This is totally off topic, but it's pretty well known that there is tension between Michael Phelps and his dad and that his parents have been divorced for years and his mom and sisters raised him.
Anyway, I stumbled across an old article where a repeater was trying to get the dirt about what this is all about from his dad, who is a state trooper.
His dad basically said look this really isn't about me, this is about Michael and his time to shine. Thanks for asking.
I think it's so commendable that no one in this family airs their dirty laundry, and that everyone has worked hard to keep the focus on their child, Michael, even though it's obvious there are issues. Kate and Jon could learn from that.
She's not going to get swag like the swag the attendees (the REAL bloggers) get. She's not a paying professional, but someone tending a booth.
She can walk around and get pens and pencils and keychains or whatever, but the swag bags are for those who paid $300 or so to attend all three days. That wouldn't include our Grifty.
Nice to see her looking somewhat covered up, but that bust is burstin' out all over, and she looks wretched, unlike the others in the photo, who seem to understand what "photo op" means.
What a loser. Hope CC is happy with their "investment".
She just has to wear those heels so she can be above the rest. Poor wittle schmoops, her feet must ache at the end of the day. Hope Stevie gives them a good wub.
I think Kate looks decent. Her hair is getting so long- extensions? And although she stands sideways in one or two of the photos she looks fairly modest and 'normal.' But yes, we can't see her shoes, lol. I think being a CC blogger embarrasses her- it's too mediocre for her, except when she can hide behind self- exalting columns about her riches and keen ideas.
Yeah, she may have hooker heels on. I can't fault her for her heels, just the fact she has lousy taste in them. I love heels. I'm 5'6". My husband says he's 5'10" but I argue he is only 5'9". My heels are usually 3 - 4 inches in height and when I wear the 4" ones I'm taller than him. The short girl in the picture above looks like even if she had 4" heels on she would only reach about 5'6".
Oh she is a useless tool. CC employs her as a {talentless} blogger. She is at a conference for bloggers, all of whom are way more talented than her, as are most of us here. CC is paying her way, and consider her a marquee player at their booth today. And yet her twitter is stone cold silent. She really lacks a smart gene, or 2. And they pay for her useless tool companion too. Uneffingbelievable.
And yes, she's overdressed - I have seen that style of dress at cocktail parties and weddings this summer season. It may be longer, but it is still tight and overdone, look at the other women.
The ladies that are in that picture with her are all vloggers on Youtube. I hope they don't bring her into their mom's view show they have going. I can't tell you how much I don't like seeing them with her. But notice she doesn't have that big fake smile on her face. By the way the tiny one just ran in the marathon in San Francisco. It was her first time and she ran the half. She talked about how bad her knees hurt her. Her husband has ran 2 full and 1 half. He described how much damages it does to your feet and how he has lost nails from running. Yet Kate is in heels the day after her full? Yeah I believe she ran a full. (insert eye roll)

There is nothing "bursting out all over." No cleavage, nothing. It's a conservative dress. Did you want her to look like Laura Ingalls Wilder?
The dress is lovely. See I can say something positive about Kate when its due.
However, the 4 other ladies look like genuine everyday people; fresh faced and appropriately dressed for a day on a conference floor. Kate looks like she's playing Hollywood.
Having done many a booth at a conference myself the dress of the day was business attire but with comfortable shoes. Kate is probably wearing "sit down" shoes. YOu know the ones that that hurt you're feet if you stand in the them a long time.
And another thing the 4 ladies hairdo's look like they did themselves. All do's are clean, healthy and shiny. Kate's not so much.
There is nothing "bursting out all over." No cleavage, nothing.
##########
There's major stress across the bust. I call it bustin' out all over. You can call it whatever you want.
Yes, she'll get swag. But she won't get the VIP swag provided to conference attendees. She's not a peer of the REAL bloggers. That would be the point, and it's not one old Grifty is going to miss.
Oh, I like the dress too. I love orange. But she has dressed it up with those very long earrings. More appropriate for dinner than a convention. Tells me Steve is around. It's like she dresses for him (I am hot, your wife is not).
I had a post and then it disappeared. I was saying how those ladies that are in the picture are all vloggers on Youtube. They all have their separate channels and they have a show together called The Moms View. The short one just ran a half marathon in San Francisco. It was her first. While training for this she told about how bad her knees hurt and had to ice them. She said that really hurt at the end of the half she ran. Her husband trained and has ran in 2 full and 1 half. He described how bad it is on his feet and how he and other runners have lost their nails from running. Yet Kate ran her "full" marathon and then was seen in heels the next day. Yeah I believe she ran a full marathonn (insert eye roll here) Notice how unfriendly she looks in this picture. Where are those blinding veneers? These are mom's here. They dress like moms not like they are going to a cocktail party. Yes I like her dress but not for this occasion. She totally doesn't fit in with this crowd.
The short girl in the picture above looks like even if she had 4" heels on she would only reach about 5'6". ************** What is the point of this comment? Who cares if someone is only 5'6" in 4-inch heels?
The first thing I noticed was the smiles on the others. I don't know how I would describe the look on K's face - maybe annoyed that she is being photographed with these mediocre people.
I like her dress; she is covered up for once - but red, I don't know. Red, the power colour, it yells "Look at ME"....but then that's Kate.
The hair, not so much. At least it's combed and out of her face. She'd look so much better with a much shorter cut and low-lights in it. It's just too long, makes her look like she's all face, and it's way too blonde. ****** I couldn't agree more! I was just being restrained. The blondes standing next to her in the photo have far better coloring and styling. If I had a thick head of straight hair, oh to dream! My fine curls could never get long and luscious, but I make do with what I have, given my hair and features. But everything you said about Kate's hair styling is correct. No texture, no movement, it drags her face down and the color is awful. She has such a great head of hair if only she'd let someone professional style her without her insisting on hair curtains all the time. She'd also look great with a poofed head and pony tail. Sharp.
I keep wondering why anyone would ever want to pose with her. I wouldn't come within 100 feet of Kate Gosselin. That kind of evil has a smell.
I'm noticing how prickly and defensive her sheeple are lately. Coming over here under three different names and anonymous and angrily depending everything this wretched creature does.
The 50/50 custody split really has them rattled and I kept wondering why. I think it's because it completely shatters once and for all the conceit of Kate the Super Mom Who Does It All. She's just a little man behind a curtain, frantically spinning wheels and urging people to look the other way.
Look at all of the cute, normal looking ladies posing with the hooker. I bet none of them have heels on .. more likely tennis shoes or sandals.
The dress isn't too bad, if it were after dark and she was out for drinks or dinner. But working the show floor for a freakin' COUPON conference The Shrew looks her typical trashy, self involved self. Is she ever appropriate?
I cant believe what a leathery, fried, OLD looking hag she has become in her obsession to look 'good' and be noticed. Funny to think that the old kHate with the 'Something About Mary' hair would have looked cute and fit right into a blogger conference like this.
gag a maggot said... There's major stress across the bust. I call it bustin' out all over. You can call it whatever you want. ______ If the picture is enlarged, you can see that the dress is pieced together on the diagonal and is probably made of a stretchy material. When looked at in the original view, the vertical lines from the piecing look like pulling. IMO, the dress fits perfectly, but I don't think it is appropiate for a business event. I wore a similar dress in a deep plum to my son' wedding and it is extremely flattering--especially in the waist area. If she is representing the business, she should be dressed more professionally. If she added a jacket, it would be fine. As usual, Kate is promoting herself. And that is why that is all she has on her plate.
Chefsummer: your post on the previous thread: Kates fans know exact who they are. And where they belong to Kate. So, one of Kates: fans, sheeple, lackey, definded her and the rest to be slaves. I guess they do know where they belong. LOLOLOLOL
I like Kate's dress (and imagine it would look great in plum!) and I think it fits her perfectly. She's there more making a "stah" appearance than being a blogger, so I get that she's going to "put on the dog" and play the part. And, she's only standing in those heels, not walking on concrete floors all day long. Again, it's part of the whole ensemble. Just to expect Kate to do this in walking shoes is too funny. This is the woman who wore (or tried to wear) 4 inch gladiator sandals to visit the Statue of Liberty and spiked boots to a corn maze. Common sense is not her forte. Some podiatrist is going to love her in another decade or so.

Funny to think that the old kHate with the 'Something About Mary' hair would have looked cute and fit right into a blogger conference like this. ===== I agree Sport. She didn't hear the 15-minute timer go off. She is so overdone now she's crispy on both sides.
She'd also look great with a poofed head and pony tail. Sharp.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
The thing is, though, that when she pulls her hair back, Donkey Shrek comes through. A short cut, wispy bangs, color-on-color and she'd look so much better. I guess she'll never give up the Malibu Barbie look.
I still like the dress. It's such an improvement over the hooker look. A jacket would look nice with it. She'll never dress business-professional, so this one works for her. Maybe she's planning a night at the Fig and just didn't want to change before dinner. It's a good color for her.
If you go to twazzup kateplus8: some of the sheeple took pics with Kate. I see CC changed their schedule, Kate was do to do pics in the afternoon, 3-5. Maybe CC thought to nap the people now and not wait, they may not come back later. Some will, but most won't cause they have workshops and seminars.
How long do you think it will take for Kate to tweet? She is just about done with her first booth time. Will she tweet or go to lunch. She has until 3pm, will she tweet between 1p-3p or will she roam the convention hall, or will she go back to the hotel. Now that CC has seen Kate at their booth, I wonder if they will have her tomorrow, unless, CC wants her to attend a few workshops & seminars.
Can the anonymous drive bys please pick names, especially if you're going to be snippy? Own it.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Have you noticed that most of the drive-bys offer nothing to the discussions other than to pick apart comments on other posts with their snippy remarks? Why is that?
she has absolutely no idea how to dress. The dress is pretty...for a cocktail party or a night out. Not for daytime office or conference wear. She has no sense.
Many years ago at a conference I had the pleasure of meeting Linda Blair of Exorcist (the movie) fame. She was dressed like the four ladies in the picture. Linda was the nicest person to talk to. Since there was no one else in line at the time, though there was a considerable line earlir in the day, she and I talked technical details about horse showing. A hobby we both had in common. When we finished talking she graciously let me take her picture and I got her autograph which I still have to this day. I fondly remember how down to earth she was and never once tried to make me feel inferior/mediocre or beneath her.
She didn't display the "look at me, I'm a star" appearance or attitude. It was a wonderful meeting and one I treasure to this day.
Other than Kate's "posse" I wonder if her fans will have the same great experience I did when I met Ms. Blair.
Admin, I think the real reason Jon got the kids 50/50 is because the kids wanted to be with Jon more. Kate would never give up the money voluntarily. Kate has no qualms about dumping them with teen girls anytime she has a chance to travel, and be with Stevie. That's why she was in the dumps in April.
Also, I think the kids are old enough to tell Jon and judge what they think of their mother and how she treats them.
Ooh, tough decisions, play with Steve or play with Deanna? Does Fig and Olive have her table ready? And has CC figured out that only thing KG has come to promote is herself? Anyone else there with a bodyguard? Anyone?
OrangeCrush, the only reason Kate needs a bodyguard is to protect Kate from his own wife. If I were Gina...well, I cannot even put it into words.
The convention is at the NYC Hilton. Wanna bet they have adjoining rooms? Or one room? Romantic dinner for two tonight? Geez, I hope someone gets the money shot.

