Much like last year, Kate, who said she didn't have the kids for the holiday, spent her July Fourth parental alienating Jon, and organizing her desk. (Last year, Kate accused Jon of not taking the kids to church even though she asked him to, while in the same breath admitting she slept in that Sunday, and also retweeted a fan's tweet that "Jon ruined that family but she healed it," and thanked her.) One of her most disturbing and alienating tweets, tweeted on July 4 in the evening (in response to someone remarking how she was happy the kids were with Jon), is this one:
"me too. The fact that he asked, always is worth my loneliness.I'm happy for them even if it's somehow hard for both me&kids"
Perhaps Kate's behavior, and the behavior of other parents like her who hate their ex's more than they love their children, will soon be recognized for what it is, a mental health problem.
Thanks to Kate's own Reading Eagle for keeping this important topic in the news.
825 sediments (sic) from readers:
«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 800 of 825 Newer› Newest»Just how pretentious can a person be? That blog post was excruciatingly vain and snobbish.
Yes, PLEASE, a Sunset Boulevard post!!!
Joe Gillis (Purseboy): I didn't know you were planning a comeback.
Norma Desmond (kate): I hate that word. It's a return, a return to the millions of people who have never forgiven me for deserting the screen.
I have NEVER laughed so hard at one of her stupid blogs, as I did when I read this one!
Yep, this one SCREAMS that it was written by kate herself. Nearly every line had me laughing out loud, and some of your comments are just as funny.
So sad that she is so delusional, and that the children are witnessing her descent into madness. No, sheeple, I'm not being dramatic. We are watching her slowly fall apart.
Dwindle#102 - BRAVA!!! Excellent suggestions!
I used to volunteer for an organization that helped survivors of sexual assault. Looking forward to volunteering again, when my life is less hectic, and I have free time.
I'll never understand her mindset, that it was ok to have benefited from YEARS of volunteers and donations, yet she doesn't give back, unless she's being paid to do so, or it's some small donation to another family with multiples, most likely done to get some press.
I'm still stuck on the "you deserve it" crap. You can use that to justify just about ANYTHING can't you?
-Hitting up Starbucks every day instead of saving for summer camp or a nice family vacation.
-Buying new designer clothes and hitting up consignment for the kids.
-Leaving the kids alone for days at a time for regular pampering out of state
-Enjoying an evening at trendy places like Nobu or Fig and Olive while the kids get canned food
-Luxury vacations to Australia while the kids are missing you at home.
-Banging your bodyguard
Yep, just about everything and anything can be justified as long as you deserve it.
I don't know how I missed it but I have never seen Sunset Blvd.!
You need to watch it; the similarities in personality are eerie.
Half of her shocking Shoka tweets are off her page, particularly the one about rethinking her decision to keep him. Hmmm, coincidence? Doubtful. She was probably getting bombarded with negative feedback on that one!
"I thought the Jose Baez hater boards"
I read this as Joan Baez and wondered why does she have haters.
Milo's last tweet indicates she is feeling neglected by Kate. Maybe sending a gift card to Kate would help.

@Kateplusmy8 I was about 2do the same.....will I ever hear from U again? LOL I feel like I've been put in "twitter corner"! :)
Translation: I will not be ignored!!
That's the problem with playing favorites with fans and tweeting people 100 times. They start expecting it and when you want to stop they can't accept it.
Tweet a fan once or twice and it's usually fine. But start developing a relationship with them and this is what happens.

Those tweets are still there. If you're reading Kate's tweets at twitter.com, you have to click on "all" to see them. It automatically defaults to "no replies" which only shows things she tweets without replying to anyone. Twitter changed how the tweets on verified accounts show up sometime last week.
Even though it adds difficulty, I was thinking about running hard and feeling skinny (girls, you know what I mean). Anybody with me?
Here's the thing with the sheeple demographics...
Half of them are tweens, teens or early twenty-somethings who have nothing to offer her but praise and platitudes. The believe that if they have multiples they will secure a reality show and make millions, just like Kate.
The other half are in their 50s and 60s, but without the resources to provide her with any kind of cash support, gifts, or donations. These are the ones who look back on their lives, wishing that they could have had what she has now. They are living through her.
What Kate needs to find is a group of 30 to 40 year old sheeple with money...trust-fund gals, maybe with wealthy husbands, society chicks with connections. It's time to send her scouts out for some new fans who can actually do something for her. As it is now, without any kind of influential friends to latch on to, she's sinking fast.
Kate follows Milo-so Milo could also DM her. However, it looks like Kate is completely ignoring her-tweets, DM's and email.
Poor Milo-Kate hasn't tweeted her since June 29.
All this crying going on is disturbing. Sure, Kate has reasons to be depressed. Lots of reasons. But I have to wonder if her hormones are also out of whack. I remember when I was in my mid 40's I started crying at TV commercials, the nightly news, you name it. I finally, after a few years of not knowing why, went to my doctor and discovered my hormones were doing a number on me.
Many women get this way at the same age I did.
Some get it in their 30's. Some hardly notice any changes, but many of us see really remarkable changes in how we handle the world.
I had to go on thyroid meds for one thing. I also went on very mild antidepressants. It made a big difference for me. Now I cry when it is appropriate to cry, not all the time.
Kate can't seem to secure fans with a lot of money to throw around, given that so few of them were able to throw down money on the cruise and no one seems to be gifting her with all the things she's hinted about. I don't know if that's because people with money often used their brains to get it and wouldn't fall for her because that's not always true.
Here are some cut and pastes to some of Kate's most timeless and classy looks. I tried clickable links, but when I tested them some of them they didn't work. I think because some of the articles are so old. Like Kate's fame.
She deserves a prize, that was some of her most pretentious, holier-than-thou garbage she's ever written. CC should be humiliated beyond belief that they are associated with this drip. The Bossip link is Kate's lovely Abs In a can look. You know she's thinking "look at me, don't look at me, look at me, don't look at me ......

I've noticed that Kate has started branching out on her tweet friends. She has new names, not just the same ones over and over. Could be they are from Europe or Australia, or maybe they got interested in her because of running. Who knows?
Also, her most recent tweets seem to be just general announcements, not directed to any one or two people.
I still can't get over her admitting she had a personal shopper. What possessed her to think that was a wise idea to disclose such a thing? What good will it do other than make the sheeple quietly feel less-than, and everyone else roll their eyes at yet another lavish expense?
It's almost like Kate didn't get the memo: You don't talk about nannies, assistants, personal shoppers, chefs or laundry girls. You're supposed to do it all. I mean at least she's honest about how pampered she is, although in the same breath she will act like she's all on her own how will she ever make it, but good Lord woman get some media training.
I did personal shopping once as a favor for a family I was living with, the mom was a costume designer slash jack of all trades who worked for a big celeb and would delegate stuff to me sometimes. I went to Nordstroms and a few other places for the afternoon, did some returns and picked up some new stuff, and I got paid 11 bucks an hour. This was like 7 years ago. It's not huge bucks but it's not chump change either! Hardly minimum wage. And I probably should have gotten more. Still four hours of that and she was shelling out 44 bucks for me. Today I'm guessing no one would do that for less than 60.
Ha thanks for the links Wayward. Well, those are classic all right.
As in, "WTF??!!!! Classic."

