Kate can cry her crocodile tears, have celebrity TV interviewers hold her hand, have Steve follow her around, have her kids line up in birth order or in groups, drive an Audi, have multiple bank accounts, wear baby doll dresses, bleach her hair until it falls out, polish her nails, run 1,000 miles and cook "organic" recipes until the cows come home but at the end of the day Kate is still going to be Kate. Why? Because what's wrong with her, why she is "lonely" has nothing to do with the kids and I don't buy that garbage for a minute. It has to do with herself. How she represents herself, how she comes off to people around her, her attitude in life, her attitude towards her children.
I mean it's on tape. How can she say until people meet her they can't judge her or whatever when she's turned around and said it's the realest of reality shows out there? That one just...I can't wrap my mind around how she wants it both ways. Isn't going to happen.
Where did "I" say that "you" said the old van wasn't good enough for Kate? I know you didn't say that. I said it. You might want to re-read it all.
YOU said the children weren't suffering driving around in an old van. I said if (according to you) the children weren't suffering driving around in an old van that I guess Kate must have felt SHE was suffering driving around in an old van in order for HER to go out and by a brand new one. So did she buy a new van out of need or want?
As for my vacations with my family...
1) It's Disney World, not Disneyland. Get your facts straight.
2) I don't go crying poverty on TV, interviews and Twitter and claim I need to scrimp and save to support my children, and then go out and purchase two more expensive vehicles.
3) Feel free to discuss whatever you want about what I post as SchmeckyGirl. Most of you (Kate fans) do, anyway. Just don't be a hypocrite and say we can't discuss what Kate tweets and says if you want to discuss what I tweet or say.
4) You never answered mscatie: How does having the old van make Jon more accessible to his kids?
She's on my Yahoo page and there's at least 4000 comments...all negative. I wonder if this is what's keeping her relavent. We can't seem to stop talking about her...she's such an easy target. Although she doesn't care if what is said about her is bad or good..as long as she's talked about
Tamara, I DO have a good sense of humor! I don't know what the term would be except creeptard, or maybe asshat or turdbucket, all among the more polite things I have called him. My sense of humor failed when he sent me something that said, "Men are either hungry or horny, and you know which one by whether they have a sandwich or a boner." An 87-year-old stalker saying this to a 47-year-old woman, whose husband wouldn't even send something like that. I said it was inappropriate and he said, "Maybe, but isn't it true?" I said again that it was inappropriate and he got all indignant......'rest assured I will never darken your e-mail doorstep again' and then he was back at it a week later. Kate is already getting the same thing from Milo. That twitter feed needs to be shut down. It serves no positive purpose AT ALL.
I too saw the Yahoo page and WOW, the public has spoken! I think this may be one of the last circles of the drain! Fingers crossed!
I just wanted to address the one comment about how having the BBB made the kids more accessible for Jon.
Jon had to jump through hoops to pick up the kids when he didn't have the BBB. He had to arrange to be dropped off so he could pick up the van. The previous arrangement made this a 2-person job every time he was getting or dropping off his kids. Having the van in his possession will make the process MUCH easier for him.
I wasn't asking if Kate and Steve had requested info on who had signed up for the cruise. More so they could find out who they are on twitter, if they have any property/money, can they be squeezed for more? Oh, and to probably make fun of what they look like.
"If you think it's important, do it. Discussing it just gives the sheeple more ammunition against the haterz"
---
How would someone anonymously sending the grifter list to the camp give the sheeple ammunition? If they didn't know that it was done, or by whom, why would it cause a sheeple-hater war?
Yes. That is a possibility. However, Kate could have just let him pull into the driveway and leave his car where the van usually is.
I just don't see any good argument that Kate "gave" Jon the car to benefit anyone other than herself. Nor did she buy the new one to benefit anyone other than herself. Because, as I said, the kids are riding in the old one.
Daisy said... 4 What all did Barb Gilmer do for Kate? ###################################
Lol Daisy! Last summer the 6 fans starting asking Kate if they could send her copies of her books (all conveniently found at the Dollar Store now!) for her to autograph. She said she would, as long as they sent the correct amount of postage for her to send them back. She could not stress enough how CORRECT postage had to be enclosed or she could not send the book back. God for freakin' bid that Kate kick in .25 for a sheeple who was a little short.
I think Barb Gilmer was the first to do this and may have found Kate's address on the internet. After that, any time a sheeple wanted Kate's address to send their dusty bargain bin books, she always told them to email Barb Gilmer and get it from her. I always got the vibe Barb was not too thrilled with this.

This comment was NOT about sending the lists, it was about DISCUSSING it here. If you (anyone) think it should be done, just do it was my point.
If this has already been posted, I apologize...too much to do and still haven't found time to read the comments, but...ARE YOU KIDDING ME...KATE IS GUEST SPEAKER???
Want to honor a mother? Camp Barnabas is honoring ten Story Posted: Thursday, February 23, 2012 11:00 am

Do you know a remarkable mother? Camp Barnabas is honoring mothers at their second annual Tapas and TopHats event.
Camp Barnabas, located at 901 Teas Trail 260 in Purdy, is honoring 10 mothers out of those who are nominated as "Remarkable Mothers of the Ozarks."
The camp is a Christian camp devoted to providing outdoor activities during the summer to children and adults with special needs and chronic illnesses, according Keri McKee, the development officer for the camp.
McKee said the event, on Friday, May 4, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Remington's Entertainment Complex, 1655 W. Republic Rd., Springfield, is a black-tie fundraiser where the tapas stations represent many different cultures. There is also a silent auction, a game and raffle.
The speaker at the event is Kate Gosselin, according a news release from the camp. Gosselin is a mother of eight who gained national attention with her reality show on TLC, "Jon & Kate Plus 8," with her then husband, Jon Gosselin. In addition to the show, which was later changed to "Kate Plus 8," she has appeared on ABC's "Dancing With The Stars," and wrote three books, "Multiple Blessings," "I Just Want to Know You," and "Eight Little Faces."
"We are ecstatic to have her," McKee said. "Her heart just went out to the camp after she found out what we do. She has a love for children and is an amazing mom."
McKee said last year hundreds of nominations came in and it was difficult for their committee to pick just 10 to be honored at the event.
"There are lots of amazing stories," she said. "We don't just accept nominations for moms who have special needs children, but some of our nominees last year had set out to adopt children with special needs and have provided them with a loving environment where they can thrive."
Tickets to the event are $75 and are available for purchase at www.campbarnabas.org/tapasandtophats.
Even if a nominated mother is not chosen to be honored that night, she is still recognized with a card.
"All mothers nominated will receive a Mother's Day card that says someone thinks they are remarkable," McKee said.
Nominations for remarkable mothers are accepted through March 30. To nominate a remarkable mother go to the Camp Barnabas website, www.campbarnabas.org/nominations.
Thanks, that's it, Jeff! Her brother-in-law. He can probably go onto the estranged list.
The clip I was looking for was Babies and Bedrooms and was several parts, including Collin's constipation while buying beds and then the moving into new rooms (I think) As I mentioned, the whole shows do not seem to be on YouTube, just these mini-clips. No great loss!
I don't know why an organization would pick Kate as a speaker considering she is such a controversial character now. It would not help their cause, even if the organizers were sheeple. Everyone I know who used to watch, like myself, now feels very anti-Kate and pro-Gosselin kids and considers her a poor role model as a mother and human being in general.

Well at least it's not Mother's Day weekend, Mother's day is late this year (13th) This organization is paying/grifting/leasing her something for being there. Kate is not showing up in MO out of the blackness of her dried up heart to be around disabled-ish people for free.
I also think that out of desperation, Kate might be sticking her Flintstone toe in the waters of the Christian chat circuit again. Complete with book about how she "lost her way" in her faith but came home again. Throwing up a little in my mouth just thinking about it.
In addition to sending the camp the grift list, I just might send them a copy of J&Ks late 2008 speaking schedule, where they did at least two engagements in which they continued to claim to still need to pay for college and collected love offerings WHILE THEY WERE CURRENTLY IN ESCROW FOR A 1.2MILLION DOLLAR ESTATE!!!
I wonder if Kate ever thinks of bringing Shoka on a walk or a run? Or the kids? Why have a dog then? *************** I seem to remember that last summer Milo kept tweeting Kate that she should take Shoka with her when she runs. Kate made some lame excuse that she would have to train Shoka to run with and would start working on it at a future day. She has never mentioned running with Shoka since then.
"I said again that it was inappropriate and he got all indignant......'rest assured I will never darken your e-mail doorstep again' and then he was back at it a week later."
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
PJ -- I went to the grocery store today, walked by the asparagus and thought of you! :-)
The latest speculation is that Iwana is Milo...something to do with a picture of his pants and sneakers that were the same as the ones that Milo had on in a photo she/he tweeted.
Is there any logic to this? Don't know, just asking any of you who closely follow Twitter!
I feel very sorry for Shoka. Although he can run ( in the rain) around the property, dogs love human companionship. Although apparently Alexis greets him after school, the kids generally seem disinterested and were seen to be hitting him with wiffle bats etc. He is also at risk of being hit by a car or dognapped since he can escape from the yard, and is possibly left out all night....hope he enjoyed his grooming today. Icky boy! ;(
Thanks NJGal51, but no, I've never heard of them. Maybe I need to check them out!
You know, I'm now wondering if this was a calculated move by Dr. Drew to speed up the drainage process. But the fact he had a real super couponer on right after Kate (apparently), sort of tells me 'no.'
Why doesn't anyone ever ask her what she's doing to gain employment to support her kids?
I loathe this "woman" and "her" entire brand!
said...
Ha! Even the Honey Boo Boo child from Toddlers and Tiaras got the FULL half hour on Dr. Drew's show that was aired today! Take that Khate! Oh- and how pathetic that it seems like Drew is only booking reality people lately! Anderson Cooper has had Madonna, Janet Jackson, Courteney Cox- along with reality people too.
Thank you NJGal. I haven't posted on any other blogs in a long time. I enjoyed debating with the non-fans on the fan blogs for a while, but they couldn't hack it. Debate that is. They preferred to turn it into personal attacks. It seems to be their MO. Apparently they can't defend Kate without making it personal, so I decided to moved. Except of course for the one blog (won't mention names) that asked me to leave because one of the co-bloggers couldn't take the mental and emotional strain of my posting there. lol.
I've always enjoyed reading and commenting here though. I subscribe to all the threads even when I can't comment.
Moose Mania, that made me laugh out loud! Oh my goodness, the asparagus he gave me - you could have burned it for heat, it was so thick and woody and beyond eating. My dog (PJ, the dachsund in my avatar) is horrible. HORRIBLE! Total psycho, but this guy loved his pictures, so I took him along for that trip and held him with this guy delightedly pet and patted him. And PJ just took it! He has lunged at my friends WHILE they were petting him but with this guy, he did nothing. When I put him back in the car, I said, "You little bastard, that is the one who were supposed to bite!" I stopped for a drivein coffee and they started to pass a biscuit out and I told them to keep it, he didn't deserve it. Stupid dog.
But this was all my own fault, for letting it continue wayyyyyy past when it felt wrong.
Kate is asking about the very detailed chalkboard only because she wants one or more of her dense fans to buy her one. It's her grifting style and this shameful habitual seedy practice of hers seems to be escalating lately. Stay tuned...for more cringeworthy grifting to come.
Thanks, wayward, but I'm 48 and even if I manage to do it successfully once or twice, I will surely forget within a few days! I'll give it a whirl though.......if I don't forget.
I am sure she was livid after they told her about the RV trip, and they decided to show the film of how she actually acted through many years of filming, as opposed to the sanitized version, with hours on filming on the floor.
I guess this was TLC's FU to her after they dealt with her insanity for years, and she went ballistic at the meeting. She was more trouble than she was worth. I loved the RV show because everyone's real comments (Ashley, Jamie, filming crew, boat guy, and even Steve's comments finally made it to airing.) Let alone her irrational, angry, out of control behavior was finally shown for what she really is.
Kate is a Twit: HAAHAHAH! That wrestling organization! That's how Octomom made some money and some minor headlines for a while (don't know that she's doing it anymore).
Kate won't do it but: a) I find it hilarious that these are the kinds of offers she's getting these days and b) if she did, I would WATCH. She'd get the stuffing beat out of her. Narcissists are often big talk, little walk and can only be menacing when dealing with people physically smaller (like children).
As for the chalkboard, girlfriend is GRIFTING. She does NOT want links online for where to buy it, like some of her sheeple have given her. She wants someone to just SEND her one.
Good luck paying your bills that way, Katie.
So she's going to Springfield, MO in early May. Nothing against Springfield, but I have to laugh here, too. It's a far cry from the red carpet, m'dear.
ate is twit said... Is Google too difficult for Kate to understand. First she asked if anyone knew about any kids' triatholons, and now she's asking about a chalk board? Surprised she didn't ask them to make sure she could use a coupon to purchase it. -------------- What Kate was really asking was "will anyone out there promote my kids in a triatholon or at least pay for any register/travel/athletic gear fee" and "will anyone please send me a few free resturant style chalkboards"
Pink Straight Jacket, I noticed that, too. Sending the tweeter to Zondervan? 22 bucks plus shipping?
Give me a break. I've seen that book for 25 cents at the Salvation Army store.
I saw an entire cart load of them at Half-Price Books. Usually when you see so many books brand new at that place, it means publishers overstock and no one can sell them. They were a buck each. They sat there and sat there and were there every time I went in the store (which is often, we read a lot in my house). Finally they just all disappeared. I'm sure they have some way to offload books that don't even sell at Half-Price Books. Recycling?
And I chuckled that the fan read the first two books in one day. She always seems surprised when people say that, but it's not exactly challenging reading from what I've seen.
On the weather topic: it's 82 degrees here in Dallas. Crazy.
Kate is a Twit: HAAHAHAH! That wrestling organization! That's how Octomom made some money and some minor headlines for a while (don't know that she's doing it anymore).
***********************************************
What I wouldn't give to see a wrestler piledrive Katie Irene onto a wrestling mat.
There have been so many great lists/articles posted recently about Kate's behavior from the onset, grifting, lack of gratitude, anger, entitlement, lies, manipu lation, etc... that if you look at it in its totality, one would be hard pressed to support her, let alone admire her in any way.
Ugh! I just did a huge rant on Yahoo news where Dr. droll was interviewing her. She brings out the worst in me!! Out of over 4000 comments, the majority were so very negative, saying the same things we all say here, and on the other not-a-fan sites. She is no longer able to cry her way into anyone's heart-time is over with, go away already!
I had to laugh, too, when I saw the asparagus. These were young tender bunches, and I thought, gosh...bet PJs weren't nice like these! I thought you were going to say that your dog used the asparagus stalks as fetch bones!
PJ, I was just referring to what you said that your friends had teased you a little about attracting much older men. That's why I was asking what is the opposite of a cougar or craddlerobber, ie someone who goes for much older guys instead of much younger.
It's over Kate said... 10 SG- I agree with everything you wrote.
I just wanted to address the one comment about how having the BBB made the kids more accessible for Jon.
Jon had to jump through hoops to pick up the kids when he didn't have the BBB. He had to arrange to be dropped off so he could pick up the van. The previous arrangement made this a 2-person job every time he was getting or dropping off his kids. Having the van in his possession will make the process MUCH easier for him.
******************
Exactly.
SG, this person answered the question as I would have so please refrain from asking me again to answer it. Thank you.
Not sure it has to be this complicated. Why does Jon need a friend to help at all? Why doesn't he drive his mediocre car up to Kate's, grab the BBB and get them, then when the weekend is over drive back, drop then off and get back into his mediocre car? What am I missing here? Kate won't let him leave his car at her house for a few days? That's too much for her?
Maybe Kate tweeted about the chalkboard to give her tweeties something to keep them occupied while she's away from twitter. It's almost like giving a child a keep busy project, so that they won't bother her or notice she is not paying attention to them. They're still researching and sending links-and they say the haters have no life.
Wonder if she'll be tweeting during Mady's Alice in Wonderland performance.
Calling BS here.... this has to be at least the 3rd or 4th time in her almost one year of twatting that "a fan" tweeted that they read one or two of the books and wanted to know if there were any more. And then Kate conveniently replies that yes, there is another one and it's available at Zondervan.
The sheeple can use Google, I just know it. They do not need to ask her how many books she wrote (actually...none.. lol) and how to get them. I bet Kate is tweeting herself on a shill twatter account, trying to make it look like the fans are clamoring for more books. Is Zondervan on twitter? That would be the icing on the scam if she's including them in her replies.
Again, what part of her desperate, pathetic, phony and irrelevant life are we supposed to be jellus of?
Yes, Admin. Exactly my point. But Kate will not allow Jon to pick up the children in THEIR driveway or leave his car where the van is usually parked.
Curious and Also Curious seem to keep missing the main concerns about the new van. Why a new van if the old one is supposedly runming well enough for the kids to be driven in it? Why isn't the old van good enough for Kate if it's good enough for the kids the drive around in? Why spend their hard earned money on a new van for Kate? Nevermind the Audi.
Gift of grab said... 133 ________ I totally agree. She has no one else left. Her agent is trying to make money off of her, and have not done that great of a job, other than maybe calling in a few favors. But that is going to end soon.
The uber fans keep saying Kate's a Celebrity. Her shows off TV and no one will ever give her another show. They also say Kate's still popular they need to read the 4 thousand comments against Kate.
By jove, I think you just hit the nail on the head.... A scammer is not that hard to recognize. And Kate is the ultimate scammer- through whatever means necessary.
Seriously, I think she is getting insanely desperate, with some of her illicit practices. Never mind purchasing Twitter fans.

