Kate, who claims to be "freaking out" about her financial future and complains constantly about Jon's child support, got her beans spilled by her hairstylist this week. Instead of pinching pennies to survive, she was in NYC today getting her hair done, followed by dinner at
Fig and Olive, a Mediterranean restaurant popular with celebs like Robert Downey Jr. and Leonard DiCaprio. If her finances are so uncertain, why is she blowing money in NYC .... or racking up speeding ticket fines?
Kate received her fourth speeding ticket since 2009 this week, issued on September 11, 2011, of all days.

hey jude said... Jill Zarin was just on AH and said that it was just a rumour that they were not on RHNYC.She hasn't been told anything.It was in the Huff Post,too to-day.
Didn't Kate say those exact words a month before she was canceled?
*******
Yes, although in a more truthful moment, she admitted she had a feeling it wasn't a lock to get another season out of her 8 ATM's.
As far as the RHONY goes, I am surprised that Jill Zarin is gone. Jill was such a great shit-stirrer.
Alex is no surprise because she toned down her crazy too much, although that lesbian she married is good for a hoot or two. No offense ot lesbians ;-)
If you love the RH series, you have to check out the fantastic artist and blogger, Pretty on the Outside. You will laugh your asses off, especially when he blogs and paints with a glass or two of Merlot. I hope Admin doesn't mind a link to his post on the presumed pink slips:

Check out this tweet from a high sheeple who runs the crazy blog libeling everyone:
RealZiggyFloRealZiggyFlo
@ashymama2 @Xenyc @Kateplusmy8 Really? I depised my ex and I kept his name. Neither he nor I were 'famous'.
She despises her ex! There ya go, bitter divorced woman projecting all her past on this situation. Explains so much about the sheeple state of mind.
Also, hypocritical much? Jon was blasted for saying he despised Kate. He apologized for it but it's another thing they won't let him live down.
Tucker's Mom said...Alex is no surprise because she toned down her crazy too much, although that lesbian she married is good for a hoot or two. No offense ot lesbians ;-)"
Haha Lesbian is a great description for him. Strange dude. LOL They both added...well, something to the show.

-----------------
I have found MOST of the extreme haters of Jon ARE the bitter biddies of a divorce. They took that personal what Jon did, and they will NEVER forgive him. You would think they would understand how Jon felt, but he is a MAN (shudder) so of course he is the DEVIL.
Tucker's Mom said...
...
See how self-serving this is for Kate? She HAS to do this so they don't meet a fate like hers!
Tucker's Mom, I so agree with your post.
Most parents' needs take a backseat to their children's needs.
I wonder if the story loop that Khate runs in her head even includes her parents or siblings at this point. Or did she just spring into being like Athena?
I had to bring this over here. This is too funny! A remark made on a Gawker article about Jill, Cindy, Alex and Kelly getting fired. VERY TRUE LOL
"Something tells me that Jill will not go gentle into that good night. She is going to be like Kate Gosslin, going on every television show that will have her, including cable access. (And now with your farm report, Zill Zarin...) I envision she and Kate a year from now, weary but still resolute, wandering around in the back of local news live shots waving desperately, still determined to get their faces on camera"
I don't understand that. Every divorce is different and I think most sane people know that most divorces are a bit more black and white than being a man-eater who thinks everyone like Jon is evil. Umm, you picked 'em!
I have never been divorced and hopefully that's not in the cards for me in the future, but everyone I know who has been divorced who's ever talked about it will say some version of, It takes two to divorce. I respect that. This is called personal responsibility.
Who among us had an idyllic childhood. Many have suffered much more in their childhood than not leaving the state. On my first date in a car, I asked to go to McDonald's for the first time. Many years later in response to something my sig. other was complaining about I mentioned that and he said do you want some french cries to go with that whamburger? My lesson in that? No one really cares, get over, and move on with life.

So very true. The bad part is, most of us are not on TV and say this stuff in public. Of course we all had things that happened or didn't happen to us as children. The best one can do is learn from it, and don't repeat the same in raising your own children. To hold a grudge or complain because you didn't travel as a child? Whooptiy doo. They had a business that I am sure they couldn't leave so easily. She went to private school. Many do not get that.

So wanting her kids to have a private life is a "useless cause" per Kate. Why am I not surprised!
Lake Up North, glad I could give you a gigantic grin! I'll date myself too - I was MARRIED when my husband introduced me to the B-52s. I was never a huge fan and seeing them again makes me realize their music is kinda dumb, but it sure was fun - they still have 'it'! Human League opened for them - they were great!
Wishing the Gosselin children a good weekend and peace in their overexposed lives.
Wow, just wow. All the crap they have dished out on Jon AND Ellen and this one says this?? What absolute LIARS these people are. Funny, they don't care about Jon and then tag it 'mediocreguy'. Disgusting jerks.

no mo worryin bout me said... One thing with Kate that I noticed early on was her setting herself up to fail by making it harder than it needs to be. What I don't get is if your so good at organizing, there wouldn't be so much chaos and stress. After all, isn't that the purpose of being organized, so everything will run much smoother. We've had seven seasons of watching her organizing. When is she going to be finished.
Of course I know the real answer, it just begs the question.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In an interview or a tweet, someone asked her what she would have done differently on the RV trip when things started getting so tense and she replied "I would have just continued my organizing." It occured to me then that Kate thinks organizing means telling other people what to do. And that's it. It doesnt mean (to her) simplifying things, or putting the certain items here and others over there, or making plans for an afternoon to run smoothly; to her it means looking for things for others to do and making them do it. She sees three leaves on the ground and thinks 'those could be moved and I must make someone move them now.' I think that is why non-fans mock her 'organization' all the time, she is using the word to mean 'control'. Control things, people, timelines, events etc. Not ORGANIZE them, simply control them.
To all who objected to what I said about Bi-polar affliction, I deeply apologize. I perhaps came across as glib about a bebilitating illness. I do not, and have not, tried to armchair diagnose Kate. That is impossible to do without proper face to face interviews and assessments. What we have seen on TV is enough for most of us to know she is deeply troubled, enough so that it interfers with her ability to function in society (Sheeple: functioning in society is not the same thing as stuffing a bank account, `a la Howard Hughes). But if comments came as though I were insensitive, I am sorry for those that I offended or frustrated with my remarks. Please, forgive me.
I am totally in agreement with Admin on Kate's approach to life being frozen at the early teen years, tho I might go up to freshman year in high school. Why she is this way is probably way too complex to understand but she certainly has no insight. From what she has shared, or what we have read, there is a pattern; the escape to the first fiance (didn't she leave home and move in with him?), dumping him unceremoniously, meeting a young Jon, manipulating him (and his father's checkbook) into a fast track marriage, manipulating her pregnancies (fast track infertility), she is classically immature. Her current tweety relationships with underage kids is another example of her maturity level. I honestly think that her 10 years olds are more mature now than she has ever been. And I honestly don't know why I waste any time on this, but I guess I find her a fascinating trainwreck. As for Jon, he obviously did some acting out post-separation, but we all know those days are over, and he leads a very normal life for a man his age. I am also going to hazard a guess that his young girlffriend is far more emotionally stable than any others he has dated, or married, so good for her. Seriously, at 22, I doubt he had been around the dating block all that much, my son at that age certainly had not.
I give her 3-4 months, if that, with this web page thing, she hasn't a clue what she is doing there. And no one in the media is going to care either. She joins a larger club than she thinks of reality tv has-beens. It's over.
Well, she COULD have taken the spider outside...but still....
LOL
So, exploiting her kids is not a big deal huh? Well, now we know she does not care ONE bit. It's useless. She is just going to do whatever until a judge tells her to stick a {expletive} in her mouth & shut the hell up & stop exploiting those kids.
That is all she has, & she knows it. She is NOTHING without those kids. That website will fail. Does anyone in the world not know how to make meatloaf for eff sakes? That was one of the 1st things I ever learned to make when my husband & I moved in together. (& I've added things & now it's so good...Sweet Meatloaf, w/ a sauce. I'll add the recipe if you all want it some other time!)
And hello! I have one of those Bullets, I add veggies to any dish I can so my son gets his vitamins & minerals. Been doing it for years. These sheeple blow so much smoke up Kate's ass, I'm surprised she's not blowing smoke rings.

