"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."

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 528 of 528 Newer› Newest»Yes, if she was indeed at the Emmy's, it's been quiet. Any pictures will be courtesy of Steve. I guess once again he was her date. I mean really, the guy is her paid escort! And to top it off, Gina had to pretend to be friends with the man- stealing witch to quash the rumors about Kate and her husband. You know why we never see Gina anymore? Because she had enough. What really gets me about the sheeple is that they are perfectly fine with the Kate/Steve thing, whatever it turns out to be. In fact, they would cheer if Steve left his wife for Kate. What a bunch of hypocrites after bashing Jon.
And, btw, there are women out there who copy Kate's look so someone may have been mistaken about seeing her. I saw a woman dressed slutty like Kate with the same hairdo and I did a double take! Skank shoes, short shorts, bleached hair, the whole nine yards. The kicker was that she had to be in her 40's!!
. What really gets me about the sheeple is that they are perfectly fine with the Kate/Steve thing,
******
Any woman who gave a crap about her marriage and her husband would have changed "bodyguards" when Kate and Steve became rag mag covers with all the gossip associated with it.
I respect my husband and marriage too much to have my husband have to suffer through that like Jon did. He looked like a rube, a cuckold and I'd never have that if I could help it.
Kate just didn't give a crap about Jon's feelings as she was traveling the country with her gal Friday while Jon was Mr. Mom at home.

Thanks. Heck HEALTH is just as bad as a section on fashion. This woman knows NOTHING about nutrition. I am sure many will follow her stupid advice to their detriment. I sure hope people call her out on any bad advice she puts there.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2011
I wish:
…that airplanes had heated seats. The temperature is typically below zero in the cabin and the drafts are arctic!
…that my children would pick up their trash in OUR bus and put it in the trashcan… the same way they do on the school bus!
…that jealousy was not a feeling that existed. I have never been a jealous person and I don’t understand the concept of wasting time on worrying about what someone else has. I’d rather spend time on being grateful for what I DO have than being envious of what I’d like to have!
…that there was a beach in my backyard and that everyday there was full sunshine and warmth!
…that there was a place I could go and leave all of my stress and worries behind — a place that could remind me what it feels like to “relax.”
…that my children grow up with the ability to discern right from wrong, others intentions, feel true love, and be comfortable with who they were created to be!
…that there would be peace on earth and only love — no abuse, hurt, gossip, strife or struggles for anyone!
…that disposable clothing would be invented. Wear and toss… Imagine the time we moms would save!
…that each day would be 36 hours instead of 24. With that extras 12 hours, I could spend more time playing and talking with my kids, sleep more than 5 hours per night and I’d absolutely have NO excuses that I couldn’t run for 1.5 hours each day!
…that romantic love stories, like in the movies, truly existed in real life.
…that brownies, oreos, pizza, cheese, and chocolate — to name just a very few– were, as a rule, calorie free!
…that everyone would drop the “for having 8 kids” when they say “you look good”
…that every time I asked Shoka if he is going to help (carry groceries, etc.) he nodded “yes” with his head instead of wagging his tail…and then actually helped me!
These are just a few of my wishes… Doesn’t hurt to dream, does it?

I do NOT feel sorry for the kids when Kate goes off on one of her jaunts. It's that many days of no explosive melt downs and scream fests...
"I'm in control and that's NEVER going to change;"
"You should know by now if you're doing something for ME you'd better be running."
which must go on continually. The sheer number and noise of 8 kids drives her over the edge. It must be like a mini-vacation for the kids when she's gone.
GO KATE GO!!! Often.
There is NOTHING else new on Kate's site as of today. I posted the most recent entry for those of you that are curious about what she is posting there so hopefully you will not visit it and give her hits.
Tucker's mom very true,.. Had she had ANY respect at all for her home and/or marriage, she should have had Steve replaced the MINUTE her husband had any problems with her traveling with Steve.Let alone all the bad publicity. She should have shown respect for Gina as well.
It is very strange that Gina did not film for the finale of the show too. She had no problem with being photographed for that photo op at Kate's house, so the publicity wasn't the problem. Odd. Just odd.
Oh GAG ME!!!
Poor Kate the airplane is kept a wittle too cold for her.....Kate? Most middle class Americans can't even afford to get on an airplane anymore.
Poor Shoka, even he doesn't know how to help.
No Regrets, when Jon was explaining o I think Larry King how Steve made him uncomfortable, the first thing I thought was Kate has such little respect for her children's father that she won't give someone who makes him uncomfortable the boot. She put Steve above Jon and her marriage and his feelings and his discomfort. I thought it was disgusting and pathetic and when I say it takes two to divorce, that's exactly what I'm talking about.

Don't think I've seen this posted, excellent article about why Kate is losing fans, and why her situation with Jon is her own fault because of her own greed in wanting full custody and shutting him out. Good points.
Kate wishes for disposable clothing. What a dolt. Really, is laundry hard? She's already deforested countless trees with her paper plates, now she wants to destroy more resources. My gawd she is so fricking lazy. She doesn't even do the blessed laundry, her "girl" does it!!

EXACTLY what I thought too. Exactly. Why let your husband have those thoughts, and not do something about it. This woman has no sense of loyalty at all. None. I have said this many times and she keeps proving it, with her dissing her two BFF's too. But the thing with Steve has always gotten to me.
Next she'll want a disposable McMansion. Live there for awhile, trash the place and then move on to the next one.
Does she even hear herself to know how absurd she sounds?? She needs to read these blog posts back to herself before posting. Aloud.

This is in response to the posts made about her being jealous of Beth. LOL This is the idiot who said it 'annoyed her to see couples holding hands". And for this ungrateful ass to say she would rather spend time being grateful?? My gawd. What a total baffoon.
Kate's wish list sounds like another poor me. sob sob
I can't help but wonder how much she must have complained to Jon on a daily basis. I'm surprised he didn't plunge a stick through his eardrums.

Kate Gosselin Won't Miss 'Kate Plus 8' Fame
Now that "Kate Plus 8" has officially been cancelled, Kate Gosselin tells me that although she will certainly miss the paycheck from being on TV she will not miss the fame that went along with it.
“I just screamed at [the paparazzi] today,” the famous TV mom tells me. “And I said go away leave me alone. Go and photograph somebody else. Every day they leave me alone it’s a great day. If I have a job and it doesn’t go with paparazzi, great.”
Gosselin doesn’t buy the argument that the media attention was part of the profession she chose and says it’s the only part of her TV job that she couldn’t stand.
“If I could minus that part it would be the best thing ever. And I will tell you why -- they are only harmful,” she tells me. “They don’t tell the truth. Its always, like they will post I was out running and I didn’t run. Even little dishonesty like that. They never post the truth so how is that helpful to me?”
And while her critics maintain that Gosselin has enjoyed every second of her fame -- and all the perks that go along with it -- they also admit that finding another job to pay the bills while being so high-profile isn’t going to be easy.
“I would [get any job] if I had to,” Gosselin says. “I’m sure it would be hard but I would not let [fame] stop me from paying my kids' bills. I’m certainly not using it as an excuse. I would work it out. It is what it is and the bottom line is I have eight kids to provide for so I would figure it out.”
Good luck with that.