She had so much excitement and enthusiasm that she completely upstaged Barbie--I mean, Kate. I don't really care about the subject, but it was nice to see a normal looking person featured on a show. It made Kate's Sharon Stone Does Star Trek tin foil dress look even more ridiculous. It was especially ironic that this vital woman, of generous proportions--and therefore, so in need of Kate's help--, was able to make the oh-so-thin Kate look even faker, shallower and more vapid than usual.
As far as her Tweet about the chalkboard--I guess just putting it out into the universe and having it show up at her PO box just isn't working the way it used to. I see it as yet another sign that her days in the spotlight are numbered.
I hope Kate reads the comments on the Yahoo article. One person said "Anyone OVER 40 is going to have a hard time dating." Hahahahahahaha. Time for a little more botox I guess.
I hope the CC bosses watched Dr D...they would see what Kate is lacking when the extreme couponer was speaking and maybe tell Kate to pull up her sox! Her contributions thus far are pathetic- can't be helping their business.
I see Kate is grifting again. As someone here said and I was thinking the same: Kate make a chalk board. Poor dog got dirty: off to the groomers. Want to save money Kate wash him yourself. Your home all day.
I just read a curious article: from the Washington Post online, dated: 2/23/2012 @ 4:35pm, that: Kate was spotted, last night at Whole Foods in Rockville, MD. Now I looked up that Whole Foods store and it was closed, cause it had moved to a larger place across the street. Kate was in her sportcar. Kate visiting purseboy? or TLC? http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/reliable-source/post/hey-isnt-that----kate-gosselin-stephen-beyer-and-jim-lehrer/2012/02/23/gIQAf9YMWR_blog.html Since there is no pics, it does say reliable source? this could be a fan of hers being an asshole, and trying to stir up shit, is Kate PR starting shit? or this did happen? Kate could have tweeted, from anywhere?
She's on my Yahoo page and there's at least 4000 comments...all negative. I wonder if this is what's keeping her relavent. We can't seem to stop talking about her...she's such an easy target. Although she doesn't care if what is said about her is bad or good..as long as she's talked about
Beth Carson, the actual author of the first book. Not just Beth either, but her daughter(s) were friends of Mady and Cara. More people ripped out of their lives.
• Kate Gosselin filling a shopping cart with produce at the Rockville Whole Foods Wednesday evening. Platinum hair, tight gray-and-cream striped dress, flat shoes, tan as usual. ID confirmed by the Winnie the Pooh tattoo on her ankle. The Pennsylvania mom of eight and former reality star wasn’t approached by many fans, though a few gawking shoppers circled from a respectful distance. Loaded up her bags into a sportscar. May have been headed back home from a recent L.A. talk-show taping; both her bodyguard and her former network, TLC, are based in the Maryland suburbs.

Reliable Source is just the name of a mini gossip section in the Style section of the Washington Post. They've gotten it wrong before and will again, but they are just fun primarily.
I can't believe those in charge of the special needs camp in Missouri invited Kate to be a speaker. I guess twitter will be nauseating with Kate gushing about the camp, and the sheeple in absolute awe that Kate is devoting herself to such a cause.
Georgia Peach said... 64 63 Someone with a Twitter feed should make sure that Cindy Cardella (sp?) knows about the reaction to the Yahoo article. &&&&&&&&&&
Cindy is a grownup and a professional.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Not professional enough to have researched Kate's demographics before trying to sell a cruise with her.
When Kate is in HER controlled surroundings, she is loud, abrasive, bossy, demanding... When Kate is in someone else's comfort zone, she is demure, soft-spoken, passive.
To me it's almost like she is scared someone is FINALLY going to ask her a REAL question, so she starts the poor little girl body language. Or, she might just be afraid someone wants to bitch slap her. :)
Reliable Source also wouldn't print it unless they had something real, such as a photo of her shopping sent to them. Or someone they already know/trust told them. It could have been Skeeve sending the pic though, or her manager/publicist.
Guys: I think it's fake: cause as I said I looked that Whole Foods up and it moved across the street into another town. Oh read that Baby Colors at her blog: It was another IIII, ME, Me, I AM LONELY! fest. Kate could not talk about the kids, with throwing in about being lonely. Kate you spoiled the kids talk. Greedy bitch!
Golly, Kate's chugging toward 6,000 mostly negative comments about her on only one article. SIX THOUSAND. The top poster has over 4000 'likes' and almost 400 replies so far. Yowza.
Isn't Missouri where uber-fan theaustinmartin wanted to have a get together with sheeple and Kate. Did he give up ... Or perhaps Kate's simply ignoring him now?
Sadly, Kate will never follow this idea, one which I try to apply to every second of my day. " In seeking happiness for others, you will find it for yourself". (unknown)
And on a lighter note, this one:
"You will spend ALL your money on your kid one way or another...either through athletics, music, academics....Or, getting them out of jail. Take your pick," (I made this up,lol) :) blessings to all.
The article rang false for me...when would Kate wear a skin tight dress with FLATS, always TAN?
---------
She always wears skin tight clothes and is tan 365. Flats? She didn't think she'd be seen by the paps? She could have been meeting withnTLC or having an afternoon delight with Steve.
If Kate had been shopping last night in Maryland, it could explain why she was still up at midnight tweeting the worshippers. She probably got home very late.

What? Don't tell me Kate is going to start promoting online dating now.
Not professional enough to answer a sheeple's repeated questions about the charity. Not professional enough to spell out what shore excursions will include Kate and what passengers are expected to pay for on their own. Not professional enough to tell fans exactly what gratuities are included. Not professional enough to detail what taxes and fees are included (and what isn't). Not professional enough to inform fans exactly what refunds are offered if Kate cancels or the minimum number of cabins needed to be sold in order for the cruise to happen. Not professional enough to distinguish between an "emergency" cancellation by Kate and an "out of Alice Travel's control" cancellation.
Professional? The way this thing is put together is sketchy and hardly the work of any professional agency.
Was reading something tonight that said "my sentiments exactly" and thought what? That's not right. I'm so used to seeing "sediments" used here that I've forgotten how to spell it correctly.
There have been several potential suitors tweeting her lately, but why does she attract either the very effeminate-looking thin chaps with partial comb-overs, or the beer-belly, bald, one-tooth wonders who would barrel up the driveway in a pick-up truck with duct tape holding the doors together?
O/T Anderson Cooper is having the Duggers on his show tomorrow. Just saw a clip, he's asking the questions we have been discussing on a previous thread. About friggin' time someone asks them why they have so many, and is it fair the older girls have to take care of the. Should be interesting.
You can cancel a cruise with no (or little) penalty until you get to 90 days before sailing. After 90 days you start to forfeit some of your money and as it gets closer, you lose ALL of it. There's no way Alice Travel will make an announcement before the 90 day window.
Yahoo's page on Kart & Dr Drool has 6,477 comments now. Haven't read them all, obviously, but l would say 99.999999% are NEGATIVE! Hahaha, where's the fork....
Beth Carson, the actual author of the first book. Not just Beth either, but her daughter(s) were friends of Mady and Cara. More people ripped out of their lives.
Although I've heard this story before, it was painful to read. How disappointed Beth must have been that Kate not only took PARTIAL credit for the book--but all of it! That Kate would dare to call herself "a best-selling author."
I've never seen any episodes with Beth Carson, but everyone always describes her as classy. She sounds so proud of her achievement here, overcoming her self-doubt to write a BEST SELLER. There's nothing easy about pulling a book together. Beth did it. It was HER accomplishment. Kate Gosselin is one disgraceful, ungrateful piece of work.

