We all worked on 'the career.' As if it were a totally separate entity in the room.

Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work is full of all kinds of layers and insight into the world of celebrity, women entertainers, groundbreaking comedy, workaholics, and the self-absorbed. One of those layers is Joan's only child, daughter Melissa, a celebrity now in her own right and every bit as sharp as her mother. This is a serious profile of someone who spent her life trying to be anything but.

If you watch this for anything, check out Melissa's thoughts on being raised by one of the most famous female celebrities to ever live.


"This business, you are mud your whole life," Joan explains when she talks about decades of rejection. And one of her funniest, oldest jokes about men and valuing a woman's intelligence: "No man ever put his hand up a woman's dress looking for a library card." Lol.

Thanks for your candor and rest in peace, Joan Rivers.

I don't see the drama in having a gallon of water spill on the floor. Use towels to get most of it out and then put a fan over the spot. It will be dry in a day or two no big deal. It may be annoying but many things in life are. You deal with it and move on.

I have had companies work hard to resolve issues and I am a memoir or person. You call the number, or take it for repair. Once, apple fixed my computer for free even though the water damage was my fault because I set the laptop on a counter with some condensation on it. The water came into one small corner, and shorted the logic board. I did not ask for this special treatment but I am a long time customer so they offered the one time repair for free. I was not expecting it but it made my day.

She can't help it that her eye isn't perfect...she had nothing to do with that. It's a physical defect,

You're right people are born with it however.

With all the surgery she had done to her face-(If she wanted to)- she could've her eyelid corrected with eyelid surgery or wear corrective lense.

chefsummer #Leh said...

I think Kate just say what she wants because. She knows knows that one is going to call her on it soooo why not she what she pleases?

chefsummer #Leh said...

What KK probably has is called Ptosis aka droopy eyelid it's and eye condition.

Tucker's Mom said...

A company reaching out to Kate's pathetic tweet isn't a "start". A start is picking up the phone and calling customer service.
It's mind boggling, really.
Obviously, Kate wanted to get a free replacement and not parts that she has to figure out how to install.
I found Kate's comment about hoping a bucket holds water to be so passive aggressive and ungrateful.
It's just like her "you're not welcome" quip to her kids for getting puppies.
Kate's not happy and she's not going to shut up until the whole world knows it.

FlimsyFlamsy said...

I don't think it's some mental shortcoming or glitch that keeps TFW
from thinking ahead about how something she says or does might
effect someone. I still contend that she simply does not care. Her
goal was to get something free, with as little effort as possible.
She didn't, so she tossed off a not-so-subtle insult at the company.

Notice that the tweet was sent to her biggest fan, whom she'd
been ignoring for weeks until this incident. But that fan puffed her
up by reminding her she's important and influential, and that companies would be smart to keep her happy. Perhaps TFW
was looking to her to fight her battle, and continue to badger
and/or question that company. Then the haters can badger the
fan, and she can play victim again. It's win/win!

chefsummer #Leh said...

LOL Kate's worried about two gallons of water?

She should trying waking up to having a flood and gallons and gallons of nasty water in your hom. Which destroyed your things..now this sucks I know cause it happened to me

TLC stinks said...

Bottom line is that Kate has zero class and never is gracious. She thinks everything is owed to her because she is "special". She is special, but not in a good way, LOL. Too bad. A miserable role model.

MikeB said...

TFW always has to make it about herself and her entitlements. From what I've read it appears the handle on the collection bucket of the dehumidifier broke and the bucket then dropped on the floor and either tumbled over or maybe broke too. Frigidaire replaced it under warranty just like they would for any other customer. Using the words "offered me" implies there was a negotiation and she could have asked for more. They honored their contract, nothing more, nothing less; unlike TFW who broke all those contracts with the churches once her publicist realized they could get more money with other speaking engagements.

Sorry TFW but you're not special. You got the same treatment anyone else would have. The broken part was replaced. It is as simple as that. Only a self-absorbed, spoiled, brat could turn something as mundane as a broken bucket handle into a Twitter storm of "Look what your crappy product did. You're lucky my life wasn't ruined by a couple of gallons of water on the basement floor. Now what are you going to do to fix it?"

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Her twitter behavior, even down to her slamming of a decent company over something so minor and fixable, really has given us the most in depth look at who she really is, even better than what we saw on the show.

I can't imagine having to be the spouse or child of someone like this. I imagine she's just as passive aggressive, nasty and obtuse as she is on twitter. The only thing amazing about this is that Jon didn't divorce her first. Some of the kids will decide this is toxic and leave when they are older, it is virtually inevitable.

She's trying to make "episodes" on twitter or twitter fodder, but is so utterly incapable of recognizing what is fun, interesting and funny, that it's almost sad. When she thinks she has hit on something interesting she invariably ends up doing something douchey, like slamming a company unnecessarily.

Yeah I'll take a few gallons any day over what happened to our house during a terrible ice storm years ago. Entire downstairs flooded. I remember two feet of water everywhere. It was awful. Also when I did clean up at an apartment complex after Hurricane Katrina, the entire downstairs flooded and several feet into the upstairs. It was so sad all the stuff I found people had to leave behind. Again I really don't think she has any awareness how trite she sounds so much of the time. She can't even at least say "could be worse BUT...."

FlimsyFlamsy said...

How the mighty have fallen. We've had a peek into a "week in
the life" of Kate Gosselin, and it's mundane as all get-out. Her
8 little money-makers are away all day, and nothing much seems
to be going on in their absence. She dropped hints about being
crazy busy, and mentioned interesting changes she can't wait
for her fans to see, and whined about a wet basement floor.
Good thing she didn't get an oil change - her followers might've
passed out from the excitement.

I just remembered her little homemade video right after the tups
were born, and she said something about her life not being
"glamorous." That was part of her humble, "aw, shucks"
demeanor that the public (including me) bought hook, line
and sinker. But she desperately wanted a glamorous life,
and actually achieved that goal, and sustained it for years.
But that particular level of attention is never, ever coming
back. A handful of specials on TLC will never make her
a "cover girl" again. And Gladys can tweet all day long about
the paps clamoring for her idol, but those days are gone.

