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.
Now move on now and let this organization do its good work.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 245 of 245 Newer› Newest»Knows Quality -- thanks for the explanation of RC's charging for donuts and coffee. But - why did they do it off British soil? My dad was a WWII vet (U.S. Navy, 7th Fleet). He was stationed in the S. Pacific. He told the same stories about being charged for coffee and donuts. He also said the RC talked a good game, but if you really needed help, you went to the Salvation Army or the USO. Now, mind you, my Dad taught Red Cross first aide classes both before and after the war. He was also a regular blood donor (member of the 10 Gal. club many times over) until he was disqualified by age and illness. He had an unusual blood type (A Neg.), and I remember many times him being called in the middle of the night to come donate for some unfortunate accident victim. However, when it came to cash donations, he never gave to the RC. I don't either, although I do donate supplies and time.
Re the "you b*tch" post -- what Kate and the Sheeple fail to recognize is that respect isn't given, it is earned. What has Kate done to earn respect? Publicly abuse her children mentally, physically and verbally? Ditto her spouse? Publicly denigrate her ex, the father of her children, at every opportunity? Use and discard people like used toilet paper? Cut family members and (former) friends from her childrens' lives? Live beyond her means? Make everything all about her? Refuse to acknowledge all the help she's received? Nope, not seeing anything worthy of respect here.

My mom was the queen of preparedness. She'd buy her Thanksgiving turkey in, say, August and pop it in the downstairs freezer. She'd start making anything ahead of time that would freeze well. She would have one of us decorate and set the table and polish the silver at least the day before. On Thanksgiving morning she would put the thawed turkey in the oven, then set a timer for the other parts of the meal that required some oven time. One of us would fix the relish plate, mom brought a few pies out of the freezer to cook during dinner (she always baked them frozen) and the milk/tea/water were put on the table, and dinner was served.
Pre-Thanksgiving Day stress? Spread out over several weeks. Thanksgiving Day rush? Zero.
Kate? Are ya listening?
Dwindle...
I come from a family of 13 children. My mom has always done it all herself. Of course once we got older we pitched in with mashing the potatoes and carving the turkey. Up until a few years ago my mom had everyone and their spouses and the grand kids. Believe me it was insane but fun. Mom did all the cooking and we did all the clean up. It was like that for every holiday. My mom was just happy to have the family together. She baked and prepared for weeks. But she did it all on her own. She is now 80 and widowed. My sister has decided to take on the duties. She too loves to cook and have the family get together. Now my mom gets to sit back and relax and just enjoy being with family.
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.
++++++++++++++
Or she will take all of them to Millers Smorgasbord for Thanksgiving dinner and complain about how difficult it is when she has to go through the buffet line eight times because the kids can't get their own meals (Discovery Cove).
In the Neighborhood, no I have no evidence Steve lives with her, but he's been photographed even leaving a tanning place with her...high security needed there...and he is NEVER photographed with his wife...NEVER...not in two (2) years. He is with Kate constantly for Court, for family photos, for her t.v. appearances...where are there ANY pictures of him with his wife...does she ever need security or looking after? I think it's common sense to realize they are a couple and have been for a long time. And I believe he was there for the storms and every other thing, just not photographed or mentioned. And I have a friend with a relative who has witnessed their lovey-dovey act first hand. It will all come out eventually.
P.S.--And even Ashley and Jamie said (on camera) about Steve regarding the pizza episode, "It's ALWAYS about him, isn't it?" One of these days people are going to have the balls to start revealing the truth.
I think that comment from Jamie was our best evidence yet of something going on.
A couple of my sources are telling me the same thing--that Steve is splitting his time between his home and Kate's. Some weekends with Kate, some with his family. That makes sense because perhaps when Steve is not there, she will tweet up a storm. When he is, those are many of the times we get Twitter silence. For instance when we KNOW he is with her, such as right now in Australia, she is dead silent on Twatter.
Because I can't verify this, take what you will from it.
I have always thought they were secretly married, also. They acted like a married couple on the RV episode (thank you TLC, watching you again).
OT, and not related to KT, but did anyone watch Joy last night? She had the comedian on from SNL that used to do the eerily correct impressions of Clinton, Chaney, and the works. Can't think of his name. But he has written a book - God if You're Not Up There, I'm ******.
He talked growing up with a psycho mom who literally tortured him and now readily admits that he himself is psycho. It was very interesting. Just watching his interactions with Joy was mesmerizing (for lack of a better word).
