Kate is scheduled to be on Today this morning on NBC. Kate twittered that she will be "giving updates on my family and sharing my money saving tips from @CouponCabin!"
Perhaps Kate is also hitting up an Apprentice casting call for next season?

Kate on Today
Perhaps Kate is also hitting up an Apprentice casting call for next season?
1017 sediments (sic) from readers:
«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 1017 Newer› Newest»I won't watch. I will read about it later.
I'll watch....I'm in a good mood this morning. Even Blocky can't ruin it. What time is she on though?...did I miss it already? Busy morning for me but I'll try. You know I have 4 kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! count em.....4. I don't know how I do it????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HA
She has no money saving advice, for real, on her CC blog but we're supposed to believe she has great information to share on The Today Show? Please!
Will not watch because unlike Kate I have to work but I look forward to seeing a recap. Another 30 seconds of camera time for Kate is 30 seconds too much. Sigh....
Kate has alluded to something coming up the pike. She sounded secretive, so I don't think it's either Today, Coupon Cabin or half-marathon. I have felt for some time she's going to be on The Celebrity Apprentice. I don't want it to be true. I am sick of how she always gets what she wants and therefore never has to look within to recognize character flaws and make changes. Donald Trump will be looking to fill the evil cast member for the next season. Either he already is considering her or she will bombast him with a huge suck-up campaign while doing the Today Show together.
I'm watching the Today Show and Kate's going to be up soon. I don't think this will be a CA or DWTS announcement, rather, just "money saving" and maybe more stuff she'll be doing with Coupon Cabin.
Here's hoping Jon doesn't get more tire tread marks on him!
She's tee'd up on the studio chair, smiling and swinging her foot so hard that her shoulders are shaking.
When you are on a show with the "Tan Woman,"who allowed her very young daughter to tan in a tanning booth with burns, kind of makes you look you look hideous. Kate and Tanning Lady are both hideous in their treatment of their kids.
If Kate ends up on Celebrity Apprentice, I actually think it will be hilarious. The contestants hold no hostages, so she will be exposed for the fraud that she is, and don't imagine she will come out looking good at all. Kate talks the talk, but in this case, she has no talent and obviously does not get along well with others. I think the contestants would slice and dice her, and call her on some of her personal BS. No one will cater to her and she will hate it. Kids would not be included, so it is a win-win. Does she deserve it- NO. Will she go against people who don't suffer the "fool" well-YES! One more opportunity for Kate for show herself for the lazy, selfish, talentless prima donna that she is. After DWTS, you would think she would "get it," but she never does. And CA does like polarizing people for ratings- ie- Teresa G, Lisa L, and Aubry...
In short, Kate can once again show herself for the nasty, unhappy, talentless person that she is. Win-win situation. Although most of us think she should have disappeared by now.
It's 8 a.m. for me. Not watching Today. All Trump cares about is ratings, so nothing would surprise me.
I guess Coupon Cabin is paying for this NYC trip for her and Steve. How cozy!
Kate twittered-I'm on my way to @todayshow to give updates on what the kids and I are up to and to talk about saving money w/ @CouponCabin! Tune in on NBC! 23 minutes ago
----------
What else is new? Talking about your kids? You have NOTHING else to offer, and your CC blog also talks non-stop about your kids and yourself with very little to do about coupons- EVER! What a fraud and user. By now, she should have had something to offer up other than her kids, if she is so talented. What a loser!
I wouldn't mind watching Kate being exposed for the LAZY fraud she is on CA, but how in the world would she raise money for a charity? She has no friends or connections.
Maybe she can call the Today Show...they're the only idiots naive enough about her to give her the time of day.
Or, maybe she can suck a few dollars from the teenagers who follow her on Twitter.
zzzzz....
None of her tips were NEW. The only difference was she didn't throw Jon under the bus (maybe trying to remake herself by being kinder to him?).
Gotta go fold graduation programs at the high school - see ya!
Kate want a a new project with the kids included, is testing recipes, is doing the R & R marathon and is CC blogging.........
Kids are doing amazingly well with ... school. Is getting along and working with Jon now....
Still blundering in her speach... all of two minutes, if that. Pathetic and she looked extremely uncomfortable, IMO.
I thought I would summarize the interview for everyone. I can do it in one word...YAWN.
P.S.--Maybe Celebrity Apprentice will accept "coupons."
oh, and she did say that "they" were hoping for another reality tv show - the kids miss the travel & crew.
just viewed Kate, she took another op to throw Jon under the bus. She never takes responsibility that most of the dissension came from her, Not Jon. He was, unfairly,labeled a "douche." The more she lied the faster that leg bounced up and down.
Oh my goodness. Thanks for my morning laugh with your picture of The Donald. Hilarious.
As far as i can tell she apparently was on to announce the new coupon cabin app. Didn't do a very good job though,because all she talked about was herself and how wonderfully awesome the kids are doing in school, how they would love to be back on TV, and that she's running the RR marathon. Big yawn!!
Blah, Blah, Blah
Kids are great! Excelling in school!
Writing recipes and have 8 recipe testers!
Jon-- more peaceful, Jon's been more available and he's working with me. She wasted so much emotional energy during acrimonious time with Jon.
Folk, this is nothing, and I mean nothing that Kate hasn't tweeted and blogged about. Kids are great (and noting that Jon is better.. yeah right), she blogs for CC, she notes that buying online can be cheaper than going tot he brick and mortar store (duh, sometimes that's true, but then there's shipping...), she cooks from scratch, she packs 8 lunches every day, the kids will have the "friends" birthday in near future but did the chocolate cake and pool no matter if it's 40 degrees out.
Anne Curry interviewed her and seemed to be searching for good questions that would yield content in Kate's answers because this was a big goose egg. The gist of this was just a "catching up" interview and Kate's interviewing skills are sadly as bad as ever.
Kate's eye's darted to the left the whole time and she had little eye contact. Lots of "ums' and "honestly".
Oh, and Kate mentioned that the TLC contract is up and she really wants to get another Reality TV show WITH THE KIDS because fans want that and the kids reportedly miss the crew*.
So, I'd say the thrust of this media appearance was to fish for another show for her and the kids, because otherwise there was ab-so-lutely nothing new that anyone could not glean from Twitter, CC and her blog.
Jon, are you watching this????
*When Kate started to talk about the kids talking about filming and doing stuff and the crew and that they want to do that, Anne asked rather incredulously, "another show?" and Kate replied, "yes".
Trump is on with the CA winner, Arsenio. Trump says the odds are 5:1 for someone getting on CA. It's a big career reviver/booster and there are just not enough spots.
That could be Trump bloviating, but no mention of Kate as a potential cast member.
I truly believe that the kids DO want to go on trips and do fun things, and I'll bet that they vocalize that. But, it's not that they want to do all those things with cameras following them, they just want to get the hell off the compound and have a life outside of the 8.
I also believe that Kate has told them that without a show, they will not be able to do fun things anymore, so no wonder they ask to have the crew back!
Sorry I missed it...Sure she's desperate for another show with the kids. she knows that after all this time she has no offers for herself.... talentless bitch. She knows her only hope to get back on T.V. is to USE her kids again...So sick of hearing the kids miss the crew. THey probably forgot all about by now. This is all about her getting a paycheck and finally she knows she can't do it without them....just pathetic...kepp begging Kate...It's hysterical..
I have to add...the kids are not "cute" anymore. Thats why she was cancelled...people lose interest when kids grow up. So she can just forget it. I'm embarrassed for her...
On the Today Show appearance--first thing I noticed was that they didn't put her on at the end. Normally if someone is a big draw, they will wait until the end to put them on so that people will watch the whole thing, waiting for that big celeb to make their appearance. That wasn't her!
Another point--she wanted to "put it out there" that she'd do another show WITH the kids. Seems that Jon has backed down and she has figured out she's not going to get anything on her own. Of course, it's the KIDS who miss filming--yeah, right. I get the feeling that both Kate and Jon are feeling some financial pressure--they liked the big bucks from working in the media, so they're both hiring PR people and trying desperately to get their faces on TV so they can score some more big paychecks. Mediocre life is not agreeing with either one of them, and if they have to sell their kids to get the money they want, then so be it.
And yet another point--man, is she boring! Nothing to talk about. Nothing to offer. Snore!
And my last point--she looked like s**t! Too tan, flat stringy hair. And what has happened to her face? It's like it's permanently pulled down in to a scowl. I think she smiled when they first introduced her, but didn't seem to smile again at all. No personality, just...flat, miserable, desperate. Yuck!
As far as I am concerned I feel I just witnessed Kate Gosselin's last desperate gasp/grasp for something, anything to get her back on television. Ann Curry looked uncomfortable talking to her about absolutely nothing of interest. I almost choked when Kate said her fans were 'begging' for a show WITH the kids. The kids miss the trips, the crew, same crap, different day! You could SMELL the desperation!
Was her big announcement that she and Jon have a peaceful relationship now, and that he is 'working' with her now and being 'more available' Was that why the TODAY show wasted that air time?
No mention of her cancelled cruise, however we did hear about her half-marathon. Oh and she packs lunches to save money, and she cooks for 8 kids so she's putting her recipes together. Mindless blather done by a woman who is now begging for a television gig, she is SO done.
Do I need to adjust the color on my television, or is her hair bright yellow now?
Ms Kreider is as boring s ever.
Last nights celebrity apprentice finale was good, and I was happy with the outcome. I was so glad we got to hear clay sing! Love him!!
I work with HIV and aids patients, and was very happy the Magic Johnson foundation is getting money and exposure. People think HIV is not much of a problem any more, but it still is a huge problem esp in certain urban areas. Magic and his foundation do a lot of good work where it is needed.
I did not watch every minute of CA, so not sure if clay talked about his prior work much. He was a college student in education and worked with an autistic child part time. The child s mother is one of the people who encouraged him to audition for American idol. After his success on idol, after the tour, he went back to college to finish his final year and got his degree. The man has a real work ethic, and a real passion for working on behalf of special needs kids.
Yes, I am a claymate!! He is a truly nice man, even Lisa loved him! And she hates everybody!
I hope she not going to be on CS with Trump or DWTS all stars.
Please Kate go away from TV and stay away.
I'm thinking that Donald watched Kate's appearance today and figured out that she's not someone to even consider for CA. She showed no personality at all. Just blah. I wonder if she begged to go on the show today, knowing that he would be there and she could suck up and try to get on CA. If so, it backfired. As soon as the cameras were on her, everyone could plainly see that she has the personlity of a wet mop.
I didn't watch this morning, I don't watch morning tv shows, so see no reason to start! lol
Sounds like Kate has had a bit of a reality check if she now verbalizes she AND the kids need another reality show.
Ya know, making your kids work (and no, it's not playing in front of the cameras) for their own roof over their heads and the food on their paper plates is abusive. It's incredulous Kate has gotten away with it all these years.
And really? a birthday tradition to swim, regardless of weather? gee, I think LAST YEAR was the first yr to do this? This woman is a complete idiot.
I don't care if she does DWST or CA, I don't watch either show. There have been plenty of undeserving people on both. It would be great to see that Lisa L lady rip Kate a new one (someone I know watches CA and was always talking about her.)
Note to Kate: It's been three weeks since a Menu Monday. You better crack out the hamburger helper box, organic veggies and get to hammerin' out a recipe!
Kate just tweeted she is off to do Inside Edition. One upping Jon much?
Sheeple please explain to me how Jon is an "ass" for doing Inside Edition but not Kate. What say you now?
So she wants another reality show with the kids no surprise there.
Kate knows that she can't get her own show without the kids.
Hell it seems like she can't even get on a show without the kids how sad.
They announced the next CA contestants and Kate is not among them.
Will she please give it up about the kids wanting a new show? She's really embarrassing herself.
As far as I can tell the kids want to play lacrosse and read by the pool and normal things like that.
They announced the next CA contestants and Kate is not among them.
&&&&
Aww darn. What, she had a scheduling conflict again? (cough, BS!)
Glad I didn't watch. Apparently she was on just to pimp CC and herself. She most certainly didn't pay for that hotel room for her and Steve, the limo, etc. for this appearance.
So, we can assume she is working on a cookbook with healthy, kid friendly meals. So what? You can Google that. It will flop just like her other books. Perhaps a book proposal was what she mailed off? She so wants to travel and do book tours with her boobyguard. That's when I think they got "close".
Too funny that her "10" fans want her to be on TV again. Only in world of Kate....
Admin~Was it Inside Edition that she interviewed for a while back, at the Grove? If so, maybe this is a make-up kiss for the Segment That Never Aired.
And another thing: Why didn't she announce this taping earlier? Not that it matters to some of us, but her sheeple might just miss an opportunity to program their TV recorders. Oh noooeeesss!
Oh Lord, now she's on her way to Inside Edition. I wonder if Steve has his camera ready?
scratch that last comment, please and sorry.
Leg shaking that caused her whole body to shake? Looking off to the left, at Skeeve Pinkerton? Hmmm, don't need to be Sherlock to figure out those physical cues.
I was watching Morning Joe this a.m. and Forbes magazine came out with the top 10 reality personalities and what they earn. What the guy there said was interesting; that if not for Twitter and Reality TV, these people would have, in the past, faded away. The more Twitter followers you have, the more money they are paid to advertise. I'm sure CC considered that with Kate. I just wish there was some way to prove that she has been buying followers to enhance her numbers. Frankly, as an at-home mom, blogging for CC is a pretty good gig. She is just not a good spokesperson for them since it is a joke that she saves money. I think her shrieking about coupons on the show was the only reason they hired her.
Well she's got her ummmm's back.
Everyone look at Mama Mia's fake "recap" of Kate on today in the previous thread. She wrote it before it aired and it's not too darn far from the truth lol.
"We have chickens!" Hysterical.
If she was on CA she would be first one fired. She has no contacts to give her money for ANY charity. Also,she is not really connected to any charity,that is,none that would acknowledge her. I wonder how long it will take her to get home to little moneymakers. 2 days? But they are her life so why would she stay away longer than she has to?
Just watched the Today Show Video. Incredibly boring.
Just watched it.
There's NOTHING dynamic about her. Just dead energy.
Blah.
I have to say that Ann looked extremely uncomfortable. Kept rubbing her leg. You could tell she just wanted to get the interview over with.
Tucker's Mom
When Kate started to talk about the kids talking about filming and doing stuff and the crew and that they want to do that, Anne asked rather incredulously, "another show?" and Kate replied, "yes".
-----------------
Yes, the pimp is not done with pimping out her kids. And I hope to God Jon is NOT in agreement with this. His recent resonse to this was tenuous at best. Never mind if any media is really interested anymore.
I hate to say this, but with the show ending, both of their contracts ending and deperation, they both seem to be in sync with entertaining this possibility... Sad and sick... after all, they are getting along "better now." Same time Jon re-enters and did not rule out filming of the kids...
This new PR person must be making her twitter when she is on the road and at Today and IE because you know, that's what you DO. She must hate it. She is never this chatty when she's on the road with Steve getting her narcissistic supply elsewhere. What a drag to have to check in with the bottom feeders.
Gosselin8 . . . I agree with you completely. I think they are both getting desperate and need to find a way to support their kids in a way they are accustomed to and in a way that Kate and Jon will not have to work really hard at it. It's really pathetic. I'm really getting sick of hearing about her half marathon - she talks about it like its a job or something. Idiot. But, hey, I guess it's all she's got.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My sediments exactly. If they are so happy and doing so spectacularly, why rile them up? Look what happened before when C and A were under pressure, regardless of the cause...Kate can mail or tweet or blog or televise her dreams, but they are HER dreams, not the children's.
I think being a stay at home mom and not having anything going on is getting to Kate. She didn't look good despite all of effort she puts into herself. She looked botoxed and tired. She's still doing what she was doing six months ago. Nothing new. She hasn't gotten any better at being interviewed. I think she has her points that she has to make running over and over in her head so during the interview she just blurts them out. She doesn't listen to herself when she's talking (because she's probably too busy thinking about her talking points) so sometimes she doesn't answer the question that was asked. Kate is getting to be pretty boring.