I am wondering if they didn't edit out of lot of the Dr. Drew interview and it whittled down to 15 minutes, whereas there was very little editing to do with the real coupon lady and they were thereby able to make up the difference in time with her. That bitterness may have reared its ugly head and they decided not to show it in its entirety.
Also up a ways about the flats - written in such a way to relay that the flats were always tan. I think it was an editing snafu and meant to be read as she is always tan. KT in flats during a potential photo op?
Haven't seen her in flats since she came clomping across the floor in heels, heavily made up, fully coiffed and styled, after supposedly driving back from the Bald Head vacation to turn her nose up at the new kitchen. If I am not mistaken that the was the debut of KT in heels although she would have us to believe that she has never gone without heels in her entire life.
yes! My very favorite and most recent 'I Just Want You to Know' can get it here: zondervan.com/Cultures/en....
************************************************
If Kate is so savvy at saving money, why then is she sending that unsuspecting fan to Zondervan to spend $22.95?
============
Because she probably receives a royalty of about $2.30 when it sells new (depending on how her deal was structured.) Used...she receives nothing.
Yes, she would rather her sheeple drop the $23 rather than $1 at the Dollar Store so that she gets her few bucks and change. And every sale at Zondervan makes her look better (as she perceives it) to her publisher...toward her possibly getting a future deal with them.
Reading the comments at Yahoo, it seems like the men are all saying about the same thing - that the kids aren't what would scare them off it's her because of her treatment of Jon.
It's coming back to bite her now. I hope Nanny Steve gets stuck with her for the rest of his life.
Kate thinks she's just helping herself by trashing Jon, by making her look like the good guy. The ironic thing is she may just be DESTROYING any hope at a future relationship with a good guy.
Good guys aren't stupid. Anyone with half a brain would assume that if the relationship doesn't work out, as not all relationships do, guess who will be next for Kate to trash for the next three years?
In making it her life's work to trash Jon, the person hurt the most by it will be herself. NO ONE will ever want to be with her again, no one who is a good catch anyway. Congrats Kate. Karma finally came around.
P.S. on Kate's books... If she were really smart, she'd go into Dollar Tree in dark glasses, scarf around her head (60's starlet style, incognito) and buy up the copies. Then the sheeple could order them--signed!--from Kate for $20 plus shipping. She'd make $19, not $2.30. Get to it, Kate! Maybe Barb or Milo will even do the shipping work for you for FREE.
@SFarrellDesigns a little store somewhere in Vegas :)
+++++++++++++++++++++
She's talking about the foil dress. Someone asked her after The Grove interview where she got it, and she said she didn't know. Now all of a sudden she remembers?
Ex Nurse - that is so funny! We are not that clever here. He was coming out of blanket while yawning. Even though he is a holy terror, I would never desecrate the poor dog with a Kate wig! He has enough issues!
I forgot to mention earlier to you and Moose and Tamara - I am a weirdo magnet. That's what I refer to myself as and a lot of my friends agree. There's a penalty for trying to be nice sometimes.
Kate's a weirdo magnet too, for different reasons.
I'm still not completely sure how I feel about Beth. Didn't she see the same stuff Jodi and Kevin mentioned when they spoke at the Murt thing? She disappeared for a reason. And while you may say not speaking out is classy, I say not speaking out about child exploitation and abuse is wrong. Did she sign a secrecy contract?
Tamara, a lot of us felt that way about Beth, that she should have joined with Beth and Kevin. If more people in Kate's life banded together it might not look so he said she said.
In addition to sending the camp the grift list, I just might send them a copy of J&Ks late 2008 speaking schedule, where they did at least two engagements in which they continued to claim to still need to pay for college and collected love offerings WHILE THEY WERE CURRENTLY IN ESCROW FOR A 1.2MILLION DOLLAR ESTATE!!! _______________________________________
Why would anyone feel to compelled to interfere with an event that helps to fund camps for severely handicapped and terminal children? What, exactly is the purpose? Clearly, Kate's career is circling the drain. Like it or not, she has a story to tell--and yes, it involves her children. She is not pulling them out of school and at least the prisoners will get some time away from the warden.
Her career is clearly in reverse--this is how she started, and there is a symmetry that this is where it will end. Most likely, she will be paid some kind of speaker's fee and traveling fees--to Missouri, not Hollywood or Poland or anywhere else that is on her bucket list. She won't be attending a Vanity Fair pre-Oscar show, for god's sake ! She will get pumped up with adoration and maybe she will come home and be nice to her kids. She is not getting an award--she is a featured speaker.
Clearly, she will never be the parent those kids deserved. Posting the grift list on Dr. Drew's website is, in my opinion, fair game--PRICELESS! Sending it to this nice little charity that helps disabled children--definitely crosses a line for me. Who cares about the loverz/haterz--this is a $75.00/ticket event, for, I repeat, disabled and terminally ill children.
Note: I have verified, for myself that this is a legitimate charity. Anyone can look at the 2010 filed non-profit tax return at guidestar.com. It is free to join and all filed non-profit returns can be viewed. Anyone who cares to can do the same. What tells me that this is legitimate is the very reasonable $40,000 range salaries that 2 board members receive. This is compared to $250,000 plus incentives that charities like the Red Cross and Susan B Komen pay out to some board members.
xxx @ang_darling_ @Kateplusmy8 You have to be at least 18 to go on the cruise
&&&&&&&
That's not correct. According to RC policy:
No Guest younger than the age twenty-one (21) will be assigned to a stateroom unless accompanied in the same stateroom by an adult twenty-one (21) years old or older. A guest's age is established upon the first date of sailing.
Has Alice Travel thought to state this on their details page?
And while you may say not speaking out is classy, I say not speaking out about child exploitation and abuse is wrong. Did she sign a secrecy contract? ==== My guess is that she did have to sign a non disclosure along with a lot of others so I wouldn't single her out. You have to ask where was the crew, nannies, etc at the hearing? Kevin and Jodie appeared to go to battle on their own in that respect.
Ex-Nurse, if Kate is featured, this charity is paying her. They should know what they are buying. There's no excuse for supplying this gritted with ANY funds, especially when there are so many far worthier mothers.
Salaries are not the only measure of responsible spending by a charity. I could tell you stories that would curl your hair.
These charity events often result in very little return for the organization after expenses are paid. Even if Kate only receives airfare, lodging and food, how far do you think that $75 per ticket is going to go, once the venue and event fees are added in?
Not that I believe that Kate and her constant companion are receiving only expenses. She's collecting some kind of additional fee, because that's what she does.
enabling grifters is wrong said... 125 Salaries are not the only measure of responsible spending by a charity. I could tell you stories that would curl your hair. 0000000000000000000
So have I --that's why I always check out the filed returns. I didn't mean that was the only measure--it is the first thing I look at. Sorry I wasn't more specific. I stand by my other statements-I was clear that this is my opinion.
I'm not really interested in trying to sabotage the St. Louis event, however I don't disagree that a legitimate charity has a responsibility to properly research their guest speakers and be aware of how polarizing they are. If they found someone else they might just make more sales.
It is downright laughable giving her this Mommy award and absolute proof no one did their homework.
Kate Gosselin@Kateplusmy8 @SharTheMomBear @Babylove2004 @chettysaz I do my pre run yoga-- it's stretches 2do b4 a run. It's amazing& she instructs u2 pause&go run _______________ I don't know if this was addressed today on this site, but yesterday Kate said on twitter that she didn't stretch before running. Lots of people rightfully blasted her on being wrong and giving incorrect info that could hurt runners.
Well, Kate writes the above tweet today. She not only uses improper grammar (it's stretches) but tweets that she does "pre-yoga" before running. She doesn't apologize or acknowledge that she gave out wrong info yesterday about not stretching before runs. She just lies she has been doing pre-yoga stretches the entire time. And to think that Kate wants to instruct people in running.
I will also take this opportunity to say that I unfairly jumped to conclusions about Jon, last month. As you said, my distrust has to do with my personal and professional experience. He is living evidence that people CAN change--too bad that Kate doesn't take a page out of his book.
Wasn't it somebody here who guessed she got it in some tacky boutique in Vegas? You were right on the money.
I was so right about that! But to be fair, I was not alone in sussing that out. Bet her twitter address is wrong, as usual, too lazy to even look it up.
I always stretched before workouts. Then who should pop up on AOL but Julian Michaels saying don't stretch BEFORe a workout stretch after. Here is the article:
There is apparently debate about when or even if to stretch, who knew. But of course Kate not stretching as nothing to do about her educating herself about good exercise habits. It's just her own ignorance.
Admin said: I don't disagree that a legitimate charity has a responsibility to properly research their guest speakers and be aware of how polarizing they are. If they found someone else they might just make more sales.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I agree with that. Remember how viewers e-mailed Pastor Yashihara, trying to tell him that Kate was polarizing and not the wisest choice to have as a Christian speaker? He got very testy and said the non-fans were basically full of it.
Curtesy of Merette at Preesi blog: Taken from Yahoo's home page about Kart on Dr Drool and comments: < Doesn't sound right, but here it is....
was going through all the comments on Yahoo & came across this one. I hope more & more people who had to suffer from Kate's so called "Brand" comes out & Bust the Bitch.
Cole • New York, New York • Haha it's great to see everyone sees her for who she really is. I never watched the show; I refused to, because my mother was one of Kate's primary nurses while she was having all her children at Hershey Medical Center. My mom is about as sweet and good of a person as they come, and she told me it was unbelievable how horrible Kate treated all the medical staff, treating them like literal slaves and actually screaming at and belittling them (same way toward her husband) on a daily basis. Saw this article, and was ready to be frustrated at people unknowingly buying into the innocent card Kate is playing here. Very glad to see no one is. She truly is a nasty, ugly person.
I am quite sure that the charity is now fully aware of Kate's actions and fully capable of making an informed decision.
I have advocated for disabled children and I have a very dear friend that has a severely disabled 7 year old son. Together, they face insurmountable obstacles every minute of every day. So, as sick as Kate makes me, I love this little boy an his brave mom more. If children like him can benefit from her participation, I come down on the side of the charity. Just this once. I can't even think of any other scenario in which this would be the case.
Realitytvkids.com (Administrator) said... 53 What am I missing here? Kate won't let him leave his car at her house for a few days? That's too much for her? ___________________________________
That's EXACTLY IT. kart wouldn't let him onto the property. Remember the time the kids were screaming for him not to make them go back? She made thim park OUTSIDE the gate.
He always had to park outside the gate, and couldn't park his car on the property. Couldn't park it on the road either as the road is narrow and on a curve.
She hates him. HATES him because he stopped the show (in her warped mind) and took away her dreams of stardom, fame and fortune.... so there was no way in hell she would let him drive up the driveway, park his car on the property and make the transition easy for the kids.

__________________
In what ways can disabled children benefit from her participation if she's so disliked (as evidenced by the comments following her Drew appearance)? Why not have a speaker who they know will be well received and appreciated? If the ones running this are sheeple and drinking the Kool-Aid, then it's doubtful that they are aware of her reputation, or if they are, they choose to ignore it.
Another Iwana has surfaced on Twitter. This one just wants her to call him. He looks to be very young, naive, and not really playing with a full deck.
Boy I'm on a rant about this - have always wondered why the lazy diva couldn't drive the kids TO him.
Is there some rule in a divorce that the dad ALWAYS has to pick-up and deliver the kids??????
YOu know, some nights I read here and shake my head. But this issue just chaps my ass.
Does she ever take them to him?
Frankly, I feel so very sorry for the man. I've always wondered if he wasn't such a passive personality if he wouldn't have hauled off and smacked her, or at least yelled back and insisted on his own way.
She does seem to back down at times.... ok, I guess I've only seen that once or twice.
**As for the smacking comment - NO, I ABHOR physical violence. Please don't lets go down that road.
I guess my point was that Jon had remarkable self control. Although............ I bet she never would have married someone she couldn't dominate/emasculate/intimidate.... poor JOn.
Ay...... I guess I came back too soon. She still gets on my last nerve.... sigh.
I will bet money that the charity won't benefit because of kart's demands for first class airfare for her and purseboy, hotels, dinners, etc.
Remember the charity fiasco in Australia? It seems by some reports that her auction dinner may have made only $1200 and it was bought by zoo employees.
If a charity has to pay $$$ to get speakers, that is money that is NOT going to the charity works and the kids.
And I bet money there is no way in hell kart will travel alone and on her own dime.
Geez, they could have gotten Michelle Duggar - she's close, would have driven and carries a LOT of weight with church goers, even of different religions because she lives her faith.
Kate's twitter from top of the blog: @KDMessano oh that is beautiful! I just thought of that idea- so kids don't have 2 ask alllll week 'what's for dinner?' ;)
She wants the chalk board so she doesn't have to be bothered talking to her children about dinner plans. So sad.
She hates him. HATES him because he stopped the show (in her warped mind) and took away her dreams of stardom, fame and fortune.... so there was no way in hell she would let him drive up the driveway, park his car on the property and make the transition easy for the kids.
Nope. Not her..........
&&&&&
In short, she hates Jon more than she loves her kids. Three years later she still hates him. The whole thing is tragic. And yes pick up and drop offs are usually written into the family law order. In CA there is a section to specify it. It prevents a lot of fights to decide upfront. I'm sure Kate insisted Jon pick up and drop off.
Ex Nurse I think all of us have a heart for disabled children but the problem is I think it's a very real concern people WON'T come because they don't want to support what Kate has done to her OWN kids. What is the good in saving some kids if you're supporting someone who exploits others? They might do better to scrap her and invite someone less polarizing. Perhaps even a celeb who has a child with special needs--Jenni McCartney, or Collin Ferrell for example. No one wants to take money away from disabled children just because they don't like Kate.
What is the good in saving some kids if you're supporting someone who exploits others?
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Has your stance changed here, Admin.? In the past you discouraged people from trying to get Kate fired from paying gigs. Said she needed to earn a living somehow for her kids. I believe you didn't even want talk of informing her future employer(s) of her dastardly deeds on your blog. What changed? This whole blog is now mostly about trying to 'take down' Kate everywhere and anywhere or trying to figure out who this Milo twitter person is. Could it be everything that could be said about Kate has been said about Kate? Over and over and over. Has this blog run its' course? Maybe it's time to let go of this bitch. IMO, it's only serving to keep people talking about Kate when there really is nothing left to be said. JMO but I would like an answer as to why the blog's stance has changed so much.
Clear Head addressed Admin. in post#148: You discouraged people from trying to get Kate fired from paying gigs. Said she needed to earn a living somehow for her kids. And CH also wrote: Could it be everything that could be said about Kate has been said about Kate? Over and over and over. Has this blog run its' course?
____________________ I know Admin. can defend herself but this is my opinion. Clear Head you think this "gig" is making a living for her family. I highly doubt the gig is paying Kate any money except flight/room costs/food. Kate agreed likely to go because she loves the attention, speaking about herself and the media articles that may write about this. Also it is an excuse to travel and be away from her kids.
And if you think this blog as run it course, then please don't come here.
I will not watch the Dr. Drew interview, but if she were truly turning on the tears it's because Steve is about ready to jump ship. I think he has come to the conclusion that she is going nowhere.
I am sick her retweets of anyone who demands an update show. TLC has written her off. No one cares. In fact, by tweeting and blogging about the kids, she is underminding herself. No need for a show. Idiot.
She is doing a charity gig ONLY because that's all she can get. No money really, but it's all about PUBLICITY. She wants to remain relevant. Again, Steve must be pondering his situation. It is so laughable that she needs him to escort her everywhere on these types of trips.
I believe the upthread posting about the nurse who tended Kate in the hospital. This is not the first time someone in labor and delivery has commented how mean and nasty she was. This makes me scratch my head as to why she even became a nurse. It takes a patient person to be a nurse. I think it was all about nabbing a doctor. Again, she is manipulative. That's why I believe now that she set out to steal Steve. And we know she manipulated Jon into the 6 pack.
I also believe she unloaded the old BBB on Jon and is making it appear that she is so generous and gave it to him. The real reason....she wanted a new vehicle and does not want Jon driving it. Besides, Jon is not allowed on the property and he did have to be dropped off and picked up when it was his turn with the kids. She's not fooling anyone. I hope Jon reads here.
Ex-Nurse, you mention above that the charity (Camp Barnabas?) pays two board members around $40K. Are you sure those aren't admin salaries? Because if what sounds like a fairly small, local charity can afford to pay board members anything at all, then it has to be a pretty big operation. Not Red Cross big, but still quite substantial.
I tend to disagree about Jon and not allowing the kids to be filmed for specials. We all know that he wouldn't allow it but I think it was TLC that didn't want to film Kate for specials, not Jon. I distinctly remember Kate tweeted to a fan a couple of weeks ago that she wants to do an update show, but not with TLC, perhaps another network. Also, she just re-tweeted to TLC about doing an update show. Hence, I really believe it was TLC that doesn't want to film her for specials. She is just too much for them to handle. Look at the Roloffs, how many specials have they had so far? Now look at poor widdle Kate, NOTHING!
If this Mizzo charity wanted a mulitiples mom they could have gotten Betty Hayes, who actually HAS a disabled child. And had a tv show, and isn't a complete selfish bitch!
Clear Head @148....If you have to say "I'm no sheeple, shit stirrer, or troll." you probably are. As was said in Hamlet "The lady doth protest too much, methinks". When you continue to insist that you are not a sheeple, shit stirrer, or troll we begin to suspect the opposite. Go somewehre else if you think this blog has run its course. I enjoy this blog and most of the people on it.
Tamara said... 155 If this Mizzo charity wanted a mulitiples mom they could have gotten Betty Hayes, who actually HAS a disabled child. And had a tv show, and isn't a complete selfish bitch!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCELLENT IDEA! Maybe someone should suggest that to them.

