Kate and the kids were out shopping today. Again. With cameras rolling.
This really has become just a total circus. These children have been exploited all summer long. They have barely gotten a chance to enjoy their summer without cameras. They are screaming when they have to go back home to Kate. This can't end soon enough.
194 sediments (sic) from readers:
I'm not one to put a lot of stock in body language but look at these kids today.
Every single one: slumped shoulders, sad faces, bent heads, solemn body language. If a kid looking like that was under my care I'd be immediately asking what's wrong you okay???
I think these kids are 1. exhausted. 2. want their summer back 3. just want to get back in school
Guys the haters are dropping like rocks these past few weeks.
And they're not even talking about these latest photos, at this point they're just pretending they never happened.
There is NO defense of any of this anymore. Even the haters know it!
I don't even know what to say anymore. These poor kids have not had a minutes peace all summer. Just disgusting. At least when there is school hopefully there will be some calm in their lives. I don't wish bad things on anyone but God help Kate some day. I'm convinced that she has no conscious what so ever and couldn't possibly have any feelings for her children. Of course once again Mommy Dearest is dressed like she's ready to hit the streets after the shopping trip. She looks like a groupie for an 80's rock band
ITA, Admin. Something is very wrong with those kids.
THe last week of summer should be a winding down week, so that kids are relaxed and ready to start school in an alert, happy, not exhausted state. Kate will get to sleep in after the first day, as the nannies will take over. The kids won't.
Just when I think I've seen everything that Kate and TLC can inflict on those kids, they come up with another way to abuse them.
And Kate should be aware that she is bulging out of her top, and that this must be embarrassing for the twins.
Who can stop this woman and her enablers?
It makes me so sad to see these pictures. How can a mother DO this to her children? "Specials", my arse! They have been filming just as much as they were before the hiatus!!
Jon, LOOK at your children's faces!!! DO SOMETHING!!!!! This is not just "unconventional"...this is not "they're so used to it, they don't notice it", This is full on raging ABUSE!! Your ex wife is using her role as a mother to justify child abuse. The vacations, fancy house, life experiences don't mean SQUAT if they lose their childhoods in the process. If Kate needs babysitters, boobyguards, and production crews to give the kids "opportunities", then clearly she was absent the day God was handing out motherly instincts!
Enough screwing around, Jon.....strap on a pair and get your kids the hell off of national television!!!!!
I have seen pictures for the last 2 months of the children and Kate..The way Kate been acting and dressing.. IMO she could very well be heading for a BIG MELT DOWN..The children every since their dad left and the divorce have went threw,plus Kate is pushing them to work they look tired,and unhappy...I just can here Kate saying,"Sorry children the show must go on.." I wish Jon had stood by what he started about not filming the children,but he didn't that where I lost the respect for Jon....IMO,Jon/Kate,they are using their children to live off of...
All this "shopping" should have been done last week so that the children could relax and just be "kids" for at least one week of the summer before commencing school. They are living their whole childhood to accommodate the film crew's schedule. Yes, I think the children are ashamed of their trashy mother.
Would one of the multiple nannies please look after Mady and Cara? Their hair is dirty and unkempt, and they haven't changed clothes in a week. God, what is wrong with that woman?
Now people I'm not a fan of Kate Gosselin,but if Jon had stood his ground about not filming the children this wouldn't be happening to the children.. Jon/Kate ,they should be ashamed of their self living off the children.. Kate is to old to dress like she doing,and what is she going to think when her girls dress like a street hooker???
Just when you think she can't possibly look worse. I'm almost embarassed for her! She is making an absolute spectacle of herself in the worst way. At one time, I knew someone just like her, narcissist, and this is exactly how she acted. They truly don't get it and it will only get worse as time goes by. Eventually, the person I knew became unhinged and now resides in a half-way house and her children are paying the price for it. She blew all their money, embarassed them in public and treated them as if they owed her. Interesting that she conceived her children, twins, the same way as Kate through IVF. I see a huge train wreck happening here, how sad for the kids.
Sometimes I really can't believe something like this is happening in 2010.
I thought we had come so far when it comes to children and protecting them.
JEESH!!! Kate's heartless and has a slimy soul. Her kids truly are her POSSESSIONS, not human beings. As far as she's concerned, she's in charge, the kids have to do what she tells them, and there is no changing that.
Until we see more laws put into place protecting
these children, and viewers stop watching Kate Plus Eight, we are going to witness more and more opportunities for Kate to drag those little kids around, while TLC films them. Betcha if Kate was allowed, she would have the kids filmed at school as well.
Kate the snake.....yuk!
IMO!!The abuse from Kate haven't just started it been going on from the get go..Look at J/Kplus8 where Kate took Mady water and drink it in front of Mady..Kate made the children sleep on the hard dirty laundry room floor when they were sick and there no doubt she still does that..I can just imagine what goes on behind close doors..The CPS in Kate state&county,they have seen what going on,and they don't care .....
They've got as much filming in the can as they possibly could before the laws are changed. The assholes at TLC and Kate know it and are doing this deliberately.
Screw Kate. Let the miserable greedy bitch have the biggest breakdown in history - who gives a damn. But those kids are headed for one. THAT is of major concern.
Kate and Steve. He's not holding her purse but he looks just as pussy whipped as ever.
http://celebrity-gossip.net/kate-gosselin/photo/kate-gosselin-1237
The shorts she is wearing are very shiny (you can see them in one of the pics where they are almost metallic).
Her entire outfit looks like she's about to go to a concert in her twenties....to see a heavy metal band!
I live in So Cal. and we have a very diverse population. People dress up, down, and everywhere in between. I've never seen a mom dress like Kate to go shopping. EVER.
It's hot here so lately I've worn halter tops, tanks, etc with shorts and flip flops. If I wore an outfit like Kate's to Target, people would stare....seriously!
OMG - How truly slutty is this woman?
http://celebrity-gossip.net/kate-gosselin/photo/kate-gosselin-1236
Hey!Kate Gosselin call A&E b/c Chris Angel wants you to be a participate in his disappearing act..Well! Jon/Kate Gosselin,They are nothing but the FAMEWHORES..
THese look like kids whose mother is earning $250,000 an episode, being forced to film every spare second of their lives doing the dumbest staged things - heck in real life the nanny buys their clothes online, washes them and puts them in their closets.
Kate wants them to stare--that's the whole point.SHE NEEDS THAT ATTENTION and this is the only way to get it--this is her talent. She says the kids are doing great---HELLO---have you looked at their faces lately-no-she never looks at them as individuals. You can bet she gives the lecture before exiting the van -- FOLLOW ME and I'M IMPORTANT.
mommyinca said... The shorts she is wearing are very shiny (you can see them in one of the pics where they are almost metallic).
========================
I noticed that in one of the photos on Pressi's site too. (I always look at the photos on her site so I don't give INF, Radar or Celebrity Gossip any Gosselin hits.) I thought they were satin. Reminded me of late 1970s disco wear.
Are there really people who will still watch this? What can possibly be entertaining about watching kids shop for back to school stuff? The kids and I have finished most of their back to school shopping and I didn't find it particularly entertaining as I took part in it, much less to sit down and watch it on TV.
Anyone who wastes their life watching this crap anymore needs as much therapy as Kate IMO.
Hey kate---how are the chickens doing? Still have them? Are they alive? Oh that's right, YOU DON'T CARE. The MOST REALIST REALITY SHOW EVER.
"Jon, LOOK at your children's faces!!! DO SOMETHING!!!!!"
=================
Jon's not going to do anything about it. He could have and he didn't. He gave in due to laziness and greed. Most REAL fathers would have fought to the death and chosen to live on the streets before anyone allowed this kind of exploitation to happen to their kids. He's as just disgusting as his ex-wife.
I'm sure Jon's daddy would have been horrified to see his grandchildren treated this way. I wonder if Kate would have dared do this to them if he was still alive.
Foob shot! Everyone drink-- ah, to hell with it.
Just admit they're fake and get it over with. Nobody cares anyway.
I don't watch anymore-too sad for the kids and HATE LISTENING TO HER VOICE. No audio looking at the pics!! We've seen the pics in NYC and Alaska so no need to see them again on the show and have to listen to her---the kids don't get to talk much anymore since kate is talking to the crew most of the time. Are the kids talking more? Do they need the subtitles or is their speech clearer now.......don't know about that.
I know this thread is not about the Duggar,or the Roloff Family and I'm not taking up for Jon/Kate..The Duggar,and the Little People Big World was my favorite ,but I stopped watching any reality show filming the children.. I've seen people post that Jim Bob works,and his wife stays home,and Matt works,Amy works,but still the children do not need to be filmed... Every channel that filming reality shows with the children in it should be banned...
Not all reality families are exploiting their kids. Just like not all parents of child stars exploit their kids. For every Dina Lohan out there, there are many good parents of child stars putting their children first.
The problem is we need laws to protect ALL kids because of the Kate Gosselins out there. The fact that other families are on TV and are not exploiting their kids doesn't mean I'm not concerned about ALL reality TV kids.
Laws or not I think the Roloffs would put their kids first. But because people like Kate Gosselin can't manage to do the same, we need laws that include the Roloffs, the Duggars, the Chapmans, everyone.
Kinda that cliche how one person ruins it for everyone.
Kate the fame whore needs a back brace. Her posture is so bad that her disgusting, deformed right breast is close to being fully exposed in most pictures. Does she think a mutilated breast is sexy?
There's no accounting for Khate's taste in dressing herself. Good lord, that twin on the right looks ready to leap out of that ridiculously low cut shirt. What a lovely example to set for her children.
Have these kids not maxed out their filming time this summer? And is this stuff they are filming supposed to be exciting?? It's all about going shopping. Most people I know are pinching pennies just to get the kids a few things for school. And the school shopping lists are enough to keep you in the red for months to come. In my town, they are having used school uniform drives and handing out free school supplies to the hurting families. Used sneakers at Goodwill are a hot commodity. This is just a blantant show off fest for the can do b*@tch. But at least I can sleep easy at night knowing my kids had a great summer and are excited to go back to school well rested.
If there's anything good that can be said about this it's the fact that they were at the Berkshire Mall, ten minutes away, and were not dragged on another two hour-round trip to Quakertown to film.
Another positive -- school starts on Wednesday and they'll be away from this nonsense ALL DAY, five days a week.
I cannot, for the life of me, understand why she insists on dressing like she belongs on Sixth and Franklin streets in Reading. What in the world possesses her to do this? She must sees how she looks. Do narcissts look at themselves in them in the mirror and in photos and only see perfection, no matter how ridiculous they look to others? Nobody dresses like that here. NOBODY! Even the ladies of the evening have better taste than that! What's wrong with her? She's 35 years old, for Pete's sake and looks like an aging 50-year-old rock band groupie trying to recapture her youth! When you go back and look at the photos of her, especially the family photos she had hanging in the kitchen of the E-town house (the black and white clothing scheme) she looked natural, cute, fresh, and spunky. How could someone have aged that fast in just a few short years and destroyed their looks in the process?
When is she filming for Twisted Kate? Isn't it supposed to premiere soon?
Jon!! Look at your kids! Only you can end this. Do it now, while there's still a chance for these kids to live a normal life!
I only hope it's not too late.
Hot In PA said... I cannot, for the life of me, understand why she insists on dressing like she belongs on Sixth and Franklin streets in Reading. What in the world possesses her to do this?
============================
Attention possesses her to do this. The more online photos, comments, stares from people the better in her twisted mind. She's very happy with negative attention as long as it's attention. If she dresses like a normal mom, not nearly as much attention for it and she knows it.
So did they basically try to cram enough filming in over the summer to get a year's worth of specials?
I'm sorry, but what the SH*T does she have on her feet today? She looks AWFUL!!! It just gets worse!!!
How to NOT look like a hooker in pleather shorts, gladiator sandles and with your boobs hanging out? Surround yourself with 8 innocent children. TLC's actually teaching us something! (SNARK!)
Kate wears those heels because she has short, stumpy legs and she's under the impression that high (the higher the better) heels will make her legs look longer and slim. The problem is, heels, especially black, that come up to the ankles and wearing them with a short skirt make the legs look shorter. All she’s doing is accentuating her stumpy legs. But then Kate's an idiot.
If Kate is going to go braless she should at least wear a top that isn't loose and flowing because her boobs are just flopping to and fro and the very low cut, weightless fabric allows far to much exposure (especially for the filming of a "family oriented" TV program). Kate is absolutely without class.
If Kate wouldn't part her hair so far to the left, she wouldn't have that big flap falling in her face constantly. And can't she shampoo it by herself? Doesn’t she have a large enough staff to take care of seeing that the kids have clean hair? Kate is lazy.
I’m no defender of Jon’s, but I do think he’s the better of the two parents. What a sad thing to say when you think of a father of 8 sitting around tweeting about Butt Paste. When the court mandated he pay Kate $20,000 a month in child support, how was he to get that kind of money? Should he have stood his ground and continued to refuse to let his kids be filmed? Yes, in the perfect world of voyeuristic strangers who have nothing but opinions to offer and nothing to lose. I believe TLC was suing him at the time, right? What was he facing if he continued to refuse - - a lawsuit and the inability to make his child support payments? Does that entail jail time? He’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but what were his choices? TLC are the bad guys here, making hundreds of millions off the Gosselins.
Now as far as anyone thinking that all this fast and furious blogging doesn’t help the ratings for Kate+8, you need a serious reality check. Approximately two weeks before the next “special,” pictures start showing up on the gossip pages every time. Chris the Pap obviously is in on it because he starts running around grabbing shots right on schedule. The Kate-haterz go apeshit and the drama continues. It all contributes to the curiosity factor which is good for ratings, and then there are those who just love hating Kate and can’t wait to hate her some more by watching her on TV.
TLC is playing us and I say US because I’ve am GUILTY as well, so there’s no need to come out with the typical defense you all like to use when your complicity is mentioned. If Kate would admit she’s a narcissistic attention whore that would be the first step in working on her problem. Will she? No way. If the bloggers would admit they can’t stop reading and blogging about Kate that would be the first step toward ending Kate’s run on TV. Will we? Doubtful. Sad but true. Yep, TLC is playing us. We should start a 12 step program about ending this merry-go-round instead of being TLC’s enablers. Just a heartfelt suggestion. I’m off now for some Kate-free time. I’m hoping it will be a very long time.
I just watched a preview of the next episode where they are in New York during the heat wave. It was a clip of Hannah saying something like: I don't even care anymore, it's too hot.
She dresses like that because she's filming & because she thinks it looks "Hollywood". Uh, no Kate. You're in desperate need of a stylist. With all of your kids money, why don't you get one? Do you read InStyle or Glamour? I do. I know what's in style. I wear what's in style. How about some summer-y, laid back, cool-looking mom clothes? You don't have to wear "mom-jeans" (YUCK), but there are so many nice looking outfits & shops she could buy her clothes in. She thinks she looks hot. She thinks she looks hip. She is so wrong. She looks desperate for attention and cheap. Right off the bat, trade up the shirt for a nice tank top that will cover the girls, trade up the skirt for a pair of dark washed jeans or jean capri's, or skinny jeans, and maybe a pair of ballet flats or sandals. Or how about a summer-y looking sundress? I live in those. Knee length for her because long would make her look stumpy. That would look nice & put together. It ain't hard!! She is obsessed with looking Hollywood and she is NOT nor will she EVER be a star.
Hippie chick, I'm right there with ya. Kate is trying to hard and she looks ridic.
Gabby as IMO -- WOW! Didja think we wouldn't recognize you?
The older girls are wearing the same clothes as yesterday except one changed her top. Does this woman make sure that them kids are washing themselves? They appear dirty
We were watching "Whale Wars" the other night and a commercial for the next special came on. After it ended, my husband said, "she's the kind of woman who looks good from far, and far from good."
Think about it.
Does this idiot even realize that Cara is wearing the same outfit from yesterday? She makes sure she is all dressed like a HOOKER but doesn't even check if her kids have clean clothes. The girls hair looks messy and uncombed so you know TLC only sent the camera crew this time and no extra interns to fix her kids hair. Lord only knows she is too lazy to do it
It looks like she bought a whole new wardrobe just to go school shopping in. Wonder if they will go shopping again tomorrow? Doesn't school start there on Monday? Maybe she'll let them have one day off!!! She's probably going to leave to go to LA soon for her Emmy fiasco. I wonder if she will walk the red carpet!! I hope she does and I hope the fashion police have no mercy on her!!!
I have not commented for awhile now,because I am beyond words for this mess.I am furious that TLC would treat children this way and get by with it.
Kate dresses like a street walker, acts like a bitch, is in love with her bodyguard, spends money like she just got her weekly allowance and treats her children like crap.
And then there is Jon.....I personally am as angry and fed up with him as much as Kate.
How can a father sit on the sideline and let his children be destroyed by a TV network and famewhore mother, without putting up a good fight?
IMO...Jon likes it this way. He likes sleeping in,playing video games,tweeting all day about butt creme, having no responsibilty, except bringing his kids over for a swim and pizza once in awhile.
Then take them back to they mentally disturbed mother and wonder how you can spend the rest of your boring day and life.
Jon...how in hell do you sleep at night? You had your chance to be a hero to,not only your children but to millions of people that have always been on your side.
I use to be one of those people, but I'm done with you too Jon.
You just don't fit that hero bill any longer.
Filming on a Saturday!!!!!! TLC getting a little desperate now that the kids are heading back to school to film on a weekend? When do these kids go back? Where I live they start on the 30th od August and I'm only 2 hours away from this pea brain.
I don't know of any mother who will let thier child where the same clothes 2 days in a row!
Just says to me she doesn't put in the actual energy and effort it takes to parent her children.
OMG, you have got to be kidding me!!!!! I just hopped on here, thinking there is no way there are going to be more pics of filming.
As for my kids, I made it a point to have a fun weekend, but a bit more laid back to get them ready for school again. They don't need alot of stress right before school starts!!!
Those poor, poor kids. I've never felt more sorry for them. She has totally sold them out for every penny she can get. Karma will come back to get her, I just wish it would happen sooner rather than later.
So now that they're filming on the weekends too, does this mean during the school year they will have to go to school all week them film all weekend?
What if the twins have homework, sports, or just want to hang out with friends?