I was under the impression that Steve was no longer dealing with Kate, since TLC was the one who hired him. I read on gop that he is now Kate's road manager. Is this true?
I despise my ex.
I think (most) men are scum.
Yet, I support Jon. Go figure?
I've oftened wondered, also, why she seems to be stuck at age 13. Makes you wonder if something traumatic happened around that time.
OTH, it's probably another thing that she lives in her head. Just the same way as she's implying that there's something terrible secret about Jon, that she, being the high-road-taker, can't reveal.
Interesting....both situations she's implying that there's some hideous secret that she can't talk about.
Just more manipulation.
She has 2 kinds word games, besides outright lying.
One is that while what she is saying is true, it also isn't the whole truth. "I got a good bra." True enough, she did get a good bra; she ALSO had boob implants.
The other is that from what she says, a reasonable person would infer xxxx. And she knows it. She counting on you making that inference, cuz whatever it is, it's going to make her look 1)good, or 2) a victim.
It's a method designed to make the other person look bad. Definition of a narcissist: always speaks of others so that you people think less of them, not better.
She must have made her parents crazy.
Tee-Hee, Kate tewwted about having deadlines to meet, and a Sheeple wanted to know if that meant thre was a book coming. Didn't her last book sell MISERABLY?
Maybe she can write an ORGANIC cookbook this time. Yeah, I know, it would be the same as any other cookbook, but she could write "organic" before each ingredient. For example:
ORGANIC Spaghetti
1 lb ORGANIC ground beef
1 jar ORGANIC spaghetti sauce
1 box ORGANIC spaghetti noodles
Brown and drain ORGANIC ground beef. Cook and drain ORGANIC spaghetti. Mix ORGANIC spaghetti sauce with the ORGANIC ground beef and serve over ORGANIC spaghetti noodles.
Her flock would go wild!! They would NEVER think of using ORGANIC ingredients to make ORGANIC food! Brilliant! She might even sell TEN thousand copies of this book!
OOPS, sorry, I meant "tweeted". My bad!
Remember the tweet just a few days ago where, in all caps, she was shouting about how everything she does is for her kids, it's all about her kids. Today she's talking about how her dream is to have a personal assistant. Guess the personal assistant would be raising those kids for her, 'cuz she surely does not want to be doing that either. And yes, in Kate-thought/speak, organizing is just another word for control, as long as she is allowed to 'organize' she is in control. The RV trip was never going to be about fun, adventure, learning - it all would have been just so much better if she had been able to 'organize' everything in her way. Even forgetting how much a camper (not) this idiot is, that trip was a disaster in the making - rv's, suv's equipment, crew + 14 people. Ridiculous.
It was obvious to me that ziggyflo allowed the Jon bashing from her bloggers because most of them are divorced. This explains why they are so engrossed in Kate's life. So straight from the horse's mouth, ziggy despises her ex. Why don't they just worry about themselves rather than idolizing a crazy person like Kate. No wonder they are unattached.

I married 2 years after that. NOW I feel old! Haha. You listen to music you used to listen to 'back in the day,' and sometimes I think I would definitely not listen to it now. Point is when you are young you enjoy life with this spontaneous sense of humor, not entitlement. You do it because it's there and if you don't you'll regret being that person then.
All Kate's pushing for the best opportunities don't have to come in front of a camera and it's a terrible waste that she does. Life isn't lights, camera, action, do over. But I guess in Kate world, maybe so.
@ Layla, very true. Only when I've said it one of my kids said once, "That be a pretty boring date if it was just you wouldn't it?"

Westcoater - I hear you. Dont know why I stick around either but Kate's recent claims that she needs to be on a talk show are simply ridiculous! She has no skills, has digusted many so she has a lot of nerve assuming she could talk about anything other than herself. She is a selfish pig with nothing to offer other than her own selfish gripes. This has been proven time and time again!!
Get a job Kate, stop critiicizing Jon for having a job, and stop depending on your kids to payroll your expenses. You are a lazy piece of crap. And you know you are nothing without your kids.
Why is it that she does not associate a simple bike ride or trip to the library or time with mom and dad with her happiest moments?
+++++
I think that this is isn't something that goes back to a specific incident in her childhood, or that she was abused, or that her parents were strict. It's not complicated. In fact, it's quite simple. Kate saw what Beth had and it looked good. This is when this fascination with material possessions began. I remember when Beth talked her into going to a spa by telling her that "me" time would make a better mommy. Beth, bless her heart, unknowingly created a monster.
Kate saw the lifestyle of many of the twins' classmates and envied the traveling, the nice homes, the cars. She never had this when she was a kid, and bingo, the light went off! Kate saw that her children were her meal ticket to all of this. She couldn't get it on her own and neither could Jon. She wanted it; she got it.
I have absolutely no basis for this theory other than it has always puzzled me how Steve has managed to slip in and out of Gosselinland without a sighting. I think that speeding ticket Kate got on the Sunday prior to appearing on the Today show was the result of her meeting Steve somewhere so they could travel discreetly to NYC. Hotel?Apartment?
Kate is tweeting with a woman whose nephew has been abducted by (his father???? - not clear.)
This woman is doing her best to raise funds for this. Kate chimes in with "can we do something, like a fundraiser?" And all the people who are part of this conversation are now figuring out what bands they can contact, etc. Kate? Nada.
At least at this point. She has the idea and lets everyone else do the work? Is that how it goes? Why, I believe I saw that pattern during her TV run, didn't I? I want new beds for the kids, and I want them NOW. Jon, I picked them out, now you put them together. I want the garage organized. Jon, climb the ladder and do it. I want to talk to that guy over there. Steve (finger snapping) go retrieve him for me.
So why wouldn't it follow that she would say
can we help? Now you all get to work!
She has no skills, has digusted many so she has a lot of nerve assuming she could talk about anything other than herself. She is a selfish pig with nothing to offer other than her own selfish gripes. This has been proven time and time again!!
+++++++++++++++++
That didn't stop Sherri Shepherd, who is as dumb as concrete. She made the statement that she would blow up Jon's car, totally out of line, but that didn't seem to damage her "career" on the View. If Shepherd could do it, anyone could. If Kate could sit on a talk show, and just nod, throwing out a few stupid comments every now and then, she might last for a few months. It's been done before. It's been shown that one doesn't have to have super intelligence to sit on a panel of hosts.
As far as her actually hosting a talk show on her own, no way. She'd never pull it off.

Of course, it's the "masterminding" she was talking about in the RV episodes. And she has to do ALL of it. Boo-hoo
Now Kate is tweeting that she would die if she had an assistant to take care of paperwork and scheduling and such.
Um, Kate, scheduling what, exactly? Don't you already have set times for the kids to go to bed, get up, the order lunch items are to be eaten, naps, your runs, your trips to the nail salon, and when to go get your hair restripped?
You have no show. You have no apparent offers for a job. What needs to be scheduled that is not already dictated down to the last possible degree? And Miss Organization can't handle it?
Oooohh, that speaks badly for your chances to get a show about organization. Even Hoarders
wouldn't be able to use you to help a person clear out the house of useless (but still treasured) items.

^^^^^^^^^^
Would she be smart enough to get the advice of her attorney regarding her involvement in something like this? How does she know this is legit and not a scam? Having her name connected to a "fundraiser" raises all kinds of legal issues, but since Kate can't see the nose on her face, she has no clue.
What's happened to the charity meet and greet with the tweeties?
fidosmommy- Kate clearly only helps herself and does nothing for others!!!!!! Ever.
Dwindle,
Hi, hon I've missed you. ITA with not joking about being bi- polar,it's devastating and Kate certainly does not have it.I would bet my bottom teeth on that.
Kate is hard to figure out, even with my humble experience, but I can't get over all the psychiatric umbrellas her behavior falls under, with all her personality traits. She is one for the record books!
Btw, you have nothing to apologize for.I heart you, as Kate would say!

@kateplusmy8 KATE!! Will you ever come to toronto to do a book signing or make a public appearance? We love you here!! :) :):)

I see that BigFan is pestering Kate again to be her "assistant"...

From the article:
Note to all would-be reality stars out there -- there was a time when the word "Trishelle" meant something too.
-------------------
Wow, amen to that. Trishelle started on The Real World and had a spotty reality tv career and minor roles in B movies. She's now a "professional" poker player. Oh, she also did Playboy.
The pickin' out there are slim for a young 20-year old, so you can imagine the odds are against an approaching 40 year old mother of 8.
I don't understand how she can think a fundraiser would help in the case of someone "abducted" by his father. Surely an "abduction" is a matter for law enforcement. A fundraiser for whom? Is it a matter of "ransom"? I think she is so consumed with $$$$$, that she thinks money solves everything. In any case, not that I think she would support a fundraiser anyway; she just thinks she will look good (concerned) for the sake of her 'public'.

Dear Kate,
I need new ideas for my kids' lunchboxes. How many grapes again? How many crackers? Is that a one to one ratio or two to one? Are the crackers organic? What if I can't find or afford organic? What if they want hard boiled eggs and I don't have organic? Or I only have brown eggs? Or I have NO eggs? Should I go buy some? Will the brown eggs hurt them? How many carrot sticks? Should I cut them reallly skinny or sort of fattish? Thanks SO much you are SUCH an inspiration ~
signed your NUMBER ONE FAN (regardless what that kid claims)
====================
I just about lost my life reading this one. I laughed so hard I couldn't breath. Ok, being a little over dramatic here, but I can't believe the sheeple are so stupid. When I first read it, I thought someone was mocking Kate. Silly me.

The abduction is about the father who lives in Dubai (I think) ONE of the Arab states. He took their child and moved there. The mother is trying to get the boy back. I had read something on this prior to the seeing this woman on Twitter. IF all of it is true, make it public nationally, by contacting news agencies. Use the internet. Twitter, etc
You KNOW many would be interested in this. Human interest story, if nothing else. Then all they have to do is set up a freakin account at a bank, let her lawyer handle the funds, and spread the word.
No big auctions, no bands to play, nothing except get the word out, FREE by using the news media. I am sure by the time Kate puts her idiotic ideas into this, it will turn out to be something to make HER look good. It can be done without all the hoopla.

