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!"
Oh, and lookie who else is gonna be on!
Perhaps Kate is also hitting up an Apprentice casting call for next season?
Senior (#197), I believe you are 100% right about her inability to explain the new CC app. She DOESN'T UNDERSTAND how it works. What I don't understand is why she wasn't DRILLED on this stuff before she got on TV today. I cannot believe they didn't give her a script and force her to practice. If they ever allow her to "promote" them again, I hope they've learned something from this. She barely got anything out about CC, a huge waste of an opportunity for them.
About Jon letting his kids film again: It occurred to me that he may believe this is the lesser of two evils. We have no idea what Kate has done or said to those children behind the scene once filming stopped. (The first time by Jon and then the final time by TLC.) He may have come to the conclusion that it might be easier to help the kids cope with the filming than it is to help them cope with a raging/lunatic Kate. I mean she was totally comfortable with what was actually filmed, imagine what she must be like now when there is NO ONE watching. Just a thought. I hope I am totally off base.
She has had a busy day. Someone else got the kids from school. Maybe she feels the shades of old times when she was groomed and interviewed. Just too bad there is nothing to promote. Nothing to generate excitement.
She better be thinking of "coming out" with Steve or some other juicy tid bit. Otherwise...just a blip in reality TV history.
NBC staffer said... 189 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.
______________________________________
So hope you are right! In the version I saw, she did mention it in a happenstance way at the end of the interview, but I agree there was no energy in that interview.
Has anyone else wondered why Ann didn't question her about the cruise being cancelled? Very interesting.
I'm sure Ann was told not to bring it up. I mean..she looked bad enough. That would really make her look like a total asshole. Nothing negative...remember?
Judy, Moose, Pink - ha! It's like a little hydraulic mechanism. It stops pumping when she's being asked a question and then it starts again when she answers.
About the kids wanting to have another show... I'll bet any money she's told them there will never be another vacation anywhere outside the konpound unless they get a show. Des führer has made it very clear SHE's not financing any holiday for them so of course they'd say that. Her modus operandi has always been to get what she wants through her kids. Nothing new there.
~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~
KAT said... 2 The end is here....trust me....Its staring us in the face... ====
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.) ))))))))))))))))) Whoa! The Ritz-Carlton Las Vegas at the end of the RV trip wasn't posh? Jeez. And don't get me started on Hawaii. That one would have cost the family 5 digits.
Dmasy 5 he has had a busy day. Someone else got the kids from school ------
All the talk about Jon having more custody of the kids contradicts all of Kate's twittering...to hear her tell it, it sounds like she has them every weekend. I think it was mentioned a while back that Jon was now getting the kids some weekends and Mondays? If that's the case, his weekend could have been this past one, going into tomorrow morning. That would also make sense, since she didn't tweet much since Saturday.
I wonder if Jon would let the kids film again, I sure hope not. Saying it is one thing, doing it is another. I think the only way he'd let that happen again, is if the kids were in danger of losing their private school education, or losing their home. He may not agree with all of Kate's decisions, but they signed the TLC contract together, and bought that house together, too. I don't think he'd want the kids to lose those two things, dang, they've been through enough already.
I disagree. Public school is just fine if you can't afford an expensive private school and she can downsize the house. Jon needs to stay true and .of give in to her.
What's sad is AGAIN she missed a golden opportunity to promote two things that could have generated her future income (of sorts): Coupon Cabin and R&R races. BUT she had to spend the whole time talking about how much the kids want a TV show, throwing Jon under the bus.
She is supposed to be a SPOKESPERSON, she had a TON to talk about today, but as usual was horrible. She could have even mentioned the cruise, as in economy so bad no one was able to go, so I have EXTRA tips on CC regarding travel bargains for family trips. That whole lemons into lemonade thing. The appearance on the Today Show could have been a triumph for her. But of course, it's Kate and she does NOTHING to help herself succeed.
I would not worry about Jon saying yes or no to filming...there actully has to be an offer by a network and thats not going to happen..its worrying about something that will not happen...She's POISON at this point and no one will take her on...she's too much trouble. She's not worth all the flack they would have to endure. Simply put...shes A PAIN IN THE ASS!!!!
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. _______________________________
This would be my guess: The things Jon says, now that their children can see these interviews on TV, are to decrease the chance of "parent alienator" behavior.
If my spouse was telling my children something along the lines of "that it's your daddy's fault that we couldn't keep going on all the nice trips, have all the nice luxuries, have mommy be happy so she didn't yell so much, etc....because he made trouble about us being on TV so now we are struggling and mommy is unhappy"....then I think I'd also finesse it (on venues where my children could see it) as a situation where I was "working with" my spouse and trying to be accommodating about these things (whether I had no intention of allowing it or not.
Heather, ITA. Kate was being watched this morning and she failed to accomplish her primary goal, which was to talk about CC. That shouldn't surprise anyone, though. Haven't her CC blogs lately been about her and not about couponing?
Kate wants her old show back and she hasn't quite grasped that that format is over and done with for her. She needs to stop focusing on the past and start promoting herself as a spokesperson, if that's what she wants to do.
Denial is such an ugly thing, almost as ugly as desperation. I don't think she's desperate yet, but I think it's right around the corner.
It's interesting...when you read the transcript of her interview... the number of "um"'s increases significantly when she talks about Jon. Almost every other word is punctuated by an "um".
A language expert would have a field day with that - nervous much, Kate, passive-aggressively throwing your ex under the bus??!!
I just checked the Inside Edition website. When you scroll to the bottom, there is a section reading "Inside Deals Coupons". That takes you to a page where you can select 57 different coupons for vaious products including food items.
She may not be pushing Coupon Cabin on Inside Edition if it is considered competition.
It will be interesting to hear what she has to say today because obviously whatever she had to say the last time (which wasn't 'shown') wasn't considered relevant - much like the woman herself.
Kate will never make it, longterm, as a spokesperson because the only thing she has an avid interest in is herself. And the sad thing is she can't even do a good job at promoting Kate much less someone else's product.
I noticed that, too. When she got to the Jon portion of the "interview," her ums increased dramatically, and they were already bad!
I got the distinct sense she's been TOLD to be as nice as she can possibly be about Jon, and that was it: that was AS NICE as she could possibly be about him. And you could tell it was like she was having to swallow rusty nails.
Her eyes, they freak me out. Anyone else? They're so...dead. Kind of evil looking, like there's so much anger and hatred in there.
I can't blame her for being unhappy, though. She has to wake up EVERY SINGLE DAY and be HER. Can you imagine? She can't escape her miserable self.
Well, well. SOMEONE was standing off the side while Kate was on Today snapping photos which have been picked up by the online tabs. Who could it have been? HA, HA Steve.
Ah, the celebrity spokesperson for Coupon Cabin went on the Today Show to promote their new app and umm, kinda almost sorta barely mentioned it. Oh dear god, this is what they hired?
I am also pretty sure that Ann Curry did not ask about the Kate cruise because she is completely unaware that there was one. KG is not anyone AC had to do any research on for an interview. She probably lost the short straw, or really, K8 was never going to be interviewed by anyone else. AC was probably told to ask her a few questions about the kids, her new life, etc and then let her do her promotion. And we saw (well those of you who can stand to watch, and I do thank you for that, saw) that once again, K8 hung herself out to twist in the wind.
Career in tv with that personality? I hardly think so, what with the ums, the swinging foot and her own inability to do the simplest polite things, like mention her interviewer by name, or thank her BY NAME at the end. Has K8 ever watched a tv interview, ever? Honestly, I could do better and cameras scare me.
And as much as I hate myself for doing this, she really looks awful, truly like someone her age TRYING hard to be 20 years younger. The flat hair is aging, the color is unnatural and her face, sadly, looks odd, can't quite put a finger on what she has done to it. And this is all too bad, because she was attractive in a perky sort of way just a few years ago. Lot of glam could have happened without the permanent damage she has done to hair, skin and face. Sad, really.
I am not a fan of Ann Curry, but I am truly sorry her Monday morning work included the interview with this twit.
Reality Bites said... 184 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 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You've nailed it. CC is now learning what all the past companies who hired Kate to be their spokesperson- she sucks.
I would bet the farm that CC paid for her to ride to NYC in a limo last night, paid for fish in paper, put her and Skeeve up at the Essex (eww, I need my brain bleach) all so she could appear on national TV and talk about the new Coupon Cabin phone app. What they got in return was Kate giving the app a brief mention. All while spending most of the time talking about herself and making a desperate plea for a new reality show. CC now knows what Kmart, Proctor&Gamble, The Sandwich Council, Healthtex etc. all learned the hard way.
The kids are ready to travel again? THEN TAKE THEM SOMEWHERE YOURSELF YOU STUPID BITCH! She is a sorry excuse for a self-titled supermom if she can't take her kids on vacation, to the movies, Trick or Treating and pretty much everywhere else without it being filmed and TLC footing the bill.
As far as getting a new PR person, good luck with that. Kate is uncoachable. I think what Kate is looking for is a PR person who "knows how to help her." In other words, let her do whatever she wants. Kate wants a PR person who tells her it's ok to tweet that you are struggling fincially even when a 3rd (sports) car was recently purchased. Or a PR person who praises her for accepting gifts and gift cards from her tweeple, not scold her and tell her that she should suggest the people donate to charity instead. Or a PR person who tells her it's ok to pull the "u don't know wat I know" crap as a way to imply she has knowlege of wrongdoing by others. I'm sure JCM and Kate have gone round & round about her abrasivness, greedyness and diva behavior, all to no avail. Kate probably thinks she's unemployed because Julie isn't working hard enough to get her a gig. It doesn't occur to her in the least that she's Hollywood poison because she's a z-list reality star, and a hateful mean one at that. She could go through 20 PR persons and she will never, ever get it.
Ok, just saw the Inside Edition: it was less than a min interview, and at the end of the show. According to IE, that is Kates new hair do. It is hidious! Is that the best Ted gibson can do? That is awlful. Gibson must have seen her coming. Hey, Kate we have a swamp for you to buy, you will make millions off of it.
Ok, people is Kate jealous of Jon having a GF . Her answer to the Jon gf question sounded so jealous.
That dress is awful and what's happening to her body? She looks bloated. And those implants are too big. The dress makes her upper arms look sausage-like.
AND DAMN, I noticed her hair was bad in the video, but look at that picture. I'm becoming convinced Jason is doing this on purpose. It looks awful. Fried, dry, different lengths, WAY too brassy, way too bleached out, just awful. I cannot BELIEVE anyone would pay to have that done to their hair!
Or possibly she's insisting on this kind of look and he's just rolling his eyes and going along with it, knowing it'll look bad, but beyond caring. I have a good friend who is an excellent hair stylist and colorist and she's done the same with very insistent customers who just KNOW they're right. She says hey, if they insist on looking like shit, against her advice, then let them.
All in all, the outside reflects what's going on on the inside, and the inside is baaaaaaaad.
By the way, I love that 99.9999% of all the comments on every site that is running this non-story are negative. SUPER negative. With maybe one or two weakly worded "hey leave her alone" type comments. No big support at all. Mostly people are laughing that she said she has fans.
I noticed the increase in the number of um's also, when she started talking about Jon.
IMO it's because she's lying about something. Who knows what the lie is, but it's there.
You can also tell she's lying there because her voice gets even more monotone than it normally does (if that's possible). And her leg starts twitching more, cuz she's trying to hide something. Who knows what.
I think the lying also explains her lack of eye contact with AC.
Her whole spiel is a lie, and she doesn't want to get caught lying, so she starts twitching, won't look the interviewer in the eye, and starts spewing the um's.
Mainly negative comments about Kate's 'appearance' on the show..I skimmed the few articles covering it quickly. Appearance in both senses of the word! I agree her implants are too big (I suspect she got a second 'good bra') and that hair is hideous. A lot of people said she seems unhappy with her present life, and I guess that's true.
That dress is awful and what's happening to her body? She looks bloated. And those implants are too big. The dress makes her upper arms look sausage-like.
AND DAMN, I noticed her hair was bad in the video, but look at that picture. I'm becoming convinced Jason is doing this on purpose. It looks awful. Fried, dry, different lengths, WAY too brassy, way too bleached out, just awful. I cannot BELIEVE anyone would pay to have that done to their hair! ************* God, are you one of those obnoxious stereotypes of a suburban mother who stands around critiquing the looks and dress of all the other mothers while you profess your vast superiority? Or do you just play one of those on the Internet?
This interview just shows how bad she is in front of a camera when she is not running the show. Really, its hilarious how she once claimed she wanted to do a talk show because she had the "gift of gab". I can truthfully say I have never seen anyone with less of a gift of gab than her,
And, the reason she looked so uncomfortable is because she hasn't yet pulled that stick out as Jon suggested and it has now become the size of a full grown oak tree limb.
Dear Kate, your network portfolio is complete, we've seen enough, you should have mentioned the chickens. (Cut to DWTS tape where Kate is wiping her eyes saying "Look, I just need somebody to teach me the way I learn.. I don't get it, I just don't get it".)
I am also pretty sure that Ann Curry did not ask about the Kate cruise because she is completely unaware that there was one. KG is not anyone AC had to do any research on for an interview.
=========
Or maybe she was told, under penalty of severeness from Purse Boy, not to mention it.
God, are you one of those obnoxious stereotypes of a suburban mother who stands around critiquing the looks and dress of all the other mothers while you profess your vast superiority? Or do you just play one of those on the Internet?
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Are you one of those internet trolls who repeatedly ignores posting rule #3 just because you think you can get away with it?
There really was no reason for Kate to be on the show. She didn't say anything ( which is good) about the kids other than they are 'doing awesome.' Nothing about their interests or activities. It was about Kate's marathon, CC, recipes, relationship with Jon. She said the 'fans' are begging to see what the kids are doing now, not her. She still needs them to be relevant. It was J&K PLUS 8 which had real fans, not Kate herself.Not counting the sheeple.
#39, awwwww, does it hurt to hear how bad Kate looks these days?
Well, here's the good news for you: she won't be on TV very often (or at all) after this for anyone TO criticize her complete lack of dress sense and horrible face, skin and hair.
Hi! I'm Katy and new here. ---------- Hi Katy! Welcome.
Just watched the TS clip. It was making me cringe. Seriously.
She practically slammed-in that part about wanting to film with the kids again...as if she couldn't get it in there fast enough before someone stopped her. Ann C. seemed kinda stunned....like it hadn't been part of the planned interview.
Whenever she's interviewed, it feels like she's been given advice and makes some attempt to try to remember it but just can't help herself...and any opportunity to talk about herself is just too attractive to her and she just can't stop herself.
And then...she'll remember the advice she was given and try to follow what she remembers..."be nice", etc...but it's just SOOOO hard for her. She sounds so forced then.
But that part about she and the kids filming again...boy she just lobbed that in there like a hardball....like she was gonna get that in FAST just in case Ann C. started babbling with all sorts of boring questions Kate wasn't really interested in much. :D
And IS cooking from scratch less expensive? I cook from scratch and it's pretty darn expensive. Buying good, fresh ingredients IS expensive. It tastes a whole lot better and it's a whole lot better FOR you....but is it really less expensive?
@Remona~ I completely agree with you regarding Jon. If Jon says no to anything it causes, I'm sure, a sh*tstorm of nasty accusations from Kate in front of the kids. I'd be doing the same thing he's doing if I was him (regarding the whole "working with Kate" issue).
Dmasy: IE asked her about Jon having a GF(cause of his recent interview): Kate replied: something like: I don't care that Jon has a GF, then she said something and then said: this GF that GF, who knows how many he has or something like that. It sounded very jealous, and Kate did not like the question either.
And the one on Today show - I got the feeling she was pissed. Someone told her that morning she would get 2-3 minutes between a drunk mom and Tan Mom. Three bad moms in a row - even narcissistic monster kart got the implication there.
I bet she thought she'd get to rub shoulders with The Donald and worm an invitation to CA. She looked pretty annoyed that she wasn't being treated with the proper respect and awe.
And poor Anne Curry, she's a real dipshit, but I agree with the poster above that she drew the short straw for who would get stuck with kart.
The whole interview was so, so, so awkward to watch. And the fact that they edited it before airing on west coast is very telling, isn't it? The show producer probably said "shit, do something with this crap before the folks on the west coast see how badly we goofed putting her on - try to salvage 'something' for gawd's sake". You KNOW there was some hair pulling in the editing booth this morning!
And I'd bet buckets of money that kart left NYC after getting her Nobu fish in paper just whining, yelling and bitching at purseboy.
One of these days he will tell her to eff off... even he will start to see what a loser-wreck she is.
How much of that pathetic hair is hers, do you think? Say, 50-50 real vs extensions?
Once CC fires her, what will she have left? Nothing...................
Sorry for the ramble. Worked too hard at the gym today and I need some tylenol. This mess is making my body ache more than I can stand.
Kate is dressing the way she does and wears her hair that way because people comment how she is "so hot". That is how the Inside Edition person referred to her. He commented on her long, straight hair. And when she made the rounds on other tabloid tv shows last year, many commented to her "hotness". I bet she will grow her hair even longer...because she is "so hot". VOMIT!
It worries me that she mentioned the kids and doing projects together. That is when Ann mentioned another tv show. I hope Kate isn't planning on a food tv network show like "Pioneer Woman" where her kids would be a part of it. I really want her to disappear totally from tv.
Senior (#197), I believe you are 100% right about her inability to explain the new CC app. She DOESN'T UNDERSTAND how it works. What I don't understand is why she wasn't DRILLED on this stuff before she got on TV today. I cannot believe they didn't give her a script and force her to practice. If they ever allow her to "promote" them again, I hope they've learned something from this. She barely got anything out about CC, a huge waste of an opportunity for them.
==========
Maybe they figured ANYONE would be bright enough to know, if you're sent on TV to promote something, you promote it. Rave about, brag on it, give the website address and "how to do it" spiel twice. Not ol' Katie. Still hoping someone will pay her to showcase her kids. That's what she was plugging! She's such a doofus.
By the way, you all are hilarious today! Never gonna be able to look at Kate pumping that leg the same way again, AuntieAnn.

