Kate and Steve set up an Easter egg hunt for the kids out front today, no Tony in sight. Sources report (and photos confirm) Kate isn't spending enough time in the dance studio this week -- opting to run errands or get pedicures, which has frustrated Tony. Is she giving up or is she just lazy?

Another staged PR BULL CRAP! Kart are you SURE nothing's going on with you & Stevie? It seems a bit staged whenever there is a family activity we read the headlines that state, "Kate & Steve..." WTH?!?
The ONLY family present are the children and Kart's trusted, PAID BFFs, Steve & Gina. What are the ethical boundaries between employer & employee? In Kart's world, there are no boundaries except the excessive need for Kart to be NUMBER 1, the kids are a secondary concern.
I hope Jon gets to spend Easter with them. No Easter Bunny, they don't believe in it. No Mom, she is too busy. No church, it's too hard according to Mom. Don't the Nannies want to be the holiday with their own families?
If Jon doesn't get to spend the holiday with them, it's just evil. Holiday's are for families.

The zig-zag braid in the back of one of the girl's hair is a trademark of a nanny or maybe Gina. Not Kate.
Kate has to be in LA first thing tomorrow for camera blocking and costume prep. Maybe the kids think today is Easter. Who the hell knows, anymore. Poor little props.
Good grief! Does this woman EVER smile? She's glaring in every photo on JJ. If she is so angry at the paps, why be in the front yard?
And has anyone EVER seen a photo of any of the children with a friend or school mate? EVER? Are they even allowed to have friends their own age?
I'm thinking Kate may actually allow Jon to be with the children more. Reading the article on narcissistic mothers, it seems she was punishing Jon for making her angry (because it's ALWAYS the other person's fault and narcissists are VERY vengeful) but classic NPD would have her soon lose interest in this and become focused on the next person she decides to make the villain.
And once she decides it's more convenient for HER to allow Jon more time with her, she would likely do it.....though, this news regarding him seeing an attorney over this could make her retaliate again.

I think Kate has figured out that it doesn't matter how badly she dances, they will keep her around as long as they feel they need to, so why bother with practice? Too much work.
And yeah, what a sourpuss in all these pictures.
I think this is being filmed for the new show.
Notice the sextuplets are in matching outfits, which happens mostly when the show is being filmed. If this were just a regular family fun day, the kids would be hunting those eggs in shorts of assorted patterns and the girls' hair would be in loose pony tails with most of it in their eyes. They are dolled up for TV.
How many parents of school children and neighborhood children would want their kids having to have "fun" while being directed by TLC
production assistants? Remember the 5th birthday party? The guests looked like they'd rather be having their teeth drilled - until they could hide behind the netting in the bouncy houses and not be recognized on TV or ordered where to bounce next.
Poor kids. All this attention from the world and absolutely no freedom to just break loose and have some fun. It's all scripted.
I don't see a camera crew filming them. But if I were Kate and Jon it would freak me out that all these pictures of my little children were being taken day after day. I would build a 10 foot high fence. The kids should be able to play in their own front yard without being photographed for crying out loud. Celebs in L.A. live in houses with rock fences around them. You don't see other people's children being photographed in their own yards.
Perhaps if Kate did all of the activities in the BACK yard they might have more privacy.
Oh wait. Then it would be too obvious these are planned photo ops.
I'll give her this much, she's got some guns on her now.
Yeah, I don't get that. Why in the WORLD would she do this in the driveway with all that acreage behind the house unless she WANTED the paps to take pictures?
And does TLC hire the paps?
Kate and Tony should dance the paso doble to, BLAME IT ON THE ALCOHOL! We all know that Kate has to blame someone or something for her shortcomings.

It's not too obvious that TLC set up this photo op a day before the dancing android heads back to LA. They own the Gosselins and they're back to blatantly shilling the kids again. It's like Sharon Osbourne said - it's so wrong on every level.
And I'm very curious if hiding Easter eggs was part of the job description when Steve was hired on as bodyguard. He must be stupider than he looks.
I just bet she can,t wait to get back to LA.
I recall Kart saying she would never ever not be with her children on a holiday!
I'm confused by the photos. In some of them Kate appears to have a plastic bag with eggs in it. Then she seems to have emptied it. How could she hide the eggs with the kids outside?
Also in the photos from the other day; Kate was wearing two floating diamond necklaces when she went for her nails photo op. Did she take back Jamies? Is it a sign that she misses her? I'm confused.

someone mentioned on GWOP that the girl next to the boy with glasses has bruising all over her back and a bite mark on her neck. I hope the "bruising" is just the tree shading on her. Someone definately did something to that poor child's neck. If that isn't shading CHP needs to get into that house pronto.
mary
the pic is on ROL,not the link above.
Yep, another photo-op. Who walks around in their own yard/grass in high heels? (Oh, that's right Kate does.)
This woman has 26 acres--plenty of room BEHIND the house, yet the egg hunt has to be out ib front so those "crafty" paps can "catch" them, lol!
I have to say that I am very intrigued by the fact that ROL 1) posted such a negative/nasty picture of Kate glaring (unless that was all they had because she glared all day and never smiled...which IS possible) and 2) that there are now SO many negative comments there...as compared to the past.
Good to see, IMO. I feel the tide is truly finally turning. YAY!