#######
That's exactly the point. Not only will Kate and entourage chew up a huge amount of whatever this charity raises, but unwisely hiring such a polarizing figure is likely to affect their future fundraising negatively.
People like me simply won't give to charities, in the first place, who pay speakers outlandish fees at these events. A charity who hires someone who is the polar opposite (pun intended) of those the charity is claiming to help goes on my black list forever.
Kate whined about how imperfect her son was because he needed glasses. How do you think she would have treated a truly disabled child? A disabled "icky" son?
Kate's treatment of her healthy children is despicable, on a good day. I can't imagine how fast she would have dumped them if they'd required a tenth of the care seriously disabled children often do.
How does Kate's attitude toward her children compare to those of loving, dedicated mothers who struggle every day with seriously disabled children, without nannies, without household help, without an excess of funds?
This is not acceptable use of a nonprofit's funds, as far as I am concerned.
Someone fell for Kate's PR/agent's pitch and did not bother researching who she was. I want my own charitable contributions to go to organizations that are a whole lot more careful with their dollars.
So I think your emotional (and very caring) thought that "if children can benefit" is completely wrong.
I don't see how children will benefit at all from Kate's accepting money to appear at this event. They won't, and Kate's appearance is very likely to harm the charity's reputation for quite a while to come.
By the time Kate and co are paid, little will be left for the children, and the damage to the charity from this fiasco is likely to linger for a long while.
Our local news station presented an interesting Consumer Report last night on the money to be made using your social media score (didn't know we had one). Many celeberties make money and earn perks using various forms of social media. It looks like Kate is already fimilar with this. Check out the link http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=news/special_reports&id=8555474
I am glad to see her do the charity for the disabled kids. Maybe it will make her a kinder, gentler mom/person such as twitter APPEARS to have done. Maybe she will spend some time with the disabled kids and "inspire" them like she has done with some on twitter. Maybe she will see how fortunate she is that all of her kids are healthy, when she clearly was running the risk of that not being the case with HOMs.
I do, however, think she should have shared this with the tweeties that she now proclaims to "love," even on the first tweet. They can come and see her there and donate to the charity, as well without breaking the bank for the cruise.
It is just a sad commentary when someone has generated such a negative image that one has to question her motives for doing a charity for disabled kids.
There is hope for people to change? Maybe? Even though I am a die hard hater from a long time back I hope so for the 8 little lives whose future she holds in her hand.
It is pretty clear now that the days of fame and fortunate are numbered and few and I hope she sits herself down and maps out a reasonable plan for her to continue to provide for the kids as her first priority, and not so much in the vein of the lavish lifestyle she envisions for herself.
Welcome to real life, KT, the realest reality show of all time.
I haven't seen anyone mention this yet so I thought I would throw it out here. Regarding Kate's tweets when she is asking if anyone knows of marathons for C. to run or something to that effect; during her interview with Dr.Drew she tells him that Rod Dixon is the founder of KidsMarathon. Then she goes on to say that SHE wants to help him out with that because obesity in kids and moms is her passion as well. Instead of beating around the bush on twitter, why don't she just pick up the frickin' phone and contact Mr. Dixon regarding his help with C. and running and not cow sigh all over her dang twitter page about it. There are plenty of opportunities for her to sign C. up to run without letting the whole world know about it. But then she wouldn't be getting any attention from the story that C. takes after her in that she just loves to run. Get a clue, attention-ho, it's not about YOU! Also, on the KidsMarathon home page, there is a big blue DONATE button, wonder if Kate saw that or was distracted by the thoughts of how she could make money off of C. by trying to squirrel her into KidsMarathon as a Jr.Ambassador or some shit. Jeez, she makes my head hurt.
Clear Head, I don' think you are a shit stirrer so you don't need to keep saying you're not. Actually, I think you're a great example of how people CAN disagree without being a jerk. You disagreed yesterday and were mature about it, and wouldn't you know it, you got mature and respectful responses back.
I think you didn't read all my post where I said I didn't think Kate should be sabotaged. My opinion hasn't changed.
RT @Suzanne_5 @Kateplusmy8 I continue to find it amazing that Kate carries on alone as a strong and loving mother :o) AWW SWEET. THANKS! 17 minutes ago
Hence, I really believe it was TLC that doesn't want to film her for specials. She is just too much for them to handle. Look at the Roloffs, how many specials have they had so far? Now look at poor widdle Kate, NOTHING!
&&&
Or it could very well be TLC has no interest in trying to negotiate with Jon. The first time around he was the resident douchebag so from a PR standpoint it was okay to attack him. His stature in the public eye has changed. A lot of people see him now as the only one with the kids' best interests in mind. From a PR standpoint, no PR person would advise TLC to fight him again, it would look bad.
Between now and the Ozarks in May, almost nothing on her agenda, I'm betting - there will be a LOT of retweets, bad cookiing and even worse running 'advice'.
Maybe naive, true. I guess they are the same people who when they see some big time celeb on Oprah talking all about how she does everything all by herself and doesn't even have a nanny, they don't think to themselves, hmmm then who is with the kids then when Mommy is in Chicago with Oprah?
I am pretty sure that I would rather gnaw off my left big toe than to go hear her speak at that fundraiser in Missouri. What in the hell does she know about raising a disabled child, she was freaking whining about one of the boys needing glasses! Is she gonna teach them the art of grifting or what? She absolutely has no clue as to how lucky she is that her kids were born healthy. For her to be a guest speaker at that event is almost a joke and an insult to all of the truly AMAZING moms out there.
Re: having a disabled 'imperfect' child. Remember the epi where Kate took Leah & Collin to the eye Dr? She seemed more worried about the cosmetic look of Collin's droopy lid than the visual implications, although she weakly tried to make it seem so...Jon I recall had her number.
Viewer, I saw that too. That's why I am wondering what the heck she can offer those families out there that have disabled/challenged children. She cannot see past her own nose and there is no way that she can ever connect with what those parents and families go through every day. What a crock of crap those people are going to get by listening to her dribble about something that she has no idea of and is only there to put herself in the light, once again.
Pay: exactly! I agree w/ Tamara who thought Betty Hayes would be a muck better speaker, who has gone through the trials, tribulations and joys of a handicapped child. But maybe Betty is not 'into' speaking for money and displaying her family's privacy (past her show)
I think Kate would have made Collin undergo needless surgery at the tender age of 3 to make him 'look' perfect. Luckily the Dr was not advocating this. Kate was rather rude to him too iirc.
Here's the Radar blurb on Jon's recent comments: http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2012/02/jon-gosselin-single-dad-kate-ellen-ross
Jon is extremely positive and wow! what a difference from Kate's self-absorbed pity party. The kids are lucky to have him. He *is* the constant in their lives.
Jon's just a normal person while Kate is clearly not.
Not one single mention of Kate because you know, that relationship was over there years ago and he's not an obsessed parental alienator. He's just focused on the kids and on self-improvement for himself.
Can you imagine Kate ever saying she is working on HERSELF?
Maybe the reason she's doing this charity event is because that's all her PR person could get for her. We don't know how many organizations the PR person contacted to schedule Kate but was turned down over and over again. A small organization wouldn't necessarily have the staff to do research about a speaker and was grateful to land a celebrity at all. My opinion only.
Years ago I worked for a small for profit company that was approached by a manager of a small time celebrity who wanted to endorse the company's product. The president saw stars in his eyes, until I told him what the celebrity was "really" doing in her private life. Bottom line, the company did not hire her and today she is no longer in the tabs or anywhere.
"The odds are so against me - one mom and eight kids," she said. "I mean, I don't expect someone to come in and financially provide for my kids. I mean, they're mine, that's my job. So - just to have somebody there."
************************************************
Oh God. Cry me a river.
So gathering from that statement, Kate really doesn't care if her slave (I mean, man) doesn't contribute financially to her home. She just wants a man to sit quietly in the corner until she needs him.
P.S. it's funny how Kate has spent her entire life being a task master, and how she is using Twitter to manipulate her fans.
Knowing Kate's track record, why on God's green earth would anyone expect Kate to want anything other than a slave for a mate? Dr. Poo's interview was nothing but a "Help Wanted" infomercial.
I pity the fool that takes Kate on. She's going to RUIN him.
It's well known that Kate doesn't play well with others.
Well, Kate sure seems impressed with herself this morning, tweeting her "Google Trending" number. Jeepers, she beat out a pic of Whitney Houston in her coffin! I guess it's true that the only thing that matters to her is attention, even when it is overwhelmingly negative. She really is clueless when it comes to how a SuperMom should be promoting the image. As for her "work" with Rod Dixon and obese children/mothers, despite what she said on Dr. Drew, she seems not to have any kind of coordinated campaign on this issue. Her approach to this, as with all things, is just to throw out as much s--- as she can make up and see what sticks. Is she hoping for a "career" in this vein just to somehow evolve organically (pun intended)? If she had a brain, she'd be dangerous. But without one, she's just a transparent, superficial, annoying, self-obsessed famewhore who will do anything for a buck.
I wonder what happens tomorrow when her Google score returns to oblivion.
Could someone tell me why she's celebrating "trending"? Has she looked at WHY she trending? The most vile things are being said about her..OMG...she's got a screw lose..
RT @Suzanne_5 @Kateplusmy8 I continue to find it amazing that Kate carries on alone as a strong and loving mother :o) AWW SWEET. THANKS!
Yikes!! You are all right...any publicity,even negative, any sheeple praise, goes right to her empty head. I can't believe how this twitter woman could say such a thing...???
It's not so amazing, it's a situation many women find themselves in- my mother was widowed when my sister was 8 and I was 5- amazing, yes, just like the millions of other single mothers and Kate has an ex who helps plus a cushion of $$$ and grifts. no matter how much evidence against her as a supermom/woman, I am always amazed at the dumbos out there.
There doesn't appear to be a generous bone in Kate's body. If she doesn't get the attention, money, fame, credit, freebies, she doesn't do it! Surely, we all know that here. We will not be fooled by her again. Greedy grifter, was, is, and always will be. Jon saw the light; Kate never will get it.
RT @TheAustinMartin Dear @TLC,PLS DO A K+8UPDATE SHOW!WE R ANTICIPATING& PATIENTLY WAITING! RATINGS WILL B HIGH! @Kateplusmy8 WHO WANTS 1? _______________________________
Kate got more replies when she asked where she could get a chalk board. LOL!
Kate's trending because she's on Yahoo's page. Yuck. Why?? Well, I know why really. She gets hits and loads of comments which are overwhelmingly negative. No one is buying her BS. Someone in her camp needs to tell her to stop blaming her 8 kids for her not having a man. And I don't give a hoot how many kids you have. If you have more than 1, you are outnumbered! If you are a decent mother, you will parent any amount of kids. What are they going to do, form a junta, take over the compound and feed Kate worms? Still, she sees them as a group, not individuals. Also, she seems to think that they will grow to be horrible people. Why all the doom and gloom for the future? And for the love of everything holy, stop acting like Jon isn't in the picture. If there are behavioral problems in the future, CALL JON AND CO-PARENT WITH HIM. How anyone can fall for her poor, pitiful me act is amazing.
To follow up on my last post about Kate vs. 8 (Hey...I'd pay to watch that one!!)-- there is a distinct and real possibility that one or more of the kids will be living with Jon. Very possible.
Does anyone have any idea what kind of a game Milo is playing with Kate? I haven't been following this, and it sounds very strange. I know that she thinks her dog and Shoka have a relationship, but what is this all about? This person is looney tunes!
miloandjack @Kateplusmy8 I like 2keep U second guessing....roviing reporters

My sediments exactly. She's a moron...an "Oxy moron" at that.
@jems890 I find 'rain on the sunshine coast' to be an Oxy moron? Is it just me?? Lol! about 3 hours ago
"Says the 549th comment on a post from Wednesday. I'm going to go out on a limb and say NO."
LOL! Ain't that the truth.
I just can't fathom Kate giving anything away that she could make a buck on. I really think Jon's name was still on the BBB and she had no choice but to give it to him. He's too much of a gentleman to call her on it but I believe this is the real way it went down.
About giving Jon the BBB-- if it was Kate's, in her name, then at some point Jon agreed to give her that piece of property, perhaps in the divorce agreement. So, to set the record straight, Kate did not buy the damn thing and did not own it herself until Jon relinquished his half of it. JON gave Kate his half. She never owned it herself to begin with. Now, Kate has turned over what Jon partially owned to begin with, and was cooperative enough to hand over to her when Kate got primary custody. Gawd, isn't Kate magnanimous?
The van was owned by both of them. They shared it. Since Jon's name was on the title she couldnt sell it or trade it in unless Jon signed it over. Jon kept it.
In my opinion, Jon is a very mature person. I would want to shout my side of the story with all the gruesome details from the top of a media mountain. That he has been able to remain silent in the face of such provocation is testimony to his strength. I think he should be admired.
Her kids are soon going to eclipse her in mental age, if they have not done so already. Even youngsters recognize negative comments being directed at them, yet Kate stays positive because she is 'trending'! So, she receives thousands of comments, by far the majority of them negative, yet she remains upbeat and because she is trending! That sparkly dress is made of sequins and TEFLON.
This blog will be here until I am an old woman with all of us scratching our collective heads as to how she remained to stay 'famous'. It will come at the expense of broken relationships with her kids, never knowing who they were because of her incessant desire to stay in the spotlight. But let us all remember, she is doing it for her kids, and she will stick with that thinly veiled excuse until someone in the mainstream media has the balls to call her out on it.
"The van was owned by both of them. They shared it. Since Jon's name was on the title she couldnt sell it or trade it in unless Jon signed it over. Jon kept it"
That's what I thought yet she tells people she "gave" Jon the van. He's has probably been paying part of the insurance, maintenance, and registration fees since they split. Kate Gosselin gives NOTHING away for free. She really takes people for stupid. The van was probably negotiated in the divorce settlement and since he had no wat to transport the kids without it his name remained on it.
"In my opinion, Jon is a very mature person. I would want to shout my side of the story with all the gruesome details from the top of a media mountain. That he has been able to remain silent in the face of such provocation is testimony to his strength. I think he should be admired."
I agree Dmasy. If I were him I don't think I could have kept my mouth shut. I'm sure that Jon realizes bad mouthing Kate in public would only hurt his children. Too bad Kate doesn't get that. Jon really does have his kids best interest at heart. He always has.
I checked on Jon on ROL. He is getting hammered. I don't have an ROL ID or I would help him out. How could anybody in their right mind could watch that show and not see that he took care of those kids while KT sat and watched. That is the kind of man she wants - one that will let her sit on her plastic throne while he takes care of her kids. She will miss Jon one day if not already, I don't care what she says to the contrary.
834 sediments (sic) from readers:
«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 834 Newer› Newest»Kate can cry her crocodile tears, have celebrity TV interviewers hold her hand, have Steve follow her around, have her kids line up in birth order or in groups, drive an Audi, have multiple bank accounts, wear baby doll dresses, bleach her hair until it falls out, polish her nails, run 1,000 miles and cook "organic" recipes until the cows come home but at the end of the day Kate is still going to be Kate. Why? Because what's wrong with her, why she is "lonely" has nothing to do with the kids and I don't buy that garbage for a minute. It has to do with herself. How she represents herself, how she comes off to people around her, her attitude in life, her attitude towards her children.
I mean it's on tape. How can she say until people meet her they can't judge her or whatever when she's turned around and said it's the realest of reality shows out there? That one just...I can't wrap my mind around how she wants it both ways. Isn't going to happen.
Anon, google "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote.
Please.
What all did Barb Gilmer do for Kate?
I wonder if Kate gets paid for all the TLC reruns?
Also Curious,
Where did "I" say that "you" said the old van wasn't good enough for Kate? I know you didn't say that. I said it. You might want to re-read it all.
YOU said the children weren't suffering driving around in an old van. I said if (according to you) the children weren't suffering driving around in an old van that I guess Kate must have felt SHE was suffering driving around in an old van in order for HER to go out and by a brand new one. So did she buy a new van out of need or want?
As for my vacations with my family...
1) It's Disney World, not Disneyland. Get your facts straight.
2) I don't go crying poverty on TV, interviews and Twitter and claim I need to scrimp and save to support my children, and then go out and purchase two more expensive vehicles.
3) Feel free to discuss whatever you want about what I post as SchmeckyGirl. Most of you (Kate fans) do, anyway. Just don't be a hypocrite and say we can't discuss what Kate tweets and says if you want to discuss what I tweet or say.
4) You never answered mscatie: How does having the old van make Jon more accessible to his kids?
She's on my Yahoo page and there's at least 4000 comments...all negative. I wonder if this is what's keeping her relavent. We can't seem to stop talking about her...she's such an easy target. Although she doesn't care if what is said about her is bad or good..as long as she's talked about
Found a recap of that episode which explains who the man helping Jon is.
"We're introduced to Jeff, the kids' uncle and Kate's oldest sister Kendra's husband."
Tamara, I DO have a good sense of humor! I don't know what the term would be except creeptard, or maybe asshat or turdbucket, all among the more polite things I have called him. My sense of humor failed when he sent me something that said, "Men are either hungry or horny, and you know which one by whether they have a sandwich or a boner." An 87-year-old stalker saying this to a 47-year-old woman, whose husband wouldn't even send something like that. I said it was inappropriate and he said, "Maybe, but isn't it true?" I said again that it was inappropriate and he got all indignant......'rest assured I will never darken your e-mail doorstep again' and then he was back at it a week later. Kate is already getting the same thing from Milo. That twitter feed needs to be shut down. It serves no positive purpose AT ALL.
I too saw the Yahoo page and WOW, the public has spoken! I think this may be one of the last circles of the drain! Fingers crossed!
SG- I agree with everything you wrote.
I just wanted to address the one comment about how having the BBB made the kids more accessible for Jon.
Jon had to jump through hoops to pick up the kids when he didn't have the BBB. He had to arrange to be dropped off so he could pick up the van. The previous arrangement made this a 2-person job every time he was getting or dropping off his kids. Having the van in his possession will make the process MUCH easier for him.
I wasn't asking if Kate and Steve had requested info on who had signed up for the cruise. More so they could find out who they are on twitter, if they have any property/money, can they be squeezed for more? Oh, and to probably make fun of what they look like.
"If you think it's important, do it. Discussing it just gives the sheeple more ammunition against the haterz"
---
How would someone anonymously sending the grifter list to the camp give the sheeple ammunition? If they didn't know that it was done, or by whom, why would it cause a sheeple-hater war?
Oooooh, someone posted the link to that yahoo article and its 4000 negative comments on Dr. Drew's Lifechangers facebook page.
It's over Kate,
Yes. That is a possibility. However, Kate could have just let him pull into the driveway and leave his car where the van usually is.
I just don't see any good argument that Kate "gave" Jon the car to benefit anyone other than herself. Nor did she buy the new one to benefit anyone other than herself. Because, as I said, the kids are riding in the old one.
On who signed up for the cruise For Security Purposes she should have typed