-------------------
So true! And I hope she has not gotten Jon to agree to this! Neither of the two ever seemed to have a plan how to support 8 kids from Day One. And Jon was evasive about filming the kids in the future.
Can I put in a vote for never seeing a pic of Khate at the header of a new post ever again? Not showing her face is just as important imo as not showing the kids'.
Well, what a waste of TV. The Today show must be desparate, to have her on. Kate said nothings earth shattering, just that she is doing the marathon, still exploiting the kids, still hoping to get them back on TV, still talking with her annoying Ummms, which were about almost every other word. Her so-call helpful cc hinds, were lifted right from her bog, and useless as usual, since everyone already knows that stuff. Her BS about Jon was a repeat of the last interview she did. And according to Kate the tups are to have a kids birthday party, sometime in the future? By that time the kids won't want one, probably what kate is hoping for. She went on about, how the kids miss the cameras and travel, and how her fans want them back on TV, and so does she. Kate did not look especially anything, she did look way older than 37. Her hair was awlful. It was all of 3 mins. People you didn't miss much, I thought I missed it(was not gonna watch it), since they made her wait an hour to appear. Just watch the last interview it was almost the same. I guess Kate will do anything to get away from her kids.
Right, if the kids are doing so well, which I actually believe they are since both Jon and Kate admit they are, why mess with a good thing?
I bet Cara has lacrosse practice a lot. What will Kate do if she commits her to a T.V. show and it interferes with practice? The kids are getting older now, busier with school, sports and other activities. T.V. shows are hard work and a lot of time. She is selfish to want to commit their time and energy to a T.V. show when she knows darn well it should be committed to normal things like school and activities and friends. Kate, by the way, most kids on T.V. have to be home schooled, it's just a reality.
I don't see online who will be part of the CA cast. Anyone?
So from what I've read on here, Kate said Jon is more "available" now for the kids? But isn't Jon more available because of a court order? Didn't both of their custody times change so Jon had more time with the kids and Kate had more time with Rat Claw? (snark).
She used the opportunity to throw it out there that she wants another reality show. Stoopid! If any cable network was interested, it would have already happened. Besides, Jon has been adament that the kids will not be in another reality show. I don't think any network wants to get involved in a legal battle. Bad publicity for them about a pimping mother and a concerned father. And the kids are not cute babies any longer. She can't carry a show by herself and she knows it.

---------------------
So true. Doing great in school, so time to place more demands on the kids and exploit them. Not sure about Jon on all of this, as he would have to give consent, but looks to me like BOTH parents are fishing to film the kids again. In spite of all they have been given and to the possible detriment to the kids.
They both need to grow up, be parents, be thankful for all they have gotten, and stop using their kids.
Did anyone notice that Kate's face looked different?
So from what I've read on here, Kate said Jon is more "available" now for the kids? But isn't Jon more available because of a court order?
&&&
Yes. This is code for the judge is making me let the kids see him more. If she was so willing to let Jon have the kids whenever why did he have to go all the way to court to get a custody change? If she's so willing to compromise and work with him they should have just been able to work it out. Keep spinning your lies Kate.
Ava said: "I think she has her points that she has to make running over and over in her head so during the interview she just blurts them out."
My thoughts, exactly. I believe her PR person gave her a list of talking points, but in the absence of an imaginative mind (see also: good listening skills), her interview rang hollow...with a whiff of desperation.
Example: She announces that she's creating/compiling recipes, cooking things from scratch. Those meals are taste-tested by 8 (count 'em, 8) kids.
But she never mentions what she plans to do with that collection. Her PR agent should've coached her into saying something about that, because THAT'S where viewer interest kicks in.
I really don't think we have to worry about the kids getting another show. I just don't think anyone would be interested in them. As so many others have pointed out, they are just average at this point.
The cuteness is gone. This is not a slam against the kids, it's a GOOD thing to be just an average kid, they'll have happier lives that way. Growing up to be just like any other kid may just save them from being exploited again.
We have to remember they are a year older now too and we haven't heard from them in a long time and they've been pretty out of practice with working with a camera crew. I'm betting the little kids aren't even going to remember much from filming. Trying to film kids as they get older and older gets harder and harder as they get minds of their own. I just can't imagine any network wanting to bother with that can of worms.
Haha, so Kate says the kids miss the trips and the crew?
Yep, I can just see it now. Tons of networks wanting to hire Kate and her kids for a reality show. To go on TRIPS. wtf?? (maybe she needs to contact the travel channel)
Yep, any network would jump at the chance to film Kate and her kids. Gee, they were so pleasant and fun while filming the rv episodes, I can't imagine why a network wouldn't offer then a show today! lol
(they don't have to be 'posh' trips, since Kate said only Jamie and Ashley liked posh trips. Kate said she and the kids didn't go on posh trips.)
I've enjoyed the many lies of Kate Gosselin. I am gonna miss her.lolololol

