'Dance Mom' Melissa calls Kate out: 'I am not a bad mom. You should understand reality T.V.!'

Amazing. Kate has even managed to tick off a fellow child exploiter


Melissa, Maddie (left) and Mackenzie

And now it's time for another "You did not just say that, Krieder" moment. Ah, the Dance Moms. Pennsylvania's newest child exploiters on the scene. And Kate's got an opinion. Yesterday she had the audacity to take issue with their show, tweeting this:


@Jxxxx um dance.. Yes. Um those horrible Dance moms? never ever ever! 


Turns out who should see this tweet but Melissa Ziegler, devoted mommy of dancers Mackenzie, and Maddie, who is usually at the top of the (fake) pyramid. Oh, and, oops! Melissa is from Kate's area and was a big fan who used to defend Kate. That is until Kate picked a fight. Today Melissa tweeted the following back to Kate: 


Dancemom1313 I heard you were bad mouthing our show "dance moms". I have always supported you and ur show! U should understand reality tv! I grew up in New Holland, PA so that's why I watched your show then I feel in love with your kids. I am not a bad Mom


Baw-ha-ha! Oh, we just love it when child exploiters fight amongst themselves. It's our turn to say you go, girl. You go, Melissa. Call this fool out.

Oh and the New York and Boston marathons will NOT happen for her this year! What is she thinking? I'm going to go ahead and predict she won't run those particular marathons next year, either.

Pity Party, I think you're right--she has to find marathon events that are poorly organized. Not tight ship operations.

tate said...

Does Kate realize you have to QUALIFY to run NYC or Boston marathons?? I bet she has no clue. And the qualifying times are no joke! She would have to shave a good hour off of her current "marathon run" time. It looks like the qualifying times for her age are 3 hours 20 mins to 3 hours 40 mins--roughly in that range. Didn't it take her almost 5 hours to "run" her Las Vegas marathon? She is dreaming.

And most runners I know won't miss a run no matter what---you can't hold them back. They don't have to convince themselves to run or dread it or talk themselves into it. They look forward to it.

How can she be ready for a full marathon and three half marathons this year, but not be ready for Madrid? I don't get it.

And she sure makes running sound like a drag.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Oh and she'll never qualify for Boston what a joke.

Jumping In said...

What I enjoy about this blog is how fair-minded and open the comments are around the subject of exploitation, and in this case, child exploitation combined with fame.

kimmie (122) used my last comment (63) as her example of posters here DEMANDING parents to be perfect. Firstly, I make demands on no-one, that would indicate I have power over them, which I most certainly do not. Behavior can be observed, commented on, and questioned, without making demands. What is interesting about kimmie's thinking is she seems to believe people here can change an outcome by demanding it to be so.

If Jon reads here, he will read he has cautious support along with the hope he makes mature decisions without any further exploitation of his children. Wouldn't it be great if we all demanded this of Jon and made it happen ? But kimmie, life just does not work that way.

Sherry Baby said...

Them Ed Hardy days showed just who Jon was.

_______________

THOSE Ed Hardy days showed that he was a guy who had been the control of a narcissist for how many years, and finally was able to get out from under her abuse. Those Ed Hardy days didn't last long. They didn't show just who Jon was. What they did show was something nobody knew -- exactly how miserable it must have been living with her.

it's over Kate said...

Jon spent a couple months wearing Ed Hardy and years later people still talk about it. Ridiculous.

Kelly said...

I believe that you have to either qualify to run the NYC and Boston marathons or enter a lottery to get a number. Of course, she may grift her way in.

Gift of grab said...

"having an opinion and expressing it is totally different than some of the extreme actions many here have taken re kate and employment even when it didn't involve the kids."

Obviously, I can't speak for everyone here, but I don't think anyone here cares so much about Kate (or Jon) one way or the other that they would spend time and effort trying to sabotage her "career." I don't think that anyone here has done anything re Kate and her employment besides commenting on this blog or other public sites. It seems that other blogs/Twitter have people who think it's okay to "stalk," for want of a better word, those who don't agree with their opinions or who dislike Kate. I truly don't believe that happens here, and I credit Admin with keeping everyone on a mostly even keel, even when there is disagreement, which there frequently is.

If this is the sort of activity you are bringing here, it is unwarranted and unwanted.

Jumping In, agree completely with your post. It should not need saying that we don't have any power over anyone but ourselves, and we don't expect to. That's not the basis for discussion here.

readerlady said...

When we assume, and presume to know what Jon has to offer and what he is going to do,we wind up making ourselves foolish. We have no way of knowing what Jon intends to do, what he will be offered, what, if anything, he has done to improve himself and his knowledge over the past 2 years. Who knows, maybe he intends to give seminars on IT. Until he proves that he's just as much of a fame whore child exploiter as Kate, I'll reserve judgment. I'm not sure what I'll consider exploitation. Merely mentioning the kids, in general isn't exploitation, unless we want to consider nearly every parent who ever existed as exploiters. When it gets to specifics, such as descriptions of how one child crumpled to the floor in a ball when told of the divorce,or stories about bra shopping and having "the talk" with the older girls, or filming the kids puking their guts out on a deep sea fishing trip, I think we all can agree that is exploitation. It's those gray areas that get us, every time. Past performance isn't ALWAYS predictive of current behavior. Sorry, Dr. Phil. Some people do learn from mistakes, grow up, and become better people. I'd had to be judged for the rest of my life for some of the foolish things I did as a teen/young adult.

Gosselin8ComeFirst said...

How about a marathon she can actually run and complete without "help"? Never mind someone else paying for it.

Should be very interesting, since she will need to sponsor herself, and pay for all fees if she is so cash strapped, as she claims. Local marathons would work well (and there are many), but we all know this woman just wants to travel, and hopefully get her fees, hotel, air fare and meals covered, although does not look like too many people are interested.

Her poor agent is probably still trying to get sponsors. Good luck with that.

It's unbelievable. Even Kate's skanky outfits are not talked about that long. Enlighten me about the evils and immorality of Ed Hardy anyway. It's a dang t-shirt!!! It was a dang job that, wouldn't you know it, didn't exploit the kids. Did we ever see the kids forced to put on Ed Hardy?

Other celebs who have worn Ed Hardy: David Beckhem, Madonna, JC Chasez, Ryan Seacrest and drumroll please......THE JONAS BROTHERS.

Where is the sheeple hate for the Jonas Brothers a band Kate even took the twins to see?

readerlady 7 - We shall see what Jon has to offer, and hopefully leaves the kids out of it. I am A Okay with that.

Ooops. That's supposed to be ". . .we wind up making ourselves LOOK foolish", although I feel pretty foolish right now, LOL!

@Kateplusmy8 ....bad knees, but want to run to tone up and lose weight. Am on WW now,, and losing. Any suggestions on how to proceed??
^^^^

Proceed with what? Bad knees, WW? These sheeple are so needy!

georgie_porgie7
@Kateplusmy8 How do u grocery shop with 8 kids? I find it impossible with my 4!! Takes 5 x as long with the kids. :-)
^^^^

Kate doesn't grocery shop with eight kids! The sitter stays at home with them! What is with these people?

I wish someone would write a book on the sheeple -- demographics, education, family size, economics.
They are such a curious flock.

Westcoaster said...

If she really is a runner, she would spend more time running and less time tweetimg about running. And I agree, her agent is probably trying to line up sponsors, so no Madrid - guess the Queen of Runner's World is not so in demand. As for Boston & NYC, laughable - does the word 'qualify' or the word 'lottery' mean anything? Plus she will be even closer to 40. Enjoy that driveway while you have it.

Gosselin8ComeFirst said...

readerlady 11- I understand what you are saying and am simply hoping Jon does not now "exploit" his kids the way Kate has done on a day to day basis on Twitter, her blog and CC. These kids need a damn break!

Hopefully, Jon (now free from TLC contract) will take a different road. We shall see.

it's over kate said...

Some of the twitter followers are only.familiar with Kate through.the show. They must believe the supermom crap tlc peddled tor years

Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows said...

I wonder if Kate got out for the picnic-in-the-park, probably not, or she would have tweeted pictures of the lunch basket. I don't understand, though, if they cause a panic at the movie theater, why a similar panic doesn't ensue at the park.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

I don't get how marathons can make that much money for the kids, even with a sponsor.