HA.
I can see her sheep carrying Kate around and feeding her grapes while fanning her.
Like they did with the kings in Egypt bahh all hail to their queen.
Her dress is covering the girls and the rear but to my way of thinking, it certainly is inappropriate for the occasion. She is very much over-dressed. It ain't a cocktail party.
I actually like the dress but wouldn't wear it to a daytime convention. That being said, I think Kate's job for CC is to just stand there and get her picture taken so for that it's probably appropriate. I think that CC is smrt enough to have REAL bloggers manning the booth and talking about blogging and/or CC. Kate would come off sounding like an idiot when talking to real bloggers. Now before you jump all over me sheeple, we've heard her talk about couponing and CC in interviews and, um, well honestly, to tell you the truth, she just doesn't cut it.
Oh NO! Paige follows those woman from The Mom's View. She is tweeting them telling them to get her on their show. Apparently they are thinking about it. Paige is also tweeting Kate and telling her she needs to try to get on that show because it will open new doors for her. I don't think any of those ladies has a clue about Kate and what she is like. These are just moms that really interact and love their kids. By the way Martha Stewart is there. She is dressed like all the other moms, pants and a top. She is on stage speaking. Oh and Paige is asking these moms if they will vlog Kate if she gets up to speak. What is wrong with that child?
I was responding to another poster who made the comment that Kate was towering over everybody so she probably had heels on. With heels on, the tiny one might reach about 5'6" tall, thus she would still not tower over any one in that picture. That was my point.
Not a big fan of bandage dresses, personally but she doesn't look bad. I agree that she should cut her hair. Not short short like before but she does look better/younger with shorter hair.
Is that Steve in the reflection? I didn't think it looked like him. Too think and the hair looked wrong.
I think the dress looks good and is perfectly appropriate to the venue and her role there. This is actually one of the few times I like what she is wearing.
Pink, Kate would JUMP at the chance to do A Mom's View. Anything to keep herself relevant.
Hey, I need some advice. We just adopted an 11 month old Lab mix from the shelter. We've started group training and I've got some private session starting next week, however we're having a big problem with jumping and play biting as well as leash biting. He's a beautiful dog and we already love him to pieces. He's very smart and is responding to training but is easily distracted.
Any suggestions? We're walking 2x a day, 30 minutes at a time and working on playing fetch. He prefers to play tug of war with his rope, though which I think is just reinforcing the jumping/biting. Anything in your hands he jumps or bites for. I would love to take him to the park and let him run around off leash but he doesn't know "come yet". Also, we're trying to introduce him to our cat and it's getting better but it means he's either on leash or in his crate while inside (otherwise he chases the cat). So unfortunately he's outside in his dog run when I'd rather him be inside with the "pack".
So any advice to this new doggy mom would be very appreciated. Thanks!
Someone needs to teach Kate what business casual is and how to piece those outfits together. It seems to be standard for most of the conferences I have been at. I will admit that I am clueless when it comes to fashion. So, I go to someplace like Cold Water Creek. I talk to the sales person and they are always able to help me pull an outfit together that looks great and that I am comfortable in. You can get items from there for a great price if you wait for sales, use coupons or shop in the clearance area.
I forgot to add that he is doing well with walking but still pulls on the leash. Has anyone tried head harness walking and what did you think? It sounds promising on principle.
I like the dress and feel it fits Kate fine. However, I also agree that the dress is more suitable for an evening function, and is not business casual, or business-professional. I looked at the picture that has a reflection of a man who looks like Skeevy. If he is there, then Kate still has plenty of money. The fact that he and Gina are still married, but he still travels with Kate, tells me that he will stick around as long as the money holds out. Gina must feel very confident that her little Skeever is merely venal and not an adulterer.
Is she wearing the famous 'friends' necklace? Is that a signal that Jamie is around or just that they are still friends? &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Kate is a twit said... 46 Well, Steve is definitely there. One person tweeted:
"Love that @xxxx just asked Kate gosselin and her body guard if they were dating" &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Since Kate is hosting the booth and the other "casual ladies" in the pic ARE NOT, I think she looks perfectly fine. In fact, I think she looks beautiful here.
It's ironic that Coupon Cabin has her as their representative. Her DWTS blog on Coupon Cabin has 58 posts, with only two (2) being positive and both positive posts are from the SAME person.

The people at Coupon Cabin cannot be too bright. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
The bright people end up 'leaving her' as evidenced by TLC using her to ride the multiples reality phenomen, then kicking her to the curb when she became too difficult and entitled to deal with anymore and the ratings were slipping, Jon when he woke up and got out of an abusive marriage, the volunteers and all the other people in PA who quickly saw thru her scheming, and the entertainment industry.
Coupon Cabin will eventually wise up and fire her flat ass.
Congrats on the new pup! The dog is still young so probably will not give up those habits for a while...maybe toys like a Kong or dog bones he can chew independently in a dog bed would help. Also of course praise! Don't show too much interest in the biting/tugging as he wants to please. Tug of war is well-loved by dogs but only on your terms/place/time. My husband does that with our dog and it's a very bad habit- she destroyed other people's things as well. But now that she's older she only does it with her own toys, so there's hope! He will learn 'down' in time as well. Good luck!

************************************************
Congratulations from me too, silimom :o)
I agree with Once a Viewer.
You're doing everything right. Just give it some time.
As long as you shower that little puppy with love, and attention, you will all be fine.
Do we know for a fact that Steve and Gina are still together? What happened to sources who told either admin or Preesi (I am not sure if it was both or one of them) that Steve was spotted about Kate's town doing errands some weekends? Is he still seen around Reading/Wernersville or is that a thing of the past now that Kate no longer has a show.
The article doesn't really specify Kate too much but note the headline. In the article there is a link to a video of part of the interview. What he says about Kate is at 2:00. To quote--
"I wasn't her husband, I was her teacher. You have to be nice to me, and she wasn't."
Kate will drop everything for a trip to CA IF: - you buy her (and companion/bodyguard) a First Class ticket - provide 5* accomodations, including limos and Nobu - pay her a handsome speaker's fee
Yah, thought so. And look Kate, these bloggers are apparently able to get Twitter to work at the conference hotel. Milo may figure that out soon too.
And oh yes, that is so Skeevey reflected in the hotel door. Hats off to whoever called it - a tool and her toolbox.
Ok, thank you admin. I am thinking that it was one of Preesi's sources. What I don't understand is if Kate and Steve are indeed a couple, why not just admit it? It has been three years since the divorce and I am sure no one would be shocked. I am sure the sheeple would all congratulate her and give the relationship their blessings. If they are not in a relationship, it baffles me why he is still around.
I like the dress Ms Kreider is wearing, it is very flattering to her figure and appropriate for her role doing promotion for cc. Ms Kreider is still boring.
Wow - that's a definite slam on Kate. In the beginning of the interview when her name comes up and he makes a disgusted face and then a bit later when he mentions some contestants failing the 'psych exam'.
"I wasn't her husband, I was her teacher. You have to be nice to me, and she wasn't." ****** Oh snap. To me this says that Kate would have been well in the running for a return in the All Stars season if she didn't burn bridges. I hope she learns from this, because DWTS All Stars is a major opportunity for anyone who needs a kick start to their career. She'd have been right there in LA, interviews galore, microphone in hand, Billy Bush with his lips reattached to her ass...
Hey y'all, everyone who had kept up with the saga of the dh with the torn Achilles tendon. We went back to ortho today and he is happy with dh progress. He got second cast today, and foot is now casted in neutral position. Still no weight on it. In 3 weeks, if all goes well, he can get walking cast. Best thing is that, except for the first two postop days, his pain has been none to minimal.
Sadly, in the photo of Kate entering the hotel (where Steve's reflection is seen in the door) the outline of Ms. Kate's underwear is visible - ye old dreaded VPL. In a dress as close fitting as this one (or transparent as the silver thing she wore at The Grove) appropriate smoothing undergarments are necessary. Why, oh why does she not check these things before heading out the door? There might not be comments about "unnerwears" such as the caption on the picture.
The reason Steve is still around: MONEY. She has it, he wants it. It's simply that. If there is sex involved, nobody knows for sure.
And nobody knows what the status of his marriage is. If they are still together, then she is either thick skinned, likes the money he has earned from Kate, or doesn't give a damn. Personally, my radar would be on high alert if my husband was alone with someone who was obviously so dependent on him and dressed like a tramp most of the time. He must like playing the bodyguard role and having her swoon over him. Anyway, the whole relationship is not normal and that's why we are scratching our heads as to "are they" or "aren't they"?
I would like to kind of clarify what I said about my parents. First of all they both have passed on and I don't like to speak bad of the dead. Both of my parents couldn't read . My mom was pulled out school when she was about six or seven so all family members could work so they could eat! She was smart and could self teach herself but she was always working so her children could get an education! My parents lived long enough to see their children get an education at state colleges and UC Universities and grandchildren Standford and Harvard degrees!
But they were very strict, boy were they ever! No, we don't know what Kate's upbringing was BUT she should never blame her parents for her behavior towards her kids and should know how to use Google!! None of my parents children disciplined their kids harshly!
Back to the conference , Kate looks nice but she would look nicer if she smiled! Is it just me or does she look miserable! Kate there are worse jobs! SMILE!!!
Oooo boy, did he slip a couple of good ones in there! ouch!! LOL
I really like Tony and he is such a gentleman! He got in, what, let's see:
1. she was lazy, didn't want to work at it. 2. she was a really bad dancer 3. she has psych problems 4. she had no respect for her teacher 5. she was too busy to give him any effort 6. she exposed herself as the person she really is - AND - the country saw her and got it
TLC Stinks - agreed. Steve Nield is all about the money. I don't know if this is correct, but I do recall reading that his daily rate for "body guard" services was $1,600. TLC probably figured that paying him to make sure Kate showed up for filming and signing appearances, and didn't scare the natives too much, was worth the cost.
I was surprised to see Steve along as early as the trip to Colorado, when Beth also joined the family. Why in the world would Steve be needed on a family vacation that included Jon? Clearly, Steve had some influence or clout with Kate even back then. This is the same trip when Beth left abruptly, never to be seen or discussed again on the show. What the heck happened? What did she see or hear?
As to Gina Nield - she's an odd one as well. I can understand why at first the body guard gig was probably fine with her. Good money in tough times. But at $1,600 per day, shouldn't she and Steve have paid off their house by now and Steve be able to do some real work once again?
For playtime, look for a fenced school playground, particularly elementary schools. That is where I take my beagle mixes to run to their hearts content. :-)
However good physical exercise is, mental stimulation is JUST as important. Teach him to find a biscuit hidden in a room. Take his dinner kibble and scatter it in the yard for him to forage. Use a Buster Cube, IQ Ball, and/or Kong to give him meals that use his brain. Scentwork is the best, but tricks are also helpful. Puppy pushups (stand, sit, and down mixed up) are another great mental exercise. Working stays with distractions (start SMALL and build up SLOWLY) also really takes a lot of mental energy. Be sure to give him a chance to release that pent up energy after though - a quick game of ball or whatever.
For biting and jumping - first see above for wearing him down physically and mentally. Spray your leash with bitter apple to discourage biting. If he's trying to tug, if at all possible, drop the leash so there is no tension. Using a two leashes on him will help with this (clipped to back and front of harness) as he can only hold one at a time, so you can always keep hold of him. Biting at you will usually go away if you keep quiet, do not engage physically (ie kicking or anything), and just turn around and withdraw your attention. If he's really bad, take him by the collar without speaking or making eye contact and put him in the crate. This will give him a chance to settle himself down. If you can keep YOUR energy calm, it will help a lot. After 60+ titles on 5 dogs you'd think I would know this but I still find myself sometimes getting my high drive pup amped up from my own frustrated energy. Breathing deep helps! :-)
Silimom I'm having the same problem with the Terrier mix we rescued about a month ago! He is about 7 months old! He loves to attack my feet! As soon as he sees me he attacks my toes! Ouch!!! He has so much energy I can't keep up with him in spite of his walks. I need help!!! He's adorable though!
Silimom -- Congrats on the new family member. The one piece of advice I can give you is be consistent. Don't ignore unwanted behaviors sometimes and scold or punish the same behaviors other times. A firm "NO" or "Down" each time he jumps/bites and he will get the idea quickly. The first couple of times you may need to push on his hindquarters to get him down, though.
I agree, that dress would be fine for an evening out to the theater or dinner, but it isn't appropriate for the convention. It'll be interesting to see if KK spends the entire w/e in NYC.
I just read another article about DWTS All Stars -- no mention of KK in the article but 4 or 5 comments are rejoicing that she isn't going to be on the show.
Kate wants support from her tweeties but can't even bother to give even the tiniest bit of support herself like sending out one measly little tweet at a conference. It's not fair and most people don't stick around in that kind of one sided relationship long. As they haven't.
Sweet Tart, I believe it was their trip to Utah and not Colorado when we first spotted Steve sitting behind Kate on the plane. And that was in 2007, does that sound right everybody?
Does anyone besides me think Kate needs a "stylist" more than she needs a bodyguard? The bandage dress is okay, but looks like cocktail attire rather than business. I've worked at major gift shows and never saw anyone working a booth dress like Kate. Trying so hard to get noticed is turning out to look desperate and pathetic.
Wow...tony isholding NOTHING back and either are the news shows or magazine articles about her. It is getting freakin ridiculous with the need for a bodyguard. Enough already...just come out! I know everyone loves to slam Kate regarding her fashion faux pas...I am one of them....but I will give credit where credit is due AND she does look better in this dress than anything else I have seen her wear...except the purple one that she interviewed in after her show was canceled.
I agree that the first time Steve was spotted was that trip to Utah. That trip was also the last time we saw or heard of Beth Carson. Remember, Kate's bestest friend? Something happened and we may never know. Beth moved on with her life and probably would never say anything, ever! Kate's loss for sure.
Thanks for all the doggie advice, everyone! You have great suggestions and I appreciate the support. :-) He's a good puppy and will be better with the training, but sometimes it's just overwhelming! :-) It doesn't help that I'm a "now" girl. It's nice to hear from other people that have gone through this too.
Permanent Name said... 90 I really like Tony and he is such a gentleman! He got in, what, let's see:
1. she was lazy, didn't want to work at it. 2. she was a really bad dancer 3. she has psych problems 4. she had no respect for her teacher 5. she was too busy to give him any effort 6. she exposed herself as the person she really is - AND - the country saw her and got it
What else did I miss? LOL
--------------------- I heard one more in his interview:
When talking about how she did NOT work hard or practice, Tony said:
LaLaLandNoMore said... 105 I agree that the first time Steve was spotted was that trip to Utah. That trip was also the last time we saw or heard of Beth Carson. Remember, Kate's bestest friend? Something happened and we may never know. Beth moved on with her life and probably would never say anything, ever! Kate's loss for sure.
Sweet Tart, I believe it was their trip to Utah and not Colorado when we first spotted Steve sitting behind Kate on the plane. And that was in 2007, does that sound right everybody? ==== Yes, it does. And he looked so young and fresh too, just like Kate. My how they've aged. (first sighting @13:03) This was the same video where Kate was taping over the kids' names on their backpacks. Saftey and security and all that. My how things have changed.
Well, I'll tell you one thing: Kate thinks she being very clever. Kate buttered up her fans , with all this support crap, has not said a peep, cause she does not want any of the sheeple there to spoil, what she is gonna try and do. This convention has lots of parties, after the main events are over, each day. This is a good opportunity to network. Knowing Kate as we do, and all this fake rumored dating show and the reality show Kate wants, take a minute, guess what Kate is probably, gonna do. Kate already slap CC in the face, with the Today show interview, Kate was suppose to talk about the CC App, instead she talked about herself. What you think she will do tonight? If given the op Kate would jump ship ASAP from CC. And not even bat an eye. Kate is gonna market her show, or shows, to sponsers, who might just given Kate the push she needs to make the show/shows a reality. These big companies do have connections.
And if she fails and word gets back, to CC, and if CC has a backbone, they will not only fire her for disloyality, but black ball her in that industry, and with sponsers. No one will want to be in the same room with her, it can back fire or CC will not care. This convention is about blogging and everything that is associated, with blogging, not a plateform for Kate to sell herself, a TV show, or do commercials, for these products.
And for the shit stirrers that are coming here, go look up Blogher12 website for the schedule, it does not take rocket science to figure out what Kate is capable or up to. I've been to more convention then I care to remember and do know how they work.
That is why Kate is on silence,, cause Kate knows her fans are luny, and just might spoil it for her. Just think about what happened, about the cruise, Kate might have had the numbers, but a certain fan ruined it for her.
anger issues-Zondervan also has a booth there-maybe she'll try to sell them on one of her books.
Not everyone at the convention likes Kate. Love this tweet:
notketchup Hey #blogher12 peeps - 1st/best pic of someone flipping Kate Gosselin the bird gets an item of their choice free from my Etsy page. Have at!
Her sure understood how FAKE Kate is! ***** Well yeah, she is ;-), but I think he literally meat fake her way through, as in, collect a big fat paycheck and think that her whole purpose on DWTS was to be the controversial, love-to-hate-contestant. That, he saw clearly and it must have been very difficult to someone with his level of professionalism and talent to try to squeeze blood from a stone with her training, or lack there of. What I really got from the interview is that Kate simply did not put the time in, and was preoccupied with her own media circus, constantly paying attention to what was said and written about her. I bet she was a pill.
LaLaLand, you are so right about Beth. A classy woman like Beth would simply say "My daughter's birthday is tomorrow, I really feel the need to be there with her, call Jodi as a replacement, maybe even offer to pay her way to Utah, and never mention a thing about it ever again to anyone.
Wasn't Skeeve spotted in the pew with J&K in that one episode where they took the kids to Sunday School and then went on a picnic? Wasn't that before the Utah trip? I think someone going back over old shows after Skeeve was identified spotted that.
Silimom: congrats, on new family member! Be consistant, use hand motions, and a few words, that you can use all the time. I used a lot of : NO!, down! stop it, and ENOUGH! When the puppy does right a little treat. Practice what the trainer says. It will sink in. Patience.
I just noticed something Kate said in the Utah video. She said next time they take a trip they were going to Hawaii to get re-married. I think she actually meant it as a joke but then decided that's what she wanted.
By the time the vow-renewal trip rolled around I think Jon and Kate hated each other.
I said in a previous thread that I don't think that Steve and Kate are a couple because I just don't thin he can be that stupid.
She may have feelings for him, but I don't think they are returned. To him, it was a good paying job. The money was worth dealing with Kate.
Now, with times being what they are in the job market, he has to hold onto what he has. He's lost all credibility, in my opinion, as a bodyguard and security person after his ridiculous stint with Kate. Therefore, he has to hang onto what he has that he's collecting a paycheck for.

