Why did Kate kept such a fun event hush-hush? Is she embarrassed to be spending the children's money on her custodial time while she simultaneously complains about not even being able to afford to take them to the movies and waxes on about buying clothes too big for them and not having any coupons for milk? Kate? You've been outed!

Hi, Steve. We see you there in the background channeling Kevin Costner.

Kate is kidding...Right? Does she really think we believe she needs a bodyguard?

I noticed no wedding ring on Skeve-O hand.

IMO...its obvious that there is a relationship between the two of them, and prob has been going on for years. But Grifty will never admit to it because it would prove that Jon was right about his hunch years ago, and that will 86 the good Christian girl image she tries to protray (whenever she feels like it, that is). No more "love offerings" or freebies from churches for the homewrecker.

If Skeve-O and Gina were married for 20 years, she prob got one hell of a alimony settlement, and if he was making $1,600.00 A DAY for guarding Grifty's lady parts, that would mean Gina leagally got $800 A DAY for getting her no-good cheating dirt bag of a "husband" out of her hair.

Maybe there is an iron-clad confidentiality agreement with the divorce settlement between Skeve and Gina, and she got a hefty sum of cash to stay quiet.

If she got rid of an asshole, and has $$$ in her pocket, thats a win-win situation.

Team Gina!

Twitter silence again. Maybe she's curled up in some corner of a casino, exhausted from making all those memories without her kids.

Gertrude McFuzz said...

Just a little FYI. The Country Music Awards are in Las Vegas this year. Does anyone else think that dress #3 will make an appearance there?
I'm just wondering out loud. Especially since Kate's bestest out of the best buddies on twitter (Taylor Swift) will be there?

Odds are 10-1 that Dress #3 shows up.

For $1600 you would think she could get something better....

Gertrude McFuzz said...

Notice how puffy ole Skeev-o is getting. He's stuffing food down his gullet to deal with the distraught emotions he gets from being around Kate too much.
Gee...didn't Jon do the same thing.
Kate is TOXIC!

My entry in the unofficial Photo Caption Contest - Photo #2:

The sad moment when Brad Garrett realizes he went from A-List "Everybody Loves Raymond" to Z-List "Everybody Hates Kate."

Jane said...

As far as Las Vegas openings go, this one was meh. Other than Ray Romano, the performers were close to unknown. Invitation only -- Kate's 'manager' (aka Steve) must have begged for an invite. I'm with others who think she's going to galumph down the red carpet at the CMA's on Sunday.



The comic hosted an invitation-only VIP show Thursday night to unveil Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club at Starlane Mall at MGM Grand. The comedy enclave sits in Starlane Mall, to be redubbed the MGM Underground, the entrance of which is just off the hotel’s main lobby. The venue is similar to the Tropicana’s in that the stage is back-dropped by a crimson curtain and the floor is strewn with round tables (seating two rather than the four-tops at the Trop). Garrett opted for more booth seating at the new club, a dozen at MGM compared with three at the old place, and the seating capacity is a cozy 283, a bit less than the Trop haunt.

This is Garrett’s second pass at operating a club in Vegas. He uprooted from the Tropicana, where he leased space for 18 months before checking out in December. A chance to tap into the rich marketing opportunities at MGM Resorts International’s bevy of resorts on the Strip swayed Garrett to make the move.

Thursday’s lineup was replete with favorites of Garrett, including sets by longtime friends Ray Romano (a regular headliner at Mirage) and Palace Station headliner Louie Anderson. Michael Somerville (who has been featured on Comedy Central and is due for an appearance on “The Late Show” with David Letterman), Jenn Kober (HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm”), Ralph Harris (NBC’s “Last Comic Standing”), Jon Manfrellotti (Romano’s and Garrett’s co-star from “Everybody Loves Raymond”), Dom Irrera (a talk-show and nightclub mainstay) and an unexpected set from Steve McGrew (“Full Frontal Comedy” on Showtime) filled out the night.

Silimom said...

Miss Kitty - At this point, aside from the lying, I could give a fig if Kate and Steve are sleeping together or not. If they are, and he is still married, then obviously Gina Neild has come to some sort of peace about it. There are some very good sleuths, both here and on one other site in particular, and if he was divorced, I would have thought it would have been discovered through public records by now. I suppose, if they are New Zealand nationals, the divorce might have occurred over there and I don't know if the records there are sealed.

As for no wedding ring, he's never worn one, to my knowledge.

I'm not sure what he would find attractive about her but to each their own. As for Kate, no one really cares if your stooping your bodyguard and you just look like an idiot for a) continuing to call him that and b) lyong about it.

That may be why she doesn't want to admit it - because if she does and the world goes "meh" it means she truly is irrelevant. And that would be the worst thing of all for her.

Choleric Kreider said...

New Zealand's divorce records are not made public.

Dmasy said...

If Steve and Kate are a couple (and I have never felt certain either way), they obviously know each other well. She would have no secrets from him. Something must have suited each of them.

However, if/when they come out -- NO one will believe the "...it just happened recently" spin.

chefsummer #Leh said...

I can see it now one of the 8 or one of Steve's kids will eventually expose them.

If they are a couple some day it will come out and their will be nothing either of them can do about it.

Silimom said...

Also in the Steve speculation line:

It is rumored he made $1600 a day. Admin, as someone who has been affiliated with the industry, is that a bit high? Supposing 20 days of filming a month, his monthly salary would have been around $32000 and annual would have been over $350,000.

I'm sorry but that seems very high and I can't believe TLC was making that much off her show in advertising. I thought the point of reality tv was that it was cheap to make. But again, Admin would have a better idea of what's reasonable in this business. I could see him making $150,000 but that just seems too much.

I suppose if he's only accompanying Kate on trips, she could be paying him to accompany her. One weekend would run her $6400 (2 days travel, 2 days event) She may have that included in her fee for paid appearances. For the Vegas trip, she probably picked up the cost because I don't see Brad Garrett paying her to come.

Kate no longer has the right to be called a 30-something year old. She is officially PUSHING 40!!!

