Jon doled out some simple, yet profound words this evening as the curtains were drawn on the final episode of Kate Plus 8. We wish this good father we've watched for six years, a father who has proven over the past several months he really does walk the walk, a life of happiness, love, and perpetual privacy for his children.
The source is Kate herself!! In the RV episode, when they stopped and did laundry, goshopping, and get ice cream, she was saying that sshe wanted to move there, it's beautiful, great shopping. organic ice cream, "sign me up!". And then she said she asks herself every day why she lives in Pennsylvania, if you've seen one farm you've seen them all.
Falling Like a Brick, I guess it's all in perception. I didn't really take "anonymous'" post as holier than thou so much. Little snarky, sure. I was mostly responding to so many saying his tweets are private for a reason....and how that is illogical. Plus I certainly hope no one actually thinks anything they post on the WWW on a social media site, whether they mark them private or not, are actually private. Scary.
I found this- Tom Clare, senior director of product marketing for Websense, cited three main tips companies need to communicate to their employees about social media. Tip #1: “if you don’t want it on CNN, don’t post it.”
Just like we get in our briefs at work.
Also, I read that, regarding the whole wikileaks scandal, that when logging into a site, people "waive their “reasonable expectation of privacy” in data voluntarily conveyed to third parties" Scary, but true. For now.
For the record, I don't believe Jon's tweets should be shared. I also believe isn't really keeping private by tweeting. Maybe he should DM- LOL
One more thing about Jon. He could confirm the boob job that Kate keeps denying (not that any of us with eyes and 1/2 a brain need confirmation).
He's never said one word about it. You can bet if Jon had any "surgical enhancements" done privately while married to Kate that were speculated on publically, she would have blabbed away.
Jon's classy enough to know Kate's breasts are none of his business and if she wants to lie about them, he could care less.
Didn't it just piss you all off that Kate Gosselin, Kate frigin Gosselin, a GD reality show personality, made more money that Jon Hamm, or Edie Falco of Nurse Jackie, (great show BTW!!), or Mary-Louise Parker of Weeds (Another GREAT show!!) & these fantastic actors have been in the acting business, the REAL 'biz', for a LONG time.
Their shows are FABULOUS. Kate Gosselin made more for ONE show that ANYONE on 'The Walking Dead' makes for one show,-yet another phenomenal show- but, we don't hear any of them bitching about money problems, do we? No. They are careful, they invested well, they have financial advisers, they live within their means.
Kate is either lying (check) or stupid (check). And it boggles my mind she made more than these amazing actors do, just for having kids & exploiting them. ~Hippie Chick~
@Gosselin Gossip,on Kate calling Wernersville, Ghettoville, It was reported on this blog back in April as was reported by the blog owner in Wernersville who also has a counseling practice.
I love the picture of Hannah running to Jon with that big smile on her face. Hannah is favored by Kate, and she doesn't even look that happy when she's with Kate. Jon treats all his kids the same, and Hannah seems to prefer him over her own mother. Very telling.
I think it's going to be hilarious to watch Kate and this website thing - she has no clue how they work, can't manage the technical end of one and already she's frustrated by the domain name thing. Karma, when she realizes that there is not a damn thing she can do about the 'fakers', and that Daddy TLC is not there to make it go away. Like others, I think that Stevieo has a contract with TLC, like Kate, and so will be on the payroll until then. After that, doubt Ms. Tighty Wallet will be paying him. There will be some interesting things happening once the contractual obligations are met, and then you will really be able to put a fork in her.
Admin-thank you for showing how much Jon loves those children.
Kate may claim that she loves her kids, but I think it's more that she loves the fame and perks that those kids gave her. She will never understand that it was the kids who brought her fame. Without the kids, she is nothing.
Well, in light of the fact that the show probably averaged about a million viewers all year, Khate might think last night's two million was good. BUT, let's remember the ratings that K+8 debuted to last year, before the ratings nosedive.
Guess what, Khate? The much anticipated show finale STILL did not even get the ratings that the first three episodes got in 2010!
2010 Series Premiere - two episodes on June 6th, 2010:
June 6, 2010: 3.376 million viewers - Episode one - Episode two: 2.996 million July 11, 2010: 2.229 million (0.8 A18-49)
Did she seriously call Wernersville "Ghettoville"? That is just hateful. We have our second home in the area, and we love it! If you take the main thoroughfare through Wernersville, the houses there are nor brand-new McMansions, they are smaller, historic homes. I love that! Our main home is in a busy metropolitan suburb, where the houses just keep getting newer and bigger, the traffic is awful, and shopping is a nightmare. We go to PA, and we can all feel our blood pressure drop as we get to relax and enjoy life. I love the quaint homes, the ancient churches and buildings, and the peace and quiet. We have to keep our first home because of my husband's career, but when he retires we plan to move to PA permanently. We like to walk into stores where the salespeople smile and greet us. We like having neighbors who bring baked goods to the house, and stop to chat when we run into each other while walking the dogs. She may think that's a ghetto, but some of us think it's heaven.
Layla said...Did she seriously call Wernersville "Ghettoville"?
In retrospect, this is from the same person who no longer holds any credibility with me after her E!THS appearance, corn maze, Kate-post on 9/11, and other questionable rumors/gossip that people posted here from her blog.
I believed it then, but now...not so much. Others may have a different opinion.
She really is stupid, isn't she? I just saw the tweets about the "fake" site. I love it, she's going to go nuts without having TLC to ask for help anymore.
First of all, I was going to mention this yesterday, but I didn't want to tip her off. I had noticed that she was promoting the new website on TV and in tweets, but she still hadn't updated her bio on Twitter to include a link. So, I just checked her Twitter page for the first time today, and now I see that she has updated her bio to include it. BUT, she's so dumb because she just typed the www.address. She didn't put the hyperlink (make it "clickable"). Also, she's doing the same thing in her tweets. She's typing the web address but not the link that makes it easy for people to click on. What an idiot. So much for whoever is helping her out with the tech stuff!
HEY ALL. Several have posted that they are bowing off this site now and I want to say farewell to each of you, and thanks for the giggles. If you want to keep in touch, please feel free to click on my blue "Dwindle" and leave me a message. :)) (Warning to sheeple: I have a Rottweiller that doesnt like sheep. Hehehe.)
For the people whom follow Kate's twitter fans, can you tell me what other celebs they follow? Are they as vocal on other people and subjects, or just Kate?

I seriously think she bit off more than she can chew with this website. She probably thought it was simple to run like twitter, but it's the complete opposite.
There are still many available domains related to kateplusmy8, kateplus8, and kategosselin she really needs to purchase immediately. This isn't twitter where she can cry to her "internet po-po" to have them remove the fakes. It's not that easy.
Not sure if this Basar Designs offered to create Kate's site for free (in return for promotion), but it's a major fail on both ends. I still consider myself amateur, completely self-taught, but even I could have easily designed that in a couple of hours. The domain was purchased 8/28/11, which is more than ample time for me to create a more substantial site.
My suggestion to Kate: get more content up NOW or pull the site down until completed and redirect to a temp page. For my brother's site, we kept the forum and gallery active while the rest of the site was under construction. Kate could work on her blog section until the site is ready for re-launch.
Kate's current site...all [bad] show, no substance.

It does seem like she isn't receiving much help from TLC. They really left her to fend for herself now.
Guess Kate now has to settle for "mediocre" people to help her.
This is just too funny. I know others have already posted about Kate having an issue with a "fake" site, but did you see this article about it?
First, her tweets:
CJWhodunit CJ Whodunit @Kateplusmy8 I'm sure you're already aware of this. *sigh* kateplusmyeight.com/index.html 7 hours ago
Kateplusmy8 Kate Gosselin @CJWhodunit what is it? A knock off site? 6 hours ago via Twitterrific -----------
So, if she has a tech person working on the website for her, why does she need her tweeple to tip her off about it? Also, if she had a real tech person, this wouldn't have happened in the first place. It's like website design 101.
Kateplusmy8 Kate Gosselin www.kateplusmy8.com is THE ONLY official Gosselin website...NO OTHER site is ours and NO OTHER site has content written by ME.Many fakers! 6 hours ago
Kateplusmy8 Kate Gosselin Gosselin OFFICIAL website: www.kateplusmy8.com Is ONLY official site. All others are fake! *official site uses number 8- NOT spelled out!* 5 hours ago
-----------
I also saw that the tweeple have been trying to help her out, to make a clickable link for the site on her twitter, which I had mentioned in my earlier post here.
And, here's a funny article about her screw-up. Khate, you loser, you can't get anything right, can you?!
I'm thinking this web site was just a last minute idea and Kate hired the first company that came up on Google to do it for her and now they've screwed it up.
I'm also thinking I sure hope she got TLC's permission to do this, because they may very well claim they own a trademark in any variation of "Plus eight."
Damn, I just had a post go "poof" after I clicked to post it and I can't get it back.
I was just laughing at how Khate has already messed this website stuff up. I see how her tweeple had to tip her off to the fact that there was a "fake" site. I also just saw that they were trying to tell her how to make the site link clickable on her Twitter, which I had mentioned in my ealrier post.
Hmm, so if she has a tech person, why did she need the tweeple to alert her to the "fake site, and to help her make a hyperlink? Also, the whole "fake" site issue shouldn't have even been an issue. If she had a real tech person (who she paid), then they would have scoped it all out ahead of time and taken care of it.
Check out this article about how she messed it all up:
Okay, let's be generous and try to believe that she didn't actually say something so nasty about Wernersville, but she DID still completely diss Pennsylvania ON CAMERA, so there's no getting around that. I suppose PA isn't glamorous enough for her. Which makes her insanely delusional, because she is as "common" as they come.
By the way, Nobu can't camplare to JR's Pizzeria, where Jon was photographed with the kids a few weeks ago. My family will take their yummy pizza and one of their HUGE plates of cheese fries over Nobu or STK or whatever any day. Jon gets it, Kate, why don't you?
Someone had this Peanuts comic strip posted today and it made me think of Jon. Charlie Brown and Linus are talking and Charlie Brown asks what Linus whats to be when he grows up. Linus replies? "Outrageously happy."
Seems to me Jon isn't worried so much about where the money will come from or what the kids will do or where they will work or all these things Kate obsesses over--he just wants these kids to be happy.
God bless the internet, here it is: http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqpqn4Eb2s1qzgrx5o1_500.jpg
Arrgh, I just had a post go "poof" for the second time after submitting it. I hit submit, waited for the message to pop up saying it's been submitted, and then poof, it's gone and I can't get it back.
Oh well, not going to type it all again. I was just laughing how Kate has messed this whole website thing up so badly. If she had a real tech person take care of it for her (and who she paid), she wouldn't need her sheeple to point out to her that there's a "fake" site, or that she doesn't have a hyperlink (clickable link) to her site on her Twitter page. The whole "fake" site thing would have not have even happened in the first place if things were done correctly. It's web design 101.
Check out this article about how she screwed it all up:
Khate, you loser, you just cant get anything right, can you? "Waahhh, TLC, help me, get right on it...waahhhhh!" Ha, you're out of luck, too bad, so sad....OVER!
I don't think the website will amount anything more than her supposed blog she had on TLC. Kate's comfortable with twitter because it is limited to 140 characters, she can abbreviate what she wants to say and can pretend to be a heartfelt, loving, generous and caring person in less than 140 characters. There's no voice afflect and there's nothing to gauge her sincerity in tweets.
Kate having a website will take much more thought, design and intelligent conversation than she is actually capable of doing on her own. Unless she hires Beth to write her thoughts while Kate sleeps or actually takes Iwanna up on his experience as a computer literate, this website will be wrought with nothing but pictures of her kids, once again invading their privacy and cheap memorabilia for sale like Gosselin Cups, pictures, autographs and possibly a new way to consign used clothing online instead of schlepping it to the local consignment store.
It's been one day since she stuffed it down everyone's throats that she really, really wants/needs a job in show business. No word from her on anyone taking her up on it. So, how long til we can stop holding our (collective) breaths and feel confident that she won't be showing her leathery, orange face on our TV screens ever again?
All Kate's "explanation" did was insult people more!
She essentially said that unless she's TV she can't provide for her kids. How insulting to anyone who busts their butt and mediocre jobs to provide for their kids, that's not good enough for Kate. Those kids are not provided for enough, or good enough, up to her standards, is what she's saying.
@maria, I honestly think that Kate will be back on TV and possibly after the fall sitcoms have their run. I'd be willing to bet that Kate will be back on television in some fashion after the holidays. It will be a big ratings bonanza for the network that hires her for 1 maybe 2 shows and it will be all about Kate sans kids.
Unfortunately, I don't think Kate is going to go away this time. After she's brought back in another reality type show and it eventually fails, she'll be gone but there is a network executive out there that sees her as being a lightening rod for discussion and really bad behavior and they will try to buck up their bottom line with advertising revenue by putting her out there to make an absolute complete ass of herself.
She's down right now but she's not out. Count on it.
gosh. the tweets to kate are some of the most butt kissing things i have ever seen. how do they trash jon but excuse kates behavior as being stressed? stressed from what? having nannies to watch kids, a laundry girl, no "real job" in over 6 years, more money that she possibly deserved from that crap fest, for not saving for her children's future? this woman lets others bash her kids father while egging them to call US the haters? and these fans don't even know kate's real story. they saw a few cute kids and heard kate say she is organized and that jon is evil and they jumped on the train. i would never post and bleet unless i actually had facts. she brings about a very strange fan following. funny thing is if they ever met her she would have steve push them away as she complains about being bothered. kate gosselin is no one to be admired. people just fall for the original branding TLC tried to sell and never saw the HUGE truth that showed itself over time. i looked at other celeb tweets and don't even see that amount of fawning that i do over the grifter. and sadly its only like 10 die hard butt kissers. it's bizarre to wonder what they see in kate when they refuse to know her story. they shrug it of as hate when it's truth. why is the truth so scary? if u love kate, by all means do so. but love the REAL kate. not the imagined image of kate. that's what so odd to me. i finally figured it out. since she alludes to things and never gives straight answers people fill in their own fantasy blanks of who she really is. is that the master plan? i actually feel bad because i'm a compassionate person and find something to like in everyone but i cannot find one likeable thing about kate gosselin. i have never disliked someone i haven't met but i truly dislike her and her smug attitude. i feel jon got a raw deal in the media. TLC was backing kate so people bought it. it makes me sick to hear him refered to as a deadbeat, useless cheater. kate deserves the karma train to smack her right off the tracks and knock her back into reality. she is no better than anyone (actually a lot worse than the avergee person with her attitude)
It really is hypocritical isn't it? Why is it that Kate is allowed to be perpetually stressed and all her bad behavior gets excused as stress, but Jon isn't allowed to excuse his two minutes of bad behavior due to stress???
It's reverse sexism, in the fans' eyes a woman is allowed to behave like a lunatic due to stress, but a man is not. Ridiculous.
why are all the tweeties gushing over the website? from reading here it all just says "coming soon" under each tab what is there to gush over? an empty page
"It's reverse sexism, in the fans' eyes a woman is allowed to behave like a lunatic due to stress, but a man is not. Ridiculous"
Everything this woman has done and been filmed doing is abusive and she has for years gotten a pass. The yelling at her husband, getting in her kids face's and yelling the way she did, Screaming at Jon in the Toys R Us and all the other's we've witnessed.
Alec Baldwin called his daughter a "pig" and although I can't stand him, he was pilloried in the press. Kate Gosselin verbally abused her husband and her children in each and every show yet she was the darling of the talk show circuits and the positive press.
You bet your backside it's hypocritical. When a man acts like that, it's abuse. When Kate acts like that, it's "JUST KATE". Total B.S. Abuse is abuse and there is no one above it that does it. It's abuse like water is wet, fires are hot and no one can say either one of them are almost wet or hot.
Kelly, please know that there are many women out there, myself included, who believe that women can be just as much responsible for domestic violence, including verbal abuse, as men, and do not believe our fellow women should get a pass on treating their husband and children like these just because they're the "weaker sex."
Personally I find it outrageous someone like Kate can talk to Jon like that in front of the children no less and still be regarded by so many as a great wife/mother. Try to put Alec Baldwin's face on that body instead of her orange tanned haggard one and watch what happens in the media.
Okay, I read this in a posted article and what I got out of this sentence alone ticked me off: "The best opportunity for all of us would be for me to continue to work in TV as a way to provide for my family,"
The best opportunity of us would be for ME? That does not make much sense. How can you use us and me in the same sentence like that?
Kate please for the love of god and anything that's good quit your whining! You are acting like a 2-yaer-old. "I want, I want." Are you proud the whole freaking US knows you have 8 kids?
Let's see...if anyone is mediocre because they don't have the "career" you had than my brother-in-law, he has 8 kids he works as a teacher, my sister has 7 kids and she works in clerical manager. I have 11 kids and I work as a nurse. Yeah we all sort of have large families. Point being she isn't the only person in the world to have a lot of kids.
We all get by on what we have and you don't see any of us running to a reality TV producer or talk show begging for a job now do you? You must be some piece of work honestly. So your kids won't have the best afforded clothes and toys out there big whoop. You are raising spoiled and entitled children Kate and you should be ashamed of yourself! We need servants, oh yeah, they'll get servants if they work hard. Yeah tell that to every other hard working mother who works a mediocre 9-5 or 12 hour shift they'd love to hear it.
Maybe is Kate spent a day at a mediocre job she might learn a little something about sacrifice, respect, humility and integrity to value what you can afford. But no she's too busy being unemployed and hoping someone will do her the service of keeping her in her lap of luxury she feels so greatly entitled to!
The clip starts at the beginning, and ends two minutes later with this quote: "Any job a man can do to make his way in this world is a decent job as long as he works hard at it and does his best. God didn't put sweat in a man's body for no reason. He put it there so he could work hard, cleanse himself and feel proud....Hard working folks only smell bad to some folks who have nothing else to do but stick their noses in the air."
Also shows how upsetting it can be to a child to have their father insulted.
@Admin, I know you believe that about abuse as do 99 percent of the people on this and many other blogs. I think the people who have posted over the years about how vile this woman is feel the same way. The show got a pass in the early years as a "cute wholesome show that shows the normal interaction between a couple with a large family".
That's as far from the truth as California is from Maine. I didn't grow up like that in a large family and saw nothing but respect between my parents. Granted they had their differences from time to time as most NORMAL people do but they never dissed each other the way Kate did to Jon and as a result, we didn't do that to our siblings.
We weren't kicked out of school in kindergarten for being aggressive and we never hit each other, never. Thankfully, my parents instilled in us a very strong ethic that we are brothers and sisters and to look out for each other. We still do to this day.
The behavior of those children on nearly every show with the hitting, the kicking, the tantrums and all that is on tape for years to come are statements that these kids live what they learn.
We're on the same page regarding abuse. Both men and women are quite capable of being the aggressor. It's never acceptable with either gender and certainly not worth minimizing when one does it not quite as bad as the other. I totally agree with you.
All Kate's "explanation" did was insult people more!
She essentially said that unless she's TV she can't provide for her kids. How insulting to anyone who busts their butt and mediocre jobs to provide for their kids, that's not good enough for Kate. Those kids are not provided for enough, or good enough, up to her standards, is what she's saying.
___________________
And she still has fans? Sheeple still adore and swoon over her? There really is no hope for them.
@smileygrl752 I havent' been to her website but read on her twitter that she only has 6 fans. I know nothing about running a website and just a little about twitter but on twitter, you can purchase your followers. I don't know if you can do that on a website but I'm pretty damned certain you can't purchase comments on a website. Her website will be her downfall.
Her fans are limited to a select few and aside from brownlow and a couple of others, most of the tweets are from juveniles.
I suspect the majority of the 2 millian who watched the finale tuned in to make sure she was truly gone. Regarding her trouble with the new website, perhaps this is something Jon could help her out with. She might want to revert to her original suggestion that Jon occupy the house during his weekends with the children. She and Steve could move out for the weekend while Jon spends time with the children and of course attends to her website needs.
miloandjack @Kateplusmy8 I've always thought it was very gracious of U 2 provide that vehicle so he could have transportation 4 the kids..hope he helps,
kateplusmy8 @MiloandJack uh..... don't want2get in2 an argument so let it b please.:) I pay4nearly all expenses kid related. Period. Take it as u will.
I'll tell you how I take it, Kate. You're a run at the mouth, run of the mill, mediocre fame whore, who simply doesn't know when to shut up. You just can't resist running that mouth of yours. Keep digging that hole, Tempus Fugit, bitch.
Brownlow has set up a blog now. A tweetie named METQQ asked Kate if that was Kate's blog. Kate said no, it was another tweetie's blog. ___________________________
Very interesting. Brownlow runs several blogs and claims to be an artist. On one of her blogs (http://michellekemperbrownlow.blogspot.com), there is a link to her Etsy store where she sells her artwork. A lot of her artwork looks extremely similar to copyrighted rubber stamps and digital images that I have purchased (I am an avid scrapbooker and crafter.) Sure looks like copyright infringement to me!
There IS no interaction on her site, not yet anyway. The way the web site trends are going right now is VERY interactive, if your web site doesn't have a heavy component of interacting with other users, be it comments, etc., you probably won't make it.
Everything is all still coming soon on her web site. The suspense is killing me.
You don't do a soft launch of your web site. If you don't hook your readers right there on the first visit, there is a high chance they will never come back again. Much like a restaurant, you can't give them half-baked cooking and expect people to ever come back again.
Is she talking about the big blue bus and sharing that with Jon.....???
UMMMM, last I checked they bought the big blue bus during marriage. Newsflash Kate, it belongs to BOTH of you, 50-50, fair is fair, asset in marriage you both acquired, why does she think it's now hers??? It's just as much his as hers. She may have gotten it in the divorce but she would have had to make it up to Jon somehow, such as buying his half of it. And why WOULDN'T she share it with anyone who wants to take the kids out all at once. Why would she be so immature for it to even cross her mind to deny someone taking the kids out the use of that?
And if her child support is so damn fair then why is that what the judge ordered???? I thought PA judges were just and right giving her custody why wouldn't they be just and right in her child support? I get it, the judge is only right when she wants him to be right. Whhhhhatever.
I guess Kate forgets that there are many of us who have been through a divorce, know people who have been through a divorce, or work in divorce law who know exactly how these things work and can't be fooled by this garbage.
Also Kate, you don't pay for your kids. Your kids pay for themselves and Jon helps too. End of story.
MiloandJack @Kateplusmy8 ?? or rumor 4 U! Ur ex is braggin that he shares expenses 4 the kids. U let him use BBB..does he split ins., repairs & gas? 23 minutes ago
in reply to ↑
Kate Gosselin @MiloandJack uh..... don't want2get in2 an argument so let it b please.:) I pay4nearly all expenses kid related. Period. Take it as u will. 2 minutes ago via Twitterrific ----------
This doesn't make sense to me. If Kate is supposedly paying for almost all the kids' expenses (as she claims), then what does she do with Jon's child support payments?
First of all, Kate is OBSESSED with Jon. Obsessed. Like needs serious therapy obsessed. She has been going on and on and on and on about a guy she left over two years ago. Who does that unless you prefer to cook bunny rabbits alive? Get a boyfriend already and shut up!!!
Second of all, you have to keep in mind this is Kate. Kate blows more money on these kids than most people would spend on one child in a lifetime.
So while Jon may pay a substantial amount any mother would be very grateful to have to help out, it's never going to be enough. Of course she may be paying the bulk if it if she wants them in the best school the best house the best trips....those are HER choices and hers alone. She can choose to downsize, she refuses.
And really, discussing a child support payment endlessly with anyone other than Jon, attorneys and the judge, is so outrageously inappropriate and has gotten better parents sanctioned.
Hey Kate? We all know you read here. If Jon's payment is oh so very unfair.....why haven't you gone back to the judge to get it changed????? Surely if you're oh so right, the judge will agree with you!
TLC ship is sinking said... MiloandJack @Kateplusmy8 ?? or rumor 4 U! Ur ex is braggin that he shares expenses 4 the kids. U let him use BBB..does he split ins., repairs & gas? 23 minutes ago ********************************************** Thanks TLC ship, I didn't see that tweet. MiloandJack is a freakin' nut.
It angers me to the core this constant parental alienation, she is out of control.
What does Kate want, for Jon to get his own big blue bus? That would drain him financially and how would he pay his child support?! How would that help Kate???? That makes NO SENSE. Why would he do this? Is she a total idiot when it comes to the dollar bill?
Doesn't it make a heck of a lot more sense they keep one big blue bus and share it??? This is very simple to make it fair! Just have a reasonable maintenance fee/insurance/upkeep/gas for it added into the child support payment every month. They can share the cost of it and it can be made to be fair. Jon can also be required to fill it up after every visit if Kate fills it up before each visit, which is more than fair.
Plus Kate, Jon didn't get three speeding tickets which made the big blue bus insurance skyrocket. That's YOUR problem and YOURS to deal with, Jeff Gordon.
Kate is obsessed with Jon and is so pissed off that her Diva attitude didn't translate into better press. On the other hand, Jon's been out of the public eye for nearly two years and aside from the two or three interviews this past month, nobody knows what he's doing.
Kate is going nuclear right now after her verbal slight on national TV with the mediocre comment. She's trying to unring the bell but we all heard it and it sounded like "WRONG".
My guess is that, because of the special circumstances of having such a large number of children, the judge pretty much said that whoever had visitation got the big blue bus. That would make sense, rather than have Jon have to go out and buy a 9 passenger vehicle just so he could pick up his kids for the weekend. Kate's not being generous, she most likely has no choice. But of course she can't admit to that. Another thing, DH's ex, to this day, swears she paid for everything for their kids--everything! And she did, technically. She wrote the checks. That the money came from him didn't seem to figure into her logic (or lack thereof) I'm not sure where Kate is trying to go with this one, but she certainly must think most people are idiots.
OH good grief. And another thing, Jon wasn't BRAGGING.
He was responding to Kate claiming he only pays for their lunches!!! Excuse me but he had every right to say wait just a second that's not true. For pity sake. If Kate doesn't want to hear him bitch about child support, don't BAIT HIM!
The #1 reason I don't want Kate on TV? I don't think she deserves a platform to spew more lies. She uses TV as a way to spread her crap and I cannot stand it.
I am so sick of hearing her say teeeveeeeee non stop. Being on a reality show does not make you experienced in the media. Her own interviews and stints on The View show she does not have what it takes. She is beyond delusional. Guess what Kate..not all tv shows will pay for your home, vacations, clothes, utilities ect. Most tv show employees and hosts ect actually work! Long hard hours. More than nursing even! TV is not a camera just following you around paying for your every desire. So enjoy trying to host a show. You will be away from your kids more than you claim nursing will take you away and you will have to move. Not many teeeveeeee shows in PA. So stop lying about not wanting the kids to change schools and lose their house. You would do it in a second if a TV show offered you a job. ON the plus side you inability to do anything will have you quickly cancelled.
Kate's real dream is another reality show that rides on the backs of her kids. She doesn't want to work her fingers to the bone. She wants to be a lazy slug and get paid for it while claiming "its all for the kids" - you know, the same kids who cannot take gymnastics because they didn't earn enough money for themselves. Mommy First!!!
I really hope the media ignores her and her shameful begging to be handed a job. Try getting some training and then try to EARN a job
Also have you noticed how obsessed Kate is with money? How could you not. All she talks about with Jon is his child support payment.
She never once talks about the benefits of having a father in their life, what he brings to the table for the kids emotionally, things you can't put a price on. No, it's always about him giving her X amount of dollars every month and how it's not enough. She has to put a dollar figure on him and a dollar figure on the kids and what they are worth because money is the only way she can perceive her world. It is, indeed, very sick and sad and downright pathetic.
Kate Gosselin @MiloandJack uh..... don't want2get in2 an argument so let it b please.:) I pay4nearly all expenses kid related. Period. Take it as u will. 2 minutes ago via Twitterrific _________________________
She just can't get it through her thick skull that her kids pay their own expenses. She was only on TV because of those kids. THEY MADE THE MONEY!
I am going to say a prayer tomorrow night for Kate. I really don't want to waist any breath or chits with God tonight because the Lotto hasn't gone off yet and I reserve my prayer time on Tuesday nights for the winning number. Hey, we all have to have goals right? Anyway, tomorrow during my travels, I hope Kate gets an offer from an apartment complex in her area where she's standing on a corner, at a red light flipping an arrow sign that says 1 MONTH FREE and getting all the attention she deserves.
HELL, I'd even film it if she wants the camera lense to focus on her. This would be priceless. All kidding aside, if you ever google the name "Pamela Smart" read the story and see the parallel between Kate and Pamela Smart. Very telling, very scary.
My guess is that, because of the special circumstances of having such a large number of children, the judge pretty much said that whoever had visitation got the big blue bus. That would make sense, rather than have Jon have to go out and buy a 9 passenger vehicle just so he could pick up his kids for the weekend. Kate's not being generous, she most likely has no choice. But of course she can't admit to that. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Absolutely I'm sure that's what happened. Any divorce attorney who did not address the issue of transportation for eight kids on visits is practically committing malpractice. There is no reason this issue wouldn't have been brought up, and clarified and re-clarified so everyone is crystal clear how it will work.
I'm guessing what is easiest and what was probably done is to give the BBB to Kate, have her buy out Jon's HALF, work it into his child support payment the maintenance of the vehicle. Which probably makes stupid Kate feel like she's not "seeing" any money to maintain the BBB since it's buried in a lump sum child support payment. And thus she can lie and say she's doing him some big favor when really this was all worked out so it was fair in court.
Does anyone else believe for a second Kate would let him touch a thing of hers unless the court makes her? LOL.
Does he have to divide his support into little envelopes labeled "school" and "gas" and "food" and "BBB" and "toys" so Kate feels like he's not just paying for lunches?
She also can't grasp the irony that as of 10 p.m. last night, Kate is the only family member who is NOT supporting the kids. Where is HER support, what is SHE bringing to the table???
It wouldn't matter how much child support Jon paid it would never be enough for her, when he was paying 22K a month from his share of the house she never gave him credit for that either. Ex-wife from hell.
1 Peter 3:3-4: Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.
Two years ago this month I started this blog to chronicle the divorce.
I never imagined in my wildest dreams two years from now Kate would STILL be bitching about things like child support and we'd still be blogging about it.
I knew it would be a divorce from hell but I never expected this, she is the ex-wife from hell of the century. Poor Jon.
Since having the sextiplets "wrecked her baldder", as she said in the first TV special when they were babies, and she swears she has had no plastic surgery except her tummy tuck (and therefore hasn't had that wrecked bladder fixed) she can be a spokesperson for Depends!!!