I think she actually meant it as a joke but then decided that's what she wanted. *** I think it tells you how highly-produced their shows were. According to Aunt Jodi's sister, they'd plan out the shows well in advance and I bet you Kate did already know that Hawaii was planned. Just like the new camera, the new carpet, DWTS...
To whoever it was above that spoke about what Martha Stewart might be wearing (from the tweeter who offered free stuff for the first one who flips Kate off):
@Notketchup @grandmasf I'm not there or I'd be doing the flipping myself! Martha Stewart was wearing a casual button up shirt and slacks.
I'm surprised Her Heinous didn't insist on CENTER of group (and it actually would have looked better, plus put the shortest on an end). She looks overdressed considering the attire of the four others. The look on her face comes off as smug (well, that IS her natural look, so what was I thinking?).
Ugh, "Reality TV Stars Who Went Broke" http://tv.yahoo.com/photos/reality-tv-stars-who-are-now-broke-slideshow/;_ylt=AqG5nEIxaohHdv1JI5agBcsMpNEF;_ylu=X3oDMTM3dGc4NjNkBG1pdAMEcGtnAzBkNjBiYzc5LTY3MzgtMzQwNS1hYzQ5LWMzOWQxNDNhZGU0NQRwb3MDMQRzZWMDZW5kX3NzBHZlcgMwM2RjYzNmMC1kZGJlLTExZTEtYmJiZi00ZDI4YzIzMGM5ZDQ-;_ylv=3
readerlady: I think the Utah trip (aired March 2008) was before the Memorial Day picnic epi at church and the park. I could be wrong, but it seems to me the kids were older in the latter.
What struck me when I skimmed through the clip were the freebies: the jackets and accessories, the trip and the luxurious accommodations, and then the whole ski package etc. Wow.
This is the Memorial Day epi.Couldn't find the airdate. Jon did 99% of the work. Plenty of shower, clothes changing,diaper/unnerwear scenes & Leah asking about girls' 'boops' and Kate saying 'big girls have big boops'- I guess she'd know although then hers were just mediocre!)
teentruthis hopefully i see @kateplusmy8 in Pennsylvania
teentruthis i remember how when i was little i always wanted to go to Pennsylvania to meet @Kateplusmy8, i'm finally going, but doubt i'm meeting kate:(
teentruthis am i the only one who didn't know that there's no taxes in Pennsylvania :O
I guess so. Then why in the world am I paying local and state tax, spring taxes, fall taxes, taxes on utility bills, and everything else under the sun? The state can do away with the Department of Revenue! If only I would have known!
Where does Kate pick up these sheeple? This one is a teenage guy (I think)!

That's quite a detailed hypothetical scenario you've created there, complete with the total implosion of Kate Gosselin's floundering television career.
Meanwhile, back in reality...she is there doing her job, which is to be a known face that draws people to the CC booth. Nothing more, nothing less. She is not supposed to where clothing that makes her look like the average blogger mom, she is supposed to attract attention. Again, that is what she is being paid to do.

I just saw a close-up of Kate in post#18 in her red dress. That is no way a day-time conference blogging dress. It is wrapping all around her screaming look at all MY PARTS! I think because it isn't showing her boobs and the length is right above the knee that some people may think that the dress is appropriate. I think she is trying to be sexy with all the tight wrapping. Yuck!
Wake up: Kate has always had her own agenda, of course she will do her job there, but given the opportunity Kate would jump ship. She tried that with CC on the Today show, instead of promoting the CC Apps, Kate was promoting herself. Kate is quite capable of being disloyal. You really think, Kate wants to be a blogger. No! She wants to be on TV again. Kate has bitten the hand that has fed her several times over the last 8 years. Instead of promoting CC every chance she gets, do some research, and make herself look like a shining star, where maybe, one or more of these vendors might want her to do commercials for them. A beginning step, back to TV.
Not to mention, PA is one big state. Why would you go and assume you'd ever in a million years run into her?
++++++++++++++++++++
Maybe he has her address and is going to swing by her house with the hopes of finding her at home sitting on her LEATHER sofa. He probably wants to take a dip in the POOL! You know these sheeple are her best friends and can come and go as they please!
Tucker's Mom said... 114 "It's not one that you can FAKE thru".

------------------------------ I just really liked this statement of Tony's because it summed up how she was portrayed on TV by TLC. She was a FAKE.
She didn't really do the work of a Mom. As much as TLC tried to make us believe she did, we saw the truth. Kate was able to FAKE the role of Mom for years. She NEVER did the work. She had TLC behind her to hire everyone to do the work for her.
But on DWTS, there was no one who could do the dancing for her. Tony saw 1st hand how Kate would NOT work hard. He spent enough time with her to understand that she had everything done for her while she continued to act like she did it all. He saw that her public image was a FAKE. And no matter how many nannies, cooks, housekeepers, bodyguards TLC could pay, Kate still had to do the work on DWTS. And she did not want to work at it just like she did not work at being the Mom that TLC faked the viewers to believe.
Yeah - so good for Tony saying Kate could NOT FAKE her way on DWTS!
This convention is about blogging and everything that is associated, with blogging, not a plateform for Kate to sell herself, a TV show, or do commercials, for these products.
++++++++++++++++
I agree, but with each blog she does for CC, she sells herself, not CC. They just let it pass without doing anything, despite the negative comments. Why would this be any different?
Tweet-le De - Thanks for the links. Poor Kate, you'd think at least one of her 100,000 twitter "fans" lived in NYC and would be willing to spend $150 to see her.

I said the same thing word for word a few post back.
I can't really say one way or the other what exactly Coupon Cabin thinks Kate's role is.
My best guess is they don't really have a role for her other than to just be her which results in as many hits and buzz to the site as possible. It explains why they allow completely irrelevant blogs throwing Pam Andersen under the bus and things of that nature.
Sheesh. I meant to say...you'd think at least one of her 100,000 twitter "fans" lived in NYC and would be willing to spend $150 to see her and take a pic of her at her booth.
(damn rumpsringa made me lose my train of thought)
kateplusmy8 @msgoody2shoes21 @couponcabin thanks for the positive fashion review:) I appreciate you... For lotsa reasons, but now this 1 too :)
______________________________
She keeps throwing these love pats at the sheeple, something she hasn't done before. Does she know something is up (Gosselinbook) and she needs them to continue to worship her no matter what?
You know this may be an unpopular opinion but as funny as Tony is when he spouts off about Kate, I think he needs to stop. He's made it pretty clear he can't stand her, I don't think he needs to remind us every time he's interviewed. It's kind of transformed from hysterical feud, to wow, maybe Tony is kind of being a jerk.
Auntie Ann and Once a Viewer -- Thank you. I did check it out (On TV.com -- another excellent resource for TV shows current and historical) when I got home and was on my laptop. You are correct. The Memorial Day show was a couple of months after the ski trip. For some reason, I was thinking the Memorial Day show was the previous season.
Admin-I think he needs to stop too, but it's must be hard when that is the first person he's asked about when he does an interview. Perhaps, it was also a little bit of retaliation for her CC blog about him.

