Jon to Kate: 'There are families out there that have several kids, people work normal jobs and things work out .... Reality television is not a career'
Jon speaks out during Kate's latest poor me tour, telling Kate to "Get back to normal life, simple life, provide for your family."
Meanwhile, Kate was hoping no one would notice a certain third wheel hanging around, an Audi sports car.
@maggie Her car is a hatchback and NOT a convertible. The only convertible you can get in the TT is a soft top. There is no retractable hard top in her model.
Well most people would be embarrassed to blab so much about their finances too. Other celebs don't usually discuss money, it's TACKY.
Not to mention, most people would be mortified to be caught in a convertible when they just told everyone how dire everything is.
But this is Kate, she doesn't seem to react as normal people do to anything. She doesn't even seem to get why hopping into a convertible right now is a problem for folks.

Well, as we say here on the East Coast, Kate is a stunned arse.
She's crying and wailing on the last interview that she couldn't make Jon stay with her. Last kick at the can l suppose. I guess she forgot SHE filed for divorce and made Jon sleep in the apartment over the garage. I guess SHE forgot she gave Jon an allowance. Boo Hoo bitch! You ran off anybody and everybody that cared for you and the kids. Day late and a dollar short Khate. You had no pity for the kids when they were tired and needed you to cuddle them. None shown to you now.
************************************************
Now she shows remorse? Boo hoo bitch, is right! Who in their right mind could willingly stay with Kate?
That woman is an insufferable emotional black hole.
In the Jon & Kate years, he always had a defeated, beaten down look on his face.
The only remorse Kate has is that she lost control over Jon. And I say, thank God Jon got out in good time.
AuntieAnn said... I agree. Although I'm sure Kate will find a way to make remembering that tragic day all about herself anyway. Narcissist that she is and all.
*************
I can see it now. "I um remember where me me me was that day and I I I might have been told about all the people that um died and our brave Mr. Rescue Mans. Me me me is very sad that we used to um commemoryied that day but comma sadly comma me me me is all um alone now and I I I cant do it allish you know."
But comma sadly comma, or sadly comma no comma, are her favorite twitdom expressions now.
Since Kate doesn't watch the news or pick up a newspaper (unless on vacation), we might do better to ask her where she was on Sept 12 or 13th when she finally heard about it.
@friend in Pennsylvania I hear you and although the manufacturer recommends premium gas, it's gas none the less so when the price goes over 4 dollars per gallon, regular looks pretty damned good. On a newer model, most people don't have to worry about the maintenance costs however if you plan to keep it as I did with a previous model A8 it does add up.
I like the Audi and am on my second one and stick by the manufacturer recommendations. Biggest maintenance issue with the Audi's are the timing belts, wheel bearings and the turbo if the car is equipped with one. The other problem with these cars is the dashboard LCD screen that gives you warning signs and maintenance reminders. An Audi is nothing more than a glorified VW for twice the price.
I stick with the premium fuel, synthetic oil, regular maintenance and hope for the best. Would I do it again? probably not but then again, I'm not a father of 8 kids and my car is a 5 passenger. Would I recommend this car to someone else, maybe. It's a totally balanced vehicle that handles well, looks good and is better engineered than any American car I have ever owned.
If Kate wants one she should have one. I just think that the timing was wrong and the image it projects doesn't coincide with the "Brand" she's been trying to sell all these years. She's put herself out there as "America's Mom". The last thing most MOMS drive are Audi TT's.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
There is a lot more wrong here than the "timing". Kate didn't buy that car -- her children did. The only effort she put into acquiring it involved lying and pimping.
I couldn't disagree more that if Kate wants one she should have one.
No, Kate needs to fund her children's college accounts fully. Kate needs to set up a trust to make sure they have money beyond that as well for six years of work. Kate also needs to enroll the kids in gymnastics and sports and summer camp and everything else well-rounded kids do. These are all things she has at one point claimed she hasn't done yet.
Then and only then might she consider taking a little bit of her Dancing With the Stars money and buying herself a toy.
Okay, this is funny....my son came home from work at Costco today...no copies of People sold yesterday, but ONE woman came in and bought 6 copies, and was blabbing about how it was the least she could do to show support for Kate, and how all the "friends of Kate" turn every TV in their house to her show on Mondays to help her ratings. Oh, Lord...like my 19-year-old son wants to hear a load of crap about Kate. I don't get it...why do these people feel the need to "help" her? Can't she make it on her own if she is such a big star to them? And the thing about turning every TV in the house to her show--would that even work? Do they count the number of televisions when calculating ratings, or just count one per household? Strangest thing I have EVER heard!
@at base by a mile Respect your correct. Won't argue with you on your points. I'm as adamant about my previous posts as you are tonight. The car, the perks the personal trips and all that she's done over these years are truly maddening. It's Kate. It's what she does with total impunity.
I posed a question last night to her twitter fans as to who buys 2 vehicles in one fell swoop on the same day and the only response was from Iwana. Come to find out he bought 2 vehicles on the same day back in the 1990's and they were used.
No one goes out and buys 2 cars on the same day for family use and personal use. Evidently at the time, Kate thought the money was going to continue to flow and she said "WTF". Her problem now, not ours. Not a rational decision that most normal people would make but she made the decision for whatever reason.
The pathetic picture is that Kate's now been photgraphed in that ridiculous 2 seater three times in the past two days. She looks like a fool. We all agree that the kids worked to pay for that car and she looks even more ridiculous driving it. As I said, if Kate wants it, she should get it. You and I both agree it was stupid. Let her hang herself. I'd love to have a BMW 750LI. If I could afford it, earned it, can meet my other obligations, I'd probably do it. I can't. Kate makes so much more than I do and most of us do on the contract she has with TLC. She sees it as being her money. We don't. I hope she enjoys the thrill of the car and we all know who paid for it but nothing we can do or say that will change it.
It seems obvious maybe Kate has a different view of what "tacky" is? Clearly.
What's tacky is the purchase. What's tacky is her behavior. What's tacky is her, "I don't feel dressed without wearing heels."
I'm confused. At one point Kate said the kids had full college funds I think, and later you hear that the kids don't have full college funds. Well...which one is it? You can't have it both ways Kate. But maybe in the world of Kate Gosselin, whatever she says that particular days must suit her fancy.
What's is she going to wear when she can't afford her expensive high heels anymore? I mean I own a few pair but I'll be damn if they are all that comfortable to wear all the time! She's nuts!
Something's really been bothering me about the twins. I know a lot of people were saying that Jamie and Ashley shouldn't have been talking about Kate in front of them, and maybe that's true, but think about when Mady and Cara got sent back to the RV before they went to that "waste of space", the Grand Canyon. They were both pretty hysterical.. I suspect that happens a lot, and when they went into that RV with Ashley, I'm sure it didn't just turn into sunshine and rainbows immediately, although Ashley does seem like a ray of sunshine to me... I bet those girls confide in Ashley a lot when subjected to their mom's tirades. Cara didn't seem in the least upset by them talking, either, so I'm not sure their behavior was too outrageous.
I know I'll never be famous in this world, and I truly have absolutely no desire to be, but I do want to be important to my children. I want them to respect and take what they learned from me and think it's important enough to pass on to their children. I've already experienced a lot of appreciation of how I raised them now that some are all the way grown.
It just makes me feel so sad for the Gosselin children that their mom has literally become a national joke. Children are awfully perceptive, and I know they realize in their own way that they have been sold out by their own mom. It's just pitiful. They won't even have to read blog archives or tabloids when they're older. They already know. I don't think I've ever witnessed a more selfish mom.
When Kate was first canceled she was frantic with worry. She renewed her nursing license, she worried about how she was going to make it. I think she was scared. But then she calmed down dramatically, and tweeted that she planned to stay on television as long as she could. I thought she had signed a new show of some sort. I couldn’t believe anyone would be foolish enough to sign her but she certainly seemed not fearful all of a sudden. Then it occurred to me that she probably came in for a pretty sweet severance package. It could have run to the seven figures. Even mid seven figures would not be out of the realm of possibility. So I think she is calmer only because she has breathing room now. I don't think she has anything lined up. (Really, is any producer THAT stupid?) Only my thoughts.
Room to Breathe said..... Then it occurred to me that she probably came in for a pretty sweet severance package.
******' Yep, it's possible TLC bought out her contract. If so, she's free as a bird to peck Vanna White right off the stage, or hit Broadway in the revival of "Taming of the Shrew".
Administrator said...Not to mention, most people would be mortified to be caught in a [sports car] when they just told everyone how dire everything is.
A sports car, regardless if it's a convertible or not, is not a practical purchase after admitting her kids are worried whether they'll continue to live in the same house or go to the same school. Even if she bought it six months ago. If she's telling People magazine that she has money saved that will last "for a little while", then the sports car is one of the first purchases that needs to go back.
What is Kate's definition for "a little while"? Some American families have unemployed parents for over a year, if not two, so it would be wise for her to cut back now and save every cent she has while she can. That's why I can't cut her some slack, knowing that their current lifestyle is financially draining them. If she's so adamant about staying in McMansion and keeping the kids in private school, then she needs to stop with her extraneous purchases like said sports car. If she splurged for this, who knows what else she has splurged on as well.
Her frustrations with those pap photos is that she got caught with her hand in the cookie jar, making her look bad right after that People article was released. Kate's looking for public sympathy & freebies and those pics don't help...at all.
Lake Up North, Kate mentioned to People that the kids have college funds established but nothing was mentioned if they were fully funded.
So the Audi isn't a convertible? Why go on about a sports car convertible yet not get one? Hmmm...part of me wonders if the dealer duped her into getting this car. Maybe it's a lemon they wanted to get off their hands, so she got a good deal on it. It wouldn't surprise me if she just believes what the dealer says and doesn't do any homework on used cars.
@lake up north Everything you say is dead on. Tacky is as tacky does. I've been way too vocal about Kate and how she exploits her kids for way too many years. I've hung on to the "tacky" and have have made way too many snide and snarky comments as to her behavior. My intention wasn't to destroy Kate. My mindset was the hurt and harm she was doing to her kids.
I didn't want to witness that and say nothing, sit back and encourage it. I'm just one voice in a big world that matters to no one other than my kids, my siblings and my S/O.
At times I took my animus to degrees that many thought were "out there" "innappropriate" and "offbase". Was I wrong? NO. I was totally against the use of these kids to further a parent who is living off the backs of innocent kids. Was I right? NO. I didn't witness or live the experience of the family going through this travesty.
Would I do it again? YES! Absolutely. I hated the fact that 8 kids were being used to further the goals and aspirations of a totally out of touch mother who sought fame and fortune on the notoriety of being the breeder of 6 tups and a set of twins.
What have I learned from this? I've learned that no matter what I say or share, there is always opposing opinions and nothing I have shared or posted over these past years has changed Kate or the kids situation. I'm better off, reading the thoughts from all of those I've met over these years who felt the same as I. I'm baffled by the responses by fans who didn't agree with my stance.
What is more telling is that I'm in awe at the media that has for years givin Kate a pass and never asked the cold hard questions. After Monday , my personal goal, to get the kids off TV will be settled. I didn't accomplish that goal on my own. It took blogs like this, tweets, and blogs all over the net to voice our disgust at this travesty.
Finally the show comes to an end. As much as I felt like a voice for the kids, I too, now feel sorry for Kate. Really do. I see a broken woman without friends, family and a support network to pull her back into reality. At one point I saw in Kate a kind and sweet person when she surprised Jon with his trip to Florida, years ago. She came off as a good person and fun. Despite the years of her Diva personality that she's taken to the max, I still see some good in her that may surface when she gets her priorities in place.
I hope she does. None of us are perfect and given a TV camera crew and a chance to make money, we'd either opt for one or the other. Unfortunately for Kate, she got both opportunities at the same time, a mother from Central PA who would have never been known to the world had she not had a litter.
Wish her well after Monday and hope and pray the kids come through this with little scars, big smiles, huge dreams and a way to filter the years of being in a fish bowl and can filter the comments as they get older.
Did this fan always put the G on the end? I don't remember it well, but I thought it didn't have the G originally.
=====================
Originally, it was BigFanOfKateG, NOT BigFanOfK8. Check BigFanOfKateG twitter page. She has not tweeted since 9/6. This is the original BigFan, the lonely one without friends who was eating garlic and wearing Spandex.
http://twitter.com/#!/@BigFanofKateG
However, BigFanOfK8 is NOT a Kate fan (tweets are not complimentary), but the avatar and bio is the same as the original BigFanOfKateG.
So, either the original BigFan did an about-face on her allegiance and changed her name to BigFanOfK8, or BigFanOfK8 has hijacked the original Big Fan's account.
http://twitter.com/#!/BigFanOfK8
I don't know much about Twitter, so I'm not too sure what happened here, but personally, I don't think it's the same person. The first one was very childish and naive; this one is bold and brash.
Someone upthread pointed out about BIGFAN has not been sounding or typing the same. NOTE:This is not the same account! The "original" username was "BigFanofKateG" and has not tweeted since Spet 6th. She actually deleted her account that day after Kate blocked her. Then she re-opened her account a few days later but has not tweeted from it. The account that is showing up in Kates comments on Twitter is username "BigFanOfK8", with same picture. The typing style, punctuation, etc is not the same as the original user. It's most likely one of the vile tweeters that copied her picture and opened a spoof account. Kate blocked the new account, but it took her quite awhile before she blocked. So reading these tweets from the new BigFan is most likely that you're reading a tweet from one of the regulars in disguise.
You must remember that Kate will never allow anyone, not anyone, to tell her what she can or can't do or what would be the right thing to do in a particular situation. Anyone who has tried has been banished to the nether regions never to be recognized again. She is so arrogant, high strung, bitchy, cruel, stupid, and there has never in the history of the world been more controlling than her. She looks so foolish tooling around in her sports car and crying poor at the same time -- but by golly she doesn't back down to anyone or anything.
"After Monday , my personal goal, to get the kids off TV will be settled. I didn't accomplish that goal on my own. It took blogs like this, tweets, and blogs all over the net to voice our disgust at this travesty."

But why the constant pounding (Twitter) on those who did not agree with your opinion? Is it necessary in one's "goal" to get her off television to relentlessly berate them, making snide remarks and snotty comments to those who simply pop on there to say that they are fans? This is what I don't understand.
Her time line on this car is a bit confusing because she says she bought it in April, but she keeps saying 6 months ago. In my reality, 6 months ago was actually March.
However, going with the April statement because I think she's stupid and just doesn't realize that April was only 5 months ago (I also think saying 6 months sounds better to her and she figures people won't bother doing the math), I did a little sleuthing..yeah I'm bored.
Twitter only keeps your last 3200 tweets and since she twats like a manic chipmunk on crack, there was no way I could look at her actual feed that far back, I had to do a lot of googling and searching this blog to find the info I did find.
She said when the car story broke:
Re car:rem the 1st X I tweeted 'going out w the girls'?I bought car that day-in April! It's used&I traded my black suv 4 2used vehicles-
So using that as a guide I went back to April and began searching. I couldn't find that exact tweet, but the "girls night out" type tweets were all around the beginning of April.
The one where "the girls" decided that it was time for her to ask Iwanna for his picture was on April 9. So it was some where around that time..a few days prior probably.
The infamous gymnastics are too expensive tweet was on April 20.
I'm not sure how she thinks the timing of these pictures makes her look bad. The fact that she has done this AT ALL makes her look bad.
By her own admission, no matter how you cut it, within days of purchasing this car, she said that she couldn't afford gymnastics for the kids.
I wish there was a way to get this kind of information to people in the media that would actually REPORT it and stop letting her cry poor.
Most importantly, I wish that someone (authorities) would step in and stop her from committing fraud because her followers are too stupid to be saved from themselves.
I guess there is something to be said for letting them dig their own graves, but honestly when the media lets her cry poor it gives validity to her claims people who do not have good critical thinking skills need to be saved from that kind of thing, IMO.
What ever is going to happen with Kate's $40.00 bronzer and other froufrou cosmetics? I'm pretty sure Ted Gibson/Jason Hueman are going to be nothing but memories.
What will the updated Kate Gosselin be? Only the rag magazines will know.
It's most likely one of the vile tweeters that copied her picture and opened a spoof account.
+++++++++++++++++
So the real (original) Big Fan doesn't know this is going on? If this happens, can't the original owner of the account file a report to have Twitter delete the spoof account? Sorry - I'm really not "up" on the workings of Twitter.
If this car isn't a big deal, why has she been hiding it?
We know about the POOL and the LEATHER SOFA and she talked about trading in the Land Cruiser for the Sequoia because she mentioned that it was bigger and someone here said it was like 2 inches bigger or something.
So why didn't she mention at the time what a GREAT deal she got for the LC that she got not 1 but 2 cars for it?
She knew how it would look then that's why. She must have been just holding her breath for this story to finally break, knowing the shit storm that was going to rain down on her.
She opens her yap about every. little. thing. so why not this? Maybe this is when TLC threw up their hands and said we are done trying to cover for you, you narcissistic waste of skin.
Administrator said... Since Kate doesn't watch the news or pick up a newspaper (unless on vacation), we might do better to ask her where she was on Sept 12 or 13th when she finally heard about it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We could always ask her "Top Advisor"
Expense was only one reason she gave about the gymnastics. The other reason had to do with space. I didn't quite understand what that meant, but assumed it meant the class could not accommodate all of the kids. And you know she's not going to make more than one trip a week for extracurricular activities for her kids. That would suck the life out of her oh-so-important Me Time driving her new Audi out on the open road.
HA! Maybe she was trying to tell us then that all the kids wouldn't fit into her car! And we didn't get it! The joke's on us, huh?
mkbrownlow mkbrownlow @ @micheleborba Proud to know you, my friend! If everyone had 1/100 of your passion this world would be a better place!!