*****
Yes.
What happy-looking children in that first photo, especially.
Very sad, indeed.
I was going to say that maybe Mady and Cara were in the same clothes for 'continuity purposes' BUT that would be an invalid point since Kate's busting out in different skankwear today.
She (Kate) becomes more disgusting by the minute, doesn't she?
Judy-excellent post, btw.
All the photos are like this, they are not smiling in a single photo.
Sometimes sheeple will find the one phoot with Jon where they are not smiling but the rest they looked thrilled. I don't pull crap like that, these ARE the photos the kids look sad in ALL OF THEM.
Matchy-Matchy, Little girls must be matchy-matchy.
It doesn't take a body-language expert to see how miserable these kids are when they are working. They didn't apply for a job or ask to be TLC employees.
Maybe Mady and Cara are refusing to dress alike?
I hope so.
I never watch anymore, at all.
However, today, I was watching TV and an ad for their new shoe came on.
It showed one of the girls exclaiming that it was just so hot! (The NY trip)
Remember how we were all talking about how very dangerously hot and humid it had been on the East Coast during that filming? The kids can't last too much longer, as they will be saying things that she can't control.
I normally like to read all the posts before posting myself to avoid a duplicate reaction, but OMG, these kids LOOK MISERABLE in each and every picture...my heart is breaking for these little kids...they are BABIES forced to work to support their whore of an excuse for a mother. I don't see that this is much different from human trafficking except that it's not sexual. It's still ABSOLUTE ABUSE. I personally can't take much more of this and I'm not even involved except as a spectator.
I looked at that link posted here and checked out all the back to school shopping photos.
It's only a matter of time before the bellybutton meets the chest.
You know, she didn't pick the best of surgeons, really.
Sometimes I really can't believe something like this is happening in 2010.
I agree. Just when I think these kids will get a break they are seen working again. How can ANYBODY say they are just playing and living their lives?
And P.S. ~ TLC is broadcasting that these episodes will be on each Monday night, beginning the 30th. I feel relatively certain that all this filming is being done because Twisted Kate will never happen. I HATE you Kate Gosselin--you are a heartless BITCH, and I also HATE your enabler, TLC.
As for her posture, everyone woman I've known that has gone out and gotten a boob job tends to hunch over later b/c they can't handle the extra weight. True sign of fake ones, but we all knew that anyway.
Those children look so miserable. I feel so sorry for them having to work for a living that young. They are carrying all those bags while mommy dearest just carries her chest around. And is it just me or do the kids look skinnier and sickly looking? The girls' arms look so skinny like they have no muscle or meat on them. I know she only feeds them scraplets of organic food, but they look too thin to be healthy to me. Poor kids. Probably don't get much sleep either. Cara looks seriously depressed. We all know she holds her feelings inside, unlike Mady. I hope they have enough saved for counseling.
Judy Excellent post, If it really bothered Jon I think he would put a stop to it although I realize he don't know the whole story. Hippie Chick I agree with your assessment that she probably thinks she looks very Hollywood but who the hell in Hollywood look that bad? Even Amy Whinehouse and Courtney Love looks better. One would think that with the 250k that she is reportedly being paid that the suits at TLC would intervene and tell her this isn't exactly the type of image we want you to portray. I guess I'm kind of puzzled by that. I would think June Cleaver(sorry June) would be more up their alley.
Ugh....Kate is surrounded by MEN all the time and she wears these hoochie shirts that either accentuate her breast size, or just flat out let the girls hang out. I think she does this purposefully to get their tongues wagging.
But good lord look at her. I mean REALLY look at her. She looks exactly like a man with implants and wearing women's clothing. She resembles Alexis Arquette in that top photo.
It sooooooo ridiculous
http://celebrity-gossip.net/kate-gosselin/photo/kate-gosselin-1227
Look at body language. Kate's head is down like she knows she has guilt for treating her children this way.
Then look at fierce Mady up FRONT where the protector should be, holding her sister's hand. I think that will end up being Mady's role in the family, the protector. Cause mom sure isn't going to be.
JudyK said... my heart is breaking for these little kids...they are BABIES forced to work to support their whore of an excuse for a mother.
===========================
Don't forget, Judy, they also get to support their father. If he's collecting a TLC paycheck, it's only because he's allowing his kids to work while he does nothing.
You know a friend of mine mentioned the kids wearing the same clothes over and over, as some of you have mentioned. I looked at the series of pix. Wow
Little Cara has worn the same style white shorts on 8/17, 18, 19, 20 and today 21st. She has worn the same
style blk sleeveless shirt the 17th, 20th and today 21st.
Mady wore the fringy jeans skirt on 8/19, 20 and today 21st. Mady also wore what appears to be the same jean skirt without the fringy stuff two days 8/17 and the 18th. A kate fan said "haven't you ever bought duplicates on sale?" Sure I have, but normally in different colors or patterns. I am not wealthy, but am very comfortable. But come on, 5 of ONE color and ONE style? Really?
This woman knows they will photographed, she is all "glammed up" each time they go out. WHY let the kids wear the same thing for days on end? I didn't even check the tups, this made me angry enough. If she cares so damn much about appearances, why not dress these kids or have them change the look, color, style or something. I don't get this at all.
How can this be defended? She clearly doesn't care, and doesn't notice what they wear.
Going through some more old episodes for the Flashbacks, I watched the very first episode for the first time since it first came out.
The kids were about 12 months old. Kate says naptime is 12:30PM to 4:00PM. Are three and a half hour naps NORMAL??? To anyone who had babies, was this your routine? This seems like way too much napping. And as we all know she continued the lengthy naps for years and years.
Moreoever when Kate explained it she was all happy to get "mommy time."
"I don't know of any mother who will let thier child where the same clothes 2 days in a row!
8888888888888
I do. If their clothing is still clean and stain-free, and it's their favorite shirt or shorts, why not? Why make extra laundry? As long as the kids still look clean and neat, I see no reason to make them wear another outfit.
Plus...if they're filming, and they want to make sure there's continuity...that is, make it appear that the episodes were shot in the same day, production will do this.
Hannah's hair is finally cut. Looks cute.
Lolly -- She doesn't really notice those details about her kids.
I personally have a relative who, when younger, was very self-absorbed (still is) but back then, she also had babysitters, cleaning woman, laundry help, etc...
One of the babysitters had to just take the initiative one day and say "Look, your daughter really needs new shoes. I just can't cram her feet into those baby shoes anymore. (This is when they wore the white, leather baby shoes.) The relative actually needed this reminder, because to her it was something on her list that she had to attend to; but she was so busy with herself she kept putting it off.
Seriously, that's how these self-centered mothers are. All of the details are left up to someone else.
Jon/Kate,They are disgusting...So what sheesh gabby ??? I'm using IMO here...
Admin, I have never had a child or grandchild that slepp that long. 2 a 3 hour nap was a luxury for me when it did happen. Except when they were very little/before they walked. I remember her saying that. She had a hella break during the day. She had help with laundry too, at the least the folding and ironing. Not sure about cleaning and nannies then. That was one reason why I wondered how she could be SO exhausted by the time Jon came home. Heck take a nap, if you are THAT exhausted during those 3 1/2 hours. They put them to bed at 7 didn't they? So that only left really a few hours in the am, and 3 at night.
"The shorts she is wearing are very shiny (you can see them in one of the pics where they are almost metallic)."
--------
I laughed out loud when I saw those shorts. Back in the early 80s, I had the pants version of those...exactly the same, right down to the belt and shiny fabric. Of course I was a young, hip chick at that time. Are those things back in fashion again?
Julianna, rarely have I left kids wear things twice in a row, but I have done it. NEVER 5 days.However I am not filmed and photographed when we go out. Put your best foot forward I would think if one is a "celebrity". And on the days I gave, there was no issue of continuity. If that were the case, Kate would have the same outfit on.
In answer to why not let the kids wear the same clothes the next day, etc...
I don't know anyone who really does that.
Let's say, you are vacationing at a lake, and the kids can put on the same beach cover-up or something like that -- I think most people do that.
As for myself, when my kids were little, I did not have an extra dollar; but my kids wore fresh, clean clothes each day, no exceptions.
An adult can get away with pulling on a pair of jeans from yesterday, for instance; but the difference is that children play so hard and run and jump and get stains and drip drinks and spill food on their clothing. Thus, a new outfit really is necessary each day.
@Betsy...When do these kids go back? Where I live they start on the 30th od August and I'm only 2 hours away from this pea brain.
The 26th. Not soon enough for the kids.
Markiesnana I was really shocked when i saw this. Kate has ALWAYS in the past, dressed these kids up, matching yes, but I rarely saw a time when they did not look cute. That I will give her. But there is a noticable change. I can see where it matches your friend. I always look at my grandkids and make sure they look nice before going out. And make them change if they don't LOL IMO
Jon did everything in the morning, even bringing Kate coffee in bed. She rolled out of bed after 8am, her children were already all awake and just by themselves waiting for mom to finally greet the morning.
Basically she has to do breakfast for the babies, and lunch for everyone. Then the kids go down for their four hour naps and when Jon gets home from work he takes over again.
Seriously, she had to do breakfast and lunch. That's it. No wonder Jon couldn't take it anymore.
All I can say about her attire for filming purposes is "Wow...just wow."
Something IS seriously wrong with her.
This is off topic, but I'm beginning to see how she was able to carry 6 babies to 30 weeks and they were all healthy. Look at her body shape. She is straight up and down with no waist. No curves. Her anatomy looks like it is structurally more sturdy to hold 6 babies. On the other hand, Jenny Masche has a little bit of a waist and she had a harder time
keeping her 6 in.
Kate could probably carry 10 babies the way her torso is just one straight line and looks like it would expand in all directions easier than a woman who has hips and curves.
"When the court mandated he pay Kate $20,000 a month in child support, how was he to get that kind of money?"
*****=====*****
His attorney stated (on Nancy Grace and perhaps elsewhere...I lost track of everything List was saying) that TLC pays him $5,000 a month. He also got cash from the sale of the house, and perhaps had some residuals left from various other paid appearances. List also said that the money is going to run out. He can't keep paying that amount forever. He's got to be scraping the bottom by now.
There were warning signs from THE FIRST EPISODE. There really were. It's facinating to watch it in hindsight knowing where this was going.
TLC is a typical, heartless corporation that only cares about dollars. Their show about a neurotic, frazzled housewife blew up in their faces as the truth about the greedy grifters slowly emerged. Kate has about 100 fans left, and lots of people who care about the children and want them off the air. So now who does TLC exploit, along with the children? Us. They want us pissed off. They want us riled up. That's why Kate is off the leash. To piss us off and get us to watch the show. Why show a commercial with Hannah complaining it's too hot? They could have edited that, or saved it for the show. No, they want us so outraged that we'll keep coming back for more evidence against this bitch. They know she's a worthless, ignorant, low-class, slut and a shameless liar. They don't care. She brings in the viewers, and no one cares if you love her or hate her, as long as you're there, watching TLC, talking about the Kate + 8 commercials, talking about the next show. They are watching us, listening to us, and responding with more outrageous stunts to keep us glued to the TV. It won't work with me. Please don't let it work with you. For the sake of those little kids, please don't watch TLC. Hit them in the pocketbook. It's the only way to strike back at them. Please.

