Red Cross posts different, more modest photo of Kate
After a two day stand-off, Kate has at last complied with the Red Cross's request to choose a different photo.

«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 245 Newer› Newest»Well, I guess I'm eating my hat for supper tonight. Darn, we were planning on pasta.
This might be the only time someone will be able to twist Kate's hand so to speak to get her to do what THEY want instead of the other way around.
Color me amazed. Katie Irene actually did something that someone else asked her to do. Somehow I have the feeling that Steve managed to make her think that giving a new photo was HER idea.
Perhaps knowing she was outclassed by Danny B was her inspiration. But let's not give her a medal or anything like that. As in, big deal, moving on. But thanks for sharing.
Really, she's just despicable. You know the only reason she (finally!) supplied the new photo is because she was left out, and it was oh, so obvious.
Glad this is over, but still find it disgusting that she was asked in the first place. The woman parks in fire lanes, for heaven's sake, has never committed a charitable act in her life as far as anyone can tell, pimps out her kids, and is exactly the kind of neighbor nobody needs in a community.
Also, she's likely either on a plane right now or already in Australia having the time of her life. It's possible a manager just went ahead and changed her mind FOR HER and sent an alternate photo.
If she were going to comply, why couldn't she just comply from the moment they asked? Instead she held her breath and stomped her foot for two days. Pathetic.
You know when I originally posted Admin, all I saw above was the word "pasta," and I couldn't figure out how that figured into the equation of Kate's new photograph.
But, you might could make your hat taste better if you pour the pasta sauce over it?
From the last post:
Administrator said...
Haha, aw now the blank spot is filled.
Good compromise. Still use Kate, but a more appropriate photo.
I think someone here even suggested, just crop it!
-----------------------------------------------
Yes, Admin, WE were right. Khate chose to submit an inappropriate photo that was rejected. Having been left out of the campaign, she had no choice but to submit another one if she wanted to be included at all. Ha ha, WE forced Khate to do something that she didn't want to do!
She still has her hand up beside her head like a glamor shot (a pose that says it's all about ME ME ME) but oh well, beggars can't be choosers. At least she doesn't look naked anymore.
It's a good thing I saved all the screen shots from this whole debacle. Otherwise her sheeple will start claiming this never even happened, Kate's photo was always there from the beginning, she just chose a different one for her own web site but this closer one was always up there.
Ah, screen shots. Fantastic tools of proof.
Sorry for the repost. My computer likes to dump me when I'm typing then I have to start over. So I didn't catch the first post went through. My computer has issues...
I know some here said the other day that it looked like this photo was taken the same day as her "fall family photo shoot", and I agree. Looking at the makeup, hair, and earrings, it looks like the same day.
NLAN,
Somehow she will spin this that she was planning to do this all the time, but she was oh, so effing busy travelling for her job that she just got around to it.
I concur with whoever said purseboy probably just switched pictures 'on her behalf'.
I also am SURE when she saw that empty spot in the RC ad layout that she went ballistic. I doubt purseboy got laid that night.
Ah well, all's well that ends well?
Yeah. She's still a bitch.....
Admin, I ws thinking the same thing! Yes, the screen shot from the day they launched this campaign shows the website was clearly missing her REJECTED photo. Ha ha. This is total confirmation that Khate submitted a photo that was inappropriate for their campaign which I don't think is such a great idea, anyway).
I do agree about the fire lane issue. It's a shame the Red Cross doesn't care about Khate's repeated parking in fire lanes.
To me, it seems like this might have been an "outtake" (by Kate's standards) from the first photo shoot. (Since some here were speculating Kate wouldn't have time to take another new photo with all her travels.) She could have saved herself, and ARC, the trouble by choosing wisely the first time around.
I still don't agree with this blanket campaign in general, even though it is for a good cause.

My sediments exactly.
This is why I thought the new photo was an "outtake" from the same photo shoot.
How about her website; did she make a switch there?
bm
Well if we must be nit-picky, the naked arm coming out of the blanket is still a bit suggestive, but I know, it's mememe Kate. Hope the jet lag is fierce.
LOL!!!
OK, let me just run with this for a bit...... we have now seen two shots from the photo session that day. The inappropriate "I'm a sex kitten" shot and the one the RC finally used.
What I'd like to know (and yes, I'm a really bad lady - ha) is how many more shots there are.
Did she take the 'good bra and thong' bathroom mirror cell phone shot? What about the nudie shots for purseboy? Do you think that little pink iphone#8 might be x-rated? A little sexting going on?
Yeah, I'm bad, and of course it's none of my business... but you just KNOW there are some on that camera that are "of a personal nature"......
Wouldn't it be hilarious if one of these days a sex video came out?! Hey, that's how kim kartrashion started her whole career, and look how much money she's made........ woooo eeeeeee!
Sorry I missed happy hour a while ago - I'm straggling along behind y'all.... but my mind goes where my mind goes..... I can't control it... ROFLMAO.....
Oh kart, you little vixen you...... bless your precious little heart.
Wait, wait!!!
Here it is: kart will say her PR team submitted the wrong photo to the RC. It wasn't her fault.
Yeah, that's the ticket! Someone other dude did it! SODDI - the universal defense! (I watch Law & Order - I'm not a lawyer but I watch one on TV)
Permanent name - you beat me to it. I was going to ask why, if this photo was available the first go-around, didn't she submit this one? It's a nice photo. Instead, she chose the sex kitten one. Speaks volumes.
She wasn't home to do a new photo shoot. When "Dave" requested the change, she was already enroute to Chicago, wasn't she?
I thought she had her roots done in New York.
Oh kart, you little vixen you...... bless your precious little heart.

You sound like Bruno Tonioli!

Hey, I LIKE Bruno! He's hilarious.....

Her webiste still has the wh*rish photo. She may be submitting a different pic to ARC but her FU attitude with the pic in question is still there.
She's probably all smiles for Steve. Oh & maybe the glow is from Steve's boob handling. Muahahaha!
Shoot, can't type while drinking........
should be 'some other dude...' not 'someone other'
Some DJ's at one of the radio stations in my area this morning were talking about the predicted 'portal' to another world that was supposed to open at 11:11 a.m. this morning. Do you think maybe it did open and this is the result?
Seriously,I agree with everyone else. Either Stevieboy convinced her to submit another photograph or he did it for her. Since she's in Australia and easily distracted by shiny things and conferring with Terri Irwin on new ways to exploit the children, she will forget all about this until she gets back to the U.S. and the sheeple twitter her about the lengths they went to in order to defend her.
Could I sneak in a small off-topic question?
I'm so sorry but...

Just wondering how other people react to this stuff.
Sorry, I know it's not on topic.
What did Kate put on? The earrings?
Kate doesn't have french doors anywhere in her home. That picture and the other one were taken someplace other than the McMansion.

Doesn't sound like Percocet is meant for you. I'm a nurse and it sounds like you're having some side effects which are perhaps related to the opiod (Oxycodone) in Percocet or maybe you don't tolerate Tylenol very well. Just thoughts as I don't want to go down Katie Irene's road of giving medical advice. Get back in touch with your doctor or the facility where it was prescribed.
rubyred,
I'm a nurse and the best advice I can give you is to call your doc tonight. His afterhours service can have him call you back. There are 24 hr pharmacies where he can call in a script for something else.
And yes, it is not uncommon for Percocet, Vicodin and the like to cause nausea and constipation. IF you google the word percocet you'll find many resources on efficacy and side effects.
Call your doc! Don't be afraid to call him afterhours. That's why they have an answering service.
That's advice if you're in the US. If you're outside the US, I can't advise.
Hope you feel better, Rubyred, and ADMIN, thanks for letting this OT through...
Going out on a limb her; please don't shoot me.
No matter what anyone else thinks, I think that kate believes that she is “all that and a bag of chips” and that the RC would be delighted with her original pic submission. I thik that she was (is?) beside herself that they did not want to use it. I’m guessing that someone on her “team” (whoever that consists of these days) submitted the new photo on her behalf for damage control.
I still think the current pic has an Ann Margaret vibe.
Hope the RC can just mover on now and get back to work.