I totally made that up. I was mocking her fans AND her. LOL those are questions similiar to what have seen fans ask, or in some form.
I will stay anonymous for this post, but you all know me.
My husband & I went through a really bad rough patch in our 7th year of marriage. Things were just awful. Yes, we fought, but we ended up deciding that we would separate amicably after much much talking. I started looking for apartments, we were going to sell the house, & we were BOTH going to use HIS dad as our lawyer (he's a family lawyer) to handle everything.
Things were so damn amicable, we were talking one night about custody arrangements, we decided to try couples therapy. Lo & behold, it couldn't have been better for us. Not one time however during the whole mess we were going through, did I bash him or he me in front of our child. We kept it very friendly.
Thank God for that therapy. We have been very lucky & are more in love than ever each & everyday. But I don't understand how there can be so much hate w/ someone whom one claimed to love & vowed themselves to for life at one point. Had my husband & I (God forbid) ever did separate, I would assume we would be on friendly terms & be adults about it. And NEVER bash each other or under mind each other. We don't do it now!
Thanks for listening.

Good for you both and your kids. That is the WORST thing is to try and poison a child's mind against the other parent. It DOES backfire. I have seen one of the worst cases of it, with someone in my family. It messed up the kids so badly, even in their 30's now, they are still damaged. Very badly damaged.
Great that you two worked it out. Great that you did not involve the children. :)
The G kids are going to never forget all the nasty things Kate has said about Jon. That is their father. She cannot ever take that away from them, no matter how hard she tries.
When the kids get old enough to figure things out, I really think not many of them will be bringing old 'grandma' Kate their kids to babysit.
What ever happened with the "meet & greet" her college tweeter friend was organizing? Kate said "Do it & I'll be there" but it's been quiet on twitter about it, so I see from the above tweets.
Um, it seems this tweeters of Kate are quite the little procrastinators. Or lazy. Like Kate!
Anonymous, great job. May your marriage remain healthy and strong. You both handled it in a responsible manner for yourselves and your children, a concept foreign to Kate. She won't admit she needed therapy and refuses to even pay for it.

The last I saw of any mention of this, he tweeted to Kate a week or so ago to tell her manager he emailed her. That was it, as far as I know.

I know. What are they going to do when they become a personal assistant to theee most organized woman in the universe? She won't tolerate procrastinating!
It's sad to read their tweets as they are competing to get in her front door. She has no intention of letting that happen, she just leads them on. If I recall, there's a nasty word for women who do that.
Oh puhleeze, now she's describing to someone that yes, she does have help in the house, but she would really love an assistant to help with all of her business stuff, her paperwork, etc. In her words, 'it would really free me up'. Seriously? It would free you up to do what, you biotch? You already are free from 7-4 M-F, and you have household help. Go on, tell the real working moms how an assistant would free you up. And really, what paperwork? Thought you loved to make lists.
On a slightly other topic, I was just reading a review of the controversial new and unauthorized bio of Sarah Palin, by the writer who moved next door to her. The reviewer considers the book a flawed look at SarahP, and this is in no way a comment on how I view her personally. What struck me in the review was a description of her life during the period when Todd was away working up on the oil fields for months at a time. A friend (this lack of identifiable source material is why the reviewer consider the book flawed) says that in his/her opinion Sarah was never really the maternal type, and describes going into the Palin kitchen one evening to find the older girls, still rather young, with a pot of scortched mac 'n cheese, and Sarah up in her room with the door shut and instructions that the children not bother her. True or not, what struck me is that this is the scenario I see for the Gosselin twins not too far down the road. These are both families where the maternal nurturing has been primarily through the fathers.
Regarding Katie Irene the Chef: Come on Babe, you stay at 5 star resorts and dine at all the trendy spots in NYC, among other places. The best you can come up with is chicken and beef? Endless chicken and pot roast/meatloaf. Weak. What else you got? I will give you props for picking up on sweet potatoes being trendy.

==================
I am with you guys who commented on this. Free her to do what? What huge amount of paperwork, business etc does this person possibly have? She is no more special than anyone else. She is just SO much busier than we all are. She has no business of her own, she isn't even working now. She hired the 'girl' to free her up to be with the kids, yet has a full time babysitter. I know I keep repeating this, but what nonsense that is.
Now she wants an assistant to free her up? FOR WHAT? FROM WHAT? She tries to sound just so busy so important. LOL

We both had this same thing on our minds. LOL Doesn't she sound so dumb? I would assume her lists take up more time than anything else she does. Maybe she needs the assistant for making all the post it notes she has all over the place. LOL
I think she hides away in her room, using this babysitter, while she 'works' soooooo hard on her 'paperwork.'
Thanks for clearing that up No Regrets. It was still funny though, and it wouldn't surprise me if one of them did write it.

I LOVE to sleep in & my lovely husband allows me that pleasure, on weekends. On the weekdays, I'm up at 6 a.m., help get my son off to school & tackle the day. Nope, I don't have 8 kids, but there's a lot going on. I usually have doctor's appts. during the week, & there's stuff to do, not to mention that pesky chronic pain problem, & I manage.
I would like to know all of this "paperwork" she speaks of. What paperwork? What does she need to sign? It's not contracts, no one's making offers. What the hell does she need a personal ass. for? I could use one. Along w/ a cleaning lady. (which my mom is going to do for me actually, I just can't anymore). But seriously now, she can't handle filing Shoka's vet bills?
What an ASS!

Wait, a reallllly well organized person should have this all taken care of.
Hahahaha, all this paperwork Kate claims she has. I can see her manicly typing away, all day, everyday, with stacks and stacks of "paperwork". Upon further inspection, every sheet of paper has "All work and no play makes Kate a dull girl" from top to bottom, front to back.
Red Sky At Night said...
I remember when Beth talked her into going to a spa by telling her that "me" time would make a better mommy. Beth, bless her heart, unknowingly created a monster.
I feel for Beth, because she really did seem like a good person. But I think that Beth is the kind of person who gave a lot of herself to her family, and knew that a short spurt of "me-time" rejuvenated her and gave her the energy to jump right back in and do more for her family. Kate didn't get that message. She thought that if a little time spent focusing on herself made her a better Mom, then more and more time spent focusing on herself made her an even better person.
Most of us realize that we can devote ourselves slavishly to our families, as long as we can sometimes step away and spoil ourselves. Then we're ready to jump right back in and work hard for the ones we love. Kate never understood that, she just kept increasing the "me-time" at the expense of "family-time" until the family became a nuisance for someone else to deal with. In her own words (to Tony on DWTS), she just doesn't get it.

__________________________________________
Yes, she sure did! Kate says verbatim what Beth said back in the day.
I'm sure sweet Beth meant "me time" every month or two. Not every hour or two.
What I don't get is, Kate has more help than the average mom, has more money than the average mom, is obnoxiously organized, has more "me time" than any mother I know of (even those with one child ), yet she is more stressed than anybody I've ever seen in my life.
Is she really that stressed, or just a straight up bitch that can never be happy?
( stupid question )
Call me The Lurker (can't get a post through using a name!)
This isn't about Kate, but there's a very interesting article about Taylor Armstrong at The Daily Beast. It does not go into the abuse, but it does go into their financial dealings and how involved she was, and what they did to get/stay on reality TV. And they have a five year old child.

If it's all about the kids and her being a mommy, then why is it she's always flashing smiles, appears to be bubbly and happy when she's without them, as in the recent INF photos?
We never see her like that when she's with her children, and you would think that if everything is about them, then what she allegedly is doing for them would at least bring smiles to her face every once in awhile.

lol!! Is that a division of Skankwear INC?
Interestingly that's what Levy (?) the boyfriend said. That she would always leave the kids and go off to her room to eat pizza and watch her shows.
Huh two people saying the same thing. Who knows I guess. She seems like a good mom but she's smart enough to fake it unlike Kate!
I haven't had time to read all the comments, but one thing I wanted to say is:
Kate "worrying" about money is a joke. A person who is struggling financially, who is actually worried about how to pay for heat in their house or how to put food on the table, would NOT be spending money the way Kate is/does. Expensive hair colorings in New York, posh dinners, tons of babysitters, Nannies and security and her lounging around in silk tops and designer heels? This is not an "every woman" Mom. This is a vapid, shallow, exploitative b@tch using her kids to further her own fame and get money. I honestly hope when the kids turn 18 and ask where all the money is from THEIR show (no one would have cared one iota about Kate if it wasn't for the kids) that they are able to sue her for mismanagement of funds. I seriously hope Jon set up trust funds and that Kate ends up working a REAL job to support her own lazy butt.