I remember when I used to watch and shaking my head about those looooong naps for those kids. In addition, as was mentioned, they would be put to bed by about 7. I remember one time they were in the basement (movie night?) and she announced that they were all going to bed right away. Jon protested saying that it was only 6:30, and she didn't care.
He used to get up and tend to them in the a.m. I remember when the little ones were going to go to kindergarten Jon made the comment that he would need her to get up and help him if they were all getting ready to go off to school.
Most babies, even if they do sleep through the night, during the first year, will take another nap sometimes around mid-morning. Then, after running/toddling around, they will need an afternoon nap. Mostly you can get them to sleep for an hour or sometimes even 1.5 or two hours, and I would consider that a BIG nap!
As far as what I could see on those early episodes, those kids were simply "captives" once she put them in for a nap. They had no recourse. I also remember when Aunt Jodie would take the kids each Friday a.m. and babysit them to give Kate a break. Then she would give them lunch, return them, as they only lived about 7 houses away, and Kate would usher them right upstairs to bed.
I'm not saying that she didn't need a break with all of those kids around, just that there were always people to help, and the naps were just confinement after the needed sleep was concluded.
I could care less if Kate has a BIG MELT DOWN..I could care less if she ran in the streets naked..Kate looks like a cheap hooker..Jon, I've lost respect b/c he let TLC filmed the children where he can live off of them just like Kate doing.. Jon could take his nooodle asno self and find a job..Puta Face Kate could go back to her old job and stop all this with the children,but the $$$$and the celeb wannabe have took over their life...
Maybe the kids' naptime was 12:00-3:30, but that doesn't mean they were sleeping the whole time. She left them in their rooms whether they were sleeping or not. That came out somehow or other during the shows. Six babies wouldn't all sleep for the same amount of time. LOL
Shame, you really have hit it square in the nose. I quit watching long ago, my new station is Bravo and HGTV. And you are right, why on earth leave in little Mady saying on the one episode that no one cared about her she should just die?? What kind of mother and network let THAT stay on film? Someone asked Jon about that on Twitter....he IGNORED the question.

