from the Kate cruise-cancellation news. She faded quietly away from Kate's feed and has not been back in several days.

BTW, NO ONE on the cruise has said that Kate called them personally. She must have e-mailed everyone.

Notice she never told Milo to come on over, but she says she'll meet a stranger in NYC! Too funny!

Remember that sheeple who tweeted something like, "Who cares if Kate got speeding tickets?" The one who had nine people going on the cruise? I got slammed by a speeder who couldn't slow down in a construction zone during a heavy downpour. I just thank the Good Lord that no kids were with me and I was alone. I'm also thankful that I wasn't in the "little" car, or I wouldn't be here. The big SUV, built like a tank, saved my life.

So -- to the sheeple who doesn't care about speeding tickets, wake up! Those being hit certainly care, their families care, and you should, too.

No one is interested in seeing Kate come back on the All Star DWTS show. Check out all the comments:

Kate wasn't all about cheap summer entertainment last year. Last year it was how great it is to have once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, about how much her kids love to travel. And also about how, "We do things regardless we are being filmed or not we don't do anything different."

If this were true they would be going to BHI, Florida, a zoo or whatever by now. But she's got nothing and everybody knows it. Things haven't changed, Kate? Right.

Shameful Sheeple said...

“We joke a lot about how dumb the sheeple are, how obsessed over Kate, and how much in love they are with her (Milo), but I think the internet sleuth is beyond that, to the point of actually being dangerous.”

Fleecing, I am aware of at least 2 non fans that have lost their long term jobs due to 2 different sheeple contacting their employers (For the record, Milo was NOT involved). Have they no shame?

Sherry Baby - Glad you're ok!

@ashymama2 @kateplusmy8 Kate is lovely. I teach my kinders that if you don't have nice things to say.. Hush! U must have missed that lesson.

I guess this one missed lovely Kate throwing Jon under the bus, going off on Em Tanner, and Twitter sparring with Dillon.

Call Me Crazy said...

Kate is probably appearing on the Today Show as a "public service" to warn others about cyber stalkers and haters. She will snivel and sniff about how terrified she is for herself (and, oh yeah, for her 8, count 'em 8, kids), and that she needs her bodyguard (i.e., purse carrier/gopher/yes man) at her side constantly to protect her precious self.

She will conveniently forget to mention that she broadcasts every tiny detail of her boring, mundane life on Twitter.

I really hope that she doesn't slither her way back onto DWTS. Oh wait, slithering is rather graceful, isn't it? Scratch that. I really hope she doesn't stomp and clomp her way back onto DWTS. What Pro would agree to partner with her? I'm hoping the possible "controversial" participants would be Steve-O, The Situation, Chaz Bono, or Bristol Palin (at least she looked like she was trying to learn).

whistlingdixiee said...

As a longtime DWTS viewer, I think Kate will be on the All Stars show. Not for long, and only to be shown as the worst of the worst...how pathetic. If she had any pride, she wouldn't do it. But as a raging narcissist, she will be there with bells on. She won't realize that we are all LAUGHING AT HER!! According to Radar Online, contracts are being drawn up now to cast the show. Kate must know if she is being considered. So, let her be on the show. Predictably she will become, once again, the LAUGHING STOCK of America for a few weeks. Not as in laughing with her, we will be laughing AT her. There is a BIG difference, Kate.

As for Jon promoting himself publicly on Inside Edition or any media outlet, it doesn't surprise me. Kate and Jon are cut from the same cloth, hence the reality show fiasco that they both recklessly pursued with $$$$ signs in their eyes. Although Jon is the lesser of two evils, he was forced into humility,IMO.

There is nothing wrong with giving an interview, unless of course you have claimed that you want to be an average guy out of the spotlight and have proclaimed you are doing your last interview several interviews ago, in which case you look rather silly.
_______________________________________________

Unless of course, you're Jon. Give it up babe. Get some original material.

**********************

Huh? If you're Jon Gosselin, you are exempted from looking silly for doing something you claimed you were never going to do again? If you make a big deal out of wanting to be out of the spotlight and give your "last" interview, when you do the opposite you look silly. I would feel the same way if it were Kate Gossselin or Joe Schmoe from XYZ Reality Show.

As for Kate- she wouldn't recognise a good decision if it stared her right in the face.

Anyway, with Skeevie in the middle, no mediocre fan will be allowed to touch her.

The UPS man in the big brown truck waves at me every time we pass. Hmmmm. What does it all mean?

ncgirl said...

I don't care if Jon tries to do things in the media, but he shouldn't have the girlfriend involved in interviews. How long have they actually been together? One thing people get him for is his girlfriends. If he still has the PR people, I can't believe they would allow this. It also makes the girlfriend look like she wants publicity even if she really doesn't.

Anonymous said...

OMG that pic of her beside Donkey almost made me wet my pants.

Angie said...

Nope Kate is not going to bring in viewers plus Kim Kardashian's people want her included in the show. Not only that but the most controversial were not just Kate, every year there were really great dancers who made it into the top 3.

Kate may be asked to sign on, but no way that she will get anything like before: big money, dancing in her basement, first class everything, swag for her and Steve. No way. If she gets on the show it will be to laugh her off the first week. Some really good dancers were in the top 10 over the years who didn't have a fan base, remember? I know that Ozbourne kid will be back, she has a lot of pull in that industry and is popular. Look at all the dancers who went on to become bigger celebrities or got their popularity back. Kate was not one of them.

Kate created viewers every week and laughs; but this time? Who would even want to dance with her. Not Tony or Max, that just would not work.

If Kate is happy it is because she gets to appear on TV one more time with The Today Show, but Matt is not exactly the person to interview her with a soft interview. That would be Ann Curry.