Welcome to mediocre, TFW.

Formerly Duped said...

Yeah, Hurricane Sandy was NOT fun for us. We lost power and so the sump pump spilled over and flooded the basement . We spent our days bailing out as much water as possible. Our Wet Vac is electric so couldn't be used til later, when we worked in shifts. A tree fell on our house causing damage to the roof, windows and fence and now our insurance rates have gone up because of it ( it was also our neighbor's tree!) But I wouldn't think to complain much, considering what some folks went through. TFW is so vapid and self- absorbed. Who cares about her little water spill and @Frigidaire tweet.If I had Twitter I would say to her #Frigidaire Fun!# noonecaresexceptMilo.

She is so ungrateful about the things she has that she didn't earn I remind you.

Here in Chicago we had weeks of rain/snow and thunderstorms that flooded people homes in most cases people were left homeless or left to live in filth.

So you had a broke handle wow-(I & tons of ppl had to call red cross)...So Kate why not fix it and stop complaining on twitter.

JoyinVirginia said...

OT because TFMJG is so incredibly boring, I can't even be bothered to capitalize boring anymore..
I finally watched the last few episodes of EXTANT last night, the Halle Berry summer sci fi series. The last few episodes were really good, exciting, action, made sense, and made the dh and I sit there and why the rest of the suits was so glacially paced. Instead of twelve or thirteen weeks, whatever it was, they should have made it maybe six or eight hour long episodes at most, and severely edited the script and plot. At one point there was a visit to the main characters father, then he was never seen again. That whole trip could be edited out. Subplots got thrown in that didn't lead anywhere. it could have been tighter and better.
Also, Big Brother has become a fascinating end game, with huge strategic decisions needing to be made by the last few players. Usually the last week is kinda boring, but not this time!
Who did win Americas Got Talent?
Next Wednesday, Survivor premiere and Big Brother finale. I would definitely watch TFMJG if she was sick in a house with cameras 24/7 and a bunch of strangers, I would pay for live feeds! Also if she was stuck on an island, but only if it was something like Survivor where there is no help.

chefsummer #Leh said...

I bet she's the one who broke the handle I met she nearly broke the dialysis on K8 but she's a nurse ok-ay.

She also broke the blinds and the stove while on TV.

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

The first word that comes to mind in describing her is "shallow." Very shallow.

Chef -- I don't think it's the eyelid that's the problem. It's the eye itself, and to correct that would involve major surgery, if it can be done at all.

Blowing In The Wind said...

She truly doesn't get why saying that might be mean or hurtful to those running a company. Probably makes no difference to a big one, but she does it to small time companies too where it could.

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

Yes, but she does it to fans, too, and not only small companies. Remember that remark she made during an appearance in California? "That wasn't part of it." We heard it, and I'm sure those fans standing right there heard it as well. She just blurted it out, not thinking that maybe their feelings would be hurt.

getofftwitter said...

Oh, BOOHOO, poor Kate! 2-3 gallons of water, that is a mear drop in the bucket, that is like dropping a gallon of milk on the floor and the plastic breaking. Like a lot of you here, back in 1995 we had the floors here in the Chicago area, and my basement floored to 2 1/2 feet of water, the most it has ever been floored, mostly every so offten , if the City of chicago does not open the locks to the lake we get rain water back up, about 6 inches, once in a while sew water, but mostly rain water. I lost half of my Doctor who books, Star Trek books, other paper products, things that had to be washed, and had to bleach the whole basement, clean the washer, dryer the bottom, had to call the heating guys to check the heating system, had to wash all plastic & metal, down, had to let the frig we had in the basement dry out for a couple of days, it still worked. So her drama Queen bitching about 2-3 gallons of water, makes her look really stupid, and to trash the company, because she broke the handle, really shows her true color, that as Admin said, it, only comfirms what we saw on TV. And what jon said about her: Kate really is an a-hole!

@EmeraldCityJaz @lovemedietcoke @finndango @MiloandJack @Kateplusmy8 wouldn't home owners insurance cover any damage & the cost of a new 1?

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

Not always. If a part breaks on your toilet and it causes major damage, flooding, sewage spill, whatever, insurance will pay to repair the damage, replace the floor, carpeting, etc., have a restoration company come in there and clean up the mess, but it will not buy a new toilet, nor will it pay five dollars for a new part if that's all that's needed.

Makes no sense, but that's the way many of them work.

chefsummer #Leh said...

Blowing In The Wind said... 33

You could be right I had a lazy eye-(born w/it) had surgery it wasn't to bad I was in and out of the ER less in two hours.

Also if Kate as lasik as she claimed I'm assume her eye doc would have fixed her eye be for hand.

That why I said it's her eyelid Paris hilton & actor Forest Whitaker has the same thing as Kate.

Exactly my experience. They paid for damages and restoration after a sewer back-up but not for clearing the roots that had blocked the sewer and caused the problem.

JoyinVirginia said...

Funny ” flood” story. Years ago had new fridge installed, with plastic tubing from wall to fridge for ice maker. It was long tubing. We had a curious black cat. Do you see where this is going?
I was in next room and suddenly I hear cat loudly give am unhappy MEOWR! And cat ran by really fast. I hear a hissing in kitchen. Yes, cat poked several holes in that tubing he had been playing with! poor little me had no one to help! I had to pull the fridge from the wall all by myself! And cut off the water supply faucet all by myself! I did make dh go to the hardware store and get the copper tubing that the cat tried and failed to poke a hole in.
I think it took five or sit dish towels to clean up the water. Oh my!

Yep, totally agree We had one huge flood in our basement once due to extreme weather conditions. Not fun at; bought a back up sump pump but spent hours cleaning up the aftermath. That's life

I agree TFW can not handle anything and her kids already know it.

In the next couple of years, they are going run circles around her and make her crazy. She is already catering to the twins hoping to control them. Not working nor it will for the tups in a couple years. I think most have indicated disdain for her in many respects and it going to get worse, as her expectations and demands are always off the hook! She really is a sick control freak and not in a good way. Still all about her and she better get ready for the next couple of years as these kids will likely crucify her. There were so many signs of disgust from so many kids for 10th birthday party, it wasn't even funny.