Well, as someone who worked for a celeb who never once had a bodyguard, as someone who never even knew anyone else who worked for a celeb who had a bodyguard, and since I've only ever seen bodyguards out in public once, (for the governor's wife Maria Shriver and her kids--they were in suits and had ear pieces and were looking OUTSIDE the pet store they were in, not at her) I really have no idea.

Or Steve could be gay and see Kate as one of the guys-lol

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

I'd like to re-hash an old tweet of Kate's that is yet another example of her glaring hypocrisy. As she enjoys her long birthday weekend in Vegas with Ratclaws.

In June 2011, when there was a string of bad tornados, someone tweeted her about it. Her response? She would love to help the victims, but she just DOESN'T HAVE THE RESOURCES. I guess by that she meant the resources were all tied up in the "Kate's rocking' bday in Vegas baby" coin jar.

http://www.realitytvkids.com/2011/06/remarkably-kate-is-still-crying-poor.html

Silimom said...

Re: New Zealand records: Yes, you could find out if you are a New Zealand citizen. Divorce status is listed on the marriage certificate. A New Zealand citizen is issued a goverment ID and can then login to the records site and request a copy of Steve & Gina's marriage certificate. If they are divorced, it will be listed on the marriage certificate.

Just FYI off the marrige records site.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Since Gina just tweeted about going to see a show with Steve I think they are still together. If Steve is with Kate it could be one of those "we have an understanding" marriages that are so incredibly dysfunctional and unhealthy, and yet are sadly pretty common, at least out here.

Or maybe, I don't know, maybe he actually feels sorry for her. She has no one to go to Vegas with but him. Even if she did have a few friends or a sister or relative to go with, I can't imagine any of them would agree to go.

I can picture that phone call:

"Hey BFF Jamie/Aunt Jodi/Little Sis, how about a free trip to Vegas baby for my birthday???"

"Cool, when?"

"Thursday!"

"During the middle of the school week!"

"So?"

"I have kids, soccer practice, the dry cleaning to pick up."

"Get the nanny to do it."

"I don't have a nanny."

"Come on, pretty please...."

"Even if I had a nanny, I'm not leaving my kids in the middle of the school week to party. That's just not right. Thanks anyway."

What's Next? said...

Steve's a bodyguard alright, a bodyguard for anyone who has contact with Kate. He most likely does what he can to diffuse any uncomfortable situations that occur when fans attempt to engage Kate. He has to keep her (as much as possible) from exploding all over them. This is why he is at her side at all times to calm her and silence her outbursts. I'd say for the stress and abuse he takes $1,600 is a fair salary. I do think his job has, ahem, benefits, too.

chefsummer #Leh said...

Hey they all could be friends I hope that's the case.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

I think I'd believe they are all friends if they all take vacations together or do what normal family friends do which is hang out. Face it it's really not normal to do what Steve and Kate do. I'm sure there are exceptions to the rule, I'm sure a small minority of people can have such a relationship be strictly platonic, but it's unlikely.

Rule of thumb when you are a woman, a manager/assistant is best to be someone of your own gender, or a gay man. The celebs in Hollywood who have strong marriages don't PUT themselves in situations where that marriage could be compromised or even the appearance of it being compromised. The fact is you spend more time with your assistant/manager/bodyguard than you often do your own husband and family. My celeb had a string of female assistants for decades. Never a male. The current one she's had for 12 years. The female-female thing just WORKS. It's just wiser that way.

There was a time Gina and the boys were seen at the house on occasion but it's been awhile since that last happened.

Silimom said...

Admin, as I said I just am concerned about not letting Google track where I go, etc. because that's private and not for their profit.

It's really up to you. This will possibly cut down on the trolling but will also likely hinder people who are casual commentors. Your comment numbers will probably go down. There will also likely be less policing required on your part and that has benefit given that you have a life outside this blog.

Audible Click said...

Admin,please don't bring the anonymous option back.

Sorry if this has been said already, been busy and haven't read everything yet, but Kate has that adoring puppy dog look on her face and it looks ridiculous. I would expect that from a kid begging to get their way but not an adult.

chefsummer #Leh said...

It was three years ago that they were seen at Kate's

But then again Kate's a great liar Steve could be one as well.

@MiloandJack yes. It was funny. about 21 hours ago

I have a feeling she didn't find it funny at all.
If she did it would say YES!!! It was SOOO FUNNY!!! thank you @bradgarrett for a wonderful time!!!!!!

Notice not another tweet since then?

Sport said...

A longtime buddy of mine is an up and coming comedian. He lives in Vegas, has stayed with BG on numerous occasions and last year they 'toured' together for 8 weeks (Mostly Vegas and parts of Nevada and California.) He has told me that BG is a fantastic guy, super cool and other than being 9 feet tall fairly normal and approachable.

He is out of the country doing a gig on a cruise ship until the 4th but I am VERY much looking forward to asking him to get the scoop on The Shrew from Brad. Will report back later in the week when we speak...

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Sillimom I'm afraid Google can track where you are going even if you post using "anonymous". I think it's a cookies thing. They can see your browsing patterns and try to post ads relevant to you. But it's probably not some nosey person watching you, it's probably all logarithms. Logarithms don't care about you, lol. It's really not that much different than posting a perfume commercial for those who watch Real Housewives, and posting a tire commercial for those watching football.

Right now blogger only allows you to disable Anonymous and Name/URL together. I want to just disable anonymous because it's too hard to follow all the anonymous comments. I have searched the internet trying to come up for a hack for this, there must be a way to do it, you can hack so much else on blogger surely you can hack this. Can anyone find it??? Thanks in advance.

Lauren said...

@ tweedle #34 She is replying to this tweet from Milo

Fired Up 4 Kate ‏ @MiloandJack

· Open

@Kateplusmy8 I heard U were the subject of some of the routine...care 2share a few? LOL

She doesn't want to share any jokes, just blandly says Yes It was funny. Although I'm sure she's not happy about the picture either

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

The jokes were about how she can't get work, at least some of them.