I can't wait to read the book.
Saw this article:
http://www.frasercoastchronicle.com.au/story/2011/11/13/terri-irwin-her-own-words/
Towards the end she talks about Kate
"This November 15 we will be inviting everyone to join us at Steve Irwin Day. This will be our fifth year to commemorate everything that was most important to Steve: wildlife, wild places, family and fun. 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.
Rumour has it that the beautiful Kate may even get a special surprise.
Ummm. Wonder what the "special surprise" could be
One of the kids caught Kate and Steve kissing.
Jon was insanely jealous of Steve traveling with Kate and then staying at their home.
Jon wanted Steve removed from the job. Is Steve so irreplaceable? Why wasn't another security person brought in?
If that why Kate say's the kids want her to get remarried.? Was that her why of saying she's all ready married or is getting married to the bodyguard.?
Isn't it funny how some things are just in the eye of the beholder?

krisaustin24
I just saw @Kateplusmy8 on tmz and my god that woman is a babe
I would think that if Khate were getting any from Steve, she wouldn't be so damn miserable all the time. I guess she's unaware that sex is a great stress reliever. It works wonders on headaches too. I speak from experience.
Now that the holidays are approaching, it will be interesting with Khate on Twitter. So far, she's been on Twitter just for Easter. Also, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day, where she wasn't having or attending traditional barbecues with family and friends. But, Thanksgiving and Christmas are huge family holidays with big gatherings of extended family. Will Khate be tweeting about how she's all alone in the house, just her and the kids? Or, it it Jon's turn for Christmas? Didn't she have them last year? So, will it be like this past Easter where she was tweeting all alone all weekend, waiting for them to get back? It's a sad life, but it's HER life.
One of the kids caught Kate and Steve kissing.
@@@@@@
There is no evidence of this. It was never substantiated. It was one of those internet rumors.
"Jon wanted Steve removed from the job. Is Steve so irreplaceable? Why wasn't another security person brought in?"
Again, this was never proven. We don't know why Steve was never replaced other than by that time, the marriage was on the rocks, and it may have been her way of giving Jon the finger. She had control. He relented.
I'm far from being a sheeple, but some of the stories being passed off as fact have never been documented. They get passed around and spread like wildfire.
Wasn't there also a PA radio DJ who swore that he saw Steve and Kate in a hotel lobby (or hotel parking lot) and they were kissing? Who knows.
If they are an item, why not just come clean and let people know? Why hide it? I wonder if Steve has told her he will not marry her and that is why she is always harping on the "poor me, who would want to be with me" story. Or is she trying to get some dating show gig? It is just so odd to be traveling with this guy and what purpose does he serve? She does not need a bodyguard. It is ridiculous. It is just like he is a paid escort.
Wasn't there a story published two or three years ago about Kate and Steve on Bald Head Island, NC where they were seen sitting on the beach together with their "knees touching". Someone tried taking a picture but Stevie boy made her delete it. They were filming at that time.
Tate, the DJ saw them very early in the morning in a hotel lobby and they were just holding hands, not kissing. And this was so long ago that Kate still had the reverse mullet.

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.
___________________
FireChick, thank you for your involvement in helping to save lives and property. I completely agree with you regarding this campaign. It does seem insensitive. If the RC wanted celebrity endorsements, they could have easily had them just holding the blankets.
About 5 years ago, our neighbor's house directly across the street from us caught fire (electrical short in a string of Christmas lights). It was so scary. One minute there were a few flames in the garage, and the next the entire left half of the house was engulfed. The family made it out safely, except for their beautiful German Shepherd, who had fled deeper into the house to escape the smoke.
I will never forget standing in the cold night seeing the agony and horror on the family's faces as they frantically watched to see if their dog would be rescued. We gave them coats and blankets, but there was nothing we could do to comfort them after the fire was finally out, when they watched as a fireman carried from the house the body of their beloved pet, wrapped in a blanket. Thankfully it was not a human life lost that night, but it was heartbreaking nonetheless.
I have so much respect and gratitude for the brave men and women who run into burning buildings and put their lives at risk to save others. It is sad to think that Kate appears not to appreciate the sacrifices of others. She is missing out on all the most precious and important parts of life.
Jon said in an interview that he was jealous of his wife traveling with Steve. He also told Kevin and Jodi that he suspected an affair. That is reason enough to replace the 'body guard' unless there was an ulterior motive to keep him.
