Tweeted Kate: "Hi!We r@ Taylor Swift's concert&we r loving r Taylor!Just came from giving hugs&wishing her luck tonight!Can't wait 2 c show-Speak Now!"
And here's a look back to 2009--Taylor Swift as Kate on Saturday Night Live, where she was such a good sport and spoofed Kate on The View!
283 sediments (sic) from readers:
«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 283 of 283 Newer› Newest»I watched the Kardashians by the way for the first time the other night and it was rather interesting the way the kids called on Kris the mother on being worried about her little money makers.
I guess one of the girls had psoriasis, red splotches on her body, and was about to shoot a commercial and freaking out. Kris was very concerned too....then one of the girls basically called her out and said you're her manager you're just worried about your 10 percent. Oh Kris got piping mad. You could tell it was the defensive kind of mad, the kind where deep down you know what they are saying is true on some level.
I was thinking wow, can't wait until the Gosselin kids grow up and stand up to Kate, put her in her place and call her out like that.
Yes I thought the one part that did apply is that you can't run to the next state and film the crap out of them all week then come back home and expect your timeclock to start all over in PA. Yeah, not allowed. If you use up all your hours out of state, you're out of luck.
This would come into play on a two week vacation out of state if they wanted to come back and film the crap out of them in interviews, they would really have to watch the clock and count the other filming toward it. This would be a start, at least.
But that is why Paul Petersen and many of his supporters are advocating for national laws. There's just too big of a problem with state jumping to avoid the laws.
"ADMIN Wow talk about a glimpse into the future with that Gossip Girl's actress's suit with her greedy mom."
I read about this the day it came out. How very sad for her. I can see future lawsuits on behalf of these kids. I can see suits filed against TLC and maybe even Kate. And I agree, Kate would file a suit even against her own. Money does strange things to people.
Honestly, I think these kids would have a good case to file against TLC in the future. I am not a law expert by any means, but I surely think the could sue for many reasons.
Totally agree ETown Neighbor. Sadly so.
However, I think it will be apparent to most that Kate skirts the very laws that are enacted to protect kids when filming. I think her feet will be held to the fire, if just a little bit, because right now, she has full control to work them as much as she wants. Heck, she already violates the arcane and antiquated PA laws by filming too early in the morning.
I believe she'll at least be asked about the laws as the show was certainly the primary impetus for getting the laws revised. That's obvious. I think she'll be asked if she intends to comply with the laws no matter where she is filming. After all, these laws are for the protection of a child, so not off limits. Quite pertinent and I think people will care if she's following the law in the spirit and letter, no matter the location.
A set teacher is year round, to my understanding.
Oh the Kardashians! LOL What a family. The girls, especially Khloe, talk to and about Kris like a dog. Bruce too. She has sold all those kids in one form or the other. I have read she is a ruthless, but very good manager. Recently, she did tell Khloe she was hurting the "brand" by her weight gain. Khloe called her an "insane idiot". LOL Such a wonderful family.
A set teacher is year round, to my understanding.

"Quite pertinent and I think people will care if she's following the law in the spirit and letter, no matter the location."

Has TLC been following them so far in other states/countries where they have filmed? We don't know.
I thought the hours of working, even out of state were applied to their PA hours? If they can only film x amount of hours, it was applied to the PA hours too? I hope I make sense. LOL
+++++++++
I had a talk with a legislator about that and my understanding was that the law is for PA filming only. If they want to film the heck out of them in another state where there are no laws, they can do it. I discussed this before the final bill was written, so this may change when all of the additions/corrections to the original proposal are passed into law. If so, they are really going to have to keep tally of their hours. My question still remains - who is going to make sure that these laws are followed? I can't imagine that they are going to have enforcers on the set - DOL isn't going to provide TLC with them.
I just hope that there are no gray areas in this law and that everything was clearly thought through so that there are no loopholes this time around.
While being forced by law to film less, and having to stop immediately once the clock has counted down to 00:00, I worry that they'll just turn to the same plan they used at the corn maze. Film really quickly, put even more pressure on the kids to act so that they can get the shots they want/need, and the kids get NO fun out of any trip or occasion again.
ADMIN I WAS trying to ignore this stupid incident, BUT I must have missed you saying that this blog doesn't get hits if "all" are on twitter?? LOLOL These people are truly nuts. Now, since this blog was dissed, WE are getting blamed for the calls he supposedly got at the hotel? My gawd. It had nothing to do with the horrible attacks on fans and Kate? All the homophobic, racist and sexist ones? (IF this incident even happened?) ADMIN what have you done to the few who are SO obsessed by you? YOU are very important to them. haha
Good to know we are "week" minded. I bid for all MONDAYS!
-----------------------------------
"BL told her bloggers she doesn't get hits if they are all on twitter. Exploiting the crazy BL? controlling BL?"
"BL is intimidated by strong will/ thus ban on uw. She exploits the week minded for blog hits & $$$."
"He got a call only after he bashed a hate blog that doesn't give a flip about Kate/shes hating 4 $$$"
My goodness, Denise Richards on the view again and she's just so gracious about Charlie Sheen. She states again that the divorce is private, and that she fell in love with a wonderful man (3 years sober but she didn't know a lot about addiction at the time) and that although their relationship can be up and down (wow, if that was the worst think Kate ever said about Jon), she will always be there for him.
I know Jon went a bit nutty as the marriage ended, but if Denise can stay positive about a raging addict who lives with porn stars why can't Kate acknowledge the father of her kids (whom she CHOSE not only to have kids with, but to go through fertility treatments with....no "oops" here) with such kind regard?
Hippie Chick - very cool sharing concerts with your son! And YES; Weezer is touring right now and playing this week in NJ - http://weezer.com/events
One of the best shows we have been to (fun-wise, not based on musical talent) was attending KISS a couple years ago. I painted up his face to look like Gene Simmons. He looked fantastic. Him and I had great seats and as we do at all shows, danced, sang and rocked hard the whole night.
After the encore as the crowd was filing out, the two of just just stood there together playing air guitar and singing our favorite moments. A very, VERY attractive woman came up to the tow of us and said 'you two are too cute. Gene wants to meet you guys.'
She took us partially backstage, and Gene Simmons was there! He shook our hands, asked a few questions about my son and his musical taste. Was shocked to learn it was his 6th concert already. Then he gave my son a signed Bass Guitar Pick with his face on it. He said something to the effect of "I was watching you guys all night - its people like you that fuel what we do onstage." It made our night.
That pick hangs on his wall on his cork board with all the concert ticket stubs and photos from our shows together. Whenever we listen to music and a band we have seen live comes on we ALWAYS recount the concert and share memories. It's the best. I feel so lucky to have my little concert buddy.

