All the important people live in New York and LA.
As a child of divorce, it HURT to see my mom and dad dating other people. I still cringe around my parents many years later when I see them pecking a kiss on their new partners. To see my mom dating someone on television would have made me absolutely horrified and so, so sad. I don't care what anyone says: those kids will suffer immensely if this ever comes to fruition. The kids need to have the final say in the matter.
I told heather actually they were but she said, reasonably so, they were glorified security guards. The scary fact is they are not that at all
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Doesn't it depend on the university? One four-year university here has its own police force, separate from the town/city police force. They are not glorified security guards. My alma mater, a small private university, only had security guards.
That tube top dress has had three 'showings' now. Hope she didn't wear it on her errands. Jamie is dumb to allow herself and kids to be used and abused this way- again. She always struck me as not too bright and a little rough around the edges. And the dressing like Kate was SO odd- hope SHE doesn't bring out a tube top dress too.

Yes, the brawl at the Jackson house and other items in the news- very strange indeed. I feel most sorry for the youngest child, Blanket.

But if she went to a local place she couldn't do her two favorite things: travel and be away from her children. That is the whole point of this dating show. It has nothing to do with finding a new husband.
People magazine has picked up the story...based on Eonline's story...really! http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20614366,00.html Kate will be doing her happy dance except.....there is also a poll. 80% would not watch!
Cruise yes absolutely. That's why I said it was Reasonable for heather to think that. I'm talking specifically about psu. You'd have to look up each a every school to find out their police policies. I'm sure a small liberal arts college wouldn't have a full operating police force with guns. But a huge university that is more like a city probably would and in psu's case does.
It is just so boring to think about her I am to sleep in seconds - nope not kidding - try it :-)
*********
Yes, but they say that the last thing you think about before you fall asleep is what you dream about. In order to have pleasant dreams, I'd want to distance myself from thinking kategosselinANYTHING!
LaLa@4....Her 15 minutes ARE up. Nothing will come of this. Like everything else..this too shall pass. She's aware that she's 'OVER'...this is all she has left. to try and create buzz for herself. Nobody's buying into it. It's just that she's going away kicking and screaming. Kates hanging by a thread...she must know that. I'd hate to think she's that stupid...
Thanks so much. I will give Glycine a try. I really appreciate all of your tips and sharing your stories- it's a horrible problem. I find many drs don't take it seriously. Sorry about your sleep apnea...

I thought I had read that Paterno only reported to his superiors at Penn State.
Since he did report to the head of Campus Police, he fulfilled his legal obligation to report. My question now: Is the Campus Police Department culpable?
"Former "Jon & Kate Plus 8" star Kate Gosselin is shopping around a dating reality show in which she would be ultimate prize, E! News reports.
We can envision the casting notice: "SWF seeking SWM for fun times — ballroom dancing, reality show taping, national mockery. You must be financially secure, enjoy routine emasculation and have a high tolerance for trips to the orthodontist. Pet peeves: Ed Hardy T-shirts, men capable of independent thought."
"She finds it hard to meet men in her day-to-day life, and so a dating show will give her exactly the help she needs," a source tells E! (Because online dating shows have such a stellar track record. Just look at Trista and Ryan Sutter and ... and ... ) "She is willing to travel around the country in order to meet Mr. Right."
I took the bait and clicked, this is a word for word quote from a Philly paper... (hometown love, eh?)
Kate Gosselin Is Back. And she’s dating. And she’s planning on doing that on television, so you’re probably going to want to change the channel. [Us Weekly]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
I am as far as you can get from a Hollywood producer, so unless she has a network lined up, (and its doubtful that TLC will touch her again after the 6 years of hell she put them through...) Just having an idea for a show doesn't guarantee it will happen.
For instance, I have an idea for a show in which I marry Hugh Jackman, George Clooney and The Rock. Ain't gonna happen... (booo!)
I hit publish too soon when I posted about SCHMOOPY being from Seinfeld. I meant to say to AntieAnn that her kids may well have been using it for a while but that's where I know it from.

That's really funny, spot on. BTW I love the film SWF, really creepy- so is the book it's base on.
I just went to my facebook where I "like" Entertainment Tonight and they are asking if Kate having a dating show is a good idea. There are 169 comments so far and they are not positive!
Also, I think Kate was on that counter minutes after Jamie because she wasn't cleaning it right. Can't you just hear her-"That's not how you do it-JUST GET DOWN! I WILL DO IT MYSELF!"

For the Seinfeld fans who'd like a memory lane walk, here's the 'schmoopy' clip from the show. I still watch the show several times a week!

That's probably where they got it. They're big Seinfeld fans, as am I. We use the word around here when someone "whines like a little girl" as one of them likes to say.
Jane- thanks for the link. Great show, wish they were still making it.
Realitytvkids.com (Administrator) said... 6 Check it's relevant because people think police weren't involved and never called. I told heather actually they were but she said, reasonably so, they were glorified security guards. The scary fact is they are not that at all. I think it just slightly mitigates things to know that Paterno did go to police @@@@@@@ Except he didnt go to the police in the Feb 2001 incident. :( The police investigated an incident that was reported by a boys mother in 1998
The discussion about the PSU campus police force is interesting. I am less concerned about whether they are a "real" police force authorized to carry guns and arrest people, and more concerned about who employs these officers. Do they work for the city/state, or are they employees of the university? If they are employed by the university, then they would be subject to the same institutional pressures that others felt in trying to protect the university at any cost. That would be a terrible conflict of interest.
Heather said: I have to say it again, I will never understand how you can witness the rape of a child and not call the police immediately. Isn't a personal code of morality more valuable than any amount of money? Isn't protecting a child the highest good? ------------------------- Interesting point. The reason I'm still commenting about Kate is because I think she's a terrible mother, and I feel badly for the children. I wish there were some way they could live a happy life away from their narcisstic mother.
It is a sort of disconnect to see on the same blog, people finding loopholes for why Joe Paterno didn't do much of anything to protect innocent children.
As to McQueary, I have read that although an adult at the time he witnessed the shower incident, he was apparently very immature. He behaved more like a child, and didn't know the right thing to do, so he asked his dad. (I think it's sad a grown man was too scared to step in and put an immediate stop to the situation and call 911. I can only imagine what despair must have run through that poor boy's mind, maybe thinking "here is someone who will save me" and then the guy just leaves.) Then his dad advised him to talk to Paterno. The story from the Paterno camp was that McQueary was somehow vague about what happened in the shower, and something of a sexual nature occurred but the exact "what" was not discussed or described. Thus, Paterno didn't know exactly what happened and so when he reported it to the campus police, he was vague as well. (My question is: Why not question McQueary closely - ask him, "Exactly what did you see or think you saw?" "What do you mean, something of a sexual nature? Can you be more specific?" The way I see it, Paterno didn't want to hear anything too specific. He was afraid to ask detailed questions, because he was afraid of what he might hear.
Well, Kate is way too late. Her dating show, concept, has been taken, and will be on TV in september. I was watching Judge Judy and a commercial came on, promoting a new TV show for fall. The show is called: 3, the show consists of 3, 25-30ish girls, who go traveling around the country and world, trying things, attending events, and looking for love and dating. Sound familiar? They show the 3 girls they are young and pretty. Kate is pushing 40, looks 50, still bitchy, whiny, and complains, still thinks she is above everyone, and thinks she special. Which show would you watch, guys/men? Would want a pushing 40 year old/mother of 8 kids, who think her shit stinks, or 3 pretty young girls who like to have fun and have no attachments?
Geez, Kate, jon has found lot of GF's, even had relationships with some and is having a good relationship with current one. Geez, it's even been reported that Octomom has a BF, and she has 14 kids. Octomom is truely a single mom of 14. Kate is a divorced mom of 8. What's your problem Kate?
Sweet I don't think anyone is trying to find a loophole for Paterno. Just clarifying and discussing the facts of all this complicated onion. The only thing I don't like is the over simplification of it. I know it's easier to say person A didn't do this end of story but it's not that easy this time. This has to be one of the most multi layered and complicated set of facts to ever come out of a college scandal.

In the comments section, the woman who wrote that (Vicki Hyman) said she if she had to recap Kate's dating show she'd "rather find less despicable work, say as a colonic technician."
The kids couldn't get flour on the counters but Kate and Jamie can stand on them in bare feet? Good luck to with the dating show. Having 8 kids is the least of her problems. No sane man would want that miserable bitch even if she had no children
I would say that all this buzz about a dating show was Jaimes doing. Remember, NYC, Jaime can get very wild, would do anything, and not care how it looks. Well, Jaime, hats off to you, you got the media buzzing about a rumor dating show and tryin to whip up support to the network by getting their attention to turn rumor into reality. But your too late, as I posted above, there is a show coming on on CBS, in fall of the same dating concept as Kates.:):):)
OK, got the premier of the 3 girls go traveling and dating looking for love show(Kate's concept show, new idea) it will be on July 26th at 10/9c on CBS. It's called: 3. Stupid name by the way: I think: Looking for Adventure & Love, would be a better title. But then I'm not gonna watch it either. :)
Foxnews.com has the story about Kate shopping her dating show around. They have a poll after the story asking readers if they'd watch Kate's dating show. 92% said "no they would not watch"
As for the PSU case,I am an alumni and so is my daughter. We are devastated by all of this and we hurt for the boys that were abused. It's something no child should have to endure. About the case itself, and especially as it relates to Paterno: there are a lot of assumptions, inuendos, falsehoods, and lies swirling out there. I believe that before all of this is over, we are going to find out more (whether good or bad) during the court cases of Shultz and Curley. I suspect this case will go a lot further than just at Penn State -- there's the Second Mile organization, the missing State College DA Gricar, even the present PA Governor -- all could have some culpability in this tragedy...
Kate Gosselin's New Reality TV Show Has Disaster Written All Over It
"Oh, for the love of Pete. In what has to be the most ridiculous piece of celeb mom news we've heard in a while -- Kate Gosselin is trying to find a network to air a new reality TV dating show that she's planning on starring in. And while there aren't too many details as to how this disaster of a show will play out, it sounds like it will be centered around Kate traveling around the country looking for a man. (It's ok to laugh out loud.)
And while sources claim 37-year-old Kate is at a point in her life where she's ready to find true love and start over -- we're not stupid, and we all know what's really going on here.
In a nutshell, Kate is totally over being a coupon blogger and can't stand the fact that her days in the spotlight are over for good. She misses the cameras (and probably the cameramen too). She misses the paparazzi following her every move (because she's one of the few "celebs" who loves being plastered all over the front of the tabloids). And she misses the perks that go along with being a fairly famous reality TV star (like being recognized at the grocery store and getting into theme parks for free).
It's almost like Kate has no idea what to do with herself since her TLC show was cancelled, and now she's pulling out all the stops to regain her D-list status as quickly as possible so she can stop living like the rest of us "regular" folk.
But honestly, I'm not sure the world can handle another Kate Gosselin reality show -- and I'm not sure she will get the warm welcome she's probably expecting if this thing does make it on the air. (Real life isn't all that bad, Kate. Just give it a little bit longer and I promise you'll get used to being ordinary like the rest of us.)"
Sweet I don't think anyone is trying to find a loophole for Paterno. Just clarifying and discussing the facts of all this complicated onion. The only thing I don't like is the over simplification of it. I know it's easier to say person A didn't do this end of story but it's not that easy this time. This has to be one of the most multi layered and complicated set of facts to ever come out of a college scandal. ____
That's what bothers me. It *is/was* simple. Child/children hurt, no one cares enough to protect them. People are caring more about who knows what, who saw what, who did it first, what if he finds out?
Pathetic excuses. Indefensible excuses. The FALLOUT is what has become complicated.

