"The children are so accustomed to the camera that they're going to need affirmation," said Robert Galinsky, actor, writer and founder of The New York Reality TV School. "The camera will no longer be there to shine a light on them, and that light was never authentic anyway — it was just there to suck the life from these children. They're going to seek other ways to be fulfilled."
And Dr. Russell Hyken of St. Louis, a psychologist specializing in education and a former teacher, had this to say: "When children are showered with attention because they're on TV, that creates behavioral problems because they become more attention-seeking."
Even Galinsky, who makes a living trying to get people on reality television, thinks the industry should be regulated: "Reality TV took the entertainment industry by surprise. No one could have predicted that it would last this long, with no end in sight. Guidelines have to be drawn up at some point to protect these kids, because there's nothing now."

You can see why I blame myself. Please try not to judge me. I think God is judging me every minute of every day.

Lake, sadly some very young kids HAVE committed suicide but it almost always makes huge news and there are almost always other factors involved, such as kids on psychotropic drugs or in foster care. It happens but it's extremely rare. I can not find one case of a very young suicide being attributed to bullying. Kids that young just don't make that kind of leap. Often it's a mentally ill child who wants to hurt himself due to mental illness, but is not really thinking WHY they want to kill themselves as an older child does.
========================
Admin, here's one sad example from my area a couple of years ago, so it does happen. Unless 11 is what you were considering an older child...still way too young, of course. :-(
from NECN.com
A mother whose 11-year-old son took his own life this week is speaking out. She says her son, Carl Joseph Walker Hoover, was constantly bullied at school in the weeks leading up to his death. Sirdeander Walker: I called his name and he didn't respond. So I went upstairs to get Carl -- and um. I found him, you know. I found him. My baby. What happened to 44-year old Sirdeaner walker is any parent’s worst nightmare. On Monday evening, she found her 11-year old son, Carl, dead in his bedroom. He had committed suicide by hanging himself with an extension cord.
KathyB, as I was reading your post, I was thinking that today is the anniversary of my mother's death.
She's been gone 23 years. It gets easier. You'll laugh again. You'll be happy again. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this rough time.
And there you have it. Life's most important questions asked and answered by Kart on her website: How tall are you? How much do you weigh? What size do you wear? Next week, Kart will answer what her shoe size is, the size of her head, what her measurements are, what size her implants are, and the name of her plastic surgeon.
In many states, child support is AUTOMATICALLY ordered to be withheld from the paying parent's wages, even if there are no arrears and they are willing to pay.
I just looked up what the law is in PA and it's not mandatory if there is no arrears, but this is how we know that there is NOT a 100k-300k arrearage (aside from common sense).
(bolding mine)
In Pennsylvania, income-withholding is mandatory for all child support orders, except when: (1) the obligor is not behind in payment of support in an amount equal to or more than one month's support payment; and (2) if the court finds that there is good cause not to require immediate income withholding; or (3) a written agreement is reached between the custodial parent and the noncustodial parent, which provides for an alternative arrangement. An income-withholding order is not used for self-employed noncustodial parents. The court will issue a mandatory income-withholding order if arrears accrue in an amount equal to one month's support obligation even if good cause has been shown or there is a written agreement not to impose income-withholding. A petition to modify the child support order may be filed by either party to a support action if a material change in circumstances has taken place. One example of a material change is the loss or change of income or employment by either party. The Domestic Relations Section (DRS) of your county court is responsible for determining whether or not a material change in circumstances has occurred. To file a Modification Petition, contact the DRS that manages your case, and request a petition for modification, complete the petition and return it to the DRS. The DRS will advise you of its determination and if and when a hearing will occur.
So even if Jon had been paying (or as some claim TLC was paying for him) and then he got his 'mediocre' job, if he fell behind more than 1 month the court would have ordered that his wages were garnished each month and that money would have been taken out before he even saw it.
KathyB, I'm sorry for the loss of your mom.
I realize I am feeding the trolls, but Saddest - how dare you use a story you found on the internet and claim it as your own. Samantha Kubrskia was someones child, not a tool for you to try to prove your authenticity. She also died almost two years ago, and she had three sisters, no brother, and wasnt a twin. Those facts were easily found on the internet. Her family also lives an hour from me, so even though you think the Internet is huge and anonymous, it is always possible you will run across someone who actually is acquainted with the people you're claiming to be.
Kuberski. Sorry, fingers crossed in my anger that someone is using this child's name.
One other fact that didnt add up is the lack of bullying in Samantha's story. Which is it, Saddest, was it bullying or your fault?
Gordon R. vs Kate G. == "you don't know how to teach me."
So the tweets at the top of this page say that Kate's new website has been keeping her busy. Has she added anything besides a few self-absorbed answers to some self-absorbed questions she made up? How long does it take to type out what you obsess about all day every day? Maybe 5 minutes, tops?
i read that there were 3 sisters in the house at the time of the suicide along with the mother. are they in counseling as well? was this your story that you shared or someone else's? i did not find anything relating to a twin brother or bullying. it is a very devastating story to read. i do know in the past people have posted stories of tragedy and after becoming emotionally invested in these stories we found them to be false. i also understand admins hesitation to automatically take every word we all post as true. this blog..even though it is very much in support of help for children sometimes isn't the best place to share stories such as these because of the following. 1. - it could set off hinky meters and 2. we never know when we are being sold someone else's story. 3. it can be a bit heavy for people to absorb. 4. some of the facts are not lining up so it is hard to take.
all that aside..i honestly hope that you felt that by taking time to share this story was to warn us that kids CAN and DO feel things in this day and age that we cannot always comprehend.
i believe this blog was made to speak out to protect the gosselin 8 of the dangers of putting such high demands and pressures on them by making them reality stars at such a young age. we do call out kate for her behavior but we never bully her children. any comment like that is swiftly removed.we here are just frustrated that the children were allowed to be filmed (with absolutely no protection from their parents or the state of PA) being shown in states of nudity, meltdowns and discipline. young actors have many laws governing their work but nothing has been set as law for these young "reality stars". i personally feel that is even more dangerous than child actors because this is their real life..they are not playing a character. they are being viewed and judged on themselves! it was shocking to find websites dedicated to bullying maddy gosselin by ADULTS. it was even more shocking that kate insisted on continuing filming the kids after this info came to light. this is the very core of why people here are considered "haters". we hate what these kids have been exposed to because this is the 1st generations of child reality stars and there is no way yet to determine the long term effects on their development. we really feel that being reality child stars is inappropriate. these kids were not just in "walk by" scenes. the show was built around them! and books were written by kate sharing the kids very personal feelings and her feelings toward them. the comments she made were not very appropriate. she even labeled a "favorite child". we now have people crying over not being able to "see them grow" and a mother sobbing that her kids are devastated by not filming to the tune she is sharing her children feel the cancellation was "worse than a death". i believe firmly kate's kids should be in therapy to help them cope with their new reality and the possible bullying that will accompany their futures. not to mention..these kids may blame themselves for the cancellation and mommy's depression and who knows where that can lead.
the point of child suicide when thought of in the way that i posted makes me see why you would want to alert others to the dangers..IF that was your intention.
again. i am sorry if you had a child commit suicide and felt judged by it. it's just tough when the things posted don't match up to the story that was researched. it's just really hard at 1st post to take someone's word at face value when it comes to posts on a site that focuses on kate and her kids. it is always a 1st suggestion to ask if their is counseling for the situation. we don't want to be irresponsible for not addressing that important need.
i wish i knew what the original post said but since i do not i cannot comment on the context of it. these are just my thoughts on this situation.

Kate treats the tups like they're 4yrs.old and even calls them toddlers!
---------------
Recently?
--------------------
In the RV episode she called them "preschoolers", not once but twice. I have not heard her refer to them as toddlers. But I haven't watched since the divorce, so I many have missed that. She does treat them much younger than they are. "Say goodbye Mr. Kiwi Man" "Hello Mr Giraffe" and all that nonsense adds to the treatment. She won't let them decide even the smallest choices, to help them develop their own decision making abilities. That control again. The food control issue, bothers me a lot. I have read articles that point to the fact as her treating them like much younger children, as well.
From what I could tell,the counter on her website adds 5 hits every second. How misleading!!! Leave it to Kate. Nothing is real in her reality world. Thanks to those that answered my post about the hits. I thought it seemed fishy.

Thank you for the kind remark. I enjoy your posts, as well.
While watching Dateline last night on TLC, (must be some partnership between TLC and NBC thus her appearances on Today), there was a Lowe's commercial with a snippet from from the old house's laundry room and Kate. It just showed Kate and her organized laundry room and then it showed a Lowe's and the announcer said this was a "organizational hint" from Lowe's, not saying you could buy that particular product there mind you. So I'm guessing that TLC, who has exclusive rights to the filming, are using these snippets in some deal with Lowe's and Kate won't see a penny. Now there's karma!

One of the 'facts' they claim is that Jon is behind in child support from 100K to 300K. LOL

The link from the other thread from Wendy Williams, Kate told Windy Jon was good with his child support.
September 17, 2011 4:23 PM"

Yes, she did tell Wendy that. Strange how she says this stuff OFF CAMERA. If Jon were behind in child support, how the heck would these fans know it anyway, much less the amount he is allegedly behind. Ridiculous 'fact'.
I am still thinking of this 'celebration' of the show ending. That is odd how she did that with the children. IF they are all so sad, why make it a 'celebration'? It just doesn't make sense to me. She makes no sense in most things.
I still have not seen this Lowe's commercial. I don't know why they keep ramping her up as this organizational wizard. LOL She makes lists? She has laundry divided up by kids names? Ok the house is tidy, she has a housekeeper too. Many of us keep a tidy home. NO ONE is that organized if they forget things constantly. Sorry, but they just aren't.
This remark by a fan, about what Jaime said in the finale just got my boggled once again. Kate's trying to make a living in media work which is FAR BROADER than Angelina??? My gawd. LOL Do they even KNOW who Angelina is??
"Jamie doesn't seem to comprehend that Kate is trying to make a living in media work which is a far broader than Angelina Jolie."
This remark by a fan, about what Jaime said in the finale just got my boggled once again
Should read "got my MIND boggled once again" SEE? They DO boggle my mind. LOL

==========================
Oh another 'fact' they 'only' post about Jon on twitter, eh? This certainly won't hurt the kids if they see this, right? Like all the hate tweets to Kate will hurt the kids, right? This was sent to Kate also, I bet she does NOT respond to this at all. It is a real shame she lets these strangers on the internet do this. And she agrees with them too when they diss him. Like she lets them say things about Ashley and Jaime and she agrees. Shameful woman. Not loyal to a damn person at all. Not even her children.