For all the training she puts in for a marathon and a sponsor she could be out there working a 9 to 5 job making a lot more money.

whyohwhy said...

OMG this woman is a textbook narcissist! I live in the Helladelphia area, oops I mean Philadelphia area and today it is GORGEOUS! Why stay at home and run or go grocery shopping when she can take the kids to the park? Really I feel bad for the kids. Their life seems so empty and sad :( As for Jon, I don't think he is looking to get back in the spotlight. Really I don't think anyone will give him much attention in the first place. Seems like people are now really looking down at reality stars after Snookie and Kimmiecakes. But I don't think he left his job to just sit around and wait for that TV show to drop in his lap. Instead, as one poster mentioned above, seems like he is promoting bars or restaurants locally, which is fine. As long as he leaves the kids out.

Tweet-le De Tweet-le DUMB said...

I thought she was supposed to be training with the running guy she hooked up with during the RR Marathon in Las Vegas. Did that association fall through? She hasn't been dropping his name.

************************************************

I can't imagine Jon riding on his kids coattails.

Anyway, he's a completely different person than Kate. I don't know what kind of skills he has to make it in show business, but at least he has a good personality, and is funny. So we will see.

I think he will be fine with or without stardom.

On a different note-

I found a parody video on YouTube of
"Honey Boo Boo Child" from "Toddlers & Tiaras".

Has anyone seen, "Honey Boo Boo Child"...25 years later" ?

Katie Cry-duh said...

Wait, if she ran a marathon in December, how come she has to do anything different to run a marathon now? Why does she now need to train? I thought she could just run an 18 miler out of nowhere. If finishing is winning, then can't she finish another marathon now, or in Madrid? What's the problem, sweet cakes?

westcoastie said...

***********************
I am not a runner but I agree with Westcoaster. If I were TRAINING for something (anything) I would be less inclined to make up excuses to avoid the training and more inclined to work at it every chance available.
She'll be too exhausted after groceries or the sun will have gone behind a cloud. Or she'll get too engrossed in party planning for St. Patrick's Day.....
"I need a half a bag of nachos and half a bottle of salsa....ohhh, I'll get the green kind! And then there are cupcakes to buy and where-o-where sheeple followers will I find little green clover thingys to decorate them with?"

TLC stinks said...

If she doesn't have a paid sitter while grocery shopping, you can bet Cara and Mady are watching the tups.

There's no money in running the marathons except for any freebies she can grift; but the big thing is for her to get the publicity. She is trying to pass herself off as a "fit" mom of eight. The problem is, most moms can't afford the plastic surgery shaped her figure (such as it is).

It's over Kate said...

Well of course she is planning a St. Patricks party. Clearly, those children are very IRISH. (grin)

Katie Cry-duh said...

The joke is Kate says she's fit but she is far from the picture of health. She looks old, poorly nourished and doughy (skinny fat as it's called sometimes). There's little muscle tone as her weight loss seems to be courtesy of a liposuction machine and intermittent starvation. I don't even think I believe that she runs much at all, she has that little credibility. People who are fit and healthy don't need weaves, spray on abs, tanning sessions and tons of makeup to look presentable. And never mind all that, what's more important: loving on your kids or being thin? The bitch is so backwards

EM said...

For Logan: Jon's Ed Hardy days don't bother me too much because I understand how people go a little wild after the divorce. I do not agree Jon did not see his kids during that time. Jon going on a trip to France and Vegas doesn't even come close to kate's travels away from home so I think it's a wash. Did Jon act like a buffoon? Absolutely. I hated that he did that because I knew it was hurting how he was viewed. But no one will convince me that he treated his kid's poorly during that time. It was a period of adjustment of trying to balance his new life/ freedom with his custody arrangement. I get it. I didn't like it, but I understood where he was coming from. Coming off a show, his 1st instinct was to seek out another. It took him a while to come down to earth after the TLC slap down but he did return. I guess I support Jon because he comes across as genuine in his feeling for his kids. Call him the lesser of the 2 evils or whatever, but it's my opinion just like you have yours. I would only hope you see that everything you described about Jon could define kate's behavior as well. Change of clothes from mom wear to mini skirts and heels, plastic surgery, exposed cleavage with massive new boobs, time spent traveling with a man, leaving her kids behind, being out drinking etc.

RE Jon in the public eye.. I'm so torn. Part of me wants him to be more sought after than kate just to make her STFU. The other part of me realizes if Jon is out there...it puts kate back out there. The Gosselin saga is something I'd like to see closed for good, yet I also have compassion for Jon leaving with practically nothing from the divorce when he earned the same money kate did. I guess time will tell how I feel about it.

RE exercising: I don't run. But I work out. I used to workout every morning at 5am before work and I literally had my eyes pop open in the am and I sprung for my shoes. I never had to be forced to do it. I loved the boost it gave me and I looked forward to it.
When I moved and started working from home I stopped working out. Felt sluggish for years.
I just started working out again recently and I can honestly tell you I look forward to it each morning. I missed a workout due to being sick last week and I hated the feeling of messing up my routine and my day felt "off."

kate makes running sound like a chore instead of an energy boosting exercise. Either she doesn't run like she says she does..or she is under nourished which makes running difficult for her.

So 3 halfs and a whole but not ready for Madrid? Sound like no one "sponsored" her. I also think she is throwing the 3 halfs and a whole out there waiting for the genie to grant her wish for travel/hotel paid for. kate thinks she will get lots of media attention for her marathons which is why she wants to do so many. kate doesn't realize the media attention was from the surprise of her first run. After than..it's kinda old news. We already know she is a "runner." What's left to tell?

Pity Party said...

Can anyone tell me where cutting floor clips are, the one where she dared Cara to go in the pool, etc. I looked but did not find. I am that bored with the KT saga that I have decided to view them if I can find them.

Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows said...

Watching the Cook-Brinkley fiasco on Access Hollywood. As part of the divorce agreement, each had to agree to pay the other $5,000 for every derogatory remark made to each other. Too bad Jon didn't get such an agreement for every time Kate threw him under the bus. He'd be rolling in dough right now.

AuntieAnn said...

Logan said... 167
I think Kate needs to back off a bit about the kids but what can she do. She has to find some way to support them.
====
That question always cracks me up. It's like she either has to make it big time in television by exploiting her kids or it's death by starvation for all of them.

EM said...

I find it weird that kate doesn't have a "running time." Most people who exercise tend to do it at a certain time each day. kate's routine is all over the place and it's not like she;s busy. You would think she would do it right after she dropped off the kids from school. same time every day, with weekends being for rest or driveway running if she has childcare issues.

I'm working out with a trainer 2 times a week in addition to my daily workouts and I love that too. He pushes me to try harder and I love it. kate runs like she does everything else in life. MISERABLEY

Layla said...

Oh, for the sake of all that is holy...
Did you guys catch the tweet from "SadieMayGlutzzz" (with a 666 thrown in for good measure) who said she's thinking about following kate and wished the show was still on? Kate replied that she wished she ("Sadie") would follow her and they still had a show. WTF??? She wants someone using SADIE MAE GLUTZ's name to follow her? Is she so stupid that she doesn't know that Sadie Mae Glutz (real name Susan Atkins) was one of Charles Manson's followers? Does she realize that when poor, pregnant Sharon Tate begged for the life of her unborn baby, it was Sadie/Susan who said, "I have no mercy for you, bitch", before stabbing her to death and ending her life and her baby's life?
Okay, Kate, listen up. It is not a good idea, when you're trying to pass yourself of as the world's bestest-ish mommy, to encourage interaction with people who choose to use the name of infamous baby/mommy killers. And if, by chance, you didn't know who Sadie Mae Glutz is, the "666" should have tipped you off. Stupidity, thy name is Kate.

Dallas Lady said...

Yep, I'd be willing to bet my eyes C&M are now unpaid babysitters. Full-time over Spring Break, it seems.

I also agree she's "fishing" when it comes to those three half marathons and one whole. She's just throwing things and names out there to see what sticks.

I really believe she's feeling desperate. The gravy train is over. It's been exactly six months since TLC pulled the plug and canceled the show. I'm quite sure she thought by now she'd have another show or SOME other gig paying as well and with as many fringe benefits as the job with TLC did. I firmly believe SHE believes she is hot shit and quite in demand, except that belief is really being tested right now.