I saw the bruising/bite marks on Hannah. Strange. Some of it looks like shadows on the trees but I also think she has two dark bruises on her neck and upper arm. The neck one looks like two fingerprints.
Steve helped hide eggs? Lol. The kids look like they are having fun.
If you download the photo of Hannah and Aiden then zoom in on her back it looks more like a huge bruise than shadowing. If it was a shadow it would darken the strap of her dress but it doesn't, it goes underneath.
I noticed the bruises/shadows too but didn't want to jump to conclusions. I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw hand prints. Maybe Steve's wifey isn't enjoying babysitting as much as Steve and Kate think she does??
Poor kids. Somebody please help those kids.
Bruises can be caused by lots of things. It doesn't necessarily mean she was beaten by anyone. She could have taken a tumble down those nasty steep stairs in the house. We'll probably never know because Just a Mom Who Happens to Be on TV thousands of miles away would never let on that she's left an injured child in someone else's care while she was away and busy working on her fame-whoring career.
Having said that, I thought any kind of injury and/or bruising had to be reported to child protection and investigated if the child is brought in to the hospital. That bruise looks like it could have caused some damage. How did TLC/ABC et al manage to keep it quiet? Where were the paps that day?
Sorry, that was poorly worded, a bruise doesn't cause damage. I should have said that bruise looks like the result of some serious damage.
I think it's a shadow. On that area of the strap there are shadowed spots.
Did you zoom in SG? If you go to JustJared there is a photo of all eight in front of the house (the same one as is at the top of this page, but clearer and larger). You can see Hannah's back there. It's kind of strange for shadows to be the same place on a different pic.
I'm with SchmeckyGirl. It really does look like shadows from the trees.
As a foster parent, I can tell you that if the bruises were THAT obvious, Hannah would be dressed differently in clothes that cover the bruises.
I know we are ALL concerned for those kids and I have no doubt that they are being emotionally abused (I've seen it on the show and in videos see: Kate telling the kids "You'd still be here if I hadn't come to get you" in an older TMZ video).
However, it is pretty clear in that pic, that shadows are covering the kids, not bruises.
Curiosity got the better of me and looked at thr ROL pic of Hannah and Aiden. IDK, it sure looks suspiciously like bruises, but if they were, I cannot imagine permitting Hannah to dress in such a revealing dress.
I'm not one to defend Kate, especially if I thought there was abuse, however, even looking at the pics at JustJared all the kid have shadows on them. In that pic Hannah has shadows on her leg under her dress too. The boy to her left also has shadows all over his back on his shirt. In fact, just about every child in that pic has shadows on them.
Even if they were bruises, which I really feel they aren't, they could be from anything. Especially on Hannah... isn't she supposedly the beloved one? ;) (And just to clarify, I don't think Hannah is any more loved than any of the other girls.)
And what was up with that comment about a FedEx package that was going to have some info in it that was going to blow us all away?
SchmeckyGirl,
Where did you see something about a FedEx package?
Anonymous has left a new comment on the post "Back in PA":BIG NEWS about the Gosselin Home on Heffner Road in Wernersville PA. Information will be released as soon as the Fed Ex packet arrives on Saturday before noon. This will be very interesting. Will confirm suspicions and will certainly make TLC spinPost a comment.
I had heard about the Hailey / Heller connection... I just don't remember it being confirmed. But then again it's all a blur.
I'm with SchmeckyGirl on this; it's just shadows.
I'm glad Kate travels with Steve. Tony twittered about a flight delay yesterday. I can only imagine how upset Kate was at waiting. Good thing Steve around to keep Tony from Kate and her spoon!
nanb
It sure looks like she doesn,t enjoy her time with the kids and being home,Oh well Kate you will be away from it all tomorrow.I think she resents being home.just my opinion.
I hope it's not a bruise or bruises either, and I did say if it was it could be caused by lots of things other than abuse. But it looks like bruises to me when I used the zoom on Windows Pictures and Fax Viewer.
They all look like they're having a good time though which is great. Aaden looks like such a little gentleman with those glasses. They're all very sweet. I couldn't leave them and be that far away if they were my kids.
Did shadows cause the bite mark on her neck? Those kids are too old to be biting!!!!!!
Why assume that it is abuse? Can you see teeth marks? Broken skin? If it were finger marks, why would she put them in such a revieling dress??? Seriously, if you think that those kids are abused to the point of being that black and blue, call the authorities and report it. Otherwise, why don't we stop jumping to conclusions based on one photo. There are tons of other reasons for critizing Kate, I don't think this is one of them!
Ok, I HAVE to point this out. In the pics from supposedly "today" on ROL, Mady and Cara are wearing the SAME clothes they have been wearing for the last three days of ROL pics. They wore them for the supposed Easter Egg hunt yesterday, they are wearing them today and they wore them Thurs and Friday. ROL is posting these pics as different days when they were probably all taken on the same day!
Honestly I can't tell for sure whether it's bruising or shadows. There definitely is at least some shadows on, but the mark on her neck looks more like spots and is redder. But I don't know.
My first thought actually wasn't that Kate hurt them. Kate isn't with them enough! I just assumed one of her siblings did it, acting out and taking out their aggression on their sister.
By the way, Kate herself admitted in her book that she feels Hannah needs her more--which is a nice way of saying she is the favorite.
4:09 anon - I'll form opinions about her based on what I've seen, not what others say about her. Every time a kid gets a bruise doesn't mean they've been physically abused. To me they look like bruises and to others they appear to be shadows. Difference of opinion is all that is. However I can & will criticize Kate for abusing her kids. If you don't think exploiting them for as long as she has isn't freaking abuse then what other label would you give it? I think emotional abuse is just as bad as physical and there was two and half years of listening to her degrade & berate everyone around her on the show. AND let's not forget she was caught smacking one of the girls on camera not so very long ago. It was all over the magazine covers. Kate has shown herself to be a slap happy narcissist too many times to count.
The Easter Egg Hunt was staged Friday afternoon. Look at the date below each photo on Celebrity-Gossip.