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Therein lies the problem. I think Kate has had many handlers over her six years of fame. I'm sure they tried in vain to make her into a relatable human being. She appears to have refused all offers of advice. She knew better. Now she's sitting and watching 2 and 3 year old shows and crying.
It's kind of funny that she tried so hard in the early days to hide her many servants. Now, it's almost like she's casually dropping hints about celeb perks she enjoys to make people think she's still living the highlife.
I do know that even when they lived in E-Town, she eventually had "a girl" go to the Park City Mall to pick up her free Gymboree and Gap stuff. Kate had issues with the mediocre clerks saying they liked the show and looking her in the eye & stuff. And no, Linkmeister.... I don't have a link and I ain't giving up my source. I got people who know people. And we'll leave it at that.
From what I hear, those mediocre store clerks were probably more than happy to bypass dealing with Kate and to work with 'a girl' instead. Kate should be banned from ever dealing with employees in any establishment. She has no clue how to treat anyone, even those bringing food to her table. How could it possibly be so hard to just try to be polite? Oh, well, when you 'don't notice other people' I guess it's easier than I'd think.
How does one go through life not noticing other people? I don't get it. People are everywhere.

anger issues kate, you have provided some very important dog care information. I laughed when you talked about dogs chewing out squeakers in their toys. My two little fellas somehow find the strength of 10 grinches plus 2 when they are playing with their toys. They have stuffing and squeakers ripped out in minutes. The only furry dog toys that survive in our home for any length of time are the flat, unstuffed animals.
Who thinks Kate personal shopper is Steve?
I mean if he holds her purse and backpack why not choose what she wears.
well all say that he probably dresses her so I can see him shopping for her.

Oh, dear. I can SO relate.
Have you ever seen those dog toys made of that tough fire hose material? My min pin boy can even kill the squeakers in those. @@
Anthropophobia is a condition in which people experience unusual and often extreme difficulty with being around other people.
The anthropophobic is often unable to look people in the eye during a conversation ... and tends to often think others are making covert judgments about the patient’s physical attributes, intelligence, or mode of dress. What is different with a true anthropophobia definition or diagnosis is that these symptoms are not transient and are often so intense and frequent that the patient is unable to relax even in the company of people he or she loves and trusts.
A feeling of uncontrolled anxiety when exposed to people. Feel awkward in social situations and feel that others are judging her or him in social situations.
The possibility of embarrassment is paralyzing and the symptoms of panic, elevated heart rate, fear of what's coming, and a feeling of impending doom set in. If the person can't handle it he or she flees to solitude.
------------
Hmmmm. I was thinking about how she truly does go nuts around other people, especially groups. One of the few behaviors that I thought was genuine. She practically had a panic attack there in the Statue of Liberty store. And we saw some of that at Yellowstone also. Freaking cuz people were looking at her.
Although I don't know what she expects....a camera/production crew is bound to attract attention.
Maybe it was Inside Kate's World, but I seem to remember Steve telling Kate how great she looked at one time or another. I remember thinking at the time he had a hand in at least encouraging her new "corner and main after dark" look.
I was out walking my sweet black Lab tonight, and was thinking about the posts earlier about dogs proudly bringing home little dead animals to show off. My dog, when she gets out of the yard, is usually gone for 5-10 minutes, and always comes back with a yellow tennis ball!! We've never been able to solve the puzzle about where the stash is...
Wasn't Kate supposed to have a meet and greet in Florida as a way of making it up to her fans for the cruise being cancelled? When was that supposed to happen?

AAAACCCCCKKKKKKK!
The Cro-Magnan Man learning to stand upright pose, the dress that looks like it was made from one of Liberace's castoff capes, the second set of boobs peeking out of each armpit....... MY EYES! You did give fair warning... but you owe me a set of corneas Twit! I'll settle for retinas if that's all you have tho! :)
I found Sunset Blvd on youtube. I have it on as I tidy up for my doggy foster care home inspection tomorrow.
This:
"I wonder what a handwriting expert would make of that childish scrawl of hers."
and this:
"You're Norma Desmond. You used to be in silent pictures. You used to be big."
"I am big. It's the pictures that got small."
Hahahahha. I can so see Kate saying I am big it's TLC that got small!

:::::::::::
Have your people call my people! Add expensive progressive lens eyeglasses to the list of personal items that puppies chew.
I have a smallish dog and a gigantic dog. the big guy makes it his personal mission to desqueak all of the new toys. then my little guy goes to work on pulling out the stuffing--oh so very delicately. I have been buying squeaker mat toy, which have 9-12 squeakers sewn into the flat checkerboard-like quilted body and the head and tail of an animal. It takes him quite a while to get through it and, in the end, it is cheaper than the bones and chews that he can finish in a blink of an eye.
Admin--I promise that you will love that movie. I think I watched on Amazon movies, but I'm sure it is available on disc from Netflix or your local library. Here are some stills from the movie. (can't paste, link will follow)
The fourth one in is her famous line:"I'm ready for my close-up, Mr DeMille" . The guy at her right shoulder shoulder was her number one enabler Max--aka Purse Boy. Big difference between Norma and Kate is that Norma was a genuinely talented actress who was greatly respected in her time.
Here is the link to the stills:

I'm at the part where they watch TV together all night long.....but only watch HER movies. Sound familiar?
It looks like TLC is going to have a cheer moms show.
Having spent many years involved with midget football with my sons, I've spent some time around some cheer moms {shudder}
This species is as viceral and ruthless as they get. They can eat hot tar and piss out thumbtacks and not even flinch. They will make Abby Lee and the Dance moms look like June Cleaver.
Whatever was Kate thinking when she selected that dress (and that hat!) for the Kentucky Derby? As a Louisville girl, I've been to my fair share of Derby festivities. My first time going to one, I didn't know what to wear, so I asked someone who knew. If you're going to the infield, anything goes from bathing suits to formal wear. I've seen ccllege aged people in tuxedos, just for fun. If you are in the stands or if you are in a box, you wear classic
elegant clothing. That generally means your breasts are not pushing out the sides of your dress, and there is some fabric below the thigh.
Hats are a special fun thing for Derby, but I would have to guess that feather one was hot, hot, hot. I also bet she didn't keep it on her head very long. Wherever would she place it?
Right on a table, blocking others' way as they tried to eat? Would she even notice?
Some of her choices are incomprehensible to me. If my mother had dressed like that, (and my mother was a model) I would have pretended I didn't know her. It's so flashy and so inappropriate. So High School flirty.
Admin--
it gets even better---enjoy!

Another dirty little secret about store cards is sometimes employees get a commission every time they sign someone up so they'll push them on you like crazy. I don't think it's right whoever bags the most suckers gets paid the most
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Absolutely. About 100 years ago, when I was a freshman in college, I worked part time at a local department store. They offered the clerk ONE DOLLAR for every new account they had a customer open. No perks, no winning for having the most new accts. per month, just a buck. However, I realize that was just one store and the perks are prob different now. Maybe 1.50?? LOL
I agree - the store cards are the worse trap to fall into. Unless you are very aware of you finances and can pay the balances off right away...don't bother.
The heat wave finally broke, and we got some much needed rain...hope everyone is doing well.

_____________________________
Think it was at Bald Head when the tourist wanted a pic w/ Kate, Kate looked at Steve and said, "In a bikini?"--and he told her she looked great.
I've just figured out why Kate's energy is flagging. She has run out of Spice Girls to emulate!! First she was Baby Spice wearing those cutesy smock dresses, that was brief, then she flew into Scary/Sexy Spice with her gladiator shoes and micro shorts, god that was a long gross summer, then she had a go at Sporty Spice, showing up in sneakers and jogging bras, and somewhere in her mind she is Posh Spice in elegant classic clothing - totally missed that day - and now she is done, floundering, lost, blathering on a coupon blog about the person she never was.