Narcissists often don't take jokes very well. I've been the recipient of a lot of blank stares while everyone else around the narcissist is laughing. On the extreme end, some narcissists are constant jokesters. Apparently you are either one extreme or the other:

"Narcissists have little sense of humor. They don't get jokes, not even the funny papers or simple riddles, and they don't make jokes, except for sarcastic cracks and the lamest puns. This is because, lacking empathy, they don't get the context and affect of words or actions, and jokes, humor, comedy depend entirely on context and affect. They specialize in sarcasm about others and mistake it for wit, but, in my experience, narcissists are entirely incapable of irony -- thus, I've been chagrinned more than once to discover that something I'd taken as an intentional pose or humorous put-on was, in fact, something the narcissist was totally serious about. Which is to say that they come mighty close to parody in their pretensions and pretending, so that they can be very funny without knowing it, but you'd better not let on that you think so. [Interestingly, this is the only trait on this list about which there seems to be any controversy. Maybe I've just been unlucky! I've known narcissists who'll make fun of others, repeat jokes they've heard others laugh at, and laugh at jokes when others laugh, but knowing how to make people laugh is not necessarily the same as having a sense of humor.]"

It really bears repeating this article is a must read especially now that Kate has settled into her new I-don't work I just ho around" role, she is fitting even more strikingly into the characteristics of a narcissist.

__________________________________

I agree and it's a PITA to have to match-up long-time regulars w/ their new names and really takes away from the experience of posting here.

And, now, at least for the moment, I can tell you, Sue Buddy, how outstanding your current article is...they just get better and better.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

I think for now I'm going to be very strict about anonymous comments and delete them all even if they are appropriate. You've been warned! :)

Aeduko said...

Looks like Admin changed it back so people who didn't want to sign up for an account (like me) could post a response to her question?

I don't like it, only because I'm really sick of software providers using their doohickeys to check on you. I mentioned I terminated my facebook account due to them asking me if I wanted to friend someone who I had never interacted with on facebook, didn't know was on facebook (so I suspect he didn't know I was either), and probably wouldn't have sought out. The only way they'd know of any connection between us was to look at my email. How did they get my password and in?

So I don't want to sign up for an account, and probably won't. I understand your concerns re anonymous (and share them), but I guess I don't care enough about posting at this point to get an account. But I also have concerns about privacy here, especially with a person named Troll Tracker who apparently checks on posters to make sure they aren't closet fans or something. That makes me hinky too.

I bet it will slow your hits and certainly impact posting; are you seeing change already? Seeing as you changed back so quickly, is it something simple to flip a switch from No Anonymous to OK Anonymous? Bottom line is I guess you have to choose. Rock or hard place?

honkytonk said...

I don't think she is still in Vegas. I think she is back in PA but she is not tweeting becauase the kids are not with her, they are probably with Jon since it is his weekend (I think). Also, if memory serves, a lady emailed her a couple of weeks ago about attending a benefit which is tonight and guess who will be the photographer there?!

Thanks so much JudyK, and thank you all for reading. Not too long ago I thought Kate might stop tweeting, but since she never quits, never says never and learns anything, she'll stick around so I might as well too.

Aeduko said...

Oops! Spent so much time typing I didn't see your response to prior poster Admin.

I don't think she is still in Vegas. She is probably back in PA but is not tweeting because it is Jon's custody weekend (I think).

&&&&

That's not the only way they could have done that.

Facebook uses complicated logarithms that are able to predict who you might be friends with based on who you are friends with and who the other person is friends with, who you and the other person interact with the most on Facebook, and other things in common like workplace, high school, college, etc. For instance as soon as I added my high school all of a sudden I got lots of friends suggestions from that year and high school. It has nothing to do with peeking into your address book like big brother.

Not saying the internet isn't crossing boundaries, but I doubt that's how they matched you with their friend.

Gift of grab said...

Sue_Buddy, question for you. When I google Kate Gosselin, almost all of the "fawning" Gather.com articles come up in the list of the moment. However, YOURS never do. Any idea why that is?

Aeduko said...

Admin: I wondered about that, actually. Maybe I should be pleased facebook cares about who I'm friends with, but I didn't like it. LinkedIn does the same thing and I dumped them too. At least I'm consistent. :)

Aeduko said...

Oh I'm cracking up now! When the page refreshed after I just posted my response to Admin, what shows up on the ads? Norton Internet Security!

They know. They all know. :)

readerlady said...

Admin, I had no problems posting, but I've had a Google account for some time. Other than those few months when Blogger refused to recognize my Google account, and I had to post as anonymous and sign my posts, I've never had a problem here. I agree with JudyK it's a PITA trying to figure out all the new posting names for the regulars, though. It's nice to be able to read here without fear of a Troll attack, but if it prevents regular posters from participating, is it worth the protection? I'm glad you're Admin and not me, LOL.

Sport, I'll be interested in hearing what your friend reports from BG regarding KK, and also knowing WHY she was issued an invite to the show.

Rhymes with Witch said...

It appears that you have decoupled anonymous from Name/Url. That ouwld be awesome if it works.

I was about to open a Google or g-mail!! I think either way trolls can get on here..best to ignore or delete although that's a pain in the arse for you too ( right Sue B?)

*did anyone mention how Brad is not putting his hand around Kate's waist the way people normally do, but has his fingers curled shut to avoid full contact?

Could someone please explain this to me as if I was a five year old? Please!

Admin., if your able to block particular names when they misbehave why can't you also block the name "anonymous"? It seems to me you could but I really don't know.

************************************************
Can you clarify this?

What I read on Brads face is, "do I really have to do this"? I also see one of those speak bubbles above his head "Yuck, I'm not going to look down, I'm not going to look down".

Once a Viewer said...

Sue Buddy: another great article. It's true I can read these since I asked for your link. I have not seen them on the Internet by googling ;(

I HATE those celebs gather things.! Kate ain't no celeb. The writers are fawning idiots,like Effie....

N.E. Psychologist said...