Ah, brownlow - snuggling up to yet another person. Does she make a career of this? This is Dr. Michele Borba, author and child expert who has appeared on various television shows. How's the mold on that cereal by now? :-)
@ Kelly: I didn't accomplish that goal on my own. It took blogs like this, tweets, and blogs all over the net to voice our disgust at this travesty. ~~~~~~~~~~ "Blogs like like this?" You mean us "pearl cluchers?" Just asking (shrug)

^^^^^^^^^^^^
Did Kate also say that space was an issue at Hershey Park? LOL! I seem to remember that the reason was because of the expense, but it was figured out that if they used coupons and did the sunset plan, eleven of them could have gone for under $250.00. Less than the cost of one pair of her shoes.
Kelly said - Negative tweets and "POUNDING" was simply a way to inquire as to what they found so "Awesome"
-------------
There are other ways that don't involve bullying, and it IS bullying, regardless of how tweeters there try to justify it. Bullying, plain and simple. These are tweeters who did absolutely nothing to deserve that kind of treatment, especially after a non-fan recognized that his berating another tweeter was wrong, apologized for it on twitter and on this blog, but went back to bashing in no time at all.
Kate tweet at about midnight. GN all!I got everything done&need to tuck myself in.. Wondering..who will be my 49,000th follower? I better start planning our 100k party!
GN all!I got everything done&need to tuck myself in.. Wondering..who will be my 49,000th follower? I better start planning our 100k party! less than a minute ago
------- Shopping for new dresses really does take everything out of you, doesn't it? Find any good sales at Park City today? Where was Steve?
In reply to "The Real BigFan Please stand up" *********************************** I don't know for sure the answer on this with reporting a false account? I do recall when EmeraldCity was spoofed by EmeraldShity, her and HGray tweeted they were reporting it and the next day "shity" was no longer a user. Whether they scared the spoofer off of twitter or if their reporting worked, I don't know? That's all I have seen in regards to spoofs getting banned.
To "JUST ME" ***************************** Kate says 6 months most likely to glorify the length of time and to her, April, May, June, July, August, and September...that's SIX...count 'em six months, even though it's been 5 months almost to the date. Honestly, that's how Kates count-speakish thingy sorta works! The "remember the girls night out" was the night the girls said it was time for Iwanna to show his picture. Yes, that's what I see too. Then Kate and Iwanna disappeared into the night in probably an all night drunken direct message festival. Iwanna was tweeting the other night when the car issue came up on Twitter and mentioned something about that "maybe" Kate bought the car back in the spring when she got word that the show would have 2 seasons this year? Kate broke the silence just minutes after Iwanna tweeted and confirmed that she bought the car and it was back in April. It was almost like Kate was lurking and saw Iwannas tweet and panicked and then broke the silence? Was she fearing he would spill the beans? Or were her and Iwanna chatting together and he said he would make a lead-in tweet so she could tell all before it got out of control? I'm wondering if Iwanna knows more than he leads on? Something has been strange between those two all summer and why he is still there almost every day when Kates other "love interests" all last about a week then disappear? This upcoming week will be interesting to see how many people like Ashley or Jon will come forward and let it all out. I hope it starts Monday in her "media tour" and the sugar coated questions turn to sand.
oops... just got to the 2nd page of comments, and saw that someone said the car wasn't a convertible, just a sports car.. I didn't look at the pics, just found all the comments leading me to believe that she was putting out teasers about Steve...lol..my bad..
I agree with Kelly. I may not like some of the things he says on twitter, but I believe his tweets have done more overall than any of the comments on this blog have ever done. The recaps are hilariously entertaining, but the ensuing comments are just rehashing. The same things gets said over and over for hundreds and hundreds of posts. I think direct contact with Kate and the fans gets under her skin far more than the blogs do, because instead of hundreds of posts that all say the same thing on various separate sites, they have short tweets right on their twitter.
@Anonymous whoever you are. I believe you just have to speak your mind no matter who you offend. You stand for something or you don't. I'm not here to make friends or enemies. I'm here to make a point. Take it or leave it.
When someone shows up and smells like shit, you tell them "you smell like shit" You don't tell them you smell "different". Call it like it is, take the hits but know you spoke your mind. Perhaps the next time, they will show up smelling much better.
Kelly - I'm not sure what you thought I was saying, but I completely agree with telling it like it is. There have been some things you've said on twitter that I think were "off topic", but I have no problem with what you say to Kate. And as far as her fans, I think they're fair game because they're putting themselves out there.
My main point was that while this blog is a nice community of people, many of whom have become friends, I don't think it has accomplished anything other than giving people a place to talk about a common interest and laugh at the recaps.
Bullying is being passive???? That makes a heck of a lot of sense. Not!
Just a reminder, bullies aren't welcome here.
***************
Exactly. Bullying is cruel - I don't care FOR WHAT PURPOSE it is being used. It's hurtful. If that's the only means of making a point, then the tweeter who bullies is a very poor communicator and needs to sit down and think about how HE/SHE would like to be the one who is bullied - you know, the "do onto others" rule.
"ONE woman came in and bought 6 copies, and was blabbing about how it was the least she could do to show support for Kate"
It would be funny if it was one of her overzealous fans on the Internet like Baby Mama.
I couldn't find the twitter response, but Kate has been asked where she was on 9/11. I don't remember the exact details, but she said the twins were babies, and they rushed home. Maybe the Pennsylvania tragedy made her more aware.
@notanonymous I have been crude, rude and absolutely out of line at times on twitter. Won't apologize for it. It is what it is. I've also pissed off plenty of people on this blog as well as a few others, ADmin included.
I'm passionate about my feelings about children and animals and have incorporated my not so P.C. comments on both twitter and this and many blogs. I won't apologize about my comments on any of the blogs or twitter. I say it from the heart. What I will apologize for is taking such a hard stance and making the ADMIN on this blog part of my argument.
I was wrong with that stance and totally out of line. What I won't apologize for is my passion for taking a position against exploitation. After Tuesday, none of us have to worry about it, hopefully. Agreed, some of my posts on twitter were out of line but I apologize to no one and stand by each and every one of them. Glad you voiced your thoughts and they are totally considered. Kelly

I've got a news flash for all the sheeple who are thinking of spending their hard-earned money to buy this week's People magazine in order to support Katie Irene. She doesn't care how well the current issue of People Magazine sells because she's already been PAID for the PHOTOS on the cover and in the article. Now if the sheeple would convert the purchase price of however many issues they planned to buy into Target or Starbucks gift cards, that would be supportive and might earn a tweet from the queen.

Will The Real Big Fan Please Stand Up? said... Regarding the BigFan fiasco - don't the regulars over there on Twitter know that the "new" BigFan is a spoof? Hasn't anyone figured it out yet?
I also really believe Casey Kreider was a relative of Kate's. If you read through the Tweets you'll see why I think this. Once again she threw a family member under the bus all in the sake of "reflects on me in the end:(". This person was trying to stick up for Kate but the control freak that she is, could not trust her to say the "right" things so she denounced her. What a bitch!
Casey's tweets

CaseyKreider@IwanaInspireU @kateplusmy8 I'm here, but I'm bummed. :-( Was trying 2 help, but I understand K8's point. And she's right - so I'll go.

Kateplusmy8Kate Gosselin @CaseyKreider @IwanaInspireU GM! I hav 2 jump I'm here.. I DO NOT hav a relative named 'Casey Kreider'. I don't no any1 by that name. Apprec support,but specs like rest!
Kateplusmy8Kate Gosselin @CaseyKreider @IwanaInspireU & like I said- I read& appreciated ur support but can't claim u know/related2 me...reflects on me in the end:(
My sediments as well about the People Magazine purchaser-peoples. If they sell 1 copy or 1 million copies, Kate gets the same amount. Which according to her tweet the other day, is $ZERO$. Kate said they don't pay for the interview. Somehow I find that hard to believe. You mean stars donate their time so a magazine will sell? Kateplusmy8Kate Gosselin
@auntieprise1701 yes. People does interviews and NO they don't pay for them!
The way I see it, this new sports car has a lot to do with Kate's obsession to keep up with Beth. If you remember, Beth had a Porche convertible 2-seater when she was still on the show. Thinking back, Kate has purchased everything just like Beth had including this sports car, home with acreage and pool, etc. She coveted what Beth and Bob had and it became obvious. It's impossible to remain friends with someone who is jealous of you as Kate appeared to be of Beth. Sad, really.
In reply to GOT YOUR NUMBER ***************************** Your point may be correct about Casey being a relative and Kate silencing them. Others speculate it was Kate herself trying to "praise" and keep relevance and be able to tear into haters. Who knows? I noticed again this was another one that Iwanna called out, then Kate came out of nowhere and said "I have to jump in here". I mentioned a few posts ago about how it seemed like Iwanna gave Kate a lead-in tweet about the car so Kate had a feed to reply on. The same thing happened here. Is Iwanna always whining about not getting any tweets from Kate so they can throw us off when really they are in cahoots with each other? He claims no tweets in over 100 days yet Kate settles two big issues in the past two days on his lead-ins?

That tweet is just more Kate-speak:( I thought someone on this board said the magazines don't pay for the interview, but for the photos. And I would bet everyone got to keep the clothes they wore in the photos.
Agreed, some of my posts on twitter were out of line but I apologize to no one and stand by each and every one of them.
@@@@@@@
You stand by each and every comment you made? You apologize to no one? Did you post this here in June?
"I would like to take this opportunity to make a public apology to someone who I sparred with on the twitter page. As I have read from a few previous posts, some of my tweets were pushing the envelope and over the edge. I'm passionate in what I believe in but yes, sometimes, the line between passion and being an idiot is a very fine line.
I crossed that line several times but this time, I crossed it in a way that was wrong, not informed and shooting from the hip. There was someone on Kates Twitter account that responded to my snark and I responded back with more snark. I continued to call this person out and we both went back and forth in a childish way.
This person actually stopped responding to my taunts and acted like the adult, yet I continued to act like a total ass and continued to wax bravado. Truth is, this person is the one who showed the class and bravado and today I found out that this person is a true hero, a member of the military and ready to deploy once again.
He is well known if you google his name and he's a warrior, a hero and someone with a story to tell, yet, his story was being quashed by the powers that be, just because he wanted to excercise his right to free speech.
Admin, if you'll allow me to post this apology, I'll appreciate it as I'm the first one to call out Kate for all her wrongs yet I should also call me out for mine. CJGRISHAM is a hero, a warrior and I stand corrected for my childish remarks to this remarkable person. Nuff said"
Kate said they don't pay for the interview. Somehow I find that hard to believe. You mean stars donate their time so a magazine will sell?
If you do some searching this has been known, but I think it really came out during the Casey Anthony trial a lot more.
Magazines and TV stations/programs often do not pay for INTERVIEWS, but they do pay for the PHOTOGRAPHS and/or VIDEO that they run with those interviews.
That is why there is often a big scramble to get the first pics of a big celeb's baby, for example. They pay top dollar for those photos. If you do a google search about Angelina Jolie (who is famous for donating the money from first pics of Shiloh, I think it was, to some charity) and also Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes was another one that first pics of the Suri were a big deal.
Casey was paid $200,000 in licensing for photos (and maybe video I'm not sure on that), which supposedly went directly for attorney fees. This was documented during her trial.
So yeah, Kate is right, they don't pay for the interview. No one has asked her about the pictures though. I'd like to see her answer to that question, to see how she words that one. She is clever. She always words stuff very carefully
To lighten the mood a little...Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their arse when they ask where the bathroom is?
I agree with those who are describing Kate's constant talk about lack of money as "tacky." No other "stah" ever goes on television and discusses their bank accounts, do they? Kate makes Kate look so bad because she just can't keep her mouth shut. We really don't care to hear her whine about money, Jon, unemployment, or anything else. She makes no sense and 99% of us have caught on to her lying, grifting ways. Where is your pride in all this, Kate? You say you do it all. How about doing it all and remaining quiet and humble about it? Turn over a new leaf. In time, you might begin to earn some respect. Give it a try.
I'm going to suggest another reason/possible rationale for Katie Irene's decision to trade in the one Toyota for the used Toyota and the Audi back in April. First of all, we have to agree that Katie Irene has been very lucky in her 'career' in that the public was willing to put up with/ignore for the most part, her narcissistic antics in order to see the children. Second, it's been well documented that she has been given chance after chance to spin off in her own right into other jobs in the field of entertainment. Which she failed at miserably because she has no true talent. Because she is incapable of recognizing or admitting that fact, she came to believe that TLC would continue to film the children until they reached 18 and/or she would continue to be given other jobs in the entertainment field. After all, she still hadn't realized her dream job of becoming a co-host on a talk show or doing voiceovers in children's movies. I think the production meeting in April that "went very well" did not go so well and Katie Irene was told that things needed to change or the show WOULD end. So she returned home, put a positive spin on the meeting for the sheeple and stewed. Than because No Never Means No in her world and she just knew the opportunities would never end and there were other networks who would jump at the chance to have her show, she decided to show TLC that she is Can Do Kate who is able to make her own decisions and control her own destiny, etc. So she decided to get rid of/trade in the Toyota that TLC bought her as a way to say F--- You to TLC. I'm sure she rationalized her actions by telling herself she deserved it, but it also sent a message (the wrong one) to TLC. She would have been better off to sit down and work with TLC to improve the show or her chances to segue into other entertainment work. As a result, TLC has sent her a message and she is now crying in People that she was only given a moment's notice re: the cancellation of HER show. Just my two cents.
But to keep its perch, People has turned to the entertainment industry as never before, having pumped up its celebrity coverage and shelling out staggering sums for celebrity photos (the most notorious being the reported $4.1 million for the Brangelina baby photos)....
Another Excerpt: (bolding mine)
Us Weekly editor-in-chief Janice Min states, "They are among the biggest spenders of celebrity photos in the industry. They pay staggering amounts for the most nominal things to the huge things. One of the first things they ever did, that led to the jacking up of photo prices, was to pay $75,000 to buy pictures of Jennifer Lopez reading Us magazine, so Us weekly couldn't buy them.
"That was the watershed moment that kicked off high photo prices in my mind," Min added. "I had never seen anything like it. But they saw a competitor come along, and responded. It was a business move, and probably a smart one."
Also, she would have done well to remember what happened to Jon when he went up against TLC/was no longer willing to perpetuate the myth of one big happy family after he realized the negative effects their reality show had on the whole family. She should have realized that TLC held all the cards and were quite capable of getting rid of her. Heck, if she couldn't remember that or was incapable of analyzing the whole fiasco and realizing that TLC went after Jon in order to protect THEIR interests, not just hers, how did she miss the Charlie Sheen debacle this past summer? He may be starting to rebound, but he does have talent.
Memo to Kate: NO ONE is irreplaceable. You left your nursing job and the hospital where you worked is still in business. Your children are getting older and younger HOM's have been born. Other women, who have paid their dues in the entertainment field, are being given opportunities to co-host talk shows. YOU are getting older, need to grow up and take responsibility for actually parenting and SUPPORTING your children.