This is clearly already happening and it's a shame. I was shocked at the corn maze report in that I didn't think it was that BAD. It's as though each episode (which the twins already call their life experiences) is planned like a movie with a storyboard where production knows what shots they need to tell the arc of the story.
Show kids running around in maze. Chase and call them to get the shots you want. Herd them back into the van 20 minutes late and have Kate embellish the heck out of the footage to imply that they had a fun *day* at the maze when they actually spent a whopping 20 minutes there.
Or march the kids to the beach to get footage only to turn them right around. Sorry kiddos.
Or make the kids stand around doing nothing while they shoot a couple kids at a time rolling around in a ball, then wait more while Kate sits on the lawn to do the cut away interviews.
Yeah, that's life really. And that's just what's been spied unexpectedly. There's a strict filming schedule to adhere to, make no mistake about it.

Does anyone know what the penalties are for violating the protections offered in the Murt Bill? I don't recall ever hearing about any. If the show should go on after this contract expires {{shudder}} I would fully expect Kate and TLC to bend and ignore the new rules. Especially if the penalties were just fines. "No nvr means no" to Kate. The only way I see protections in the bill being followed is that production would be shut down if the laws were being violated.
No Regrets said:
Frankly, I am amazed she has been able to keep this "new" Kate act up for so long. What is funny, she acts so sunshiny on Twitter, but from the reviews she is not all that sunshiny on her "episodes". I guess fans don't "see" this either.
-----------------------------------------------
Yep, because Khate will do anything for money: act a certain way, do what she's asked, lie, etc. My suspicions were that Khate was being paid by TLC for keeping a Twitter, or keeping her "job" at the very least. I think TLC is putting minimal effort into the show at this point and they put Khate to task in finding new episode ideas and maybe snag a freebie in the process from a generous fan. It can't just be coincidence that her sheeple suggested visiting "My Rushmore", along with a dozen other states, then a few months later Khate's on a RV trip across 1/4 of the country, including Mt.R.
I'm certain TLC has been using Gosselin blogs/forums for free ideas for years now. The kids' "special day" eps from 2007-8? That idea, amongst others, was posted all over the old TwoP forum, by mostly non-fans of Khate/Jon.
I still think she considers Twitter part of her job, hence the nicey-nice, Pollyanna attitude. She's on there for a reason, whatever it might be. She would never chat with strangers for nothing, let alone a good time.
ADMIN, if my post came through about those tweets someone sent me about you and this blog, please feel free to delete it. I am going back to ignoring this crazy stuff. Hard to believe the attacks on you. I am not "week" minded, no one here can even begin to be defined as "week" minded. LOL
Have a good day everyone
LOL I must have missed that comment too No Regrets. Huh? The only thing I've said about twitter is I don't support sheeple bashing/Kate bashing on there. LOL I defended them! They don't comprehend this I guess?
Speechless . . .