Sorry. You can put the time by the shadows.
Those are bruises and I hope CPS is called out to investigate. They should not be so exposed and the dress is too big.
They lied about the date of they celebrated Easter? What else is new. Everything they've ever done is a lie.

What a disgusting remark. Steve's wife has done nothing to deserve to have you make such a vile accusation.
I'm with all those who say it's just a staged photo opp having the Easter egg hunt out front where it can all be caught be the paparazzi (who were called to be there, anyway). As so many have said, it makes NO sense to not do this kind of stuff on all those acres in the back yard, away from the cameras, if Khate REALLY wants privacy for the kids. I don't know how there can even be anyone left in the world anymore who doesn't realize that Khate constantly uses her kids to get attention for herself.
I also think that the Easter egg hunt might have been on Friday afternoon, since Khate had to fly pack to CA on Saturday. My, how things change - only last June, Khate declared that she will NEVER be away from her kids on a holiday.
One more thing about this staged Easter egg hunt - it was FOR THE NEW SHOW!! I meant to post this here and around the blogs when I discovered it last week, but I never got around to it. When I was posting comments last week that I think that Khate has a Contract that guarantees her she will be on DWTS until April 13th when her book is released, I went to her publisher's website to look for book tour info. I wanted to see if there was a schedule for her book tour which would show that she couldn't be on DWTS and make the book tour dates, making it obvious that it was pre-planned for Khate to be eliminated on next week's show in time to go on the book tour.
Well, I didn't find any info on the book tour yet, but when I checked her Bio on the publisher's website, it said:
Kate Gosselin
Kate Gosselin has the joy, frustration, and honor of raising eight children—twins and sextuplets—in central Pennsylvania. The daily lives of her family were previously chronicled for five seasons on TLC's hit show "Jon and Kate Plus 8." Kate is a sought-after speaker, author of the NY Times bestselling books, Multiple Blessings and Eight Little Faces, and is currently in production on a new show for TLC.
Zondervan website: Kate Gosselin
Aha!! Has anyone noticed this yet?! She is CURRENTLY in production on her new TLC show? Yup, I bet you TLC is filming "Kate plus 8" right now, and probably for the past few weeks (all the DWTS stuff). Actually, they probably began filming again the day after Jon settled with TLC! THAT is why she had a staged Easter egg hunt with the kids all dressed up matchy, matchy, and Khate dressed nicely and wearing heels like a dumbass on her lawn! It was because TLC filmed it all for the new season!
I predict that "Kate Plus 8" will premiere on TLC by some time in May. We'll see footage of Khate leading up to DWTS, "rehearsing" with Tony before the DWTS season began, and then it will follow her experience on DWTS (the whole new angle being she's a "working/single mother"), and then we'll probably see her on her book tour before her "adoring" (delusional) fans. And, of course, we'll see the phony Easter egg hunt very soon! Puke!!
So if the Easter Egg Hunt was being filmed for the new show, where are the cameramen in the shots? Are they cropped out again like they use the photos of the 'sad kids with no dad' when he's standing 10 feet away?
Isn't it very sad that Kate is the only Mother in America that calls in a photographer to capture her kids Easter egg hunt and then publish them in magazines and on ROL. It really is terrible. Pamela Anderson said in her Good Morning America interview that she doesn't let the paparazzi take pictures of her kids. Yes, I am sure that some photos leak out but she nor any other Mother purposefully call them to photograph their children.