She's soooooo not a business woman.
If I was Kate I would've tweeted-"Come meet me in NY I'll be selling photos & Autographs for $5-10$.
*runs and hides!* ***** Ha! I watched the video and it seems that the interviewer was HAMMERING away at the Kate questions. He laughed it off at first but then started to answer honestly and he just hasn't been that forthcoming before. Perhaps Tony can let loose a tad now because Kate was not chosen to be on DWTS. Can't imagine she'll ever be asked back and that means he doesn't have to be as diplomatic as before. After all, he is Mr. Nice Guy ;-). Maks would never show such restraint, bad boy that he is!
The person that Kate sent that tweet to is the same one who asked her if she and Jon had 50/50 custody. Kate didn't reply to that tweet and I doubt if she ever will. I also doubt that that tweeter will ask again.
Respectfully disagree. Tony is gracious and kind in his honesty.
It's called karma. I'm sure kart thinks they were best buds (at least that what the lying snot twitters) and she deserves to have folks speak honestly about her.
I think he was as gracious about it as he could be. He could have been a lot nastier.
And actually, he did keep quiet for a long time. I've only heard him 'gently criticize' her twice. Honesty is a bitch to kart. I'm sure he's swallowed just about all he could take and decided 'hey, let's get some gentle honesty out there'.
He did try to soften it a bit by saying 'she had a lot going on in her life at that time'...
Anyway, it's others who are asking him about her. For him to say 'oh no, it was fine' would be transparently false and would continue to defer to teflon kart.
I'm all for Team Tony. I doubt we'll hear too much more from him on the debaucle that was kart.
Well I guess in fairness it must be very annoying to constantly be hammered away at about Kate. That was a long time ago, I'm sure he just wants to move on.
(damn rumpsringa made me lose my train of thought)
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
A friend of mine is opening a new restaurant and bar and I'm going to suggest that one of the "special" drinks be called The Rumspringa. Of course it will have to have rum in the mix...I just need to figure out what else. Any ideas?
I'm glad Tony is speaking bad about Kate! It's about time, she has been nurtured and coddled through the years. Jon has had to endure ridicule about everything you can think of! Besides she has been rewarded with a nice chunk of money, nice home and lots of cars!
About the dress, she really does not have any sense of how to dress! At least she is not dressed like she is going to her junior prom! What she needs is a new haircut and hair color! That would help her a lot!
You know this may be an unpopular opinion but as funny as Tony is when he spouts off about Kate, I think he needs to stop.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I agree. It's run its course and it starts to wear thin after awhile. There are times when you need to know when to zip it, and this is one of the times.
I ngree that Tony gets backed into corners by these interviewers. I can't see him showing up on Leno and using Kate as his planned story to talk about. He does not talk about her unless somebody else brings it up. And I think if he were to say "no comment", they would not let it go. Did you see how giddy that interviewer was when Kate was the subject?. SHE wanted to talk about Kate. No was not going to mean no to her.
Besides, I'm sure Tony would like the Kate questions to go away. Who wants THAT to be what everyone remembers about his time on DWTS? He's an incredible dancer and choreographer, and all anyone wants to talk about is how hard Kate was to deal with. He always looks very uncomfortable when he's asked about that.
For the love of god can whoever you are, JUST WONDERING or whoever you are, could you please stop picking on anger issues? It's really uncalled for.
I'll say it one more time, if you have an issue with someone on the blog, me or someone else, email it to me and we'll discuss it. It's nasty to do what you are doing and you know it. Personal problems with people are off topic and not allowed, period.
"He was asked if he thinks Derek Hough has it easy 'cause Derek tends to get hot partners who can already dance. "Yeah, he's America's Sweetheart," Tony said, adding, "The difference between, let's say Maks and Derek, with them girls say 'Oh, I love you!' When they see me they go 'My mom loves you!'"

But I do wonder how exactly it is that you think that Tony should stopm when you're running a blog that spouts off, often in a funny, entertaining way, about Kate? You are posting multiple times of a day about her, and you don't even know her and she's done nothing to her. He does know her and one could argue that she did plenty to him, and he says something every several months and he's a jerk? I'm not sure I understand.
Kate is thanking that tweeter because she has done nothing but badmouth Jon on twitter all day, and totally believes all of the tabloid fodder that is out there about Jon being broke..etc...that is why Kate loves her soo much!
I am so excited for those kids to have their daddy so much more now!! I too have believed for the last while that Kate has been choosing her words very carefully in order to keep up her pretentious lifestyle. ( For you sheeple, that means the life she pretends to have, which is greater then what she actually has..)
Although Tony is a public figure who actually knows Kate personally and is frequently asked as a public figure to make statements about her. This is a blog with opinions by just private people you have to seek out if you want information about her. it's not like this blog is booking gigs with the Today Show to bash Kate.
It was kind of nasty to throw all the other partners he's had under the bus with that psychiatric comment. Yikes!
Admin in all fairness to Tony he said that they do a psych eval and every once in awhile one slips through. I didn't take it as he always gets stuck with the psychos, just Kate. Maybe I took it wrong. If I did I apologize.
Okay, I don't drink hard liquor, just wine every now and then. However, if the Rumspringa was mixed with something orange (I love oranges!), I would try it!
Sillimom, and others, I'm late to respond about the puppy because I was enroute to a dog event for the weekend. Sounds like there are several experienced "moms" on this blog. Some of us compete in one or more activities. I love it. And let me tell you, all paid dog people know that their way is the only and right way. Jack tells you one thing one week, and Mary changes the story the next. Do what looks like it's going to work, keeping in mind breed, nature, age of puppy. I for instance gave up wearing earrings for almost a year with the last pup. He still jumps on me, loves it so much we incorporated it into a routine to do before frisbee matches. We win prizes now with that bad behavior! Enjoy, have a good time, and remember they are put here to teach us to love without screaming our heads off in frustration.

Back in April Kate was all for correcting inaccuracies:
@LibandMa I do! That's why I state only the facts :)&only when needed. Talk abt Only things that make it to the public--& then only2correct!
Does her silence when asked that question mean the 50/50 is correct then? You’d think if the 50/50 custody is not true, she’d be eager to set the record straight when faced with the question.
It's different because I haven't bashed anger issues on an hourly basis for years. In fact, I have no idea what you are talking about above "for the love of god..", because the first time I have ever addressed anger issues was about half an hour ago (now deleted). And all I did was ask her what her user name meant and pointed out that she spends a lot of time researching Kate's life and coming up with different predictions of what will happen next (I also said she isn't alone, and that many of you do this.) I think that sort of activity is very unhealthy.
It's not your place to bash anyone here on this blog whether you did it once or many times. I don't care whether you think that's fair or hypocritical or whatever other opinion you have, I really don't CARE, just don't do it on our turf.
WHy don't you start your own blog since you have so many issues with this one.
"I can tell you how they pair me up,” Tony joked. “I mean, whoever fails the psychiatric evaluation, I tend to get them, or physical evaluation. And every once in awhile somebody slips through, like Melissa or Stacy."

I see, thanks! So he did throw most of his past partners under the bus by implying he gets the psychos and gimps. Gosh he is punchy lately!
You are certainly entitled to your opinion, as we all are. Of course, the way you phrase things can result in the post being deleted, as you've seen.
Feel free to dissent from the popular trend here, but keeping a gentle, non-judgemental tone to other posters is the way to go.
Make your point, just do it with manners, respect and dignity.
Take a moment to check out how others dissent. We are not all blind followers and do disagree from time to time. The key is being respectful and polite.
Well the shoe just dropped on Jon, Kate's lawyer is claiming he was relieved of all child support payments as of April 2012. What is going on with Jon?
Admin-maybe a certain person should visit the pro Kate blogs, where they constantly bash Jon and delve into his life, and where they are now also bashing Tony, and tell them the same thing.
Oh dear I agree with the fans this time I kind of think Tony's gone to far. When he stars throwing all of his partners under the bus except for whoever he singled out Melissa, it really does start to sound like Tony is just being a jerk.
ANd yes Permanent Name we usually do a good job disagreeing here without all the drama.
Do you think Tony had to sign a CA when he worked with Kate and that it has now expired? Why is he spouting off two years later? I personally think it is funny, but probably time to stop. He has now made his point. If rumors are true that Kate made him enter her house through the basement door and treated him second rate, like she was the star and he was unworthy - maybe he is holding a bit of a grudge. It must be really annoying when interviewers press on about Kate, like that reporter in Las Vegas was doing.
I find that at times I get so blisteringly pissed at a poster here (yes, usually a stoopid sheeple or troll) that I want to verbally blast them to planet Jupiter.
I've learned to take a breath and leave the blog site.
I do this for two reasons: first, Miss Manners compels me to be polite and respectful; second, it's not worth my time or mental health to be so angry toward a nameless, faceless cyber-idiot.
Also, I begin to feel really humiliated when a stranger online can make me lose my temper. Frustrated face here, so I walk away.
Usually when I come back a few days later the cyber-idiot has magically vanished. Or been magically banished.
I've seen others here embrace the same self-control and it's admirable that we can be so adult and logical about cyber anger. This is a good blog.
So, that's my two cents for tonight. I'm such a font of suggestions, aren't I - ROFLMAO!
Forgive my high horse here. But I have to say, the view is extraordinary from up here - ha ha.
Tony has always had a bit of a temper that's made me uncomfortable.
I remember some story about how he gave Carrie Ann the finger once when they were feuding over one of the rules. I'm pretty sure it was Tony admitting he did it or Carrie Ann saying it or something--a first person account.
It just seemed, well, over the top. His anger scares me.
OT: does anyone know when it's time to move baby guppies to a 10 gallon tank? The males, seem to be almost full grown, the females are still small 1/2 an inch. Yes, I findly got a real count and there are 10 fish not 11 as I thought. I have 3 males, 2 of which are brothers(they look exactly a like), the 3rd males is more black & orange. The other 7 are female, and you can tell from their coloring which are sisters. I been dredding this day, why can't they stay mini-fish. They are in a 5 gallon. So should I wait a while or move them?

This is totally off topic, but it's pretty well known that there is tension between Michael Phelps and his dad and that his parents have been divorced for years and his mom and sisters raised him.
Anyway, I stumbled across an old article where a repeater was trying to get the dirt about what this is all about from his dad, who is a state trooper.
His dad basically said look this really isn't about me, this is about Michael and his time to shine. Thanks for asking.
I think it's so commendable that no one in this family airs their dirty laundry, and that everyone has worked hard to keep the focus on their child, Michael, even though it's obvious there are issues. Kate and Jon could learn from that.
I wanna see a tweet or pic about Steve. Surely he is standing guard at her booth from all those dangerous blogger ladies!
What a gig she gets. All costs covered in NYC and swag. And you guys are right. She kept quiet because she does not want to deal with her 20 fans.
The dress may be appropriate, but look how tall she is. I bet she has hooker heels on.
She's not going to get swag like the swag the attendees (the REAL bloggers) get. She's not a paying professional, but someone tending a booth.
She can walk around and get pens and pencils and keychains or whatever, but the swag bags are for those who paid $300 or so to attend all three days. That wouldn't include our Grifty.
Nice to see her looking somewhat covered up, but that bust is burstin' out all over, and she looks wretched, unlike the others in the photo, who seem to understand what "photo op" means.
What a loser. Hope CC is happy with their "investment".
I actually really like Kates dress (I have a simular one in white), but is she a little over dressed?
She just has to wear those heels so she can be above the rest. Poor wittle schmoops, her feet must ache at the end of the day. Hope Stevie gives them a good wub.
I think Kate looks decent. Her hair is getting so long- extensions? And although she stands sideways in one or two of the photos she looks fairly modest and 'normal.' But yes, we can't see her shoes, lol. I think being a CC blogger embarrasses her- it's too mediocre for her, except when she can hide behind self- exalting columns about her riches and keen ideas.
TLC stinks...
Yeah, she may have hooker heels on. I can't fault her for her heels, just the fact she has lousy taste in them. I love heels. I'm 5'6". My husband says he's 5'10" but I argue he is only 5'9". My heels are usually 3 - 4 inches in height and when I wear the 4" ones I'm taller than him. The short girl in the picture above looks like even if she had 4" heels on she would only reach about 5'6".
Oh she is a useless tool. CC employs her as a {talentless} blogger. She is at a conference for bloggers, all of whom are way more talented than her, as are most of us here. CC is paying her way, and consider her a marquee player at their booth today. And yet her twitter is stone cold silent. She really lacks a smart gene, or 2. And they pay for her useless tool companion too. Uneffingbelievable.
And yes, she's overdressed - I have seen that style of dress at cocktail parties and weddings this summer season. It may be longer, but it is still tight and overdone, look at the other women.
The ladies that are in that picture with her are all vloggers on Youtube. I hope they don't bring her into their mom's view show they have going. I can't tell you how much I don't like seeing them with her. But notice she doesn't have that big fake smile on her face. By the way the tiny one just ran in the marathon in San Francisco. It was her first time and she ran the half. She talked about how bad her knees hurt her. Her husband has ran 2 full and 1 half. He described how much damages it does to your feet and how he has lost nails from running. Yet Kate is in heels the day after her full? Yeah I believe she ran a full. (insert eye roll)
She is overdressed. Another way to draw attention to herself.