Unfortunately, your theory is wrong. Kate traded in the Landcruiser before she went to her production meeting. Re-posting my comment about Kate's tweet in April:

Thanks for pointing that out Gosselin Gossip. I'm not very familiar with Twitter, but I will be sure to watch the time stamps in the future. I still think that Katie Irene had some inkling that the show was not doing well when she traded the Toyota in and her actions were a deliberate dismissal of the facts and a kiss-off towards the growing disapproval of the public.
I'm surprised that Kate wants to pursue a career in TV, because she thinks it's "fun". She sure looks and sounds angry and put-out most of the time on Kate Plus 8! She talks fun, but acts like she's been sentenced to 20 years of hard labor at a gulag.
Oh man, I bet she'd be the coworker from hell. Probably very good at "angel of mercy" type stuff, like delivering flowers on the candy striper's day off, but when it comes to the icky and demanding nursing tasks? Not so much. I wouldn't put it past Kate to try to intimidate or bully young, new nurses into doing her tasks.
Susan Toyota said: I still think that Katie Irene had some inkling that the show was not doing well when she traded the Toyota in and her actions were a deliberate dismissal of the facts and a kiss-off towards the growing disapproval of the public. *************** Or, anticipating the meeting with TLC which was to take place shortly, K8 thought they were gonna give her a big 'ole raise (because she thinks she is all that)
[A post regarding Steve's new occupation.] If I receive a reply I'll let you know how Steve's counter-terrorism tactics will be utilized on behalf of kate, as we all know kate Gosselin's health and safety, not to mention happiness, are a matter of national security.
I'm very disappointed in you, Werny Gal...actually, quite offended. How callous of you to post something with this INSENSITIVE headline, ESPECIALLY on 9/11! Did you intentionally use Kate today to garner attention to yourself?
I should have posted this on her site but I stopped following her blog after her E!THS appearance. This just reminds me why I stopped.
Sorry, ending rant. Now back to what really matters TODAY.
To those tragically lost on 9/11, we shall never forget.
love it, she's wondering 'who' will be her 49K follower and says she better start planning for the 100K celebration (it only took her how many months to get half way there?).
I'll give her this, she never ceases to amaze me with her ability (TALENT) for being able to always top her last act of stupidity, just when we all say 'it can't get no stupider'.
love it, she's wondering 'who' will be her 49K follower and says she better start planning for the 100K celebration (it only took her how many months to get half way there?).
################# No real awareness of her coming irrelevance has hit her brain. If the newest tweeters weren't bought and paid for, they're the direct result of the train wreck, which will soon be over.
She'll only make 100K by buying fakes. It's all downhill from here, whether she recognizes it or not.
In response to Kate saying she gets no money for the interviews, magazines, etc. I don't know if this is true or not, I highly doubt it. But as Kate loves to contradict herself there is video of an interview with Joy Behar regarding Jodi & Kevin talking out against the kids being on TV.
In the interview Kate states that Jodi and Kevin made "hundreds of thousands of dollars" off telling their "lies". Well, if Kevin and Jodi made that much . . . why hasn't Kate?
barbee said... love it, she's wondering 'who' will be her 49K follower and says she better start planning for the 100K celebration (it only took her how many months to get half way there?).
I noticed that too. I'm oretty sure someone asked her if they could have a Twitter party when she hit 50,000 and she said yes. Guess not anymore, she's holding out until 100,000.
9/11/2001 affected everyone worldwide, especially those in the US. I live in Vancouver, Canada and go to the US all the time for gas, grocery shopping and my vacations. I love the US and all the people that I have been lucky enough to meet in person and on the blogs.
My thoughts and prayers are with everyone today in memory of those lost on Sep 11.
I love the relationship that Canada has with the US and here is a wonderful video by Tom Brokaw that explains the camaraderie.
"Even the smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness, is a way to honor those we lost, a way to reclaim that spirit of unity that followed 9/11.”— President Barack Obama
Grammy of nine said... I agree with those who are describing Kate's constant talk about lack of money as "tacky."
I agree Gammy- add me to those who think discussing finances and crying poor (especially when 1 is a millionaire) is TACKY. Grammy said Kate has no pride- again agree. Call me crazy but if I made a millionaire out of myself (or my children did it for me LOL) then I would be dang proud to be able to pay for things, like trips. And I wouldn't grift because I could pay- and would gladly pay- crazy, I know.

We're on our way to our local fire station to thank our firefighters & then a Memorial Service for 9/11, but I had to say something about Kate's people cover.
I went to the store yesterday & on 4 racks, all of her magazines were turned around. I helped out & turned around 3 more. I thought that was hilarious.
Guess I could say something about People - last week their cover story was a poignant revisit with the children whose father's died on 9/11 - this week they feature a photoshopped Kate Gosselin and her family, and an article in which she whines about their financial future. You could not make this stuff up, so if I have an opportunity today to turn any magazine covers around myself, it will give me great pleasure to do so.
I have read that even Brad and Angelina received money, which they donated to charity, for the first cover of their twins. We are getting lots of half-truths from the lips of Kate. Anyone surprised? Of course not. I just left our local Wal-Mart and the racks are full of People mags. Some were turned around! Same applied at Walgreens. Hooray!! The 99% who can't stand her photo-shopped mug are speaking out and not having to say a word. Get a clue, Kate.
Wish I could say GM 2day butthere'sstill so much hurt inthe air-it's palpable! We will nvr 4get! Thx esp 2day2all who hav fought fear..&won! about 4 hours ago &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Anyone else waiting for a sheeple to tweet something about Katie Irene fighting fear and winning? Where's Iwanna?
OT, but the magazine racks are full of People magazine in my Kansas town. Even the teenage clerk at CVS agreed when I called her a child exploiter.
Administrator said... Not to mention if they didn't get paid is she saying her kids worked without pay AGAIN?? Real fair Kate. ********** GREAT point. I remember Kate tweeted late that day, after 10pm, that she was exhausted! from the photo shoot (all for the fans, of course) and couch interviews, and I knew that the kids were doing the exact same thing. Kate just can't keep her lip zipped. She steps in it every time.
She still insists that she wouldn't be able to take the kids to the local amusement park unless TLC paid the way? Just how much does it cost to visit Dutch Wonderland?

*******
bajillions? You know if it costs more than free organic cereal, free Juicy Juice or more than what she paid for all those cups of Farmer Henry's fresh milk, Kate can't afford it.
gramof5 said... Of all the videos that I have watched of this bitch, this one has to be the one that really got my blood pressure pumping most of all.
http://www.cbs.com/daytime/the_talk/video/?play=true&pid=3Fn01ZBx9G5S1dH8vs7wrVRNNh_8o2Fh ____________ OMG! The whole 'I will never speak bad against their father' ... blah blah blah
And the sheeple truly believe this ... is what I don't understand. I've seen a lot of sheep ... and they all had ears! Take a step back and listen to her past interviews sheeple! You seriously never hear her take digs at Jon?! Then you are deaf!
She has said publicly or implied in her passive/aggressive way that ... Jon doesn't see the kids more than 2 weekends a month because Jon doesn't want to, Jon doesn't pay child support, She doesn't understand why he has any say in their children's lives, she is a 'single' parent, the kids want a "daddy", the crew is their "daddy" ... on and on. What about those digs do you not get! And there have been many many more!
I had never watched that video before though ... and to see her acknowledge the fact that her children will eventually be able to access everything that both she and Jon have said and done ... is sort of refreshing to me. In her narcissistic mind ... that relieves her of any responsibility ... because she is always right in her own mind. I guarantee, her kids will see things differently.
And I love that she says she's only speaking out on things that she can't ignore blah blah blah ... well guess what sheeple ... that's exactly what Jon did in the rumorfix video. He was finally FED UP with her lies and wanted some venue to respond. I note that he's not on the "talk show tour" Kate is on right now ... and I can guarantee you he's been offered since K8+8 cancellation was announced!
He decided he's not going to sit back and listen to Kate lie to the public about him anymore! He spoke up! He did it respectfully and not knifing her in the back like she does him. And he's done!
I have NO DOUBT that once those kids are old enough .. they will realize which parent loved them for who they are ... and which parent was there to make money and a "career" for herself off of them from BEFORE the day they were conceived.
On a day that I've seen the BEST that humanity has to offer ... I can truly say that she's one of the worst humanity has to offer.
And lastly, Katie ... most stars make it a point to minimize their not so attractive features. The fact that you don't let comments process in your brain before they come out of your mouth ... or your little tweeting hands ... would be something I'd work on if I were you.
If you would ever find some humility ... not treat the father of your children like shit ... along with the "help" and your own children ... people might find you likable again some day. But it's going to be an uphill battle now ... and it's going to depend on you changing.

Dutch Wonderland is $34.99 per person for ages 3-59.
I'm a little behind, did she recently say she can't afford to go there? Why is it that she is seemingly unable to "make a memory" unless TLC is filming it and footing the entire bill?

Good Afternoon all! I just hopped on the computer to send messages to my dear UK friends, turns out I seem to have 3 of them... And thought I would check in here too.
Wanted to do some really good American things today, so we went tailgating at the football stadium parkinglot! Fun!!! Like a giant block party! Except we lost the game. Grr. Now we are home and expecting some friends plus some family for a backyard fire and some wine. If it doesnt rain - well, then we will just all be in my modest house and we will put some music on! I am making potato skins, and cutting up veggies for a snack tray. Hope all are having a peaceful day.
Based upon my experience with blogs, the posts that appear that are "being moved" happens because of when they are approved. The posts are all in time order, so if admin approves a post at 1:00 first, then later approves a post that was done at 12:30, the 12:30 post will fall automatically into the correct time slot, not in the order of approval.
This blog moves fast, so when this happens, it unfortunately can cause a post to be missed.

ok thanks. can't find previous posts. In ref to rule #1, had a name. 2 of them. And both times someone took those names and started using it as their own. This site and others. So weird..
Thank you for the candle, Admin. I needed just that amount. Sometimes I work in Manhattan and go in through Port Authority when I take the bus, or Penn Station when I take the train. I am proud of America but am so saddened to see the National Guard wielding assault rifles standing around in both of those places. I love them that they are willing to protect me and everyone else but hate that it's necessary. What was taken from us is so much more than all the innocent who died that day 10 years ago. I have been listening to helicopters buzzing around outside for hours now and wondered if this, too, had something to do with the commemorations--then realized, no. These helicopters have nothing to do with the death and destruction--they are celebrating. Jets and Cowboys playing today at The Meadowlands. And I realized life does go on. Even here. We had our day of mourning. Let us now live again.
Target in central Illinois. Checkout magazines -- several slots with reduced inventory. People was still stuffed full. Made my contribution and turned the issue around to reveal the backside. She makes me ill!
Purple Skies -- not true. Lots of us post and aren't regulars. Sometimes just won't go through. I am always posting as Anonymous (which works) and then adding my name underneath. Don't give up. Site is quite open and fair and welcoming.
Finally saw pics of the car. A really cool, great car.
My kids are all grown up and I still need trips to Sam's for giant bundles of paper towels. She can't fit groceries into that car. When will she be using the Cougar-Mobile?
Okay, I've stayed away from using Anonymous due to rule #1, but have noticed a high number of posters use it anyway (and then add a name at the bottom of their post). The odds haven't been in my favor as far as "sometimes just won't go through", because most often my comments don't get posted & I've tried for a few months now. lol I'll keep trying. Thanks! :-)
Purple no, I haven't deleted a single comment from you. Make sure your comment says it went through (little message below comment box after you hit post comment) before jumping to conclusions.
Purple Skies, I don't think it's personal at all. Sometimes my posts just don't seem to show up and then much later I see they are there, in chronological order. Like they disappeared into the ozone for a bit or something. Could be the browser you're using too. Mine defintely makes a difference (between two different computers).
Just wanted to let you know that Canadians are pausing and reflecting as we remember this day. With tears in my heart, I pray for all those lives lost that day and their families who had to carry on.
None of us are promised to- morrow, so let's hold our families close and be thankful for all our blessings.
The whole world changed that day, and we will never forget. Thinking and praying for you, your friends and neighbors to the North.
I will never forget that sign that said "We are all New Yorkers." Thank-you N.E. Psychologist for reminding me. There were no borders that day, either ;it was North America.

Admin, a comment I made earlier this morning before 5am PT got published but it's no longer there. I got the "your comment was published" message and saw it posted in this thread.
It was in regards to a Kate-related article with an insensitive, very inappropriate headline, especially since it was published today on 9/11.
Anonymous, are you posting in this thread or another? A previous thread, "Kate's real wheels...", has some anonymous comments posted today.
Thank you fellow Canadians, Americans everywhere appreciate your caring and support. Regarding posts not getting up, be *sure* that your post got submitted.

TLC I think I figured it out the issue at least with your comment.
If you use blogger they have a "spam" box, I checked it to see if anything was in there, sure enough there was your post. I checked not spam and like magic it's now appeared again.
I have a feeling the "matter of national security" language or whatever was said in your post was probably what triggered the spam filter. A filter I see is seriously flawed.
Re the Twit's twit about reflecting today and focusing on what's important . . . family and friends. She must be looking at herself in the mirror - no family, except the kids, but to her they're just little moneymakers (so sad, they deserve so much better) and friends - uh no! As we all know the only thing she focuses on is herself. And being together today - the kids must have come home from Jon's, not because they wanted to, but they had to.
I think I just figured out one of the issues.....comments are subsequently getting marked as spam. My spam box has 39 comments in it I have to go through.
Apparently you have to train the spam filter, and there's NO OPTION to turn it off. Ugh, off to train.
I suppose Kate isn't twittering much today because she is in NYC getting ready for her final round of interviews. She and Stevie are probably dining at Nobu as we speak.
Whatever the reasons, I think for once Kate is doing what NORMAL celebs do on a day like this. One or two tweets tops about how they are remembering this day, then shut the f up.
Not the best day to be twitter-twatting about yourself all day. Kate either gets that, or is busy.

Anonymous, you might be posting in a previous thread as I see comments from anonymous posted there. Are those yours?
just got back from the grocery store. Tons and tons of People left. they are all packed full. Woman's Day ..... only a couple left in each slot. Nat. Enquirer about 1/2 full.
Was happy to see the Redskins and Lions win today. Welcome back NFL! College football not as fun for me the past 2 weeks... :(
Not all surprised to hear Billy Bush is being an asshole, it's in his blood. I hope none of Jon's kids saw it. Though they may agree with the bad things said about their mum, it's still very hard to hear it. I know it was/is for me.
Kate thinks there is a direct relationship to the number of twitter followers she has to the prospect of getting another tv job. She probably didnt start tweeting until she got the vibe from TLC that her show was on thin ice. They have probably asked her to tweet for a while and she only started when she felt she needed to in order to stay on tv. She thinks if she gets million plus followers that shes guaranteed a job.
As a Canadian, I too commemurate this sad day. My cousin was among the 24 Canadians who lost their lives in New York on 9/11. I have been so proud of my fellow Canadians in Newfoundland who opened their hearts and homes to the many U.S. citizens who were stranded there when their flights were diverted on that day. For some who spent time at community centers without bathing or shower facilities, the good people of Newfoundland put signs in their windows offering a bath or shower and/or a meal to any and all travellers. Today has been a somber day of recollection for my family.
The majority of her so called "followers" are thought to be dead beat Twitter accounts, and some say she bought them from a web site to look relevant. But, those facebook people are real, and they are not happy about KG. The posts are into the thousands combined, all from newspapers and other media outlets. Sponsors need to beware. Those fb people are serious about her getting off TV, getting a real job and for her to stop begging for money, telling lies, and hiding from the IRS. The majority told her to become a real parent to 8 broken down children. The recent lies she posted on her twat account, and in the interview for People Magazine, stating she is broke, then flaunts, a new to her, $50,000, car, along with the statement that her 6 figure (or more) "Manger" will stay on with her, most likely finished off her dreams of any TV future career.
The People Magazine in the markets, and service station stores in the deep south, were turned backwards, and it did not appear any were missing from the stack bins. This was over the week-end at a few different stores. Bad PR move on People's part. 9/11 was not about KG. Waste of money for all those sponsor ads to sit there to collect dust, with no one seeing them.
I think facebook is one of the better judges of public opinion. A wide variety of people are on it, a better cross section that those that might visit a blog. It's very hard to fake an account so you're not getting a misrepresentation of how people feel and the amount of people who feel that way. And people put their real names behind it, which often suggests they are so convicted they are willing to put their name behind it and it's not just a shit-stirring driveby.
Kate was right from the beginning, it looks to me too like about 90% of folks see through her, if not more.
My kids are all grown up and I still need trips to Sam's for giant bundles of paper towels. She can't fit groceries into that car. When will she be using the Cougar-Mobile?
++++++++++++++++
One would be surprised at the number of plastic grocery bags that can be squeezed into the trunk of that car. I have the same car. I had a cart and a half of groceries, and the nice young man who helped me load the groceries (they do that as a courtesy where I shop) laughed when I pointed to my car, figuring I'd never get all of the bags into the trunk. They all fit.
Yes, she can fit groceries in that car, although I'm not sure why she wouldn't take the SUV to do her grocery shopping. Maybe she does.
On of Kate's super fans is busy trashing administrator on her site in her latest post and boy does she have a lot to say! This one makes Baby Mama look sane (of course there friends as you would expect) For those of you who aren't familiar with it just Google zigglyflo at blogspot and it will come up. Her blogs are unreal. She has an excuse for all Kate's behavior and basically everyone else is wrong but Kate, always. Guaranteed laughs to who ever is interested
"On of Kate's super fans is busy trashing administrator on her site in her latest post and boy does she have a lot to say!"

