| And another one bites the dust. |
Em Tanner responded that she gave lots of things to Kate for free, she doesn't want Kate's name on a thing and she gets lots of hate mail about her and therefore would not use Kate as a marketing tool.
Kate responded that her name being used is "not legal" and the Em was "confronted" but she "ignored." Em replied that that's "not how it went and we both know. Good luck to you." She told Kate "I'm so sorry you lost your way, I really am," and left it at that.
And the winner of this knock-down drag-out is, without a doubt, Em Tanner!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 287 of 287 Newer› Newest»She certainly gave Beth the pen and KT made millions off that particlar book, while the ones that she held the pen on were a big flop. Multiple Blessings has certainly been a blessing to KT. She did say once that their names (Jon and Beth) were on it but she was the only one that got paid. I am thinking by her saying that she somehow got Beth to sign off on a one time payment contract before it came out and was such success. KT also said something about there was supposed to be a MB II at some point but looks like that is not going to happen. Her problem is and always has been that she thinks she is the star and that the kids and Jon were just props and that is never going to change. I can't see her being succcessful in anything that she attempts on her own because she has no work ethic. That litle phrase she coined should have read "the KIDS were WORKING, and I was just PLAYING alongside of them.
scott_y102 On the air with @Kateplusmy8 this morning! She is running the Y-102 Yes I Can marathon for Special Olympics in the fall!
~~~~~~
Two things:
Did anyone listen in?
This is a 5K event, not a marathon. Why is the radio host presenting it otherwise?
Kate- Taking a loaf of bread outta my breadmachine &heading2bed... Hoping tomorrow is full of new fun challenges, positivity&energy(lots please!)! about 9 hours ago
------------
Really? Well, I am taking a load of laundry out of the dryer. Is this newsworthy? New fun challenges- (she fails all miserably),positivity - this comes from within; and energy- We all struggle to meet challenges every day, many of us with a lot on our plates, as well. Some work, some care for family, others volunteer their time, many have ill family members, etc... and we all find the "energy" to do the right thing. Why must she wish for this and simply not just do it- the martyr complex is wearing me out.
She really "does not get it," and never will. Stay off Twitter, Kate. Best thing you can do to make yourself appear human. Won't go as far at to say "normal" - ain't happening.
Freewriting during Kate's local interview:
Sorry if it doesn't make sense.
She said she doesn't do a lot of local things because she's I don't know...home very often.
Honestly.
Says she doesn't sleep in.
Contains kids. Contains disasters. Kids stay in room until the rest have woken up. They pop in a video.
No kid has their own schedule ("can you imagine if every kid had their own schedule?" she said)
Keeps turning away from the Mic and can't hear her.
Berks Run on Sept. 8.
Kate had to get a ride in by Jim Descoe (Kate called him Officer Jim). She can't make her way into Reading by herself? It's only 15 miles from her house. Someone else had to do it for her.
No Kiwi with her obviously.
Chicago CC RnR Marathon next
October Runs: Full, Half and 10k all in 4 weeks. Still not signed up so won't confirm on air.
_Got bored so didn't listen to everything_
Book Give away. Frist 3 callers get Kates book, signed.
What are her future plans?
Her dream"honestly" is to be on TV, running, w/ fitness. TV/Media world she feels like that's where she belongs.
She's writing on her iPhone her 3rd book and children's book (series) and cookbook.
Could possibly be dating (they didn't ask her but she brought it up) in the future
Jackie says Kate is a 'real person/mom' in person. Asks Kate if she would come back, Kate throws in that she'd love to take over their jobs for a day.
Needs to work more because she's bored.
Still says she has the 'gift of gab'.
Wants to do more 'local' stuff.
She might never need to work...she might be able to live off the interest so she can waste her time with these lame jobs she thinks she's working hard at....
There is no way to know if there was a settlement. For there to have been a settlement, I would think that the Gosselin children filming had to have been used by the pedophile, otherwise why would TLC pay anything to shut up Jon and Kate? No harm, no foul. If he did, then once again they got a payoff. Jon and Kate made a freakin' boatload of money from TLC. Kate made way more with the extra year of filming. She's living off the proceeds and investments. She will eventually suck that cash dry if she does not change her spending habits and down size.