___________________________
I think Kate is sick to death of her tweeties. We said it would happen eventually. The website gives her the perfect excuse to stay away from Twitter. And her tweeties are too dense to figure it out.
Kate isn't working on the website. She doesn't have the know-how. She's answered 5 questions and blogged one announcement. And she's not been answering emails because the tweeties keep asking when they'll get an email. I have to laugh! I wonder when the fans will catch on that she's not tweeting OR maintaining the website.
I forgot to mention Kate still has not make a hyperlink to the website on her Twitter. If you cruise around Twitter you'll seen tons of tweeters who have hyperlinks to their websites, etc. and yet Kate can't even get that accomplished.

Someone asked Kate about that. She said if she makes a hyperlink, she loses her 'verified' status. I don't know much about twitter, but if she does lose it, what it the big deal of being verified again?
I think initially Kate and her helpers were organized when the tups were babies. Now she admits she has a "girl" come in to do laundry. Interesting that when she came back from the RV trip she made a show of the big pile of laundry she had to do (dumped on the floor) and how it took days to do . She is a phoney. Shame on Lowe's for using Kate in their commercial even if it was a clip.
Mary Ann,
I am so sorry about your loss as well.
I'm not a big religious person, but I talk to the Big Man a lot, & I'll ask that he watch over both Kathy's & your mom, & you.

I saw her tweet that and wondered the same thing. Even with her verified status new tweeters ask if it's really her. But to Kate, if being "verified" equals "important" she's not going to risk losing it.
What's funny is the non-fans are giving out the wrong URL and then the fans have to tweet back the correct one or Kate does. IF Kate had a brain she'd realize having the hyperlink on her Twitter page would solve a lot of that problem. Isn't the website the place she really wants her fans to go?? Shaking my head at her stupidity.

I know there's a box where one can include their website URL on their profile page. Is it the same process for verified tweeters? If that's all it is, Kate is just beyond stupid.
While we all worry about those adorable children, we have to remember that JON is there for them! From the beginning he has had an easy going manner, kindness, and more importantly unconditional love for them. Hopefully he has a handle on everything.
Question- AFTER YEARS OF WATCHING THIS MESS- WHY ARE THERE NO HIGH POWERED ATTORNIES CONTACTING JON AND OFFERING TO HELP GET THOSE KIDS IN HIS CARE FULL TIME????
I'm not verified on twitter, but I always put a hyperlink on my twitter to my blog & get tons of hits from there. Although, I've been bad & haven't blogged much, bad week.
So, I haven't been over to see Kate's new site & don't plan on it. I agree with the posters who say she's moving away from twitter. It's boring her now. She wants NO more interaction with her 5 die-hard fans.
She won't answer emails. There will be TONS of hate mail, she'll be spamming left & right. She can get IP's, if she's smart & block them, but that will take time. Even then, people can use proxy's or public computers.
She's in for a heap of crap with this site. And the q&a? LAME. She made them up. It's obvious.
~Hippie Chick~
Kate was referring to adding the hyperlink to her profile, whatever you call it, on twitter. Where she has "I am joining Twitter, my kids will be shocked?" Is that true? Does it knock off the verified?
I know there's a box where one can include their website URL on their profile page. Is it the same process for verified tweeters? If that's all it is, Kate is just beyond stupid.
Exactly. Under information. She can add her website. I've done this as well.

How would we know what's going on with Jon's private life and I'm not sure reputable attorneys contact people offering help in changing custody arrangements.
I'm surprised, Kate's actually right. If you change your profile like adding a link you'll lose your verified status:
"For security reasons, changes made to your profile, specifically your username, email address, or website, result in the loss of the badge. We check regularly for lost badges and reinstate them constantly. No need to write in, we’ll see them automatically!"
But they said they'll check it and reverify you! What, her ego can't stand going without being unverified a few days?
Be wary of trolls, very wary......we sniffed that one out like a bloodhound.
There's nothing that prevents you from using hyperlinks in tweets though that I can find.
Kate only started on Twitter as a ratings ploy for her show. Now that the show is over, she has no use for Twitter or for her 8 fans. The sheeple are too ignorant to realize this.
Kate said being 'unverified" would cause a huge 'uproar' LOL
Also, even though Kate wants to terminate Jon's parental rights, why would you assume Jon wants to do the same to the children's mother whom the children love?
Rather he may be more interested in sharing the children, as that is probably in their best interest in his view, to see lots of both Mommy AND Daddy.
Uproar? Yes in the Gosselin house for sure, I'd fear for the kids!
Joan Crawford like meltdown: I need to be verified, verified, verified!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not mad at you I'm mad at the verifid!!!!
LOL Well, you KNOW she is important and ALL the people would asking and asking if this is the REAL Kate and everyone would be just SO upset, blah blah bladity blah!
EVERYTHING is such a huge ordeal. Someone said that in a post recently. It is SO TRUE. Every single thing is such a hardship, cause such a problem, makes her so exhausted, so tired, the website is keeping HER soooooo busy. She needs an assistant with ALL her paperwork. Poor kate!
I forgot 'with her unusually stressed life" Unusually stressed? LOL No one else has the stress this one has. No one else has the problems she has. No one else raises kids. No one else has 'helpers/friends' who are overly dramatic. Everyone leaves her life. She has just so much more to do than anyone in the whole world.
So off to make the "Monday Menu"!!! That has to be VERY hard for her. Oh my, it is adding even MORE work to this overworked mommy of 8.
Admin, thanks for the verification info.

Colossal, gigantic, enormous, earth shattering, monumental, catastrophic, cataclysmic! Oh, the humanity! Kate must NOT lose her verification, not even for a moment, let alone an hour...a day!! The stars would lose their twinkle, the sun would lose it's shine, the birds would lose their chirps if Kate lost her verification.
Does anyone out there actually think that Kate knows what a verified status is? Thanks for the explanation, and if it gets restored so quickly, then there is no excuse for her not using the hyperlink. She just doesn't get it. I don't think Ms. Organized can actually multitask, so if she's twitting, it's Twitter, and if she's checking her website (which I have no desire to do myself), it's the website - don't think she can go back and forth. At least she can carry the Twitter phone around with her, I have this image of her locked in her dungeon on the computer while her twins are now making breakfast, lunch and dinner. Piece of work.
Remember last year when Kate said that she was at "my first Emmy's"?
Y'all suppose that this year she'll be at her 2nd Emmy's?

OF COURSE!! You are SO insensitive! Gawd forbid! LOL
Many years ago when I was just starting my family, our dear neighbor who was in her 80's said to me, "you cannot put a grown-up's head on a kid's shoulders." Listen up, Kate. We all know you have tried to use your kids to the point of distraction. They did not appear to be sad at the end of their show. You tried to plant that act, but it didn't take. Visibly sad when leaving Daddy in the driveway. Visibly sad when Ashley left the RV trip. End of the show, not really. This is all very telling and should give fan and foe alike better insight.

Haha Mel funny a fan just asked her that the other day. She did NOT answer btw. She was there to be made fun of last year, maybe someone else will need her for a joke. LOL
I don't understand the verified comment. I follow a handful of celebs (real ones) on twitter, so I just went to look at their profiles and every single one of them that offers a URL has it listed as a hyperlink.
These are all celebs that have the precious blue verified check mark.
So I'm going to call BS on whatever she is saying.
It could be she has to RE-verify if she makes a profile change, but if that was the case, you would think it would be true of any profile change.
Maybe she doesn't know how to make it a hyperlink and doesn't want to say so lol
Grammy of nine
This is what makes me soooo angry. She uses those kids for anything to garner sympathy, to excuse why she failed at DTWS even, no matter what she is doing, she USES them. Look how many times she mentioned those kids on DWTS? Every single minute she could. One article written about her then, said. OK KATE WE GET YOU HAVE KIDS, so do almost everyone who is on the show! LOL She is just disgusting. She is NOTHING without those kids, and she knows it.
I noticed no one has asked about 'Twisted Kate' at all. Weird. When asked about the show being cancelled, she claimed they were BOTH still filming and not cancelled and that was just recently, within the past 5 months.
Yes, I know DWTS was awhile ago, but it still sticks in my craw her crying and whining on there. I recently ran across some old articles when she was on there, they were really giving her the digs right and left. Even Neicey said some things about having kids that could have been taken as a dig to her. Like she said, doesn't matter the age of the children, you still have age appropriate problems that we ALL have to deal with, you just deal like any mother does. Paraphrasing.
Isn't Kate refusing to add her web site to Twitter because it will unverify her just a PERFECT example of her inability to think big picture, past the end of her nose! Perfect!
Because she can't stand the idea of going unverified for just a short while, she is conceivably losing hundreds if not thousands of visitors to her web site. And if the web site is going to advertise or do a membership at some point, hundreds if not thousands in lost revenue. Might as well just bite the bullet and go unverified now and just get it up there on her profile.
There is just one simple word for her: IDIOT.
Neicy said something like how hard is it to just give a little kid a snack and a nap and that teens are way harder. It was clearly a dig at Kate and hysterical! Seems to me all the other moms were tired of Kate acting like she had it hardest.
Isn't her website link there now? I see it, although it isn't clickable on my phone. Maybe her security team got on that for her.

That's what I'm thinking, too. I'm also wondering, however, if someone else set up her Twitter account she might not have the slightest idea even where to go to make a change. And maybe she can't ask whoever made her Twitter account to do it for her because she pissed them off so much they're not speaking to her...Ashley, Jamie, Stevie? If that is the case, most definitely her loss of "verification" would shake her to her core whatever else is going on.

Yes it's there and it's "unclickable" which means it is not a hyperlink.
Kathy B. and Mary Ann - my sympathies to you in the deaths of your mothers. It's always difficult to lose a loving parent, no matter how prepared you think you are. Hold tight to the precious memories and know that you will see them again one day. Hugs and prayers for both of you.
I have one question for the tweeple who says Jon has always been a bum. Kate CHOSE to marry Jon. Kate clamored to marry Jon. Kate CHOSE to have 8, count 'em, 8, children with Jon. If Jon has always been a bum, what does that make Kate?
I don't think the kids are all that sad about the show being cancelled. They may have moments of missing activities or crew members, but I think the kids are too busy getting back into the swing of school to really understand what cancellation of the show means. At least, not as long as Kate doesn't constantly drum it into their heads.
I agree that Mady has a bit, actually more than a bit, of theater in her. She's always been something of a drama queen. She's mercurial and outspoken. With appropriate guidance, she could go far. However, if she's allowed to indulge her temperament, a la Kate, I foresee a world of trouble for her. I hope that Jon's able to teach her how to manage her actions. She certainly isn't going to learn from Kate.