She and Kate are similar, but different in that Sarah had Todd doing what Jon did when he (Jon) lived with them. I also think Sarah is genuinely more affectionate with her children, obviously did not use them as her means of support, but there is a type of woman who just does not want to nurture. All that is fine, unless you have children. Children oddly enough need nurturing (insert smiley face). Apparently in the Palin house things fell apart when Todd was away, and honestly I don't know, or care enough, to actually read the book or figure out old her girls were at the time. But yes, the idea that you can go to your room, and hide away, when kids need to be fed, or homework needs to be done, is something that Sarah did, and Kate would love to do. I do think Cara and Maddy will be making dinners not too far down the road, when the help is gone, and Mommy is really not coping. Under different circumstances I was doing way too much cooking and housework in my teens, so I can see this coming.
It always amuses me to hear K8 grab all of the earning "credit" for her lifestyle. She has only 'earned' two of the SIX years that she has exploited her children. Fans will say, "But she made MUCH more money without Jon" and she says, "I have made nowhere near the amount of money that's been reported". Either way, she couldn't make a go of the show without Jon (karma says it was the TWO of them that fans tuned into), and she is nothing without those children.
It shouldn't be long now before she fades into obscurity, and I, for one, wish to help speed her along. This is my farewell to all of the wonderful posters on this blog and, of course, to fabulous Admin, as well. I will check in from time to time to make sure my voice is not needed again, at which time I would be proud to be a part of preserving a safe and happy childhood of anyone needing our help.
Be well, and I wish peace and joy for everyone here.
Was wondering if anyone knew .... when Kate was asked about a talk show she said something like ...you never know (wink wink). She has done that twice now and she makes it look like something is in the works. Anyone wondering too or am I off base.
Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, 'I think I'll squeeze these pink dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?'
Sorry...off base..she said she had no job offers. It came from her own lips according to Wendy Williams. She loves to keep her 5 fans in suspense. She constantly plays that game wanting everyone to think theres something in the works. These kind of people always try to make you think everything is just great when in reality it's not. Typical narssisist...I have one in my family...constant lying to make himself look good..
She also just loooves to toy and tease about everything and anything. I don't understand how anyone could stand living with her. I guess the toying is a control thing? She loves to withhold info and watch people squirm? Like a child who leads a dog around with a treat but never lets them have it. Sick woman.
I'm sure the toying, teasing is a control thing...I know something you don't know, ha, ha,ha,ha,ha,ha.
About the fundraiser for the abducted boy: don't worry, Kate won't do anything past twittering about it. It's not about her, so it's not going to happen.
Hell, she even blew off the kid who wanted to organize a meet and greet and that WAS about her. But she's also super lazy, something she hopes her remaining few fans never notice.
No job offers, no TV shows, no books, no clothing lines, no interviews, no Kentucky Derby, poor Kate! I'm reminded of an old nursery rhyme:
There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.
She had so many children, she didn't know what to do;
So she gave them some broth without any bread;
Then whipped them all soundly and put them to bed.
Does anyone know how a person who is worrying about money and is supposedly jobless pays for "help in the house?" Liar, liar, pants on fire thou name is Kate. This person is beyond belief, ever. How are we to pity someone like her. Such a waste of time. I'm so over her and her pack of BS. Large family, take care of it yourself. It was your idea to have it. If I sound peeved, I am just that.
If Kate needs an assistant to help her with her supposed paperwork what's she going to do when she is bombarded with emails from her helpless, hopeless fans who are desperate for advice and expect answers NOW, damn it?
I personally thought (and could definitely be wrong) that the paperwork Katie was moaning about was just the everyday paperwork we all deal with ... bills, service contracts, bank statements, etc etc. ... and if it's emails to her little "site" that's her bad!
I mean come on, it's not like she's pouring over contracts from all the job offers! She has "people" to do that I'm sure!
Even though Jon only got an allowance when they were married ... I still bet he's the one who sat down and paid the bills. That responsibility probably is very taxing for her! (who was it earlier who said organized=control!! Yep - but now there isn't anyone to MAKE take care of writing the checks ... Just Katie.)
Welcome to the real world Katie!

As usual, Katie needed to put a little thought - before action. And she didn't.
This website is yet another Katie train wreck just waiting to happen! Woe is Katie.

I think even Katie knows her clock is ticking ... and her sheeple are fickle. She needs to keep them on the edge of their seats or they will move on to the next pasture.
The whiny b!tch wants an assistant?
HIRE ONE.
Problem solved.
She makes every damn thing in the world sound like some huge ordeal. Obviously I think it's a joke she has a 'Head of Security' and would even consider ad Assistant. But she could always do what normal people do - solve the problem instead of complaining about it.
Oh yeah, the whole point is to HAVE SOMETHING to complain about, that is her M.O.
If anyone is curious regarding the parental abduction case, that Kate suggested a fundraiser for (lol) the website is:

The father took the boy to Turkey. (sorry I put the wrong country I had forgotten)

I used to laugh at her descriptions of doing stuff. "Make the sandwiches, put the sandwiches in the lunchbox, put the water in the lunchbox, put on coats, put on boots, walk to the blue bus, drive to the bus stop. help them get on the bus, drive home" Every little detail, every single motion she did. LOL
No Regrets - she really honestly believe she is something special. Making lunches sometimes, an occasional dinner. Doing laundry. Not cleaning the house. Not cleaning the yard. Not maintaining the pool.
What is it about everyday life that's so darned tough?
I just don't get it. Actually, SHE doesn't get it.

At their place the G8 get 3 grapes without any bread then she whips them all soundly and gets the nanny to put them to bed.
Today I was watching Say Yes To the Dress on TLC and there was a commercial using old film footage of Kate and the kids.
Kate (old haircut) was in her laundry room telling the viewer how she has it organized, the TLC person shows viewer how they can organize their closet at home for the little people in their life (old film footage of some of the tups).
At the end of this commercial TLC notes that this space saving tidbit was brought to you by TLC and LOWES.
I'm willing to bet my next paycheck that Kate and kids will NOT be paid for this commercial, but that is what happens when you sign a contract without consulting an attorney first.

Great point! If she wants her site to be a successful business venture, it is going to require even more effort and work (not to mention it's just time-consuming) on top of everything else she has going already. If she can't fit it in, then "hire" additional people to help you out. It looks like some of her tweetie "friends" are willing to help, some who probably have experience managing their own sites. I'm sure they'd jump at the chance to help her with her site...for free!
As for her business, isn't that Julie Carson May, her manager's job to find Kate's next gig? Go over the contracts, etc?
As for paperwork, glad it's 2011. When my mom did the bills once a month, I had to help her write a portion of the checks (which she would sign). It was time-consuming. I love how most companies and banks have an online option, what a time-saver!
Kate sort of gives the impression that having eight kids brings with it lots of paperwork. Uh, no. It's the lavish lifestyle, including McMansion with expensive upkeep, that's drowning her in paperwork.
She really needs help with scheduling? Ms. Super Organized?! By scheduling...Kate's probably means busy writing out lists for her babysitters, extra help, and for the kids as well. She's scheduling what they need to get done.
As a footnote to my above comment, keep in mind that Michael Jackson bought all the copyrights to the Beatles songs.
Why? So he can sell the songs and sell products with it. Paul and MJ had a falling out due to MJ buying the songs but Paul should have done it himself.
Meanwhile I will not be surprise if more old film footage of the Gosselins will be used to push other products and TLC will get to keep all proceeds.

No regrets,

I can't stand that Kelly man/woman, but she plays crazy so well. I could do without Jill Zarin too, reminds me of Kate. She's such a 'mean girl.'
Something that's been bugging me today.
Someone tweeted Kate about the boy, Eli, abducted by his father.
Kate's response:
That IS stealing! Disgusting. Can we do a fundraiser 2 help?
It just didn't sit right with me. Who refers to the abduction or kidnapping of a child as "stealing"/
Answer: Someone who views children as a commodity. Property.
She's so inhuman.
When Kate answers "fan emails", it will be the same generic email, over & over...
Hi user name...
Thank you for writing ME, Kate Gosselin, mother of 8! I am so excited for this new venture & my website is a fun place to start! Since I have 8, count 'em 8 kids to feed, please click *here* for a list of things that are really needed.
I haven't had time to twitter, much. Oops! But I will soon. I hope you enjoy MY site! It's filled with really, really interesting things, such as recipes (meatloafs & casseroles), health tips (drink water), organization (use a shoebox for your receipts) & of course, how to maintain a family with NO HELP at all. NONE, ZERO, ZILCH, NADA.
Thanks again for writing user name. Again, I hope you enjoyed MY site. And don't worry, I'll have plenty of pictures of MY kids soon, as long as you pay *here*.
Byeee darling!