I hope Kate is enjoying that Audi. There are more recalls on that car than Ferris Bueller's name on the Public Address system. http://www.autorecalls.us/aut-02/recalls/audi/tt/index.html

As a family law attorney, Admin, would you say she's one of the most bitter you've seen? In my 24 years in the legal field (although not all family law), I can't think of anyone I ran into like her. A couple of doozies, but she takes the cake.
Also, Jamie was crystal clear in her comments last night. Now Kate's claiming "editing". Puh-leeze.
Administrator said... I'm thinking this web site was just a last minute idea and Kate hired the first company that came up on Google to do it for her and now they've screwed it up.
I'm also thinking I sure hope she got TLC's permission to do this, because they may very well claim they own a trademark in any variation of "Plus eight."
------------------------------------------
That could very well be why it isn't up and running. TLC has already brought the ax down on the site.

She can't shut up, can she? No matter what, she just can't help herself! She started out fine, saying she didn't want to get into it, let it be, etc., but just HAD to throw in that she pays for nearly all expenses kid related.
She's addicted to bashing him, no matter how on-the-sly it is, or if it's an outright declaration. Not only is she obsessed with him (after two years), but she's chronically addicted to slamming him whenever given the chance.

Don't sweat it at your age. At my age, most guys will NEVA trust a fart.
I just read an interesting article. (Sorry if it has been posted already, I'm trying to keep up with all the comments here!)
Khate has no clue how fortunate she is that the kids were all born healthy AND that TLC came along. She has been given so, so much and all she does is bitch, moan, and cry poor.
I am 54 but feel like I'm 25 unless there are beans, crab meat, high waters and IRS Audits. Otherwise, life is good and as my grandmother insisted during church, "just make them little sneakers". Sneakers hell, at my age the only sneakers are the people behind me running out of church and looking for a power wash and a debriefing. It's all good.
Irony about the website as I see it is that the ex-husband is actually the person with the technical skills/smarts to run it for her. That makes me laugh.
re: Jon. Too bad she just can't take the same approach she uses with her entire estranged family which would be to STFU. Sayonara Kate.
Kelly, thanks for the link to the Audi TT recall page.
The next page on the link was a list of 2010 Audi TTs for sale. Most are in the mid-to-high $30,000 range, a few in the low $40,000's. So I am assuming Kate probably paid around $35,000.
The mileage on most of these cars is quite low. I wonder if the owners heard about the recall and traded in early? Or else (Kate, are you listening???) bought it, discovered they had a financial downturn, and traded it in for a more reasonable car purchase.
I would like to hear more from Jamie,i actually thought she was right on the mark with her comments about Kate,I liked her, does anyone know if she is on twitter?

If Kate is in such need of money, ah, what the hell, I'll chip in the 97 cents I found at the bottom of my purse towards Kate's much needed therapy. It'll still be money she can spend on herself and unlike that cereal it won't expire. Anybody else want to chip in a hire amount? Because ya know, per Kate I must be mediocre as a nurse that's all the money I can spare right now.
Also shows how upsetting it can be to a child to have their father insulted. -----------
Just ask William and Harry Wales. Another sad, painful thing for the kids is that having their MOM bashed hurts too. Even if they are often thinking the same things as the basher.
Which is why Jon needs to cease and desist. Just because what he's saying is true doesn't mean it needs to be said. In the end it hurts his kids more than Kate.
I gave myself a time-out after that testy post of mine.I meant what I said, but not in that holier than thou, my shit doesn't stink kinda way.I was having a night, should have just gone to bed!
Next time, I'll put my brain in gear,before opening my mouth, sorry.Thanks for the kind words, even after that post;I won't name you, you know who you are ......
@fidosmommy No problem. The Audi is nothing more than a glorified VW. Same cars. Kate's TT is about 10,000 dollars more than a Jetta but it's the same car. Actually the TT is really an ugly design and although the media is saying she bought an Audi Convertible, that isn't true. She has a hatchback that is thousands less than the convertible.
Kate's TT is the 2 door model of an Audi A4 which isn't manufactured but her car is just a renamed version. Audi is to VW as Acura is to Honda and Lexus is to Toyota. High line names with the same factory assembly line.
Same thing with American made cars. Escalade is nothing but a Chevy Tahoo and those Lincoln Town Cars Kate loves to be photgraphed in are nothing but the Ford Crown Victoria much like NY taxis.
Hoping Kate enjoys her TT as most college kids are enjoying their Jettas. Same car, two less doors and thousands less. Oh well.
This is the worst case of parental alienation I have ever seen, yes. Mostly due to the length.
The parental alienators I've seen get STOPPED before this goes on two years. And by stopped I mean, lose their kids to the other parent. Sometimes I really love CA's legal system.
Regarding the kids' expenses, it's probably technically true that Kate is paying the majority of them, but it's a matter of context: she chooses to send them to an expensive private school, she chooses to dress them in matching brand new expensive clothes, she chooses for them to live in a much larger house than they need, she chooses to feed them expensive organic groceries.
If she were living a more realistic lifestyle, Jon's share would be more proportionate. Unfortunately, it's still probably true that Kate would be responsible for more of their expenses than Jon. My child support for 2 is only $745/mo and my monthly expenses are around $3700/mo. I'll spare the details but that's how much they are even after cutting everything except cable/Internet and having no credit card debt.
I remember the pain in William's eyes when he decided to hold a press conference to address the tell-all one of Diane's employees wrote. I thought he was so mature and grown up as he talked about his mother being betrayed.
I guess he didn't give a darn that a 19 year old young man was still grieving his mother.
By the way it was widely reported it was William's idea to hold the press conference. He wanted to face the press head on to send the message out STFU about my mother, what right did you have to betray her confidence? How could you do this to me?
Honestly I think there would have been a lot more tell alls if hadn't done that. He really spoke to people, it made people think twice.
England has so much to look forward to over the next several decades with him in line for the throne.

September 13, 2011 8:25 PM
I like Jamie, too. I think she'd be fun to have as a friend. I just don't understand what she sees friend-wise in Kate. Kate doesn't give back. It's a one-sided friendship...what can you do for me.
You know darn well if anything bad happened to Jamie, Kate couldn't be bothered. She'd say, "Call me when you get better so you can come help me."
I just finished watching The Runaways, the movie about the band that launched Joan Jett's career and paved the way for future rocker girl bands. Toward the end, Cherie Currie was coming undone and there was a scene in the grocery store. She was dressed in sequins and tight clothes and HUGE heels and gobs of makeup. They showed her heels and she was twisting her ankles all over the place. I thought, "OMG! That looks like the pics of Kate that we see!" And I suddenly felt very sad for her. I don't like her, I don't like what she does, but how sad is it that someone was given opportunities that 99% of the population will never have, simply because she birthed a bunch of kids, and she has lost it all, and it's her own doing. She had a husband who loved her and adored their children and was very hands on with them and put up with a LOT from her. They had a nice home. Their kids are healthy and delightful. They had people who loved them and wanted to help them. And because of her narcissism and inability to see anything wrong with herself and change it (or acknowledge she has changed for the worse), most of that is gone. Sure, she has material things, but those are fleeting. She still has healthy children, but they will have issues x8. She is reviled, she has no partner, she has very few friends, she has no family, she has nothing that matters to everyone who values what is truly important in life. And that is so sad. It didn't have to be like this.
I take it back. I don't feel sorry for her anymore, after seeing the tweet above about how Jamie has never said to her that she's no Angelina Jolie. She lies without thinking. WHY would Jamie say that on camera? Sure, there was editing involved as they lovingly guided the camera over false eyelashes, scads of makeup, etc. But I don't believe for a second that Kate has never heard Jamie say that. Jamie is a straight shooter. Kate's been caught in so many lies, it ain't funny. She will betray ANYONE to make herself look better - but she looks worse. Stupid woman. Those poor kids.
Sitting in her big, blue van down by the river, yelling into her dead 5th pink e-phone- "HellOOOOOOOOO! -God, is that you? Stop playing God and come out here! Jon says you're the only one who knows how to help me!"
WOW, Kate is reverting to Octomom. Actually she is the original Octomom. So she compares herself to Angelina Jolie, wow, your warped sense of worth know no bounds. You can't even compare to a lose thread on Angelina's raggedy old jeans. When Jolie goes out to do charity work, the woman has the brains and the power to make that charity sustain itself. Jolie works really hard to prepare herself for roles, she doesn't stand there and bitch.
Go back to school and go learn a new trade since you can't show empathy for anyone other than yourself. How about a traffic cop, you can bitch at people for their violations and give them tickets and your kids will get health care insurance. You only wish you were mediocre, you stupid bitch, because nobody will hire you to even spray perfume on people with your nasty attitude, go ask Spencer Pratt.
(thanks to JudyK for clarifying her lack of credentials to nursing)

@@@@@@@
Kate has never perfected the art of lying. A really good liar will remember the lie, be able to keep track of what was said, and continue the lie convincingly. Kate's not that smart, and so she gets caught.
One of these days she actually will tell the truth about something, but because historically she has done nothing but lie, nobody is going to believe her.
I sometimes wonder if she believes her own lies, and really doesn't know that she is lying.
From a website on psychopathic disorder:
"Lying, deceiving, and manipulation are natural talents for psychopaths...When caught in a lie or challenged with the truth, they are seldom perplexed or embarrassed -- they simply change their stories or attempt to rework the facts so that they appear to be consistent with the lie. The results are a series of contradictory statements and a thoroughly confused listener."
What is very disturbing about psychopaths, besides their sense of special entitlement, is the complete lack of empathy for normal people, for "antisocials (psychopaths) seem to lack a conscience, feeling little or no empathy for the people whose lives they touch...the antisocial effortlessly resists all regulation, unable to see beyond his self-interest or to adopt standards of right versus wrong."
Judi, we are good over here - I am up way past my bedtime - worried about my mediocre garden there is a frost warning tonight. My thermometer says it's 7 but the TV says it's 0!!