No one ever said she was very smart. . . but the kids are getting smarter and certainly more savvy than her.


Most importantly,

JMO said...

Can anyone here explain to me why we need to know via twitter about every single appliance failure, car problem, gas running out, what every kids says every day, constantly what her bird does, etc.... What is the point, and who does that? She really is a loon.

----
Been there, done that. We lost everything, and had to rip out the drywall, flooring, all furniture was destroyed, window treatments, kitchen cabinets were warped...everything. Kate wouldn't know what to do in a situation like that. She would be sobbing in a corner somewhere for days.

Rainbirdie said...

Per the latest from TMZ, Mama June & Sugar Bear have split up because she found that he has an online dating profile.
And lest anyone thinks Mama June has forgotten her priorities, TMZ writes - "Our sources say Mama June plans on taking the kids and moving out -- once the latest round of filming "Here Comes Boo Boo" is done".
Yep, keep up the marriage/commitment façade & keep filming (sound familiar?) Real life can wait until the 'season' ends. Who cares how that affects the kids? Reality show parents are the worst.

getofftwitter said...

Unlike some people in my block who at that time in 1995, I only got the 2 1/2 ft, a lot of my neighbors got the water almost to the ceiling. They lost their furnaces, washers, dryers, frigs, hot water tank and some lost their finished basements. Why they got more water than I did, my basement is only 3 feet below street level, their basements are 6 feet below street level, they got flooded worse than I did. They said it was cause my basement work the same as a stand pipe, the water reached it's level and went else where. The junk guys were having field day with all the appliances and stuff that was thrown out, I saw several washers, dryers, hot water tanks etc, out in the trash, besides dry wall, carpets etc. Mine is an unfinished basement, all concrete.

As for insurance, they will according to what you have in your policy, pay for new furnace, washer etc, but they will raise your rate. Depends on coverage. Mind you that not all policies cover flood. That I think is a separate coverage, and depending on where you live.

And Daryl Hall is redoing a very old home in England I think. Speaking of Daryl...

Oh, the other night my brother told me he was going to see Hall and Oates the same place where me an my ex saw them 31 years ago! Our tickets were about 10 or 15 each on the open floor, but we were half way back. His are the 10th row back center, 260 for 2! Dag Nab!

-----------

It depends on your policy. Around here, though, most are written that they will cover damage, but not new replacement items...not even a broken part. Depending on Kate's insurance, if her carpets were damaged, they would pay for new carpet, but not for a new appliance, or even a new handle and bucket.

I was talking to a lead tec for a restoration company, and I told him about Kate and her two gallons of water. He just looked at me and thought I was kidding about her two gallon "flood." This was after he got home from a water/sewer loss in which a pipe ruptured and the basement was under a foot of sewage. They had to go in there with Hazmat suits and boots and rip everything out. I asked him about insurance because he works with companies all the time, and he said that yes, the majority of companies here absolutely will not pay for a new appliance, new pipes, or anything that caused the damage. They will, however, take care of the costs of the restoration work, pay for new carpet and anything else that was ruined. But if a pipe breaks, the home owner is responsible for the cost of having that replaced.

Jennie Garth was on season 5 of Dancing with the Stars and came in 4th out of 12 contestants with an average score of 8.5 per judge/dance. K was on season 10, came in 8th out of 11, and had an average score of a little more than 5 per judge/dance. Mitigating factors (one each way): K was way overscored, but Jennie had a partner who is very good at making his partners look better than they are.

Dismal marriage? Just whom is to blame for that, sweetie? It was dismal because she made it dismal. Good grief -- he waited on her hand and foot, was berated to the point where he said she treated him like a friggin dog, flaunted her relationship with Purse Boy and wouldn't give him up even though she knew her husband was uncomfortable with the situation. Yes, it was dismal...dismal for him. Did Coyne watch any of the shows? Hey, Coyne, come over here and see how she treats the locals in the area and what people here think of her.

Here we go again. Kate, it's not cute. Parrots are lactose intolerant. While it's not toxic, it can cause digestive problems resulting in severe diarrhea. Same goes for any dairy product, including cheese. A small amount shouldn't cause a concern, but like people, you just never know how much is too much before the bird becomes sick.

I wonder what kind of cookie she gave Zorro. I hope to heck she knows that chocolate is toxic to birds, and don't give him anything with a high sugar or salt content. They just can't digest it. We know that Kate loves salty food!

I can't judge Kate until I've had the same children and the same marriage and the same reality show and the same career? You've got to be kidding. There's a name for that but I can't remember (moral relativism?). No. No. No. I know nothing about being a black NFL player but I can still judge that that guy should never have beat his wife and the other guy should never have beat his child. I can still judge that murder is wrong. I can still judge a lot of things. I think that Kate Coyne needs to figure out what her values are. Although I guess a mugger can go ahead and attack her. She doesn't know what it's like to be poor and homeless so she'll never judge him.

Because I'm a TV nerd I am really finding this mini saga interesting. Now you've got Joan Rivers' last or almost last TV project in the holding bin too. There's obviously no room for it on the fall lineup, and no clear word if they will find a spot for it after that at some point. And then there's good ole Trump who's always in la la land acting like there's no problem at all nothing to see here. lol.

Wait too long and it's going to get mighty dated. I think it's not completely off the table that it might never air.

Synonyms for "notoriety" include: infamy, disrepute, ill repute, bad name, dishonor, discredit, disesteem, dishonor, disrepute, scandalousness, shamefulness, and sordidness.

If having TFW on your show guarantees ratings (as that Nielsen

for "Celebrity Apprentice?" Common sense is out the window
with this person. Her constant support and praise of TFW in

Notoriety: the state of being famous or well known for some bad quality or deed.