************************************************
"She would be ultimate prize"???
What kind of cruel, hellish game show would that be?
Kate is so damn predatory.
She thinks that she will be more successful at "hunting down a man" if she travels the country, armed with a film crew?
Is she high? Who thinks of sh*t like that?
Only 6 - 10 sheeple find that stupid idea entertaining. The rest of the world would rather shove a fork into their eyes.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
P.S. Kate will do anything to be back on t.v. and away from her kids.
tate said... 164 And I love how she just tweeted that she wouldn't want to do Millionaire Matchmaker with Patti Stanger ---------------------------------
Patty Stanger would rip her a new one. Kate wants people who gush over her-not to be told the truth. Plus she wouldn't be the 'stah' on that show. She wants a show of her own.
Her knives are labeled?! I think this is all I can stand today, Schmoopie.
And who makes doctor appointments and says they're doing errands with company in the house. Jamie, honey, you are not company, you are unpaid help. Or, where have you been all year, the gf started turning her kids into bff's, she must be so happy you crawled back.
Child hurt you're supposed to help. Then all those janitors who knew are equally responsible following that mantra. And yet so many people seem to be giving them a free pass because they were just low on the totem poll janitorial staff. For those reason and many more IMO this is insanely complicated. But I understand your view heather.
Kate has tweeted 'cute' things said by Aaden, Joely, and Collin, (asking her if her run was good, wanting to see Eiffel Tower, not 'disurving' the chickens) and mentioned the talented twins. I wonder why she hasn't tweeted the brilliance of the little girls of late?
Little Paige is so much in love, and such a butt-kisser. It's actually scary to think that there are young gals (and old women) who are incapable of wiping away that hero worship to be able to think rationally. If Paige ever met Kate, she'd fall to the floor and they'd have to give her oxygen...
paige_kate8fan @swesterling_ @Kateplusmy8 if I've learned one thing about Kate it's to never doubt her!
Everyone thinks that Kate thinks her time is coming to an end and she's getting desperate. I don't think she CAN think that way with her NPD. Think about it....she made everyone nuts on the RV trip but she still "did not get it" that she was the cause of all the discourse and Ashley being at the end of her rope. We know she doesn't get it because her response at the end of the trip was "everyone eventually leaves me" NOT "I eventually drive everyone away". She absolutely will NOT believe that there isn't a show out there...she just has to present the right one. Everyone loves her!! It's only that people disagree with her and we all know they are the "vile haters who are that way because the are so jellus"...they don't hate me because of ME, they hate me because they are so jealous of my wonderful ness". Kate absolutely!! Believes she will be on tv again. She needs help.
xxxx @Kateplusmy8 Was your friend doing it wrong so you did it the right way??
Kate GosselinVerified@Kateplusmy8 @MarissaleighLee lol no. My friend was too short to reach the top middle :)
Yeah, right. She has posted 2 pictures of Jamie and she still keeps referring to her as her "friend", when everyone knows it's Jamie. She can't even give Jamie any recognition whatsoever. She just wants to make sure everyone knows she has a "friend".
She tried Twisted Kate and it was scrapped before it even hit the air. Wouldn't you think that any network would pick up on that and not even want to risk any kind of association with Kate, knowing right away that it was going to be a disaster?
I think it's hysterical that Kate created a show for Kate, starring Kate, with Kate traveling the country and Kate making a lot of money and thinking that someone will air that junk. The distubing thing is that her fans already think it's a done deal. They are wetting their pants on twitter. Whats gonna happen when nothing comes of this latest brain storm of hers...
A Pink Straight Jacket For Kate said... 47 __________
My favorite line. 'She's WILLING to travel around the country to meet Mr Right.'
Should actually read. 'She wants to get away from those damn kids and be famous again. For that she will do anything. Even date men who are so far beneath her, that without television cameras, she wouldn't given them water if they were literally dying of thirst.'
How did Kate get into the top cupboards without a ladder? Why, riding on Steve's shoulders, of course. How did she clean gutters, dust the ceiling fans, wash tall windows? She didn't. She waited until she had company for dinner.
Wowser...I enjoy the movie "Overboard". It is a sweet watch -- over and over. Another line, from Katherine Helmund..."If you have a baby, you can't be the baby." "I have a falsetto child?" makes me laugh every time.
Here's what I don't understand. Kate HAS to know that people don't like her. She HAS to have read these articles about a dating show. Carrie Ann said that Kate has no self-awareness. Is her lack of self-awareness really that bad that she has no idea that she's a laughingstock? Is she really that stupid, or is there some brain mis-firing that just doesn't allow her to see it?
Admin, For the past several months I have written some very respectful within the rules posts that have gone unpublished. For that reason and the general feeling that I am sick of Kate, I am leaving this blog. I wanted you to know in case the failure to post was inadvertent, and you could lose other posters as well.
KAT-Kate's address was first listed as Beverly Hills when she ran the LV marathon. Speculation at the time was that her agent, Julie Carson May, who lives in CA signed her up for the marathon and used her own address.
Seems like a lot of the liability for Sandusky will rest with the board that ignored the information about witnessed abuse.They were directly responsible for providing a steady stream of victims to that monster. Sandusky didn't step down until 2010.
Since much of their funding and the significant in-kind contribution of the sports facilities came from Penn State, who also had been informed of the abuse, they will probably have additional liability.
Thanks so much. I will give Glycine a try. I really appreciate all of your tips and sharing your stories- it's a horrible problem. I find many drs don't take it seriously. Sorry about your sleep apnea... __________ Actually, the problem with taking sleep apnea isn't my doctors--it is the insurance company that, for some unknown reason, will only cover 14 sleeping medication per month. Even with the copay, it is still several hundred dollars to get a month's supply. So, I cut them in half. Nice, huh?
On the Penn State tragedy -- I can sort of understand where McQuery was coming from. It's all about power. He was a Teaching Assistant at the time. I've been a TA. A University, especially one like Penn State, literally holds the power of life and death over TAs. At least, as far as their livelihoods and careers go. Sandusky was wealthy, powerful, and connected. Maybe he didn't know exactly what he saw. Maybe he wasn't sure. He did what he thought was the right thing and took it to his superior. His superior told him that he would handle it. Did he have any reason to doubt his superior? Did he ask later what was being done? We don't know. As I said, I can understand his dilemma. Agree with what he did? No. Understand? Yes.
I'm loving the Schmoopy label for KK! Also, "Hang On Schmoopy", although as a Buckeye, I probably should object ("Hang On Sloopy" is the official rock and roll song of Ohio). Schmoopy just suits KK down to the ground.
Have ANY of the dating shows produced a successful, long-lasting relationship, other than the Sutters? Only a man who's lived in a cave the past 7 years would consider dating KK. I can't see her agreeing to a dating show, either. On one of the J&K episodes she declared "We aren't demonstrative people". Well, she sure as heck isn't, except as far as herself is concerned. She's never demonstrated any feeling or consideration for anyone other than herself. You could almost literally see her cringe every time Jon touched her. His life must have been hell, in more ways than one.
XXXXX @CBSeyeCASTING @kateplusmy8 Is Kate's dating show a go 4sure?
CBSeyeCASTING @XXXXXX @kateplusmy8 seems to be -- http://t.co/o12lQMEq (is anything really 4sure in this biz? ha!) &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
"The 37-year-old divorcee and mother of eight has signed on to shoot a dating show, E! News reports. The show has yet to be picked up by a network." ~~ Does this mean she found a production company to film it but she cant sell it yet? Or do we think it is already sold and the network is just too ashamed to admit it yet?
I dont understand the above tweet - who exactly replied that 'it seems to be' a go? who said that?
I think it is just laughable that she perceives herself as all that. She might look in the mirror and think that she looks pretty good for age 50 (horrible for age 37) but she is no prize, no package, no reward. She is nothing but a heavy smelly albatross around any man's neck.
We will never ever be rid of her. She is just biding her time until her twins are of legal age so she can set them up in a sex tape and start selling it. Kate Gosselin makes me ashamed of other Americans who buy into her pompous psychosis.
HspncElvis @HspncElvis @Paige_Kate8fan @Kateplusmy8 Yea, when does it start/Air? I can say, hey, I met her. =D _____________________________
This whole Kate and a dating show is so deja vu. It was a year ago that the "haters" were saying Kate's show was done and the fans refused to believe it. Now the fans are believing Kate's getting a dating show. It's weird.
KAT said... 74 Am I missing something...doesn't this imaginary show have to be picked up by a network first? Thats a big big maybe.. ____________________________________________
Isn't it funny not ONE fan of Kate's has asked that question?
I see y'all having a nice discussion about Joe Paterno and the sanctions against Penn State. I admit I havent followed the legalities of who knew what when and where, but I have a meager opinion on the sanctions.
If they won all these games using Jerry Sandusky's football skills, all the while he was committing criminal acts, that is pretty sad. However, if 'they' KNEW he was committing criminal acts, covered for him, continued to feed with more little boys so that he would stay happy and keep winning games for them, then the whole program needs sanctions, and sanctions that should touch the highest level of the school. The games won, were won on the souls of the young boys that were sacrificed in order to keep a coach happy and functioning well within the scope of his coaching duties. It is no different that a Little League team winning games with overage players. The games were won illegally, because Sandusky never should have been coaching and likely 'some' knew it.
With that grandiose opinion stated, I am not sure we will ever know who exactly said what and when. No one will ever talk, the ones that are still alive are getting elderly and just want themselves, their families, their pensions and bank accounts left alone.
I muat say that I am so glad to see Kate being supportive of Mady's interests. Mady plays music, acts, hand sews, and now it's sewing lessons ... I'm pleased for her.
I am so jellus of Kate. I had no idea that she was besties with Amy Roloff! Seriously, Jamie, GF, consider yourself punked. Notice how Amy..err Jamie looks decidedly masculine in her photo and Kate is slutty-Barbie-mini-skirted -tube-topped perfection in hers? They're both fame whoring now and using each other in the process. Where are the kids during this stunt? I hope to hell not out by the pool unattended by an adult. Scary scary juvenile stunt.
Only 6 - 10 sheeple find that stupid idea entertaining. The rest of the world would rather shove a fork into their eyes. ====
lol. The thing is, it's not going to bother Kate one bit what the HUGE MAJORITY of people are saying about her. She's going to be a farting bubble machine for weeks over the attention she's getting over this. Most people would be so humiliated they'd crawl away and change their name but you can bet Kate will be on cloud 9.
I'm waiting for a tweet from her - that should be coming along any minute now - that reminds everyone she's trending again.
ok I just went back and re read what I posted. Before anyone gets upset, let me clarify that I didnt mean that anyone at Penn was LITERALLY funneling boys directly to him; just that they knew where he was getting his victims and did not want to shut his supply down, because it was keeping him happy, keeping him winning games, and the wins were bringing in good money.
IF that is what happened. But like I said, it all depends on who knew what and when they knew it; and that is likely to go the grave with most of these men.
@dowd24 it was grease from cooking so needed to be scrubbed... 28 minutes ago
+++++++++++ Why is it that when her "friends" come over to visit, she puts them to work? With heavy projects? With friends like her, who needs enemies, and we can see at least one reason why she has so few.
Okay folks, this is long and i know most of you dont care so scroll on by if you want. Hope this clears some things up and offers a different perspective about the PSU happenings...

What I'm saying is in a perfect world when Paterno went to his boss, had his boss done something about it, this would have been at most a 2-week scandal, Sandusky would have been promptly thrown in jail and Paterno would be the hero. @@@@@@@@@@
The only problem with this scenario is that even if authorities were notified in the Feb. 2001 incident, it doesn't mean anything would have happened. People aren't thinking about that. Say Paterno or Schultz or whoever went to the police, If McQueary hadn't been willing to come forward as a witness, or if they were unable to find the boy to get his testimony, nothing would have happened to Sandusky. Then what? Who would everyone be blaming now?
To this day, the boy in the shower witnessed by McQueary in Feb 2001 has never been identified. He has not come forward. Sandusky hasn't even been found guilty of that particular offense because no victim=no crime. I know it's a tough pill to swallow, but there you are.
Of all the charges and victims you hear about, there are only two that even the tiniest bit of knowledge was had by the university administration. The first was the 1998 incident, of which there were no witnesses. This was reported by the a boy's mother, immediately investigated by PSU Campus Police, then Children and Youth Services, AND the Department of Public Welfare. There was no evidence of criminal activity and the Centre County DA had no choice but to not move forward.
The PSU administration was on the periphery of this. Paterno seemed to be less informed than his superiors in regards to this incident. There was no cover-up here. Sandusky admitted to using the showers with the boy and that he exhibited poor judgement in doing so. Now before anyone gets in a tizzy about this, you have to remember that in this type of athletic environment, boys shower together in group showers (girls too for that matter). This is true from the pros on down to youth camps. Now I will concede that its a bit unusual for a grown man and a young boy to be in shower facility, but it is a pretty big rush to judgement that the man is in any way doing something sexually inappropriate. And at the time, there was nothing to indicate anything of a sexual nature had transpired. So, no criminal charges. (cont'd)
The Feb. 2001 incident was the doozy, this was the one in which McQueary heard strange sounds and momentarily saw something that, well, he himself has yet to even describe it the same way twice, but we all know it looked pretty bad to him. Aside from the obvious fact that I pointed out above, which is that even if law enforcement was immediately notified, that is no guarantee that a strong case would have been built to arrest, try and convict Sandusky.
Also, try to frame this situation like this: We have the luxury of knowing, today in July 2012, a lot of things that were unknown in 2001. We have several pieces of different people's testimony and different facts and bits of knowledge about things for the last 11 years. With these many pieces we can put together a fairly accurate picture of what was going on with Sandusky. But any one person back in 2001 didn't have all those pieces in order to see the big picture. You can't easily say that any one person knew that Sandusky was engaging in serial rape. You just can't. Well, YOU can, because you see all the pieces remember?
While McQueary is pretty clear in his testimony to the Grand Jury and at Sandusky's trial there is (and this is the important part) no indication of exactly how he presented the situation to Paterno and his superiors. One of the quotes specifically says he didn't provide Paterno with "a lot of detail" so how are we really to know what Paterno was told? But we'll never really know because Paterno is no longer able to testify.
About the "fact" that Curley came from a meeting in which Paterno must have urged him to to go to authorities, that is pure assumption on the Freeh report. Go read the record, it's conjecture.
Earlier I mentioned how the BOT (Board of Trustees) seemed to have been in the dark and shouldn't be held accountable, but I've been reading a lot today that is making me rethink that. In looking back over the past nine months or so there has been a definite power struggle between the administration and the BOT. And I didnt notice it at my first read of the Freeh Report, but the BOT comes out of this looking like the stupid kid brother. (Which isquite negligent, at best, BTW). But after I started going through it again, keeping in mind the investigation was commissioned by the BOT, it basically slams the Administration, using a lot of conjecture and leaps and quote mining in its summaries.
Basically, eyebrows have been raised as to the impartiality of this document.
Where are the kids during this stunt? I hope to hell not out by the pool unattended by an adult. Scary scary juvenile stunt.
)))) Where else? In the basement watching videos (of the show), I'd bet. Since they were little toddlers, they have always been relegated to the basement to play and watch TV. Doesn't she have a huge family room where they could hang out? Yeah, of course she does. But that would be too loud, too messy, and too close to her "space" in the kitchen.
I'm so excited! My Mady has taken an interest in sewing! Checking in to sewing (machine) classes together! She can hand sew so moving on..:) 52 minutes ago ----- I guess I see this differently than some...Kate's probably yelling at the kids...money is running out...so now we have to make all your clothes! (of course, not Kate's clothes or the girl's clothes..maybe just for the icky boys.)
@SandieBellz @bellabars and now you must order the Athena bar! Omg that Bella bar makes me screech! ;) 59 minutes ago ------
What is Kate DOING with a snack bar that would make her 'screech"?
Why doesn't Jon put his foot down about Kate posting pics and info about the kids? Geez
Dwindle said... 83 ok I just went back and re read what I posted. Before anyone gets upset, let me clarify that I didnt mean that anyone at Penn was LITERALLY funneling boys directly to him; just that they knew where he was getting his victims and did not want to shut his supply down, because it was keeping him happy, keeping him winning games, and the wins were bringing in good money. _____________ Dwindle--They were also providing the showers and locker rooms where the abuse ocurred. Your original post said what I've been trying to say very well.
fidosmommy said... 79 I muat say that I am so glad to see Kate being supportive of Mady's interests. Mady plays music, acts, hand sews, and now it's sewing lessons ... I'm pleased for her. _________
Ah yes but what about Cara and her interest and the little kids interest?
Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8 RT @Paige_Kate8fan @Kateplusmy8 ahh!u having a dating show would b so fun 2 watch!Been waiting 4 this2happen for 3 yrs!go get em! AW,DIEHARD __________ Hahahaha it's not going to happen Pagie.
If it didn't happen 3yrs ago it's not going to happen now.
Sandusky retired from coaching in 1998. It has been reported that Paterno was angry that Sandusky was spending more & more time with The Second Mile. He told Sandusky that he would not succeed him (Paterno) when he retired (many alumni think that Paterno was grooming his son, Jay, to be named coach). He also said that if Sandusky needed to make a choice: The Second Mile or PSU football. Sandusky chose The Second Mile. Paterno had nothing to do with Sandusky's retirement package -- that was up to Spanier, Curley and perhaps the Trustees.
The games/wins that the NCAA took away from Penn State were not any that Sandusky coached. Most of us believe that the NCAA took away these wins to punish Paterno and get his name off of their record books...
What I don't hear a lot of is what Paterno SHOULD have done. The only thing I can think of that would completely make sure it was crystal clear he didn't support any of this is that, against the authority of his bosses, Spanier, the trustees and everyone else involved, call his own press conference and announce that he heard someone who thinks he may or may not have seen something or other.
I'm not being flippant I think this is the only thing he could have done to remove himself from all of this. Would most people do this? I really am not sure I believe that.
because it was keeping him happy, keeping him winning games, and the wins were bringing in good money.
&&&
He actually had nothing to do with coaching almost as soon as they found out. He hasn't coached a single game since 1999 or been involved whatsoever with the team. He was allowed to watch the games.
It was just a cover up. It really didn't have much to do with the wins. The team has actually pretty much stunk for most of the past 10 years.
Oh also I can't imagine any legal advisor who wouldn't say back in the day, wait a minute Paterno, you want to make a public statement that you may or may not have heard that someone saw something that may or may not be doing something with boys that could have been some kind of sexual abuse. Um, you're going to get sued for libel are you crazy???! You should just tell the police, ok? To which Paterno would have said oh ok I did tell the police then, the chief of police actually.
See why I think this whole thing is quite complicated. Hindsight is 20/20. Now, we know he should have called the press conference.
DMasy: one of my favorites too...actually they could do a remake of that movie with Kate....she's from Wyomissing PA..she could play the part of Annie goolahy from DogPatch over in Goober!
Realitytvkids.com (Administrator) said... 93 Does anyone else find it rather disjointed that Paterno's wins were taken away, but not all the wins that Sandusky helped coach?
This doesn't make sense to me. Surely if Paterno's wins get taken away so should Sanduksy's, the person who actually abused the kids. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Now, see... that's what I am sayin'. THAT sanction, well explained in just those terms, would have had a HUGE impact on future sports programs! Why is it no one ever consults this blog on these things? Between us, we know everything. (Except how to make Acute Gosselin Dyspepsia go away permanently... although we are working on it...)
Dwindle and by the way everyone I am loving hearing everyone's thoughts. Everyone has such introspection and it's obvious how much everyone truly case about doing the right thing, even at the end of the day we can't agree on what that is.
Dwindle does your opinion change about sanctioning the team itself now knowing Sandusky hasn't coached a single football team since it was first found out he was doing this to little boys? He was immediately ousted.
I feel like it's punishing the wrong person. Someone I know had what I think is a great analogy. Say you're sexually harassed at work and you report it to your boss, who then does nothing. Your boss should be fired. This is like not only firing your boss, but also firing you the reporter, as well as all of your co workers who not only had nothing to do with it but didn't even know about it.
IIRC, Victim 1's charges were from 1998. McQ witnessed the rape just a few years ago. There was already a pattern of extremely inappropriate behavior that was sexual in nature. If McQ was vague, and if this was the first incident of this nature, I think Paterno would have been more shocked and inquisitive. He was dismissive because it was nothing new.
There is so much to this scandal - ultimately, all that matters is that nobody that could help these boys did. Someone brought up the thoughts of the boy McQ saw Sandusky raping in the shower. That poor boy SAW McQ looking at them and then left =( And how many other victims are out there ? The Second Mile provide hundreds of vulnerable boys for Sandusky to prey upon, we will never know just how many lives Sandusky ruined.
I have a teenage son that plays sports - the thought of him taking a shower with his coach , not to mention having the coach "tickle " him makes my stomach turn.