Off topic, because Ms Kreider is boring.
The dh took a wrong step and tore his Achilles tendon. He had surgery last week to repair it, and goes back this week to get his incision checked and be put into a cast. He is in a splint right now. So any posters out there with experiences about this? Dh its now 5 days postop and did not need any pain meds at all on day 4. He did not have surgery involving the bone, the tendon got reattached close to the muscle from what the doctor explained to me. we have a friend who had the tendon reattached to the bone and that person had lots of pain.
Any info about how rehab went for anyone you know would be appreciated.
I caught some of Extreme Weightloss on ABC last night. The participant won a chance to dance with Tony Donolavi and they had a short amount of time to learn some salsa moves. The woman was awesome and even at almost 300 pounds (I think?) she was more happy, joyful and talented than Kate on her best day. She complimented Tony and said "I had a great teacher" he returned the favor by saying "A teacher is only as good as his student" Hear that Kate?
I don't see how J&K had any grounds to sue or to negotiate with TLC for a settlement due to the fact that they gave their consent for the kids to be filmed naked, and for the film to be circulated publicly. If they were okay with footage of their naked kids being shown to the masses, then how can they say they were violated? I think they let it go because Kate wants back on TV, and raising a fuss about it--and having it reported over and over that she was okay with the kids being filmed with no clothes on--would have hurt her chances for a new show. She is a sick, vile person, and she will use her kids any way she can to support her own lifestyle, but she absolutely will not answer for her choices. Imagine her getting up in court and saying, "Sure, I said they could film my babies naked. Yes, I said they could use anything they capture any way they wanted. Yes, I would let someone do it again for the right price. But I want money for this!" Not gonna happen.
Besides, if she got a huge payout, wouldn't she be sitting back on the beach at BHI right about now? Paying off her house? Taking some much-neede R&R (HA) time to bond with Steve? I guess time will tell. She will slip up and do something outrageously extravagant if she has money. She loves the high life too much to pretend for long.
I missed something...how could Kate be reading the Gosselinbook??
I don't get the tweet about her hair being up at the local radio station as being "rare" but it felt at home at a local radio station. Her straw hair is often pulled back. What does having your hair up have to do with being at a local radio station? This tweet was in response to someone tweeting that the radio DJ got Kate to let her hair down. Kate took it literally?
Oh yeah, she told a new tweeter to block the "vile" bullies and join our fun. Geesh, how I hate that phrase.
It sounds like that marathon is for a very good cause. I hope that Kate is not just using this as an excuse for publicity for herself (who am I kidding? Of course, she is). It would be interesting to know if she personally donates to these charities.
I don't see how J&K had any grounds to sue or to negotiate with TLC for a settlement due to the fact that they gave their consent for the kids to be filmed naked, and for the film to be circulated publicly.
&&&&
I really don't think this matters. You can't consent to someone using your kid's footage in an inappropriate way just like you can't consent to someone killing you or beating you up or robbing you. A reasonable person would not expect a company to have someone into child porn on their staff. They would expect them to screen them out.
They have a case for sure.
Aw, she felt 'at home' at a local radio station this am? Guess she's going to pretend most of the 'locals' could give a rat's ass that after what, 3 years, she's now a neighbor. Guess the not a nanny was there since she had to go to 'work' so early. Also guess that's the only 'work' on her calendar this week.
Noticed that the 'bullies' have now become the 'vile bullies' in her welcome to the fun twat.
Needs to work more because she's bored.
&&&
How about she needs to work more TO SUPPORT HER FAMILY. God.
Anyone listen to the radio talk? If so, what did she have to say ( regardless of hairdo, lol- that's so weird) Plugging Bell Bars?
Joy: sorry about your dh. I don't know too much about it- he may have more pain once he starts moving his foot more and physical therapy ( if applicable) starts. Good luck!
I don't understand....if they sued and got boat loads of money...why does Jon HAVE to work? Wouldn't he be entilted to half that money?