Well well. The "Wish List" makes its debut. That didn't take long. I guess she figures it's worth a try since her "Prayer List" on the family website turned out to be quite lucrative. Watch the list grow...this is only the beginning.

@Kateplusmy8 guess it's true what they say huh... I can never get a responce from you but i get harrassed for writting you something nice..

LOL She has gotten so many tweets like "are you mad at me?" "I can't get a response" "Have you forgotten about me" God Lord.

And as usual the BK ones. The ones who want a gold star for getting 'beat up' for her. Geez
MiloandJackFired Up 4 Kate
@Kateplusmy8 GM Kate!!!! ME thinks U are up 2 somethin! Let's hope it is somethin GOOD!! LOL Sure missed U last nite...got beat up 4 U! LOL!
My intrepretaions of Kate's Wish List: ( I used all caps so you can see what I wrote )
…that airplanes had heated seats. The temperature is typically below zero in the cabin and the drafts are arctic!
ARCTIC IS A SPELLING WORD THIS WEEK FOR MADY AND CARA, AND SHE USED IT IN A SENTENCE. GOOD JOB KATE.
…that my children would pick up their trash in OUR bus and put it in the trashcan… the same way they do on the school bus!
IT'S A CRAZY BUS, BUT IT'S "ARE" BUS.
…that jealousy was not a feeling that existed. I have never been a jealous person and I don’t understand the concept of wasting time on worrying about what someone else has. I’d rather spend time on being grateful for what I DO have than being envious of what I’d like to have!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA...OH KATIE YOU'RE SO FUNNY! YOU ARE THE MOST JEALOUS PERSON EVER. YOU ARE SOOO ENVIOUS OF WHAT REAL HOLLYWOOD CELEBRITIES HAVE IT'S RIDICULOUS. AND YES, YOU DO NEED TO SPEND TIME ON BING GRATEFUL FOR WHAT YOU HAVE, BECAUSE WE DON'T THINK YOU'RE GRATEFUL AT ALL.
…that there was a beach in my backyard and that everyday there was full sunshine and warmth!
UMMMMMMM......DON'T YOU HAVE A BIG ASS POOL AND 24 ACRES IN YOUR BACKYARD FULL OF SUNSHINE AND WARMTH? MANY PEOPLE DON'T EVEN HAVE THAT. NEVER HAPPY WITH WHAT SHE HAS.
…that there was a place I could go and leave all of my stress and worries behind — a place that could remind me what it feels like to “relax.”
ISN'T THAT WHAT THE SPORTSCAR IS FOR? WHY IS IT YOU HAVE SO MUCH STRESS ANYWAY? WREN'T YOU JUST RELAXING IN NYC WITHOUT YOUR KIDS? GETTING YOUR HAIR DID AND EATING AT FANCY RESTAURANTS AND WINNING BEAUTY CONTESTS?
NEVER HAPPY.
…that my children grow up with the ability to discern right from wrong, others intentions, feel true love, and be comfortable with who they were created to be!
AS LONG AS YOU ARE THEIR ROLE MODEL, THEY WON'T.
…that there would be peace on earth and only love — no abuse, hurt, gossip, strife or struggles for anyone!
IT NEEDS TO START IN YOUR OWN HOME.
…that disposable clothing would be invented. Wear and toss… Imagine the time we moms would save!
THERE'S THE "GO GREEN" KATE WE ALL KNOW! YAY! LET'S DIRTY UP THE PLANET WITH DISPOABLE CLOTHES SO KATE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE BOTHERED TO DO LAUNDRY ANYMORE! YAY! MORE TIME FOR TANNING!
…that each day would be 36 hours instead of 24. With that extras 12 hours, I could spend more time playing and talking with my kids, sleep more than 5 hours per night and I’d absolutely have NO excuses that I couldn’t run for 1.5 hours each day!
GET OFF TWITTER AND YOUR WEBSITE FOR 12 OF THOSE HOURS AND YOU WON'T NEED AN EXTRA TWELVE TO SLEEP AND PLAY WITH YOUR CHILDREN. PROBLEM SOLVED.
…that romantic love stories, like in the movies, truly existed in real life.
THEY DO. BUT NOT FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE TOO MEAN AND DON'T RESPECT ANYONE.
…that brownies, oreos, pizza, cheese, and chocolate — to name just a very few– were, as a rule, calorie free!
OK. I AGREE WITH THIS ONE.
…that everyone would drop the “for having 8 kids” when they say “you look good”
THEN YOU WOULD NEVER HEAR IT AT ALL. BECAUSE YOU LOOK A LOT OLDER THAN YOU REALLY ARE, IF TRUTH BE TOLD.
…that every time I asked Shoka if he is going to help (carry groceries, etc.) he nodded “yes” with his head instead of wagging his tail…and then actually helped me!
EVEN THE FRIGGIN' DOG CAN'T GET IT RIGHT.
Oh dear God, can Kate ever STFU about the paparazzi? She acts like they hounds her every day, her every move and yet, where are the pictures? I haven't seen any tanning, manipedi, Target, Whole Foods. And zero pics from the bus stop.
Where are these paps she loves to complain about? "I hate the paps, so I'm going to talk about them all day long and dance to Paparazzi and smile like a Cheshire cat in NYC". Plus she knows the sluttier she dresses, the more attention she'll get.
The woman POSES for them, for Pete's sake and her avatar is a pap pic.
The day when no one follows her with a camera will be a sad one for dear Kate.
OH? The "paparazzi" are the ones that don't tell the truth??
…that my children grow up with the ability to discern right from wrong, others intentions, feel true love, and be comfortable with who they were created to be!"
---------
Children have to be taught, not just hope they grow up to do this. YOU have to teach these things. YOU are not comfortable with who you were created to be, so how they can possibly be? ROLE MODEL. that is one important job. Do it Kate. Learn you J.O.B.
------------
Funny, when I feel stress my comfort zone where I relax and feel the happiest and secure is my HOME. Even when my kids were young and at home. This was and still is my peace. I don't have to 'go' anywhere. But that is just me.
Like I said yesterday, her twittering is now going to be a daily invite to come look at her website - puhleeze come see my new blog post, puhleeze. Nope. Never.
Paying her kids' bills? What a piece a work. How often do they have to hear that. And she wonders why some dislike her so. Her logic is so skewed.
“I would [get any job] if I had to,” Gosselin says. “I’m sure it would be hard but I would not let [fame] stop me from paying my kids' bills. I’m certainly not using it as an excuse. I would work it out. It is what it is and the bottom line is I have eight kids to provide for so I would figure it out.”
Huh? When did he talk to Kate? She's speaking as if losing her job is only a possibility, not like it's happened.
His columns are like one interview he had with her a while back that he's split into weekly snippets. He's a crappy writer besides. UGH