-------
Don't forget how pleasant and fun Kate was during the Sarah Palin episode...
I did not watch, mama Mias recap did the job for me. ” chickens!” From the description, it its obvious there was a backstage coin toss and poor Ann lost. She got stuck with the Most Boring Interview of the month, maybe year!
Ms Kreider is just plain boring. She should take some classes in something, anything so she will have something new to talk about.
” chickens!” Love it!
Another thing if you notice is that travel shows really are hitting a big slump right now. With the exception of competition shows like Amazing Race and 50 plates, or the food shows like Anthony Bourdain, it's hard to find a real "travel show" out there like there used to be.
It makes sense, who wants to watch a travel show when you haven't been on vacation in years? The very idea Kate even thinks for one second a travel show is appealing shows how out of touch she is.
That leg swinging must go, Kate! She is not made for television interviews, period. Take your kids on a trip all by yourself, on your own dime. It sounds moronic to keep spouting off about the kids asking about travel/crew. Delusional to the max. It's becomming annoying that anyone would pay to put her or her kids on television. Not cute anymore, none of them. They deserve a "mediocre" life just like the rest of society. All that about Jon is becoming questionable, too. He never got a pass from me on the grifting. They both fell for the big money. Should have spent less/saved more. Remember, "It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark."
In case there was any doubt, there IS no more vapid, vacuous PoS than Katie Gosselin. She still has NO presence in front of a camera that she does not control. She has NOTHING new to say. Had she not been prompted, she would not have even mentioned CC. Her savings tip? Check online as well as at the store for the best price? Is she f---ing kidding me? Oh and the clip of her "working" at the CC office? The ONE day she did so? Puh-leeze.
It is clear that those children will never take a vacation again if someone else doesn't pay for it. I am sure she has plenty of money in the bank, but she sure as hell is NOT going to use it on them. She will spend every dime they/she have trying to get herself back on TV. This woman just refuses to accept "reality." How ironic for a former reality "star."
I also thought she looked like crap. That hair! What, no time for a blow-out? If Jason is responsible for THAT, he should throw away his scissors. She looked like a 17-y-o wannabe. Grow up, Kate!
God...there is no doubt now that Jon and Kate are in agreement to pimp those kids out again. Thats why she was being halfway decent towards Jon. It sounds like there is finacial problem somewhere. I knew Jon would show his true colors again. Don't get me wrong.... I like the guy but I think Kate is filling his head with "If we don't get another show we could lose everything"...so he's going along with it for the sake of the kids. They really make me ill..
Remember in one of the RV episodes, when Kate was on one of her rants and said, "This is sooo over"? Well, she was right! She just didn't know it yet.
I just watched the morning clip.
It's amazing to think this woman was actually on a tv show. Her speaking skills are horrible and she has nothing interesting to offer.
She did say the TLC contract was over and she and the kids want another reality tv show.
Gee Kate, since you say the kids are doing so well 'across the board' in school, don't ya think that might have something to do with them no longer WORKING?
I might have missed a few, but Kate had 22 'um's', and 2 'honestly's'.
For the record, Ann had one 'um'.
:)
I can't figure out why CC wants this lady as a blogger. She has no credibility! She is on record saying Jon's child support (at that time 22,000 a month) barely paid the school lunch bills...now since he only pays 1500 a month, she now has to brown bag it for the kids every day. That organic s*** must be expensive, lol.
This chick is clearly panhandling for another reality show. Great parenting there, Kate!
I can't figure out why CC wants this lady as a blogger.

They want a content farmer not a blogger.

---------------------
I so agree. 2 adults, who have been given so much (millions),need to figure out how to support their 8 kids without filming them. K & J both have huge egos in my opinion, which does not fair well for the kids, although no one in their right mind will pick up the show. Has beens. It's sad that Kate still thinks this is a great option for her kids.
HELLO- K & J - Step up to the plate and take care of your kids without filming them. Give them the privacy they deserve and have since day one.
I agree with all of you who believe it's beyond belief how Kate talks about saving money, but turns around and takes herself to NYC for her beauty regime. That's part of the reason she is so unlikeable. It is exactly the old adage, "Do as I say, not as I do." To some of us she is just a liar, plain and simple.
WOW...she could use her time better and earn a real paycheck instead of begging for something that just won't happen again. Desperate is too kind of a word that describes her. They're in trouble...aren't they?
Didn't watch and haven't seen it online (if it's even online yet), but it sounds to me like it WAS just another "we need a guest" appearance as I predicted.
I'm sure the failed cruise was on the list of verboten subjects to bring up. PR people said "no, no, no!!"
I don't watch Inside Edition, either. I'll just read about that failure here, too.
The kids miss "the crew"...well, unless you get another reality show with TLC they will continue to miss "the crew" because "the crew" works for TLC. What's that Kate? Oh, I see, any crew will do.
Kate as someone else said, your kids aren't toddlers any more the cute factor is G.O.N.E. Your kids are just like any other kids of that age, awkward and, ummmm, not so cute. Watching 8 & 11 year olds melt down isn't cute. I don't think that I'm the only one that cringes when I see kids acting up in a store or restaurant. I don't mean this as a knock against the kids, just stating the facts as I see them, the kids are now just normal looking like any other kids of that age. I'm sure the kids do miss the travel aspect because it probably is more fun to go to the beach at Bald Head Island than to sit around the pool day after day after day. They also probably enjoyed the variety of foods they got rather than the crap that Kate seems to plop down in front of them.
OT, PJ's Momma - My husband was in the Army and we went from Jersey to Germany to AZ to TX to Germany to Germany to MD to CA and ended up in AZ again.
Here's the link to the video for anyone who feels like subjecting themselves to some classic inanity:
http://t.co/ZQ3z2Tj8(preview)
She is now officially a media JOKE.
STILL begging for a reality show is no less ridiculous than going around hoping to win the lottery. She sounds ridiculous. I am embarrassed for her. She is an embarrassment to hard working women out there, stay at home moms and working moms and everyone else alike. Get a job. For the love of god, get a job. You're a disgrace.
Oops, link doesn't seem to be working? It's posted on IW, of course, so if you have 4 minutes to waste. . . .

Well, guess that explains why she posts info about her kids there. Always pimpin'.
I watched RHONJ last night. Yep, that's a 'real' show showing real life as it happens, lol. Teresa's oldest kid just blurts out, mom, I need a bra..oh yea, that wasn't scripted AT ALL. (snark)
There was a scene where Teresa and her hubby are in her car discussing her family. He was downright abusive. I wonder how much longer they will be married. As much as I think she is a terrible narcissist, no one should be married to someone like him. Perhaps if she gave him the heave-ho she'd snap out of her ugliness (or at least some of it.)
Thanks for the clip I added it to the post. I couldn't stomach more than 5 seconds, she looks really terrible. She's ruined herself with all that money.
I hope Kate's Today show and IE appearances are just as successful as her LA trip was....let's see what did she get from that one again....anyone remember anything.
I am unsure what Jon's feelings are now about another show. I hope that he is just letting Kate wish all she wants knowing that opportunity has not been knocking at her door. That may make it more peaceful for the kids if Kate is not waging all out warfare on their Dad.
Another thought....I think when she said "Jon is working with me", it may mean he is collaborating with her on getting those kids back in front of the camera where
the BIG money is.
If Jon is serious about keeping his children from being exploited, then NOW is the time to clear up her inference that she (sounded like they) want those kids back on television.
I still cannot get over how she just smelled of desperation this morning. She is no longer capable of convincing anyone that she is even mildly interested in ANYTHING other than getting a tv gig. It was painful watching her feign interest in Coupon Cabin, it is just killing her to be known for clipping coupons, especially when she is so inept at doing it.
And yes, her hair is dead, but it does match her eyes.
Kate is really pathetic.
Who is going to hire a reality show has-been that has nothing to offer?
She realises that alone, she has no chance of ever having a career in show business. So to make it happen, she has to drag her innocent children into her pipe dream.
Sick.
NJGal...You made me laugh out loud. She doesn't care who the crew is...as long as shes being filmed. Pick a crew..any crew...and we'll miss them. HaHa..She is so obvious. She sounds like a complete idiot. How many freakin' times can she say that..anyone who has half a brain cell is on to her.
Jon knew the cruise would never be able to get the numbers it did so he didn't put up a big stink.
Jon also knows there is just no way anyone is going to hire these kids again, it's not happening. So maybe he's not putting up a big stink about that either.
Why piss off Kate and tell her no Kate absolutely not and cause fighting and tension when you KNOW (come on, he knows) she is never going to be able to get another reality show for these kids. Just let her have her little fantasy and don't rock the boat. He can always say no on the off chance if anything ever does come up. Until something comes up and Jon says yes, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. He really does seem like he's trying to just get along with this bitch, because what else can you do. You'll go crazy otherwise.