&&
That's simple. Jon may not have accepted that blood money. Or he may have put it in trust for the kids and not touched a dime of it himself, as most good parents would do.
Well there ya go we called it. She wants to write children's books. Therefore she's acting like she's interested in "reading."

Look at it this way, say a day care had a guy on staff who was into child porn. It's not like you can't sue because you agreed to allow your kids to be naked there when they are bathed and diapered.
Although we saw it coming and worried about it, a reasonable person would expect a business not to employ people like this.
Berks did a summary of the interview above.
Also why is she writing a book on her iPhone??? Sounds uncomfortable. Why doesn't she pull out a laptop like everyone else? She's such a freak.
Kate didn't make millions off "Multiple Blessings." Top authors don't make "millions" off of one book. Kate certainly didn't.
Who writes a book on an Iphone? She is certifiable. Plus she can't even string a line of coherent words in a tweet.
And the children stay in their rooms until everyone is up? Sounds like the warden has it all under control. She must hate that they are too old for 4 hour naps.
A police escort to the station? Oh, excellent (not) use of taxpayer $$$ for a private commercial non-event. If I lived there, I might write a letter.
Wait. Kate needed to be accompanied to the radio station by a police officer?? A local station in Reading? Oh, my God...what is wrong with her?
I thought it would be fun to share some info I got from chatting with my son's agent recently. Some of you know that one of my sons dabbles a bit in acting. His choice, and I very carefully monitor everything that goes on, and carefully limit the demands on his time. Being a teen comes first. He can still be an actor in 20 years. He can't go back and be a carefree teen again. His acting is a hobby.
Back on topic--it was a slow day, so I had some time to throw out some questions. First, I was curious about all the perks Jon and Kate got. We taked about reality tv, but I never mentioned Kate. She said that what is normally done is that certain expenses are taken into consideration when negotiating a per-episode salary. If the production company is paying for utilities, lawn care, child care, security,etc like with Kate, they are not just giving that to her, it is part of her negotiated per-epsode pay. The same goes with travel/entertainment expenses. All those great trips would ultimately be paid for by the "talent". If the talent (Kate) wanted to go to Australia, then she would either pay for her own and the kids' expenses, or let TLC pay them for her and deduct it from her pay. Somehow I don't see Kate paying for the trips and things upfront. She doesn't like taking out her checkbook. But she definitely would have ended up paying for them. Her paychecks would have been her per-episode fee minus expenses for stuff/travel.
Now, all the "donated" things, like the Crooked Houses, clothes, and the kitchen re-do, would have come from the company donating them, and all Kate would have to pay for is gift taxes on the value of the items. So, not completely free, but still a huge discount.
I already knew about agents' fees (Can be as low as 10% for union work, or as high as 20% for non-union work), lawyers' fees for contract negotiations, the high taxes for the high incomes, and how little is left over after everyone has been paid. If Kate had to pay all that, plus put 15% away for the kids, plus pay for trips and "stuff", then she would have gotten a huge paycheck, but not as much as expected. Not enough to stash away millions.
Now, this was a talent agent, not someone from TLC. But she has been in the business for decades, and handles reality TV talent, so I trust what she says.
I know that when my son works, he only ends up with 40-50% of his fee. Kate also had the kids' 15% and trips/stuff to pay for. She should be hurting right about now. Bella Bars, anyone?
JoyinVirginia @7
Your DH may just have a higher pain tolerance than others or recover quicker. Was he active before the injury? That can help a lot when you are recovering from one. My dad is very active and has brittle bone disease so he injures himself quite often. He has a high pain tolerance and staying active helps him recover very quickly.
I am afraid to think about her writing a children's book because it will most likely be about HER 8. Exploitation continues.
I'm not fully digesting this police escort thing. Why can't she walk to her car, unlock it, get in the driver's seat, turn it on and DRIVE THERE???? Her ego can't be that out of control, can it? There can't be a local left who gives two flying figs about her that would necessitate a police escort.
So, your tax payer dollars paid for Kate's ride to the station this morning, am I understanding this right?
How much you want to bet the book is either her biography, because she thinks she's so darn interesting, or it's about how you survive a horrible divorce and horrible ex and make it as a single mom.