Are you stating this as fact or your own assumption? If you think that those working an event don't usually get swag, you are wrong.

There is nothing "bursting out all over." No cleavage, nothing. It's a conservative dress. Did you want her to look like Laura Ingalls Wilder?
The dress is lovely. See I can say something positive about Kate when its due.
However, the 4 other ladies look like genuine everyday people; fresh faced and appropriately dressed for a day on a conference floor. Kate looks like she's playing Hollywood.
Having done many a booth at a conference myself the dress of the day was business attire but with comfortable shoes. Kate is probably wearing "sit down" shoes. YOu know the ones that that hurt you're feet if you stand in the them a long time.
And another thing the 4 ladies hairdo's look like they did themselves. All do's are clean, healthy and shiny. Kate's not so much.

There's major stress across the bust. I call it bustin' out all over. You can call it whatever you want.
Yes, she'll get swag. But she won't get the VIP swag provided to conference attendees. She's not a peer of the REAL bloggers. That would be the point, and it's not one old Grifty is going to miss.
Hence that charming expression.
Yes, the other four ladies look GREAT! Totally appropriate, cute and a hell of a lot younger then Kate.
Kate sticks out like a sore thumb in that picture.
Oh, I like the dress too. I love orange. But she has dressed it up with those very long earrings. More appropriate for dinner than a convention. Tells me Steve is around. It's like she dresses for him (I am hot, your wife is not).
Another pic of Kate. She's smiling-must have been the first on taken.
http://instagram.com/p/N3s650lh1T/
If the swag is those orange bags, I could do without one!
Kate does not have a name tag around her neck like the others do.
I had a post and then it disappeared. I was saying how those ladies that are in the picture are all vloggers on Youtube. They all have their separate channels and they have a show together called The Moms View. The short one just ran a half marathon in San Francisco. It was her first. While training for this she told about how bad her knees hurt and had to ice them. She said that really hurt at the end of the half she ran. Her husband trained and has ran in 2 full and 1 half. He described how bad it is on his feet and how he and other runners have lost their nails from running. Yet Kate ran her "full" marathon and then was seen in heels the next day. Yeah I believe she ran a full marathonn (insert eye roll here) Notice how unfriendly she looks in this picture. Where are those blinding veneers? These are mom's here. They dress like moms not like they are going to a cocktail party. Yes I like her dress but not for this occasion. She totally doesn't fit in with this crowd.

The first thing I noticed was the smiles on the others. I don't know how I would describe the look on K's face - maybe annoyed that she is being photographed with these mediocre people.
I like her dress; she is covered up for once - but red, I don't know. Red, the power colour, it yells "Look at ME"....but then that's Kate.

Yes, the dress is nice, but it is a little tight. At least her jock strap/thong isn't showing like it was when she was in the DWTS audience.
The hair, not so much. At least it's combed and out of her face. She'd look so much better with a much shorter cut and low-lights in it. It's just too long, makes her look like she's all face, and it's way too blonde.
******
I couldn't agree more! I was just being restrained. The blondes standing next to her in the photo have far better coloring and styling. If I had a thick head of straight hair, oh to dream! My fine curls could never get long and luscious, but I make do with what I have, given my hair and features.
But everything you said about Kate's hair styling is correct. No texture, no movement, it drags her face down and the color is awful. She has such a great head of hair if only she'd let someone professional style her without her insisting on hair curtains all the time.
She'd also look great with a poofed head and pony tail. Sharp.
I keep wondering why anyone would ever want to pose with her. I wouldn't come within 100 feet of Kate Gosselin. That kind of evil has a smell.
I'm noticing how prickly and defensive her sheeple are lately. Coming over here under three different names and anonymous and angrily depending everything this wretched creature does.
The 50/50 custody split really has them rattled and I kept wondering why. I think it's because it completely shatters once and for all the conceit of Kate the Super Mom Who Does It All. She's just a little man behind a curtain, frantically spinning wheels and urging people to look the other way.
Kate is a twit: we should call that dress the red mummy dress. That's what it looks like.
Depending = defending
Look at all of the cute, normal looking ladies posing with the hooker. I bet none of them have heels on .. more likely tennis shoes or sandals.
The dress isn't too bad, if it were after dark and she was out for drinks or dinner. But working the show floor for a freakin' COUPON conference The Shrew looks her typical trashy, self involved self. Is she ever appropriate?
I cant believe what a leathery, fried, OLD looking hag she has become in her obsession to look 'good' and be noticed. Funny to think that the old kHate with the 'Something About Mary' hair would have looked cute and fit right into a blogger conference like this.
Another Fail.
Admin: I got you about the drive-bys, will try to ignore them. They are lost with out their leader.
oops they both showed up. Sorry something wacky going on with the blog today. Here one minute gone the next and then back.

If the picture is enlarged, you can see that the dress is pieced together on the diagonal and is probably made of a stretchy material. When looked at in the original view, the vertical lines from the piecing look like pulling. IMO, the dress fits perfectly, but I don't think it is appropiate for a business event. I wore a similar dress in a deep plum to my son' wedding and it is extremely flattering--especially in the waist area. If she is representing the business, she should be dressed more professionally. If she added a jacket, it would be fine. As usual, Kate is promoting herself. And that is why that is all she has on her plate.
33 is me. I think I had better stop hitting the rumplespringer so early in the day. lol
Chefsummer: your post on the previous thread: Kates fans know exact who they are. And where they belong to Kate. So, one of Kates: fans, sheeple, lackey, definded her and the rest to be slaves. I guess they do know where they belong. LOLOLOLOL
I like Kate's dress (and imagine it would look great in plum!) and I think it fits her perfectly. She's there more making a "stah" appearance than being a blogger, so I get that she's going to "put on the dog" and play the part.
And, she's only standing in those heels, not walking on concrete floors all day long. Again, it's part of the whole ensemble.
Just to expect Kate to do this in walking shoes is too funny. This is the woman who wore (or tried to wear) 4 inch gladiator sandals to visit the Statue of Liberty and spiked boots to a corn maze. Common sense is not her forte.
Some podiatrist is going to love her in another decade or so.
This must be her job at the convention for CC to have her picture taken. Still waiting to see the shoes :)
My, how the mighty have fallen.

I agree Sport. She didn't hear the 15-minute timer go off. She is so overdone now she's crispy on both sides.
She'd also look great with a poofed head and pony tail. Sharp.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
The thing is, though, that when she pulls her hair back, Donkey Shrek comes through. A short cut, wispy bangs, color-on-color and she'd look so much better. I guess she'll never give up the Malibu Barbie look.
I still like the dress. It's such an improvement over the hooker look. A jacket would look nice with it. She'll never dress business-professional, so this one works for her. Maybe she's planning a night at the Fig and just didn't want to change before dinner. It's a good color for her.
If you go to twazzup kateplus8: some of the sheeple took pics with Kate. I see CC changed their schedule, Kate was do to do pics in the afternoon, 3-5. Maybe CC thought to nap the people now and not wait, they may not come back later. Some will, but most won't cause they have workshops and seminars.
How long do you think it will take for Kate to tweet? She is just about done with her first booth time. Will she tweet or go to lunch. She has until 3pm, will she tweet between 1p-3p or will she roam the convention hall, or will she go back to the hotel. Now that CC has seen Kate at their booth, I wonder if they will have her tomorrow, unless, CC wants her to attend a few workshops & seminars.

I think it would be a VERY good idea for Kate to attend some workshops! Maybe learn something about blogging? I hope CC insists!

Her sheeple want Kate to be on: Momsblog? which is a youtube type blog.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Have you noticed that most of the drive-bys offer nothing to the discussions other than to pick apart comments on other posts with their snippy remarks? Why is that?
she has absolutely no idea how to dress. The dress is pretty...for a cocktail party or a night out. Not for daytime office or conference wear. She has no sense.
Many years ago at a conference I had the pleasure of meeting Linda Blair of Exorcist (the movie) fame. She was dressed like the four ladies in the picture. Linda was the nicest person to talk to. Since there was no one else in line at the time, though there was a considerable line earlir in the day, she and I talked technical details about horse showing. A hobby we both had in common. When we finished talking she graciously let me take her picture and I got her autograph which I still have to this day. I fondly remember how down to earth she was and never once tried to make me feel inferior/mediocre or beneath her.
She didn't display the "look at me, I'm a star" appearance or attitude. It was a wonderful meeting and one I treasure to this day.
Other than Kate's "posse" I wonder if her fans will have the same great experience I did when I met Ms. Blair.
Well, Steve is definitely there. One person tweeted:
"Love that @xxxx just asked Kate gosselin and her body guard if they were dating"
The same person tweeted this pic:

Admin, I think the real reason Jon got the kids 50/50 is because the kids wanted to be with Jon more. Kate would never give up the money voluntarily. Kate has no qualms about dumping them with teen girls anytime she has a chance to travel, and be with Stevie. That's why she was in the dumps in April.
Also, I think the kids are old enough to tell Jon and judge what they think of their mother and how she treats them.
Bingo. Stevie is there. So the question is, are they shacked up together at the hotel? Come clean, Kate.
Ooh, tough decisions, play with Steve or play with Deanna? Does Fig and Olive have her table ready? And has CC figured out that only thing KG has come to promote is herself? Anyone else there with a bodyguard? Anyone?
OrangeCrush, the only reason Kate needs a bodyguard is to protect Kate from his own wife. If I were Gina...well, I cannot even put it into words.
The convention is at the NYC Hilton. Wanna bet they have adjoining rooms? Or one room? Romantic dinner for two tonight? Geez, I hope someone gets the money shot.
Kate looks cute for once.