She's a Kool Aid drinker. She's still fairly young, kissing up to whomever wants to be kissed, kind of a hanger-on-er. She likes Kate, for some reason. Maybe it's the celebrity worship thing and Kate just happened to be there. She obviously has no ability to think logically, as you pointed out. Perhaps give it time. She might figure it out at some point. She reminds me of Deanna. At some point down the road, both of them might get it...that this fascination with Kate was just the chance to say, "I'm friends with all of these stars." Coyne tweeted last night that she was there when Kate got a haircut, a way of saying, hey, I'm such good friends with this person...so close." I don't think that anyone was too impressed, but if it made her feel important tweeting that, then so be it.

I know nothing of her background/education/marital status, other than that she seems to be obsessed with Kate, but I seem to remember that she worked for, or was affiliated with Gay Socialites of New York. I don't know anything about them, either.

I guess I don't know much today other than it's time to clean some closets. I can't procrastinate any longer. I really wish I had TFW's organizational skills!

Sheri said...

This from TMZ about Honey Boo Boo's parents' separation...

"One source was candid, "To tell the truth it's good for the show. It had hit a bit of a lull and now there are tons of story lines ... dating, single parenting, breakups."

That said ... TLC wants to make sure the kids are not "emotionally bleeding" on camera because their parents broke up. TLC watched one of their signature shows -- "John & Kate" --- go down the toilet because of the strife over the kids."

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

I don't know whether to be disgusted or even if it's worth the energy to care at all. I just don't understand how we got to this point in society.

I just picture a board room full of produces greedily rubbing their hands together..."Oh goody! Another family implosion we can exploit. This will be ratings gold."

What's worse is that this could just be a publicity stunt because of the noted slump in ratings.

And if TLC doesn't want the children "emotionally bleeding" on camera, DON'T FILM THEM! Oh, but I notice that it's not about the kids at all, they're actually just worried about losing the show.

Publicity stunt or not, this bullshit just shows how much children growing up on reality t.v. are forced to live a lie. Their lives just aren't real.

How will they function as adults if there aren't producers around to tell them how to feel, how to react, what to say and no cameras to film it all?

What's the difference between signing your family up for reality t.v. and selling your kids to the circus? IMO, absolutely none.

It feels fitting to quote Lance Loud..."Television ate my family."

How dumb are these people? She learned a lot? What exactly has she learned that would make her a better person? She's learned how to grift, use people and then dump them, keep those little workers on television, kiss up to sheeple when her ego needs inflating...

She certainly hasn't learned anything about parenting, or how to co-parent in a divorce situation, and she hasn't learned that one of the worst things you can do is to poison your children's minds against their father. After five years, she's still doing it. Apparently she's a very slow learner.

Even if Milo is a lesbian I don't think women are nearly as visual as men when it comes to sexual matters. This is why there isn't that strong of a market for porn for women. Some women may watch it now and again but not nearly as much as men might want to.

I'm just not sure women straight or not think about other women in pink tool belts, but I could be wrong.

Or she's a very weird married mom with teens. It's just that whoever it is, the person is just so immature. I think that when Milo started out, she was a casual fan of Kate. As time progressed, for some reason, she made a name for herself on the internet/Twitter, and it progressed from there. I'm not so sure that she's as into Kate as she lets on. The fascination seems to have morphed into an act, a way to bait the haters, and to pump up her own ego.

Whatever "it" is, it definitely has mental issues going on and needs some serious psychological intervention. The pink strap-on tweet sounds exactly like something a man would say...or a gay woman. Married women with kids don't talk like that. They just don't.

"She is a head scratcher. Hey what's celebrity hanger on doing those days? Did she get her mathematician actuary whatever son a job yet?"

Nothing since September 12 and her gushing tweets to TheSharkDaymond, and a tweet to Kate that she wants a bird like Zorro.

I remember at least a couple times she's (Coyne) brought up that she has twins and I could of sworn she said she relates to Kate having a lot on her plate. I think she's one of those ridiculous mothers who thinks it's some kind of personal affront when people say Kate the mother of multiples is not special and should stop whining. Hey Coyne, it's not personal or about you. We're not talking about YOU. I have no idea what kind of mother YOU are. That's because you don't exploit your children or your motherhood.

Well, she's certainly something. Her comments about Kate's physique, her rockin bikini body, the questions about Kate's bathing habits (candles in the bathroom) mowing in Daisy Dukes, walking into the sunset, etc. etc., how Kate would "envision" her if she met her, what is expected from a potential suitor (remember that tweet?) most definitely are not normal things that a happily married "female" with children sends to another woman.

Um, takes two to have a dismal marriage, and Kate picked him to have eight children with.

We've talked about this so much but I really don't understand why one needs to make the reckless decision to risk multiples on such a high order in order to understand where Kate's coming from. Most people wouldn't do that in the first place, so how convenient for Coyne.

How does a judge and jury figure anything out if they haven't been in the criminal's shoes? Guess what, some things are fundamentally wrong and some people do fundamentally bad things and are not very good people, and there is no need to put on their shoes to figure that out. What's more, your circumstances generally do not excuse fundamentally bad behavior. Just what I was talking about the other day, these people want to give her a free pass because she has these kids or what have you. WTH!

chefsummer #Leh said...

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Here's food for thought too. If you can't judge Kate unless your circumstances are identical to hers, doesn't it then follow logically that you have no business SUPPORTING her unless you really walk in her shoes and know whether she is worthy of support?

Shouldn't we all just have no opinion on her, if your logic is you can't possibly judge her unless you also have multiples? Judging goes both ways. They judge Kate all the time as wonderful and amazing. That is a JUDGMENT.

This whole "free pass" business is utter nonsense. TFW had
2 pregnancies -- with help from fertility drugs both times --
giving birth to 8 children. Why is Coyne trying to depict her as
this poor soul dressed in rags as 8 children were foisted upon
her, while her douchy husband is out chasing girls?

From all accounts, TFW was waited on hand and foot through both pregnancies. And after the 6 were born, it is well documented that TFW and Jon had dozens and dozens of helpers. As for that "dismal"
marriage, I saw with my own eyes how that deadbeat husband left
coffee beside his wife's bed in the morning. I saw him come home
and bathe 8 children and put them down for bed. I saw TFW tell
her children that Mommy and Daddy would be together forever,
and take an all-expenses paid trip to Hawaii for a vow renewal,
while she was already planning to kick her husband to the curb.