What all did Barb Gilmer do for Kate?
###################################
Lol Daisy! Last summer the 6 fans starting asking Kate if they could send her copies of her books (all conveniently found at the Dollar Store now!) for her to autograph. She said she would, as long as they sent the correct amount of postage for her to send them back. She could not stress enough how CORRECT postage had to be enclosed or she could not send the book back. God for freakin' bid that Kate kick in .25 for a sheeple who was a little short.
I think Barb Gilmer was the first to do this and may have found Kate's address on the internet. After that, any time a sheeple wanted Kate's address to send their dusty bargain bin books, she always told them to email Barb Gilmer and get it from her. I always got the vibe Barb was not too thrilled with this.

Want to honor a mother? Camp Barnabas is honoring ten

Do you know a remarkable mother? Camp Barnabas is honoring mothers at their second annual Tapas and TopHats event.
Camp Barnabas, located at 901 Teas Trail 260 in Purdy, is honoring 10 mothers out of those who are nominated as "Remarkable Mothers of the Ozarks."
The camp is a Christian camp devoted to providing outdoor activities during the summer to children and adults with special needs and chronic illnesses, according Keri McKee, the development officer for the camp.
McKee said the event, on Friday, May 4, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Remington's Entertainment Complex, 1655 W. Republic Rd., Springfield, is a black-tie fundraiser where the tapas stations represent many different cultures. There is also a silent auction, a game and raffle.
The speaker at the event is Kate Gosselin, according a news release from the camp. Gosselin is a mother of eight who gained national attention with her reality show on TLC, "Jon & Kate Plus 8," with her then husband, Jon Gosselin. In addition to the show, which was later changed to "Kate Plus 8," she has appeared on ABC's "Dancing With The Stars," and wrote three books, "Multiple Blessings," "I Just Want to Know You," and "Eight Little Faces."
"We are ecstatic to have her," McKee said. "Her heart just went out to the camp after she found out what we do. She has a love for children and is an amazing mom."
McKee said last year hundreds of nominations came in and it was difficult for their committee to pick just 10 to be honored at the event.
"There are lots of amazing stories," she said. "We don't just accept nominations for moms who have special needs children, but some of our nominees last year had set out to adopt children with special needs and have provided them with a loving environment where they can thrive."
Tickets to the event are $75 and are available for purchase at www.campbarnabas.org/tapasandtophats.
Even if a nominated mother is not chosen to be honored that night, she is still recognized with a card.
"All mothers nominated will receive a Mother's Day card that says someone thinks they are remarkable," McKee said.
Nominations for remarkable mothers are accepted through March 30. To nominate a remarkable mother go to the Camp Barnabas website, www.campbarnabas.org/nominations.

Thanks, that's it, Jeff! Her brother-in-law. He can probably go onto the estranged list.
The clip I was looking for was Babies and Bedrooms and was several parts, including Collin's constipation while buying beds and then the moving into new rooms (I think) As I mentioned, the whole shows do not seem to be on YouTube, just these mini-clips. No great loss!

Thank's PJ's momma I can't wait to read this.
I don't know why an organization would pick Kate as a speaker considering she is such a controversial character now. It would not help their cause, even if the organizers were sheeple. Everyone I know who used to watch, like myself, now feels very anti-Kate and pro-Gosselin kids and considers her a poor role model as a mother and human being in general.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Well at least it's not Mother's Day weekend, Mother's day is late this year (13th) This organization is paying/grifting/leasing her something for being there. Kate is not showing up in MO out of the blackness of her dried up heart to be around disabled-ish people for free.
I also think that out of desperation, Kate might be sticking her Flintstone toe in the waters of the Christian chat circuit again. Complete with book about how she "lost her way" in her faith but came home again. Throwing up a little in my mouth just thinking about it.
In addition to sending the camp the grift list, I just might send them a copy of J&Ks late 2008 speaking schedule, where they did at least two engagements in which they continued to claim to still need to pay for college and collected love offerings WHILE THEY WERE CURRENTLY IN ESCROW FOR A 1.2MILLION DOLLAR ESTATE!!!

I wonder if Kate ever thinks of bringing Shoka on a walk or a run? Or the kids? Why have a dog then?
***************
I seem to remember that last summer Milo kept tweeting Kate that she should take Shoka with her when she runs. Kate made some lame excuse that she would have to train Shoka to run with and would start working on it at a future day. She has never mentioned running with Shoka since then.

@SuzeW718 @kateplusmy8 we are living in the age of broadcasting ourselves. She doesn't use her children, she shares them, and her ideas.

Are sheeple getting more stupid, or have they been this dumb all along, and only now are coming out of hibernation?
What is really frightening is that many of these women have children.

SG I also agree with everything that you wrote (I also enjoy your SchmeckyGirl posts on other sites).
PJ's Momma - I love your posts. Are a fan of Jen Lancaster's and Laurie Notaro's books?
The latest speculation is that Iwana is Milo...something to do with a picture of his pants and sneakers that were the same as the ones that Milo had on in a photo she/he tweeted.
Is there any logic to this? Don't know, just asking any of you who closely follow Twitter!
Kate is a Twit:
I feel very sorry for Shoka. Although he can run ( in the rain) around the property, dogs love human companionship. Although apparently Alexis greets him after school, the kids generally seem disinterested and were seen to be hitting him with wiffle bats etc. He is also at risk of being hit by a car or dognapped since he can escape from the yard, and is possibly left out all night....hope he enjoyed his grooming today. Icky boy! ;(
anon #28: Exactly. But don't let Kate see, lol.
Thanks NJGal51, but no, I've never heard of them. Maybe I need to check them out!
You know, I'm now wondering if this was a calculated move by Dr. Drew to speed up the drainage process. But the fact he had a real super couponer on right after Kate (apparently), sort of tells me 'no.'
Why doesn't anyone ever ask her what she's doing to gain employment to support her kids?
Ha! Even the Honey Boo Boo child from Toddlers and Tiaras got the FULL half hour on Dr. Drew's show that was aired today! Take that Khate! Oh- and how pathetic that it seems like Drew is only booking reality people lately! Anderson Cooper has had Madonna, Janet Jackson, Courteney Cox- along with reality people too.
Thank you NJGal. I haven't posted on any other blogs in a long time. I enjoyed debating with the non-fans on the fan blogs for a while, but they couldn't hack it. Debate that is. They preferred to turn it into personal attacks. It seems to be their MO. Apparently they can't defend Kate without making it personal, so I decided to moved. Except of course for the one blog (won't mention names) that asked me to leave because one of the co-bloggers couldn't take the mental and emotional strain of my posting there. lol.
I've always enjoyed reading and commenting here though. I subscribe to all the threads even when I can't comment.
*move on (not "moved")
Moose Mania, that made me laugh out loud! Oh my goodness, the asparagus he gave me - you could have burned it for heat, it was so thick and woody and beyond eating. My dog (PJ, the dachsund in my avatar) is horrible. HORRIBLE! Total psycho, but this guy loved his pictures, so I took him along for that trip and held him with this guy delightedly pet and patted him. And PJ just took it! He has lunged at my friends WHILE they were petting him but with this guy, he did nothing. When I put him back in the car, I said, "You little bastard, that is the one who were supposed to bite!" I stopped for a drivein coffee and they started to pass a biscuit out and I told them to keep it, he didn't deserve it. Stupid dog.
But this was all my own fault, for letting it continue wayyyyyy past when it felt wrong.

Oh, who am I kidding. Katie Irene only cares when SHE saves money.
Silly mediocre fans.
Kate is asking about the very detailed chalkboard only because she wants one or more of her dense fans to buy her one. It's her grifting style and this shameful habitual seedy practice of hers seems to be escalating lately. Stay tuned...for more cringeworthy grifting to come.

Excellent post. Explains a lot.
I am sure she was livid after they told her about the RV trip, and they decided to show the film of how she actually acted through many years of filming, as opposed to the sanitized version, with hours on filming on the floor.
I guess this was TLC's FU to her after they dealt with her insanity for years, and she went ballistic at the meeting. She was more trouble than she was worth. I loved the RV show because everyone's real comments (Ashley, Jamie, filming crew, boat guy, and even Steve's comments finally made it to airing.) Let alone her irrational, angry, out of control behavior was finally shown for what she really is.
God help the kids.
Kate is a Twit: HAAHAHAH! That wrestling organization! That's how Octomom made some money and some minor headlines for a while (don't know that she's doing it anymore).
Kate won't do it but: a) I find it hilarious that these are the kinds of offers she's getting these days and b) if she did, I would WATCH. She'd get the stuffing beat out of her. Narcissists are often big talk, little walk and can only be menacing when dealing with people physically smaller (like children).
As for the chalkboard, girlfriend is GRIFTING. She does NOT want links online for where to buy it, like some of her sheeple have given her. She wants someone to just SEND her one.
Good luck paying your bills that way, Katie.
So she's going to Springfield, MO in early May. Nothing against Springfield, but I have to laugh here, too. It's a far cry from the red carpet, m'dear.
As for her being an "amazing mother," she IS!
She's:
amazingly cold
amazingly bitter
amazingly cruel
amazingly manipulative
amazingly shallow
amazingly insensitive
amazingly exploitative
amazingly greedy
amazingly arrogant
amazingly angry
amazingly dishonest
amazingly craven
amazingly lazy
amazingly careless
amazingly impatient
amazingly rude
amazingly inflexible
amazingly intolerant
amazingly materialistic
amazingly narrow-minded
amazingly critical
amazingly parsimonious
amazingly tactless
amazingly vain
See? She's an AMAZING MOM!

Is Google too difficult for Kate to understand. First she asked if anyone knew about any kids' triatholons, and now she's asking about a chalk board? Surprised she didn't ask them to make sure she could use a coupon to purchase it.
--------------
What Kate was really asking was "will anyone out there promote my kids in a triatholon or at least pay for any register/travel/athletic gear fee" and "will anyone please send me a few free resturant style chalkboards"
Pink Straight Jacket, I noticed that, too. Sending the tweeter to Zondervan? 22 bucks plus shipping?
Give me a break. I've seen that book for 25 cents at the Salvation Army store.
I saw an entire cart load of them at Half-Price Books. Usually when you see so many books brand new at that place, it means publishers overstock and no one can sell them. They were a buck each. They sat there and sat there and were there every time I went in the store (which is often, we read a lot in my house). Finally they just all disappeared. I'm sure they have some way to offload books that don't even sell at Half-Price Books. Recycling?
And I chuckled that the fan read the first two books in one day. She always seems surprised when people say that, but it's not exactly challenging reading from what I've seen.
On the weather topic: it's 82 degrees here in Dallas. Crazy.

There have been so many great lists/articles posted recently about Kate's behavior from the onset, grifting, lack of gratitude, anger, entitlement, lies, manipu lation, etc... that if you look at it in its totality, one would be hard pressed to support her, let alone admire her in any way.
Ugh! I just did a huge rant on Yahoo news where Dr. droll was interviewing her. She brings out the worst in me!! Out of over 4000 comments, the majority were so very negative, saying the same things we all say here, and on the other not-a-fan sites. She is no longer able to cry her way into anyone's heart-time is over with, go away already!

PJ, I was just referring to what you said that your friends had teased you a little about attracting much older men. That's why I was asking what is the opposite of a cougar or craddlerobber, ie someone who goes for much older guys instead of much younger.

The previous arrangement made this a 2-person job every time he was getting or dropping off his kids. Having the van in his possession will make the process MUCH easier for him.
******************
Exactly.
SG, this person answered the question as I would have so please refrain from asking me again to answer it. Thank you.
Not sure it has to be this complicated. Why does Jon need a friend to help at all? Why doesn't he drive his mediocre car up to Kate's, grab the BBB and get them, then when the weekend is over drive back, drop then off and get back into his mediocre car? What am I missing here? Kate won't let him leave his car at her house for a few days? That's too much for her?
Tamara, if you can think of a term for attracting nearly-dead-but-still-very-creepy men, please share! And thanks for the giggles.
Maybe Kate tweeted about the chalkboard to give her tweeties something to keep them occupied while she's away from twitter. It's almost like giving a child a keep busy project, so that they won't bother her or notice she is not paying attention to them. They're still researching and sending links-and they say the haters have no life.
Wonder if she'll be tweeting during Mady's Alice in Wonderland performance.
Also Curious,
Okay, great. Thanks. So then you can read my response above to her as my response to you.
Still doesn't add up to me.