Oh my gosh I was just vacuuming under the couch cushions and wouldn't you know it I found a Target, Best Buy and Walmart gift cards! I'm so excited to be able to finally follow the tip to use them.
*****************************
Make sure you buy classic clothes with those gift cards - even the Best Buy one!!! Not too much fabric, now, as that is more expensive!!! Save money by not buying bras!!! Save money on shoes by getting a size too small so that your toes hang out over the edge!!! Buy 7 different bikins to pose in!!! If you are organized and have a different one for every day of the week, it saves money!!! Dont waste your gift cards on buying dog food!!! Serve fresh road kill!!!
Off Topic for a minute... I want to thank ALL who gave such good advice on the vinegar topic! HunnyBunny is an auto mechanic and the summer shirts of the work uniform are NOT done by the uniform company, they have to be washed at home. No matter what I do, they always smell like grease, oil, diesel, etc. Cant bleach as they are dark maroon. But a cup in vinegar did the trick! It's like a little miracle, right here in my own wash machine.
Secondly, I just stumbled upon a book that it seems most everyone else has read except me. Letters Of A Woman Homesteader by Elinore Pruitt Stewart. What an amazing writer she was! You would think you were reading a professional author instead of a young widow writing letters back home. If you havent read it, please dont hesitate to give it a try. There is a version that is free for Kindles. http://www.amazon.com/Letters-Woman-Homesteader-ebook/dp/B000JQU1YK/ref=tmm_kin_title_0/192-4948705-6679767?ie=UTF8&m=AG56TWVU5XWC2

She does dress like a 14 year old's idea of hot and sexy. Think about it for a minute.
Mama Mia, that is SO true! How funny, Kate has run out of Spice Girls to emulate.

If you aren't on Goodreads, you should be! It's a great site to record your books and share what you are reading. It's also social and you can see what your friends are reading and get ideas for your next book. I'm BarbInNebraska over there too.
I just finished The Book Thief. I can't believe I missed this one. It's a wonderful read. It's set in Germany in 1939 to 1943.

Kate has tweeted she's been reading a couple of times lately! I think that's funny since I have never seen a book in either house except 'hers' and the children's. I am always curious where people keep their books when I visit a friend's home- my house has so many bookcases chock-full.
Not bragging- just couldn't live without them. I don't have a Kindle so...Christmas list!

Dwindle - I loved that book! I came across it looking for some free books to download. There's a website (sorry, no link hee hee) run by someone in her family, if I'm remembering that correctly. Elinore was an amazing woman. She also wrote Letters on an Elk Hunt. I haven't read that yet.
Kate is probably reading a romance novel about a distinguished gray haired unhappily married man who falls in love with his rich employer :)

Mama Mia - LOL! Perfect.
Add me to those who feel so bad for Shoka. That poor pup deserves to sleep near/on the bed of a loving human. Ours always did. We had a beagle mix. A medium size dog, always with us. She was well-fed and loved, yet she would chase and chew on a woodchuck in a heartbeat. She was great with us kids, "nursed"/snuggled many litters of kittens, but still needed a chase, I guess.
Thanks for commenting on our 'vacation'. Here is what happened the day after we got home. The resort we went to is one of the most beautiful here. That is not to brag, it is to illustrate the difference in how adults/kids see things - a point KK just won't admit.
Anyway, the next day we played on of my son's favorite games from one of his shows. It involves some costume wear for him, a "passport" with many pages, and us running through the woods/fields collecting "paw prints" from all the cats he meets. One cat in particular follows us trying to get him for it's lunch, and we come up with creative ways to fend him off. Oh, and we also pick blueberries (real) for "granny" who is waiting for us to return. It's a full hour or more of being in character (complete with accents) and letting the imagination flow. We played twice that day. That night he was sitting down, tired and said, "Mommy, this was the best day ever!".
See KK - kids are happy with the simplest things, especially if it involves your fun loving presence. It does not take a fancy resort to make the best memories.
Oh, and as a bonus, we've enjoyed blueberry muffins and a pie, too :)
I have to feel sorry for Milo. The poor soul has been trying to re-establish contact with Kate by e-mail and twitter for over a week, according to her/him and is continuing to get the cold shoulder.

OK, if she starts nicknaming the kids Cloves, Nutmeg, Thyme, etc I am going to insist on royalties for chefsummer and Admin. And I think Steve is more along the lines of CrushedNuts, then he is Mr Old Spice. Of course I am old enough to recall the sexy Mr Old Spice on TV...
So Steve isn't William Holden in this Sunset Blvd movie. Steve is her first husband/butler. The guy who will never let her know that she doesn't have a big picture coming up and isn't a star anymore.
Maybe I'm old-fashioned (or just OLD LOL), but to me business attire is well-cut trousers with a matching jacket in a neutral color, with the jacket worn buttoned over a camisole, or open or buttoned over a blouse with a soft collar or soft tie. Minimal or no cleavage. Or a skirt, worn no shorter than the top of the kneecap, with jacket. Or a dress, skirt no shorter than the top of the kneecap, with sleeves or else a matching jacket, again no or minimal cleavage. Classic means simple lines, tasteful length, tasteful or no cleavage, appropriate to the occasion, classy. When have we EVER seen KK dressed like that? The only time I've ever seen her in anything I'd consider classic (OR classy, for that matter) was the shopping trip where Jon picked out some things for her. They were tasteful, what I would consider classic, age appropriate, and could be dressed up or down. KK's blog post is a sham and a farce.
Completely and utterly OT but good for a smile.

Thanks, Rhymes. I won't go back to that site again. Glad everyone here is sane.
The Old Spice commercials with the hunky guy crack me up.

Readerlady you're not old fashioned. That's still classic and what I try to aspire to. It's not the easiest thing to do with all the other "classic" looks Kate likes out there but I've actually found that surprisingly JCPenney is a pretty good go to place for classic work clothes that fit well aren't cheap but not outrageously expensive either.