----------------
This is in response to the posts made about her being jealous of Beth
.
You said it, No Regrets! She wanted everything Beth had, and was willing to fight and claw her way into getting all of it. Is it just coincidence that she bought her big house in the same area as Beth? Is it a coincidence that she bought a 2-seater sports car like Beth had? Is it just coincidence that she sends all 8 of her kids to the same private school where one or more of Beth's kids went? Is it just coincidence that she is obsessed with going to the spa, which was something Beth did occasionally to relax and regroup? It's all a little too coincidental. And it has to be said that Beth achieved that kind of lifestyle without allowing the whole world to see her kids naked or turning herself into a notorious bitch.
Kate can chase all the material possessions, but as we have seen, she won't be happy. Beth seemed like a truly nice, happy, content person. Kate can never be that way. She can't just stop and enjoy what she has, because she always wants more, more, MORE! And she has been so horrible to everyone around her that she is in danger of losing it all.
Kate's followers are now comparing her to Martha. Oh, please! She is so crass, who would want to emulate her? Now, Beth? SHE would be a great Martha. Think about it, Martha's 70 now. Who will fill her shoes? I say, BETH! Can we start a petition?
ADMIN what a GREAT article you posted. It is SO right on target it is unreal!
Kate doesn't rate said...His columns are like one interview he had with her a while back that he's split into weekly snippets. He's a crappy writer besides. UGH"

BINGO that is exactly what he did. LOL
Seriously, to all moms out there? Is LAUNDRY one thing you hate the most? For me it's the bathrooms (4 girls....makeup/hair product ugh!), the vacuuming, the mopping of the floors, dishes etc...laundry is washed by a MACHINE, you can SIT ON YOUR RUMP to fold, you can have your kids PUT AWAY their laundry...I believe LAUNDRY is the ONE and ONLY one "mommy" chore she does...oh, that's right...she has a girl for that.
"Anonymous said...Kate's followers are now comparing her to Martha"

I almost hurt myself laughing over that comparison they made. LOL Kate is a media creation alright, just as she said, except the media is TLC and they 'created' a super mommy, super everything and this woman is just fake all the way, in everything. It will be shown and come out very soon, since she is exposing herself like this on the website and twitter. I just don't understand how blind people can be .
…that my children grow up with the ability to discern right from wrong, others intentions, feel true love, and be comfortable with who they were created to be!"

Oh do tell, dear Kate. Who WERE your children created to be, aside from their role as your little financiers ? When they DO grow up and sort out right from wrong they'll see what YOUR intentions were. Careful what you wish for.
I agree Admin, she really needs to read what she writes out loud to herself before she hits enter. What an idiot.
I say again, this woman is delusional! What will never change is Kate's attitude. She is ungrateful in all aspects of her life. She is unhappy in a big way and it affects every corner of her life. Remember when Jon said, "get the stick out?" She never did. It's still firmly implanted. Trying desperately to stay relevant, Kate? Makes herself so unattractive in every way. Remember, pretty is, as pretty does. I wish Jon had more physical custody of the 8 kids. He appears to be the most grounded of the two parents at this time. Kate is a delusional, want-to-be, envious, previous television personality. Note: Previous.
Tucker's Mom said...
Oh dear God, can Kate ever STFU about the paparazzi? She acts like they hounds her every day, her every move and yet, where are the pictures?
No paps hanging around her house lately, not even right after the cancellation was announced. I'm sure she misses them now! Without them, she might just feel...irrelevant! She just WISHES she had them to complain about now!
By comparison, last time the show was cancelled (divorce), they were everywhere. Now...(sound of crickets chirping).
Oh, and the website is just a desperate attempt to keep herself relevant. No show business offers, so she is trying to keep herself "out there" and busy. Nobody had to offe her a website, she could do it on her own. And all her fawning, drooling followers can email her and tell her she's a natural beauty, and the world's most wonderful mother, blah, blah, blah. Feeds her bruised ego. Of course, she hopes this blog will make her loads of money, and someday she can show someone in show business how huge her following is and they will feel compeeled o give her her own show. Oh, dream on, Kate.
Kate the new Martha? That's a hoot. Kate is not a good cook as seen by her hysterical meatloaf recipe. She rips off recipes too. She doesn't read cookbooks because she's endowed with innate cooking skills?
I'm a home gourmand and I learn from watching cooking shows and reading books. You can't take your skills to the next level without challenging yourself.
Kate also has no sense of style, for herself or her home. That house is cold and stark, despite getting all free furnishings from Lane and a kitchen renovation. I mean, get a house plant or 2 woman!

Gee Kate, why don't you just contradict yourself in the wording of your own blog!!! Her last line on this "I WISH point is....I’d rather spend time on being grateful for what I DO have than being envious of what I’d like to have!
Aren't some of these things on this list things she wishes she had....
*a cleaning crew for her van
*her own beach
*well behaved kids
*a vacation home
*disposable clothing - UGH don't get me started
obviously not focusing on what she DOES have and being grateful for it!!!
She will never be a happy and content person. No amount of wishing can make it happen. It is just not possible with her. No matter how much she has been blessed with given or grifted for free, she will never be happy.

LOL. She seems like the type who leaves the plastic on the couch and lamps.
Mmmmmmm... I just made a batch of hummus for lunch- far more appealing to me than caring one iota what that vapid woman "wishes".
Kate can go sit on a heated airplane seat and rotate, for all I care.
Here's a wish at the top of my "Wish List":
-That Katie Irene sucks it up, and does what trillions of mothers do everyday- puts on her big mommy pants, gets the job done and STFU!
Bat-sh*t crazy Kate's has banished so many friends/slaves (I mean, people) that she's now asking poor Shoka to help her carry groceries ;o)
Shoka needs a union card, STAT!
Why do you think she's so obsessed about the laundry?
It's the only household task that she ever ̶b̶i̶t̶c̶̶h̶e̶s̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶m̶o̶a̶n̶s̶ talks about.
How come she doesn't fuss about dusting or mopping or whatever?
I don't get this obsession with laundry. It's not like she personally does ANY of these tasks, so why the focus on laundry???
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.
***************
Thanks, Curious and Regrets. I've seen his constant bullying of fans, but never with the vulgarity that I read last night. I just wondered if it was an imposter (such as the one who possibly took on Big Fan's identity) because his avatar was different and I found it hard to believe that anyone would go off on another tweeter like that. In addition, he said that since Kate was off-air, he was finished with Twitter, then showed up here, and now back on Twitter. Something is "off" there. REALLY off! It's indeed scary, and you're right - best to ignore. A repeat offender can only apologize so often until it no longer means anything. Thanks again for your response.
I think the Emmy clip was from last year.