Sorry to be OT again...
HBO will be presenting a beautiful early Christmas present to all Beatle fans, October 5th & 6th!!
"George Harrison: Living In the Material World"
OMG!!! I cannot wait!!!
Kate Gosselin who?....
Post from MaryAnn -
Oh, thank you everyone for your kind words. I guess friends and support can come from unlikely places. I have four sisters (and two brothers). We sisters are best friends and we have each other right now. Funeral is on Tuesday.
I have posted random Kate thoughts. I have been a reader here for a long time. I can only hope she turns her focus around so that she can leave a legacy of love someday.
It will be interesting if a hyperlink appears on Kate's Twitter in the near future. I still think she reads this blog, I really believe she can't resist reading anything about herself.
Hi everyone,
I coudln't sleep last night, so took a look at the Ziggyflo blog some of you have mentioned, and I am confused...the people on that blog are saying that the "haters" (why are we supposedly "haters"...why can't they comprehend that we might just be concerned about what is being done to vulnerable young children?) are wishing that Kate were dead, and also were wishing the kids were dead??!! I have never seen any such thing. although this is the only site I have visited. I can't comprehend how anyone would wish death upon the kids, let alone write about it on an internet blog. Are these people so brainwashed that they now equate anytone who has actual concern for the kids as evil trolls who wish them dead? Or do they equate life without camerasw and spotlights as being dead? As someone would say, "I don't get it"!
Also, I take offense at being called a "hater". I do not hate anyone, although I am appalled at the behavior of a select few, mainly those who do not cherish and protect the children God has given the. I think that statement would apply to all of us, don't you?

While we all worry about those adorable children, we have to remember that JON is there for them! From the beginning he has had an easy going manner, kindness, and more importantly unconditional love for them. Hopefully he has a handle on everything.
Question- AFTER YEARS OF WATCHING THIS MESS- WHY ARE THERE NO HIGH POWERED ATTORNIES CONTACTING JON AND OFFERING TO HELP GET THOSE KIDS IN HIS CARE FULL TIME????
----------------------------------
First of all, that question assumes that Jon is seeking full custody and no one has any way of knowing that is what he wants for his children.
In any event, the ABA's Model Rules of Professional Conduct, governing solicitation specifically prohibit attorneys from directly contacting a prospective client in that manner. Additionally, each state has its own Code of Professional Responsibility, based on the ABA's Model Rules.

----------------------------------------------
No naysayer has ever said that about Kate or the kids. That they would make that up just proves what sick and mentally unstable people they are. Seems their mentality was stunted around the same age as Kate's.
Face it, Kate has a handful of loonies as fans and she loves that. They are very easy to manipulate and pull the wool over their eyes and they would know none the better. They just sit and baaaaaaaa all over her.
I feel sorry for them. In a way. Kind of.
(Not really)
But I do get a giggle at how people who don't agree with Kate's choices and parenting are called haters. Aren't they, then, haters too, for bad mouthing us?
Silly people. They lives amongst us.
One more thing from the land of the crazy Ziggy-people, there were so many comments about how Ellen is so jealous of Kate and copies Kate all the time. Where do they get that? I have never seen or read anything that would make me seem that. In person (with the kids) she seems very calm and easy-going, and she doesn't appear to try to look like Kate or dress like Kate. And the fact is, she is WITH Jon, and Kate is all alone. She is young, no fake breasts/hair/teeth/tan, not unemployed, does not exploit the kids, doesn't dress like a hooker in the desperate hope that someone, anyone will find that attractive. (By the way, I always wondered why Kate thinks that a man who goes for the whole hooker look thing would also be the kind of man who would want to take on 8 kids that aren't his). Perhaps I am just confused, but where are they getting this?
As far as Twitter and websites, we all know that Khate is clueless. I've always thought that TLC set up her Twitter for her back in April to promote the new season. So, Khate probably doesn't even know how to make changes on it and TLC isn't at her beck and call anymore.
I had noticed when she first had the website that she was sending tweets without hyperlinks (not clickable), but then when I checked yesterday, she had a tweet WITH a hyperlink. But, LOL, I just looked and she did a tweet about an hour ago but, once again, it is not a hyperlink. She's just too dumb to figure it out! She sucks at even promoting her own website! LMAO!
Btw, I know some people have used Twazzup to read the tweets, or just check Khate's Twitter page. When looking at Twazzup, it's hard to tell what Khate's tweets reply to because it might be a tweet from hours ago and it's way down the page, or off the page. If checking her page on Twitter, you have to click on the quote symbol to the right of a tweet to see what she replied to. Well, I just stumbled across a much better site:
http://twitiq.com/Kateplusmy8
It's so easy to take a quick look there because right under Khate's tweet, it shows the tweet she's responding to. (If she's just sending out a tweet that isn't a reply, then obviously there's no tweet under it). I've been looking at it on and off the last couple of days, and it is accurate and on time. It just doesn't load automatically like Twazzup does, so if you have it open in a tab, you should refresh that page when you go back to look at it. But, try it, I think some of you will find it a LOT easier than looking at her Twitter page!
A few days ago, a few people here threw a hissy when someone mentioned just putting up here ( on this blog) what is on Kate's blog ( much like her tweets ), so people won't go there and give her clicks.
Can I just say, it appears to me that Kate is getting the majority of her hits from her naysayers? Seems like I keep reading posts here that mention everything she has on that silly website, which means people from here are giving her click after click.
I'm not sure I understand why some people were so opposed to just putting that info up here, but have no problem going there and reporting back. Makes no sense to me.
You all know how Kate is. She eats up that her "haters" are visiting her website. If the info were just posted here she would fly into a rage...tee hee :)

AMEN! Kate sets up twitter account, people who want the kids off TV make up for most of the followers. Kate makes website, most visitors are the people who disagree with what she does to the kids.Kate has a meltdown on her, now ex TV show, most viewers are people who just "had to see for themselves if it was as bad as it looked in commercials". Kate says outrageous things just to draw attention, it gets commented for days on the non supportive blogs.Kate plays the non-fans just as well as she play the fanatics. Non fans are just as big fuels as fanatics. Kate will never disappear because NEITHER THE FANATICS NOR THE NON FANS will ever let her.Sad.
My house, my show, my 8, my leather sofa, my HDTV, my pool, our web site.
I agree about giving her website hits. Please understand, that I am NOT telling anyone what they should and shouldn't do. But, I would think that most of us do not want to add to her hits. (Although, I also agree with those that said her hit counter is phony and probably just adding up fake hits all day just to make it look good).
Still, I do think it's funny to see what idiocy she has posted there, so I appreciated it when someone posted her dumb Q&A about her height, weight, and size. (Man, she is so vapid, boring, & immature! Does she really think THAT is the content that people are just dying to get on a website?) So, maybe one or two people here can volunteer to be the only ones to check her site (maybe once a day) and post it here??
Not only that but even Kate won't say anything bad about Ellen. Never has she. So why don't her fans take a cue from her and leave her alone?
No Regrets said...
I still have not seen this Lowe's commercial. I don't know why they keep ramping her up as this organizational wizard. LOL She makes lists? She has laundry divided up by kids names? Ok the house is tidy, she has a housekeeper too. Many of us keep a tidy home. NO ONE is that organized if they forget things constantly. Sorry, but they just aren't.
___________________________________________
I agree. If Kate were half as organized as she says she is, or wants everyone to believe she is, then maybe, just maybe she wouldn't freak out or meltdown or explode as often as she does. Just doesn't make sense to complain about all this stuff you have to do when she knows pretty well she has "someone else" do it for her. I kind of get the feeling she likes everyone to think she's this overstressed, overworked miracle of a mother. News Flash dear, not everyone has 8 kids but that shouldn't be a qualification for being a good mom to however many kids you have.
I resume to just let her be buried by her pathetic posted notes, never-ending laundry and ridiculous schedule--no, no I don't want her to come up for air because if she does all it is, is yelling at someone for not not running to help her.
Prayers to everyone here as I take my leave to the hospital.
My thought about the tups being sad the show canceled is, all six seem to be a little clueless about almost everything. I don't mean that in a bad way, just that they are enjoying their world as they know it. They have never got the chance to know the real world and just going about enjoying what they have.
I do believe and have said here before that, as soon as they understand the money was and is theirs, it's going to hit the fan. This also pertains to their pined up life. When they recognize that there life is abnormal they are going to be very angry. That's when, in my opinion, they will really act out. My hope and prayer is, someone will be their to help them sort things out. Maybe that's why Jon had to go through what he did, so he now knows and has the tools to over come very difficult issues. He can now know how to help the kids when they have to deal with theirs. If anything, he is an example to those kids that it can be done, and they can make it through.
Just to add, I know that Jon's bad choices brought on his own problems, but he learned from it and became a better person because of it. That is the most important thing.
would someone explain to me the issue of clicking sites? I thought the only time it matters is if you subscribe. All this internet details are so confusing to me.
@Mary Ann-thank you and my sincere sympathy to you as well. Our moms were the same age; her 89th would have been next week. Condolences to your family as well.
@Dwindle- Hospice has already set up bereavement services with me. We requested donations to them in lieu of flowers to continue their wonderful assistance to others. I have hubby, 4 children,6 grandchildren, 2 brothers and their families and 3 of mom's 9 remaining siblings in my support network.
Thanks for the community hug from the fine folks on this website. After reading here for nearly 2 years I feel like I am among friends.
As many have said before, Kate Gosselin just doesn't GET IT, period. The Legacy of a Real Mom said it so well upthread. It ticks me off big time the way Kate treats her kids, puts words in their mouths, alienates them from family and will say or do anything to have herself front and center even if she steps on those kids to do so!

------------
I join you in not going to the site. And if someone wants to post what is there, I don't object at all. It IS good for a laugh and we know it is mostly ALL lies anyway. I saw only one maybe two voice displeasure in bringing stuff here from her site. I can only suggest, if someone dislikes a post, just skip over it.
Just skip the posts. You do not have to read it nor comment. I think that is pretty simple. As long as ADMIN does not object.
If and the big word here is IF they had a loving, thoughtful, unselfish mother, they would be fine quite quickly. This is a busy time of year, just starting back at school. The kids are busy all day at school. Millions of kids play soccer or some other fall sport, which gives them at their age, probably one practice an evening a week, and a game on the weekends. They would have plenty of time to make some new friends in town, away from school and game time, sharing snacks, etc. But in Kate's world, it's all about her and she can't be bothered planning around their schedule. Gee, it might even give them an extra night during the week where Jon could watch them practice or even help out a coach. Since he's trying to get more fit, he probably would like to be out there kicking the ball around with his kids. Let's see, she's home all day w/ nothing to do but twitter. She could have a meal or snack ready as soon as they got home, head out to practice and get home to a dinner in a crock pot. Only working mothers think this organized. We've all done it for years. Kate is the one missing the attention and all the help and perks TLC provided. Kids are more adaptable and go w/ the flow. Anyone in the NE area see the Stop and Shop commercial where the mother of 8 gets her bargains and makes a dinner for 10 every night. It can be done w/o a million dollars Kate.