mama mia said... 41 Cut to DWTS tape where Kate is wiping her eyes saying "Look, I just need somebody to teach me the way I learn.. I don't get it, I just don't get it".
-=====
The way she "learns" is to get someone else to do it FOR her so she doesn't have to the work. That is exactly why she failed miserably on DWTS. No one could dance FOR her. Lots of people go on that show without an inkling of how to dance but they learn by following instructions and doing the work to succeed. Kate is too friggin' lazy to go that extra mile for anything. Her blog and her website are more examples of her not putting any effort into the job. She's useless.
Kate needs to give up the idea of making the kids support her. The kids are doing well in school BECAUSE they are no longer working. I hope circumstances allow the G kids to remain in their private school. They need that one constant in their lives.
I am in 'agreeance' (Kate's word) about her appearance. I am one of the few that never thought she was attractive; I thought she was just nondescript. It's ironic that all her money spent on clothes, shoes, botox, fillers, hair coloring, and teeth whitening has only made her look older. Guess part of that old and hard look could be due to dieting (losing fat pockets in her face, for ex.).
I noticed too all the um's she spewed while talking about Jon, thought that was a tell-tale sign of lying and just making crap up,lol.
No, Kate, you do not owe your 6 fans a look-see into your kid's lives...and your kids do not owe you a living. GET A JOB.
I think cooking from scratch can be cheaper than eating out all the time, depending on what you're cooking. For example, my husband and kids and I love fondue. Going out to La Fondue would run us close to $200 for our family. I can make the same meal at home, including salad, cheese fondue, Court Bouillon, and dessert for about $70-$80.
A meal at Denny's - $50. Same meal at home - $10-20.
Honey, there is no doubt at all that the posters here, with possible exception of you, are vastly, incredibly and indisputably better people than kart.
We don't have to discuss it. We know. She has shown us, over and over again. We've seen her on her TV show, in interviews and on her so-called blog.
She's nothing. She's got nothing, she is nothing and she defines the words 'poor mother', 'arrogant female' and 'delusional bitch'.
In fact, Embodiment, I follow her occasionally because it confirms to me how much better a person I am than her.
I've got her beat in the mother department, in the personality department, in the compassion department, in the wife department, in the work ethic department..... the list is endless.
AND every other poster on here who dislikes what kart is and has done to her kids, family, ex-friends, ex-husband, random strangers, TV staff and any other sentient beings IS BETTER THAN HER TOO.
I will forever stand in amazement at just how unaware she is at how she acts and comes across to others.
Anyone with one brain cell would have figured out how to salvage the dream life she wants. Not her. Her personality disorder prevents her from getting it.
I feel so abjectly sorry for her kids and Jon for what she put him through.
That dress is awful and what's happening to her body? She looks bloated. And those implants are too big. The dress makes her upper arms look sausage-like.

