Rest in peace, Lorna Tuck Colbert

When your son gives a eulogy like this, you know you've done a good job.



Stephen Colbert's mother had eleven children, mostly boys. When Stephen was 10, his father and two of his brothers were killed in a plane crash. This single mom didn't let tragedy bring her and the rest of the family down. Colbert describes a demonstrative mother who, despite a gaggle of kids, was not afraid to let her hair down around her children. "Hugs never needed a reason in our house," Colbert says. Singing, dancing and even pretending to faint on the kitchen floor were encouraged.

"She was fun," Colbert says. "We were the light of her life, and she let us know it 'til the end."

negative minds believe negative stories

This one made me laugh. It wasn't a negative "story" haha! It was a PHOTO. It's not like someone just SAID oh Kate did this to her eyes and we just jumped to believe it (which by the way, Robert did say. And guess what, without proof, we ignored it! Not a single one of us could even REMEMBER him saying that!)

So, how are all my puppets doing this morning??! Good puppets!

The Supreme Court has said that the parties defending Prop 8 don't have standing. This will pave the way for gay marriages to continue.

I don't intend to start a political debate, however I wanted to point this out because of the standing issue! I don't see how Bullyville even has STANDING to bring all these suits they're talking about. You can't just waltz into court suing people without am actual, direct stake in the case. You must be personally harmed. My guess is any lawyers who looked at their claims were really scratching their heads over the standing problem.

Do Kate and Paula Deen have the same PR person, or do they think that using God in their defense justifies what they did?

Perhaps Kate read what Paula said and wrote her explanation along the same lines...

What's it called where you've just read something and it's fresh in your mind and you don't INTEND to plagiarize or sound like it but you just sort of naturally do because it's in your head? I heard this happens a lot to legitimate song writers who would never dream of consciously plagiarizing someone else's work.

Maybe that's what happened to Kate.

So did Kate get Jon's permission to post that picture of him. Silly woman Kate. Tricks are for kids. Oops!!!

I think they throw in God because these pitiful people really think that somehow if you invoke God then there is no way your behavior could have EVER had any bad intentions, why, because you're Christian and God is on your side.

These people are simply preying, or trying to prey upon, Christians in order to shield themselves, and I find that disgusting. Kate has a long history of preying upon Christians.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

wait remember the other day the HCI rep said they had a frustrating meeting with an author? Then someone saw Kate in the airport? and she was twitter silence.

I WONDER if HCI felt they had to deal with this "scandal" because she's on their team now and they're doing the PR for her book. Since this incident could affect sales it was now their problem.

So HCI maybe penned or edited her statement because she sure didn't.

Maybe the frustration was over what the statement would say. Maybe they wanted her to say sorry and she wouldnt so this was the compromise. Pure speculation but the shoe sure fits.

Remember "All in the Family?" It was a hilarious show, but you can not make a show like that anymore.
_______
Hallelujah, my Ipad can cut and paste on blogger! Praise the Lord--must be all the God talk!

All in the Family is a big reason why that type of show would not be made today. It was very reflective of the times, and exposed the ignorance of the racist, bigoted mind. I think that show made people really think about their own unconscious prejudices, and whether they were warranted.

If a show like that was made today, it wouldn't reflect the current cultural norms. I think a show that does reflect the cultural and political environment of the day, would be similarly entertaining and instructive.

getofftwitter said...

Well, I found one thing in Paula Deens, speech from the today show, which will come to bit her, or have people not believe her. It is when the reporter asked her if she had ever used the "n" word other than, when she got robbed, and she said no. BIG mistake Paula. If it was one time: Freuden slip. The context and situation she was in at the time, to me, sounds like Paula used the "n" word on a regular basis(maybe not in public). She also admitt in other interviews and speechs, she recently did, and before the court, that she had used that word at home, and when she was younger, so now she is saying that this was the first time she has used it? Paula should had said: I have used the "n" word in the past, when I was young, in the region/area I grew up in, it was used a lot, but that was a long time ago. Then she could say that, cause she was so angry that she slipped and used the "n" word. Course, that does not make it right, or an excuse to use it. Paula Deens career is fried. just lurking

Wowser said...

Well...I am sitting here catching up on the blog when I hear in the background on tv on E News "Kate Gosselin has herself in hot water again when a racially ......photo appeared on twitter..." and went on about what happened and her excuse for it. There were some comments about Kate up thread about how she is very passive/aggressive when she jokes around. I think Kate has a mean streak and she disguises it in how she "jokes" with people.

I was watching a YouTube video the other day of the whitewater rafting trip they took during the RV episodes. Kate was clearly pissed at the kids because she said not all of them wanted to go and they all said "yes we did" (which is Kate speak for SHE didn't want to go)...then the guide told them about smile breaks and peeing in the river and Kate said NO! But the guide said YES and the kids went right in to pee...now she's more pissed!! We all know what a shrew she was to the guide and he just kept giving it back to her..

My point...at the end of the raft ride Kate was ready to EXPLODE! You could see her seething. It was bugging the hell out of her that her kids wanted to be with the guide more than her. WATCH her face in the clip when she says to the kids "dinner is less than 4 hours so you better follow me if you want it"...no "thank you to the guide for our adventure" BUT the way she said it and the glee on her face when she said "I knew that would get them going" was almost psychotic. That woman has some inner rage and she does NOT like to lose! That explains her hard-on to get Jon and Robert.


kids first said...

I thought that the photo came out after her meeting. I think the meeting was because of her dismal sales and maybe they were letting her know that it may be cancelled. Of course she never will take No for an answer and was probably difficult to deal with, thus the comment fron an HCI rep about a stressed client.

Ex Nurse said...

For anyone who thinks that Kate has escaped the consequences of her abuse and exploitation of her children:

It must be hell for her that all of that personal information and photos are in the possession of someone who has a pretty sadistic streak (I know that not everyone will agree with this characteristic). Based on the MO of "Katie Deen" and Kate's own reference that someone has unauthorized personal files, there is little doubt that Hoffman and/or Jon (I know that not everyone will agree with this either). Apparently, any time a celebrity is in the news, or discussed on Gosselin related blogs, there will be a surprise posted that shows Kate guilty of the same behavior. I want to believe that Jon is not involved in any of the current releases of information (I do believe that he helped Hoffman get the drives, files, computer--whatever--originally), but really don't know for sure. I want to believe that Jon is staying out of the story, and it does appear that way. I guess I am saying that I wouldn't be surprised at anything any more. Maybe Mady posted it while playing tweenie with Kate. Or, maybe any of the ex-relatives that have been exorcised from their lives submitted it. I am puzzled as to why Hoffman would release under a different name.