************************************************
How RIDICULOUS!!!
Pardon me, Kate doesn't even hold a candle to Martha Stewart. They may both be bitchy/witchy, but at least Martha is talented, and enterprising. Kate's is just bitchy/witchy, untalented, and her poor attitude ruins everything she tries to do.
Sorry OT, just having a little brain burp:
Anyone remember the "I Love Lucy" episode, where the man went crazy whenever he heard the word "Martha", his ex-wife's name?
"Slowly I turn, step by step, inch by inch..."
:o)
So, Lane furnished her house? Shame on them! It is all so tacky! The dining room chairs are awful, and the chairs in the family room (the one off the kitchen, where the kids wre siting when Alexis screeched, "Happy Birthday, Mommy!) are just hideous. Perhaps I shouldn't blame them, I'm sure Kate picked out the fabrics, and we all know she has not taste at all. She really needs to get a stylist and an interior decorator, and--as someone said above--some house plants or fresh flowers or something ALIVE in that cold, dead house.
I agree that there is no way Kate could ever squeeze into a size 4, much less a size 2. I'm small boned (size 5.5N shoe and size 4 ring), 5'1" and, until I had to start taking steroids to control an auto immune disorder, I weighed between 90-95#. I NEVER wore a 2 on the bottom, and usually not even a 4. I could sometimes wear a 2 top if it was full cut, and Kate is much bustier than I am, even with the weight gain. I usually wore a 5/6 or a 7. There's no way, with her larger frame and stocky torso that she wears anything smaller than an 8, and I'm betting 10.
I watched the Emmys last night and the only glimpse of Kate I saw was when they showed a clip of last year's opening number. So I doubt she was really there. Some Sheeple probably saw that clip, thought it was this year's show, and the rumors are off and running (I know that horses and cows stampede. What do sheeple do?).
I still don't think Kate's meatloaf recipe sounded all that bad. It's similar to the one I learned from my Mom, and everyone loves it. I only use one egg and I've never put carrots in mine, but I just might try it some day LOL.
readerlady
How long until there is a section on the web page for suggested "Love Offerings"? For example:
1. Target gift cards (although the sleeple have caught onto that. She just wants MORE of them).
2. Giant store gift cards
3. Whole Foods gift cards
4. Gift certificates to any and every spa she can think of
5. Gift certificates for dog grooming (so she doesn't have to)
6. Gift cards to Nobu, STK, and Fig and Olive (in amounts not less than $100, please)
7. A new van (she has to approve the color first, of course)
8. A beach house on Bald Head Island (this has to be a gift, not just a free week in the summer)
9. Free babysitting
10. Free house cleaning services
11. Free pool maintenance
12. Free lawn care
13. Someone to build and maintain her web site for her, but let her take all the credit
14. Pre-paid tuition for her kids at LCDS
15. Gift cards for Gymboree, Gap, and any other kids' clothing stores she can think of. DO NOT buy the kids clothes yourself! They must all be chosen by Kate, in perfectly matching sets of 2 or 6.
Wow, a whole new way for her to grift!
Cause, you know, Kate has 8 kids to support (Cough, cough) all by herself!

Hi readerlady, it's not that the recipe for meatloaf wasn't good, it's just that Kate makes it sound as if SHE came up with the idea of adding veggies to meatloaf. If she had any brains (hypothetically speaking of course) she'd say "here's a recipe I learned from so and so and thought I'd share it with you". But no she has to make it sound like it was all her doing. I've put veggies in my meatloaf for as long as I can remember and probably so have a lot of others, and never thought a thing of it. It's not a new concept for most of us. lol.
She doesn't know how to interface with people and invite stories or recipes etc from them, because that would mean she couldn't take credit. It's got to be all about her. That's why she'll never have her own talk show either. She could only invite herself as a guest.
I know that horses and cows stampede. What do sheeple do?....
- - - - - - - -
LOL This made me think of a sheep ranch I visited in CO. Huge pens with hundreds of sheep in each. Every little thing scared them and they all ran to opposite end of the pen. If you startled one near you they all took off. Not even one looked to see if there really was anything wrong (ie: thought for themselves).
sounds like sheeple to me.
Tucker's Mom said...
Kate the new Martha? That's a hoot. Kate is not a good cook as seen by her hysterical meatloaf recipe. She rips off recipes too. She doesn't read cookbooks because she's endowed with innate cooking skills?
I'm a home gourmand and I learn from watching cooking shows and reading books. You can't take your skills to the next level without challenging yourself.
Hello from another home gourmand! I love all the cooking shows, and have shelves and shelves of cookbooks. I would love to take some classes, but haven't had time other than a few Saturday lessons at Williams Sonoma (my home away from home).
As for that cold, stark house, I so agree with you. Her furniture is atrocious, and there is no life to it. I keep vases of fresh flowers all over, and there are baskets of toys in every room of my house. I have kids, and it is their home, too. I refuse to banish them from any room just so it will look "nice" all the time. With 8 kids, why isn't there more evidence of them in other parts of the house (other than the basement and all the high chairs in the kitchen). And WHO, in the name of all that is holy, still puts their 7-year-olds in high chairs? Mady and Cara weren't in high chairs at that age. Either the sextuplets are severely developmentally delayed, or she is desperately trying to make them seem younger so that viewers will still find them cute. I guess that explains the rant about being in the RV with the preschoolers.
Remember the very first "Surviving Twins and Sextuplets" episode when Mady, who would have been 4 or 5 at the time, was reading a note from her mom? And yet one of the little girls (Alexis, I think) was going down the chores list saying, "I don't know what that says, and I don't know what that says..." at age 7! So perhaps they are developmentally delayed. Maybe that's why they didn't start first grade until this year. But really, it seems like they are being forced to be that way.
Is Kate reading my effing blog??? I have an 'I Wish' blog I do randomly. Copycat. Someone tell that plagiarist to get her own damn ideas. Is she going to start doing Top 10's & video synopisis' (sssss) as well? Well, I KNOW I didn't invent the Top 10. But still...mine are pretty clever if I do say so myself.
And this whole Health section of hers that she'll be starting? WHAT & HUH? "For breakfast, eat oatmeal, the steel ones, & don't eat anything but coffee until dinner, then make a it 2 lettuce leafs, some beans to make you fart & a Pringle. And don't forget to RUN RUN RUN! And wear TONS of makeup". Yeah...
~Hippie Chick~
Remember when they were picking out the tiles for the new house? She wanted these dreadful black/grayish tiles that Jon said didn't match the furniture. The color he picked out, the brown variegated tiles did go much nicer and DID match perfectly. He was teasing on the couch interview that he picked them, she blew a gasket and said he was acting like a kid and ohhh so juvenile. She was truly mad. LOL He was only kidding, but she knew she has no style and it pissed her off to admit he was right. LOL
It shows in her home, the way she dresses. She does have nice clothes, (except the hoochie mama wear) and nice shoes, but has NO clue how to pair them. Those plain daisy duke shorts with the plain white t-shirt and the dressy red super high heels together was just awful.
She loves wearing heels, ok fine, but look when she wears them. So many times she has worn them when it was just not practical at all. She looks very foolish and thinks she is being 'dressed up'. Someone commented on twitter they were surprised she didn't have heels on when she "built' the chicken coop. She actually said she would have, but there would have been an 'uproar' if she did. You know, I believe she would have. LOL She really is quite pathetic and well...silly is the only thing I can think of. Desperate and silly looking. She truly has no self awareness at all.
If I had been with her when she wears them at inappropriate times, I would have been embarrassed.