Sport said..she really honestly believe she is something special.:
She believes this because how many fans have you seen, if you watch twitter and all the years past?
"I don't know HOW you do it" "Amazing mother" "I only have one and you do this ALL by yourself' blah blah All this time she never did it 'alone'. Never. she eats this all up and plays on that constantly. Even now, the fans are going on and on about her being without a job. Have they noticed she is on twitter? Not doing a feakin thing? Oh getting her hair done in NYC and going out to dinner.
Stealing???? It's a child, not a DVD player. That struck me too.
As far as that whole incident, does she know anything about it? I wouldn't be that inclined to comment on a custody dispute unless I know a heck of a lot of the facts. I have no idea about this case and neither does she. She doesn't know if the mother was abusive or if there was some kind of reason to take the kid out of the country. Maybe they had an arrangement for him to take the kid that she later regretted, who knows. What's his side of the story? Does he get to speak or are we just going to take everything at her word?
It could be a truly horrible kidnapping but without the facts why would she throw herself behind it immediately? Oh right because it's a mother against a father.
Why? So he can sell the songs and sell products with it. Paul and MJ had a falling out due to MJ buying the songs but Paul should have done it himself.
---------------------------------
That is true, there was a falling out. But they were in a bidding war about the rights & Michael won out in the end. That is why the song Revolution was used for a damn Nike commercial long ago. UGH. :(

September 16, 2011 4:58 PM:
Oh I think ole Simon just marches to his own drummer. I don't think he is gay. But he sure is in touch with his feminine side. LOL I think he is just a big old attention ho. I LOVED the red pants. Kelly is NOT playing nuts. she truly is. Kelly should have never been allowed back after her breakdown last year. Nutty girl. JILL ugh Can't stand her voice. She is such a phony. I just do not like her. And yes, just like Kate.
I'm not sure if I want to imagine her as a nurse. Typically nurses are supposed to be, oh I don't know...CARING. Now I know some are not always as nice but with Kate I can just hear it:
"Could you get someone else to do this? I just had a manicure. Yeah, I'm on my lunch break. I'm too tiered from taking care of 8 kids the not-a-nanny got up and off to school this morning. You mean I have to be nice to the person in the bed? I'll be nice if you film it for a price. You know I just have too much to do."
From what I've watched, lying kids on the floor, freaking out because they threw up, denying her children fluids it doesn't exactly scream nurse-material let alone maternal either. Not once do I recall seeing her sympathetic to any of her kids when they were ill. All I saw was her bitching about having to wash blankets and how hard it was on her because that was the last clean one she had.
Are we sure we want her to go back to nursing? I mean yes, a regular day job...but nursing, I don't know. Sort of glad I never have to work with her. Not a nightmare I'd be prepared for I don't think. I mean we've all had days of being unpleasant and over tired but Kate seems to make a career out of being exhausted all on her own without having done anything.
Catherine said...It just didn't sit right with me. Who refers to the abduction or kidnapping of a child as "stealing"/
*******************************
The person Kate was tweeting had said a hearing had been put off until December which was
"stealing" time away from the mother to be with her son. Kate was agreeing.
Countess LuAnn really said it best didn't she??
MONEY CAN'T BUY YOU CLASS!
How does Kate reconcile that a mother not being with her child is "stealing time" or whatever she said, but it's okay for Jon not to be with his kids or even make DECISIONS for his kids? She said in Kate's Toughest Questions she can't even believe he's allowed to make decisions about the kids. Okay, psycho man-eater.
So, mothers should be with their kids and make all the decisions, but sperm donors should not be with their kids or make any decisions?
The original tweet from Kate regarding "stealing" was:

@
@marciatweeting @BringEliHome @deannatweeting @areejalkadhi OMG.dragging it out..That IS stealing! Disgusting!Can we do a fund raiser2help?
Dragging it out = the hearing.
I sincerely believe that Kate does not have to work for quite awhile. If ever again. I believe this woman still has the money in the bank that Jon's dad left them. She is much too cheap, with everything and everyone except herself. And probably still has the first dollar they made off TLC, framed in her bedroom. LOL
You know the past couple days I'm beginning to think Kate has more money than Davey Crocket, she just won't admit it.
How else is she paying all these people or affording all these jaunts to NYC? Credit cards only last so long, you can only get so many loans, people will only do so much free stuff. There's no way this is all on credit or freebies at this point, it's gone on for YEARS. Nannies aren't going to work for free for long. This money has to be coming from somewhere.
I actually think if she invested wisely she COULD live like this, let your money work for you......could it actually be she's managed her money well and is living high off the hog?
The reason she's lying about this I suppose is to ensure even more sympathy and gigs so she can keep the gravy train going. That kind of makes sense actually.
No Regrets LOL I just posted sort of the same thing.
There's just no way she could live like this, the money doesn't come out of thin air. IF she put a good chunk of her salary in a high yield money market account she could easily live off a hefty chunk of interest, many people over the past several months have done posts about how she COULD manage her oney and live well.
Guys? This woman has tons of money. Tons! It's the only explanation for all this.
ADMIN her statement about Jon being able to make legal decisions STILL gets me. HE IS THE FATHER. Of course he has rights. Not ONE fan has a word about that, not one that I saw. That is such an outrage. A divorce parent is just suppose to pay child support pick the kids every weekend and shut up about anything else?
Apparently she must have lost something in court recently to even say that. I wonder if it had something to do with the show.
"Even Hoarders wouldn't be able to use you to help a person clear out the house of useless (but still treasured) items."
We saw how sensitive Kate was when she tried to sell something at the yard sale Jon's father had given to the twins. She wouldn't work well with hoarders who have psychological problems. She'd tell them to get over it while moaning about how hard her life is.
ADMIN I do believe that too. She is loaded. Remember when Jon was talking about everything? He asked where was the MILLION dollars she got for her book? lol I think Kate hid lots of money from Jon, they knew they were divorcing for a long time.
Absolutely, I think she has recently lost stuff in court that made her so bitter. Exactly.
I think it could have included more weekends with Jon (Jon is apparently now getting every weekend but one, on certain months that means four weekends a month), which thus means less child support since more time with the kids it's only fair you pay less support (oh now THAT would piss her off) and I also think Jon has stopped some trips. I think he was able to stop the majority of trips occurring during the school year, which really must have ticked her off because she had to sort of just wait around for Christmas or summer before she could film the crap out of them.
Also, how would she like it she doesn't have any rights to her kids based on a few mistakes that occurred two years ago? I can think of a heck of a lot of reasons why SHE shouldn't have any rights to her kids, way more than Jon. Does she want to live in a country where you can lose rights to your kids just like that??? If Jon could lose his rights just like that so could she.
She just doesn't think logically when she speaks.
She's had six years to put money in the bank and watch the interest grow. She could be living off interest and have a very high end life.
Narcissists often do hoard money and are cheap. If she put most of that money in the bank and lived off freebies and penny pinching, easily, easily she could be living like this off interest alone.
That's one thing that has made me so angry about this situation is that she COULD have a very financially stable life. She's been telling us she is struggling which is ridiculous, it doesn't have to be that way. So now I think it was just a lie she's not struggling at all.
Her only problem is Richie Rich doesn't fit the story of a struggling mom of eight, a story for some odd reason she seems to think is so compelling.
ADMIN Yes, that would make sense. Because the filming did start as soon as they were out of school for even a long weekend. There were no more trips taking them out of school. after the Australia trip, I don't think.
"She just doesn't think logically when she speaks". LOL UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE YEAR
I have heard more than one talking head on these entertainment shows say that if she is broke, she should be investigated. LOL They know too. Kate gets a whole lot of freebies they have send the very beginning. LOTS Of freebies. She has socked away a whole lot, I have no doubts.
She still has a 'girl' who does laundry and a full time sitter, PLUS a manager PLUS Steve? LOL
O/T Paul McCartney just married his long time g/friend Nancy Shevell (sp) in London. Congrats Paul....
Even assuming TLC is paying for Steve (really TLC) that still leaves a nanny and "girl" i.e. housekeeper/house manager.
A nanny and housekeeper full time run you at least $60,000 and probably a lot more. A nanny for eight kids would demand at least $18 an hour and could easily make $22-28 depending on experience. I'm assuming she goes through an agency and doesn't pull these people off the streets, that's a couple thousand in placement fees too.
Where exactly is this $60,000 coming from, the three Magi? This woman is rich and the truth is coming out.
The only good news is there's hope maybe she hasn't pissed away the children's every last dime and there might be something left.
I agree with all of you.
She's loaded.
Period.
Confession! Guilty pleasure America's Next Top Model All Stars.
On the episode this week a model was booed by her fans and Tyra Banks said to her, it's okay you have polarity and that's not such a bad thing. When you have star power you have lovers and haters. But the key is to make sure that you have a lot more people that love you while still keeping that fire about you.
Tyra Banks the next Dali Lama.
So true. It's okay to have a few haters. But it's not good when the vast majority of people hate you, that's not gonna work! Kate, listening???

No regrets,
Here's one for ya,
She gives them no water, without any bread
Then whips them all soundly as the nanny
puts them to bed.
I can't decide which is worse, actually pissing the children's money away and having no money, or HIDING/MISREPRESENTING/HOARDING how much money you've made off the kids and LYING about how you're actually richer than all get out. Hmmm tough one.

One is as bad as the other. I pegged her as a hoarder a long time ago after I saw all the stuff in her basement.