Actually, Troll Tracker was trying to help by clarifying that someone who posted as NE Dulcina was NOT me. I want to apologize, especially to folks that I have "known" for a while from gwop, Zs and here, but I am retiring both these names and will be choosing a new moniker.
The harrasssment from the imbecilic wenches is one more stressor in my life that I do not need.
I do need to add: You ALL rock.

chefsummer #Leh said...

Admin has a good blog that's why the comments keep coming.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Why don't I just get a tracker? Because I don't believe in tracking people. Period. I will either figure out how to ban anonymous without seeing who they are, or I will just deal with them.

LaLaLandNoMore said...

Does anyone really know if Steve, the bodyguard, is married or not? Why couldn't Kate take a dear friend such as bestest friend Jamie to Las Vegas instead of using a man who is supposedly married? So many questions to be answered. The woman is despicable and delusional at the same time.

Barb Gilman said...

Kate must not Google her name. When someone on Twitter said she took a great picture with Brad Garrett. She responded with 'link please'. It's so easy to find! I'm sure her children can all do this.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Aeduko, the friend finder doesn't really bother me on Facebook. To me it's no different than meeting someone who went to the same college as you and saying, oh do you know Shawn? And when they say oh yes I do, you discover you have a mutual friend.

Facebook does the same thing only over the internet now. They discover that the two of you know Shawn, so they match you together. Meh, no different than real life.

I'm only speaking about that I am well aware there are other privacy concerns on the internet and fb, but to me, that is certainly NOT one of them.

As for me though, I cannot see any of your info even if you sign in. It doesn't matter if you want to just type Bob or sign in as Bob, I can't even so much as see your email.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

To further clarify, I can only see what you see. That is, when you click on your name and it goes to your Blogger profile, if you left it empty it's empty for me too. If you choose to put stuff in there I see that too. I see what everyone else does. Blogger has been very strict about not giving admin's much ability to vet their commentors.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Barb she's just lazy. She would rather a sheep dump the photo in her lap rather than go searching for it. That's Kate.

njay said...

Kate's laugh just looks too forced. Every time I see her laughing hard I think that. It just doesn't look natural.

Thanks for asking about sign in options, Admin. I prefer to be able to sign in as 'Jane' without being logged into Google or any other site where personal info might be taken or tracked. In the past, I worked for AOL as a Ranger (anyone remember those?!) and was responsible for moderating and banning in chat rooms and on message boards. A batshit crazy person found out who I was and to make a long story short and keep things mostly private, the police had to get involved. What was even more frightening was that she lived three towns away. So when I see CJ and Milo and Ziggy and the IWs etc I feel for those who've been outed and harassed. It's very unnerving, very scary and potentially harmful. Truly, there are unstable loons around and I've learned to keep a quiet Internet footprint.

Whatever you decide, I'll still be here!

Actually, Troll Tracker was trying to help by clarifying that someone who posted as NE Dulcina was NOT me. I want to apologize, especially to folks that I have "known" for a while from gwop, Zs and here, but I am retiring both these names and will be choosing a new moniker.
The harrasssment from the imbecilic wenches is one more stressor in my life that I do not need.
I do need to add: You ALL rock.

Off topic but I watched my first episode of PW today. And no, I don't think her kids are exploited.

The episode was mostly PW in the kitchen making high calorie stuff. There were a few 5-second clips of the boys herding cattle. They didn't speak and you could barely see their faces. Then at the very end of the episode for about 30 seconds the family all ate together. I still don't know her kids' names, their ages, or their personalities. I still don't know a thing about them. I've never seen their bedrooms, or even so much as what they do around the house other than herd cattle. They didn't even speak, or at most said This is good mom! Nothing different than any other food network show where the kids are brought in at the end to eat, none of those bother me either.

I'm simply unable to lump this kind of thing in the same category of a reality show ABOUT the kids like Kate Plus 8. If Kate would have made Kate Plus 8 all about herself with the kids only appearing at the end to eat her crap food, there would be a lot less to say.

Admin - I too caught a little bit of Prairie Woman today. It was ok, not something I'd tune in for regularly. It seemed like the close up camera angles were excessive. And from what I had heard, I expected her husband to be way better looking. LOL He was ok. She said her "strapping husband" was cooking steaks on the grill. Ok . . .it's just not my thing I guess.

Appreciate being able to comment with just the name - I thought I was back to reading-lurker only status, lol.

Is there not a way to remove Anonymous option? Surely it's more work for you otherwise. :(

Due to what I see at my job, I have always refused to use FB, Twitter, Gmail - no matter what they tell you about privacy. There is no way I would have personal accounts on any of these sites anymore. So many people don't mind, and that's just fine - it's just a personal comfort level - but I'm not comfortable at all with it even more strongly than in the past...so I appreciate the name option, Admin. :)

I've had a google account for the last two or so years with no problems logging in to blogger but recently a page came up when I was signing in that said there has been 'unusual activity' on my account and I had to provide Google with my ph # in order for them to call me with a security code to use along with my password. I don't think I'm on any terrorist watchlist or anything maybe I am who knows, but I do like the idea that if someone is trying to hack my account google is on top of it. I don't know who would want to do that anyway because I'm so goddamn lovable that if only Kate could meet me, she'd invite me on the cruise free of charge. :0)

Lol her husband is so not good looking. He has no personality and seems almost effeminate. Puny. But that's love I guess. Her love story is that she picked him out in a bar. I wouldn't have looked twice at that guy. Not even once. I don't care if he has millions, I would have to share his bed....noooo. The camera angles were making me dizzy. Channeling little big head there. Thankfully PW has a normal sized head. It's her weird chin that is distracting. hehe Probably won't watch again but I see nothing wrong with what they show of the kids so far.

LeeLee said...

My take on the Kate/Steve relationship has always been that she likes him more than he likes her. They could have nothing more than a professional relationship or they could be sleeping together, but either way, Kate's attached to him in a way that doesn't appear to be reciprocated. I'd like to think that Steve is faithful to Gina, and their marriage is strong enough to weather the rumors for the paycheck. However, if he never led Kate on in anyway, she would have moved on by now, and found someone else. Everyone else in Kate's life has been dumped the second they stopped giving her what she demanded. Yet Steve's literally the last man standing. He's giving her something she wants, and he's getting paid. Quack, quack, quack.