There are those who think that they are above the law when it comes to libel. They are playing with fire. One of these days they are going to have a very rude awakening, and it isn't going to be very pretty.
SHE was mad at TLC even before the meeting. There was no logic to her trading in the LC, that TLC gave HER. Size was not the issue. There is barely a difference. It prob did piss TLC off. You know, the saying "don't look a gift horse in the mouth?"
TLC was good to her and her children. Too good. Many of us will never be treated like that in our life time. I don't get it, I really don't with her.
"Originally, it was BigFanOfKateG, NOT BigFanOfK8. Check BigFanOfKateG twitter page. She has not tweeted since 9/6. This is the original BigFan, the lonely one without friends who was eating garlic and wearing Spandex.
However, BigFanOfK8 is NOT a Kate fan (tweets are not complimentary), but the avatar and bio is the same as the original BigFanOfKateG.
So, either the original BigFan did an about-face on her allegiance and changed her name to BigFanOfK8, or BigFanOfK8 has hijacked the original Big Fan's account."
=========
I just read some recent tweets by BigFanOfK8, and I would bet the farm that I know who it is - several of the person's signature tags (from Twitter) are all over them, and it is NOT the original BigFanOfKateG posting as BigFanOfK8.
Emschick, no need to bring that nonsense over here. That blogger is truly deranged and has made up lies out of thin air not just about Jon but about other bloggers like me. Last winter I believe was when she dreamed up an article about Jon that never existed, it was then that a lot of folks here said they finally believed me when I said she made up things out of thin air about me too.
She has repeatedly said that I begged for donations, I lost some kind of school scholarship, and I'm a drunk. The first two are bad enough, but going around calling a private person a drunk when that person doesn't even drink (i.e. without an entire episode of drinking and foot linking and hangovers to back it up as fair discussion) is pretty much an open and shut libel lawsuit, bam, wham, thank you ma'am.
I'm tempted to file such a lawsuit for a few thousand dollars to teach her a lesson and donate to Minor Consideration when I win (not if), it would take me just a few hours of my time to draft the paperwork up and file down at civil court, but filing lawsuits against batshit crazies tends to just egg them on. Also, I doubt she has the capacity to even pay such a suit so why bother. I envision someone in a crazy hospital somewhere allowed to have a laptop.
All that said, this is not a blog just to talk about other blogs or bloggers as hers is, so kindly let's move on to better things....I haven't visited there in ages, but if she is still attacking me on Sept 11....really? Unbelievable, on a day like today. Can't she pack up shop with the lies for just ONE DAY?
I also have to say I really don't get a blog that just talks about another blog, often called a "flog." I don't spend my time doing entire posts making up lies about someone as batshit crazy as her. If someone wants to support Kate, they're free to go start their blog and do their thing, why should we care. We're always going to discuss our disagreements and sometimes outrage over people who support Kate, that's fair game, but I feel so strongly that there is no reason, NONE to harass these people doing it and make it personal, be it by making a blog post about them, posting to twitter, calling employers, or anything like it. That's one reason I sort of don't really mind BabyMama, I never remembers her blog spending that much time attacking this one.....I think once in a blue moon she said something, but 99% of the time they keep to themselves and discuss zucchini recipes, fair enough.
I don't know if I agree that TLC was good to her but frankly they were better to her than most networks. Most networks when faced with a trouble maker like Jon would say forget it we're out. TLC stuck with her to fight him and gave her an entire legal team plus legal eagles to STOP PA legislation (what the f-ity f!), and this send-off she is getting from TLC is WAY more than many stars have gotten. She's getting a finale to air everything she ever wanted to say. They could have just as easily said okay we're done now and just aired whatever footage they have left, no questions asked. Better networks do that all the time, cut the cord here's the door see ya wouldn't wanna be ya.
She is getting an official sendoff and should be grateful.
Oh one of the reasons I will still keep this blog around is because I am virtually certain Kate's going to try to sue TLC for something at some point. I give her four months before the paperwork is filed. It's coming. If she doesn't, I promise to eat a jar of fluffernutter.
SHE was mad at TLC even before the meeting. There was no logic to her trading in the LC, that TLC gave HER. Size was not the issue. There is barely a difference. It prob did piss TLC off. You know, the saying "don't look a gift horse in the mouth?"
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
TLC couldn't care less whether Kate keeps a car or doesn't, but consider this - if the LC was a "gift" from TLC, it may very well have been a LEASE for a certain period of time.
Kate may have been angry because the lease was up, and TLC wasn't willing either to extend the lease, or give her another car.
When she said she "traded in" (not sure what her exact words were) the LC, she may have meant "turned in" - because she HAD to, since the lease had ended.
The Audi may have been her own personal consolation prize after TLC treated her -in her mind - so badly. The Sequoia was just what she was supposed to have anyway so that she could avoid the vehicle that allowed her to carry her whole family.
I doubt very much that TLC "gave" her the LC. Usually, companies will lease a car they provide to a contractee, not actually purchase it.
I don't know if I agree that TLC was good to her but frankly they were better to her than most networks. Most networks when faced with a trouble maker like Jon would say forget it we're out. TLC stuck with her to fix ------------
No way would TLC have left then, the money was rolling in. Ratings were at their highest, tabloid covers every week. That divorce was like xmas for TLC.
It would make more sense that they would have canceled JK8 earlier and never even considered K8 if Jon and Kate had been able to keep up the happy marriage facade.
Can you give a hint as to where it is posted? Would like to see what she posted. Why would anyone put themselves out there like this, liability wise, for KG?
Tamara, I bet they would have kissed Kate goodbye when Jon was causing problems if they thought the PR would be too bad. You can bet they sat down in a room and weighed all their options. They probably said well, fighting a father who just wants his children off TV might make us look bad (and it DID, to many, though not all), is this really going to be worth the loss of good will and possibly viewers on the chance we'll make millions more?
They took a chance on Kate knowing the PR might be bad. TLC DID take a chance on Kate by backing her through this suit, and it probably did pay off for them in the long run so they made the right call, but it was still a call they had to make and the easier way out many networks would have taken would be to fold.
That said TLC was a smaller network and probably more willing to gamble on this suit working out because they might never get a chance like this again. A bigger network like say ABC could cut ties and not care.
Grammy Of Nine, YES!!! I have always thought that Kate was crazy jealous of Beth and wanted the lifestyle that Beth has. She may think she has it, but really...what she has is pretty pathetic compared to what Beth has. Beth's house is just gorgeous, and the view from the pool area is brathtaking. You can see it in the first 4th of July episode. Be prepared to swoon! Kate's house is nothing compared to Beth's. Of course, Beth had the little two-seater sports car...was it a Porsche? I thought it was a BMW Z3 Roadster, but maybe I'm wrong. The Audi is nowhere near as nice. I think those things look like Volkswagens (my youngest once said the little Audi looks like a turtle...he was right!). Really, Kate is trying to acquire Beth's lifestyle, but she lacks the taste to pull it off. I cringe when I see the interior of her house. Please, Kate, hire a decorator! It looks like you furnished it at Big Lots! Now, to be perfectly fair, I will admit that I envy Beth her Aga cooker. I want one! But I am not willing to sell my children's privacy to get one. Sigh...don't we all wish we could be Beth for a day. She is a lady with taste and refinement. Kate will never measure up to her.
@totally disgusted The mere fact that Kate invoked the memory of 9-11 and the victims in a public tweet in such a way that does nothing but draw attention to herself is totally disgusting.
I've remained off twitter all day so as not to draw Kate's attention to any attention she thrives on. After tomorrow, her show is gone and the after shocks from the demise of her show will go on for possibly a week or two. From there she's part of the dust heap of dozens of reality stars who have come and gone and most of us don't even remember most of their names.
She'll do the Wendy Williams show tomorrow, still trying to remain relevant and then the twitter party tomorrow night with a few very diehard fans. The backlash tomorrow night by her followers will be exponentially worse than it has been these past two weeks.
If Kate was ever sincere about anything which she's never been, her sincerity would have spoken volumes and quite loudly by not tweeting her concerns for the 9-11 victims in the morning and then tweeting her upcoming episode on Wendy Williams in the evening.
Can you give a hint as to where it is posted? Would like to see what she posted. Why would anyone put themselves out there like this, liability wise, for KG?

emschick1128 posted upthread where it can be found. The blog, in my opinion, isn't deserving of anyone's attention. Time to move on.
Admin, that is serious stuff she is saying. Please tell me how you deal with the lies and bashing? I too, am bashed on certain message boards by the competition with my side job, and it is ruining me, and devastates me. I could understand if any of it was true, but knowing it is not gets to me so bad. You are an attorney, which most of us can't afford, but you have the means to at least send her a C&D, but you take the high road. Why? How do you stand it? Teach me how you deal with it and go on..
I don't like that anyone wants to turn to political talk. By bashing Bush you bashed some of us on this blog. I could say some really nasty things about Obama, but why? It's really the same thing as all of us on different blogs having different opinions about Kate. Bush was no saint, but he was not the Satan a lot of people believe he was. I'm sure Obama has some good things about him. I personally think he's a good speaker.
Layla said... Okay, this is funny....my son came home from work at Costco today...no copies of People sold yesterday, but ONE woman came in and bought 6 copies, and was blabbing about how it was the least she could do to show support for Kate, and how all the "friends of Kate" turn every TV in their house to her show on Mondays to help her ratings... And the thing about turning every TV in the house to her show--would that even work? Do they count the number of televisions when calculating ratings, or just count one per household? Strangest thing I have EVER heard! ------------------------------- The only entity being helped by that obsessive behavior is the Electric company. Honestly, the number of people who fail to understand how television ratings are calculated is absolutely staggering! Unless a household is a Nielsen household, what people watch on televsion has absolutely no bearing on ratings. Period! (If you are a Nielsen household, you know it, there is no question. No, there is no magical device in all television sets that transmits data to tell people what you are watching. If there was, it would be a gross violation of your privacy!)
It's always bothered me when I hear people say things like, "Well I'm not going to watch such-and-such because I don't want them to get the ratings." It's a nice sentiment, but doesn't matter one bit.
Anonymous, the key is to do actually what Kate "claims" she does, never look at it!
After I realized what that blog was doing, I never looked at that blog, ever. I actually don't even like that people tell me about it here. Although well meaning, it prevents me from completely ignoring it.
A lot of celebs say the same thing as Kate, they simply don't look at anything negative or it will eat and eat at you.
Also, I take a page from Jon, too. All that matters is what I know and my family and friends know--that I'm not any of what they say. Hard to live by, but I try.
Just checked the schedule for the "Today" show tomorrow and find that Kate will be among some "heavy hitters." (No less than the likes of Barack Obama, Dr. Phil, Nate Berkus and Martha Stewart). Could she possibly grift a new job? Maybe she will bring her "bills" and cry a river for them?
Anonymous, Thanks for clearing that up--I had never given any thought to how the ratings were calculated. The situation says a lot about Kate's followers. They think she NEEDS them to help her. Come on, folks, this is a woman who wouldn't cross the street to help anyone else--unless they were waving cash or gift cards in the air. By the way...who the heck is Wendy Williams? Have never even heard of her. So mush for Kate's "media blitz". I am disappointed about the Today Show, though. My son has appeared on that show. I wish they had higher journalistic standards and would filter out the morons like her.
I think TLC made the educated guess that women and the press would take Kate's side because the mother/woman's side is nearly always the most popular or sympathized. Just look at family courts, though I know I'm preaching to the choir there with you Admin :)
I am still kind of amazed that there are people whom post and read sites like this one whom don't know Gosselin "history". It shows how insanely popular the show got that one season.
Well, Kate is sitting among the celebrities, isn't she? Let's see.......President Obama can help her make a Federal case out of her firing, Dr. Phil can help her find a new "brand", Nate can come give her a free house makeover, and Martha can become her new free chef and gardener.
When you sit with people in high places, make sure they know how to help you. That's my motto, anyway.
Well she is one blessed lady to be sitting there with the President of The United States. Plus, all of the other famous stars. I would not have any problem with this if I believed at all that she earned it, or furthermore, truly deserved it. I sometimes question how she gets what she does when he doesn't seem to practice any of the basics in life, like giving back, being humble, being honest, working hard, ect. It is just given to her. No college degree, no acting lessons, no talents, no speciality training, but she is invited to be on with the President? Yea ok...whatever. It's never going to end, and she will continue to make a mockery of it all.
Fido, motto? Motto! What's a motto with you? Some reason that comes to mind... A disney song? Kate would be right at home with "Dr" Phil. I think I saw somewhere he will have the first sitdown with the Anthony's.
How does Kate and/or her 'religion' feel about being gay? Would she 'banish' any of her kids that are?
*********************************
Kate can't even deal with the fact that one of her kids is so "imperfect" as to need glasses. I'd say her tolerance level for any seeming "deviation" -- based on her religion or just her sheer stupidity -- is pretty low.
Always Grifting... said... Just checked the schedule for the "Today" show tomorrow and find that Kate will be among some "heavy hitters."

She may be among some heavy hitters tomorrow, but I don't see her getting a lot of face time with any of them. It's not a situation like the View where she was guest-hosting when Dr. Phil made an appearance and pretty much ignored her:) Security will be tight because of President Obama's presence and I doubt he even knows who she is and access to him will be restricted. In fact, because of the security I see a scenario where everyone is kept in their dressing rooms until time for their segments, etc. I also don't see Martha or Dr. Phil going out of their way to even acknowledge her. Don't know the other guy.
Oh, BTW Katie Irene--the J&K+8 show was on for 4 years? and K+8 lasted for 2 'seasons'--the proof is in the reruns and DVD's. Stupid lying cow.
Is Billy Bush one of the "Texas" Bushes? I didn't know that but either way, he's still a tool.
Mocking a man for living a simple life is disgusting. Than again, (if he's a Bush Bush), Barbara Bush said the people in the Katrina stadiums were actually better off than before .... little bit out of reality, those Bushes.
ok, thanks Susantoyota for explaining. I thought she got to sit with all of them back stage. They all have real professional & star quality credentials to be where they are, and she has no business there at all?
Does she get paid for this interview? And why does she get to go on the show, if she is not promoting anything or selling anything, and she doesn't make anything, and basically has nothing to offer? They really let her come on the show to beg for a job?
I am really trying to understand how she is still receiving VIP treatment even after TLC pink slipped her.
President Obama will be in the green room with members of the Secret Service waiting for his appearance on the Today show. Dr. Phil, Martha Stewart and Nate Berkus will be waiting in another room. Kart and her top advisor/road manager, ex-boobyguard, Steve will be rehearsing her farewell, pity me speech in a broom closet.
Url said...Steve will be rehearsing her farewell, pity me speech in a broom closet. ************ lmao @ that! Maybe purseboy will pickup some tips about being a real bodyguard too, instead of a wannabee.
There's no doubt in my mind now that those two degenerates are boinking! A penny to a pound of sh*t we'll be hearing weddings plans in the not too distant future.
Wouldn't it be great if Admin receives an email from Gina like she did Ashley?!
OK, will the Tweeties be more impressed that Kate is breathing the same air as the President of the USA, or that the President of the USA is breathing the same air as Kate?
SHE was mad at TLC even before the meeting. There was no logic to her trading in the LC, that TLC gave HER. Size was not the issue. There is barely a difference. It prob did piss TLC off. You know, the saying "don't look a gift horse in the mouth?"
Just clarifying that this comment above is not mine nor do I agree with the opinion. I'm not sure why Anonymous directed it at me as I never made a comment about Kate being mad at TLC.
think like an angry grifter, I agree with your post about the Landcruiser and TLC. Although Kate tweeted that she "traded" it in, it's possible that she was lying about it. Some people thought she was doing the right thing downsizing to a used car, but now we recently discovered she ended up with two vehicles.
Layla, Beth is certainly a woman of grace and refinement. Kate could take several lessons from her book including the fact that a few years ago Beth and her husband, hit by the economic downturn like many of us (or at least that is my understanding), downsized their lifestyle. They sold their home, bought a smaller more affordable one for $225,000 +/- that they restored and lo and behold seem to be doing fine.
Today is September 12, 2011 and the last show of Kate +8 and all should end. Jon is just as bad as his ex wife. He is no "real father"...he is what we call in Children's Court "a visiting father" who relinquished all responsibility of his children to his wife and TLC for $$$$ to get out of his contract and ALLOW Kate and TLC to raise those kids, on TV.
Both Kate and Jon are responsible for the future of the fragile 8 lives they BOTH Brought into this world.
For Jon, overweight again (hey, beer puts on weight) and sitting there calling the 'ketttle black" is stupid. He has walked away from responsibility.
So, as Jon says his kids are happy to see him every OTHER weekend and sleep in sleeping bags in his apt and they LOVE IT?? Please remember that kids will do anything, especially when very young to see their father or mother.
Let's just check back when the 6 are about 15 and they don't have time for Dad and the twins are not in Jon's life at all.
Jon as well as Kate screwed up these kids. So if everything is down hill from here on out because neither Jon nor Kate can "keep those kids in private school as well as staying in a very big home with lots of private land to protect them from the public" well, what a shock to the systems of these kids.
The best thing Kate can do is get her relatives back in the lives of her children so that there is a Buffer in their fragile lives.
8 very confused, fragile, scared children is what Kate & Jon now have to deal with. All they know is filming, travel, camera crews....not relatives.
Get off the sofa Jon and get your self into court and NOW get custody EVERY WEEKEND and get yourself in shape to help your children.
As for Steve, well, they could all get honest, is Steve the lover? Be real, no one is stupid, especially not Kate's brother and his wife. Lots of people know exactly what Kate is all about.
I do not care if the Audi car is used. You put your life on Reality TV, you Grift for free stuff, then you owe the public explanations. You do not use the public. You have no control over us kate, only over your kids. Amen.........go to work, stay out of the public and Jon? You two stop the public jabbing
When I heard Kate's remark about "mediocre," right away I thought about the lyrics in "Homeward Bound," (mediocrity) and what may become of her life when all of those people she has alienated finally desert her:
"Tonight I'll sing my songs again, I'll play the game and pretend. But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me."
382 sediments (sic) from readers:
«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 382 of 382 Newer› Newest»@maggie Her car is a hatchback and NOT a convertible. The only convertible you can get in the TT is a soft top. There is no retractable hard top in her model.
Well most people would be embarrassed to blab so much about their finances too. Other celebs don't usually discuss money, it's TACKY.
Not to mention, most people would be mortified to be caught in a convertible when they just told everyone how dire everything is.
But this is Kate, she doesn't seem to react as normal people do to anything. She doesn't even seem to get why hopping into a convertible right now is a problem for folks.