Thank you for clarifying. Like I said, I am paying very little attention to the timeline and the legalities. And it shows, doesnt it? :)
AS, I said earlier: this is all Jaime doing, she is the source. Kate's too late, CBS is putting a show with same concept as Kate's rumored show on this thursday.
So, Jaime & kate have again played the media. Put a buzz out there, to make a thing out of a non-existed show, that maybe has a name of: The Amazing Kate, there is no network who has committed to this show. Most of the articles stem from one article, and most say, she is shopping around a show. It's not a done deal, by any sort. And her fans are thinking that it is a done deal, Milo, is probably sitting there laughing, cause she knows it's a rumor. She said it herself. Kate got her publicity. Kate got none with CC or the marathon, or the cruise, or taking a stab at Tony and Anderson, hoping Anderson would have her on his show. The man is not stupid, he saw right through her. The other talk shows are either ignoring her or not interested in her.
K8 that brings up another point, and that is the inaccurate belief that McQueary did nothing when he saw a kid being raped. The truth is McQueary stated that "“I didn’t just turn and run. I made sure it stopped." I think it's more accurate to say no one knows what McQueary did, but he testified that he made sure it was stopped, whether or not you believe that.
I think it's interesting that he also said this about when he and Paterno had a meeting with the police to report it: "In my mind, Mr. Schultz represented the police, without a doubt. I thought he was very much like a district attorney for the university."
There is not a lot I believe about all of this but I actually do believe him on that one just because as a student I also believed that the chief of police WAS the police and like a DA. I felt that way too. Again, I'm not defending anyone, I'm just saying, I understand the frustration when mistruths become truths. I have no problem with the belief that these guys are all scum of the earth, as long as it's based on accuracies. It is not true McQueary did nothing and it's not true that no one told the police.
It is pretty clear that Paterno's inaction contributed directly to the abuse of additional victims. In 2001 Paterno told McQueary, "You did what you had to do. It's my job now to figure out what we want to do." Paterno also insisted that the Second Mile leadership not report Sandusky, which also contributed to the ongoing supply of victims.
From the article: ""What's striking about 1998 is nobody even spoke to Sandusky ... including the coach [Paterno] who was steps away from [Sandusky's] office," Freeh said. No one informed other staff not to let Sandusky bring youth into the shower either.
Sandusky made plans to retire in 1999 and move on to an outreach program, despite Paterno and Curley offering him positions at Penn State athletics. The report notes Sandusky retired with the "unusual lump sum payment of $168,000" and access to university recreational facilities.
Sandusky would continue to assault children over the next two years on Penn State's campus and at a team hotel. McQueary witnessed an assault in February 2001 and immediately reported it to Paterno. According to the report, Paterno told McQueary, "You did what you had to do. It's my job now to figure out what we want to do."
Spanier, Curley, Schultz and Paterno then spent the next month debating what they would do and whether to report Sandusky to authorities. During this same period, Curley said he met with executive director of the Second Mile and "shared the information we had with him." The Second Mile leadership concludes the matter was a "non‐incident." Eventually, they decided not to report Sandusky at the insistence of Paterno."
Sounds like this writer has Kate's number...looks like all the articles looking for feedback are very HIGH for NOT tuning in. She is willing. I can only imagine the severe arm-twisting involved in getting Gosselin to arrive at such a willing mental state.
People magazine is conducting an online survey that asks readers whether they are interested in watching the equivalent of “Kate Plus 8” meets “Blind Date.” So far, 79 percent say no.
I’d suggest that Celebritology readers share comments about what they think but: a) I pretty much already know what they think, and b) I suspect that snarky comments already are being posted, no invitation necessary.
Kate has guests in her home. Why is she twatting up a storm? Is Jaimie getting Kate's kids ready for bed for her? Oh, wait...that's the twins' job. Still, it's rude.
I'm kind of surprised a magazine like People who surely know a show is not a show until a network picks it up would run with this story like it's the real deal. They might as well do a story about the hundreds of celebrities who are pitching various shows that will never see the light of day, but they don't do that because a show that never gets off the ground is no story at all.
And her fans are thinking that it is a done deal, Milo, is probably sitting there laughing, cause she knows it's a rumor.
+++++++++++++
If you look at the timeline, Milo tweeted her "rumor tweet" AFTER the article appeared on E! I don't believe that she had anything to do with E! picking up that story.
These tabs are really panning her (and that's putting it kindly)...
"Here’s the Problem: Guys. GUYS!!! Remember Kate Gosselin? The woman who verbally abused her husband even though he gave her 8 children with adorable Asian features worth watching TLC for? To recap – they got divorced, their TV show was cancelled, her husband went into an Ed Hardy isolation chamber and came out a Michael Lohan-loving douchebag and she got a full body lift and went to paparazzis’ houses in the middle of the night and violently shook them awake until they agreed to photograph her on a beach. Remember? Well, anyway, she’s back. E! Online announced that she’s trying to find love through a reality competition show, because, duh, this woman can’t wipe her butt unless there’s a camera there to capture it. Guys – WE CAME BACK JUST IN TIME!!!
Actual Problem: The show is just a development (probably only in Kate’s mind). What if it doesn’t get picked up? What if it doesn’t become a long running series where Kate hands out thorny stems to men whose lives she wants to ruin? What if she never gets remarried and the rest of the planet is denied the possibility of a Kate Gosselin wedding special?! Someone please buy this show. I’ll contribute to the kickstarter."
I hate what's happened to Penn State, for the alumni, its students, faculty. It seems grossly unfair to punish all for the sins of a few, but sometimes that's the only way the wicked learn a lesson. :( Our whole society is messed up; we pay pro athletes and actors astronomical salaries, while starving our academia, social workers, et al. We pay our high school and college football coaches MORE than our educators...is that twisted or what!
I read the Sandusky report (well, as much as I could stomach), and I hope that Spanier, Schultz, Curley and McQueary are held accountable--their indifference and turning a blind eye enabled Sandusky's continued abuse. Some say, oh, McQueary was such a young man, blah blah...he was a GRAD student at the time...and why would it matter how old he was when he witnessed the abuse anyway? My youngest kids are 13, and I hope that if they saw a kid being abused, they would tell ME or call 911. You just don't leave the building. damn.
I don't know how much Paterno knew, but we know that Spanier, Schultz, and Curley knew enough and early enough, that they should have done something about it. Well, they did, sort of. They protected their football program. I guess a bunch of kids from the wrong side of the tracks are just collateral damage.
I remember SMU getting the death penalty in the mid 80's, and to this day their program has still not recovered. It might take a decade or longer for Penn State to recover; they certainly have a larger fan base and more money than SMU. I really hate it for the faculty,students and alumni.
Makes you wonder what other universities are covering up. College sports is big business. It's not about the fans, the athletes. It's about marketing, endorsements, ya know, a BRAND.
I wish people would realize college is for getting a degree, and just because your football team wins a lot doesn't make your university better than another.
A few years ago, I wore an aggie mom tshirt while shopping. As I was approaching the store, a fan wearing a rival's colors met me coming out. He couldn't wait to tell me that his school stomped my kids' school at a recent football game.....I said, "I don't care. My girls are there for an education and they don't play football."
There have been a few Penn state alums commenting here today, and I am sincerely sorry that a few men have brought shame to a great university.
Admin-- After reading the Huffington Post article,s synopsis, I have little doubt that Paterno would have had criminal charges against him, had he not died--he actively lobbied the Second Mile to let the matter drop, which led to more victims and more abuse.. Ergo, the games he coached would be tainted. Isn't he more like the boss that should have been fired in your analogy? I agree that it doesn't make sense if Sandusky wins still stand. But that doesn't mean that it was wrong to reverse Paterno's wins.
K8 that brings up another point, and that is the inaccurate belief that McQueary did nothing when he saw a kid being raped. The truth is McQueary stated that "“I didn’t just turn and run. I made sure it stopped." I think it's more accurate to say no one knows what McQueary did, but he testified that he made sure it was stopped, whether or not you believe that. ----- I read some of the report this morning, and if I remember correctly, he said once Sandusky saw him (McQueary), he and the boy stepped away from each other. Then, McQueary LEFT the building, and went home and called his daddy. (wtf?) He should have removed the boy from the shower immediately and call the Police.
Admin- believe me, I would LOVE to read/hear that somebody, somewhere did the right thing, and I totally get that there is a ton of speculation and things that nobody knows and may never know.
I read every page of the initial court documents that were filed, and then skimmed many pages of the Freeh report. I did see that McQ testified he "made it stop" but the fact that police were not notified ON THE SPOT leads me to believe that Sandusky just stopped raping the boy when he saw McQ . I wish that McQ would have stepped in, grabbed the boy, beat the crap out of Sandusky and called the police. He didn't, and he testified that he didn't know what to do and went home to call his dad, who then told him to tell Paterno, which he did the next day. That was the end of that incident.
This debacle is a horrifying combination of he said/she said , telephone and "it wasn't me" all rolled into one.
Ok, enough from me about PSU, my head hurts.
As for K8, well she was always a delusional narcissist and she will die a delusional narcissist. Those poor kids= (
fidosmommy said... 63 How did Kate get into the top cupboards without a ladder? Why, riding on Steve's shoulders, of course. How did she clean gutters, dust the ceiling fans, wash tall windows? She didn't. She waited until she had company for dinner. ************************************************Riding on Steve's shoulders backwards...gag,ugh! I'm going to hell for even thinking that.
But that doesn't mean that it was wrong to reverse Paterno's wins.
&&&
I have no problem reversing the wins, only don't understand why Sandusky wasn't reversed to.
I do and always will have a problem with not making them bowl eligible. The innocent should not be punished. It's hard to really explain in words how hard those boys have worked their entire lives to play for Penn State and now it's all out the window. Think about that Olympic commercial with the mothers helping their children since they were tiny to get there. That's these homegrown boys. I feel terrible for them. They did nothing wrong. This also punishes the fans, alumni and students. You have to understand this isn't like a college in NY or LA, this is all there is out there. Football is life there. The school is life there.
Admin, I'm reading the comments from the bottom up, so I didn't see your statement about what Paterno should have done. As head coach, and let's face it, King of Penn State, he should have banned Sandusky from access to all Penn State athletic events and facilities and should have reported the McQeary incident to outside police if administrators weren't going to. No press conference necessary. I just can't believe for a second that given Paterno's venerated status and the fact that Sandusky was "his guy," that Paterno didn't direct or at least approve the inaction of the others.
I had another thought about this show, isn't it way past pilot season anyway? I know there are a couple moms on here with kids in the business who might know, I always thought pilot season was more like April, March. By July they're pretty much filming stuff for the fall and things are ad one deal.
Although I guess as far as cable goes shows tend to start up at odder times.
Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8 RT @Rayvrq1 @kateplusmy8 START FILMING AGAIN!!! WE ALL MISS SEEING YOUR TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS! All those gorgeous faces!! #Kateplus8 AWW! _________
tish919 @Kateplusmy8 Please send a supportive tweet to my deployed husband, Brad. I am taking pictures of the tweets and making him a scrapbook.
This poor soul has been tweeting Kate for a month and Kate ignores her but has no problem retweeting fans who have drooled over her.
How many dating shows are out there? I know of the Bachelor, Bachelorette, Bachelor Pad (is this one big orgy?) and I just flipped through the channels and saw Love In The Wild (what is that?). Is there a name for Kate's new project that never will materialize?
Kate is so juvenile...what's with all the "AWWWWW'S" at the end of her tweets?! How about "thank you for your kind words...or thank you that was nice of you to say". What a twit
Just what these kids need -- a TV show where strange men compete to replace their father. Foot licking wasn't enough. Now they need to see a gaggle of fame whores talking about how either hot, bitchy or whatever, they think Kate is. Lovely. I can't believe Jon wouldn't run to Court to try to stop this if it gets off the ground. No judge in his right mind would think that is in the best interests of those kids.
Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8 RT @KenzieHendrix 4 every1 who rags on @Kateplusmy8,just know she had2potty train 6 kids.At 1 X. #blessherheart SO SWEET&TRUE ---------------

I remember last July/August reading that FutonTV site and they were reporting on the upcoming fall and winter shows. That's where I found that Kate's show hadn't been renewed. So I think it's safe to say IF (and that's a big big IF) there's a new show it won't be on until next year.
Dwindle said... 95 A Healthy Eating Tip for the blog:
An apple a day can keep Kate Gosselin away, if we each throw one hard enough on the count of three... ----------------------------------------- Funny you should say that. There was a local news story a few days ago about a small convenience store that was in the process of being robbed. The owner's mother-in-law tried to fend the robbers off by lobbing mangos at them! It pretty much worked - she did get smacked by a gun but she's OK and then they took off.
What would be the point of travelling around the country to find a man? Would this man then leave his life behind and move in to the orphanage? This will never sell,because Kate will want too much money and it would be too expensive to ship her all over the country. She really does not want to lift a finger does she? Let's see what they would have to pay for; travel for Kate and purseboy,makeup artist,hairstylist,wardrobe,childcare for the 8,purseboys salary,Kates salary ist class accommodations in the best hotels,not to mention the cost of the dates that she would go on.She's dreaming if she thinks anyone will listen to this.
If Kate is intimately involved with Stevie, then why is she going around the country to find true love, or is this just another gimmick for a television show, like the fake wedding vow renewal ceremony?
Here is what I just don't understand. Reality shows are supposed to be, well, based on reality. It isn't hard to predict that it's just a matter of time before being on the show significantly changes the subject's lifestyle, which, in turn, changes the reality. Once this happens, what exactly is the value? And, why do so many reality stars then think that everything they do has to be filmed and a paid gig? For example, going on Dr. Phil for marriage advice, Celebrity Apprentice for job training, the ill-fated divorced celebrity dads show that Jon was "in talks" with Michael Lohan and celebrity rehab. How about just joining a support group, get private therapy, got to AA, go to school to improve job skills or check into rehab that doesn't have Dr Drew on staff or return to the job they were doing when they were plucked out of obscurity?
Kate--Try eharmony, match.com or get involved in things where you can meet people. That's what people do. Three networks have already gone on public record that they are not interested in you--Lifetime, Oxygen and WE. Add in TLC, and that is 4 networks that routinely air reality shows that have zero interest. I hope that she is not stupid enough to invest her money in this doomed venture. It is a sure loser.
I started to comment here about two months ago. One of the reasons was to discuss the entertainment media! They truly sicken me! I find them lazy and incompetent ! They pick up her lies from her lying toy (twitter) and make up a story as if true! Many regulars here took offense with my comments but I feel that the media is responsible for keeping her relevant ! It makes me angry that she gets rewarded for bad behavior over and over again! As long as that lazy media keeps writing about her, her fifteen minutes will continue and eventually that lazy piece of crap will succeed in getting back on TV!
I guess the reason I get upset is that she is just an undeserving , ungrateful poor specimen of a human being! I never have nor ever will feel sorry for her!
She needs to grow up and be a mother to those children instead of trying to stay in front of a camera by dating men all over the country or world! I have nothing but disgust and contempt for her! Yuck!!
I'm sure some of you heard that Christian Bale came to Aurora today. He came of his own volition, not representing the studio. He came with his wife, no handlers or agents. They visited shooting victims in the hospital, the police station and fire station and also brought flowers to the memorial site. He posed for picture after picture and took time to talk to people - and was happy to do it. Christian is one of the biggest movie stars in the world, yet he managed to move around Denver and Aurora like the average guy. Kate has no excuse for actions, attitude or behavior.