Plus 20 or more boxes of organic cereal (not expired) and 20 cases of SoBe, all delivered to her house on a weekly basis.
Oh, but my "I Wish" blogs aren't all about me, btw. They are more like "I Wish There was a direct line to God" type of thing. Just thought I'd throw that out there....so they ARE different. And they are "What If" MY BAD!! OOPPPPSSSS!! LOL

The 4th of July cake? She said "I thought and thought and came up with design for the cake." I KNOW that design had been around a long time. It was featured on the cover of a Home and Gardens magazine several years ago. And has been shown many times since then. I remembered it well. For her to say SHE thought it up was just incredible.

Anonymous said... I watched the Emmys last night and the only glimpse of Kate I saw was when they showed a clip of last year's opening number. So I doubt she was really there. Some Sheeple probably saw that clip, thought it was this year's show, and the rumors are off and running (I know that horses and cows stampede. What do sheeple do?).

I’d agree except this was tweeted last night by Jenna Kim Jones who was at the Emmys:

Kate Gosselin is here. Really trying not to let that ruin this for me.
That 15 Passenger Van was on thier prayer list for almost TWO years before they finally bought one themselves. LOL The blogs in the Reading newspaper has tons of posts that said FINALLY you bought something for yourself? WOW.

Regrets, Why it is so IMPOSSIBLE for a narcissist to give credit where credit is due? Rhetorical question, I know. lol.
And I think Jon's dad finally caved and bought that van for them. He probably couldn't listen to Kate whine about it any longer. Poor man went to his grave knowing his son was married to that woman. I feel bad for him.
Pay my kids bills...
That's an odd turn of phrase when your kids are 7 and 10. The bills are usually the ADULTS. She really does think those kids are meant to support her and themselves.
I tried to post this last night and it didn't go through (probably in the spam filter).
To read Kate's site without giving it hits, you need a news reader. I prefer the one by the major search engine that starts with a G.
They are very handy and if you read a lot of websites they are so nice.
I did double check to make sure Kate's site was available and it is and as an added bonus if a post is made and deleted the reader will pick it up so you can still see it.
So I could see her first attempt at the pathetic Q&A. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA *gasp* HAHAHAHAHAHA Her webmaster must have come along and fixed the formatting and whatnot for her.
Now that I know the entertainment value it's going to give I'm leaving it in my reader ;)
"If" Kate G. was at the Emmy's it did her no good because there is no press about it or anything. No photos, no red carpet- nada, zilch, nothin' I highly doubt she was there. Maybe the tweeter was looking at Kathy Lee Gifford or Dina Lohan and thought it was Kate. ;-) They all look the same anyway.

He probably did buy it for them, not sure. I think he had passed by then though. I do remember a nice remembrance they wrote on the site for him, and directly under that remembrance, the WISH LIST. I was a fan then, but it struck me as so wrong. A nice write up followed immediately by it seemed like 'oh yeah but don't forget we want this'. There was even a write up in the paper about that. They were just so needy and so greedy.
Auntie Ann,
Thanks for that trip down memory lane. How dare you beg for donations and have the GALL to SPECIFY where each item should come from????
You see what a pompous entitled bitch she ALWAYS was??? Her kids were NEVER going to wear clothes from Target or Walmart, oh the HORROR!
If I correctly recall, the van WAS donated (by whom, not sure) but they had the nerve to EXCHANGE IT for a DIFFERENT COLOUR!! Can anyone vouch for this?

Actually, I read long ago that Kate's father's church gave them a van, and she was furious because she didn't like the color (it was burgundy), so she traded it in on the BBB. That fiasco, along with the non-matching cribs and non-matching clothing her father's congregation gave her, led to her estrangement from her family. Is that just the most petty, materialistic thing you have ever heard, or what?
Pink - I remember that Lucy episode! I thought the routine was originally from something else, though I have no idea what.
The article Admin posted from greencelebrity.net was pretty much right on, except when they said
"If Jon Gosselin cared about himself and his wife, he would not have encouraged her to have so many kids." I think we all know he never encouraged her in anything like that and was quite happy as a family of four. And then they call him a ne'er-do-well, which may have been accurate for a while a couple of years ago, but whoever wrote that needs to update him/herself on the current reality.

I have like 70 pages in my reader. I love it and don't know how I lived without one :)
Someone upthread mentioned that Kate responds to her tweeties, but not so much to BrownNose, that perhaps she has recognized that befriending someone who lives close to her isn't such a good idea. I hope she at least got wise to that.
I had insomnia last night and thought maybe reading some of BrownNose's tweets would put me to sleep. I noticed that one of the people she is following is a very popular celebrity friend of mine. My first reaction, after my mouth dropped open was, "oh, no!"
I just hope she's not as obsessed with him as she is with Kate, and doesn't start with the "DM follow me" banter, or doesn't offer to pick up organic cereal for him! Perhaps I should let him know and give him a heads up!
Vanessa the BBB was bought by Jon and Kate. They got it used from some club or school or something. I can't remember the exact specifics on it, but it was not donated. There was another van they had that she didn't like the color. They had 3 vehicles.
No Regrets, I think you are correct. They may have purchased that van from inheritance money after Jon's dad passed.
Vanessa, I should have posted the source. It's from
http://sixgosselins.blogspot.com/2008/09/what-is-on-your-prayer-list.html
I agree with you. Back then it appears as if neither of them had any shame. That list reads like a bride's gift registry.

=========
Perhaps you are right, I don't remember it that way. Jon was blogging at the time, and I remember reading his posts. I do know they ended up with THREE vehicles.
RE: the flag cake
Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa) did the flag cake for Marhta Stewart Living at least 10 years ago. So, as far as Kate's claim that she thought and thought and came up with the design...BULL!!
I also noticed no tweets from last night (Emmys?), but now she just posted that she has a new blog up on her web site. So, if she was at the Emmys (Shmemmys), then we know it's not her working on he blog. As if there was any question about that to begin with...
So, I wonder what it would be like to go to the Emmys and be snubbed by everyone and treated like a has-been...she has no pride. The Emmys are for show business, and she no longer belongs to that wold. She needs to haul her sorry, old, has-been self back to Wernersville where she belongs.
Still...why would she have neglected to brag to her flock about going to the Emmys,if she actually went? She'd want to brag, and they would all use that as proof that she is still a star. Why the silence?