----------------------------
A few things I sort of disagree with. The non fans are not following her, just like me, they can read the twitter feed without having to follow. It is entertainment to see her dumb stuff and the fans. The website stats, who knows how many are 'haters' or not, it could be the fans continually clicking to boost the hits, as far as we know. There is just no way of knowing if 'most' of the visitors are 'haters'. Some people did watch her a lot, when the ratings were important never understood that, but it is what it is. Yes, she does bait us and use the fans, that I agree with. I disagree that she will never disappear because of fans or non fans. Frankly, we really don't have that sort of power. And she does not have that many fans, as far as 'celebrities' go. Honestly, (or like Kate says, No lie!) I am getting pretty tired of the idiot.
She WILL disappear because she has no talent.

I have seen a few on Twitter, the haters, wish Kate would die. In a fire, wrap her car around a pole, etc. It is despicable. No matter how much one dislikes the woman for God's sake, that is just way over the line. I have never seen those people say that about the kids. There were a few 'jokes' about her 'celebration' of the finale from someone named Opie who has a radio show he said she should celebrate by using a 'station wagon and a boat ramp'. Real sick 'humor'. And several of his fans were adding to the sick crap. One idiot I had never seen post before wished 'self-immolation' for Kate. Some sick people. So yeah some have done this. Thank God, at least I HOPE none from this blog.
I do dislike the woman but to say this sort of thing is just unbelievably cruel and completely out of line, about Kate or the kids.
As far as Ellen is concerned, they hate Ellen because she is with Jon. I have seen so many terrible things said about her it is really shameful. Some say it is because 'we' say bad things about Kate, so they dish on Ellen. That makes a lot of sense. lol The lies they make up about that girl is just beyond belief. She does not deserve any of the hatred sent her way for any reason. I am glad she has a thick skin.
I can see Kate's working overtime on her new website. So far she has answered some very challenging questions like how tall is she, how much does she weight etc, everything else says coming soon. Can't wait for her fashion and beauty tips. How to dress like a skank etc,
Come on does she REALLY have a section on 'FASHION and beauty'?? Please tell me no. LOL
If you go to a website using an anonymous proxy, does the site still get a hit on the counter?
This is my first post to your blog but I am a frequent lurker. I am posting because I believe I have found the perfect post-Kate Plus 8 job for poor Katie Irene. Since Kate is so proud to point out her extraordinary organizational skills I think TLC should hire her as a professional organizer on “Hoarding Buried Alive.” I’m sure TLC would waive that silly little credential thingy since they know who she is. Just imagine Kate driving up in her new “used” car sporting a vanity plate reading C-K8S-TTS while her client sits watching from a tree. Kate enters the home wearing four inch heels then wades through mounds of garbage, feces, and critters. Let the screeching begin as we witness another Kodak moment.

Yes. You're still accessing the website through an IP, just not yours. However, they're not necessarily reliable.
I looked at that yahoo article, all of it true (except they said Jon said reality TV is not a job, when he really said it's not a career). Her sheeple are defending the Audi - saying Audi GAVE her the car and they dare people to ask Audi! Hahahahhahahaaaaa!!!!!!!!! Oh boy, that one takes the cake for me. Why would a European car maker give a high-end sports model to a woman who is universally despised and the mother of 8? I could see if they gave Kate Middleton a car, but no, according to these idiots, they gave Kate Gosselin a car. Belly laughing here.....she ADMITTED she traded one SUV for this car and another SUV!

That scenario IS hysterical LOL! She would take buckets of Purell and rubber gloves and cover those heels with the paper shoes! Others have mentioned hoarders but your post actually gave me a visual, one I would LOVE to see.
PJ's momma said... Belly laughing here.....she ADMITTED she traded one SUV for this car and another SUV!"
Yes she did say she traded it in for that car and got TWO 'used' cars. I saw some of the posts too. Also defending her 'mediocre' comment. As well as pounding away AGAIN at Jon. For his nutty stage 2 years ago, of course. I swear if she drowned 10 kittens if front of them, they would find a way to blame Jon or blame those lousy kittens.
Remember Casey Kreider? Even though Kate clearly said she was not a relative, one said she believed she was a relative and that Kate was only saying because she was 'sooo nice' and wanted to protect her. LOL!
Thanks Anonymous that was a good article.

In any event, the ABA's Model Rules of Professional Conduct, governing solicitation specifically prohibit attorneys from directly contacting a prospective client in that manner. Additionally, each state has its own Code of Professional Responsibility, based on the ABA's Model Rules.
_____________________
It's call ambulance chasing, and it's very common here to get postcards or letters in the mail offering services from an attorney to a specific prospective client. Whether it's in compliance with the Model Rules or not, it happens and attorneys, even reputable ones, scan lawsuits filed, bankruptcies, civil actions, real estate transfers, and send out letters. I've never known anyone getting disbarred for sending out a letter advising a prospective client the services his/her law firm offers, but if complaints are filed, I would believe that they would be investigated.
Kate's Cart said... ----------------------------
A few things I sort of disagree with. The non fans are not following her, just like me, they can read the twitter feed without having to follow. It is entertainment to see her dumb stuff and the fans. The website stats, who knows how many are 'haters' or not, it could be the fans continually clicking to boost the hits, as far as we know. There is just no way of knowing if 'most' of the visitors are 'haters'.

__________________________________________
It's just that there seem to be an awfully lot of people on this blog who seem to know everything there is to know about Kate's website. And they know because they keep going there.
I have not seen her website at all. I learn everything there is to know from this blog. And true, it is fun to laugh at because the content is ridiculous and makes Kate look even more foolish. Gives us a great laugh. But when she gets ads, and she will, then the people here clicking on her website will be helping to line her pockets. And that will be money she is NOT required to give the kids their fair share. They won't see a dime of that.
Once she gets ads, the ad companies will know the true status of her counter. And truth be told, most likely her counter gets a ton of hits from maybe three of her Twitter lovers who sit at the computer all day and do nothing but refresh over and over and over. Those are the people who would go around and sniff everywhere Kate sat.
PA Legals, I was surprised if mailers are going out in PA against ethical rules because most lawyers with half a brain don't mess around with ethical rules. But when I looked it up, turns out your lawyers aren't messing around, your lawyers simply aren't violating any ethical rules by sending direct mail. Not in PA anyway. In other states, yes.
The Model rules are the ABA GUIDELINES for states, how they think they should "model" their ethical rules. Attorneys aren't bound by them, they are bound by what their state adapts and what they swore an oath to--their states laws. Remember lawyers are state regulated not nationally regulated. Some states adapt almost identical ones, but not all. PA solicitation ethical rules appear to be a bit more lenient about soliciting, they do allow lawyers to send direct mailers out targeting specific people:
"Rule 7.3. Direct Contact with Prospective Clients.
(a) A lawyer shall not solicit in-person or by intermediary professional employment from a prospective client with whom the lawyer has no family or prior professional relationship when a significant motive for the lawyer’s doing so is the lawyer’s pecuniary gain, unless the person contacted is a lawyer or has a family, close personal, or prior professional relationship with the lawyer. The term ‘‘solicit’’ includes contact in-person by telephone or by real-time electronic communication, but, subject to the requirements of Rule 7.1 and Rule 7.3(b), does not include written communications, which may include targeted, direct mail advertisements.
(b) A lawyer may contact, or send a written communication to, a prospective client for the purpose of obtaining professional employment unless:
(1) the lawyer knows or reasonably should know that the physical, emotional or mental state of the person is such that the person could not exercise reasonable judgment in employing a lawyer;
(2) the person has made known to the lawyer a desire not to receive communications from the lawyer; or
(3) the communication involves coercion, duress, or harassment."
Personally, I like PA's take on the rule. It lets you advertise within reason, you just can't be harassing people about it.
Even so I don't see why some big shot family law attorney would be contacting Jon since most of them are going to bill you at least $350 an hour if not much more, and most people cannot afford that, I'm sure Jon probably can't. This isn't a charity case, I doubt anyone is going to do this for free, it's a down economy for lawyers too and prepping a case is expensive. If Jon wants an attorney, and who is to say he doesn't have one, he can open a phone book.
You can and WILL get disbarred if you persist in violating advertising rules, but 99% of the disbarments I read in my trade magazines are about messing with your client's money, the trust accounts, with a few disbarments for lawyers with drinking/drugs/criminal activity problems. Which is exactly where the Bar SHOULD focus its efforts....they are not interested in wasting their time or resources on the hundreds of blogs out there protected by free speech that various lawyers run, you psycho sheeple who are in the Bar's crazy file.
Yeppers, what are you talking about? What is there to KNOW about Kate's web site? A few of us went there and told everyone here she has coming soon everywhere except for a few questions about her height and weight. When someone makes a statement about it, it can be based on what was described to them. There isn't anything else to tell about it or anything else to SEE, that's IT. If anyone did look I can't imagine it took them more than 30 seconds to see the entire web site.
Kate has a counter on it that no advertiser would give a damn about, she has no ads on it or membership and thus cannot be making a dime off it. Her twitter feed can be read on this web site without even looking at her twitter. Anyway, I don't like lectures about what I should do. Why are you worried, Kate will lose interest in this web site in six weeks. Some people gave her six months, I think that's dreaming.
If she thinks "haters" inflate her numbers for advertising, she's going to have a huge wakeup call when no "hater" buys the paper towels she pedals or whatever it will end up being.
As the remarkably wise (ha, who knew!) Tyra Banks said, it's fine to have haters but you can only have them to a point before it just doesn't WORK. You can't have all haters.
Why would anyone here ever click on an ad? You have to click to make money. If you have an incredible amount of viewers you CAN make a few pennies from impressions alone, but it's the actual clicks that count.
Give us some credit please.
No Regrets said... That scenario IS hysterical LOL! She would take buckets of Purell and rubber gloves and cover those heels with the paper shoes! Others have mentioned hoarders but your post actually gave me a visual, one I would LOVE to see.

LOL! But Kate would NOT do these things, she would S C R E A M at others to do it, while she went out and napped in her luxury trailer! LOL! She would emerge hours later - "I'm ready for my close up, Mr. De Mille!"