But if Kate is on DWTS, her nerves would once again take over no matter what she thinks. She cannot do anything unless she is being treated like a Diva and this time, she would not be a Diva on the show. Plus don't you think the Pro dancers would object after the way Kate treated Tony and the rest of the production crew? I do.

Jane said...

From Radar re DWTS:

Past contestants from Kate Gosselin, Bristol Palin, Drew Lachey, Shawn Johnson to Apollo Ono are all in the running to be returning to the ballroom.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

I also laughed at Kate acting all baffled that the bus drivers wave to her. Um, they're trying to be FRIENDLY! That's what people DO in a neighborhood, they wave, smile, and are kind. Hi Kate.

My mailman always gives me a big wave and smile even though my dog is less than kind to him. I find nothing bizarre about it. I think it's nice.

Once a Viewer said...

Sherry Baby: So glad you are alright. I always give a sigh of relief after safely parking in my driveway.

Mrs. Malaprop: Sorry for your loss. I'm sure you're devastated.

Yeah, Kate doesn't 'get' friendly- or she was being all self-important again.

Spring Has Sprung said...

Jon and Liz on Inside Edition. No Kate bashing. No talk of the kids, other than they get along with her three children. She met Kate. No problems. He didn't mention Kate at all. Too early for marriage. He's having a hard time financially, but he's learning to be patient.
That's it. No big reveal.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

She met Kate, that's good. Progress. I think for both parents whenever they are in a relationship it helps the children tremendously to feel like the other parent is supportive.

I think if Kate honestly had a real issue with her, she wouldn't be able to contain herself. But she's never said anything about this.

This is basically a transcript of Jon's interview:

Oops. Forgot to mention. Jon did say that he never cheated on Kate. This came up when he was asked about the rumor of him seeing the nanny.

NJGal51 said...

My quote of the day....if you're owned by an English Bulldog there will be kibble all over the floor when he's done eating because he's a sloppy eater and I don't have an 8 year old helping with the feeding.

Kate, I hope that you transfer that 50 pound bag of food to a smaller more manageable container if you expect the kids to help. Ours is transferred to a container in the garage and then to a smaller container that we keep on the counter in the kitchen with a cup to measure out his portions. We don't just pour and feed.

That being said, an 8 year old really should be able to feed the dog without making a mess. They're not toddlers or pre-schoolers any more Kate and when you say things like this because it seems like a cute twitter episode just makes you look stupid.

Does anyone know what this tweet and the other one where she claimed to wave at ALL runners and walkers was about? The way it looks is that someone twatted that they waved to her and she ignored them. And she's vehemently trying to deny it. Between that and willingly offering to meet a Polish twatter in NYC.... it seems like Kartie is trying to dispell the ice bitch from hell title she so richly deserves and has "worked hard" to earn. Maybe only having 20-30 people sign up for a nationally advertised cruise (when real celeb cruises get 100s & 100s) was a big slap on Kate's leathery, botoxed Juvederm face.

Tamara said...

What the heck was the point of the JonNLiz interview? What are they promoting? And why was it both of them? If they were talking about visitation and custody that does involve a part of his children's lives that should be private. He needs to just button his lips on that subject. I think he is too immature and too easily led astray, especially by women.

I can't say I'm surprised. He did not leave tv by choice. He left because he was forced too by the law. All that rubbish of 'last interview ever' and just a regular guy was just for the moment.

Kate is Krazy said...

she's trying to take the moral high ground, being friendly to all.

that's kind of rude re: kids helping with shoka!
way to promote self-esteem,kate!

LoveMyGrandsons said...

Tamara, I agree with you and other posters who wondered what the point was of Jon's interview. I've always supported Jon and agree he has the right to do interviews, but does that mean he should? I don't think so. ?After just ending a long standing relationship with Ellen, why go on TV to talk about your new girlfriend? Better yet, why go on at all? Unless of course he was getting paid for it and the he thought the money would help.

It's just that he has said so many times that he wants a private life and he will not give anymore interviews, then he goes on TV with his new girlfriend. Why? What was the purpose? I guess I just don't understand the need to broadcast on national television every issue in your personal life.

Ava said...

I think Jon is trying to do the best that he can. He's come to realize that exposing the kids is not the right thing to do. And I really think he would be happy to be a "regular" person if he could make money doing it. I think he got used to a certain lifestyle and is dealing with Kate who has more than he does. So when these interviews come along, I'm sure he looks at it as easy money. He doesn't disclose a lot about the kids so while it does seem a bit tacky and hypocritical, I think in the end, he's just trying to create a better life for himself and the kids. He's still the far better parent. He actually works and tries to protect the kids. He's not living an extravagent lifestyle off of the kids money and is not exploiting them so...Kate uses those poor kids for anything and everything she can.

Wowser said...

Can someone tell me when Kate is suppose to be on the today show?

ncgirl said...

I read the inside edition article. The girlfriend does say she doesn't want a reality show. I wish her and Jon the best. I hope Jon finds opportunities to help his financial situation. It can't be easy dealing with a rich, mean ex spouse.

With the waving, I think Kate was making a lame joke about being a fellow school bus driver.

Summerwind said...

My quote of the day 'I guess if u ask an 8 yr old 4 help,you'll get an 8 yr old kind of help'(re :dog food all over floor after dog is fed)!

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

Tell me she really didn't tweet that. What in the heck is wrong with her? A child tries to help. You teach the child how to scoop out the dog food. You don't make a snotty (yes, snotty) remark on Twitter. If you don't like the way an eight-year-old helps you, then do it yourself. You're home all day. You certainly can feed the dog.
She's disgusting.