Anyway, I have really wandered off here, because my point is that it would be hellish to live in fear of what damning thing will be released to the public next. Not that I feel sorry for her at all--if anyone deserves this, she does. Seems like a pretty fair karmic response to her nasty personality and behaviors. I just think that Hoffman is obsessed with bringing her down, and that is not healthy for anyone.

Interesting take on Paula Deen's interview, by the CEO of a PR firm:

http://www.today.com/entertainment/paula-deens-today-apology-failed-was-bizarre-experts-say-6C10452611

An excerpt:

•Her poor, poor me stance: "She appeared angry at everyone who's been talking or questioning her, and it was almost like she felt she was a victim. The public and corporations wanted her to sincerely, humbly apologize and assume responsibility. Instead she went into a long thing about young African-Americans using the N-word."

Perhaps it is time to let People go - Paula Deen vs James Gandolfini? Of course why am I even surprised.

Ex Nurse said...

Just because someone has an old hard drive, or backup files, doesn't mean that Kate doesn't have them too. Whenever I get a new computer, I always transfer my files over and create a backup on a external drive. And, even if the iphone wasn't available, digital cameras have been around a long time, and easily syncs up to a computer, creating another copy of the picture.

Tucker's Mom said...

Kate labored over the point that her photo was used without permission. I wonder if she asked Jon if it was ok to post his photo?
Kate should have just addressed the FACT that slant eyes can and ARE used in a derogatory fashion, apologize for any offense (who gives a shit if Kate didn't put the photo out there-- it's out there!), explain the benign nature of the photos and be done with it.
Personally, I don't think it was a high crime, but Kate never, ever will recognize the definition of damage control.
It would be so easy to win people over with the right response, but per usual, Kate will right-fight instead of take the high road.

The picture ws released Sunday. It's now Wednesday. Where are all the talk show appearances? Somehow, I get the feeling that nobody really cares what Kate has to say about any of this. They're all done with her and her attitude and her crocodile tears.
If any talk show had asked Kate to come on and explain this, she would have been there in a heartbeat. The fact that there are no talk show appearances is because nobody asked her. NOBODY.
Hmmm, Milo now thinks it's a good idea to call all heters "gators". I'm down with that. In fact, I think we should be called aldergators. Nobody said we can't personalize our imposed nickname. We're aldergators. Alexis would get it--she loves us!

Interesting take on Paula Deen's interview, by the CEO of a PR firm:

http://www.today.com/entertainment/paula-deens-today-apology-failed-was-bizarre-experts-say-6C10452611
An excerpt:
•Her poor, poor me stance: "She appeared angry at everyone who's been talking or questioning her, and it was almost like she felt she was a victim. The public and corporations wanted her to sincerely, humbly apologize and assume responsibility. Instead she went into a long thing about young African-Americans using the N-word."
*****
In a way, I'm glad Deen is taking this approach, because it means she continues to burn bridges, rather than repair them. I don't wish her ill, but I don't want to see her to continue to have a vast public forum for her self-promotion either.

I can't figure out if Deen really doesn't understand why some black people choose to use the "n" word (and thereby redefine it, take ownership of it, etc.) and why it's okay for them to do so. Whereas, it's not okay for a white person (especially a privileged southern white person) to use that same word. Or is she purposely pretending ignorance?

As another example, when I was younger the word "bit**" was considered a very derogatory term to be used in describing a woman. During the 80's and early 90's, I remember many women, including myself, deciding to take ownership of that word. One phrase often used was "You say I'm a b*****, like that's a bad thing." Among my female friends, we would use the word jokingly to each other. We purposely set about turning the original meaning and hurtful intent of that word on its head, within our peer group.

That's why between friends, it can be perfectly fine for one woman to call another a "bit**", yet still not okay for a man to use that same word when describing a woman.

I don't find that concept hard to understand. Taking a word or term that was once used to keep a certain segment of the population down, to demean or dehumanize them -- and purposely co-opting that word, is nothing new. That's why it's okay if black people want to use the "n" word. Because that word was and is still used to "keep them in their place," they can use it as much or as little as they wish. Through years of slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination, unequal treatment - they get to take that word and use it however and whenever they wish.

It only makes my dislike of Paula Deen grow and expand when I hear her cry crocodile tears about how unfair it is that black people can use that word, but not poor ole Paula Deen. It's amazing how she went from "mildly annoying" in my book, to "fairly vile" in one week. Stop your crying Ms. Deen, go enjoy your mountains of money, continue to support the worthless men in your family, and for goodness sakes, drop out of the public eye.

Tucker's Mom said...

I just watched Pauler's Today Show interview.
Ugh, what a train wreck. Part of me feels sorry for her. This reminds me of the "To Big To Fail" notion. Yes, even you Paula Deen, with your veritable empire, can go down. And boy, it's going down fast and hard.
Minutes after the interview this morning, Cesars dropped her. BTW, who the frick knew Pauler had namesake restaurants in Vegas?
I don't know. The whole bit about throwing stones at her head was creepy. Just creepy.
And as sure as I'm typing this, she was lying out her butt about using the N word just once, 30 years ago.
So as much as I'd like to feel some pity for this woman, the blatant lies just throw me.
I think Pauler can make a comeback, but she's got to get real and own her words and deeds.

boo said...

Millicent, I understand what you're saying, but respectfully disagree. The word "bitch" or whatever other word you could pick is just not the same as the n-word. It doesn't have the same history or trigger the same reaction in people and never has. When rappers or or whoever use the n-word, it is still degrading and shouldn't be acceptable. I don't see Jews "owning" the word "kike" or Asians calling themselves Chinks or Gooks or whatever. It's all hateful and unacceptable in my book, and should never be regarded as otherwise just because one segment of a minority group chooses to degrade themselves.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

I don't agree with using those words either, but that's like this whole separate completely different issue. What does Paula think that has to do with what she did? She can't seriously be confused about why this would happen. As Millicent explained this taking back of words has been going on for decades. It is neither here nor there when it comes to Paula's own racism. That's like Kate saying she saw some Asians doing that to their eyes. Okay that may be, but it doesn't make what you did any less egregious.