Thanksgiving morning as a child. . . thrilled to be out of school for 4 days. Waking up on Thanksgiving morning to the smell of turkey roasting in the oven. Waiting on the grandparents to arrive so that we could eat. Lovely and scrumptious pumpkin pie for dessert (a once a year treat). Having a wet dish towel fight with my sister while cleaning the dishes after. Watching how happy it made my mom to have us all together. I miss her lively, sparkling eyes and her smile.
My two brothers and grandfather who served in the serivce makes me proud. Kate taking credit from people who have or will have donated to the red cross doesn't shock me.
This woman takes credit for everything under the sun that she can it's all about her and what people can to for her.
My cousin lost all three of her children in a house fire 3 years ago. I agree that house fires are not cute or coy. It's a horrible tragedy.
Seeing Kate's stupid grin as part of this campaign makes me ill. I feel the same way (to a lesser degree) seeing Danny Bonaduci looking hung over on a couch. Why is he a part of this?

-------------------------------
It was last summer (2010), from this HuffPo article:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/katy-hall/kate-plus-8-on-bald-head_b_682082.html
Haven't posted since Kate was last here in Australia earlier this year. I reported then that as far as I could tell (I live in Melbourne, Victoria), she wasn't on the radar at all for the media in this country.
Don't imagine it will be different this time, although Australia Zoo has generated for itself much (positive) publicity lately, and promotion of a happy teenage Bindi as its face. The article on the link below appeared in a Melbourne paper last week.
http://tinyurl.com/6mxxh4f
Contrary to the impression you may have got over there, there hasn't been a lot of Terri bashing here or issues raised about her children and their lives, management of the zoo, or Terri's relationship with Steve's family. I don't think most people in Australia care about those aspects and in any case if they did are most likely to conclude that it's difficult to know the real story. They would probably agree that the Irwin children lead strange lives by any standards but that they seem to be doing OK personally and may be doing good in the wider sense. I don't have an opinion.
By the way, I recently viewed on cable for the first time (endless repeats are shown here, but mostly of when the couple were still together) the episode of John & Kate plus 8 where the family choose beds for the tups but where a lot of the focus is on Colin's bowel problem. To me, both parents are sick for discussing at all their little boy's private and personal situation during their visit to the store and TLC equally so for focusing on it in editing and then filming Jon dealing with it. Reprehensible all round (and sorry to say Jon had no more sensititvity then than anyone else involved).
I saw the picture of Kate (in pink shirt) at the Coupon Cabin offices where she was seated at a desk with her fingers on a keyboard. There is some text on the monitor in front of her. I would love to know what that text says. Are there any techies out there that know of a way to capture that text and make it readable?
Jon suspected there was a relationship between Steve & Kate other than professional and spouses are often times pretty perceptive. However, looking back now I'm sure Jon is eternally thankful to Steve for wooing Kate away.
It's beyond my comprehension WHY anyone would comply with a stranger to DELETE a photo from their camera?
If they are in a public setting & the camera belongs to the photographer, why allow a stranger to bully them? For example, if I took the same pic & Steve approached me, I would simply say, "F*ck you! This is my personal property!" If he physically touched me in ANY WAY, I would simply call 911 then file an assault charge against Steve Neild. Simple logic right?!
Someone has to have incriminating evidence about their alledged illicit affair. She's happiest when he's around her. The RV episode was interesting to watch their interaction. She may be throwing temper tantrums but HE is definitely in control. Although the scene where she's screaming & calling him rude appeared to be the same behaviors she exhibited with Jon. AND Steve's response was interesting. While she was standing in the RV door screaming about how rude he was, he tried to talk to her then dropped his head, in the SAME manner that Jon did. Watch it.
I agree with other posters, Jaime & Ashley gave something away. "It's always about him (Steve)" Reflect back to last year when Steve took some time off to take Gina to Europe for their anniversary. There are pictures of Katie looking miserable while he was away. She was probably mourning the possibility that the Neild's were ENJOYING their anniversary AWAY from the madness of C-atie Kreider.
She's had work done to her face to morph into Taylor Swift. Something is SERIOUSLY wrong with a 35+ woman who gushes all over a younger woman. Taylor BTW earned her entertainer of the year award b/c she is talented & WORKS HARD for her fame. Unlike C-atie who rides on the backs of the Gosselin 8. Sad, so very sad.