Well, as we say here on the East Coast, Kate is a stunned arse.
Teresa said...
She's crying and wailing on the last interview that she couldn't make Jon stay with her. Last kick at the can l suppose. I guess she forgot SHE filed for divorce and made Jon sleep in the apartment over the garage. I guess SHE forgot she gave Jon an allowance. Boo Hoo bitch! You ran off anybody and everybody that cared for you and the kids. Day late and a dollar short Khate. You had no pity for the kids when they were tired and needed you to cuddle them. None shown to you now.
************************************************
Now she shows remorse? Boo hoo bitch, is right! Who in their right mind could willingly stay with Kate?
That woman is an insufferable emotional black hole.
In the Jon & Kate years, he always had a defeated, beaten down look on his face.
The only remorse Kate has is that she lost control over Jon. And I say, thank God Jon got out in good time.
She's just not worth the pain and aggrevation.
AuntieAnn said... I agree. Although I'm sure Kate will find a way to make remembering that tragic day all about herself anyway. Narcissist that she is and all.
*************
I can see it now. "I um remember where me me me was that day and I I I might have been told about all the people that um died and our brave Mr. Rescue Mans. Me me me is very sad that we used to um commemoryied that day but comma sadly comma me me me is all um alone now and I I I cant do it allish you know."
But comma sadly comma, or sadly comma no comma, are her favorite twitdom expressions now.
Since Kate doesn't watch the news or pick up a newspaper (unless on vacation), we might do better to ask her where she was on Sept 12 or 13th when she finally heard about it.
@friend in Pennsylvania I hear you and although the manufacturer recommends premium gas, it's gas none the less so when the price goes over 4 dollars per gallon, regular looks pretty damned good. On a newer model, most people don't have to worry about the maintenance costs however if you plan to keep it as I did with a previous model A8 it does add up.
I like the Audi and am on my second one and stick by the manufacturer recommendations. Biggest maintenance issue with the Audi's are the timing belts, wheel bearings and the turbo if the car is equipped with one. The other problem with these cars is the dashboard LCD screen that gives you warning signs and maintenance reminders. An Audi is nothing more than a glorified VW for twice the price.
I stick with the premium fuel, synthetic oil, regular maintenance and hope for the best. Would I do it again? probably not but then again, I'm not a father of 8 kids and my car is a 5 passenger. Would I recommend this car to someone else, maybe. It's a totally balanced vehicle that handles well, looks good and is better engineered than any American car I have ever owned.
If Kate wants one she should have one. I just think that the timing was wrong and the image it projects doesn't coincide with the "Brand" she's been trying to sell all these years. She's put herself out there as "America's Mom". The last thing most MOMS drive are Audi TT's.
I hope she enjoys it.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
There is a lot more wrong here than the "timing". Kate didn't buy that car -- her children did. The only effort she put into acquiring it involved lying and pimping.
I couldn't disagree more that if Kate wants one she should have one.
No, Kate needs to fund her children's college accounts fully. Kate needs to set up a trust to make sure they have money beyond that as well for six years of work. Kate also needs to enroll the kids in gymnastics and sports and summer camp and everything else well-rounded kids do. These are all things she has at one point claimed she hasn't done yet.
Then and only then might she consider taking a little bit of her Dancing With the Stars money and buying herself a toy.
Okay, this is funny....my son came home from work at Costco today...no copies of People sold yesterday, but ONE woman came in and bought 6 copies, and was blabbing about how it was the least she could do to show support for Kate, and how all the "friends of Kate" turn every TV in their house to her show on Mondays to help her ratings. Oh, Lord...like my 19-year-old son wants to hear a load of crap about Kate. I don't get it...why do these people feel the need to "help" her? Can't she make it on her own if she is such a big star to them? And the thing about turning every TV in the house to her show--would that even work? Do they count the number of televisions when calculating ratings, or just count one per household? Strangest thing I have EVER heard!
@at base by a mile Respect your correct. Won't argue with you on your points. I'm as adamant about my previous posts as you are tonight. The car, the perks the personal trips and all that she's done over these years are truly maddening. It's Kate. It's what she does with total impunity.
I posed a question last night to her twitter fans as to who buys 2 vehicles in one fell swoop on the same day and the only response was from Iwana. Come to find out he bought 2 vehicles on the same day back in the 1990's and they were used.
No one goes out and buys 2 cars on the same day for family use and personal use. Evidently at the time, Kate thought the money was going to continue to flow and she said "WTF". Her problem now, not ours. Not a rational decision that most normal people would make but she made the decision for whatever reason.
The pathetic picture is that Kate's now been photgraphed in that ridiculous 2 seater three times in the past two days. She looks like a fool. We all agree that the kids worked to pay for that car and she looks even more ridiculous driving it. As I said, if Kate wants it, she should get it. You and I both agree it was stupid. Let her hang herself. I'd love to have a BMW 750LI. If I could afford it, earned it, can meet my other obligations, I'd probably do it. I can't. Kate makes so much more than I do and most of us do on the contract she has with TLC. She sees it as being her money. We don't. I hope she enjoys the thrill of the car and we all know who paid for it but nothing we can do or say that will change it.
It seems obvious maybe Kate has a different view of what "tacky" is? Clearly.
What's tacky is the purchase. What's tacky is her behavior. What's tacky is her, "I don't feel dressed without wearing heels."
I'm confused. At one point Kate said the kids had full college funds I think, and later you hear that the kids don't have full college funds. Well...which one is it? You can't have it both ways Kate. But maybe in the world of Kate Gosselin, whatever she says that particular days must suit her fancy.
What's is she going to wear when she can't afford her expensive high heels anymore? I mean I own a few pair but I'll be damn if they are all that comfortable to wear all the time! She's nuts!
Kate's Kart: Great poem!
Something's really been bothering me about the twins. I know a lot of people were saying that Jamie and Ashley shouldn't have been talking about Kate in front of them, and maybe that's true, but think about when Mady and Cara got sent back to the RV before they went to that "waste of space", the Grand Canyon. They were both pretty hysterical.. I suspect that happens a lot, and when they went into that RV with Ashley, I'm sure it didn't just turn into sunshine and rainbows immediately, although Ashley does seem like a ray of sunshine to me... I bet those girls confide in Ashley a lot when subjected to their mom's tirades. Cara didn't seem in the least upset by them talking, either, so I'm not sure their behavior was too outrageous.
I know I'll never be famous in this world, and I truly have absolutely no desire to be, but I do want to be important to my children. I want them to respect and take what they learned from me and think it's important enough to pass on to their children. I've already experienced a lot of appreciation of how I raised them now that some are all the way grown.
It just makes me feel so sad for the Gosselin children that their mom has literally become a national joke. Children are awfully perceptive, and I know they realize in their own way that they have been sold out by their own mom. It's just pitiful. They won't even have to read blog archives or tabloids when they're older. They already know. I don't think I've ever witnessed a more selfish mom.
When Kate was first canceled she was frantic with worry. She renewed her nursing license, she worried about how she was going to make it. I think she was scared. But then she calmed down dramatically, and tweeted that she planned to stay on television as long as she could. I thought she had signed a new show of some sort. I couldn’t believe anyone would be foolish enough to sign her but she certainly seemed not fearful all of a sudden. Then it occurred to me that she probably came in for a pretty sweet severance package. It could have run to the seven figures. Even mid seven figures would not be out of the realm of possibility. So I think she is calmer only because she has breathing room now. I don't think she has anything lined up. (Really, is any producer THAT stupid?)
Only my thoughts.
RE: BigFanofK8G
Did this fan always put the G on the end? I don't remember it well, but I thought it didn't have the G originally.
Kind of like "Kateplusmy8" as opposed to
"Hateplusmy8". One letter difference, but 2
entirely different people.

Yep, it's possible TLC bought out her contract.
If so, she's free as a bird to peck Vanna White right off the stage, or hit Broadway in the
revival of "Taming of the Shrew".
Is anyone interested in making a contribution to buy Kate a vanity car plate? Honk4Dollars!
Administrator said...Not to mention, most people would be mortified to be caught in a [sports car] when they just told everyone how dire everything is.
A sports car, regardless if it's a convertible or not, is not a practical purchase after admitting her kids are worried whether they'll continue to live in the same house or go to the same school. Even if she bought it six months ago. If she's telling People magazine that she has money saved that will last "for a little while", then the sports car is one of the first purchases that needs to go back.
What is Kate's definition for "a little while"? Some American families have unemployed parents for over a year, if not two, so it would be wise for her to cut back now and save every cent she has while she can. That's why I can't cut her some slack, knowing that their current lifestyle is financially draining them. If she's so adamant about staying in McMansion and keeping the kids in private school, then she needs to stop with her extraneous purchases like said sports car. If she splurged for this, who knows what else she has splurged on as well.
Her frustrations with those pap photos is that she got caught with her hand in the cookie jar, making her look bad right after that People article was released. Kate's looking for public sympathy & freebies and those pics don't help...at all.
Lake Up North, Kate mentioned to People that the kids have college funds established but nothing was mentioned if they were fully funded.
So the Audi isn't a convertible? Why go on about a sports car convertible yet not get one? Hmmm...part of me wonders if the dealer duped her into getting this car. Maybe it's a lemon they wanted to get off their hands, so she got a good deal on it. It wouldn't surprise me if she just believes what the dealer says and doesn't do any homework on used cars.
@lake up north Everything you say is dead on. Tacky is as tacky does. I've been way too vocal about Kate and how she exploits her kids for way too many years. I've hung on to the "tacky" and have have made way too many snide and snarky comments as to her behavior. My intention wasn't to destroy Kate. My mindset was the hurt and harm she was doing to her kids.
I didn't want to witness that and say nothing, sit back and encourage it. I'm just one voice in a big world that matters to no one other than my kids, my siblings and my S/O.
At times I took my animus to degrees that many thought were "out there" "innappropriate" and "offbase". Was I wrong? NO. I was totally against the use of these kids to further a parent who is living off the backs of innocent kids. Was I right? NO. I didn't witness or live the experience of the family going through this travesty.
Would I do it again? YES! Absolutely. I hated the fact that 8 kids were being used to further the goals and aspirations of a totally out of touch mother who sought fame and fortune on the notoriety of being the breeder of 6 tups and a set of twins.
What have I learned from this? I've learned that no matter what I say or share, there is always opposing opinions and nothing I have shared or posted over these past years has changed Kate or the kids situation. I'm better off, reading the thoughts from all of those I've met over these years who felt the same as I. I'm baffled by the responses by fans who didn't agree with my stance.
What is more telling is that I'm in awe at the media that has for years givin Kate a pass and never asked the cold hard questions. After Monday , my personal goal, to get the kids off TV will be settled. I didn't accomplish that goal on my own. It took blogs like this, tweets, and blogs all over the net to voice our disgust at this travesty.
Finally the show comes to an end. As much as I felt like a voice for the kids, I too, now feel sorry for Kate. Really do. I see a broken woman without friends, family and a support network to pull her back into reality. At one point I saw in Kate a kind and sweet person when she surprised Jon with his trip to Florida, years ago. She came off as a good person and fun. Despite the years of her Diva personality that she's taken to the max, I still see some good in her that may surface when she gets her priorities in place.
I hope she does. None of us are perfect and given a TV camera crew and a chance to make money, we'd either opt for one or the other. Unfortunately for Kate, she got both opportunities at the same time, a mother from Central PA who would have never been known to the world had she not had a litter.
Wish her well after Monday and hope and pray the kids come through this with little scars, big smiles, huge dreams and a way to filter the years of being in a fish bowl and can filter the comments as they get older.
Did this fan always put the G on the end? I don't remember it well, but I thought it didn't have the G originally.
=====================
Originally, it was BigFanOfKateG, NOT BigFanOfK8. Check BigFanOfKateG twitter page. She has not tweeted since 9/6. This is the original BigFan, the lonely one without friends who was eating garlic and wearing Spandex.
http://twitter.com/#!/@BigFanofKateG
However, BigFanOfK8 is NOT a Kate fan (tweets are not complimentary), but the avatar and bio is the same as the original BigFanOfKateG.
So, either the original BigFan did an about-face on her allegiance and changed her name to BigFanOfK8, or BigFanOfK8 has hijacked the original Big Fan's account.
http://twitter.com/#!/BigFanOfK8
I don't know much about Twitter, so I'm not too sure what happened here, but personally, I don't think it's the same person. The first one was very childish and naive; this one is bold and brash.
Someone upthread pointed out about BIGFAN has not been sounding or typing the same. NOTE:This is not the same account! The "original" username was "BigFanofKateG" and has not tweeted since Spet 6th. She actually deleted her account that day after Kate blocked her. Then she re-opened her account a few days later but has not tweeted from it. The account that is showing up in Kates comments on Twitter is username "BigFanOfK8", with same picture. The typing style, punctuation, etc is not the same as the original user. It's most likely one of the vile tweeters that copied her picture and opened a spoof account. Kate blocked the new account, but it took her quite awhile before she blocked. So reading these tweets from the new BigFan is most likely that you're reading a tweet from one of the regulars in disguise.
You must remember that Kate will never allow anyone, not anyone, to tell her what she can or can't do or what would be the right thing to do in a particular situation. Anyone who has tried has been banished to the nether regions never to be recognized again. She is so arrogant, high strung, bitchy, cruel, stupid, and there has never in the history of the world been more controlling than her. She looks so foolish tooling around in her sports car and crying poor at the same time -- but by golly she doesn't back down to anyone or anything.
"After Monday , my personal goal, to get the kids off TV will be settled. I didn't accomplish that goal on my own. It took blogs like this, tweets, and blogs all over the net to voice our disgust at this travesty."