My Life So Far she is not.
Kate's trying to promote this run, but seems like she doesn't even care enough to get the date right. The run is scheduled for Sept.8--
kateplusmy8
I'm here w/ @radiogrl43 at @y102wrfy and we are talking about the YES I CAN 5K run on Sept 9 at Grings Mill!
Thanks Berks, 'you took one for the team' as Kate once said to Aaden for wearing a dirty sock on he is infected eczema-riddled hand...
Again, WHO would write a book on a phone? That's ridilcuopus. A series of children's books? Who would buy them other than a few tweet moms. Cookbook on a phone?
TV- with fitness and running theme?
Sounds like Kate's dreams and boot-camp at home haven't changed much...will they ever?
Administrator you a lawyer right since I don't know anything about lawsuits.
Since the while kid porn came out how can Kate or Jon sue TLC for putting or showing the kids naked?
J&K had to give some sorta of consent in filming or wouldn't be filmed right?
Police escort to Reading?? WHY? Why would the police even entertain that idea? Was there a 'mob scene' for those of you who are local?
Dear Kate,
If you come to New England, please do not come to the Cape. Thank you.
So she goes by herself to Target, FedEx, nail salon, tanning salon, church, runs on county roads etc. but cannot drive to a local radio station? Did Steve tell her to shove it and drive to the station by herself? Well, well this just adds another psychological issue on top of her others. This is hilarious if she envisioned a pap tailgating her to the Reading station.
My personal favorite
IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER - by Erma Bombeck
(Written after she found out she was dying from cancer)
If I had my life to live over,
I would have talked less and listened more.
I would have invited friends over to dinner
even if the carpet was stained,
or the sofa faded
I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room
and worried much less about the dirt
when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.
I would have taken the time to listen
to my grandfather ramble about his youth.
I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer
day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.
I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose
before it melted in storage.
I would have sat on the lawn with my children
and not worried about the grass stains.
I would have cried and laughed less while watching television
and more while watching life.
I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband.
I would have gone to bed when I was sick
instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern
if I weren't there for the day.
I would never have bought anything just because it was practical,
wouldn't show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.
Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy,
I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment
growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a
miracle.
When my kids kissed me impetuously,
I would never have said,
'Later. Now go get washed up for dinner..'
There would have been more 'I love you's; more 'I'm sorry's.'
But mostly, given another shot at life,
I would seize every minute...
look at it and really see it ...
live it ... and never give it back.
Got the name wrong... Mr. Policeman that drove her into Reading today was:
Jim Demsko
Police Officer at City of Reading
Reading, Pennsylvania (Reading, Pennsylvania Area) Law Enforcement
Jackie (the radio personality) mentioned it a couple of times.
Oh and Kate "BULLSh*T" on the 'co-hosting' tweet. You didn't co-host, you were there to promote the run. Always fricken always taking an advantage of anything and everything to PROMOTE YOURSELF. Get over it. It's about the kids needing help NOT about YOU! !
Chef see my post above. Here's more details.
In the law there are defenses to crimes, and one of them is consent. For instance say someone doesn't like their goldfish so they ask their friend to take him out and flush him down the toilet. You can't turn around and sue them for killing your goldfish because you consented to it.
BUT, consent is not a defense that can be used for certain heinous crimes like murder, assault, etc., because of the public policy of not allowing people to consent to such horrible things and not allowing people to get away with bad things just because someone asked them to do it.
You may remember recently some guys were shooting each other in the leg for fun and someone got really hurt, and the other guy was arrested. Even though they both consented to it, a bad assault is a bad assault. Because child pornography is such a heinous crime, Blankinship would have a heck of a time arguing he can't be sued because Jon and Kate gave him naked footage of their kids and thus "consented" to it. And think about it, what did they really consent to? They certainly didn't consent to child porn.
Jon and Kate gave that footage in a production and editing environment with the specific intent of him blurring out the private parts and putting together an episode for TV. It's not like they handed it over and said here take what want from it to satisfy your child porn needs.