And then Kate conveniently replies that yes, there is another one and it's available at Zondervan.
The sheeple can use Google, I just know it. They do not need to ask her how many books she wrote (actually...none.. lol) and how to get them. I bet Kate is tweeting herself on a shill twatter account, trying to make it look like the fans are clamoring for more books. Is Zondervan on twitter? That would be the icing on the scam if she's including them in her replies.
Again, what part of her desperate, pathetic, phony and irrelevant life are we supposed to be jellus of?
Yes, Admin. Exactly my point. But Kate will not allow Jon to pick up the children in THEIR driveway or leave his car where the van is usually parked.
Curious and Also Curious seem to keep missing the main concerns about the new van. Why a new van if the old one is supposedly runming well enough for the kids to be driven in it? Why isn't the old van good enough for Kate if it's good enough for the kids the drive around in? Why spend their hard earned money on a new van for Kate? Nevermind the Audi.
Admin-
the fact is that Kate would not allow Jon to leave his car on her property. She wouldn't even allow him past the gate. That's the truth.
I see People had to post an online poor Kate "I'm lonely" article!
I'm loving the few comments about it and her around twitter, mainly "cry me a river", lol...

I totally agree. She has no one else left. Her agent is trying to make money off of her, and have not done that great of a job, other than maybe calling in a few favors. But that is going to end soon.
The uber fans keep saying Kate's a Celebrity. Her shows off TV and no one will ever give her another show. They also say Kate's still popular they need to read the 4 thousand comments against Kate.
Someone with a Twitter feed should make sure that Cindy Cardella (sp?) knows about the reaction to the Yahoo article.

By jove, I think you just hit the nail on the head.... A scammer is not that hard to recognize. And Kate is the ultimate scammer- through whatever means necessary.
Seriously, I think she is getting insanely desperate, with some of her illicit practices. Never mind purchasing Twitter fans.

Kate can cry her crocodile tears, have celebrity TV interviewers hold her hand, have Steve follow her around, have her kids line up in birth order or in groups, drive an Audi, have multiple bank accounts, wear baby doll dresses, bleach her hair until it falls out, polish her nails, run 1,000 miles and cook "organic" recipes until the cows come home but at the end of the day Kate is still going to be Kate.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The extreme couponer that was on Lifechangers after Kate was so refreshing. She had so much excitement and enthusiasm that she completely upstaged Barbie--I mean, Kate. I don't really care about the subject, but it was nice to see a normal looking person featured on a show. It made Kate's Sharon Stone Does Star Trek tin foil dress look even more ridiculous. It was especially ironic that this vital woman, of generous proportions--and therefore, so in need of Kate's help--, was able to make the oh-so-thin Kate look even faker, shallower and more vapid than usual.
As far as her Tweet about the chalkboard--I guess just putting it out into the universe and having it show up at her PO box just isn't working the way it used to. I see it as yet another sign that her days in the spotlight are numbered.
I hope Kate reads the comments on the Yahoo article. One person said "Anyone OVER 40 is going to have a hard time dating." Hahahahahahaha. Time for a little more botox I guess.
Seems like a lotta problems would be solved if Kate woul stop acting like she's 12 and her best friend slighted her. What am I saying.
Kate looks way older than 36.
Kate could stand on a street corner crying. With a sing that say's I have 8 kids count them 8. And I need money and freebies.
I hope the CC bosses watched Dr D...they would see what Kate is lacking when the extreme couponer was speaking and maybe tell Kate to pull up her sox!
Her contributions thus far are pathetic- can't be helping their business.
I see Kate is grifting again. As someone here said and I was thinking the same: Kate make a chalk board. Poor dog got dirty: off to the groomers. Want to save money Kate wash him yourself. Your home all day.
I just read a curious article: from the Washington Post online, dated: 2/23/2012 @ 4:35pm, that: Kate was spotted, last night at Whole Foods in Rockville, MD. Now I looked up that Whole Foods store and it was closed, cause it had moved to a larger place across the street. Kate was in her sportcar. Kate visiting purseboy? or TLC?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/reliable-source/post/hey-isnt-that----kate-gosselin-stephen-beyer-and-jim-lehrer/2012/02/23/gIQAf9YMWR_blog.html
Since there is no pics, it does say reliable source? this could be a fan of hers being an asshole, and trying to stir up shit, is Kate PR starting shit? or this did happen? Kate could have tweeted, from anywhere?
Anyone?

Reliable Source is just the name of a mini gossip section in the Style section of the Washington Post. They've gotten it wrong before and will again, but they are just fun primarily.
Anyone seen this caricature of Katie Irene?Accurately drawn by a talented artist named Michael Wyatt.

I can't believe those in charge of the special needs camp in Missouri invited Kate to be a speaker. I guess twitter will be nauseating with Kate gushing about the camp, and the sheeple in absolute awe that Kate is devoting herself to such a cause.

Not professional enough to have researched Kate's demographics before trying to sell a cruise with her.
My thoughts on Kate and interviews:
When Kate is in HER controlled surroundings, she is loud, abrasive, bossy, demanding...
When Kate is in someone else's comfort zone, she is demure, soft-spoken, passive.
To me it's almost like she is scared someone is FINALLY going to ask her a REAL question, so she starts the poor little girl body language. Or, she might just be afraid someone wants to bitch slap her.
:)
Someone who uses two 11 year olds to sell a cruise and line their pockets is hardly professional. Or really, a grownup.
Rockville Whole Foods? Is that anywhere near Steveo???
Reliable Source also wouldn't print it unless they had something real, such as a photo of her shopping sent to them. Or someone they already know/trust told them. It could have been Skeeve sending the pic though, or her manager/publicist.
Guys: I think it's fake: cause as I said I looked that Whole Foods up and it moved across the street into another town.
Oh read that Baby Colors at her blog: It was another IIII, ME, Me, I AM LONELY! fest. Kate could not talk about the kids, with throwing in about being lonely. Kate you spoiled the kids talk. Greedy bitch!
The article rang false for me...when would Kate wear a skin tight dress with FLATS, always TAN?
The twins do not need to be on an adult cruise.
Golly, Kate's chugging toward 6,000 mostly negative comments about her on only one article. SIX THOUSAND. The top poster has over 4000 'likes' and almost 400 replies so far.
Yowza.

Isn't Missouri where uber-fan theaustinmartin wanted to have a get together with sheeple and Kate. Did he give up ... Or perhaps Kate's simply ignoring him now?
Sadly, Kate will never follow this idea, one which I try to apply to every second of my day.
" In seeking happiness for others, you will find it for yourself". (unknown)
And on a lighter note, this one:
"You will spend ALL your money on your kid one way or another...either through athletics, music, academics....Or, getting them out of jail. Take your pick," (I made this up,lol)
:)
blessings to all.
The article rang false for me...when would Kate wear a skin tight dress with FLATS, always TAN?
---------
She always wears skin tight clothes and is tan 365. Flats? She didn't think she'd be seen by the paps? She could have been meeting withnTLC or having an afternoon delight with Steve.
If Kate had been shopping last night in Maryland, it could explain why she was still up at midnight tweeting the worshippers. She probably got home very late.
I think it sounds credible, especially with her lack of tweets. Makes perfect sense: Steve.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Not professional enough to answer a sheeple's repeated questions about the charity. Not professional enough to spell out what shore excursions will include Kate and what passengers are expected to pay for on their own. Not professional enough to tell fans exactly what gratuities are included. Not professional enough to detail what taxes and fees are included (and what isn't). Not professional enough to inform fans exactly what refunds are offered if Kate cancels or the minimum number of cabins needed to be sold in order for the cruise to happen. Not professional enough to distinguish between an "emergency" cancellation by Kate and an "out of Alice Travel's control" cancellation.
Professional? The way this thing is put together is sketchy and hardly the work of any professional agency.
Was reading something tonight that said "my sentiments exactly" and thought what? That's not right. I'm so used to seeing "sediments" used here that I've forgotten how to spell it correctly.
There have been several potential suitors tweeting her lately, but why does she attract either the very effeminate-looking thin chaps with partial comb-overs, or the beer-belly, bald, one-tooth wonders who would barrel up the driveway in a pick-up truck with duct tape holding the doors together?
O/T Anderson Cooper is having the Duggers on his show tomorrow. Just saw a clip, he's asking the questions we have been discussing on a previous thread. About friggin' time someone asks them why they have so many, and is it fair the older girls have to take care of the. Should be interesting.
meant...is it fair the older girls have to take care of the babies.
Remarkable Mothers of the Ozarks. In May. Wow. That really fills the dance card.
What else can be said?
You can cancel a cruise with no (or little) penalty until you get to 90 days before sailing. After 90 days you start to forfeit some of your money and as it gets closer, you lose ALL of it. There's no way Alice Travel will make an announcement before the 90 day window.

==================
Although I've heard this story before, it was painful to read. How disappointed Beth must have been that Kate not only took PARTIAL credit for the book--but all of it! That Kate would dare to call herself "a best-selling author."
I've never seen any episodes with Beth Carson, but everyone always describes her as classy. She sounds so proud of her achievement here, overcoming her self-doubt to write a BEST SELLER. There's nothing easy about pulling a book together. Beth did it. It was HER accomplishment. Kate Gosselin is one disgraceful, ungrateful piece of work.

=====
Hahaha! And THOSE are the cream of the crop.
Kate can't attract a nice normal guy because they won't settle for her. That's it in a nutshell. Nice guys don't lower themselves to bitches like her.
I am wondering if they didn't edit out of lot of the Dr. Drew interview and it whittled down to 15 minutes, whereas there was very little editing to do with the real coupon lady and they were thereby able to make up the difference in time with her. That bitterness may have reared its ugly head and they decided not to show it in its entirety.
Also up a ways about the flats - written in such a way to relay that the flats were always tan. I think it was an editing snafu and meant to be read as she is always tan. KT in flats during a potential photo op?
Haven't seen her in flats since she came clomping across the floor in heels, heavily made up, fully coiffed and styled, after supposedly driving back from the Bald Head vacation to turn her nose up at the new kitchen. If I am not mistaken that the was the debut of KT in heels although she would have us to believe that she has never gone without heels in her entire life.
Kateplusmy8
yes! My very favorite and most recent 'I Just Want You to Know' can get it here: zondervan.com/Cultures/en....
************************************************
If Kate is so savvy at saving money, why then is she sending that unsuspecting fan to Zondervan to spend $22.95?
============
Because she probably receives a royalty of about $2.30 when it sells new (depending on how her deal was structured.) Used...she receives nothing.
Yes, she would rather her sheeple drop the $23 rather than $1 at the Dollar Store so that she gets her few bucks and change. And every sale at Zondervan makes her look better (as she perceives it) to her publisher...toward her possibly getting a future deal with them.
Reading the comments at Yahoo, it seems like the men are all saying about the same thing - that the kids aren't what would scare them off it's her because of her treatment of Jon.
It's coming back to bite her now. I hope Nanny Steve gets stuck with her for the rest of his life.
Virginia Pen Mom - Beth does seem like a classy woman I just wish she'd never introduced Kate to the spa.
Kate thinks she's just helping herself by trashing Jon, by making her look like the good guy. The ironic thing is she may just be DESTROYING any hope at a future relationship with a good guy.
Good guys aren't stupid. Anyone with half a brain would assume that if the relationship doesn't work out, as not all relationships do, guess who will be next for Kate to trash for the next three years?
In making it her life's work to trash Jon, the person hurt the most by it will be herself. NO ONE will ever want to be with her again, no one who is a good catch anyway. Congrats Kate. Karma finally came around.
P.S. on Kate's books... If she were really smart, she'd go into Dollar Tree in dark glasses, scarf around her head (60's starlet style, incognito) and buy up the copies. Then the sheeple could order them--signed!--from Kate for $20 plus shipping. She'd make $19, not $2.30. Get to it, Kate! Maybe Barb or Milo will even do the shipping work for you for FREE.
Is Kate going to need her hand held the whole rest of her life?
Kate's staples in life are as followed:
Any sob story (ex husband, kids, life in general, you name it)
A box of wine
An organic salad mix
And an unlimited rub-the-gene Make-A-Wish lamp
PJ--
I just enlarged your avatar picture--I always thought it was a dog in a Kate wig...
@SFarrellDesigns a little store somewhere in Vegas :)
+++++++++++++++++++++
She's talking about the foil dress. Someone asked her after The Grove interview where she got it, and she said she didn't know. Now all of a sudden she remembers?
Ex Nurse - that is so funny! We are not that clever here. He was coming out of blanket while yawning. Even though he is a holy terror, I would never desecrate the poor dog with a Kate wig! He has enough issues!
I forgot to mention earlier to you and Moose and Tamara - I am a weirdo magnet. That's what I refer to myself as and a lot of my friends agree. There's a penalty for trying to be nice sometimes.
Kate's a weirdo magnet too, for different reasons.
I'm still not completely sure how I feel about Beth. Didn't she see the same stuff Jodi and Kevin mentioned when they spoke at the Murt thing? She disappeared for a reason. And while you may say not speaking out is classy, I say not speaking out about child exploitation and abuse is wrong. Did she sign a secrecy contract?
Tamara, a lot of us felt that way about Beth, that she should have joined with Beth and Kevin. If more people in Kate's life banded together it might not look so he said she said.
In addition to sending the camp the grift list, I just might send them a copy of J&Ks late 2008 speaking schedule, where they did at least two engagements in which they continued to claim to still need to pay for college and collected love offerings WHILE THEY WERE CURRENTLY IN ESCROW FOR A 1.2MILLION DOLLAR ESTATE!!!
_______________________________________
Why would anyone feel to compelled to interfere with an event that helps to fund camps for severely handicapped and terminal children? What, exactly is the purpose? Clearly, Kate's career is circling the drain. Like it or not, she has a story to tell--and yes, it involves her children. She is not pulling them out of school and at least the prisoners will get some time away from the warden.
Her career is clearly in reverse--this is how she started, and there is a symmetry that this is where it will end. Most likely, she will be paid some kind of speaker's fee and traveling fees--to Missouri, not Hollywood or Poland or anywhere else that is on her bucket list. She won't be attending a Vanity Fair pre-Oscar show, for god's sake ! She will get pumped up with adoration and maybe she will come home and be nice to her kids. She is not getting an award--she is a featured speaker.
Clearly, she will never be the parent those kids deserved. Posting the grift list on Dr. Drew's website is, in my opinion, fair game--PRICELESS! Sending it to this nice little charity that helps disabled children--definitely crosses a line for me. Who cares about the loverz/haterz--this is a $75.00/ticket event, for, I repeat, disabled and terminally ill children.
Note: I have verified, for myself that this is a legitimate charity. Anyone can look at the 2010 filed non-profit tax return at guidestar.com. It is free to join and all filed non-profit returns can be viewed. Anyone who cares to can do the same. What tells me that this is legitimate is the very reasonable $40,000 range salaries that 2 board members receive. This is compared to $250,000 plus incentives that charities like the Red Cross and Susan B Komen pay out to some board members.