I couldn't stand her the minute she opened her mouth in the first episode. And with that goofy little hair barrette she wore and awful make-up, I also knew from day one she had zero style sense. Nothing's changed.
well it is obvious Kate pays/calls on paps, because for someone who is a half a$$/ no talent celebrity, she sure manages to have her pictures out there EVERYDAY. Dang it, even Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts, and many more REAL famous, actually talented actors and actresses manage to stay out of the spotlight everyday. And more importantly they keep their kids lives very low profile.
Kate makes her desperation to keep her extra 15 minutes obvious. She NEEDS paps to keep her fame/controversies up front, because she has nothing else to offer. It is sad that the kids are being dragged in her mess, so she can be the celebrity that in her head she thinks she is!
It not TLC fault it Kate/Jon fault...Kate/Jon signed a contract and nobody twisted their arms to sign them...TLC could stop it but their in business to make money,and all the reality families are for it b/c their children are their cash cows..
I can remember my kids having "favorite" items of clothing that they would insist on wearing day after day. It was horribly embarrassing, because it made me look like a neglectful mom. But the truth is, kids DO get dirty, and I washed those "favorite" outfits every night so they'd be ready for the next day.
Do I think for a minute that Kate is doing this? No. I think she is probably unaware and too busy dressing herself to have time to worry about the kids.
Penny -- Don't giver her any ideas about those 10 kids......
Hannah probably poooped in her unnawears during a time she was locked in the room for a 3 1/2 nap. Poor thing probably sat in her feces for hours until her mother decided to check on them. No wonder it was all over the place.
I thank God that the cameras were there to save little Hannah's hide that day. Kate's meltdown would've been much bigger than what we saw.
"It's only a matter of time before the bellybutton meets the chest."