And possibly falling apart.

That's always a dangerous time for narcissists. If they can somehow continue to convince themselves all is fine, they are still hot shit, then they will manage to go along.

But when all evidence points to the opposite conclusion, it gets very psychologically difficult. They can take things out on others, implode or explode.

Add to that the fact that Jon signed with a management company. WE know that may or may not even mean much. It might mean he's just going to do some local PR stuff for different things/events. I think that's most likely. But it's still got to burn her ass something fierce.

Then add this thing with Gina--how apparently she still attends functions with Steve. I've always gone back and forth, but I think Kate is not having a romantic relationship with Steve (I do think she wanted one, though) and I think he is only still functioning in her life in this way: if she has to go somewhere out of town, then he is paid to escort her. His pay comes out of whatever she receives to do that event. I doubt she's paying him directly.

So no more full-time Steve being paid by TLC. No offers coming in for shows or other media jobs. Hinting that she wants marathon trips. Jon signing with a management company. She's probably had to cut back considerably on paid child care. I do think CC is getting ready to cut her loose, letting her put coupon codes on her own website as a way to transition to not having her on their own site anymore.

No paid/televised birthday for her. No paid/televised birthday for the younger kids.

And the money in savings is being used with not much else coming in to replace it.

Tick tock.

abc said...

Snark alert.
Aren't there any 5K through marathons held in PA?
It would certainly be a lot cheaper than flying to CA to run 13 miles.
Why even her kids could watch and cheer her on and -gasp- meet her at the finish line.
I know I know.......

Dallas Lady said...

Missing the point, abc!

(Point being: get away from kids, travel so she can fool herself that she's special, she can't get any positive attention locally, etc.)

Cali Runner said...

Making money off marathons, lets see. Here's her options.

1) Get a major company to sponsor her (saucony, Nike, etc). These companies sponsor the likes of Ryan Hall, Kara Gaucher, etc. These are olympic athletes. Not average joes, these people get paid to run but they are world class runners. I have never heard of a "celebrity" being sponsored to run.

2) Win Marathons, there is prize money in marathons, that is why a lot of the kenyans compete, the money they make here goes a long way back home. Prize money is not in the millions of dollars, at most its in the 10's of thousands for major marathons, and the thousands for not so major ones. Besides the kenyans I havent heard of anyone who can make money off running, and besides she would have to run a 5 minute per mile pace to beat the kenyans.

so I agree that she just keeps doing this for publicity and because she thinks it makes her stand out to be a mom of 8 running marathons. As a runner, and a mother (of 2, not 8) the only thing this makes me think is when the hell does she have time for her kids of all she is doing is training for and traveling to races all the time? I cannot understand how anyone finds that inspiring.

I think Kate is also sticking to the running beacuse she wants her Runners World cover LOL. Good luck with that.

silimom said...

Gift of grab said... 6

Actually, there was an attempt when Kate was hired by Coupon Cabin to solicit people here to start a letter writing/email/call in campaign asking that she be fired.

Admin very quickly and diplomatically took care of it by reminding everyone that Kate deserved a chance to do what we had been asking her to do all along - i.e. do a job that did not involve filming her children - and that while people were welcome to contact whomever they wished, she asked that they not use this blog to organize such an endeavor. At least, that's how I remember it.

Dallas Lady said...

I remember that, too, sili. I think your recollection is very accurate.

I never thought there was much reason to care about her CC gig, since she would probably screw it up just like she has every other opportunity she's had.

Thing is, she was always billed as a mom of 8. The picture of her in their offices, she's holding up eight fingers. She can't ever really make money in media jobs without using the kids because she's never made herself stand out WITHOUT them.

And bless her heart, I think running was a way of TRYING to separate her own talents (which are non-existent, as far as anyone can tell) from the kids, but even THEN she couldn't resist making it about being a mom of EIGHT running. Like she's SO amazing because she had eight kids and CAN RUN. (Does gestating that many babies mean your legs don't work? Or is it just that it's so amazing that she can find the time to run? Because that's not amazing, she has two live-in babysitters who are 11 year old girls and before that, she had lots of paid help.)

I can't think of a single thing she's done or attempted to do in the public eye in which she did not invoke the kids or straight up use them.

Yes, Layla, I saw it and shook my head at Kate's stupidity. Kate never read Helter Skelter. I doubt if she ever heard of Charlie's Girls.

Dallas Lady said...

Someone with the actual twitter name Charles Manson could tweet her and say he LOVES her kids and she'd say thanks!

Someone named Hitler or Stalin could tweet her saying they love the kids and she wouldn't bat an eye. Hell, a user named Pedo Bear could do the same thing.

Narcissists aren't known for being very aware of the bigger world. All she sees is a fawning compliment.

Kat said...

Layla@30...OMG...did Kate actually respond to her? What a complete idiot. I'm shocked at her stupidity..well not really...Kate's always good for a laugh..you have to admit.

Dallas Lady@31...great post..as usual..

Dallas Lady said...

I love the tweet from her at the top of the feed right now. She LOVES hot weather! Loves to run in hot weather!

I wonder what she thinks is hot. I'd LOVE to see her try to run during a summer day here.

Also think it's strange she talks about "fitting in" a run. If you are seriously training, it's not just a matter of fitting it in, is it?

Sherry Baby said...

Someone with the name of LeslieVanHouten17 (denied parole 17 times) or Texwatson should tweet Kate with adoration, and see if she responds.

Keeping it straight said...

Let's compare:
Two of the sheeple publicly tweeted to the employer of a 'hater' -- that is documented and easily proven.

AND

Someone mentioned "Maybe we should email CC to ask why they hired Kate."

I would think that the latter is not as big a deal as the first. That's just my opinion, of course.

Aeduko said...

I think it was me who posted the first comment re Jon being hypocritical signing with an entertainment management firm. I said that because (if I'm not mistaken and I could be!) didn't he say he didn't want to be in the limelight and was happy living a regular life? It wasn't that long ago either. So now he's signed with an agent. I have no issues with that at all -- he's got to make a living -- but he had said he was done.

The trolls. The anonymouses. I've always said that if you post on a blog you should own your comments, which obviously a lot of people disagree with. You won't see a single post with my IP address under a different name. I think it's cowardly for people to take other names specifically to address someone else, and I think anonymous should be banned. I know there are posting issues; I used to have them. But you can work around them by using another browser or signing up for an account. The other way would be to have this place be a members only place like Preesi(I think that's the name), where new applicants could be vetted.

But let's face it, controversy creates hits for the blog which helps admin in the long run.

anger issues kate said...

Gift of gab: someone over at CC must be a Kate lover/fan, that's why Kate is still with them. Normally, someone who blogs like Kate and not famous(for lack of a better word)would have been canned a while ago. Kate has given no major or minor, useful or helpful money saving advice, that normal/mediocre/regular people with common sense, could not figure out themselves. It's not brain surgery. And if people would do a little research, maybe take a refresher course in math, economics, or read a good book on those subjects, they will find that all of what Kate blogs is right there and has been for decades. And the funny thing is: it is all common sense. Yes, staying home saves money. Total common sense. You don't go out, you don't spend money, unless your buying on line or ordering pizza, to be delievered.
Kate does not understand the meaning & difference of the word staycation. It's true meaning is: stay on home ground(don't go out of your state/city/county), do stuff locally, like: museums, movies, parks, waterparks, mini golf, amusement parks, local fests, community stuff. It does not exactly mean stay home and clean garage/basement, do stuff that you would normally do on weekends or if you are home while kids are in school stuff. It means vacation locally. Come on Kate, where are those money saving tips for getting tickets to amusement parks, museums etc, what no link to any of them, no advice to others, to look on line in their own state for that info. SHAME ON CC AND SHAME ON KATE! YOU ARE A FRAUD! Nothing money saving there. No wonder I've never heard of CC.

That should clue you in...

Tanya said...

Oh, the 666 would have gotten my attention also. That still doesn't make anyone who doesn't recognize the name stupid.

Dmasy said...

I don't think that Kate keeps track of editorial trivia or current events. I just can't see her getting into a lively discussion of political candidates. I think that anything out of her myopic field of vision is just unimportant. She might claim that she is just too busy to be concerned, but actually she is intellectually lazy.