JoyinVirginia said...

Re Paula Deen, I did not see interview. Did Matt ask anything about deposition subject, like how does Paula justify her brother reportedly showing online pornographic videos to female employees at Bubba Oyster Emporium or whatever it is?

boo said...

Agreed. There is no excuse for anyone using that word. Ever.

Millicent said...

It's okay boo, we can agree to disagree :) I used to be quite shocked when I heard a black person use the "n" word and felt as you did - that it should be erased from all usage. However, because I am white, I accept that it's not for me to say whether a black person can or should use that word, in any fashion they wish. I don't have that right.

Anyway, this certainly has been an interesting discussion. Leave it to JoyinVirginia to lighten the mood by referring to "Pauler" Deen. While there are vocal supporters of Pauler, I think most corporations do not want to be associated with someone who is viewed as racist. That is not the face they want to present to the general public. Ceasars has already dropped her. It's possible that Target may not renew their contract with her either. It's tough economic times out there - businesses cannot afford to drive away customers by offending them.

Layla said...

The Kate fans just love to claim that all the controversies surrounding her are making her more in demand, better liked, and more popular. Wrong! If that were true, then Kate would have her own show. She'd be rolling in sponsorship offers, endorsements, and public appearances. Anyone can see that isn't happening. She's sitting in rural PA, writing a blog once a week. None of the controversy is doing her one bit of good. Her reputation in show business is terrible, and none of this negativity is making it better.
What I don't understand is the fans (and Kate) claiming that Kate can't go back to a "normal" job because it won't allow her to provide for the kids well. They claim she'd have to downsize, and pull the kids out of the school they love. Okay...but how is sitting at home, not working and not making anything, going to allow her to provide for them? Any income, even a mediocre one, is better than no income at all. Kate has enormous expenses, and the money that is going out to pay them is not being replaced. We all pay mortgages, tuitions (I have 2 in college right now), etc, but we work and we replace the money that's being used. She does not. Once the money is spent, it's just gone. So, how is it that sitting at home and doing nothing is a better financial choice than working? How is it possible that she can afford the house and the kids' school without an income, but not with an income? I'm confused, I guess, because their logic makes no sense to me.

While her casual acceptance of racist words and attitudes is stupifying, I am also upset with her acceptance of sexism and sexual
harassment and annoyed at the media for ignoring it.

I agree with whoever said she will defend her brother no matter what, but that does not explain the media dissing 1/2 the population. At
least they got part of our horror (the n word) correct.

I once witnessed an inner city teenager seriously injuring a rival gang member. That does not mean they are allowed to do it to each other, nor does it mean someone like Paula or Kate can harm a gang member teenager because they once saw them do it to each other, so it must be all good.

Extreme example, many will say. But wrong is wrong: as a supposedly intelligent species we should not be doing things that denigrate each other.

Jumping In said...

TMZ is reporting that Walmart has also severed ties with Paula Deen Enterprises. This announcement came after her appearance on the TODAY show this morning.

When given the opportunity to show true remorse, Ms. Deen instead looked for sympathy based on her generational experience. I am the same age, and I have never uttered the "n" word, and never will, there are no excuses...none. Both Paula Deen and Katte Gosselin share the same idea that their contribution to the world of television shoud give them a pass on bad behaviour. Collectively, they can cry a river of tears, but there is no substitute for sincerity, and sadly, neither one of these women seem to possess it.


Children First said...

I wonder if Kate didn't offer an apology because she has no social manners, is just too dumb and can't think that far, or if she were advised not to apologize. Isn't that the first thing any decent human being would do?

Paula looked terrible in the still picture of her interview with Lauer. Where was her glossy, angel white hair/wig? Where were her astonishingly white teeth? She didn't look the least bit pulled together, almost as if she was trying to portray herself as a beaten up "victim" and she was making a false police report. Whoever told her that was a good idea was mistaken, IMO. It only proves to me that she's not what she wants us to think she is. She's a façade.

How about a virtual scenic tour of alligator attractions around the Fourth of July? There is the Alligator River, Gatorama, Alligator Adventure, Gatorland, the Everglades, alligator snapping turtles at Loggerhead Acres Turtle Farm, the list goes on and on! It will be fun to research!

Are we puppets going to Florida in July? Oy. Shouldn't we wait until the fall when we can really enjoy the gator attractions?

Saint Augustine has a wonderful Alligator Farm and Zoological Park with an albino gator.

@S_Ziring @Kateplusmy8 Kate's a very strong & positive mother & I'm betting they'll be fine if she has instilled those qualities in her kids
___________
OMG! I think I finally get it.

This is how they truly see her. "very strong & positive"?

It takes someone with very poor self-esteem, self-worth, self-anything, to see Kate as strong and positive.

Kate has shown herself to be anything BUT strong OR positive, over and over again.

Strong and Positive women don't need unneeded bodyguards/road-managers, their kids to pay the bills, to go on national television crying, fans to feed their ego, to bash their ex of how many years over and over, to hire people to 'out' non-fans, to claim they are 'bullied' when they hear constructive criticism.

Strong and Positive women clean toilets to pay the bills when they have to, grit their teeth during the pass-off of children when they don't get along, sing the praises of the other parent even though they aren't feeling it, travel alone (if they can afford to travel at all), tell anyone maligning ANYONE in their family to KNOCK IT OFF!

Kate is the furthest thing from strong and positive. It takes someone even LESS "strong and positive" than they think Kate is ... to think she is.

Does that make sense? Sounds a little non-nonsensical now that I've typed it out, but I hope you get where I'm going.

The Kate fans just love to claim that all the controversies surrounding her are making her more in demand, better liked, and more popular. Wrong! If that were true, then Kate would have her own show. She'd be rolling in sponsorship offers, endorsements, and public appearances. Anyone can see that isn't happening. She's sitting in rural PA, writing a blog once a week. None of the controversy is doing her one bit of good. Her reputation in show business is terrible, and none of this negativity is making it better.
What I don't understand is the fans (and Kate) claiming that Kate can't go back to a "normal" job because it won't allow her to provide for the kids well. They claim she'd have to downsize, and pull the kids out of the school they love. Okay...but how is sitting at home, not working and not making anything, going to allow her to provide for them? Any income, even a mediocre one, is better than no income at all. Kate has enormous expenses, and the money that is going out to pay them is not being replaced. We all pay mortgages, tuitions (I have 2 in college right now), etc, but we work and we replace the money that's being used. She does not. Once the money is spent, it's just gone. So, how is it that sitting at home and doing nothing is a better financial choice than working? How is it possible that she can afford the house and the kids' school without an income, but not with an income? I'm confused, I guess, because their logic makes no sense to me.