From Kate's new PR woman, no doubt. Perhaps you should "research" the person you are representing before you decide to go down that slippery slope.
As to maybe why Kate is wearing her hair that way: one of her tweeties is 24 and she said something about peers and kate replied that she would like to be her peer. Kate thinks she is 24 again.
Ha. In that video I posted the link to (here it is again: http://www.insideedition.com/videos/1436/inside-edition-speaks-with-kate-gosselin.aspx )
watch her EYES at about the 57 second mark. The interviewer is setting up a question about Jon. Watch her eyes the SECOND the interviewer gets to "meeting his girlfriend..." It actually make me laugh out loud. They totally go all nasty, dark and lidded at that very second.
Please. Bitch can say "what girlfriend?" and act like she doesn't care, but her eyes are a dead give-away.
Virginia Pen Mom- I wish I could draw a diagram of that leg pump action with the string mechanism and metal levers... like a ventriloquist dummy. lol. ~~~~ ~~~~
Kate says she and Jon have come to an agreement "behind the scenes". WTF? She's nuts. The cameras are OFF Kate. Gone. They're not there anymore!! My god she's thick.
I wonder if Kate's appearance is a manifestation of her personality. She's just not capable of being "normal". In her interviews, she's either over the top grinning and falsely enthusiastic or she's completely flat and angry looking. She just can't seem to settle on pleasant and engaging.
I believe her comment about swimming even if it's 40 degrees comes directly from our discussions here. And, I believe she *tried* to say nice things about Jon, again, because of our discussions here about her always "throwing him under the bus." Her attempt was lame, but she was clearly (to me anyway) reacting to our conversations.
Kate is a witch: if that didn't define being jealous of Jon having a GF, I don't know what does. Kate could have avoided, the whole question by saying: I'm happy for Jon, and hope that I can find someone. But Kate had to blast it out of proportion, making her sound very jealous of Jon.
Well Jon's latest gf (it's been 2 in 2 years Kate, just two.) showed more class than Kate. When asked how it went meeti Kate she politely said she was fine.
Watch her eyes the SECOND the interviewer gets to "meeting his girlfriend..." It actually make me laugh out loud. They totally go all nasty, dark and lidded at that very second. ====
Ah yes. The old "dark eye" look.
She's just SO pissed that Jon's moved on and here she's stuck with purseboy.
~~~~~ ~~~~ JudyK - I think you're right too. Or could it be Steve pretending to be the new PR gal because the new PR gal quit already?
Nope, not Kate's PR person. Just a simple gal who isn't fond of catty bitches.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
But comes on here as a bitch to call others obnoxious. In that case, I guess the simple gal isn't very fond of herself, either. Yeah, well, okay. Makes perfect sense to me!
I'm Sure, you may not discuss the posters here. Discuss the topics and opinions not the people making them. This is not a blog for you to set up shop to take down all the catty bitches of the world, go somewhere else.
Kate may have inadvertently forgotten to mention the cc app (which was the whole purpose of the interview) simple because she loathes having to be a coupon blogger...it was very clear that her fingernails were scratching down the side of the sinking ship she's on which was why she was blurting out as fast as she could about the kids wanting to be on a show and missing the crew before she went overboard and her ugly straw head goes under. It was her last ditch effort to get it out there (what she really wants) and she really didn't care if she screwed CC...I guarantee if she got another offer (no chance in hell), she would dump CC as fast as she could. She is only loyal to herself.
I haven't read all of the comments yet, but her tips to "Be organized" and "Plan ahead". Sounds good, but she never follows these "tips". Over and over we've seen her running out last minute to get things for a party or holiday. She even admits on twitter that some major celebration "snuck up" on her! How do your kids birthdays or holiday celebrations sneek up on you?
We've all been behind at for various things, but she makes a living trying to prove how organized and prepared she is, and her actions just don't match her words.
And the crap abou Jon finally starting to work with her, OH PLEASE. The nasty woman who refused to let him pick the kids up at the house and made him wait at the end of the driveway, but she implies that she was always willing to work with him?!
I wish this woman would smell what she's shovelling.
That video clip on IE. She is on some type of sedative. Her eyes keep doing funny things. They almost look like they are rolling back in their sockets a few times. Especially at the point she is asked about Jon's girlfriend. Check it out.
What is your point of posting here? I am all for a positive dialogue.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
That's what I don't understand. If she/he/it doesn't like catty bitches, then why torment oneself by being here? Why post on a blog that you don't like? No reason for it, other than to just set oneself up as a shit-stirrer. There are other playgrounds out there. Find one.
This is the same poster who has been here in the past. You can't teach old dogs new tricks, or in this case, old sheeple new writing styles, no matter how many IDs they use. Same old, same old and it's so obvious.
The IE video shows how her face has changed, and not for the better. I am far older than Kate, and I do NOT have those lines on my face. She looks TERRIBLE. And the tanning only pronounces the lines.
If she is wanting to pitch a healthy, organic cooking and/or fitness show, her face truly shows how unhealthy she is. She needs to start eating some real food. She looks terrible.
I know its been said all day but the thing about the crew is priceless. How could her kids miss a crew they haven't met yet? Thats her standard line. They're not going to have the same crew if a different network hired them. What in Gods name is she talking about? She sounds like a broken record. Her kids missing some imaginary crew isn't going to land her a show. Stop blaming the kids and say what is really being missed.... THE BIG PAY CHECK. She has lost her marbles....I really cant wrap my head around her thinking that people actually take her seriously...
Kate is so lacking in true social skills it is pathetic. That Me, Me, Me, mentality was right there for all to view on the Today Show interview. If all this begging works out, and they are given another television show, ever, I'm cancelling my cable tv. We need more talent driven programs to watch, not more no-talent reality shows. A little humility would go a long way, Kate. You and Jon were given the promise of a "gold mine" and you blew it. Get a clue and get a "mediocre" job to support your kids. Take them shopping and on trips with your own dime. If you work for it, maybe the appreciation chip will kick in for all of you. If I owned CC site, I'd fire Kate in a "NY minute." She did nothing to promote their company.
Thanks for the IE link, and yes, I saw the look in her eyes...how bitchy... "this girlfriend, that girlfriend" or whatever she was conveying about Jon's relationships. (Her eyes in general these days look weird, cat-like- Botox, at her age?)
She is very inarticulate and has poor grammar. Not so good to do these interviews if 'speaking' is her forte.
chefsummer said... 196 Her sheep are going to say how of a wonderful job she did on the today show *************** You got that right, chefsummer! They are saying how great she looked and how articulate she is. Wow, if that's what they call articulate, they must all be a bunch of backwoods hillbillies with fourth-grade educations.
I think it threw the interview off when she immediately started begging for a new show--no easing into it, just--bam! I want a new reality show! In the first 30 seconds. After that, the whole thing just went downhill. Poor Ann. Where do you go from there?
I looked at the listing for Inside Edition tonight--they are interviewing a couple who had two babies die from co-sleeping. No mention of Kate, but that's who she's sharing air time with. I bet nobody knows what their names are, but THEY are the ones who made the listing, not her.
Judy K, 91 -- you can delete any comment of your own that you don't feel right about. There is a tiny trash can right by the date and time. Click on it. Viola! Good Luck.
Okay, sorry for all my posting errors in #82, I was typing fast while preparing dinner!
sneak, not sneek about, not abou behind for, not behind at for
Hope I caught them all!
Also, the kids swimming in the pool regardless of the temperature. I'm sorry, but that is just very poor parenting. Various kids were sick and out of school during the 2 week period prior to the pool party. Why put your child's health in jeopardy again and risk more time out of school.
Also, to the recent troll, if you don't like our comments, why come here? If Kate doesn't like our comments, then she needs to stop making all of these things public via twitter, her blog, and interviews.
Does Kate ever watch the clips of herself? I remember Carrie Ann saying that she's never seen anyone with so little self-awareness. How can Kate not recognize the fact that her communication skills are next to nothing? How can she watch herself and not know that she can't speak? My gosh, the woman can't even start a sentence without "um." It's the firest word out of her mouth. Listen to the Inside interview. It's pathetic. Isn't she embarrassed by this...the speech, language skills, no eye contact? Wouldn't you think that by now she would realize that she has no gift of public speaking, let alone any gift of gab?
Virginia Pen Mom said... I wish I could draw a diagram of that leg pump action with the string mechanism and metal levers... like a ventriloquist dummy. lol.
************************************************
Well, her kicking leg can become a useful part of a Rube Goldberg machine...
Kate's eyes always do that "cat" thing when you say something that pisses her off! She had the same eye expressions today that she did on DWTS when the judges criticized her and every time the score of 4 or 5 came up. Go back and watch the dancing clips and u will see what I mean.
Khate ain't 'jelus' because Jon has a girlfriend, she's angry because that girlfriend got a longer interview bit on a tv tabloid show than she did. Sad to say, of the three of them Khate was the only one with a slight purpose for being on tv. Hope the pay was good.
silimom said... 54 I think cooking from scratch can be cheaper than eating out all the time, depending on what you're cooking. For example, my husband and kids and I love fondue. Going out to La Fondue would run us close to $200 for our family. I can make the same meal at home, including salad, cheese fondue, Court Bouillon, and dessert for about $70-$80. ----------- I thought from scratch meant making something from it's full ingredient list instead of, say, heating up a frozen meal?
I didn't even bother to comment on her desire for another reality show for her and the kids. It's pointless because that's just wishful thinking on her part and it isn't going to happen.
From the Inside Edition interview: "[Jon] definitely lives a different life than me and the kids do."
For someone who thinks she could make a living with her "gift of gab," Kate should master the basics. It should be "than the kids and I do." It seems sort of symbolic that she would place herself first there.
Her face is SO botoxed. One reason she looks so creepy and weird is that her forehead doesn't move and the rest of her face barely does. She has a strange, witchy expression, and her eyes have a darkness. She just needs a broomstick and a black hat to complete the look.
Different opinions are allowed. Attacking posters here is not. Detailing a thread is also not. Being rude to people here is not. Behaviors like this are not excused as just expressing another opinion. See the last thread for how intelligent and polite people discuss a controversial topic like education and disagree a lot without it turning into the crap on this thread. Knock it off.
Her fans either turned tail and ran, or we are back on moderation. It's amazing, you ask them a few questions and then they disappear. I'd really like to know their viewpoints. :)
The more I think about it, I actually laugh out loud that Kate couldn't wait more than 24 seconds into the Today Show interview to grasp for a show for hersel...err..."the kids". I don't ever recall seeing anyone else do that on tv. It's called self-respect, Kate. Get some.
Kate's eyes always make me think she's either tired, stoned or hungover.
As for Jon living a completely different life than her and the kids - Really? He seems to have given up the party lifestyle, but I could be wrong. In fact, Kate seems to be the one who is jet setting hither, thither and non.
Wow, watched the IE clip--she looked like she was about to fall asleep, alternating with being majorly pissed off. And she wanted people to watch that? She may have thought she was putting herself "out there", but I think she did herself more harm than good. Started off bad and just got worse as the day went on.**Shudder**
Kate is Krazy, 108 -- I think you have to be logged into Google to see the trash can. You don't need to have a public blogger account to do that. I hope I am giving your correct info. I am not the most educated computer person.
Never posted here before - thought everyone might enjoy this photo from the Today show...... http://www.zimbio.com/pictures/vbz8WPJQQkG/Kate+Gosselin+Today+Show/StVdE2v8Hz1
Aggiemom -- Again, I am not 100% sure. But, I think all the blue names for posters are logged in to Google. (You will have the option of posting a photo for your profile, too.) The black names are posting from another source.
It took me awhile to figure all this out. I was an anonymous for a long time!
It was sad, here Kate thought she was gonna flirt with Matt and he was off today. lol
Then Kate wasn't allowed to wait in the green room, she had to sit on that damn sofa for 15 min. Trump and his entourage had the green room blocked off. lol
Then Kate gets Anne Curry, who dispises her. You could see no love between these two. When Kate said her kids were doing so well in school across the board or some dumb thing. Anne said "acrossed the board?" and Kate repeated yes they are all doing so well across the board....wow, could feel the fire.lol
The dress? The boobs hanging down? Steve forgot to pack the good bra?lol But that dress? Did her mother or grandmother lend it to her? Ugly. lol
Her hair and makeup? Very sad, this was an attractive, naturally nice looking women when the kids were 3 yrs old. Now she looks sooooooooo old and so almost bald. lol
She can't speak, she can work for CC, she cannot speak, she has no idea what sentence structure is. So sad. lol
So she left NY and the Essex House (do they have bed bugs? Not exactly Trump Place you know) lol
Back to Wernersville and the Mansion overlooking her many, many acres, just in time for the wonderful, well developed, excelling in school children to arrive home. lol
Kate had no zip, no smile in her eyes and I hardly saw those big veneer teeth, no big smiles (as Anne is not a fan of Kate')lol lol
I do have to be serious for a moment. I do not think Kate nor Jon is stupid. lol I'm serious though. I think Kate was so angry at Jon for walking away from that money, trips, house, etc., that she blames him for her even losing K+8. Everything bad was Jon's fault. All he had to do was pretend on camera and Jon needed to get out there and "play around with those women who were flirting with him" Childish.
Now they both realize, there is no real money left. Jon never got a big job like he thought he was going to get with Michael Lohan, lol
Kate has finally realized that a once a week Blog was not going to get her any money, clothes but most of all, staying home with those 8 kids, that is driving her crazy. Yet she has no talent or skills by herself.
Kate and Jon would love to get back on TV and do whatever they have to do, pretend, fight, stay divorced and try to travel together, whatever it takes, as long as Kate can bring Steve with her and Jon has his girlfriends. But with all the celebrities willing to expose their underwear or lack of it, like the Kardashians and everyone from 90210. All those housewives shoes.
Kate had her chance and that was 8 yrs ago when realtiy was pretty new and then Jon blew it all out of the water, Kate got a bigger head (and I think it is still growing)and a bad attitude.
Kate never learned to treat people/fans/sponsors like CC right. She doesn't realize we can not go backward in life, we must learn to move forward.
Kate had her chance by blogging and getting big in the world of Bloggers, coupons, etc., this is a big and new field. She has screwed everything up because she wants to travel, get free clothes, shoes, etc.
Kate needs a psychiatrist because these kids are growing fast, have problems (Joel thought 37 on Kate's birthday cake was 73, dyslexia) and these kids will require a lot of money to stay in private school.
Kate never listened to anyone, she never pretended she loved everyone, she truly expected everything to be given to her. She, for some reason, truly believes she deserves everything for free. She has 8 children. God Bless those children. What a screwed up mess and Kate will not get a job for money.
Improbable Dream, I agree with you completely. You can see the turmoil and unhappiness on her face.
I'm sure part of it is that she knows the well is running dry and sees that there is little chance of refilling it again to what she had a few years ago. I think it is really starting to sink in that those days are probably gone forever. She can put on her bravado when twittering all of the positive quotes and thoughts, but she can't disguise the truth that shows on her face.
There's also a part of me that says it's not just seeing everything slip away that is bothering her; I do believe that this is just her natural countenance. Even when she was on top of the world, she was still unhappy, nasty, and bitchy. She was mean to everyone around her and complained about even the smallest things, blowing them way out of proportion.
We have a friend who is male, but is like Kate is so many ways; he is just never happy about anything and always finds something to complain about. He and his wife designed their home and had it built about 15 years ago. They built a 5 bedroom although they have no kids. They were having problems with the high mortgage, but her mother (who is very wealthy) came to the rescue.
One Christmas she paid off their new cars and their credit cards for them. Our friend still complained about how tough things were for them (although they go to FL for 2 weeks every year and stay at a resort).
A few Christmases later (about 8 or 9 years ago), her mother said she was giving them their inheritance early instead of making them wait until she passed away. So she paid off their house. She wanted them to no longer be stressed with the bills.
This would make anyone ecstatic, but our friend now complains about the utility bills and the annual taxes. They both make good money so none of this should be a problem, but he is just continually unhappy and never satisfied.
Sorry for the long post, but this is how I see Kate as well. It will never be enough.
Well, there you have it. Proof that Kate is still totally willing to exploit her kids for profit.
Not just willing; she's itching, hoping and begging. I just pray that no one is interested.
And how is it not totally creepy that she brings 'the fans' and 'the crew' into it?
She didn't mention money issues or losing their home or private school or even opportunities the kids might not otherwise get.
Nope, the kids miss the crew (kudos to those of you who pointed out how ridiculous that statement is - because yeah having a television crew in their lives is so much more important than having grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins) and HER fans want to see them.
That, to me, is more telling than anything else about this whole tragedy. Kate's really willing to expose her kids to the ongoing invasion of their privacy and continued exploitation because Milo and CJ say they'd just love to see the kids grow up?
WTF!?!?
Anyone who doesn't see something seriously disturbing about that has some major morality issues.
What mom wouldn't be on the phone to her lawyer looking into restraining orders if some stranger on the internet was twittering about wanting to watch her kids grow up?
I've said this before: kart 'could have' made it big... she had the opportunity and the set-up (HOM).
She could have worked out some kind of deal that made her money (for her KIDS, of course, snerk), gave her 18 years of TV exposure and the lifestyle she craved.
But her personality, her greed + laziness, her arrogance and ignorance got in her way.
Cases in point:
1. Martha Stewart is widely recognized as a bitch behind the scenes. Not a bitch-because-she's-a-powerful-woman bitch, but just a rude arrogant person. She had a dream AND (here's the important thing) she had talent and/or recognized enough to hire talent.
She knew what she didn't know, and what she did and didn't do well and hired staff to make her business look good. She has respect for her shareholders and is a darned good business woman, personality notwithstanding.
Her staff did all the research, laid the tables, tilled the gardens, polished the silver, decorated her homes and she claimed credit.
That used to chap my ass. BUT, I have grudgingly come to agree that her magazines are good, they are works of art actually, her sense of style is impeccable and she has really good articles and photos in her publications.
Didn't like her as a person but agreed that she had amazing work ethic and produced an industry that has come to define style and domestic arts.
2. Paula Deen pulled herself up by her bootstraps and worked like a dog to raise her boys after her husband left her. I met her once and she was charming in that southern way she has. This was years ago and admittedly her accent and demeanor was not as thick as it has become.
Love her recipes or hate them, she worked hard and made something of herself. She had talent and worked hard. I've never read anywhere that she threw her deserting husband under the bus.
3. The Dilly's. Becky and her husband had 6 kids after their first child. They are good people, and did some limited TV in the early years. They put the TV money aside for the kids to grow for college funds.
They worked hard, kept their jobs except for a short time when dad stayed home and Becky worked full-time as a nurse. They are kind and grateful people who are good parents.
They even sold the large donated house and downsized home as a way to pay their own way.
And they protected their childrens' privacy!
These are only three people I can think of who had a dream, overcame adversity, WORKED HARD, made the most of their opportunities. I'm sure you all here can think of many more people who were successful in light of presumed adversity. Folks who made it just by hard work....
What do they have in common? Work ethic, ability to navigate interpersonal relationships, some kind of talent to market, smarts to figure out a long-term niche.
kart has none of those things. And she has no clue that she's clueless.
Again I say, I will always be amazed at her inability to 'get it' and her complete failure at everything. I always thought no one could be that unlucky or inept.
A sad waste. And her window of opportunity is closed.
Brings to mind that Courtney Stodden chick or Heidi/Spencer duo. Now they are true blue idiots, but at least there no kids who will suffer for it.
Angie you bring up one very good point that is quite ironic.
What did Kate used to say to Jon all the time when they were at the pinnacle of their popularity?: "We can never go back"
Well Kate, take your own advice. Your 15 minutes are up, and you "can never go back". It's time to move on from your past, your fame has faded. Settle into mediocre life and raise your children, simply and honestly.
What exactly does that mean, Jon is living a different life from her and the kids?
Obviously she means it in a negative way, I mean this IS Kate discussing Jon.
But why so bitchy three years after the divorce? If she doesn't like questions about him, she can just say so on the rare and getting rarer occasion that she's interviewed. (It would bug me to still be asked about my ex-husband three years after the fact, but I guess she'll take any kind of attention.)
The nicest thing she ever did for him was file for divorce. She set him free! But I think she has regretted it.
Just an FYI to my post @123. Unfortunately, we nor many people see these friends anymore. We see them once a year in August when mutual friends have a big end of summer BBQ at their home.
Unfortunately, dealing with the continuously unhappy and complaining person was just too much. Many of us making car payments, monthly mortgage payments, college tuitions, credit cards, etc., could not relate to his constant complaining about finances when basically they have very few bills, and now owe MUCH less than the rest of us.
You just get tired and frustrated of being around someone so blessed, but yet is a constant complainer.
Chefsummer: is that the pic of her side view and looking like a hog? I saw abunch of pics at zimbio, my brouser Bing, won't let me go to that site from here. It won't copy & paste either.

I have a feeling she begged to be on The Today Show to get her face out there again in hopes of being selected for DWTS All Stars. I think she will be doing some major pimping and crazy attention seeking stunts from now until they pick a new cast.
So..... she didn't get paid, but she DID show everyone what an idiot is continues to be?
Doesn't seem like such good business sense for her family business does it? LOL
Remember that old saying: 'Better to be thought a fool, than open your mouth and remove all doubt".
My mom always told me that one, along with "you'll catch more flies with honey than vinegar", and "if you can't say anything good, don't say anything at all" - LOL -
My aunt, mom's sister, always perverted that one to "if you can't say anything nice, come sit by me". Yep, we had some rootin-tootin fun family reunions!
I'm pretty sure Today doesn't pay a dime. You get a cup of coffee and the exposure.
It's a common misconception that things like this pay you to be on. It's not the case for the vast majority. "Real" journalists like Today usually don't believe in paying guests.
"I've said this before: kart 'could have' made it big... she had the opportunity and the set-up (HOM).

But her personality, her greed + laziness, her arrogance and ignorance got in her way."
Totally agree with this Permanent, I have also said it before.
Kate could have been set for life with all the opportunities presented to her 'on a golden platter'.
Unfortunately, Kate's 'world skew' is such that she sees herself as innately deserving of a hefty paycheck and tv show merely because she incubated HOMs.
That was the work. That was the job. It seems that in her mind that this alone should have been enough.
What?! I gestated 6 babies at once and now you want me to actually provide for and parent them? Pffftttt.
Awwww poor Katie, her machinations didn't work out the way she planned because nobody on this planet knows how to help her. *eye roll*
Just how many times can she say that the kids miss the crew ( I believe only one guy was an original) and the kids want to travel. It's KATE, not the kids, that want those things. Geez.
And when any tabloid show says Kate is " hot", this prompting is coming from her PR. She looks more like a 40-year-old hooker. Nasty.
She looks more like a 40-year-old hooker. Nasty. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some of her looks are definitively hooker-ish- like in that Big Apple epi! The low tops, no bra good or otherwise, hot pants , tranny shoes, and odd behavior on the street...yup. She hasn't done any better recently.
Just once it would be nice for Kate to say how grateful they all are for having had the travel opportunities, and all the other perks that came along with their show(s). She never says, "we were so fortunate to be given so much, and we realize our good fortune, the kids have so many good memories"
If she displayed even the slightest bit of humility and likability she would still have her show, at the very least, 'update' shows. She is so angry, so consumed with a sense of entitlement she is unable to move forward even by an inch.
Sadly, her children's lives have been put on hold, in a perpetual state of wait. I believe she has told them, "someone will see me on the TODAY show, or Inside Edition and hear me say how much YOU miss being on television" She is teaching them that an everyday, ordinary life has no value or real meaning. As the years grind on for Kate, and grind they will, her kids will need to know they have worth off camera.
Does anyone wonder why she didn't ask the people at TODAY if she could include her kids in her interview this morning? The sextuplets just turned 8, her 'begging' fans could have seen how much they've grown. She either has no savvy, no idea how to stay relevant or interesting, or she is afraid her children may 'out' her as the desperate, mean-spirited liar she is.
Permanent Name, thanks for your understanding. Being Christian it's a hard decision to make to cut some people out of your life. However, sometimes you have no choice.
I hope Kate realizes this very soon before her children are old enough to make the decision that her toxic personality is just too much to handle and they decide to cut her out of their life.
Took a peek at the IE interview and she has definitely had Botex. Those frown lines between her eyebrows are gone. Her face is tight so not much expression. She really acts flat. Not attractive at all. I agree before she had the work done, around the time she was doing the book tours, she looked younger and fresher. Dressed nice too in her Ann Taylor clothes. Now she just looks hard. I guess how you are in the inside shows up on the outside.
Well, it's been fun tonight! It's good to post with like-minded women. Good blogs are not always easy to find. Kudos, Admin.
Everyone who posts here is so nice, with intelligent contributions and insight --- except for those who aren't, of course. I'll call them The Swiffered Ones. The word troll is so last year... sigh. ha ha.
I think I'll take a little snarky page from kart's book and say "GN all - had a busy day, hard workout at the gym, knees are aching, need to get to bed because I have a busy day tomorrow: have zero lunches to pack and no loads of laundry to do, and all my paperwork is done"....
Aren't you all just CAPTIVATED?! Don't you want to turn in tomorrow to see what I post? LOL

That's the thing of it, isn't it Jumping?
When has Kate ever shown the slightest bit of gratitude? Everything that she was given, she bitched about. Nothing was ever good enough. I shudder to think how the people who donated clothing, cribs and even redecorated her home for her felt when she complained and dissed their efforts and generosity.
And, if this blog and others like it is any indication, Kate needs no help at all in exposing her lies, mean-spirit or her desperation.
In my opinion, all the better. That way she can't blame the kids 'for making her look bad' the way she did Aunt Jodi.

True. But ABC got around that with the Casey Anthony trial when they paid @$200,000 for pics/video of 2 year old Caylee Marie Anthony. Jose Baez later claimed this money helped fuel Casey's defense.
Checkbook journalism is very common with the tabloids. Pics, Video, Exclusive Interviews all sold to highest bidder.

Holy Toledo.
Those tetas are massive- and her restrictive dieting & exercising has not affected them in the least [bursting out laughing].
Re: Ann Tayloe LOFT dresses Content Farmer used to wear ...the dresses themselves were fine. But CF's extra assets were not supported well in the babydoll dresses she favored for awhile. There was a picture of CF on the driveway handing out summer school work for the kids, wearing a black babydoll dress. She bent over the table, and I swear if I had been standing any closer, I could have seen if she was an "innie" or an "outie". It was not the dress' fault. The style simply did not suit CF's enhanced self. And she owned at least 3 of those dresses and wore them a lot.
Just watched DWTS and have 2 comments. One, it was so refreshing to see contestants actually thanking judges and viewers for all the support...our orange friend would do well to learn from them! Two, on what planet does anyone think that having said orange friend on the show would be a good thing??? Gawd....

Well, I truly think we are nearing the end of the line with Katie Irene. Her performances today verged on the gruesome. She doesn't appear natural in terms of her facial expressions, barely cracks a smile. Isn't "sunny" the correct disposition for SuperMom of 8 on a morning show? She couldn't have been further from it. And when will she ever learn to speak? It's painful to listen to her.
Her little spiel about getting "her" recipes in order and the "8 testers"? Yeah, it doesn't sound like she's anywhere close to getting something like that into shape. All in all, mentioning the handful of things that she's dabbling in at the moment just makes her sound like she's scrambling for relevance in ANYTHING. She doesn't sound committed in any one direction, and as much as she likes to harp on "passion," there was NONE in evidence today.
I still think she has plenty of money put aside for herself, I think the note of desperation that's surfacing now is that the kids' accounts aren't big enough to cover the school tuition for much longer. Kate will consider it a crisis of gargantuan proportions the minute she has to dip into what she considers hers.
I wonder how much longer she'll flail around in terms of deciding what do to. I can't imagine after today's interviews that anyone from TV is going to come running--and that includes DWTS, which is ending on such a high note, you wouldn't think they'd be eager to reintroduce the Kate Gosselin brand of negativity.
What happened to that picture with the fork? You should update it with one of the photos from the Today interview. I think she's just about there.
If you look at the pictures at zimbio(older ones) there are pictures of Kate at LA airport...they are totally NOT Kate....it's around picture 75...there's over 1000 pics and I could barely get through the first 100...the boob-olution (evolution) over time is soo obvious...that's some bra!
I just watched the clips (well,I only made it half way through each of them) and I cant BELIEVE that Kate is STILL talking about her divorce... for Christ sakes it was HOW many years ago?!? Get over it woman! Her interviews reminded me of this quick story- my brother is a psychology professor and one day we were back in our home town and we bumped into an old friend of his. My brother asked her what was new and she immediately launched into this rant about her divorce- going over every annoying little detail. When she was done my brother asked how long ago this was and she said "9 years ago"...
When we walked away my brother said to me something like "When people talk about events from years past, with that much emotion and anger still attached, like it JUST happened, that's a pretty clear sign of mental illness".
And she really does look a lot older then she should. Her hair looks awful (yellow and fried much?). A poster mentioned previously that Kate looks weird in the second clip, like she took a sedative or something,I completely agree! Her eyes look very droopy and she sounds out of it.
Just watched the IE interview with the sound off - Khate's voice makes me mean :) The transparency on Khate's face is so remarkable. The adjectives I thought of while I watched her face were: mean sad jealous contemptuous sedated joyless desperate
Khate was so blase, so completely without expression - she's either not nervous at all (given the foot pumping on the Today show I would imagine that's not the case) or on some sort of medication or way overbotoxed.
I'm sure everyone is different in front of a camera but it seems like it would sort of "pump" you up somewhat and you'd be a little animated from the adrenaline. I was interviewed once at my job a long, long time ago by a local TV station and I was so nervous I could hardly think straight it was insane...I'm not normally a very animated person but the interview made me seem like Liza Minelli on stage. The 10,000 watt lights shining in my face and my nervousness made me "perform", isn't that what you're supposed to do for TV? Especially if you're trying to promote yourself - like Kate so pathetically did.
on a side note...Why can't I quit this blog!??! AAGHH! I've tried several times but I always come back.
This woman in Pennsylvania is so morbidly inexplicably fascinating to me - I want to be a Professor of Khateology with a minor in Narcissism and do my doctoral dissertation on her...She just seems to be one of the never ending poster children for our society's obsession with celebrity, it's (IMHO) growing population of narcissistic and socipathic individuals and the continued belief that material wealth is the ultimate goal. No, Kate this does not make me a fan - you are a case study to me - an aberration, not a celebrity.
I still think she has plenty of money put aside for herself, I think the note of desperation that's surfacing now is that the kids' accounts aren't big enough to cover the school tuition for much longer ----------
A few days back, Admin said Jon fought Kate (and won) regarding setting up the kids a trust fund with their money....some (or all)of the kid's money may already be in a trust; if that's the case, then Jon's 22,000 monthly support was paying tuition and some bills...now since he only pays 1500 a month, she may be freaking out that SHE is now having to pay the kid's tuition.... just an idea....
TLC stinks said... 145 Just how many times can she say that the kids miss the crew (I believe only one guy was an original) and the kids want to travel. It's KATE, not the kids, that want those things. Geez.
*********************
My mediocre kingdom for the interviewer who will finally call Kate out on this ridiculous claim that the kids miss the crew [and therefore need a new reality show – wonderful leap in logic there, Kate … but I digress]. Silly me, when I miss someone, my first thought is to call that person on the telephone, or invite him or her over to my house for a nice meal. If the kids really miss “the crew” so much, Kate, how about you invite them over for a big swim party in your fabulous pool? You can follow the polar-bear dip by serving undercooked chicken (and many egg-themed side dishes) as they lounge on your leather sofas. But of course, we all know we’re dealing in “Kate-speak” here. Kids-miss-the-crew really translates to mommy-misses-being-treated-like-a-super-stahhhhh. Sadly, as others have noted much more eloquently in previous posts, Kate’s greed, narcissism, ignorance, and ego all got in the way of what should have been the mother of all windfalls, careerwise. In a nutshell, she blew it.
On a side note, I was logging in to check my e-mail this evening, and on the sidebar there was a photo of Kate and the kids with the headline: “Gosselin kids thrive away from the spotlight.” Kate basically admitted today on national TV that the kids are doing great now that they’re no longer on TV (although she’s too dense to realize that she was doing that) – but that’s the angle the media are picking up on. Must chafe Kate’s butt to know that her latest media blitz totally backfired.
Rachel, 268 -- "...is so morbidly inexplicably fascinating to me" I wonder the same thing about myself all the time. Why? I have come up with a few explanations. Not sure if they are correct. It is out of character for me to follow a "celebrity".