She probably thinks she's more of a "stah" than AJ. We all know Kate is a walking talking bag of really stupid delusions.
Audible Click, you're right. Jamie said that she told Kate she's no Angelina, but now Kate is denying Jamie ever told her that. How does Jamie stand it? I wonder if she calls her on it and says, "Why do you talk about me like that? You know I said it! I say it all the time!" But then Kate would just deny that she ever said Jamie didn't say it, even though the tweet is out in cyberspace for perpetuity.
I had a friend like that - for 10 YEARS she went around telling everyone I talked to in her presence that SHE was the best friend. You would think that I would be the one to decide that. It was all her, all the time. She was ALWAYS very late. We ate at the crap restaurants she liked, while she made digs about my weight (she's obese, I'm small). We'd shop, we'd spend all the time in the big lady shops (where I could poke around the necklace department), and then she'd tell me her husband said we couldn't hang out because he said she spent all his money with me. I said, "How does that work? I don't spend a dime." Every single thing she did was passive aggressive, just like Kate. VERY long story short, a friend's husband died and she had not reached out to this person in all the months her husband was dying. When he did, she called this woman and said they HAD to hash things out, right then. She got blown off. Prior to that, I had given her an ultimatum - the ball was in her court - and I never heard from her again. What a relief. Then at the funeral, which she had the audacity to attend, she came running to the bathroom, right behind me, sobbing.....and I just walked out without acknowledging her. (Met her hubby on the way out and he obviously had no idea we were no longer speaking.) No damn way was she making that woman's funeral about HER. I predict this is how it'll end with Jamie, just as it did with Beth. People just walk away and say 'all done, no more.'
bearswife, it's 1 degree on my thermometer! Guess I better go and cover my mediocre plants and flowers. arrrggghhhh! it's gonna freeze to-nite.
Admin. you did a wonderful job on this re-cap, photos and music. The kids look so happy with Jon and there are no pics of Kate with the kids like that, hmmmmmm......
Teresa, sorry, I keep putting an h in your name, I have a friend with that spelling.
I am going to have to tell Kate to stop using my sayings. She really must read here , cause she said something I've used several times in my posts' having a soft place to fall.'
I own that saying and she's gonna have to pay me if she uses it. She probably won't ever use it again, just another lie to her. She has said and done things that have been talked about here on this blog ,though, it's so funny!!
and this: http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/8090/normalpk011.jpg
It's been said before hundreds of times here but something is very off about her body language with them. They don't melt into her like they do Jon. When she kisses or hugs them there's resistance from them. One of the best examples of this was when she talked to Collin at the corn maze when he was behaving well. He was PULLING away from her uncomfortable to be confronted so close.
This happened when you never know whether mommy is pulling you toward her for a hug........or a smack.
Anyway, we don't need photos, we have 150 episodes proving how she treats these poor kids.

I'm behind on comments, I apologize if someone already mentioned this. When J&K hooked up with Julie May and started canceling all the low-paying speaking engagements, their old website o'grift also got a makeover. The begging and pleading was replaced with an extremely spiritual site. There was a bunch of "coming soon" stuff on there that was never completed. Kate was going to post a different, favorite bible passage every day. Never happened.
I also think this website is yet another way for Kate to give BM the finger. Kate has made it crystal clear she is thoroughly annoyed with BM and her fansite. Sad that BMs lips are still firmly planted on Kate's flat arse.
Administrator said... Also have you noticed how obsessed Kate is with money? How could you not. All she talks about with Jon is his child support payment.
She never once talks about the benefits of having a father in their life, what he brings to the table for the kids emotionally, things you can't put a price on. ______________________________________________
Her viceral hate spewing at Jon comes from her inability (by law) to dispose of Jon like she has with everyone else who crossed her. She's done with him. He gave his "contribution" and now she would like him to go away, and have no contact with the children so she can call the shots. It appears to be literally driving her insane that she does not have total control of the children and she must abide by silly court orders and such. Family law is for mediocre people, not for a stah like her who needs to pimp those kids now and keep momster in her Audi and mansion. I said it before but I'll say it again... my mouth is still hanging open from hearing that she said on national TV that she doesn't understand why Jon has any say in the kids lives. That comment is disturbing on so many levels, I don't know where to begin. She is obsessed with money and fame and it appears Jon is throwing a wrench into her evil plans. If I were him, I would always be looking over my shoulder. I think there's very few boundaries she would hesitate to cross.
I'm now off to my mediocre bed so I can go to my mediocre job tomorrow. Good mediocre night all ;)
hey jude said... Teresa, sorry, I keep putting an h in your name, I have a friend with that spelling ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Not a problem Jhude....lmao you can call me anything you like, just don't leave again k?
Oh gawd....she really hates those kids doesn't she. What terror and pain she must have put them through all their lives. From plain old apathy to physical abuse. Those kids never know how to walk, stand, look, speak, laugh, play eat in case mommydearest gets pissed. What a fucking way to live. Those kids haven't begun to live yet, they are just existing. The sooner they get away from this monster/nightmare the sooner Jon can get them serious psychological help. I hope they can recover from that C**T
I've been reading responses on Facebook, and they are mostly negative. In response to the mediocre comment on the Today show and Kate needing a new job, one said "Where is the damn boo hoo dislike button?"
Posters are suggesting Kate take time off and get therapy. From what I understand, narcissists don't seek therapy because they think they're always right. I wish the best of luck to the kids and Jon. Kate just seems to be a hopeless case beyond help.
I saw comments about the amount of child support. My sister recently got divorced in PA. The state has an online calculator. You put in the parents incomes and number of children. But also alimony, child care expenses, health care premiums and some other stuff. Then it its out an amount. It's not a straight percentage like someone said.
Even efter that is done, you have to go before the judge to have it approved. If he thinks it's unreasonable he can change it.
My sister earns more than her ex so he doesn't pay much. Kate's W2 for the year would show substantial income I would think and I don't know if she could make Jon pay more this calendar year.

Dangit. Just lost a post when my puppy hit the back button on my keyboard. Now I've lost my mojo and a bit of my ire so I'll just cover a couple points.
re editing: So for 147 episodes there was no editing and then right before the RV episode TLC magically found the editing button and was SO excited about their new toy that they spent the last 3 episodes doing nothing BUT editing? That about right Kate?
re the webpage: Aside from making about every mistake even the newbiest of noob webmasters would not make it's great!
I can't wait to see what happens with all the spoof ones that are going to appear. I almost wish I had thought of it myself. It's genius really.
Get the website, pull in her RSS feed and twitter feed to essentially mirror her site and there is nothing she can do about it. It's all perfectly legal. You won't make much of anything off of it (most likely), but you will siphon off some of her traffic and most importantly you will drive her crazy.
Done right the spoof site could be done so much better than her official site and actually make some money, now that I think about it.
Jeanne, that's my understanding of how child support works in PA and it's right on the money for how a lot of states do it. Most of them boil down to some kind of computer calculator that tells you a number, then you take it to the judge.
PA's system sounds similar to the Dissomaster computer program which is basically a logarithm that asks you a bunch of questions then tell you what to pay. It's going to spit out the same number every time if two people have identical circumstances, it doesn't care who you are. Same thing, you can go to the judge if you think Dissomaster's number isn't fair. Mostly it's your income vs. how much time you spend with the kids. The more time you spend the less you pay--with Jon spending nearly every weekend now with the kids that might have lowered his number (which is only fair, Kate!) which might explain her latest propaganda campaign that Jon couldn't keep a kitten alive with this kind of money.
The bottom line is that someone in Jon's shoes is probably paying a similar amount, and if Kate doesn't think it's fair, by all means go cry to the judge and get him to change it.
Dollars to donuts she HAS gone, and the judge has told her forget it lady this is plenty of money to give your kids a wonderful life. Explains Jon's you win some you lose some comment.
Ok, Theresah, I promise not to leave again, ha ha ha....
Those poor kids are surprised and confused when Kate says something or touches them , because that's not how she likely is off camera. They are all uneasy around her, trying to figure her out, so they don't get in trouble. They want to say and do exactly the right thing.
She probably lets the nanny do most of their care and likely spends little time with them, except when filming.They look at each other for cues and to the other adults, like Steve, Jamie & Ashley as to how to act, too.
They behave better for Ashley when Kate isn't around as they probably do with Jon. Kate states her rules on camera, but I wonder if/how she follows through when the camera is off? I wonder who is around when they did those couch interviews, cause they sure acted childish and coached then.
Well, Kate have you got your phone charged? I'm sure those mediocre tv and movie producers will be calling and calling this week!
Hey Jude, that's the ticket, it's you being you and we can't stand the void if ya left. See?! Have to buy you a blow-up of Khate, then you can whack the shit out of it when you get pissed, or just feeling a little down.
(Kate) told E! News this week, "My kids have benefited so greatly, that I shudder to think what our lives would be, scraping to get by and struggling to exist, and having that guilt of eight kids that I can't afford, can't provide for, and who probably never would have left our state."
Kate, when you and Jon finally agreed to pursue another round of IUI, you sat down with your doctor after the second cycle and he said there were 3-4 follicles. By your own words, while he said it was unlikely that more than 1 or at most 2 follicles would fertilize, he was concerned about your decision to refuse selective reduction and suggested that you skip this cycle and only proceed when you had a cycle that showed 1-2 follices.
You and Jon decided that you would "never regret having more children" and went forward.
Did at any time you two sit down and really look at your financial situation and whether you could afford twins, triplets or quadruplets (which was the highest number or fetuses you figured you'd conceive)?
I'm sorry, but this has always left a bad taste in my mouth. It is because of people like you that I can't help thinking sometimes that people should be required to have a license before they can conceive children. Like many things in your life, Kate, you just plain didn't think about anything other than Katie's need for instant gratification and getting what she wanted when she wanted it. New furniture? Sure. New baby? Of course! Never mind that at the outset, Dad wasn't really all that keen. Why? Because he apparently is a long term thinker and understood that having more children would impact your lives, emotionally and financially. He considered what it might mean for Mady and Cara to have their parents attention divided by a new child in the family.
But Jon loved you so much he was willing to put your desire for "just one more" baby (notice I said baby, not child) ahead of his own concerns and move forward, knowing that he would love any child you both brought into this world and would do his best to provide.
To now say that if it weren't for TLC, you'd be mired in the guilt of having children you couldn't afford just sticks in my craw. Do I fault you for carrying all the sextuplets. Of course not. I would not be able to selectively reduce either. However, I also never put myself or my husband in a position where we would have to make that choice.
I fault you, Kate (and Jon as well - he share culpability) in not thinking about how you were going to provide for a new child, be it one or six or seven, when allegedly you were relying on Jon's father to help pay your bills, when your husband had sporadic employment (Not a diss on Jon - this is a typical issue for most people in the tech industry. Don't believe me? Come out and ask any tech worker in the Silicon Valley, where the average time spent in any one job is about 2 years.), and you seemed resentful of having to work anyway, and when you already had two children to support
Kate, I just wanted to tell you that you are more mediocre than any of us. You can't even keep your show on tv, cause you sucked so bad at playing yourself, that you were cancelled!
What does that say about your acting ability? We only watched to see the kids and then didn't watch, because you were unwatchable with your lies, nasty behaviour to your kids, Jon and all your family.
Go get some psychological help, you desperately need it. Don't hold your breath waiting for Mr. TV man to call, it's not gonna happen.Oh, btw, you can go back, Jon did. You just don't want to!
Now, nobody wants you and you had every chance in the world to have a career and blew it with your nasty air of entitlement and lies. God gave you 8 healthy kids, go and be a Mother to them.You have enough money socked away or go to Hollywood and let Jon raise the kids.
Teresa, oooohh, I can't wait for it to arrive! Good idea for therapy! ha ha.I bet you could get them 2 for 1 now! Hurry up before the tweeties get them all...
About Kate's "mediocre" comment going nuclear--I just googled "Kate Gosselin" + "Mediocre" and got 260,000 hits!
For example:
"Farewell Foul!" "Kate explains her 'mediocre' diss after backlash" "Kate Gosselin Calls Your Parenting Mediocre" "Kate Gosselin Says 'Sorry' to All you Mediocre Folk" "Kate Gosselin: Day Jobs Are 'Mediocre'" "Kate Gosselin Believes Money Makes You a Good Parent" "Kate Gosselin Thinks Your Life is Mediocre"
It IS true that some of those hits are about Kate Gosselin dropping "big bucks on a mediocre haircut". LOL, can't make that stuff up!
What started as a dig at Jon has boomeranged back on her and will follow her around the rest of her life. Was the interview live?
Pen Mom: The interview was live and I totally thought "Oh no she didn't!" when she said the mediocre comment. She ticked off so many people and even then she couldn't apologize for it, instead she tried to explain it away. I have a feeling most of her apologies are like that anyway - always an excuse.
What really amazes me is that all the sheeple keep saying that Jamie and Ashley were wrong to speak about Kate in front of the kids.
Yet it was okay how Kate spoke to Jon in front of the kids. The finale clips showed that there were many times she did this.
So in sheeple logic(oxymoron) it's okay that Kate talks about Jon in front of the kids, yells at Jon in front of the kids, but nobody should ever talk about Kate in front of the kids.
As much as Angelina Jolie irks me...Kate is no Angie! How much charity work has Angie done? How many donations has Angie done? How much of a good mother is Angie?
I get Jamie's comparison about Kate aspiring to be 'like' Angelina Jolie, but Kate couldn't touch her with a 100 foot pole. Kate can't touch Kim Kardashian with a TEN foot pole. At least the Kardashian's have a work ethic, as annoying as they are. ~Hippie Chick~

I think people should fill out paperwork & have a psych review & be made to answer a ton of questions: Think "The Game" starring Michael Douglas, before having kids. I have thought this for a long time. There are just some really irresponsible people out there. Not everyone, but some.

ARTICLE FROM ROB SHUTER: HUFFPOST CELEBRITY SEPTEMBER 14,2011 - Posted article here so his website doesn't hits. ____________ "Kate plus 8" said goodbye to TV on Monday night but if you think famous mom, Kate Gosselin, has made enough money from her reality show fame to retire, think again. “[Money] was the first thing that came to mind, Gosselin tells me about her thought process when she found out her show was being cancelled. I read what we apparently make and it's hysterical. That would be a dream come true times two million. So it's certainly way less than people think. We are not set for life. You know I need to work as soon as possible -- as in yesterday. But this is all new territory for Gosselin; she insists she has never been unemployed before. I was babysitting before I was 15. I have never not had a job other than when I was on bed rest, Gosselin tells me. When [the children] were 15 months I was back at work. I have always worked and I am a worker. And I love to work. I love to put my brain toward a project and creating so this is really hard. Although she knows that every show eventually comes to an end, Gosselin admits that she would love to have finished one more season but understands TLC's decision and insist she’s not angry for being let got. I like to finish things until they are done but they make their decisions for their reasons and I will move onto bigger and better things, she reveals. I have a lot of stuff I could be bitter about but I don’t waste time. Just to clarify, in life I have a lot of things to be angry about. I mean in general I could spend my time being angry at things that happen to me in life. But instead Kate is focusing on what she will do next to pay her bills -- times eight! ____________________ Again, please don't go to his website. Rob Shuter keeps writing and writing about Kate & Jon.
her claim to fame is having six at a time, on top of the twins. well, guess what, honey, six the same age and two the same age would be a hell of a lot easier than dealing with 8 all different ages with different needs, wants, capabilities, etc. And on top of it, YOU have NEVER been the sole person dealing with them, you have had help (helperS). Get over it, realize you had a 'fun fling' and NOW it's DONE! With the age of the kids now, you would be able to support them decently on a nurse and Jon's salary. And guess what, YOUR kids don't DESERVE any more than to live 'decently' any more than anyone elses kids. And YOU don't even deserve to live decently UNLESS you EARN IT!
What does she have to be angry about?!! She has eight beautiful, healthy children. She has been given opportunities she would not have had without those children. Just for once, I would like to see her express some gratitude.

"We are not set for life." Maybe you should have thought of that before you bought a $1.3 million home on 20+ acres while, by your own admission on Monday, your marriage was "unraveling". Most people with marriages on the brink of divorce wouldn't take on that kind of financial burden.
Maybe you should have thought of that before you signed eight kids up for one of the most expensive private schools in the region.
She really was stupid enough to think this easy money was an endless pit and now expects sympathy from hardworking "mediocre" parents. I just can't wrap my mind around the stupidity of people that have sympathy for her sob story.
Totally off topic, but I love what you did with Jon's picture with the two girs. I can't tell if it's a sketch or oil painting look, but I remember one you did with Kate on the boat. It flattered her, which bugged me:)
Could you tell me what program you used? I'm just in love with that look.
hey jude said... Teresa, oooohh, I can't wait for it to arrive! Good idea for therapy! ha ha.I bet you could get them 2 for 1 now! Hurry up before the tweeties get them all... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Can you imagine if such things existed? Of course the sheep would want to snap them all up! Poor Paige would probably sleep with hers and Brownie could prop hers up at the breakfast table with a bowl of organic cereal in front of it! But the best would be to buy a whack of them and place them in the front yard of a 'jellus hater'! Can you imagine opening your blinds and seeing 40 plastic kHates in your yard? Oh the horror!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As for child support - what pains me the most is imagining what she must say to the kids. Some of my worst memories growing up were the times my mother made me call my dad re. child support payments. I hated being put in the middle of a grown up situation and even as a small child I knew she was wrong. My mother pulled a lot of stunts like that one, constantly pitting me against my father. 'Stunts' is too mild of a word considering her favorite threat was that she would kill herself if I went to live with my father (which my older brother had already done). I hate to think kHate is probably sending those same messages. Many years of therapy have helped me and I am sure the 8 will follow suit. My dad was strong and constant - just as I imagine theirs is - and that will be a big blessing for them!