Was it stupid to film the kids like this, OF COURSE. Would most parents do such a thing, no. But handing over footage to edit for a cute little TV show in no way means you're consenting to that footage to be used in pornography or even viewed by someone into that. And, even if you did consent to such a horrible thing, I STILL think you could sue, because you simply cannot consent to such a thing.
Berks Neighbor said... 3 ...."Freewriting during Kate's local interview:
Sorry if it doesn't make sense.
She said she doesn't do a lot of local things because she's I don't know...home very often.
Honestly."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Thank you Berks for taking one for the team! You are a brave woman to listen to that start to finish! Just hearing Kate speak a few words makes my hair stand on end. I'd rather hear a pack of cats being bathed all at the same time.
In a nutshell, we've learned that because TV is where she insists she belongs, she's still sitting in the konpound, being bored and making wishes. Lovely. I'm no entertainment expert.... but if it hasn't happened by now I don't think it's going to happen. The only thing that could put her back in the spotlight is coming clean with her relationship with ratclaws and maybe having a reality show of the wedding. You know, trainwreck stuff. As far as ever being taken seriously as a media personality, not happening. Her name has shown to be unprofitable with negative connotations attached to it.
I feel bad that the primary caregiver of those 8 kids sits around making wishes instead of making her own success and destiny. She's not a vital and positive role model for them.
Berks I don't get it. Did she explain WHY she needed to spend your tax dollars on a police escort for something 10 minutes away? Was she laughing about this, was this funny?
Kate has a new post at CC titled "Kate’s Tips for Kids’ Summer Education". However, when you click on the title or click "more" to read the whole article, you get a message saying "There are no posts that meet that criteria."
Wonder if anyone will notice and care to fix it. This is what can be see so far:
"Summertime is, without a doubt, a busy time but it is generally a sun-filled-relaxing-sleep-in-every-day-no-schedule time of year, which is exactly why my kids need some learning reinforcement.
Since my six youngest started school, I have faithfully required summer school work to keep their skills sharp for the next school year.
Early on, I thought I was among the very few mommies who required such daily “I hate it” work (as my kids say) but in recent years I’ve realized that not only are there many moms who share my feelings on summer education, there are also many programs available to achieve that goal."
I'm curious to know what money-saving tips are in this article, and what "programs" Kate is using to "achieve that goal".
Oh and Scott, the other radio dude said around 7:15am this morning when Jackie said she was watching the monitors to see if Kate was there yet, he commented that 'security was tight' this morning.
For KATE GOSSELIN who runs by herself on winding roads? ? ? She really thinks she's all that and a Bag of Chips...
Picture of Kate at the radio station today And you can listen to it here as well.
She said she needs to work more because she is bored. How the hell is she bored with eight kids!!!!!! Sorry for the exclamation points. Just had to do it.
Early on, I thought I was among the very few mommies who required such daily “I hate it” work (as my kids say)
&&&
Right out of the gate she's insulting mothers. Looking around at all the dummies out here I would have thought i was the only one who cared about my kids staying educated-ish! How shocked to find out I'm not!
And gosh does summer school have to be such an awful drag? If they hate it, find something they do like. There are a million and one ways to teach kids during the summer that don't make them dread it.
Still digesting this nugget:
"Can you imagine if every kid had their own schedule?"
Yes, I can imagine. Each one of those children is an individual, with his or her own interests, desires, etc. You have 8 individuals Kate, not a two pack and a six pack! There were days that I had to do a lot of juggling and wish that I had a clone to get my kids to every activity. Luckily, the mothers in my kids circle of friends communicated and we were able to get them (usually) everywhere they needed to be. Many times I would be the one driving a van full of cheerleaders or basketball players to games and rehearsals. The other moms would alway be sure to take their turn driving and reciprocate in any way they could. It can be done Kate! Let your children try whatever sport they want. You'd be surprised how many Moms out there would be willing to help out, that is if you haven't burned every bridge you've ever crossed in your life.
FL Mama exactly. Not only can I imagine it but I think each kid has a RIGHT to their own schedule. Make some friends, get some car pools set up, my understanding is there is even a late bus from school they can take, get Jon on board helping. Eight schedules are not only possible but probable.