Kate just tweeted she is off to do Inside Edition. One upping Jon much?
Sheeple please explain to me how Jon is an "ass" for doing Inside Edition but not Kate. What say you now?
*****************
It's been explained to you ad nauseum. Unlike Jon, Kate has never claimed that she wants to be out of the spotlight and living a private life, hence she doesn't look like an ass when she appears on Inside Edition. It's really not a complicated concept.
And to take things a step further, both Cara and Maddie were clearly acting out in the last few shows, (banished to the RV how many times that we saw?dut to bad behavior that Kate didn't want filmed) so maybe Kate needs to consider that filming is not in the best interest of her kids. Never mind the twins and tup girls' harsh comments towards Jamie's kids- is this acceptable? No- She is raising entitled girl kids who appear to have little respect for others. Much like herself. One of the tups(unseen) actually described Jamie's kids as ugly and stupid, which was filmed from outside the SUV, so no saying which one said it although it was a girl tup on Kate's watch.
She needs to address these issues, with 2 tups expelled, and I am sure there is much more going on other than what we have seen in filming and read.
Thanks for putting the clip up, Admin!
hahahahaha, awesome.
Nobody can say or do anything to expose kHate better than just putting her on camera for 5 minutes. What a fool. Nothing to say as usual other than to panhandle for a new show.
She looked like crap and comes across as ridiculously unintelligent and boring.
is it just me or did Kate's cheeks look weird? It looks like she had her cheeks stuffed - do you think she got fillers? Also, if she just got back from NYC to get her hair fried, WHY does she always have a 1 inch streak of roots showing? She needs a new hairdresser! I'm sure someone in PA could screwed it up as well as Ted Gibson can and probably for alot less money. There's a CC tip for you khate!
Anonymous, you sheeple hate Jon. The only reason I can think of is that your significant others gave you the boot too or cheated on you. Kate needs to stop pimping her kids and get on with her life like Jon has done.
And yes to someone above who mentioned Kate looked different. I thought she looked tired. And she was not enthused during the interview. If she enjoys TV so much, why put on a sourpuss face like that?
Anonymous 88 - Pick a name if you are going to attack the owner of this blog.
I may disagree, but respect the fact that Admin does not deserve to be attacked anonymously. And she has stated that you need to pick a name time and time again.
Holy drowned rat, Batman!
She looked like crap! That overly bleached- stick-straight-parted down the middle look does NOT flatter her AT ALL!
She still has that highly annoying head wobble ( that only black chicks can get away with ).
Still being desperate and trying to whore out her family in another reality show, I see. All because 6 fans are begging....LOL.

**************
I neither hate Jon nor love Kate. Sorry that your inability to recognize that not everyone thinks in such extremes makes that impossible for you to comprehend.
Ok, maybe I'm missing something. Did Jon come out and say that he wanted the kids to be on another reality show? In the radio interview recently, I know Jon, when asked, said it would be something he and Kate would need to discuss. As was discussed here, I think he was being politic. He knows the likelihood of Kate getting another reality show for her and the kids is next to nil or nothing.
As for his return to the "spotlight", I see that as him mining contacts for his consulting job and proving to the publishing houses that he is still relevant enough for his book to be picked up. Is it inconsistent? Somewhat. But like many people here, I feel he's allowed to change his mind. He hasn't, imo, done anything to exploit his kids. It is natural for both Jon and Kate to be asked about their kids in interviews. It is what they are famous for. The difference between the two is Jon keeps his comments pretty general
and non descrip. He also (at least in the radio interview, didn't see inside edition or whatever gossip show he was on) spends a good portion of his interview discussing and promoting his business and, in the case of the radio interview, a charity he was supporting.
Sorry, everyone's entitled to their opinion but I think
Jon and Kate are completely different in their approaches to revamping their careers. Jon touches on the past show and his kids and then moves on to what he's doing currently on his own merits. Kate continues to use her "Mom of 8" and her kids to stay relevant.
I don't think changing your mind makes you an ass. I would love to see Kate stop being so hellbent and change her mind about things.
Kate needs to fire her PR person and hire a speech coach.
For the love of God if she say's um one more time while in an interview I'm going to go crazy.
Well Kate acts miserable and vile when traveling but she claims to love that too so.
Off topic, but did anyone see Real Housewives of New Jersey last night? Talk about child exploitation!!
RHONJ was my guilty pleasure, but I won't indulge myself any longer. Teresa's daughter Gia was spotlighted in this episode, in a jaw-dropping, humiliating way. In brief: G told T she wanted to go bra shopping, though it as painfully evident it wasn't necessary (a fact the upscale shopkeeper danced around, but eventually confirmed). Gia and Teresa also talked about periods, sanitary pads and tampons. Teresa confessed she didn't wear tampons 'til she was married, because it steals your virginity --using hand motions to help illustrate her point(rough paraphrase here, but you get the gist).
There were other awkward scenes--in one of them, Gia suffers a complete melt-down. Poor little girl...I weep for her, inside. How will she ever live down the humiliating scenes that are woven through this episode?
Maybe this (or children of the RH franchise in general) merits its own post?
I just watched the interview. I think that Kate believes she is Sooooo interesting that just chatting with her is a privilege. It does not matter what she has to say. Her presence on the Today show stage is just a golden experience -- for them! Content be damned. Kate was there.

I should also mention that Gia is 10, 11 at the most. Cara and Mady's age...
God, her hair is awful. It does nothing for her at all. It shapeless and flat. Makes her forehead look closer to a fivehead.
Bouncing leg, check. Orange skin, check. Too-short dress next to Ann Curry's classic look, check. Passive-aggressive throwing of Jon under the bus, check.
Big waste of time. Again!

________
I think that's only when she's traveling with the kids.
I bet if she snagged a traveling show or her own show.
Where she travels with Steve along side her she would be in heaven.
OMG..she looked like the bird that ate the canary. For some reason she looked very guilty. Right off the bat she brought up putting the kids back on T.V...and she looked very uncomfortable about it. That looked like her sole purpose for being there...to put it out there to all those networks who will be knocking down her door that "we're avialable"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She's got SOME wait..delusional idiot.
Maybe she should shove that crew up her ass, so when she misses them, she knows where to find them...Ha
Re: behavior of the G girls. Funny, it is the girls who act out, not the icky boys from what we see on the show ( except fighting amongst themselves)
The girls are all mean to Jamie's kids in the RV episode and also in the basement reorganizing...two tup girls were rude, mean, wouldn't share and called Clay names. Really unbecoming. I wouldn't want that filmed if it were my kids. Cara and Mady were quite mean to Clay when they were having races & playing with Lego in the RV epi. IIRC Kate also had some issues with Clay who seemed to be a nice boy?? Kate doesn't like boys and the girls are following her lead...
Jon is not my cup of tea, so to speak, but I don't understand the vitriole on fan sites for someone who has moved on with his life. I am not a Jon defender because he is not perfect, but he is someone who knows his limitations and is using his name and access to promote his business. He is not using his kids any longer as a life style changer. But Kate is and continues to. She obviously thinks she has something to offer, but has failed because (drum roll please) she has no talent. On top of that, even without talent, she can't even make big bucks as a sponsor because she is difficult. What a combination; no talent and difficult. Her future is not promising. At least Jon has an agreeable personality. That goes a long way for success.

So he changed his mind. Big effin deal! Get over it. Is that all you've got? Reaching for straws like your hero?
If you want to see how the American people who are not sheeple or non fans involved in blogging/Tweeeting about her do a Twitter search for just Kate Gosselin, not @kateplusmy8. These are the people who don't know or care to know Twitter handle. It's very telling.
This woman's life is like a Tim Burton twist on Oz.
The Shrew™ went from being like Dorothy in the early days, young, fresh and innocent - to becoming the lion, scarecrow and tin man all at once.
The hag has no heart, is a cowardly POS and obviously is determined to become the first live-action Scarecrow with that ridiculous hair, stretched face and permanent scowl carved into those eyebrows.
Blecch.
I just watched the clip without sound (my speaker is kaput.) As such I had no choice but to notice her body language. Conclusion: no camera presence, no joy or bubbliness in her delivery, no personality. Even without hearing one word I got sleepy watching her. And that nervous leg thing is annoying.
Improbable Dream, I caught parts of RHONJ last night during Celebrity Apprentice commericals. I also followed it on Twitter. The housewives shows are getting very dark and disturbing, this one especially. Poor Gia must have been lying in bed last night around midnight with her IPhone while she was defending herself of the ugly tweets that people were sending her calling her a brat among many other hateful things. Teresa probably didn't even know this was going on. This is so incredibly sad to me. Teresa has said that Gia's Twitter account is monitored but no one was monitoring it last night.
I didn't watch. Kate said the kids miss the crew? Why? She previously said that the crew is family and they see them often. If so, then they shouldn't miss them, should they?
"Folk, this is nothing, and I mean nothing that Kate hasn't tweeted and blogged about. Kids are great (and noting that Jon is better.. yeah right),"
Better than what or whom? :)
What earth-shaking money saving tips did Kate reveal? How do we know that the kids are doing great in school? Just because she says so?
Ugh, I watched the clip. While her dress was ok, Kate's hair looks horrid! Is her hairline receding? She should cut bangs, maybe..her 'not so obvious' ways of saving?' LOLOLOL...right.
It's all a 'game?' No, it's a way of life for many people trying to save while buying groceries etc these days.
Kate tried to make her life sound full and interesting but of course dropped the hint that the family was ready at a moment's notice to be on TV again.
She was definitely a 'filler' on the show .

They live Tweeted the show? Ohhhhh. :( I cringe inside for Gia. Yes, she was, uh, temperamental, but it's abundantly evident that her tantrums are an outlet for unresolved conflict. So much anguish.
I can only imagine the mocking, in the aftermath of last night's show. ALong the lines of Gosselinators that keep repeating the Tups' utterings, no matter how degrading they might be, all these many years later.