Amused that all she can twitter is directions to her web site, As if. Never.
One more thing that really stood out fom Ziggy's website was the number of Kate lovers who talked about her being a "NATURAL BEAUTY". My jaw just dropped when I saw that one. Huh? Bleached hair, bleached teeth, fake tan, boob job, tummy tuck, truckloads of cosmetics....the list goes on and on. That is NOT natural, people! How can they even say that without laughing hysterically? The other comments made me angry ("haters want the kids dead, Ellen copies Kate") made me mad, but that one was just hysterical.
And so it starts...
MiloandJack @grisel1018 @Kateplusmy8 Have U been one of the fortunate ones 2 get an e-mail back fr Kate yet? Cannot imagine how she will answer them!
grisel1018 @MiloandJack @Kateplusmy8 nope I haven't gotten a response yet! Has anyone? She's a very busy woman!
TaraB7 @Kateplusmy8 tweeted you ad emailed you a few times. No love for an avid & dedicated fan?

@TaraB7 @Kateplusmy8 Tara...I think Kate has been overwhelmed w/this e-mail thing! She's such a busy momma...has kids this weekend 2! :)

I guess Milo conveniently forgot Kate used to do her most prolific tweeting over the summer when her kids were home.
And here's a real knee slapper:
LoveCostNothing @Livin4LifeLove @Kateplusmy8 start saving U $ if she starts marketing her logo she will be big as if not bigger than martha stewart.$stock$
What is all the talk about a leather couch? I have never seen anything she has said about that. Did I miss something? And what does she think is so special about it? Lots of people have leather couches. They're easy to clean when you have kids and pets. Dog hair doesn't stick to the cloth, and you can wipe it off easily. Her isn't even very nice. Looks like it's from L-Z-Boy or something. If she wants to brag about a leather couch, she should at least get a really nice one. A Chesterfield, maybe. Otherwise, it's just a couch.
So, what did she say about hers?
Jenna Does said... I'm not verified on twitter, but I always put a hyperlink on my twitter to my blog & get tons of hits from there. Although, I've been bad & haven't blogged much, bad week.
So, I haven't been over to see Kate's new site & don't plan on it. I agree with the posters who say she's moving away from twitter. It's boring her now. She wants NO more interaction with her 5 die-hard fans.
She won't answer emails. There will be TONS of hate mail, she'll be spamming left & right. She can get IP's, if she's smart & block them, but that will take time. Even then, people can use proxy's or public computers.
She's in for a heap of crap with this site. And the q&a? LAME. She made them up. It's obvious.
~Hippie Chick~
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I couldnt agree more. Part of this (not all, but part) was to cease the twittering, since it didnt save the show and she is done with it now. She actually has a very low frustration level and short attention span.
Those few questions she answered are so clearly ones she made up. So very clearly.
Although I dont think her acrylics are going too close to this website. It is Steve doing most of it in conjuction with the unemployed web-student, desperately trying to earn a salary out of her. Which means that Steve KNOWS there is money there.
She will never ever see what a laughing stock she is, and the 666 fans she has are so simple-minded that they disgust her.
I dont care what she does, except she has also made her children public laughing stocks (what did she care; it paid well) and now everything she ever does will humiliate them. They can never escape her trampy shadow and be anonymous with their heads held high.
Kate Doesn't rate copied a tweet that said, "start saving U $ if she starts marketing her logo she will be as big as if not bigger than Martha Stewart".
WHO the heck would ever think something like that about Kate? I have to admit, I love Martha. She may be a witch who steals ideas, but I love going through her magazines and trying out her ideas and recipes. Martha has marketed a lifestyle, and it's a lifestyle a lot of people aspire to. But Kate? What does she have to offer? She does not have the style to pull it off, even if she did steal the ideas. She is too crass, loud, and obnoxious. She could never pull it off. If you see Martha on TV, everything looks perfect, even if it's not so perfect behind the scenes.
I love looking at pictures of Martha's beautiful homes and how she has decorated them. Kate has no style, and doesn't even have the sense to hire a decorator to fake it for her.
I love Martha's recipes and at least trying to make something close to them for my family. I do adapt them for our tastes, but my family appreciates the effort.
I dream oif my perfect "Martha" lifestyle, and I may not ever really make it, but the effort makes my home a better place. Kate...nothing there I would ever try to copy.
Nobody Likes a Narcissist said...
Still, I do think it's funny to see what idiocy she has posted there, so I appreciated it when someone posted her dumb Q&A about her height, weight, and size. (Man, she is so vapid, boring, & immature! Does she really think THAT is the content that people are just dying to get on a website?) So, maybe one or two people here can volunteer to be the only ones to check her site (maybe once a day) and post it here??

A tiny blurb from Martha Stewart's bio:
She worked as a model from the age of 13, appearing in fashion shows as well as television and print advertisements. She attended Barnard College in Manhattan, where she earned a degree in European and architectural history in 1962. While at Barnard, she met Andy Stewart, a Yale law student, and the two married in 1961. Six years later, after the birth of their daughter, Alexis, Stewart went to work as a stockbroker for the boutique firm of Monness, Williams, and Sidel. She worked on Wall Street until 1972, when the family moved to Westport, Connecticut.
Martha also learned French cooking and started her own catering business. It goes on and on.
Kate had twins and sextuplets then had meltdowns on a reality show that starred her kids.
The end.

Correct, which is why it is not out of the realm of possibility for any reputable attorney to solicit business by sending him a letter. When it gets to the point of harassment, though, that's when you look at the return address and just file the letter in the trash, or contact the powers-that-be.
Unless an attorney is willing to offer services to Jon on a contingency basis, I can't imagine he'd even respond to such a letter, but you never know!

So when Kate referred to going out with the girls, was she referring to the ones that live in her good bra? I mean what other girls would go out with her.

Maria said... What is all the talk about a leather couch? I have never seen anything she has said about that. Did I miss something?
*************
during the late spring weather, when it was 65 degrees outside, she was twitting DAILY or more that all the kids were out in the pool and she was on her leather sofa and life was good. Over and over and over, often more than once a day, but at least once every morning for weeks. Then in the evening they were all cuddled up together on the damn leather couch, singing hymns and reading the Bible together or whatever bullshit she was making up.
It was so precious, that she kept tweeting dozens of tweets per hour. Not like she was giving the hymn singers her attention or anything.
Yeppers said...But when she gets ads, and she will, then the people here clicking on her website will be helping to line her pockets. And that will be money she is NOT required to give the kids their fair share. They won't see a dime of that.

I personally don't have a problem if Kate's site becomes a successful venture for her. If she can make additional money for herself, then hopefully she won't have to dip into the money set aside for the kids. That's a plus. This is a great opportunity where Kate can still work at home and have flexible work hours to be with her kids.
The only concern many might have is whether Kate will continue exploiting her kids on this new site. Kate needs to focus on making a name for herself now or she'll be forever known as that mom with eight kids. Gradually make it less about the kids and more about topics/issues that concern her.
Not sure how much you've been following the discussion about Kate's site in the last couple of threads or so, but experts or those knowledgeable in the field have already commented about how website advertising works. Advertisers want to see the stats before promoting on the site. Google AdSense is different. Yes, the site is probably getting more traffic right now because it's new but that won't last if her site remains stagnant. Additionally, someone mentioned SEO (search engine optimization) and if you google "Kate Gosselin", her site doesn't even appear on the first page of results. Not good.
From personal experience, design, content, and SEO were the three main things my brother and I focused on in re-designing his site. That's what pushed it from a little niche site to a high-traffic site that attracted companies in the field wanting to advertise on his site. It took dedication and extra work & effort (especially in the beginning) to make it a success. Is Kate willing to do the same for her site?
NOT that Kate's silly little website would ever be as big, but the Pioneer Woman makes approx. $800,000 to $1.3 million off her blog each year.
http://www.abdpbt.com/personalfinance/how-much-do-bloggers-make-case-study-ree-drummond-aka-the-pioneer-woman/
I do predict that KatePlusMyEightATM's will be defunct within 3 months. There's no way she would ever reach that level and it won't be worth her time. I recall when she and Jon had a website during the height of their show, they had a few measly ads that Kate claimed they donated the revenue from that to cancer research...which I highly doubt they really donated anything. But even during their hayday, their website was nowhere near PW's. Not even close. And Mckmama was making approx $20K a month before she was caught plagiarizing and Blogher pulled her ads.
Kate would be lucky to make enough to put gas in her sportscar.
Maria- re: leather couch. In Kate's view, her tweeters are supposed to be impressed that Kate has a LEATHER couch and a POOL! I think Kate impresses herself with her material goods and expects everyone to follow suit. She knows many of her tweeties are very young and are pretty much at her same level. So be impressed, be VERY impressed!
I really don't anything when it comes to running a web site. I have heard that it is real easy to make lots of money. In a nut shell if you can, would someone explain what brings in revenue on a web site and do you have to pay taxes.
Just watching Countdown to the Emmys - haven't seen the divine Ms. Gosselin on the red carpet yet! Quite a fall from grace, no? From sequins, up-do and torpedo hooters in all her glory last year, to tweeting with mediocre non-celebrity strangers this year, trying to arrange a time to pick up expired boxes of organic cereal. Oh my! How the mighty have fallen!
I'm guessing that Pioneering Woman person works 18 hours a day on that web site, or did before she made millions and could hire a staff.
I'm also guessing she can 1. write 2. is clever 3. is likable and 4. is interesting. 5. is not lazy
Kate is none of the above. Her web site will fail, in my opinion, it already is a failure.
Pioneer Woman is a really nice site with a lot of diversity. Kate's site depends on her 8 kids. Also it appears that the Pioneer site has been up since 2006. Is Kate ready to wait for 5 years and develop a website with actual interesting content?
Nah...

=================
Oops, there I go again, posting before reading. Sorry everyone.
I disagree it's really easy to make money off a web site. For this reason, Kate won't be able to do it. You have to understand what makes a good web site, you have to be able to deliver good content, you have to work more hours than most people have time to since most people with web sites have regular jobs.
There are many people making good money off web sites. But anyone can set up a web site, few can make a living off it. You don't hear too often someone who blogs for a living. Only a few can actually do it for a living. For most, you can count yourself lucky if you make a decent second income at it, though not enough to live off by itself. For most, it will be something that brings them a few bucks a month tops.
You can also have the most amazing web site in the world, but if you're in a niche area that doesn't make money, it doesn't matter. The Pioneer woman is in a great niche.
no mo worryin bout me said... I really don't anything when it comes to running a web site. I have heard that it is real easy to make lots of money. In a nut shell if you can, would someone explain what brings in revenue on a web site and do you have to pay taxes.