I love the account requirement. It's easy to create an account just for posting, it took me all of a minute. It's much easier to follow the discussion now.

As for Kate and Steve being here? As long as they stay on the strip, I'm happy. I avoid it like the plague.

AuntieAnn said...

Tweet-le De - I thought so too. I couldn't get to my gmail either, which is different than the email addy I use for blogger.

And I've noticed the last couple of days blogger is quite glitchy. Magic tricks...comments appear and then poof they're gone.

Ex Nurse, 74 - sorry about your wrist. When you are able to type, tell us what happened.

AuntiAnn, 76 - you are goshdamn lovable. All of us here know that!

Sooverit said...

My guess about Kate & Steve is that she wants him, but he won't commit. They're probably doing the boom-chicka-bow-wow, but it's a classic case of he's having fun being wanted and getting some, but he won't leave his wife. It's a game of conquest for Kate. No never means no, after all. If she ever does get to claim him as hers she'll be back to her old emasculating self in no time. I could be way off - that's just the vibe I get from my distant perspective. Speaking of which - I haven't heard her talk about wanting a man in a long time.

Aeduko said...

Thanks for your responses, Admin. I'll tell you anything you want to know about me! :)

Audible Click: I know there there's a group of fans who apparently put on their Secret Decoder Rings and Sherlock Holmes hats so they can go google and whatever else they do to track down people who post things they don't like about Kate. I'm not invested enough to give a damn about any of it, and don't really pay attention. However, when the anonymouses really were hitting the fan here someone named Troll Tracker would post "don't feed the trolls" type comments, but in the last thread (or maybe the one before?) TT made a comment about a poster stating that she was OK or something like that. My radar blipped, and I wondered how the heck does she know that? And then I thought because she's probably got whatever tracking software those other people use, or something else to that effect.

OK, now I'm going to put more tinfoil in my mouth and go back to watching for the black helicopters. (Tinfoil messes up their radio signals, you know). :)

So since, I am assuming this was a birthday trip for her, Kate should have no problem taking her kids to Florida again for an 8th birthday surprise come early May. But watch, the kids will not go anywhere for their birthday.

charlottsmom said...

I don't see how she can still not admit to the affair. How come there are no pictures or eyewitnesses? It's baffling.

Dmasy said...

Marie, 92 - unfortunately, you are probably correct. The kids will probably be treated to a birthday stay-cation! Kate will make another lopsided cake and recycle last year's hats. Sorry for the kids. Kate will be sad that there are no memories to be made for the 8th birthday.

I see now it's delaying posts. I had to rewrite a previous comment. Geez maybe I'll just drop blogger id altogether if it's going to be that much of a pain.

AuntieAnn said...

Aeduko - Haha. I'd lend you my tinfoil hat but I'm scared to take it off.

You just reminded me of that movie "Signs" where Joaquin Phoenix and the two kids were sitting in the closet with those hats on. lol.

Permanent Name said...

Silimom,

I made a separate and new "Permanent Name" google account just for this blog.

It's not connected to anything else and I didn't fill out any of the info asked for except for my name (Name, Permanent and new google email using that name).

Who knows, but I think that keeps me private.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT... as I try to send this I now once again have the option of 'name' or 'url'. Admin, did you change things back to old way?

Ex-Nurse, so sorry to hear about your wrist.

There's a poster on Radar who swears Steve has been divorced for more than one (1) year now. The poster has repeated it numerous times. Who knows or cares, but it's interesting speculation.

I will either figure out how to ban anonymous without seeing who they are, or I will just deal with them.

-----------

Have you tried tagging "banned" users' comments as spam (instead of deleting the comment) to train your spam filter to recognize that user as "spam"?

From my personal experience here, once you've been in the "spam folder", there are some occasions where my comment would immediately get rejected...without breaking any of the rules or using certain words that might trigger the "spam filter". It hasn't happened in a long time, since you've "unspammed" my comments, but maybe this will help somewhat.

It's too bad that Blogger doesn't have the option, like in WordPress, where you can register a username for a specific blog. You'd still have to provide an email address to create an account, but you wouldn't have to register with Google, Facebook, etc.

Did anyone catch 20/20 last night? I'm catching up this morning. They had some great stories about lottery winners and how some people did great things with it and are very happy and others ended up miserable.

I loved the story of the 20-something woman who kept working at her job as a waitress and kept her same boyfriend and same roommates. She even said sometimes I wonder why I won the lottery when I'm such a happy person and still want to work, I didn't really need this.

I think the bottom line is if you have your life in order before the money you will probably be fine. But if you're counting on the money to make your life better you might be in grave danger. Kate unfortunately falls into the latter group of people when bestowed with a windfall.

readerlady said...

A determined person can manage to find you regardless of where you post. I read a lot and used to have a public profile on Amazon (with, I thought, no personally identifying information), because I reviewed the books I read. One day I read absolutely the most badly written book I had ever had the misfortune to pick up. I wrote an unfavorable review of it. Somehow, the author managed to identify me and obtain my email address. For weeks I was harrassed by some of her author buddies, with all kinds of obscene and threatening emails. I did report her to Amazon, but finally had to change my email address to put a stop to it. Needless to say, I took down my profile there. I still participate in a couple of their book discussion threads, but have nothing identifiable there any longer and no longer review the books I read.

Enough about me, I hope you and your family are coping well. As much as we miss our loved ones after we watch them go through whatever precedes their passing, it is a comfort to know they are now in the nurturing care of an even Greater Love.

I think these occasional 'appearances" like this one, the RC, Syrius radio, the speech at the handicapped convention (?) keep Kate deluded into maintaining her thoughts that she is somebody, a celebrity people want to see and hear.In between she sticks to Twitter fan adulation and the occasional pap (?) picture getting gas etc and her CC glory. I don't think she's fulfilled as a mom at all, just in reflected 'glory' when someone compliments a recipe etc.. But she will not change, just will while away her time and money waiting for that something wonderful that 'has to happen' No looking for work, not living like a mediocre person, no joy or happiness with her kids. Idk about Steve- he doesn't make her happy either- and how could she make him happy????