Coyne will regret this alliance with TFW. Everyone does eventually.

chefsummer #Leh said...

Let's face it, Coyne could put real stars on the cover of People, like say, Kathy Griffin, but it's not going to sell.
Griffin is a bonafide Hollywood star, but she doesn't have the drama of 8 kids and a divorce.
A-list starts like Jolie and Clooney might only reach out to Coyne if they want a cover every blue moon (baby, wedding).

Kate jumps at the chance to be on the cover, or anywhere in People, and will always reciprocally schmooze with Coyne.

She did sort of admit that in I Just Want You to Know when she said something along the lines of she truly loves the media and the appearances. That sort of contradicts her previous party line that poor Kate has to do all this because there's no other way to feed her babies. But I have a feeling the powers that be mentioned that little slip up to her and instructed her never to imply again this is really just about her own ego and desires. And she hasn't.

It's totally none of my business, and this isn't a criticism, but I just wonder about something. If I read some of the timelines of the non-fans (okay, the haters), I see that some of them are on there on an hourly basis, many times taking a breather for perhaps only five hours, and the remaining 19 hours they are tweeting and primarily to and about Kate. I don't have Twitter. Is it that addicting that it consumes your every waking moment? Don't these people have families, friends, daily activities, pets to care for, kids, cleaning to do, grocery shopping...that they are able to spend so much time devoted to calling out Kate and jumping on sheeple? I just don't get it, and really, sometimes I feel sorry for them that they apparently have no other interests.

I'm betting she has absolutely no business disclosing what the airings will be given that TLC has not released their December schedule. I'm betting nothing is set in stone either this early in the game. TV is always fluid and if something else does very well or very poorly all promises of air dates could be off. If she is intentionally vague it's easier for her to play dumb if anybody from TLC gives her a phone call pissed off at her.

FlimsyFlamsy said...

So TFW is saying the show will be on weekly in December?
Holidays, shopping for gifts, family get-togethers, office parties,
traveling - not exactly prime TV time. Sounds like TLC doesn't
think this show is going to be much of a draw.

Admin (#122), I think TFW has let it slip several other times that
she really, truly wants to be a TV star. She said working in the
media is "comfortable" to her. She described the seats of The
View moderators being the "chairs of her dreams." She talked
about "owning the mike" while being interviewed once. And the
legendary, delusional comment that she believes she has the
"gift of gab."

There was also something pretty recent when she something
like she wanted a chance to hit it out of the park again, and that
she hoped "lightening" (sic) would strike twice. That was pretty
candid, and pretty desperate. And I think the further that brass
ring fades from her grasp, the more of these comments will be
made. She never, ever wants to be out of the spotlight.

Somewhere In Time said...

Attention sheeple! Kate Plus Eight was cancelled. That means, in case you don't understand the meaning of the word, it was over. It was not renewed. It is not coming back as a regular series.

You're right, I'd forgotten about those comments. They're not exactly her saying directly how much she loves all this, but they pretty much imply that that's what this is really about. Those comments are utterly and completely inconsistent with a mother who is only doing this because she has been unable to secure any other way to make money to support a large family, as she insists. I wonder how she thinks other large families do it.

@Kateplusmy8: @HalenHg yes! Our show is back and is on weekly in December #Yay
=======
I guess, just as we speculated, that they're doing a 5 episode season of specials which would put it on "weekly". Let's see, Boston & NE vacation = 2; back to school = 1; home improvements = 1; twins birthday = 1. There you have it, 5 episodes = weekly. She does know how to make it sound like she'll be on forever.

OT books: I finished "Gone Girl". I fell into the book and neglected everything except essentials until it was finished.

This isn't the proper place to discuss the ending, but I did find several other internet discussions.

I will be interested to see how the movie will handle the journal dialogues.

Thanks to everyone who encouraged reading the book.

OT. Stories like this show that there are youth of today who are to be commended for making an "underdog" feel like a million bucks: It's trending on Yahoo, if anyone wants to see the photos.

"Unfortunately, sometimes high school looks a lot like a real-life version of the movie "Mean Girls." Case in point, a group of girls at Grand Prairie High School in north Texas tricked 17-year-old Lillian Skinner into thinking she was nominated for the homecoming court.
The truth is, she wasn't actually nominated, but the story doesn't end there. Her two friends Anahi Alvarez and Naomi Martinez, who were nominated, heard about the cruel prank and came up with a plan. They decided that if either of them won, the winner would give the crown to Lillian. "We promised each other, and we were like, 'No matter what, no backing down. If one of us wins, we're giving Lillian the crown,'" Martinez told NBCDFW.

In order to get Skinner down to the field during the crowning ceremony, the friends told the school's principal, Lorimer Arendse, about their plans. Then the winner was announced, and Alvarez was crowned the queen. Moments later, Alvarez placed the crown on Skinner. "I was like, 'Wow, really? Like, wow! Like, is this a dream or something?'" Skinner said.

Alvarez said that when people ask her if she won, she tells them, "No, Lilly is homecoming queen," adding "Lilly won. I just ran in her place, in her position."

Jeanne said...

My current opinion (subject to change without notice) is that Milo is female. I think she is older and lives in a nursing facility, hence lights out man. Someone introduced her to watching Jon & Kate Plus 8 thinking she would love watching the kids. Instead she somehow focused on Kate. Kate reminded her of herself as a younger woman or someone she used to know. Her dementia has warped that association into this weird thing you see today. Dementia has many levels of confusion and parts of this remind me of my grandmother. Eventually my grandmother's confusion got worse and we took the computer away but I can easily see this happening. In Assisted Living areas, the residents are supervised and not at the same time. If she spent her free time on the computer and the family was ok with it, the nurses wouldn't stop her. The posting and deleting makes sense to me with a little dementia. She probably doesn't have a sexual attraction to Kate. She sees herself as close friend or even family to Kate. She might not be able to distinguish day dreams and reality. I just feel like the inappropriate stuff feels a little familiar. My grandmother said some really odd things.