WARNING: Be prepared to have your blood boiling over this one! Obviously, Khate has the ear of this "Naughty But Nice Rob" guy. By the end of the article you can tell that all his quotes from Khate are not from a phone conversation, but from an email (based on her making up fakeish words, lol). So, she has a little email thing going with him, I suppose set up for her by TLC. They have to get her name out there, stir the controversy, and throw Jon under the bus again to try to pump up the ratings for upcoming episodes. SICKENING!
Kate Gosselin’s Kids: ‘We Need A Daddy!’
by Naughty But Nice Rob on 2011-07-26 12:25:40
Mentioning that you’re a mom of eight isn’t exactly pillow talk when it comes to finding a partner in parenthood. But no teen angst movies here, when Kate Gosselin does find the right guy, her brood will be thrilled — at times, they’ve even demanded a new daddy.
“Obviously the kids miss their dad living here but they are at the point now they are smashing their fists on the table saying ‘we want you to get married. We need a daddy that lives here,’” Gosselin tells me. “But, I say ‘you have your daddy.’”
But this isn’t the first time Gosselin has acted as a megaphone for her kids’ daddy-hungry woes. She told Extra that her brood is “bored” with their single-parent life and want a new daddy in the mix. But when Gosselin asks her children who they would like her to marry none of them has a clue — and neither does Kate.
“I don’t know who I would like to marry because I haven’t dated anyone,” Kate confessed to me. “They comment all the time and I say who do you think I should marry. No one has an answer.”
Being a single parent is not easy, however, it’s something Kate is used to, telling me she felt that way even when ex-husband Jon Gosselin was around.
“I felt like I have really always taken charge of everything around the house,” Kate tells me. “Schedule and organization and work. It’s a lot to handle for one person.”
But Jon would more than disagree with Kate’s claims of her single-parent style when the couple was still living under one roof.
Last year, Jon tweeted that he was nothing but a good dad to his adorable brood, hoping to make it clear that he never viewed his little ones in terms of potential income. Gosselin even went to court in attempt to remove them from ex-wife Kate’s now solo reality show.
------(This part is in a quote box, excerpts from Jon's tweets)------
Each of them has experienced negative effects of having their lives so public. Some are struggling with emotional and/or behavioral issues. My goal for my children is for them to have a normal childhood, and gain back their much-deserved privacy. This is not about money, this is about my children. No amount of money is worth the price my children are paying. You cannot put a price on childhood. Money comes and goes, but you only have one childhood.
-------------
But Kate doesn’t stand by Jon’s daddy dearest claims, telling me she is constantly calling people asking for help to no avail — and with little help from Jon.
“I do feel overwhelmed a lot because this is a lot to manage. Our crazy schedule, eight kids getting what they need,” Kate tells me. “But I would rather not sleep than have my kids go without what they deserve. I have always had a high mark that I have for myself. I have always said they need to be treated like they are individuals, like they are an only child even though there’s eight of them.”
But it looks like her adorable eight are going to have to wait before they have a daddy that lives with them. “When I’m by myself the greatest ideas come. I’m very self-occupiable [sic].”
Next time Kate finds herself alone, let’s hope she occupies herself with a dictionary!
----------------------------------------------------
UNbelievable!!! LIES, LIES, and MORE LIES!!
(Btw, I saw the link posted by SchmeckyGirl on Twitter)
Oh, sorry, I see it was already posted. that article is so horrible, it should get its own post!
“I felt like I have really always taken charge of everything around the house,” Kate tells me. “Schedule and organization and work. It’s a lot to handle for one person.”
&&&&&&&&&&&
How does Kate figure, when episode after episode after episode of Jon and Kate Plus 8 was about Jon busting his butt every weekend to do projects for Kate and the family? Bunkbeds, remodel, garbage organization and on and on ando n and on and on.
“When I’m by myself the greatest ideas come. I’m very self-occupiable [sic].”
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Is that something you can do in mixed company, or is it a solo act?
So BM and her cronies say that this blog is responsible for someone harassing Kelly? We don't even know if his story is on the up and up. There are parts of it I just don't buy.
Nevertheless, so many here have said that the horrible bullying of both sheeple and Kate on Twitter needs to stop because nobody is deserving of the venom that is spewed on there. It's disgusting, and it's embarrassing. Admin has voiced her disenchantment with the bashing on Twitter from the non-fans. There's no excuse for adults behaving the way that they do, no matter how much they despise Kate and her fans. There are a few regulars on there who just don't know when to stop.
"She exploits the week minded for blog hits & $$$."
=================
At least the "week minded" can spell! What's with the sheeple and their illiteracy? They can't spell and they can't write a grammatically correct sentence. Is this part of the sheeple creed? I think all of us here would win hands down when it came to comparing IQ, comprehension skills, and reasoning ability with that of the sheeple. You just want to bang your head on the wall when you read some of the insane things they come up with.
I'm a Wednesday-minded kind of person, by the way.
“I felt like I have really always taken charge of everything around the house,” Kate tells me. “Schedule and organization and work. It’s a lot to handle for one person.”
=================
Well, Kate, maybe if you stayed at home instead of running around to New York to get haircuts, and dragging the kids all over the country, it would be much easier to get things done, especially considering that the kids are away for nine hours, five days a week, when school is in session.
Thanks Admin(for explaining the travel, difference between, Newark & Philly). I can't see any of the boys being interested in Taylor Swift. The girl tups yes cause of their sisters. Perhaps Kate took them to the concert: so 1. TLC paid for flight, hotel, concert, from big trip(on the way home), 2. so Kate can brag, rub it into her fans faces as well as Jons'. 3.Keep her name in the media.. mark off her bucket list. I read that article: what a piece of crap. I wonder how much Kate/TLC PR paid them to do that article. I've check the Today & the View and Kate so far is not scheduled to be on those shows in the next 2 weeks, but who knows. Kate did tweet, you never know where she might pop up. Scary thought!
For "a" dadddy to live with them or for "THEIR" daddy to live with them. I'm thinking that they want "THEIR" daddy. I've never heard of any kids that was a replacement daddy....I've also never heard of kids (that young) talking to their mother about getting remarried. Most kids harbor the hope that mom and dad will eventually get back together. More of Kate's fanticies and projecting her wants onto the kids.
" It’s a lot to handle for one person.”
Kate has NEVER handled the kids by herself. NEVER. She CAN NOT handle them alone, even if she tried.
She needs to stop trying to hurt Jon. Even IF the kids said such a thing, she had no business telling it to the press. She is dispicable. Jon has moved on, why can't she?
HOLY COW! Someone wrote a piece about Kate and the kids going to the concert but she had to bash Jon in the article. Then she tweeted the link and Khate re-tweeted and thanked her for it! She said it was "sweet"!