You are right.

Kate's getting no calls unless it something stupid that.

she has done or something boring that she tweeted.

Her show has been off the air for all most 2yrs and the things;

she have tried have been big fat failures. She gotten fired two or more times.

She only got back only TV cause of the kids. And she's not doing anything on her own.

I don't agree with using those words either, but that's like this whole separate completely different issue. What does Paula think that has to do with what she did? She can't seriously be confused about why this would happen. As Millicent explained this taking back of words has been going on for decades. It is neither here nor there when it comes to Paula's own racism. That's like Kate saying she saw some Asians doing that to their eyes. Okay that may be, but it doesn't make what you did any less egregious.

I once witnessed an inner city teenager seriously injuring a rival gang member. That does not mean they are allowed to do it to each other, nor does it mean someone like Paula or Kate can harm a gang member teenager because they once saw them do it to each other, so it must be all good.

Extreme example, many will say. But wrong is wrong: as a supposedly intelligent species we should not be doing things that denigrate each other.

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

I don't understand the relevance of your example. You can't compare what is a crime (seriously injuring someone)to the choice to use a word, however vile. The point that was made was that it is not up to those outside of the group in question to decide what language is or isn't appropriate. It is up to them to establish their own group norms. Use of the "N word" by African Americans will stop when the African American community decides it is not an acceptable norm, not when white folk tell them to stop. Personally, I hope that day comes sooner rather than later, but as a white person it is not my decision to make.

fidosmommy said...

Maybe Kate can go work for Paula in one of her Savannah restaurants. Or maybe the two of them can band together and go on the hunt for their own talk show -- Two Misunderstood Women. They can fight it out there as to which one of them has had it worse.

I wouldn't give you a dollar for either one of their lives.

I'd love to read Dr. Lilian Glass's take on the Pauler interview this morning. I just think she was lying about using the N word once. Matt called her on it and she said her testimony was truthful. Uh, ok, but it doesn't match what she just said.

Melissa NV said...

"...Innocent people say I'm deeply sorry and then just move on quietly."

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Yes, and people have a gut feeling about when an apology is sincere or not. Kate's apology, if she had given one, would have appeared contrived because someone told her it was the right thing to do. Kate doesn't think she does anything wrong, so any apology would come across as not being genuine.

That said, the fact that Kate didn't offer any kind of apology if anyone was offended, while not surprising, is still hard to believe. For any decent person, that should have been foremost in their minds, even before an explanation for the picture was given. She was too concerned about herself and making excuses for the photo than she was about anyone who would have seen that photo and been negatively affected by it.

*****************************************
Yes, yes and yes. It totally reminds me of Kate's damage control tour during "expellgate." Creative wording, deflecting, refusal to take any blame. When all else failed, blame it on Jon. Just two months before, Kate sat on Regis & Kelly and claimed the children didn't want to spend time with their father or stay at his apartment. She said she waited by the phone for their inevitable calls. When two of the children were expelled, Kate immediately blamed it on the kids missing Jon. Pick one, Kate. Did they not want to see him or did they miss him?

I recall when Hugh Grant went on the Tonight show after his uhhh... encounter with a prostitute. Leno asked him "what the hell were you thinking? To which, Grant replied "I think you know in life what's a good thing to do and what's a bad thing, and I did a bad thing...and there you have it." America loved him for that and all was forgiven. All of Kate's damage control tours and that rubbish Paula Deen put out today did nothing to help them. People want the truth and sincere remorse. In Kate's case, the truth in any small amount would have been super. The public was fooled once by J&Ks ' we're just poor church mice, we do it all by ourselves' act. Fool us once, shame on you, fool us again....

When will egotistical celebrities and their long suffering publicists ever get the concept of "I did a bad thing. I'm sorry, I'm working hard to gain your trust again, please forgive me."

Group Norms, the point being made of the examples is just because a group may be doing something improper to other members of the group, doesn't mean it's okay for someone not in that group to do the same. In other words the old, two wrongs don't make a right.

I don't recall any "white folk" telling other cultures what to do or say, rather people were just commenting on whether it's appropriate. However, if anyone is able to tell Paula Deen or Kate what they can do or say when it comes to other cultures, it seems like it should be fair game to have an opinion about what everyone should be able to say, even those of that particular cultural group. Having an opinion whether something is appropriate is not the same as dictating what someone should do.

But, as I said before, none of this is relevant to Paula Deen. I'm not sure why she was even talking about African Americans using the N word, since it has absolutely nothing to do with her using the N word. Other people use the N word and no one said it was okay, but that has nothing to do with her.

Kate absolutely did the same fishing for DWTS and if I'm not mistaken we even did a post on it. There was speculation for YEARS she was going to go on because she couldn't shut up about it.

Fido yes I agree, contrite. Or even innocent in the way Kate is trying to portray herself, innocent as in I sincerely meant no harm. I believe there is a difference between forgetting to clean up the water spilled on the floor and someone trips, and spilling the water, looking at it, and shrugging your shoulders saying whatever it'll just dry or I'll clean it later. Then someoe trips and they look at you. One is sincerely meaning no harm, the other is negligence or even intentional or at least apathetic to someone who might get hurt.

I don't believe most of her bad behavior is sincerely not meant to harm. I think it comes across quite clearly she has a sadistic personality who gets her jollies off hurting others. I believe she IS apathetic to other's pain.

What these lawsuits are are SLAPP lawsuits. This is a lawsuit filed basically to wear you down legally and financially until you cave, even if the lawsuit may be wrong in the first place. It is a nasty technique not condoned by ethical attorneys.