Does anyone else find it rather disjointed that Paterno's wins were taken away, but not all the wins that Sandusky helped coach?
This doesn't make sense to me. Surely if Paterno's wins get taken away so should Sanduksy's, the person who actually abused the kids. ___________________
Admin, I have never heard of the NCAA crediting assistant coaches with wins. I think that official stat is reserved for head coaches only.
Sandusky stopped coaching at the end of the 1999 season. There was no evidence of wrong-doing before 1998, so the NCAA would not have been able to vacate any wins prior to that date. All of Paterno's wins that occurred while Sandusky was still coaching in 1998 and 1999 were vacated, so technically, they did take away all the wins Sandusky was associated with after the assaults began.
First Look on MSNBC [entertainment segment]announced that Kate Gosselin was looking to have a dating show. Then followed, to date no network picking it up yet.
Let's Throw Tomatoes, I agree with you and probably many others here, that the media are by and large, an untalented bunch of hacks. But, kudos to Kate's camp for spreading the dating story like wildfire. She knows exactly how to work the system and has for years. I first became acutely aware of this when Kate appeared on the Today Show post split with Jon. She made a media circus about her wedding rings. Is Kate wearing her rings today? Did Kate take the rings off? Oh look, Kate's got her rings on again! It was truly brilliant, in a diabolical way that is to say. Kate spoke to Merideth about taking the rings off and did this huge pregnant pause, replete with a good-sized gulp, lip quiver and a wee bit of a water in her eye. Merideth dutifully and on cue, handed Kate a tissue and Kate promptly dabbed her dry cheeks and chin, finally working her way up to her eyes which she rolled up as not to smear her makeup. In those staged moments of silence, camera shutters clicked away, capturing her grief and strife. And there, the money shot was had, the interview proceeded and Kate left to frolic about NYC, merrily eating, shopping and setting up paparazzi shots.
If you read the articles that have been put out there about the dating show, this was something that was put out by Kate's publicist. They are looking for a network to pick it up. It is not a done deal. I stated a while back that this is why Kate and Jon have made nice on T.V. They are both willing to make nice in front of the cameras in order for Kate to have a chance at a new show to support the lifestyle of Kate and the kids. Without this show, it will be a struggle for all of them to maintain this lifestyle. I'm thinking she is pretty much desperate right now.
R.I.P Sherman Helmsley. It's so sad to see you go.
I understand that Chad Everett also passed away. May he also rest in peace. I don't think that man had an ugly day in his entire life. God bless his heart & soul.
Let's throw tomatoes: You are right about the media, they are lazy basTurds(I spelled it that way). Most of their info is re-written from one article and embellished. They don't check to see if info is correct, if article/story is even true. A lot of the articles on the net, are right up there with the media rags and are just as bad as the rags. They make up stories. Kate's rumored dating show will not make the light of day, cause there is a show already coming on TV on CBS thurday, with the same concept. This BF Jaime who put this crap out there, to keep Kate in the media and those media took it for a ride, not even checking to see it is true. So Jaime & Kate got the media buzzing about a rumored show that does not exist, or even picked up by any network. Kate has not had much publicity in the last several months. Only one appearance on the Today show and that was it. I don't count the radio show, cause you would have to have a computer to listen to it, or live in PA to hear it. Nobody else wants her on. That says a lot right there. Even the Grove, never broadcast her segment on the Grove. As for the 99,000 tweets, they are bought. Nobody who is that unliked , as Kate, gets 200 follows in one day.
Exnurse: cause they think they are stars/celebs, which really they are not, not even on same planet. If say cameras filmed you or me or anyone on this blog, it comes to be boring. On these reality shows, and shows being the key word, they turn real live into entertainment. Think about how all these reality shows are, sorry in real life, you me every normal person would not even come close to what these reality families do. Most of us are lucky to even take a vacation anywhere, once a year, and our vacations are not lavished. We be lucky to keep our houses, cars etc. We get no freebees, no lavish vacations, VIP treatments, cause we work for things, and that my friends is boring. All these producers of these shows, up the all the things most of us cannot afford, added perks, and then put these families in situations, for entertainment. Most normal people do not act that way. That is why the Hayes show Table for 12, show was canceled, they were living like the rest of us, dad still worked, kids went to regular school, the family did regular things, no outrages vacations, just regular, normal, mediocre boring things. I did not find them boring. The Duggars are semi-normal, but border on the freakish end, cause of the size of their family, religion, etc. All the Housewifes of whatever, is really un-real, I don't know anyone who acts that way in real life. The snooki type shows are just as bad, for young people. Hopefully, at some point in the future, people will get sick of these shows and like the home shopping shows will all but disappear.
You are all making me laugh today as can you imagine the type,of guy that would sign up to be on this dating show, either a masochist who enjoys being yelled at or put down. Or a Kate in male form looking for a venue for his 15 minutes. If there weren't the kids humiliation involved I would say go for it it but could you imagine I feel too embarrassed and sorry for the children that she is even pitching this junk. As a consumer Imam over realityntv. I want more thought provoking drama and more well written comedy! Westbrooke
Koopdedoo -- thanks for that link. Jimmy is funny in such an unassuming way.
What I don't understand is how/why this dating show rumor has spread like reality TV wildfire. She isn't some hot commodity. Why? Maybe because she is such an easy target. Still, I resent all the attention she is receiving for what I hope is a non-story.
Don't you know she is loving the flicker of limelight?
I thoroughly agree. It's like the game of "Telephone". One site(E!) puts the story out there citing a "source"(Julie Carson May or Jamie), and the whole thing snowballs. It goes from being "signed up" to being "officially confirmed".
I doubt there is any show in the works. I think perhaps Kate and JCM(or someone else) were throwing around ideas how to get her back on TV, and when a dating show was mentioned, Kate said "sign me up, I'm in". Thus, it turned into "Kate has signed up", meaning Kate has now agreed to it, where before she kept on saying it wasn't for her.
The story was then planted to generate interest in Kate and try to make her relevant. Also, to put out feelers and see if there was any interest. They're probably also hoping that the TV interview shows are going to be clamoring to get Kate to discuss it. This is what a PR person and agent does.
Most comments on the articles are negative-and this is one of my favorites:
"what network is picking it up , the cartoon network"
I loved Overboard! One line that fits Kate is, "Well, I guess this is my life. I didn't marry very well, did I?". As far as the rumored dating show--what happens to the kids while she's out traveling and looking for Mr. Right? Do they go to Jon? Will they have to amend the custody agreement? She'd better be careful. Her "brand" is being this single mom with 8 kids. If they're with Jon long-term while she runs around, then her brand is done. Does she pay Jon child support? Who takes care of the house, dog, chickens, etc while she's gone? What if she meets a guy from another state? Will Jon let her move the kids out of state? Does she leave the kids behind and move? Or does the new guy move to PA to be with her? If the man has kids, is he expected to leave them behind? Is he expected to leave his job/friends/family behond to be with Kate? Will she expect him to support her and the kids? How will he do that if he leaves his job? I am a mom with a teen who dabbles in "the business". The time to pitch a show for the fall lineup is long past. If the show wasn't picked up months ago, it will have to wait, probably for months/a year. Even then, there's way too many dating shows already on the air/coming up.
I just watched the Jimmy Kimmel clip......that was really good!!!!!
Anyone else starting to feel a little bit of pity for Grifty? Now its just getting sad. She is doing everything she can to stay in the spotlight, and nobody cares. She refuses to accept the FACT that her "career" in the media is over....
Just thought of the radio interview the other day when she said she wanted to sit in the chair of one of the hosts. She thinks she can just sit there and look pretty, and have all the work done for her as usual. What a FOOL.
Go away Grifty, if you really hope (coff coff...beg..cof coff) that RR will send you to the Lisbon marathon, don't come back.
The reason Paterno could sleep was because Mrs Sandusky was also in the hotel room. Please remember the charge Sandusky was found not guilty of was the never identified boy in the shower and McQueary witness charge. Also note defense had friend of mcqueary's father who witnessed Mc Queary telling his father what he thought he may have seen testify. McQueary wasn't clear in what he saw but was afraid of what he thought he saw. It just isn't that simple. Anyhow when you look at what Joe Paterno did For students, school and the works were never football related they were library and total student body related I guess I will not believe he protected his program or legacy as the man never gave a damn about himself. He is dead now and can't defend himself so he is an easy target. And as an aside when we saw disturbing things in Westbrooke over the hours the Gosselin children were being filmed- We didn't go to the tabloids although every one of them were at my door,we wrote letters to the attorney general, the same attorney general s Office that did nothing with the 1998 Sandusky accusation from a child. We saw no investigation into what we were telling them was going on, zero. Westbrooke

Sherman Helmsley was so good on The Jeffersons, and, before that, as Archie Bunker's neighbor.
Didn't know Chad Everett passed away...what a hunk and always loved him on Medical Center.
Layla, 154 -- every question you asked, those are the detailed questions that Kate should be reviewing. Probably there are 1,000 more equally logical things to think about.
Kate does NOT think ahead. She lives in the very boring or screeching moment.
Kate needs to read your post and try to respond to each of those inquiries...not for us, but for herself and her children.
The Jimmy Kimmel bit was funny. I'm guessing that Kate will tweet him the minute she hears about this. I wonder if she realizes that everyone is laughing at her and not with her. I guess that it doesn't matter becasue to her any attention is good attention. She is pitching this dating show and she may even get to film a pilot, however, just becasue you film a pilot doesn't mean that the show will ever air. Many, many pilots are show, shown to focus groups and then put back on the shelf. Sorry Kate, your the topic today becasue no one can believe your balls in shopping this idea but unless you finance it yourself I don't think that it will ever see the light of day.
Koopedoo-thanks for the link-that was hysterical! I especially liked his line "It's like the Bachelorette mee the Deadliest Catch". The faux promo was good too.
Dmasy-151-I don't know why either, but if you think about it, it's not really putting Kate in a good light. It's showing how desperate she is in her quest for fame and fortune. Although the story has spread, in the grand scheme of things, Kate is still just a little blurb in the entertainment media.
Dmasy 151 said What I don't understand is how/why this dating show rumor has spread like reality TV wildfire. She isn't some hot commodity. Why? Maybe because she is such an easy target. Still, I resent all the attention she is receiving for what I hope is a non-story.
Don't you know she is loving the flicker of limelight? ------------- She *sort of* is a hot commodity...a NEGATIVE one, kinda like octomom and Casey Anthony. Anything concerning those two hits the news instantly. I watched the Kimmel bit, and at the mere mention of Kate's name the audience started LAUGHING. Kate wants the limelight, but not the way she is receiving it. I'd hate to think that just the mention of my name causes laughter, scorn and ridicule. Kate needs to wise up and wise up fast. She has nothing to offer the media. Her realist reality show sealed her long-term fate. She has no socially redeeming qualities. Any man outed as dating Kate will face a public emasculation. I don't think Kate wants a man. I think the only thing that makes her happy is money.
And as an aside when we saw disturbing things in Westbrooke over the hours the Gosselin children were being filmed- We didn't go to the tabloids although every one of them were at my door,we wrote letters to the attorney general, the same attorney general s Office that did nothing with the 1998 Sandusky accusation from a child.

What a fantastic point. We also have tried to get Pennsylvania to listen about the Gosselin kids. For years. We've been blown off at every turn by almost everyone but Rep. Murt. The investigation ended up with nothing more than a mere slap on the wrist. Makes you wonder, if complaints about child exploitation had happened after the PSU scandal would we have been taken more seriously?
Pennsylvania has a lot of growing up to do when it comes to protecting its children.
The sheeple who tweeted that Kate potty trained six kids at 1X needs to rewatch Jon & Kate Plus 8. She potty trained the girl tups at 2 1/2 and didn't potty train the boy tups until 3 1/2. Because boys don't train as early as girls, don't you know.

I thought the same thing but didn't get around to posting it. She actually potty trained 3 at a time not 6 at a time. But does Kate correct that? Nope. She takes credit for the 6 and thanks her. She is a piece of work.
I'll do a post on the Jimmy Kimmel clip. On the one hand I laughed. On the other I feel bad for the kids. The show isn't even off the ground and they are already being publicly humiliated. Does Kate think about how her actions affect them? Of course not.
First Look on MSNBC [entertainment segment]announced that Kate Gosselin was looking to have a dating show. Then followed, to date no network picking it up yet.
&&&&
I still don't get why any of these media outlets are acting like this is a story. This is like doing a story about how did you know that President Obama could resign?
What do you mean? Is there a rumor about that or something?
Well, no, not really, I'm just saying he COULD, potentially, if all the stars align.
Does even realize that putting out this "dating show" could backfire big time on her? If it doesn't happen(like Twist of Kate), it'll just show again what a failure she is. She keeps throwing things out there(books,tv show) but if it doesn't happen, what does that say about her?
No matter how many articles are published, no matter how many interviews are done, it still will boil down to the same thing-nobody wants to put her back on TV.
Check, I totally agree with what you are saying. More facts that are often omitted when people saying they knew as far back as 1998. Yes they DID know and so did the cops and CPS and no one did anything back then.
Certainly, without a doubt Paterno bears responsibility. However, I do not see enough outrage towards all the other missteps that happened along the way, notably toward the many police officers and welfare services who were involved and decided "there's nothing to this." Where are their referrals and reports evaluating this out and how the heck did that happen?
Paterno has become the face of those who did not do anything. And while I think Paterno, knowing him, wouldn't mind being that person if it will help the school to just move on, it seems rather misplaced if you are aware of how huge this scandal really is involving multiple layers of agencies and people at all levels from janitors to the president of the university. I simply am not a fan of scapegoating. I think everyone involved should bear their share of the responsibility, period.
I think what is scary to think about, knowing all the people involved, is wondering if you were in that huge group of people who knew, would you be that one person who handled it differently?
I really think Kate is in a desperate position right now. She has cut back on staff (and we all know that she does not want to take care of the kids and clean that house herself), cut back on her travel habits (that's gotta hurt), seems to be begging for free child care while she's away (Jamie). I'm not saying she's broke, but she has huge expenses that can't be cut by clipping coupons. She tweeted a couple weeks back about a day of ideas (and something else, I can't remember what). She was brainstorming with someone, and this dating show was what they came up with. It's almost a year since the show was cancelled, and she is well aware of that. How humiliating to have people talk about how many YEARS it's been since you were on TV. She is teetering on the edge of mediocrity, and she's desperate to stop it.
The spot about her possibly doing a dating show was on our 8am talk radio this morning.
The hosts were completely yukking it up about how she can film anything she wants, but NOBODY wants her. Nobody. They thought the whole idea was just hilarious and beyond comprehension.
I thoroughly agree. It's like the game of "Telephone". One site(E!) puts the story out there citing a "source"(Julie Carson May or Jamie), and the whole thing snowballs. It goes from being "signed up" to being "officially confirmed".

I agree.
Maybe the Chiller or Thriller channels might be interested in picking up the idea for a show where a shrill, emasculating, man-eating, mother of 8, divorcee, will be aggressively hunting the country for a date...
Kate Gosselin@Kateplusmy8 It's been a great day of ideas&dreams...Just now settling in2 bed following a long day .... I'll try to chat with you all tomorrow!Miss you!

That was just before her radio interview in which she mentioned that she could possibly start dating in the future. She wasn't asked about dating in the interview-she was the one who brought it up and put the idea out there. This was all carefully planned out.

She's speaking in Kate code again. Not denying, not confirming.
Remember her remark recently when she was doing that morning radio show that "she might start dating again"...I knew there was a reason for it. -------------------- She wasn't asked about dating in the interview-she was the one who brought it up and put the idea out there. This was all carefully planned out.
Bingo. NOTHING is random with her. She ALWAYS foreshadows. What a dope. She loves being oh so coy.
Who? Me? I didn't say anthing. And then she shows that stupid toothy smile.
Although we won't know the DWTS cast until Friday, I think that this whole dating show stuff was thrown out there to deflect from the fact that she wasn't asked to participate. It's got her tweeties in a frenzy and none of them is asking about DWTS.
If she isn't on DWTS, how easy for her now to say that she couldn't commit to that show because she has something else in the works. She'll make it seem like she was the one who turned it down-when in fact she was never considered.

************* Kate is a Twit, Thank you! I knew there was something she put out there, but I didn't want to have to look through her tweets to find it. Reading all her self-serving garbage makes me nauseous. Thanks for taking one for the team!
Maybe I am the only one..but here is my fear. Kates 10 sheeple will blow up the votes on DWTS and get her back on the show. Kate's ego will explode as being most voted. THe public will wonder how she became popular again and say well if others like her again maybe I should. Getting her mug back on tv on DWTS will then lead to another reality show opportunity. It seems far fetched but kate is like a cockroach she doesn't go away. She finally gets out of the press and now this stupid show may bring her right back. UGH. I just wonder if kate will be able to keep up her FAKE syrupy sweetness for the show or if her sneering ugly insides will show through again this season.
I for one actually think there is a shot she will return We all know how far the sheeple will go to do the work to make kate a star again. The are far to invested in her..they NEED her to be famous again to justify their adoration. PLus then they can tell everyone their BFF is a superstar and they got her there.
Another thing to think about . If kates sheep do get her this gig they are going to want recognition and thanks from kate. The sheep will feel (and rightly so) that they brought her back into money and fame. They will want something back for their efforts so kate better not turn her back on them or it could get ugly.
GROAN at the thought of DWTS giving this bitch a platform to take a lot of easy money for little work. After her behavior the last time they should ban her. THe rating will be the same with or without her...but if shes voted in they will assume she is the rating grabber. Networks will believe it too. THis could be bad.
EM - Let's be realistic here. The sheeple can call in maybe 10 votes each but I don't seem them having the money or resources to blow up the vote. There are more fans of real stars out there and if each one of us were to call in our votes (or vote on computer) we would be able to cancel out any calls for kate.
I do and always will have a problem with not making them bowl eligible. The innocent should not be punished. It's hard to really explain in words how hard those boys have worked their entire lives to play for Penn State and now it's all out the window. Think about that Olympic commercial with the mothers helping their children since they were tiny to get there. That's these homegrown boys. I feel terrible for them. They did nothing wrong. This also punishes the fans, alumni and students. You have to understand this isn't like a college in NY or LA, this is all there is out there. Football is life there. The school is life there.
******
I'm sorry, but this is ridiculous. Every time that a team is banned from being bowl eligible, it impacts innocent players. It doesn't matter if those players are in LA, NY or PA. The university needs to be punished severely for what it allowed to happen and retroactively voiding wins is not enough.
99% of the "boys" who worked hard their entire lives to make the PSU football team will not make it. Their lives are not destroyed as a result, nor will these players' lives be destroyed because they can't participate in post-season football. To imply that "these poor folk from Podunk, PA" have nothing else going on in their lives is condescending, to say the least.
kate doesnt realize its best for her to lay low awhile. She keeps trying to get her name in the press..but each time she does it is met with 99 percent negativity. Unless she is going with the old "any press is good press" mentality I cannot see why she would want to be subjected too exposing herself to all the negative articles and comments about her. Maybe its time to go underground from the press, work on yourself..and them try to re-emerge for a "comeback" if that what you insist on doing. You cannot come back if you never leave. kate's likablility ratings are at an all time low. Surely the best advise PR people can give her right now is to lay low and do some positive things with her life.
(Administrator) said... 117 I do and always will have a problem with not making them bowl eligible. The innocent should not be punished.
It's certainly true that innocent parties will suffer fallout, and I'm sorry for that. But far worse is the tragedy that befell those children. No penalties whatsoever-- NOTHING -- will recapture the their lost innocents. THEY are the true victims in this whole mess.

Question for Kate. Why instead of traveling hither and yon doesn't she hire a matchmaking service locally? If she is really serious about this.
@@@@@@@@@@@
I think you know the answer to that. She is way above marrying a lowly nobody, especially one who lives in Pennsylvania. All the important people live in New York and LA.
Check I thought that cop said Kate loves the locals now? :). Snort!!
As a child of divorce, it HURT to see my mom and dad dating other people. I still cringe around my parents many years later when I see them pecking a kiss on their new partners. To see my mom dating someone on television would have made me absolutely horrified and so, so sad. I don't care what anyone says: those kids will suffer immensely if this ever comes to fruition. The kids need to have the final say in the matter.
I told heather actually they were but she said, reasonably so, they were glorified security guards. The scary fact is they are not that at all
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Doesn't it depend on the university? One four-year university here has its own police force, separate from the town/city police force. They are not glorified security guards. My alma mater, a small private university, only had security guards.
Lilly: lol, worth a try! ZZZZZZZZZZZZ....