I have to feel sorry for Milo. The poor soul has been trying to re-establish contact with Kate by e-mail and twitter for over a week, according to her/him and is continuing to get the cold shoulder.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Kate threw her away after her stint as her marathon reporter was done. I imagine Milo sitting in her chair holding a picture of Kate, singing, "Now I've had the time of my life, no I never felt like this before, yes I swear it's the truth, and I owe it all to you..."
admin said, "I can't be the only one bored with the silly dramatics between the most fringe sheeple and haters on twitter. I mean really it's been over a year of this "death threat" stuff and other similar things. Yawn."
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
It's boring, silly and juvenile, and nobody ever "wins." It's the same old, same old, day in and day out. I can't imagine that those people don't get tired hanging on Twitter every day ready to pounce. I'm afraid, though, that one of these days someone (from either side) is going to blow, and things are going to come to a nasty head. It's hard to predict what form it is going to take, but it's not going to be pretty.
readerlady:
I totally agree and well-said with regard to appropriate business/classic clothing. Some of Kate's Ann Taylor's dresses were ok too for appearances ( being a TV personality and all)She just got wilder and weirder as time went by and her size went down in some areas and up ( and out)in others ! I think her hair is the worst of it, next to the 'good bra' and how she reveals it all the time.
I am sad when I see how teenage girls dress these days, really like hookers. The belly shirt is in along with pierced navels and short-shorts, see-though lace tops that you wear with a colored bra underneath, very short tube dresses (like Kate's) My daughter did not go for that look, not being in the 'cool' crowd but it's actually rather hard to find appropriate clothes for that age group. Mady and Cara are not far from the Forever 21 stage...wonder how Kate will handle that!
Thanks Twit! I didn't know that about clicking ALL to double my pleasure reading Kate's tweets....just saw she was actually considering tweeting a pic of Shoka's regurgitated meal!!
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I think that was just a joke. Even Kate wouldn't do that.
Glad everyone here is sane. 71
Yep, there's certainly something to be said for sanity. :)
I'd like to add my thanks to Admin and everyone here.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I'm guessing that in that next day or two, Milo will start deleting tweets and stop tweeting altogether. This is what she has done in the past when Kate ignores her.
Eventually, Kate gives her a shout out and asks where she is. She immediately tweets "here I am!" and then they pick up where they left off.
It's a really creepy and bizarre dynamic and it's a perfect example for Admin's advice for why celebs should not personally interact with fans. Fans can't handle it and can't make reasonable assumptions about the true nature of the relationship.
Sorry for using anonymous on my previous post - won't do it again.
Mel: here's a question, for all of us: If Kate has that fear of being around people, groups, then how can she do speaking events, or have been a cheer leader? Or run in a marathon? or be in NYC? Lots of people at those things. I think Kate just makes up the crap as she goes along, so she can avoid doing something. cause if Kate was truely afraid of people, she would not even go out the door, to malls, do speaking events, or run a marathon or be in any place, where a lot of people are.
You know guys: I truely think that it's a pure dog thing to get the squeakers out of the toys, then get the stuffing out and make sure it is all over the living room. And that classic look of : It was not us, it was the dogs that came in and did that, at the party we had while you were out. LOLOLOl. Course, when I say to them: who did that?, They look guilty and go and hide. Dogs gotta love em.
It looks like TLC is going to have a cheer moms show.
wayward said...
Having spent many years involved with midget football with my sons, I've spent some time around some cheer moms {shudder}
This species is as viceral and ruthless as they get. They can eat hot tar and piss out thumbtacks and not even flinch. They will make Abby Lee and the Dance moms look like June Cleaver.
________________
So true... I am the throws of Pop Warner now. I have 8 year old boy/girl twins. I told my daughter from the get-go there would be no cheerleading - yes, their reputation is that bad (here, at least). She plays football with her brother instead. Not that football parents are THAT much better but they are tolerable.
Kate is apparently getting freebies and has some endorsement deal with Bella bar, hence her tweet. This isn't the first time she has talked about them either.
Actually Kate doesn't look bad when she does dress in classier dresses - she rarely wears slacks with a little jacket or sweater - but she walks with all the grace of a bull moose. She might be able to dress nicely on occasion but those clothes can't cover up the fact that she's not a refined woman. She'd better stick with the tawdry outfits that reflect her personality.
I think it would really by funny if someone (Sue Buddy?) wrote a commentary on Kate's latest CC post about her choosing non-trendy, classic attire, accompanied by photos of her in her satin shorts, hooker heels, daisy dukes and red shoes, and her tops with all four boobs hanging out. Visuals would be particularly effective.
Why does Kate continue to write this stuff, therefore making herself more of a laughingstock than she already is?

It appears that KG has moved on from Joan Crawford and is now in full blown Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson in "Sunset Boulevard") mode - watching old movies of her past life while preparing for a comeback that will never happen.

Next thing we know she will have moved on to Bette Davis in "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane"...
Dr Shelby: I don't understand. Is this some kind of emotional disturbance you're talking about?
Blanche: YES, she's emotionally disturbed. She's unbalanced!!!

wayward - Absolutely, completely, totally agree. That blog was one of the biggest loads of horsesh*t she's dumped on CC yet. Thanks for the links to the photos that show the hyprocrisy of that blatanly bogus bitch. (I'm still really pissed about her treatment of Shoka)
Shes posting to use her name for free shipping on the bella bars however their face book is offering the free shipping without her name in code. Wondering if she is doing the following for income

Kate has tweeted she's been reading a couple of times lately! I think that's funny since I have never seen a book in either house except 'hers' and the children's.
______________________________________
She just said she was reading...could it be that she is reading here and not a book?
Wouldn't surprise me.
Geez. Four tweets in a row about Bella Bars. Does she get paid by the tweet? At least she can do this at home with the kids. I guess some companies are still willing to invest in Kate's notoriety. Make note to myself: do not buy Bella Bars.
Bella Bars now? Wasn't Kate hyping another bar a week ago?
I guess she found another company to pay her for doing nothing..... Bella Bars? Is this like a second job or something? You know...she's already breaking her back over at CC.
I think Kate had gone into twitter hiding...her pics are gone and she isn't really twittering anymore...anyone agree
Kat,
I went to Bella Bars website, but did not enter their Facebook. What's odd about the website is that it does not list an address, not even city/state. Working my way around the website I noticed that a person can be a seller of Bella Bars. and if you have your friends sign up on Facebook you (yourself) make money. This is how Kate is making money, by having her bestest friends signup on facebook.
Interesting to note that Kate never mentioned Bella Bars before.
another cruise idea from Kate Gosselin: Buy BELLA BARS using coupon code "KATE". She may get 25 cents per carton. LOL She must need another "business attire"
She's "tried every bar"...wow. Sounds like a drinking problem to me! ;)
On another note - shared with hubby your comments on his recent trip. His response: D*mn woman! Now they won't buy the book. I responded: What book? He responded yet again: Well now it's ruined.
And off he went to his office to do REAL work (the kind I can invoice and get REAL money).
Lets count to see how many things Kates been addicted to.....She gets addicted fast when money's involved. Lying piece of garbage...

Ah, but it's just that sediment that sums Khate up: she DOES NOT deserve any of the positive things she's received. And a lot of people who really do deserve them are the ones who would argue that they don't. That they're just doing their job, or just being a normal, kind, human being.
First, Kate has NO IDEA what "classic" clothing is...she's such a moron.
Barf up a Bella Bar, Bitch...you shameless grifter. What you do should be against the law.
If a guy tweeted this to you, wouldn't it creep you out?

@Kateplusmy8 Good night, kiss the kids for me!
Then after she tweeted her Bella Bar grifting, he tweeted this...

@Kateplusmy8 How do they make the bar
Stupid and scary at the same time! UGH!
Tj@90....somewhat agree...she has really backed off lately on her tweets. She can't stop all together...it seems like for now it's her new career. Companys are using her(throwing her a bone)to promote their products. What she's making doing this..is anybodys guess. Does anyone know how this works??

I'm going to have to blame Beth, however innocently she meant it, for giving her the idea that she 'deserves it '. It was the episode where Jon made Kate breakfast in bed and she said there should be Mothers Day once a month. Then she and Beth went to the spa as a M/D present and while they were sitting there getting pampered she told Kate she deserved it all because it made her a better mommy. It went straight to her head and it's been stuck there ever since.
I cannot grasp her self centered approach to Shoka's distress. No twitter reports on his welfare (or whereabouts) -- just her reaction to the smell.
--------------
It's the exact same reaction she had to her 4 year old son when he vomited. Actually, odd as it may seem, I've often found that people who treat humans with such disdain and hate are often great with animals. Guess Khate isn't one of them. She treats everyone, except Skeeve Pinkerton, badly.
The G kids have been forced to watch an edited version of their lives since they were 3. I remember being shocked that their parents played DVDs of Plus 8 during every naptime. And that's not even getting into the fact that there should NEVER be televisions in children's rooms, let alone playing while they are trying to sleep.
Good Lord...Milo is still kissing ass. She wants the bars of course but doesn't have facebook. Oh the humanity!! What a tragedy....I pity this woman...I hope she eats them and gets diarrhea...
What are B. Bars? Never heard of them before she started begging --- I meant grifting for them.
I took one for the team and checked out the Bella store.
WOW, Grifty....your career ambitions know no bounds.
Its a pyramid scheme. Of course, its not surprising that Grifty looks for "work" that requires minimal effort on her part. This is a word for word quote on the info page of Bella Bars.. "Our unique affiliate program allows you to generate a solid income, with little work by you"
Typical Grifty.
I'm sitting here just shaking my head. All that can be said about her has been said...lazy, lazy, lazy, lazy, horrible mother, homewrecker, tramp, liar, lazy, lazy, you get my point.
37 years old and trying to make a living selling raw bars that nobody has heard of. Wow. Just, wow....
Sorry....I forgot to add something...
One of the ingredients listed on a couple of the raw bars is hemp seed or hemp oil.....sooo....is Grifty becoming a drug dealer??