*******************
Really? What business did he promote on Inside Edition? He talked about his new girlfriend. Face it, he wants to remain famous. That's all fine and dandy, but let's get real. He hasn't had a sudden change of heart about fame. His "oh, I just want to be a private guy" schtick was because he was under contract and had no option to seek gigs in the spotlight.
Kate Gosselin looked and sounded so BAD! Found it great that parents of 7 children wanted their children to be separate people; wonder if Kate stayed around and listened. Instead of blogging about her kids, she should take advice from others that have better choices of raising children!! LOL
Kate is appearing so desperate and obvious now. It makes you want to turn your head in embarrassment for her. Even if she did find a network willing to do another reality show what makes her think they would send her and the kids traveling all over the country like TLC did? She wants so terribly what she had with TLC and lost again. Her greed and nasty attitude did her in on that ride. It's over Kate and you will never have it back. Move on.
Maybe if she went away for all out of the public eye she would have offers to do shows or magazine spreads on how the kids are doing occasionally. She could possibly get a hefty paycheck once a year from People Magazine but Kate is too greedy to settle for that. She wants it all again. The problem with that is she blew it big time. I have no sympathy for this pathetic creature.
Ann Curry said "there is a new development" in as Jon is easier to get along with. The industry thinks Jon is a pain to work with as far as filming his kids. Also Kate wants the tv industry to know that all her kids are doing great now in school. Hint, hint, they are ready to film again, call me. The kids want to be filmed and Jon "more positive and less stressfull". Also, everyone was saying that the kids are doing great because the filming has stopped. But Kate said because Jon is easier to get along with, she can be a better Mother. It isn't the filming but Jon that made the kids have problems. And Kate said that EVEN the kids have noticied Jon's "new ways". Kate said she just always wanted "that peace" for her kids. Yes, the new development is because Jon is better the kids are doing great in school and the kids want to film. She makes me sick. She threw him under the bus as always.
I so wanted Ann to ask Kate if the kids have seen the filming crew in the past 10 months. I bet the answer is no. And Kate said they still miss the crew. She is so use to saying it that it just came out of her mouth. The kids are never going to see the TLC crew again. If the kids and the crew were that close then they would have seen each other. Just another lie from Kate to propel the myth that kids love to film and think of the crew as family.
This clip is the from the West coast feed.
I watched the show here on the east coast, no inserts on how to save.
Also Kate never mentioned coupon cabin. She went right into the TLC contract expired, so she and the kids are looking for other things.
The kids are excelling across the board.hmmmmm and hmmmmmmm and Ann had to keep proding Kate. It was a hemming and hawing interview, it was cleaned up for the west coast. During what I saw from PA we did not see Kate from the waist down. There were so many pauses. So I don't know if this interview was done over again for the west coast feed and the inserts listing coupon cabin's purpose. The only insert we saw was a photo from Easter of Kate on the blanket in the short white mini skirt.
Kate was seen only from the waist up, we did not see her legs. We saw a close up. Kate started out by talking about the TLC contract expiring, the kids miss the filming, the kids are excelling and excelling across the board. No mention of coupon cabin. How she was going to participate in a marthon.
Ann had to mention Jon and also coupon cabin. Kate said "oh yes I am blogging" and "yes Jon and I are working together, blah, blah" and that is when Anne said "see over time everything works out" (which to me meant all those years of tears was a waste. Anne had to fill in the pauses and we saw exactly a 90 to 100 second interview. That is it.
Anne had to bring up coupon cabin and Kate explained (not that it was understood) how she sees something in Target, goes home and sees it on the computer (never mentioning the coupon system) but explains it is all a game.
Oh she also included her recipes at the beginning of the interview. Her grammar was horrible. Apparently she was trying very hard to get in everything about her and her kids but not about the blogging, the reason she was on the show and arranged by coupon cabin.
Goes to show you, the show is edited before it is shown to the West Coast at 9 or 10.
Also Kate never saw Trump, he was in another studio.
Adding insult to injury, Kate wasn't even kept in the building to appear on Hoda & Kathie Lee's show. Not even a pre recorded interview (as there was time to do that).
She was one of the first interviews after 2 mothers were on:
#1 mother who drank too much, left her house unlocked and her baby Lisa is missing.
#2 the overly bronzed mother's interview with today.
#3 mother of the year Kate Gosselin. ha ha ha ha
She is so over she has no idea. Expect to hear Kate is no longer with coupon cabin and replaced by someone else with several children.
My biggest problem with her is that she can never seem to admit that SHE has grown, changed, evolved at all with regards to her relationship with Jon. She can only say that Jon has changed, or in her twisted view, Jon has started living up to her expecatations.
Her whole passive agressive stance on this issue alone makes her unlikeable, unrelatable and unsympathetic. It would go a looooong way in rehabilitating her image if she would show a little humility and confess to learning a lot about HERSELF and her own shortcomings. Maybe admit that SHE has learned to work with Jon. But no, it is always Queen Kate pontificating from on high how Jester Jon has finally started acting as she wants.
Maybe I should be her new PR person??? Naaaaw, I've got a sock drawer to reorganize.
wow, I don't think I've ever seen a more pathetic , uninteresting interview ever. EVER. I couldn't watch the whole thing. Awkward and uncomfortable.

Sorry to break it to you, but Kate is not my hero. I'll pass on doing a Twitter search for Kate Gosselin, thanks. Unlike you, I am not obsessed with her. She's really not that interesting. I couldn't care less about what those who are neither fans nor haters think of her.
Improbable Dream. Yes, they always live Tweet the show. If you think Kate's non fans are bad you should follow the RHONJ women, their husbands, and kids. Oh boy. Very, very interesting to say the least.
She will never learn the art of the interview, will she? She can't lose the "ums," and I don't think that any number of communication classes will ever help. She must be aware that she's doing this. She certainly reads enough criticism about it, and yet she makes no effort to improve her speaking abilities. It must be hell to listen to her at one of her speaking engagements. I imagine that you just want to tear your hair out. It grates on the nerves.
sooz, great points! I had never considered that, but you are spot on in your observations!

NJGal...You made me laugh out loud. She doesn't care who the crew is...as long as shes being filmed. Pick a crew..any crew...and we'll miss them. HaHa..She is so obvious. She sounds like a complete idiot. How many freakin' times can she say that..anyone who has half a brain cell is on to her.
************
She said the crew was going to come over and dress the kids up and take them out to play in the snow. What happened to that?
She also sayd the kids have recently started asking about the crew and traveling here and there...but she said many times before that the kids were asking about the crew and when they are going on a "hairpane" again...so, did they just now start asking, or have they been asking all along? Which is it, Kate?
And why did she keep referring to the tups as the "babies"? They are 8 years old! I think she stresses the babies (babies=cute), the delayed 8th birthday party (upcoming event), and wanting a new show in the hopes that someone will decide to come out and film that 8th birthday bash. Oh, and pay for it, too. After all, the fans are begging for it! All 6 of them! Yes, some new network could pay for a few weeks at Bald Head Island, a big beach bash for the birthday, pay her a quarter of a million, and while they're gone put a new roof on her house and repave her driveway. What network wouldn't go for that?
Below is the transcript (this is from the feed for the Central Time Zone, so if it was edited for the East or West coast feeds, it may reflect slightly different. This is word-for-word, including the "um's"....)
Part 1
Ann: Back now at 8:18 with Kate Gosselin, the mother of 8 and former reality television star –is trying something new these days as a blogger for Coupon Cabin .com
Ann: Kate, good morning.
Kate: Hi………
Ann: So, so your show sorta’ ended in September, so it’s been awhile since we’ve caught up, so how are your kids doing? How are YOU doing?
Kate: Great. We’re doing awesome. The kids are doing great in school. Um…they’ve gone on. They really honestly miss filming. They’ve recently been saying, “When are we gonna’ go here or there? We miss the crew.” So we’re hoping - our TLC contract is over - so we’re hoping to move forward and do more fun projects.
Ann: Like another reality show?
Kate: Yeah – the fans are begging, you know, “They’ve grown up, they’ve turned 8 what are you doing?” and so we’re hoping to put that out there for them.
Ann : uh hum….
Kate: I’m, um, compiling my recipes. I’ve 8 recipe testers at home and working on that as well as…um…I’m running the San Diego R&R half-marathon the beginning of June. I’m excited.
Ann: So you’re in training
Kate: Yeah
Ann: That’s pretty exciting
Kate: I did my first marathon in December so I’m doing a half coming up. And um, and I’m blogging.
Ann: Yes talk about that – because, um, what you’re blogging about is really trying to help people understand how they can save money with coupons. Is that right?
Kate: Correct. There is a million ways you can save. Um…Coupon Cabin… I do a weekly blog for them to tell people just, you know, maybe not so obvious ways that I save. Um, they have a new, uh, Coupon Cabin mobile ap that’s coming out this week actually, so on your phone now you can find coupons and ways to save, as well, which is a lot easier and faster.
Part 2:
Ann: Before we get to some of the tips that you have learned for this process that you can offer to the moms at home, let me ask you about the babies turning 8; you had a big birthday - they’re not babies anymore – they’re 8 year olds - how was their birthday party?
Kate: It was awesome. We actually didn’t have their ‘friend’ birthday party yet , that’s coming up. But we did our at-home, normal, mom’s chocolate cake regular stuff. We always have to swim on their birthday, no matter if it’s 40 degrees out. And um… they’re doing really great. Everybody is excelling in school, um, across the board. It’s amazing
Ann: Really? That’s remarkable.
Kate: Yes. Totally doing amazingly well. We’ve had a great school year. And um, they love school and its - yeah it’s really fun.
Ann: Also – there has been a development that people might be surprised about in terms of your relationship with your ex-husband, (picture of Jon on screen) who we’ve heard a lot about There was a lot of difficulty, a lot of tough times, but now, you can actually say what?
Kate: Um, I can honestly say that it’s more peaceful than its ever been. Um, I feel like a really big weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Um, he’s really been, um, positive and um, more available and it’s just less stressful. I feel like he’s working with me and the kids notice it and that’s good because I’ve always just wanted that peace for them and I feel like we’re finally to a point where, um, it’s happening.
Ann: So there’s a lesson in that, that with time sometimes even the most acrimonious kind of separation from someone can actually turn into something okay.
Kate: Yeah…and that’s good, cuz’ I can take that emotional energy that was so wasted in that area and, you know, put it back towards the kids and – and taking care of them and that’s good.
Part 3:
Ann: So these tips that you have that you want other people to know about that can save money are to do your homework in terms of prices, and one of the interesting things is that you went to Target and you got one price and then you went to the website for Target and you got a cheaper price?
Kate: Yes.
Ann: So there you go. I didn’t know you could do that…the cheaper price online….
Kate: Absolutely. I’ve been known to stand in a store and, um, either, you know, look on Coupon Cabin’s website and order it online - the same item I’m looking at because it’s actually cheaper that way and it’s – it’s all a game and at the end of the day if you save money- it’s great. You can find coupons for anything. Um, I also reuse things. Um, I recycle it throughout my house, uh, for re-use. That’s all savings. It’s money in your pocket. I cook from scratch and pack 8 lunches every single day because if you do the math on packing 8 lunches versus buying 8 lunches I’m saving SO much money every week.
Ann: You also say teach kids the value of a dollar; as you say, cook from scratch, be organized and plan ahead. If YOU can do it with all these kids, I think the rest of us have some hope in saving money.
Kate: It’s really fun. It’s really fun to save money and you’re, um, stretching your dollar and so that’s what I wanna’ help people do.
Ann: Well, that’s really thoughtful. Good luck on the marathon.
Kate: Thank you.
Ann: Thanks for stopping by
Kate: Absolutely. Thanks.
"Folk, this is nothing, and I mean nothing that Kate hasn't tweeted and blogged about. Kids are great (and noting that Jon is better.. yeah right),"
Better than what or whom? :)
*******
That wasn't very clear, was it!
Kate once again projected her feelings and impressions on her little kids. What I inferred was that the kids *also* could see that Jon was doing better/seeing them more/trying harder/being a better dad overall etc.
I say "yeah, right" because I'll bet the kids never perceived anything other than a dad that loves them, supports them and is there for them.
I still can't get over how uncomfortable she was. It was like she was trying her hardest to find things to talk about. I actually stopped watching it in the middle...it was too painful. She acted like a LOSER...not like
someone who was a success. Reaaly, just sad..it would have been less painful if she flat out asked a network to send her and her kids on free trips...and pay ME alot of money while your at it...SUCKERS.