She had so much free shit she didn't know what to do.
Catherine said...
Something that's been bugging me today.
Someone tweeted Kate about the boy, Eli, abducted by his father.
Kate's response:
That IS stealing! Disgusting. Can we do a fundraiser 2 help?
It just didn't sit right with me. Who refers to the abduction or kidnapping of a child as "stealing"/
Answer: Someone who views children as a commodity. Property.
She's so inhuman.
******
In defense of Kate (!!??) she was referring to the TIME the child and his mother have lost...
stolen days, weeks, months. Not stealing a child, although one could argue that point as well.
Teresa,
Well, you just put a dagger through my heart! You might as well shoot me now. Paul McCartney got married- but he belongs to me! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa! rotfc. sniff,um, sniff.
oops, sorry. Many have already addressed the
"stealing" upthread. I didn't read before I wrote. My apologies for being repetitive.
Besides the "girl", the babysitter & Steve (who is now top advisor/road manager), there are:
some other advisors (since Steve is the top one, there must be others who are lower?)
security,
yard service,
someone to feed/care fo the animals when she's gone,
a cook,
pool service (tell me she closes up the pool for the winter...all by herself),
snow plow service
Anyway my point is maybe in Kate's head she DOESN'T have a lot of money. Maybe millions doesn't feel like enough or a lot to her, due to her batshit craziness. This is why she is fluttering around talking nonsense about being poor when really she's living a wonderful life.
$15 million wasn't enough for another narcissist I know. I believe my narcissist, I think she truly was scared about money and losing it. I think she really did feel at times she was only a few gigs away from being on the streets. She was that screwed up in the head.
Yet another reason being rich is way more trouble than it's worth. I'd rather be able to rest easily at night rather than wake up at 3am to log onto my bank account to be sure it's still there.
I can't remember what tv show Jon was on, but he said that Kate had 11 different accounts. She uses that no money jive as a pity card.If
you have no money, you don't have her lifestyle.
Has anyone ever heard Jon say that? I could see him worrying about supporting the kids.Also, don't remember the magazine, but they said she made $5k last year.
I can see her having some money and living off it now, but I really don't think she's smart enough to have invested wisely. First of all, she isn't living beneath her means and hasn't been since she bought the mine-all-mine mansion. Even when all the money was coming in, she should have realized (but didn't) that it wouldn't last forever and she should have bought a home less expensive to maintain.
What I think she's doing right now is continuing to live as if another fat paycheck
is around the corner. Problem is, it's not. So she'll blow through her available
funds in about six months or fewer. That's my prediction, anyway. She'll slowly have to downsize as reality starts slapping her in the face. She COULD have kept their lifestyle modest and invested wisely, but I know she didn't do the former and seriously doubt she did the latter.
So if Kate was referring to stealing time from the mother, what about the time she stole from Jon? The Australia trip was three weeks long and they had to go right back to school when they finally returned. We all know she fought in court to steal time from Jon. I'm sure a lot of these other 'business trips' stole time from Jon.
I wonder if Kate thinks we should do a fundraiser for Jon?
Kate is so horrible, no matter what the circumstance, it can always be turned back against her.
I still have never heard the word 'stealing' when it comes to child custody. And I still stand behind my statement that she's inhuman.
What's worse than both is that she has at least 10 more years to spend the kid's money. And if it is a large cache, it will be gone by then.
Remember a few things though, taxes are taking nealy half, manager and publicist take another percentage, as does the mmortgage. And most importantly Kate is not either bright or someone who plans ahead.
I think she will never give up custody of the sextuplets, just to hurt Jon and keep control of her most precious "assets". BUt it will definitely hurt Mady and Cara when they find out that she isn't fighting for custody of them as well.
Kate was on "The View" last year and Joy asked her "do you have enough money" and Kate replied quietly as she sat down,"Is there ever enough money?" She said it only to Joy and not loud enough for anyone else to hear.
I thought at the time that that was so telling of her and her selfishness. She would take every cent from Jon and not think anything about it.It's hard to believe that those two promised to love each forevernot that long ago!

___________________________
I never heard Jon say that, but at the bottom of some legal document provided by ROL there was a note from some woman at Kate's bank that said, per her (Kate's) instructions she was moving money around in the 11 bank accounts. I don't remember the banker's exact words. This was during thetime Jon (and Kate) had taken money out of a bank account.
Catherine said...I still have never heard the word 'stealing' when it comes to child custody.
____________________________
The word "stealing" defined TIME and had nothing to do with child custody.
I'm now done with that!
I just came back online so I have only read just a few of the post pertaining to Kate using the word stealing. I have often thought that might be in the back of Kate's mind should Jon get custody. She stated, while being interviewed on dwts, that know one would ever be able to pry them out of her hands. That's when I suspected it is in her mind. By using the word stealing, it minimizes the act of what is really kidnapping. She always has to convince and justify it to herself first and then try with others. It's her play on words that she likes to do.
oops, I forgot to add my apology if someone already covered it.

Here is a link for 11 accounts.

My dad died a couple years ago with quite a stash in different accounts. I was shocked to learn that here in Ut., there is a fifty percent death tax after 1.5 million. I'm not sure how it is in other states. I think I remember hearing it changed to 2 million. I think that's just crazy.

AWWWWW.....sowwy Jude, didn't know ya cared that much. I will write and tell Paulie to get divorced IMMEDIATELY and call ya and apologize. After all, he did write write that song about ya didn't he?!
Judy K.
I just read that post from yesterday and I didn't think anything of it.I know how you feel,because I made a mistake when I replied to Dallas Lady, too.I told her I was glad she didn't get more injuries, instead of any more serious, as in fatal, injuries, I meant.
I was plenty mad,scared and couldn't drive for quite awhile , but it was 30 years ago.I don't remember the accident,but I remember waking up and thanking God I was alive.You have to let things go, or they'll eat you alive.
I hardly ever talk about it,but I hurt when I hear about reckless speeders and drunks and have no use for them. I saw a number of patients, too in my career that were victims of such accidents. The thought of Kate with 8 kids being so reckless and selfish makes my blood boil!
Kate has so much and doesn't show any gratefulness for her kids, family , just for herself. She also thinks laws do not apply to her.Life is so short; I hope she wakes up in time to appreciate her life and be a Mom to those kids.
Here I go ranting again.Judy, I understood your post! Hope you feel better soon, hon.Take care.
Lake Up North, I spent 8 weeks in the I.C.U, total of 15 weeks in the hospital,from my experiences, I would NEVER, EVER be okay with an awful,cold nurse like kate gosselin!Though I was paralyzed, they would have been reading my lips double-time!
Someone mentioned about kate maybe allowing Mady and Cara living with Jon in the future. Remember it's always Mady comforting the boy tups when Khate get into her rages, or like when Ashley left, it was Mady comforting the little boy. I think the tups would be lost and frightened if Mady left.
Teresa,
Yes, I always thought Paul was the cutest and best singer in the Beatles. I saw him perform a couple of years ago in this old skating/hockey rink and it was the best.
I'm showing my age now, but, my Dad got me a 45 record of The Beatles song, "I want to hold your hand." I still have it, nothing to play it on, though! Yes, he did write that song for me ,too! sigh.......
Hey Jude...here's Paul, just for you hon....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RFcd7PqYVU&feature=player_detailpage
I had also heard Jon say that she had 11 accounts, but from what I heard elsewhere, there were trust funds for each of the kids, an account just for maintenance on the properties (they lived in the new house, but also still had the E-town house--that is either one account or one for each of the properties) and the one she claimed he took all the money out of. And the money in each account would have to be disclosed in the divorce, so it's not like he wouldn't get his share of all of them (except the kids' trusts).
I wonder, though...they were reported to make about $75,000 per episode of J&K+8, but it turns out that they only made $22,500 per episode. Maybe her earnings for K+8 are also inflated. The $250,000 number is more than 10 times what they made before. I can't see TLC agreeing to that. Even then, she would pay about half in taxes (she also has to pay taxes on ALL her freebies, at the highest tax rate). And her manager takes a percentage, plus 15% for the kids. So what she actually got was nowhere near the full amount. More like 30%.
Then she has huge expenses--I read that the payments on the house were $9,000 per month, plus property taxes and insurance, lawn maintenance, pool maintenance, and upkeep.Jon said that TLC paid their utilities at the E-town house, so maybe they paid their utilities at the new house. We'll give her that one. She had the kids' tuition--reportedly more than $130,000 per year, plus she used to have 2 nannies, a housekeeper, cook, and her "security". And she has been in court A LOT in the past two years, which is expensive. Massive expenses. I just don't see how she could have stashed away much money.
I said Jon said Kate had 11 different accounts. Sorry, the rest of that post was my opinion.

____________________________________________
Some people just aren't meant to be nurses, really. In my line of work over 17 years there is always at least one who is just so difficult to deal with. Poor lady came in to have a tumor removed, the nurse she had was just the unkindest woman imaginable it was awful. You never leave a patient in discomfort nor tell them to just suck it up. People, real people are in pain every day.
Kate may think she's suited for a life as a nurse but truthfully I just don't see it. She has someone else bandage her kid if I remember once, she's the mother! You don't bitch and moan about things like that you just don't. I can't see Kate returning to work as a nurse, any other field (aside from media) might suit her.
prairiemary I hope you have since had better experience, nurses do care and they should, if they don't then they don't belong simple as that.
One thing to think about--I read during the divorce that the kids' money was in revocable trust. That means that the money is still part of the grantor's (Kate's, probably) estate, and passes to them after her death. If that is accurate, then the grantor (Kate) has access to the kids' money. And that is scary. The same article said that the house and van were included in the kids' trusts. She could be taking the money out of their trusts for all the expenses related to "THEIR" house. You know she won't reduce her lifestyle until she has gone through all of her money AND theirs, if she has access. I hope and pray that Jon is also listed as grantor on their trusts, so he can stop her if she tries to do that.