If she's not "bitter" or "angry" ... I'd hate to hear her spew her crap if she was!
And I'd like to know just exactly what she has to be bitter and angry about?! She has 8 healthy children. She's been given opportunities not afforded to 99% of the population. She has a roof over her head.
This is why Kate SHOULD NEVER be given a public speaking opportunity ever again. She lets her motor-boat mouth get her into things that her row-boat ass can't get her out of.
@MiloandJack ... U just never know! (wink wink!) about 11 hours ago ______ I looked back to see why she tweeted this and it looks like it's a response to someone hoping she gets a high paying job.
Can't she just go away?! Where's Karma when you need her! Ugh!

I'm sure that TLC is going to love statement about you going on to bigger and better thnings. Does she not realize that people in the industry talk to each other and if you've got a reputation for being difficult you won't get much work. Kate doesn't realize that she was only getting air time on other networks becasue TLC was pulling some strings ans she was the flavor of the month reality star. Kate, here's a phrase that you can put on your toothbrush sink "wipe" board....OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND! You may get a job here and there but that too will come to an end when you don't have the TLC machine behind you AND people realize that you have absolutely NO talent. Enjoy mediocrity!
Hoosier Girl said... I looked back to see why she tweeted this and it looks like it's a response to someone hoping she gets a high paying job.
Can't she just go away?! Where's Karma when you need her! Ugh! ____________________________
She's basically gone. However if you're reading her tweets I guess it doesn't seem that way.
As far as karma goes, TLC canceled her show, the media is ragging on her, her only friends, Ashley & Jamie, have told it like it is (Kate's a bitch), she's got a website with no content...isn't that karma?
@ the u never know (wink, wink) comment some tweeter asked if she had something else lined up. one (or same0 even asked if she was sorting thru her ton of media job offers.. GAG afcter the wink wink the sheeple were bleeting for info. oooh tell me kate and crap like that.
these sheeple..do u think they r long time fans? how to they explain kates turn on the churches who helped support her? the grfting at churches crying "braces times 8 and college will be so expensove" one month b4 closing on the 1.3 mil house? the comments from her herself she walked away from the marriage when an ephinany hit during a planeride? seeing the kids go from sweet and obediant to screamers and whiners (granted they didnt know about big red spoon). how do they believe kate is organized when episode after episode she is melting down over clothes (pack more), cupcake mess, forgotten birthday cakes ect.
the sheeple were telling kate she needed a childrens clothing line. ummm tried and failed.
this woman had the brand (although fake) or being a stay at home, organic coupon clipping loving wife of 8 sweet kids. she set up crafty valentines days, had a family mission statement, loving family to assist, sang carols at xmas, supposedly was a master cook ect. yes it was fake but no one really knew. she could have branched out and made her brand very successful. but her ego got to big. at came the boobs, heels, mini skirts, screeching, ignoring the kids, salad eating maniac we see today. and its all her own fault. she destroyed her own brand to be considered "hot'
what a waste. i can see why TLC dumped her. they worked hard to create her persona and she ruined it. sur ethey tried a new angle of "bitch" but that wasnt very successful in the long run and for sure doesn't equal the $$$'s that the original brand could have made for them.
off you go kate..u had access to it all and blew it. this is why i dont see success in your future. u forgot about family and became ALL about money and it was your own downfall. she wil never be happy even if she gets a hosting job because she will have to drag her butt out of bed and work! she will have to answer to producers..worry about rating..spend long hours preparing. im sure she thinks keppy ripa just waltzes onset and yaps for an hour then goes home. she has no clue how much prep time a one hour talk show takes. she will fail. she has no work ethic. sure the job may pay for luxuries but she will never be an oprah. it wont last and she will hate it.
she should have stayed in the old house or found a similar one in the neighborhood and paid cash for it. finished the basement completely for more space. dug a pool in the yard, paid of a nice minivan, invest her $ and then she wouldnt have to be beggging for a teeeveeeee job. she would have been set. TLC gave her the opportunity of a lifetime and she blew it big time.
MiloandJack ... U just never know! (wink wink!) about 11 hours ago
Oh, please...that's Kate thinking that she's sending all the "haters" into a frenzy. Just like when she announced sh has a "BIG surprise" and it turned out to be a pathetic web site. She doesn't want us to think she's down and out, so she puts out these teasers, which end up being nothing. She wants us to think she ahs some big, new TV career in the works. After Monday's fiasco, I don't think so. She would be nothing but a liablility for anyone in the media. Does someone really want to put her on a talk show to talk endlessly about Jon and money? Cause that's all she has to say.
I can see it now, Kate on a talk show... "Kate, what is your opinion of Obama's new economic poilcy?"
Kate, "Economic pollicy? Well, honestly it's terrible because I had to buy the kids new shoes and all Jon's child support would pay for was the laces".
I think it is disturbing that she will use her website asa way to update sheeple on her kids. leave them alone! she doesn't owe her fans a glimpse into her childrens lives. im not too worked up becasue i predict the site will fail but still. let them grow up away from the cameras. its over! let it go.
the sheeple sobs of never seeing the kids again is just creepy. she needs to protect her kids. they worked for what mommy has. now invest your money and move on!!!
Ya know, what can I write here that's already been written by all the astute posters here? Pathological liars lie even when they don't need to. Kate views the world with her own skewed perspective....and always will. She is a textbook malignant narcissist and even extensive therapy rarely helps.
She really crossed the line with the "mediocre" comment....but what is interesting is that she thinks WE should all agree that she must remain on TV so that she can continue to support the lifestyle they've become accustomed to. I mean hell, I would love to be a neurosurgeon and live the lifestyle that could afford me and make that kinda money but I doubt that will ever happen, no matter how much I might want it...or how much I think I'm entitled to it. She clearly doesn't get that. In her reality, everyone else doesn't matter. The fact that most people live paycheck to paycheck is inconsequential to her.....SHE is the only one who is important to her. And if she constantly lies and contradicts herself.....well,that's the way she sees things at that particular moment. It doesn't have to make sense or fit with anything else she's said.
I'm sure that for most of us, even attempting to put ourselves in the mind of a narcissist is difficult, if not impossible.
Oh....and IMO most of the fans are major man-haters. Their man left them, rejected them, traded them in for a younger model, etc.....so that despite the facts, any time a man is involved, he is WRONG and is a horrible person.
Beth, I am so sorry, I meant no offense to anyone with incontinence. My point was that according to Kate, she HAS no flaws, so admitting to anything about her being less than perfect would be the ultimate comedown for her. This is a woman who cannot even admit to having surgery scars, for heaven's sake!
I apologize for the misunderstanding, and I am the first to admit that I have my imperfections, too, for example: 1. I have cankles. Big ones. 2. I have stretch marks from having my kids. 3. I still get zits, and it irritates the hell out of me. I thought I had left them behind when I got out of my teens, but nooo. Every time something important comes up, like family pictures, I can always count on a huge zit popping up. 4. I have really ugly toes. That combined with my cankles pretty much guarantees that I can never, ever wear heels and a dress. Don't want to scare anybody.
Let's all embrace our imperfect selves and never try to convince the world that we are otherwise.
The View is tearing kHate's People article apart, even Sheri Shepard is coming out against her. I wish I had been keeping notes, I'm sure one of you ladies can give more details than me. But BW said "maybe you should have thought about that before you had 8 kids!"
Kate has been exposed by her own doing and she is angry about it! Remember the old saying, "You can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time." Bring back gratefulness into your life and see what happens, Kate. The "multiple blessings" have been lost on you. So many, many missed opportunities. If Kate ever wakes up, she'll be driven to change. Sad story, really.
Sherri finally came to her senses and said she took exception to Kate saying construction was "mediocre" and said all kids need are food, clothing and shelter. She was really annoyed with Kate and said reality TV fame is "fleeting" and is not here to stay.
Barbara went off on her about how she shouldn't have had 8 kids if she was so worried about how she couldn't provide for them.
Elizabeth was annoyed with how Kate is worrying the kids about how school and the house will be paid for. The kids shouldn't have to worry about that.
No one had ANYTHING good to say about Kate and no one defended her.
The View is tearing kHate's People article apart, even Sheri Shepard is coming out against her. I wish I had been keeping notes, I'm sure one of you ladies can give more details than me. But BW said "maybe you should have thought about that before you had 8 kids!"
************************************************
I caught bits & pieces of that spot too, bearswife!
I guess she's going to have to go on another "setting things straight" tour...
Thank God people are coming to their senses.
Did you see Kate's recent tweet?
RT @sc_sun @Kateplusmy8 spent busstopmoments convincingmy10yrold daughterthatTLC doesn't hateher&didn't takeherk+8 awayjust 2spite her LOL! 12 minutes ago
--------
And the problems for those kids are just beginning. Wait until they cannot cut ahead in lines, or get free tickets to concerts, etc... simply because they are Gosselins.
Kate, you created the "monster", and you have no one to blame but yourself.
You know, none of this worrying and freaking out would be happening if Kate had better money sense and lived WITHIN her means.
THEY DO NOT NEED THAT BIG AZZ MANSION! It's a want, not a need!
She could've gotten a bigger house than the E-Town house, but it certainly did not need to be a mansion on 24 acres. She could've gotten a nice 4,000 to 5,000 square foot home in a gated community with a nice sized yard and paid CASH and not have had to worry about a mortgage. But nooooooooo.....she had to feel like she's Hollywood and only a mansion would suffice.
And everyone would love to have their kids in a posh private school. But with EIGHT kids she should've known that that is a HUGE financial commitment that reality tv just could not accomodate. There is no reason those kids can't go to a smaller private school or even just public school.
Poor Poor financial decisions were made by this ninny. And now everyone is supposed to feel sorry for her?
Such a doggone shame she had millions of dollars at one time, and because of poor spending she will eventually end up broke.
Kate tweeted that she nearly pays for all of the kids expenses, take it as you will. I take it Kate you are yet again omitting the fact that Jon's contribution goes into the pot and from this pot you pay the expenses. Once again, Kate, you mislead the public into thinking you alone support your children. Hey Jon, can't you sue Kate for slandering your good name constantly?
It's just too funny IMO that Kate's big mouth is what is destroying her. For all her bitching about editing, editing what comes out of her mouth is the best thing that could happen to her.
Also, how many families have lost their homes to foreclosure? How many children change schools everyday? These are the things that are the basis for her sob story. Well boo, hoo, hoo. I have massive amounts of sympathy for her kids, but the #1 reason why is because of who their mother is.
"I have never not had a job other than when I was on bed rest, Gosselin tells me. When [the children] were 15 months I was back at work. I have always worked and I am a worker. And I love to work."

Well then Kate, prove it. Get your resume out there Mrs. Talent and prepare yourself for some interviews. Quit jacking around on twitter and go pound the pavement until you find one.

I saw this, thought it was funny. At first I thought she said she ran 10.45 INCHES. LOL But to run 10.45 MILES in 34 MINUTES? I am not a runner, but isn't that kinda far fetched?
Heidiplus2 Heidi Brain @Kateplusmy8 Inspired by u and just ran 10.45in 34min in UK. Love ya Kate and co xoxo
Did she just tweet that one of the twins BLAMES HERSELF for the cancellation? Now why would a 10 yr. old believe that? Because mommy said so, I bet.
Well, I don't think I need to check by here so much, but it will be interesting to see how things work out in the next few months. I think Kate's next big thing will be writing a book, her spin. It is clear Kate wants to remain relevant. She's seen that Octomom is seldom in the news these days.
Glad the comment about TLC hating a 10 year old was just a retweet, but even if it is a comment from a sheeple, what are the family dynamics if a mother has to tell a 10 (!) yearold at a bus stop that TLC does not hate her by taking away her K+8 show, and then makes it a LOL moment on twitter. They're all nuts. Good for the ladies on the View, it's about time. Guess the comment about "mediocre" jobs and aspirations is really biting the biotch in the ass. And you know, you never catch K8 in tender moments with her childre, but Jon, all the time, that's what I remember from the show and what you see in any pap photos.
TLC stinks said... Did she just tweet that one of the twins BLAMES HERSELF for the cancellation? Now why would a 10 yr. old believe that? Because mommy said so, I bet. "
No, that was tweet sent by a fan, Kate just retweeted it.
Thanks for the clarification that was a RT. Still, why would anyone's child blame themselves for a show's cancellation. Bizarre!
I thought it was odd since the kids seemed just fine on the last episode with the whole thing.
Someone had made a snarky comment that Kate probably drowned her sorrows Monday night in NYC and that's why she got home late. You know, I think that may just very well be the case.
Sad that Kate's tweet this morning said, " Spent bus stop moments convincing my 10 year old daughter that TLC doesn't hate her and didn't take away K +8 just to spite her LOL". It is amazing that a child is feeling the effects of not having camera crews around...if TLC was just shadowing "real life" then a kid shouldn't care at all. I also don't think it was an LOL moment...just pathetic.
She could've gotten a bigger house than the E-Town house, but it certainly did not need to be a mansion on 24 acres. She could've gotten a nice 4,000 to 5,000 square foot home in a gated community with a nice sized yard and paid CASH and not have had to worry about a mortgage. But nooooooooo.....she had to feel like she's Hollywood and only a mansion would suffice
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
It is not a mansion. At least not here. Depending where you live, it might be called an estate or a mansion, but here, it's just a big house. There are many houses of equal size, or larger (I've owned one), but never, ever did anyone here ever refer to my house as a mansion or an estate. That kind of makes me smile.
That said, at the time it was purchased, and when she enrolled the kids in school, she thought that reality television would go on forever, at least until the kids graduated. Heck, she was still saying that a few weeks before the show was canceled. I guess in her head, with the money continuing to roll in, there would be more than enough to cover expenses. Obviously, she didn't think ahead.
Even if she would have been advised that this wasn't the thing to do at the time, that it would have been smarter to buy a new house with cash and one that was affordable, she never would have listened. She had absolutely no idea what it costs to own and maintain a property such as hers. She had no experience in matters like that. The Nouveau Riche want it all and they want it now.
I don't for one minute believe that she's broke and desperate for money. Not yet. The wise thing right now would be to do as she should have done years ago - buy that smaller house, send the kids to her old alma mater - MCCS (a very good private school) and get her act together.
But you know it's never going to happen because all of that is just, well...mediocre. Her priorities are all messed up. She thinks that "best" equals material possessions, never figuring that kids don't need all of that to be happy. They don't need VIP treatment, all-access backstage passes, dream vacations, or have luxuries dropped at their feet. What they need is love and protections and parents who will make sure that they have it. They have one parent who will do that. One out of two is better than nothing.
I bet Steve, backstage at Today Show, immediately thought....it's really over now when she said the mediocre comment. She's getting it all over the internet. It's hard to believe that anyone can justify that comment, but somehow some sheeple zealots are doing just that. Apparently, the rest of the world is ignorant because they really understand what she meant.
Anyone watch the View this morning? the ladies had plenty to say about Kate and not very favorable,i hope someone with more knowledge then i have can put up the link for the hot topics.
Yes, Kate poor people always qualify to purchase a a 1.1 million dollar home.
If TLC paid such a paltry amount, why did both of you stop working call it your 'career'.
If the pay was so low and you are so broke, how on earth did you purchase not one 'used' car but TWO in the same day. Mediocre people of the world usually have to squeeze the budget to get just one.
How can a broke person possibly afford not only a 'girl' to do laundry and 'other things' to free you up to spend time with the kids, AND hire a full time babysitter too. ESPECIALLY if you aren't even working now? So you can run? Twitter? Put your website up? Mani/pedis? Tanning? I mean you do have it SO hard. I can see why you are SO exhausted.
The View is tearing kHate's People article apart, even Sheri Shepard is coming out against her. I wish I had been keeping notes, I'm sure one of you ladies can give more details than me. But BW said "maybe you should have thought about that before you had 8 kids!"
====
It kind of irks me that with the exception of Whoopie the women on the View are saying this now, after the fact. What, they didn't see what she was like before? I thought they liked to call themselves intelligent and informed. They had her on enough times and did enough research to know she was a grifter who was exploiting her kids. It just goes to show a lot of people in the tv industry get up and wash more than one face in the morning.

Boy do I agree with this comment, AuntieAnn. BUT I don't think anyone except Whoopie bothered to do research, based on dummy Sherry's comments on the previous shows. Well, Sherry is not too bright about many things, but things were said by ALL of them to show me they didn't do much research AT ALL.
The remark that Kate made about not wanting to be in show business when one is 'as OLD as Barbra Walters or Larry King", probably didn't go over too well with Barbara, I would imagine.
Anonymous: I don't think that bus stop moment actually happened. I think it was a dig that Kate made towards TLC to try to make them feel guilty for cancelling the show. She also made another dig at them this morning about some DVD's and that it stinks that she doesn't know if they will be showing reruns or not (that's the jest I got when I read the tweet). Kate's now on a mission to start throwing TLC under the bus IMO.
Somebody fed her that line. I don't think she could have came up with that word on her own without butchering it. The way she is grabbing up quotes on Twitter, she may have gotten it there or from her top adviser.

Regrets, those notes they hold in front of themselves must be menus from the commissary then. Actually they didn't need to do any research if they had just watched her show.

The source is Kate herself!! In the RV episode, when they stopped and did laundry, goshopping, and get ice cream, she was saying that sshe wanted to move there, it's beautiful, great shopping. organic ice cream, "sign me up!". And then she said she asks herself every day why she lives in Pennsylvania, if you've seen one farm you've seen them all.

Where will Kate be in a year?
On Celebrity Rehab crying on Dr. Drew's shoulder about her debilitating addiction to cameras.
Or on I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Outta Here, or something just as cheesy and Z-list.
Whichever, it won't be substantial, and she may end up in real rehab.