Translation: Someone else put out the $4thetrip so Igot2go4nothing.
One week of unemployment and counting.
I'm guessing that she believed she was a big star in her own right, and TLC was just holding her back. That's why she got so bitchy with the crew and wanted them to do her manual labor (and stop playing like we're filming a TV show). She thought she didn't need them, and then they dumped her and she's nothing. Be careful what you wish for, Kate, or you just might get it. I guess you've figured out how big a star you are on your own, haven't you?
Pssst Milo and Jack have you sent that Target gift card yet? You were SO worried about her. She might REALLY need it now after her quick mad dash to LA. ...snicker..
Kate's idiot manager probably popped for the airfare and ticket for the Emmys (which was probably comped) in a desperate attempt to get someone to notice her and give her some kind of work.

Can you copy and past her first attempt here?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The answers are all the same (aside from some typos). It's the formatting that is funny. There is no bolding to set the answer apart from the question, the picture is not included and the answers are clearly copied from another document (likely an email) because they are not using the full space available.
Here is an example (I'm not sure how well it will translate on the blog, but I will try)
Original:
5. If you could change one characteristic about
yourself what would it be?
I would love to have a kind answer and be
able to deliver a kind tone, everytime to
everyone. This is something that I am aware
that I don’t always “get right” and
am working on this trait to improve my
interaction with others… I have seen some
improvement over the years and I hope to
perfect it… at least before I die! Lol!

Ok it looks like the formatting does stay when I copy over, so here is the original blog post. This is just a direct copy/paste. I have changed no spacing or anything:
Many of you have asked personal questions about ME. Here are some honest answers that are
mixed with a bit of hesitation –
1. How tall are you?
I am 5’ 10.5” Oh, without heels you mean? Oops, ok, I’m 5’ 6.5” on my flat feet
2. How much do you weight?
On a good day I’m about 126-128. On a bady 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
4. If you could change one thing physically about
yourslef, what would it be?
I’d like to be taller and built smaller…
And I’d love to have long, endless, skinny
legs… Wouldn’t we all? :)

This is from Kate's latest post on her website under "My 8cents"
I wish:
…that airplanes had heated seats. The temperature is typically below zero in the cabin and the drafts are arctic!
…that my children would pick up their trash in OUR bus and put it in the trashcan… the same way they do on the school bus!
…that jealousy was not a feeling that existed. I have never been a jealous person and I don’t understand the concept of wasting time on worrying about what someone else has. I’d rather spend time on being grateful for what I DO have than being envious of what I’d like to have!
…that there was a beach in my backyard and that everyday there was full sunshine and warmth!
…that there was a place I could go and leave all of my stress and worries behind — a place that could remind me what it feels like to “relax.”
…that my children grow up with the ability to discern right from wrong, others intentions, feel true love, and be comfortable with who they were created to be!
…that there would be peace on earth and only love — no abuse, hurt, gossip, strife or struggles for anyone!
…that disposable clothing would be invented. Wear and toss… Imagine the time we moms would save!
…that each day would be 36 hours instead of 24. With that extras 12 hours, I could spend more time playing and talking with my kids, sleep more than 5 hours per night and I’d absolutely have NO excuses that I couldn’t run for 1.5 hours each day!
…that romantic love stories, like in the movies, truly existed in real life.
…that brownies, oreos, pizza, cheese, and chocolate — to name just a very few– were, as a rule, calorie free!
…that everyone would drop the “for having 8 kids” when they say “you look good”
…that every time I asked Shoka if he is going to help (carry groceries, etc.) he nodded “yes” with his head instead of wagging his tail…and then actually helped me!
These are just a few of my wishes… Doesn’t hurt to dream, does it?

Kate at the Emmys and not one pic?
She's such a piece of work. She cries poor, all panicked about money, and she treats herself to a trip to CA. As I said, any excuse to get away from her house and kids. If I were one of those kids, I'd be very hurt, depressed even, if my mom found any excuse to leave for several days.
Another vacation for Kate. What a stressed out mom! How anyone can make excuses for this is beyond me. Do the kids have a nanny get them up at the crack of dawn for school? Does a nanny help the kids with homework, make dinner and put them to bed at night?
Kate's got a lot of nerve dissing Jon when she abandons those kids every chance she gets. It's HER who doesn't want to be with them, no Jon.
I don't know why, but this galavanting like she's got not a care or responsibility gets under my skin.
Anyone else?
Anyone can go to the Emmy's. You purchase tickets for the balcony. Not everyone gets to walk the red carpet and get interviewed.
Not saying Kate sat in the balcony, but even if she did walk on the carpet she was not noticed. I haven't seen an interview with her yet.
Waste of time.
But it does make sense that she tweeted a "good morning" when it was already 11:30am here in PA.
Regarding her Blog. She uses WordPress, you access it via the internet with an administrative back end. it's basically this url: http://www.kateplusmy8.com/wp-admin and if you know her password and login, you can get in. (I told you before WP is not hacker safe.) Whoever set her website up is setting her up for some major issues soon.
I doubt very seriously she was at the Emmy's. If she did go, she would've been shouting it from the rooftops before being asked about it by a tweep. And she would've shoved the real celebs out of the way of the microphone on the red carpet.
I think she was just embarrassed that she was not invited and had no one to go with anyway.
I will not believe it for one second unless there is photo proof she was there. And there isn't yet. I believe had she been there, there would be a picture or two by now.
So, at this this moment I say she's totally lying. As always. Her ass was home watching it on tv as she downed her box of wine and Fig Newtons.

@Kateplusmy8 Yep...there U go folks! Kate has friends...friends in high places! LOL! And yet she still tweets her tweeties as well! :)
Uh yeah. She has friends in high places alright. While tweeting her mediocre tweeties. What a gal. LOL
From the 'Reader' here's a post in action:
I guess Kate hasn't answered it yet?
First “Words from Fans” Posting
by admin
Kate,
I have always watched your show, and now that it’s gone I feel like I should share something with you (whether you actually read this or not). Everytime I heard someone criticize you for your controlling and over-the-top personality (especially during your divorce), I always felt bad for you, and secretly a little guilty. Bad for you because I felt like, a lot of the time, although you might have been a teensy bit nicer, you were just in your frustration and had reason to get as upset as you did. Some people dont realize that kids are a handful, but 8 kids would probably test a person in a way that might, sometimes, leave you at your wits end. Even in the earlier shows I felt so bad and thought to myself, “I would get that upset if my husband was always needing constant instruction, and I had 9 kids to take care of instead of 8″.
Then I felt guilty because you were being publicly criticised for behavior that I often exhibit in my own home only having 2 children :(
Something about society always expects a mother, and mainly a woman, to be submissive and nice and sweet. Perpetually in a good mood – all the time – no matter what. To have a female on television displaying something a little more real was a breath of fresh air. Also refreshing is your ownership of your flaws. Your mission to focus on being kinder towards people in the way you speak to them and interact is amazing, and is something I think about a lot as well. It’s not easy (what would be easy is if everyone could just read our minds and do things the way we want them done, right?), but I am trying to change this about myself one day at a time.
You will always be a role model for me, and I will always be a loyal fan – good days or bad. I deperately hope you end up having a new job in television, bc I think a lot of strong willed women need you as a public figure. But more importantly, I hope you find a way to give your kids the life you want for them.
Stephanie M.
Do you agree with this perspective? Why or why not?
Respond to this email with ‘response to words from fans’ in your subject line
Rob Shuter again posted on HuffCelebrity an article: "Kate Gosselin Won't Miss 'Kate Plus 8' Fame
_____________________
Now that "Kate Plus 8" has officially been cancelled, Kate Gosselin tells me that although she will certainly miss the paycheck from being on TV she will not miss the fame that went along with it.
“I just screamed at [the paparazzi] today,” the famous TV mom tells me. “And I said go away leave me alone. Go and photograph somebody else. Every day they leave me alone it’s a great day. If I have a job and it doesn’t go with paparazzi, great.”
Gosselin doesn’t buy the argument that the media attention was part of the profession she chose and says it’s the only part of her TV job that she couldn’t stand.
“If I could minus that part it would be the best thing ever. And I will tell you why -- they are only harmful,” she tells me. “They don’t tell the truth. Its always, like they will post I was out running and I didn’t run. Even little dishonesty like that. They never post the truth so how is that helpful to me?”
And while her critics maintain that Gosselin has enjoyed every second of her fame -- and all the perks that go along with it -- they also admit that finding another job to pay the bills while being so high-profile isn’t going to be easy.
“I would [get any job] if I had to,” Gosselin says. “I’m sure it would be hard but I would not let [fame] stop me from paying my kids' bills. I’m certainly not using it as an excuse. I would work it out. It is what it is and the bottom line is I have eight kids to provide for so I would figure it out.”
Good luck with that.