LOL! Excellent......
Really don't see much of a difference between this picture and the other one. At least on the other one you could see she had a top on underneath. People have made a mountain out of a mole hill.
Thank you Susantoyota and Permanent Name.
I did read about the nausea issue online. I think I'll just not take another one tonite. I'm worried that all narcotics will have this side effect. Funny, I don't get sick with needles.

Did she take her interview chair with her for the pics?
rubyred - people have different reactions to different substances. Many people react badly to opiods and their derivatives. Needles have nothing to do with it. Nausea is common.
Please call your doctor.

Man, that was a downer.
Now that pic looks decent and she looks nice it's a win/win.
Still coquettish - blech.
Rubyred - I've been taking percocet for years with no trouble (same dosage - not increasing as time goes on). I'm not convinced that it's actually helping but I'm also not anxious to see what the pain would be like without it. I've had various painkillers at different times and the only one I had REALLY bad side effects with was the fentanyl patch. There are so many different types to try (on your doctor's advice, obviously) - hopefully they will come up with the right one for you.
Susantoyota said... Since she's... easily distracted by shiny things
LOL, Crows like shiny things, and they are more intelligent than her.
Amazing how much facial work she has submitted herself to. She aiming to look like Mr. Ed?
(Deepest apologies to Mr. Ed, did not mean to compare a fame ho' to you.)
Maybe Kart had french doors installed in her house or she was just trying to be a French maid in these photos. At least someone covered her up and cropped out her big feet in this photo. Kudos to ARC Dave for not posting the other photo on their campaign site.

rubyred, are you still on? Hon, eat something, perhaps some toast and drink plain water. Lots of it. And dont forget to pee alot. If you want to vomit, go ahead. Do you have access to a nurse advice line on your insurance at all? DO NOT take anything else, as what you took already has a great deal of Tylenol in it. Is this your first experience with it? Or have you started a stronger dose? I hope you are OK, it is 11p where I am, but I am going to stay on a bit longer hoping to hear from you.
Admin, thank you much in advance for allowing an OT.
rubyred,
Percocet doesn't work for me either. It makes me dizzy, naseaous and itch all over and it doesn't take the pain away.

Okay, I looked at her new photo, and I'm just not convinced. It still looks like the picture is ALL about Kate. Look at me!

Ohhhh Admin, I think this one looks way more tacky than the first one! This one ( to me ) screams, "FU haters! "
Just goes to show how everybody perceives things differently. See, now, in the first one I didn't think she looked naked. But in this one I do! And this one is way more "posed" than the first ( IMO ). I would've just stuck with the first one and cropped it from the chest up.
Oh well. It's just a picture. She can pose all she wants and put on all the make-up she wants. She's still a mean and hateful diva.
RubyRed, hope you are OK and got in touch with your doctor. Hope you have someone at home with you right now, just in case.
I am actually stunned she submitted another photo.
I'm thoroughly convinced she thought the Red Cross would cave and use the inappropriate naked looking, tatoo showing pic. This arrogance is the reason why she is currently shilling for an online coupon code site instead of a talk show or hosting job.
What really stinks is that Kate doesn't give two shiz about the Red Cross or what they do. To her, this is pure publicity and nothing else. It kills me that PAs most famous charity case is a stingy skinflint who is only able to pay it forward to HERSELF. Blech.
Re: Purseboy. I have been on the fence for a long time as to what those two have been up to. Add me to the camp who thinks they are an item.
Oh my, i didnt see all this other fine advice before I posted my lame reply to rubyred. Wow, you guys just rock.

So sorry about that. Supposedly, it's making its way around the internet. Sad, I know, but thankfully she's a strong, mature young woman.
Does any eals think Kate's head is to big for her body. Maybe becuase she lost alot of weight she's just got a odd head shape to me now.
Today on TMZ (the TV show) they showed Kate and Steve in the LAX airport, no doubt changing planes on their way to Australia, being approached by a cameraman. Kate is carrying what looks like a violin case on her shoulder.
TMZ Camerman to Kate: So apparently you are going to try to work with Coupon Cabin to show people how to save money and stuff, right?
Kate: Yep
Harvey Levin: Coupon? Huh? What is it?
Blonde TMZ gal: She blogs how families can save money ...
Shevonne TMZ gal: She is sooooo good at the coupon game ...
Harvey: What is the coupon game?
Shevonne: You have to find all the coupons and cut them out ...
Max at TMZ: Why don't you just go out and get a job? These people who are into extreme couponing ... they say they spend more than 40 hours a week collecting these coupons and digging in dumpsters, I'm like, GO GET A JOB and buy WHATEVER FOOD YOU WANT!!!
Harvey: He is making a horrible point.
Max: They have like 12 ketchups ... who needs 12 ketchups??? Ketchup is like $1.29!!!
NOTE: This is the first time I have seen Kate on the TMZ TV show in a long time, in fact the last time that I can recall is after she was busted in Mexico with Steve after she appeared on Regis & Kelly, the show where Anderson Cooper was sitting in for Regis and Kate threw Jon under the bus. Ya know, the time where Kate said she waits at home for the kids to call her because they are never happy spending time with their dad (ie, Kate BS speak) but neglected to mention to Anderson that Jon had the kids that particular weekend and she and Steve were taking off for a People shoot in Mexico.
Anyway, I'm convinced that Harvey does not like Kate, he figured out long ago that her 15 minutes was up long ago and does not give her exposure on his show. However I have seen small blurbs -- not big stories but little blurbs -- about Kate (maybe 3) in the past year on the TMZ web site.
Oh, and I did giggle -- Kate is now a has been but she has a job being a spokesperson for this coupon company but yet does not say anything other than "yep" when she is on camera and asked a direct question about her new job and what she does. IMHO Kate blew an opportunity to give her new company free exposure ... just wait until someone at the Coupon Cabin head office sees this clip ... her days may be numbered especially if the VP of Marketing/Advertising sees it since the cameraman knew the company name and wanted to talk about what the company does but Kate did NOT and could not be bothered at all!!! LOL

Assumes facts not in evidence! Maybe she doesn't even know. Terri Irwin probably distracted her with something shiny in Australia while Steve opened up the laptop and found some photo rejects and emailed the more appropriate one over to the REd Cross.

Your advice was NOT lame!!!! I was really impressed that you told rubyred you'd be staying on a little longer to see if she was still online. That was really compassionate.
Everything about both of your posts was spot-on! Be proud...
I'm especially glad to see that the nurses here are giving appropriate advice instead of pulling a kart-diagnose-and-treat-over-the-internet-stunt.