It think that it already has.
Lolly said: "Little Cara has worn the same style white shorts on 8/17, 18, 19, 20 and today 21st. She has worn the same
style blk sleeveless shirt the 17th, 20th and today 21st."
I had a little discussion with my daughter about wearing the same shorts every day. We solved the problem. She found white shorts and denim shorts that she really, really liked and were the perfect fit. She's tall and slim and the fit is always a problem. We bought four pair of the white shorts, and three pair of the denims. Same style, same color. Although it looks like she's wearing the same pair every day, she's not. The shorts are clean. She's happy, and so am I!
Jon, I know you're out there. Do you see your little girls, Mady and Cara? Do you see how at the tender age of NINE, Cara is already taking on the role of mother to those emotionally neglected little kids? Do you see how tiny, bright little Mady has had to take over your job as protector? That's your job, Jon. These are little girls. They are not equipped for these roles. Everyone can see how depressed Cara is. Why can't you? Everyone can see how Mady had to throw herself between her mother and the other kids to protect them, even when you were in the house. Can you see any of this? How can you still be afraid of that yippy little shrew? She can't cut you off any longer. She can't legally keep your kids from you. What's your problem? Do you hear Kate telling those tiny boys to man up? Why don't you man up and protect them from her? What's your excuse, Jon? You're a father. Act like one.
I think Car's problems go a lot deeper than liking a certain style of shorts. Look at her!
Markiesnana said...
In answer to why not let the kids wear the same clothes the next day, etc...
but the difference is that children play so hard and run and jump and get stains and drip drinks and spill food on their clothing. Thus, a new outfit really is necessary each day.
Kate doesn't allow her kids to play hard or get dirty.
Every once in a while I have to wonder if a plant comes on here just to rile people up even more than they already are.
You're right, Boston. :)
Eyes Wide Open As long as you both are happy. I have never seen anyone do that, but each his own. BUT as I said, none of us, (I don't think) are photographed everytime we walk out the door, nor filmed often. I would think even you, Eyes, would want to project a much better impression than wearing the same style and color for 4 or 5 days out of the week? We really can't compare our life to Kate's, because she is out there in the public eye. And I am sure most of us are not.
But think about how Kate USED to dress them all up so cute. Matching and pretty well dressed. This is a BIG difference in just a little over a year.
"Their show about a neurotic, frazzled housewife blew up in their faces as the truth about the greedy grifters slowly emerged. Kate has about 100 fans left, and lots of people who care about the children and want them off the air."
***********
Has someone counted the sheeple (during a night of insomnia?). Wasn't there someone who said there were only a dozen left?
Cara is the one I worry about the most. She holds things in way too much, as anyone who has watched the show knows. Little Mady and ALexis do NOT hold it, I think they will turn out ok, damaged, but ok more than Cara or even Collin or Joel.
They've actually been shopping for three days. The first day wasn't filmed, the other two were filmed.
Guess they didn't get enough footage for a full episode from day one so they had to drag the kids out for another day of filming.
Shame ,amen Jon with his noodle self should be ashamed of himself for letting TLC film the children again... I wouldn't care if I went to jail or had to sleep outside I would have stood my ground for my children..Puta Face Kate don't care about the children..I can here her tell the children,"The show must go on,and even your dad said the same thing.."
If someone consented to TLC filming them murdering someone, is only the murderer at fault? You wouldn't hold TLC at fault for that at all?
TLC is at fault here. They are an active participant. Just because your job is to film things and make money doesn't mean you throw morals out the windows. Lots of jobs have ethical standards. Lawyers do, for one. As do doctors. And even if a professional doesn't have an ethics code, how about basic human rights?
Kate is at fault, Jon is at fault, TLC/Discovery is at fault. They are ALL at fault. TLC gets no free pass from me just because their job is to make money.
I think Jon, in his little immature mind, really thinks the money he is accepting is really Kate's and he won't work, so he doesn't have to pay her. In the divorce the way the lawyer talked, ALL of Jon's settlement out of the divorce, equity in the house, some monies that were joint, was all put into an escrow fund, that ALL would be paid back to Kate. at 20K a month LOL So she loses nothing in that deal. Jon won't work until he HAS to. Easy to sell the kids again. Jon is just like Kate in so many ways.
Admin well said. TLC makes their "stars" sign a morals clause. But TLC should be exempt from any morals?
Cara and Mady wearing the same bottoms and tops is because their mother is too lazy to see that they need clothes and washed ones at that. Mady has been wearing that skirt 4 days in a row and I can guarantee you they have not been washed. The girls hair although shorter and cuter style looks like they rolled out of bed without combing it. She use to take such good care when they were younger in putting them in clean clothes, now not so much, its all about her. Has anyone seen the pics of her on Celebrity Gossip? Her damm hooters are popping out!
I'm just glad my mother didn't dress like that when I was a kid. I'm glad my father worked to support me when I was a kid. I'd be taking a leak on my parents graves today if they treated me like that when I was a kid.
Where is Mrs. Cleaver when you need her?
Kate isn't holding her head down because of a guilty conscience. Sociopaths have no conscience. This picture is taken after she had to spend time in a store with 8 kids. Her brow is furrowed and she's PISSED that she had to spend time with those kids to collect her paycheck. She's not even pretending to care about those kids any more, (except in that phony, saccharine blog someone writes for her.) The kids are wrecks, 99% of the people who know of her, hate her, and she doesn't give a s***.
Ugh! Too many photos of Kate using her kiddies for fame- I can't possibly hate her more!
By the way TLC, if anything, I think that all this overexposure of Kate & kids is going to alienate more and more viewers. Very few people are still willing to support this vile woman. The majority of the viewing public would rather eat furniture than watch her antics.
And as for the latest pics of Kate- my goodness,
for a 35 year old Christian woman, she sure knows how to show off the low riding boobies that her kids paid for. Braless no less! She's neither cute, or sexy. She looks rather rough, and man-ish. With her boob job that is hanging rather low, and her belly button that is riding rather high, I'm afraid that pretty soon they're going to trade places. As far as her man-ish qualities; I've seen men that are absolutely BEAUTIFUL in drag-
and they are 10,000 time more feminine than Kate. She just looks horrible; a big, tough, messy, confused, abusive, selfish, angry & bitter middle-age man in drag...
Ha, I was just over at Celebrity Gossip and found this, I hadn't seen it Along with Steve driving the van and as soon as the camera crew pulled in, Kate jumped in the drivers seat. LOLOL
She was quoted:
"We not only returned [to Bald Head Island] this year, but also hope to return each year and have decided to make this our Gosselin summer tradition ... To match our many Gosselin winter traditions. To me, there is nothing like a well-made tradition to help us reflect on the years past as well as project forward to the years ahead!"
She added, "Thanks Bald Head Island for providing the rest, relaxation and connection this family -- as well as so many other families we've had the privilege of meeting here -- needs year after year after year!"
THis gave me a great laugh. You mean traditions as in the things you really don't do anymore, unless TLC pays for it? LOL
I don't know what has happen to Kate, she use to take good care of the children..Kate looks like she been rode over and over..I've seen pictures of Kate when she was pregnant with the 6,and she looked real young,but today she looks like she aged 25 years in a period of 6 year...
SheeshGabby: I knew too.
"I would think even you, Eyes, would want to project a much better impression than wearing the same style and color for 4 or 5 days out of the week?"
=================
LOL!! What is that supposed to mean..."even you?" Isn't it amazing that NOT ONE person has commented to me or to my daughter that she's wearing the same shorts day after day? CPS hasn't been called. The fashion police haven't appeared at our door. It's summer. White shorts are generic...worn day after day. It has nothing to do with "projecting" an image. It's about having healthy and happy kids enjoying their summer, being kids, making memories, even if it means wearing the same style and color shorts for much of the summer, alternating white and denim. I've seen boys in the neighborhood wear jeans every day of their lives. Bet they must have horrible mothers for allowing them to do that...just think of the negative image those moms are projecting by allowing their sons out in public wearing jeans!!
By the way, on weekends when she's modeling for a fashion agency (and we buy the clothing she wears), she's the proverbial fashion statement.
Everyone in her private school wears khaki shorts or slacks five days a week. I hope other mothers wash those khakis regularly, but we'll never know because they're worn every day of the week!
What in the world did I just see on TLC? A woman squirming around on the floor having a "no touch" orgasm? Have they no shame at all? I guess if they can exploit children, there is nothing that they won't stoop to.
I'm beyond disgusted.
Kelly, you're the best!
Eyes: Eh, Nevermind.
Moose Mania: You're watching TLC. How can you be surprised?
I'm surprised anyone watches TLC anymore. It's all trash.
@ Must Love...Mady has been wearing that skirt 4 days in a row and I can guarantee you they have not been washed.
-----------
How can you "guarantee" that "they" have not been washed? I wouldn't think that the nanny who does the laundry would disclose this! Does a denim skirt need to be washed every time it's worn? Mine sure doesn't! These aren't kids who roll around in the dirt and get grass stains. It would be a different story if they were...
She's impossible to miss, crackheadgabby!
I think Kate and her handlers read all the blogs. Before everyone was saying she dressed the kids all matchy matchy, so now they never even look neatly put together. I feel so sorry for them. Then people were talking about Hannah's hair, now it's all cut off. So yeah, she claims to not care what people say, but she tries to answer in her own inimitable way.
"Moose Mania: You're watching TLC. How can you be surprised?"
I'm having problems with my television reception since we went to all digital. I was on the phone with the cable company and they asked me to check how many channels were having a problem with the signal. I flipped to TLC, but to my dismay, this was the one channel that was coming through loud and clear...with moaning and groaning. I thought an adult porn channel was coming through by mistake and I was ready to give the cable channel a piece of my mind (or what's left of it).
Hey Lolly :o) Of course "do it all Kate" jumped in the drivers seat for filming purposes. They don't want the viewers to see that Steve is "more" than her bodyguard. He's her new male slave-just the way she likes it. Let's see: he's her friend of many years, bodyguard/constant companion, probably her confidant as well, her kids babysitter, purse holder, advisor, etc... He must be earning a FORTUNE doing all the work he does for her, huh?
If Kate wasn't such a bully & pushy broad, I say that Steve is her Svengali.
Moose-utilize the up/down channel button on your remote STAT!!
I wonder what Kate's Christian Publishing Company Zondervan is thinking about their ethereal (not sure if that's the right word for how they made her up for the cover of her last flopped book) girl's wardrobe this week?
Quite the 180, eh Zondersham?
Quick, someone post more pictures of Kate. The conversation is deteriorating into discussing the kids dirty clothes.
Isn't there enough crap about Kate you can dissect without dragging the kids into it?
No one knows if those clothes have been washed or not! Doesn't Kate have nannies? Maybe they wash every day and the kids pick out what's on top of the pile!!
Besides, Mady has two denim skirts, one with a straight edge and one with fringe or is ragged on the bottom.
@up and Down and whatever, The kid wore that yesterday, the day before that and the day before that..Gosselin in the older days would have not allowed that, guess she is too busy stroking her hair a 100x's, applying makeup, picking out the right outfit for Chris Watts to care how many times in a week her kids wash and change. That skirt is wrinkled and needs to be retired, the kid has worn it most of the summer.
"Where is Mrs. Cleaver when you need her?
She's with Harriet Nelson, having their pearls restrung.
You know, it just occured to me that if I were to pass Kate Gosselin in a store, I would hear some kind of orchestra playing. Even if she didn't say a single word, there would be the clomp, clomp, clomp of her shoes, there would be the chomp, chomp, chomp of her gum, there would be the flop, flop, flop of her mammaries, and there would be the sniff, sniff, sniff of her nose in the air.
By the way, not dishing on the kid, just making an observation. If she didn't want the kids discussed than keep them off the cameras and stop calling Chris..same for Jon. You think its bad now about discussing this girls dirty skirt, wait till her peers get a hold of her
To anyone who thinks that the kids are wearing freshly laundered clothes, even though you've noticed the duplicate clothing -- do you remember that episode where Kate was throwing stuff down the stairs from Mady and Cara's room?
(complaining about their messy room) I think she made the comment that she didn't know how bad it was because she hadn't been up there in months. (paraphrasing here, because I haven't watched them in a long time)
Eyes Wide Open, I am so sorry but you took that totally out of context. I have no idea why you are going about the fashion police etc. Why would anyone say anything about you and your daughter? Are you a reality star that with a show that focuses on your kids? Photographed and filmed whenver you go out in public? Kate is, BIG difference. IF I were I surely would care a great deal what my kids wore. I do now, but would MORE so if I were in the public eye.
There's something really strange about Kate's hooker attire. I think Steve is dressing her now. Maybe he buys her shoes, tells her how fantastic she looks and Kate is brainwashed into thinking that dressing like this will make him leave his wife. She's missing the leather spiked collar and whip.