I agree completely. I don't think Kate knows it, but she paid Jon a very high compliment. She basically said that he has evolved, which shows introspection, self-awareness, motivation, being plugged-in and intelligence.
If, and that's a big if, but if Kate would show just a glimmer of humility, it truly would go a long way. Instead, she steadfastly insists that she's been golden the entire time. Nothing to change or improve as far as she's concerened.
As to Kate's appearance, I think her hair has never looked worse and I don't say that to be mean. I'd give an eye tooth for that head of hair, but she's ruined it and the style is unflattering to say the least.
Her face looks botoxed and perhaps she's had fillers with the puffy cheeks she's sporting. Her eyes look very spaced apart now too.
It's obvious that Kate has had work done on her face, but exactly what it is I don't know. She just looks like she's morphing into someone else, and in just a couple 2-3 years, her looks have changed drastically.
In Kate's People magazine spread, right after the split at the time of the divorce, she had a rather glamorous photo spread, pre hair extensions. She looked amazing, I mean, I could have seen her getting a cosmetics contract her face looked that fresh and naturally pretty.
We get to see, once again, how painful those couch interviews during the Plus 8 shows must have been to film. No wonder they would have to be down there in their basement set for hours. The editor needed all that time to find 5 usable minutes.
As for being on Jon's "side", I think two things come into play; compared to the kid's other parent Hitler looks like a great person. Next, I think some people feel very guilty about how badly they ripped into Jon around the time of the separation and divorce. People REALLY went off on him. IMO the filming wasn't in the top 5 worse things done to the Gosselin kids by their own parents. Not to mention that if Jon chose to film them again I wouldn't be surprised. Not. At. All.

*********
Very different from the confident, almost manic and defiant Kate that showed up on set when she had her show, Kate plus 8, isn't it?
This morning, I felt uncomfortable for Kate, as she seemed a bit deflated, not confident and aware that she had little to spin.
Anne sensed this too. She is a great interviewer with years and years of experience, but she looked a bit thrown off as though the interview never got a groove going and remained stilted throughout.
"Kate: Yes. Totally doing amazingly well."
Exactly how you'd expect a twelve-year-old to describe something. Throw in the towel Kate. It's over.
Absolutely nothing was gained, during Kate's Today Show appearance. Her Twitter feed is negative as well. Same questions and canned answers as the Dr. Drew "Lifechangers" interview... only no free Keurig coffee maker this time for Kart! She looks dreadful with that stringy hair. (I take it back, it might be all hers!)
Fans are dying to see the kids on TV again, really? Translation- Milo and the other remaining (3) tweeting Sheeple behave in an unnatural way, can't move on and /or are a bit touched in the head. Or in Ziggy's case-- you have a Blog to maintain (keep alive), and have a dog in this fight. Kids miss being on TV and the Trips, really? Translation- Kate is too cheap to pay for the children to go on a proper vacation, although they certainly earned it. Unless some Network is footing the bill, it's Pixar, Popcorn & the Pool all summer. Forget Bald Head Island... forget their annual "Rite of passage" birthday party @ Discovery Cove Florida. Bake from scratch and plan ahead, really? Thanks for the advice Kate. (Gah... Coupon Cabin is really putting their foot in it with this one.)
TuckerMOm@135....Your decription of what went down this morning was perfect and right on. Couldn't have put it better...Thats exactly what I was trying to say. You did a better job at it than I did...
What is that crap of the tups are now grown up? Is Kate screwy or what? It's only been what 10 months, the kids have not changed that much and are not grown up, they are kids. Kate acts like years have passed. Maybe Kate can't accept the fat that the tups are not littles/pre-schoolers anymore and that the twins will be soon 1 year away from being a teen.
Kate does live in a bubble of her own making. She is really out of touch with the real world. Kate probably does not even know what goes on outside her home, in her community, her state and her country or the world. And we do have proof, cause the twits on twitter tell her of stuff in her own state and stuff going on in the world. Kate would make a very poor interviewer, because: she 1. can't talk ,2 has no knowledge of what is going on in the world.
Let me go on the record as saying this:
As crazy as that porcupine haircut was back in the day, it was so much better than what it has turned into now.
She looks way way waaaaaaaaaay better with short hair. This long fried bleached hair thing is so unattractive on her and now she looks like every other blond hoochie who hangs out in bars or in nudie magazines. She hasn't separated herself from all those Real Housewives of whatever city. Now she looks just like them, especially that White House party crasher woman.
She needs to fire her hairdresser and go back to a short bob with lots of lowlights. I HATE her new look. Yuck. It reminds me of the time Roseanne Barr grew her hair out and wore it straight.
She has absolutely no social skills. She couldn't even keep her focus on her interviewer. Is she hyped up on speed instead of eating. It's not her first or 10th interview - she should know to look at who you are speaking to or did someone (Steve) have idiot cards off to the side for her to remember all her ums and honestlies? Her hair looked horrible, flat is not in, she can't be bothered with a few hot rollers? Jason should not be happy she endorses him as her colorist or hairdresser. Lacking so much in the manners department - I feel sorry for the kids.
wonder if she knows what 'acrimonious' means...
She looks like Kendra Wilkenson's ugly older sister now.
Hi! I'm Katy and new here.Love reading all of the clever insightful posts.
Kate looks like she has the mumps and reeks of desperation.
No friends birthday party yet? After almost 3 weeks? Yeah, they're not getting one. She'd never wait 3 weeks to celebrate her birthday. No party, no trips unless they're being exploited on a show...yes, it sucks to be a Gosselin kid.
Thank you Administrator for the video, which I have just watched. My first impression was how hard so looks compared to her Coupon Cabin footage. Overall it was boring and totally embarrassing.
I've only seen Tots and Tiaras a couple of times, but watching Kate look off camera I was remined of how the off camera mothers coach the children how to 'perform'.
I do think she just might be getting it that she is not going to get that TV spot that she covets and is still pushing for something that includes the children - more's the pity.
Just compare the two on camera. Anne Curry, intelligent, confident and Kate um. um. swinging her leg, inappropriately interrupting, it really was embarrassing to watch.

The one where she looked a bit like Grace Kelly? Yes, she looked gorgeous, but she never looked like that in "real life." It was photo shopped, but nevertheless it was the best I've ever seen her look. Her hair was pulled back and was much darker.
I have never seen someone age as fast as she has in just a few years. If she cut that hair and did lots of low lights, she'd look one hundred percent better. Not many people can wear that short pixie cut, but she can. She needs to cut out the tanning and go back to that fresh, natural face. For some reason she wants to look like the blonde, tanned California girl, and nobody can convince her that it just doesn't work. I just keep seeing Bette Davis in Baby Jane, harsh makeup, dyed hair, trying to reclaim her youth and film career. Appearance-wise, Kate's stuck in the 80s and 90s, and nothing is going to change that.
Kate's new CC blog is up. A slight repeat of the Today show . It's about the CC App, yapping about the go to store then go on line for cheaper price. Another boring blog of stuff everyone knows and the blog is short.
TLC newest and omni present ad is about "being real and living life". Regular show personalities are popping out of doors. Kate would have fit right in. The fact that she is GONE means more than just ratings. I think she over stayed her welcome with TLC. She just wanted more that she was worth.
I watched on here the a.m. show "the dumb belle speak". Most telling words out of the donkeys mouth "its all a game". We all know that with her!! Too funny.