I guess it's all in perception. I didn't really take "anonymous'" post as holier than thou so much. Little snarky, sure.
I was mostly responding to so many saying his tweets are private for a reason....and how that is illogical. Plus I certainly hope no one actually thinks anything they post on the WWW on a social media site, whether they mark them private or not, are actually private. Scary.
I found this- Tom Clare, senior director of product marketing for Websense, cited three main tips companies need to communicate to their employees about social media. Tip #1: “if you don’t want it on CNN, don’t post it.”
Just like we get in our briefs at work.
Also, I read that, regarding the whole wikileaks scandal, that when logging into a site, people "waive their “reasonable expectation of privacy” in data voluntarily conveyed to third parties"
Scary, but true. For now.
For the record, I don't believe Jon's tweets should be shared. I also believe isn't really keeping private by tweeting. Maybe he should DM- LOL

Kate WHO?
One more thing about Jon. He could confirm the boob job that Kate keeps denying (not that any of us with eyes and 1/2 a brain need confirmation).
He's never said one word about it. You can bet if Jon had any "surgical enhancements" done privately while married to Kate that were speculated on publically, she would have blabbed away.
Jon's classy enough to know Kate's breasts are none of his business and if she wants to lie about them, he could care less.
Didn't it just piss you all off that Kate Gosselin, Kate frigin Gosselin, a GD reality show personality, made more money that Jon Hamm, or Edie Falco of Nurse Jackie, (great show BTW!!), or Mary-Louise Parker of Weeds (Another GREAT show!!) & these fantastic actors have been in the acting business, the REAL 'biz', for a LONG time.
Their shows are FABULOUS. Kate Gosselin made more for ONE show that ANYONE on 'The Walking Dead' makes for one show,-yet another phenomenal show- but, we don't hear any of them bitching about money problems, do we? No. They are careful, they invested well, they have financial advisers, they live within their means.
Kate is either lying (check) or stupid (check). And it boggles my mind she made more than these amazing actors do, just for having kids & exploiting them.
~Hippie Chick~
@Gosselin Gossip,on Kate calling Wernersville, Ghettoville, It was reported on this blog back in April as was reported by the blog owner in Wernersville who also has a counseling practice.
I love the picture of Hannah running to Jon with that big smile on her face. Hannah is favored by Kate, and she doesn't even look that happy when she's with Kate. Jon treats all his kids the same, and Hannah seems to prefer him over her own mother. Very telling.
I think it's going to be hilarious to watch Kate and this website thing - she has no clue how they work, can't manage the technical end of one and already she's frustrated by the domain name thing. Karma, when she realizes that there is not a damn thing she can do about the 'fakers', and that Daddy TLC is not there to make it go away. Like others, I think that Stevieo has a contract with TLC, like Kate, and so will be on the payroll until then. After that, doubt Ms. Tighty Wallet will be paying him. There will be some interesting things happening once the contractual obligations are met, and then you will really be able to put a fork in her.
Kelly, thanks but it was Anonymous asking the question, not me. I posted a clickable link from this blog.
Admin-thank you for showing how much Jon loves those children.
Kate may claim that she loves her kids, but I think it's more that she loves the fame and perks that those kids gave her. She will never understand that it was the kids who brought her fame. Without the kids, she is nothing.
JVM has a host of doctors and lawyers discussing the interview with the scamanthony's on th "Dr" Phil show. Interesting to say the least!
Well, in light of the fact that the show probably averaged about a million viewers all year, Khate might think last night's two million was good. BUT, let's remember the ratings that K+8 debuted to last year, before the ratings nosedive.
Guess what, Khate? The much anticipated show finale STILL did not even get the ratings that the first three episodes got in 2010!
2010 Series Premiere - two episodes on June 6th, 2010:
June 6, 2010: 3.376 million viewers - Episode one
- Episode two: 2.996 million
July 11, 2010: 2.229 million (0.8 A18-49)
September 2011- Series FINALE:
Sept 12, 2011: 2.066 million (0.9 A18-49)
Suck on that, Khate!
Did she seriously call Wernersville "Ghettoville"? That is just hateful. We have our second home in the area, and we love it! If you take the main thoroughfare through Wernersville, the houses there are nor brand-new McMansions, they are smaller, historic homes. I love that! Our main home is in a busy metropolitan suburb, where the houses just keep getting newer and bigger, the traffic is awful, and shopping is a nightmare. We go to PA, and we can all feel our blood pressure drop as we get to relax and enjoy life. I love the quaint homes, the ancient churches and buildings, and the peace and quiet. We have to keep our first home because of my husband's career, but when he retires we plan to move to PA permanently. We like to walk into stores where the salespeople smile and greet us. We like having neighbors who bring baked goods to the house, and stop to chat when we run into each other while walking the dogs. She may think that's
a ghetto, but some of us think it's heaven.

In retrospect, this is from the same person who no longer holds any credibility with me after her E!THS appearance, corn maze, Kate-post on 9/11, and other questionable rumors/gossip that people posted here from her blog.
I believed it then, but now...not so much. Others may have a different opinion.

She really is stupid, isn't she? I just saw the tweets about the "fake" site. I love it, she's going to go nuts without having TLC to ask for help anymore.
First of all, I was going to mention this yesterday, but I didn't want to tip her off. I had noticed that she was promoting the new website on TV and in tweets, but she still hadn't updated her bio on Twitter to include a link. So, I just checked her Twitter page for the first time today, and now I see that she has updated her bio to include it. BUT, she's so dumb because she just typed the www.address. She didn't put the hyperlink (make it "clickable"). Also, she's doing the same thing in her tweets. She's typing the web address but not the link that makes it easy for people to click on. What an idiot. So much for whoever is helping her out with the tech stuff!
HEY ALL. Several have posted that they are bowing off this site now and I want to say farewell to each of you, and thanks for the giggles. If you want to keep in touch, please feel free to click on my blue "Dwindle" and leave me a message. :)) (Warning to sheeple: I have a Rottweiller that doesnt like sheep. Hehehe.)
For the people whom follow Kate's twitter fans, can you tell me what other celebs they follow? Are they as vocal on other people and subjects, or just Kate?

I seriously think she bit off more than she can chew with this website. She probably thought it was simple to run like twitter, but it's the complete opposite.
There are still many available domains related to kateplusmy8, kateplus8, and kategosselin she really needs to purchase immediately. This isn't twitter where she can cry to her "internet po-po" to have them remove the fakes. It's not that easy.
Not sure if this Basar Designs offered to create Kate's site for free (in return for promotion), but it's a major fail on both ends. I still consider myself amateur, completely self-taught, but even I could have easily designed that in a couple of hours. The domain was purchased 8/28/11, which is more than ample time for me to create a more substantial site.
My suggestion to Kate: get more content up NOW or pull the site down until completed and redirect to a temp page. For my brother's site, we kept the forum and gallery active while the rest of the site was under construction. Kate could work on her blog section until the site is ready for re-launch.
Kate's current site...all [bad] show, no substance.

It does seem like she isn't receiving much help from TLC. They really left her to fend for herself now.
Guess Kate now has to settle for "mediocre" people to help her.
This is just too funny. I know others have already posted about Kate having an issue with a "fake" site, but did you see this article about it?

I also saw that the tweeple have been trying to help her out, to make a clickable link for the site on her twitter, which I had mentioned in my earlier post here.
And, here's a funny article about her screw-up. Khate, you loser, you can't get anything right, can you?!
http://www.dotweekly.com/kate-gosselin-launches-new-website-kateplusmy8-com/
I'm thinking this web site was just a last minute idea and Kate hired the first company that came up on Google to do it for her and now they've screwed it up.
I'm also thinking I sure hope she got TLC's permission to do this, because they may very well claim they own a trademark in any variation of "Plus eight."
Damn, I just had a post go "poof" after I clicked to post it and I can't get it back.
I was just laughing at how Khate has already messed this website stuff up. I see how her tweeple had to tip her off to the fact that there was a "fake" site. I also just saw that they were trying to tell her how to make the site link clickable on her Twitter, which I had mentioned in my ealrier post.
Hmm, so if she has a tech person, why did she need the tweeple to alert her to the "fake site, and to help her make a hyperlink? Also, the whole "fake" site issue shouldn't have even been an issue. If she had a real tech person (who she paid), then they would have scoped it all out ahead of time and taken care of it.
Check out this article about how she messed it all up:
http://www.dotweekly.com/kate-gosselin-launches-new-website-kateplusmy8-com/
Khate, you loser, you can't do anything right, can you? Waahhhh, I need TLC to help me! Get right on it!
Okay, let's be generous and try to believe that she didn't actually say something so nasty about Wernersville, but she DID still completely diss Pennsylvania ON CAMERA, so there's no getting around that. I suppose PA isn't glamorous enough for her. Which makes her insanely delusional, because she is as "common" as they come.
By the way, Nobu can't camplare to JR's Pizzeria, where Jon was photographed with the kids a few weeks ago. My family will take their yummy pizza and one of their HUGE plates of cheese fries over Nobu or STK or whatever any day. Jon gets it, Kate, why don't you?
Someone had this Peanuts comic strip posted today and it made me think of Jon. Charlie Brown and Linus are talking and Charlie Brown asks what Linus whats to be when he grows up. Linus replies? "Outrageously happy."
Seems to me Jon isn't worried so much about where the money will come from or what the kids will do or where they will work or all these things Kate obsesses over--he just wants these kids to be happy.
God bless the internet, here it is: http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqpqn4Eb2s1qzgrx5o1_500.jpg
Arrgh, I just had a post go "poof" for the second time after submitting it. I hit submit, waited for the message to pop up saying it's been submitted, and then poof, it's gone and I can't get it back.
Oh well, not going to type it all again. I was just laughing how Kate has messed this whole website thing up so badly. If she had a real tech person take care of it for her (and who she paid), she wouldn't need her sheeple to point out to her that there's a "fake" site, or that she doesn't have a hyperlink (clickable link) to her site on her Twitter page. The whole "fake" site thing would have not have even happened in the first place if things were done correctly. It's web design 101.
Check out this article about how she screwed it all up:
http://www.dotweekly.com/kate-gosselin-launches-new-website-kateplusmy8-com/
Khate, you loser, you just cant get anything right, can you? "Waahhh, TLC, help me, get right on it...waahhhhh!" Ha, you're out of luck, too bad, so sad....OVER!
I don't think the website will amount anything more than her supposed blog she had on TLC. Kate's comfortable with twitter because it is limited to 140 characters, she can abbreviate what she wants to say and can pretend to be a heartfelt, loving, generous and caring person in less than 140 characters. There's no voice afflect and there's nothing to gauge her sincerity in tweets.
Kate having a website will take much more thought, design and intelligent conversation than she is actually capable of doing on her own. Unless she hires Beth to write her thoughts while Kate sleeps or actually takes Iwanna up on his experience as a computer literate, this website will be wrought with nothing but pictures of her kids, once again invading their privacy and cheap memorabilia for sale like Gosselin Cups, pictures, autographs and possibly a new way to consign used clothing online instead of schlepping it to the local consignment store.
Another big fail from all early indications.
It's been one day since she stuffed it down everyone's throats that she really, really wants/needs a job in show business. No word from her on anyone taking her up on it. So, how long til we can stop holding our (collective) breaths and feel confident that she won't be showing her leathery, orange face on our TV screens ever again?
Hmmm seems like Kate tried to explain about all of our mediocre jobs.
http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/44507844/ns/today-entertainment/t/kate-explains-her-mediocre-comment-after-backlash/
Summer
All Kate's "explanation" did was insult people more!
She essentially said that unless she's TV she can't provide for her kids. How insulting to anyone who busts their butt and mediocre jobs to provide for their kids, that's not good enough for Kate. Those kids are not provided for enough, or good enough, up to her standards, is what she's saying.
And I say, kiss off, Kate.
@maria, I honestly think that Kate will be back on TV and possibly after the fall sitcoms have their run. I'd be willing to bet that Kate will be back on television in some fashion after the holidays. It will be a big ratings bonanza for the network that hires her for 1 maybe 2 shows and it will be all about Kate sans kids.
Unfortunately, I don't think Kate is going to go away this time. After she's brought back in another reality type show and it eventually fails, she'll be gone but there is a network executive out there that sees her as being a lightening rod for discussion and really bad behavior and they will try to buck up their bottom line with advertising revenue by putting her out there to make an absolute complete ass of herself.
She's down right now but she's not out. Count on it.
Brownlow has set up a blog now. A tweetie named METQQ asked Kate if that was Kate's blog. Kate said no, it was another tweetie's blog.
______________________
That Kate*versations shrine - dripping with saccharin praises for the Perfect Mother? Or, did she set up yet another one?
gosh. the tweets to kate are some of the most butt kissing things i have ever seen. how do they trash jon but excuse kates behavior as being stressed? stressed from what? having nannies to watch kids, a laundry girl, no "real job" in over 6 years, more money that she possibly deserved from that crap fest, for not saving for her children's future?
this woman lets others bash her kids father while egging them to call US the haters? and these fans don't even know kate's real story. they saw a few cute kids and heard kate say she is organized and that jon is evil and they jumped on the train. i would never post and bleet unless i actually had facts. she brings about a very strange fan following. funny thing is if they ever met her she would have steve push them away as she complains about being bothered.
kate gosselin is no one to be admired. people just fall for the original branding TLC tried to sell and never saw the HUGE truth that showed itself over time.
i looked at other celeb tweets and don't even see that amount of fawning that i do over the grifter. and sadly its only like 10 die hard butt kissers. it's bizarre to wonder what they see in kate when they refuse to know her story. they shrug it of as hate when it's truth. why is the truth so scary? if u love kate, by all means do so. but love the REAL kate. not the imagined image of kate. that's what so odd to me.
i finally figured it out. since she alludes to things and never gives straight answers people fill in their own fantasy blanks of who she really is. is that the master plan?
i actually feel bad because i'm a compassionate person and find something to like in everyone but i cannot find one likeable thing about kate gosselin. i have never disliked someone i haven't met but i truly dislike her and her smug attitude. i feel jon got a raw deal in the media. TLC was backing kate so people bought it. it makes me sick to hear him refered to as a deadbeat, useless cheater.
kate deserves the karma train to smack her right off the tracks and knock her back into reality. she is no better than anyone (actually a lot worse than the avergee person with her attitude)
sorry rant over

Hoosier Girl,
As worthless as tits on a boar hog? OMG, I laughed so hard, my Diet Coke came out of my nose!! Love it!
May I add a saying from my grandmother that also works here:
"You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still just a pig".
It really is hypocritical isn't it? Why is it that Kate is allowed to be perpetually stressed and all her bad behavior gets excused as stress, but Jon isn't allowed to excuse his two minutes of bad behavior due to stress???
It's reverse sexism, in the fans' eyes a woman is allowed to behave like a lunatic due to stress, but a man is not. Ridiculous.
why are all the tweeties gushing over the website?
from reading here it all just says "coming soon" under each tab what is there to gush over? an empty page
EM
"It's reverse sexism, in the fans' eyes a woman is allowed to behave like a lunatic due to stress, but a man is not. Ridiculous"
Everything this woman has done and been filmed doing is abusive and she has for years gotten a pass. The yelling at her husband, getting in her kids face's and yelling the way she did, Screaming at Jon in the Toys R Us and all the other's we've witnessed.
Alec Baldwin called his daughter a "pig" and although I can't stand him, he was pilloried in the press. Kate Gosselin verbally abused her husband and her children in each and every show yet she was the darling of the talk show circuits and the positive press.
You bet your backside it's hypocritical. When a man acts like that, it's abuse. When Kate acts like that, it's "JUST KATE". Total B.S. Abuse is abuse and there is no one above it that does it. It's abuse like water is wet, fires are hot and no one can say either one of them are almost wet or hot.
Kelly, please know that there are many women out there, myself included, who believe that women can be just as much responsible for domestic violence, including verbal abuse, as men, and do not believe our fellow women should get a pass on treating their husband and children like these just because they're the "weaker sex."
Personally I find it outrageous someone like Kate can talk to Jon like that in front of the children no less and still be regarded by so many as a great wife/mother. Try to put Alec Baldwin's face on that body instead of her orange tanned haggard one and watch what happens in the media.
Okay, I read this in a posted article and what I got out of this sentence alone ticked me off: "The best opportunity for all of us would be for me to continue to work in TV as a way to provide for my family,"
The best opportunity of us would be for ME? That does not make much sense. How can you use us and me in the same sentence like that?
Kate please for the love of god and anything that's good quit your whining! You are acting like a 2-yaer-old. "I want, I want." Are you proud the whole freaking US knows you have 8 kids?
Let's see...if anyone is mediocre because they don't have the "career" you had than my brother-in-law, he has 8 kids he works as a teacher, my sister has 7 kids and she works in clerical manager. I have 11 kids and I work as a nurse. Yeah we all sort of have large families. Point being she isn't the only person in the world to have a lot of kids.
We all get by on what we have and you don't see any of us running to a reality TV producer or talk show begging for a job now do you? You must be some piece of work honestly. So your kids won't have the best afforded clothes and toys out there big whoop. You are raising spoiled and entitled children Kate and you should be ashamed of yourself! We need servants, oh yeah, they'll get servants if they work hard. Yeah tell that to every other hard working mother who works a mediocre 9-5 or 12 hour shift they'd love to hear it.
Maybe is Kate spent a day at a mediocre job she might learn a little something about sacrifice, respect, humility and integrity to value what you can afford. But no she's too busy being unemployed and hoping someone will do her the service of keeping her in her lap of luxury she feels so greatly entitled to!

How about "You can't polish a turd."?
I have NEVER in my life wished anyone to fail...But this woman needs to GO and needs to Go and NOW!
While this may be one of the cheesiest shows to grace TV, boy does it speak the truth about "mediocre" jobs:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8bI_SUrNIg&feature=related
The clip starts at the beginning, and ends two minutes later with this quote: "Any job a man can do to make his way in this world is a decent job as long as he works hard at it and does his best. God didn't put sweat in a man's body for no reason. He put it there so he could work hard, cleanse himself and feel proud....Hard working folks only smell bad to some folks who have nothing else to do but stick their noses in the air."
Also shows how upsetting it can be to a child to have their father insulted.
Bite me, Kate!
@Admin, I know you believe that about abuse as do 99 percent of the people on this and many other blogs. I think the people who have posted over the years about how vile this woman is feel the same way. The show got a pass in the early years as a "cute wholesome show that shows the normal interaction between a couple with a large family".
That's as far from the truth as California is from Maine. I didn't grow up like that in a large family and saw nothing but respect between my parents. Granted they had their differences from time to time as most NORMAL people do but they never dissed each other the way Kate did to Jon and as a result, we didn't do that to our siblings.
We weren't kicked out of school in kindergarten for being aggressive and we never hit each other, never. Thankfully, my parents instilled in us a very strong ethic that we are brothers and sisters and to look out for each other. We still do to this day.
The behavior of those children on nearly every show with the hitting, the kicking, the tantrums and all that is on tape for years to come are statements that these kids live what they learn.
We're on the same page regarding abuse. Both men and women are quite capable of being the aggressor. It's never acceptable with either gender and certainly not worth minimizing when one does it not quite as bad as the other. I totally agree with you.
All Kate's "explanation" did was insult people more!
She essentially said that unless she's TV she can't provide for her kids. How insulting to anyone who busts their butt and mediocre jobs to provide for their kids, that's not good enough for Kate. Those kids are not provided for enough, or good enough, up to her standards, is what she's saying.

And she still has fans? Sheeple still adore and swoon over her? There really is no hope for them.
@smileygrl752 I havent' been to her website but read on her twitter that she only has 6 fans. I know nothing about running a website and just a little about twitter but on twitter, you can purchase your followers. I don't know if you can do that on a website but I'm pretty damned certain you can't purchase comments on a website. Her website will be her downfall.
Her fans are limited to a select few and aside from brownlow and a couple of others, most of the tweets are from juveniles.
I suspect the majority of the 2 millian who watched the finale tuned in to make sure she was truly gone. Regarding her trouble with the new website, perhaps this is something Jon could help her out with. She might want to revert to her original suggestion that Jon occupy the house during his weekends with the children. She and Steve could move out for the weekend while Jon spends time with the children and of course attends to her website needs.
She just won't STFU, especially about Jon.

I'll tell you how I take it, Kate. You're a run at the mouth, run of the mill, mediocre fame whore, who simply doesn't know when to shut up. You just can't resist running that mouth of yours. Keep digging that hole, Tempus Fugit, bitch.