HA.
I can see her sheep carrying Kate around and feeding her grapes while fanning her.
Like they did with the kings in Egypt bahh all hail to their queen.
Her dress is covering the girls and the rear but to my way of thinking, it certainly is inappropriate for the occasion. She is very much over-dressed. It ain't a cocktail party.
I actually like the dress but wouldn't wear it to a daytime convention. That being said, I think Kate's job for CC is to just stand there and get her picture taken so for that it's probably appropriate. I think that CC is smrt enough to have REAL bloggers manning the booth and talking about blogging and/or CC. Kate would come off sounding like an idiot when talking to real bloggers. Now before you jump all over me sheeple, we've heard her talk about couponing and CC in interviews and, um, well honestly, to tell you the truth, she just doesn't cut it.
http://instagram.com/p/N38VIUA8zA/
1. It doesn't seem like Steve wants to be there in this photo.
2. Kate looks like a vampire to me in this photo.
Oh NO! Paige follows those woman from The Mom's View. She is tweeting them telling them to get her on their show. Apparently they are thinking about it. Paige is also tweeting Kate and telling her she needs to try to get on that show because it will open new doors for her. I don't think any of those ladies has a clue about Kate and what she is like. These are just moms that really interact and love their kids. By the way Martha Stewart is there. She is dressed like all the other moms, pants and a top. She is on stage speaking. Oh and Paige is asking these moms if they will vlog Kate if she gets up to speak. What is wrong with that child?
I'd be willing to bet my house that Martha Stewart is at the conference without a bodyguard.
bm
I must say, her dress is an improvement from the past dresses she's worn.
The ladies posing with Kate are v-bloggers online (A Mom's View).
A Mom's View ladies posted on twitter that they are working on getting Kate to fly out to California, and appear on their "show".
I wonder if they can afford Kate?
Or at least, have an employment opportunity to offer her?
So what...21
I was responding to another poster who made the comment that Kate was towering over everybody so she probably had heels on. With heels on, the tiny one might reach about 5'6" tall, thus she would still not tower over any one in that picture. That was my point.
Not a big fan of bandage dresses, personally but she doesn't look bad. I agree that she should cut her hair. Not short short like before but she does look better/younger with shorter hair.
Is that Steve in the reflection? I didn't think it looked like him. Too think and the hair looked wrong.
I see Kate twitter lackeys are now saying that Jon was abusing his kids. What a bunch of sickos.
I think the dress looks good and is perfectly appropriate to the venue and her role there. This is actually one of the few times I like what she is wearing.
Pink, Kate would JUMP at the chance to do A Mom's View. Anything to keep herself relevant.
Hey, I need some advice. We just adopted an 11 month old Lab mix from the shelter. We've started group training and I've got some private session starting next week, however we're having a big problem with jumping and play biting as well as leash biting. He's a beautiful dog and we already love him to pieces. He's very smart and is responding to training but is easily distracted.
Any suggestions? We're walking 2x a day, 30 minutes at a time and working on playing fetch. He prefers to play tug of war with his rope, though which I think is just reinforcing the jumping/biting. Anything in your hands he jumps or bites for. I would love to take him to the park and let him run around off leash but he doesn't know "come yet". Also, we're trying to introduce him to our cat and it's getting better but it means he's either on leash or in his crate while inside (otherwise he chases the cat). So unfortunately he's outside in his dog run when I'd rather him be inside with the "pack".
So any advice to this new doggy mom would be very appreciated. Thanks!
Someone needs to teach Kate what business casual is and how to piece those outfits together. It seems to be standard for most of the conferences I have been at. I will admit that I am clueless when it comes to fashion. So, I go to someplace like Cold Water Creek. I talk to the sales person and they are always able to help me pull an outfit together that looks great and that I am comfortable in. You can get items from there for a great price if you wait for sales, use coupons or shop in the clearance area.
I forgot to add that he is doing well with walking but still pulls on the leash. Has anyone tried head harness walking and what did you think? It sounds promising on principle.

Steve's there? Surprise surprise.
Although I guess just because someone asked her if they were dating it doesn't necessarily mean he WAS there. But I would be shocked if he wasn't.
Pretty sad that she's so clueless she has to drag him around wherever she goes. She's a tool and he's the toolbox.
I like the dress and feel it fits Kate fine. However, I also agree that the dress is more suitable for an evening function, and is not business casual, or business-professional. I looked at the picture that has a reflection of a man who looks like Skeevy. If he is there, then Kate still has plenty of money. The fact that he and Gina are still married, but he still travels with Kate, tells me that he will stick around as long as the money holds out. Gina must feel very confident that her little Skeever is merely venal and not an adulterer.
Is she wearing the famous 'friends' necklace? Is that a signal that Jamie is around or just that they are still friends?

Since Kate is hosting the booth and the other "casual ladies" in the pic ARE NOT, I think she looks perfectly fine. In fact, I think she looks beautiful here.
It's ironic that Coupon Cabin has her as their representative. Her DWTS blog on Coupon Cabin has 58 posts, with only two (2) being positive and both positive posts are from the SAME person.
The people at Coupon Cabin cannot be too bright.

The bright people end up 'leaving her' as evidenced by TLC using her to ride the multiples reality phenomen, then kicking her to the curb when she became too difficult and entitled to deal with anymore and the ratings were slipping, Jon when he woke up and got out of an abusive marriage, the volunteers and all the other people in PA who quickly saw thru her scheming, and the entertainment industry.
Coupon Cabin will eventually wise up and fire her flat ass.

Congrats on the new pup! The dog is still young so probably will not give up those habits for a while...maybe toys like a Kong or dog bones he can chew independently in a dog bed would help. Also of course praise! Don't show too much interest in the biting/tugging as he wants to please. Tug of war is well-loved by dogs but only on your terms/place/time. My husband does that with our dog and it's a very bad habit- she destroyed other people's things as well. But now that she's older she only does it with her own toys, so there's hope! He will learn 'down' in time as well. Good luck!

Do we know for a fact that Steve and Gina are still together? What happened to sources who told either admin or Preesi (I am not sure if it was both or one of them) that Steve was spotted about Kate's town doing errands some weekends? Is he still seen around Reading/Wernersville or is that a thing of the past now that Kate no longer has a show.
Now there's a picture of Kate floating around on the internet that will not embarrass her children. Everything's covered. Good job, Kate.
Katie I can't remember where that came from about Steve about town but no one has told me that.
Tony dissed Kate in an interview today.
The article doesn't really specify Kate too much but note the headline. In the article there is a link to a video of part of the interview. What he says about Kate is at 2:00. To quote--
"I wasn't her husband, I was her teacher. You have to be nice to me, and she wasn't."
Will there be another CC DWTS post coming up?

There are a lot of article now about Kate being rejected by DWTS. Here's another video from E!, which a lot of media websites have picked up.
http://www.eonline.com/videos/189721/kate-gosselin-rejected-from-dwts?cmpid=sn-120726-facebook-na-eentertainment
Dear V-Blogger Moms,
Kate will drop everything for a trip to CA IF:
- you buy her (and companion/bodyguard) a First Class ticket
- provide 5* accomodations, including limos and Nobu
- pay her a handsome speaker's fee
Yah, thought so. And look Kate, these bloggers are apparently able to get Twitter to work at the conference hotel. Milo may figure that out soon too.
And oh yes, that is so Skeevey reflected in the hotel door. Hats off to whoever called it - a tool and her toolbox.
Ok, thank you admin. I am thinking that it was one of Preesi's sources. What I don't understand is if Kate and Steve are indeed a couple, why not just admit it? It has been three years since the divorce and I am sure no one would be shocked. I am sure the sheeple would all congratulate her and give the relationship their blessings. If they are not in a relationship, it baffles me why he is still around.
I like the dress Ms Kreider is wearing, it is very flattering to her figure and appropriate for her role doing promotion for cc.
Ms Kreider is still boring.

Wow - that's a definite slam on Kate. In the beginning of the interview when her name comes up and he makes a disgusted face and then a bit later when he mentions some contestants failing the 'psych exam'.
"I wasn't her husband, I was her teacher. You have to be nice to me, and she wasn't."
******
Oh snap. To me this says that Kate would have been well in the running for a return in the All Stars season if she didn't burn bridges.
I hope she learns from this, because DWTS All Stars is a major opportunity for anyone who needs a kick start to their career. She'd have been right there in LA, interviews galore, microphone in hand, Billy Bush with his lips reattached to her ass...
Hey y'all, everyone who had kept up with the saga of the dh with the torn Achilles tendon. We went back to ortho today and he is happy with dh progress. He got second cast today, and foot is now casted in neutral position. Still no weight on it. In 3 weeks, if all goes well, he can get walking cast. Best thing is that, except for the first two postop days, his pain has been none to minimal.
Sadly, in the photo of Kate entering the hotel (where Steve's reflection is seen in the door) the outline of Ms. Kate's underwear is visible - ye old dreaded VPL. In a dress as close fitting as this one (or transparent as the silver thing she wore at The Grove) appropriate smoothing undergarments are necessary. Why, oh why does she not check these things before heading out the door? There might not be comments about "unnerwears" such as the caption on the picture.
Oh well.
Why, oh why does she not check these things before heading out the door?
+++++++++++++++++
Maybe Stevie checks it before she heads out the door and says, "You look fantastic, Kite!" That's all she needs to hear.
Told ya she'd be looking for a free manicure - or at least free nail polish. She's so freaking predictable.

The reason Steve is still around: MONEY. She has it, he wants it. It's simply that. If there is sex involved, nobody knows for sure.
And nobody knows what the status of his marriage is. If they are still together, then she is either thick skinned, likes the money he has earned from Kate, or doesn't give a damn. Personally, my radar would be on high alert if my husband was alone with someone who was obviously so dependent on him and dressed like a tramp most of the time. He must like playing the bodyguard role and having her swoon over him. Anyway, the whole relationship is not normal and that's why we are scratching our heads as to "are they" or "aren't they"?
BTW, I totally believe he did and may still be spending the night at the Konpound before they leave on their trips. I bet the kids tell Jon pleeenty.
I would like to kind of clarify what I said about my parents. First of all they both have passed on and I don't like to speak bad of the dead. Both of my parents couldn't read . My mom was pulled out school when she was about six or seven so all family members could work so they could eat! She was smart and could self teach herself but she was always working so her children could get an education! My parents lived long enough to see their children get an education at state colleges and UC Universities and grandchildren Standford and Harvard degrees!
But they were very strict, boy were they ever!
No, we don't know what Kate's upbringing was BUT she should never blame her parents for her behavior towards her kids and should know how to use Google!!
None of my parents children disciplined their kids harshly!
Back to the conference , Kate looks nice but she would look nicer if she smiled! Is it just me or does she look miserable! Kate there are worse jobs! SMILE!!!
Thanks Collie!!!
Jane and Tucker's Mom
Oooo boy, did he slip a couple of good ones in there! ouch!! LOL
I really like Tony and he is such a gentleman! He got in, what, let's see:
1. she was lazy, didn't want to work at it.
2. she was a really bad dancer
3. she has psych problems
4. she had no respect for her teacher
5. she was too busy to give him any effort
6. she exposed herself as the person she really is - AND - the country saw her and got it
What else did I miss? LOL
And he said it in such a nice way, too. Go Tony!
I'll be rooting for him this season... I <3 Tony!
Thanks for posting the link to the video.

Love it!
TLC Stinks - agreed. Steve Nield is all about the money. I don't know if this is correct, but I do recall reading that his daily rate for "body guard" services was $1,600. TLC probably figured that paying him to make sure Kate showed up for filming and signing appearances, and didn't scare the natives too much, was worth the cost.
I was surprised to see Steve along as early as the trip to Colorado, when Beth also joined the family. Why in the world would Steve be needed on a family vacation that included Jon? Clearly, Steve had some influence or clout with Kate even back then. This is the same trip when Beth left abruptly, never to be seen or discussed again on the show. What the heck happened? What did she see or hear?
As to Gina Nield - she's an odd one as well. I can understand why at first the body guard gig was probably fine with her. Good money in tough times. But at $1,600 per day, shouldn't she and Steve have paid off their house by now and Steve be able to do some real work once again?
silimom 62 - Congrats!
For playtime, look for a fenced school playground, particularly elementary schools. That is where I take my beagle mixes to run to their hearts content. :-)
However good physical exercise is, mental stimulation is JUST as important. Teach him to find a biscuit hidden in a room. Take his dinner kibble and scatter it in the yard for him to forage. Use a Buster Cube, IQ Ball, and/or Kong to give him meals that use his brain. Scentwork is the best, but tricks are also helpful. Puppy pushups (stand, sit, and down mixed up) are another great mental exercise. Working stays with distractions (start SMALL and build up SLOWLY) also really takes a lot of mental energy. Be sure to give him a chance to release that pent up energy after though - a quick game of ball or whatever.
For biting and jumping - first see above for wearing him down physically and mentally. Spray your leash with bitter apple to discourage biting. If he's trying to tug, if at all possible, drop the leash so there is no tension. Using a two leashes on him will help with this (clipped to back and front of harness) as he can only hold one at a time, so you can always keep hold of him. Biting at you will usually go away if you keep quiet, do not engage physically (ie kicking or anything), and just turn around and withdraw your attention. If he's really bad, take him by the collar without speaking or making eye contact and put him in the crate. This will give him a chance to settle himself down. If you can keep YOUR energy calm, it will help a lot. After 60+ titles on 5 dogs you'd think I would know this but I still find myself sometimes getting my high drive pup amped up from my own frustrated energy. Breathing deep helps! :-)
Silimom I'm having the same problem with the Terrier mix we rescued about a month ago! He is about 7 months old! He loves to attack my feet! As soon as he sees me he attacks my toes! Ouch!!! He has so much energy I can't keep up with him in spite of his walks. I need help!!! He's adorable though!
Where are those pictures of Kate?
I believe I remember being told his rate is 1,000 a day. Maybe Kate had a coupon.