This is what I meant earlier when I said she doesnt even try. It must be really hard for her to put a sentence together about a topic this isnt all about how stressed she is, or how beautiful, but she isnt even trying.
There is alot about her that I dont understand, but this one is stumping me. Why isnt she trying a bit? She could be showing adverstisers and talk shows etc what a great addition she would be to their show ("the chairs of her dreams") but she is so pissed off about this little blogging job, she cant even try to be pleasant about it, let alone enthusiastic. What does she plan to accomplish with this dismissive attitude about her new job? Why did she even accept it if it is so beneath her?
I am not sure, how long will Kate be able to keep her "bodyguard," on a coupon blog salary?
Btw, Khate has an Australian sheeple who is a mother of nine, I think. She supposedly is on her very first solo trip today flying from wherever she lives in Australia to Queensland,(I think that's where the Australia Zoo is, right?). I guess she plans on attending the dinner to bid on Khate's lunch, which is odd because it's lunch for the winner and eight friends on Monday. Apparently, she just arrived there, where it's Saturday afternoon already and the dinner is Saturday night. She plans on attending Steve Irwin Day on Tuesday.
THANK YOU Permanent Name!!! Maybe it's all the stupid Christmas commercials on tv right now, but you guys are making me feel all warm and fuzzy... Oh wait, that's my Labrador

re: percocet.. can you switch to vicoden? it will make you much less nauseous and compares ok to pain relief. another thing..try to take it when you can lie down. sometimes moving around a lot will kick in the dizziness.
call your dr monday. most will happily change the prescription since perc are a schedule II and vicoden are only schedule III (meaning you can have refills without having to go get the paper script each time) - dr can fax a prescription for vicoden easily.
are you in terrible pain? may i ask what you are taking them for? sometimes they give u percs if it is post operation med. i've taken percocet and vicoden. percs make me agitated and dizzy, vics relax me and allow me to rest and heal.
re kates photo: this one is not as cute. big head, big teeth, bare arm. but whatevah! i still think she should have just cropped the original on the 1st day they asked. i'm sure the big empty square set her off so steve dug into the reject pile.
all in all. this chick better not EVER be seen parked in a fire lane again after supporting this cause
EM
@Permanent Name,
Can I still say that at 60? LOL
***********************************
Sure! My grandmother, 63, says that's called "window shopping."
rubyred -- I had a similar problem when I was prescribed percocet. Turns out I'm allergic to all things codeine & related. DON'T take anything else without talking to your doctor, and if you start having trouble breathing, get to an emergency room. Good luck. Hope you feel better soon.
I'm on the side of those who said Kate may not even know that a new pix was submitted, and that someone on her "team" just went ahead and did it. We all know how much Kate refuses to admit to fault. Submitting a new photo is admitting to a BIG fault. I think this one is more appropriate, but she's still a piss poor representative for the RC or any other charitable organization.

--------------------
I know, and I didn't mean to sound trite at all about her devastating situation. I can't even imagine how difficult that is in a teen.
ugh, typo - meant "on" a teen (not in)
She has such an inflated view of her own importance that she is pissed to the core about having to take jobs beneath her.
She knows it's beneath her, she knows how far she's fallen, she knows people hate her.
In my humble opinion, she is insecure and profoundly angry that she can't have her way. Anger is the only way she knows how to respond to anything.
The ab-fab (?) commercial was ridiculed and she now pretends it didn't happen. This coupon blog thing will fall by the wayside because the company will drop her bitchy, lazy entitled ass...
I predict her lunch auction will raise very little money for the zoo, and that will be a further embarrassment causing more anger.
I really and truly cannot figure any job she could get that would make her happy. I see her becoming more difficult, having less and less impulse control, more and more angry until something tragic happens.
She can't change, she won't change, I don't know if even medication could change her outlook.
It's a sad, sad tale, isn't it? And because of the internet we can watch it unfolding in real time.

That's so weird because last night I looked at a Twitter search for "Kate Gosselin". Usually, it just turns up a lot of spam for various articles and sometimes links that don't work or aren't safe. (This is different than searching her twitter name for mentions of Khate, or tweets to Khate and by Khate). So, I saw one that said something about Khate at LAX with a musical instrument case on her back and I thought it was just more silly spam and not accurate. I did end up clicking and it turned up only the headline on some empty page that I left quickly.
Oh! I just realized what that was about! The auction includes a guitar signed by Taylor Swift, and the info said thanks to Taylor Swift and Kate Gosselin. LOL, Khate's now a messenger service!

I would love to see kart disappear from sight for a while. Just drop off the face of the earth.
Close her twitter account. Close her website. Quit submitting photos to the tabloids.
Meditate for 3-6 months. Then, QUIETLY, find a very low profile job somewhere like Jon did. I think she has enough money to coast for a year while she figures out where to move, downsizing, taking the kids out of the $$$ private school. Fire purseboy or marry him.
If she continues on her present course she WILL be disappointed.
Give up kart. It ain't gonna happen. A TV job is just not in the cards for you any longer.
Give up. Salvage what you can.
Nothing like a good hurl to make you feel better!

Nah, I got it! Kate can pay Steve in coupons! 20% silver-fox hair dye.
Okay....enough drink for me tonight.
"Does any else think Kate's head is to big for her body"
When someone loses weight, they are called a lollipop body because her body is stick-thin and her head looks too big in proportion to the body. Celebrity gossip sites point this out on certain celebrities. Maybe Kate will be called a lollipop. Won't she be proud?
Yes, it makes sense Kate is carrying the Taylor Swift guitar case. Maybe she can serenade Steve on the flight.

Actually, it is kind of entertaining in a morbid, I-should-be-ashamed-of-myself kind of way. EXCEPT that she lashes out at little kids to make sure they are in as much pain as she is. THAT is the part that makes all this a tragedy.
Something really bad is going to happen, she will either harm herself or someone else, perhaps not intentionally and we here will all give each other knowing looks.
OH! BY THE WAY!!! STEVE!!!! TELL KATE THERE ARE ONLY 12 MORE DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING!!! So she doesnt wake up the day after and 'suddenly realize' that she mucked that up too.
Sorry but "her" head looks gigantic and "her" body seems distorted. I hope the RC doesn't add this picture to their poster because "she" in no way deserves to be on the same poster as Bill Cosby!

LOL at the pic at the coupon office:
http://rumorfix.com/2011/11/exclusive-kate-gosselin-traveling-to-australia-leaves-kids-behind/
I took a look back at the other celebrity pictures, and none of them have their hands propping up their heads. Just makes her that much more ridiculous I think.
So Kart is personally bringing Taylor Swift's signed guitar to the auction. The autographed guitar is the money. That explains how and why Kart got another free trip with Steve.
Epiphany! She DOES look like she had facial work done. In fact, if you look at her CouponCabin eyes, she's morphing into a Taylor Swift look-a-like aka Taylor Swift pack mule. Muahahahaha!
Kate doesn't have french doors anywhere in her home. That picture and the other one were taken someplace other than the McMansion.

By the time she's forty-six I predict she'll only be holding up one or two fingers. Hannah, and maybe Leah.
All the other kids will have estranged her by then.
That house looks almost exactly like Kate's.
I stand by the term McMansion. Mc-freaking-mansion.
Shoot, be lucky if even two kids aren't long gone by the time she's forty.
But we all know Kate is ONLY known for giving birth. I don't know...I think it's kind of sad even if she doesn't mind. Just you know, as long as Kate's famous and all for something.

LOL!! I guess that's because it IS Kate's house - original listing when it was offered for sale by the previous owner, before she sank her funds into the money pit. The RC photos were taken at Kate's house.

Especially Max, what a babe, what a hottie :-)
Can I still say that at 60? LOL
----------------
You sure can. I'm 55 & think he is hot too!
Oh! Still a Mcmansion lol. If I were a celeb I wouldn't want the entire layout of my house still online.