Brownlow has set up a blog now. A tweetie named METQQ asked Kate if that was Kate's blog. Kate said no, it was another tweetie's blog.

Very interesting. Brownlow runs several blogs and claims to be an artist. On one of her blogs (http://michellekemperbrownlow.blogspot.com), there is a link to her Etsy store where she sells her artwork. A lot of her artwork looks extremely similar to copyrighted rubber stamps and digital images that I have purchased (I am an avid scrapbooker and crafter.) Sure looks like copyright infringement to me!

If I may, I would like to add, "you can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit - no matter how much mayo you use".
There IS no interaction on her site, not yet anyway. The way the web site trends are going right now is VERY interactive, if your web site doesn't have a heavy component of interacting with other users, be it comments, etc., you probably won't make it.
Everything is all still coming soon on her web site. The suspense is killing me.
You don't do a soft launch of your web site. If you don't hook your readers right there on the first visit, there is a high chance they will never come back again. Much like a restaurant, you can't give them half-baked cooking and expect people to ever come back again.
Is she talking about the big blue bus and sharing that with Jon.....???
UMMMM, last I checked they bought the big blue bus during marriage. Newsflash Kate, it belongs to BOTH of you, 50-50, fair is fair, asset in marriage you both acquired, why does she think it's now hers??? It's just as much his as hers. She may have gotten it in the divorce but she would have had to make it up to Jon somehow, such as buying his half of it. And why WOULDN'T she share it with anyone who wants to take the kids out all at once. Why would she be so immature for it to even cross her mind to deny someone taking the kids out the use of that?
And if her child support is so damn fair then why is that what the judge ordered???? I thought PA judges were just and right giving her custody why wouldn't they be just and right in her child support? I get it, the judge is only right when she wants him to be right. Whhhhhatever.
I guess Kate forgets that there are many of us who have been through a divorce, know people who have been through a divorce, or work in divorce law who know exactly how these things work and can't be fooled by this garbage.
Also Kate, you don't pay for your kids. Your kids pay for themselves and Jon helps too. End of story.

This doesn't make sense to me. If Kate is supposedly paying for almost all the kids' expenses (as she claims), then what does she do with Jon's child support payments?
I'm sorry I wasn't clear. MiloandJack referred to the big blue bus and Kate couldn't resist lying so she could take another jab at Jon.
First of all, Kate is OBSESSED with Jon. Obsessed. Like needs serious therapy obsessed. She has been going on and on and on and on about a guy she left over two years ago. Who does that unless you prefer to cook bunny rabbits alive? Get a boyfriend already and shut up!!!
Second of all, you have to keep in mind this is Kate. Kate blows more money on these kids than most people would spend on one child in a lifetime.
So while Jon may pay a substantial amount any mother would be very grateful to have to help out, it's never going to be enough. Of course she may be paying the bulk if it if she wants them in the best school the best house the best trips....those are HER choices and hers alone. She can choose to downsize, she refuses.
And really, discussing a child support payment endlessly with anyone other than Jon, attorneys and the judge, is so outrageously inappropriate and has gotten better parents sanctioned.
Hey Kate? We all know you read here. If Jon's payment is oh so very unfair.....why haven't you gone back to the judge to get it changed????? Surely if you're oh so right, the judge will agree with you!
Crickets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**********************************************
Thanks TLC ship, I didn't see that tweet. MiloandJack is a freakin' nut.
It angers me to the core this constant parental alienation, she is out of control.
What does Kate want, for Jon to get his own big blue bus? That would drain him financially and how would he pay his child support?! How would that help Kate???? That makes NO SENSE. Why would he do this? Is she a total idiot when it comes to the dollar bill?
Doesn't it make a heck of a lot more sense they keep one big blue bus and share it??? This is very simple to make it fair! Just have a reasonable maintenance fee/insurance/upkeep/gas for it added into the child support payment every month. They can share the cost of it and it can be made to be fair. Jon can also be required to fill it up after every visit if Kate fills it up before each visit, which is more than fair.
Plus Kate, Jon didn't get three speeding tickets which made the big blue bus insurance skyrocket. That's YOUR problem and YOURS to deal with, Jeff Gordon.
Kate is obsessed with Jon and is so pissed off that her Diva attitude didn't translate into better press. On the other hand, Jon's been out of the public eye for nearly two years and aside from the two or three interviews this past month, nobody knows what he's doing.
Kate is going nuclear right now after her verbal slight on national TV with the mediocre comment. She's trying to unring the bell but we all heard it and it sounded like "WRONG".
My guess is that, because of the special circumstances of having such a large number of children, the judge pretty much said that whoever had visitation got the big blue bus. That would make sense, rather than have Jon have to go out and buy a 9 passenger vehicle just so he could pick up his kids for the weekend. Kate's not being generous, she most likely has no choice. But of course she can't admit to that.
Another thing, DH's ex, to this day, swears she paid for everything for their kids--everything! And she did, technically. She wrote the checks. That the money came from him didn't seem to figure into her logic (or lack thereof) I'm not sure where Kate is trying to go with this one, but she certainly must think most people are idiots.
OH good grief. And another thing, Jon wasn't BRAGGING.
He was responding to Kate claiming he only pays for their lunches!!! Excuse me but he had every right to say wait just a second that's not true. For pity sake. If Kate doesn't want to hear him bitch about child support, don't BAIT HIM!
The #1 reason I don't want Kate on TV? I don't think she deserves a platform to spew more lies. She uses TV as a way to spread her crap and I cannot stand it.
I am so sick of hearing her say teeeveeeeee non stop. Being on a reality show does not make you experienced in the media. Her own interviews and stints on The View show she does not have what it takes. She is beyond delusional. Guess what Kate..not all tv shows will pay for your home, vacations, clothes, utilities ect. Most tv show employees and hosts ect actually work! Long hard hours. More than nursing even! TV is not a camera just following you around paying for your every desire. So enjoy trying to host a show. You will be away from your kids more than you claim nursing will take you away and you will have to move. Not many teeeveeeee shows in PA. So stop lying about not wanting the kids to change schools and lose their house. You would do it in a second if a TV show offered you a job. ON the plus side you inability to do anything will have you quickly cancelled.
Kate's real dream is another reality show that rides on the backs of her kids. She doesn't want to work her fingers to the bone. She wants to be a lazy slug and get paid for it while claiming "its all for the kids" - you know, the same kids who cannot take gymnastics because they didn't earn enough money for themselves. Mommy First!!!
I really hope the media ignores her and her shameful begging to be handed a job. Try getting some training and then try to EARN a job
EM
Also have you noticed how obsessed Kate is with money? How could you not. All she talks about with Jon is his child support payment.
She never once talks about the benefits of having a father in their life, what he brings to the table for the kids emotionally, things you can't put a price on. No, it's always about him giving her X amount of dollars every month and how it's not enough. She has to put a dollar figure on him and a dollar figure on the kids and what they are worth because money is the only way she can perceive her world. It is, indeed, very sick and sad and downright pathetic.

Hey, we all have to have goals right? Anyway, tomorrow during my travels, I hope Kate gets an offer from an apartment complex in her area where she's standing on a corner, at a red light flipping an arrow sign that says 1 MONTH FREE and getting all the attention she deserves.
HELL, I'd even film it if she wants the camera lense to focus on her. This would be priceless. All kidding aside, if you ever google the name "Pamela Smart" read the story and see the parallel between Kate and Pamela Smart. Very telling, very scary.

Absolutely I'm sure that's what happened. Any divorce attorney who did not address the issue of transportation for eight kids on visits is practically committing malpractice. There is no reason this issue wouldn't have been brought up, and clarified and re-clarified so everyone is crystal clear how it will work.
I'm guessing what is easiest and what was probably done is to give the BBB to Kate, have her buy out Jon's HALF, work it into his child support payment the maintenance of the vehicle. Which probably makes stupid Kate feel like she's not "seeing" any money to maintain the BBB since it's buried in a lump sum child support payment. And thus she can lie and say she's doing him some big favor when really this was all worked out so it was fair in court.
Does anyone else believe for a second Kate would let him touch a thing of hers unless the court makes her? LOL.
Does he have to divide his support into little envelopes labeled "school" and "gas" and "food" and "BBB" and "toys" so Kate feels like he's not just paying for lunches?
She also can't grasp the irony that as of 10 p.m. last night, Kate is the only family member who is NOT supporting the kids. Where is HER support, what is SHE bringing to the table???
It wouldn't matter how much child support Jon paid it would never be enough for her, when he was paying 22K a month from his share of the house she never gave him credit for that either. Ex-wife from hell.
I wonder if Kate has ever read this passage.
1 Peter 3:3-4: Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.
Two years ago this month I started this blog to chronicle the divorce.
I never imagined in my wildest dreams two years from now Kate would STILL be bitching about things like child support and we'd still be blogging about it.
I knew it would be a divorce from hell but I never expected this, she is the ex-wife from hell of the century. Poor Jon.

I'm thinking this web site was just a last minute idea and Kate hired the first company that came up on Google to do it for her and now they've screwed it up.
I'm also thinking I sure hope she got TLC's permission to do this, because they may very well claim they own a trademark in any variation of "Plus eight."

She can't shut up, can she? No matter what, she just can't help herself! She started out fine, saying she didn't want to get into it, let it be, etc., but just HAD to throw in that she pays for nearly all expenses kid related.
She's addicted to bashing him, no matter how on-the-sly it is, or if it's an outright declaration. Not only is she obsessed with him (after two years), but she's chronically addicted to slamming him whenever given the chance.

Lol. I am 51. Your age?
I just read an interesting article. (Sorry if it has been posted already, I'm trying to keep up with all the comments here!)
Khate has no clue how fortunate she is that the kids were all born healthy AND that TLC came along. She has been given so, so much and all she does is bitch, moan, and cry poor.
How parents of multiples tackle financial challenges
@Beth said Lol. I am 51. Your age?
I am 54 but feel like I'm 25 unless there are beans, crab meat, high waters and IRS Audits. Otherwise, life is good and as my grandmother insisted during church, "just make them little sneakers". Sneakers hell, at my age the only sneakers are the people behind me running out of church and looking for a power wash and a debriefing. It's all good.
Irony about the website as I see it is that the ex-husband is actually the person with the technical skills/smarts to run it for her. That makes me laugh.
re: Jon. Too bad she just can't take the same approach she uses with her entire estranged family which would be to STFU. Sayonara Kate.
Kelly, thanks for the link to the Audi TT recall page.
The next page on the link was a list of 2010 Audi TTs for sale. Most are in the mid-to-high $30,000 range, a few in the low $40,000's. So I am assuming Kate probably paid around $35,000.
The mileage on most of these cars is quite low.
I wonder if the owners heard about the recall and traded in early? Or else (Kate, are you listening???) bought it, discovered they had a
financial downturn, and traded it in for a more
reasonable car purchase.
I would like to hear more from Jamie,i actually thought she was right on the mark with her comments about Kate,I liked her, does anyone know if she is on twitter?

If Kate is in such need of money, ah, what the hell, I'll chip in the 97 cents I found at the bottom of my purse towards Kate's much needed therapy. It'll still be money she can spend on herself and unlike that cereal it won't expire. Anybody else want to chip in a hire amount? Because ya know, per Kate I must be mediocre as a nurse that's all the money I can spare right now.
Also shows how upsetting it can be to a child to have their father insulted.
-----------
Just ask William and Harry Wales. Another sad, painful thing for the kids is that having their MOM bashed hurts too. Even if they are often thinking the same things as the basher.
Which is why Jon needs to cease and desist. Just because what he's saying is true doesn't mean it needs to be said. In the end it hurts his kids more than Kate.
Admin. and everyone,
I gave myself a time-out after that testy post of mine.I meant what I said, but not in that holier than thou, my shit doesn't stink kinda way.I was having a night, should have just gone to bed!
Next time, I'll put my brain in gear,before opening my mouth, sorry.Thanks for the kind words, even after that post;I won't name you, you know who you are ......
@fidosmommy No problem. The Audi is nothing more than a glorified VW. Same cars. Kate's TT is about 10,000 dollars more than a Jetta but it's the same car. Actually the TT is really an ugly design and although the media is saying she bought an Audi Convertible, that isn't true. She has a hatchback that is thousands less than the convertible.
Kate's TT is the 2 door model of an Audi A4 which isn't manufactured but her car is just a renamed version. Audi is to VW as Acura is to Honda and Lexus is to Toyota. High line names with the same factory assembly line.
Same thing with American made cars. Escalade is nothing but a Chevy Tahoo and those Lincoln Town Cars Kate loves to be photgraphed in are nothing but the Ford Crown Victoria much like NY taxis.
Hoping Kate enjoys her TT as most college kids are enjoying their Jettas. Same car, two less doors and thousands less. Oh well.
This is the worst case of parental alienation I have ever seen, yes. Mostly due to the length.
The parental alienators I've seen get STOPPED before this goes on two years. And by stopped I mean, lose their kids to the other parent. Sometimes I really love CA's legal system.
Regarding the kids' expenses, it's probably technically true that Kate is paying the majority of them, but it's a matter of context: she chooses to send them to an expensive private school, she chooses to dress them in matching brand new expensive clothes, she chooses for them to live in a much larger house than they need, she chooses to feed them expensive organic groceries.
If she were living a more realistic lifestyle, Jon's share would be more proportionate. Unfortunately, it's still probably true that Kate would be responsible for more of their expenses than Jon. My child support for 2 is only $745/mo and my monthly expenses are around $3700/mo. I'll spare the details but that's how much they are even after cutting everything except cable/Internet and having no credit card debt.
I remember the pain in William's eyes when he decided to hold a press conference to address the tell-all one of Diane's employees wrote. I thought he was so mature and grown up as he talked about his mother being betrayed.
I guess he didn't give a darn that a 19 year old young man was still grieving his mother.
Now she is calling Jamie a liar - denying the Angelina Jolie comment ever happened.
By the way it was widely reported it was William's idea to hold the press conference. He wanted to face the press head on to send the message out STFU about my mother, what right did you have to betray her confidence? How could you do this to me?
Honestly I think there would have been a lot more tell alls if hadn't done that. He really spoke to people, it made people think twice.
England has so much to look forward to over the next several decades with him in line for the throne.
Breaking news. Even Jamie is a liar now! Everyone in Kate's life is a liar except Kate, astounding.
"I no Jamie &she meant no harm- but she has nvr said that2me before-even friends don't always understand!&then there was editing"
Editing? How exactly was Jamie's comment "edited in" to make her say it? Is Kate saying they're doing voice dubbing now??
She really is...off....her ....rocker.

No, the KIDS are paying the majority of them. Kate is paying zip.
What exactly doesn't Jamie understand about Kate?
It's Jamie's opinion, she acts like she's Angelina Jolie. There's nothing to understand or edit about that, it's HER OPINION.
I think Kate is a bitch and it has nothing to do with being a liar or not understanding--it's my opinion based on the evidence.
As this is Jamie's opinion she's an Angie wannabe, based on the evidence.
If this is so offensive to Kate why is Jamie still her friend?
Yes, a $5,000 a month child support payment could even seem like pennies if you're creating a lifestyle for your children like Saudi Arabian royalty.
It's all relative.

I like Jamie, too. I think she'd be fun to have as a friend. I just don't understand what she sees friend-wise in Kate. Kate doesn't give back. It's a one-sided friendship...what can you do for me.
You know darn well if anything bad happened to Jamie, Kate couldn't be bothered. She'd say, "Call me when you get better so you can come help me."
I just finished watching The Runaways, the movie about the band that launched Joan Jett's career and paved the way for future rocker girl bands. Toward the end, Cherie Currie was coming undone and there was a scene in the grocery store. She was dressed in sequins and tight clothes and HUGE heels and gobs of makeup. They showed her heels and she was twisting her ankles all over the place. I thought, "OMG! That looks like the pics of Kate that we see!" And I suddenly felt very sad for her. I don't like her, I don't like what she does, but how sad is it that someone was given opportunities that 99% of the population will never have, simply because she birthed a bunch of kids, and she has lost it all, and it's her own doing. She had a husband who loved her and adored their children and was very hands on with them and put up with a LOT from her. They had a nice home. Their kids are healthy and delightful. They had people who loved them and wanted to help them. And because of her narcissism and inability to see anything wrong with herself and change it (or acknowledge she has changed for the worse), most of that is gone. Sure, she has material things, but those are fleeting. She still has healthy children, but they will have issues x8. She is reviled, she has no partner, she has very few friends, she has no family, she has nothing that matters to everyone who values what is truly important in life. And that is so sad. It didn't have to be like this.
Hey, Hey Jude - glad to see you back!
The only thing Kate has in common with Angelina Jolie, is that they both pursued a relationship with someone else's husband!
Kate, what were you saying- "I'm in charge and it's never going to change? ha, ha ,ha, oops - you got that all wrong too! Bye bye now! ...........
I take it back. I don't feel sorry for her anymore, after seeing the tweet above about how Jamie has never said to her that she's no Angelina Jolie. She lies without thinking. WHY would Jamie say that on camera? Sure, there was editing involved as they lovingly guided the camera over false eyelashes, scads of makeup, etc. But I don't believe for a second that Kate has never heard Jamie say that. Jamie is a straight shooter. Kate's been caught in so many lies, it ain't funny. She will betray ANYONE to make herself look better - but she looks worse. Stupid woman. Those poor kids.
Hi, bearswife! Thanks, nice to be back. How are you and the old polar bear doing?

Sitting in her big, blue van down by the river, yelling into her dead 5th pink e-phone- "HellOOOOOOOOO! -God, is that you? Stop playing God and come out here! Jon says you're the only one who knows how to help me!"
WOW, Kate is reverting to Octomom. Actually she is the original Octomom. So she compares herself to Angelina Jolie, wow, your warped sense of worth know no bounds. You can't even compare to a lose thread on Angelina's raggedy old jeans. When Jolie goes out to do charity work, the woman has the brains and the power to make that charity sustain itself. Jolie works really hard to prepare herself for roles, she doesn't stand there and bitch.
Go back to school and go learn a new trade since you can't show empathy for anyone other than yourself. How about a traffic cop, you can bitch at people for their violations and give them tickets and your kids will get health care insurance. You only wish you were mediocre, you stupid bitch, because nobody will hire you to even spray perfume on people with your nasty attitude, go ask Spencer Pratt.

@@@@@@@
Kate has never perfected the art of lying. A really good liar will remember the lie, be able to keep track of what was said, and continue the lie convincingly. Kate's not that smart, and so she gets caught.
One of these days she actually will tell the truth about something, but because historically she has done nothing but lie, nobody is going to believe her.
I sometimes wonder if she believes her own lies, and really doesn't know that she is lying.
From a website on psychopathic disorder:
"Lying, deceiving, and manipulation are natural talents for psychopaths...When caught in a lie or challenged with the truth, they are seldom perplexed or embarrassed -- they simply change their stories or attempt to rework the facts so that they appear to be consistent with the lie. The results are a series of contradictory statements and a thoroughly confused listener."
What is very disturbing about psychopaths, besides their sense of special entitlement, is the complete lack of empathy for normal people, for "antisocials (psychopaths) seem to lack a conscience, feeling little or no empathy for the people whose lives they touch...the antisocial effortlessly resists all regulation, unable to see beyond his self-interest or to adopt standards of right versus wrong."