LisaNH said... 56 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). &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
In Kate speak it means Jon is more available to take the kids more often so she doesnt have to pay a nanny or babysitter for her 'me' time.
I didnt watch it coz I cant stand her accent and the way she says 'own' instead of 'on', etc. Did she still do that? What about that upspeak she did in Chicago when she ended every single sentence with a question mark like an 80s valley girl?
The pic above appears as if she has had more work done on her face, or steroids or something, her jaw seems much fuller than the pointy emaciated chin that we had all noticed before.
So thanks all, for the little recaps; sounds like more of the usual 'my kids are amazingly perfectish', "i am amazingly hard workingish" and "Jon is finally less annoyingish which I so deserve" and by the way save money.
gosselinbook Thank you @Kateplusmy8 for the 7-page threat from your legal counsel! @radar_online @usweekly http://t.co/nNiQ5eWJ(preview) 31!!!!!!!!!
The link takes you to the GosselinBook blog, where there is finally a (interesting) post. Admin, you should see if they'll compare their C&D letter with yours!
My aunt, mom's sister, always perverted that one to "if you can't say anything nice, come sit by me". Yep, we had some rootin-tootin fun family reunions! ^^^^^^^ Permanent Name: LMAO!!!!!
KAT said... 85 I know its been said all day but the thing about the crew is priceless. How could her kids miss a crew they haven't met yet? Thats her standard line. They're not going to have the same crew if a different network hired them. What in Gods name is she talking about? &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
If they do say that, IF, then they probably mean they miss having adults around who can run interference for them with their nasty mother. Also, adults who appear to take an interest in each child while they film the child. Bad attention is often better than no attention.
Here's my take on the filming crew: The kiddos are asking to go on a vacation trip...like the ones their peers in school take. To Katie Irene this means filming, a network and a film crew. How can one take a trip (X9) without extras to record the memories (and pay for it)?
Just watched what I assume was the edited west-coast airing of Inside Edition. It seemed to me they were rubbing Kate's nose in Jon's new relationship, and she was obviously not amused. No mention of the new Coupon Cabin App. Her determination to get herself and her children back on television was blantently obvious and all she is interested in pitching. She can talk about Coupon Cabin, running marathons or 'peace' with Jon but none of those things matter. There is just one thing that matters and that is getting herself back to her former glory.
They threw her a bone by pointing out her new, more modern hair-do, but it will take more than a new look to save her. She is done.
now since he only pays 1500 a month, she may be freaking out that SHE is now having to pay the kid's tuition.... just an idea....
___________
Maybe she's not paying it. She can take it out of the kids' 15 percent account. It's for education, welfare, anything that benefits the children. It's doubtful that she wouldn't do this if it meant not having to dip into her accounts.
Her determination to get herself and her children back on television was blantently obvious and all she is interested in pitching.
&&&
Does she understand it's best to pitch directly to network execs and not just make a desperate, embarrassing plea just in general for someone, anyone to please put her and her kids back on T.V.?
I mean really, get off your ass, write up a proposal for a show and get your people to get you a meeting with someone. Lazy.
After reading the post about Kate screwing up on the Today Show by not mentioning the app, I looked at CC and saw her blog about it. I swear to god almighty, if I hear her use the term "screech of delight" one more time I am going to have to start meditating for solice. Her kids squeal with delight, she screeches with delight. So much delight. Must be nirvana in Gosselinland.
She is so done. Going on tv and whining for a new reality show is all she's got? If she's got some money in the bank, why not invest in herself if she's so awesome? She can open up her own business, bankroll herself. Why does she think others should take the financial risk while she sits on her gross ass all day? Time to nut up and get a job or fund herself for an entrepreneurial opportunity. The handouts and love offerings have dried up. She has exhausted everyone already.
Admin said: I mean really, get off your ass, write up a proposal for a show and get your people to get you a meeting with someone. Lazy. _________________ I think she did this direct pitching to network executives for the past 10 months. I think some of the executives may have said that they fear Jon would put up roadblocks to have his kids filmed and they are not willing to fight Jon on this. And I think the executives also had fears that 2 of the 8 were so badly disturbed that will were politely asked to leave the school for many, many months. This no doubt presented another fear and roadblock for filming the kids. Afterall, Kate's ratings were not all that bad. Most of the time, she had over 1 million in ratings.
Hence, that is why Kate put the word out today that Jon and Kate were getting along much better, the kids are doing amazing well in school and life, the kids want to film, Jon and Kate had a meeting "behind the scenes" and came to a peaceful agreement, and Jon very recently implied that he was neutral as far as filming his kids. Before, he was dogmatic about no filming of his kids. In less than a few weeks,in a radio and tv interview he is giving out a different vibe that he may be changing his mind. Also, Jon admitted he was behind on child support and he is hurting financially.
Yes, Kate had a mission today and it was to those executives & others that things have changed for the better and please reconsider filming her family again.
I didnt watch kate today.But I see here that many did. I just have to ask....why give this woman an audience? I'm not trying to be a shit-stirrer or anything like that. I can not stand kate. I love to see her called out on her lies and the shitty way she treats the kids. BUT....all of us here who cant stand her watched. We want to slam this woman for everything BUT yet you WATCH anything and everything she says. Just like if she gets on CA or DWTS-all stars...many have said they will watch. WHY? Why give her the attention she's looking for? We love to beat down her sheeple for being blind of all things kate.BUT yet...we have "haters" checking her twitter and her own web-site many times a day. WHY? Why waste the time looking for all this when you hate this woman? No..I'm not trying to make anyone feel bad for coming here...like I said...this is the best anti-kate site ever. Very smart people posting here. I just dont get why some here spend alot of time following everything kate does. So she went on the today show yapping about nothing new....We knew that. I think its great that Preesi is ending her blog.I really believe the haters keep kate alive more than her fans...both of them.Kate got the last laugh...she said if you love me or hate me....you still talk about me and watch me...she is SO right.It dosent matter if you hate or love her...you are still giving time to her and putting her in the news.
Your observations are spot on and your theory is darned good. You may very well be exactly right. I wonder how/if this ties in with the 'here comes the book' tweeter, too.
I always thought that Kate was naturally pretty, and, while I thought her reverse mullet haircut was ridiculous, it made her unique. Instead of building on her unique style, she has transformed herself into that generic Barbie doll, Playboy centerfold look---She looks usedup, trashy, plastic and common. If she belongs anywhere, it is on middle of the night infomercials, hawking miracle eye creams, miracle cleaning products or miracle crappy exercise equipment.
I think that she did herself no favors today--everyone except Milo and CJ know that her kids success and 'awesomeness' is because they now have a home, instead of a television set and because their succubus mother is finally being civil with their beloved daddy.
I don't believe that's true. Not "all of us." I didn't watch, and I won't.
This is not snark, just a question. You obviously read the posts here about her appearance today. You know what she did and didn't do. If you can't stand her, and question why others follow her when they dislike her, why did you read the posts? You know that posters read her twitter, you know that Preesi is closing her blog. Obviously you keep up with these things, too. You include yourself as "all of US here"...
That video clip on IE. She is on some type of sedative. Her eyes keep doing funny things. They almost look like they are rolling back in their sockets a few times. Especially at the point she is asked about Jon's girlfriend. Check it out. ____
She just looks so . . . sad. Really sad and upset, like she was crying.
For the record.. I didn't watch. I actually was going to, but I missed it. I saw it later on the internet. What's the difference....at this point....shes toast. I never watched her show because I didn't want give her any ratings. I really don't think it matters anymore. Watch away!!!! She's been flushed..
I always thought Kate was fairly pretty. I didn't like her behavior, but she was pretty. Youthful, good clear skin, cute figure, harstyle suited her face and her personality. And she ruined it all.
Now she's just plain ugly, overused, leathery, snake like.
I really think her inner ugliness has fully blossomed now, whereas before it wasn't fully formed. Watching the video above it was painful to see how much she's changed. It's like she is a whole other person. This is what the nuns were talking about when they said that it would show on the outside when the devil has taken over your soul.
1017 sediments (sic) from readers:
«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 1017 Newer› Newest»Wow Disney really swiffered her. Ouch, so much for Mady's aspirations.
The end is here....trust me....Its staring us in the face...
Senior (#197), I believe you are 100% right about her inability to explain the new CC app. She DOESN'T UNDERSTAND how it works. What I don't understand is why she wasn't DRILLED on this stuff before she got on TV today. I cannot believe they didn't give her a script and force her to practice. If they ever allow her to "promote" them again, I hope they've learned something from this. She barely got anything out about CC, a huge waste of an opportunity for them.
About Jon letting his kids film again: It occurred to me that he may believe this is the lesser of two evils. We have no idea what Kate has done or said to those children behind the scene once filming stopped. (The first time by Jon and then the final time by TLC.) He may have come to the conclusion that it might be easier to help the kids cope with the filming than it is to help them cope with a raging/lunatic Kate. I mean she was totally comfortable with what was actually filmed, imagine what she must be like now when there is NO ONE watching. Just a thought. I hope I am totally off base.
She has had a busy day. Someone else got the kids from school. Maybe she feels the shades of old times when she was groomed and interviewed. Just too bad there is nothing to promote. Nothing to generate excitement.
She better be thinking of "coming out" with Steve or some other juicy tid bit. Otherwise...just a blip in reality TV history.
NBC staffer said... 189
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.
______________________________________
So hope you are right! In the version I saw, she did mention it in a happenstance way at the end of the interview, but I agree there was no energy in that interview.
Has anyone else wondered why Ann didn't question her about the cruise being cancelled? Very interesting.
I'm sure Ann was told not to bring it up. I mean..she looked bad enough. That would really make her look like a total asshole. Nothing negative...remember?
I wonder if Kate was embarrassed to only be able to talk about CC. This clearly is note an "A" list gig at all. Oh how the mighty (nasty) have fallen.
Judy, Moose, Pink - ha! It's like a little hydraulic mechanism. It stops pumping when she's being asked a question and then it starts again when she answers.
About the kids wanting to have another show... I'll bet any money she's told them there will never be another vacation anywhere outside the konpound unless they get a show. Des führer has made it very clear SHE's not financing any holiday for them so of course they'd say that. Her modus operandi has always been to get what she wants through her kids. Nothing new there.
~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~
KAT said... 2 The end is here....trust me....Its staring us in the face...

I agree completely.
Say your prayers, Kate.
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.)
)))))))))))))))))
Whoa! The Ritz-Carlton Las Vegas at the end of the RV trip wasn't posh? Jeez.
And don't get me started on Hawaii. That one would have cost the family 5 digits.
Dmasy 5
he has had a busy day. Someone else got the kids from school
------
All the talk about Jon having more custody of the kids contradicts all of Kate's twittering...to hear her tell it, it sounds like she has them every weekend.
I think it was mentioned a while back that Jon was now getting the kids some weekends and Mondays?
If that's the case, his weekend could have been this past one, going into tomorrow morning. That would also make sense, since she didn't tweet much since Saturday.
I wonder if Jon would let the kids film again, I sure hope not. Saying it is one thing, doing it is another. I think the only way he'd let that happen again, is if the kids were in danger of losing their private school education, or losing their home. He may not agree with all of Kate's decisions, but they signed the TLC contract together, and bought that house together, too. I don't think he'd want the kids to lose those two things, dang, they've been through enough already.
I disagree. Public school is just fine if you can't afford an expensive private school and she can downsize the house. Jon needs to stay true and .of give in to her.
What's sad is AGAIN she missed a golden opportunity to promote two things that could have generated her future income (of sorts): Coupon Cabin and R&R races. BUT she had to spend the whole time talking about how much the kids want a TV show, throwing Jon under the bus.
She is supposed to be a SPOKESPERSON, she had a TON to talk about today, but as usual was horrible. She could have even mentioned the cruise, as in economy so bad no one was able to go, so I have EXTRA tips on CC regarding travel bargains for family trips. That whole lemons into lemonade thing. The appearance on the Today Show could have been a triumph for her. But of course, it's Kate and she does NOTHING to help herself succeed.
heather
Auntie Ann - frickin hilarious!
Well Kate's on inside edition talking about Jon's girlfriend.
Jealous much?
I would not worry about Jon saying yes or no to filming...there actully has to be an offer by a network and thats not going to happen..its worrying about something that will not happen...She's POISON at this point and no one will take her on...she's too much trouble. She's not worth all the flack they would have to endure. Simply put...shes A PAIN IN THE ASS!!!!
silimom said... 97
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.
_______________________________
This would be my guess: The things Jon says, now that their children can see these interviews on TV, are to decrease the chance of "parent alienator" behavior.
If my spouse was telling my children something along the lines of "that it's your daddy's fault that we couldn't keep going on all the nice trips, have all the nice luxuries, have mommy be happy so she didn't yell so much, etc....because he made trouble about us being on TV so now we are struggling and mommy is unhappy"....then I think I'd also finesse it (on venues where my children could see it) as a situation where I was "working with" my spouse and trying to be accommodating about these things (whether I had no intention of allowing it or not.
Heather, ITA. Kate was being watched this morning and she failed to accomplish her primary goal, which was to talk about CC. That shouldn't surprise anyone, though. Haven't her CC blogs lately been
about her and not about couponing?
Kate wants her old show back and she hasn't quite grasped that that format is over and done with for her. She needs to stop focusing on the past and start promoting herself as a spokesperson, if that's what she wants to do.
Denial is such an ugly thing, almost as ugly as desperation. I don't think she's desperate yet, but I think it's right around the corner.
Kate's new look ummm since when????.
It's interesting...when you read the transcript of her interview... the number of "um"'s increases significantly when she talks about Jon. Almost every other word is punctuated by an "um".
A language expert would have a field day with that - nervous much, Kate, passive-aggressively throwing your ex under the bus??!!
I just checked the Inside Edition website. When you scroll to the bottom, there is a section reading "Inside Deals Coupons". That takes you to a page where you can select 57 different coupons for vaious products including food items.
She may not be pushing Coupon Cabin on Inside Edition if it is considered competition.
It will be interesting to hear what she has to say today because obviously whatever she had to say the last time (which wasn't 'shown') wasn't considered relevant - much like the woman herself.
bm
Meant to say NOT give in to her. Darn phone.
Kate will never make it, longterm, as a spokesperson because the only thing she has an avid interest in is herself. And the sad thing is she can't even do a good job at promoting Kate much less someone else's product.
God Kate looks old.
I noticed that, too. When she got to the Jon portion of the "interview," her ums increased dramatically, and they were already bad!
I got the distinct sense she's been TOLD to be as nice as she can possibly be about Jon, and that was it: that was AS NICE as she could possibly be about him. And you could tell it was like she was having to swallow rusty nails.
Her eyes, they freak me out. Anyone else? They're so...dead. Kind of evil looking, like there's so much anger and hatred in there.
I can't blame her for being unhappy, though. She has to wake up EVERY SINGLE DAY and be HER. Can you imagine? She can't escape her miserable self.
Well, well. SOMEONE was standing off the side while Kate was on Today snapping photos which have been picked up by the online tabs. Who could it have been? HA, HA Steve.
Also, I can't help but wonder if maybe she's actually older than she's professing to be?
37 shouldn't look that hard and rough, it really shouldn't. You're still in your prime in your late 30s.
She does indeed seem to be screwing with her face.
Ah, the celebrity spokesperson for Coupon Cabin went on the Today Show to promote their new app and umm, kinda almost sorta barely mentioned it. Oh dear god, this is what they hired?
I am also pretty sure that Ann Curry did not ask about the Kate cruise because she is completely unaware that there was one. KG is not anyone AC had to do any research on for an interview. She probably lost the short straw, or really, K8 was never going to be interviewed by anyone else. AC was probably told to ask her a few questions about the kids, her new life, etc and then let her do her promotion. And we saw (well those of you who can stand to watch, and I do thank you for that, saw) that once again, K8 hung herself out to twist in the wind.
Career in tv with that personality? I hardly think so, what with the ums, the swinging foot and her own inability to do the simplest polite things, like mention her interviewer by name, or thank her BY NAME at the end. Has K8 ever watched a tv interview, ever? Honestly, I could do better and cameras scare me.
And as much as I hate myself for doing this, she really looks awful, truly like someone her age TRYING hard to be 20 years younger. The flat hair is aging, the color is unnatural and her face, sadly, looks odd, can't quite put a finger on what she has done to it. And this is all too bad, because she was attractive in a perky sort of way just a few years ago. Lot of glam could have happened without the permanent damage she has done to hair, skin and face. Sad, really.
I am not a fan of Ann Curry, but I am truly sorry her Monday morning work included the interview with this twit.
Another thing who ever does her makeup they made her cheeks looks horrible.
Reality Bites said... 184
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
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You've nailed it. CC is now learning what all the past companies who hired Kate to be their spokesperson- she sucks.
I would bet the farm that CC paid for her to ride to NYC in a limo last night, paid for fish in paper, put her and Skeeve up at the Essex (eww, I need my brain bleach) all so she could appear on national TV and talk about the new Coupon Cabin phone app. What they got in return was Kate giving the app a brief mention. All while spending most of the time talking about herself and making a desperate plea for a new reality show. CC now knows what Kmart, Proctor&Gamble, The Sandwich Council, Healthtex etc. all learned the hard way.
The kids are ready to travel again? THEN TAKE THEM SOMEWHERE YOURSELF YOU STUPID BITCH! She is a sorry excuse for a self-titled supermom if she can't take her kids on vacation, to the movies, Trick or Treating and pretty much everywhere else without it being filmed and TLC footing the bill.
As far as getting a new PR person, good luck with that. Kate is uncoachable. I think what Kate is looking for is a PR person who "knows how to help her." In other words, let her do whatever she wants. Kate wants a PR person who tells her it's ok to tweet that you are struggling fincially even when a 3rd (sports) car was recently purchased. Or a PR person who praises her for accepting gifts and gift cards from her tweeple, not scold her and tell her that she should suggest the people donate to charity instead. Or a PR person who tells her it's ok to pull the "u don't know wat I know" crap as a way to imply she has knowlege of wrongdoing by others. I'm sure JCM and Kate have gone round & round about her abrasivness, greedyness and diva behavior, all to no avail. Kate probably thinks she's unemployed because Julie isn't working hard enough to get her a gig. It doesn't occur to her in the least that she's Hollywood poison because she's a z-list reality star, and a hateful mean one at that. She could go through 20 PR persons and she will never, ever get it.
Ok, just saw the Inside Edition: it was less than a min interview, and at the end of the show. According to IE, that is Kates new hair do. It is hidious! Is that the best Ted gibson can do? That is awlful. Gibson must have seen her coming. Hey, Kate we have a swamp for you to buy, you will make millions off of it.
Ok, people is Kate jealous of Jon having a GF . Her answer to the Jon gf question sounded so jealous.
That was a very short interview.
anger issues, 31 -- what was the question and how did she respond? Thanks.
The top pic on this site from today says it all:
http://omg.yahoo.com/blogs/goddess/kate-gosselin-shocking-admission-jon-made-peace-190438035.html
That dress is awful and what's happening to her body? She looks bloated. And those implants are too big. The dress makes her upper arms look sausage-like.
AND DAMN, I noticed her hair was bad in the video, but look at that picture. I'm becoming convinced Jason is doing this on purpose. It looks awful. Fried, dry, different lengths, WAY too brassy, way too bleached out, just awful. I cannot BELIEVE anyone would pay to have that done to their hair!
Or possibly she's insisting on this kind of look and he's just rolling his eyes and going along with it, knowing it'll look bad, but beyond caring. I have a good friend who is an excellent hair stylist and colorist and she's done the same with very insistent customers who just KNOW they're right. She says hey, if they insist on looking like shit, against her advice, then let them.
All in all, the outside reflects what's going on on the inside, and the inside is baaaaaaaad.
By the way, I love that 99.9999% of all the comments on every site that is running this non-story are negative. SUPER negative. With maybe one or two weakly worded "hey leave her alone" type comments. No big support at all. Mostly people are laughing that she said she has fans.
Anyone still think she's going to be on DWTS All-Stars or CA?
No?
Me, either.
Oh Kate you were once a real beauty what have you done to your self?
I noticed the increase in the number of um's also, when she started talking about Jon.
IMO it's because she's lying about something. Who knows what the lie is, but it's there.
You can also tell she's lying there because her voice gets even more monotone than it normally does (if that's possible). And her leg starts twitching more, cuz she's trying to hide something. Who knows what.
I think the lying also explains her lack of eye contact with AC.
Her whole spiel is a lie, and she doesn't want to get caught lying, so she starts twitching, won't look the interviewer in the eye, and starts spewing the um's.
Mainly negative comments about Kate's 'appearance' on the show..I skimmed the few articles covering it quickly. Appearance in both senses of the word! I agree her implants are too big (I suspect she got a second 'good bra') and that hair is hideous. A lot of people said she seems unhappy with her present life, and I guess that's true.

That dress is awful and what's happening to her body? She looks bloated. And those implants are too big. The dress makes her upper arms look sausage-like.
AND DAMN, I noticed her hair was bad in the video, but look at that picture. I'm becoming convinced Jason is doing this on purpose. It looks awful. Fried, dry, different lengths, WAY too brassy, way too bleached out, just awful. I cannot BELIEVE anyone would pay to have that done to their hair!
*************
God, are you one of those obnoxious stereotypes of a suburban mother who stands around critiquing the looks and dress of all the other mothers while you profess your vast superiority? Or do you just play one of those on the Internet?
This interview just shows how bad she is in front of a camera when she is not running the show. Really, its hilarious how she once claimed she wanted to do a talk show because she had the "gift of gab". I can truthfully say I have never seen anyone with less of a gift of gab than her,
And, the reason she looked so uncomfortable is because she hasn't yet pulled that stick out as Jon suggested and it has now become the size of a full grown oak tree limb.
Dear Kate, your network portfolio is complete, we've seen enough, you should have mentioned the chickens.
(Cut to DWTS tape where Kate is wiping her eyes saying "Look, I just need somebody to teach me the way I learn.. I don't get it, I just don't get it".)
I am also pretty sure that Ann Curry did not ask about the Kate cruise because she is completely unaware that there was one. KG is not anyone AC had to do any research on for an interview.
=========
Or maybe she was told, under penalty of severeness from Purse Boy, not to mention it.

Are you one of those internet trolls who repeatedly ignores posting rule #3 just because you think you can get away with it?
There really was no reason for Kate to be on the show. She didn't say anything ( which is good) about the kids other than they are 'doing awesome.' Nothing about their interests or activities. It was about Kate's marathon, CC, recipes, relationship with Jon. She said the 'fans' are begging to see what the kids are doing now, not her. She still needs them to be relevant. It was J&K PLUS 8 which had real fans, not Kate herself.Not counting the sheeple.
#39, awwwww, does it hurt to hear how bad Kate looks these days?
Well, here's the good news for you: she won't be on TV very often (or at all) after this for anyone TO criticize her complete lack of dress sense and horrible face, skin and hair.
So: yay!

Hi! I'm Katy and new here.
----------
Hi Katy! Welcome.
Just watched the TS clip. It was making me cringe. Seriously.
She practically slammed-in that part about wanting to film with the kids again...as if she couldn't get it in there fast enough before someone stopped her. Ann C. seemed kinda stunned....like it hadn't been part of the planned interview.
Whenever she's interviewed, it feels like she's been given advice and makes some attempt to try to remember it but just can't help herself...and any opportunity to talk about herself is just too attractive to her and she just can't stop herself.
And then...she'll remember the advice she was given and try to follow what she remembers..."be nice", etc...but it's just SOOOO hard for her. She sounds so forced then.
But that part about she and the kids filming again...boy she just lobbed that in there like a hardball....like she was gonna get that in FAST just in case Ann C. started babbling with all sorts of boring questions Kate wasn't really interested in much. :D
And IS cooking from scratch less expensive? I cook from scratch and it's pretty darn expensive. Buying good, fresh ingredients IS expensive. It tastes a whole lot better and it's a whole lot better FOR you....but is it really less expensive?
@Remona~
I completely agree with you regarding Jon. If Jon says no to anything it causes, I'm sure, a sh*tstorm of nasty accusations from Kate in front of the kids. I'd be doing the same thing he's doing if I was him (regarding the whole "working with Kate" issue).
Dmasy: IE asked her about Jon having a GF(cause of his recent interview): Kate replied: something like: I don't care that Jon has a GF, then she said something and then said: this GF that GF, who knows how many he has or something like that. It sounded very jealous, and Kate did not like the question either.
Just looked at her biggie IE interview online.
What an effing fizzle!
And the one on Today show - I got the feeling she was pissed. Someone told her that morning she would get 2-3 minutes between a drunk mom and Tan Mom. Three bad moms in a row - even narcissistic monster kart got the implication there.
I bet she thought she'd get to rub shoulders with The Donald and worm an invitation to CA. She looked pretty annoyed that she wasn't being treated with the proper respect and awe.
And poor Anne Curry, she's a real dipshit, but I agree with the poster above that she drew the short straw for who would get stuck with kart.
The whole interview was so, so, so awkward to watch. And the fact that they edited it before airing on west coast is very telling, isn't it? The show producer probably said "shit, do something with this crap before the folks on the west coast see how badly we goofed putting her on - try to salvage 'something' for gawd's sake". You KNOW there was some hair pulling in the editing booth this morning!
And I'd bet buckets of money that kart left NYC after getting her Nobu fish in paper just whining, yelling and bitching at purseboy.
One of these days he will tell her to eff off... even he will start to see what a loser-wreck she is.
How much of that pathetic hair is hers, do you think? Say, 50-50 real vs extensions?
Once CC fires her, what will she have left? Nothing...................
Sorry for the ramble. Worked too hard at the gym today and I need some tylenol. This mess is making my body ache more than I can stand.
Somehow I don't think Purseboy tells Ann Curry what to do :-).
Not only is K8 a nightmare for Coupon Cabin, but she is hardly a testimonial for Jason the Hairdresser's work. Dyed and fried.
And seriously, the chidren are ready to travel again? Hmmm, then plan a trip and PAY for it biotch.
Kate is dressing the way she does and wears her hair that way because people comment how she is "so hot". That is how the Inside Edition person referred to her. He commented on her long, straight hair. And when she made the rounds on other tabloid tv shows last year, many commented to her "hotness". I bet she will grow her hair even longer...because she is "so hot". VOMIT!
It worries me that she mentioned the kids and doing projects together. That is when Ann mentioned another tv show. I hope Kate isn't planning on a food tv network show like "Pioneer Woman" where her kids would be a part of it. I really want her to disappear totally from tv.

Senior (#197), I believe you are 100% right about her inability to explain the new CC app. She DOESN'T UNDERSTAND how it works. What I don't understand is why she wasn't DRILLED on this stuff before she got on TV today. I cannot believe they didn't give her a script and force her to practice. If they ever allow her to "promote" them again, I hope they've learned something from this. She barely got anything out about CC, a huge waste of an opportunity for them.
==========
Maybe they figured ANYONE would be bright enough to know, if you're sent on TV to promote something, you promote it. Rave about, brag on it, give the website address and "how to do it" spiel twice. Not ol' Katie. Still hoping someone will pay her to showcase her kids. That's what she was plugging! She's such a doofus.
By the way, you all are hilarious today! Never gonna be able to look at Kate pumping that leg the same way again, AuntieAnn.

Cut to DWTS tape where Kate is wiping her eyes saying "Look, I just need somebody to teach me the way I learn.. I don't get it, I just don't get it".
-=====
The way she "learns" is to get someone else to do it FOR her so she doesn't have to the work. That is exactly why she failed miserably on DWTS. No one could dance FOR her. Lots of people go on that show without an inkling of how to dance but they learn by following instructions and doing the work to succeed. Kate is too friggin' lazy to go that extra mile for anything. Her blog and her website are more examples of her not putting any effort into the job. She's useless.
Kate needs to give up the idea of making the kids support her.
The kids are doing well in school BECAUSE they are no longer working.
I hope circumstances allow the G kids to remain in their private school. They need that one constant in their lives.
I am in 'agreeance' (Kate's word) about her appearance. I am one of the few that never thought she was attractive; I thought she was just nondescript. It's ironic that all her money spent on clothes, shoes, botox, fillers, hair coloring, and teeth whitening has only made her look older. Guess part of that old and hard look could be due to dieting (losing fat pockets in her face, for ex.).
I noticed too all the um's she spewed while talking about Jon, thought that was a tell-tale sign of lying and just making crap up,lol.
No, Kate, you do not owe your 6 fans a look-see into your kid's lives...and your kids do not owe you a living. GET A JOB.
I think cooking from scratch can be cheaper than eating out all the time, depending on what you're cooking. For example, my husband and kids and I love fondue. Going out to La Fondue would run us close to $200 for our family. I can make the same meal at home, including salad, cheese fondue, Court Bouillon, and dessert for about $70-$80.
A meal at Denny's - $50. Same meal
at home - $10-20.
Here's the IE video:
http://www.insideedition.com/videos/1436/inside-edition-speaks-with-kate-gosselin.aspx
Her face looks even rougher in this one. I guess the lighting/camera wasn't as soft-focused as the Today Show one.
She has NOTHING to talk about. How long ago was the divorce?
Her fans are begging?????? the only begging came from HER this morning....."please drop a show in my lap"....
Embodiment of Perfection,
Honey, there is no doubt at all that the posters here, with possible exception of you, are vastly, incredibly and indisputably better people than kart.
We don't have to discuss it. We know. She has shown us, over and over again. We've seen her on her TV show, in interviews and on her so-called blog.
She's nothing. She's got nothing, she is nothing and she defines the words 'poor mother', 'arrogant female' and 'delusional bitch'.
In fact, Embodiment, I follow her occasionally because it confirms to me how much better a person I am than her.
I've got her beat in the mother department, in the personality department, in the compassion department, in the wife department, in the work ethic department..... the list is endless.
AND every other poster on here who dislikes what kart is and has done to her kids, family, ex-friends, ex-husband, random strangers, TV staff and any other sentient beings IS BETTER THAN HER TOO.
I will forever stand in amazement at just how unaware she is at how she acts and comes across to others.
Anyone with one brain cell would have figured out how to salvage the dream life she wants. Not her. Her personality disorder prevents her from getting it.
I feel so abjectly sorry for her kids and Jon for what she put him through.

______________________________
From Kate's new PR woman, no doubt. Perhaps you should "research" the person you are representing before you decide to go down that slippery slope.
As to maybe why Kate is wearing her hair that way: one of her tweeties is 24 and she said something about peers and kate replied that she would like to be her peer. Kate thinks she is 24 again.
Ha. In that video I posted the link to (here it is again: http://www.insideedition.com/videos/1436/inside-edition-speaks-with-kate-gosselin.aspx )
watch her EYES at about the 57 second mark. The interviewer is setting up a question about Jon. Watch her eyes the SECOND the interviewer gets to "meeting his girlfriend..." It actually make me laugh out loud. They totally go all nasty, dark and lidded at that very second.
Please. Bitch can say "what girlfriend?" and act like she doesn't care, but her eyes are a dead give-away.
Of COURSE it bothers her.
Virginia Pen Mom- I wish I could draw a diagram of that leg pump action with the string mechanism and metal levers... like a ventriloquist dummy. lol.
~~~~ ~~~~
Kate says she and Jon have come to an agreement "behind the scenes". WTF? She's nuts. The cameras are OFF Kate. Gone. They're not there anymore!!
My god she's thick.
I wonder if Kate's appearance is a manifestation of her personality. She's just not capable of being "normal". In her interviews, she's either over the top grinning and falsely enthusiastic or she's completely flat and angry looking. She just can't seem to settle on pleasant and engaging.
JudyK,
I wonder if you're right about Embodiment being kart's new PR person!!!
The writing is too good to be kart, but you might have solved a mystery about who/why someone is on here praising kart and using different names.
Good sleuthing, JudyK!!! :-)
Sitting through that interview was about as much fun as watching paint dry.
In that IE video, notice her answer to "And Jon's paying child support?"
She repeats they figured things out behind the scenes and "it's a good change."
Notice she's insinuating he DIDN'T pay it before, but he is now.
She's such a bitch.
I believe her comment about swimming even if it's 40 degrees comes directly from our discussions here. And, I believe she *tried* to say nice things about Jon, again, because of our discussions here about her always "throwing him under the bus." Her attempt was lame, but she was clearly (to me anyway) reacting to our conversations.
Kate is a witch: if that didn't define being jealous of Jon having a GF, I don't know what does. Kate could have avoided, the whole question by saying: I'm happy for Jon, and hope that I can find someone. But Kate had to blast it out of proportion, making her sound very jealous of Jon.
Well Jon's latest gf (it's been 2 in 2 years Kate, just two.) showed more class than Kate. When asked how it went meeti Kate she politely said she was fine.