There are a couple ways to deal with a SLAPP like this guy got hit with one. His way to deal with it is to say well I don't have any money so why waste my time and money trying to defend it, go ahead and let it go through. So he defaulted but BV won't collect so he's not really the worse for wear. It's a pointless exercise that only gave BV bragging rights (while as others have said, conveniently leaving out not only that it was a default, but that this really was a SLAPP and that defaulting is a very common way to deal with a SLAPP and make out "on top" even though on paper a default doesn't sound good to the untrained ear.)

His other ways to deal with it could be to hire a lawyer defend it and spend thousands even if you win and then hope when you finally win you can claim attorneys fees, or to settle up front and be out thousands. None of these options are very good but when you look at defaulting it actually would be the better of them for many people.

How in the heck would Milo know if Kate was "asked?" She said she wanted to be on the show and no doubt her people contacted DWTS, put out feelers, and maybe even begged. Oh, that's right. Kate told Milo that just out of the blue she was asked (because she's so popular) and you just know that Milo believes and knows everything about Kate.

Even Katie's scandals are boring and stupid. I'm sure Jon smiled at her being an ass, otherwise, she'd give him a "love tap." I see the gritted teeth smile I'd given her too. And we all know how she demanded he photograph and videotape her. She just thinks she's just the cutest little thing. Vomit.
Too bad he didn't have more of a back bone when she just had to have "one more". He's life would have been so much better. Now 8 children have to be poison by that vile creature and her horrid mental illness. Bad enough she has to completely try and become Bimbo Barbie Kate now on top of it they see mommy dearest making slanty eye poses. Thanks, mom, you're the greatest ... what I won't say.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

That was a great response from Hugh Grant. I've seen other good apologies and they are almost always short, direct, and take full ownership of the situation EVEN IF arguably it wasn't all their fault or wasn't that bad. Just own it, accept it, apologize and then move on.

I don't think Paula said she used it when she was a kid she was asked if she had used the N word before and she said yes of course and she also used it when she was telling a story about being held at gunpoint, and she said she is sure she has used it since that incident.

I just saw this about Paula:

Jackson said also Deen wanted African-American employees to act like slaves for a big wedding she was planning. Deen explained she got the idea from a restaurant where "the whole entire waiter staff was middle-aged black men, and they had on beautiful white jackets with a black bow tie," the National Enquirer reports. The magazine also quoted Deen as saying: “I mean, it was really impressive. That restaurant represented a certain era in America…after the Civil War, during the Civil War, before the Civil War…It was not only black men, it was black women…I would say they were slaves.”

What the heck restaurant is this??? Was it just a coincidence all AA men were working that night? Don't you think people would say something if such a restaurant really existed?

Is proof to me that she has lied all along about how much money she has accumulated and put away and that all her BS about how the media inflated the numbers and she has a purse full of bills was total lies...anyone that lives the lifestyle she has with no job is sitting on enough money to last a LONG time...the only ones who will lose out are the kids cuz she will spend it ALL and NOT on them!!

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Wowser that's exactly right. I think every single person here a couple years back gave her six months before the money ran out and that house was gone. I think almost all of us have been shocked not only is she still living in that house but her lifestyle is essentially the same. She even still goes on trips, keeps up the maintenance on the straw hair and lee press on nails, the kids are still in that expensive school, hardly anything has changed. She has been lying through her teeth about her financial situation and she knew it. In the past 6 months she's stopped mentioning money which tells me someone said she has to cut it out no one is buying what she's selling anymore.

She has every right to sock away every last cent, but it is WRONG to lie about how well settled she is and then take gifts and freebies from the sheeple as she has done all along and continues to do.

Layla said...

The similarities between Paula Deen and Kate are amazing. Both were caught exhibiting racist behavior, and both think they can talk their way out of it. Both refuse to give a sincere apology, and both lie to excuse their actions. But it's the deflection that is mind-boggling. Pauler said, well, African Americans use the N word! like that makes it okay for her to do it. And Kate immediately posts a photo of Jon in the geisha wig (but not pulling his eyes back like Kate did) to put some of the blame on him. Do they really think that if someone else did it, that makes them okay for them to do it?
If kids at school do that to the G kids, and it hurts their feelings, can those kids say that the G kids' mom does it, so it's okay? Does anyone here really think Kate will accept that? Heck no, she'll want heads to roll. So why, if she wouldn't accept that kind of deflection from someone else, does she think it's good enough for her. She'd demand an apology, but she certainly will not apologize for doing the same thing. She'll want consequences, but she doesn't think there should be any consequences for her. All she had to say was, "I apologize if I offended anyone" but she won't. Because she doesn't care whether she hurt or offended anyone. Let's wait just and see what happens when the person(s) hurt or offended is a Gosselin.

Wowser said...

Paula should NOT have said don't throw stones at me. That completely turned it around, as if people who point out racism, sexism, and other terrible behavior, essentially whistleblowers who are standing up for minorities against sometimes horrific opposition, are at fault because they throw stones. She made it seem like this was our fault for being so mean.

That is such a "tune out" statement I'm shocked. How dare she, after what she herself admits she says. She should have said she hopes more people will speak out when they hear or see such things that she did so that her vile behavior would have been stopped much sooner and she wouldn't have to go through 66 years being a miserable nasty bigot.

I agree with you. Jon knew he had done wrong, admitted it, and apologized publicly. Jon not only has talked the talk, but is continuing to walk the walk. He has continued to ignore KK, and is quietly and PRIVATELY being a good father to his children. For me, not only is Jon's record cleared, but I really admire him for loving his children enough to not bash their mother!

I watched Kid Rock on the Today Show last week and he was talking about his concert tour. He keeps the ticket prices low so that the Average Joe can afford to see him play. He said, "I've never made an unhonest dollar off a working man's back".
And of course I thought of Kate and her love offerings and the unimaginable amount of free stuff she's been getting for years, then acts like 'poor me, I have 8 kids!"

FYI said...

Forgot to add two excerpts from the video, which I found on another site.

“I was shocked that she’s had plenty of time to gather herself,” founder and president of The Britto Agency, Marvet Britto said. “Paula Deen was clear in that interview that she had no intention to apologize. In fact, we didn’t hear her apology at all.”

As for that reach across the set to touch Matt Lauer’s leg in an effort to underscore her point? Says body language expert Janine Driver, “I think, at this moment, it was a little contrite, and it was more about her than, ‘Please, anyone I’ve hurt out there, if I’ve hurt you, please, I’m so sorry.’ And we just didn’t see it.”