They could have shown a close-up of her yelling at her kids when they got off the school bus. She's known for that.
Adm you were right she will be holding up two fingers. However i'm betting it will be Kate plus Steve minus the kids or Kate plus the cell phone of the week
She is also known:
Kate Gosselin is known to cause irritability, general discomfort, red eyes, drowsiness, long term nausea, the occasional nervous breakdown and or frequent bouts of delusion with a possible side affect of confusion, over-stimulated though processes and the rare reported cases of severe stress disorder.
Please, do not take in access with alcohol as Kate Gosselin may impair one's ability to rationalize certain situations. Do not attempt to rational Kate until you know how she will affect your ability to operate heavy machinery or other more strenuous daily activities.
Finally someone pops up on Twitter who may be able to beat the sheeple in terms of creepiness:

A National Honor Society HOLDER? That's funny. I was a National Honor Society MEMBER! I never knew anyone to hold the NHS.
OMG, this Ms. Samatha is like the rejected extra from Deliverance. Seriously the have computers and internet at the Funny Farm???
Wow, can Kate attract them...
In reference to Kate's replacement ARC photo- it's a better choice than the original one.
Unfortunately, I still find her repugnant.
Fortunately, life goes on.
Hey Australia, we don't want Kate, you can keep
her.
Oh yeah, Steve took those pictures. Who else would Kate give that smile to?
I know this sounds dumb, but it looks to me like the 2 pictures in question were taken on different days. Her hair curls are completely different, even with the fact that she's got her hand behind her head in one of them. Either different days or else she was tousseling it around for Steve's benefit.
fidosmommy - the photo looks to me to be from the same day. I'm sure they took more than a few shots. It's funny that Khate selected that first one to submit.
Here's a side by side:
http://tinypic.com/r/20jgy2a/5 (click on it to enlarge)
I still think this was done the same day as the "fall family photo shoot". Remember we saw the same dark roots that day and wondered why she was doing the shoot before going in for another straw bleaching? Plus, the makeup and earrings are the same as in those photos.
Thanks, NLAN. I guess I'm just not convinced.
But it doesn't matter, really. I'm doing what might be termed "nitpicking".
Thanks again.
"The Talk"
It was announced on 'The Talk" that the show was coming to New York mid Dec for a week,hope I won,t see Kate as a co host!
When she played,
You're right, I'm wrong, I didn't realize those were french doors on the side wall of her keeping room, I thought they were windows.
lj
I think the second shot looks over edited - they took her face off a shot from the same day as the original, the blanket off of someone else's shot, and attached to some shot in the same piece of furniture.
...and yes Admin, the entire layout/floorplan of her home is still on line, down to the window placement :)

I think Kate’s PR team had to find a local charity that Kate could say she was a part of before she left for Australia. She can now go support a charity in Australia (a place most people don’t know who she is) and not be criticized for not being charitable in her own country. IMO, submitting a picture does not make a person active with the organization. It’s sad that she only wants to get physically involved when travel and luxury accommodations are included and/or she is getting paid.
Since she is so big on pictures, let’s see how quickly pictures of her in a bikini taken by her favorite pap Steve appear on the web.
Percoset - check out WebMd and you will find the components. It is the opiate that is probable cause of vomiting. I am allergic to all derivatives. Have found many of them contain acetaminophen [Tylenol], this is the pain reliever. I am recovering from knee replacement and use acetaminophen for the pain. Check with your doctor first.
I think the Red Cross is really off the mark with this celebrity campaign. There is nothing glamorous, cute or coy about a house fire. House fires are tragic. Even if you escape with all of your family members and pets, and even if your house does not burn to the ground, it is still a tragedy. The fire does not have to actually touch things to destroy them. In order to protect themselves from backdraft, the firefighters may have to break windows (if the heat hasn't already done so) and cut holes in your roof. When the fire is knocked down they will have to open up your walls and ceilings, pull out insulation, and soak everything to extinguish hot spots. The tremendous heat, black smoke and water will all do their part as well. There is a good chance that you will have lost sentimental objects that can never be replaced. Family heirlooms, wedding albums, items that your children made for you; all charred, blackened, melted and waterlogged. That is the reality of a house fire and, unfortunately, it is not reflected in this campaign. I hope that if people are not donating to the Red Cross because of Kate's involvement in this campaign, that they will reconsider. And I hope that those who are donating are doing so to support victims of house fires and not Kate Gosselin.
The current photo of Kate disturbs me in that even though she is wrapped in the blanket no one made certain that the entire Name of ARC was visible. I checked it was scrunched around HRH. Definitely I want to pose for Playboy type. Hugh Hefner stated no. And, Kate is too old for Hustler.
Wait until CC gets a load of her sitting at her once neat little desk with PB standing beside her telling her what to say as she taps the blog out on the IPhone with 2 fingers, using her extreme texting code. It will then have to be passed along to one of the others to translate and type out. Good luck with that one. You could tell when she touched that keyboard that she is not a typist. She is a texter.
Also is it just me or is she sporting a new receding hair line. She suddenly has developed a "five finger" forehead (credit Tyra Banks) that I never noticed before. I think that is part of what makes her face look askew.
Sorry, she is producing a wealth of material these days - just can't resist.
Oh and about the big head it is an attribute that one strives for in the business - makes for better head shots. The smaller the body, the bigger the head. It has been said that Vanna White first got her job primarily because she has a huge head and she was very upset when the producer shared that news with her. Nevertheless she has been turning those letters for about 30 years now so I guess she learned to embrace it.
I think this photo is fine. It's similar to the others on the RC website. Most of the other celebs are wrapped in a blanket too. It's too bad that this one wasn't chosen first. But then nothing is easy with Kate, as everyone eventually finds out...Jamie, Ashley, etc.
The Coupon Cabin people are lucky that Kate will be working from home! I've never used CC and am not going to start now, so I won't see her blithering bloggings and really don't even care if they will be edited to read as though they're written by a professional.
Whoever maintains Kate's blog should take 2 minutes and put the link to the RC on her blog so at least it looks like she gives a rat's ass even though she really doesn't.
Compared to everybody else, Kate's got that blanket wrapped pretty tightly around her. She looks like she's getting prepped for burial at sea.
Okay, please don't throw anything at me (LOL), but I have to say, I'm not disappointed in the Red Cross by putting her photo on their gallery of "stahs". I'm just not surprised at all. I've never had 100% faith in that organization since my Uncle (a WWII vet) told me about them charging the GIs for coffee in war zones. Actually I've heard that from other veterans as well. Whether it's true or not I don't know but to hear it from a number of different service members makes me suspicious.
Do I think the RC does good work? Sure. But I prefer to give my money to the Salvation Army, who mobilize to help disaster victims too.
So the fact that they allow Kate in their gallery is not really all that surprising to me. Just par for the course I guess.
I forgot this...
Mickey McKean, thanks for the TMZ recap. I thought this was hilarious:
Max at TMZ: Why don't you just go out and get a job? These people who are into extreme couponing ... they say they spend more than 40 hours a week collecting these coupons and digging in dumpsters, I'm like, GO GET A JOB and buy WHATEVER FOOD YOU WANT!!!
Kate fits right in with the extreme couponing fad. She does everything to the extreme.
No, she is not looking nude, but she looks a lot older than 36 yrs. Pathetic person that she is.
Sorry, but with the bare arm and the prissy pose, I still find this inappropriate...it still looks like it's all about Kate posing. And it still gives the impression that she has on nothing but the blanket.
Question: Do all the celebrities in those Red Cross photos live in PA?

She still has her hand up beside her head like a glamor shot (a pose that says it's all about ME ME ME) but oh well, beggars can't be choosers. At least she doesn't look naked anymore.
November 11, 2011 6:28 PM
Ohhhh Admin, I think this one looks way more tacky than the first one! This one ( to me ) screams, "FU haters! "
Just goes to show how everybody perceives things differently. See, now, in the first one I didn't think she looked naked. But in this one I do! And this one is way more "posed" than the first ( IMO ). I would've just stuck with the first one and cropped it from the chest up.
Oh well. It's just a picture. She can pose all she wants and put on all the make-up she wants. She's still a mean and hateful diva.
______________________________________
I posted as soon as I saw this pic and before I read any other posts...glad you agree w/ me, and I also think this is worse than the first one because it IS a glamour shot...(I posed that way one time for a Christmas party after a number of drinks)...and because it implies she is wearing nothing.