"You think its bad now about discussing this girls dirty skirt, wait till her peers get a hold of her"
At least her peers will have an excuse, they're children.
Hi Kelly,
On the other thread you made a great suggestion that people should start calling the show's sponsors to object to their role in supporting child exploitation.
I will take your suggestion one step further. If there are any good souls who are passionate enough about helping the children and who live close to the shoe store that was closed to allow TLC to film Kate and the kids shoe shopping, it would be very powerful for even 1 person to stand outside that store with a sign that reads:
STRIDE RITE (or whatever the name of the store is) SUPPORTS CHILD EXPLOITATION
A few well-placed calls to local newspapers or news channels might result in a bit of media coverage. And if no media shows up, a friend with a camera taking some photos or video of the little protest would suffice. The video could be posted on Youtube, or photos could be submitted or distributed to various online sites.
NO business wants any kind of bad publicity. These mini protests/photo ops could take place in front of all the companies that continue to advertise on or support Kate Plus Eight. The beauty of this type of warfare is that it only takes a few minutes and a few people to accomplish the goal of publicizing a company's involvement in the Gosselin circus. If nothing else, it might give some of these companies pause about supporting TLC's continued exploitation of these children.
"That skirt is wrinkled and needs to be retired..."
If that skirt (or skirts) make her happy, let her wear them every day. The kids has so little in her young life that brings her pleasure. She's got a narcissistic mom, she's the child of divorced parents who squabble, with the dad not even being allowed on the property, she has cameras and film crew invading her world, she's dragged all over the country during the summer when she should be enjoying what every young girl does in the summer -- playing with friends, making memories, having swim parties.
Let her wear the darn denim skirt. It's her right, and quite possibly the ONLY thing she has the freedom to do.
"Let her wear the darn denim skirt. It's her right, and quite possibly the ONLY thing she has the freedom to do."
Amen, Moose Mania.
"STRIDE RITE (or whatever the name of the store is) SUPPORTS CHILD EXPLOITATION'
---------
I think that a protest by even one person requires a permit, does it not?
Please move on from discussing the children's clothes. They are the ones being exploited.
Hey guys, enough with the skirt!!!!!!!! There is a new post on ROL and a very dramatic exchange of the kids occurred Michael Jackson Style...Must Read
Ahhh.... Harriet Nelson. Ward Cleaver..... Stalwarts in a sea of innocence when reality television was merely the NBC Nightly News or a daytime game show called "Let's Make a Deal".
Monty Hall and his audience of people dressed like Bats wearing clown shoes and holding signs saying "PICK ME" could never match up to Kate Gosselin wearing hooker shoes, dressed like a hood rat at a truck stop looking to make quick cash.
It could be hilarious if it was just Kate dressed like this trying to garner publicity shots and staying relevant. It's not funny because she dresses like this, acts like that but keeps her innocent kids in tow.
The demise of this show will be forthcoming as the audience is quickly going away. The unfortunate reality of this so called "Reality" is the internet and the children will forever have these "Memories" with every Google hit. They will be needled by their peers, forced to fight their classmates to defend their parents and will, from this day forward cringe with every photo shoot that has been done in the past, will be done in the future and rebel in ways none of us could ever imagine, just to quiet the storm and identify themselves as individuals and not the props that Kate and Jon have allowed them to be over these past 6 years.
All that money and greed for a supposed lifestyle that was all for the kids. That lifestyle will surely be a sore point by all 8 of them when they are old enough to fend for themselves and wonder where their share of the profits where when they were put out to the world like circus freaks and are finally out in the world trying to hide from all of it.
There aren't enough boxes of wine, apologies or explanations that these parents can go through to make things right at this point or any point in these kids lives. The money for therapy will be far more than the money Kate and Jon have accepted, squandered and squirrled away for their own benefit in the name of "Doing it for the kids"
Shame shame shame.
I certainly was NOT putting these poor kids down. I am just really shocked at the big difference in Kate's priorties.
Fair enough Moose. You are so right.
Done.
"Eyes Wide Open, I am so sorry but you took that totally out of context. I have no idea why you are going about the fashion police etc. Why would anyone say anything about you and your daughter?"
YOU did, and I quote:
"Eyes Wide Open As long as you both are happy. I have never seen anyone do that, but each his own..." I would think even you, Eyes, would want to project a much better impression than wearing the same style and color for 4 or 5 days out of the week?"
I assumed that "YOU" meant me, since you were specifically addressing me! If not, then I wonder who "YOU" is!
No worries. Time to move on.
Am I the only one that is getting kind of worried about what will happen next? Kate is seeming desperate. She has the Emmys, then K8+8 but it looks like Twist of Kate may be a no-go. She cannot bear to go back to being a nobody Mom in PA. I don't know if her finances can support her lifestyle for long.
When she fails (and she eventually will) the kids will pay the price. Of course, they always have.
Dani said... Matchy-Matchy, Little girls must be matchy-matchy.
It doesn't take a body-language expert to see how miserable these kids are when they are working. They didn't apply for a job or ask to be TLC employees.
Maybe Mady and Cara are refusing to dress alike?
I hope so.
*****
I think Mady and Cara don't much matter to TLC.
It's their little brothers and sisters Treacherous Little Channel are interested in. Mady could wear a geisha outfit and Cara could wear leiderhosen and nobody at TLC would even care. Or notice.
Pink LOL How could I forget? ." If I haven't grilled I am gonna grill." blah blah blah
Kate CAN'T go to the Emmys alone-never alone so......will Steve-o get to be by her side YET AGAIN? How did Jamie get away from her-she's missing in action here. Jamie and Steve take turns babysitting the ICE QUEEN. OH WHAT FUN!!!!
Admin you said the previous post :
The other day I watched the last of the popup episode since I never finished it after realizing how darn boring it is, and one of the pop ups was "Mike is the only crew membe to be with the Gosselins since the beginning."
Wow -- This is another lie Kate has been caught in! She has said on tape several times that the crew have known the kids since they were babies and that they are like family. Many of us speculated back in April/May time period when we 1st saw the recent pictures of the crew filming (before Easter) that the crew was new and that that they did not look familar. It was the day that we saw all the presents that the TLC had brought. She can't open her mouth without lying. That must impress Steve quite a bit, huh?
Kelly your posts are so on the mark and so well thought out. You make excellent points.
So if the crew is all new except for Mike then why in the hell were these children over the top to see them if they had never known them before??? Why were these children giving big huge hugs to men that were strangers???
Okay Gang,
It's 9:44 eastern time here in Baltimore Maryland. I'll be signing off soon but want to know how many of you made the telephone call to Stride Rite this morning???
How many of you are going to call at least one of the sponsors on Monday and inundate the switchboard with complaints about being a part of this show?
Blogging about it is venting and a passive protest. Calling them on the phone is active and to the point. I'm sure there are plenty on here who just lurk, don't post but are as disgusted as those of us who post and vent. Vent on Monday. Pick a sponsor, google their 800 number, light up that switchboard...demand to speak with the public affairs person or go all the way to the top.
Boycotting studios only gives needed press which brings on new viewers to find out what the deal is. Calling sponsors and venting makes the sponsors wonder whether or not it is profit wise to sign on to this train wreck. Make it a point to call at least one sponsor a day, post their response on any blog you are allowed to post on and make it a concerted effort to become proactive and end this abuse.
crackheadgabby,aka sheesagabby,u sure are obsessed with the gabby name.. Don't worry about where I post and what names I use worry about yourself and have fun..Just saying..
Ok! Jon/Kate,They are at fault having the children on TLC,and TLC is at fault filming them.. The reality TV should be banned filming children..
I believe Proctor and Gamble is one of them, I'm hunting them down. If we let them know that we do not condone child exploitation maybe they will get the hint, STOP Watchin The Show