Ally said...

Regarding Kate's infamous, disrespectful photo. All I have to say is her children have followed in her footsteps. In an episode when the younger kids were starting school, Leah made the same face to the camera. Where did she learn that? Mom maybe? Does Leah understand what she was doing? No. Is it her fault? Of course not. Children follow examples set by their parents. She really does not take any accountability for her actions. Don't make lame excuses. It's derogatory, period. Interesting, this picture shows lack of empathy, but her BS blog about her bonding, loving, hugging and kissing her friends dog because she could empathize with the dog is the most backwards and self serving logic ever.
Always rewriting history...she can't walk barefoot on a carpet because of germs but will kiss a dogs face, who can reach their own butt!!

It was how much Pauler emphasized the rock throwing thing. She went way over the top. Big rock, hit me as hard as you can.
And not for nothing, but it's more than a little sanctimonious, given that no one is going to stone her, yet there have been and are people in the world getting stoned to death. Women accused of cheating without judge or jury, and it is a VIOLENT way to go.
So Pauler, stfu about stoning. You cheapen the lives lost to this barbaric act.

Wowser that's exactly right. I think every single person here a couple years back gave her six months before the money ran out and that house was gone.

Hey, don't forget about me!!! I have always believed Kate has a ton of cash to last her a VERY long time. Her cheapness has paid off. I think she is living off her investments. I don't care if someone wants to do the math and then comes up with some magic numbers which show she will be broke in a year. Her lifestyle still looks good after losing the show. Like Robert says, she is a multimillionaire.

Leah put her fingers up to her eyes to make an Asian face like Kate did in this picture. I remember watching and gasping, then being very embarrassed for those choosing to film it and air it. It was not malicious on Leah's part, obviously. But where would she learn to make these faces? Mom should have explained how they are not nice and can hurt people's feelings.

Ally said...

I have no hard proof. But the info I read in Roberts book and my own gut tell me that TLC purchased her house and she has no mortgage payments. Those of you that read his book, don't you get that impression from her emails between herself and TLC? She demanded they move and made it TLCs problem to fix.

Right. But if you need at least $350,000 a year to support your lifestyle and that of your children, if you have no money coming in, there will come a day of reckoning even if you do have a million or so stashed away..

That's a whole lotta money even with Jon's help.

But this is just a guess.

Typical Kate, ignore and deflect with the promise of things to come. Well if the rumor that she just met with her publisher my guess is that she'll be doing a mini publicity tour or book signings to push the book. Will she be on the major talk shows? Doubtful. She'll get some radio interviews and things like that. My guess is that some interviews have been lined up for her during the book show that she's scheduled to attend.

Preesi used to have the public document of Kate refinancing the house, was it January of 2011 or 2012? I don't remember. But she went from a 10 year to a 30 year, financing $600k- ish.

When was the last time Kate ran in a marathon? How obvious is it that she's not doing them anymore since no one is sponsoring her? I thought marathons were her new-found passion in life?

Does she only suddenly become involved in new things as long as someone else is footing the bill? Sure seems like it to me.

Yes, and I seem to remember that when she was going through the divorce, she was photographed at the copy machine. Someone enlarged the documents she was copying, and the amount of the mortgage was listed. I don't remember how much it was, but $4,000 sticks in my mind.

Oh for god sake. Kate never had a restraining order against Jon! That's all public record, they DO know that right? That's outright libelous. It's a BIG DEAL to have a restraining order and a big deal to accuse someone of having one they don't.

IIRC, there was that matter of Kate coming back to the house on Jon's custody time because she didn't want the Santoro girl there. Kate called the police, who told her she had no say over who was there on Jon's time (or something to that effect.) Not only was there no PFA, the police told Kate to pound sand. Milo is obviously up way past her bedtime. Where's LOM when we need him ;)

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

It occurred to me that just when the stock market was crashing Kate and Jon were hitting their money train. It's hard to believe they played their finances this smart I guess because many people who get rich quick just don't. But I suppose if they hired an advisor who knew what he was doing and left it up to them, they could have done the counterintuitive, though correct thing and just invested in stocks when they're on sale, i.e. the market is crashing. Then later, boom, the market has steadily recovered and the dirt cheap investments have doubled and tripled. All of a sudden the family is set for life. If that happened, and if she's careful to live off just the interest, anything is possible. IF she somehow swung such a miracle it will be the smartest thing she has ever pulled off. Go figure. I think because she's just so dumb in so many areas, (FDR is on Mount Rushmore!) it's so hard to picture her finances being in such good order. There are plenty of well educated, savvy rich people who run out of money sooner than she has. She's one up on them.

That clip was nuts. It's funny to watch Paula Deen act like the right brain ain't connecting to the left, but it's also funny to watch Rachel Ray not be able to control her.

At least she can get through life without offending another race, and she's a dog lover.

I expect that Kate's racially insensitive mocking of Asians whether a "happy memory" or not, will result in a number of emails to The Stir, HCI, Amazon, etc requesting they take action and suspend Kate. I consider her non-apology to make matters worse, it is clear she condones making "slant eyes", all in good fun!

TLC stinks said...

It's Thursday. Time for another bog post. Will she use The Stir to attack as she did with CC?

She is hitting the platitudes hard these days on Twitter. I guess she can't speak for herself.
Here's something I read about the overuse of platitudes:

"The problem with platitudes is that they are simplistic. They appear to be profound, but in reality they are superficial commentary about what may be a serious problem."

Not only are her platitudes superficial but also insulting to those who disagree with her. She doesn't have the literary chops or truth telling skill to explain herself but instead attacks those who call her out.

TLC stinks said...

BTW, if that photo of her was on the marital computer or backed up on disks, it is just as much Jon's picture as it is hers. I will admit I am disappointed that Jon participated in the "joke" so she got me there.

So if they were goofing around in the garage going through fan mail (I supposed ripping open boxes first for goodies), who was watching the kids? The not-a-nanny or were the babies banned to their cribs for hours?

Some poor fan wasted money buying the geisha thing and postage to mail it just to have it most likely tossed in the trash when they were through hee-hawing in the garage.

Since her income has been greatly reduced, do you think she is getting greater financial aid from the kids' school?