I love the tweet from her at the top of the feed right now. She LOVES hot weather! Loves to run in hot weather!

I wonder what she thinks is hot. I'd LOVE to see her try to run during a summer day here.
________________

I love Dallas & Forth Worth in the summer's but I doubt Kate could make it while running.

She could get a nice tan though.

anger issues kate said...

Dmasy: Jon once said on JK8, that Kate does not read the paper or watch the news, and could careless about currnt goings on in the world(unless it concerned or was about her) cause she finds it boring. Intellectually lazy and add stupid is very accurate, when it comes to Kate. The know it all, knows nothing, to coin a phrase I heard years ago: I'm just a woman, I care nothing for worldly goings on, let the leaders and men take care of it. I only care about love, fashion, and money, so I can purchase nice things for myself and myself. This is why the world is screwed up. This is bleached blond, big boobed, bimbo, thinking. Most commonly called: an AIRHEAD and DUMB BLOND!

It's over Kate said...

Kate didn't know which Presidents were on Mr. Rushmore and didn't bother to look it up on her pink iPhone before they arrived at the attraction.

She didn't know (or care) what Old Faithful was.

She doesn't know much about much.

silimom said...

Sherry and Layla - to be fair to Kate, she isn't a) of a generation that really commonly knew of Charlie Manson and the Helter Skelter murders and b) Even if she knew who Charles Manson was most likely wouldn't have gotten the Sadie May Glutz reference anyway. That takes a level of knowledge of the crime that most lay people don't have. I read Helter Skelter years ago and didn't remember that factoid.

It's not about not knowing the name, although the 666 should have flagged something for a church deacon's daughter.
It's about not doing ANY basic research before engaging with someone on twitter just because they complemented her. THAT'S what's stupid.

Kate thinks she is so darned smart. I'm not of that generation, either, and I know the names of the girls and Squeaky Fromme, who tried to assassinate Ford. There have been countless documentaries on Manson. Even if I had never heard of Manson, the 666 in the name would have been a major clue that something was off and I would have checked on that person's tweets. Kate thinks that anyone who fawns over her should follow her and sing her praises, even if they bear the mark of the beast.

Kate should have registered for the Philadelphia Broad Street Run. The race, which is a 10 miler flat course is held in the beginning of May. It is a huge event here - registration (30,000) was filled in 5 hrs., they added an additional 5,000 spots. She won't make any money doing marathons. I would like to think that she is running them for her own pride. Who knows what she is thinking.

Has Kate done ANY of the events she listed about a stay-cation yet?
She isn't the smartest..she tells the whole world she is leaving the kids alone today to go grocery shopping..she either has a sitter, or leaves the kids alone with the twins. First, the twins aren't old enough to manage that many kids, siblings or not, second, these kids live in an isolated area, so if someone were to try to access the house, that would be so easy...and what if one of the kids had an accident? what about a house fire

Dallas Lady said...

Apparently it's been gorgeous in her neck of the woods. No mention of any picnic and I doubt very seriously she had any intention of doing one. It just sounded good. What a doting mother, right? Anyone can SAY they're going to do this or that with their kids. Kate is bad about the follow through, to make an understatement.

I think the main point about all these twitter handles is that Kate should be more careful who she responds to and she's NOT. Remember the guy with the picture of a big erect penis as his avatar who kept saying he loved the kids and loved her and she responded to him??? She should have BLOCKED someone with a penis as their avatar! But she doesn't look, doesn't think, doesn't care. All she looks for are compliments, period.

The handle could be Iwanttoeatyourkids or kidsrlovelywithmustard or even a direct threat to her in the name and she wouldn't notice or care.

Actually, I take it back. She DOES care about herself. So she might actually notice a twitter handle with a threat to her in it. Anything else? Naaaaah.

Yes, one of the questions that the hosts read was about Steve and before Kate answered the question the hosts said that Steve was sitting in the studio with them.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Isnt that too precious. In case one of the radio hosts suddenly attacked Kate with a microphone? He has to be IN THE STUDIO? Things like this make me wonder who is working who here and why. Is it STEVE that has Kate convinced of the danger and panic in the streets? Why, I wonder. Is he that incapable of getting another paying mistress if Kate cut him loose? Or maybe she is so zoned out that she needs someone right at her side whispering "left foot, now right foot, now enter this room - no, open the door first - now sit in the chair... THIS chair... with your butt... bend at the knees and sit..."

barbee said...

It is a given that we want her to work on her own (without the kids involvement) to support the large family she engineered out of a desire to reap HUGE benefits. However, HOW is her posting minimal DRIVEL on CC doing that? If she IS getting (note, I did NOT say EARNING) huge amounts of $$$$$$ $$ doing that, I am going to have to consider being a coupon bloggerish type person.

Mediocre said...

Dance moms is a horrible show whether you like Kate or not. I wouldn't give a crap if that tweeter ever supported my show back in the day or not , call em like you see em or be a big fat fake.

Looks like Jon is tired of being mediocre and signed with a talent/pr firm ...as soon as his TLC contract was up. Looks like hes blocking the foulest of Kates critics too....so be careful weasels.

Flight of the Kiwi said...

Generally, Coupon Cabin, Groupon and other coupon sites sell merchants deals for coupon placement on their site. Some deals are pay-per-click, some deals are duration - coupon is on the site for a negotiated set of time. Negotiated deals can include a percentage of the sale when a coupon is used by the consumer.

For Coupon Cabin, it is all about the number of site hits. The more hits, then, statistically, greater likelihood of clicks on coupons. CC makes money, merchant makes money. Kate generates site hits, be they fans or haters. Kate could a post in pig-latin for all Coupon Cabin cares. Her "job" is to generate clicks.

Be that as it may, Kate is missing an opportunity to develop a popular "column" full of saving tips relative to the season involving the merchants whose coupons currently are on the site. It would benefit her - becoming the coupon "Heloise" - as well as increase site hits for CC. When it comes to time to evaluate Kate's effectiveness in generating hits and clicks on coupons it will be nothing but numbers that matter. The content of her posts are irrelevant. However, her failure to promote the site, either on her blot, twitter and in interviews could be an issue when deciding to renew her contract.

In short, Kate is a lousy spokesperson. Always has been.

Coupon Cabin thinks she is "nice". Of course she is, she always can manage to be nice when it benefits her pocket. Lord knows, she is not a morning person, yet she was "nice" to the photographer who was tasked with her 5:30 A.M. shoot in D.C.

Kate is as disingenuous as they come.

Too bad she alienated her parents. Wouldn't it be fun for some of the kids to visit them for a couple of nights over the break...take turns maybe, or how about grams and gramps come to THEIR house. For someone who claims to put family first she's sure missing the mark.

Can anybody explain to me WHY on God's green earth Kate "needs" a bodyguard? I'm serious -- what the hell is he protecting her from? The chickens? I used to believe he was actually protecting TLC's interests by keeping Kate in line during interviews/appearances/run-ins with the lone paparazzo, etc. But, TLC has cut her loose, so why is Steve still around? I don't know if they are, or ever were, an item -- but either way, there is something very odd about his place in all of the Gosselin drama.

Mary in California said...

Curious about the Gina Neild facebook page posting, I went to take a look. Yep, she says she and Steve will be in DC that day. Then I looked up Steve Neild. There is a page for Steve Joe Neild that looks like him only younger; not so much silver gray hair but the face looks the same to me. Anyway, his profile is private, except the part that says, "In an open relationship."

Someone else can confirm if it's him, but it sure looks like it to me. So...maybe he does some things with Gina and some with Kate and they're all okay with it. Ew.

In an open relationship. Lol

Yea Confused, Steve's role in the Gosselin drama is bizarre isn't it? I've realized why I'm so addicted to this bs. At first it was Kate's bad behavior, then it was the exploitation, then it was a fasination with the phenomena of the whole "hater/sheeple" battle, and now this is like watching a soap opera. I used to watch soaps with my grandmother during summer break, and even though I knew they were stupid and unrealistic I couldn't tear myself away.

Now with these blogs (though this is the only one I read regularly) I know that continuing to give Kate attention, even bad attention is keeping her name out there, but I have to see what happens next. Can it be that the way we can't stop tear ourselves away from Kate's shocking behavior is the way that the sheeple can't tear themselves away from following the kids?