@Kateplusmy8 I HAVE AN IDEA! You help me with my Girls' events which will free me up and I will help with your personal assistant stuff!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Has anyone ever seen such a butt-kisser? Seriously? This woman is desperate and more than just a bit "off." Kate can't be so stupid that she can't recognize this for what it is - leeching.
I remember taking my daughter to a concert a few years ago, and the band was supposed to take the stage at 8 p.m. There was a warm-up (I hate warm-ups, unless it's Gary Mule Deer who opens for Johnny Mathis). Anyway, this particular warm-up was bad, really bad. They just kept on and on and on for one hour. After each song, we thought it was going to be the end. Finally, in exasperation, my daughter turned to me and said, "They just won't stop, will they? This will go on forever." It sounded so funny at the time.
This reminds me so much of Brownie. She just won't stop!
OT, but this kind of fits with the jazz cows!

Has anybody seen the sales figures for the last (hopefully) People Magazine cover? I found plenty on line re: the poor sales of her other People cover(s)but not the current one. Which leads me to the question of how Kate Coyne continues to be able to put Katie Irene's sorry a-- on the cover and keep her job when it doesn't sell. Seems to me that both Kates need a new job.

Teresa,
You are such a sweetie, thanks for that link to Paul.It was awesome, they had one of him singing it when he was younger and his face fills up the screen! Wow, I'm in Heaven now...oh, the memories, kinda lost some time there, had to repeat it a few times.
Hippie chick - you should really go and see this link, your hero is on there ,click on his pic and the young Beatles sing "hey Jude'.I guess you know how,stupid me, anyway go see this! Sorry, so OT.
One of the comments under it said,"his eyes could make a straight male gay!" (Paul)
amyf,
Thanks, that was really sweet, made me all veclempt. That's how Mom's are supposed to be with babies!
Jude
I saw the one you're talking about AFTER l sent the one to you. I was kicking myself for not seeing that first. Whoaaaa, those green eyes! He's super-cute alright. but l was a George gal.
Paul often bikes around NYC - alone! No body guards for him but her highness HAS to have one!
Teresa,
It's always the unimportant ones who think we all really give a shit about them. The real celebrities just carry on living their lives and appreciating their fans.
I never understood why Kate has a body-guard, people run the other way when they see that cocoa-puff coming,if she's alone. I could see having protection for the kids, not her. She would have to kick people out of the bathrooms all by herself!
She is so important that we can not pass water in her presence; she might catch something from us little people! Horrors!
Jude, John Lennon didn't have a guard either. Always took a walk around Central Park, signed autographs for his fans. Just regular guys. Pity about the one crazy fan that shot him, bodyguards could never stop the crazies even if John had a platoon of them.
And her highness doesn't need one anyway, it's the kids that need protection - from her!
There's something happening in October regarding John...a rememberance of sorts l think.
Teresa.
I heard John was good with his fans, always made time for and appreciated them. I would have loved to have been at one of his sit- ins! I just couldn't handle that Yoko- she was wierd!
Hippie chick likes John Lennon, you like George, I like Paul, so we need someone for Ringo! Damn, Paul looks good for 68...His voice is going tho, a little.I guess he has the right, he's been singing for so long!
Kate has no talents and wants us to like her because? Her bubble is going to burst one day soon, if she doesn't smarten up.Where do you live, if you don't mind me asking? Are we the only ones up?
@hey jude
No you two aren't the only ones up. If you don't mind the very pregnant lady jumping in here. But I haven't slept in a month so it won't bother me. My dad always played John Lennon and occasionally Ringo always in our house. But more I think about it the more I recall 1960s bluegrass jazz. You know on those big old-time speakers. They still work too.
But you are right, Kate's circus is going to come crashing down in the heap if she isn't careful and it won't be pretty. But you know what, I have no sympathy because she created it all on her own, she can certainly clean it up all on her own.
I think Kate pissed off Milo and Jack:

Milo (Fired Up for Kate) is the one that just has serious surgery and a near death experience. If you take away the the 2 LOL's from the smarty pants remark I think it did upset them that Kate tweeted that totally insensitive remark about Milo having surgery and being serious ill.
I love this blog...so many very wise people.BUT...I have to ask why do you care about what Kate says? So what....if she has a new site to go to.This new site dosent include the kids ( other than pictures).This is kate trying to hold on to whatever she can.
I have seen many here who said they went and looked at this web-site. WHY??? Who cares?Why do you feel the need to look?Like Kates twitters.....who the heck cares?This is nothing but kate trying to hold on to something.If we "{haters) not haters ...dont respond...she will get what? 100 hits? Do you really care about what she says...or wears...or her menu for the week?I sure dont.
I'm glad this woman is off TV...that means the kids are OFF tv.Let kate do what ever...I wont add to her ratings NO matter what!
I really hope we dont talk about kates new blog...I really could care less.
If this blog is gonna focus on this ...then its time for me to go!I refuse to search the web for anything kate...I wont look at any pictures...Its time to say good-bye. She put her foot in her big-ass mouth...She should be a NON-issue now!
Her free ride from TLC is over.By BY kate....I just hope the kids will get the help they need so BADLY!
On Access Hollywood Billy Bush (Kate lover) was interviewing Linda Stasi from the New York Post about reality tv. Billy said to do reality tv you have to have the "shameless gene". And then Linda said the following: I mean who would want to be followed around 24/7. Who would want to jeopardize their children in that way? Kate Gosselin has completely taken any kind of privacy and dignity away from her children. I am sorry, it's about time somebody said something about how terrible it all has become. We're celebrating the worst of us.
I cant even grasp how people can compair John Lennon to this wench kate.John fought for his beliefs.This is making kates head swell.She is NO where near a true celeb.John fought to end wars...to find peace...kate cares ONLY about making money.John would have NEVER lived off the backs of his children!!!
Kate isnt even a Yoko....kate never had a clue.Kate is willing to do anything as long as she has to do nothing!Make the kids work...Make the kids work for thier cars...When the twins and tups reach the driving age ...Kate says...they will need to get jobs...Dosent matter that they ALL have WORKED for over 5 years.They need to get it on thier own. What a puke??
Kate?? Even your PAID help has left you...jamie and ashley...
Funny how jamie only wears the necklace when you are togather.You wont let her have it if she isnt with you? That says alot.
Kate...you are NO star...you are a PUKE.I hope Jon takesz you to court and wins!
Teresa and Lake,
I'll go out on a limb here and say we can't talk about the Beatles anymore, I guess!

@ Pink. ITA with your comments above. As well as Kate being loaded I also believe she has money :-))
I am a bit behind so if someone else with web experience has posted this already I apologize.
One way that advertisers (and others) can see how a website is really doing is alexa.
Here is Kate's Alexa Profile
Now because the site is so new there really isn't a lot of information available on the site yet. So let's take a look at another site that has been running for a while and has regular traffic for comparison.
15 Minutes Alexa Profile
Looking at the profile for this site you get a better idea what kind of things can be shown at Alexa. If you look at the summary at the top (you may have to click see more) you can see it notes that the site has a relative good traffic rank in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.
If you click on the Audience tab, you get a breakdown of demographics that you didn't get with Kate's site because it's too new.
There are search analytics offered there as well.
Obviously, any serious advertiser is going to want more exact/detailed figures, but alexa is a good jumping off point. There are other similar sites as well.
Starz22, I totally agree. I refuse to even take a quick peek at her website. As delusional as she is she will consider every hit a fan. The more we talk about it the more popular it will get.

Noticed this morning that the @kateplusmy8 Twitter feed, as shown on Twazzup, is down to 10 tweets per hour, an all-time low. It would be so great if the haters would back away and let the feed die down. As much as I understand what they're saying as well as their anger and disgust at Kate, it just continues to give her attention - and spurs the idiot fans into tweeting even more.
Jane, the Twitter feed is probably way down because all the fools are emailing her now.

----------------------
I agree. The tweets from the non fans are working just the opposite of what they intend. It has created even more sympathy for Kate and the fans have dug their heels in even further in their 'defense' and support of her. I wish they could just see that.
Kate has been gifted so many things. I think she got free washers/dryers, a refrigerator, those crooked houses, other appliances, gym equipment maybe? What I'm saying is she didn't have to buy any of this crap, unlike us, the regular ole mediocre folk.
She has had all these opportunities & NOW I think she realizes she is screwed. No more free gifts, no more product placement, no more free food, no more craft service, BUT she still thinks it is OK to spend spend spend.
In her twisted little mind, she will BE back. So she keeps spending. And of course there's the whole thing about her having a ton of cha-ching still. She will spend all that money until it's gone. She is so new money. Oh, Kate, lie all you want about being broke, people see right through you. You are still loaded, but not for long!