That tube top dress has had three 'showings' now. Hope she didn't wear it on her errands. Jamie is dumb to allow herself and kids to be used and abused this way- again. She always struck me as not too bright and a little rough around the edges. And the dressing like Kate was SO odd- hope SHE doesn't bring out a tube top dress too.

Yes, the brawl at the Jackson house and other items in the news- very strange indeed. I feel most sorry for the youngest child, Blanket.

But if she went to a local place she couldn't do her two favorite things: travel and be away from her children. That is the whole point of this dating show. It has nothing to do with finding a new husband.
People magazine has picked up the story...based on Eonline's story...really!

Kate will be doing her happy dance except.....there is also a poll. 80% would not watch!
Cruise yes absolutely. That's why I said it was Reasonable for heather to think that. I'm talking specifically about psu. You'd have to look up each a every school to find out their police policies. I'm sure a small liberal arts college wouldn't have a full operating police force with guns. But a huge university that is more like a city probably would and in psu's case does.

LaLa@4....Her 15 minutes ARE up. Nothing will come of this. Like everything else..this too shall pass. She's aware that she's 'OVER'...this is all she has left. to try and create buzz for herself. Nobody's buying into it. It's just that she's going away kicking and screaming. Kates hanging by a thread...she must know that. I'd hate to think she's that stupid...

I didn't know that Paterno reported McQueary's account to the campus police. I thought I had read that Paterno only reported to his superiors at Penn State.
Since he did report to the head of Campus Police, he fulfilled his legal obligation to report. My question now: Is the Campus Police Department culpable?

From NJ.com/Star-Ledger, July 24...
"Former "Jon & Kate Plus 8" star Kate Gosselin is shopping around a dating reality show in which she would be ultimate prize, E! News reports.
We can envision the casting notice: "SWF seeking SWM for fun times — ballroom dancing, reality show taping, national mockery. You must be financially secure, enjoy routine emasculation and have a high tolerance for trips to the orthodontist. Pet peeves: Ed Hardy T-shirts, men capable of independent thought."
"She finds it hard to meet men in her day-to-day life, and so a dating show will give her exactly the help she needs," a source tells E! (Because online dating shows have such a stellar track record. Just look at Trista and Ryan Sutter and ... and ... ) "She is willing to travel around the country in order to meet Mr. Right."
SCHMOOPY is from the Seinfeld Soup Nazi episode. Jerry and his girlfriend kept calling each other that and it was driving George crazy.
Oh, Lawdy Be!!!!
The twit is trending on Yahoo.
I took the bait and clicked, this is a word for word quote from a Philly paper... (hometown love, eh?)
Kate Gosselin Is Back. And she’s dating. And she’s planning on doing that on television, so you’re probably going to want to change the channel. [Us Weekly]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
I am as far as you can get from a Hollywood producer, so unless she has a network lined up, (and its doubtful that TLC will touch her again after the 6 years of hell she put them through...) Just having an idea for a show doesn't guarantee it will happen.
For instance, I have an idea for a show in which I marry Hugh Jackman, George Clooney and The Rock. Ain't gonna happen... (booo!)
I hit publish too soon when I posted about SCHMOOPY being from Seinfeld. I meant to say to AntieAnn that her kids may well have been using it for a while but that's where I know it from.

That's really funny, spot on. BTW I love the film SWF, really creepy- so is the book it's base on.
I just went to my facebook where I "like" Entertainment Tonight and they are asking if Kate having a dating show is a good idea. There are 169 comments so far and they are not positive!
Also, I think Kate was on that counter minutes after Jamie because she wasn't cleaning it right. Can't you just hear her-"That's not how you do it-JUST GET DOWN! I WILL DO IT MYSELF!"

I hit publish too soon when I posted about SCHMOOPY being from Seinfeld. I meant to say to AntieAnn that her kids may well have been using it for a while but that's where I know it from.

For the Seinfeld fans who'd like a memory lane walk, here's the 'schmoopy' clip from the show. I still watch the show several times a week!

NJ, I figured out what you meant.
So here's my new name for kate:
Schmoopy the Schlub. She's even got her own song:
"Hang on Schmoopy........"

That's probably where they got it.
They're big Seinfeld fans, as am I. We use the word around here when someone "whines like a little girl" as one of them likes to say.
Jane- thanks for the link. Great show, wish they were still making it.

Check it's relevant because people think police weren't involved and never called. I told heather actually they were but she said, reasonably so, they were glorified security guards. The scary fact is they are not that at all. I think it just slightly mitigates things to know that Paterno did go to police
@@@@@@@
Except he didnt go to the police in the Feb 2001 incident. :(
The police investigated an incident that was reported by a boys mother in 1998
The discussion about the PSU campus police force is interesting. I am less concerned about whether they are a "real" police force authorized to carry guns and arrest people, and more concerned about who employs these officers. Do they work for the city/state, or are they employees of the university? If they are employed by the university, then they would be subject to the same institutional pressures that others felt in trying to protect the university at any cost. That would be a terrible conflict of interest.
For anyone not familiar with the song I referenced at 28:

I have to say it again, I will never understand how you can witness the rape of a child and not call the police immediately. Isn't a personal code of morality more valuable than any amount of money? Isn't protecting a child the highest good?
-------------------------
Interesting point. The reason I'm still commenting about Kate is because I think she's a terrible mother, and I feel badly for the children. I wish there were some way they could live a happy life away from their narcisstic mother.
It is a sort of disconnect to see on the same blog, people finding loopholes for why Joe Paterno didn't do much of anything to protect innocent children.
As to McQueary, I have read that although an adult at the time he witnessed the shower incident, he was apparently very immature. He behaved more like a child, and didn't know the right thing to do, so he asked his dad. (I think it's sad a grown man was too scared to step in and put an immediate stop to the situation and call 911. I can only imagine what despair must have run through that poor boy's mind, maybe thinking "here is someone who will save me" and then the guy just leaves.) Then his dad advised him to talk to Paterno. The story from the Paterno camp was that McQueary was somehow vague about what happened in the shower, and something of a sexual nature occurred but the exact "what" was not discussed or described. Thus, Paterno didn't know exactly what happened and so when he reported it to the campus police, he was vague as well. (My question is: Why not question McQueary closely - ask him, "Exactly what did you see or think you saw?" "What do you mean, something of a sexual nature? Can you be more specific?" The way I see it, Paterno didn't want to hear anything too specific. He was afraid to ask detailed questions, because he was afraid of what he might hear.

What's next for Kate Gosselin public access channel.
Well, Kate is way too late. Her dating show, concept, has been taken, and will be on TV in september. I was watching Judge Judy and a commercial came on, promoting a new TV show for fall. The show is called: 3, the show consists of 3, 25-30ish girls, who go traveling around the country and world, trying things, attending events, and looking for love and dating. Sound familiar? They show the 3 girls they are young and pretty. Kate is pushing 40, looks 50, still bitchy, whiny, and complains, still thinks she is above everyone, and thinks she special. Which show would you watch, guys/men? Would want a pushing 40 year old/mother of 8 kids, who think her shit stinks, or 3 pretty young girls who like to have fun and have no attachments?
Geez, Kate, jon has found lot of GF's, even had relationships with some and is having a good relationship with current one. Geez, it's even been reported that Octomom has a BF, and she has 14 kids.
Octomom is truely a single mom of 14. Kate is a divorced mom of 8. What's your problem Kate?
Sweet I don't think anyone is trying to find a loophole for Paterno. Just clarifying and discussing the facts of all this complicated onion. The only thing I don't like is the over simplification of it. I know it's easier to say person A didn't do this end of story but it's not that easy this time. This has to be one of the most multi layered and complicated set of facts to ever come out of a college scandal.

We can envision the casting notice: "SWF seeking SWM for fun times — ballroom dancing, reality show taping, national mockery. You must be financially secure, enjoy routine emasculation and have a high tolerance for trips to the orthodontist. Pet peeves: Ed Hardy T-shirts, men capable of independent thought."
In the comments section, the woman who wrote that (Vicki Hyman) said she if she had to recap Kate's dating show she'd "rather find less despicable work, say as a colonic technician."
I like her. I like her a lot.
"The ultimate prize"......I don't know why....I can't stop laughing. I'm dead serious!
The kids couldn't get flour on the counters but Kate and Jamie can stand on them in bare feet? Good luck to with the dating show. Having 8 kids is the least of her problems. No sane man would want that miserable bitch even if she had no children
I would say that all this buzz about a dating show was Jaimes doing. Remember, NYC, Jaime can get very wild, would do anything, and not care how it looks. Well, Jaime, hats off to you, you got the media buzzing about a rumor dating show and tryin to whip up support to the network by getting their attention to turn rumor into reality. But your too late, as I posted above, there is a show coming on on CBS, in fall of the same dating concept as Kates.:):):)
Rhymes-thanks for posting the link to "Hang On Sloopy"-brings back a lot of memories. Now I'm taking a trip down memory lane on YouTube.
OK, got the premier of the 3 girls go traveling and dating looking for love show(Kate's concept show, new idea) it will be on July 26th at 10/9c on CBS. It's called: 3. Stupid name by the way: I think: Looking for Adventure & Love, would be a better title. But then I'm not gonna watch it either. :)
Foxnews.com has the story about Kate shopping her dating show around. They have a poll after the story asking readers if they'd watch Kate's dating show. 92% said "no they would not watch"
As for the PSU case,I am an alumni and so is my daughter. We are devastated by all of this and we hurt for the boys that were abused. It's something no child should have to endure. About the case itself, and especially as it relates to Paterno: there are a lot of assumptions, inuendos, falsehoods, and lies swirling out there. I believe that before all of this is over, we are going to find out more (whether good or bad) during the court cases of Shultz and Curley. I suspect this case will go a lot further than just at Penn State -- there's the Second Mile organization, the missing State College DA Gricar, even the present PA Governor -- all could have some culpability in this tragedy...
Laugh some more!! Here's another one:
Kate Gosselin's New Reality TV Show Has Disaster Written All Over It
"Oh, for the love of Pete. In what has to be the most ridiculous piece of celeb mom news we've heard in a while -- Kate Gosselin is trying to find a network to air a new reality TV dating show that she's planning on starring in. And while there aren't too many details as to how this disaster of a show will play out, it sounds like it will be centered around Kate traveling around the country looking for a man. (It's ok to laugh out loud.)
And while sources claim 37-year-old Kate is at a point in her life where she's ready to find true love and start over -- we're not stupid, and we all know what's really going on here.
In a nutshell, Kate is totally over being a coupon blogger and can't stand the fact that her days in the spotlight are over for good. She misses the cameras (and probably the cameramen too). She misses the paparazzi following her every move (because she's one of the few "celebs" who loves being plastered all over the front of the tabloids). And she misses the perks that go along with being a fairly famous reality TV star (like being recognized at the grocery store and getting into theme parks for free).
It's almost like Kate has no idea what to do with herself since her TLC show was cancelled, and now she's pulling out all the stops to regain her D-list status as quickly as possible so she can stop living like the rest of us "regular" folk.
But honestly, I'm not sure the world can handle another Kate Gosselin reality show -- and I'm not sure she will get the warm welcome she's probably expecting if this thing does make it on the air. (Real life isn't all that bad, Kate. Just give it a little bit longer and I promise you'll get used to being ordinary like the rest of us.)"

That's what bothers me. It *is/was* simple. Child/children hurt, no one cares enough to protect them. People are caring more about who knows what, who saw what, who did it first, what if he finds out?
Pathetic excuses. Indefensible excuses. The FALLOUT is what has become complicated.

"Former "Jon & Kate Plus 8" star Kate Gosselin is shopping around a dating reality show in which she would be ultimate prize, E! News reports.
"She finds it hard to meet men in her day-to-day life, and so a dating show will give her exactly the help she needs," a source tells E! (Because online dating shows have such a stellar track record. Just look at Trista and Ryan Sutter and ... and ... ) "She is willing to travel around the country in order to meet Mr. Right."
************************************************
"She would be ultimate prize"???
What kind of cruel, hellish game show would that be?
Kate is so damn predatory.
She thinks that she will be more successful at "hunting down a man" if she travels the country, armed with a film crew?
Is she high? Who thinks of sh*t like that?
Only 6 - 10 sheeple find that stupid idea entertaining. The rest of the world would rather shove a fork into their eyes.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
P.S. Kate will do anything to be back on t.v. and away from her kids.
tate said... 164 And I love how she just tweeted that she wouldn't want to do Millionaire Matchmaker with Patti Stanger
---------------------------------
Patty Stanger would rip her a new one. Kate wants people who gush over her-not to be told the truth. Plus she wouldn't be the 'stah' on that show. She wants a show of her own.
Her knives are labeled?! I think this is all I can stand today, Schmoopie.
And who makes doctor appointments and says they're doing errands with company in the house. Jamie, honey, you are not company, you are unpaid help. Or, where have you been all year, the gf started turning her kids into bff's, she must be so happy you crawled back.
Child hurt you're supposed to help. Then all those janitors who knew are equally responsible following that mantra. And yet so many people seem to be giving them a free pass because they were just low on the totem poll janitorial staff. For those reason and many more IMO this is insanely complicated. But I understand your view heather.
LOL. Of course she was barking orders to Jamie about how to clean the range hood and ended up doing it herself. Lazy biotch.
Kate has tweeted 'cute' things said by Aaden, Joely, and Collin, (asking her if her run was good, wanting to see Eiffel Tower, not 'disurving' the chickens) and mentioned the talented twins. I wonder why she hasn't tweeted the brilliance of the little girls of late?
Kate can shop around for any kind of show she likes.
Problems is no one is buying whatever she's trying to sell.
Sorry Kate your done get use to it.
Little Paige is so much in love, and such a butt-kisser. It's actually scary to think that there are young gals (and old women) who are incapable of wiping away that hero worship to be able to think rationally. If Paige ever met Kate, she'd fall to the floor and they'd have to give her oxygen...
paige_kate8fan
@swesterling_ @Kateplusmy8 if I've learned one thing about Kate it's to never doubt her!
Everyone thinks that Kate thinks her time is coming to an end and she's getting desperate. I don't think she CAN think that way with her NPD. Think about it....she made everyone nuts on the RV trip but she still "did not get it" that she was the cause of all the discourse and Ashley being at the end of her rope. We know she doesn't get it because her response at the end of the trip was "everyone eventually leaves me" NOT "I eventually drive everyone away". She absolutely will NOT believe that there isn't a show out there...she just has to present the right one. Everyone loves her!! It's only that people disagree with her and we all know they are the "vile haters who are that way because the are so jellus"...they don't hate me because of ME, they hate me because they are so jealous of my wonderful ness". Kate absolutely!! Believes she will be on tv again. She needs help.
TLC stinks said... 51 A tweeter asked Kate:

@Kateplusmy8 Was your friend doing it wrong so you did it the right way??
Kate GosselinVerified@Kateplusmy8
@MarissaleighLee lol no. My friend was too short to reach the top middle :)
Yeah, right. She has posted 2 pictures of Jamie and she still keeps referring to her as her "friend", when everyone knows it's Jamie. She can't even give Jamie any recognition whatsoever. She just wants to make sure everyone knows she has a "friend".
When I think of Kate, the line from the movie "overboard" with Goldie Hawn comes to mind...."I'm not a bitch!...Everyone wants to be me"!
She tried Twisted Kate and it was scrapped before it even hit the air. Wouldn't you think that any network would pick up on that and not even want to risk any kind of association with Kate, knowing right away that it was going to be a disaster?
I think it's hysterical that Kate created a show for Kate, starring Kate, with Kate traveling the country and Kate making a lot of money and thinking that someone will air that junk. The distubing thing is that her fans already think it's a done deal. They are wetting their pants on twitter. Whats gonna happen when nothing comes of this latest brain storm of hers...
Does anyone know why Kate listed her address as Beverly Hills Cal.?

My favorite line. 'She's WILLING to travel around the country to meet Mr Right.'
Should actually read. 'She wants to get away from those damn kids and be famous again. For that she will do anything. Even date men who are so far beneath her, that without television cameras, she wouldn't given them water if they were literally dying of thirst.'
I may love Mary Fischer, Cafemom! Rocks!
How did Kate get into the top cupboards without a ladder? Why, riding on Steve's shoulders, of course. How did she clean gutters, dust the ceiling fans, wash tall windows? She didn't. She waited until she had company for dinner.
Wowser...I enjoy the movie "Overboard". It is a sweet watch -- over and over. Another line, from Katherine Helmund..."If you have a baby, you can't be the baby." "I have a falsetto child?" makes me laugh every time.
I'm really convinced that this whole 'dating show' thing was put out by someone to see if her image had improved any in the last year.
Oopsie. Nope it hasn't. Won't be picking up that show idea.