Gaby - sorry, I didn't see that you had already found the article and posted the link!
Well, I do think that kart needs someone to run interference for her. She has no social skills whatsoever and gets flustered/angry/impatient when things don't go exactly her way.
I'm pretty convinced she couldn't have handled making her travel arrangements and managed getting from her car to the airplane without help. I'm not being snarky here - she really does need someone to validate her, to do her bidding and to keep riffraff from bothering her.
She believes she is so above everyone and has no ability to manage small talk or negotiating.
"Give me the first class seat, I'm kart gosselin!" Am I remembering wrong or were the folks backstage at DWTS told not to talk to her directly?
I think she missed out on social skills growing up.
So sad and pathetic.... and she'd deathly afraid of being confronted by someone who doesn't like her or won't give in to her demands.
I have long believed that Steve is the reason TLC ultimately had to drop Kate and also why she won't be getting a TV show of her own any time soon. I think that over the course of K+8, she kept pushing to get him brought into camera range more and more, in an effort to show a "developing" (though in fact already well-established) relationship and thus set up an on-screen transition to Steve as "daddy." But I think TLC rightly realized this was a non-starter in terms of all of the $$$ they'd already invested in Kate as "struggling, independent, SINGLE mom of 8." ("Twist of Kate," anyone? Not to mention all they still have invested in their many other "reality" properties.) And if TLC wasn't ready and willing to make a buck off THIS highly dysfunctional twist in the Kate story, it's hard to imagine any other producer/network touching it with a 10-foot pole. I think Kate really burned her TLC bridges with a lot of outrageous demands and petulant tantrums, and at some point in the journey, TLC said "enough." And she was done, just like that. Ratings certainly weren't enough to sustain her anymore.
With all of her insistence on K+8 being "the realest reality show," her coming out now as Steve's GF/fiance/wife, after literally YEARS of speculation from the outside (and LYING from the inside), would earn her the dubious honor of the "fakest reality star" for the rest of time. I don't think Stevie can be released from the closet until the dreams of "stardom" have irrevocably been put to bed.
I also think it's quite possible that she's been trying to peddle a new show starring Steve as the G8's "new daddy," but even the most shameless promoter would find that a hard pill to swallow after all of the lumps Jon took for his post-separation antics and her concurrent long-suffering Madonna act.
I think that sooner or later, they will be out in the open, but not as long as Kate is clinging to the SuperMom image as a possible career path.
I hasten to add that ALL of the above is total conjecture on my part, but given the little clues from the RV trip (and other episodes--remember Kate disappearing with Steve in Alaska without the kids for a couple of days?), what TLC decided to air, comments from people who saw them on the road, etc., I don't feel like I am coming out of left field on this.
What does everyone else think? Let's discuss!
If I took of Steve & Kate 2gther I'd tell him to have. Kate make me get rid of it-(bring it on blondie)
That Australian sheeple is posting away about the dinner last night, including photos of Khate up at the podium. I still see no mention of WHO won the lunch with Khate. I don't have time to post the tweets or pics here, so just check out her Twitter feed. Read up from towards the bottom (starting with today's tweets) and click the links she has for pics:

....they need to learn to use upper case in the first words of their sentences. :) .....
I really hate to say this, but so does EM.... sorry EM, but when your posts are all done in lower case, they are very hard to read! I find myself trying to figure out what you are trying to say, and after a few of your longer posts, I just end up giving up completely and scrolling past them because they are too hard for me to read. If you used capital letters in the first letter of each sentence, it makes things much easier to read. Again EM, I am sorry! You usually have such great things to say, but when I can't read it, I have to skip by it. :(
Hey everyone! Thanx for the info re: toradol, Dwindle. It's used pretty widely around here. I guess because it's non-addictive, or so i'm told.
I feel like I need to caveat my pancreatitis by saying that I do not/never have drank alcohol. That's the #1 cause and people assume you're an old or ex-alcoholic when diagnosed with pancreatitis.
Why do I feel the need to explain this to people I don't even know? I guess I'd be mortified if ANYONE thought I developed this by over-drinking. They don't know why. Idiopathic.
Anyway, I agree with you gals. I could never go on a 'dream' vacation with out my boy. I'd miss him to pieces and I'd feel very guilty. That's just me, though.
Dwindle said...