I'm not trying to shit-stir by drawing a comparison, I'm really not. I know a lot of people feel like we are activists in a sense and that's fine. I think we all can agree though, that much more goes on in these discussions than simply trying to end child exploitation. We have built a community here. We love this blog because the other posters are so funny and insightful.

Maybe that's why the sheeple won't let it go. They have become friends over the years and don't want to lose their community either.

The way Kate talked to Steve on the RV episode sounded pretty relationship-ish. And as someone mentioned the other day, Ashley said 'it's always about him'. Heck Jon was suspicious four years ago. I think a husband can usually tell when his wife is screwing the help, especially when he isn't getting any from her himself.

You did, however, deny that you were banned, when your writing style, punctuation, etc, clearly showed that you WERE the kimmie who was banned. That's hardly being truthful.

PJ's momma said...

Marie, WOW! That was over the top! My husband and I were talking about burlesque last night at dinner because a lady in his office does it and he didn't know what it was. I told him they are not nude, but it is meant to be very seductive. How can these people defend these dance moms when the instructor was saying, "Crotch, boobs, crotch, boobs!"

You know what struck me in that second video from The View? At 26, Raven Symone is so articulate, so well spoken, so confident. She is a natural up there.......and ironically Kate was just reminding us that SHE was the cohost. She was none of those things. Sure, Raven grew up in front of a camera, but Kate has said many times that is where she is most comfortable. It sure doesn't come across like that though.

AuntieAnn, I thought the RV talk was pretty wishful-thinking-ish. Steve shows no emotion toward Kate and rarely toward the kids. I do think she has strong feelings for him, but I don't really think it is reciprocated. Can you imagine the stuff he's seen? Who would sign up for that? I think he signed up for a paycheck and showed up to collect them.

I laugh every time Kate says she has found what she likes to do, and it provides well for her family. Only problem is, it's not HER job. It doesn't matter what you like or feel comfortable doing, or how well it pays,if it's not your occupation.

And yes, I stand by what I said above, I do think she's stupid for begging Sadiemayglutzzz to follow her. Even if she didn't get the Manson link, the 666, the hideous quote, the religious crosses--those things should have made her pause. But all she saw was ass-kissing. She should be more picky about who she invites into her life, and into the kids' lives. And before some Kate-lover starts saying it's Kate's twitter and not the kids', let me remind you that she chose to go by "kateplusmy8". Not just "@kategosselin". She had to throw in some connection to the kids. And if this Sadie does follow Kate (funny how she identifies with a Manson follower, and in turn wants to be a Kate follower), she will be included when Kate tweets about how much she loooves her twitter "friends". And, of course, Kate will beg her to go on the cruise with her and the twins. And her "fans" think there should be extra security to keep "haters" off the boat? We called it--the fans are a much bigger security risk than any "hater".

Nope. I'm still not convinced they're not a couple-ish. With all his supposed credentials he could have moved on to bigger and better things than Kate Gosselin a long time ago, so it makes me wonder why he's still around as of six days ago.

I do think he'll walk eventually. I love a band called Alter Bridge and there is a song called Watch Over You and I think of my brothers each time I hear it and it applies to Kate too. It's about when people walk away and the part about 'who'll break your fall, who will you blame?" really resonates for someone who has been used abused by the person they're walking away from:
You say, you care for me but hide it well
How can you love someone not yourself?

And who is gonna save you when I'm gone?
And who'll watch over you when I'm gone?

And when I'm gone who will break your fall?
Who will you blame?
I can't go on and let you lose it all
It's more than I can take
Who;ll ease your pain, ease your pain?

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

You're right, I think TLC initially brought Skeeve into the fold because Kate's very early nasty outbursts with fans was becoming "a problem." Now, IMO, it's a little bit of two things.

1. Kate is a narcissist. She likes things to be done for her. She used to not even pump her own gas. I think she likes Skeeve to handle travel arrangments and all she has to do is get in the limo or on the plane. On the other hand, I also don't think she has the ability or confidence to do these things by herself.

2. As we have all noted before, Kate has some concrete preconceived notions about what it is to be a celebrity. These include treating 'underlings' like dirt on her shoe, riding in a limo like it's 1994, imagining that one is so special, people can be (illegally) ordered to delete a photo taken of her, having the ladies room cleared and guarded while she uses it and having a bodyguard with her at all times while she travels. Now more than ever, with her z-list status she needs Skeeve to lend some air of importance around her when she is out of town.

Surely to pete those costumes are MEANT to be sexually provocative, if they are, there is something seriously wrong with those parents.

Conversely, none of the clothing worn by the G kids was this suggestive, but it doesn't take a provocatively dressed child to arouse a pedophile.
I have seen shows on the major broadcast channels showing bloopers of funny moments, and sometimes it shows blurred images of poop...if it isn't appropriate to show poop on mainstream tv shows, it sure shouldn't be shown on a reality tv show with innocent children who haven't given their consent to be exploited.

I don't mind having a spirited debate with someone who doesn't agree with everything I say or think, as long as it is done respectfully. Perhaps if a debate ensues, something can be learned from different mindsets.

Thanks for clearing that up about the middle initial. I have always found his "Company" page to be roll on the floor funny. Anyone of us could call ourselves a company, even do some legal manuevering to be "Inc", and then way over state experience and qualifications. Directing traffic in a suburb of Seattle because Clinton was landing in Tacoma during rush hour does not mean you were a body guard for the President of the United States. And having a friend answer your phone and bring you lunch does not make that friend a security expert on your 'staff'.

This low life joker has made it clear that his priority was Kate's unstable mental health, not protecting her (except her purse and dry cleaning) and certainly never protecting the children any further than making sure their existance annoys their gestational carrier as little as possible.

Now that February 29th has passed, it will be interesting to see how much Steve has a presence in The Queen's life. We had speculated that his TLC pay would end at the end of Feb, especially after she stated he would be around 'for a few months'. If she gets any paying gig she will probably insist on a paycheck for Steve too. Did she manage to do the grocery shopping today without him? Was there panic in the streets? No wonder she hasnt left the house all week with the kids - she cant pull up her pants without Steve telling her which leg to lift first.

Re Stevearin-o, he hasn't been a bodyguard since before the ski trip episodes. It's soooo obvious that he is, and has been for quite a while, a handler. He's pretty much Jon.2, when it comes to leading Kate through all of the everyday stuff that confuses her. Except whereas Steve gets paid, Jon just straight up paid.

Someone mentioned that it looks like Skeeve dresses Kate, does anyone know when Kate went hooker? She was very much a sweatpants mom whom had to be forced to clothes shop by Jon.

if it isn't appropriate to show poop on mainstream tv shows, it sure shouldn't be shown on a reality tv show with innocent children who haven't given their consent to be exploited.

But (or should I say butt?) They never showed the actual poop.

I've been checking in every so often and want to know if anyone has dared to twit Katie Irene re: Jon's signing with the management agency. What I've seen of her twitter over the past several days seems to be calm, so I guess not. Is she trying to ignore his attempt to rise above the "mediocre"?

I'm betting that was TLC's call. Kate did take a photo of it.

let me remind you that she chose to go by "kateplusmy8". Not just "@kategosselin". She had to throw in some connection to the kids.

Great point, Layla! Just ANOTHER example of Kate not being able to do ANYTHING without dragging the kids into it. She can't even have a Twitter account in her name...and her personal blog is the same way - it's got the kids in the URL address.

And Jon? He's used his own name in his Twitter...nothing about the kids.

readerlady said...

I've always found it ironic that Kate didn't object to filming the kids in the shower, on the potty, and in various other stages of undress, but when they were getting ready to go to the OBX the first time, she rejected 2 piece swimsuits for the twins as "inappropriate". They were about 7 at the time, IIRC. Now look at her. She parades around, in public, in ill-fitting bikinis and revealing slutwear, showing off her storebought tatas. How is that not inappropriate?

Rhyms with Witch 119 -- Actually, according to an article I read, it was JON who insisted that the actual poop not be shown.

Dwindle 112 -- Yeah, Kate shrieked at Jon in the airport to "Lead us Jon", but then she refused to be lead. What a conundrum she is (Look it up, Kate).

Tamara said...