Here's what I don't understand. Kate HAS to know that people don't like her. She HAS to have read these articles about a dating show. Carrie Ann said that Kate has no self-awareness. Is her lack of self-awareness really that bad that she has no idea that she's a laughingstock? Is she really that stupid, or is there some brain mis-firing that just doesn't allow her to see it?
Admin,
For the past several months I have written some very respectful within the rules posts that have gone unpublished. For that reason and the general feeling that I am sick of Kate, I am leaving this blog. I wanted you to know in case the failure to post was inadvertent, and you could lose other posters as well.

KAT-Kate's address was first listed as Beverly Hills when she ran the LV marathon. Speculation at the time was that her agent, Julie Carson May, who lives in CA signed her up for the marathon and used her own address.
Seems like a lot of the liability for Sandusky will rest with the board that ignored the information about witnessed abuse.They were directly responsible for providing a steady stream of victims to that monster. Sandusky didn't step down until 2010.
Since much of their funding and the significant in-kind contribution of the sports facilities came from Penn State, who also had been informed of the abuse, they will probably have additional liability.

Thanks so much. I will give Glycine a try. I really appreciate all of your tips and sharing your stories- it's a horrible problem. I find many drs don't take it seriously. Sorry about your sleep apnea...

Actually, the problem with taking sleep apnea isn't my doctors--it is the insurance company that, for some unknown reason, will only cover 14 sleeping medication per month. Even with the copay, it is still several hundred dollars to get a month's supply. So, I cut them in half. Nice, huh?
why doesn't she just say Jamie? We ALL know it's here. We saw her, Kart's only friend, on TV.
On the Penn State tragedy -- I can sort of understand where McQuery was coming from. It's all about power. He was a Teaching Assistant at the time. I've been a TA. A University, especially one like Penn State, literally holds the power of life and death over TAs. At least, as far as their livelihoods and careers go. Sandusky was wealthy, powerful, and connected. Maybe he didn't know exactly what he saw. Maybe he wasn't sure. He did what he thought was the right thing and took it to his superior. His superior told him that he would handle it. Did he have any reason to doubt his superior? Did he ask later what was being done? We don't know. As I said, I can understand his dilemma. Agree with what he did? No. Understand? Yes.
I'm loving the Schmoopy label for KK! Also, "Hang On Schmoopy", although as a Buckeye, I probably should object ("Hang On Sloopy" is the official rock and roll song of Ohio). Schmoopy just suits KK down to the ground.
Have ANY of the dating shows produced a successful, long-lasting relationship, other than the Sutters? Only a man who's lived in a cave the past 7 years would consider dating KK. I can't see her agreeing to a dating show, either. On one of the J&K episodes she declared "We aren't demonstrative people". Well, she sure as heck isn't, except as far as herself is concerned. She's never demonstrated any feeling or consideration for anyone other than herself. You could almost literally see her cringe every time Jon touched her. His life must have been hell, in more ways than one.
Am I missing something...doesn't this imaginary show have to be picked up by a network first? Thats a big big maybe..

Or do we think it is already sold and the network is just too ashamed to admit it yet?
I dont understand the above tweet - who exactly replied that 'it seems to be' a go? who said that?
I think it is just laughable that she perceives herself as all that. She might look in the mirror and think that she looks pretty good for age 50 (horrible for age 37) but she is no prize, no package, no reward. She is nothing but a heavy smelly albatross around any man's neck.
We will never ever be rid of her. She is just biding her time until her twins are of legal age so she can set them up in a sex tape and start selling it. Kate Gosselin makes me ashamed of other Americans who buy into her pompous psychosis.

Isn't it funny not ONE fan of Kate's has asked that question?
I see y'all having a nice discussion about Joe Paterno and the sanctions against Penn State. I admit I havent followed the legalities of who knew what when and where, but I have a meager opinion on the sanctions.
If they won all these games using Jerry Sandusky's football skills, all the while he was committing criminal acts, that is pretty sad. However, if 'they' KNEW he was committing criminal acts, covered for him, continued to feed with more little boys so that he would stay happy and keep winning games for them, then the whole program needs sanctions, and sanctions that should touch the highest level of the school. The games won, were won on the souls of the young boys that were sacrificed in order to keep a coach happy and functioning well within the scope of his coaching duties. It is no different that a Little League team winning games with overage players. The games were won illegally, because Sandusky never should have been coaching and likely 'some' knew it.
With that grandiose opinion stated, I am not sure we will ever know who exactly said what and when. No one will ever talk, the ones that are still alive are getting elderly and just want themselves, their families, their pensions and bank accounts left alone.
I muat say that I am so glad to see Kate being supportive of Mady's interests. Mady plays music, acts, hand sews, and now it's sewing lessons ... I'm pleased for her.
I submit two nominees for dating show: Michael Loheman, sp.I think, and Tariq of White House infamy.
I am so jellus of Kate. I had no idea that she was besties with Amy Roloff! Seriously, Jamie, GF, consider yourself punked. Notice how Amy..err Jamie looks decidedly masculine in her photo and Kate is slutty-Barbie-mini-skirted -tube-topped perfection in hers? They're both fame whoring now and using each other in the process. Where are the kids during this stunt? I hope to hell not out by the pool unattended by an adult. Scary scary juvenile stunt.

She's going to be a farting bubble machine for weeks over the attention she's getting over this. Most people would be so humiliated they'd crawl away and change their name but you can bet Kate will be on cloud 9.
I'm waiting for a tweet from her - that should be coming along any minute now - that reminds everyone she's trending again.
ok I just went back and re read what I posted. Before anyone gets upset, let me clarify that I didnt mean that anyone at Penn was LITERALLY funneling boys directly to him; just that they knew where he was getting his victims and did not want to shut his supply down, because it was keeping him happy, keeping him winning games, and the wins were bringing in good money.
IF that is what happened. But like I said, it all depends on who knew what and when they knew it; and that is likely to go the grave with most of these men.