Yep. It's still all about Kate, which is exactly what she intended. Very poor choice on the part of the Red Cross.
To LisaNH: your post at 6:30 hit the nail on the head for me. I too had suspicious tales to tell about the RC. UNTIL: my daughter was renting a tiny older home and the nearby canal flooded the entire community. I am talkin' old folks being rescued in row boats in the middle of the night. My daughter barely got out, with less than a minute to spare it seemed.
As soon as police allowed residents back in, the Red Cross came with a van and parked it there at the bottom of her street for 2 weeks. Staffed it 24/7. Gave out hot meals and bottled water to residents. Also went door to door every day for days, handing out paper towels, bottles of bleach, and brand new sheets and blankets! Along with copies of instructions on how to clean up to avoid mold etc. On the 2nd day a nurse came, door to door, to talk with and inquire about the health of all residents. When my dtr said that she, too, was a nurse, the RC nurse stated "Well, I need to keep a SPECIAL eye on YOU, you will take care of others before you tend to yourself!"
They never charged a anyone a penny and they were there for 2 weeks. Later, we donated a case of small bottles of bleach and some cases of paper towels and a few sets of brand new sheets, to give back a bit. All in all it was a great experience.
There was another time that we were at a county fair and mother nature decided to pay me an unexpected visit. Grrr. I found a RC tent and the nurse was lovely and gave me everything I needed. I TRIED to pay, but she wouldnt hear of it, gave me a form to use to send in a donation if I wanted.
But my son-in-law, the soldier, wont give ya 2 nickles for the RC, he will hunt out the USO if he or his need anything.

I have been a Red Cross volunteer for my local chapter since Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
And guess what? The above post is TRUE.
Now - before you all get bent out of shape on the Red Cross, I want to share with you the REST of the story.
During WW2, the United States had Red Cross volunteers over in England, to assist the GI soldiers. We were over there as guests of the British government, and we were working in conjunction with the Red Cross of Great Britain (the Red Cross is an international organization).
The AMERICAN Red Cross had never charged for coffee or donuts - BUT, the British Red Cross did, indeed, charge. The British Red Cross had always charged for donuts and coffee - that was their policy - altho they did give out free comfort kits to disaster clients.
When the British government got wind that the American Red Cross was passing out FREE donuts and coffee, they got very upset, because they felt we were undermining the efforts of their OWN Red Cross volunteers.
So - in order for us to not go into a political war with Britain, the ARC had to charge. It was the only way the ARC would still be allowed to perform services on British soil, for our own GI's. So, they charged 10 cents - but the minute the ARC was back on American soil, that charge was dropped.
We have not, nor ever will, charge for donuts, coffee, blankets, comfort kits, etc - ever again. Today, the International Red Cross handles things differently, due to the PR nightmare that resulted from the costly donuts and coffee back in WW2.
So - there you go. The REST of the story, so to speak. The reason you have heard it from other vets is because it was true. And the ARC regrets that they bowed to political pressure from the British government ever since.
I have been all over the country volunteering on behalf of the ARC. I have worked the wildfires in San Diego, Hurricane Ike in Galveston, Hurricane Irene in New Jersey, the tornado in Joplin - and numerous other disasters for the last five years.
I LOVE what I do - and I love the ARC. Our mission is to be there in time of need to offer hope and whatever other comfort we can give. 90% of the Red Cross is volunteer-driven, and we rely heavily on donations.
Administrator - I will gladly email you the url address of my blog, in which I share numerous Red Cross adventures, if you wanted "validity" in what I say. However, I don't choose to publicize my blog, as I am afraid of the sheeple attacking me or going after me. (Huh - imagine that?!)
Thanks for letting me share.

Agree...or maybe from Terri Irwin who needs to defend her very questionable celebrity fund raiser and who is ruining the Zoo and who is also a child exploiter and who actually has met Kate the Imposter only once and who actually does not really know her. I would bet this classless remark came from one of the three.

I agree. I don't understand why a celebrity campaign is needed at all. It's just another platform for fame hungry people to get more attention on themselves and has nothing at all to do with families losing their homes and belongings to a fire. Big whoop if Bill Cosby, Kevin Bacon or Kate Greedy have a RC blanket wrapped around them. Are they going to personally show up and comfort you if your house burns? Nope! Are they the only ones who donate and fund this charity? Nope! Kate probably gave $25 bucks just like everybody else and will be snug as a bug in her mansion while somebody stands in the street watching their house burn.
Does everyone who donates get a blanket, or just the special celebrities who are more worthy?
And why the heck is Kate on there just because she popped out 8 babies? The kids were the stars of the show and is why there WAS a show. Why aren't they in this campaign? It was their money Kate donated ( if she even donated $$ ).
If people won't donate to a worthy charity unless it's endorsed by a celebrity, then they just suck. Sad that this is what it takes to get people to donate. Pathetic. ( And should a celebrity be smiling like they just walked the red carpet while "wearing" a blanket meant for disaster victims ? ) The whole thing is so cheesy and just dumb.
Wowsers I'm crotchedty today. So sick of this celebrity starved country we live in and seeing these nimwit celebrities only "donate" when it gets them media attention and a pat on the back ( and a photo shoot ).
I love this blog! Can I throw my 2 cents in concerning charity donations?
If you want to GIVE to people in need- do some investigation before hand. I do not want to throw any specific charity under the bus (even though I know that I could from personal experience) - just do some investigation.
Most Americans have very giving hearts and want to write a check to help without realizing how very little goes into the hands of those truly in need.
Some organizations are out of control! (Again, no names here- but they are!)
So, just really, REALLY look into a charity before you give- or find a way to give directly to someone in need. As a volunteer, and a person who donates, I have seen both good and ugly sides of SOME charities.
Like anything, there is good and bad, sadly.
We MUST help those in need, we just need to be sure the NEEDY get out help!
Thank you for allowing my 2 cents!

Knows Quality. THANK YOU. My dad was a WW2 vet who served in England. He never missed an opportunity to donate to the Salvation Army. Each donation was followed by the story of the RC charging the soldiers for coffee at the front lines. My dad passed away 4 years ago. I regret that he won't ever hear the rest of the story. But, my faith in the RC has been repaired. You provided a real service of facts for us today. Thanks.

I'd personally like to thank this person for the newsflash that Steve Irwin is dead. I mean, who knew?
Also, thanks for the suggestions. I thought long and hard about them. I have, however, decided not to grow up, and to reserve my respect for people who raise their kids lovingly, respectfully and properly.
As we seem to be sharing tips and pointers, here's a little suggestion for you. You should use more apostrophes and fewer exclamation points.
LOL - Happy Saturday All - Go Boilers :)
Just curious said...
Question: Do all the celebrities in those Red Cross photos live in PA?
----------------------------------------------------------
Well Kevin Bacon doesn't, obviously. But he grew up in the Philly area. They are all people with which Piladelphia area residents should be familiar.
This whole thing is funny. She just had to wait a few days until people knew SHE was ready. Wait & whine like a child, pouting. I thought it hilarious that The Red Cross submitted their photos without Kate & then maybe she wised up & said "Oh, they're serious, maybe I should send another picture. Maybe people really don't think I'm so cute anymore playing games".
No Kate, it's not cute. You're not cute. As a matter of fact, it's old. You're old. You getting these gigs in Australia should tell you something; the reason Terri Irwin picked you is because she knew YOU would do it. There was probably NO ONE else who would. Her ship is sinking too. Kate's ship is sunk. How is Kate even relevant in AUS? Didn't she treat people there like ass?
Just because Kate has a new job as a coupon hag doesn't mean she's back at all, she only blogs sporadically. How will this help Coupon Cabin? Because she's a mom? Ooohhh...I can learn from someone who screamed at her husband about forgetting a coupon. No thanks.
Kate is laughable now, playing games, taking these "jobs" because she thinks she is still relevant but really it's because nobody else would do it, & being asked to blog about something because she had kids & that's ALL she is known for.
~HC~

I further suspect that she feels 'safe enough' way down under to attack you.