Her Twitter page says she's an "Entertainment Journalist". The link goes to her article at CMT.com. Here it is:
OFFSTAGE: Taylor Swift Plus Kate Plus 8
July 26, 2011; Written by Alison Bonaguro
(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
I've always been on Team Kate. More than just on it, really. More like a founding member of the club. Especially when her TLC reality show Jon & Kate Plus 8 turned into the Jon Gosselin Can't Stop Bitching and Moaning and Cheating show in late 2009. I felt like she got a bad rap for being a busy mother (one who is mothering eight little kids, mind you). So when I hear that she took all eight of her kids to a Taylor Swift concert, I couldn't be happier for her. After the show, she tweeted, "Thank u again 4 thrilling 8 little Gosselins & their mom:) w/ a great meeting & show! We love u -- always have/always will! Xoxo." She also said, "Just waking up here. Concert was amazing! My little girls danced along imitating the ballet dancers onstage & we all sang loud together! SO fun!" and "Taylor is amazing. Great role model 4 my girls, her mom is sweet & we love them! Sumthing I can do to bond w my kids!" and "A-mazing concert, @taylorswift13 omg amazing! I've seen Taylor three times now in concert & this 1 is the best yet!" The nine Gosselins also had the chance to meet and greet and hug Swift before the show started, so Kate also tweeted about that. "Hi! We r@ Taylor Swift's concert & we r loving r Taylor! Just came from giving hugs & wishing her luck tonight! Can't wait 2 c show-Speak Now!"

Here's Kate response:

My gawd! It's been OVER TWO YEARS! Is she ever going to stop playing the poor little victim, Jon "cheated" and he sucked as a husband and father act?! GET OVER IT, YOU BITTER BITCH!!! Stop thanking people for publicly bashing the father of your eight, count 'em eight kids!
Wow, if I were playing the drink-everytime-she-lies or drink-everytime-she-throws-Jon-under-the-bus I'd be dead of alcohol poisoning.
E-Town,
I think someone is using your name on my blog saying mean things to me. I'm sorry Admin to use this forum to discuss this, but I thought E-Town would like to know. They are spelling neighbor "neighbour". And not being very nice. Doesn't sound like you at all. Someone else actually caught it. Thought you should know. If it is you, it's all good, we're all entitled to our opinions! :)

I KNOW you have only said that about twitter. AND the majority of us backed your stance on that. A bunch of silly liars. They are incredible. Yet, we are the "haters". LOL
Oh well, what do you expect?
Gone for the day, eveyone have a good one.
When is Kate, and those who hang on her every word, going to get it? Those kids, like every young children of separated or divorced parents, want everything back the way it used to be - they want the daddy they already had at home, around the table, and parenting them.
How dense (and manipulative) can she be!