Good to hear. Wow, that Achilles injury takes a long time to heal. But so far , so good. Are you spoiling him rotten? :-)
I'm shocked that Kate has not tweeted once during the BlogHer conference today. Not one "hey, great women here, nice to meet you!" kind of thing.
Silimom -- Congrats on the new family member. The one piece of advice I can give you is be consistent. Don't ignore unwanted behaviors sometimes and scold or punish the same behaviors other times. A firm "NO" or "Down" each time he jumps/bites and he will get the idea quickly. The first couple of times you may need to push on his hindquarters to get him down, though.
I agree, that dress would be fine for an evening out to the theater or dinner, but it isn't appropriate for the convention. It'll be interesting to see if KK spends the entire w/e in NYC.
I just read another article about DWTS All Stars -- no mention of KK in the article but 4 or 5 comments are rejoicing that she isn't going to be on the show.
Kate wants support from her tweeties but can't even bother to give even the tiniest bit of support herself like sending out one measly little tweet at a conference. It's not fair and most people don't stick around in that kind of one sided relationship long. As they haven't.
Sweet Tart, I believe it was their trip to Utah and not Colorado when we first spotted Steve sitting behind Kate on the plane. And that was in 2007, does that sound right everybody?
hhehe! Love how Tony said he tends to get partners who fail the psychiatric evaluation.
Does anyone besides me think Kate needs a "stylist" more than she needs a bodyguard? The bandage dress is okay, but looks like cocktail attire rather than business. I've worked at major gift shows and never saw anyone working a booth dress like Kate. Trying so hard to get noticed is turning out to look desperate and pathetic.
Omg Tony. How very true that is.
Wow...tony isholding NOTHING back and either are the news shows or magazine articles about her. It is getting freakin ridiculous with the need for a bodyguard. Enough already...just come out! I know everyone loves to slam Kate regarding her fashion faux pas...I am one of them....but I will give credit where credit is due AND she does look better in this dress than anything else I have seen her wear...except the purple one that she interviewed in after her show was canceled.
I agree that the first time Steve was spotted was that trip to Utah. That trip was also the last time we saw or heard of Beth Carson. Remember, Kate's bestest friend? Something happened and we may never know. Beth moved on with her life and probably would never say anything, ever! Kate's loss for sure.
Thanks for all the doggie advice, everyone! You have great suggestions and I appreciate the support. :-) He's a good puppy and will be better with the training, but sometimes it's just overwhelming! :-) It doesn't help that I'm a "now" girl. It's nice to hear from other people that have gone through this too.

I heard one more in his interview:
When talking about how she did NOT work hard or practice, Tony said:
"It's not one that you can FAKE thru".
Her sure understood how FAKE Kate is!

Yes, it does. And he looked so young and fresh too, just like Kate. My how they've aged. (first sighting @13:03)
This was the same video where Kate was taping over the kids' names on their backpacks. Saftey and security and all that. My how things have changed.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbDAo98UykA
Sorry - I rushed when typing my post, should be:
HE sure understood how FAKE Kate is!
Well, I'll tell you one thing: Kate thinks she being very clever. Kate buttered up her fans , with all this support crap, has not said a peep, cause she does not want any of the sheeple there to spoil, what she is gonna try and do. This convention has lots of parties, after the main events are over, each day. This is a good opportunity to network. Knowing Kate as we do, and all this fake rumored dating show and the reality show Kate wants, take a minute, guess what Kate is probably, gonna do. Kate already slap CC in the face, with the Today show interview, Kate was suppose to talk about the CC App, instead she talked about herself. What you think she will do tonight? If given the op Kate would jump ship ASAP from CC. And not even bat an eye. Kate is gonna market her show, or shows, to sponsers, who might just given Kate the push she needs to make the show/shows a reality. These big companies do have connections.
And if she fails and word gets back, to CC, and if CC has a backbone, they will not only fire her for disloyality, but black ball her in that industry, and with sponsers. No one will want to be in the same room with her, it can back fire or CC will not care. This convention is about blogging and everything that is associated, with blogging, not a plateform for Kate to sell herself, a TV show, or do commercials, for these products.
And for the shit stirrers that are coming here, go look up Blogher12 website for the schedule, it does not take rocket science to figure out what Kate is capable or up to. I've been to more convention then I care to remember and do know how they work.
That is why Kate is on silence,, cause Kate knows her fans are luny, and just might spoil it for her. Just think about what happened, about the cruise, Kate might have had the numbers, but a certain fan ruined it for her.
What was Kate's response to the question about if she and her bodyguard were dating?
anger issues-Zondervan also has a booth there-maybe she'll try to sell them on one of her books.
Not everyone at the convention likes Kate. Love this tweet:

"It's not one that you can FAKE thru".

*****
Well yeah, she is ;-), but I think he literally meat fake her way through, as in, collect a big fat paycheck and think that her whole purpose on DWTS was to be the controversial, love-to-hate-contestant. That, he saw clearly and it must have been very difficult to someone with his level of professionalism and talent to try to squeeze blood from a stone with her training, or lack there of.
What I really got from the interview is that Kate simply did not put the time in, and was preoccupied with her own media circus, constantly paying attention to what was said and written about her.
I bet she was a pill.
LaLaLand, you are so right about Beth. A classy woman like Beth would simply say "My daughter's birthday is tomorrow, I really feel the need to be there with her,
call Jodi as a replacement, maybe even offer to pay her way to Utah, and never mention a thing about it ever again to anyone.
Wasn't Skeeve spotted in the pew with J&K in that one episode where they took the kids to Sunday School and then went on a picnic? Wasn't that before the Utah trip? I think someone going back over old shows after Skeeve was identified spotted that.
Silimom: congrats, on new family member! Be consistant, use hand motions, and a few words, that you can use all the time. I used a lot of : NO!, down! stop it, and ENOUGH! When the puppy does right a little treat. Practice what the trainer says. It will sink in. Patience.
I just noticed something Kate said in the Utah video. She said next time they take a trip they were going to Hawaii to get re-married. I think she actually meant it as a joke but then decided that's what she wanted.
By the time the vow-renewal trip rolled around I think Jon and Kate hated each other.
I said in a previous thread that I don't think that Steve and Kate are a couple because I just don't thin he can be that stupid.
She may have feelings for him, but I don't think they are returned. To him, it was a good paying job. The money was worth dealing with Kate.
Now, with times being what they are in the job market, he has to hold onto what he has. He's lost all credibility, in my opinion, as a bodyguard and security person after his ridiculous stint with Kate. Therefore, he has to hang onto what he has that he's collecting a paycheck for.

I think it tells you how highly-produced their shows were. According to Aunt Jodi's sister, they'd plan out the shows well in advance and I bet you Kate did already know that Hawaii was planned. Just like the new camera, the new carpet, DWTS...
To whoever it was above that spoke about what Martha Stewart might be wearing (from the tweeter who offered free stuff for the first one who flips Kate off):
@Notketchup
@grandmasf I'm not there or I'd be doing the flipping myself! Martha Stewart was wearing a casual button up shirt and slacks.
I'm surprised Her Heinous didn't insist on CENTER of group (and it actually would have looked better, plus put the shortest on an end). She looks overdressed considering the attire of the four others. The look on her face comes off as smug (well, that IS her natural look, so what was I thinking?).
Ugh, "Reality TV Stars Who Went Broke"

And in the lead off position, Jon Gosselin.
readerlady: I think the Utah trip (aired March 2008) was before the Memorial Day picnic epi at church and the park. I could be wrong, but it seems to me the kids were older in the latter.
What struck me when I skimmed through the clip were the freebies: the jackets and accessories, the trip and the luxurious accommodations, and then the whole ski package etc. Wow.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIPHyIb15ws&feature=relmfu
This is the Memorial Day epi.Couldn't find the airdate. Jon did 99% of the work. Plenty of shower, clothes changing,diaper/unnerwear scenes & Leah asking about girls' 'boops' and Kate saying 'big girls have big boops'- I guess she'd know although then hers were just mediocre!)
Also, sorry to say, how bratty the kids seemed !
Tucker's Mom - I'll bet Kate just let it slip out then. She must have been a real headache for the producers. They deserved one another.

Has anyone posted pics of Kate AT her booth? Or didn't anyone go near it?
Once a Viewer, readerlady - IMDB has the chronological order of the episodes. The Utah trip was in Feb 2008 and the church episode was in May of 2008.
teentruthis
hopefully i see @kateplusmy8 in Pennsylvania
teentruthis
i remember how when i was little i always wanted to go to Pennsylvania to meet @Kateplusmy8, i'm finally going, but doubt i'm meeting kate:(
teentruthis
am i the only one who didn't know that there's no taxes in Pennsylvania :O
I guess so. Then why in the world am I paying local and state tax, spring taxes, fall taxes, taxes on utility bills, and everything else under the sun? The state can do away with the Department of Revenue! If only I would have known!
Where does Kate pick up these sheeple? This one is a teenage guy (I think)!
Has anyone posted pics of Kate AT her booth? Or didn't anyone go near it?

AuntinAnn, there are 4 pictures total on Kate's Twitter feed (See "Top Images" at sidebar on left):

all in front of the screen, but no picture of the actual booth yet.
Not to mention, PA is one big state. Why would you go and assume you'd ever in a million years run into her?

Meanwhile, back in reality...she is there doing her job, which is to be a known face that draws people to the CC booth. Nothing more, nothing less. She is not supposed to where clothing that makes her look like the average blogger mom, she is supposed to attract attention. Again, that is what she is being paid to do.

I just saw a close-up of Kate in post#18 in her red dress. That is no way a day-time conference blogging dress. It is wrapping all around her screaming look at all MY PARTS! I think because it isn't showing her boobs and the length is right above the knee that some people may think that the dress is appropriate. I think she is trying to be sexy with all the tight wrapping. Yuck!
Wake up: Kate has always had her own agenda, of course she will do her job there, but given the opportunity Kate would jump ship. She tried that with CC on the Today show, instead of promoting the CC Apps, Kate was promoting herself. Kate is quite capable of being disloyal. You really think, Kate wants to be a blogger. No! She wants to be on TV again. Kate has bitten the hand that has fed her several times over the last 8 years. Instead of promoting CC every chance she gets, do some research, and make herself look like a shining star, where maybe, one or more of these vendors might want her to do commercials for them. A beginning step, back to TV.
Not to mention, PA is one big state. Why would you go and assume you'd ever in a million years run into her?

------------------------------
I just really liked this statement of Tony's because it summed up how she was portrayed on TV by TLC. She was a FAKE.
She didn't really do the work of a Mom. As much as TLC tried to make us believe she did, we saw the truth. Kate was able to FAKE the role of Mom for years. She NEVER did the work. She had TLC behind her to hire everyone to do the work for her.
But on DWTS, there was no one who could do the dancing for her. Tony saw 1st hand how Kate would NOT work hard. He spent enough time with her to understand that she had everything done for her while she continued to act like she did it all. He saw that her public image was a FAKE. And no matter how many nannies, cooks, housekeepers, bodyguards TLC could pay, Kate still had to do the work on DWTS. And she did not want to work at it just like she did not work at being the Mom that TLC faked the viewers to believe.
Yeah - so good for Tony saying Kate could NOT FAKE her way on DWTS!
This convention is about blogging and everything that is associated, with blogging, not a plateform for Kate to sell herself, a TV show, or do commercials, for these products.
++++++++++++++++
I agree, but with each blog she does for CC, she sells herself, not CC. They just let it pass without doing anything, despite the negative comments. Why would this be any different?
Tweet-le De - Thanks for the links. Poor Kate, you'd think at least one of her 100,000 twitter "fans" lived in NYC and would be willing to spend $150 to see her.

I said the same thing word for word a few post back.
I can't really say one way or the other what exactly Coupon Cabin thinks Kate's role is.
My best guess is they don't really have a role for her other than to just be her which results in as many hits and buzz to the site as possible. It explains why they allow completely irrelevant blogs throwing Pam Andersen under the bus and things of that nature.
Sheesh. I meant to say...you'd think at least one of her 100,000 twitter "fans" lived in NYC and would be willing to spend $150 to see her and take a pic of her at her booth.