I think the "it's all about him" comment was more of a dig at Kate that she puts him above her children, way above, and that she's more than a little obsessed with him. If they ever were sexually involved I'd hazard a guess that it ended a while ago.

Once a Viewer said...

I always thought it odd that they seemed to dress the kids mainly downstairs. Filming was allowed upstairs, so why would Kate carry down the outfits of the day to the living room for Jon to put on the tups? Also Jon mentioned that the twins came downstairs to get dressed for school. That seems strange- when did it stop?

~~~

Also re: potty contents- when Kevin & Jodi looked after the G8 kids as well as their own 4 (all sick) it was kind of funny when Kevin asked the twins about emptying the potties which apparently stayed filled all day....you could see the contents- he was retching and saying, this is nasty, this isn't right, but the twins were unfazed...some germaphobe, Kate. And gee, did she ever thank them for going WAY above the call of duty?

njay said...

Do you remember on the RV trip when Steve was asked if he would go on a trip like that again? He said ask me in six months. Well if you add the months from that time to Feb., it is around six months. Maybe that is what he was referring to. Contract over, trips from hell over.

It's obvious the Steve profile is fake but I think it's pretty funny it says "in an open relationship." Ba-bum-ching! In light of Gina's fb post about plans with him kinda sounds like things are just find in la-la land. She might have put her foot down about it, no more going to see Kate unless it's a paid job close to home, like the D.C. thing. Or at least cut back. Or they could have one of "those" marriages so popular out here where you pretend everything is fine for appearances. Who knows.

Let's put it his way though, Kate almost always tweets every night. I just don't think if Steve were coming around she would tweet so much. Everyone leaves Kate eventually, even Steve.

Gift of grab said...

Re the @kateplusmy8 handle, in all fairness, I think that there already was a @kategosselin in existence, and that TLC owns the rights to @kateplus8. So her choices were probably limited. I think this is also why Jon has a 1 after his name--someone already took his real name as a Twitter moniker.

Only the SS are bodyguards for the President. If you check out his firm's webpage, there is no mention of his being a bodyguard for Clinton. What it says is "His special expertise is in VIP protection and major event security planning. His experience has included work for the 2000 Olympics, the 2001 Queensland Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), close protection planning and management for...U.S. President Clinton..."

I liked Dance Moms until the burlesque episode. That way way over the top. I guess I will be "Once a Viewer' of DM too....sigh, I think I'm off reality shows for good!

-----------------------------------------------

I'm with you! Thanks to you and Marie for bringing the DM burlesque issue up after all these posts. I will admit to having gotten into DM over the past four weeks and I will also admit I got the idea to watch it from this very blog. I am no longer a viewer of DM. This week's episode was disgusting. The Moms are spineless and talk the talk, but don't walk the walk. "Oh, these costumes are SOOOO inappropriate! But oh, well, that's Abby!" Those poor girls have to go to school after having been essentially naked on national TV. Unlike the Gosselins when they were little, these are prepubescent girls. I can now agree with Khate on one thing, that the Dance Moms are horrible.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

The burlesque thing was one huge red flag that I felt like it was so scripted this week. Once again Abby does something to get the moms all upset, moms talk about how upset they are for half the episode, a few of them getting into a shouting match with Abby, Abby tells them to trust her she's the expert, and the girls go on to win or almost win the competition.

It's like every week there is a controversy that gets the moms all worked up but all is well in the end. There can't possibly be that many controversies week after week at one little studio! Couple that with the feud with Cathy and it's just getting silly. Abby can't even pretend to be shocked anymore at the things Cathy pulls (from the script).

If this is a scripted show and everyone is acting then just say it is what it is. To keep calling it a reality show is starting to get insulting. I know the dance world can be brutal with lots of backstabbing but this brutal all at one little studio?

Anonymous said...

I've heard this thing, where kids become their parents. All the things you said as a kid you would never do the things your parents did.

I remember saying these things, about the age of Kate's youngest kids. I promised myself that I would never become like my parents. That if one day I had kids I would never do half of what my parents did.

I mean, the best Kate can hope for is that her kids can promise themselves the same thing, that they will not be anything like her.

I think Kate is too far gone into herself to ever take that step back and rethink, you know, I could have said things different, it's not too late to apologize. As parents, or so I've seen sometimes they say things they might not mean in a moment of stress or anger or they say things that embarrass their kid.

I think for Kate by the time she figures this out it might be too late.

She does not care about boundaries that should be there for privacy, because if she did we wouldn't have seen half the things we've all seen. I know she said that her only control with TLC was if she felt the scene that was captures or it put her kids in negative light she would ask them not to use it...and I can't help thinking those must have been very few scenes she disagreed with.

As a parent, if you're the one who does not have the final say to what the world sees of you kids, reality or not, I think it says a lot about you and to what price you will go to make sure you are known and that people "love" your kids.

Whole thing with the kids being in states of undress...you know, I have never understood why it's necessary for parents to take pictures of their kids in the bathtub or when they learned to use the potty. I've got friends who post such pictures on FB and I wonder, would they be okay with the same thing if it ever ended up on TV?

I don't mean any disrespect to those of you who are parents I really don't because I'm not one. I just wish Kate had the ability to stop and think about how things will affect her kids. Come middle school, come high school, all the stuff that's out there, her kids could be tormented for years by their peers. But that's the last thing of her mind.

I can hear it now, when Kate looks at her kids and they talk, or when she takes a picture and when she dreams, I hear an old cash register going "Ca-ching"

You are absolutely right. And at what point will the kids be too old for Kate to be giggling about their poo?

These kids will be eight in three months. Eight! That is SOO old in terms of a child having awareness of himself, his mother, and others. They will know exactly what is up by then. Can you imagine a mother laughing about when her child now eight years old pooped her pants? It's outrageous. And it's disrespectful to that child's dignity.

As I think Berks said awhile back, she is an abomination.

anger issues kate said...

Geez, is Kate in twitter jail today. It's been 13 hours, since she last bellowed. Has anyone notice Kate has been actually saying very little, about anything lately? Even her radio interview, she said very little about it on twitter, not much about the cruise, either. But, when she has, she has been very bitchy, and banning some. She is up to something. Well, she 1. actually did something with the kids today, (GOOD, if she did), 2. maybe a court date?(over the twins going on the cruise), 3. Kate had kids cleaning, (like she mentioned) 4. or they were running around town shopping(getting stuff for St Paddy's day), take a pick. Too quiet = up to something.

Very quiet today; maybe the kids are with their father, and K8&Skeve are on a spring break trip. Sometimes I just amuse myself.

My point exactly. But i think Steve was out there in an orange vest directing traffic or working the stop light.

Dallas Lady said...

Two things:

1. The number of tweets in her mention feed (the people tweeting to or about her, including fans, haters, and all in-between) have really dwindled in the last two months. There was a time when you would hit refresh and dozens would be posted in just a couple of minutes and that would happen almost 24/7. People didn't even seem to take a break late at night. Then it started slowing down. Thought it was my imagination at first, but now it's really noticeable.

2. I always thought this Steve scenario was possible: Steve hates her. I mean HAAAAAAATES her. But TLC was dangling some sweet bucks in front of him, and it was too much to resist. He hated the thought of having to deal with her, and being a minder, but he couldn't turn down that kind of cash. Kate did have a thing for him, but it was not reciprocated. He bitched to his wife on a regular basis about having to deal with her, but Gina liked the money, too. They decided together he would ride that gravy train to the end of the tracks. And so he did. Now, he's only called on to help her maybe 3-4 times a year, and paid out of whatever she gets for her appearance. He's taken up other work, as he knew he would have to. He and Gina were never separated. Gina is relieved, for Steve's sake, that he doesn't have to deal with Toxic Kate anymore (except rarely).

It's long been my theory.

Did Kate ever reveal her "charity" for the cruise? Whatever happened to the fan who kept asking Cindy for the name of the charity before she committed to purchasing tickets?

Zoe said...

Maybe Steve gets off on knowing Kate lusts after him, and on NOT satisfying her. Add that to the hefty paycheck.

Cruisin' Just As Fast As She Can said...