I hope anywhere but in Pennsylvania, since she has such a disliking for the state and our boring farms...
Warmth of The Sun....sounds like a description of Casey Anthony as well as Khate.
Sam said... WOW, Kate is reverting to Octomom. Actually she is the original Octomom. So she compares herself to Angelina Jolie, wow, your warped sense of worth know no bounds. You can't even compare to a lose thread on Angelina's raggedy old jeans. When Jolie goes out to do charity work, the woman has the brains and the power to make that charity sustain itself. Jolie works really hard to prepare herself for roles, she doesn't stand there and bitch.
************************************************
Jamie said that, in her opinion, Kate tries to act like Angelina Jolie (be a "stah", get really thin, etc.) I don't think Kate compares herself to AJ. She probably thinks she's more of a "stah" than AJ. We all know Kate is a walking talking bag of really stupid delusions.

@conniesellecca OHMYWORD! I am so honored to have you as a follower! Would love to chat sometime! DM me! :)
Look out, Connie Sellecca! If she offers to pick up 21 boxes of expired cereal for you, un-follow her and run for your life!
I wonder if Brownie is moving on to other celebrities now that Kate isn't exactly enamored with her.
Let's celebrate getting the kids off TV...more time for daddy now (hopefully)

Audible Click, you're right. Jamie said that she told Kate she's no Angelina, but now Kate is denying Jamie ever told her that. How does Jamie stand it? I wonder if she calls her on it and says, "Why do you talk about me like that? You know I said it! I say it all the time!" But then Kate would just deny that she ever said Jamie didn't say it, even though the tweet is out in cyberspace for perpetuity.
I had a friend like that - for 10 YEARS she went around telling everyone I talked to in her presence that SHE was the best friend. You would think that I would be the one to decide that. It was all her, all the time. She was ALWAYS very late. We ate at the crap restaurants she liked, while she made digs about my weight (she's obese, I'm small). We'd shop, we'd spend all the time in the big lady shops (where I could poke around the necklace department), and then she'd tell me her husband said we couldn't hang out because he said she spent all his money with me. I said, "How does that work? I don't spend a dime." Every single thing she did was passive aggressive, just like Kate. VERY long story short, a friend's husband died and she had not reached out to this person in all the months her husband was dying. When he did, she called this woman and said they HAD to hash things out, right then. She got blown off. Prior to that, I had given her an ultimatum - the ball was in her court - and I never heard from her again. What a relief. Then at the funeral, which she had the audacity to attend, she came running to the bathroom, right behind me, sobbing.....and I just walked out without acknowledging her. (Met her hubby on the way out and he obviously had no idea we were no longer speaking.) No damn way was she making that woman's funeral about HER. I predict this is how it'll end with Jamie, just as it did with Beth. People just walk away and say 'all done, no more.'
Thanks Theresa! I was doing Collin's happy dance last night - I wish they would have showed him doing that at the end of the show!
I was just reading the tweets up top.Kate said 'we had fun, you just didn't see it.' I guess we're all blind now, too.
BTW, Kate, since you said there are no retakes in your realest of shows, I guess Jamie did say the comment about you and Angelina!
bearswife, it's 1 degree on my thermometer! Guess I better go and cover my mediocre plants and flowers. arrrggghhhh! it's gonna freeze to-nite.
Admin. you did a wonderful job on this re-cap, photos and music. The kids look so happy with Jon and there are no pics of Kate with the kids like that, hmmmmmm......
Teresa, sorry, I keep putting an h in your name, I have a friend with that spelling.
I am going to have to tell Kate to stop using my sayings. She really must read here , cause she said something I've used several times in my posts' having a soft place to fall.'
I own that saying and she's gonna have to pay me if she uses it. She probably won't ever use it again, just another lie to her. She has said and done things that have been talked about here on this blog ,though, it's so funny!!
I could have done a montage of the children's body language around Kate if I wanted to be really vindictive. Which would include this:
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2gFjVIBTauc/S1zB_kIQEkI/AAAAAAAAAL8/tMz-SNniGXk/s400/Kate-Gosselin-Caught-Smacking-Child-in-the-Face-2.jpg
this: http://www.intouchweekly.com/content/2009/06/KateGosselin0617.jpg
and this: http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/8090/normalpk011.jpg
It's been said before hundreds of times here but something is very off about her body language with them. They don't melt into her like they do Jon. When she kisses or hugs them there's resistance from them. One of the best examples of this was when she talked to Collin at the corn maze when he was behaving well. He was PULLING away from her uncomfortable to be confronted so close.
This happened when you never know whether mommy is pulling you toward her for a hug........or a smack.
Anyway, we don't need photos, we have 150 episodes proving how she treats these poor kids.
Administrator said... I'm thinking this web site was just a last minute idea and Kate hired the first company that came up on Google to do it for her and now they've screwed it up.
I'm also thinking I sure hope she got TLC's permission to do this, because they may very well claim they own a trademark in any variation of "Plus eight."
_______________________________________________
I'm behind on comments, I apologize if someone already mentioned this. When J&K hooked up with Julie May and started canceling all the low-paying speaking engagements, their old website o'grift also got a makeover. The begging and pleading was replaced with an extremely spiritual site. There was a bunch of "coming soon" stuff on there that was never completed. Kate was going to post a different, favorite bible passage every day. Never happened.
I also think this website is yet another way for Kate to give BM the finger. Kate has made it crystal clear she is thoroughly annoyed with BM and her fansite. Sad that BMs lips are still firmly planted on Kate's flat arse.
Administrator said... Also have you noticed how obsessed Kate is with money? How could you not. All she talks about with Jon is his child support payment.
She never once talks about the benefits of having a father in their life, what he brings to the table for the kids emotionally, things you can't put a price on.
______________________________________________
Her viceral hate spewing at Jon comes from her inability (by law) to dispose of Jon like she has with everyone else who crossed her. She's done with him. He gave his "contribution" and now she would like him to go away, and have no contact with the children so she can call the shots. It appears to be literally driving her insane that she does not have total control of the children and she must abide by silly court orders and such. Family law is for mediocre people, not for a stah like her who needs to pimp those kids now and keep momster in her Audi and mansion. I said it before but I'll say it again... my mouth is still hanging open from hearing that she said on national TV that she doesn't understand why Jon has any say in the kids lives. That comment is disturbing on so many levels, I don't know where to begin. She is obsessed with money and fame and it appears Jon is throwing a wrench into her evil plans. If I were him, I would always be looking over my shoulder. I think there's very few boundaries she would hesitate to cross.
I'm now off to my mediocre bed so I can go to my mediocre job tomorrow. Good mediocre night all ;)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not a problem Jhude....lmao you can call me anything you like, just don't leave again k?
Oh gawd....she really hates those kids doesn't she. What terror and pain she must have put them through all their lives. From plain old apathy to physical abuse. Those kids never know how to walk, stand, look, speak, laugh, play eat in case mommydearest gets pissed. What a fucking way to live. Those kids haven't begun to live yet, they are just existing. The sooner they get away from this monster/nightmare the sooner Jon can get them serious psychological help. I hope they can recover from that C**T
I've been reading responses on Facebook, and they are mostly negative. In response to the mediocre comment on the Today show and Kate needing a new job, one said "Where is the damn boo hoo dislike button?"
Posters are suggesting Kate take time off and get therapy. From what I understand, narcissists don't seek therapy because they think they're always right. I wish the best of luck to the kids and Jon. Kate just seems to be a hopeless case beyond help.
I saw comments about the amount of child support. My sister recently got divorced in PA. The state has an online calculator. You put in the parents incomes and number of children. But also alimony, child care expenses, health care premiums and some other stuff. Then it its out an amount. It's not a straight percentage like someone said.
Even efter that is done, you have to go before the judge to have it approved. If he thinks it's unreasonable he can change it.
My sister earns more than her ex so he doesn't pay much. Kate's W2 for the year would show substantial income I would think and I don't know if she could make Jon pay more this calendar year.

Dangit. Just lost a post when my puppy hit the back button on my keyboard. Now I've lost my mojo and a bit of my ire so I'll just cover a couple points.
re editing: So for 147 episodes there was no editing and then right before the RV episode TLC magically found the editing button and was SO excited about their new toy that they spent the last 3 episodes doing nothing BUT editing? That about right Kate?
re the webpage: Aside from making about every mistake even the newbiest of noob webmasters would not make it's great!
I can't wait to see what happens with all the spoof ones that are going to appear. I almost wish I had thought of it myself. It's genius really.
Get the website, pull in her RSS feed and twitter feed to essentially mirror her site and there is nothing she can do about it. It's all perfectly legal. You won't make much of anything off of it (most likely), but you will siphon off some of her traffic and most importantly you will drive her crazy.
Done right the spoof site could be done so much better than her official site and actually make some money, now that I think about it.
Wouldn't that be a kick in the pants.
Jeanne, that's my understanding of how child support works in PA and it's right on the money for how a lot of states do it. Most of them boil down to some kind of computer calculator that tells you a number, then you take it to the judge.
PA's system sounds similar to the Dissomaster computer program which is basically a logarithm that asks you a bunch of questions then tell you what to pay. It's going to spit out the same number every time if two people have identical circumstances, it doesn't care who you are. Same thing, you can go to the judge if you think Dissomaster's number isn't fair. Mostly it's your income vs. how much time you spend with the kids. The more time you spend the less you pay--with Jon spending nearly every weekend now with the kids that might have lowered his number (which is only fair, Kate!) which might explain her latest propaganda campaign that Jon couldn't keep a kitten alive with this kind of money.
The bottom line is that someone in Jon's shoes is probably paying a similar amount, and if Kate doesn't think it's fair, by all means go cry to the judge and get him to change it.
Dollars to donuts she HAS gone, and the judge has told her forget it lady this is plenty of money to give your kids a wonderful life. Explains Jon's you win some you lose some comment.
Ok, Theresah, I promise not to leave again, ha ha ha....
Those poor kids are surprised and confused when Kate says something or touches them , because that's not how she likely is off camera. They are all uneasy around her, trying to figure her out, so they don't get in trouble. They want to say and do exactly the right thing.
She probably lets the nanny do most of their care and likely spends little time with them, except when filming.They look at each other for cues and to the other adults, like Steve, Jamie & Ashley as to how to act, too.
They behave better for Ashley when Kate isn't around as they probably do with Jon. Kate states her rules on camera, but I wonder if/how she follows through when the camera is off? I wonder who is around when they did those couch interviews, cause they sure acted childish and coached then.
Well, Kate have you got your phone charged? I'm sure those mediocre tv and movie producers will be calling and calling this week!
Hey Jude, that's the ticket, it's you being you and we can't stand the void if ya left. See?! Have to buy you a blow-up of Khate, then you can whack the shit out of it when you get pissed, or just feeling a little down.
=======>> Off to Ebay to buy you one!
(Kate) told E! News this week, "My kids have benefited so greatly, that I shudder to think what our lives would be, scraping to get by and struggling to exist, and having that guilt of eight kids that I can't afford, can't provide for, and who probably never would have left our state."

Kate, when you and Jon finally agreed to pursue another round of IUI, you sat down with your doctor after the second cycle and he said there were 3-4 follicles. By your own words, while he said it was unlikely that more than 1 or at most 2 follicles would fertilize, he was concerned about your decision to refuse selective reduction and suggested that you skip this cycle and only proceed when you had a cycle that showed 1-2 follices.
You and Jon decided that you would "never regret having more children" and went forward.
Did at any time you two sit down and really look at your financial situation and whether you could afford twins, triplets or quadruplets (which was the highest number or fetuses you figured you'd conceive)?
I'm sorry, but this has always left a bad taste in my mouth. It is because of people like you that I can't help thinking sometimes that people should be required to have a license before they can conceive children.
Like many things in your life, Kate, you just plain didn't think about anything other than Katie's need for instant gratification and getting what she wanted when she wanted it. New furniture? Sure. New baby? Of course! Never mind that at the outset, Dad wasn't really all that keen. Why? Because he apparently is a long term thinker and understood that having more children would impact your lives, emotionally and financially. He considered what it might mean for Mady and Cara to have their parents attention divided by a new child in the family.
But Jon loved you so much he was willing to put your desire for "just one more" baby (notice I said baby, not child) ahead of his own concerns and move forward, knowing that he would love any child you both brought into this world and would do his best to provide.
To now say that if it weren't for TLC, you'd be mired in the guilt of having children you couldn't afford just sticks in my craw. Do I fault you for carrying all the sextuplets. Of course not. I would not be able to selectively reduce either. However, I also never put myself or my husband in a position where we would have to make that choice.
I fault you, Kate (and Jon as well - he share culpability) in not thinking about how you were going to provide for a new child, be it one or six or seven, when allegedly you were relying on Jon's father to help pay your bills, when your husband had sporadic employment (Not a diss on Jon - this is a typical issue for most people in the tech industry. Don't believe me? Come out and ask any tech worker in the Silicon Valley, where the average time spent in any one job is about 2 years.), and you seemed resentful of having to work anyway, and when you already had two children to support
Kate,
I just wanted to tell you that you are more mediocre than any of us. You can't even keep your show on tv, cause you sucked so bad at playing yourself, that you were cancelled!
What does that say about your acting ability? We only watched to see the kids and then didn't watch, because you were unwatchable with your lies, nasty behaviour to your kids, Jon and all your family.
Go get some psychological help, you desperately need it. Don't hold your breath waiting for Mr. TV man to call, it's not gonna happen.Oh, btw, you can go back, Jon did. You just don't want to!
Now, nobody wants you and you had every chance in the world to have a career and blew it with your nasty air of entitlement and lies. God gave you 8 healthy kids, go and be a Mother to them.You have enough money socked away or go to Hollywood and let Jon raise the kids.
Teresa, oooohh, I can't wait for it to arrive! Good idea for therapy! ha ha.I bet you could get them 2 for 1 now! Hurry up before the tweeties get them all...
About Kate's "mediocre" comment going nuclear--I just googled "Kate Gosselin" + "Mediocre" and got 260,000 hits!
For example:
"Farewell Foul!"
"Kate explains her 'mediocre' diss after backlash"
"Kate Gosselin Calls Your Parenting Mediocre"
"Kate Gosselin Says 'Sorry' to All you Mediocre Folk"
"Kate Gosselin: Day Jobs Are 'Mediocre'"
"Kate Gosselin Believes Money Makes You a Good Parent"
"Kate Gosselin Thinks Your Life is Mediocre"
It IS true that some of those hits are about Kate Gosselin dropping "big bucks on a mediocre haircut". LOL, can't make that stuff up!
What started as a dig at Jon has boomeranged back on her and will follow her around the rest of her life. Was the interview live?
Pen Mom:
The interview was live and I totally thought "Oh no she didn't!" when she said the mediocre comment. She ticked off so many people and even then she couldn't apologize for it, instead she tried to explain it away.
I have a feeling most of her apologies are like that anyway - always an excuse.
What really amazes me is that all the sheeple keep saying that Jamie and Ashley were wrong to speak about Kate in front of the kids.
Yet it was okay how Kate spoke to Jon in front of the kids. The finale clips showed that there were many times she did this.
So in sheeple logic(oxymoron) it's okay that Kate talks about Jon in front of the kids, yells at Jon in front of the kids, but nobody should ever talk about Kate in front of the kids.
What Kate fails to see is that SHE wasn't the reason people watched the show-it was the kids. Without the kids, she is a nobody.
As much as Angelina Jolie irks me...Kate is no Angie! How much charity work has Angie done? How many donations has Angie done? How much of a good mother is Angie?
I get Jamie's comparison about Kate aspiring to be 'like' Angelina Jolie, but Kate couldn't touch her with a 100 foot pole. Kate can't touch Kim Kardashian with a TEN foot pole. At least the Kardashian's have a work ethic, as annoying as they are.

If this posts twice I apologize. It didn't appear the first time.

That would explain why Kate fights Jon seeing the kids more than their scheduled visitation.

YES YES YES!!! I so agree with this statement I actually said yes so loud, my damn drunk neighbor looked at me across the road. Yep, it's 7:50 a.m. & he's already out there guzzling beers.
I think people should fill out paperwork & have a psych review & be made to answer a ton of questions: Think "The Game" starring Michael Douglas, before having kids. I have thought this for a long time. There are just some really irresponsible people out there. Not everyone, but some.
(Oh, & I don't live in a crappy neighborhood, it's just that 1 harmless drunk, ya know? He'll be going in around 2, well, stumbling in. Most likely to nap I assume)

____________
"Kate plus 8" said goodbye to TV on Monday night but if you think famous mom, Kate Gosselin, has made enough money from her reality show fame to retire, think again.
“[Money] was the first thing that came to mind, Gosselin tells me about her thought process when she found out her show was being cancelled. I read what we apparently make and it's hysterical. That would be a dream come true times two million. So it's certainly way less than people think. We are not set for life. You know I need to work as soon as possible -- as in yesterday. But this is all new territory for Gosselin; she insists she has never been unemployed before. I was babysitting before I was 15. I have never not had a job other than when I was on bed rest, Gosselin tells me. When [the children] were 15 months I was back at work. I have always worked and I am a worker. And I love to work. I love to put my brain toward a project and creating so this is really hard. Although she knows that every show eventually comes to an end, Gosselin admits that she would love to have finished one more season but understands TLC's decision and insist she’s not angry for being let got. I like to finish things until they are done but they make their decisions for their reasons and I will move onto bigger and better things, she reveals. I have a lot of stuff I could be bitter about but I don’t waste time. Just to clarify, in life I have a lot of things to be angry about. I mean in general I could spend my time being angry at things that happen to me in life. But instead Kate is focusing on what she will do next to pay her bills -- times eight!
____________________
Again, please don't go to his website. Rob Shuter keeps writing and writing about Kate & Jon.
her claim to fame is having six at a time, on top of the twins. well, guess what, honey, six the same age and two the same age would be a hell of a lot easier than dealing with 8 all different ages with different needs, wants, capabilities, etc. And on top of it, YOU have NEVER been the sole person dealing with them, you have had help (helperS). Get over it, realize you had a 'fun fling' and NOW it's DONE! With the age of the kids now, you would be able to support them decently on a nurse and Jon's salary. And guess what, YOUR kids don't DESERVE any more than to live 'decently' any more than anyone elses kids. And YOU don't even deserve to live decently UNLESS you EARN IT!
What does she have to be angry about?!! She has eight beautiful, healthy children. She has been given opportunities she would not have had without those children. Just for once, I would like to see her express some gratitude.

"We are not set for life." Maybe you should have thought of that before you bought a $1.3 million home on 20+ acres while, by your own admission on Monday, your marriage was "unraveling". Most people with marriages on the brink of divorce wouldn't take on that kind of financial burden.
Maybe you should have thought of that before you signed eight kids up for one of the most expensive private schools in the region.
She really was stupid enough to think this easy money was an endless pit and now expects sympathy from hardworking "mediocre" parents. I just can't wrap my mind around the stupidity of people that have sympathy for her sob story.
Admin,
Totally off topic, but I love what you did with Jon's picture with the two girs. I can't tell if it's a sketch or oil painting look, but I remember one you did with Kate on the boat. It flattered her, which bugged me:)
Could you tell me what program you used? I'm just in love with that look.
Thanks.