______________________
If it were easy to make a lot of money off a website I imagine we'd all be doing that.
There are a zillion websites out there. Go take a look at the Pioneer Woman's site and look at all the photos and various pages, etc. Those photos are professionally done and keeping the content new and interesting takes hours and hours. Finding advertisers would be a daunting experience in itself. It all costs a lot of time and money. Here's the link:
http://thepioneerwoman.com/
The Pioneer Woman website was mentioned. She employs the same web people who keep the Ebay site going, so definitely not everyone can do that! It costs mega, mega bucks, but she is very wealthy in her own right to begin with having married into a huge ranching family. So, she employs people to run that site for her---she provides the content, but I imagine they keep things up and running and put it all together for her.
No way is Kate ever, ever going to have a website at that level. She would have to have tons of money to invest in it and have many paid advertisers. Pioneer Woman stated in an article that she made over a million dollars last year off of the advertisements alone. But, she has a huge following of fans.
Hey, Pioneer Woman doesn't have a hit counter!!
But, she has a huge following of fans.
Well, MiloandJack sent Kate a Target gift card. It's a start.
Remember the Glassman fiasco? That is why Doctors, Dentists, and Attorney's are and should be careful who they offer free services too. It could blow up in their face like what happened. No one in their half way right mind should do anything free for ANY of the G's. They don't appreciate any of it. IMHO
And of course you have to pay taxes off income you make off your web site.
I hope Kate knows this right.....not that I expect her to make any kind of money that Uncle Sam would bother with, but web site income is going to be self-employed income from her. Double taxes. Uncle Sam wants his cut.
I have to pay estimated taxes throughout the year for my other web site, it's making enough that Uncle Sam said I want my money throughout the year. I'm sure all of this is way over Kate's head, which is why she is either going to end up with a complete failure of a site, or behind bars. Or both.
Oh my God...have you written me back Kate? Have You? When will you? I wrote a 17 paragraph email to you telling you how awesome & inspiring you are. Then I told you all about me (which u skimmed over I'm sure) It's a little long, but it's mostly all about YOU. When will you write me back so I can print it out, frame it & immortalize it next to all the pictures I have of your kids? I'll put it on my nightstand!
Please, I HAVE to know. WHEN? How? WHEN?? Are you going to tell me how much you weigh again? What size are you again? Tell me ALL about your kids. What is Leah's favorite food? What does Mady do in her spare time? Is Cara a daddy's girl? Oops. :(
What do YOU do to relax Kate? It's all about you. You are such a GREAT mom. I aspire to be just like you when I grow up & have kids. I want 7 kids. 1 boy & sextuplets. I'm naming them: Jake, Jessie, Julia, Julian, Jessica, Jeremiah, & Jenna. Do you like it?
Write me back!! I love you so much!! WRITE ME BACK! WHEN????
Your biggest fan,

@Kateplusmy8 I got a magazine the other day that sells remade Chiken coups with all the equipment needed but chickens.Never seen that before
++++++++++
Yeah, I think Kate's about done with Twitter.
I think you all are right, this web site is a convenient excuse for her to bow out of twitter. The timeline is just about right, she got the Twitter account six months ago, it's September and now she's bored and annoyed with it.
Six months is .... just.....about the length of her attention span.
The minute she puts up that little "thing-ie button" called paypal-ish.......oh yea...it's a coming. It will be on and pop'n..it will be her goose getting cooked instead of organic chicken.
KG you cannot fool Uncle Sam, or your ex, or the churches, or the companies that track you and your assets. It is all open records, and it is all there. You are NOT special. Do you UNDERSTAND?
I totally believe that Kate doesn't grasp the "ginormous" closure the canceling of her show brings. No more Emmey's, no Kentucky derby, no closing of venues so only her and the kids can go in, etc.
I don't totally agree that she is tired of twitter, she enjoys attention and praise too much. I think she believes that with the web site, it will open up doors for the media to contact her on a more private level and they get a chance to see that she is overcoming difficult times with flying colors. I think she wants to use it as her portfolio. This way the bigger media will see her and all her followers. The problem with that is, it's only in her and her sheeples mind.
How can you be on TV, make millions, and not have legal counsel or a legal advisor on speed dial? Or a financial consultant? Her actions show she has neither?

Kate could have advisers up the ying yang - not that she does - and they would do her no good because you can't tell her anything. She is always right!
Oh wow...JCM must be getting ready to give her the boot soon. Guessing, but no wonder... Now that would be a huge loss for KG.
I have no doubt people have tried to advise this woman, she doesn't listen and they likely gave up.
There have been at least four independent professionals who have tried to (gently) tell my narcissist she doesn't know how to do her own makeup and needs help, does she listen? No, she keeps caking it on like pancake batter like a crazypants.

I'm a people person. You have to be in field of nursing, least I believe so anyway. I enjoy conversation anywhere I can get it that doesn't involve me being called mom for a few minutes and you guys are a great laugh. I live in northern California. Lake is a nickname I've gone by for years. My husband gave it to me years ago growing up.
I never thought about giving anyone an update really. But if you like one then fine. No baby. I thought almost but I've been under a lot more stress than I want to handle.
Why is it so important to Kate to own a leather sofa? I have two. They are great for kids and pets. It's not really a luxury item. A pool? Have one of those too. It came with the house. Maintaining it? Almost more trouble than the stupid thing is worth that's because I have to learn how to do it. Do I have a clue? Hell no!
As for website...I can't believe she's that into herself to continue. Shows over. Curtains closed. Go back to being a mom. Hollywood is the opposite end of the country, for get about it!
I am surprised that more inside stories have not leaked out, since the show was canceled. It has never been this quiet before, in the last 4 years. It looks like "they" really sent her packing. Everybody..not just TLC.
I think it's also a case of what could an "insider" possibly say that we don't know already?
It's not like Kate appears so lovely and sweet on TV but some insider speaks out and says she's actually a nightmare.
It's not a shocker how she really is.
The Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond sure seems to be a nice woman. My SIL has followed her blog for years and I've been following about a year. She has written cook books, takes her own pictures, gets up before dawn to maker her family breakfast, goes out and helps with the cattle. She hosts "sleep overs" in her lodge that is separate from the house and she even washes all the sheets and makes the beds herself. SNARK. She also home schools her 4 kids and is so in love with her "Marlboro Man" it is endearing.
I don't get the leather thing either. It's not even like that's the best kind of couch you could get. I had a cheap apartment in my college days furnished with leather. It was okay. I didn't like how in hot weather you stick to it, and in cold weather it can feel really cool, you don't really want to snuggle up on it.
It was good because I got to test it out without having to buy it. My couch now isn't leather, but I love it way better than that sticky leather one.

I'm still pregnant! What you call false labor. No baby means not yet. I'm not due till next month is right.
Maybe I can sympathize with Kate: running to the store, going to church, paying bills, figuring out how to do most things on my own I never thought I'd have to do in my life. Yeah, right. I so don't sympathize not one bit. Her act of crying wolf when there isn't one is going to get her into some serious trouble sooner or later. Just I hope not to her children. But she keeps pushing that envelope.

Just watching Countdown to the Emmys - haven't seen the divine Ms. Gosselin on the red carpet yet! Quite a fall from grace, no? From sequins, up-do and torpedo hooters in all her glory last year, to tweeting with mediocre non-celebrity strangers this year, trying to arrange a time to pick up expired boxes of organic cereal. Oh my! How the mighty have fallen!
-----------------------------------
It's funny, I think most of us, if not all, including me, called that one last year. We said "Where will Kate be next year on Emmy night?"
I think most of us wrote; "Drinking her boxed wine, alone her room, dancing around her in her Emmy gown from last year, & people are all saying 'Kate Gosselin Who'?"
You're so right. How the "mighty" (well, IMO, not so much lol) have fallen. I wonder how she feels? She kicked so many people on the way up. And now she has to kiss ass on the way down, but there is no way back to the top.
~Hippie Chick~
Hey! I saw her on the show tonight! Woohoo! For like .1 second standing in the back, behind TF, JF and everyone else on an ole clip from last year. ROFLMBO
But you know what everyone? Had she played nice, and acted half way normal, she could have actually been a huge part of the show this year. They showed almost every single reality show, including Toddlers & Tiaras, but didn't see one clip from HER "most reality show there is out there."
Can someone explain to me why she was even at the Emmy Awards last year? I thought that was for actualy televison/movie stars not this reality crap.
Say WHAT???

Kate got help with her website from BabyMama? LOL. Can that be?
Wonder where this info came from? BabyMama? Sure would answer some nagging questions.

KATE WTF ARE YOU DOING? OMG NO!
No way anyone could make this stuff up!?! Unreal, and shaking head. BM the stalker? Now, they are best friends? Oh my ....
I'm not sure I believe this BM connection.....Kate was outright telling people not to go to her web site it wasn't official! Now she hooks up with her to run her web site? And actually? I think BM would do way more work on it than just one blog post and a few questions and answers. Come on she's an obsessed fan she has way more obsessed information to put up there in her.
But if she is helping.....OMG Kate just like my narcissist letting an obsessed fan run her site because it was free.. ..danger, danger, Will Robinson, BAD IDEA. She will never, ever leave you alone after this. Give fans an inch they want a mile. It took seven long years to get rid of her, please take warning. And when you realize this is an obsessed fan you need to cut loose, who knows how they will take that....
Also, BM? You're a DV victim. Get out.
I don't think BM is helping with it, this is what she said about it: "I think that a lot of kinks need to be worked out on that site. While it's everything that Kate wanted in terms of ideas that we tossed back and for a while back, the key to the site will be updates. Keeping it fresh & not seem stale. I hope that she keeps up with it."
I think this is a very fair statement. If not an understatement. Kinks??? Hahha more like big black holes!
But why would someone who is RUNNING a web site say it has a lot of kinks?
I think more likely she might have emailed Kate helpfully trying to save her site with suggestions and content. She's a good little under appreciated fan like that.

I'm guessing that Pioneering Woman person works 18 hours a day on that web site, or did before she made millions and could hire a staff.
I'm also guessing she can 1. write 2. is clever 3. is likable and 4. is interesting. 5. is not lazy
Kate is none of the above. Her web site will fail, in my opinion, it already is a failure.