Ex Nurse - so sorry about your wrist. Broken arm bones are even more of a pain when one enjoys Internet stuff! Hope you heal quickly.

Admin - Blogger doesn't have a ban feature? On Disqus, it's very easy to black list (ban) white list (allow) usernames, ISPs, email addresses. I'm sure it must be a huge pain to make a switch but it's really a very easy system to use.

We tried Disqus awhile back but it caused problems. I think it wiped out past comments if I recall.

Auntie Ann, there is no way Google needs your phone number, but with it, they can track more of your personal data.

More likely, you've been targeted by someone building a database.

Google is not keeping staff on hand to phone you to discuss security issues. They've got email for that.

Don't ever provide ANY personal information on the internet unless you know exactly who wants it, what it will be used for, and you 100% trust the entity asking.

No you don't lose track of races you sign up for since you are always getting ready for them, when I sign up for multiple big races a year each race helps me prep for the next one and so it's all part of a detailed training plan.

Of course, Kate lost track on her marathons, cause she was bizzy. Getting ready for her trip.
I'm sure, most of the readers at Runner's World are in total, disgust, after they featured her in their mag, as a runner. Some runner,, I bet she has hardly ran all week. And lied about the times she did.

That pic of her with Brad, she looks like she is drunk. And she looks like Lindsay Lohan.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

I think it's easier to lose track of things that are just handed to you on a golden (silver) platter. When you don't save up for things and pay for them yourself you can lose your sense of a stake in them. I think you lose your sense of value in them and might very well forget when is coming up when. Just like a child who gets confused about vacations parents plan.

I think a vacation that you saved up for in the coin jar all year and talked about has to be far more rewarding than one just sort of dumped on you as a freebie. They've actually one studies about how the anticipation of the vacation is when people are happiest--not actually on the vacation or even after the vacation reflecting back on it.

As opposed to some half assed, self indulgent semi schedule that allows you to refresh your makeup before you cross the finish line.

I just have to add, the Kate looked more "refreshed" crossing the finish line in the Vegas marathon than she did in those recent pics of her running errands.

She's still running.

Running off to NYC

Running off to DC

Running off to LV

That's her training schedule.

Gift of grab said...

Here's what I don't get: Kate goes off to Vegas with Steve. What is the purpose? If this was, by the stretch of anyone's imagination, some sort of "work," then why wouldn't she have talked about it on Twitter? Wouldn't the "promotion" aspect have been important, either for the event itself OR for her?

No, she skulks off, throws out a couple of tweets on Weds., then does NOT reappear until it's 100% clear that (1) she posed for a number of photos on Thurs. night and (2) said photos are very likely going to turn up where her "observers" will see them. So then she does a drive-by, gushes a few comments, and promptly disappears.

On what planet does this constitute "work"? If what you are doing is maximizing your "profile," then why, after you and your bodyguard fly all the way to Vegas, do you ONLY make a couple of cursory comments about an opening you went to? If she was paid to do this, by whom and for WHAT?

Sorry, I am having a very hard time figuring this out. Either you are in the "appearance" business, and therefore you pose, you get snapped, and you talk about what you're doing, or . . . was this just a birthday treat just for you, which you paid for yourself? Or did someone comp you as a b'day gift? Does anyone out there have a sensible explanation for what she is up to?

PatK said...

Like I said before, this provided her with no income with which to "support her kids". In fact, it did the opposite...it took FROM them.

Paper Plates Forever! Yay! said...

Boy, Kate is determined to stay in TV. Any invite to anything she will take as long as it keeps her name out there. The question is how long will this go on for?

One more thing. Whether people like it or not, Kate is considered pretty and attractive in the media world. I know some people will freak out at the thought but her looks are definitely carrying her a long way. Sometimes I cringe when people on this blog say horribly juvenile things about her looking like a "tranny" and the like because it demeans this blog in my opinion. Sorry for insulting anyone who chooses to comment this way.

Jumping In said...

I did wonder about the Turks and Caicos rumour, a destination not suited to Kate whatsoever, too quiet and too refined for her; those sparkly dresses would be way over the top there.

Someone posted here that they thought Kate would get her money's worth and stick around for the CMA's tomorrow night. I agree it would be hard for her to leave Vegas knowing she might be able to rub shoulders with more celebrities. How often will she have this 2 for 1 opportunity staring her in the face. I would be surprised if she was indeed home.

This woman is so blinded by any possibility of being with someone famous, everything else just falls away. Her 8 children stand in the shadows until she needs to pull them out for her own advancement. The picture of she and Brad Garrett says it all, she looks in complete awe of a Vegas comedian, after all it was he who invited her, see...she still remains relevant, and she has the pictures to prove it!

Radar just posted 3 pics of Jon's home in the woods! Why on earth did they do that?? It just makes me mad that his privacy has now been breached after 2 or more yrs. of living a somewhat quiet life. I guess the announcement of the book and the trip to LA gives them the right to stalk him!

I don't know what exactly they are trying to prove. It is a modest home by most standards, and I don't know if they are complimenting him or making fun...Either way, I wish whoever did that would at least give the kids a break and stay away from there! It just never ends....

chefsummer #Leh said...

Who in there right mind would pay for her and Steve to come out there.?

It's not like she really on TV anymore and she hardly ever promotes anything on her twitter or website so what's the point.?

Once a Viewer said...

Well,151, I personally thought Kate WAS fairly pretty, but I don't like her new 'look.' and the work she has had done,like Botox, good bra. I think she looked younger, fresher, cuter before. The image is more what I don't like. I can see people thinking she's attractive; I just happen not to like that look. But I will say I liked her look before( as we said, around tummy tuck/make-over time)

Won't Khate be off conning mother's of disabled children on the six's birthday?