What I'm saying is in a perfect world when Paterno went to his boss, had his boss done something about it, this would have been at most a 2-week scandal, Sandusky would have been promptly thrown in jail and Paterno would be the hero.
@@@@@@@@@@
The only problem with this scenario is that even if authorities were notified in the Feb. 2001 incident, it doesn't mean anything would have happened. People aren't thinking about that. Say Paterno or Schultz or whoever went to the police, If McQueary hadn't been willing to come forward as a witness, or if they were unable to find the boy to get his testimony, nothing would have happened to Sandusky. Then what? Who would everyone be blaming now?
To this day, the boy in the shower witnessed by McQueary in Feb 2001 has never been identified. He has not come forward. Sandusky hasn't even been found guilty of that particular offense because no victim=no crime. I know it's a tough pill to swallow, but there you are.
Of all the charges and victims you hear about, there are only two that even the tiniest bit of knowledge was had by the university administration. The first was the 1998 incident, of which there were no witnesses. This was reported by the a boy's mother, immediately investigated by PSU Campus Police, then Children and Youth Services, AND the Department of Public Welfare.
There was no evidence of criminal activity and the Centre County DA had no choice but to not move forward.
The PSU administration was on the periphery of this. Paterno seemed to be less informed than his superiors in regards to this incident. There was no cover-up here. Sandusky admitted to using the showers with the boy and that he exhibited poor judgement in doing so. Now before anyone gets in a tizzy about this, you have to remember that in this type of athletic environment, boys shower together in group showers (girls too for that matter). This is true from the pros on down to youth camps. Now I will concede that its a bit unusual for a grown man and a young boy to be in shower facility, but it is a pretty big rush to judgement that the man is in any way doing something sexually inappropriate. And at the time, there was nothing to indicate anything of a sexual nature had transpired. So, no criminal charges. (cont'd)
Dwindle - don't worry too much. This is what Celbrity Circuit wrote and that tweet was all about:
(CBS News) Kate Gosselin may be taking her dating life to television.
The 37-year-old divorcee and mother of eight has signed on to shoot a dating show, E! News reports. The show has yet to be picked up by a network.
(my bold)
~~~~~~~~~~~
Pffft. Nice try, Kate & co.
The Feb. 2001 incident was the doozy, this was the one in which McQueary heard strange sounds and momentarily saw something that, well, he himself has yet to even describe it the same way twice, but we all know it looked pretty bad to him. Aside from the obvious fact that I pointed out above, which is that even if law enforcement was immediately notified, that is no guarantee that a strong case would have been built to arrest, try and convict Sandusky.
Also, try to frame this situation like this:
We have the luxury of knowing, today in July 2012, a lot of things that were unknown in 2001. We have several pieces of different people's testimony and different facts and bits of knowledge about things for the last 11 years. With these many pieces we can put together a fairly accurate picture of what was going on with Sandusky. But any one person back in 2001 didn't have all those pieces in order to see the big picture. You can't easily say that any one person knew that Sandusky was engaging in serial rape. You just can't. Well, YOU can, because you see all the pieces remember?
While McQueary is pretty clear in his testimony to the Grand Jury and at Sandusky's trial there is (and this is the important part) no indication of exactly how he presented the situation to Paterno and his superiors. One of the quotes specifically says he didn't provide Paterno with "a lot of detail" so how are we really to know what Paterno was told? But we'll never really know because Paterno is no longer able to testify.
About the "fact" that Curley came from a meeting in which Paterno must have urged him to to go to authorities, that is pure assumption on the Freeh report. Go read the record, it's conjecture.
Earlier I mentioned how the BOT (Board of Trustees) seemed to have been in the dark and shouldn't be held accountable, but I've been reading a lot today that is making me rethink that. In looking back over the past nine months or so there has been a definite power struggle between the administration and the BOT. And I didnt notice it at my first read of the Freeh Report, but the BOT comes out of this looking like the stupid kid brother. (Which isquite negligent, at best, BTW). But after I started going through it again, keeping in mind the investigation was commissioned by the BOT, it basically slams the Administration, using a lot of conjecture and leaps and quote mining in its summaries.
Basically, eyebrows have been raised as to the impartiality of this document.
Where are the kids during this stunt? I hope to hell not out by the pool unattended by an adult. Scary scary juvenile stunt.

Where else? In the basement watching videos (of the show), I'd bet. Since they were little toddlers, they have always been relegated to the basement to play and watch TV. Doesn't she have a huge family room where they could hang out? Yeah, of course she does. But that would be too loud, too messy, and too close to her "space" in the kitchen.
I'm so excited! My Mady has taken an interest in sewing! Checking in to sewing (machine) classes together! She can hand sew so moving on..:) 52 minutes ago

I guess I see this differently than some...Kate's probably yelling at the kids...money is running out...so now we have to make all your clothes! (of course, not Kate's clothes or the girl's clothes..maybe just for the icky boys.)
@SandieBellz @bellabars and now you must order the Athena bar! Omg that Bella bar makes me screech! ;) 59 minutes ago

What is Kate DOING with a snack bar that would make her 'screech"?
Why doesn't Jon put his foot down about Kate posting pics and info about the kids? Geez

ok I just went back and re read what I posted. Before anyone gets upset, let me clarify that I didnt mean that anyone at Penn was LITERALLY funneling boys directly to him; just that they knew where he was getting his victims and did not want to shut his supply down, because it was keeping him happy, keeping him winning games, and the wins were bringing in good money.

Dwindle--They were also providing the showers and locker rooms where the abuse ocurred. Your original post said what I've been trying to say very well.

If it didn't happen 3yrs ago it's not going to happen now.
Sandusky retired from coaching in 1998. It has been reported that Paterno was angry that Sandusky was spending more & more time with The Second Mile. He told Sandusky that he would not succeed him (Paterno) when he retired (many alumni think that Paterno was grooming his son, Jay, to be named coach). He also said that if Sandusky needed to make a choice: The Second Mile or PSU football. Sandusky chose The Second Mile. Paterno had nothing to do with Sandusky's retirement package -- that was up to Spanier, Curley and perhaps the Trustees.
The games/wins that the NCAA took away from Penn State were not any that Sandusky coached. Most of us believe that the NCAA took away these wins to punish Paterno and get his name off of their record books...
I don't understand
What I don't hear a lot of is what Paterno SHOULD have done. The only thing I can think of that would completely make sure it was crystal clear he didn't support any of this is that, against the authority of his bosses, Spanier, the trustees and everyone else involved, call his own press conference and announce that he heard someone who thinks he may or may not have seen something or other.
I'm not being flippant I think this is the only thing he could have done to remove himself from all of this. Would most people do this? I really am not sure I believe that.
Sorry I didn't finish my "i don't understand" thought lol!
I don't understand how sheeple can say a darn thing about Jon's dating habits and at the same time fully support Kate exploiting her dating life.
because it was keeping him happy, keeping him winning games, and the wins were bringing in good money.
&&&
He actually had nothing to do with coaching almost as soon as they found out. He hasn't coached a single game since 1999 or been involved whatsoever with the team. He was allowed to watch the games.
It was just a cover up. It really didn't have much to do with the wins. The team has actually pretty much stunk for most of the past 10 years.
Oh also I can't imagine any legal advisor who wouldn't say back in the day, wait a minute Paterno, you want to make a public statement that you may or may not have heard that someone saw something that may or may not be doing something with boys that could have been some kind of sexual abuse. Um, you're going to get sued for libel are you crazy???! You should just tell the police, ok? To which Paterno would have said oh ok I did tell the police then, the chief of police actually.
See why I think this whole thing is quite complicated. Hindsight is 20/20. Now, we know he should have called the press conference.
Does anyone else find it rather disjointed that Paterno's wins were taken away, but not all the wins that Sandusky helped coach?
This doesn't make sense to me. Surely if Paterno's wins get taken away so should Sanduksy's, the person who actually abused the kids.
DMasy: one of my favorites too...actually they could do a remake of that movie with Kate....she's from Wyomissing PA..she could play the part of Annie goolahy from DogPatch over in Goober!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Now, see... that's what I am sayin'. THAT sanction, well explained in just those terms, would have had a HUGE impact on future sports programs! Why is it no one ever consults this blog on these things? Between us, we know everything. (Except how to make Acute Gosselin Dyspepsia go away permanently... although we are working on it...)
Dwindle and by the way everyone I am loving hearing everyone's thoughts. Everyone has such introspection and it's obvious how much everyone truly case about doing the right thing, even at the end of the day we can't agree on what that is.
Dwindle does your opinion change about sanctioning the team itself now knowing Sandusky hasn't coached a single football team since it was first found out he was doing this to little boys? He was immediately ousted.
I feel like it's punishing the wrong person. Someone I know had what I think is a great analogy. Say you're sexually harassed at work and you report it to your boss, who then does nothing. Your boss should be fired. This is like not only firing your boss, but also firing you the reporter, as well as all of your co workers who not only had nothing to do with it but didn't even know about it.
IIRC, Victim 1's charges were from 1998. McQ witnessed the rape just a few years ago. There was already a pattern of extremely inappropriate behavior that was sexual in nature. If McQ was vague, and if this was the first incident of this nature, I think Paterno would have been more shocked and inquisitive. He was dismissive because it was nothing new.
There is so much to this scandal - ultimately, all that matters is that nobody that could help these boys did. Someone brought up the thoughts of the boy McQ saw Sandusky raping in the shower. That poor boy SAW McQ looking at them and then left =( And how many other victims are out there ? The Second Mile provide hundreds of vulnerable boys for Sandusky to prey upon, we will never know just how many lives Sandusky ruined.
I have a teenage son that plays sports - the thought of him taking a shower with his coach , not to mention having the coach "tickle " him makes my stomach turn.

Thank you for clarifying. Like I said, I am paying very little attention to the timeline and the legalities. And it shows, doesnt it? :)
AS, I said earlier: this is all Jaime doing, she is the source.
Kate's too late, CBS is putting a show with same concept as Kate's rumored show on this thursday.
So, Jaime & kate have again played the media. Put a buzz out there, to make a thing out of a non-existed show, that maybe has a name of: The Amazing Kate, there is no network who has committed to this show. Most of the articles stem from one article, and most say, she is shopping around a show. It's not a done deal, by any sort. And her fans are thinking that it is a done deal, Milo, is probably sitting there laughing, cause she knows it's a rumor. She said it herself.
Kate got her publicity. Kate got none with CC or the marathon, or the cruise, or taking a stab at Tony and Anderson, hoping Anderson would have her on his show. The man is not stupid, he saw right through her. The other talk shows are either ignoring her or not interested in her.
KATE IS DESPERATE!
K8 that brings up another point, and that is the inaccurate belief that McQueary did nothing when he saw a kid being raped. The truth is McQueary stated that "“I didn’t just turn and run. I made sure it stopped."
I think it's more accurate to say no one knows what McQueary did, but he testified that he made sure it was stopped, whether or not you believe that.
I think it's interesting that he also said this about when he and Paterno had a meeting with the police to report it:
"In my mind, Mr. Schultz represented the police, without a doubt. I thought he was very much like a district attorney for the university."
There is not a lot I believe about all of this but I actually do believe him on that one just because as a student I also believed that the chief of police WAS the police and like a DA. I felt that way too. Again, I'm not defending anyone, I'm just saying, I understand the frustration when mistruths become truths. I have no problem with the belief that these guys are all scum of the earth, as long as it's based on accuracies. It is not true McQueary did nothing and it's not true that no one told the police.
The Huffington Post has a good summary of Paterno's role in the cover up:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/12/freeh-report-penn-state-coverup-joe-paterno-jerry-sandusky_n_1667727.html
It is pretty clear that Paterno's inaction contributed directly to the abuse of additional victims. In 2001 Paterno told McQueary, "You did what you had to do. It's my job now to figure out what we want to do." Paterno also insisted that the Second Mile leadership not report Sandusky, which also contributed to the ongoing supply of victims.
From the article:
""What's striking about 1998 is nobody even spoke to Sandusky ... including the coach [Paterno] who was steps away from [Sandusky's] office," Freeh said. No one informed other staff not to let Sandusky bring youth into the shower either.
Sandusky made plans to retire in 1999 and move on to an outreach program, despite Paterno and Curley offering him positions at Penn State athletics. The report notes Sandusky retired with the "unusual lump sum payment of $168,000" and access to university recreational facilities.
Sandusky would continue to assault children over the next two years on Penn State's campus and at a team hotel. McQueary witnessed an assault in February 2001 and immediately reported it to Paterno. According to the report, Paterno told McQueary, "You did what you had to do. It's my job now to figure out what we want to do."
Spanier, Curley, Schultz and Paterno then spent the next month debating what they would do and whether to report Sandusky to authorities. During this same period, Curley said he met with executive director of the Second Mile and "shared the information we had with him." The Second Mile leadership concludes the matter was a "non‐incident." Eventually, they decided not to report Sandusky at the insistence of Paterno."
Sounds like this writer has Kate's number...looks like all the articles looking for feedback are very HIGH for NOT tuning in.
She is willing. I can only imagine the severe arm-twisting involved in getting Gosselin to arrive at such a willing mental state.
People magazine is conducting an online survey that asks readers whether they are interested in watching the equivalent of “Kate Plus 8” meets “Blind Date.” So far, 79 percent say no.
I’d suggest that Celebritology readers share comments about what they think but: a) I pretty much already know what they think, and b) I suspect that snarky comments already are being posted, no invitation necessary.
Kate has guests in her home. Why is she twatting up a storm? Is Jaimie getting Kate's kids ready for bed for her? Oh, wait...that's the twins' job. Still, it's rude.
I'm kind of surprised a magazine like People who surely know a show is not a show until a network picks it up would run with this story like it's the real deal. They might as well do a story about the hundreds of celebrities who are pitching various shows that will never see the light of day, but they don't do that because a show that never gets off the ground is no story at all.
And her fans are thinking that it is a done deal, Milo, is probably sitting there laughing, cause she knows it's a rumor.
+++++++++++++
If you look at the timeline, Milo tweeted her "rumor tweet" AFTER the article appeared on E! I don't believe that she had anything to do with E! picking up that story.
These tabs are really panning her (and that's putting it kindly)...
"Here’s the Problem: Guys. GUYS!!! Remember Kate Gosselin? The woman who verbally abused her husband even though he gave her 8 children with adorable Asian features worth watching TLC for? To recap – they got divorced, their TV show was cancelled, her husband went into an Ed Hardy isolation chamber and came out a Michael Lohan-loving douchebag and she got a full body lift and went to paparazzis’ houses in the middle of the night and violently shook them awake until they agreed to photograph her on a beach. Remember? Well, anyway, she’s back. E! Online announced that she’s trying to find love through a reality competition show, because, duh, this woman can’t wipe her butt unless there’s a camera there to capture it. Guys – WE CAME BACK JUST IN TIME!!!
Actual Problem: The show is just a development (probably only in Kate’s mind). What if it doesn’t get picked up? What if it doesn’t become a long running series where Kate hands out thorny stems to men whose lives she wants to ruin? What if she never gets remarried and the rest of the planet is denied the possibility of a Kate Gosselin wedding special?! Someone please buy this show. I’ll contribute to the kickstarter."
I hate what's happened to Penn State, for the alumni, its students, faculty. It seems grossly unfair to punish all for the sins of a few, but sometimes that's the only way the wicked learn a lesson. :(
Our whole society is messed up; we pay pro athletes and actors astronomical salaries, while starving our academia, social workers, et al.
We pay our high school and college football coaches MORE than our educators...is that twisted or what!
I read the Sandusky report (well, as much as I could stomach), and I hope that Spanier, Schultz, Curley and McQueary are held accountable--their indifference and turning a blind eye enabled Sandusky's continued abuse.
Some say, oh, McQueary was such a young man, blah blah...he was a GRAD student at the time...and why would it matter how old he was when he witnessed the abuse anyway? My youngest kids are 13, and I hope that if they saw a kid being abused, they would tell ME or call 911.
You just don't leave the building. damn.
I don't know how much Paterno knew, but we know that Spanier, Schultz, and Curley knew enough and early enough, that they should have done something about it. Well, they did, sort of. They protected their football program. I guess a bunch of kids from the wrong side of the tracks are just collateral damage.
I remember SMU getting the death penalty in the mid 80's, and to this day their program has still not recovered.
It might take a decade or longer for Penn State to recover; they certainly have a larger fan base and more money than SMU. I really hate it for the faculty,students and alumni.
Makes you wonder what other universities are covering up. College sports is big business. It's not about the fans, the athletes. It's about marketing, endorsements, ya know, a BRAND.
I wish people would realize college is for getting a degree, and just because your football team wins a lot doesn't make your university better than another.
A few years ago, I wore an aggie mom tshirt while shopping. As I was approaching the store, a fan wearing a rival's colors met me coming out. He couldn't wait to tell me that his school stomped my kids' school at a recent football game.....I said, "I don't care. My girls are there for an education and they don't play football."
There have been a few Penn state alums commenting here today, and I am sincerely sorry that a few men have brought shame to a great university.
Admin--
After reading the Huffington Post article,s synopsis, I have little doubt that Paterno would have had criminal charges against him, had he not died--he actively lobbied the Second Mile to let the matter drop, which led to more victims and more abuse.. Ergo, the games he coached would be tainted. Isn't he more like the boss that should have been fired in your analogy? I agree that it doesn't make sense if Sandusky wins still stand. But that doesn't mean that it was wrong to reverse Paterno's wins.
K8 that brings up another point, and that is the inaccurate belief that McQueary did nothing when he saw a kid being raped. The truth is McQueary stated that "“I didn’t just turn and run. I made sure it stopped."
I think it's more accurate to say no one knows what McQueary did, but he testified that he made sure it was stopped, whether or not you believe that.
-----
I read some of the report this morning, and if I remember correctly, he said once Sandusky saw him (McQueary), he and the boy stepped away from each other. Then, McQueary LEFT the building, and went home and called his daddy. (wtf?)
He should have removed the boy from the shower immediately and call the Police.
Admin- believe me, I would LOVE to read/hear that somebody, somewhere did the right thing, and I totally get that there is a ton of speculation and things that nobody knows and may never know.
I read every page of the initial court documents that were filed, and then skimmed many pages of the Freeh report. I did see that McQ testified he "made it stop" but the fact that police were not notified ON THE SPOT leads me to believe that Sandusky just stopped raping the boy when he saw McQ . I wish that McQ would have stepped in, grabbed the boy, beat the crap out of Sandusky and called the police. He didn't, and he testified that he didn't know what to do and went home to call his dad, who then told him to tell Paterno, which he did the next day. That was the end of that incident.
This debacle is a horrifying combination of he said/she said , telephone and "it wasn't me" all rolled into one.
Ok, enough from me about PSU, my head hurts.
As for K8, well she was always a delusional narcissist and she will die a delusional narcissist. Those poor kids= (

How did Kate get into the top cupboards without a ladder? Why, riding on Steve's shoulders, of course. How did she clean gutters, dust the ceiling fans, wash tall windows? She didn't. She waited until she had company for dinner.
************************************************Riding on Steve's shoulders backwards...gag,ugh! I'm going to hell for even thinking that.
But that doesn't mean that it was wrong to reverse Paterno's wins.
&&&
I have no problem reversing the wins, only don't understand why Sandusky wasn't reversed to.
I do and always will have a problem with not making them bowl eligible. The innocent should not be punished. It's hard to really explain in words how hard those boys have worked their entire lives to play for Penn State and now it's all out the window. Think about that Olympic commercial with the mothers helping their children since they were tiny to get there. That's these homegrown boys. I feel terrible for them. They did nothing wrong. This also punishes the fans, alumni and students. You have to understand this isn't like a college in NY or LA, this is all there is out there. Football is life there. The school is life there.
Admin, I'm reading the comments from the bottom up, so I didn't see your statement about what Paterno should have done. As head coach, and let's face it, King of Penn State, he should have banned Sandusky from access to all Penn State athletic events and facilities and should have reported the McQeary incident to outside police if administrators weren't going to. No press conference necessary. I just can't believe for a second that given Paterno's venerated status and the fact that Sandusky was "his guy," that Paterno didn't direct or at least approve the inaction of the others.
I had another thought about this show, isn't it way past pilot season anyway? I know there are a couple moms on here with kids in the business who might know, I always thought pilot season was more like April, March. By July they're pretty much filming stuff for the fall and things are ad one deal.
Although I guess as far as cable goes shows tend to start up at odder times.

This poor soul has been tweeting Kate for a month and Kate ignores her but has no problem retweeting fans who have drooled over her.
How many dating shows are out there? I know of the Bachelor, Bachelorette, Bachelor Pad (is this one big orgy?) and I just flipped through the channels and saw Love In The Wild (what is that?). Is there a name for Kate's new project that never will materialize?
Kate is so juvenile...what's with all the "AWWWWW'S" at the end of her tweets?! How about "thank you for your kind words...or thank you that was nice of you to say". What a twit
Just what these kids need -- a TV show where strange men compete to replace their father. Foot licking wasn't enough. Now they need to see a gaggle of fame whores talking about how either hot, bitchy or whatever, they think Kate is. Lovely. I can't believe Jon wouldn't run to Court to try to stop this if it gets off the ground. No judge in his right mind would think that is in the best interests of those kids.

I remember last July/August reading that FutonTV site and they were reporting on the upcoming fall and winter shows. That's where I found that Kate's show hadn't been renewed. So I think it's safe to say IF (and that's a big big IF) there's a new show it won't be on until next year.

A Healthy Eating Tip for the blog:
An apple a day can keep Kate Gosselin away, if we each throw one hard enough on the count of three...
-----------------------------------------
Funny you should say that. There was a local news story a few days ago about a small convenience store that was in the process of being robbed. The owner's mother-in-law tried to fend the robbers off by lobbing mangos at them! It pretty much worked - she did get smacked by a gun but she's OK and then they took off.
What would be the point of travelling around the country to find a man? Would this man then leave his life behind and move in to the orphanage? This will never sell,because Kate will want too much money and it would be too expensive to ship her all over the country. She really does not want to lift a finger does she? Let's see what they would have to pay for; travel for Kate and purseboy,makeup artist,hairstylist,wardrobe,childcare for the 8,purseboys salary,Kates salary ist class accommodations in the best hotels,not to mention the cost of the dates that she would go on.She's dreaming if she thinks anyone will listen to this.
If Kate is intimately involved with Stevie, then why is she going around the country to find true love, or is this just another gimmick for a television show, like the fake wedding vow renewal ceremony?