I have read Pioneer Womans website since the beggining. This woman is witty, creative, loves her husband and children and works like a dog! AND makes it all fun and creative. She doesn't scream and yell at her hubby and children, she works works works...oh, and WRITES! Yeah Katie, she can REALLY WRITE! BEAT THAT BITCH!
*Lillysmom*
Admin,
Aren't you truly worried for this woman and her children? I mean seriously, she has no family, no REAL friends, deranged fans, or teens as fans and she is so way out there it is frightening.
She won't listen to anyone, is head strong and seems blinded to the real reality of life. Wasn't it common knowledge that the BM fan was one of the main reasons, SN was hired to protect the children and KG from her, and other fans who acted out of the norm?
Actually in reading what she said again sounds like BM gave her some ideas back and forth awhile back. Recipes, fashion (what to wear if you want to prostitute on Hollywood Blvd at 1 am), health, nothing earth shattering, and Kate used a few of them without credit. Ha.

Yes as are many people. Contrary to popular sheeple belief, I would like to see this woman get therapy and get better and be a good mom and fix herself and have a good life ahead of her for her and the kids.

In other news.....who's ready for Nancy Grace tomorrow on DWTS??? Blame it all on John David and Little Lucy!!! If anyone can top Kate it's her.
http://abcnews.go.com/images/GMA/abc_nancy_grace_dwts_dm_110916_wblog.jpg
Wow! Kate must be jealous of those bazooms!
I'm rooting for Chaz. I don't watch the show but will watch tomorrow night just to see how he does. Don't know that I'll watch weekly though. I can't sit through the bazillion commercials.
I was thinking about how frightening this woman's life is. She has 4 or 5 brothers and sisters, plus her parents. She is not on speaking terms with any of them. She didn't allow Jon's mother to be a part of their lives (until Jon left and let his mother--and Kevin and Jodi--back into the kids' lives). Her only remaining friend lives in Michigan and said some harsh truths about Kate in the finale. Ashley is not longer around. She says that Carla (Ashley's mom) is still her friend, but if anyone treated my daughter the way she treated Ashley, I would NOT count that person as a friend. I would support my daughter, So--no friends, no family, just employees and deranged fans. And judging from fans like Brownie, well, that woman scares me. Always trying to get access to Kate and the kids. Sounds like she'd be boiling a bunny on Kate's stove if Kate didn't have security. It's just not normal to put that much effort into pursuing someone you don't know, even when she keeps getting snubbed time and again. Who is there to interact with the kids? It doesn't sound like they have playdates, no relatives, and Mommy's fans all seem to have a screw loose. It seems to me that these kids are in a dangerous position, with no real emotional support. Would anyone be surprised if Brownie snatched one of the kids, just to get Kate to acknowledge her? Not me. And how many more just like Brownie are out there? If fans like Brownie are so fixated on Kate, then it's more than likely that there are some who are fixated on one or more of the kids in the same way. These are people who can pop a DVD into the player and see the object of their obsession in various states of undress, using the bathroom, etc. As a mom, I find that terrifying. Jon mentioned (and was blasted for saying it) that the show was a pedophile's dream, and he was right. How could a mother do that to her children? We are supposed to protect our kids, and she has thrown them to the wolves. I just pray that nothing happens to any of them. They are both isolated and exposed. And none of this is their fault.
I think y'all called it. I do think she's using her excuse of a website to wean herself off twitter. No twitters all day? Weird, for her.
Off topic, but anyone else notice that the two guys in the picture above seem to be wearing the same shoes? Maybe Kate requires her camera and sound guys to be matchy-matchy too! Just kidding, the shoes are probably just similar, but the thought of it made me smile.
Have a good week, everyone!

**********************
Me too. And if I can vote for him, with a clear conscience as far as his dancing goes, then I certainly will. But like you, I hate that 70% of the show is commercials and assorted junk. I would imagine he will be one of the last dancers.
I'm sorry but I am wondering how much longer this (wonderful!) blog can exist productively? I mean, it's starting to sound nit-picky "TBH." Who cares about Khate and her stupid website (no I haven't looked at it, and never will). The show is over , folks. "Nothing to see here..." Move on.
For those of you who continue to be "concerned for the kids" (don't you have more worthy causes than the entitled Gosselin children, I wonder?)- really, what can you realistically do any longer? They did NOT win the parent lotto (No...Jon is NOT perfect, rinse-and-repeat that statement), Khate is a raging lunatic with severe personality and even mental issues, and they do not have the benefit of a normal life or an extended family (thanks to their "mother"). But really, waiting for "someone" (like CPS or "The court") to ride in on their white chargers is a futile cause and you will be waiting a lOooong time. Neither is going to happen. OTher fish to fry for those two entities.
The ONLY hope those kids have (and I fear it is slim) is for Khate to somehow mysteriously not be their primary "caregiver" anymore.
Oh, and the only book I will EVER buy regarding this group of miscreants is the book I hope feverishly that Gina Neild may someday write!
Has anyone read Underwalt's (Kelly) tweets from the past three hours? I don't think I've ever read any tweets on that page that were as bullying, or as filled with hate as those...directed to fans. Is this person an imposter Underwalt?
Anyone know? Regrets?
KathyB and Mary Ann,
Big Hugs to u both. I lost my mom at 17. It's a loss like no other. Take care of yourself and give yourself the time you need to grieve.
You know what I think will prove to be the worst part of being one of the Gosselin 8? The fact that not only will it never go away, AND it will hit them--bam!--when they least expect it.
They may go months not even thinking about it--then a pap will jump out of the bushes for a where-are-they-now photo shoot. Or they'll be out with their own kids, and someone will figure out their identity and clumsily mention some embarrassing thing from an episode. Maybe a sibling will make news (hopefully for positive reasons, possibly for negative ones) and bye-bye anonymity for everyone else.
C (Who fought and lost the Blogger battle)
If you want to view Kate's site (and have a great laugh), but don't want to give her hits, I will give you the secret.
A news reader. I use google reader, personally. Frankly, anyone who visits websites regularly would benefit from a reader.
What you do is, you add your subscriptions and it keeps them all on one handy page and then you see what has been added to ALL the websites you read on that one page each day (or multiple times a day). Easy Peasy.
I just keep my google reader open 24/7 and check it periodically. I have like 70 web pages in it and I know at a glance when one of the pages I visit routinely has made a new post and I just click on it in the reader and read it.
If you want to read comments, you do have to click on the article and go to the actual web page, but most places I don't read comments, so no biggie.
It's great, no more loading tons of pages or keeping bunches of tabs open and hitting refresh. I highly recommend it.
Also one other fun perk is, if someone makes a post, but deletes it, google reader will pick up and keep BOTH posts. I just loaded Kate's site to make sure it was available in google reader before posting this and I can see it took her 2 tries to get her pathetic Q & A post up ;)
My guess is she made the original and her webmaster came along and cleaned it up (just based on the horrible look of the first try).
Now that I realize the entertainment factor this is going to provide, I'm keeping it in my reader LOL
Of course the kids are going to have a hell of a time adjusting to life away from the camera's.They have heard kate whine cry and bitch.Kate has told the kids...bye to all the free trips...Bye to the life that was paid for by TLC.The kids worry b/c kate has TOLD them.Kate has told them we will lose the house...we will lose the clothes...we will lose everything cause the show is gone now.
What a great mom!Kate has scared these kids.But,yet kate dosent let the kids know they have made MILLIONS and could get by just fine with a little down-sizing!If kate used the money well and invested...there shouldnt be a need for her to BEG for a job or more money.
This woman is a puke.She dosent want to be home with the kids.She wants a life on the red carpet.kate thinks she's EARNED that. Well....welcome to reality kate!
You deserve fame like any other ho...seeking 15 minutes of fame for doing nothing!
Like Holly,Bridget,and Kendra who banged Hef for fame...Like Jersery shore...asshole's with no clue...the 2 who invaded the Presidents party...ect and ect...All worthless people who were handed fame and are clueless...stupid...The clock has been ticking,,,kate...your time is done!
What Kate is now:
1. Kate wants attention because she has 8 kids.
2. Kate wants fame because she had 8 kids.
3. Kate wants money because she had 8 kids.
4. Kate wants free trips because she had 8 kids.
5. Kate wants pity because she had 8 kids.
6. Kate wants a TV career because she had 8 kids.
7. Kate wants help because she had 8 kids.
8. Kate wants what Kate wants regardless of how it will affect her 8 kids.
What Kate will be when her 8 kids are gone:
1. Kate will want attention because none of her 8 kids want to be with her.
2. Kate will still want fame because her 8 kids are now grown and she did a "Good Job."
3. Kate will still want money because she will still consider herself a brand of 8 kids.
4. Kate will still want free trips because she is the famous mother of 8 kids.
5. Kate will defintely want pity because all her 8 kids left her alone.
6. Kate will still want a career on TV to talk about how she was able to raise 8 kids all alone.
7. Kate will have help, but it won't be from her 8 kids it will be from 8 nurses.
8. Kate will get what Kate deserves regardless of how it will affect her 8 kids.
I see my posts are deleted one after the other.I'm not breaking any rules.I'm not calling any posters out.I'm not being rude. I have just asked why the posters here flock to anything Kate.I am not a Kate fan.But I see many here can't stop themselves from following anything Kate.
Like her new web-site.I'd say over 50% here have ran to the site just waiting to cry about it.If this woman pisses you off so much,and she makes you sick just to hear her voice..........Why do yo look at it?
The show is over ,the kids are not working atm....so why do you care where kate is and whats she's doing?You want to ask the lovers what they see in her.I have to ask why the haters are more devoted in seeking out kate than than lovers. ADDICTION anyone?Didnt u get what you want? The kids are off tv.Why follow anything and everything kate now?
Admit you follow kate to hate her.Just like the lovers follow her cause she draws them in,just like you the HATERS.
I made a post about how to read Kate's site without giving it hits. I'm trying to be general to get this post by the spam filter.
I don't want to repost the whole thing if it just got caught by the spam filter.
Can you check please Admin. If blogger ate it, I'll redo the post so people can benefit from the post, but I don't want to duplicate if it's just caught in the filter.
Just Wondering not sure why YOU are here if you have such a problem with this site, also you're violating rule number three by insulting folks, picking fights, refusing to let things go and move on.
I am still here for a number of reasons. Firstly did it occur to you some of us have been here months and years and LIKE each other and like communicating with each other? There's been some nice little internet friendships that has come out of this and dare I say this is a nice community most of the time.
Second you think just because the cameras are shut off everything is over for the kids? This went on six years. This post should speak for herself, as it asks how will the kids transition to a "normal" life. They have had six of the most intrusive years I think the reality tv world has ever seen with kids, and I think many of us are curious how they will do now that it's over, what the affects will be, will they thrive or dive. The social experiment playing with their childhoods has only just BEGUN, now the fallout begins. I also want to see what happens to their money. The filming is over, but what about protecting all that money? That question needs to be asked until these kids see every dime they have coming to them. To me, the real story here is not what happened when the kids were filming, but what happens when the filming stops and they go on with real life.
Yes I'm interested in what Kate does next. No one is trying to hide that. After watching the most severe case of narcissism I've ever seen in my life played out on TV for six years, not to mention a serious addiction to fame and wealth, where a person like that goes from here after having their lifeblood ripped from underneath them is of interest. Will she have a nervous breakdown or find some other avenue to exploit herself and the kids? She has made it clear she is ready and able to exploit these kids the second the opportunity comes up, I've got my eye on that crap.
I'm curious if Jon sticks to his guns on this and continues to give Kate hell.
Finally, I'm transitioning this blog to chronicle not just the Gosselins but other questionable, dangerous, concerning reality tv incidents. I recently did a post on the Real Housewives suicide and since his widow is doing her first interview I believe tomorrow, if she says anything of interest about reality tv and its role if any in that, I'll probably do a post.
So hopefully that answers your questions, you are free to discuss it but NOT free to harass, berate, bemoan, be a jerk.
Lake up north,
Thanks, hon for the nice words you wrote; I enjoy your posts, too,especially in the middle of the night with you and Teresa!
Sounds like you had some false labor, eh? I sure want you to keep us posted on when you have the baby and how you're doing.You could give Kate some tips!
I was reading over @ HC's and I read this. "Sheep- burps contribute to global warming"- so glad to hear those sheeple are good for something. LOL!
Did anyone notice that Little People Big World will be back in October for four specials? That didn't take long, so maybe Kate will have another day in the sun.
Big difference between the two families... Matt and Amy continued to work their butts off earning other income throughout the run of the show. You know they'll be fine, with or without their show.
Kate had opportunity after opportunity handed to her on a silver platter and blew every single one of them, just like she is blowing this website.
The only opportunity she had left to exploit were the ones who had no choice but to be used by her, and she did not hesitate. So so so so terribly sad. Awful awful mother... poor poor kids. :(