If you could make boatloads hawking vegan bars everyone would do it. Please.
I'm betting with the amount f followers she has she could make 500 to 600 bucks a month tops on things like this if she worked her butt off seeking out great advertisers. Hardly a living. Unless you are a huge Internet presence you can't make much money. Most people blog for fun. Few can for a living.
First of all, the people Kate is targeting will have to LIKE raw vegan bars. In a very Hershey chocolate bar world, I can't believe there will be too many who will even try the much less be repeat customers. Of course I could be very wrong, but there seems to me to be a very specific demographic on these bars.
Do they all tweet with Kate? And Kate is hardly the only person who has a special code to be credited for sales.
And aren't these bars quite expensive, and have to be delivered to you? It would be cheaper and more logical to simply buy your protein nut bars when you are in the grocery store.
If you look at the Bella Bar twitter site you can see that they have some program where you can sign up to sell the bars. Each case of 12 that you sell for $19, you apparently get $6 for yourself. This is what Kate is doing. Pretty pathetic.
And then bars are part of the "raw food" craze, so this will be Kate's new thing---how she only eats raw food.
Milo is in a tizzy over the Bella Bar -- wants a link from Twitter to be able to order them!
A multitude of sheeple continue to be in a feeding frenzy over seeing pictures of the child who got braces. They just won't let it go.
Oh, geez...I suppose Kate's six to ten fans will now take a small chunk out of their social security or disability checks to buy Bella Bars to show their support! However, I don't think the small chump change Kate will make off this venture will quite help to continue her lifestyle. Man, is she a real piece of work.
I don't even know what Bella Bars are--nor do I care to know.
Bella Bars now? Wasn't Kate hyping another bar a week ago?

Wasn't she addicted to Cascadian Farms bars?
Amy2 ---
As for pampering myself, my lunch hour is over time to go back to work. Yes, work. I'll make sure my family is fed, clothed, healthy and loved. Then, and only then, will I think about myself. You see, I live in the real world where I work to provide for my family. Not my family working to provide for me to be pampered.
-----------------
Couldn't have said it better myself. My idea of pampering myself usually consists of taking an afternoon nap on the rare Saturday or Sunday that I have to myself. It's free, it's a luxury I don't often get, and I'm refreshed afterwards.
I can't imagine why CC keeps Kate on as a blogger, except that perhaps they signed her to a year-long contract, or agreed to pay her a flat fee for a certain number of monthly blogs? I really doubt she is generating any more business for their site than they had before.
Actually Kate doesn't look bad when she does dress in classier dresses - she rarely wears slacks with a little jacket or sweater - but she walks with all the grace of a bull moose.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
HEY! Watch it!
..oh it was Dean & Deluca. Also Mini Rice Cakes for the addiction list. Fig & Olive, Nobu, too.
Kateplusmy8: WOW,have you tried the Bella Bar? It is so healthy and delicious! I'm eating one right now.....I'm totally addicted!

Oh give it up Kate.
It's no use. She can't even promote a simple thing like a protein bar without sounding tacky.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Lol..... that makes exactly 3 more tweets than she did for the Ab Chump.
There again is a company that paid her to make a commercial, at the beach no less, and she never ever promoted or mentioned them again. As per usual, once the payment for service was made, Kate was done providing them anymore of her invaluble promotion. And really, they should thank her for that.
We all know Kate gets her jollies by rolling up on the fire lane at the UPS store to pick up her free swag. I think she's getting free Bella bars + a fee for twatting about them (albeit a likely very small one.) They have 200-210 calories apiece, so I imagine one bar is 1/2 her calorie intake for the day.
Sheeple want these shipped to the UK, to South Africa. If Kate tweeted that she's eating chocolate-covered pigeon droppings, would the fans go nuts and order them?
I guess I'm clueless, but a Bella Bar has the same number of calories and carbs as a Hershey Bar. Why the sheeple hysteria over these things?
I took the bait and looked at Bella Bars but not on face book. I had envisioned them as something like that pic of the bizarre looking veggie burger on a stick. Of course, they are luxury. They do sound good but expensive. We will not hear the end of it until she has a hoard in the closet that will last her till the end of time if she has found a way to get them for free.
I'm sorry, but why would anybody eat a processed bar instead of real food.
A tweetie is asking Kate if she's posted the peanut butter bread recipe yet and Kate says "soon".
Oh dear. Does this poor tweetie know she can google a recipe and in about 0.35 seconds she'd have thousands of variations of it? But she's waiting for Kate to post hers. Oy.
Anyway, I'm going to keep an eye out to see if Kate's PB bread recipe is the same as Paula Deen's. It's extremely difficult. (snark)
Connie Schickowski@proudmama121974 @Kateplusmy8 Did you post the peanut butter bread recipe yet?

Kate is a twit said... 9
Those tweets are still there. If you're reading Kate's tweets at twitter.com, you have to click on "all" to see them. It automatically defaults to "no replies" which only shows things she tweets without replying to anyone. Twitter changed how the tweets on verified accounts show up sometime last week.
Oh okay, thank you! :)
I absolutely have to say this. I do think that Steve thought "Kate had something that drew the viewers, not Jon" and he went and became her manager. She went from being a Mom in KJ8 to a slut in K8 with the clothing, the implants, well you get the picture right
But he never, ever realized she was not his ticket out of being a bodyguard because "she is not that bright, seriously, we are talking about a very, very small town person who never, ever "could be told what to do" nor is she the type of person "who thinks she needs improvement as far as the Media is concerned" When Carrie Ann made that statement about Kate being unaware of herself, she was "spot on with that one"...Kate looks in a mirror and see PERFECT and she does not see "skirt too short, breasts too large, blouse exposes breasts, shoes too high, legs too short or even heels need to be replaced on high heels (I mean those heels she wore with that Aluminum dress on Dr. Drew's show and her toes hang out, wrong size shoe) well Steve has bought himself One Very Big Headache. He put her on Twitter and when she was crying about the TV shows, watching them with the kids and crying her eyes out" know what I thought of? She put that on Twitter as a message to Steve.......maybe somewhere along the line, TLC did offer her something but Steve advised her "I can get you something better, let's wait until all the offers come in, let's just go independent, I'll handle your management"