Ah yes. The old "dark eye" look.
She's just SO pissed that Jon's moved on and here she's stuck with purseboy.

JudyK - I think you're right too. Or could it be Steve pretending to be the new PR gal because the new PR gal quit already?
KAT, I think you meant to say that she looks like the cat who ate the canary! If she was the bird who ate the canary, the bird would be a cannibal!
Off topic, but another malaprop, my friend today said that someone was a flash in the skillet. HA!
Nope, not Kate's PR person. Just a simple gal who isn't fond of catty bitches.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
But comes on here as a bitch to call others obnoxious. In that case, I guess the simple gal isn't very fond of herself, either. Yeah, well, okay. Makes perfect sense to me!
I'm guessing today's resident troll has nothing better to do because she no longer has to spend time shopping for cruise wear.
Admin, can we please go back on moderation?
I'm Sure, you may not discuss the posters here. Discuss the topics and opinions not the people making them. This is not a blog for you to set up shop to take down all the catty bitches of the world, go somewhere else.
Ahem, speaking of "cats"...has anyone seen the sign that says:
BEWARE OF DOG.
And the Cat is
shady as F#!@ Also.
I LOVE that sign and want it in my yard.
From her twatting today, my least favorite of her stupid expressions:
"Yay. Block the bullies and join our fun here."
What is this, Romper Room? Middle school girls' lunch clique?
Grow up Kate. And no, your hair does not make you look hot; fried is the right word.
And "simple gal" - find another sandbox,