Is there a name for Kate's new project that never will materialize?

Here is what I just don't understand. Reality shows are supposed to be, well, based on reality. It isn't hard to predict that it's just a matter of time before being on the show significantly changes the subject's lifestyle, which, in turn, changes the reality. Once this happens, what exactly is the value? And, why do so many reality stars then think that everything they do has to be filmed and a paid gig? For example, going on Dr. Phil for marriage advice, Celebrity Apprentice for job training, the ill-fated divorced celebrity dads show that Jon was "in talks" with Michael Lohan and celebrity rehab. How about just joining a support group, get private therapy, got to AA, go to school to improve job skills or check into rehab that doesn't have Dr Drew on staff or return to the job they were doing when they were plucked out of obscurity?
Kate--Try eharmony, match.com or get involved in things where you can meet people. That's what people do. Three networks have already gone on public record that they are not interested in you--Lifetime, Oxygen and WE. Add in TLC, and that is 4 networks that routinely air reality shows that have zero interest. I hope that she is not stupid enough to invest her money in this doomed venture. It is a sure loser.
I started to comment here about two months ago. One of the reasons was to discuss the entertainment media! They truly sicken me! I find them lazy and incompetent ! They pick up her lies from her lying toy (twitter) and make up a story as if true! Many regulars here took offense with my comments but I feel that the media is responsible for keeping her relevant ! It makes me angry that she gets rewarded for bad behavior over and over again! As long as that lazy media keeps writing about her, her fifteen minutes will continue and eventually that lazy piece of crap will succeed in getting back on TV!
I guess the reason I get upset is that she is just an undeserving , ungrateful poor specimen of a human being! I never have nor ever will feel sorry for her!
She needs to grow up and be a mother to those children instead of trying to stay in front of a camera by dating men all over the country or world! I have nothing but disgust and contempt for her! Yuck!!
A name for Kate's dating show, if it happens -
"Ball Buster"
"Cuckoo's Nest"
"Don't Kiss Me Kate"
"Untamed Shrew"
I'm sure some of you heard that Christian Bale came to Aurora today. He came of his own volition, not representing the studio. He came with his wife, no handlers or agents. They visited shooting victims in the hospital, the police station and fire station and also brought flowers to the memorial site. He posed for picture after picture and took time to talk to people - and was happy to do it. Christian is one of the biggest movie stars in the world, yet he managed to move around Denver and Aurora like the average guy. Kate has no excuse for actions, attitude or behavior.

Does anyone else find it rather disjointed that Paterno's wins were taken away, but not all the wins that Sandusky helped coach?
This doesn't make sense to me. Surely if Paterno's wins get taken away so should Sanduksy's, the person who actually abused the kids.
___________________
Admin, I have never heard of the NCAA crediting assistant coaches with wins. I think that official stat is reserved for head coaches only.
Sandusky stopped coaching at the end of the 1999 season. There was no evidence of wrong-doing before 1998, so the NCAA would not have been able to vacate any wins prior to that date. All of Paterno's wins that occurred while Sandusky was still coaching in 1998 and 1999 were vacated, so technically, they did take away all the wins Sandusky was associated with after the assaults began.
If Kate wants a dating show, I would think she would have to fully address questions about her relationship with Steve.
How about....Mate with Kate
Take the Bait with Kate
Too late for Kate
Slave for kate
First Look on MSNBC [entertainment segment]announced that Kate Gosselin was looking to have a dating show. Then followed, to date no network picking it up yet.
Another show title: "Dating for Douches"
Let's Throw Tomatoes, I agree with you and probably many others here, that the media are by and large, an untalented bunch of hacks. But, kudos to Kate's camp for spreading the dating story like wildfire. She knows exactly how to work the system and has for years.
I first became acutely aware of this when Kate appeared on the Today Show post split with Jon. She made a media circus about her wedding rings. Is Kate wearing her rings today? Did Kate take the rings off? Oh look, Kate's got her rings on again!
It was truly brilliant, in a diabolical way that is to say.
Kate spoke to Merideth about taking the rings off and did this huge pregnant pause, replete with a good-sized gulp, lip quiver and a wee bit of a water in her eye.
Merideth dutifully and on cue, handed Kate a tissue and Kate promptly dabbed her dry cheeks and chin, finally working her way up to her eyes which she rolled up as not to smear her makeup.
In those staged moments of silence, camera shutters clicked away, capturing her grief and strife. And there, the money shot was had, the interview proceeded and Kate left to frolic about NYC, merrily eating, shopping and setting up paparazzi shots.
BTW...I for one like BALL BUSTER...if anyone is interested....
If you read the articles that have been put out there about the dating show, this was something that was put out by Kate's publicist. They are looking for a network to pick it up. It is not a done deal. I stated a while back that this is why Kate and Jon have made nice on T.V. They are both willing to make nice in front of the cameras in order for Kate to have a chance at a new show to support the lifestyle of Kate and the kids. Without this show, it will be a struggle for all of them to maintain this lifestyle. I'm thinking she is pretty much desperate right now.
R.I.P Sherman Helmsley. It's so sad to see you go.
I understand that Chad Everett also passed away. May he also rest in peace. I don't think that man had an ugly day in his entire life. God bless his heart & soul.
Let's throw tomatoes: You are right about the media, they are lazy basTurds(I spelled it that way). Most of their info is re-written from one article and embellished. They don't check to see if info is correct, if article/story is even true. A lot of the articles on the net, are right up there with the media rags and are just as bad as the rags. They make up stories. Kate's rumored dating show will not make the light of day, cause there is a show already coming on TV on CBS thurday, with the same concept. This BF Jaime who put this crap out there, to keep Kate in the media and those media took it for a ride, not even checking to see it is true. So Jaime & Kate got the media buzzing about a rumored show that does not exist, or even picked up by any network. Kate has not had much publicity in the last several months. Only one appearance on the Today show and that was it. I don't count the radio show, cause you would have to have a computer to listen to it, or live in PA to hear it. Nobody else wants her on. That says a lot right there. Even the Grove, never broadcast her segment on the Grove. As for the 99,000 tweets, they are bought. Nobody who is that unliked , as Kate, gets 200 follows in one day.
Exnurse: cause they think they are stars/celebs, which really they are not, not even on same planet. If say cameras filmed you or me or anyone on this blog, it comes to be boring. On these reality shows, and shows being the key word, they turn real live into entertainment. Think about how all these reality shows are, sorry in real life, you me every normal person would not even come close to what these reality families do. Most of us are lucky to even take a vacation anywhere, once a year, and our vacations are not lavished. We be lucky to keep our houses, cars etc. We get no freebees, no lavish vacations, VIP treatments, cause we work for things, and that my friends is boring. All these producers of these shows, up the all the things most of us cannot afford, added perks, and then put these families in situations, for entertainment. Most normal people do not act that way. That is why the Hayes show Table for 12, show was canceled, they were living like the rest of us, dad still worked, kids went to regular school, the family did regular things, no outrages vacations, just regular, normal, mediocre boring things. I did not find them boring. The Duggars are semi-normal, but border on the freakish end, cause of the size of their family, religion, etc. All the Housewifes of whatever, is really un-real, I don't know anyone who acts that way in real life. The snooki type shows are just as bad, for young people. Hopefully, at some point in the future, people will get sick of these shows and like the home shopping shows will all but disappear.
You are all making me laugh today as can you imagine the type,of guy that would sign up to be on this dating show, either a masochist who enjoys being yelled at or put down. Or a Kate in male form looking for a venue for his 15 minutes. If there weren't the kids humiliation involved I would say go for it it but could you imagine I feel too embarrassed and sorry for the children that she is even pitching this junk. As a consumer Imam over realityntv. I want more thought provoking drama and more well written comedy! Westbrooke

Koopdedoo -- thanks for that link. Jimmy is funny in such an unassuming way.
What I don't understand is how/why this dating show rumor has spread like reality TV wildfire. She isn't some hot commodity. Why? Maybe because she is such an easy target. Still, I resent all the attention she is receiving for what I hope is a non-story.
Don't you know she is loving the flicker of limelight?
So sick of her "self-promotion"...she nauseates me.
Her "Retweets" are so self-serving and absurd.
GAG.
anger issues kate said-147
I thoroughly agree. It's like the game of "Telephone". One site(E!) puts the story out there citing a "source"(Julie Carson May or Jamie), and the whole thing snowballs. It goes from being "signed up" to being "officially confirmed".
I doubt there is any show in the works. I think perhaps Kate and JCM(or someone else) were throwing around ideas how to get her back on TV, and when a dating show was mentioned, Kate said "sign me up, I'm in". Thus, it turned into "Kate has signed up", meaning Kate has now agreed to it, where before she kept on saying it wasn't for her.
The story was then planted to generate interest in Kate and try to make her relevant. Also, to put out feelers and see if there was any interest. They're probably also hoping that the TV interview shows are going to be clamoring to get Kate to discuss it. This is what a PR person and agent does.
Most comments on the articles are negative-and this is one of my favorites:
"what network is picking it up , the cartoon network"
I loved Overboard! One line that fits Kate is, "Well, I guess this is my life. I didn't marry very well, did I?".
As far as the rumored dating show--what happens to the kids while she's out traveling and looking for Mr. Right? Do they go to Jon? Will they have to amend the custody agreement? She'd better be careful. Her "brand" is being this single mom with 8 kids. If they're with Jon long-term while she runs around, then her brand is done.
Does she pay Jon child support? Who takes care of the house, dog, chickens, etc while she's gone? What if she meets a guy from another state? Will Jon let her move the kids out of state? Does she leave the kids behind and move? Or does the new guy move to PA to be with her? If the man has kids, is he expected to leave them behind? Is he expected to leave his job/friends/family behond to be with Kate? Will she expect him to support her and the kids? How will he do that if he leaves his job?
I am a mom with a teen who dabbles in "the business". The time to pitch a show for the fall lineup is long past. If the show wasn't picked up months ago, it will have to wait, probably for months/a year. Even then, there's way too many dating shows already on the air/coming up.
I just watched the Jimmy Kimmel clip......that was really good!!!!!
Anyone else starting to feel a little bit of pity for Grifty? Now its just getting sad. She is doing everything she can to stay in the spotlight, and nobody cares. She refuses to accept the FACT that her "career" in the media is over....
Just thought of the radio interview the other day when she said she wanted to sit in the chair of one of the hosts. She thinks she can just sit there and look pretty, and have all the work done for her as usual. What a FOOL.
Go away Grifty, if you really hope (coff coff...beg..cof coff) that RR will send you to the Lisbon marathon, don't come back.
What a sad, sad, sad, pathetic life.

"Sort of like The Bachelorette meets The Deadliest Catch." LOL! I love Jimmy Kimmel
The reason Paterno could sleep was because Mrs Sandusky was also in the hotel room. Please remember the charge Sandusky was found not guilty of was the never identified boy in the shower and McQueary witness charge. Also note defense had friend of mcqueary's father who witnessed Mc Queary telling his father what he thought he may have seen testify. McQueary wasn't clear in what he saw but was afraid of what he thought he saw. It just isn't that simple. Anyhow when you look at what Joe Paterno did For students, school and the works were never football related they were library and total student body related I guess I will not believe he protected his program or legacy as the man never gave a damn about himself. He is dead now and can't defend himself so he is an easy target. And as an aside when we saw disturbing things in Westbrooke over the hours the Gosselin children were being filmed- We didn't go to the tabloids although every one of them were at my door,we wrote letters to the attorney general, the same attorney general s Office that did nothing with the 1998 Sandusky accusation from a child. We saw no investigation into what we were telling them was going on, zero. Westbrooke

Didn't know Chad Everett passed away...what a hunk and always loved him on Medical Center.
Layla, 154 -- every question you asked, those are the detailed questions that Kate should be reviewing. Probably there are 1,000 more equally logical things to think about.
Kate does NOT think ahead. She lives in the very boring or screeching moment.
Kate needs to read your post and try to respond to each of those inquiries...not for us, but for herself and her children.
The Jimmy Kimmel bit was funny. I'm guessing that Kate will tweet him the minute she hears about this. I wonder if she realizes that everyone is laughing at her and not with her. I guess that it doesn't matter becasue to her any attention is good attention. She is pitching this dating show and she may even get to film a pilot, however, just becasue you film a pilot doesn't mean that the show will ever air. Many, many pilots are show, shown to focus groups and then put back on the shelf. Sorry Kate, your the topic today becasue no one can believe your balls in shopping this idea but unless you finance it yourself I don't think that it will ever see the light of day.
Koopedoo-thanks for the link-that was hysterical! I especially liked his line "It's like the Bachelorette mee the Deadliest Catch". The faux promo was good too.
Dmasy-151-I don't know why either, but if you think about it, it's not really putting Kate in a good light. It's showing how desperate she is in her quest for fame and fortune. Although the story has spread, in the grand scheme of things, Kate is still just a little blurb in the entertainment media.
Admin, you've got to see the Jimmy Kimmel clip...hysterical! Escape from Gosselin Island, lol

She *sort of* is a hot commodity...a NEGATIVE one, kinda like octomom and Casey Anthony. Anything concerning those two hits the news instantly.
I watched the Kimmel bit, and at the mere mention of Kate's name the audience started LAUGHING.
Kate wants the limelight, but not the way she is receiving it. I'd hate to think that just the mention of my name causes laughter, scorn and ridicule.
Kate needs to wise up and wise up fast. She has nothing to offer the media. Her realist reality show sealed her long-term fate. She has no socially redeeming qualities.
Any man outed as dating Kate will face a public emasculation. I don't think Kate wants a man. I think the only thing that makes her happy is money.
And as an aside when we saw disturbing things in Westbrooke over the hours the Gosselin children were being filmed- We didn't go to the tabloids although every one of them were at my door,we wrote letters to the attorney general, the same attorney general s Office that did nothing with the 1998 Sandusky accusation from a child.

What a fantastic point. We also have tried to get Pennsylvania to listen about the Gosselin kids. For years. We've been blown off at every turn by almost everyone but Rep. Murt. The investigation ended up with nothing more than a mere slap on the wrist. Makes you wonder, if complaints about child exploitation had happened after the PSU scandal would we have been taken more seriously?
Pennsylvania has a lot of growing up to do when it comes to protecting its children.
The sheeple who tweeted that Kate potty trained six kids at 1X needs to rewatch Jon & Kate Plus 8. She potty trained the girl tups at 2 1/2 and didn't potty train the boy tups until 3 1/2. Because boys don't train as early as girls, don't you know.

I thought the same thing but didn't get around to posting it. She actually potty trained 3 at a time not 6 at a time. But does Kate correct that? Nope. She takes credit for the 6 and thanks her. She is a piece of work.
I'll do a post on the Jimmy Kimmel clip. On the one hand I laughed. On the other I feel bad for the kids. The show isn't even off the ground and they are already being publicly humiliated. Does Kate think about how her actions affect them? Of course not.
First Look on MSNBC [entertainment segment]announced that Kate Gosselin was looking to have a dating show. Then followed, to date no network picking it up yet.
&&&&
I still don't get why any of these media outlets are acting like this is a story. This is like doing a story about how did you know that President Obama could resign?
What do you mean? Is there a rumor about that or something?
Well, no, not really, I'm just saying he COULD, potentially, if all the stars align.
How stupid.
I don't think she's started filming anything yet....it's just something she would *like* to be doing.
She's been home too much recently to be filming her traveling the country looking for whatever she's looking for.
Does even realize that putting out this "dating show" could backfire big time on her? If it doesn't happen(like Twist of Kate), it'll just show again what a failure she is. She keeps throwing things out there(books,tv show) but if it doesn't happen, what does that say about her?
No matter how many articles are published, no matter how many interviews are done, it still will boil down to the same thing-nobody wants to put her back on TV.
Check, I totally agree with what you are saying. More facts that are often omitted when people saying they knew as far back as 1998. Yes they DID know and so did the cops and CPS and no one did anything back then.
Certainly, without a doubt Paterno bears responsibility. However, I do not see enough outrage towards all the other missteps that happened along the way, notably toward the many police officers and welfare services who were involved and decided "there's nothing to this." Where are their referrals and reports evaluating this out and how the heck did that happen?
Paterno has become the face of those who did not do anything. And while I think Paterno, knowing him, wouldn't mind being that person if it will help the school to just move on, it seems rather misplaced if you are aware of how huge this scandal really is involving multiple layers of agencies and people at all levels from janitors to the president of the university. I simply am not a fan of scapegoating. I think everyone involved should bear their share of the responsibility, period.
I think what is scary to think about, knowing all the people involved, is wondering if you were in that huge group of people who knew, would you be that one person who handled it differently?
I really think Kate is in a desperate position right now. She has cut back on staff (and we all know that she does not want to take care of the kids and clean that house herself), cut back on her travel habits (that's gotta hurt), seems to be begging for free child care while she's away (Jamie). I'm not saying she's broke, but she has huge expenses that can't be cut by clipping coupons. She tweeted a couple weeks back about a day of ideas (and something else, I can't remember what). She was brainstorming with someone, and this dating show was what they came up with. It's almost a year since the show was cancelled, and she is well aware of that. How humiliating to have people talk about how many YEARS it's been since you were on TV. She is teetering on the edge of mediocrity, and she's desperate to stop it.
Remember her remark recently when she was doing that morning radio show that "she might start dating again"...I knew there was a reason for it.
She was there, as usual, to promote herself...NOT a charity run. She's repulsive.
RT @KenzieHendrix 4 every1 who rags on @Kateplusmy8,just know she had2potty train 6 kids.At 1 X. #blessherheart SO SWEET&TRUE about 12 hours ago

This just still bothers me, she actually says it's true.
It's not true Kate, it's not, you know it's not and we have film to prove it. Why do you let people lie like this?
Thank God the kids will have all this footage when they're in therapy and Kate is pulling martyr victim crap like I potty trained you all at once!!!
The spot about her possibly doing a dating show was on our 8am talk radio this morning.
The hosts were completely yukking it up about how she can film anything she wants, but NOBODY wants her. Nobody. They thought the whole idea was just hilarious and beyond comprehension.

Maybe the Chiller or Thriller channels might be interested in picking up the idea for a show where a shrill, emasculating, man-eating, mother of 8, divorcee, will be aggressively hunting the country for a date...
Anyone interested?
Anyone?

She's speaking in Kate code again. Not denying, not confirming.

Bingo. NOTHING is random with her. She ALWAYS foreshadows. What a dope. She loves being oh so coy.
Who? Me? I didn't say anthing. And then she shows that stupid toothy smile.
Although we won't know the DWTS cast until Friday, I think that this whole dating show stuff was thrown out there to deflect from the fact that she wasn't asked to participate. It's got her tweeties in a frenzy and none of them is asking about DWTS.
If she isn't on DWTS, how easy for her now to say that she couldn't commit to that show because she has something else in the works. She'll make it seem like she was the one who turned it down-when in fact she was never considered.

Kate is a Twit,
Thank you! I knew there was something she put out there, but I didn't want to have to look through her tweets to find it. Reading all her self-serving garbage makes me nauseous. Thanks for taking one for the team!
Maybe I am the only one..but here is my fear. Kates 10 sheeple will blow up the votes on DWTS and get her back on the show. Kate's ego will explode as being most voted. THe public will wonder how she became popular again and say well if others like her again maybe I should. Getting her mug back on tv on DWTS will then lead to another reality show opportunity. It seems far fetched but kate is like a cockroach she doesn't go away. She finally gets out of the press and now this stupid show may bring her right back. UGH. I just wonder if kate will be able to keep up her FAKE syrupy sweetness for the show or if her sneering ugly insides will show through again this season.
I for one actually think there is a shot she will return We all know how far the sheeple will go to do the work to make kate a star again. The are far to invested in her..they NEED her to be famous again to justify their adoration. PLus then they can tell everyone their BFF is a superstar and they got her there.
Another thing to think about . If kates sheep do get her this gig they are going to want recognition and thanks from kate. The sheep will feel (and rightly so) that they brought her back into money and fame. They will want something back for their efforts so kate better not turn her back on them or it could get ugly.
GROAN at the thought of DWTS giving this bitch a platform to take a lot of easy money for little work. After her behavior the last time they should ban her. THe rating will be the same with or without her...but if shes voted in they will assume she is the rating grabber. Networks will believe it too. THis could be bad.
' Another bright happy summer day w lots of kids and fun ideas planned... Off to pick up 75 pounds of flour and 300 pounds of ch food!'
What? she needs more flour and is ch food Chinese food? Is this supposed to be a joke? If so, not funny.
EM - Let's be realistic here. The sheeple can call in maybe 10 votes each but I don't seem them having the money or resources to blow up the vote. There are more fans of real stars out there and if each one of us were to call in our votes (or vote on computer) we would be able to cancel out any calls for kate.
There is a wonderful piece by an outsider at www.indystar.com titled Bob Kravitz: Throw a flag on NCAA for piling on Penn State. Westbrooke

I do and always will have a problem with not making them bowl eligible. The innocent should not be punished. It's hard to really explain in words how hard those boys have worked their entire lives to play for Penn State and now it's all out the window. Think about that Olympic commercial with the mothers helping their children since they were tiny to get there. That's these homegrown boys. I feel terrible for them. They did nothing wrong. This also punishes the fans, alumni and students. You have to understand this isn't like a college in NY or LA, this is all there is out there. Football is life there. The school is life there.
******
I'm sorry, but this is ridiculous. Every time that a team is banned from being bowl eligible, it impacts innocent players. It doesn't matter if those players are in LA, NY or PA. The university needs to be punished severely for what it allowed to happen and retroactively voiding wins is not enough.
99% of the "boys" who worked hard their entire lives to make the PSU football team will not make it. Their lives are not destroyed as a result, nor will these players' lives be destroyed because they can't participate in post-season football. To imply that "these poor folk from Podunk, PA" have nothing else going on in their lives is condescending, to say the least.
kate doesnt realize its best for her to lay low awhile. She keeps trying to get her name in the press..but each time she does it is met with 99 percent negativity. Unless she is going with the old "any press is good press" mentality I cannot see why she would want to be subjected too exposing herself to all the negative articles and comments about her. Maybe its time to go underground from the press, work on yourself..and them try to re-emerge for a "comeback" if that what you insist on doing. You cannot come back if you never leave. kate's likablility ratings are at an all time low. Surely the best advise PR people can give her right now is to lay low and do some positive things with her life.

It's certainly true that innocent parties will suffer fallout, and I'm sorry for that. But far worse is the tragedy that befell those children. No penalties whatsoever-- NOTHING -- will recapture the their lost innocents. THEY are the true victims in this whole mess.