If there's anything good that can be said about this it's the fact that they were at the Berkshire Mall, ten minutes away, and were not dragged on another two hour-round trip to Quakertown to film.
Another positive -- school starts on Wednesday and they'll be away from this nonsense ALL DAY, five days a week.
I cannot, for the life of me, understand why she insists on dressing like she belongs on Sixth and Franklin streets in Reading. What in the world possesses her to do this? She must sees how she looks. Do narcissts look at themselves in them in the mirror and in photos and only see perfection, no matter how ridiculous they look to others? Nobody dresses like that here. NOBODY!

My God, she's not harming anyone with her choice of clothes. Who cares if NOBODY in small town PA dresses that way? There's no crime against not being a conformist. I'm so glad I don't live in a town where people freak out completely over something so silly.

This woman knows they will photographed, she is all "glammed up" each time they go out. WHY let the kids wear the same thing for days on end? I didn't even check the tups, this made me angry enough. If she cares so damn much about appearances, why not dress these kids or have them change the look, color, style or something. I don't get this at all.

Sounds like the one overly concerned about appearances is you. Who cares what the kids are wearing. You're concerned that the kids aren't changing their "look" or "style"? Heaven forbid a 9 year-old gets caught wearing the same outfit on different days.
Kate has worn her hair with some sort of flap to cover her wonky eye soon after she started being filmed. The ugly fake wig with a combover and the possum do with the flap of hair both were distracting in the way the conveniently covered her right eye. My guess is she became self-conscious once she watched herself on tv. Funny since the hair just draws attention to her wonkeyed look and she has no problem showing off other, far more unattractive parts of her manly body. The big, stumpy legs, the waistless torso, the boobs she denied having enlarged, and that deformed belly. She does try hard not to let her back side be photographed...a good move. This is not a pretty woman. The face is hard and horsey and the body is masculine and unlovely. She is not sexy or cool in her hooker gear. In fact, her desperate bid for attention coupled with the worst taste in clothes just make her look geeky and cheap. She is just the unpopular geek in high school with overly obvious clothing, 'hair' and makeup. Where does she actually find her outfits anyway? The clothes are cheap looking and don't even look normal. I guess that's what happens when you purchase clothes solely based on their ability to expose your boobs.

I totally agree. If she were spending the money on high-end clothing from an upscale boutique, and the kids were seen in a different outfit every day, critics would be yelling their heads off about Kate spending THEIR money on fancy clothing, when, in fact, they are just kids who would be happy to wear shorts and shirts from Old Navy.

This isn't about HER. This is about the children. As far as I'm concerned, she can wear whatever she darn well pleases and look as hookerish as she wants. However, when there are children involved...impressionable young children who would be embarrassed about the image she presents with her breasts spilling over, then, by darn, it does matter. She IS harming somebody. One doesn't have to be a "conformist" to show good taste in clothing. Class is class, and in that outfit, she doesn't present herself as one who knows anything about that.
If she would show up at school looking like that, I can guarantee you she would be the butt of jokes and the kids would be teased unmercifully about it, whether it's an inner-city public school, or a private one. If she doesn't care about how people view her, she should at least take into consideration what negative impact her choice of clothing is going to have on those children.
That's what it's all about.

I guess the town would be glad, too! LOL!

Oh please. If the kids are teased unmercifully because of what their mother wears, it's because people like YOU have taught their children to behave that way.

FYI...I don't dress like Kate.

Posting Rule #2: "watch the...holier than thou..."
People like ME? You have no idea what I have taught my children. They don't make fun of other kids, their mothers, their fathers, the color of their skin, their choice of lunches, or someone's wonky eye. That's what I've taught them. You don't tease anyone. Period. Society, though, isn't always compassionate, and there are kids who WILL tease those children. They can't be protected from every cruel kid out there. That's my concern. It's a fact of life, and it's not going to go away. These children have been through so much. The last thing they need is to be embarrassed by a mother who decides that non-conformity is the way to get attention.
The provocative clothing and boob flashing are not benign, quirky fashion choices here. Kate's slutty appearance is for attention and WILL elicit snickers and stares. She will be judged and ridiculed; this is not what kids want from their mother. The above poster is correct; kids may tease the G8 because of Kate's appearance. That doesn't make it ok, but it is what it is. Kate should stop the hooker get ups and boob shirts to spare her kids the embarrassment and probable humiliation amongst their peers. Even if they aren't teased, the kids' classmates will talk. Her outfits, hair, makeup, plastic surgery and obsession with her looks are THAT bad. If she didn't have kids, who cares? But she has 8 of them, and she should care enough about their feelings to stop dressing literally like a hooker. Pointing this out does not make any of the posters here bad nor does it mean that any of us or our kids would be insensitive enough to tease Kate or her kids.