Just my way of seeing things here. I have no proof who Milo is.

Slightly OT: Anyone followingthe Jameis Winston story?

He shows up, FULLY dressed, padded, helmet on and takes the field for warm-ups w/ the team. Head Coach has to tell him to go change. Sooo...NO ONE from the coaches, players, administrators, towel boy said, "Ummm...you can't do that." Just goes to show, that when you're bringing in the the big bucks, people are very hesitant to tell you no. And your sense of self-importance and entitlement just grows. He shouldn't even have been allowed on the field, much less on the sidelines being shown on camera every few seconds. What did he learn? Nothing.

TFW had to know this was coming after that whole thing with Zorro and the milk. I hope they continue to call her out on her pretending especially her tweet about being on weekly in December. While not exactly a lie she wants people to think she's got a new series rather than specials that they'll be running at one time rather than spaced out through the year. I'm going to guess right now that the ratings will drop as the weeks go on. #holidayseasonandtoomanyshowstooclosetogether #whocares

Katykat, I know! He is a big fat entitled JA. It is disgusting how his criminal behavior is being swept up under the rug right in front of our eyes! The gun was actually a BB gun. He and another guy did over 4K in damage! That is a felony! He should of gotten jail time. Then the rape allegations, of course there was insufficient evidence to convict the cash cow. I believe it happened and she was paid off. IMO

Then he wins the Heisman. Could of screamed. I thought the HT was a big percentage of a player's Character! Community Service! And his skills on the field. Then he shoplifts the seafood at Publix, then steals a coke at Burger King. Then he stands up last week on a table and shouts the sexual profanity over and over again. To bad someone didn't video it. It might of gotten him suspended for many more games. The coach first suspended him for the 1st half of the Clemson game, then after the outrage, the whole game. Then he has the nerve to show up for the warm up fully dressed out and the coach got really upset and sent him back to the locker room and told him to change into street clothes.

Someone posted on a sports article that he was making Johnny M. from Texas A and M look good. And JM is a nut too. Also, when Justin Bieber and his buddies did the egg throwing at his neighbors house, they did 20K worth of damage. This is vandalism. The DA was trying to decide if JB should be charged with a felony. I couldn't believe it! Any vandalism damage over 400 dollars in CA is a felony!

Here is a quote from JW at HIS press conference the day after he stood on a table and shouted the sexual profanities:

During his news conference on Wednesday, Winston talked about the adversity the Seminoles would have to overcome against the Tigers on Saturday. It's another distraction he created.

"You've got to overcome adversity -- and that's one thing at Florida State we do," Winston said. "We're gonna overcome adversity. And when I do get my opportunity to play, I'll do everything I can."

Overcome adversity? He acts like he was hurt in a football game and after months of surgery and rehab is back on the field ready to go.

What a JA!

I do not think it is unreasonable to have a zero tolerance rule for all sports. If you are convicted of a crime or can not follow a moral code you are gone. It works for BYU. The problem is too many people are lacking a moral compass and there is too much money involved in sports. We watch some games but have started to avoid any teams with thugs playing.

Redbird, are you ever able to physically go to Church? That must be such a special treat when you do. I sure wish your kids had you closer to them so that you could see them at least weekly.

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

True. but she's always been fixated on Kate's body, the short-shorts, her fantastic legs, the luxurious baths, etc. There's some lusting going on there. Whether it's a man or woman, I don't know. It could be an "it."

With Gladys, there's more going on there than just saying or doing some really strange things. She's really "off."

The red flags for me was when she tweeted that photo of the toy truck. Her son at the time was, what, maybe 17 or so. She "found" a truck in their back yard that belonged to him and she wistfully remembered when he was a young lad. Bull. Either there is no son, or the son still played with toy dump trucks when he was a teenager, but that toy was staged. It looked new, there was no rust, nor dirt, nothing on it, after how many years of being left out in all kinds of weather? Either it belonged to a neighbor, a family member, another kid where she "resides." I don't know. The whole thing was just really bizarre and was obviously staged.

All of the victims were riding in the same car, but they haven't released any information about the crash, other than that four cars and speeding were involved. It's in the same county where the manhunt is ongoing for the shooter who killed the state cop. They still haven't gotten him yet, although we get daily reports that they have closed in on an area, shots were fired, and residents are being told not to leave their homes. They just can't seem to get this guy.

This is a tough one. In the case of Ray Rice, where there is video showing him physically assaulting and knocking his then fiance unconscious --- he should most certainly be benched until the legal process is complete and he is either exonerated or convicted.

As to the Adrian Peterson charges of child abuse -- there is again photographs that depict welts and cuts to the child's legs and other places. The photos make it clear that Peterson caused numerous cuts on his 4 year old which bled. That to me is child abuse. Again - he should be benched until the charges work their way through the court system.

But most of all, the NFL needs to clean up their own act. They need to stop drafting players who have a history of criminal behavior (drug charges, gun charges, theft, assaults on others, etc.) If it were widely accepted fact that you won't get a coveted spot on a professional football team, along with the possibility of earning lots of money and having many endorsements -- maybe that would encourage some of these guys to change their behavior. Right now, they are protected, starting at the high school level. Their prowess on the field takes precedence over their wrong deeds off the field. It has to start somewhere, and seems like we as a society need to have realization. No more excuses for bad behavior.

I don't know the name of the college football player who was benched for half a game for standing on a cafeteria table and shouting out a profane phrase. But one of the comments made by a fellow student who witnessed this scene said, "I knew it was _________ (name of player) because all the campus police were looking the other way."

As to Sugar Bear and Mama June splitting up - didn't most of us see that coming? She didn't actually marry him in the "wedding" show. She never has seemed that interested in him. Whether she actually caught him trolling a dating site or not -- TLC lies all the time, so who knows if that's true. But if you are in a committed relationship, wouldn't you at least try to work things out first before showing your long time partner the door?