Taylor Swift's Dad is an atty, among the specialties of his practice? Entertainment Atty. He met Kate long before Taylor became universally famous. Kate and Taylor's mom are great friends, so she does not have to grift tkts and the kids all like the concert venue. Most of those at these concerts are kids, did you know that?
How Did Kate meet Mr. Taylor? A very long time ago when the twins were going to try modeling, etc. The Swift Family lived in Berks County and Mr. Swift worked coast to coast with his clients. Now, he spends most of his time in Nashville running his dgtr's business cause she sky rocketed over the past 3 or 4 years and has this big money making industry. Everyone she employs and performs with her, works for her industry.
As for flying zillions of time back and forth cross country and then attend a concert.
We don't know if the G family rested in a hotel in NY or Newark and then went to the concert, do we?
I just don't think this is that big a thing to comment on in a negative way, there are other things to say about Kate.
These kids seriously "bang their fists on the table" and demand a new live-in dad? Really??
And when "new dad" isn't quite as loving, fun and understanding as "old dad", will the kids bang their fists on the table and demand he be gone?
Good grief.
Excuse me while I tear apart that ridiculous article on HuffPo:
1. First, Kate is claiming the kids are "demanding a new daddy." I don't believe that for a hot second. She's making that up out of whole cloth. No 10 and 7 year olds "demand a new daddy" WHEN THEY HAVE A DAD. They KNOW they have a dad, they love him and he loves them. No kid would WANT their mom to get re-married. If anything, the fantasy of every kid of a divorce is that their parents fall back in love and get re-married to each other. No one's falling for your line of BS, Kate. And way to try to hurt Jon with these lies about the kids demanding a "NEW" daddy. Good God, that's so low.
2. The claims that she always did everything around the house and with the kids are EASILY debunked by simply watching the dozens of hours of footage from when Jon was still in the picture! Anyone can see Jon did the lion's share while she did nothing but gripe and bark orders. How is that doing everything?
3. As for being so overwhelmed and needing so much help now, MORE BS. She has helpers. She has FULL-TIME helpers, so she can just shut her lying mouth.
I love his little dig at her at the end, and I am glad he attempted to present Jon's point of view, but really, how pathetic is this attention-getting ploy of hers?
And she gets her best ideas when alone? What ideas? How to further exploit her kids?
I've got news for Kate: no man would touch her with a 12 foot pole. It's not JUST having 8 kids (though that is definitely not a plus for most guys), it's her HORRIBLE personality.
Uh, huh. What we see on camera, and on Twitter, only says the opposite....
Does she think we're idiots?
“.....Kate tells me. “But I would rather not sleep than have my kids go without what they deserve. ... I have always said they need to be treated like they are individuals, like they are an only child even though there’s eight of them.”
Um, Rob and Kate? They have a dad who they live with. And Kate, if you are so overwhelmed, then perhaps Jon should take the kids during the school year and you can have them during the summer and two weekends a month, Thursday night through Monday morning.
Oh wait...but then you'd be paying Jon support. Oh and then they wouldn't be around for filming. And gee, I guess it might be hard to justify that huge house then, huh?
By the way, the footage from J & K + 8 showed Jon doing a majority of the chikd rearing, even after putting in a long day. You were too busy making lists and bossing people around to actually play with your kids.
Kate, you are not a saint and you have resources that the majority of single moms don't, namely regular live in child care, housekeeping, gardeners and pool people. Please don't whine. It's very unbecoming and quite unbelievable.
“.....Kate tells me. “But I would rather not sleep than have my kids go without what they deserve. ... I have always said they need to be treated like they are individuals, like they are an only child even though there’s eight of them.”
Oh yeah...tell me she (or TLC) doesn't read the blogs.
Those kids probably do want and need another adult at home to protect them from Kate's temper and outbursts.
I've got news for Kate: no man would touch her with a 12 foot pole. It's not JUST having 8 kids (though that is definitely not a plus for most guys), it's her HORRIBLE personality.
***************************************
I agree. However, guys may want to touch her kids. That's the sad truth.

My thoughts, exactly! That is yet another direct response to things she sees written about here. She claims she has ALWAYS said the kids need to be treated like individuals? Oh really? Does anyone here have any recollection at all of Khate ever saying anything even close to that? Okay someone, please provide me with just one link where Khate has said that. Seriously, sheeple, I'm waiting, I would like to see the links. Thank you in advance!
You can't believe anything Kate says. On the other hand, Huffington Post is not known for their veracity either.
I'm inclined to think they cancel each other out. Looks like publicity plants.