Gee, wonder what goodies I'm going to find today!
But amazingly, Kate has never once given gratitude for the gifts that have been given to her over all these years. It's alway more, more, more. Her tank is never full.

She actually had the audacity to say the gifts from fans "often filled the garage of our Elizabethtown home."

That garage was not small! She tries to show off about all the fan gifts and love, but in the process outs herself as a very pampered reality star who at the same time was scamming money out of church goers. She doesn't think and only the six fans feel sorry for her.

I don't understand this either. I've just assumed Jon capitulated to Kate's demands in order to get the hell out.
I know he was spending money right after the divorce (scads of lavish purchases in France, lots of travel for fun and rumors of a condo bought in Utah), but there's nothing now for him?
I know he's working and give him credit for that, I really do. I just don't get the huge chasm in his lifestyle and Kate's.

Sue Buddy said...

Besides Jon spending money like a drunken sailor (no offense to our military!!), he also had to pay $22,000 per month alimony. How long did that last?

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Keep in mind they settled this divorce quick. The divorce was never disputed. I think Jon just wanted out, thought that his other income would be plenty, and let Kate have the bulk of the assets. He didn't count on TLC trying to stop him from doing the high roller jobs like the Super Bowl commercial and it was all downhill from there.

I can't even say he was wrong to settle. Kate's a narcissist and we all know how that will go in court. He'd be fighting her years to get his fair share, it would be hard on his children, and he'd be buried in attorneys fees. At a certain point you have to decide which is more important, the money or your sanity. Especially if you honestly thought you could make money just fine without her pot of gold, I see it.

Of course Kate will never say if Jon was very reasonable in that settlement and let her have everything.

TLC stinks said...

Well, Kate may be a multimillionaire but I bet she gets financial aid from the kids' school. According to their website, even if you make $100K a year. No way she is paying full tuition for all.

As for as Jon's financial situation, it's kinda the opposite when a husband, the breadwinner, carries on just fine but the wife has to lower her lifestyle after a divorce. Kate controlled their finances and I bet Jon wishes he had taken more interest because she made out like a bandit. Lesson for spouse: be involved in your finances. Know where every penny is.

Tucker's Mom said...

In Kate's mind, she deserved everything and Jon was the one stopping the gravy train.
I did forget about TLC blocking Jon's media opportunities but you know, if I were Kate, I'd implore TLC to knock it off because Jon in the poor house is no good for anyone.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

It's not talked about much but I think one of the most evil things she could do was let TLC go after Jon as viciously as they did. Her children's father.

What if you worked for say Walmart or McDonalds and they suddenly went on a witch hunt after your spouse, even if he were your ex? Wouldn't you on principle alone, for the sake of telling your children you do not support that, QUIT? Or at the very least be telling people you think it's awful. Kate condoned it, and that was evil.

Here's another celeb who chooses not to drag her ex through the mud in the papers and doesn't want anyone talking badly about him:
Given her recent comments why she does not want to talk about her pending divorce from British hitmaker Seal, it is not surprising she went the extra mile to hep her daughter sell biscuits.
She told Elle: 'I don’t want to talk positively or negatively about the ups and downs that we had.
'Every couple goes through things. Unfortunately, we’re in the public, so the highs are out there.
'But I don’t think it’s necessary—especially for our children—to have the lows being printed in magazines and talked about.'

It's a very important lesson. I am watching a dear friend get screwed out of the money coming to him because his stepdad controlled everything and blew it all away. His mom said she had no idea. It's very painful for him. Not because he cares about the money he has his own job and life, but because it's distressing to know his mom just wasn't involved and as a result was taken advantage of. She literally hasn't looked at the bank accounts in a decade. Stupid.

Robert keeps posting articles relating to Kate's recent controversy. One of them is an interesting read. It's in PDF format. Robert titled the link:

Saying "I don't see color" is number one on list of Common Racist Attitudes and Behaviors

http://www.stcloudstate.edu/affirmativeaction/resources/insights/pdf/28ToolsChange.pdf


A couple of excerpts:

1. I’m Colorblind. “People are just people; I don’t see color; we’re all just human.” Or “I don’t think of you as Chinese.” Or “We all bleed red when we’re cut.” Or “Character, not color, is what counts with me.”
REALITY CHECK + CONSEQUENCE: Statements like these assume that people of color are just like you, white; that they have the same dreams, standards, problems, and peeves that you do. “Colorblindness” negates the cultural values, norms, expectations and life experiences of people of color. Even if an individual white person could ignore a person’s color, society does not. By saying we are not different, that you don’t see the color, you are also saying you don’t see your whiteness. This denies the people of colors’ experience of racism and your experience of privilege."

Kate said on her website, and tweeted once that she "doesn't see color".


6. Lighten up. (Lighten? Whiten?) “Black people are just too sensitive and thin-skinned.” Or Indians should get a sense of humor. We’re just kidding around.” Or “I didn’t mean anything racist; it’s just a joke.
REALITY CHECK + CONSEQUENCE: Here are racism and agent deletion in partnership again. The problem and perpetrators are exonerated, because the rationale declares that humor isn’t hurtful. This form of denial serves most to trivialize the pain and reality of daily racism.

Kate also said that she and Jon were just "goofing around".

Kate-you just don't get it, and never will.

The first point you elucidated is so important, and it's integral to critical race theory. Of course we see color and to say otherwise is to deny the experiences of other people with color. It is a white construct that passively dismisses other races.
Not that Pauler or Kate will bother to even try to understand this. Putting forth your color blindness is just too easy and simple.
Pauler doesn't see her bodyguard's color, yet remarks he's as dark as the black board behind her.
Duh.
When you say you don't see color, you are assuming that another's race is inherently lesser than yours. We all see color. Maybe an AA or Asian person is pissed that you don't see their color!

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

No a drop off location stipulation is NOT a restraining order. Two separate things. That could be what Milo is getting confused about since I think even Jon himself said it was decided that they would no longer visit or exchange the kids on the property. Things were so contentious then Kate apparently couldn't even handle seeing him at the house. Sad for the kids, but karma is a bitch. Thanks to that, somebody videotaped the kids wailing for daddy. Had Kate simply been reasonable and let him drop the children off at their own front door, we never would hav seen those tears and known that Kate's B.S. about them only wanting to be with her was crap--quite the opposite, they were wailing daddy don't GO.