What is your point of posting here?
I am all for a positive dialogue.
Kate may have inadvertently forgotten to mention the cc app (which was the whole purpose of the interview) simple because she loathes having to be a coupon blogger...it was very clear that her fingernails were scratching down the side of the sinking ship she's on which was why she was blurting out as fast as she could about the kids wanting to be on a show and missing the crew before she went overboard and her ugly straw head goes under. It was her last ditch effort to get it out there (what she really wants) and she really didn't care if she screwed CC...I guarantee if she got another offer (no chance in hell), she would dump CC as fast as she could. She is only loyal to herself.
I haven't read all of the comments yet, but her tips to "Be organized" and "Plan ahead". Sounds good, but she never follows these "tips". Over and over we've seen her running out last minute to get things for a party or holiday. She even admits on twitter that some major celebration "snuck up" on her! How do your kids birthdays or holiday celebrations sneek up on you?
We've all been behind at for various things, but she makes a living trying to prove how organized and prepared she is, and her actions just don't match her words.
And the crap abou Jon finally starting to work with her, OH PLEASE. The nasty woman who refused to let him pick the kids up at the house and made him wait at the end of the driveway, but she implies that she was always willing to work with him?!
I wish this woman would smell what she's shovelling.
Did anyone else think she looked like she had been crying on the IE tape?
That video clip on IE. She is on some type of sedative. Her eyes keep doing funny things. They almost look like they are rolling back in their sockets a few times. Especially at the point she is asked about Jon's girlfriend. Check it out.
What is your point of posting here?
I am all for a positive dialogue.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
That's what I don't understand. If she/he/it doesn't like catty bitches, then why torment oneself by being here? Why post on a blog that you don't like? No reason for it, other than to just set oneself up as a shit-stirrer. There are other playgrounds out there. Find one.
This is the same poster who has been here in the past. You can't teach old dogs new tricks, or in this case, old sheeple new writing styles, no matter how many IDs they use. Same old, same old and it's so obvious.
And yet it's been three years since they split and the only thing she talks about is his love life?
I mean she say's that she doesn't care so why keep talking about it?
The IE video shows how her face has changed, and not for the better.
I am far older than Kate, and I do NOT have those lines on my face.
She looks TERRIBLE.
And the tanning only pronounces the lines.
If she is wanting to pitch a healthy, organic cooking and/or fitness show, her face truly shows how unhealthy she is.
She needs to start eating some real food. She looks terrible.
I know its been said all day but the thing about the crew is priceless. How could her kids miss a crew they haven't met yet? Thats her standard line. They're not going to have the same crew if a different network hired them. What in Gods name is she talking about? She sounds like a broken record. Her kids missing some imaginary crew isn't going to land her a show. Stop blaming the kids and say what is really being missed.... THE BIG PAY CHECK. She has lost her marbles....I really cant wrap my head around her thinking that people actually take her seriously...
Adm, please delete my post #84...I don't know how to do that...it's childish. Thanks.
Kate is so lacking in true social skills it is pathetic. That Me, Me, Me, mentality was right there for all to view on the Today Show interview. If all this begging works out, and they are given another television show, ever, I'm cancelling my cable tv. We need more talent driven programs to watch, not more no-talent reality shows. A little humility would go a long way, Kate. You and Jon were given the promise of a "gold mine" and you blew it. Get a clue and get a "mediocre" job to support your kids. Take them shopping and on trips with your own dime. If you work for it, maybe the appreciation chip will kick in for all of you. If I owned CC site, I'd fire Kate in a "NY minute." She did nothing to promote their company.
Witch:
Thanks for the IE link, and yes, I saw the look in her eyes...how bitchy... "this girlfriend, that girlfriend" or whatever she was conveying about Jon's relationships. (Her eyes in general these days look weird, cat-like- Botox, at her age?)
She is very inarticulate and has poor grammar. Not so good to do these interviews if 'speaking' is her forte.

***************
You got that right, chefsummer! They are saying how great she looked and how articulate she is. Wow, if that's what they call articulate, they must all be a bunch of backwoods hillbillies with fourth-grade educations.
I think it threw the interview off when she immediately started begging for a new show--no easing into it, just--bam! I want a new reality show! In the first 30 seconds. After that, the whole thing just went downhill. Poor Ann. Where do you go from there?
I looked at the listing for Inside Edition tonight--they are interviewing a couple who had two babies die from co-sleeping. No mention of Kate, but that's who she's sharing air time with. I bet nobody knows what their names are, but THEY are the ones who made the listing, not her.
Judy K, 91 -- you can delete any comment of your own that you don't feel right about. There is a tiny trash can right by the date and time. Click on it. Viola! Good Luck.
Okay, sorry for all my posting errors in #82, I was typing fast while preparing dinner!
sneak, not sneek
about, not abou
behind for, not behind at for
Hope I caught them all!
Also, the kids swimming in the pool regardless of the temperature. I'm sorry, but that is just very poor parenting. Various kids were sick and out of school during the 2 week period prior to the pool party. Why put your child's health in jeopardy again and risk more time out of school.
Also, to the recent troll, if you don't like our comments, why come here? If Kate doesn't like our comments, then she needs to stop making all of these things public via twitter, her blog, and interviews.
Spring has Sprung are you saying posters here are catty b#$@!&@ if so I have to agree
Post #286
Does Kate ever watch the clips of herself? I remember Carrie Ann saying that she's never seen anyone with so little self-awareness. How can Kate not recognize the fact that her communication skills are next to nothing? How can she watch herself and not know that she can't speak? My gosh, the woman can't even start a sentence without "um." It's the firest word out of her mouth. Listen to the Inside interview. It's pathetic. Isn't she embarrassed by this...the speech, language skills, no eye contact? Wouldn't you think that by now she would realize that she has no gift of public speaking, let alone any gift of gab?
Can anyone be so little aware of how she sounds?

Kate's eyes always do that "cat" thing when you say something that pisses her off! She had the same eye expressions today that she did on DWTS when the judges criticized her and every time the score of 4 or 5 came up. Go back and watch the dancing clips and u will see what I mean.
Khate ain't 'jelus' because Jon has a girlfriend, she's angry because that girlfriend got a longer interview bit on a tv tabloid show than she did. Sad to say, of the three of them Khate was the only one with a slight purpose for being on tv. Hope the pay was good.

I thought from scratch meant making something from it's full ingredient list instead of, say, heating up a frozen meal?
I didn't even bother to comment on her desire for another reality show for her and the kids. It's pointless because that's just wishful thinking on her part and it isn't going to happen.

There appear to be TWO Kate fans here..
If you want to post here, start with answering these questions:
1. Would you film your naked child for everyone to see, including pedophiles?
2. Why do you admire Kate Gosselin?
3. How does marathon running pay the mortgage?
4. What do you think about Kate professing to be a Christian, yet says her implants are only a 'good bra"?
We eagerly await your insights!
aggiemom, 101 -- those are some logical questions. My responses are some of the reasons why I changed from a viewer to a critic.
From the Inside Edition interview: "[Jon] definitely lives a different life than me and the kids do."
For someone who thinks she could make a living with her "gift of gab," Kate should master the basics. It should be "than the kids and I do." It seems sort of symbolic that she would place herself first there.
Her face is SO botoxed. One reason she looks so creepy and weird is that her forehead doesn't move and the rest of her face barely does. She has a strange, witchy expression, and her eyes have a darkness. She just needs a broomstick and a black hat to complete the look.
Different opinions are allowed. Attacking posters here is not. Detailing a thread is also not. Being rude to people here is not. Behaviors like this are not excused as just expressing another opinion. See the last thread for how intelligent and polite people discuss a controversial topic like education and disagree a lot without it turning into the crap on this thread. Knock it off.
Jon does live a different life. He's happy. She clearly is not and it's sad.
Her fans either turned tail and ran, or we are back on moderation.
It's amazing, you ask them a few questions and then they disappear.
I'd really like to know their viewpoints.
:)
Well, if we have to deal with the trolls here, I wish it was Snotty Brat; at least he/she was funny.
(Sorry, but I have to admit I got a kick out of Snotty Brat's posts. And may I also say they definitely chose an appropriate name!)
Dmasy- I don't seem to have a rubbish bin beside date & time on my comments?
The more I think about it, I actually laugh out loud that Kate couldn't wait more than 24 seconds into the Today Show interview to grasp for a show for hersel...err..."the kids". I don't ever recall seeing anyone else do that on tv. It's called self-respect, Kate. Get some.
Kate's eyes always make me think she's either tired, stoned or hungover.
As for Jon living a completely different life than her and the kids - Really? He seems to have given up the party lifestyle, but I could be wrong. In fact, Kate seems to be the one who is jet setting hither, thither and non.
Wow, watched the IE clip--she looked like she was about to fall asleep, alternating with being majorly pissed off. And she wanted people to watch that? She may have thought she was putting herself "out there", but I think she did herself more harm than good. Started off bad and just got worse as the day went on.**Shudder**