@ 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. :)
______________________________________
Dwindle, you didn't come off snippy at all. :)
Good for you too for helping the Salvation Army and USO. Great organizations. It is amazing how quickly the SA can deploy to a disaster. I used to work with a lady who was in the Salvation Army and she really was kindest person. I can remember a number of times when she would invite victims of house fires in her home to stay until they got on their feet or the home was repaired. She just felt it was the right thing to do.
We are a long line of troops supporters in our family. My grandmother worked as a voluntter at the USO in Boston during WWII. She was really devoted and put in a lot of hours for that organization. My father also used to help out DAV whenever he could and he gave regularly to them.
This is probably one of the worst tragedies about Kate. She could do so much with her celebrity to help out others but she's too self centered to even consider doing anything for charity unless it involves filming.

###############
EM, you have great things to say, but I have to agree. Sometimes I've just skipped your comments because it was just too hard to read them. They hurt my brain!
I hate it when I see huge posts without paragraphs, too. Nearly everyone here has good things to share, but my eyes just glaze over when they have to wade through a huge wall of text.
I know I've skipped some really good comments just because it was too hard to get through them. It's a little difficult to start putting capital letters in when you haven't got the habit, but EM I hope you'll consider it.
Everybody else, please consider using paragraphs if you don't already. It's easy - just hit "enter" every four or so lines, at the end of a sentence!
Hope nobody minds my mentioning this. The commenters here are really a remarkable group. Lots of different opinions, lots of respect and kindness.
I too believe Kate has known about this for a while. When the show was still on, she tweeted that she was going back to Australia in November. At the time, I wondered why TLC would send her back after the bad ratings.
Someone upthread wondered if the kids were with Jon. According to a Rumor Fix article, they are.
Here's the quote: "Meanwhile, Kate’s kids are staying behind in Pennsylvania with dad Jon Gosselin. A source close to Jon tells RumorFix that the IT worker is frustrated because Kate doesn’t communicate her world-wind travel plans to him."
Why do they call Kate beautiful in the Aus article? Kate probably demanded she be called beautiful in the Aus press.
The surprise is probably something gets named after her.
New post about the gala dinner.
Is the Australian sheeple embarrassed about what dinner with Kate went for? Wouldn't you be excitedly tweeting that it went for several thousands dollars or whatever???
I'm so curious now!
Frankly, I hope the drop bears and yowies come for her. ;0)
I found this on the Australian Zoo Site. It's a countdown to live streaming of Steve Irwin day on the 15th. I also found this w/ a pic of Kate. "Join Special guest star Kate Gosselin to officially open Steve Irwin Day 2011 "
She must have done a reallly good job of kissing Terri's butt when she was there. Wonder if they have Skype dates. Although I doubt Kate even knows what Skype is. Never heard her Skype the kids on her zillion travels.
What's with the diamonds on her hands in the pics Hollybaby has on her site. Did she and Steve elope. The rings weren't on her finger when she was as her "job" in the hot pink dress.

------------------------------------
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?
*********
A house fire is not the same as a hurricane. A hurricane is all over the news and the need is plainly visible for all to see. Unless you have a fatal fire or a heroic rescue, your house fire might not even be on the local news. People might not donate because they don't see the problem. Most people thankfully have never experienced a house fire and believe that a problem exists only if it burns to the ground. How does having celebrities pose with blankets show potential donors why there is a need for donations to this cause?
-------------------------------
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.
**************
Perhaps. Perhaps it is impossible for me to be objective about this. I am the one who gets up from my bed in the middle of a frigid night, dons forty pounds of gear on a sweltering summer day, leaves my holiday dinner table, and risks my life for total strangers. Perhaps it offends me to see Kate Gosselin, of all people, who would not walk across the street to help someone unless she was paid, wrap up in a blanket and claim to be "helping" this cause. I can't be objective because I am too deeply involved and that's why I care.
Any bets on the yearly Steve, Gina and sons over for a "family" Thanksgiving w/ Kate for publicity shots by Chris? Hasn't it been a year or already two since Gina was last seen w/ Steve @ Kate's orphanage?
I would love to have sisters to help w/ Thanksgiving dinner. My mom's been gone 2 years, she used to do it all before Alzheimers took her years before her death. One year we counted 13 side dishes.
Kate's Cart, so sorry to hear about your mom. It's been two (2) years since Gina has set foot on Kate's property.
Obviously photo shopped.