No, I think ratings were dropping, Honey Boo Boo is not really cute anymore, they milked all they could from the marriage of one daughter to some kid - so now what? They're going to do all the tricks they hoped to try with Kate, except she's the pill of the century and it didn't work. Mama June goes to work and messes up! Mama June dates new guys - can they handle her and her brood?! But TLC is trying to learn from past mistakes - so they're going to keep Sugar Bear around. Dumb and dumber.

Yes, TLC has no shame. TMZ has screenshots of Sugar Bear's online dating profile. I will never forget when I was taken my computer classes in college when I went back of seeing someone's dating profile online! You can tell how literate someone is by what they write instead of the writing on the profile.

It was a woman that me and the teacher knew and she would just check what she wanted on her profile and when she was prompted to actually write something, wow. I know my grammar and sentence structures in posting here are atrocious, haha but this was BAD. We just read it and was stunned how illiterate this person's writings were even though she graduated from high school.

That poor Alaina on TMZ has a shirt on with the world ELITE in pink puffy letters with ___?_____ and Cheep? under ELITE. A tall, slender girl with a pom pom in her hand pumped in the air on each side.

This is the way I went when I go out to eat with my family. The last time I was able to go out was Dec. 2012. I am hoping I will be able to go both holidays this time. And possibly NY too.

I am surprised that she was able to do the book with all the red tape from LHOP. She has a picture of her dressed in her character, has prairie in the name of the book. She must have good standing with the producers for her to be allowed to do it. Remember how TLC clamped down on kate about they couldn't even take pictures of their own kids?

That is why she does not have regular candid family pictures in frames being themselves. The kids pictures are all studio pictures and owned by their owner, TLC.

New ad for eharmony:

Guy explains that his mother said if he didn't get married she was going to get a billboard with his picture and let every girl know he was available. The thought of that embarrassed him so bad that he went to eharmony and found someone and got married before she had a chance to do that.

I'm going to guess that NBC is the entity that still holds the rights to Little House. The show made them multi millions and I think they generally were on extremely good terms with everybody. I can see them being absolutely fine with whatever she wanted to do as long as she ran it by them, including using a pic from the show and the name "little house."

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Oh I just remembered for awhile there there was some kind of Little House the musical traveling around. Melissa ever starred as Ma. Sounds like NBC has been pretty open to whatever people want to do.

Found this from Wikipedia: NBC owns ancillary rights and thus is the worldwide licensor for DVD rights as well. Sister company NBC Universal International Television distributes the series internationally.

I wonder if they might very well negotiate a small cut of Melissa's book sales, a cut of the musical, etc.

***********************
Yep, December is down time for the regular shows. The networks used to show all 22 episodes in a row from October - February and then head into repeats. In the past ten years or so they have drug the season out until May by doing mid-season repeats and filler specials/pilots. There will be a cliffhanger episode right around Thanksgiving and then no new shows will air until January.

The networks do this to get maximum ratings during "sweeps" the months of November, February, May, and July which sets advertising rates. A November cliffhanger will boost rating then and making December and March throwaway months lets them push the season finale into May.

Good job TFW, you've gotten your "season" airing during a time the networks know peoples' attention is turned toward family and holidays rather than the TV and the ratings don't matter. It is just something to fill the dead air time.

Did you see her up close? Did she say anything to you or vice versa or just walk past you with her nose in the air while talking on her pink Iphone? What was she doing when you saw her?

The reason I ask is that I've always thought I'd like to observe her--but not too close--for a while. It would probably be brief cause I'd get ticked off and want to smack her upside of the head after a while. Another question would be why hasn't some enterprising local had t-shirts made up with her picture that say I survived TFMJG or something like that?

I wasn't suggesting they were just being nice. It's to everyone's mutual benefit that Little House continues to do well and expand its merchandising. Like I said, they may even get a cut of it.

I don't think however there is any particular ill will when it comes to their relationship with any of the case of Little House. Any time anyone is ever in public they always speak so glowingly about everything. That is to NBC's mutual benefit to encourage that and be cooperative with whatever the cast wants to do with the rights, as it reflects well on them too. For example, every time Melissa encourages the Little House angle of her brand, that encourages fans to buy the DVDs, tune into the syndication, or purchase other merchandise. Every time that happens NBC makes money.

This is the part of the business that I don't think Kate ever grasped. Just because you may not collect a physical paycheck from someone does not mean you won't ultimately make money from that person's actions and therefore should be cooperative and encouraging of that person. It may have annoyed Kate that Aunt Jodi was going to get paid, but Aunt Jodi brought viewers to the show, which in turn means Kate, and everyone, conceivably makes more money. She is definitely a cut off her nose to spite her face type person.

Virginia Pen Mom said...

I don't follow the Real Housewives, but I read in "In Touch" this week that Teresa Giudice is (supposedly) pregnant.

The mag says that her reason for having the baby may be "cold, hard cash." A book about her life in prison as a pregnant housewife could net her millions, the article says.

An industry insider says being pregnant while waiting to be sentenced sounds like "the worst thing in the world" (what a way to describe a baby). But the pregnancy actually "could turn out to be the best thing ever" because it could lead to the spinoff that Giudice always wanted. The new show would cover Giudice's life pregnant leading up to prison and how she gets her life back once she's released"--it would be "ratings gold."

There you have it, folks. Another baby as a commodity.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry... step right up! See the amazing NJ housewife going to jail. See the tiny baby! See the family's adjustment and the baby being raised by who-knows-who while the parents are in jail! See the child's trauma and distress! Children crying, children acting out! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

P.T. Barnum would be proud.

It would be great fun if they could show the Giudice children visiting their parents in jail, right? No damaging material there...

Instead of demanding Jon to stop the pumpkin carving, why didn't kate, like a normal mother just go in and sit down at the other end of the table and start carving the pumpkins so it would take half the time. This is what AJ would of done and she would also multi-task too! Warm CC cookies and cold milk would be available for all at the end of the carving party.

After Jon and kate got married and had the twins and if Jon had realized kates masterplan on her computer, he could of divorced her right then and proved in court her master plan for another try at HOM. He could of gotten full physical custody of M and C and stayed out of the limelight.