We know they've done a heck of a lot of traveling in the past 2 weeks and the kids must be exhausted, but from Kate's own tweets they sure didn't have much time to get good rest in a hotel before the concert.
Unless Kate was lying in her tweets, how were they to stay in a hotel prior to the concert if they were in Las Vegas on 7/23 and the concert was on the 24th and they still had to squeeze in a flight from NV to NJ?
Your explanation of Kate's relationship with the Swift family is based on what? We're to take your word that Kate is "great friends" with Mrs. Swift and that Mr. Swift advised the Gosselins? If he helped Jon and Kate early on, I'm not impressed. They signed their early contracts without benefit of an attorney, their contracts were very weak and exploitative and nothing I'd want connected with Mr. Swift.
The kids spending their summer vacation on a WORKING for 2 weeks, enduring long travel, etc. IS a big deal.
Kate has never treated those kids as individuals, Jon has. The kids are a set, team, unit, pair, 6-pack, she dresses them alike, and good the twins rebeled about that. When they are with Jon, he let's them dress the way they want. During the JK8, Kate was so anal about how they looked, Jon could care less, put cloths on them and let's go, Kate had to make sure they were perfect, and to be sideshow freaks(it's enough they were born Tups, they already feel like freaks, they don't need to look like freaks, but mom thinks it's cute). She complain about the attention she got, so dress your kids alike to draw attention. Kate you can't be on a diet and eat cake too(unless it's sugarfree) Just like this crap of thinking cause they were born together, that they like everything the same, together. Then she has the gall to say she treats them as individuals, NOT! Individuals means they have different thinking, tastes, likes, dislikes etc. Several of the kids might not like filming, or even traveling, but are probably too afraid to say, thus get the wrath of Kate. This is more of what Kate likes, cause Kate is a poor struggling single mom of 8, who earns, all of the grifting, freebies, trips etc. NOT! NOT! NOT! Cause if that is true, then millions of moms should get the same treatment.
Mr Swift isn't an entertainment attorney (which I'm guessing is what atty means?) He is a businessman and financial advisor.
Scott K. Swift. Scott Swift graduated with a business degree from the University of Delaware in 1974. He started the Swift Group, a Merrill Lynch Financial Advisory Team. Swift overseas the research and investment strategy for the Swift Group’s million asset base. Swift began the Swift Group near his family’s original home in Pennsylvania, but opened a new office in Nashville, Tennessee when Taylor earned her first country music recording contract with RCA records
Just saw this, Kate apparently does not know what TLC is putting on TV of her show. At TLC site: Aug 8th: 8 Movie Maker @ 9pm and at 9:30pm: DC Cupcake visit, not the trip out west as Kate was saying. What an idiot!
I'm sorry, is this the third article HuffPo has run on that lying sack of dung? What is up with that? How are they on TLC's payroll?
As for the obvious lie that the kids want another Daddy - I'd bet dollars to donuts that they don't.
Last week I went home to NY to help my dad after his hip replacement. we did a lot of family reminiscing including my dad retelling the story of what happened right before his 3rd wedding. i was 12 and he was about to give me another step-mom, and I lost it! Sobbing and crying and begging him not to do it - I didn't want ANOTHER step-mom!
I was 12 and had been there done that. I had a mom and a dad and still thought they would get back together. I highly doubt 7 and 10 year olds think a remarriage would be hunky-dory.
Khate is just crying poor me to all who will listen. she makes me sick.
FWIW, my dad's 3rd marriage did stick, they are still going strong 30 years later!
How sweet of Kate to think it's so sweet to bash the kids father again. I know different strokes for different folks and all but I just can't believe that people think this woman is a good mother and a role model. Hell, even Casey Anthony had offers from people who want to help her and marry her but what kind of mind can't see straight through Kate Gosselin and all her bullcrap and hatefulness? What kind of mind thinks like this? Are they stupid? Are they just like her? I just really don't get it.
From a child of divorce and a divorcee myself I can tell you for sure Kate's kids are not begging her to marry again. I had hopes into my 30's that my parents would reunite. My kids at her kids ages never wanted me to remarry (I still haven't 26 years later )let alone begged me to. Kate is so full of S. H. I. T.! and what bothers me more than anything is how she lies about things like this, using her kids to get what SHE wants. Just like saying they all moaned and cried in unison when the show was temporarily cancelled. BS! Kate is the one who moaned and cried not the kids. I really can't stand this woman and really can't understand anyone who can.
Mary M - When the twins were going to try modeling (filmed for an episode) the Swift's had already moved from PA to Nashville for Taylor's career (they've been in Nashville for 8 or 9 years now). Also "Practicing Law...." is right in that Taylor's father was(is?) a stockbroker. If Kate and Taylor's mom are such "great friends" why haven't we heard Kate ever speak of Andrea? That is definately a card Kate would play becasue it would enhance her "star" power (in her mind) because she'd be all about name dropping.
Kate has friends? Come on now, everyone knows she doesn't...
Maybe practicing law without a license? said... Apparently so. LOL Did one of those "oh yes she is" sneak through again? Such details LOL
Well heck took me one minute to confirm what you posted. He surely IS in finance. With a business degree.
The Taylor Swift's Family
http://www.makemyfamilytree.com/articles/taylor_swift_family_tree.html
Father - Scott K. Swift (Born March 5, 1952) :
Taylor's business genius comes from her father, Scott K. Swift. Scott Swift raduated with a business degree from the University of Delaware in 1974. He started the Swift Group, a Merrill Lynch Financial Advisory Team. Swift overseas the research and investment strategy for the Swift Group's million asset base. Swift began the Swift Group near his family's original home in Pennsylvania, but opened a new office in Nashville, Tennessee when Taylor earned her first country music recording contract with RCA records.
Taylor's doting father used his business contacts to offer a boost to his talented daughter's career. His close friendship with Michael DiMuzio, facilities manager for the Philadelphia Phillies, through their glory days as business students at the University of Delaware helped earn Taylor the opportunity to sing the National Anthem for the Philadelphia Phillies at the 2008 World Series. This National exposure helped Taylor share her voice with music executives.
I'm confident that the children said something to the effect "we want Daddy" not "we want A daddy. No Kate they want THEIR Daddy and not some substitute.
That woman has to be the cruelest person to constantly throw Jon under the bus. I can only imagine how much bitching she does to the children about him and how much she whines & complains to him.
"Jooooonnnnn you are the worst excuse for a human being, Joooonnnnn you really are a lazy ass"
Turn the table and substitute Kate and you might come close to the truth however we know that Jon has more class and is smart enough to keep his mouth shut and not flame the fires under that *&(*)'s butt.
Oh, August 8th will be a K8 fest from 3p eastern time, to 10p. They are showing all the Aussie, Philly and the 2 I mentioned already. A good night to spend with your own kids or watch more intelligent shows like Doctor Who etc.
I don't know how to "twitter" so I am just wondering......Does anybody ever say anything negative back to Kate when she "twitters?"