But why the constant pounding (Twitter) on those who did not agree with your opinion? Is it necessary in one's "goal" to get her off television to relentlessly berate them, making snide remarks and snotty comments to those who simply pop on there to say that they are fans?
This is what I don't understand.
Her time line on this car is a bit confusing because she says she bought it in April, but she keeps saying 6 months ago. In my reality, 6 months ago was actually March.
However, going with the April statement because I think she's stupid and just doesn't realize that April was only 5 months ago (I also think saying 6 months sounds better to her and she figures people won't bother doing the math), I did a little sleuthing..yeah I'm bored.
Twitter only keeps your last 3200 tweets and since she twats like a manic chipmunk on crack, there was no way I could look at her actual feed that far back, I had to do a lot of googling and searching this blog to find the info I did find.
She said when the car story broke:
Re car:rem the 1st X I tweeted 'going out w the girls'?I bought car that day-in April!
It's used&I traded my black suv 4 2used vehicles-
So using that as a guide I went back to April and began searching. I couldn't find that exact tweet, but the "girls night out" type tweets were all around the beginning of April.
The one where "the girls" decided that it was time for her to ask Iwanna for his picture was on April 9. So it was some where around that time..a few days prior probably.
The infamous gymnastics are too expensive tweet was on April 20.
I'm not sure how she thinks the timing of these pictures makes her look bad. The fact that she has done this AT ALL makes her look bad.
By her own admission, no matter how you cut it, within days of purchasing this car, she said that she couldn't afford gymnastics for the kids.
I wish there was a way to get this kind of information to people in the media that would actually REPORT it and stop letting her cry poor.
Most importantly, I wish that someone (authorities) would step in and stop her from committing fraud because her followers are too stupid to be saved from themselves.
I guess there is something to be said for letting them dig their own graves, but honestly when the media lets her cry poor it gives validity to her claims people who do not have good critical thinking skills need to be saved from that kind of thing, IMO.
What ever is going to happen with Kate's $40.00
bronzer and other froufrou cosmetics? I'm pretty
sure Ted Gibson/Jason Hueman are going to be
nothing but memories.
What will the updated Kate Gosselin be? Only
the rag magazines will know.
It's most likely one of the vile tweeters that copied her picture and opened a spoof account.
+++++++++++++++++
So the real (original) Big Fan doesn't know this is going on? If this happens, can't the original owner of the account file a report to have Twitter delete the spoof account?
Sorry - I'm really not "up" on the workings of Twitter.
This car has me riled up.
If this car isn't a big deal, why has she been hiding it?
We know about the POOL and the LEATHER SOFA and she talked about trading in the Land Cruiser for the Sequoia because she mentioned that it was bigger and someone here said it was like 2 inches bigger or something.
So why didn't she mention at the time what a GREAT deal she got for the LC that she got not 1 but 2 cars for it?
She knew how it would look then that's why. She must have been just holding her breath for this story to finally break, knowing the shit storm that was going to rain down on her.
She opens her yap about every. little. thing. so why not this? Maybe this is when TLC threw up their hands and said we are done trying to cover for you, you narcissistic waste of skin.
Administrator said... Since Kate doesn't watch the news or pick up a newspaper (unless on vacation), we might do better to ask her where she was on Sept 12 or 13th when she finally heard about it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We could always ask her "Top Advisor"
Expense was only one reason she gave about the gymnastics. The other reason had to do with
space. I didn't quite understand what that meant, but assumed it meant the class could not accommodate all of the kids. And you know she's not going to make more than one trip a week for extracurricular activities for her kids. That would suck the life out of her oh-so-important
Me Time driving her new Audi out on the open road.
HA! Maybe she was trying to tell us then that
all the kids wouldn't fit into her car! And we didn't get it! The joke's on us, huh?

^^^^^^^^^^^^
Did Kate also say that space was an issue at Hershey Park? LOL! I seem to remember that the reason was because of the expense, but it was figured out that if they used coupons and did the sunset plan, eleven of them could have gone for under $250.00. Less than the cost of one pair of her shoes.
Kelly said - Negative tweets and "POUNDING" was simply a way to inquire as to what they found so "Awesome"
-------------
There are other ways that don't involve bullying, and it IS bullying, regardless of how tweeters there try to justify it. Bullying, plain and simple. These are tweeters who did absolutely nothing to deserve that kind of treatment, especially after a non-fan recognized that his berating another tweeter was wrong, apologized for it on twitter and on this blog, but went back to bashing in no time at all.
Kelly said, We agree to disagree

I don't know for sure the answer on this with reporting a false account? I do recall when EmeraldCity was spoofed by EmeraldShity, her and HGray tweeted they were reporting it and the next day "shity" was no longer a user. Whether they scared the spoofer off of twitter or if their reporting worked, I don't know? That's all I have seen in regards to spoofs getting banned.

*****************************
Kate says 6 months most likely to glorify the length of time and to her, April, May, June, July, August, and September...that's SIX...count 'em six months, even though it's been 5 months almost to the date. Honestly, that's how Kates count-speakish thingy sorta works!
The "remember the girls night out" was the night the girls said it was time for Iwanna to show his picture. Yes, that's what I see too. Then Kate and Iwanna disappeared into the night in probably an all night drunken direct message festival. Iwanna was tweeting the other night when the car issue came up on Twitter and mentioned something about that "maybe" Kate bought the car back in the spring when she got word that the show would have 2 seasons this year? Kate broke the silence just minutes after Iwanna tweeted and confirmed that she bought the car and it was back in April. It was almost like Kate was lurking and saw Iwannas tweet and panicked and then broke the silence? Was she fearing he would spill the beans? Or were her and Iwanna chatting together and he said he would make a lead-in tweet so she could tell all before it got out of control? I'm wondering if Iwanna knows more than he leads on? Something has been strange between those two all summer and why he is still there almost every day when Kates other "love interests" all last about a week then disappear?
This upcoming week will be interesting to see how many people like Ashley or Jon will come forward and let it all out. I hope it starts Monday in her "media tour" and the sugar coated questions turn to sand.
So, Kate twitted teasers about convertibles and it became fact that she already had one...
Kate twitts teasers about wanting an older man with salt and peppered colored hair...hmmm... maybe its fact that she already has one... Steve!
I don't get her obsession with the number of followers.....Actually I guess I do.
Can't she go watch a 9/11 documentary or something tonight?
Bullying is being passive???? That makes a heck of a lot of sense. Not!
Just a reminder, bullies aren't welcome here.
oops... just got to the 2nd page of comments, and saw that someone said the car wasn't a convertible, just a sports car.. I didn't look at the pics, just found all the comments leading me to believe that she was putting out teasers about Steve...lol..my bad..
I agree with Kelly. I may not like some of the things he says on twitter, but I believe his tweets have done more overall than any of the comments on this blog have ever done. The recaps are hilariously entertaining, but the ensuing comments are just rehashing. The same things gets said over and over for hundreds and hundreds of posts. I think direct contact with Kate and the fans gets under her skin far more than the blogs do, because instead of hundreds of posts that all say the same thing on various separate sites, they have short tweets right on their twitter.
A leopard can't change his spots.
@Anonymous whoever you are. I believe you just have to speak your mind no matter who you offend. You stand for something or you don't. I'm not here to make friends or enemies. I'm here to make a point. Take it or leave it.
When someone shows up and smells like shit, you tell them "you smell like shit" You don't tell them you smell "different". Call it like it is, take the hits but know you spoke your mind. Perhaps the next time, they will show up smelling much better.
Kelly - I'm not sure what you thought I was saying, but I completely agree with telling it like it is. There have been some things you've said on twitter that I think were "off topic", but I have no problem with what you say to Kate. And as far as her fans, I think they're fair game because they're putting themselves out there.
My main point was that while this blog is a nice community of people, many of whom have become friends, I don't think it has accomplished anything other than giving people a place to talk about a common interest and laugh at the recaps.

Exactly. Bullying is cruel - I don't care FOR WHAT PURPOSE it is being used. It's hurtful. If that's the only means of making a point, then the tweeter who bullies is a very poor communicator and needs to sit down and think about how HE/SHE would like to be the one who is bullied - you know, the "do onto others" rule.
"ONE woman came in and bought 6 copies, and was blabbing about how it was the least she could do to show support for Kate"
It would be funny if it was one of her overzealous fans on the Internet like Baby Mama.
I couldn't find the twitter response, but Kate has been asked where she was on 9/11. I don't remember the exact details, but she said the twins were babies, and they rushed home. Maybe the Pennsylvania tragedy made her more aware.
@notanonymous I have been crude, rude and absolutely out of line at times on twitter. Won't apologize for it. It is what it is. I've also pissed off plenty of people on this blog as well as a few others, ADmin included.
I'm passionate about my feelings about children and animals and have incorporated my not so P.C. comments on both twitter and this and many blogs. I won't apologize about my comments on any of the blogs or twitter. I say it from the heart. What I will apologize for is taking such a hard stance and making the ADMIN on this blog part of my argument.
I was wrong with that stance and totally out of line. What I won't apologize for is my passion for taking a position against exploitation. After Tuesday, none of us have to worry about it, hopefully. Agreed, some of my posts on twitter were out of line but I apologize to no one and stand by each and every one of them.
Glad you voiced your thoughts and they are totally considered.

I've got a news flash for all the sheeple who are thinking of spending their hard-earned money to buy this week's People magazine in order to support Katie Irene. She doesn't care how well the current issue of People Magazine sells because she's already been PAID for the PHOTOS on the cover and in the article. Now if the sheeple would convert the purchase price of however many issues they planned to buy into Target or Starbucks gift cards, that would be supportive and might earn a tweet from the queen.

ITA! I figured that out a long, long time ago.
I also really believe Casey Kreider was a relative of Kate's. If you read through the Tweets you'll see why I think this. Once again she threw a family member under the bus all in the sake of "reflects on me in the end:(". This person was trying to stick up for Kate but the control freak that she is, could not trust her to say the "right" things so she denounced her. What a bitch!

My sediments as well about the People Magazine purchaser-peoples. If they sell 1 copy or 1 million copies, Kate gets the same amount. Which according to her tweet the other day, is $ZERO$. Kate said they don't pay for the interview. Somehow I find that hard to believe. You mean stars donate their time so a magazine will sell?
Kateplusmy8Kate Gosselin
@auntieprise1701 yes. People does interviews and NO they don't pay for them!
The way I see it, this new sports car has a lot to do with Kate's obsession to keep up with Beth. If you remember, Beth had a Porche convertible 2-seater when she was still on the show. Thinking back, Kate has purchased everything just like Beth had including this sports car, home with acreage and pool, etc. She coveted what Beth and Bob had and it became obvious. It's impossible to remain friends with someone who is jealous of you as Kate appeared to be of Beth. Sad, really.

*****************************
Your point may be correct about Casey being a relative and Kate silencing them. Others speculate it was Kate herself trying to "praise" and keep relevance and be able to tear into haters. Who knows? I noticed again this was another one that Iwanna called out, then Kate came out of nowhere and said "I have to jump in here".
I mentioned a few posts ago about how it seemed like Iwanna gave Kate a lead-in tweet about the car so Kate had a feed to reply on. The same thing happened here. Is Iwanna always whining about not getting any tweets from Kate so they can throw us off when really they are in cahoots with each other? He claims no tweets in over 100 days yet Kate settles two big issues in the past two days on his lead-ins?

I'm passionate in what I believe in but yes, sometimes, the line between passion and being an idiot is a very fine line.
I crossed that line several times but this time, I crossed it in a way that was wrong, not informed and shooting from the hip. There was someone on Kates Twitter account that responded to my snark and I responded back with more snark. I continued to call this person out and we both went back and forth in a childish way.
This person actually stopped responding to my taunts and acted like the adult, yet I continued to act like a total ass and continued to wax bravado. Truth is, this person is the one who showed the class and bravado and today I found out that this person is a true hero, a member of the military and ready to deploy once again.
He is well known if you google his name and he's a warrior, a hero and someone with a story to tell, yet, his story was being quashed by the powers that be, just because he wanted to excercise his right to free speech.
Admin, if you'll allow me to post this apology, I'll appreciate it as I'm the first one to call out Kate for all her wrongs yet I should also call me out for mine. CJGRISHAM is a hero, a warrior and I stand corrected for my childish remarks to this remarkable person. Nuff said"
Kate said they don't pay for the interview. Somehow I find that hard to believe. You mean stars donate their time so a magazine will sell?
If you do some searching this has been known, but I think it really came out during the Casey Anthony trial a lot more.
Magazines and TV stations/programs often do not pay for INTERVIEWS, but they do pay for the PHOTOGRAPHS and/or VIDEO that they run with those interviews.
That is why there is often a big scramble to get the first pics of a big celeb's baby, for example. They pay top dollar for those photos. If you do a google search about Angelina Jolie (who is famous for donating the money from first pics of Shiloh, I think it was, to some charity) and also Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes was another one that first pics of the Suri were a big deal.
Casey was paid $200,000 in licensing for photos (and maybe video I'm not sure on that), which supposedly went directly for attorney fees. This was documented during her trial.
So yeah, Kate is right, they don't pay for the interview. No one has asked her about the pictures though. I'd like to see her answer to that question, to see how she words that one. She is clever. She always words stuff very carefully
To lighten the mood a little...Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their arse when they ask where the bathroom is?
I agree with those who are describing Kate's constant talk about lack of money as "tacky." No other "stah" ever goes on television and discusses their bank accounts, do they? Kate makes Kate look so bad because she just can't keep her mouth shut. We really don't care to hear her whine about money, Jon, unemployment, or anything else. She makes no sense and 99% of us have caught on to her lying, grifting ways. Where is your pride in all this, Kate? You say you do it all. How about doing it all and remaining quiet and humble about it? Turn over a new leaf. In time, you might begin to earn some respect. Give it a try.
I'm going to suggest another reason/possible rationale for Katie Irene's decision to trade in the one Toyota for the used Toyota and the Audi back in April. First of all, we have to agree that Katie Irene has been very lucky in her 'career' in that the public was willing to put up with/ignore for the most part, her narcissistic antics in order to see the children. Second, it's been well documented that she has been given chance after chance to spin off in her own right into other jobs in the field of entertainment. Which she failed at miserably because she has no true talent. Because she is incapable of recognizing or admitting that fact, she came to believe that TLC would continue to film the children until they reached 18 and/or she would continue to be given other jobs in the entertainment field. After all, she still hadn't realized her dream job of becoming a co-host on a talk show or doing voiceovers in children's movies. I think the production meeting in April that "went very well" did not go so well and Katie Irene was told that things needed to change or the show WOULD end. So she returned home, put a positive spin on the meeting for the sheeple and stewed. Than because No Never Means No in her world and she just knew the opportunities would never end and there were other networks who would jump at the chance to have her show, she decided to show TLC that she is Can Do Kate who is able to make her own decisions and control her own destiny, etc. So she decided to get rid of/trade in the Toyota that TLC bought her as a way to say F--- You to TLC. I'm sure she rationalized her actions by telling herself she deserved it, but it also sent a message (the wrong one) to TLC. She would have been better off to sit down and work with TLC to improve the show or her chances to segue into other entertainment work. As a result, TLC has sent her a message and she is now crying in People that she was only given a moment's notice re: the cancellation of HER show. Just my two cents.

Ah a quick google search brought up an article that is exactly on point:
People who need People
From the article:
But to keep its perch, People has turned to the entertainment industry as never before, having pumped up its celebrity coverage and shelling out staggering sums for celebrity photos (the most notorious being the reported $4.1 million for the Brangelina baby photos)....
Another Excerpt: (bolding mine)
Us Weekly editor-in-chief Janice Min states, "They are among the biggest spenders of celebrity photos in the industry. They pay staggering amounts for the most nominal things to the huge things. One of the first things they ever did, that led to the jacking up of photo prices, was to pay $75,000 to buy pictures of Jennifer Lopez reading Us magazine, so Us weekly couldn't buy them.
"That was the watershed moment that kicked off high photo prices in my mind," Min added. "I had never seen anything like it. But they saw a competitor come along, and responded. It was a business move, and probably a smart one."
Also, she would have done well to remember what happened to Jon when he went up against TLC/was no longer willing to perpetuate the myth of one big happy family after he realized the negative effects their reality show had on the whole family. She should have realized that TLC held all the cards and were quite capable of getting rid of her. Heck, if she couldn't remember that or was incapable of analyzing the whole fiasco and realizing that TLC went after Jon in order to protect THEIR interests, not just hers, how did she miss the Charlie Sheen debacle this past summer? He may be starting to rebound, but he does have talent.
Memo to Kate: NO ONE is irreplaceable. You left your nursing job and the hospital where you worked is still in business. Your children are getting older and younger HOM's have been born. Other women, who have paid their dues in the entertainment field, are being given opportunities to co-host talk shows. YOU are getting older, need to grow up and take responsibility for actually parenting and SUPPORTING your children.

Thanks for pointing that out Gosselin Gossip. I'm not very familiar with Twitter, but I will be sure to watch the time stamps in the future. I still think that Katie Irene had some inkling that the show was not doing well when she traded the Toyota in and her actions were a deliberate dismissal of the facts and a kiss-off towards the growing disapproval of the public.
Susantoyota
I'm surprised that Kate wants to pursue a career in TV, because she thinks it's "fun". She sure looks and sounds angry and put-out most of the time on Kate Plus 8! She talks fun, but acts like she's been sentenced to 20 years of hard labor at a gulag.
Oh man, I bet she'd be the coworker from hell. Probably very good at "angel of mercy" type stuff, like delivering flowers on the candy striper's day off, but when it comes to the icky and demanding nursing tasks? Not so much. I wouldn't put it past Kate to try to intimidate or bully young, new nurses into doing her tasks.