Does CC have to pay to have Kate on the Today Show, to promote them?
OK...I did watch The Inside Edition interview. It was less than 30 seconds...of DESPERATION!
It was sad, here Kate thought she was gonna flirt with Matt and he was off today. lol
Then Kate wasn't allowed to wait in the green room, she had to sit on that damn sofa for 15 min. Trump and his entourage had the green room blocked off. lol
Then Kate gets Anne Curry, who dispises her. You could see no love between these two. When Kate said her kids were doing so well in school across the board or some dumb thing. Anne said "acrossed the board?" and Kate repeated yes they are all doing so well across the board....wow, could feel the fire.lol
The dress? The boobs hanging down? Steve forgot to pack the good bra?lol But that dress? Did her mother or grandmother lend it to her? Ugly. lol
Her hair and makeup? Very sad, this was an attractive, naturally nice looking women when the kids were 3 yrs old. Now she looks sooooooooo old and so almost bald. lol
She can't speak, she can work for CC, she cannot speak, she has no idea what sentence structure is. So sad. lol
So she left NY and the Essex House (do they have bed bugs? Not exactly Trump Place you know) lol
Back to Wernersville and the Mansion overlooking her many, many acres, just in time for the wonderful, well developed, excelling in school children to arrive home. lol
Kate had no zip, no smile in her eyes and I hardly saw those big veneer teeth, no big smiles (as Anne is not a fan of Kate')lol lol
I do have to be serious for a moment. I do not think Kate nor Jon is stupid. lol I'm serious though. I think Kate was so angry at Jon for walking away from that money, trips, house, etc., that she blames him for her even losing K+8. Everything bad was Jon's fault. All he had to do was pretend on camera and Jon needed to get out there and "play around with those women who were flirting with him" Childish.
Now they both realize, there is no real money left. Jon never got a big job like he thought he was going to get with Michael Lohan, lol
Kate has finally realized that a once a week Blog was not going to get her any money, clothes but most of all, staying home with those 8 kids, that is driving her crazy. Yet she has no talent or skills by herself.
Kate and Jon would love to get back on TV and do whatever they have to do, pretend, fight, stay divorced and try to travel together, whatever it takes, as long as Kate can bring Steve with her and Jon has his girlfriends. But with all the celebrities willing to expose their underwear or lack of it, like the Kardashians and everyone from 90210. All those housewives shoes.
Kate had her chance and that was 8 yrs ago when realtiy was pretty new and then Jon blew it all out of the water, Kate got a bigger head (and I think it is still growing)and a bad attitude.
Kate never learned to treat people/fans/sponsors like CC right. She doesn't realize we can not go backward in life, we must learn to move forward.
Kate had her chance by blogging and getting big in the world of Bloggers, coupons, etc., this is a big and new field. She has screwed everything up because she wants to travel, get free clothes, shoes, etc.
Kate needs a psychiatrist because these kids are growing fast, have problems (Joel thought 37 on Kate's birthday cake was 73, dyslexia) and these kids will require a lot of money to stay in private school.
Kate never listened to anyone, she never pretended she loved everyone, she truly expected everything to be given to her. She, for some reason, truly believes she deserves everything for free. She has 8 children.
God Bless those children. What a screwed up mess and Kate will not get a job for money.
Daniela,
Welcome and thanks for the links to those photos (I think!)lol
Gee, Kate, where can I buy that good bra!
She must have had one heck of a bra while pregnant to keep those puppies so full on top.
(snark)
Dmasy,
Thanks about the google acct info, I just might do that.
Improbable Dream, I agree with you completely. You can see the turmoil and unhappiness on her face.
I'm sure part of it is that she knows the well is running dry and sees that there is little chance of refilling it again to what she had a few years ago. I think it is really starting to sink in that those days are probably gone forever. She can put on her bravado when twittering all of the positive quotes and thoughts, but she can't disguise the truth that shows on her face.
There's also a part of me that says it's not just seeing everything slip away that is bothering her; I do believe that this is just her natural countenance. Even when she was on top of the world, she was still unhappy, nasty, and bitchy. She was mean to everyone around her and complained about even the smallest things, blowing them way out of proportion.
We have a friend who is male, but is like Kate is so many ways; he is just never happy about anything and always finds something to complain about. He and his wife designed their home and had it built about 15 years ago. They built a 5 bedroom although they have no kids. They were having problems with the high mortgage, but her mother (who is very wealthy) came to the rescue.
One Christmas she paid off their new cars and their credit cards for them. Our friend still complained about how tough things were for them (although they go to FL for 2 weeks every year and stay at a resort).
A few Christmases later (about 8 or 9 years ago), her mother said she was giving them their inheritance early instead of making them wait until she passed away. So she paid off their house. She wanted them to no longer be stressed with the bills.
This would make anyone ecstatic, but our friend now complains about the utility bills and the annual taxes. They both make good money so none of this should be a problem, but he is just continually unhappy and never satisfied.
Sorry for the long post, but this is how I see Kate as well. It will never be enough.
Well, there you have it. Proof that Kate is still totally willing to exploit her kids for profit.
Not just willing; she's itching, hoping and begging. I just pray that no one is interested.
And how is it not totally creepy that she brings 'the fans' and 'the crew' into it?
She didn't mention money issues or losing their home or private school or even opportunities the kids might not otherwise get.
Nope, the kids miss the crew (kudos to those of you who pointed out how ridiculous that statement is - because yeah having a television crew in their lives is so much more important than having grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins) and HER fans want to see them.
That, to me, is more telling than anything else about this whole tragedy. Kate's really willing to expose her kids to the ongoing invasion of their privacy and continued exploitation because Milo and CJ say they'd just love to see the kids grow up?
WTF!?!?
Anyone who doesn't see something seriously disturbing about that has some major morality issues.
What mom wouldn't be on the phone to her lawyer looking into restraining orders if some stranger on the internet was twittering about wanting to watch her kids grow up?
Really?
I've said this before: kart 'could have' made it big... she had the opportunity and the set-up (HOM).
She could have worked out some kind of deal that made her money (for her KIDS, of course, snerk), gave her 18 years of TV exposure and the lifestyle she craved.
But her personality, her greed + laziness, her arrogance and ignorance got in her way.
Cases in point:
1. Martha Stewart is widely recognized as a bitch behind the scenes. Not a bitch-because-she's-a-powerful-woman bitch, but just a rude arrogant person. She had a dream AND (here's the important thing) she had talent and/or recognized enough to hire talent.
She knew what she didn't know, and what she did and didn't do well and hired staff to make her business look good. She has respect for her shareholders and is a darned good business woman, personality notwithstanding.
Her staff did all the research, laid the tables, tilled the gardens, polished the silver, decorated her homes and she claimed credit.
That used to chap my ass. BUT, I have grudgingly come to agree that her magazines are good, they are works of art actually, her sense of style is impeccable and she has really good articles and photos in her publications.
Didn't like her as a person but agreed that she had amazing work ethic and produced an industry that has come to define style and domestic arts.
2. Paula Deen pulled herself up by her bootstraps and worked like a dog to raise her boys after her husband left her. I met her once and she was charming in that southern way she has. This was years ago and admittedly her accent and demeanor was not as thick as it has become.
Love her recipes or hate them, she worked hard and made something of herself. She had talent and worked hard. I've never read anywhere that she threw her deserting husband under the bus.
3. The Dilly's. Becky and her husband had 6 kids after their first child. They are good people, and did some limited TV in the early years. They put the TV money aside for the kids to grow for college funds.
They worked hard, kept their jobs except for a short time when dad stayed home and Becky worked full-time as a nurse. They are kind and grateful people who are good parents.
They even sold the large donated house and downsized home as a way to pay their own way.
And they protected their childrens' privacy!
These are only three people I can think of who had a dream, overcame adversity, WORKED HARD, made the most of their opportunities. I'm sure you all here can think of many more people who were successful in light of presumed adversity. Folks who made it just by hard work....
What do they have in common? Work ethic, ability to navigate interpersonal relationships, some kind of talent to market, smarts to figure out a long-term niche.
kart has none of those things. And she has no clue that she's clueless.
Again I say, I will always be amazed at her inability to 'get it' and her complete failure at everything. I always thought no one could be that unlucky or inept.
A sad waste. And her window of opportunity is closed.
Brings to mind that Courtney Stodden chick or Heidi/Spencer duo. Now they are true blue idiots, but at least there no kids who will suffer for it.
Life is strange, isn't it?
Angie you bring up one very good point that is quite ironic.
What did Kate used to say to Jon all the time when they were at the pinnacle of their popularity?: "We can never go back"
Well Kate, take your own advice. Your 15 minutes are up, and you "can never go back". It's time to move on from your past, your fame has faded. Settle into mediocre life and raise your children, simply and honestly.
What exactly does that mean, Jon is living a different life from her and the kids?
Obviously she means it in a negative way, I mean this IS Kate discussing Jon.
But why so bitchy three years after the divorce? If she doesn't like questions about him, she can just say so on the rare and getting rarer occasion that she's interviewed. (It would bug me to still be asked about my ex-husband three years after the fact, but I guess she'll take any kind of attention.)
The nicest thing she ever did for him was file for divorce. She set him free! But I think she has regretted it.
Kate's desperation has me thinking perhaps she doesn't have tons of money in the bank. The well is probably running dry, and quickly.
LOL Admi you should put this pic up next.
And let's see how many funny comments we can come up with.
http://www.zimbio.com/pictures/vbz8WPJQQkG/Kate+Gosselin+Today+Show/StVdE2v8Hz1
Just an FYI to my post @123. Unfortunately, we nor many people see these friends anymore. We see them once a year in August when mutual friends have a big end of summer BBQ at their home.
Unfortunately, dealing with the continuously unhappy and complaining person was just too much. Many of us making car payments, monthly mortgage payments, college tuitions, credit cards, etc., could not relate to his constant complaining about finances when basically they have very few bills, and now owe MUCH less than the rest of us.
You just get tired and frustrated of being around someone so blessed, but yet is a constant complainer.
How much does she get paid for these appearances on IE and Today show?
Is this in any way profitable for her? Or is it just a way to keep her face/name in the news?
Chefsummer: is that the pic of her side view and looking like a hog? I saw abunch of pics at zimbio, my brouser Bing, won't let me go to that site from here. It won't copy & paste either.
Perm name: I don't think she gets paid to be on those shows. I think CC paid for this trip, to the Today show.
If this was all Kate went to NYC for, it was a waste of time & money. Kate could have done this a week or 2 ago when she was in NYC for her hair.

Or here's a direct link to her page

If those photos at Zimbio are any indication, Kate's "good bra" has gotten a whole lot "gooder."
I have a feeling she begged to be on The Today Show to get her face out there again in hopes of being selected for DWTS All Stars. I think she will be doing some major pimping and crazy attention seeking stunts from now until they pick a new cast.
She reeks of desperation.
Dmasy #91...Thanks, but I'm not finding that little trashcan anywhere, even by right clicking, on my computer.
Adm, it's now #81 I'd like you to delete for me.
Anger issues,
So..... she didn't get paid, but she DID show everyone what an idiot is continues to be?
Doesn't seem like such good business sense for her family business does it? LOL
Remember that old saying: 'Better to be thought a fool, than open your mouth and remove all doubt".
My mom always told me that one, along with "you'll catch more flies with honey than vinegar", and "if you can't say anything good, don't say anything at all" - LOL -
My aunt, mom's sister, always perverted that one to "if you can't say anything nice, come sit by me". Yep, we had some rootin-tootin fun family reunions!
Miss them all - family is so important.
I'm pretty sure Today doesn't pay a dime. You get a cup of coffee and the exposure.
It's a common misconception that things like this pay you to be on. It's not the case for the vast majority. "Real" journalists like Today usually don't believe in paying guests.
Chefsummer: it's the 3rd pic, she looks like she is about to snort like a hog. LOLOLOL
Lovemygrandsons,
It's a virture to protect yourself in situations like that.
Christian forgiveness, or whatever name you call it, only goes so far. Then you have to step away.
Ironically, I bet that family is now grousing about how all their friends don't call anymore.
Some folks just like to complain. Meh.....
You were wise to step away, IMHO.

Totally agree with this Permanent, I have also said it before.
Kate could have been set for life with all the opportunities presented to her 'on a golden platter'.
Unfortunately, Kate's 'world skew' is such that she sees herself as innately deserving of a hefty paycheck and tv show merely because she incubated HOMs.
That was the work. That was the job. It seems that in her mind that this alone should have been enough.
What?! I gestated 6 babies at once and now you want me to actually provide for and parent them? Pffftttt.
Awwww poor Katie, her machinations didn't work out the way she planned because nobody on this planet knows how to help her. *eye roll*
this article about people who eat organic food being jerk showed up on my fb feed yesterday made me laugh and think about you know who..

JudyK,
That little trashcan thing only shows up if your name is highlighted in blue like some of the posters names.
When I sign in via google, my name shows up in blue and it's clickable and the trashcan is there.
I'm usually too lazy to sign in via google and just choose Name ID so I show up in black.
HTH.
Just how many times can she say that the kids miss the crew ( I believe only one guy was an original) and the kids want to travel. It's KATE, not the kids, that want those things. Geez.
And when any tabloid show says Kate is " hot", this prompting is coming from her PR. She looks more like a 40-year-old hooker. Nasty.
Wonder if the sheeple/twitter friends were disappointed?
That bitch!
In the IE interview, she made it sound like Jon only now just started to pay child support.
And I agree with the posters who remark that kHate's eyes look dead. She's got dead 'shark eyes' just like Scott Peterson, member him????
TLC stinks said... 145

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some of her looks are definitively hooker-ish- like in that Big Apple epi! The low tops, no bra good or otherwise, hot pants , tranny shoes, and odd behavior on the street...yup. She hasn't done any better recently.
Just once it would be nice for Kate to say how grateful they all are for having had the travel opportunities, and all the other perks that came along with their show(s).
She never says, "we were so fortunate to be given so much, and we realize our good fortune, the kids have so many good memories"
If she displayed even the slightest bit of humility and likability she would still have her show, at the very least, 'update' shows. She is so angry, so consumed with a sense of entitlement she is unable to move forward even by an inch.
Sadly, her children's lives have been put on hold, in a perpetual state of wait. I believe she has told them, "someone will see me on the TODAY show, or Inside Edition and hear me say how much YOU miss being on television" She is teaching them that an everyday, ordinary life has no value or real meaning. As the years grind on for Kate, and grind they will, her kids will need to know they have worth off camera.
Does anyone wonder why she didn't ask the people at TODAY if she could include her kids in her interview this morning? The sextuplets just turned 8, her 'begging' fans could have seen how much they've grown. She either has no savvy, no idea how to stay relevant or interesting, or she is afraid her children may 'out' her as the desperate, mean-spirited liar she is.
Permanent Name, thanks for your understanding. Being Christian it's a hard decision to make to cut some people out of your life. However, sometimes you have no choice.
I hope Kate realizes this very soon before her children are old enough to make the decision that her toxic personality is just too much to handle and they decide to cut her out of their life.
Eek, looked at Zimbio. That third one is hilarious! But oh my, 'gooder' bra is right, Griftopia!!
Took a peek at the IE interview and she has definitely had Botex. Those frown lines between her eyebrows are gone. Her face is tight so not much expression. She really acts flat. Not attractive at all. I agree before she had the work done, around the time she was doing the book tours, she looked younger and fresher. Dressed nice too in her Ann Taylor clothes. Now she just looks hard. I guess how you are in the inside shows up on the outside.
Jumping In, very well said; thank you.
Could someone fill me in on wjat HOM is? I tried looking it up, but really couldn't fit in in here. Thanks a bunch.
Well, it's been fun tonight! It's good to post with like-minded women. Good blogs are not always easy to find. Kudos, Admin.
Everyone who posts here is so nice, with intelligent contributions and insight --- except for those who aren't, of course. I'll call them The Swiffered Ones. The word troll is so last year... sigh. ha ha.
I think I'll take a little snarky page from kart's book and say "GN all - had a busy day, hard workout at the gym, knees are aching, need to get to bed because I have a busy day tomorrow: have zero lunches to pack and no loads of laundry to do, and all my paperwork is done"....
Aren't you all just CAPTIVATED?! Don't you want to turn in tomorrow to see what I post? LOL
I promise, no posts tomorrow -
humble promise :-)
HOM = High Order Multiples = lots of babies in one pregnancy. I think triplets begins the HOM category

That's the thing of it, isn't it Jumping?
When has Kate ever shown the slightest bit of gratitude? Everything that she was given, she bitched about. Nothing was ever good enough. I shudder to think how the people who donated clothing, cribs and even redecorated her home for her felt when she complained and dissed their efforts and generosity.
And, if this blog and others like it is any indication, Kate needs no help at all in exposing her lies, mean-spirit or her desperation.
In my opinion, all the better. That way she can't blame the kids 'for making her look bad' the way she did Aunt Jodi.