I agree and I think it's probably kart. Like I said in an earlier post, she is losing what impuluse control she had and is gettting angrier each month that passes.
It won't end well.

MaryAnn - I'm glad I could clarify things...and I am thankful for your dad's service to our country. I, too, wish the ARC could have explained why they did what they did back in WW2, but the political implications then were much bigger. As I said, we now have an International Red Cross (IRC) that operates on foreign borders, and we will never do what we did back in WW2.
The Salvation Army is a fantastic organization - I do volunteer work with them, as well, since they have the same mission as the ARC - to be there in times of need or disasters.
I think everyone must follow their hearts and donate where they can or feel driven... :)

------------------------------------
And there's nothing indicative that anyone thinks it is. How is it "off the mark" as you say? Celebrities have often lent support to fundraising efforts for many charities. There's nothing glamorous about a hurricane, but celebrities held many benefits (and continue to do so) for the city of New Orleans after Katrina. I assume you are opposed to this as well?
FireChicksKickAsh said...
I hope that if people are not donating to the Red Cross because of Kate's involvement in this campaign, that they will reconsider.
--------------------------------------------------------
Indeed. But I've seen more than a few who have stated an unwillingness to support ARC for that very reason.
FireChicksKickAsh said...
And I hope that those who are donating are doing so to support victims of house fires and not Kate Gosselin
------------------------------------------------------
There will probably be some who do. Who cares? A charity is receiving a much-needed donation.
Post from MaryAnn --
I don't follow many blog sites -- really this is the only one I read faithfully.
I don't like Kate and have often wondered why. But, I have come to realize that she is not the primary reason I visit this page. I used to read the contents posted without paying much (or any) attention to the poster's name. Wouldn't think of that now. I have come to recognize and really appreciate the posters here. Administrator, you have done a great job of "drawing in" some intelligent and knowledgeable women who express themselves impressively.
I just like "knowing" all of you.
PS: Marie, I haven't heard the expression "might could" since I lived in AL. Big smile.
respect people for how they raise their kids!
&&&&&&&&&&&&
Ehhh, let me think. Nope, not gonna respect a child exploiter. Ever.
Thanx for all the great advice everyone! Who knew I'd get such in-the-know answers! Way better than surfing info on line. Anyway, I'm off the walk-in clinic (I'm in Canada) only they don't do triplicate perscriptions on a walk-in basis. I totally understand. Anyone tried Torodol? Not a narcotic, or at least it's a regular 'script here in Canada. I have chronic pancreatitis recently diagnosed and it's been an adventure let me tell you.
I'll check in later and see what you guys (sorry! gals) think.
Kate? Still can't stand the woman. :)
Why would Kate take down her old pic from her website or take one that looks more decent?. It's all about what she wants and how she want it. I think she believes that this is her world and well all just live in it.
I think the new photo is as inappropriate as the first. She is just giving a big FU to the RC and all the non fans. She has that come hither look, hair draped over her bare arm and clutching that blanket to try and show something. She is a certifiable bitch.
Is there any way we can find out how the lunch auction went?
I hope the zoo made some money on the auction but I fear they did not...
I don't think the "you bitch!" comment is from Terri Irwin. (The way it states Steve Irwin is dead! I just dont' see a widow doing that even online). It's prob. Kart. Maybe she was hittin' the wine box and did it prior to being incapacitated. In any case: Pathetic.
Oh, and I used to hold out a sliver of HOPE that Steve Neild was just a reluctant paid employee of TLC,babysitting the hideousness that is Khate. Now: I have to eat the crow and admit it: he lost any shred of sanity somewhere along the way, and they are "in a relationship." WISH , so badly, that Gina would speak out! Totally would buy THAT book! (or magazine article)
Why would Kate take down her old pic from her website or take one that looks more decent?.
****
Because she knew that the only way to be included among other celebrities was to submit a new photo that they would feel is appropriate. It's a case of eating crow. Biting the bullet. She did it so she wouldn't be left out.
It was be so right if Steve was using Kate just like she used the kids.
It's prob. Kart. Maybe she was hittin' the wine box and did it prior to being incapacitated. In any case: Pathetic.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Or she was upset that her donation maybe didn't bring in much?? Due to the time change they've already had Saturday's dinner gala and auction, right? Any news?
"Because she knew that the only way to be included among other celebrities was to submit a new photo that they would feel is appropriate. It's a case of eating crow. Biting the bullet. She did it so she wouldn't be left out."
:::::::::::::::::::::::
But take note, she hasn't changed the photo on her blog. She figures it's win-win for her. One photo on the RC website, the sexy (?) one on her blog.

************************************************
(you b*tch!)
Interesting choice of word, but ineffective.
I get the part about respecting people- I really do. Unfortunately just because you cranked out a litter of babies, it does not automatically make you deserving of respect.
Especially someone as foul as Katie Irene.
Now that Kate has been exposed for the tarnished, over-exposed, famewhoring, nasty hag she is, her sheeple are disappointed that more people do not like her.
Maybe they shouldn't idolize someone so destructive, so weak, and so very mediocre.
If you walk around with your eyes closed long enough, you're bound to trip and fall on your face.
I don't know why, but it strikes me as a comment from Kate or Steve.

It sounds more like one of the teens or tweens on twitter. It's the same old, same old argument these kids they use over there. There's one there who always says to grow up and act like adults.
In addition to apostrophes and periods, they need to learn to use upper case in the first words of their sentences. :) Their writing style looks like something that someone would tweet.
Be well, rubyred :o)
Finally someone pops up on Twitter who may be able to beat the sheeple in terms of creepiness:
mssamanatha
Lord please take this pain away please I CLAIM HEALING RIGHT NOW!! DEVIL U BETTA BACK UP LION OF JUDAH ROAR!!!!
---------------
I hope she doesn't live anywhere near Kate - its as creepy as it gets. Not lion about that!
I checked the tweets from the Australian sheeple I mentioned last night, the mother of nine who flew across Australia to attend the dinner (which occurred already there, as it's the middle of the night Saturday night/Sunday morning there now). She also plans to attend the Steve Irwin Day festivities on Tuesday, November 15th. There was speculation on Twitter last night that she' a set-up by Khate because Khate is following her (supposedly so she could ship Khate some vegemite). Some think that Khate is following her because it was arranged to have this sheeple at the dinner to bid on (and win) the lunch with Khate. Btw, tickets to the Steve Irwin Day Gala Dinner go for $245, not to mention hotel and airfare expenses. Her tweets don't mention who won the lunch, which is kind of odd:

Hollybaby.com has an interesting article about kart...
They quote a "source close to kart" - isn't that an oxymoron?
@ Maryanne,
PS: Marie, I haven't heard the expression "might could" since I lived in AL. Big smile.
**********************************************
I'm a little confused at the moment. If this is to me or someone else? I don't remember saying this so I don't think I could take credit for it.
Ah...well maybe I'll reread through the posts later I guess.
Yep, and it does strike me as a teenager to say such a thing. Thing is, teenagers aren't known to have an ample vocabulary other than a few choice words because they think it makes them sound grown up.