Or, anticipating the meeting with TLC which was to take place shortly, K8 thought they were gonna give her a big 'ole raise (because she thinks she is all that)
Has anyone see this article from Werny Gal posted TODAY, on 9/11?!
Kate Gosselin a Matter of National Security?
[A post regarding Steve's new occupation.] If I receive a reply I'll let you know how Steve's counter-terrorism tactics will be utilized on behalf of kate, as we all know kate Gosselin's health and safety, not to mention happiness, are a matter of national security.
I'm very disappointed in you, Werny Gal...actually, quite offended. How callous of you to post something with this INSENSITIVE headline, ESPECIALLY on 9/11! Did you intentionally use Kate today to garner attention to yourself?
I should have posted this on her site but I stopped following her blog after her E!THS appearance. This just reminds me why I stopped.
Sorry, ending rant. Now back to what really matters TODAY.
To those tragically lost on 9/11, we shall never forget.
love it, she's wondering 'who' will be her 49K follower and says she better start planning for the 100K celebration (it only took her how many months to get half way there?).
I'll give her this, she never ceases to amaze me with her ability (TALENT) for being able to always top her last act of stupidity, just when we all say 'it can't get no stupider'.

#################
No real awareness of her coming irrelevance has hit her brain. If the newest tweeters weren't bought and paid for, they're the direct result of the train wreck, which will soon be over.
She'll only make 100K by buying fakes. It's all downhill from here, whether she recognizes it or not.
In response to Kate saying she gets no money for the interviews, magazines, etc. I don't know if this is true or not, I highly doubt it. But as Kate loves to contradict herself there is video of an interview with Joy Behar regarding Jodi & Kevin talking out against the kids being on TV.
In the interview Kate states that Jodi and Kevin made "hundreds of thousands of dollars" off telling their "lies". Well, if Kevin and Jodi made that much . . . why hasn't Kate?
barbee said... love it, she's wondering 'who' will be her 49K follower and says she better start planning for the 100K celebration (it only took her how many months to get half way there?).
I noticed that too. I'm oretty sure someone asked her if they could have a Twitter party when she hit 50,000 and she said yes. Guess not anymore, she's holding out until 100,000.
I just want to say to hold each other tighter today. Be with the ones you love. I cannot believe it's been 10 years.
Be good to each other.

9/11/2001 affected everyone worldwide, especially those in the US. I live in Vancouver, Canada and go to the US all the time for gas, grocery shopping and my vacations. I love the US and all the people that I have been lucky enough to meet in person and on the blogs.
My thoughts and prayers are with everyone today in memory of those lost on Sep 11.
I love the relationship that Canada has with the US and here is a wonderful video by Tom Brokaw that explains the camaraderie.

I agree with those who are describing Kate's constant talk about lack of money as "tacky."
I agree Gammy- add me to those who think discussing finances and crying poor (especially when 1 is a millionaire) is TACKY.
Grammy said Kate has no pride- again agree. Call me crazy but if I made a millionaire out of myself (or my children did it for me LOL) then I would be dang proud to be able to pay for things, like trips. And I wouldn't grift because I could pay- and would gladly pay- crazy, I know.

Of all the videos that I have watched of this bitch, this one has to be the one that really got my blood pressure pumping most of all.
It just shows how pathetic and stupid she really is ! She is just so into herself and truly believes her own lies.
Make sure you watch until the end of the video, as her last statement is the one that makes me realize what a true liar she is.
She doesn't know what the word "Truth" is. That it is one of the first words I taught my son.
Sadly..her children will grow up not knowing the meaning of that word either, as there is no truth that ever comes out of their mothers mouth.

What HIppie Chick said, cannot say it better.
Perhaps even k8 will take a twitter break today, but she is of so little relevance it hardly matters.
We're on our way to our local fire station to thank our firefighters & then a Memorial Service for 9/11, but I had to say something about Kate's people cover.
I went to the store yesterday & on 4 racks, all of her magazines were turned around. I helped out & turned around 3 more. I thought that was hilarious.
Peace to you all.
Guess I could say something about People - last week their cover story was a poignant revisit with the children whose father's died on 9/11 - this week they feature a photoshopped Kate Gosselin and her family, and an article in which she whines about their financial future. You could not make this stuff up, so if I have an opportunity today to turn any magazine covers around myself, it will give me great pleasure to do so.
I have read that even Brad and Angelina received money, which they donated to charity, for the first cover of their twins. We are getting lots of half-truths from the lips of Kate. Anyone surprised? Of course not. I just left our local Wal-Mart and the racks are full of People mags. Some were turned around! Same applied at Walgreens. Hooray!! The 99% who can't stand her photo-shopped mug are speaking out and not having to say a word. Get a clue, Kate.
Not to mention if they didn't get paid is she saying her kids worked without pay AGAIN?? Real fair Kate.
Wish I could say GM 2day butthere'sstill so much hurt inthe air-it's palpable! We will nvr 4get! Thx esp 2day2all who hav fought fear..&won! about 4 hours ago

GREAT point. I remember Kate tweeted late that day, after 10pm, that she was exhausted! from the photo shoot (all for the fans, of course) and couch interviews, and I knew that the kids were doing the exact same thing.
Kate just can't keep her lip zipped. She steps in it every time.
She still insists that she wouldn't be able to take the kids to the local amusement park unless TLC paid the way? Just how much does it cost to visit Dutch Wonderland?

OMG! The whole 'I will never speak bad against their father' ... blah blah blah
And the sheeple truly believe this ... is what I don't understand. I've seen a lot of sheep ... and they all had ears! Take a step back and listen to her past interviews sheeple! You seriously never hear her take digs at Jon?! Then you are deaf!
She has said publicly or implied in her passive/aggressive way that ... Jon doesn't see the kids more than 2 weekends a month because Jon doesn't want to, Jon doesn't pay child support, She doesn't understand why he has any say in their children's lives, she is a 'single' parent, the kids want a "daddy", the crew is their "daddy" ... on and on. What about those digs do you not get! And there have been many many more!
I had never watched that video before though ... and to see her acknowledge the fact that her children will eventually be able to access everything that both she and Jon have said and done ... is sort of refreshing to me. In her narcissistic mind ... that relieves her of any responsibility ... because she is always right in her own mind. I guarantee, her kids will see things differently.
And I love that she says she's only speaking out on things that she can't ignore blah blah blah ... well guess what sheeple ... that's exactly what Jon did in the rumorfix video. He was finally FED UP with her lies and wanted some venue to respond. I note that he's not on the "talk show tour" Kate is on right now ... and I can guarantee you he's been offered since K8+8 cancellation was announced!
He decided he's not going to sit back and listen to Kate lie to the public about him anymore! He spoke up! He did it respectfully and not knifing her in the back like she does him. And he's done!
I have NO DOUBT that once those kids are old enough .. they will realize which parent loved them for who they are ... and which parent was there to make money and a "career" for herself off of them from BEFORE the day they were conceived.
On a day that I've seen the BEST that humanity has to offer ... I can truly say that she's one of the worst humanity has to offer.
And lastly, Katie ... most stars make it a point to minimize their not so attractive features. The fact that you don't let comments process in your brain before they come out of your mouth ... or your little tweeting hands ... would be something I'd work on if I were you.
If you would ever find some humility ... not treat the father of your children like shit ... along with the "help" and your own children ... people might find you likable again some day. But it's going to be an uphill battle now ... and it's going to depend on you changing.

I'm a little behind, did she recently say she can't afford to go there? Why is it that she is seemingly unable to "make a memory" unless TLC is filming it and footing the entire bill?

Based upon my experience with blogs, the posts that appear that are "being moved" happens because of when they are approved. The posts are all in time order, so if admin approves a post at 1:00 first, then later approves a post that was done at 12:30, the 12:30 post will fall automatically into the correct time slot, not in the order of approval.

Thank you for the candle, Admin. I needed just that amount.
Sometimes I work in Manhattan and go in through Port Authority when I take the bus, or Penn Station when I take the train. I am proud of America but am so saddened to see the National Guard wielding assault rifles standing around in both of those places. I love them that they are willing to protect me and everyone else but hate that it's necessary. What was taken from us is so much more than all the innocent who died that day 10 years ago.
I have been listening to helicopters buzzing around outside for hours now and wondered if this, too, had something to do with the commemorations--then realized, no. These helicopters have nothing to do with the death and destruction--they are celebrating. Jets and Cowboys playing today at The Meadowlands. And I realized life does go on. Even here. We had our day of mourning. Let us now live again.

None of us are promised to- morrow, so let's hold our families close and be thankful for all
our blessings.
The whole world changed that day, and we will never forget. Thinking and praying for you, your friends and neighbors to the North.
I will never forget that sign that said "We are all New Yorkers." Thank-you N.E. Psychologist for reminding me. There were no borders that day, either ;it was North America.

TLC Ship, like I said I haven't deleted comments today. Certainly not any from you! I remember that comment. I looked myself and don't see it. Weird!!
I don't like hearing that comments were here then disappear, I assume that means blogger is being buggy. :-( :-(
Can we figure out a way to blame Jon for the
blogbug?
TLC I think I figured it out the issue at least with your comment.
If you use blogger they have a "spam" box, I checked it to see if anything was in there, sure enough there was your post. I checked not spam and like magic it's now appeared again.
I have a feeling the "matter of national security" language or whatever was said in your post was probably what triggered the spam filter. A filter I see is seriously flawed.
Re the Twit's twit about reflecting today and focusing on what's important . . . family and friends. She must be looking at herself in the mirror - no family, except the kids, but to her they're just little moneymakers (so sad, they deserve so much better) and friends - uh no! As we all know the only thing she focuses on is herself. And being together today - the kids must have come home from Jon's, not because they wanted to, but they had to.
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/blogger/thread?tid=2f055acbcd7b6e53&hl=en
I think I just figured out one of the issues.....comments are subsequently getting marked as spam. My spam box has 39 comments in it I have to go through.
Apparently you have to train the spam filter, and there's NO OPTION to turn it off. Ugh, off to train.
I suppose Kate isn't twittering much today because she is in NYC getting ready for her final round of interviews. She and Stevie are probably dining at Nobu as we speak.
Whatever the reasons, I think for once Kate is doing what NORMAL celebs do on a day like this. One or two tweets tops about how they are remembering this day, then shut the f up.
Not the best day to be twitter-twatting about yourself all day. Kate either gets that, or is busy.

Administrator said...TLC Ship, like I said I haven't deleted comments today. Certainly not any from you! I remember that comment. I looked myself and don't see it. Weird!!
I don't like hearing that comments were here then disappear, I assume that means blogger is being buggy. :-( :-(
TLC I think I figured it out the issue at least with your comment.
If you use blogger they have a "spam" box, I checked it to see if anything was in there, sure enough there was your post. I checked not spam and like magic it's now appeared again.
I have a feeling the "matter of national security" language or whatever was said in your post was probably what triggered the spam filter. A filter I see is seriously flawed.

Thanks for responding, admin. I thought you might have censored my comment to prevent any trouble on your blog that it might cause. Then, both comments didn't appear and I thought you blocked me somehow.
Guess it's a sensitive subject for blogger today too, since it was considered spam.
As Kate would do...EYE <3 U! Thanks again, admin :)
Anonymous, you might be posting in a previous thread as I see comments from anonymous posted there. Are those yours?
At the very least, Kate is missing the "humility chip." Enough said.
just got back from the grocery store. Tons and tons of People left. they are all packed full. Woman's Day ..... only a couple left in each slot. Nat. Enquirer about 1/2 full.
Was happy to see the Redskins and Lions win today. Welcome back NFL! College football not as fun for me the past 2 weeks... :(
Not all surprised to hear Billy Bush is being an asshole, it's in his blood. I hope none of Jon's kids saw it. Though they may agree with the bad things said about their mum, it's still very hard to hear it. I know it was/is for me.

*******************************************
Billy who? Oh, that's right. His last name is Bush.
Kate thinks there is a direct relationship to the number of twitter followers she has to the prospect of getting another tv job. She probably didnt start tweeting until she got the vibe from TLC that her show was on thin ice. They have probably asked her to tweet for a while and she only started when she felt she needed to in order to stay on tv. She thinks if she gets million plus followers that shes guaranteed a job.
TLC yes, stupid is as stupid does.. My bad.. thank you TLC. Don't know how Admin does it. so much to read and keep up with.
As a Canadian, I too commemurate this sad day. My cousin was among the 24 Canadians who lost their lives in New York on 9/11. I have been so proud of my fellow Canadians in Newfoundland who opened their hearts and homes to the many U.S. citizens who were stranded there when their flights were diverted on that day. For some who spent time at community centers without bathing or shower facilities, the good people of Newfoundland put signs in their windows offering a bath or shower and/or a meal to any and all travellers. Today has been a somber day of recollection for my family.
The majority of her so called "followers" are thought to be dead beat Twitter accounts, and some say she bought them from a web site to look relevant. But, those facebook people are real, and they are not happy about KG. The posts are into the thousands combined, all from newspapers and other media outlets. Sponsors need to beware. Those fb people are serious about her getting off TV, getting a real job and for her to stop begging for money, telling lies, and hiding from the IRS. The majority told her to become a real parent to 8 broken down children. The recent lies she posted on her twat account, and in the interview for People Magazine, stating she is broke, then flaunts, a new to her, $50,000, car, along with the statement that her 6 figure (or more) "Manger" will stay on with her, most likely finished off her dreams of any TV future career.
9/11 We will never forget...
The People Magazine in the markets, and service station stores in the deep south, were turned backwards, and it did not appear any were missing from the stack bins. This was over the week-end at a few different stores. Bad PR move on People's part. 9/11 was not about KG. Waste of money for all those sponsor ads to sit there to collect dust, with no one seeing them.
I think facebook is one of the better judges of public opinion. A wide variety of people are on it, a better cross section that those that might visit a blog. It's very hard to fake an account so you're not getting a misrepresentation of how people feel and the amount of people who feel that way. And people put their real names behind it, which often suggests they are so convicted they are willing to put their name behind it and it's not just a shit-stirring driveby.
Kate was right from the beginning, it looks to me too like about 90% of folks see through her, if not more.
My kids are all grown up and I still need trips to Sam's for giant bundles of paper towels. She can't fit groceries into that car. When will she be using the Cougar-Mobile?
++++++++++++++++
One would be surprised at the number of plastic grocery bags that can be squeezed into the trunk of that car. I have the same car. I had a cart and a half of groceries, and the nice young man who helped me load the groceries (they do that as a courtesy where I shop) laughed when I pointed to my car, figuring I'd never get all of the bags into the trunk. They all fit.
Yes, she can fit groceries in that car, although I'm not sure why she wouldn't take the SUV to do her grocery shopping. Maybe she does.
On of Kate's super fans is busy trashing administrator on her site in her latest post and boy does she have a lot to say! This one makes Baby Mama look sane (of course there friends as you would expect) For those of you who aren't familiar with it just Google zigglyflo at blogspot and it will come up. Her blogs are unreal. She has an excuse for all Kate's behavior and basically everyone else is wrong but Kate, always. Guaranteed laughs to who ever is interested

There are those who think that they are above the law when it comes to libel. They are playing with fire. One of these days they are going to have a very rude awakening, and it isn't going to be very pretty.
Gosselin Gossip ...
SHE was mad at TLC even before the meeting. There was no logic to her trading in the LC, that TLC gave HER. Size was not the issue. There is barely a difference. It prob did piss TLC off. You know, the saying "don't look a gift horse in the mouth?"
TLC was good to her and her children. Too good. Many of us will never be treated like that in our life time. I don't get it, I really don't with her.
"Originally, it was BigFanOfKateG, NOT BigFanOfK8. Check BigFanOfKateG twitter page. She has not tweeted since 9/6. This is the original BigFan, the lonely one without friends who was eating garlic and wearing Spandex.
However, BigFanOfK8 is NOT a Kate fan (tweets are not complimentary), but the avatar and bio is the same as the original BigFanOfKateG.
So, either the original BigFan did an about-face on her allegiance and changed her name to BigFanOfK8, or BigFanOfK8 has hijacked the original Big Fan's account."
=========
I just read some recent tweets by BigFanOfK8, and I would bet the farm that I know who it is - several of the person's signature tags (from Twitter) are all over them, and it is NOT the original BigFanOfKateG posting as BigFanOfK8.
Emschick, no need to bring that nonsense over here. That blogger is truly deranged and has made up lies out of thin air not just about Jon but about other bloggers like me. Last winter I believe was when she dreamed up an article about Jon that never existed, it was then that a lot of folks here said they finally believed me when I said she made up things out of thin air about me too.
She has repeatedly said that I begged for donations, I lost some kind of school scholarship, and I'm a drunk. The first two are bad enough, but going around calling a private person a drunk when that person doesn't even drink (i.e. without an entire episode of drinking and foot linking and hangovers to back it up as fair discussion) is pretty much an open and shut libel lawsuit, bam, wham, thank you ma'am.
I'm tempted to file such a lawsuit for a few thousand dollars to teach her a lesson and donate to Minor Consideration when I win (not if), it would take me just a few hours of my time to draft the paperwork up and file down at civil court, but filing lawsuits against batshit crazies tends to just egg them on. Also, I doubt she has the capacity to even pay such a suit so why bother. I envision someone in a crazy hospital somewhere allowed to have a laptop.
All that said, this is not a blog just to talk about other blogs or bloggers as hers is, so kindly let's move on to better things....I haven't visited there in ages, but if she is still attacking me on Sept 11....really? Unbelievable, on a day like today. Can't she pack up shop with the lies for just ONE DAY?
I also have to say I really don't get a blog that just talks about another blog, often called a "flog." I don't spend my time doing entire posts making up lies about someone as batshit crazy as her. If someone wants to support Kate, they're free to go start their blog and do their thing, why should we care. We're always going to discuss our disagreements and sometimes outrage over people who support Kate, that's fair game, but I feel so strongly that there is no reason, NONE to harass these people doing it and make it personal, be it by making a blog post about them, posting to twitter, calling employers, or anything like it. That's one reason I sort of don't really mind BabyMama, I never remembers her blog spending that much time attacking this one.....I think once in a blue moon she said something, but 99% of the time they keep to themselves and discuss zucchini recipes, fair enough.