She doesn't WORK. What else does she have to do but shuttle kids to their things?
The link to hear the radio interview doesn't work but I see the picture. Maybe they haven't put it up yet.
I'll do a new post on it.
I see they're allowing comments. This could be good.
She's bored? Confirms to me she doesn't do much at the Konpound. If I had eight kids and that big house, I'd have no time to be bored.
Writing a book on an iPhone? That's a first.
ugh, her favorite word, "require". and I agree- a majority of mediocre parents find educational-ish activities for their children- Kate is not the only mommy who does- who does she think she is?
She hasn't mentioned any, though, except the games the twins design and VBS. Oh yes, her plastic placements are educational-ish, silly me!
I see she had the ta-ta's exposed for Officer Jim.

*************************************
Well... I'm kinda used to Kate frivolously spending my tax dollars so it didn't seem that out of the ordinary.....lol ;)
I don't know where exactly she went in Reading, but on one dangerous US cities ranking, Reading is 21st. It's pretty bad. However, while I maaaaybe understand her safety concerns, what I don't understand is why she didn't hire a car service to drop her off at the station and pick her up when she was done. Why did she need a cop to do this? What a tool. And I'm sure she did think it was funny, getting a free service and extra special treatment all in the same day. Her narcissistic supply got a double prize.
radiogrl43
@Kateplusmy8 you are a complete gem! Great job this morning on air. Thank you for helping with berks county special olympics!
I read this and my eyes weren't focusing, and I thought this radio person tweeted that Kate was a "complete germ."
Makes more sense, wouldn't you say?
I think the sheeple should have another contest to pick the "best butt kisser." I've never seen so many brown nose suck-ups, especially among the ones who are just dying for their Bella Bars to arrive. Do they think that just because they are ordering something that Kate endorses that they will all become her best friends forever?
http://www.y102reading.com/pages/jackieandscott.html?article=10256613
Pictures here from this mornings radio show. The policeman IS NOT in uniform.
Admin, she didn't say WHY she needed to be driven there. She was all serious about it though. They were thanking "Jim Demsko" a number of times and Kate is the one who gave it away by saying "as I call him. . . Officer Jim."
She did herself no favors today.
Boobs headed south, halter no help, and the radio host is giving Kate the ol' Elevator Eyes.
Or maybe Kate knew she was going to get fired from TLC and she thought or Steve told her to think.
I might as well sue and act the way I really want and use Blankinship situation to my advantage.
I don't quite understand this interview - the kids don't have different schedules? Wow - my 2 certainly did. There should at least be 2 schedules, one for the twins and one for the tups. Even that is ridiculous why they all must keep to one schedule? Who is she, Ms. Hannigan? Sigh. They must stay in the room until all wake up? Pop in a video? Isn't that rude to the kids who are still sleeping? This is so very sad, the entire situation.
Looks like it's MB she's signing. Her dress looks ok from that angle but not sure if from a front view the 'girls' are more evident...yes, her hair is up (?) and I think she did her own make-up again.
I really want to know about the police escort- I would be writing a letter too! And phoning !
I "require" that my kids still do their 20 minutes of reading during the summer. Does that make me super special?

Nope, she said in an interview that she wrote "I Just Want You to Know" on her iPhone. I don't get why the radio host didn't ask about that. Why does NO ONE question her outrageous statements? How do you write, edit, submit to publisher a book that's been "written" on an iPhone?
Well there ya go we called it. She wants to write children's books. Therefore she's acting like she's interested in "reading."

I'm finding it kind of amusing that this news story is on the website of the radio station where Kate had her interview today. Taken from a page of Kate's Grifting 101 book.

Sad that people think others should help pay for what they can't afford and sad that this young woman thinks this is worthy of someone donating the money they work for to her cause. Admin, I could see an entire grifting thread being made from this.
"Can you imagine if every kid had their own schedule?"
******************
Yes, because my son's best friend's family does it with 9 kids. And they do it beautifully.
Ranging in ages from 3 to 18. All but 2 in school. Both parents work. The individual activities range from preschool to a wide variety of sports including year-round camps to musical instruments and marching band to 4-H and more. This while also running a family farm. They make it work. They coordinate shuttling between activities and practices, carpool, etc.