What's next, Kate? Amway? Good Gosh, woman, just get a job, you lazy sack of uselessness.
Somethings up! Somethings up! Somethings up!
Kate has removed all but 2 pictures from her twitter feed, and when I tried to google her website, the link comes up, but when you click it, it says URL not found.
anyone else find this also???
Also think that Kate cannot, cannot go out now, she has to have a job, she has no job, so she cannot run around town or in and out of the post office, etc., with her pink phone in hand, no one is calling. No one, not even her constant phone calls to Steve get answered. Remember he only shows up when she is going someplace. He tried so hard to control her temper, her outbursts like she is Meryl Streep and can just flaunt her career over your head. She has nothing but those films and some books that no longer sell.
This is a woman who during the divorce had 10 million viewers. When she was on The Talk, after being off the air, she said "I had never paid attention to the ratings, but NOW I understand them" plus she was a roaring, maniac in the streets of New York and on Ellis Island, she was yelling at people when she was trying to take photo of her 8 kids, others were taking photos and Kate yelled "email the pictures of MY KIDS" and she was downright nasty to those people. You all must remember, they were in that gift shop on Ellis Island and it got crowded and some little old woman was holding the door and she said to Kate, "How are you" and Kate said, "Well, I was fine until now, Steve do you have them all, it's getting crowded" and she was so pissed. She screams at people, not just Ashley and Jaime, remember that poor guy that ran the Bungee Jump? She was all over him and so mean, nasty. That is her personality. She is not shy, no way do I believe that. She is a roaring lion when people are just doing their jobs.
Nope, the bitch is crazy and that is all. Plus she ain't never gonna work in that town again.......I don't know who said that but someone said it in a movie, which meant the bitch is blackballed and Kate is blackballed. Steve cannot get her any more work than hawking some protein bar. We are probably the most publicity she gets. So her haters, not my word, are really her P,R. machine.
Sorry no pay folks. Remember Kate has no sympathy for anyone, not even her kids, her sons should be out running around, playing and she has them doing what the girls do.
Oh I think Mady will go Forever 21 but not Cara. Cara is different.
BTW, business attire is no cleavage, none. Where I work, I can't even wear open toe shoes. Business, strictly business attire, Admin as you know, we have to wear earthtones, jacket/skirts almost to knee when sitting/slacks (2 inches in waistline, so not binding up our butts and absolutely no perfume, just nice scented soaps and lotions. Nada on the perfumes, right Admin? Dress down day is non existent in some areas of work and ours is one.
Yeah, so this is what it has come to. Hawking veggie bars and getting pennies on the dollar from Facebook pals. At least she is trying. I never heard of this bar or using Facebook to get a little pin money, but not so great for earning a living. I'm thinkin' Steve has said buh-bye. We shall see. I think she'll make up some excuse and be a no show if Steve doesn't go. This would be precedent breaking.
It might just be a glitch, as when I went to her actual twitter feed and clicked on hr link to the " Guess what time it is, time for corn" photo, it did link to that picture of the kids eating conr. However you can not access it from her main feed line. if that makes sense....
"She just said she was reading"
Maybe she's reading the book she's trying to stop the publication of.
Somebody asked what RWA was. It's the site realitywithoutapologies.com. They have some great comments about Kate, but they discuss the sheeple, and that gets old.
I had forgotten about the meet and greet she was supposed to do before the cruise. That will be in August. I wonder how many fans are still going on the cruise.
Oh Man....I thought that maybe they would want her because she is Kate Gosselin. Is this something she signed up for like any average Joe would do? THIS IS BEYOND SAD...I can't even believe how low she has sunk. Have a little dignity and get off you flat orange ass and get a real job. Is this as bad as it looks???
Now we know why she's been so quiet...she's been researching internet business opportunities.....This is mind blowing...
Either my comment was lost in cyberspace or it was deleted. I'll try again.
How many people are willing to purchase raw vegan bars in bulk? I feel sure you can't just buy one bar, but would be required to buy at least 12. And they are not cheap. I know this because Kate would not pay for her own. So, if you buy them and hate them, you've got some pretty expensive bird food on your hands.
This looks to me like aa failure waiting to happen. Add this to Kate's list of Things That Went Thud.
Summerwind: why the hysteria? Cause, to the Kate sheeple/fan, it is endorsed by Kate. Kate eats it, they will eat it. Kate is their leader, God, idol, whatever Kate says or does, her fans will support, without question. Kate can do no wrong in their heads. Some of the CC commentors, believe every thing Kate says to be truth, and think she is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
To me she is a grifter, lair, and a big phony!
She's also addicted to almonds....
I've always found it very odd that no one has ever posted about seeing Steve in Wernersville. It's like he just magically appears at the airport/ location to which they are traveling.
Any thoughts?

WOW,have you tried Franzia boxed wine? It is so healthy and delicious, especially the "Fruity Red Sangria" flavor because it has fruit in it! I'm drinking some right now.....I'm totally addicted!
Admin,
If you do a post about Kate's "classy" attire, please oh please include one in which she's wearing a rhinestone-studded T-shirt with BELLA stretched in pink sparkly letters across her chest.
NOW WE ALL KNOW KATE....YOU'RE IN TROUBLE...JUST GAVE YOURSELF AWAY AGAIN...THIS IS THE DEFINITION OF DESPERATION
Meagler @142 - Her web site came up just fine for me.
I just want to post that I have taken Kate's blog advice and booked myself a massage because I DESERVE it. And I am using an e-mail coupon. Seriously, I did book one because e-mail coupon came yesterday, and since it was our anniversary, I thought that was karmic. And I DESERVE it.
Twit-twat and bella bars - she does not recognize ye olde pyramid scheme. Maybe her 4 sheeple will buy enough for her next Fig&Olive lunch.
Otherwise, she's either bored with twiiter, or has been told to STFU - either way, pretty delightful, unless you're Milo.
Wayward, I am laughing so hard, I might wet myself. It has to be so difficult for some poor sap who is housebound and gets pulled into one of Kate's traps and kisses butt and then Kate flicks them off like she does the dog. But I have to laugh because why would you do that, get hooked up with someone like Kate. Her own family got kicked in the teeth by her. I just read her CC blog and I had to laugh, really laugh at what she said. Go into a store and open a credit account because you can get a discount on your purchase? Doesn't that screw up your credit rating every darn time you do that? Don't open new accts, don't close the old ones that are inactive, when they send you a new card with that 800 # on it, do not call it, just shredd the card, eventually it falls off of your credit rating. But open an account to buy $400 worth of clothes for herself and get 50% off for opening an acct is worth it? No.
You gals who have to wear business attire, keep track of the stores you go to, sign on for updates of sales, you will get 3 or 4 Sale notices but eventually you will get a Clearance Sale notice, that is the bottom line sale and you usually can order on line (peruse the store at the beginning of the season to touch the materials, as Clearance Sales are final sales, usually) and you can get a $200 jacket for $30.00. Look for Clearance Stores when you go to an outlet. What I found out a couple of weeks ago while in Mass. that Talbot's has Outlet Stores (not the big sales) but Talbot's also has Clearance Stores (the real sales, all winter coats not over $35.00) these were $300 and $400.00 mohair coats, all kinds of wools and now "they just want them gone" and since they are "classic" they can be worn every year, even 20 yrs straight if it lasts, cleaning kicks the heck out of anything. Just an idea. Talbot's has lovely dress up or dress down clothes and nothing is worth what you pay retail in that store but if you stalk them on the Internet, any store, you will eventually get what you want half way thru the Season or definitely at the end of the Season. Happy Shopping. You know you deserve that $400 coat and you do not have to open a credit account to get it for $30, just find a Clearance Store. Same thing with QVC, they have outlets and clearance stores. Who knew? Not me, until I talked to the GM at that store in Mass. and yes, look at clothes carefully at consignment shops, people alter things, you cannot assume that it says 12, it is 12 if you "ran hard and are skinny" and you can't use a sewing machine so you go to a tailor and have it altered. Check out www.infdaily.com and click on our Kate's face for their version of her gardening wear. Just wonderful. I got wordy today, sorry.
...Kate is also addicted to shewing gum- don't know what brand!
PS don't chew it with your business attire, Kate!
Here is a link to Kate's photos it from her second photo account.