Admin. I remember you said that Kate wrote in her last book about how she liked the media. Any page references?
Do people who purchase tickets for the Emmys (balcony) get to go in the same entrance as the "real" stars? I can't see that simply purchasing the tickets gives one the right to walk the red carpet. But maybe there is a separate entrance, which would be the reason she wasn't photographed.
It's my guess that she bought her own ticket and plane ticket (and hotel, most likely) so that she could save face. And this is a woman who needs a job "like, yesterday". Well, when the day comes that the big house is being foreclosed on and she has to struggle to feed the kids, this little "mad dash" to the Emmys is going to look pretty stupid. And people are buying her organic cereal and sending her gift cards? What the hell???!!!
2. How much do you weight?
On a good day I’m about 126-128.
====
120 if she'd take the stick out.
Kate is such a shallow, conceited, insipid TWIT...she belongs on twitter...it was made for her. And I don't believe for one second she was at the Emmy's. Even though she's a nobody, she would have been photographed because of her recent cancellation. More likely, she was getting another "do" at the hair salon. POS.
Respond via email? Uh the whole purpose of a blog is so you can develop a community via COMMENTS...much like we have, oh I don't know...HERE?
Just when you think she can't be more clueless.
If she is worried about the kinds of comments that is what moderation is for.
You really can't make this stuff up
She was not at the Emmys,i think what people are talking about was the tiny shot of her and the group on film at least years Emmys,I may have read it on twitter.
"Paying HER KIDS' BILLS?" HUH, SAY WHAT!!!!!!!!! Kids DO NOT have bills. I hate her.
amyf said... Pink - I remember that Lucy episode! I thought the routine was originally from something else, though I have no idea what.
----------------------------
The original skit has been credited to Joey Faye, a vaudeville performer. It was also performed by Abbott and Costello and The Three Stooges before Lucy did it. It is a classic.
Canadian Girl, she tweeted herself that she WAS there...that she got a last-minute invitation.
Kate WAS at the Emmys. She was seen and Kate tweeted. But "last minute dash" my ass. She had it planned for long enough to search out a brand new dress.
My goodness, NYC for hair, CA for Emmys. When does she find time to be a mother.
I feel sorry for the G8.
What other unemployed single(sic) mother would be making a last minute mad dash to be at an Emmy show??? I didn't watch the show or the pre-show Red Carpet event, I take it she went virtually unoticed by the commentators. Sounds like it was a last minute desperate gesture to "network" in the hope of landing "something" that will keep her relevant.
I have a feeling that now that filming has ended, Kate will find reasons to be away more and more. That house really is an orphanage. How can children so little understand this without feeling pain?
Mommy loves you from afar!!
So this poor single unemployed mother of 8 just hopes on a plane for a quick made dash to LA? The tickets last minute are pretty expensive. Isn't that great she can do this for herself? So poor. LOLOL

My sediments exactly! And I guess she's still here judging by her tweets/times this morning. What an effing piece of work - yep, trip to NYC for Emmy hair, shopping for sparkly Emmy dress, pretty last minute my ass. And even if not, that's a nice chunk of change right after crying poor in People. She was so glad to see her friends, really, you have friends here? And it was an honor to support prime time tv - what a tool. I am offended to be sharing air space with her.
Glad there are no pics out there.
Thanks everyone for clarifying the rumour about the donated van, I know I read it somewhere though :)
Who was with the kids on a Sunday evening if she was at the Emmy's? Did the not-a-nanny get them off to school (as usual) this morning? Poor Kart, no me time, never has an escape from the stressful life she lives, poor poor single struggling mom boo hoo...
There were a couple of sightings of her there at the Emmmy, plus she did confirm it, even though she lies, I think she was there. No one mentioned she was on the red carpet. I bet she wasn't. Just because one goes, does not give them the right to walk the red carpet. She only walked it last year, because she was in the opening number.
…that there would be peace on earth and only love — no abuse, hurt, gossip, strife or struggles for anyone!
--------------------------------------
Oh Shut the hell up Kate. You LOVE drama. You are the drama mama & you love surrounding yourself w/ the drama. Those people annoy the hell out of me.
And no abuse?? She is one to talk. She does nothing but verbally abuse those around her. And she hurts everyone. She is such a hypocrite. Hypocrites annoy me more. Wow. A dramatic hypocrite. Keep peeling that onion Kate. You're just full of layers, aren't you?

Kate WAS at the Emmys. She was seen and Kate tweeted. But "last minute dash" my ass. She had it planned for long enough to search out a brand new dress.
My goodness, NYC for hair, CA for Emmys. When does she find time to be a mother.
I feel sorry for the G8.
************************************************
Ohhhhhhhhhh... poor, poor Kate. Living such a hard, stressful life.
Now people are REALLY going to feel sorry for her ... NOT!
Kate reminds me of that Dave Matthews' song, "Too Much".
My goodness, NYC for hair, CA for Emmys. When does she find time to be a mother."
That is why this poor mother of 8 wishes there were 12 more hours to a day so she would have MORE time to play with her kids. LOL Okie dokey.
According to the The Washington Post, "Realty TV Mom Kate Gosselin pays fine for going 88 mph in 65 zone; says rushing home to kids". The article goes on to say this was "AROUND 1:30 AM" on August 9. Were the children waiting up for her at 1:30 in the morning? Another instance of her using the children to try to cover her behind.
I made that 4th of July cake when my son was 3 years old. I got the recipe from my best friends mom, who has had the recipe for YEARS. It was almost impossible for me to copy it from her index card because it was faded & smudged. I had to keep asking her; "Is this a teaspoon/half a cup/etc?" She knows it by heart & makes it every year & has been for years & years.
Kate can suck it for saying she invented that cake. Maybe she put a blueberry in a different spot. I remember distinctly making it on Loon Pond in NH in a cabin & it being a HUGE hit, 8 years ago. My son LOVED it then & still asks for it every year. Kate is insufferable, & quite a dummy. Um, did she not realize that people can Google information? DOY.