.................................
LMAO kida sums it doesn't it
I don't know if I agree that TLC was good to her but frankly they were better to her than most networks. Most networks when faced with a trouble maker like Jon would say forget it we're out. TLC stuck with her to fight him and gave her an entire legal team plus legal eagles to STOP PA legislation (what the f-ity f!), and this send-off she is getting from TLC is WAY more than many stars have gotten. She's getting a finale to air everything she ever wanted to say. They could have just as easily said okay we're done now and just aired whatever footage they have left, no questions asked. Better networks do that all the time, cut the cord here's the door see ya wouldn't wanna be ya.
She is getting an official sendoff and should be grateful.
sorry meant kinda*
My understanding is even a lot of fans think this Z person is totally deranged, a fringe sheeple. I don't see BM interacting with her.
Just like we certainly think certain someones are fringe "non-fans" and not representative of us.
Oh one of the reasons I will still keep this blog around is because I am virtually certain Kate's going to try to sue TLC for something at some point. I give her four months before the paperwork is filed. It's coming. If she doesn't, I promise to eat a jar of fluffernutter.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
TLC couldn't care less whether Kate keeps a car or doesn't, but consider this - if the LC was a "gift" from TLC, it may very well have been a LEASE for a certain period of time.
Kate may have been angry because the lease was up, and TLC wasn't willing either to extend the lease, or give her another car.
When she said she "traded in" (not sure what her exact words were) the LC, she may have meant "turned in" - because she HAD to, since the lease had ended.
The Audi may have been her own personal consolation prize after TLC treated her -in her mind - so badly. The Sequoia was just what she was supposed to have anyway so that she could avoid the vehicle that allowed her to carry her whole family.
I doubt very much that TLC "gave" her the LC. Usually, companies will lease a car they provide to a contractee, not actually purchase it.
TLC may very well have given her cars, but she would also very likely have it considered as income and taxable.
For the life of me I don't understand someone in her situation taking payment in freebies and not cold hard cash.
I would say thanks but no thanks, I'll take that $60,000 SUV in cash, buy a fuel efficient car for half the price, and invest the other half.
I don't know if I agree that TLC was good to her but frankly they were better to her than most networks. Most networks when faced with a trouble maker like Jon would say forget it we're out. TLC stuck with her to fix
------------
No way would TLC have left then, the money was rolling in. Ratings were at their highest, tabloid covers every week. That divorce was like xmas for TLC.
It would make more sense that they would have canceled JK8 earlier and never even considered K8 if Jon and Kate had been able to keep up the happy marriage facade.
Legally Blonde ...
Can you give a hint as to where it is posted? Would like to see what she posted. Why would anyone put themselves out there like this, liability wise, for KG?
Tamara, I bet they would have kissed Kate goodbye when Jon was causing problems if they thought the PR would be too bad. You can bet they sat down in a room and weighed all their options. They probably said well, fighting a father who just wants his children off TV might make us look bad (and it DID, to many, though not all), is this really going to be worth the loss of good will and possibly viewers on the chance we'll make millions more?
They took a chance on Kate knowing the PR might be bad. TLC DID take a chance on Kate by backing her through this suit, and it probably did pay off for them in the long run so they made the right call, but it was still a call they had to make and the easier way out many networks would have taken would be to fold.
That said TLC was a smaller network and probably more willing to gamble on this suit working out because they might never get a chance like this again. A bigger network like say ABC could cut ties and not care.
Grammy Of Nine,
YES!!! I have always thought that Kate was crazy jealous of Beth and wanted the lifestyle that Beth has. She may think she has it, but really...what she has is pretty pathetic compared to what Beth has. Beth's house is just gorgeous, and the view from the pool area is brathtaking. You can see it in the first 4th of July episode. Be prepared to swoon! Kate's house is nothing compared to Beth's.
Of course, Beth had the little two-seater sports car...was it a Porsche? I thought it was a BMW Z3 Roadster, but maybe I'm wrong. The Audi is nowhere near as nice. I think those things look like Volkswagens (my youngest once said the little Audi looks like a turtle...he was right!).
Really, Kate is trying to acquire Beth's lifestyle, but she lacks the taste to pull it off. I cringe when I see the interior of her house. Please, Kate, hire a decorator! It looks like you furnished it at Big Lots!
Now, to be perfectly fair, I will admit that I envy Beth her Aga cooker. I want one! But I am not willing to sell my children's privacy to get one. Sigh...don't we all wish we could be Beth for a day. She is a lady with taste and refinement. Kate will never measure up to her.
Has anyone answered this question?
How does Kate and/or her 'religion' feel about being gay? Would she 'banish' any of her kids that are?
There is absolutely nothing wrong with being gay.
I just would like to know where she stands on this.
@totally disgusted The mere fact that Kate invoked the memory of 9-11 and the victims in a public tweet in such a way that does nothing but draw attention to herself is totally disgusting.
I've remained off twitter all day so as not to draw Kate's attention to any attention she thrives on. After tomorrow, her show is gone and the after shocks from the demise of her show will go on for possibly a week or two. From there she's part of the dust heap of dozens of reality stars who have come and gone and most of us don't even remember most of their names.
She'll do the Wendy Williams show tomorrow, still trying to remain relevant and then the twitter party tomorrow night with a few very diehard fans. The backlash tomorrow night by her followers will be exponentially worse than it has been these past two weeks.
If Kate was ever sincere about anything which she's never been, her sincerity would have spoken volumes and quite loudly by not tweeting her concerns for the 9-11 victims in the morning and then tweeting her upcoming episode on Wendy Williams in the evening.
Can't have it both ways.

emschick1128 posted upthread where it can be found. The blog, in my opinion, isn't deserving of anyone's attention.
Time to move on.
Admin, that is serious stuff she is saying. Please tell me how you deal with the lies and bashing? I too, am bashed on certain message boards by the competition with my side job, and it is ruining me, and devastates me. I could understand if any of it was true, but knowing it is not gets to me so bad. You are an attorney, which most of us can't afford, but you have the means to at least send her a C&D, but you take the high road. Why? How do you stand it? Teach me how you deal with it and go on..
I don't like that anyone wants to turn to political talk. By bashing Bush you bashed some of us on this blog. I could say some really nasty things about Obama, but why? It's really the same thing as all of us on different blogs having different opinions about Kate. Bush was no saint, but he was not the Satan a lot of people believe he was. I'm sure Obama has some good things about him. I personally think he's a good speaker.

Okay, this is funny....my son came home from work at Costco today...no copies of People sold yesterday, but ONE woman came in and bought 6 copies, and was blabbing about how it was the least she could do to show support for Kate, and how all the "friends of Kate" turn every TV in their house to her show on Mondays to help her ratings... And the thing about turning every TV in the house to her show--would that even work? Do they count the number of televisions when calculating ratings, or just count one per household? Strangest thing I have EVER heard!
-------------------------------
The only entity being helped by that obsessive behavior is the Electric company. Honestly, the number of people who fail to understand how television ratings are calculated is absolutely staggering! Unless a household is a Nielsen household, what people watch on televsion has absolutely no bearing on ratings. Period!
(If you are a Nielsen household, you know it, there is no question. No, there is no magical device in all television sets that transmits data to tell people what you are watching. If there was, it would be a gross violation of your privacy!)
It's always bothered me when I hear people say things like, "Well I'm not going to watch such-and-such because I don't want them to get the ratings."
It's a nice sentiment, but doesn't matter one bit.
-One Time Poster
Anonymous, the key is to do actually what Kate "claims" she does, never look at it!
After I realized what that blog was doing, I never looked at that blog, ever. I actually don't even like that people tell me about it here. Although well meaning, it prevents me from completely ignoring it.
A lot of celebs say the same thing as Kate, they simply don't look at anything negative or it will eat and eat at you.
Also, I take a page from Jon, too. All that matters is what I know and my family and friends know--that I'm not any of what they say. Hard to live by, but I try.
Just checked the schedule for the "Today" show tomorrow and find that Kate will be among some "heavy hitters." (No less than the likes of Barack Obama, Dr. Phil, Nate Berkus and Martha Stewart). Could she possibly grift a new job? Maybe she will bring her "bills" and cry a river for them?
Anonymous,
Thanks for clearing that up--I had never given any thought to how the ratings were calculated. The situation says a lot about Kate's followers. They think she NEEDS them to help her. Come on, folks, this is a woman who wouldn't cross the street to help anyone else--unless they were waving cash or gift cards in the air.
By the way...who the heck is Wendy Williams? Have never even heard of her. So mush for Kate's "media blitz". I am disappointed about the Today Show, though. My son has appeared on that show. I wish they had higher journalistic standards and would filter out the morons like her.
I think TLC made the educated guess that women and the press would take Kate's side because the mother/woman's side is nearly always the most popular or sympathized. Just look at family courts, though I know I'm preaching to the choir there with you Admin :)
I am still kind of amazed that there are people whom post and read sites like this one whom don't know Gosselin "history". It shows how insanely popular the show got that one season.
Well, Kate is sitting among the celebrities, isn't she? Let's see.......President Obama can help her make a Federal case out of her firing, Dr. Phil can help her find a new "brand", Nate can come give her a free house makeover, and Martha can become her new free chef and gardener.
When you sit with people in high places, make sure they know how to help you. That's my motto, anyway.
Snark
Well she is one blessed lady to be sitting there with the President of The United States. Plus, all of the other famous stars. I would not have any problem with this if I believed at all that she earned it, or furthermore, truly deserved it. I sometimes question how she gets what she does when he doesn't seem to practice any of the basics in life, like giving back, being humble, being honest, working hard, ect. It is just given to her. No college degree, no acting lessons, no talents, no speciality training, but she is invited to be on with the President? Yea ok...whatever. It's never going to end, and she will continue to make a mockery of it all.
Fido, motto? Motto! What's a motto with you? Some reason that comes to mind... A disney song? Kate would be right at home with "Dr" Phil. I think I saw somewhere he will have the first sitdown with the Anthony's.
Well, well, well, Kate with the president? I'd like to remind her what the White House said after some creep decided to sell Obama girl dolls:
"We believe it is inappropriate to use young, private citizens for marketing purposes." January 2009.
It's really the same thing as all of us on different blogs having different opinions about Kate.

Kate can't even deal with the fact that one of her kids is so "imperfect" as to need glasses. I'd say her tolerance level for any seeming "deviation" -- based on her religion or just her sheer stupidity -- is pretty low.
She's such a twat.
Billy Bush is a piece of shit.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
She may be among some heavy hitters tomorrow, but I don't see her getting a lot of face time with any of them. It's not a situation like the View where she was guest-hosting when Dr. Phil made an appearance and pretty much ignored her:) Security will be tight because of President Obama's presence and I doubt he even knows who she is and access to him will be restricted. In fact, because of the security I see a scenario where everyone is kept in their dressing rooms until time for their segments, etc. I also don't see Martha or Dr. Phil going out of their way to even acknowledge her. Don't know the other guy.
Oh, BTW Katie Irene--the J&K+8 show was on for 4 years? and K+8 lasted for 2 'seasons'--the proof is in the reruns and DVD's. Stupid lying cow.
Susantoyota
Is Billy Bush one of the "Texas" Bushes? I didn't know that but either way, he's still a tool.
Mocking a man for living a simple life is disgusting. Than again, (if he's a Bush Bush), Barbara Bush said the people in the Katrina stadiums were actually better off than before .... little bit out of reality, those Bushes.
ok, thanks Susantoyota for explaining. I thought she got to sit with all of them back stage. They all have real professional & star quality credentials to be where they are, and she has no business there at all?
Does she get paid for this interview? And why does she get to go on the show, if she is not promoting anything or selling anything, and she doesn't make anything, and basically has nothing to offer? They really let her come on the show to beg for a job?
I am really trying to understand how she is still receiving VIP treatment even after TLC pink slipped her.
Billy Bush is a piece of shit.
***********************************************
Because he makes a living bashing people with trivial gossip on national tv.
President Obama will be in the green room with members of the Secret Service waiting for his appearance on the Today show. Dr. Phil, Martha Stewart and Nate Berkus will be waiting in another room. Kart and her top advisor/road manager, ex-boobyguard, Steve will be rehearsing her farewell, pity me speech in a broom closet.

Just clarifying that this comment above is not mine nor do I agree with the opinion. I'm not sure why Anonymous directed it at me as I never made a comment about Kate being mad at TLC.
think like an angry grifter, I agree with your post about the Landcruiser and TLC. Although Kate tweeted that she "traded" it in, it's possible that she was lying about it. Some people thought she was doing the right thing downsizing to a used car, but now we recently discovered she ended up with two vehicles.
Admin has a new post.
Layla, Beth is certainly a woman of grace and refinement. Kate could take several lessons from her book including the fact that a few years ago Beth and her husband, hit by the economic downturn like many of us (or at least that is my understanding), downsized their lifestyle. They sold their home, bought a smaller more affordable one for $225,000 +/- that they restored and lo and behold seem to be doing fine.
Today is September 12, 2011 and the last show of Kate +8 and all should end. Jon is just as bad as his ex wife. He is no "real father"...he is what we call in Children's Court "a visiting father" who relinquished all responsibility of his children to his wife and TLC for $$$$ to get out of his contract and ALLOW Kate and TLC to raise those kids, on TV.
Both Kate and Jon are responsible for the future of the fragile 8 lives they BOTH Brought into this world.
For Jon, overweight again (hey, beer puts on weight) and sitting there calling the 'ketttle black" is stupid. He has walked away from responsibility.
So, as Jon says his kids are happy to see him every OTHER weekend and sleep in sleeping bags in his apt and they LOVE IT?? Please remember that kids will do anything, especially when very young to see their father or mother.
Let's just check back when the 6 are about 15 and they don't have time for Dad and the twins are not in Jon's life at all.
Jon as well as Kate screwed up these kids. So if everything is down hill from here on out because neither Jon nor Kate can "keep those kids in private school as well as staying in a very big home with lots of private land to protect them from the public" well, what a shock to the systems of these kids.
The best thing Kate can do is get her relatives back in the lives of her children so that there is a Buffer in their fragile lives.
8 very confused, fragile, scared children is what Kate & Jon now have to deal with. All they know is filming, travel, camera crews....not relatives.
Get off the sofa Jon and get your self into court and NOW get custody EVERY WEEKEND and get yourself in shape to help your children.
As for Steve, well, they could all get honest, is Steve the lover? Be real, no one is stupid, especially not Kate's brother and his wife. Lots of people know exactly what Kate is all about.
I do not care if the Audi car is used. You put your life on Reality TV, you Grift for free stuff, then you owe the public explanations. You do not use the public. You have no control over us kate, only over your kids. Amen.........go to work, stay out of the public and Jon? You two stop the public jabbing
When I heard Kate's remark about "mediocre," right away I thought about the lyrics in "Homeward Bound," (mediocrity) and what may become of her life when all of those people she has alienated finally desert her:
"Tonight I'll sing my songs again,
I'll play the game and pretend.
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me."