Nieces and I are off the hot dog roast ... packed the matches just in case we can't start the fire from rubbing sticks! Hot dogs because we didn't catch any fish earlier.

Actually Kate doesn't look bad when she does dress in classier dresses - she rarely wears slacks with a little jacket or sweater - but she walks with all the grace of a bull moose.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
HEY! Watch it!

lol! Oops, sorry Moose!
She's definitely no ballerina. She's more like that bigfoot in the famous Patterson film.

I'm sorry, but why would anybody eat a processed bar instead of real food.
====
Have you seen Kate's real food?
Let's not forget this "addiction" -- after doing the Food Bank episode, Kate said she was "addicted to giving" (or was it "helping?"). But apparently she was lucky enough to find a 12-step program to get that horrible problem under control. Maybe she meant to say she was addicted to giving or helping when TLC pays her way there and back, foots the bill for hair and make-up and bodyguard and nannies and accommodations, and tops it off with her per-episode salary? Oh, and the cameras must be rolling. There's the primary addiction in my opinion -- the attention.
How long before we see Kate selling time share properties in Vegas?

Vegemite. Remember how she went on and on about how wonderfully addictive it was? To die for even. Everytime someone grifts her a freebie, right away she's wired to it.
As soon as she saw "with little work by you" Kate Was on board!!! Bella bars all the way!
Sure it's not a lot of work to put a code on a web site and tweet some promotions. But it's sure a lot of work to run a big web site and attract lots of viewers which translate into money. Most web sites that bank anything worth writing home about have a full time staff of writers and designers. It's not advertising that's the work at all, it's keeping a great web site running and viewers coming.

BTW, business attire is no cleavage, none. Where I work, I can't even wear open toe shoes. Business, strictly business attire, Admin as you know, we have to wear earthtones, jacket/skirts almost to knee when sitting/slacks (2 inches in waistline, so not binding up our butts and absolutely no perfume, just nice scented soaps and lotions. Nada on the perfumes, right Admin? Dress down day is non existent in some areas of work and ours is one.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
For my place it is no cleavage, no bellies ever, no sleevless anything. Skirts to the knee or solid color slacks without outside double seams (like jeans have). Shirts/blouses tucked in with a belt OR must wear a jacket. Slacks must be touching the top of the shoe and full socks or stockings at all time. Absolutely no unstockinged ankles. THAT is grounds to be sent home and I myself have had to send home those that report to me. Never ever an opentoed shoe and heels no higher than (I think) 1 3/4 inches. There are regulation on nails too, length and color. No dangling earrings, although we all wear a small drop earring all the time. In other words, dont come to work and represent our company looking like a circus freak on her way to pick up johns at the beach.
Kate's addiction -- the Cascadian Farm bar. If they see her slobbering over the Bella Bar, I betcha they won't be sending her any more freebies!
"Otherwise, she's either bored with twiiter, or has been told to STFU - either way, pretty delightful, unless you're Milo."
%%%%%%
I think we can all thank the good lord that we are NOT Milo, nor members of her household.
Just read an article about Jon and Kate reconciling for a tv show...or alluding to it anyway AND they got that idea from Kate's tweet about watching the old episodes and crying. Apparently they think when she said "we all agree" they assumed the "we" included Jon as well. Even the media sites are pulling info out of the same orfis that Kate is pulling Bella Bar business.

Dmasy, are these your young GREATnieces? Sounds like you are having a ball!
My nephew has just filed papers to alter visitation, 'offering' his ex wife 4 hours a week of supervised visitation with their 12 month old daughter, with me as the person supervising. I am so flattered. The current order is not working out, (the mommy isnt showing up and/or isnt at home when he goes to take the baby to her) so he is asking that she visit the baby at my house with me here. That way if she doesnt show, Baby can still have a nice CALM afternoon with Auntie Dwindle, and if she DOES show, I am still here to make sure Baby remains cared for. (Mommy cant seem to manage to keep Baby warm, dry, fed, safe etc.) If the current arrangement goes on much longer, Baby will become aware that Mommy is standing her up. I will make sure Baby doesnt know we are waiting for Mommy, I dont want that disappointment on her. If Mommy arrives it will be a Surprise!
I am open to any comments you guys want to make.
I'm guessing that in that next day or two, Milo will start deleting tweets and stop tweeting altogether. This is what she has done in the past when Kate ignores her.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
You're right, Wayward. I had forgotten about that. She has done that several times in the past. She disappears, goes away sulking, but you know darn well she's there reading every tweet in hopes of a word, just one word, from her idol. It must be pathetic to live like that, knowing that you can be dismissed at any time, but never believing it will actually happen because you have convinced yourself that you have established an intimate connection with someone you have never met.
Bella Bars may be Vegan & organic, but each bar has 17 grams of sugar & 11 grams of fat.
Kate's a scary ex-nurse. Shouldn't she be endorsing produce instead?
Looks like Kate really does not care about her sheeple's health. As long as they use the coupon code(Kate), she makes money- and isn't that what it's all about Katie Irene... fleecing your willing sheep?
$$$Money$$$money$$$money$$$
Add Newman fig bars - she must have scored a boatload of those for her hoard, hasn't mentioned them in a long time. They were of course at one time all the rage.
Ho my Lord, she's engaging in a pyramid scheme online to make a few bucks. And I do mean a FEW. No one makes anything you can even remotely live on with those things. This is really making me laugh. What desperation! She has a nursing license! No need to make $15 a month getting people to buy raw vegan bars when she COULD have a career. She's sooooo allergic to real work it's ridiculous.
This makes me think her job/contract with CC is about to end. Didn't she start "blogging" (I use the term loosely) a year ago this fall? They probably signed her on for a year. And I never thought that was for much money, either, though certainly more than the few pennies she might get selling raw vegan bars in a pyramid scheme.
Heather, I've been thinking the same thing for a while now: Steve is gone. And even before he was gone, he only showed up to babysit her if she was going out of town. Help her understand how to walk. Help her understand how to get in and out of cars. Help her find her terminal in an airport, things like that.
One year next month since cancellation.
Tamara 109 -- It was a Lifetime Movie, but it was based on a real case, in Texas. Lifetime sort of played it for comedy, though.
KK twatted about Bella Bars before and I was curious, so I looked them up on the internet. They are VERY expensive and not all that healthy, either. High in carbs and high in fats (although most of the fats seem to come from nuts, so healthier than if from some other source) for the size of the bar. They didn't sound all that tasty, frankly.
Admin, I meant to say earlier and forgot -- Not all personal shoppers cost money. When I was in college I worked at a major department store in Columbus, Ohio, and they had personal shoppers available for customers at no extra charge. It was part of the service. Of course, that was back in the dark ages, so things may have changed since then. I actually used one of the shoppers when I graduated from college. Most of my attire had been jeans/tees/sweats and I needed some professional wear but didn't have time to wander all over the store looking for clothes in my size and price range.