Dallas - my theory exactly. I always imagined Steve and Gina having a really good laugh over Kate's obsession with him and all of the rumors about the two of them being involved.

Cruisin' Just As Fast As She Can said...

Alex Forrest is going after Dan Gallagher right now with a knife. I'll never be able to watch this movie without thinking of Kate's fans refusing to be ignored!

Jumping In said...

What seems to escape Kate is the fact that her children are people, each one of them unique. I never get any sense of their individuality, just a sense of their numbers 2 + 6. This is how they have been marketed to the public, by numbers.

Kate cried to Dr. Drew that the numbers do not work in her favour, 8 kids would scare off potential suitors. She cannot go to the movies, again because of the numbers causing panic. She cannot afford to take them on trips, yes just too damn many kids!

No matter how many siblings you may have, when you put your head down on your pillow at night, you are just one person with your own thoughts, your own hopes and dreams. Try as I might, I cannot imagine Kate sitting down with one of her kids and asking him/her about their interests.

I did sense Jon took more time to see his children as individuals, and not as inclined to be overwhelmed and burdened by the numbers. Kate needs to look at her kids and recognize that they had no choice in their numbers.

anger issues kate said...

This whole thing with Jon signing with a what promo company: Zane? Perhaps Jon is going to do computer stuff for them. Since, nothing has been said what he will be doing, selling/promoting a product, doing copy or doing what he does know best computers. I guess we will have to wait & see.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Dallas Lady's theory is totally possible but really that makes Steve even more of a jerk.

Enabling someone to do their dirty deeds, especially against children, then running home to your real life and laughing all the way to the bank, is disgusting, I don't care if you're doing it to someone despicable like Kate.

I think the only thing worse than being Kate Gosselin is enabling Kate Gosselin.

anger issues kate said...

Jumping in: what you said, reminds me of an old British TV show called: The Prisoner. The guy in it Patrick McGoohan, plays a man who was an ex-spy, who quits and is knock out and wakes up in a strange village, wear everyone is a number. And he always says: "I am a man not a number" Sound like the G8? I am an individual, not a number/six pack/set/team/tup. Kate reminds me, of being number one, the tups are number 6, the twins number 2..

Dallas Lady said...

Earlier this week, Kate answered a tweeter's question about spring break, saying shenhas them part of the time and Jon has them part of spring break. But then her column said ten LONG days.

Anyway, I think they're with Jon now. She doesn't need the distraction of twitter thus: silence.

Admin, I agree, I can just see Steve being too tempted by the dollar signs and figuring Kate is Kate and she's going to be how she's going to be, might as well make the cash while I can. And I've never gotten a sense even once that he gives one iota of crap about the kids, have you?

Nah, I bet he just saw it as a job, albeit a super annoying, well-compensated job,

Dallas Lady said...

I meant to add I really think if they were together, Kate would have said so by now. She wouldn't keep going with this "I'm so lonely" stuff. She'd be chomping at the bit to show she got about man.

She's not under contract with TLC anymore. So she'd be able to come out with it.

Gift of grab said...

Alice Travel must be coming up on some kind of deadline. The agent has blanket-tweeted no less than 6 times today, sounding increasingly desperate. I think there's trouble in Cruise-ville.

And no, Cruisin', no charity has yet been revealed, although it's possible that this information is being given out only to paying customers. I understand a lot of cruise info now is being exchanged only via DM/e-mail, not for public consumption on Twitter.

Anyone else think that Kate spent a good part of today checking with "her people" as to the possible implications of Jon's new representation? I think this may explain her Twitter silence. I bet she never saw this coming.

Anonymous said...

No there is a charity named.

Give to the follow:

The Kate Gosselin Foundation, your local Reading UPS store address.

This charity covers the follow expenses of a one-woman charity:

Hair extensions, cut and color
Nails
Clothing
Organic Salads
Bodyguard payments
Tanning
Expensive Nike/other brand name running supplies
And a small amount of the proceeds will be given to her 8 children in the form of letting them live to be exploited.

Hope this helps ;)

It's over Kate said...

Alice Travel won't announce the cancellation of the cruise until right around Mother's day. If you cancel within 90 days of sailing you will lose money. They will hope they can retain some of the sales because people don't want to cancel and forfeit the deposit.

Gift of grab said...

#162, no, I wasn't suggesting they would announce cancellation this early either, BUT I believe there may be some internal pressure--e.g., RC asking for confirmed passenger numbers. I just noticed that the agent has really been ramping up, not just today but over the past 3 days.

And Dallas Lady, you're right about the decline in Twitter traffic in the last 4-6 weeks. Usually when Kate would tweet, there would be an onslaught of 200-300 tweets per hour. Many times, now, it barely gets to 50.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

America is hurting financially. I imagine her fans are too. I think she really alienated a lot of fans with her constant grifting followed by twitter parties on her leather couch bragging about her 3-D T.V. and other similar escapades. I remember what it was like to struggle and during that time I don't see how I could be friends with or a "fan" of someone so ungrateful, and moreover to have that person not turn down so many freebies! You can't surround yourself with attitudes like that when you are trying to climb out of a financial hole ethically and through your own hard work or you will go crazy.

Clearly the kids are with their dad now. That's the only time she doesn't tweet.

Twitter to her is marketing. With the kids away, she has nothing to market and, therefore, no need to tweet.

Dallas Lady said...

Gift of Grab, I thought so! Like I said at first I thought maybe I was just looking at odd times, but no. Her mention feed is down significantly and has stayed down. ESPECIALLY since her early days on Twitter! Even the haters seem to be dropping off a bit, though honestly they make up about 90-95% of her mention feed now. If she really had 80,000 active followers, her mention feed would be wayyyy busier than it is.

This is what I've been saying for so long: if the haters would just pick a day and time and just completely stop cold, just black out her twitter feed, it would be SO interesting to see how dead her mention feed is. Of course, that's how it must look to her: dead. She's got so many people blocked.

Did y'all know next month will be a year since she got on Twitter? I never do this, but I'm going to archive-dive here at 15. It'd be interesting to refresh my memory on what she was saying on twitter back then. I do remember she'd tweet upwards of hundreds of times a day, every day. It was LOCO.

Why is it so hard for people to pick a name and stick to it?
The rules don't apply to them? They can't read? What?

Scrolling past anon with no response is all they deserve. If they can't own their comments they're not worthy of a response, IMO.

Here's a name suggestion: Imacoward

Here's my take on the whole "Anonymous" issue.
Every single one of us who posts here is essentially "anonymous". Just becaue we "pick a name and stick to it" doesn't make us any more identifiable to the general community. Any one of us can pretend to be be whoever or whatever we want. The only one who can really see if a person making a comment from post to post using the same name is REALLY the same person is the ADMIN.

So instead of ridiculing dips@#ts for being so cowardly as to posting comments as Anonymous, instead you should riducule them for being stupid enough to not just make some name up and posting their comment under "Betty Sue" or "K8lvr" or "Kick me, I'm an A$$&@!e."

Dallas Lady said...

There actually wasn't an entry to mark her debut in Twatville But I specifically went back to exactly one year ago to see what she was Dow, and damn she was busy. And the kids were working their asses off, and still had months of work ahead of them.

Last year she went to NY for her birthday. Shopping trip during the day with Jamie, going out at night with Jamie. More and more I think Jamie was pulled in to make Kate look more normal and likable. The producers noticed, I'm sure, that she doesn't seem to have any girlfriends.

This year sure is in stark contrast to last. And I also didn't realize the announcement of the TLC cancellation was almost seven months ago, not six. Mid-August, before the school year started.

So when she's on the cruise (??) that will actually be during the one year anniversary of her being canned. No wonder she so desperately wants to get away.

I didn't think PA was all that dangerous, nor is Kate that popular that she can't stroll the streets of Reading alone.

Seriously? I spent my college years in Philadelpihia. Downtown Reading after dark is not a place I'd like to be. And I consider myself a pretty tough b!@#h. Reading, PA is regretably the poorest city in the US right now. I'll go link it if you dont believe me...

Oh wait, but the bodyguard thing? Yeah, totally unwarranted. I mean, she might get mugged just cause she's there. It would have nothing to do with her being who she is. But so might I, and I don't have a bodyguard. So meh.

Okay, for clarification, I mean it sarcastically. You know when Kate runs her mundane errands in the day time, or when she goes through a PA airport, come on I don't think it's that dangerous she needs a bodyguard.