True. But ABC got around that with the Casey Anthony trial when they paid @$200,000 for pics/video of 2 year old Caylee Marie Anthony. Jose Baez later claimed this money helped fuel Casey's defense.
Checkbook journalism is very common with the tabloids. Pics, Video, Exclusive Interviews all sold to highest bidder.

Somebody must have reemed her a*s out for "forgetting" to mention that little tidbit on today's media blitz.
Re: Ann Tayloe LOFT dresses Content Farmer used to wear ...the dresses themselves were fine. But CF's extra assets were not supported well in the babydoll dresses she favored for awhile.
There was a picture of CF on the driveway handing out summer school work for the kids, wearing a black babydoll dress. She bent over the table, and I swear if I had been standing any closer, I could have seen if she was an "innie" or an "outie". It was not the dress' fault. The style simply did not suit CF's enhanced self. And she owned at least 3 of those dresses and wore them a lot.
Just watched DWTS and have 2 comments.
One, it was so refreshing to see contestants actually thanking judges and viewers for all the support...our orange friend would do well to learn from them!
Two, on what planet does anyone think that having said orange friend on the show would be a good thing??? Gawd....

She could make a mint peddling those things.

OR, she knows that Jon would say NO.

Well, I truly think we are nearing the end of the line with Katie Irene. Her performances today verged on the gruesome. She doesn't appear natural in terms of her facial expressions, barely cracks a smile. Isn't "sunny" the correct disposition for SuperMom of 8 on a morning show? She couldn't have been further from it. And when will she ever learn to speak? It's painful to listen to her.
Her little spiel about getting "her" recipes in order and the "8 testers"? Yeah, it doesn't sound like she's anywhere close to getting something like that into shape. All in all, mentioning the handful of things that she's dabbling in at the moment just makes her sound like she's scrambling for relevance in ANYTHING. She doesn't sound committed in any one direction, and as much as she likes to harp on "passion," there was NONE in evidence today.
I still think she has plenty of money put aside for herself, I think the note of desperation that's surfacing now is that the kids' accounts aren't big enough to cover the school tuition for much longer. Kate will consider it a crisis of gargantuan proportions the minute she has to dip into what she considers hers.
I wonder how much longer she'll flail around in terms of deciding what do to. I can't imagine after today's interviews that anyone from TV is going to come running--and that includes DWTS, which is ending on such a high note, you wouldn't think they'd be eager to reintroduce the Kate Gosselin brand of negativity.
What happened to that picture with the fork? You should update it with one of the photos from the Today interview. I think she's just about there.
If you look at the pictures at zimbio(older ones) there are pictures of Kate at LA airport...they are totally NOT Kate....it's around picture 75...there's over 1000 pics and I could barely get through the first 100...the boob-olution (evolution) over time is soo obvious...that's some bra!
I just watched the clips (well,I only made it half way through each of them) and I cant BELIEVE that Kate is STILL talking about her divorce... for Christ sakes it was HOW many years ago?!? Get over it woman! Her interviews reminded me of this quick story- my brother is a psychology professor and one day we were back in our home town and we bumped into an old friend of his. My brother asked her what was new and she immediately launched into this rant about her divorce- going over every annoying little detail. When she was done my brother asked how long ago this was and she said "9 years ago"...
When we walked away my brother said to me something like "When people talk about events from years past, with that much emotion and anger still attached, like it JUST happened, that's a pretty clear sign of mental illness".
And she really does look a lot older then she should. Her hair looks awful (yellow and fried much?). A poster mentioned previously that Kate looks weird in the second clip, like she took a sedative or something,I completely agree! Her eyes look very droopy and she sounds out of it.
Anyway, total waste of airtime.
Just watched the IE interview with the sound off - Khate's voice makes me mean :) The transparency on Khate's face is so remarkable. The adjectives I thought of while I watched her face were:
mean
sad
jealous
contemptuous
sedated
joyless
desperate
Khate was so blase, so completely without expression - she's either not nervous at all (given the foot pumping on the Today show I would imagine that's not the case) or on some sort of medication or way overbotoxed.
I'm sure everyone is different in front of a camera but it seems like it would sort of "pump" you up somewhat and you'd be a little animated from the adrenaline. I was interviewed once at my job a long, long time ago by a local TV station and I was so nervous I could hardly think straight it was insane...I'm not normally a very animated person but the interview made me seem like Liza Minelli on stage. The 10,000 watt lights shining in my face and my nervousness made me "perform", isn't that what you're supposed to do for TV? Especially if you're trying to promote yourself - like Kate so pathetically did.
on a side note...Why can't I quit this blog!??! AAGHH! I've tried several times but I always come back.
This woman in Pennsylvania is so morbidly inexplicably fascinating to me - I want to be a Professor of Khateology with a minor in Narcissism and do my doctoral dissertation on her...She just seems to be one of the never ending poster children for our society's obsession with celebrity, it's (IMHO) growing population of narcissistic and socipathic individuals and the continued belief that material wealth is the ultimate goal. No, Kate this does not make me a fan - you are a case study to me - an aberration, not a celebrity.
I still think she has plenty of money put aside for herself, I think the note of desperation that's surfacing now is that the kids' accounts aren't big enough to cover the school tuition for much longer
----------
A few days back, Admin said Jon fought Kate (and won) regarding setting up the kids a trust fund with their money....some (or all)of the kid's money may already be in a trust; if that's the case, then Jon's 22,000 monthly support was paying tuition and some bills...now since he only pays 1500 a month, she may be freaking out that SHE is now having to pay the kid's tuition....
just an idea....

Just how many times can she say that the kids miss the crew (I believe only one guy was an original) and the kids want to travel. It's KATE, not the kids, that want those things. Geez.
*********************
My mediocre kingdom for the interviewer who will finally call Kate out on this ridiculous claim that the kids miss the crew [and therefore need a new reality show – wonderful leap in logic there, Kate … but I digress]. Silly me, when I miss someone, my first thought is to call that person on the telephone, or invite him or her over to my house for a nice meal. If the kids really miss “the crew” so much, Kate, how about you invite them over for a big swim party in your fabulous pool? You can follow the polar-bear dip by serving undercooked chicken (and many egg-themed side dishes) as they lounge on your leather sofas. But of course, we all know we’re dealing in “Kate-speak” here. Kids-miss-the-crew really translates to mommy-misses-being-treated-like-a-super-stahhhhh. Sadly, as others have noted much more eloquently in previous posts, Kate’s greed, narcissism, ignorance, and ego all got in the way of what should have been the mother of all windfalls, careerwise. In a nutshell, she blew it.
On a side note, I was logging in to check my e-mail this evening, and on the sidebar there was a photo of Kate and the kids with the headline: “Gosselin kids thrive away from the spotlight.” Kate basically admitted today on national TV that the kids are doing great now that they’re no longer on TV (although she’s too dense to realize that she was doing that) – but that’s the angle the media are picking up on. Must chafe Kate’s butt to know that her latest media blitz totally backfired.
Rachel, 268 -- "...is so morbidly inexplicably fascinating to me" I wonder the same thing about myself all the time. Why? I have come up with a few explanations. Not sure if they are correct. It is out of character for me to follow a "celebrity".

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).
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
In Kate speak it means Jon is more available to take the kids more often so she doesnt have to pay a nanny or babysitter for her 'me' time.
I didnt watch it coz I cant stand her accent and the way she says 'own' instead of 'on', etc. Did she still do that? What about that upspeak she did in Chicago when she ended every single sentence with a question mark like an 80s valley girl?
The pic above appears as if she has had more work done on her face, or steroids or something, her jaw seems much fuller than the pointy emaciated chin that we had all noticed before.
So thanks all, for the little recaps; sounds like more of the usual 'my kids are amazingly perfectish', "i am amazingly hard workingish" and "Jon is finally less annoyingish which I so deserve" and by the way save money.
I wonder if Stevie boy is doing Kate's makeup.
Well, well, well:

Thank you @Kateplusmy8 for the 7-page threat from your legal counsel! @radar_online @usweekly http://t.co/nNiQ5eWJ(preview) 31!!!!!!!!!
The link takes you to the GosselinBook blog, where there is finally a (interesting) post. Admin, you should see if they'll compare their C&D letter with yours!
But you're not following a celebrity. You're following Kate.
Thanks again Dmasy for the info; thanks Permanent Name for explaining why I couldn't find the trashcan; and thanks Adm for deleting my juvenile post.
Amazingly, I've read all the posts today and agree that Kate's appearance on IE (wasn't that less than one minute--ha) was even worse than on Today.
My aunt, mom's sister, always perverted that one to "if you can't say anything nice, come sit by me". Yep, we had some rootin-tootin fun family reunions!
^^^^^^^
Permanent Name: LMAO!!!!!

I know its been said all day but the thing about the crew is priceless. How could her kids miss a crew they haven't met yet? Thats her standard line. They're not going to have the same crew if a different network hired them. What in Gods name is she talking about?
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
If they do say that, IF, then they probably mean they miss having adults around who can run interference for them with their nasty mother. Also, adults who appear to take an interest in each child while they film the child. Bad attention is often better than no attention.
Wowser #166
That's Jennie Garth
Oops. Meant #166
Here's my take on the filming crew: The kiddos are asking to go on a vacation trip...like the ones their peers in school take. To Katie Irene this means filming, a network and a film crew. How can one take a trip (X9) without extras to record the memories (and pay for it)?
Just watched what I assume was the edited west-coast airing of Inside Edition. It seemed to me they were rubbing Kate's nose in Jon's new relationship, and she was obviously not amused. No mention of the new Coupon Cabin App. Her determination to get herself and her children back on television was blantently obvious and all she is interested in pitching. She can talk about Coupon Cabin, running marathons or 'peace' with Jon but none of those things matter. There is just one thing that matters and that is getting herself back to her former glory.
They threw her a bone by pointing out her new, more modern hair-do, but it will take more than a new look to save her. She is done.
Admin, I was wondering if you saw the post at gosselin.blogspot.com and if so what your thoughts were about how they interpreted the law.
It's been so long, I'd forgotten how poorly she performs in front of a camera. Wow, that was not good...
What was with the constant downward-left glances - was she looking at herself on the monitor? That's what it looked like.
now since he only pays 1500 a month, she may be freaking out that SHE is now having to pay the kid's tuition....
just an idea....
___________
Maybe she's not paying it. She can take it out of the kids' 15 percent account. It's for education, welfare, anything that benefits the children. It's doubtful that she wouldn't do this if it meant not having to dip into her accounts.
Does anybody know where I can see the east coast version of today's interviews? Today Show and Inside Edition?
I would love to see the unedited versions.
Thanks.
Her determination to get herself and her children back on television was blantently obvious and all she is interested in pitching.

Does she understand it's best to pitch directly to network execs and not just make a desperate, embarrassing plea just in general for someone, anyone to please put her and her kids back on T.V.?
I mean really, get off your ass, write up a proposal for a show and get your people to get you a meeting with someone. Lazy.
After reading the post about Kate screwing up on the Today Show by not mentioning the app, I looked at CC and saw her blog about it. I swear to god almighty, if I hear her use the term "screech of delight" one more time I am going to have to start meditating for solice. Her kids squeal with delight, she screeches with delight. So much delight. Must be nirvana in Gosselinland.
She is so done. Going on tv and whining for a new reality show is all she's got? If she's got some money in the bank, why not invest in herself if she's so awesome? She can open up her own business, bankroll herself. Why does she think others should take the financial risk while she sits on her gross ass all day? Time to nut up and get a job or fund herself for an entrepreneurial opportunity. The handouts and love offerings have dried up. She has exhausted everyone already.

I think she did this direct pitching to network executives for the past 10 months. I think some of the executives may have said that they fear Jon would put up roadblocks to have his kids filmed and they are not willing to fight Jon on this. And I think the executives also had fears that 2 of the 8 were so badly disturbed that will were politely asked to leave the school for many, many months. This no doubt presented another fear and roadblock for filming the kids. Afterall, Kate's ratings were not all that bad. Most of the time, she had over 1 million in ratings.
Hence, that is why Kate put the word out today that Jon and Kate were getting along much better, the kids are doing amazing well in school and life, the kids want to film, Jon and Kate had a meeting "behind the scenes" and came to a peaceful agreement, and Jon very recently implied that he was neutral as far as filming his kids. Before, he was dogmatic about no filming of his kids. In less than a few weeks,in a radio and tv interview he is giving out a different vibe that he may be changing his mind. Also, Jon admitted he was behind on child support and he is hurting financially.
Yes, Kate had a mission today and it was to those executives & others that things have changed for the better and please reconsider filming her family again.
I didnt watch kate today.But I see here that many did. I just have to ask....why give this woman an audience? I'm not trying to be a shit-stirrer or anything like that. I can not stand kate. I love to see her called out on her lies and the shitty way she treats the kids. BUT....all of us here who cant stand her watched.
We want to slam this woman for everything BUT yet you WATCH anything and everything she says.
Just like if she gets on CA or DWTS-all stars...many have said they will watch. WHY? Why give her the attention she's looking for?
We love to beat down her sheeple for being blind of all things kate.BUT yet...we have "haters" checking her twitter and her own web-site many times a day. WHY? Why waste the time looking for all this when you hate this woman?
No..I'm not trying to make anyone feel bad for coming here...like I said...this is the best anti-kate site ever. Very smart people posting here. I just dont get why some here spend alot of time following everything kate does.
So she went on the today show yapping about nothing new....We knew that.
I think its great that Preesi is ending her blog.I really believe the haters keep kate alive more than her fans...both of them.Kate got the last laugh...she said if you love me or hate me....you still talk about me and watch me...she is SO right.It dosent matter if you hate or love her...you are still giving time to her and putting her in the news.

Your observations are spot on and your theory is darned good. You may very well be exactly right. I wonder how/if this ties in with the 'here comes the book' tweeter, too.
I always thought that Kate was naturally pretty, and, while I thought her reverse mullet haircut was ridiculous, it made her unique. Instead of building on her unique style, she has transformed herself into that generic Barbie doll, Playboy centerfold look---She looks usedup, trashy, plastic and common. If she belongs anywhere, it is on middle of the night infomercials, hawking miracle eye creams, miracle cleaning products or miracle crappy exercise equipment.
I think that she did herself no favors today--everyone except Milo and CJ know that her kids success and 'awesomeness' is because they now have a home, instead of a television set and because their succubus mother is finally being civil with their beloved daddy.
I think she is over....
....all of us here who cant stand her watched.
I don't believe that's true. Not "all of us." I didn't watch, and I won't.
This is not snark, just a question. You obviously read the posts here about her appearance today. You know what she did and didn't do. If you can't stand her, and question why others follow her when they dislike her, why did you read the posts? You know that posters read her twitter, you know that Preesi is closing her blog. Obviously you keep up with these things, too. You include yourself as "all of US here"...
That video clip on IE. She is on some type of sedative. Her eyes keep doing funny things. They almost look like they are rolling back in their sockets a few times. Especially at the point she is asked about Jon's girlfriend. Check it out.

She just looks so . . . sad. Really sad and upset, like she was crying.
heather
Starz22 . . . I have to agree. Although I do not go to her blogs and only look at her twitter feed here on this blog.
For the record.. I didn't watch. I actually was going to, but I missed it. I saw it later on the internet. What's the difference....at this point....shes toast. I never watched her show because I didn't want give her any ratings. I really don't think it matters anymore. Watch away!!!! She's been flushed..
I always thought Kate was fairly pretty. I didn't like her behavior, but she was pretty. Youthful, good clear skin, cute figure, harstyle suited her face and her personality. And she ruined it all.
Now she's just plain ugly, overused, leathery, snake like.
I really think her inner ugliness has fully blossomed now, whereas before it wasn't fully formed. Watching the video above it was painful to see how much she's changed. It's like she is a whole other person. This is what the nuns were talking about when they said that it would show on the outside when the devil has taken over your soul.
I didn't watch myself actually just heard about it here. Her interviews are too embarrassing I can't take it.