Can you imagine if such things existed? Of course the sheep would want to snap them all up! Poor Paige would probably sleep with hers and Brownie could prop hers up at the breakfast table with a bowl of organic cereal in front of it!
But the best would be to buy a whack of them and place them in the front yard of a 'jellus hater'! Can you imagine opening your blinds and seeing 40 plastic kHates in your yard? Oh the horror!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As for child support - what pains me the most is imagining what she must say to the kids. Some of my worst memories growing up were the times my mother made me call my dad re. child support payments. I hated being put in the middle of a grown up situation and even as a small child I knew she was wrong.
My mother pulled a lot of stunts like that one, constantly pitting me against my father. 'Stunts' is too mild of a word considering her favorite threat was that she would kill herself if I went to live with my father (which my older brother had already done). I hate to think kHate is probably sending those same messages.
Many years of therapy have helped me and I am sure the 8 will follow suit. My dad was strong and constant - just as I imagine theirs is - and that will be a big blessing for them!

____________________
Wow! If she's not "bitter" or "angry" ... I'd hate to hear her spew her crap if she was!
And I'd like to know just exactly what she has to be bitter and angry about?! She has 8 healthy children. She's been given opportunities not afforded to 99% of the population. She has a roof over her head.
This is why Kate SHOULD NEVER be given a public speaking opportunity ever again. She lets her motor-boat mouth get her into things that her row-boat ass can't get her out of.
@MiloandJack ... U just never know! (wink wink!) about 11 hours ago

I looked back to see why she tweeted this and it looks like it's a response to someone hoping she gets a high paying job.
Can't she just go away?! Where's Karma when you need her! Ugh!

I think Karma is afraid Kate will bit IT on the ass so it is staying far, far away.

*********************************************
Way to burn your bridges Kate! I'm sure that TLC is going to love statement about you going on to bigger and better thnings. Does she not realize that people in the industry talk to each other and if you've got a reputation for being difficult you won't get much work. Kate doesn't realize that she was only getting air time on other networks becasue TLC was pulling some strings ans she was the flavor of the month reality star. Kate, here's a phrase that you can put on your toothbrush sink "wipe" board....OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND! You may get a job here and there but that too will come to an end when you don't have the TLC machine behind you AND people realize that you have absolutely NO talent. Enjoy mediocrity!

____________________________
She's basically gone. However if you're reading her tweets I guess it doesn't seem that way.
As far as karma goes, TLC canceled her show, the media is ragging on her, her only friends, Ashley & Jamie, have told it like it is (Kate's a bitch), she's got a website with no content...isn't that karma?
@ the u never know (wink, wink) comment
some tweeter asked if she had something else lined up. one (or same0 even asked if she was sorting thru her ton of media job offers.. GAG
afcter the wink wink the sheeple were bleeting for info. oooh tell me kate and crap like that.
these sheeple..do u think they r long time fans? how to they explain kates turn on the churches who helped support her? the grfting at churches crying "braces times 8 and college will be so expensove" one month b4 closing on the 1.3 mil house? the comments from her herself she walked away from the marriage when an ephinany hit during a planeride? seeing the kids go from sweet and obediant to screamers and whiners (granted they didnt know about big red spoon). how do they believe kate is organized when episode after episode she is melting down over clothes (pack more), cupcake mess, forgotten birthday cakes ect.
the sheeple were telling kate she needed a childrens clothing line. ummm tried and failed.
this woman had the brand (although fake) or being a stay at home, organic coupon clipping loving wife of 8 sweet kids. she set up crafty valentines days, had a family mission statement, loving family to assist, sang carols at xmas, supposedly was a master cook ect. yes it was fake but no one really knew. she could have branched out and made her brand very successful. but her ego got to big. at came the boobs, heels, mini skirts, screeching, ignoring the kids, salad eating maniac we see today.
and its all her own fault. she destroyed her own brand to be considered "hot'
what a waste. i can see why TLC dumped her. they worked hard to create her persona and she ruined it. sur ethey tried a new angle of "bitch" but that wasnt very successful in the long run and for sure doesn't equal the $$$'s that the original brand could have made for them.
off you go kate..u had access to it all and blew it. this is why i dont see success in your future. u forgot about family and became ALL about money and it was your own downfall. she wil never be happy even if she gets a hosting job because she will have to drag her butt out of bed and work! she will have to answer to producers..worry about rating..spend long hours preparing. im sure she thinks keppy ripa just waltzes onset and yaps for an hour then goes home. she has no clue how much prep time a one hour talk show takes. she will fail. she has no work ethic. sure the job may pay for luxuries but she will never be an oprah. it wont last and she will hate it.
she should have stayed in the old house or found a similar one in the neighborhood and paid cash for it. finished the basement completely for more space. dug a pool in the yard, paid of a nice minivan, invest her $ and then she wouldnt have to be beggging for a teeeveeeee job. she would have been set. TLC gave her the opportunity of a lifetime and she blew it big time.

@Hoosier Girl;
MiloandJack ... U just never know! (wink wink!) about 11 hours ago
Oh, please...that's Kate thinking that she's sending all the "haters" into a frenzy. Just like when she announced sh has a "BIG surprise" and it turned out to be a pathetic web site. She doesn't want us to think she's down and out, so she puts out these teasers, which end up being nothing. She wants us to think she ahs some big, new TV career in the works. After Monday's fiasco, I don't think so. She would be nothing but a liablility for anyone in the media. Does someone really want to put her on a talk show to talk endlessly about Jon and money? Cause that's all she has to say.
I can see it now, Kate on a talk show...
"Kate, what is your opinion of Obama's new economic poilcy?"
Kate, "Economic pollicy? Well, honestly it's terrible because I had to buy the kids new shoes and all Jon's child support would pay for was the laces".
On last night's Showbiz Tonight, A.J. Hammer talked about the show's end and said, 'She's done!' again.
Some of these sheeple comments are so amusing:
stuggle99
@Kateplusmy8 want your hair! how would I describe to hairdresser to get same cut?
************
You better take it from her now while she still has some left!
"Mr. Hairdresser Man, I want the Wizard of Oz scarecrow cut. Over-processed, choppy, fried hard with split ends."
I think it is disturbing that she will use her website asa way to update sheeple on her kids. leave them alone! she doesn't owe her fans a glimpse into her childrens lives.
im not too worked up becasue i predict the site will fail but still. let them grow up away from the cameras. its over! let it go.
the sheeple sobs of never seeing the kids again is just creepy. she needs to protect her kids. they worked for what mommy has. now invest your money and move on!!!
EM
Ya know, what can I write here that's already been written by all the astute posters here?
Pathological liars lie even when they don't need to.
Kate views the world with her own skewed perspective....and always will. She is a textbook malignant narcissist and even extensive therapy rarely helps.
She really crossed the line with the "mediocre" comment....but what is interesting is that she thinks WE should all agree that she must remain on TV so that she can continue to support the lifestyle they've become accustomed to. I mean hell, I would love to be a neurosurgeon and live the lifestyle that could afford me and make that kinda money but I doubt that will ever happen, no matter how much I might want it...or how much I think I'm entitled to it. She clearly doesn't get that. In her reality, everyone else doesn't matter. The fact that most people live paycheck to paycheck is inconsequential to her.....SHE is the only one who is important to her.
And if she constantly lies and contradicts herself.....well,that's the way she sees things at that particular moment. It doesn't have to make sense or fit with anything else she's said.
I'm sure that for most of us, even attempting to put ourselves in the mind of a narcissist is difficult, if not impossible.
Oh....and IMO most of the fans are major man-haters. Their man left them, rejected them, traded them in for a younger model, etc.....so that despite the facts, any time a man is involved, he is WRONG and is a horrible person.
Beth,
I am so sorry, I meant no offense to anyone with incontinence. My point was that according to Kate, she HAS no flaws, so admitting to anything about her being less than perfect would be the ultimate comedown for her. This is a woman who cannot even admit to having surgery scars, for heaven's sake!
I apologize for the misunderstanding, and I am the first to admit that I have my imperfections, too, for example:
1. I have cankles. Big ones.
2. I have stretch marks from having my kids.
3. I still get zits, and it irritates the hell out of me. I thought I had left them behind when I got out of my teens, but nooo. Every time something important comes up, like family pictures, I can always count on a huge zit popping up.
4. I have really ugly toes. That combined with my cankles pretty much guarantees that I can never, ever wear heels and a dress. Don't want to scare anybody.
Let's all embrace our imperfect selves and never try to convince the world that we are otherwise.
"she should have stayed in the old house or found a similar one in the neighborhood..."
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
The View is tearing kHate's People article apart, even Sheri Shepard is coming out against her. I wish I had been keeping notes, I'm sure one of you ladies can give more details than me.
But BW said "maybe you should have thought about that before you had 8 kids!"
Kate has been exposed by her own doing and she is angry about it! Remember the old saying, "You can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time." Bring back gratefulness into your life and see what happens, Kate. The "multiple blessings" have been lost on you. So many, many missed opportunities. If Kate ever wakes up, she'll be driven to change. Sad story, really.

@Weriak @Kateplusmy8 K8, I hope u comment on current events in the news that u care about on ur website
_____
The only "current events" that she cares about involve her, and she already has those on her website!
HA!
Kate just got schooled on The View!
Sherri finally came to her senses and said she took exception to Kate saying construction was "mediocre" and said all kids need are food, clothing and shelter. She was really annoyed with Kate and said reality TV fame is "fleeting" and is not here to stay.
Barbara went off on her about how she shouldn't have had 8 kids if she was so worried about how she couldn't provide for them.
Elizabeth was annoyed with how Kate is worrying the kids about how school and the house will be paid for. The kids shouldn't have to worry about that.
No one had ANYTHING good to say about Kate and no one defended her.
The View puts the episodes up on ABC's website later in the day. Will be looking for it later. Guess Kate won't be tweeting with Sherrie anymore.
I used photoshop for the photo.
Te view finally sees the light!!! Yea!!! Welcome Sherri! Elisabeths comment was spot on.

I caught bits & pieces of that spot too, bearswife!
I guess she's going to have to go on another "setting things straight" tour...
Thank God people are coming to their senses.
Did you see Kate's recent tweet?
RT @sc_sun @Kateplusmy8 spent busstopmoments convincingmy10yrold daughterthatTLC doesn't hateher&didn't takeherk+8 awayjust 2spite her LOL! 12 minutes ago
--------
And the problems for those kids are just beginning. Wait until they cannot cut ahead in lines, or get free tickets to concerts, etc... simply because they are Gosselins.
Kate, you created the "monster", and you have no one to blame but yourself.
It's just a retweet, Kate's own kids seem to be taking it just fine.
You know, none of this worrying and freaking out would be happening if Kate had better money sense and lived WITHIN her means.
THEY DO NOT NEED THAT BIG AZZ MANSION! It's a want, not a need!
She could've gotten a bigger house than the E-Town house, but it certainly did not need to be a mansion on 24 acres. She could've gotten a nice 4,000 to 5,000 square foot home in a gated community with a nice sized yard and paid CASH and not have had to worry about a mortgage. But nooooooooo.....she had to feel like she's Hollywood and only a mansion would suffice.
And everyone would love to have their kids in a posh private school. But with EIGHT kids she should've known that that is a HUGE financial commitment that reality tv just could not accomodate. There is no reason those kids can't go to a smaller private school or even just public school.
Poor Poor financial decisions were made by this ninny. And now everyone is supposed to feel sorry for her?
Such a doggone shame she had millions of dollars at one time, and because of poor spending she will eventually end up broke.
Broke AND with a horrible reputation to boot.
Kate tweeted that she nearly pays for all of the kids expenses, take it as you will. I take it Kate you are yet again omitting the fact that Jon's contribution goes into the pot and from this pot you pay the expenses. Once again, Kate, you mislead the public into thinking you alone support your children. Hey Jon, can't you sue Kate for slandering your good name constantly?
It's just too funny IMO that Kate's big mouth is what is destroying her. For all her bitching about editing, editing what comes out of her mouth is the best thing that could happen to her.
Also, how many families have lost their homes to foreclosure? How many children change schools everyday? These are the things that are the basis for her sob story. Well boo, hoo, hoo. I have massive amounts of sympathy for her kids, but the #1 reason why is because of who their mother is.

For whatever reason, I did not see RT @sc_sun ...
"I have never not had a job other than when I was on bed rest, Gosselin tells me. When [the children] were 15 months I was back at work. I have always worked and I am a worker. And I love to work."

Well then Kate, prove it. Get your resume out there Mrs. Talent and prepare yourself for some interviews. Quit jacking around on twitter and go pound the pavement until you find one.

Cheers, dear! :)
I saw this, thought it was funny. At first I thought she said she ran 10.45 INCHES. LOL But to run 10.45 MILES in 34 MINUTES? I am not a runner, but isn't that kinda far fetched?
Heidiplus2 Heidi Brain
@Kateplusmy8 Inspired by u and just ran 10.45in 34min in UK. Love ya Kate and co xoxo
Did she just tweet that one of the twins BLAMES HERSELF for the cancellation? Now why would a 10 yr. old believe that? Because mommy said so, I bet.
Well, I don't think I need to check by here so much, but it will be interesting to see how things work out in the next few months. I think Kate's next big thing will be writing a book, her spin. It is clear Kate wants to remain relevant. She's seen that Octomom is seldom in the news these days.
Glad the comment about TLC hating a 10 year old was just a retweet, but even if it is a comment from a sheeple, what are the family dynamics if a mother has to tell a 10 (!) yearold at a bus stop that TLC does not hate her by taking away her K+8 show, and then makes it a LOL moment on twitter. They're all nuts. Good for the ladies on the View, it's about time. Guess the comment about "mediocre" jobs and aspirations is really biting the biotch in the ass. And you know, you never catch K8 in tender moments with her childre, but Jon, all the time, that's what I remember from the show and what you see in any pap photos.
No regrets, I'm willing to bet that she ran 10.45 KM, as she is in the UK.

Ooops you are probably right, didn't think of that. thanks
Thanks for the clarification that was a RT. Still, why would anyone's child blame themselves for a show's cancellation. Bizarre!
I thought it was odd since the kids seemed just fine on the last episode with the whole thing.
Someone had made a snarky comment that Kate probably drowned her sorrows Monday night in NYC and that's why she got home late. You know, I think that may just very well be the case.
Sad that Kate's tweet this morning said, " Spent bus stop moments convincing my 10 year old daughter that TLC doesn't hate her and didn't take away K +8 just to spite her LOL". It is amazing that a child is feeling the effects of not having camera crews around...if TLC was just shadowing "real life" then a kid shouldn't care at all. I also don't think it was an LOL moment...just pathetic.
She could've gotten a bigger house than the E-Town house, but it certainly did not need to be a mansion on 24 acres. She could've gotten a nice 4,000 to 5,000 square foot home in a gated community with a nice sized yard and paid CASH and not have had to worry about a mortgage. But nooooooooo.....she had to feel like she's Hollywood and only a mansion would suffice
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
It is not a mansion. At least not here. Depending where you live, it might be called an estate or a mansion, but here, it's just a big house. There are many houses of equal size, or larger (I've owned one), but never, ever did anyone here ever refer to my house as a mansion or an estate. That kind of makes me smile.
That said, at the time it was purchased, and when she enrolled the kids in school, she thought that reality television would go on forever, at least until the kids graduated. Heck, she was still saying that a few weeks before the show was canceled. I guess in her head, with the money continuing to roll in, there would be more than enough to cover expenses. Obviously, she didn't think ahead.
Even if she would have been advised that this wasn't the thing to do at the time, that it would have been smarter to buy a new house with cash and one that was affordable, she never would have listened. She had absolutely no idea what it costs to own and maintain a property such as hers. She had no experience in matters like that. The Nouveau Riche want it all and they want it now.
I don't for one minute believe that she's broke and desperate for money. Not yet. The wise thing right now would be to do as she should have done years ago - buy that smaller house, send the kids to her old alma mater - MCCS (a very good private school) and get her act together.
But you know it's never going to happen because all of that is just, well...mediocre. Her priorities are all messed up. She thinks that "best" equals material possessions, never figuring that kids don't need all of that to be happy. They don't need VIP treatment, all-access backstage passes, dream vacations, or have luxuries dropped at their feet. What they need is love and protections and parents who will make sure that they have it. They have one parent who will do that. One out of two is better than nothing.
I bet Steve, backstage at Today Show, immediately thought....it's really over now when she said the mediocre comment. She's getting it all over the internet. It's hard to believe that anyone can justify that comment, but somehow some sheeple zealots are doing just that. Apparently, the rest of the world is ignorant because they really understand what she meant.
Anyone watch the View this morning? the ladies had plenty to say about Kate and not very favorable,i hope someone with more knowledge then i have can put up the link for the hot topics.
Yes, Kate poor people always qualify to purchase a a 1.1 million dollar home.
If TLC paid such a paltry amount, why did both of you stop working call it your 'career'.
If the pay was so low and you are so broke, how on earth did you purchase not one 'used' car but TWO in the same day. Mediocre people of the world usually have to squeeze the budget to get just one.
How can a broke person possibly afford not only a 'girl' to do laundry and 'other things' to free you up to spend time with the kids, AND hire a full time babysitter too. ESPECIALLY if you aren't even working now? So you can run? Twitter? Put your website up? Mani/pedis? Tanning? I mean you do have it SO hard. I can see why you are SO exhausted.

It kind of irks me that with the exception of Whoopie the women on the View are saying this now, after the fact. What, they didn't see what she was like before? I thought they liked to call themselves intelligent and informed. They had her on enough times and did enough research to know she was a grifter who was exploiting her kids. It just goes to show a lot of people in the tv industry get up and wash more than one face in the morning.
In the South her property would be called a "farm" or "estate" particularly because of the fenced acreage, barn and large home.

Boy do I agree with this comment, AuntieAnn. BUT I don't think anyone except Whoopie bothered to do research, based on dummy Sherry's comments on the previous shows. Well, Sherry is not too bright about many things, but things were said by ALL of them to show me they didn't do much research AT ALL.
I've been to England several times, they actually use miles not kilometers. Beats me why.
The remark that Kate made about not wanting to be in show business when one is 'as OLD as Barbra Walters or Larry King", probably didn't go over too well with Barbara, I would imagine.
Anonymous:
I don't think that bus stop moment actually happened. I think it was a dig that Kate made towards TLC to try to make them feel guilty for cancelling the show. She also made another dig at them this morning about some DVD's and that it stinks that she doesn't know if they will be showing reruns or not (that's the jest I got when I read the tweet). Kate's now on a mission to start throwing TLC under the bus IMO.
Donna that was not Kate's tweet, she retweeted a fan's tweet.
Somebody fed her that line. I don't think she could have came up with that word on her own without butchering it. The way she is grabbing up quotes on Twitter, she may have gotten it there or from her top adviser.

My hubby is from Hampshire, England. He said that they are partially converted to the metric system but not all the way. I had to teach him how to understand our temperature in Fahrenheit.

Regrets, those notes they hold in front of themselves must be menus from the commissary then. Actually they didn't need to do any research if they had just watched her show.
I've never cared for the View, can you tell?
I read that Omarosa and Donald Trump have teamed up to create a dating show. What do you want to bet that old missy Kate is being considered? Omarosa would like Kate, they can relate, don't you think?