Thanks for that site link. Very interesting. The stats for this site is pretty cool.
"Based on internet averages, realitytvkids.com is visited more frequently by females who are in the age range 45-54, have children, are college educated and browse this site from home."

I love this blog...so many very wise people.BUT...I have to ask why do you care about what Kate says? So what....if she has a new site to go to.This new site dosent include the kids ( other than pictures).This is kate trying to hold on to whatever she can.
I have seen many here who said they went and looked at this web-site. WHY??? Who cares?Why do you feel the need to look?Like Kates twitters.....who the heck cares?This is nothing but kate trying to hold on to something.If we "{haters) not haters ...dont respond...she will get what? 100 hits? Do you really care about what she says...or wears...or her menu for the week?I sure dont.
I'm glad this woman is off TV...that means the kids are OFF tv.Let kate do what ever...I wont add to her ratings NO matter what!"
----------------------
Stars22 While I will not visit her sad little site, and won't contribute to the count, I do look at the twitter feed, because it is entertaining to me. You have always insisted on telling us what to do or not to do. "Dont' comment' etc, while you ARE commenting here. If you don't want to do something, fine, but it would be nice to stop directing people what to look at and what not to look at. Suggestions, sure. But I would appreciate it if you would just stop demanding that people do it your way. Thanks.

On Access Hollywood Billy Bush (Kate lover) was interviewing Linda Stasi from the New York Post about reality tv. Billy said to do reality tv you have to have the "shameless gene"."
-----------
Maggie that is what I don't understand about Billy Bush. He loves Kate, says all the terrible things he says about Jon, then says stuff like this to someone else. He is just as phony as anyone else, talking out both sides of his mouth.

I cant even grasp how people can compair John Lennon to this wench kate.John fought for his beliefs.This is making kates head swell.She is NO where near a true celeb.John fought to end wars...to find peace...kate cares ONLY about making money.John would have NEVER lived off the backs of his children!!!
Kate isnt even a Yoko....kate never had a clue.Kate is willing to do anything as long as she has to do nothing!Make the kids work...Make the kids work for thier cars...When the twins and tups reach the driving age ...Kate says...they will need to get jobs...Dosent matter that they ALL have WORKED for over 5 years.They need to get it on thier own. What a puke??
Kate?? Even your PAID help has left you...jamie and ashley...
Funny how jamie only wears the necklace when you are togather.You wont let her have it if she isnt with you? That says alot.
Kate...you are NO star...you are a PUKE.I hope Jon takesz you to court and wins!
-------------------------------
I have to agree with you about the WHOLE John Lennon thing. I haven't read anything, but is this what is going on?
NO! Please don't ever put John Lennon & *her* in the same sentence!!!

I think Kate pissed off Milo and Jack:"
---------
Maggie I don't Kate could piss off Milo if she called her a redneck cracker and cursed her kids. Milo is in LOVE with Kate. over the top, in LOVE with Kate. LOL Remember she is the one sending her the Target Gift card, since she is 'worried sick' about Kate being unemployed.
I read the other posts, they were fine. Chill out Starz22!! Nobody was comparing John Lennon to that thing....
Beatles discussions are TOTALLY OK by me!!!!
~Hippie Chick~
So what....if she has a new site to go to.This new site dosent include the kids ( other than pictures).This is kate trying to hold on to whatever she can.
____________
And that's what is so pathetic about the whole thing - Kate trying to hold on to whatever she can. That's why people blog. That's one of the concerns - that these kids are never going to get a break no matter what. Their privacy is still being invaded.
I totally agree with Regrets. Whenever you pop up here, it's not to add to the discussion or to comment on a recent happening, or to express concerns about kids on reality television. It's to tell the bloggers what NOT to do, or to question bloggers motives. You've already stated that you won't click on the website. Many of us won't either, I'm sure. I haven't because I don't care.
I'm not sure what your point is. Is it to convince people not to hit the website, or just to stop posting in general? This seems so contradictory because you obviously are reading the posts and you know that some here have gone to the website. If you're that adamant, then make a clean break. Don't read the blogs, don't read Twitter, don't look at the website, and don't post here telling others what not to do.
I seriously doubt if non-fans taking one look at the site is going to be enough to bring it down. If Kate wants to have a website, fine, that's her choice. I give it about six months. She's going to find out how difficult it is to maintain, and she's going to be so exhausted just trying to keep it fresh and up to date.
What I object to is once again using her kids to keep them out there. Let her run her own Kate's Take website and just keep the kids off of it.
Hippie Chick, exactly I think that was totally misunderstood about the conversation about John Lennon.

AmyF that was so cute. I loved the jazz cows too, thanks Amy and Pink. I love videos like this.

------------
Thanks. And I agree. Even keeping the fans updated on the kids complete with pictures, she is STILL using the kids. She knows she is nothing without them. I was hoping for ONCE they would be out of the public eye. But of course she can't do this. WHY not make it a 'kate gosselin' site? She is just such a user.
George Harrison was definitely THE CUTEST! (War on, HC? lol)
MARIE...Then she has huge expenses--I read that the payments on the house were $9,000 per month, plus property taxes and insurance, lawn maintenance, pool maintenance, and upkeep.Jon said that TLC paid their utilities at the E-town house, so maybe they paid their utilities at the new house. We'll give her that one. She had the kids' tuition--reportedly more than $130,000 per year, plus she used to have 2 nannies, a housekeeper, cook, and her "security". And she has been in court A LOT in the past two years, which is expensive. Massive expenses. I just don't see how she could have stashed away much money."
-----------------
The figure I have seen the most of the house note is 5K a month. Also she was copying some papers at Kinkos a year or so ago and one paper showed 76K for the tuition. I don't think the figures are clearly known. I really do not think that tuition is as high as you quote. She said she has one 'girl' who does laundry and one full time babysitter 4 days a week now. But who knows? She could have twice that and is lying. Whatever she pays, she has the money, IMO. And I really do think that she does not have a worry in the world about money at this point. Also TV guide was the source of the 250K per episode, and I have always found them credible in the past regarding the salaries of reality people and/or stars in general. They are not a rag mag. I believe she has made that much per episode. Plus the money she made on her fist book was pretty substantial. Even her second did ok at first, then bombed completely when people saw it was nothing but a scrapbook of pictures that we had seen before. But she did make some money on that too. DWTS pay, the guest appearances, the speaking fees. It all adds up. Kate is NOT broke. IMO
I haven't been to Kate's site since the first day and I didn't notice a counter that day (there may have been one, but I did not see one when I was there).
Based on the comments about the counter, I would bet that it is set up to count PAGE LOADS rather than UNIQUE VISITS.
That is a good way to boost your stat counter numbers quickly because any time a page is loaded it ticks the counter over one and it doesn't matter who does it (ie: they don't have to be unique visitors).
So Kate, Paige and Milo could sit there all day just hitting refresh on a page and it would tick the counter over each time they do that.
I don't care enough to go look at the counter and see if the webmaster has it set so you can pull any info out of it (I would guess not, but since it's such a shoddy operation, you never know if they didn't make the stats public on accident or something lol).
I know that Kate is NOT smart in the business sense, she has proven that over and over. BUT I do KNOW from all past reports of her, and her own big mouth she IS cheap.
She has gotten so many freebies. The stockpile she had in her basement - the cleaning products alone, cost a lot, they were sponsors on the show. MANY things that add up in our life, she has gotten for free. So she had not even had to spend money on the common products that we all buy.
She is cheap, and I still say she is loaded. LOL
My best song of George Harrison was "MY Sweet Lord" Loved it!
Just Me
You KNOW that the fans will 'help' in any way they can. They will do anything to promote her. I have no doubts if the count is unusually high, they ARE helping. Just look at all the dead accounts on twitter that 'follow' her. LOL

I love that too~ My all time favorite song is still John Lennon's "Imagine" I put that song on most of the CD's we make. :)

Love not War!!! I'm sketching George, & he is quite a cutie! I've always been partial to John though...they are all cute in their own ways-especially John! Is anyone here into Ringo? He's quirky! And the way he played those drums were quite sexy!

She has had all these opportunities & NOW I think she realizes she is screwed. No more free gifts, no more product placement, no more free food, no more craft service, BUT she still thinks it is OK to spend spend spend.
_______________________________________________
That's why Kate is so freaked out. Because, shocking news--she has to actually pay for something! Actually did into her, "poor me, but I'm broke," pocket and pay for a trip, an item, food and trips. Gee, if the rest of us can do it, pity, how will she ever get by in this world? I have no sympathy. Not one bit.
Sun, October 9, 2011 Remember Jon Lennon's 71st birthday. So sad he's gone.
Warmth Of The Sun said...This reminds me so much of Brownie. She just won't stop!"
I swear that woman reminds of my kids when they were little. "Can I" "Can I" "Can I" "Can I"
"Give me" "Give me" "Give me" "Give me" DRIVES ME UP A WALL!! If she still tweets this stuff, imagine what the emails are like. LOL