No Kate, it's not cute. You're not cute. As a matter of fact, it's old. You're old. You getting these gigs in Australia should tell you something; the reason Terri Irwin picked you is because she knew YOU would do it. There was probably NO ONE else who would. Her ship is sinking too. Kate's ship is sunk. How is Kate even relevant in AUS? Didn't she treat people there like ass?
------------------------------------------------------
Well we've read the articles about Terri's mismanagement of the zoo, and there has been much criticism of her in the Australian press. She's a fellow child exploiter who met Khate once, but they're apparently buddies now.
We've all wondered if the zoo is footing the bill to bring Khate, of all people, all the way to Australia for Steve Irwin Day. So, yes, it appears that the zoo IS paying for the entire trip to Australia, (including Steve's fee, I'm sure), and probably paying Khate a fee too. It is beyond odd that Khate is the best choice for this when she is barely known there and had to travel so far. So, it must be true that no local celebrity was willing do it for Terri Irwin.
Here's the confirmation - I just read this long article by Terri Irwin and at the very end of the article it says:
On Tuesday we invite everyone to join us for Steve Irwin Day.
We will have a day full of special events and Kate Gosselin (Kate Plus Eight) will be officially launching Steve Irwin Day in our Crocoseum.
http://www.sunshinecoastdaily.com.au/story/2011/11/13/our-battle-to-save-the-planet/
"might could" is also from Missouri! My Granner used to say it all the time. Miss her.....
I agree that it's probably Katie Irene after a couple hours with her box o' wine. The numerous exclamation points sound just like her.
Well, the zoo can always take her as a loss against taxes........ sigh..........

Marie -- Your post at 6:25. I love that sweet phrase. Haven't hear it since living in the South.
@Permanent Name,
Haha. I grew up in Belgium until I was 11, moved to Illinois until I was 15, then moved down to sunny California until 18. Now, 4 years later I live in snowy Utah.
Still not sure I said this. I "might could," have said it. I picked up slang from all over the place.
Post from MaryAnn --
Marie, I live in IL. You didn't get it from here. It is a charming phrase, I think. I lived in the South of 12 years and I first heard "might could" there.
Says it all, I think.
If yiu'll thought Kat's eoline vid was funny this one is pretty good.

Wish I could use boxed wine as an excuse for my type-flubs. Please forgive, and read what I meant. Marie, check your 6:25 post today. Might could is right there and very delightful.
Appologies if you have seen this before.

You know when I originally posted Admin, all I saw above was the word "pasta," and I couldn't figure out how that figured into the equation of Kate's new photograph.
But, you might could make your hat taste better if you pour the pasta sauce over it?
***********************************************
I'll be darn, I did say it! Hahaha. I was looking for 6:25AM, so I looked under PM and I found it. I posted it. Glad to give you a laugh. Didn't even notice I said that :)
By the way, I think Khate has known about this gig for a long time. Ever since she's been on Twitter, she has talked about wanting to go back to Australia in November for Steve Irwin Day. Then, a couple of months ago when the sheeple were trying to organize a "meet and greet" with her, she said that mid November wasn't good for her and suggested December instead.
It's strange that she keeps these things a secret, though. Has anyone checked her website? Has she ever added anything to the "Upcoming Events" tab, or whatever it was called? It seems silly she never plugged her radio spot, The View, or this gig.
Between going to Chicago for a couple of day this week and now Australia, she's going to be away from the kids for at least a week, maybe ten days. How that could be worth it is beyond me, plus to be so very far from the kids. I could never do that. This is also supposed to be "her" weeekend, so I hope the kids are NOT with the "sitter", but with their father. I wouldn't be surprised, though, if she keeps her travel plans a secret from him because she doesn't want to let the kids be with him on "her" weekend, even if that means they have to sit home with a sitter. That is just ridiculous and selfish, and will most likely land her back in court soon. Not many judges would agree that the kids are better off home all weekend with a sitter when they could be with a parent. I've had experience with several similar cases, as I'm sure Admin has also had.
The fact that Terri Irwin has someone like Kate so involved at all with all these festivities just speaks to her ongoing mismanagement of the Steve Irwin franchise.
We already know the zoo is in serious trouble. Terri is under fire. There was even an investigation of the whole thing. Steve's family is estranged from her. It couldn't get much worse. And so for her "M.C." of all these festivities she picks one of the most controversial celebs of all time??
Good thinking! NOT!
The last thing you do is invite MORE controversy and MORE criticism when the ship is going down. It would be the same for any controversial celeb. Pick a squeaky clean celeb or get out of town. Terri is as dumb as Kate. It's inevitable that zoo is going down the drain. Steve would do a crocodile style roll over in his grave.
@NLAN, I agree! Her jett-setting lifestyle, so to speak, here, there really I would think a judge would look twice at something like that.
She seems happiest earning her living because she had 8 kids, it's nothing special. She never seems happy stuck in PA. I just know if this was reverse and Jon had custody and was leaving the kids constantly Kate would be dragging his butt to court every chance she got.
Just looked at the Hollybaby article and wouldn't you know it, a study in contrasts. Right next to the Kate is Pathetic and Sad article, there's another Hollywood Mommy traveling across the world.
Angelina Jolie. In Vietnam this week. Not for some gala dinner or to latch on to another celeb or further pimp her brand. Nope, she was there to take her son Pax back to see where he was born and where he came from.
Imagine that, something that is all about the child and not about you!
I totally agree about Terri Irwin, Admin. The zoo is in trouble and that's probably why she's marketing the hell out of Bindi. I read an article the other day that said:
Five years after the death of her famous father Steve, Bindi Irwin, 13, is firmly installed as the face of the Australia Zoo empire.
*****
And with 11 new television and multimedia projects on the drawing board with the Irwins' new production partner Fremantle Media, Bindi looks as if she's about to start her run. She's certain she is ready.
Kate is missing so many things in her kids lives time that she can't get back. All cause she needs to travle she doesn't want to be around them now what makes her think they going want.
To be around her when they old enough to live the house and have a choice not to come back if they don't have to?.
Kate's sheeple is claiming that her involvement with the RC is making the community rally around her? WOW, just wow.
Didn't Jaime once commented that Kate thinks she's Angelina Jolie and it pissed Kate off?
Her illusions of grandeur knows no bounds.
I like Jolie very much for her intelligent approach to philanthropy. I remember reading over the summer about how the foundation that she created in her oldest son, Maddox's name has expanded. Her goal was to make these poor communities self sustaining through education.
http://www.mjpasia.org/cd.html
Didn't Khate talk about how much the kids loved the trip to Australia? It was the best ever, a once in a lifetime trip (except, not once for her, ha). Can you even imagine being a parent and going back there without the kids? If that were me, my kids would definitely be upset and "jealous" that I got to go back and they didn't. Our family has a very special favorite vacation spot (an island get away) that we go to. My husband and I often joke about wanting to go there by ourselves for once, but, oh, you wouldn't believe the uproar from the kids! They're horrified (lol), like "HOW could you go there without US?". Of course, we wouldn't do it (until they're grown, maybe).
You can't tell me that Khate's kids don't feel left out. If she tells them it's for "work" that doesn't make it any better for the kids. Plus, they know just how very far away she is, which can be very unsettling to young children.
It is kind of funny how Khate is so despised here that she has to travel all the way to Australia to get a gig opening an event at a zoo. I bet a zoo here wouldn't even want her, lol!
Waiting to hear how the auction went. In light of everything that has been happening lately here, I find this auction item downright creepy:
BINDI IRWIN'S DRESS
Worn by Bindi at the 2009 Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards.
A coin with two sides:
1. kart has to go to the other side of the world to get a gig
2. Terri has to have a 'celeb' (a walking uterus - gag) from the other side of the world
Are these two meant for each other? LOL
Re the Hollybaby pic...notice the HUGE diamond on her left ring finger...I honestly think she and Steve are already married. And does anyone have links to the pics of them at LAX...he doesn't show in the Hollybaby photo and I can't find them on the Internet. Thanks.
Dwindle and Knows Quality, thank you both for the clarification on the RC. I appreciate what you told me. Like I said, I do think the Rc does do wonderful work for disaster victims. It's great that both of you volunteer and donate to them. Kudos to you both.
Everyone should have a cause that they are devoted to. As I've posted before, my cause is the US Military (active duty and veterans)-care packages, Christmas stockings, letters etc... I guess that is why the RC story kind of hit home if you know what I mean?
But I think it is safe for all of us to agree, that Kate is the wrong person to wear the blanket. Maybe in her warped mind she thinks she'll get a cut from the donations that her "fans" donate?? That would be just like her. (snark).
I hope Steve isn't dumb enough to marry her she has been wearing that ring befor the first Aussie trip though.
I too think this Australian Zoo gig has been in the planning since last January. Shortly after she got back she was quoted as saying she missed Terri Irwin the most and she couldn't wait until they reconnect. How long did they actually spend together, a couple of days max(?) and now she misses Terri Irwin the most. Yes, I think a return visit was discussed; the only thing to work out was who pays? Now that she has been dropped by TLC, Terri is picking up the check. Big mistake for the Australian Zoo; the organization is having major financial problems. They couldn't get a local celeb willing to participate.