As far as the subject of Kate's appearance, I believe a couple of things. First, this is strategic. She is desperate and so is TLC. The audience is dwindling and what has worked in the past to increase viewers has been controversy. Kate is desperate, and that is scary. She won't care what she has to do to stay in the limelight,and it doesn't matter to her if it is destructive and damaging to her children.
I remember when Brittney Spears had her very public meltdown. At least she had parents that were finally able to intervene before either she or her children were terribly hurt. but Who will step in with Kate, she has more enablers and yes people around her than Anna Nicole Smith.
As far as Kate's appearance being a personal choice, it is not just about her although that is what we have always seen. It is embarrassing for children to see their mother dress in a sexually provocative manner,can anyone say it isn't? In addition, what kind of role model is Kate being. I can't imagine her having any sort of conversation with her kids in the dressing room of a department store along the lines of "your not wearing that!" I have had two daughters go to Proms so far and what a battle this can be!
So the situation with Kate is getting worse, that we can plainly see. I can only hope she hits bottom before the children reap additional damage,they are innocent and victims of this crazy mother.

We haven't seen a lot of results and that can be disheartening.
However, I think just the overexposure (no pun intended) and time in general, will help to be the undoing of this odd spectacle.
I work in at school, and let's just say we have a few moms who show up dressed pretty provoctively, it makes people look and talk...these women should know better. I can see wearing the clothes elsewhere, but to pick up the kids? Lets just say the kids get embarrased.
I say no matter how hot a mom is at any age, when you have kids you need to tone it down a bit. You can still be sexy in tasteful and appropiate ways. Just sayin.
Wasn't there one sponsor who pulled out of the show because they were bombarded with complaints? Was it Nestles?
Some people should not be parents and yes, God does work in mysterious ways. Too bad the doctors didn't catch this manipulating, narcissistic border-line sociopath when she was abusing science in her schemes. Now, may God help the Gosselin children because the media keeps helping Kate Gosselin, such as Meredith "get a life" Vieira or the money-grubbing, people-exploiting-destroying TLC that sucks the souls out of these beautiful kids for $$$ and Kate's rabid fans' voyeurism.
endthemadness,
I remember reading somewhere that Kate was hospitalized for hyperstimulation of her ovaries and was told not to have sex. Lets just say she had this scheme going on since before the G6 were concieved. As a nurse, she should have known better, but having MONEY has always been high on Kate's agenda.
Why cant they film the family at home? I dont know why she the's kids out in public so people can stare at them. I feel so bad for the kids.
am starting to think that the driveway drop off and the silly hookerish outfits are only ploys to drive up ratings for the new show.
This is just a thought regarding the children not looking as clean and dressed.
Last week it was reported that as they were leaving the beach trip, Kate had very angry words for one of her female employees. Perhaps that nanny is now fired and Kate has not replaced her yet. No one to dress the children each day, so Kate is leaving up to the housekeeper or cook? Just a thought....
"Why cant they film the family at home?"
---------------
Quite possibly because there is nothing more left to film at home. We've seen it all...kids playing in the driveway, kids getting new toys, kitchen renovations, cleaning the refrigerator and cursing out the previous owner, grilling chicken sammonella, power washing a house, collecting coupons, making egg salad sandwiches, cooking with Emeril, packing lunches, dogs (now gone) being fed and crated...
What's left that anyone would want to see? Come to think of it, we don't want to see the shoe shopping, hair cuts, dentist trips or vacations anymore either.
TLC -- it's all been done. It's over. Kaput. Finished.
SEE... this is how real celebrities shop... comfortable summer dress w/ flats and hair pulled back...NOT the crap Kate has been wearing out shopping lately.

At least her peers will have an excuse, they're children.

Hey Lolly :o) Of course "do it all Kate" jumped in the drivers seat for filming purposes. They don't want the viewers to see that Steve is "more" than her bodyguard. He's her new male slave-just the way she likes it. Let's see: he's her friend of many years, bodyguard/constant companion, probably her confidant as well, her kids babysitter, purse holder, advisor, etc... He must be earning a FORTUNE doing all the work he does for her, huh?
If Kate wasn't such a bully & pushy broad, I say that Steve is her Svengali.
"Moose Mania: You're watching TLC. How can you be surprised?"
I'm having problems with my television reception since we went to all digital. I was on the phone with the cable company and they asked me to check how many channels were having a problem with the signal. I flipped to TLC, but to my dismay, this was the one channel that was coming through loud and clear...with moaning and groaning. I thought an adult porn channel was coming through by mistake and I was ready to give the cable channel a piece of my mind (or what's left of it).
@ Must Love...Mady has been wearing that skirt 4 days in a row and I can guarantee you they have not been washed.
-----------
How can you "guarantee" that "they" have not been washed? I wouldn't think that the nanny who does the laundry would disclose this! Does a denim skirt need to be washed every time it's worn? Mine sure doesn't! These aren't kids who roll around in the dirt and get grass stains. It would be a different story if they were...
I'm surprised anyone watches TLC anymore. It's all trash.
What in the world did I just see on TLC? A woman squirming around on the floor having a "no touch" orgasm? Have they no shame at all? I guess if they can exploit children, there is nothing that they won't stoop to.
I'm beyond disgusted.
SheeshGabby: I knew too.
Ugh! Too many photos of Kate using her kiddies for fame- I can't possibly hate her more!
By the way TLC, if anything, I think that all this overexposure of Kate & kids is going to alienate more and more viewers. Very few people are still willing to support this vile woman. The majority of the viewing public would rather eat furniture than watch her antics.
And as for the latest pics of Kate- my goodness,
for a 35 year old Christian woman, she sure knows how to show off the low riding boobies that her kids paid for. Braless no less! She's neither cute, or sexy. She looks rather rough, and man-ish. With her boob job that is hanging rather low, and her belly button that is riding rather high, I'm afraid that pretty soon they're going to trade places. As far as her man-ish qualities; I've seen men that are absolutely BEAUTIFUL in drag-
and they are 10,000 time more feminine than Kate. She just looks horrible; a big, tough, messy, confused, abusive, selfish, angry & bitter middle-age man in drag...
I'm just glad my mother didn't dress like that when I was a kid. I'm glad my father worked to support me when I was a kid. I'd be taking a leak on my parents graves today if they treated me like that when I was a kid.
Where is Mrs. Cleaver when you need her?
Admin well said. TLC makes their "stars" sign a morals clause. But TLC should be exempt from any morals?
Shame ,amen Jon with his noodle self should be ashamed of himself for letting TLC film the children again... I wouldn't care if I went to jail or had to sleep outside I would have stood my ground for my children..Puta Face Kate don't care about the children..I can here her tell the children,"The show must go on,and even your dad said the same thing.."
Cara is the one I worry about the most. She holds things in way too much, as anyone who has watched the show knows. Little Mady and ALexis do NOT hold it, I think they will turn out ok, damaged, but ok more than Cara or even Collin or Joel.
Eyes Wide Open As long as you both are happy. I have never seen anyone do that, but each his own. BUT as I said, none of us, (I don't think) are photographed everytime we walk out the door, nor filmed often. I would think even you, Eyes, would want to project a much better impression than wearing the same style and color for 4 or 5 days out of the week? We really can't compare our life to Kate's, because she is out there in the public eye. And I am sure most of us are not.
But think about how Kate USED to dress them all up so cute. Matching and pretty well dressed. This is a BIG difference in just a little over a year.
Every once in a while I have to wonder if a plant comes on here just to rile people up even more than they already are.
I think Car's problems go a lot deeper than liking a certain style of shorts. Look at her!
"It's only a matter of time before the bellybutton meets the chest."
============
It think that it already has.
Lolly said: "Little Cara has worn the same style white shorts on 8/17, 18, 19, 20 and today 21st. She has worn the same
style blk sleeveless shirt the 17th, 20th and today 21st."
I had a little discussion with my daughter about wearing the same shorts every day. We solved the problem. She found white shorts and denim shorts that she really, really liked and were the perfect fit. She's tall and slim and the fit is always a problem. We bought four pair of the white shorts, and three pair of the denims. Same style, same color. Although it looks like she's wearing the same pair every day, she's not. The shorts are clean. She's happy, and so am I!
I can remember my kids having "favorite" items of clothing that they would insist on wearing day after day. It was horribly embarrassing, because it made me look like a neglectful mom. But the truth is, kids DO get dirty, and I washed those "favorite" outfits every night so they'd be ready for the next day.
Do I think for a minute that Kate is doing this? No. I think she is probably unaware and too busy dressing herself to have time to worry about the kids.