Kate's tweet:
I was Inv by a friend--so I made a quick mad dash out. Entertaining,good2c friends! Great2support primeX tv!Such talent!
************************************************
Kate has a friend?
Just me and Falling like a brick, cool. Very interesting. Thanks. ;)
Sounds like a pretty half-assed operation all the way around. I have to wonder what her fans would think if they knew their stuff was being read on another blog?
I wonder if her "friend" came up with an invitation to one of the after-parties?
I don't think Kate didn't get the red-carpet reception she thought she would and that's why she didn't tweet where she was last night.
I think she was relegated to back row on the left. Or maybe she went as a seat filler.
Either way, the trip out West did her no favors as it looks like she abandoned her kids (on HER custody weekend) for a trip to LA with her 'friends' all spur-of-the-moment like. And she has the nerve to complain that a nursing job would keep her away from the kids. I call BULLCrap on that one.
I need to proof before I hit send: "I don't think Kate didn't get the red-carpet reception"
Should read; I don't think Kate got the red-carpet..."

She ruined the cake decorating fun too. Nice, patriotic Kate booted little Joel out of the kitchen, wouldn't let him help...boys hands are always dirty blah, blah, blah. Bitch.
WoW, it is so unlike Kate to go to an event like the Emmys and not spend a week tweeting about it beforehand. It makes you think that maybe she was told to keep it under wraps after complaining to the entire country that she was Freaking Out about where she would find money to feed her kids. HUMMMM New dress, hair do, airfare, hotel, and that ever important to her....time away from the kids...wasn't that on her wish list. She is trash. I'm glad no one took a second out of their day to photograph her!
Awww, poor Kate got all done up & not one picture of her at the Emmy's.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!
And she has the nerve to complain that a nursing job would keep her away from the kids. I call BULLCrap on that one.

Exactly! I can't believe Kate thinks people would fall for this line of BS. She's away for days at a time. Her kids need a mother at home, period. If she works, like many millions of moms do, she'd have to arrange for after school care or a babysitter for a couple hours a day during the week. Big deal.
Everything that comes out of her mouth is so self-serving, but I think people are seeing the light-- Audi sports car, NYC spa pampering and shopping, hundreds in speeding tickets, a trip to CA. She sure treats herself well. I hope she doesn't blow through all the kids money before they wake up and sue her.

That just ticked me off the boys couldn't help. Guess what, little kids hands, there's this secret....THEY WASH! Oh my god. A miracle! Seems he is more interested in girls than boys.
I have four boys and plenty of times we bake. Her and her pretend "germs" issue is going to create problems with her kids. I also very much dislike her issue of, "no you're a girl, no you're a boy." They're little kids. Let them have the lizard backpack and make a cake. Good freaking grief.
Here is how Kate has so many vistior on her site if you click refresh or any bottomt it goes up
ps The site still sucks
New post up.
Aren't the Tweeties wondering why she didn't give them a heads-up that she was going to the Emmys? Even if she had to make a mad dash, she could have tweeted on the way to the airport, or on the plane. I think it's because she got crappy balcony seats and didn't get to walk the red carpet. If she alerted the Tweeites, they would all tune in and watch for her, and then wonder why they didn't see her. Better to let them know later and hope they didn't watch. But still, they think they have a direct line to her, and don't stop to think that she doesn't keep them informed on her "appearances". As for the tweet about Kate having friends in high places--yeah, right. The best her "friend" could do for her was seats in the nosebleed section. So yeah, logistically speaking, her friend was in "high places".
Oh, Kate? I have 9 little ones (well, some not so little), and the bigger ones will be home from school any minute. I have a spotless house waiting for them, laundry is done, dinner prepped and ready to go in the oven, and just took cookies out of the oven for them. And I have no help! I did it all myself! So when you cry about doing it all yourself, even though you have nannies and housekeepers, my response is, "CRY ME A RIVER". Get over yourslf, peel yourself off your leather couch, and do some actual work.

2. How much do you weight?
On a good day I’m about 126-128.

120 if she'd take the stick out.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Great chuckle there, Auntie!
Maybe 115 if she got the lead out of her a&& and stopped being so dang lazy!
Maybe 112 if she got rid of the implants, um, good bra!
I got married in July 1976 and the flag cake was our wedding cake so it's been around for 35 years at least.
I had to laugh when someone said up thread said "get a houseplant or 2 woman". We don't keep any kind of plants (or anything else on tables for that matter) because we've got an English Bulldog who feels that things are made to go through and not around. Of course he's got the run of the house (unlike Shoka) so you can understand why we don't keep things like that around.....oh the lovely messes we could come home to if we did!
I'm 63 years old and I remember helping my mother make that flag cake every 4th of July when I was a little girl. It was my job to "frost" it and place the berries. Of course, the "stripes" were never completely straight and the field of stars sagged, but Mom and Dad always thanked me for helping and thought it tasted great (It did, too).
It always bugged me that Kate wouldn't allow Joel to help with the cake, too. If his hands were dirty, then for the love of heaven, wash them! I suspect it was as much "boys don't do that sort of thing" as it was the potential for dirty hands. Kate's hung up on gender roles and, of course, has yet to make the momentous discovery that all parts of a kid are washable.

Regarding the 4th of July cake. I made that cake when my daughter was 2. She is now 26. I got it from a magazine. So I know it has been around for at least 24 years if not longer. Where does this woman come up with this stuff. I also would like to add that her extra 12 hours a day to play with her kids. Really??? If you weren't so busy focusing on your looks and tweeting all day perhaps you would have time to spend with your children.
I also am offended by the comment by Just wondering calling us Haters. Just because we show concern doesn't make us haters.
Lake Up North,
I've had Major Depressive Disorder (among other problems) my whole life. I'm 59 years old now.
The first time I tried to kill myself I was five years old; the finality of it was part of what motivated me to want to "succeed" at it.
I've been lucky to have some great people in my life so that I, eventually, learned to save my own life when I get in to that "Black" place.

hehe!!
And she'd have to put weights in her pocket if she got rid of her massive ego.
I am 65. The flag cake appeared in Women's Day Magazine when I was in high school. My Mother bought a Duncan Hines box cake and all the ingredients and let us kids make it. It came out just wonderful. And........Real whipped cream for frosting. The milkman delivereded the cream.
We had a family cookout and us kids could not have been prouder of our masterpiece.
And.....all the berries came from my Grandfathers property. Westford, MA
The witch just used the stuff from the supermarket that TLC delivered to make a fake and bake for TV.