Yes, I saw them. Not an imposter. Like someone said a while back, he's a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The only reason I can come up with is he gets drunk sometimes and goes on Twitter and uses extreme profanity and insults. Later he'll show up and apologize. He's not funny anymore. He needs to go away.

--------------------------------
I haven't gone to her site, nor do I plan to. Not interested. I have heard all I need to from a couple of posters here, & it's THEIR choice to go if they want to.
I'm w/ Admin on this. The kids lives have been invaded for all of their young lives. They JUST got off TV & their real lives are just starting. I'm curious to know how this will play out for them with one of the WORST mothers I have ever seen in my life, who was on television & showed it. I never watched, but got the recaps here. I could not believe Kate would treat her children or the people in her life the way she did & does.
Will she continue to try & exploit her children? (well, yes, the website.) Will she TRY & continue to get them back on TV? Will she keep throwing Jon under the bus because she just cannot get over him?
And like Admin said, I have made a few internet friends, people I email & email me back on a weekly basis that I would hate to lose touch with. This website isn't JUST about Kate & the Gosselins. It's about ALL reality TV kids. And Kate started the WHOLE damn thing, w/ breaking rules & laws & exploiting those kids as far as the eye could see, w/ no regard for anything but herself.
~Hippie Chick~
Moon Over Miami
I am with Just Curious on this one. I have decided to just ignore. Not worth anyone's time, imo.
This thing with BM 'helping' with her site? BM is not all that technical. Her second in charge does many of the complicated things. I am sure that it may have just been suggestions on what to cover on the site, if that.
No one answered me, is there REALLY a section on FASHION on the site? LOL
Hippie Chick Will she continue to try & exploit her children? (well, yes, the website.) Will she TRY & continue to get them back on TV? Will she keep throwing Jon under the bus because she just cannot get over him?:
----------------------
This is far from over, she has clearly stated that she WILL do another reality show and her kids will be back on tv.

@Kateplusmy8. Saw Kate at Emmy's last nite. Why was she there!?
28 minutes agoFavoriteRetweetReply
====================
Is this a joke? I didn't see her there. Anyone?
Good Monday Morning to all! Thought I would get way OT if it's OK and give you a little something to say "Aww" about, if ya dont mind?
My brother-in-law lost his wife about 10 years ago. Just a few months before her cancer diagnosis, they had taken a 2nd honeymoon driving-trip to Vermont and Maine during September, for their 25th anniversary. It was literally the trip of a lifetime for them. He has since remarried to a lovely woman, widowed with 2 adult children of her own.
This week, bro-in-law and his only living child, now aged 30, have taken a 10 day driving-trip together to Maine and Vermont, just the two of them. Heaven is smiling down on them, I just feel sure of it right now. And God Bless his lovely 'new' wife, for being so supportive.
Now I have a Q about Katie: have there been ANY bus stop pics this school year? If not, I am SO glad! But I really wonder WHY not? Since after the divorce,the vast majority of the rag pics have never been pap pics as she loudly proclaims, but instead they were staged photos.
On a good day I’m about 126-128. On a bad day – well, more than that. I try to focus on health and how I feel rather than THE number… But, I’m a woman so what can I say?
3. What size do you wear?
I’m usually a 2 or a 4
************
Bullfuckingshit! I'm 5'6" and at one time, I dipped below 120 pounds and even then I was a consistent size 6, sometimes a 4 would fit, but rarely. A 2?? WTF?? There's only so much you can shrink but the fact is, Kate's not small-boned at all. She'd be a bag of bones if she were a size 2. Why lie? And I'm telling you, her top is in no way a size 2 or 4, more like a 6 to 8.
Kate is so full of shit. She is in no way a size 2 and whey the hell does she always talk about her size? What I want to know is what size her fake tits are. I'm betting Kate will never field that question.

How nice! Your BIL is a lucky man. Thanks for that.

Tucker's Mom...Kate is so full of shit. She is in no way a size 2 and whey the hell does she always talk about her size? What I want to know is what size her fake tits are. I'm betting Kate will never field that question."
----------------
It is obvious she is lying, once again. She has started this size thing with her obsession of losing weight/running and eating rabbit food. She doesn't care that other people can compare and know damn well she is not a 2 or 4. But just like her 'good bra' that is such an obvious lie, yet she still insists it's true. The doo-doo fans are fooled and for some reason, she thinks everyone is just as dumb.
Her obsession about food weight etc is troubling. I hope she isn't passing this crap on the kids.

@Kateplusmy8 I was super glad you're no longer on TV and then I see you at The Emmys. Geez, why?

=================
Hmm another post about the Emmys. DID ANYONE SEE HER? I surely didn't. But I did miss a little of it. What the hell is that idiot even there for? LOL
Thank you Kendra for being honest on the Today Show this morning. She says her reality show is authentic, but sometimes they need to repeat things like lines so they are sure to have it in the edit. At least she's not trying to pee on your leg and tell you it's raining, like Kate does. Why on earth would Mady tell the camera guy she was going to say it over if they never did retakes? Why did Jon say the kids didn't feel like filming an episode and revolted and went in to their pool? Kate even admitted that after a certain age, the crew couldn't just show up and film whatever, they have to contrive themes for episodes. Realest reality show my ass.
Tell me Kate didn't go to the Emmys?? Are you kidding me? That woman will find any excuse to leave her kids. I feel so sorry for them! And you just know that if she went, she wasn't taking the red eye to be back for the kid's school day, she'll make a sweet vacation out of it. 5 days at least.
Kate going to the Emmys is so pathetic. LOL She truly thinks she is a star. The high caliber stars that were there wouldn't let her shine their shoes. She is truly desperate.
Her obsession about food weight etc is troubling. I hope she isn't passing this crap on the kids.

Too late! Did you see Mady practically in extremis having to, wait for it.... eat a cheesesteak? Good grief, what 10 year old snubs a cheesesteak for a salad with chicken on it? Now I know some kids love salad, but me thinks Mady is modeling herself after Kate. Actually, it's painfully obvious she is and I"m betting that even at her young age, she's sworn off beef like her dodo mother. Kate, ps... beef is good for you! A nice lean flank steak is excellent nutrition. Egg yolks too! The best part!
I just don't get these daff women who think all of this real, good food is bad for you and eat nutrient poor, low fat, low cholesterol, low calorie foods that do nothing to fuel the body.
Re: Kate at the Emmys.
Think about it!! That's the first thing I thought when someone tweeted that Kate Gosselin was trying on dresses with sequins.
She was probably invited months ago, long before she really fell off the cliff. So what? Are there any red carpet pictures of her? Any pictures? Anywhere? Maybe someone spotted her when a camera panned across the audience.
I'm sure she was in for a very big shot when no one paid attention to her. We can look for the exclusive pics on her "awesome" website.... and hopefully nowhere else. :)
Whoops! "Shock", not "shot"!

Jimmy Fallon invited her to be part of the opening act. Kate has never cared that she's the butt of the joke, as long as she gets attention.
I believe the reality tv awards are given out the day before. Kathy Griffin calls them the "Shmemmys".

That is true, forgot about her shopping for the sequins. LOL Her manager or TLC wangled tickets most likely. Kate is NOT the caliber to be 'invited'. She was last year, because Fallon used her for the butt of his joke. I checked People site, since they love her. NO pictures that I saw at all of her. Oops.
She is just so desperate. Such a star in her own mind. LOL

Now I know some kids love salad, but me thinks Mady is modeling herself after Kate. Actually, it's painfully obvious she is and I"m betting that even at her young age, she's sworn off beef like her dodo mother. Kate, ps... beef is good for you! A nice lean flank steak is excellent nutrition. Egg yolks too! The best part!
I just don't get these daff women who think all of this real, good food is bad for you and eat nutrient poor, low fat, low cholesterol, low calorie foods that do nothing to fuel the body.

You have a point. I really, really hate to see that. I get portion control and not letting kids pig out, child obesity IS a huge problem in the US. But from what we have seen, it is way too much control. Bless those kids.
Wow, does this mean the tweeties won't get their "Monday Menu" A few have mentioned it. LOL
She announced this site on the 12th and one week later only one little section is up? With a few questions answered about herself? "NEW STUFF EVERYDAY!" She is already screwing up. What a failure this woman is.
I sincerely doubt Kate was at this year's Emmys. She would have been all over Twitter with it. They must have shown clip from last year.
I looked online and the only reference I saw to Kate Gosselin was her 2010 Emmy attendance. Did anyone find a pic that confirms she was there?
No Regrets said...No one answered me, is there REALLY a section on FASHION on the site? LOL