@ang_darling_ @Kateplusmy8 You have to be at least 18 to go on the cruise
&&&&&&&
That's not correct. According to RC policy:
No Guest younger than the age twenty-one (21) will be assigned to a stateroom unless accompanied in the same stateroom by an adult twenty-one (21) years old or older. A guest's age is established upon the first date of sailing.
Has Alice Travel thought to state this on their details page?
And while you may say not speaking out is classy, I say not speaking out about child exploitation and abuse is wrong. Did she sign a secrecy contract?
====
My guess is that she did have to sign a non disclosure along with a lot of others so I wouldn't single her out. You have to ask where was the crew, nannies, etc at the hearing? Kevin and Jodie appeared to go to battle on their own in that respect.
Ex-Nurse, if Kate is featured, this charity is paying her. They should know what they are buying. There's no excuse for supplying this gritted with ANY funds, especially when there are so many far worthier mothers.
Salaries are not the only measure of responsible spending by a charity. I could tell you stories that would curl your hair.
Grifter, not gritted. Bad auto correct!
These charity events often result in very little return for the organization after expenses are paid. Even if Kate only receives airfare, lodging and food, how far do you think that $75 per ticket is going to go, once the venue and event fees are added in?
Not that I believe that Kate and her constant companion are receiving only expenses. She's collecting some kind of additional fee, because that's what she does.

So have I --that's why I always check out the filed returns. I didn't mean that was the only measure--it is the first thing I look at. Sorry I wasn't more specific. I stand by my other statements-I was clear that this is my opinion.
"She's talking about the foil dress(Vegas)."
Wasn't it somebody here who guessed she got it in some tacky boutique in Vegas? You were right on the money.
I'm not really interested in trying to sabotage the St. Louis event, however I don't disagree that a legitimate charity has a responsibility to properly research their guest speakers and be aware of how polarizing they are. If they found someone else they might just make more sales.
It is downright laughable giving her this Mommy award and absolute proof no one did their homework.
OT-Pj,s Momma--
Were you in the wiener parade at Green Lake last summer? There were at least a hundred of the little guys. Made me laugh!

@SharTheMomBear @Babylove2004 @chettysaz I do my pre run yoga-- it's stretches 2do b4 a run. It's amazing& she instructs u2 pause&go run
_______________
I don't know if this was addressed today on this site, but yesterday Kate said on twitter that she didn't stretch before running. Lots of people rightfully blasted her on being wrong and giving incorrect info that could hurt runners.
Well, Kate writes the above tweet today. She not only uses improper grammar (it's stretches) but tweets that she does "pre-yoga" before running. She doesn't apologize or acknowledge that she gave out wrong info yesterday about not stretching before runs. She just lies she has been doing pre-yoga stretches the entire time. And to think that Kate wants to instruct people in running.
Admin--she isn't getting and award. She is the featured speaker.

I will also take this opportunity to say that I unfairly jumped to conclusions about Jon, last month. As you said, my distrust has to do with my personal and professional experience. He is living evidence that people CAN change--too bad that Kate doesn't take a page out of his book.
"She's talking about the foil dress(Vegas)."
Wasn't it somebody here who guessed she got it in some tacky boutique in Vegas? You were right on the money.
I was so right about that! But to be fair, I was not alone in sussing that out. Bet her twitter address is wrong, as usual, too lazy to even look it up.
I always stretched before workouts. Then who should pop up on AOL but Julian Michaels saying don't stretch BEFORe a workout stretch after. Here is the article:
http://www.everydayhealth.com/fitness/team/specialist/jillian/dos-and-donts-of-stretching.aspx
There is apparently debate about when or even if to stretch, who knew. But of course Kate not stretching as nothing to do about her educating herself about good exercise habits. It's just her own ignorance.
Admin said: I don't disagree that a legitimate charity has a responsibility to properly research their guest speakers and be aware of how polarizing they are. If they found someone else they might just make more sales.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I agree with that. Remember how viewers e-mailed Pastor Yashihara, trying to tell him that Kate was polarizing and not the wisest choice to have as a Christian speaker? He got very testy and said the non-fans were basically full of it.
He later found out that they were right.

was going through all the comments on Yahoo & came across this one. I hope more & more people who had to suffer from Kate's so called "Brand" comes out & Bust the Bitch.
Cole • New York, New York •
Haha it's great to see everyone sees her for who she really is. I never watched the show; I refused to, because my mother was one of Kate's primary nurses while she was having all her children at Hershey Medical Center. My mom is about as sweet and good of a person as they come, and she told me it was unbelievable how horrible Kate treated all the medical staff, treating them like literal slaves and actually screaming at and belittling them (same way toward her husband) on a daily basis. Saw this article, and was ready to be frustrated at people unknowingly buying into the innocent card Kate is playing here. Very glad to see no one is. She truly is a nasty, ugly person.
I am quite sure that the charity is now fully aware of Kate's actions and fully capable of making an informed decision.
I have advocated for disabled children and I have a very dear friend that has a severely disabled 7 year old son. Together, they face insurmountable obstacles every minute of every day. So, as sick as Kate makes me, I love this little boy an his brave mom more. If children like him can benefit from her participation, I come down on the side of the charity. Just this once. I can't even think of any other scenario in which this would be the case.
"hope more & more people who had to suffer from Kate's so called "Brand" comes out & Bust the Bitch."
Somebody from Reading, Pa posted on Dr. Drew's Facebook page about how horrible Kate was to the local area people.

What am I missing here? Kate won't let him leave his car at her house for a few days? That's too much for her?
___________________________________
That's EXACTLY IT. kart wouldn't let him onto the property. Remember the time the kids were screaming for him not to make them go back? She made thim park OUTSIDE the gate.
He always had to park outside the gate, and couldn't park his car on the property. Couldn't park it on the road either as the road is narrow and on a curve.
She hates him. HATES him because he stopped the show (in her warped mind) and took away her dreams of stardom, fame and fortune.... so there was no way in hell she would let him drive up the driveway, park his car on the property and make the transition easy for the kids.
Nope. Not her..........

__________________
In what ways can disabled children benefit from her participation if she's so disliked (as evidenced by the comments following her Drew appearance)? Why not have a speaker who they know will be well received and appreciated? If the ones running this are sheeple and drinking the Kool-Aid, then it's doubtful that they are aware of her reputation, or if they are, they choose to ignore it.
Another Iwana has surfaced on Twitter. This one just wants her to call him. He looks to be very young, naive, and not really playing with a full deck.
And furthermore ---
Boy I'm on a rant about this - have always wondered why the lazy diva couldn't drive the kids TO him.
Is there some rule in a divorce that the dad ALWAYS has to pick-up and deliver the kids??????
YOu know, some nights I read here and shake my head. But this issue just chaps my ass.
Does she ever take them to him?
Frankly, I feel so very sorry for the man. I've always wondered if he wasn't such a passive personality if he wouldn't have hauled off and smacked her, or at least yelled back and insisted on his own way.
She does seem to back down at times.... ok, I guess I've only seen that once or twice.
**As for the smacking comment - NO, I ABHOR physical violence. Please don't lets go down that road.
I guess my point was that Jon had remarkable self control. Although............ I bet she never would have married someone she couldn't dominate/emasculate/intimidate.... poor JOn.
Ay...... I guess I came back too soon. She still gets on my last nerve.... sigh.
Downeaster Alexa,
I will bet money that the charity won't benefit because of kart's demands for first class airfare for her and purseboy, hotels, dinners, etc.
Remember the charity fiasco in Australia? It seems by some reports that her auction dinner may have made only $1200 and it was bought by zoo employees.
If a charity has to pay $$$ to get speakers, that is money that is NOT going to the charity works and the kids.
And I bet money there is no way in hell kart will travel alone and on her own dime.
Geez, they could have gotten Michelle Duggar - she's close, would have driven and carries a LOT of weight with church goers, even of different religions because she lives her faith.
Kate's twitter from top of the blog:
@KDMessano oh that is beautiful! I just thought of that idea- so kids don't have 2 ask alllll week 'what's for dinner?' ;)
She wants the chalk board so she doesn't have to be bothered talking to her children about dinner plans. So sad.
Oops, I meant the last post to Ex-nurse, not Downeaster.
Sorry for confusion. Must get off computer; still to chapped to post correctly.
Apologies to both! :-)
She hates him. HATES him because he stopped the show (in her warped mind) and took away her dreams of stardom, fame and fortune.... so there was no way in hell she would let him drive up the driveway, park his car on the property and make the transition easy for the kids.
Nope. Not her..........
&&&&&
In short, she hates Jon more than she loves her kids. Three years later she still hates him. The whole thing is tragic. And yes pick up and drop offs are usually written into the family law order. In CA there is a section to specify it. It prevents a lot of fights to decide upfront. I'm sure Kate insisted Jon pick up and drop off.
Ex Nurse I think all of us have a heart for disabled children but the problem is I think it's a very real concern people WON'T come because they don't want to support what Kate has done to her OWN kids. What is the good in saving some kids if you're supporting someone who exploits others? They might do better to scrap her and invite someone less polarizing. Perhaps even a celeb who has a child with special needs--Jenni McCartney, or Collin Ferrell for example. No one wants to take money away from disabled children just because they don't like Kate.
Admin,
You hit the nail on the head.
She hates Jon more than she loves her kids.
Sad, sad, sad........
What is the good in saving some kids if you're supporting someone who exploits others?
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Has your stance changed here, Admin.? In the past you discouraged people from trying to get Kate fired from paying gigs. Said she needed to earn a living somehow for her kids. I believe you didn't even want talk of informing her future employer(s) of her dastardly deeds on your blog. What changed? This whole blog is now mostly about trying to 'take down' Kate everywhere and anywhere or trying to figure out who this Milo twitter person is. Could it be everything that could be said about Kate has been said about Kate? Over and over and over. Has this blog run its' course? Maybe it's time to let go of this bitch. IMO, it's only serving to keep people talking about Kate when there really is nothing left to be said. JMO but I would like an answer as to why the blog's stance has changed so much.
Again: I'm no sheeple, shit stirrer, or troll. :)
Clear Head addressed Admin. in post#148: You discouraged people from trying to get Kate fired from paying gigs. Said she needed to earn a living somehow for her kids. And CH also wrote: Could it be everything that could be said about Kate has been said about Kate? Over and over and over. Has this blog run its' course?
____________________
I know Admin. can defend herself but this is my opinion. Clear Head you think this "gig" is making a living for her family. I highly doubt the gig is paying Kate any money except flight/room costs/food. Kate agreed likely to go because she loves the attention, speaking about herself and the media articles that may write about this. Also it is an excuse to travel and be away from her kids.
And if you think this blog as run it course, then please don't come here.
In reference to Kate not letting Jon into the Gosselin property-
I thought Kate made that rule because she did not want Jon to bring his "dates" to their jail (I mean, house).
Now that Jon is basically unattached to anyone, I wonder if Jon can petition the court to allow visits with his children at the family house?
I will not watch the Dr. Drew interview, but if she were truly turning on the tears it's because Steve is about ready to jump ship. I think he has come to the conclusion that she is going nowhere.
I am sick her retweets of anyone who demands an update show. TLC has written her off. No one cares. In fact, by tweeting and blogging about the kids, she is underminding herself. No need for a show. Idiot.
She is doing a charity gig ONLY because that's all she can get. No money really, but it's all about PUBLICITY. She wants to remain relevant. Again, Steve must be pondering his situation. It is so laughable that she needs him to escort her everywhere on these types of trips.
I believe the upthread posting about the nurse who tended Kate in the hospital. This is not the first time someone in labor and delivery has commented how mean and nasty she was. This makes me scratch my head as to why she even became a nurse. It takes a patient person to be a nurse. I think it was all about nabbing a doctor. Again, she is manipulative. That's why I believe now that she set out to steal Steve. And we know she manipulated Jon into the 6 pack.
I also believe she unloaded the old BBB on Jon and is making it appear that she is so generous and gave it to him. The real reason....she wanted a new vehicle and does not want Jon driving it. Besides, Jon is not allowed on the property and he did have to be dropped off and picked up when it was his turn with the kids. She's not fooling anyone. I hope Jon reads here.
Ex-Nurse, you mention above that the charity (Camp Barnabas?) pays two board members around $40K. Are you sure those aren't admin salaries? Because if what sounds like a fairly small, local charity can afford to pay board members anything at all, then it has to be a pretty big operation. Not Red Cross big, but still quite substantial.
I tend to disagree about Jon and not allowing the kids to be filmed for specials. We all know that he wouldn't allow it but I think it was TLC that didn't want to film Kate for specials, not Jon. I distinctly remember Kate tweeted to a fan a couple of weeks ago that she wants to do an update show, but not with TLC, perhaps another network. Also, she just re-tweeted to TLC about doing an update show. Hence, I really believe it was TLC that doesn't want to film her for specials. She is just too much for them to handle. Look at the Roloffs, how many specials have they had so far? Now look at poor widdle Kate, NOTHING!
If this Mizzo charity wanted a mulitiples mom they could have gotten Betty Hayes, who actually HAS a disabled child. And had a tv show, and isn't a complete selfish bitch!
Clear Head @148....If you have to say "I'm no sheeple, shit stirrer, or troll." you probably are. As was said in Hamlet "The lady doth protest too much, methinks". When you continue to insist that you are not a sheeple, shit stirrer, or troll we begin to suspect the opposite. Go somewehre else if you think this blog has run its course. I enjoy this blog and most of the people on it.

Is Kate going to need her hand held the whole rest of her life?
Kate's staples in life are as followed:
Any sob story (ex husband, kids, life in general, you name it)
A box of wine
An organic salad mix
And an unlimited rub-the-gene Make-A-Wish lamp
__________
Plus
Parking in fire lanes.
Endless cups of coffee.
Endless pairs of hooker heels & short shorts.
Hair dies for her weaves and fake tan.