Then kate could of moved on and gotten someone else down the road to drink the Kreider Kool-Aid Kid Kreator!

I think the NFL commissioner should step down. He knew damn well that Ray Rice cold cocked his fiance and knocked her out cold, yet did nothing until the rest of us found out.
I'm also tired of these sports commentators saying that all of this violence is because the players' job is violent.
Cut me a break!

The reason why they behave badly is because they are 300 pound Veruca Salts who live in a bubble where the word "no" isn't spoken.

That PA car wreck is so tragic.
It really drives home how crazy Kate is for speeding with her kids in the car.
Just reading about Kate's reckless maneuvers behind the wheel set my teeth on edge.

It's no surprise that June and SB split.
Them's the pitfalls of reality tv- the chances of your marriage remaining intact are dismal.
Hopefully, June didn't tell HBB that she and SB would be together forever.

Tucker's Mom said...

From a radar article about HBB:

"Since the unconventional toddler pageant queen with a potty mouth skyrocketed to stardom, things just haven’t been the same in the neighborhood.

“I don’t see them outside anymore,” added Phillips. “They hired bodyguards down there for her. They aren’t police. It’s somebody they hired. You can tell. They stick out like a sore thumb.”
****
This is why June is no better than Kate. She puts HBB out there to become rich and famous, and HBB is laid out for so much criticism.
Basically, Radar just called her an ugly kid with a foul mouth.
Nice.

"I wasn't suggesting they were just being nice. It's to everyone's mutual benefit that Little House continues to do well and expand its merchandising. Like I said, they may even get a cut of it."

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

Interesting side note...Melissa Gilbert is not the first person to publish a cookbook based on the Little House of the Prairie series.

In 1979, Harper Collins published "The Little House Cookbook - Frontier Foods from Laura Ingalls Wilder's Classic Stories" by Barbara M. Walker.

I just received my third edition copy and can't wait to read it. It contains recipes, excerpts from the books and author's notes.

Definitely one of those cookbooks that I will read like a novel.

MikeB: totally agree with you. If I were Kate I would be PO'ed for putting show on in December. With all the Xmas shopping, people working extra jobs, Xmas parties, family , Xmas vacayion, etc, people are not going to tune in to watch an entitled, over rate, selfish, bitchin, whinein, complainin, cryin I got no money, but I send my kids to expensive private school, drive 3 expensive cars, live in a million dollar house, and spend money like water, and don't work mom etc. Unless this was TLC plan from the beginning. Perhaps Kate was bugging them for the last 2 years for a second chance, and the new staff over at TLC, threw her the pity card, with you will do things are way not yours, take it or leave it. Being Kate who is chasing fame, she took it.

Getofftwitter (#9), you forgot one of the lamest parts -- who
wants to watch these kids get school supplies 3 months after
the fact?! If TFW is unhappy with the time slot, I would urge
her to remember her own words from the "Fancy Nancy" book:
"You get what you get and you don't get upset."

Did anyone watch the Ken Burns Roosevelt documentary last
week? Eleanor Roosevelt accomplished more in a week --
even as a senior citizen -- than TFW does in a year. TFW
went to St. Jude and handed out her book to children with
cancer (?!), then had the audacity to compare her bedrest
with what they were enduring. Eleanor Roosevelt went to
hospital burn units and visited with ravaged patients, and then
hand-wrote notes to the families of each soldier she'd spent time
with. Long after her husband passed, she committed herself to
being of service. It wasn't for the cameras -- it brought her great
joy. Politics aside, it's hard to disagree that she walked the talk.
Now there's someone to be inspired by, in my opinion.

That episode was sickening. Between regaling children with CANCER with stories of her 1000 days of bed rest, acting like an entitled bitch to the docent on the hospital tour and lying through her veneers about personally spending their own money at KMart (while receiving a 6-figure endorsement deal), I think I could hurl.

Tucker's Mom (#11), and don't forget the chunk of change from
the Desperaux plug in that episode. TFW playing Ma Ingalls, reading with the kids huddled around her on the bed. Except they looked
like they had never before seen their mother with a book in her
hands. Maybe they thought she was going to hit them with it...

See, this is the kind of thing that the sheeple ignore completely. I don't think even they could come up with an excuse for this. If they can, they need to be committed.

I can't remember who it was that asked a while back if anyone was watching the FDR episodes on PBS. They said it was intense. No kidding, it was, what I watched! I had finished watching Antique Roadshow and didn't turn the channel and it came on. It was part 3 I think about FDR and him being dx with the polio and FDR's mother being such a witch ER. A very dysfunctional family.

And that FDR having an affair with his secretary. UGH!

The St. Jude episode is just crazy. Her behavior was atrocious. Her walking ahead of the young lady guide volunteer who survived cancer and wasn't even acknowledging her or even paying attention to her was cruel. Jon talked to her like a normal human being. She must of been in a hurry to get it done, she must of had Steve around somewhere so she could get some alone time with him.

Away from the kids, on a beach with Steve is all she has on her brain.

Tucker's, did you see the picture of the van laying on it's side? The entire roof from the window to the back of the van was not there. It looked like those Spam cans with the key and you roll the lid of the top of the can. And you can't even see where the roof even went. It wasn't laying there beside the van.

It is very tragic. When I first saw accident, PA, kids, I immediately thought of kates driving. I pray that if she ever has an accident and I hope she doesn't for the kids sake, I hope NONE of the kids or an animal are with her in the vehicle!

That accident was BAD. That mother was so damn irresponsible on so many levels, and those kids paid with their lives.
Between Kate and Jon, it's amazing they've never been in a bad wreck.

I think there was more to it than just an "affair." There's an interesting theory that he never gave up Lucy Mercer and Eleanor knew it.

We are related (Eleanor) somehow, back to cousins once removed. I can remember my grandfather telling me stories about Mrs. Roosevelt. I wish at the time I had paid closer attention.

Well, there were pictures (video), so therefore it happened. Can't pass that one off by saying that there was no proof.