++++++++++++++++
Admin, I think that it is beyond creepy. To buy the dress of a child is absolutely insane. Who would want it, and for what purpose? To even put it out there at auction defies any bit of reason. What parent would do this?
Speaking of parenting, I was reading about the times that the Gosselins were left alone with the crew. I wanted to see the video of the new house when one of the boys was filmed in the bathroom. Kate was downstairs; Jon was outside. One of the boys had pooped and called to be wiped. Kate was cleaning the refrigerator. She told one of the twins to wipe him. The camera recorded him as saying that another kid pooped, too. Kate ignored it. She went back to the window, flagged down Jon and told him he was needed inside, that the wiping would have to wait. She went back to cleaning.
For heaven's sakes, what parent does that? Ignores her kids on the potty who need help, making them sit there and wait for someone else to clean them up when she's right there in the house. The refrigerator was more important than taking care of her son's needs.
If you don't want to take care of your kids, then you have no business having them.

Yes, I've seen it often but on the middle finger of her right hand...never on her left ring finger. It's obvious he lives w/ her...have to laugh at the idea some have of her actually paying him when she's crying poor (which is a lie, but still).
Re the Hollybaby pic...notice the HUGE diamond on her left ring finger...I honestly think she and Steve are already married.

Kate couldn't pull off anything like that. She can't keep quiet. Someone would have found out about it and leaked it to the media. Someone like those "close insiders" who are always quoted in interviews.
If she were married, can you imagine the flack she would get, having gone on television shows, talking about dating, what she's looking for in a man, flirting in a bar with a guy, if she were already married? Talk about deception! She'd never live it down.

How is it obvious? Evidence, please! Maybe I'm missing something. If he lives with her, where was he during the storm? She had no clue what to do. Where was he when she needed help getting that chair out of her bedroom...it was Mr. Pool Man who came to her rescue.
Where was he when she was parked in the fire lane, lugging around a heavy package, or pumping gas? If Jon were still in the picture, he's be her manservant. If Steve were in the picture, he'd be her lackey. After all, he carries purses!

YES! And both of these RC photos of her prove that Jamie was spot-on with her comment. I just have to laugh at those big arse dangling fancy earrings she chose to wear for a RC pic. Her conceit knows no bounds.
I think that photo that Holly Baby is using is old. I can't remember when it was, but it was in an airport and some pap handed her flowers. I think TMZ had a video clip of it at the time. She does usually wear that ring now, but on the middle finger of her right hand.
I do not think she and Steve are a couple. Just think of all the evenings and weekends she's all alone and admittedly doing nothing but tweeting. I doubt she'd be doing that if Steve (or any man) were there, especially when she doesn't have the kids for the weekend.

Yes but were talking about Kate remeber she has no shame in anything she say's or does.
Haven't caught up yet. Sorry if this has already been posted.

Here's the link from when Kate was at the Kentucky Derby I belive this what you guys mean.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9BEBbgZdRc
It's always bothered me how Kate put herself out there on a reality show and then complains when people react to what they saw. A lot of us watched at first because the kids were cute, then started realizing how mean Kate was. We watched it - and then we heard her say it was the "realest" show out there. And a LOT of people concluded she was mean, a terrible mother, selfish, controlling, etc. She put it out there and we watched it - and now she complains when we don't like what we saw (and continue to see with her current actions). Jeesh - how completely dumb can she be?
Here's an article from The Daily Mail with similar photos to the one being used by Holly Baby. They are all from back in May when Khate was on her way home from The Kentucky Derby, for Mother's Day and the pap handed her flowers:

Speaking of that darn refrigerator-cleaning episode, someone tweeted:
XXX
@toughtessie @Underwalt @kateplusmy8 Kate ended up having to pay a hefty settlement to the owner - a doctor - to avoid a slander suit
Where do they come up with this stuff? Kate pay a settlement? Kate dig into her own pockets? On what planet? If I recall, TLC took care of the matter with Dr. and Mrs. C.
Kate, not so much. Her pockets were still full.
I can't imagine that TLC wouldn't expect any backlash from airing that episode. Wouldn't you think that they would have legal advisers checking to make sure nothing they showed could potentially bring about a lawsuit against them? Kate just went about her merry old way slamming them. No red flags there, TLC? Talk about irresponsible editing.
rubyred said... Thanx for all the great advice everyone! Who knew I'd get such in-the-know answers! Way better than surfing info on line. Anyway, I'm off the walk-in clinic (I'm in Canada) only they don't do triplicate perscriptions on a walk-in basis. I totally understand. Anyone tried Torodol?
**********************
I dont know too much about it. To my understanding it is a very strong NSAID (aspirin, ibuprofen etc) and not meant to be used for more than a couple of days because it is so hard on the stomach. I am not a nurse or a doctor.
If Kate changed the hand she is wearing a ring on, it is likely just to get us talking about something else other than the Red Cross mess up, her nasty sour disposition on the Chicago interview, and her obvious disdain for couponcabin umm dot com. I wont allow myself to be distracted from the fun I am having trying to figure out why she is being so public about her annoyance with her new One Hour A Week hobby - er, I mean, blogging 'job'.
@ LisaNH - Good for you for supporting our deployed service people! In hindsight I sure hope my story about the RC during the flooding didnt come across as snippy - I sure didnt mean it that way. I did give back after they helped my daughter so much, but all in all, my cash money goes to Salvation Army or USO. :)
Hey, NLAN, on what are you basing your comment that the Zoo paid for Kate's expenses to AUS? Just curious. I checked out their corporate sponsors, very slim pickings, they had 4 entire sponsorship "categories" that were unclaimed. Hard to believe in this case that they could find the money to cover Kate and her wrangler. I don't doubt that if the Zoo did in fact lay out cash for this, it will be well hidden from the public.

Not to mention Thanksgiving!
BY THE WAY, KATE, 12 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!
I have a 1200 sq foot house (not including the finished basement) and I am having 22 people, not including all the infants. No, I wont have housekeepers, cooks, hired hands, and whoever else she pays to attend her. I cant decide if I am more stressed about my mother coming, or my two snooty sisters in law.
But Kate will carry on like she is the only person to ever even HEAR of Thanksgiving dinner, whining about how busy and stressed she is because she had to 'work' sometime during the month. I dont know how her sheeple put up with her; are all 6 of them stay-at-homes? With all her hired help, you would think those 6 fans would get annoyed with hearing how stressful it is for her to mastermind her hired staff.
She'll post some rambling, convoluted, confusing maze of how she actually basted Mr. Tom Turkey Bird Man once and managed to get the potatoes on the table all on her own. One of the kids will say "Gobble Gobble" and she will write two jumbled paragraphs about how cute it was.
I grew up in a family of 9 kids - anyone else have memories of Thanksgivings with large families and tons of company? And your mom doing all all all alone? Just wondering...
To bad being a first class grifter can't get Kate a show