Ex Nurse feel better! My mom broke her wrist once and was surprised by how much she actually uses that part of the body lol. At least in a few weeks you'll appreciate freedom of the carpal bone.

Any time I ever mention money and the issue I always hear, "to provide, to support," in this term all I hear her talk about is the cost the money of raising someone. Yet I would think anyone who has kids sees that it takes more than just money to raise a child. Then again she seems so incredibly one sided that money is her ultimate goal for her and her kids. I just think possibly their is more to life than making a paycheck to pay bills to keep a home for your kids.

I mean ever since TLC cancelled her I haven't seen her "provide," her kids with any other social interaction other than going to an empty park. Not everything kids needs will cost you an arm and a leg.

Her goals of making memories, she goes places, does things which is all well and good but memories are those things that are personal to you and are not just one thing, they are those emotions and feelings that come with the memory not just, "We rode horses in Australia, it was once in a lifetime." Kate's view of once in a lifetime just, well, doesn't fit to a persons everyday standard of memories they may or may not find special.

Something special to her kids might be just holding her hand on a walk, seeing Kate smile at them will be a pleasant memory for her kids not just what she thinks they'll remember.

But then again, she seems more interested in chasing her "career" than she does her kids. You can have a career and still be a good mom I think. I don't think she sees it as this way.

On the other issue of Steve, I think if Steve had a problem with all the gossip they are a couple maybe he would have said something? Fact that he hasn't said anything that I know of says to me he's comfortable with letting people believe what they want real or otherwise. Doesn't help that Kate still takes him everywhere she goes just about. I've never known a celebrity to take their bodyguard on friendly terms to a show.

Jumping In said...

I did think the Turks and Caicos rumour was false. This destination is far too quiet and too refined for Kate, her sparkly dresses would be way over the top.

Someone posted here that they thought Kate would stick around for the CMA'S tomorrow night, and I agree. She could not leave Vegas knowing there would be another chance to rub shoulders with more celebrities. This has to be a 2 for 1 deal she cannot resist, AND she can blog about it on Coupon Cabin!

This woman will do whatever it takes to stay relevant, everything else just fades away. Her 8 children are shadowy figures until she needs them to further her career. No-one, least of all her children, will stand in her way back in to the spotlight, no-one! That photo of her looking at Brad Garrett adoringly says it all, these are the moments that really matter to her.

My money is on her being at the CMA's tomorrow night, sparkly dress # 3 ready to go.

Gift of grab said...

Tamara, unless she has to be there VERY early for some reason, she should be around for the birthday. The event is on May 12, kids' b'day is before that (right?).

Rhymes with Witch said...

She'll probably have the audacity to tell them she can relate because one of her children wears glasses. Blech.

Yeah, she's still in Vegas:

What will CC think of Kate's 'vacation' when she told the site's readers that she had to have a 'staycation' with her kids? How can they possibly justify anything she recommends or pitches ? Even if it was a freebie she had to spend some money no doubt. And pay for someone to watch the kids.

ncgirl said...

Kate's playing cards in Vegas. It seems like she wouldn't be interested in something like that unless there's something in it for her. I guess this is at some casino. I wonder if she has Steve blow on the dice for good luck. Kate's next career: professional card player.

Gift of grab said...

Once a Viewer, I tend to think her flagrant hypocrisy is not important to CC. If it were, then something would have been done/said by now! No, I think those who speculated she was brought on for hits--as opposed to meaningful content--were correct.

Sooverit said...

I laughed out loud when I saw that pic of Kate looking up at Brad G. There in the background is the top of little old Steve's head. It's like a game of Where's Waldo. We can always find him somewhere around Kate. It's so amusingly pathetic.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Oh great now she's gambling the kids' money away too? Nice.

I feel very bad for her fans, I really do. She's been outed, she's in Vegas. So why not at least tweet them once or twice today to include them in all her fun?

Oh but noooo she's with RatClaws and gambling with perfect strangers and having the time of her life and fans, what fans?

She is a selfish pig who doesn't deserve one fan let alone the eight she has.

Rhymes with Witch said...

What's so astounding is that her fans believe that SHE DESERVES all this. Why? It's unfathomable.

Sooverit said...

Have you all seen the show Clean Freaks on HGTV? It just came on, and I'm in awe! These people are ultra organized. Puts Kate to shame. Too bad she wasn't able to follow through on that busy-organized-mom thing.

Anonymous said...

How many vacays/getaways does 1 mother 'deserve' in 1 freaking year?? Especially a SAHM? Kate do this once a month and the sheeple would bleet "She deserves it! She's a hard working mother of 8, who never leaves her kids cuz she's a SAHM!"
The hypocrisy.

Tamara said...

What's also astounding is that anyone believes Khate owes her 'fans' anything. There is absolutely no reason she needs to "include them" in her fun.

Jumping In said...

Yes, there's Kate sitting at a Black Jack table, filling in time before tonight's show, grifted tickets I'm sure. Then, tomorrow night, the GMA's; she is in celebrity nirvana, the closest she has been in awhile. Those kids of hers are not even close to being on her radar screen, they are a drudgery she is happy to leave behind. When do we ever see her smile at home the way she has in Vegas?

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Tamara, I never said she owes her fans anything. But her fans are devoted to her despite incredible odds. Some of them are paying obscene amounts of money to be with her in August. They clearly salivate to hear from her.
The least she could do is not leave them hanging for three days while she frolics around in Vegas. It's rude, it's selfish, it's hypocritical, it's mean, hand it demonstrates just how much she really cares about the fans she claims she loves (yes, she used the word love when talking about Paige). She uses them just like everyone else and some of them have woken up to it, others never will.

Hi Em Tanner, good to see you join us and yes it's working now. Sorry I couldn't help you over email all I know is comments work for me. :)

Your 37% off sale was wicked, a lady with a sense of humor.

By the way if anyone is wondering that really is Em Tanner, she had emailed me from her official email saying she was having problems commenting. :)

It looks like that sandradee7777 account is fake. Seems like it is already gone????

emma love said...