______________________________________________
Sadly, Kate and Naughty Rob seem to have found a way to use each other. Kate has found a platform for thinly veiled slams on Jon and Rob has found that alot of people hate Kate. Which equals hits on HuffPo to read the article and/or post about it. Nobody Likes A Narcissist, thank you for posting the article here so there's no need to go to HuffPo & give them the hits.
For the life of me I don't understand why Jon does not demand a gag order. Does he not have the right to not have his name mentioned by her in public, in print or online? He is doing the right thing by taking the high road, staying quiet and not taking the bait. But IMO, she has crossed a line, stating that the kids pound their fists on the table and demand a new, live in Daddy. Kate has made some ludicrous statements in her time but this one immediately goes in to the hall of fame.
Poor, poor Kate, home alone with 8 kids, no help, not even able to start her laundry in two days. Nothing to say about how grateful she is to TLC for yet another free trip. Just "so much to do for 1 mom of 8 kids". Who in the world, even sheeple, will believe that she just does it all - if that's true, the dog is dead and so is her lawn, guess the pool is full of algae since poor Ms. No Help just walked out the door two weeks ago, having, no doubt, packed all by herself, for herself and 8 kids. And now she has the audacity to intimate that her children are begging for another Daddy - I am embarassed for her, it just doesn't stop. Maybe her Crew Daddies can help her with the laundry when they return to film in the basement straight for the next two weeks. School must be looking pretty good to the kids right about now. Liar, liar, pants on fire - and that's one big blaze.
Kate tweets she' made dinner (first time in wks) has no help now. What the heck would she need help with. Kids are old enough to put on pjs and brush their own teeth. I don't picture her doing any bedtime ready, if anyone does it's Mady and Cara. Has she been gracious enough to let Jon see kids for dinner since they've been home.
Sorry, I meant to say that I stand FIRM in my hatred of her! damn spellcheck ;)
Really though, she makes my blood boil. I can't stand liars.
LYING, SELF-PROMOTING, DESPICABLE BITCH. SHE CAN GO TO HELL. I have zero tolerance left for this fraud.

Hmmmm... how to interpret this poor millionairess's pity party. As Dulcina said, it could mean the help went home for the night, forcing Kate to have hands-on contact with the kids. Or, it could mean she currently has no nannies in the stable because they've all quit. And when she gets in contact with prospective new hires, they probably claim bad connection and quickly hang up upon finding out who she is. She is "overwhelmed" by chores and having to give her kids the basic care they need. If she only knew what REAL single mothers have to face on the day to day. Shallow, vapid idiot, that one is.
Oh a post on this latest parental alienation stunt is coming, and it's going to include a little bit of rebuttal, 15 Minutes Gosselin style!
Maybe the kids are excited about their dad getting married and them getting a NEW mom and Kate just can't stand it...so she flips it around. Seriously, my daughter's father and I divorced when she was 4 and she never asked for a new dad, because she had a dad.
In reference to "Kate Gosselin’s Kids: ‘We Need A Daddy!"
Oh brother, I needed high boots just reading through that bullsh*t!
Those kids have a father already- and by the looks of it, they have an affectionate and loving relationship with him. I sincerely doubt they want another daddy.
Kate is the one that wants a new daddy- A SUGAR DADDY.
Just one more thing, Kate--sorry you are so overwhelmed with a life you CHOSE with the intent of producing moneymakers. Without those "overwhelming" moneymakers, you would be as poor as a church mouse. Shut up and quit whining, complaining, and lying you ungrateful excuse for a mother and human being...I want to slap you.
Re: Kate saying the kids need to be treated like only children - she's speaking materially. She feels the kids need to have all the material wealth that a family with only one child can provide.
Kate, you're wrong. I give you the Dilley's as an example. Their situation was very similar to you and Jon's. She worked as a nurse and for many years was the sole bread winner while her husband stayed home and home schooled their kids and believe me they had no where near what you had when you lived in your first house. The kids are teens now and are amazing! And they didn't have a McMansion, any toy they wanted, clothes from gymboree or limited too etc., or trips across America and the globe. They had each other and that's what matters.
How sad that your self worth is wrapped up in what you have. How sad that you are teaching your children to view themselves the same way.