And in the many years that I've known this family, I have *NEVER* failed to see the parents and grandparents at every kid's activity. Never missed any of the games from elementary through varsity, never missed a band concert, never missed a 4-H judging.
And the parents are not frazzled, worn, cranky, or sour. Tired sometimes, yes. But they say when they decided to have this many children, they did it knowing it would be busy and they take it in stride. And the kids are wonderfully bright, well-rounded, delightful people.
It can be done. They want their kids to be both family-oriented but individuals. Kate is just too lazy to do it.
The way Jackie Hoffman is gushing over Kate is ridiculous. She called her a "gem" on Twitter. She doesn't even realize she is being used by Kate. Notice how nice Kate can be to people she meets at certain events or when she is a guest on TV or radio. She can put on the charm because she is desperately hoping these people will help her to get a job in TV or radio through their connections. If she saw Jackie out in public and didn't know who she was she wouldn't give her the time of day.
If you see Jackie's tweets from the past several months she is practically begging Kate to respond to her. Even one tweet right before this interview saying "see you Monday ??" as though she wasn't even sure she was going to show up.
They have no clue that Kate thinks one of her children having to wear glasses makes them less than perfect and yet she is suppose to relate to children involved with the special olympics??
After all these years, why are the locals now good enough for you Kate? You must really be desperate for attention.
The kids used to have different schedules- on the show anyhow! I remember various times they said Hannah, Cara and Collin were late sleepers and they were allowed to remain asleep until they were going somewhere. Hannah had migraines so was left alone. Cara just slept while the others played outside with Jon- no video required. Another time Kate 'twit-pic-ed' her paper plates of waffles I think and one was empty as Cara was sleeping in. And what about her sessions of fun with just the twins? And her two bus runs? Tups at friends? Cara at lax? Shopping with just M and C? Boys' chores?
I can see a schedule for meals that could be flexible- save and re-heat, and bedtime, school routine etc, but she is not really telling the truth.
She said they 'required' the new big house so the could 'disperse' and do what they wanted rather than cluster around her !

Hilarious, You're right, that could be an endless list. Kate , your dreams may come true!
RE: article on the bikini woman
The bikini woman is located near my spouse's work. She started doing this about a week or so ago. Spouse drove by her at lunch the first day she was out there and texted me in a rage, lol.
Apparently she thinks she is being enterprising - and idiots were giving her money! She also knew she would make it onto the news and would reap even more cash.
FWIW, most people panhandling for cash on street corners are not working because they make more standing there. They are straight up about it and tell it to people in spouse's workplace all the time. They don't care. They figure if you're dumb enough to give it to them, they aren't going to be dumb enough to refuse.

Sorry if it doesn't make sense.

You did a GREAT job! Thanks for taking one for the team.

Yep- sad but true. It's all about millionaire Kate's needs.
As Mr. T would say,"I pity the fool."
There's a pic on the radio station's website - taken from their FB page of Kate and 'officer Jim'. He was not in uniform, so whatever he supposedly did for her/them this morning was not 'official'.
There are a lot of photos of Kate at the station this morning at the station's FB page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rock-Hits-Y102/209552932785
Here's Kate yuck.

Perfect. And yes, the list goes on. NPD = NEVER ENOUGH. $75,000 per episode- Well what about $80,000 per episode, clothing, food provided during show, landscaping for the show, tuition, cars used in show, trips, etc.....
Kate is off her rocker and TLC allowed this to make money. The thought of gratitude is foreign to Kate. Nothing is EVER enough.
Here's a link to the radio's FB page.

However, while I maaaaybe understand her safety concerns, what I don't understand is why she didn't hire a car service to drop her off at the station and pick her up when she was done. Why did she need a cop to do this?
======================
Car service -- you pay for it.
Police escort -- FREE.

Berks I don't get it. Did she explain WHY she needed to spend your tax dollars on a police escort for something 10 minutes away? Was she laughing about this, was this funny?