In contrast a restraining order means if Jon sees Kate at the grocery store he can't even approach her to say hey let me go get Cara's ipod out of the car she left it at my place this weekend. It's public record, unlike a custody order, and would have been free for us all to see and know about. Milo libeled Jon.

First, she says she got it from a "reliable" source. Now she's saying she "assumed" it was fact and will have to get it confirmed. Is she going to ask that same "reliable source" for confirmation?

She's talking in circles, just like Kate does.

Fleecing The Sheeple said...

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

Even with a temporary restraining order, it still has to go before the judge and the person filing has to show that he or she is in danger and fears that abuse is imminent. You just can't file a TRO because you don't want someone on your property because he's bringing his girlfriends there.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Probably came from Deanna, who is utterly clueless herself. She is totally the type to hear the custody order requires pickups and drop offs off site.....,and turn it into a restraining order.

God, do any of them, Milo, Goody, etc. have anything else to do with their time? All day, every day, and there is NOTHING to say, really.

Tucker's Mom said...

Yeah, thanks. I'm scratching my head at how Milo can spew forth these assumptions as fact. It's pure libel if false.
That's just pure evil to put it out there for Kate's kids to read one day, if not right now. It implies their father was a danger to their mother or them. What a horrible thing for a child to wrap their head around.
Be team Kate all you want, but don't libel someone to gain brownie points and try to fool people into thinking you're "in the know". Do you need validation that bad?

Fleecing The Sheeple said...

A fan asked if Kate answers her tweets. She's been communicatin with Milo, who continues her role as Chief Executive Ewe:

Of course Milo knows (when doesn't she KNOW?) that Kate is insanely busy. Is this her excuse for why Kate doesn't respond to Milo's tweets?

So after she deleted the tweet about the restraining order, Milo tweets:

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

She certainly is. Seems like she's joined Goody's ranks...anything to trash Jon. She needs to be careful if she's going to be "assuming" facts. Who is going to confirm this? Deanna...who wouldn't know a TRO from a PDA or custody arrangement if it bit her in the rear end. Oh, wait. I forgot. Milo and Kate do so much communicating in so many other ways, so she'll ask Kate for confirmation that there was a restraining order.

Milo says even if Kate is too insanely busy to respond to tweets, she does read all the tweets. Of course, then, she's seen Milo's tweet that there was a restraining order against Jon, so Kate will set the record straight. Sure she will. If it makes Jon look bad, would Kate bother to respond? She lets Goody go off on her tirades without saying a word.

Did Milo delete her original restraining order tweet? I can't find it.

Fired Up 4 Kate ‏@MiloandJack 32m

@popems42 @summerdowling87 @RealZiggyFlo Hey..I never would want 2tweet or say something deliberately inaccurate! I realize this is serious.

Oops. Way to go, Milo!

Seems like Milo has her foot permanently inserted in her mouth. If she's going to speak on Kate's behalf, she better be careful. She's going to find herself in a heap of trouble one of these days. Does Kate know that Milo has set herself up as Kate's rep? If I were Kate, I'd be ticked off about that, not knowing what kind of info Milo is going to put out there. Milo has just taken it upon herself to be the "go to" person in all things regarding Kate, and one of these days she's going to go too far.

It is indeed serious. I'd go on the record as misunderstanding the situation and apologize and hope my ass doesn't get sued.

I was wondering what she meant by "serious." Serious in the sense that Jon had a restraining order against him, or "serious" because she stated it as fact.

Kate's latest hypocritical b.s. bog is up- and it is a full on, projecting cry for help.

Her 18 year "friend" will be fine, just as long as she does not turn into a Kate Gosselin.

Kate, PLEASE SEE A DOCTOR.

If Kate were any good, she could have kept her Coupon Cabin job. Same with this job. It's nonsense about these being short term gigs. If you are good, they will renew you.

I do kinda miss a nice smack down Scott style like last time. The sheeple can't claim the contract ran out there like they'll be able to this time.

But how do you know if an apology is really sincere? Politicians talk the talk, can be very convincing, maybe even have some good writers who can whip up an apology for them. You just never know.

You can't. You have to just make a judgment call like you would for someone in real life when trying to decide if someone is being sincere. You may get it right and you may not, but usually I think most people have a fairly good sense of what sincerity looks like.

Paula Deen may be as sincere as they come but the body language and words she chose suggest otherwise. There is no question that some celebrity apologies have been far better than others. Kate's and Paula's were bad ones. Hugh Grant's was a good one. David Letterman and Bill Clinton have also given good apologies and the public was willing to forgive and forget.

Maybe the good ones are just good actors, only their hearts know the truth, but I think the point is if you play your cards right and show some humility you can overcome almost anything. But play it smug and offer non-apologies like Kate and Paula and you can only go so long.

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

I think that one of these days she's going to go too far was TODAY!

She libeled Jon! If Milo wants an accurate source, she should contact the police dept. and ask for a copy of the police report (public record) and it will not read what you want it to read, Milo!

They told her Jon could have anyone over on HIS TIME and told kate to POUND SAND! Can you imagine the tongue lashing she gave him when the cops left? Maybe the cops told her to go on her merry way and waited for her to leave and then they left and saved Jon the Wrath of kate. (Sorry, I just can't capitalize kate's name, but Jon's: always!)

When ya'll do the forensic post analysis on the Anonymous posts, you can figure out who it is. You can always tell who I am, because I don't capitalize kate's name! LOL

I couldn't believe what Paula Deen said on the Today Show.

I IS WHAT I IS! That was horrible. It is a punchline to a racist joke! Also, why would she tell the world if they do not sin, to pick up a rock or a boulder and throw it as hard as you can and hit me in the head and kill me. I want to meet you!

I agree with the poster that she hurt real women in countries that are persecuted and are actually stoned to death with rocks and boulders.

Shame on you Paula! You need serious medical, therapy intervention.

Crocodile tears flowed. Ignorance still flowed from Paula's mouth. Her lifestyle is ingrained. She is never going to change.

Her book is now #1 and the remaining tickets for a cruise this year was immediately sold out and the cruise company was overwhelmed with people wanting the tickets, they are booking another cruise next year.

Don't kid yourself. Kate loves having Milo as her spokesperson because Kate can just sit back and let Milo and even Goody say outrageous claims. She wants to look like she is taking the high road but lets others spread dirt.