I don't think the streets of reading for Kate Gosselin during the day ever warranted the use of a bodyguard.

Maybe I don't give PA enough credit, I'm sorry.

Check! said...

Marie,
Didn't really mean to draw out your comment, sorry. The whole "bodyguard' thing has been quire a bone of contention with me. Kate, very early on, had said that she chose to have "personal security" or whatever, after she witnessed a strange person putting one of her children on his lap (which I believe was during a promo with WPVI in Philly, don't quote me).

She said that was why she felt the the need for security. The problem is, since that time, ALL the security has been for HER. Not the children. That's my problem with it. If it truely was about security for the children, why is the security detail with YOU and not your children?

Check! said...

And, for the record ... I'm suprised it was never mentioned here, but Taylor Swift is a class act. Last fall, through Scholastic, Inc. she donated >$6000 in books to Reading Public Libraries. Where's the love Kate?

The only real reason Kate "needs" a bodyguard is to make herself appear or feel special.

Okay, so say a stranger picks your kid up and puts them on your lap. What do you do? Turn to your bodyguard? No, you remove your child and tell the person that they need to respect not only child's personal space but that it's ill mannered at the very least. You explain to your kid that every person they meet doesn't need to give you a hug. You need to teach them how to be aware in of the very least about strangers and why it's dangerous.

Another thing Kate is too lazy to figure out on her own. I don't care if she's happy people "love" her kids, if she wasn't on TV in the first place would she still have been just as happy with people knocking on her door to see her kids because they are multiples? Oh I hope not!

My best guess is Steve started out maybe as crowd control protection for Jon and Kate when they filmed. I mean come on, a bunch of people with equipment who are filming? Yeah people are going to stop and stare, it's human nature to see what's going on, duh. Clog the area, linger, take pictures whatever. You draw more attention to yourself with having extra people around then you would with just you and your kids.

As time went by perhaps because Kate was so ill-mannered towards people, her meltdowns, the way she handled certain situations due to the encroachment of media Steve was there.

I just don't buy it that she needs a bodyguard through an airport. She's not that drop-dead famous. She's a former reality DWTS contestant and a mom of 8, so what?

I go to church with a family who has 10 kids, I don't see them on reality TV with bodyguards. But then again, my neck of the woods large families are sort of common so you don't tend to stop and stare, least I don't. Oh, look a lady at the checkout with 7 kids buying groceries. Wow. Big whoop. Kate just needs to get over herself. Multiples or no multiples.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Kate doesn't need a bodyguard through an airport. Kate needs a tour/travel guide through an airport. She can't get through one without help. She needs someone to figure out what gate to go to; where to get the baggage, what to do if a plane is delayed, or how to change planes. She's never had to do it by herself. Before Steve, there was Jon. Before Jon, she never was on a plane trip.

Anonymous said...

Man this kills.

Kate ever look up and read the signs that are posted all around the airport? Flights that are listed, arrows pointing to luggage collection?

I mean if she's that lost, there are tons of airport employees who would be happy to point her in the direction she needs to go.

Let's see...she's delayed. Oh the horror. Have lunch, walk around the shops, make a few phone calls? Deal with the fact that life sucks? I don't know.

The day's going to hurt when either she can't afford to pay Steve, he quits or is offered a better job. I don't care if their friends fact is I doubt he's going to lead her around for free.

Sure, first few times yo go through an airport alone it can be intimidating and you can feel clueless but after you maybe do it as often as Kate appears to...what's the problem? I didn't know her brain was full of just hot air and no knowledge how to navigate simple tasks. And this lady is able to drive herself places and remember how to get home? Wow...

^^^^^^^^^

The problem is not that she can't do it. The problem is that she never had to do it and therefore, doesn't want to do it. The problem is that she's too lazy.

On the other hand, if she is flying with eight kids, I can see that she would need help keeping an eye on them. There are crowds, and the last thing you want to do is lose a child in an airport.

I just noticed that the agent has really been ramping up, not just today but over the past 3 days.

Funny if they were more open and honest about this cruise I bet they would find a lot more takers. Most people get uncomfortable about signing up for things they don't have enough information about.

What charity will be benefited?
What role will the twins have?
Will Kate interact with the fans outside the events?
What fees are included and what fees aren't?
Can Kate cancel if she breaks a fingernail or does it have to be something serious?

Just some of the big questions I would have if I were a sheeple before forking over one dime to these people.

Oh wait, but the bodyguard thing? Yeah, totally unwarranted. I mean, she might get mugged just cause she's there. It would have nothing to do with her being who she is. But so might I, and I don't have a bodyguard. So meh.

Hi, Y'll. Haven't visited in quite some time. Re above post I think Kate has no chance of being mugged, even in the poorest section of any town. Reason being the muggers would run away from that jaw snapping Sleveen.

Dear Anon,

You would be so fortunate to be as witty, articulate, intelligent, experienced as the ladies you attack in your post. Both are college educated, which you appear NOT to be, due to your in-cohesive ramblings, incomplete thoughts, poor grammar, and lack of punctuation.
The ladies you attack are college educated; one is an atty...what do YOU do?
If these ladies are OLD, as you say, gee, is that a bad thing? Usually with age comes life experience and wisdom.
No one forced you to read here, if you don't like what is posted here, there are plenty of blogs that are more to your liking.
And what's 'theropy"?

Oh, forgot to mention....HI KATE! :)

Midnight sheeple ramblings that's all this is.

Since I couldn't sleep, I decided to watch the Hollywood Story one on Kate and I noticed two major things.

1. Kate's voice used to be soft, she appeared more well-spoken back then not as outlandish in speech or manners.

2. If all she did was get a "good bra" why won't see state the name of the product? Whatever she says she did, evidence doesn't lie when it's looking you in the face.

Kate wants to give Steve the last slice nicely wrapped and, only touched by her hands.

I bet you guys are right. I bet Jon has the kids, so Kate is twitter silent. Wonder where she went for HER spring break?
Way to go, Kate. You did NOTHING on your stay-cation post. The kids stayed home the entire time. I bet the loved it though, they actually got to chill a little bit (well, if you let them sleep in and get some rest). What irritates me is that you profess all these great ideas for a stay-cation, and you didn't do one of them. You are a total fraud.

Aggie, unfortunately for Anonymous, there aren't plenty of fan blogs left. Only 2 that I know of, and both are pretty dead. I think that's why they're showing up here. To pick nits and fights.

Kate has such an inflated ego that she thinks only stars have bodyguards on top of the fact that she wants someone (like Jon) to boss around. My gut is that she is totally enthralled with Steve and I believe that if they have not slept together it's not for lack of trying on her part. I do not believe Steve dresses her. The slut look has totally been to make Steve hot. Women dress like that to get men's attention. I still think some hanky panky has gone on between those two in the early days or at the very least she had a crush on him and Jon sensed it. What galls me is Gina putting up with all this and even playing the role of Kate's friend. The rumors and our discussions of Kate and Steve's relationship is because she is heads over heels for the guy and it is so obvious. He, on the other hand, has kept his feelings under check. I don't get his sticking around either now that TLC is out of the picture. The money can't be great now.

TLC stinks said...

Yes, I agree she is Twitter silent because Jon has the kids. She has nothing to twat about if it's not about the kids.

My theory on Kate and Steve:

She started her transformation from mediocre mom to celeb slut when she started traveling not with Jon, but with Steve. Jon is on record as saying he thought there was something going on.
I do believe she led Steve on and did everything she could to get him to bed her. He was everything she wanted, an important guy, had an elite sounding job (not like the mediocre Jon, who was forced to stay home and wipe noses), and Kate decided it was time to move on to bigger and better things. She probably believed Steve was this all-important guy (ooh, his website says he has provided security, oh wow, he must be viral, rich, exciting, blah blah)..I guess Jon after a time was only seen as someone who didn't finish college, was only good enough to watch the kids, and whatever family money he had or she thought he had was gone, so there was nothing else he could provide for her to make her life what she thought it should be.
I don't think Steve is interested in her as a mate, I think he WAS interested in some available booty.
If it's still going on or not, I don't know. He might get off on making her beg for it on her hands and knees, but at the end of the day, he goes home to the wife and kids. Kate, thy name is Monica.

Hey, this is not Twitter. How about writing coherent sentences like a grownup.