The sandradee tweet is suspicious to me because she tells Kate she's sweet (huh?) and beautiful. I'd know for sure that Kate tweeted herself if she also mentioned how thin she is too. Eye roll.

Dmasy said...

I don't see a post from EM Tanner. Maybe one will pop up later. But, welcome to this site lady! I can't wait to receive the monogramed mugs and tray that I ordered for a wedding gift. Thanks.

ncgirl said...

Do celebs get free stuff in Vegas for their birthday? Does Steve tell the Vegas people that it's Kate's birthday, she's had such a hard time with the terrible ex husband, eight kids, no job. Or maybe Kate thinks networking in Vegas will help her find work?

Mixed Ble$$ings said...

Does anyone remember the item on Blind Gossip about the reality "stars" who went to the head honchos and, in spite of the fact one was still married to someone else, BEGGED to come out on the show as a couple?

Was the item ever solved?
Does anyone know how I could find the item now?

Thanx in advance.

Anonymous said...

If people quit indulging Kate she might learn to stand on her own two feet, get a job, take responsibility for her negative attitude and learn to get along with Jon.

Still boggles my mind she expects people to hand her things jut because the number of kids she has. That she feels okay with being famous for just that. Anyone could be famous for being on television. I don't think Kate realizes she's famous for being infamous.


I just hope Kate doesn't go with a modeling dream or something equally ridiculous. I don't say it to slam her looks, I say it because her dreams of wanting this or that are a bit out there for her age. I personally would never pursue a modeling career but then again Kate does have "the look" that Hollywood prefers and the reputation of being difficult.

Hoping this post through, I've never had a problem with posting either by a name or Google account, I hope my last post wasn't offensive but I don't even see it.

I also saw it, but not the part about being married. It was revealed that the couple in question was Kate/Steve, and it was while Kate was still under contract w/ TLC. Have no idea how to find it now...mostly, because I don't care enough to look. Just wanted to let you know that I also saw it.

I have recently purchased a book from amazon and I keep getting an email saying they need my ssn to complete the sale. Ya know, tax and all they say. NO WAY!!!! The IRS or whoever can come for me if they want me to pay tax or what ever, but there is NO WAY I will ever give amazon my ssn.

Anonymous said...

@Rhymes with Witch, I didn't read what wrote to come across as a disagreement so no worries. Even if you did I would at least have the respect to allow that.

You are right, either she's going through money she already has or someone is paying. Either way I don't know how this will last.

Pity Party said...

Wow, I love Jon's house in the woods. He has a fireplace and I bet he uses too. I can see the kids being very happy to go there.

I think I might be having some kind of a breakthrough--I couldn't think of a thing to blog about respond to about KT. Then the house in the woods popped up.

njay said...

Sorry if topic has changed. I typed that and got distracted and forgot to push publish. Oh, I mean my last post. Oops. silly me!

foxy said...

I like Jon's new house. There were 12 kids in my family, 1 bathroom and 4 small bedrooms. You don't need alot of "stuff" to have a rewarding life. We all have college educations and are doing just fine.

I order from Amazon a lot. They would never ask for info like that. Also, if tax is applicable it is added in when you make your purchase.

I think Amazon has a link where you can contact them by email. You might want to forward that email to them.

Plus your SSN has nothing to do with sales tax, which is the only tax that would apply there. Sounds like a phishing email-and it probably has nothing to do with your order at all.

Gift of grab said...

I think the sandradee account was real. I looked at her Twitter timeline, she had tweets going back several months. It looks like she was tweeting to/for Yelp about various places she went, tweeting photos each time. Maybe the Yelp thing was a paying gig of some kind? I don't know how you would fake an account that had tweets that far back. And it doesn't really matter. I for one do not believe she is back home yet.

As for showing up at GMAs, that would be pretty funny. I don't believe she's close enough to Taylor Swift to get an invite from her. If she were, don't you think Kate would mention her a lot more? Kate is nothing if not a name-dropper. Even reflected celebrity helps stroke that huge ego.

It's interesting that it was Mac Duggal that outed her, though. I guess people would have stumbled across the Brad Garrett photo eventually, but it was the Mac Duggal tweet to her about the dress that brought her out. She thanked them AFTER the fact, so she can't have gone out there to promote them. I wonder how they hooked up with her as someone they should give free clothes to. Whatever's going on, it doesn't seem like a straightforward promotional deal. That would require the initiative to come from HER, wouldn't it?

That doesn't look like a current picture. The trees in this area aren't that leafy yet. Radar probably searched real estate records and found the pics on a real estate web site.

Wow njay, someone is messing with you. Stand your ground, or maybe even start over. I know many people who buy from amazon, myself included and have never heard of this. I'd suggest you also contact amazon.

Kate is a twit is correct. Amazon is NOT asking for your SSN, njay. It's a fraudster using an email address that looks like Amazon's.

NO legitimate retailer will EVER ask for a social security number in an email.

Never, never give personal information over the internet without knowing, for sure, who is asking for it, why, and how they will use it.

All personal information sent, for any reason, over the internet should always go through a web page, only, never email (which is completely INSECURE), and that web page address should start with HTTPS,not HTTP. The "s" in the address means the page is "secure".

Forwarding the email to Amazon probably won't be useful (millions are sent each day), but marking it as "spam" in your mailer will keep other emails from that IP address from turning up in your mailbox.

Many spammers use constantly rotating IP addresses, but it never hurts to mark a fraudulent message as spam.

Njay-
sounds like a phishing scam. Amazon NEVER uses ss numbers. I have been using them heavily for over 7 years and never had an issue. Please forward to them so they can follow up.
I just had an email from Amex fraud dept- or so they claimed- saying a charge of over 4 grand went on my card and I needed to contact them immediately. NO DEAL! I called AMEX directly and they asked me to forward the email- it was a phishing attempt.
Always call the company directly. Phishing scams look like the real companies- NEVER click on their links- or call their numbers.

Jon's new home is lovely and it looks as if it has at least three bedrooms. My four siblings and I shared one bedroom growing up, so this house is perfectly adequate for the children's time with their father.