Oh I'd love to tackle a fashion post about Kate's "classic" look lol. Maybe later today.
=====
Oh PLEASE do Admin. She deserves a spanking for writing so many lies in one blog entry.
=========================
I agree, she is "classic" alright, but not in the fashion sense. What goes on in her head is beyond me. Let the spankings begin.....
OMG - seriously! This is the kind of thing you try out at 10 yrs old thinking you will make big money. LOL... Do you remember those ads in the back of magazines? I think I filled out and sent for greeting cards to sell. I would get a percentage of the sale. I had BIG plans for that money. LOLOL! It fits, her mentality is stunted right about there - jeez, she sure is providing the laughs! It would be a whole lot funnier if there weren't eight children having to live it.
I wonder if Beth feels any guilt about the roll she played the abuse and exploitation of the G kids? Whatever she made off that book should be considered blood money.
Summerwind said... 126
Bella Bars now? Wasn't Kate hyping another bar a week ago?
-----
Wasn't she addicted to Cascadian Farms bars?
======================
I think she is scraping bottom- any company that will give her freebies or pay her is good enough for her. Thus all of the product endorsements with CC's to companies- she lives to grift. God only knows how many private emails she sends to companies looking for freebies. Very sick and sad at the same time. She just won't stop, part of her nature.
"Wasn't it a cheer mom who killed another girl to get her daughter on the squad? Or was that just a Lifetime movie?"
Wanda Holloway hired someone to kill the girl's mother so the girl would be so sad about her mother's death she wouldn't want to be on the squad. Therefore Holloway's daughter could take her spot. This was a true story made into a movie. I guess we can file this under crazy mothers along with Kate. Hopefully, Kate wouldn't be this bad.

It appears that KG has moved on from Joan Crawford and is now in full blown Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson in "Sunset Boulevard") mode - watching old movies of her past life while preparing for a comeback that will never happen.
---------------------------
Next thing we know she will have moved on to Bette Davis in "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane"...
Dr Shelby: I don't understand. Is this some kind of emotional disturbance you're talking about?
Blanche: YES, she's emotionally disturbed. She's unbalanced!!!
~~~~~~~~~
Jane: You don't think I remember anything, do you? There are a whole lot of things I remember. And you never paid for this house. Baby Jane Hudson made the money that paid for this house, that's who!
---------------------
Now this is a CLASSIC post! Truly on par.
The real joke re: pnut butter bread recipe is that there is NO reason that she has not had time to post it. Ok maybe she forgot she had promised it in one of her twats, and we'll forget for a moment that she did jacks@&t nothing over the long holiday, but when asked several hours ago, a truly organized person would not say 'soon' and drop it. This is supposed to be her BRAND, so just whip it out and post it. So stoopid.
fidosmommy said... 149
This looks to me like aa failure waiting to happen. Add this to Kate's list of Things That Went Thud.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
whatever came of that infomercial she did with that little piece of excercize equipment? She hardly kney how to use it, and seemed so annoyed that she had to try it on film.

KAT said... 147
Oh Man....I thought that maybe they would want her because she is Kate Gosselin. Is this something she signed up for like any average Joe would do? THIS IS BEYOND SAD...I can't even believe how low she has sunk. Have a little dignity and get off you flat orange ass and get a real job. Is this as bad as it looks???
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I think so, Kat. My sister went through this, not with these bars, but with other things, trying one scheme after another to bring in a few bucks using only her computer. Kate may have had to shell out a few dollars in order to get the Facebook App for this, I am not sure. The money goes to the person who recruited you, like a pyramid. My sis also tried building game apps, whenever someone would click on her game she would get a couple of bucks. She also tried (I kid you not ladies) being a phone sex operator. My sister didnt have a car for about 60 hours a week; I wonder what Kate's excuse is.
-------------------------
OrangeCrush said... 156
Twit-twat and bella bars - she does not recognize ye olde pyramid scheme.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I thought the same thing.
Next she'll be hosting online candle parties, Pampered Chef, Tupperware, and sex toys. But all online, so she doesnt have to actually deal with the mediocre folks, only their money.
Can anyone pinpoint the exact time Khate went hooker? (And cheap hooker at that....) I want to say it was around the time of the balloon ride in Florida.
Hello all, we are back from vacation and I thought I'd check in. So, what's new in Kate's quest for stardom these days? Nothing. Go figure. The wanna-be star is hawking protein bars. Looks like she's getting a little hard-up for money.
So, my family took a wonderful trip that we scrimped and saved forever for. How mediocre of us. But then again, my family got a European vacation and Kate's kids are spending the summer in the basement. So, who's mediocre now?
I don't know why they call those vegan bars, the ones I saw were fruit and nut and yogurt. I didn't see any vegetables. Maybe they put purple carrots in them like V8 Fusion that I got for my son for a while. But his nutritionist said do not ever, under any circumstances drink your calories (if you are trying to lose or maintain weight). Only skim milk and that is one serving a day. She says save all calorie intake for food and learn to love water with a little lemon or mint.
I've skimmed through many of the posts and I have to say that I agree about Kate scraping the bottom of the barrel now. It seems she will do anything, no matter how embarassing, to keep from having to get a REAL job. You know, filling out an application, going on an interview, if accepted getting up and actually leaving the house to work 40 hours a week.
NONE of the things she is attempting through twitter or a blog is going to pay the mortgage on the house, or the other necessary expenses such as utilities, food, clothing for growing kids, and school expenses.
Maybe she can live on what she has for awhile, but it's not going to last her for 10 more years! Sooner, rather than later, Kate is going to have to accept that fact. But she is going to fight it as long as possible. However it won't be as long as she thinks.
It is sad to watch, and sad to know that the kids have to experience it first hand.

As soon as she saw "with little work by you" Kate Was on board!!! Bella bars all the way!
------------------------
I could not agree more :)
I know what a pyramid scheme is - a Ponzi scheme, a Madoff scheme, whatever else you want to call it.
What I don't know is how the Bella Bar deal is a pyramid scheme. It seems like a different setup to me.
Could someone kindly explain? Thanks.
Also, I don't think Kate is trying to grift freebies with these tweets; I think she is trying to get a contract job as a spokesperson for the company. In my opinion, she is delusional enough to think that if she brags about the product on twitter, some big exec will see it and think, "hey, why don't we hire Kate Gosselin to promote our product? She's loves it and she's a celebrity!".
Unfortunately, she is not going to get the big million dollar endorsement deal that other celebrities and sports stars get from Nike, Hanes, etc. But being as delusional as she is, I do believe that she thinks if she puts out enough feelers, one company might offer her that.
It's not happening, Kate, so it's time to look through your local papers want ads. You may have waited too long so the high school kids may have the summer jobs at McDonalds already.

Wow! Thank you! There's a Talbot's Clearance Store (dangerously) close to me. I am so psyched!
Mel: here's a question, for all of us: If Kate has that fear of being around people, groups, then how can she do speaking events, or have been a cheer leader? Or run in a marathon? or be in NYC?
I know. I thought about that too. I think it's something to do with people being able to arbitrarily approach her that she can't handle.
Speaking events, cheerleading, she's in control of who and how she's approached. Whereas at the grocery store random people (read low-lifes) can like omg think they can talk to her!
I don't know, but it sure is interesting trying to figure it out. I have an ex-sil who is much the same about public contact, and I've never figured her out either.
Addictions:
Babies; she had to have 'just one more'.
Spas
Some face cream she was calling botox in a jar or something
Real Botox
Fish in paper (WTH?)
Running or jogging or trotting, whatever it is she actually does.
Gosselin Family Traditions that she has yet to make up.
The label on the Bella bar says "no added sugar", but then Agave syrup is listed in the ingredients. While I am sure that the dried dates provide some of the sugar content in the bar, it is impossible to know how much of the sugar content is from the Agave syrup.
@chefsummer -
How about Bitchy Spice?
Trampy Spice
Booby Spice
Lazy Spice (her costume could be a white plastic chair glued to her butt; "Kate, have a chair." "No Thanks, I bring my own right here on my ass...")
Hand Flap Spice
Screeching Spice
Red Spoon Spice
and now... Pyramid Spice!
I'm not sure so much it's a pyramid scheme so much as it's just not the best way to support your family. You can't make much money on the internet doing as little as she does. Get...a....job. Go into work every day. Get a paycheck every two weeks. WORK.