Thanks for the transcript Sherri!
I’m playing the part her Kate's more intelligent self in ( CAPS) what she should have replied to Ann vs her non worthy dribble. She never once addresses Ann by name.
Sherri O said... 128
Part 1
Ann: Back now at 8:18 with Kate Gosselin, the mother of 8 and former reality television star –is trying something new these days as a blogger for Coupon Cabin .com
Ann: Kate, good morning.
Kate: Hi……HI ANN – SO NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN, IT’S BEEN A WHILE.
Ann: So, so your show sorta’ ended in September, so it’s been awhile since we’ve caught up, so how are your kids doing? How are YOU doing?
Kate: I’M GOING GREAT, FOCUSING ON THE KIDS AND THEIR ACTIVIES. THEY ARE SO BUSY THIS TIME OF YEAR WITH SPORTS AND FRIENDS.
Great. We’re doing awesome. The kids are doing great in school. Um…they’ve gone on. They really honestly miss filming. They’ve recently been saying, “When are we gonna’ go here or there? We miss the crew.” So we’re hoping - our TLC contract is over - so we’re hoping to move forward and do more fun projects.
Ann: Like another reality show?
Kate: NO MORE REALITY FOR US – THE KIDS ARE ENJOYING THEIR PRIVATE LIVES AND I PLAN TO KEEP IT THAT WAY.
Yeah – the fans are begging, you know, “They’ve grown up, they’ve turned 8 what are you doing?” and so we’re hoping to put that out there for them.
Ann : uh hum….
Kate: I’m, um, compiling my recipes. I’ve 8 recipe testers at home and working on that as well as…um…I’m running the San Diego R&R half-marathon the beginning of June. I’m excited.
Ann: So you’re in training
Kate: YES, I TRY TO RUN WHEN THEY ARE IN SCHOOL OR WITH JON.
Yeah
Ann: That’s pretty exciting
Kate:YES TRAINING AGAIN. I’D LOVE TO GET INVOLVED WITH SOME LOCAL MARATHONS THAT THE KIDS CAN COME WATCH.
I did my first marathon in December so I’m doing a half coming up. And um, and I’m blogging.
Ann: Yes talk about that – because, um, what you’re blogging about is really trying to help people understand how they can save money with coupons. Is that right?
Kate:I DO A BLOG FOR CC. IT’S FUN DOING RESEARCH ON FINDING THE BEST BARGINS OUT THERE TO PASS ALONG TO OTHER MOMS AND DADS.
Correct. There is a million ways you can save. Um…Coupon Cabin… I do a weekly blog for them to tell people just, you know, maybe not so obvious ways that I save. Um, they have a new, uh, Coupon Cabin mobile ap that’s coming out this week actually, so on your phone now you can find coupons and ways to save, as well, which is a lot easier and faster.
Kart's part 2 thanks to Sherri
Sherri O said... 129
Part 2:
Ann: Before we get to some of the tips that you have learned for this process that you can offer to the moms at home, let me ask you about the babies turning 8; you had a big birthday - they’re not babies anymore – they’re 8 year olds - how was their birthday party?
Kate: IT WAS A PARTY JUST FOR THEM, NO FRIENDS DURING THE WEEK, THEY GOT TO SHARE ONE OF MOM’S CAKES. I’M TOO BUSY DO MAKE INDIVIDUAL CAKES. IT WAS SO EASY, I LET THEM SWIM EVEN THOUGH IT WAS BAREY 60 DEGREES
It was awesome. We actually didn’t have their ‘friend’ birthday party yet , that’s coming up. But we did our at-home, normal, mom’s chocolate cake regular stuff. We always have to swim on their birthday, no matter if it’s 40 degrees out. And um… they’re doing really great. Everybody is excelling in school, um, across the board. It’s amazing
Ann: Really? That’s remarkable.
Kate: THE KIDS ARE DOING GREAT IN SCHOOL THIS YEAR. IT GETS MORE FUN EVERY YEAR AS THEY GET INVOLVED IN MORE ACTIVIES, DRAMA CLUB, GLEE CLUB, MUSIC LESSONS. I LOVE VOLUNTERRING AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK AT THE SCHOOL AND GETTING TO KNOW MORE ANDMORE MOMS.
Yes. Totally doing amazingly well. We’ve had a great school year. And um, they love school and its - yeah it’s really fun.
Ann: Also – there has been a development that people might be surprised about in terms of your relationship with your ex-husband, (picture of Jon on screen) who we’ve heard a lot about There was a lot of difficulty, a lot of tough times, but now, you can actually say what?
Kate: YES WE ARE COPARENTING VERY WELL TOGETHER.
Um, I can honestly say that it’s more peaceful than its ever been. Um, I feel like a really big weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Um, he’s really been, um, positive and um, more available and it’s just less stressful. I feel like he’s working with me and the kids notice it and that’s good because I’ve always just wanted that peace for them and I feel like we’re finally to a point where, um, it’s happening.
Ann: So there’s a lesson in that, that with time sometimes even the most acrimonious kind of separation from someone can actually turn into something okay.
Kate: WE’LL CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER FOR THE SAK OF THE KIDS HAPPINESS.
Yeah…and that’s good, cuz’ I can take that emotional energy that was so wasted in that area and, you know, put it back towards the kids and – and taking care of them and that’s good.

Kate: I HAVE LOTS OF TIME AVAILABLE TO ME WHILE THE KIDS ARE IN SCHOOL ALL WEEK. I JUST PICK ONE OF MY 3 VEHICLES AND RUN AROUND TOWN SAVING MONEY. I DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SAVING ANY TIME OR HURRING HOME TO MAKE DINNER FOR THE FAMILY LIKE OTHER SAHMS.
Absolutely. I’ve been known to stand in a store and, um, either, you know, look on Coupon Cabin’s website and order it online - the same item I’m looking at because it’s actually cheaper that way and it’s – it’s all a game and at the end of the day if you save money- it’s great.

It’s really fun. It’s really fun to save money and you’re, um, stretching your dollar and so that’s what I wanna’ help people do.
Ann: Well, that’s really thoughtful. Good luck on the marathon.
Kate: Thank you.
Ann: Thanks for stopping by
Kate: Absolutely. Thanks. THANKS ANN – LOVED SPEAKING WITH YOU AGAIN.
For someone who just loves to be on TV and being interviewed.
Kate looked very uncomfortable and uneasy to me and not open or friendly at all or even excited.
Her hair is so very yellow now.

Yet, here you are.
I guess the CC is ok as it advertises CC's new app. She did add a few comments about her busy efficient self though!
Answering work- e-mails? Who would those be from, CC? A short column around once a week, what e-mails are needed about that to keep her so busy?
First off, Anonymous, pick a name otherwise Administrator will eventually block you.
If you are not the least bit interested in Kate Gosselin, why are you here? You said you could care less about what haters or fans say, but here you are shit stirring. If you want to truly join in, pick a name, be polite, and make your points.
And to your point about Jon still wanting to be famous, that very well may be. You missed my point which is he is not proclaiming himself as the greatest father of 8, who wants a reality tv show INCLUDING the kids again. And, yes, Jon hops around from one girlfriend to the next but at least he's not poaching on another person's spouse.
Maybe Trump was in the corner watching Kate and she was focusing on him. He sure got an eye full of how uncamera ready she is considered her years of "experience". AWKWARD!

Hi Katy....Kate must be going through withdrawal symptoms from not going on any free trips. Thats why shes on national T.V. making a complete ass of herself begging for a show where she can travel for free and get paid to boot. Shes got some set of balls on her...what a laughing stock..Maybe I'll go on the Today show and ask for a show like that...I could use a trip to the Bahamas..

That she's getting a real job and slowly moving out of the spot light.
Nah I doubt that's going to happen.
Anonymous pick a name and stop violating rule 3 or you'll be deleted.
So KK thinks she and the kids didn't take posh trips? A fancy beach house in the OBX; Discovery Cove; an all-expenses paid, 3 week trip to Australia and New Zealand; even the RV trip from hell, complete with indoor plumbing, showers, and HDTV sets/DVD players look pretty posh to me. If those weren't posh, I'd love to know her definition. Maybe a trip to the Riviera? An exclusive Mediterranean cruise?
KK says flat out that she wants another TV show with the kids. In ONE interview, Jon didn't categorically state that the kids would never be on TV again. I don't see how this is pimping out the kids again (on Jon's part, anyway). There's no way on God's green earth that Jon can state absolutely, for a fact, that the kids will never be on TV again. The courts have already declared that filming them was okay, over his objections. If the courts again say filming them is okay, there's nothing he can do about it, short of kidnapping them and disappearing.
I didn't watch the show, or the clip. I can't stand the sound of KK's voice. The still pix above, though, her hair is horrible. It looks dull, limp, lifeless, and unstyled. If that's what a $900 hair style looks like, I'll stick to my $7.99 Senior Citizens clip. My hair may be stick straight and hard to work with, and showing a heck of a lot more gray than I'd like :>), but at least it's healthy, shiny and clean.
Kates the best damned liar in the free world....You must be living under a rock...

Another thing if you notice is that travel shows really are hitting a big slump right now. With the exception of competition shows like Amazing Race and 50 plates, or the food shows like Anthony Bourdain, it's hard to find a real "travel show" out there like there used to be.
It makes sense, who wants to watch a travel show when you haven't been on vacation in years? The very idea Kate even thinks for one second a travel show is appealing shows how out of touch she is.
___________________________________________________
Another thought on the traveling discussion, isn't Kate supposed to be a savings and coupon queen? If she is such a wonderful saver and couponer, why can't she find travel plans that don't cost a lot for the eight children and herself (and Steve)? Wouldn't that be a great topic for her CC blog too?
Oh, wait that would entail doing the research herself and it probably wouldn't involve anything exotic enough for her. Never mind, dumb idea. :)
She looks and sounds depressed, very low energy, for someone who calls herself a marathon runner.
LOL aggiemom09121416...No posting of pics from me.
Clearly I'm too mediocre as I haven't even got my 1st pink i-phone much less my seventeenhundrethandeleventh-ish one.
Kate is predictable. The low-energy-no-new-info interview was par for the Gosselin course.
I just don't understand. In this planet full of people, why did the Today Show want to feature her??

Yep, she said on one of the rv episodes she and the kids didn't take posh trips. She was griping about Jamie and Ashley's attitudes, that they were used to taking posh trips..then she realized what she said, and started back peddling, saying, we don't take posh trips. (We all know she Did take posh trips, and the inference was there.)
I know at one time Jon said he would never allow the kids to film again. BUT, he might consider it if the kids might have to lose their private school education or house.
I don't think Kate could sign the kids up for another show without his permission...it's one thing to try to get out of a contract you willingly signed...it's another thing to sign a contract, and if Jon doesn't allow the kids to film, what network is going to battle him in court before the cameras even started rolling? sounds like a lot of money spent and ill will garnered before Kate's bags could even be packed.
As far as her appearance, I think she'd look better with shorter hair, that long stringy hair just makes her face look longer. I'm not too impressed with the color. I like highlights in my hair, but it has to be believable and natural looking, Kate's hair just looks ridiculous.
It's interesting that the two different coasts had different clips. One coast didn't have to watch her swing that leg, lol. It appeared to me that she was looking at a prompt for her talking points.
Someone upthread wondered if she knew what the word acrimonious meant...I wondered the same thing, lol.
Well, she'll never receive a free trip to Disney again. My friend was one of guides assigned to Jon, her and the kids. Said she was an absolute bitch. One of the WORST ever...even beat out the Saudi Princess who took thousands in merchandise because she wanted it. Jon was a nice guy. Disney also will not let those episodes be released, I believe, because "The Happiest Place on Earth" does not believe it is good marketing when a shrew of a mother screams and yells at her kids over a little ice cream until the kids are reduced to tears. Just not the image of good family fun that they want to promote. BTW, I met Princess Di while working there and she was an absolute Lady. Just delightful...and let her kids be kids...ice cream and all.
Me thinks this little media blitz (lol) is for CC's mobile app launch...too bad their spokesperson doesn't quite get the "promote" verb. She barely got "rock and roll" into the marathon reference.
Question for Kate - so just how, exactly, do you "reuse" the zillion paper plates on which you serve the children breakfast/lunch/dinner? (full snark mode on) As plant coasters? Frisbee's? Under furniture legs to protect the carpet and make "your leather couch", easy for the boys to move and vacuum under? Skimmers for "your pool"? Please, please do tell. Do you save the lint from your dryers and make lint art? (fulll snark mode off)
Reuse, repurpose my a$$.
One coast didn't have to watch her swing that leg, lol.