I knew we'd be hearing from you soon. Parental alienation.....a subject that really irks Admin:) Looking forward to your new post.
Hey jude says -abc said..Kate tells me.."I would rather go without sleep than have my kids go without what they deserve.."
" Well, my dear Kate, you had better get a good sleep to-night and get an early start on this list in the morning. BTW, there aren't enough minutes left in your life to make up for what you deprived them of...
1. wake each with a kiss&cuddle
2. tell them you love them until they believe you
3. try and get the right name,especially the boys- this may take time ,as you will have to pick each child off the floor
4. ask them how they slept and what they would like for breakfast- smile so they won't think you're sick or crazy
5. bring Mady back to the table and convince her it really is you- cackle or bleat if you must and show her your 54th pink i-phone you left in your car
6. tell Cara what a pretty smile she has and help her close her gaping,shocked mouth
7. sit down and eat breakfast with them, cereal, toast ,peachy things in yogurt and orange juice-freshly squeezed
8.after they've eaten, tell them each to throw their plastic divided plates and bibs in the garbage. Saw the legs off their high chairs ,so they are normal height
9. Tell them all that you have been a selfish,greedy,douchebag disgrace of a mother and you're sorry.Tell them your father has always loved you and does not want you to film anymore.Admit that you are a liar and you are going to stop right now.
10. Ask them to forgive you-cry real tears,wipe your snotty nose on your sweat pants...KEEP DOING THIS UNTIL...THEY BELIEVE YOU!
Kate, as one mom to another- I might not have your house, money ,clothes,or infamy.I have something more precious than anything money can buy...My kids and grand-kids eyes light up when I walk in the room!They know I love them and nothing they do could ever change that.
Wake up Kate ,if it's not too late already.Your kids love you, even as nasty a cow as you have been to them.Try being a real Mom-I promise it is the best feeling in the world.....

You're welcome. Although I put the link in my posts just to show where I got the article, I like to paste the articles here in full so we don't give anyone hits for Khate articles.
Admin, thanks for letting me submit those lengthy comments with articles. I am anxiously awaiting your new post; this should be good!

I know! Khate certainly brings out that reaction in people, doesn't she?
Actually, I was just thinking that I'm surprised that Khate hasn't started making the twins do the laundry yet.
Did Ashley quit? She's between baby sitters and overwhelmed. Just so overwhelmed.
This article just has to be the one where she hangs herself for good!

Ok new post up, answering Kate's lies....
so sick of her said... Oh, August 8th will be a K8 fest from 3p eastern time, to 10p. They are showing all the Aussie, Philly and the 2 I mentioned already. A good night to spend with your own kids or watch more intelligent shows like Doctor Who etc.
Excellent! i love the Doctor. Have you ever watched the Catherine Tate shoe; she played Donna on Dr Who. Youtube her as she is an excellent comedic genius. Especially google Lauren Cooper (either Dr Who or David Tennant)
she is pure genious
I don't understand why Kate worries so much about the laundry.It's not like the kids will go naked if she can't wait for the help to do it the next day!Does Kate think 3 dresses and several odd socks make up a load in Kate's world? Honestly, she makes me want to rip a new one for her...
Call me stupid, but what does this day of the week kind of person mean? I'm confused...
Maybe practicing law without a license? said... Apparently so. LOL Did one of those "oh yes she is" sneak through again? Such details LOL
================
Well, at least we know that "oh yes, she is" is alive and well and still "inventing" details that just don't jive with the facts! I'm surprised she didn't say that she is a paralegal in his Nashville law office!
Taylor has her own entertainment attorney, and it isn't her father!
http://www.popeater.com/2010/10/08/taylor-swift-dan-dymtrow/
From his investment firm's website:
Scott K. Swift, CFM, First Vice President - Investments
"Scott joined Merrill Lynch in 1981 after graduating from the University of Delaware. He heads the research and investment strategy for the Swift Group's $400 million asset base out of the Nashville, Tennessee office. As he approaches his 30 year anniversary with Merrill Lynch, he continues to specialize in advising high net-worth individuals, business owners and corporate executives. He is a member of Merrill Lynch's Circle of Excellence. Scott and his wife, Andrea, have two children, Taylor and Austin. Singer/songwriter Taylor is a four-time Grammy winner and CMA Entertainer of the Year, in addition to being the #1 selling artist for 2008 and 2009. Austin is a senior in high school and has been accepted to Notre Dame."
If he earned his law degree, it was on the sly and there is no mention on his F/C website of the law school he attended or the year he graduated.
For the life of me I don't understand why Jon does not demand a gag order. Does he not have the right to not have his name mentioned by her in public, in print or online?
*****
Just let her go. She will bring about her own demise. The more she opens her mouth, the better he looks. She's just too darn stupid to realize it.
I think Butterfly has something there. This IS probably just kate turning around the chance that Jon and Ellen may get married and they wwould have a new mommy to the fact that her kids want her to get married so they have a new daddy. In reality (or in the realest of real) SHE wants a new 'daddy' for herself (fat chance in hell of that happening and it ISN'T ALL the fault of her 8 count 'em eight kids, wrap THEM up in her nastyish personality and voila, THERE is the reason no one is calling her. What guy in his right mind would go after a shrew like that when there are how many years/seasons/episodes of filmed/documented/verified PROOF that she is a bitch? And then just add the work of dealing with those 8 kids she has verbally/emotionally/mentally abused for how many years/seasons/episodes. WHO NEEDS THAT?
Hi, NlaN. Maybe Kate's arms were sore from learning to fly a plane, not ab. machine! LOL!Now, that is a scarey thought...We all now how cheap those lessons would be, compared to gymnastics for the kids.yeah...unless these lessons were from a date,gasp, or new show.Gag me.....
readerlady, thank-you so much for the nursing info,many similarities to ours.I still hope she doesn't have to return to nursing -not fair to any ill person to have to deal with her nasty personality.I really doubt that she kept up her education credits,which are recquired to keep her RN certification. But, I have been wrong before!