If children like him can benefit from her participation, I come down on the side of the charity. Just this once. I can't even think of any other scenario in which this would be the case.
#######
That's exactly the point. Not only will Kate and entourage chew up a huge amount of whatever this charity raises, but unwisely hiring such a polarizing figure is likely to affect their future fundraising negatively.
People like me simply won't give to charities, in the first place, who pay speakers outlandish fees at these events. A charity who hires someone who is the polar opposite (pun intended) of those the charity is claiming to help goes on my black list forever.
Kate whined about how imperfect her son was because he needed glasses. How do you think she would have treated a truly disabled child? A disabled "icky" son?
Kate's treatment of her healthy children is despicable, on a good day. I can't imagine how fast she would have dumped them if they'd required a tenth of the care seriously disabled children often do.
How does Kate's attitude toward her children compare to those of loving, dedicated mothers who struggle every day with seriously disabled children, without nannies, without household help, without an excess of funds?
This is not acceptable use of a nonprofit's funds, as far as I am concerned.
Someone fell for Kate's PR/agent's pitch and did not bother researching who she was. I want my own charitable contributions to go to organizations that are a whole lot more careful with their dollars.
So I think your emotional (and very caring) thought that "if children can benefit" is completely wrong.
I don't see how children will benefit at all from Kate's accepting money to appear at this event. They won't, and Kate's appearance is very likely to harm the charity's reputation for quite a while to come.
By the time Kate and co are paid, little will be left for the children, and the damage to the charity from this fiasco is likely to linger for a long while.

LOL, Funny, for someone who claims to not be a shit stirrer, he/she certainly did stir the shit;)
Our local news station presented an interesting Consumer Report last night on the money to be made using your social media score (didn't know we had one). Many celeberties make money and earn perks using various forms of social media. It looks like Kate is already fimilar with this. Check out the link http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=news/special_reports&id=8555474
I am glad to see her do the charity for the disabled kids. Maybe it will make her a kinder, gentler mom/person such as twitter APPEARS to have done. Maybe she will spend some time with the disabled kids and "inspire" them like she has done with some on twitter. Maybe she will see how fortunate she is that all of her kids are healthy, when she clearly was running the risk of that not being the case with HOMs.
I do, however, think she should have shared this with the tweeties that she now proclaims to "love," even on the first tweet. They can come and see her there and donate to the charity, as well without breaking the bank for the cruise.
It is just a sad commentary when someone has generated such a negative image that one has to question her motives for doing a charity for disabled kids.
There is hope for people to change? Maybe? Even though I am a die hard hater from a long time back I hope so for the 8 little lives whose future she holds in her hand.
It is pretty clear now that the days of fame and fortunate are numbered and few and I hope she sits herself down and maps out a reasonable plan for her to continue to provide for the kids as her first priority, and not so much in the vein of the lavish lifestyle she envisions for herself.
Welcome to real life, KT, the realest reality show of all time.
I haven't seen anyone mention this yet so I thought I would throw it out here. Regarding Kate's tweets when she is asking if anyone knows of marathons for C. to run or something to that effect; during her interview with Dr.Drew she tells him that Rod Dixon is the founder of KidsMarathon. Then she goes on to say that SHE wants to help him out with that because obesity in kids and moms is her passion as well.
Instead of beating around the bush on twitter, why don't she just pick up the frickin' phone and contact Mr. Dixon regarding his help with C. and running and not cow sigh all over her dang twitter page about it. There are plenty of opportunities for her to sign C. up to run without letting the whole world know about it. But then she wouldn't be getting any attention from the story that C. takes after her in that she just loves to run. Get a clue, attention-ho, it's not about YOU!
Also, on the KidsMarathon home page, there is a big blue DONATE button, wonder if Kate saw that or was distracted by the thoughts of how she could make money off of C. by trying to squirrel her into KidsMarathon as a Jr.Ambassador or some shit.
Jeez, she makes my head hurt.
Clear Head, I don' think you are a shit stirrer so you don't need to keep saying you're not. Actually, I think you're a great example of how people CAN disagree without being a jerk. You disagreed yesterday and were mature about it, and wouldn't you know it, you got mature and respectful responses back.
I think you didn't read all my post where I said I didn't think Kate should be sabotaged. My opinion hasn't changed.
Hey, why not make this charity her charity of choice for the cruse?
RT @Suzanne_5 @Kateplusmy8 I continue to find it amazing that Kate carries on alone as a strong and loving mother :o) AWW SWEET. THANKS! 17 minutes ago

How stupid are these people?

Or it could very well be TLC has no interest in trying to negotiate with Jon. The first time around he was the resident douchebag so from a PR standpoint it was okay to attack him. His stature in the public eye has changed. A lot of people see him now as the only one with the kids' best interests in mind. From a PR standpoint, no PR person would advise TLC to fight him again, it would look bad.
Between now and the Ozarks in May, almost nothing on her agenda, I'm betting - there will be a LOT of retweets, bad cookiing and even worse running 'advice'.
How stupid are these people?
***************
Admin, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say although they may seem to say stupid crap, maybe they are just very naive.
Maybe naive, true. I guess they are the same people who when they see some big time celeb on Oprah talking all about how she does everything all by herself and doesn't even have a nanny, they don't think to themselves, hmmm then who is with the kids then when Mommy is in Chicago with Oprah?
It's a lack of critical thinking skills.
Has this blog run its' course?
&&&
Says the 549th comment on a post from Wednesday. I'm going to go out on a limb and say NO.
I am pretty sure that I would rather gnaw off my left big toe than to go hear her speak at that fundraiser in Missouri. What in the hell does she know about raising a disabled child, she was freaking whining about one of the boys needing glasses! Is she gonna teach them the art of grifting or what? She absolutely has no clue as to how lucky she is that her kids were born healthy. For her to be a guest speaker at that event is almost a joke and an insult to all of the truly AMAZING moms out there.
Re: having a disabled 'imperfect' child. Remember the epi where Kate took Leah & Collin to the eye Dr? She seemed more worried about the cosmetic look of Collin's droopy lid than the visual implications, although she weakly tried to make it seem so...Jon I recall had her number.
Viewer, I saw that too. That's why I am wondering what the heck she can offer those families out there that have disabled/challenged children. She cannot see past her own nose and there is no way that she can ever connect with what those parents and families go through every day. What a crock of crap those people are going to get by listening to her dribble about something that she has no idea of and is only there to put herself in the light, once again.
Radar Online has a positive article about Jon today. It does mention Kate in the final paragraphs.
Pay: exactly! I agree w/ Tamara who thought Betty Hayes would be a muck better speaker, who has gone through the trials, tribulations and joys of a handicapped child. But maybe Betty is not 'into' speaking for money and displaying her family's privacy (past her show)
I think Kate would have made Collin undergo needless surgery at the tender age of 3 to make him 'look' perfect. Luckily the Dr was not advocating this. Kate was rather rude to him too iirc.
Here's the Radar blurb on Jon's recent comments:
http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2012/02/jon-gosselin-single-dad-kate-ellen-ross
Jon is extremely positive and wow! what a difference from Kate's self-absorbed pity party.
The kids are lucky to have him. He *is* the constant in their lives.
Jon's just a normal person while Kate is clearly not.
Not one single mention of Kate because you know, that relationship was over there years ago and he's not an obsessed parental alienator. He's just focused on the kids and on self-improvement for himself.
Can you imagine Kate ever saying she is working on HERSELF?
Maybe the reason she's doing this charity event is because that's all her PR person could get for her. We don't know how many organizations the PR person contacted to schedule Kate but was turned down over and over again. A small organization wouldn't necessarily have the staff to do research about a speaker and was grateful to land a celebrity at all. My opinion only.
Years ago I worked for a small for profit company that was approached by a manager of a small time celebrity who wanted to endorse the company's product. The president saw stars in his eyes, until I told him what the celebrity was "really" doing in her private life. Bottom line, the company did not hire her and today she is no longer in the tabs or anywhere.
Circling the drain is probably right.
[Excerpt from Kate's shiteous Dr. Poo interview]
"The odds are so against me - one mom and eight kids," she said. "I mean, I don't expect someone to come in and financially provide for my kids. I mean, they're mine, that's my job. So - just to have somebody there."
************************************************
Oh God. Cry me a river.
So gathering from that statement, Kate really doesn't care if her slave (I mean, man) doesn't contribute financially to her home. She just wants a man to sit quietly in the corner until she needs him.
P.S. it's funny how Kate has spent her entire life being a task master, and how she is using Twitter to manipulate her fans.
Knowing Kate's track record, why on God's green earth would anyone expect Kate to want anything other than a slave for a mate? Dr. Poo's interview was nothing but a "Help Wanted" infomercial.
I pity the fool that takes Kate on. She's going to RUIN him.
It's well known that Kate doesn't play well with others.
Well, Kate sure seems impressed with herself this morning, tweeting her "Google Trending" number. Jeepers, she beat out a pic of Whitney Houston in her coffin! I guess it's true that the only thing that matters to her is attention, even when it is overwhelmingly negative. She really is clueless when it comes to how a SuperMom should be promoting the image. As for her "work" with Rod Dixon and obese children/mothers, despite what she said on Dr. Drew, she seems not to have any kind of coordinated campaign on this issue. Her approach to this, as with all things, is just to throw out as much s--- as she can make up and see what sticks. Is she hoping for a "career" in this vein just to somehow evolve organically (pun intended)? If she had a brain, she'd be dangerous. But without one, she's just a transparent, superficial, annoying, self-obsessed famewhore who will do anything for a buck.
I wonder what happens tomorrow when her Google score returns to oblivion.
Could someone tell me why she's celebrating "trending"? Has she looked at WHY she trending? The most vile things are being said about her..OMG...she's got a screw lose..
RT @Suzanne_5 @Kateplusmy8 I continue to find it amazing that Kate carries on alone as a strong and loving mother :o) AWW SWEET. THANKS!
Yikes!! You are all right...any publicity,even negative, any sheeple praise, goes right to her empty head. I can't believe how this twitter woman could say such a thing...???
It's not so amazing, it's a situation many women find themselves in- my mother was widowed when my sister was 8 and I was 5- amazing, yes, just like the millions of other single mothers and Kate has an ex who helps plus a cushion of $$$ and grifts. no matter how much evidence against her as a supermom/woman, I am always amazed at the dumbos out there.
There doesn't appear to be a generous bone in Kate's body. If she doesn't get the attention, money, fame, credit, freebies, she doesn't do it! Surely, we all know that here. We will not be fooled by her again. Greedy grifter, was, is, and always will be. Jon saw the light; Kate never will get it.

_______________________________
Kate got more replies when she asked where she could get a chalk board. LOL!
Kate is saying 'yay!' to the fact that her trending stems from the nearly NINE THOUSAND negative remarks about her in one article. God, she's dumb.
Ex Nurse, no, we do not attend any dog events. Too much liability for me; he wants to bite everything. He is Kate in a hot dog suit.
Kate's trending because she's on Yahoo's page. Yuck. Why??
Well, I know why really. She gets hits and loads of comments which are overwhelmingly negative. No one is buying her BS.
Someone in her camp needs to tell her to stop blaming her 8 kids for her not having a man. And I don't give a hoot how many kids you have. If you have more than 1, you are outnumbered! If you are a decent mother, you will parent any amount of kids. What are they going to do, form a junta, take over the compound and feed Kate worms?
Still, she sees them as a group, not individuals. Also, she seems to think that they will grow to be horrible people. Why all the doom and gloom for the future?
And for the love of everything holy, stop acting like Jon isn't in the picture. If there are behavioral problems in the future, CALL JON AND CO-PARENT WITH HIM.
How anyone can fall for her poor, pitiful me act is amazing.
To follow up on my last post about Kate vs. 8 (Hey...I'd pay to watch that one!!)-- there is a distinct and real possibility that one or more of the kids will be living with Jon.
Very possible.
Does anyone have any idea what kind of a game Milo is playing with Kate? I haven't been following this, and it sounds very strange. I know that she thinks her dog and Shoka have a relationship, but what is this all about? This person is looney tunes!

Geeze Louise, she truly is.
"Says the 549th comment on a post from Wednesday. I'm going to go out on a limb and say NO."
LOL! Ain't that the truth.
I just can't fathom Kate giving anything away that she could make a buck on. I really think Jon's name was still on the BBB and she had no choice but to give it to him. He's too much of a gentleman to call her on it but I believe this is the real way it went down.
About giving Jon the BBB-- if it was Kate's, in her name, then at some point Jon agreed to give her that piece of property, perhaps in the divorce agreement.
So, to set the record straight, Kate did not buy the damn thing and did not own it herself until Jon relinquished his half of it. JON gave Kate his half. She never owned it herself to begin with. Now, Kate has turned over what Jon partially owned to begin with, and was cooperative enough to hand over to her when Kate got primary custody.
Gawd, isn't Kate magnanimous?
The van was owned by both of them. They shared it. Since Jon's name was on the title she couldnt sell it or trade it in unless Jon signed it over. Jon kept it.
maybe she thinks OXY moron is a new product from the makers of OXYClean?? ;-)
In my opinion, Jon is a very mature person. I would want to shout my side of the story with all the gruesome details from the top of a media mountain. That he has been able to remain silent in the face of such provocation is testimony to his strength. I think he should be admired.
Her kids are soon going to eclipse her in mental age, if they have not done so already. Even youngsters recognize negative comments being directed at them, yet Kate stays positive because she is 'trending'! So, she receives thousands of comments, by far the majority of them negative, yet she remains upbeat and because she is trending! That sparkly dress is made of sequins and TEFLON.
This blog will be here until I am an old woman with all of us scratching our collective heads as to how she remained to stay 'famous'. It will come at the expense of broken relationships with her kids, never knowing who they were because of her incessant desire to stay in the spotlight. But let us all remember, she is doing it for her kids, and she will stick with that thinly veiled excuse
until someone in the mainstream media has the balls to call her out on it.
"The van was owned by both of them. They shared it. Since Jon's name was on the title she couldnt sell it or trade it in unless Jon signed it over. Jon kept it"
That's what I thought yet she tells people she "gave" Jon the van. He's has probably been paying part of the insurance, maintenance, and registration fees since they split. Kate Gosselin gives NOTHING away for free. She really takes people for stupid. The van was probably negotiated in the divorce settlement and since he had no wat to transport the kids without it his name remained on it.
"In my opinion, Jon is a very mature person. I would want to shout my side of the story with all the gruesome details from the top of a media mountain. That he has been able to remain silent in the face of such provocation is testimony to his strength. I think he should be admired."
I agree Dmasy. If I were him I don't think I could have kept my mouth shut. I'm sure that Jon realizes bad mouthing Kate in public would only hurt his children. Too bad Kate doesn't get that. Jon really does have his kids best interest at heart. He always has.
GotyourNumber...I agree completely with you, too.
I checked on Jon on ROL. He is getting hammered. I don't have an ROL ID or I would help him out. How could anybody in their right mind could watch that show and not see that he took care of those kids while KT sat and watched. That is the kind of man she wants - one that will let her sit on her plastic throne while he takes care of her kids. She will miss Jon one day if not already, I don't care what she says to the contrary.