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I am wondering if she hired him off duty, since RatClaws wasnt available to make a splashy scene for her. She does like to make an entrance.
Where I live, off duty police officers get a great deal of work as private security for one time things.
So the radio station felt the need to announce that 'security was tight'? What am i missing here? Why? How many people did Kate hire to take Stevie's place today? Was it to create an aura for herself or is she really that hated? An Amish gang wielding farm implements at her? Hard working folks taking a morning off work just to throw their garden produce at her? 2 bored 13 year olds squealing for an autograph while a dad waited in the car? Other than 'creating a panic in the streets' what did she HOPE was going to happen?
Kate, get help. Good God.
Interesting comments on radio's facebook page. It doesn't seem Kate's all that popular with the locals...

So why can't "Can Do" Kate drive herself to a radio station 15 miles away? She really is delusional regarding her self-importance.
Uck, glad it was radio, but look at her major watt smie for the camera. Klassic Kate. Hair up? Looked like her greasy runner's slick back pony to me.
And tips for an educational summer? She has nothing. How about a library visit? Oh,Officer Jim is not available?
Time to crawl back into the larger house 'required' so the kids could 'disperse'. Who talks like this?
Berks Neighbor said... 54
Admin, she didn't say WHY she needed to be driven there. She was all serious about it though. They were thanking "Jim Demsko" a number of times and Kate is the one who gave it away by saying "as I call him. . . Officer Jim."
She did herself no favors today.
----------------
Wow- she did "Officer Jim" no favors. Why can't "Can Do" Kate not drive herself 15 miles? This is pathetic at best. Kate- You are NOT that important- no one cares.
She's got the shrek donkey look-alike thing going again in that pic.
Looking forward to the new post on this latest pile of you-know-what.
Re Kate demanding freebies from Em Tanner, especially rush jobs and overnight delivery charges - I'm glad Em finally stopped providing such freebies, and only wish she had done so much sooner.
What Kate still doesn't realize is that she and Jon were just plain lucky in landing that TLC gig. It was a matter of fortunate timing, mixed with some conniving and underhanded planning (I firmly believe she conned her 2nd doctor into giving her those fertility treatments and then Jon into having sex when she wasn't supposed to). As soon as it was confirmed she was having a HOM pregnancy, the grifting plans went into action. At the time, Jon was on board - but probably because he was feeling desperate about how he would support a family of 10!
They weren't the first "family with multiples" to get a program, but they clicked the most with viewers, not in small part because Kate was 100% willing to sell out those kids' privacy in every respect. She allowed bright filming lights in their bedrooms, she allowed cameras present during bath time, changing time, and even potty training time. She gave TLC full freedom to exploit and expose every moment, no matter how private, of the sextuplets' lives.
Now the public has grown tired of families with multiples coming forward with hands held out - "please give us money. We had too many kids and can't support them, so won't you please donate?"
The Gosselin children are normal growing children - there is nothing particularly interesting or special about them. That is their saving grace, thank goodness. Not too many people are interested in watching a weekly show about 8 year olds dressed in matching clothing, doing nothing out of the ordinary. Even less want to watch their screechy, tanned hide mother as she blathers on about herself. No one cares Kate, except a few adolescent tweeters.
The humanizing force in the marriage - Jon - is long gone and will never return to his indentured servitude. All that's left is creepy purse boy, who's probably been skimming off the top of any profits Kate makes for years. Who knows, maybe Gina is 100% in on the scheme and that's why she hasn't divorced the scum.
Bottom line, Kate is entirely unlikable. She's clueless, rude, classless, and in the eyes of the entertainment world, worst of all - she's aging fast.
I knew it! Kate wrote her coupon cabin blog post from a suggestion I gave last week. I had suggested she make a twit-isode on taking her kids to the library to read. But, if she requires her children to read 20 minutes a day, where does she get the books? I can't image she buys them!
Layla
Thanks for the behind-the-scenes info - very interesting and revealing!
You are all way ahead of me on the Blankinship
drama. I figured it was still in the discovery stage, trying to get evidence for trial. It never occurred to me that it might have been settled out of court.

She downloads them from the internet and makes eight copies?