I noticed she only swings her leg when she speaks. I think that helps pump the words up from her ass to out of her mouth.
Found it great that parents of 7 children wanted their children to be separate people;
*****
Me too! That was the designing couple/mom and dad who had a show. 7 kids and they want them all to express their individuality. They let them choose their beds, bedding etc.
What a concept!
She's not getting another show...not ever going to happen. Lightening doesn't strike twice...its over and for once I had the feeling that she knows its over. I didn't sense that determined, positive attitude she usually tries to give off. She could not hide her misery today. That was the first time I've seen her with no fight in her. It looked like she wasn't even enjoying it anymore....the shipped has finally sailed, and the painful fifteen minutes are over...Moving on....

Poor Kate, it had to be the 'editing', ya know...lololol
I'm wondering if she was ultra nervous with Trump there watching her in the green room. We all know Kate is very insecure (she has admitted it herself on DWTS). When she was filming for her show, there were no nerves there. She was just being herself and how frickin easy was that. Sign me up. If she is put on the spot like today for example, her nervousness is quite obvious. Maybe Trump got to her today. Her begging for another reality show with the kids has put me over the edge now. And I agree with some of you here, she needs to start showing some humility. That's always been my main gripe with her. Just once we would like to see her admit a mistake or show that she is trying hard at something. I don't want to hear her say she is trying hard with her kids. Boring. How about trying to change herself. That may completely change my mind about her.

God, her hair is awful. It does nothing for her at all. It shapeless and flat. Makes her forehead look closer to a fivehead.

Oh PJ. LMAO.
iced tea just came out my nose. :)

One coast didn't have to watch her swing that leg, lol.

I noticed she only swings her leg when she speaks. I think that helps pump the words up from her ass to out of her mouth.

Wow! If the decision makers at Coupon Cabin aren't scratching their heads wondering WHY in the hell they ever hired this dolt I would be surprised. I mean, come on. They have a new mobile app debuting and Kate Gosselin seemingly could not promote this important news with even an ounce of genuine, believable enthusiasm. In fact based on her ho-hum (lousy) attitude I'm guessing Kate Gosselin doesn't much like her blogging job and would much rather get paid to be parading around in a string bikini posing for pics taken by her ever present married bodyguard at some exotic location sans her 8 former co-stars.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
lol! If she swung both legs, would that mean double the volume of words being pumped up there? I guess we should be grateful that the one leg is motionless! Kate is not new to interviews or public speaking. Wouldn't you think that by now she would at least have learned something -- ANYTHING -- about giving an interview, and what not to do?
What was the point of that interview? I can imagine Ann Curry walking away, shaking her head saying, "I'm NOT doing that again with that woman. You can't make me!"
I have a serious set of questions for Her Highness Who Feels She Should Be Back on TV.
TV shows have to contain some sort of angle or hook. What exactly would the angle or hook be for her? Let's try some possibilities, and then examine the reasons they wouldn't work:
A. Her dazzling personality and warm sense of humor is endearing to lots of people.
*That's untrue on all counts. Not only that, but there are probably only 50 people in the whole world who would agree with this statement.
B. Her kids are endlessly fascinating and everyone wants to watch them do things.
*That's untrue. They are no more fascinating than the kids on anyone's street.
C. But there are eight of them!
*This angle is now overdone. It's very 2008. Anything else?
D. She is an amazing cook.
*Everyone has seen her dishes and "recipes." To even call them average would be stretching things.
E. She's into fitness! She's a runner!
*So? How would a show be crafted around that? Also, see A for the major problems with this. Horrible personality, lack of speaking skills. Next?
F. She saves money! She clips coupons!
*Again, how could this be turned into a weekly or even a monthly TV show? People have seen seen her "tips" on the CC blog and they are nothing the most rank amateur doesn't know. (Also, re-read the answer to A.)
G. She loves to travel!
*A lot of people love to travel. Even more people would be thrilled to get paid to travel. What does she bring to the table that's different or interesting? A whole bunch of nothing.
H. But her poor kids are so deprived without a TV show and travel and perks!
*That's a horrible reason to produce a TV show and still doesn't give a basis for a show at all.
J. She belongs on TV.
*Actually, her TV presence is awful. She's extremely limited and just isn't cut out for being a media figure.
Anything else?
If she were to list her most honest reason it would be "put me back on TV so I can go back to raking in the money!"
And of course, that's no basis for a show, either.
She's got nothing. No one is going to put her back on TV. Ever. She's done and judging from the looks of that interview, she knows it. She can bleach and fry and iron her hair and tan her backside and veneer her teeth for the rest of her life and she's not getting another TV show.
But, but, but we DIDN'T take posh trips! C'mon you guys, you KNOW it was all "working". Always told where to go (snicker), what to do, what to wear. "I" didn't arrange the schedule. This was my "JOB". Is a business trip posh? Absolutely not. It's work, work, work. Dealing with and navigating different airports, airlines and gates. Carry on items to keep in check. Exhausting x 9.
You silly, silly people - you just don't "Get It!"
Of course the children just played and played and played. Isn't valium great? 1/4 tablet and the children nap so well...4 tabs for me along with free red wine in first class seating and I can sleep all the way to OZ!
I'm glad she's not representing my company. she looked like it was killing her to talk about her current position. She looked very un interested and bored. She WOULD rather be posing and parading around taking pictures...I don't think this is what she invisioned for herself at this point. Really..to be honest, she looked totally disgusted....
Kate screwed up big time. Her interview with the today show was to push the "new app for cell phones with coupon cabin on it" so you could get your discount in the store and not wait until you got home to get the discount by ordering on line.
Different versions of this interview were shown. On the east coast it was all about Kate with photos of her and her kids, all discussion was about her and her kids.
The west cost feed from the today show had been edited but Kate had left the bldg before they could get her to do a voice over announcing the app that would be available on cell phones for customers.
This may very well be the end of Kate and /CC working together. She may get fired for this.

''....In the radio interview recently, I know Jon, when asked, said it would be something he and Kate would need to discuss. As was discussed here, I think he was being politic. He knows the likelihood of Kate getting another reality show for her and the kids is next to nil or nothing.''
~~~
I agree that Jon realizes that there is very little chance of Kate getting another show with the kids. However, IF something should come up, Jon would ''discuss'' it with Kate and then say no. I don't think Jon has changed his mind about the kids being on tv one iota....but there is no reason to say that NOW!! Why set her off when there is no need?

Katykat 175 said "Disney also will not let those episodes be released . . ."
I decided to check this out, mostly for my own curiosity, not because I doubt your word, Katykat. Sure enough, the Disney trip is not listed on any of the "complete season" DVDs. It's also not available on Netflix, Hulu or HuluPlus, or Amazon Instant Video. It MAY be on TLC or on youtube. I didn't look there. Interesting. My opinion of Disney just went up a notch or two.
I watched her this morning and noted the following:
1. At the beginning, Ann Curry asked her how the kids are doing - Kate replied that they're doing great and them immediately launched into a spiel about how badly the kids miss filming, miss the crew, and are constantly asking her when they going on another trip. Could she be any more transparent?
2. Although she seemed to say nice things about Jon, she still managed to trash him in a subtle way by implying that any problems between them were entirely, 100% his fault. She is the saint - he is the scoundrel who is now behaving a little better.
3. She said she threw the sextuplets a birthday party at home just for her kids, without any of their friends present, and that she would hold a party with friends later. Am I the only one to find this weird? I suspect that she said that just to look good and has no intention of holding another party, either because the kids have no friends (I hope that's not the case) or because throwing a party for a dozen or more kids is just too much work for Kate.
Barbara...Thats pretty much it in a nutshell.....ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ........sorry, fell asleep...she is such a bore..
"Um…they’ve gone on." Totally (haha) her weirdest phrase of this latest stilted ramble. They've gone on Khate? As opposed to throwing themselves on the ground in front of the film crew's van and refusing to move? Or have they officially moved out now? Boys in the room above the garage? Maybe you should join them in "On".
Here's a thought, Supermom Krieder....maybe the kids are doing "amazingly, wonderfully, excelling in school" because they are NOT getting dragged out to take non-posh trips? They don't have the cameras in their face until 9:00 p.m. at night, and they can do their homework and get to bed at a decent time?
Her sheep are going to say how of a wonderful job she did on the today show.
I wonder if she did such a poor job promoting the new app because she doesn't understand how the use the app and didn't bother to do her homework?
Instead, after the reading all these wonderful comments, it appears she simple sleep-walked through the reason she was there - the CC app - then spent the rest of the time looking ridiculous. Hopefully, the end is closer than we think.

Hahahaha! Looks like it, AuntieAnn.
It was just another mediocre interview from fake Kate. She said a whole load of nothing as usual.
Shame on NBC for allowing this farce to continue.
Kate tweeted...
Inside Edition airs TODAY... Check your local listings! about 2 hours ago

@Kateplusmy8 you're going to be on Inside Edition today too? 26 minutes ago
No, sheeple. Kate said that just for the heck of it to make her sound important. Jon's going to be on Inside Edition and she's promoting his appearance because they are getting along so well right now!
Sheesh!

Oh, no offense taken. :) That's just my theory. I haven't worked there in 20 yrs., but remember that Image is Everything w/ that company. And face it...Kate was bad PR. Her family didn't look ANYTHING like the ones you see in the commercials. Haha!
Ron Howard was my favorite celeb. He and his family stood in line just like everyone else. :)