She keeps throwing these love pats at the sheeple, something she hasn't done before. Does she know something is up (Gosselinbook) and she needs them to continue to worship her no matter what?
You know this may be an unpopular opinion but as funny as Tony is when he spouts off about Kate, I think he needs to stop. He's made it pretty clear he can't stand her, I don't think he needs to remind us every time he's interviewed. It's kind of transformed from hysterical feud, to wow, maybe Tony is kind of being a jerk.
*runs and hides!*
Auntie Ann and Once a Viewer -- Thank you. I did check it out (On TV.com -- another excellent resource for TV shows current and historical) when I got home and was on my laptop. You are correct. The Memorial Day show was a couple of months after the ski trip. For some reason, I was thinking the Memorial Day show was the previous season.
Admin-I think he needs to stop too, but it's must be hard when that is the first person he's asked about when he does an interview. Perhaps, it was also a little bit of retaliation for her CC blog about him.

Ha! I watched the video and it seems that the interviewer was HAMMERING away at the Kate questions. He laughed it off at first but then started to answer honestly and he just hasn't been that forthcoming before.
Perhaps Tony can let loose a tad now because Kate was not chosen to be on DWTS. Can't imagine she'll ever be asked back and that means he doesn't have to be as diplomatic as before.
After all, he is Mr. Nice Guy ;-). Maks would never show such restraint, bad boy that he is!
Sherry Baby said... 142
The person that Kate sent that tweet to is the same one who asked her if she and Jon had 50/50 custody. Kate didn't reply to that tweet and I doubt if she ever will. I also doubt that that tweeter will ask again.
The fact that Kate won't respond to a simple question says quite a lot.
Respectfully disagree. Tony is gracious and kind in his honesty.
It's called karma. I'm sure kart thinks they were best buds (at least that what the lying snot twitters) and she deserves to have folks speak honestly about her.
I think he was as gracious about it as he could be. He could have been a lot nastier.
And actually, he did keep quiet for a long time. I've only heard him 'gently criticize' her twice. Honesty is a bitch to kart. I'm sure he's swallowed just about all he could take and decided 'hey, let's get some gentle honesty out there'.
He did try to soften it a bit by saying 'she had a lot going on in her life at that time'...
Anyway, it's others who are asking him about her. For him to say 'oh no, it was fine' would be transparently false and would continue to defer to teflon kart.
I'm all for Team Tony. I doubt we'll hear too much more from him on the debaucle that was kart.
It was kind of nasty to throw all the other partners he's had under the bus with that psychiatric comment. Yikes!
Yes okay Tony always draws the short straw but come on he doesn't have that bad of a gig in Hollywood.
I actually feel bad for Tony. Kate's ghost will haunt him forever. A moment on his hips, forever on everyone's lips.
Well I guess in fairness it must be very annoying to constantly be hammered away at about Kate. That was a long time ago, I'm sure he just wants to move on.
(damn rumpsringa made me lose my train of thought)
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
A friend of mine is opening a new restaurant and bar and I'm going to suggest that one of the "special" drinks be called The Rumspringa. Of course it will have to have rum in the mix...I just need to figure out what else. Any ideas?
Maybe we'll call it Auntie Ann's Rumspringa!
Moose I actually think a Rumspringa would be a great name for a drink especially in PA. I'd put some kind of German alcohol in it.
I'm glad Tony is speaking bad about Kate! It's about time, she has been nurtured and coddled through the years. Jon has had to endure ridicule about everything you can think of! Besides she has been rewarded with a nice chunk of money, nice home and lots of cars!
About the dress, she really does not have any sense of how to dress! At least she is not dressed like she is going to her junior prom! What she needs is a new haircut and hair color! That would help her a lot!
I think if Kate had been completely ignoring him it would be a lot harder to take. It's true she did have the last word last time.
You know this may be an unpopular opinion but as funny as Tony is when he spouts off about Kate, I think he needs to stop.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I agree. It's run its course and it starts to wear thin after awhile. There are times when you need to know when to zip it, and this is one of the times.
Berks 134 and Barbee 122,
LOL - I've called her 'her heiness' for years!
:-) The definition fits, exactly.....
I ngree that Tony gets backed into corners by these interviewers. I can't see him showing up on Leno and using Kate as his planned story to talk about. He does not talk about her unless somebody else brings it up. And I think if he were to say "no comment", they would not let it go. Did you see how giddy that interviewer was when Kate was the subject?. SHE wanted to talk about Kate. No was not going to mean no to her.
I meant Berks 131... sorry
chefsummer, two great minds that think alike. Lol!
Besides, I'm sure Tony would like the Kate questions to go away. Who wants THAT to be what everyone remembers about his time on DWTS?
He's an incredible dancer and choreographer, and
all anyone wants to talk about is how hard Kate was to deal with. He always looks very uncomfortable when he's asked about that.
For the love of god can whoever you are, JUST WONDERING or whoever you are, could you please stop picking on anger issues? It's really uncalled for.
I'll say it one more time, if you have an issue with someone on the blog, me or someone else, email it to me and we'll discuss it. It's nasty to do what you are doing and you know it. Personal problems with people are off topic and not allowed, period.
Tony also makes fun of himself.
"He was asked if he thinks Derek Hough has it easy 'cause Derek tends to get hot partners who can already dance. "Yeah, he's America's Sweetheart," Tony said, adding, "The difference between, let's say Maks and Derek, with them girls say 'Oh, I love you!' When they see me they go 'My mom loves you!'"

You know this may be an unpopular opinion but as funny as Tony is when he spouts off about Kate, I think he needs to stop. He's made it pretty clear he can't stand her, I don't think he needs to remind us every time he's interviewed. It's kind of transformed from hysterical feud, to wow, maybe Tony is kind of being a jerk.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't disagree with you. But I do wonder how exactly it is that you think that Tony should stopm when you're running a blog that spouts off, often in a funny, entertaining way, about Kate? You are posting multiple times of a day about her, and you don't even know her and she's done nothing to her. He does know her and one could argue that she did plenty to him, and he says something every several months and he's a jerk? I'm not sure I understand.
Kate is thanking that tweeter because she has done nothing but badmouth Jon on twitter all day, and totally believes all of the tabloid fodder that is out there about Jon being broke..etc...that is why Kate loves her soo much!
I am so excited for those kids to have their daddy so much more now!! I too have believed for the last while that Kate has been choosing her words very carefully in order to keep up her pretentious lifestyle. ( For you sheeple, that means the life she pretends to have, which is greater then what she actually has..)
This is REALLY getting interesting....
Moose & Admin - Great idea. Rum mixed with pineapple and a hit of jagermeister.
You have a point on that one Just Wondering.
Although Tony is a public figure who actually knows Kate personally and is frequently asked as a public figure to make statements about her. This is a blog with opinions by just private people you have to seek out if you want information about her. it's not like this blog is booking gigs with the Today Show to bash Kate.
Although to turn it around, why is it any different than what you just did to anger issues?
It was kind of nasty to throw all the other partners he's had under the bus with that psychiatric comment. Yikes!
Admin in all fairness to Tony he said that they do a psych eval and every once in awhile one slips through. I didn't take it as he always gets stuck with the psychos, just Kate. Maybe I took it wrong. If I did I apologize.
Okay, I don't drink hard liquor, just wine every now and then. However, if the Rumspringa was mixed with something orange (I love oranges!), I would try it!
Sillimom, and others, I'm late to respond about the puppy because I was enroute to a dog event for the weekend. Sounds like there are several experienced "moms" on this blog. Some of us compete in one or more activities. I love it. And let me tell you, all paid dog people know that their way is the only and right way. Jack tells you one thing one week, and Mary changes the story the next. Do what looks like it's going to work, keeping in mind breed, nature, age of puppy. I for instance gave up wearing earrings for almost a year with the last pup. He still jumps on me, loves it so much we incorporated it into a routine to do before frisbee matches. We win prizes now with that bad behavior! Enjoy, have a good time, and remember they are put here to teach us to love without screaming our heads off in frustration.
What was the actual psyche quote?
Kate is a twit said... 148
Sherry Baby said... 142
The person that Kate sent that tweet to is the same one who asked her if she and Jon had 50/50 custody. Kate didn't reply to that tweet and I doubt if she ever will. I also doubt that that tweeter will ask again.
_______________________________________________
Back in April Kate was all for correcting inaccuracies:
@LibandMa I do! That's why I state only the facts :)&only when needed. Talk abt Only things that make it to the public--& then only2correct!
Does her silence when asked that question mean the 50/50 is correct then? You’d think if the 50/50 custody is not true, she’d be eager to set the record straight when faced with the question.
It's different because I haven't bashed anger issues on an hourly basis for years. In fact, I have no idea what you are talking about above "for the love of god..", because the first time I have ever addressed anger issues was about half an hour ago (now deleted). And all I did was ask her what her user name meant and pointed out that she spends a lot of time researching Kate's life and coming up with different predictions of what will happen next (I also said she isn't alone, and that many of you do this.) I think that sort of activity is very unhealthy.
It's not your place to bash anyone here on this blog whether you did it once or many times. I don't care whether you think that's fair or hypocritical or whatever other opinion you have, I really don't CARE, just don't do it on our turf.
WHy don't you start your own blog since you have so many issues with this one.
Lovemygrandsons - sure. Real orange juice and white rum would go together well wouldn't they?
I'll write an ad for it, something along the lines of
"Drink Rumspringa - it'll keep your coils oiled"
Admin-the actual quote was:
"I can tell you how they pair me up,” Tony joked. “I mean, whoever fails the psychiatric evaluation, I tend to get them, or physical evaluation. And every once in awhile somebody slips through, like Melissa or Stacy."

I see, thanks! So he did throw most of his past partners under the bus by implying he gets the psychos and gimps. Gosh he is punchy lately!
Just wondering,
You are certainly entitled to your opinion, as we all are. Of course, the way you phrase things can result in the post being deleted, as you've seen.
Feel free to dissent from the popular trend here, but keeping a gentle, non-judgemental tone to other posters is the way to go.
Make your point, just do it with manners, respect and dignity.
Take a moment to check out how others dissent. We are not all blind followers and do disagree from time to time. The key is being respectful and polite.
Well the shoe just dropped on Jon, Kate's lawyer is claiming he was relieved of all child support payments as of April 2012. What is going on with Jon?
Mama Mia oh no you missed it all. :)
What's going on is Jon has 50-50.
Admin-maybe a certain person should visit the pro Kate blogs, where they constantly bash Jon and delve into his life, and where they are now also bashing Tony, and tell them the same thing.
Oh dear I agree with the fans this time I kind of think Tony's gone to far. When he stars throwing all of his partners under the bus except for whoever he singled out Melissa, it really does start to sound like Tony is just being a jerk.
ANd yes Permanent Name we usually do a good job disagreeing here without all the drama.
I'm sorry to say I don't follow DWTS very often.
Who else has Tony has as a partner that would fall into the category of failing psych or physical exams?
I guess I thought that kart was the one and only...
Does anyone know if PB was there?
Permanent Name he does tend to get a lot of well known divas. Kathy Ireland comes to mind.
Permanent Name - I think he might have been referring to Wendy Williams, too.
Do you think Tony had to sign a CA when he worked with Kate and that it has now expired? Why is he spouting off two years later? I personally think it is funny, but probably time to stop. He has now made his point. If rumors are true that Kate made him enter her house through the basement door and treated him second rate, like she was the star and he was unworthy - maybe he is holding a bit of a grudge. It must be really annoying when interviewers press on about Kate, like that reporter in Las Vegas was doing.
Jon has joint custody now? Gee, I go away for a couple of days and miss everything. Did you guys discuss this somewhere?
Another suggestion, for what it's worth:
I find that at times I get so blisteringly pissed at a poster here (yes, usually a stoopid sheeple or troll) that I want to verbally blast them to planet Jupiter.
I've learned to take a breath and leave the blog site.
I do this for two reasons: first, Miss Manners compels me to be polite and respectful; second, it's not worth my time or mental health to be so angry toward a nameless, faceless cyber-idiot.
Also, I begin to feel really humiliated when a stranger online can make me lose my temper. Frustrated face here, so I walk away.
Usually when I come back a few days later the cyber-idiot has magically vanished. Or been magically banished.
I've seen others here embrace the same self-control and it's admirable that we can be so adult and logical about cyber anger. This is a good blog.
So, that's my two cents for tonight. I'm such a font of suggestions, aren't I - ROFLMAO!
Forgive my high horse here. But I have to say, the view is extraordinary from up here - ha ha.
I think that sort of activity is very unhealthy.
**************************
And playing around here, bashing posters, stirring s^^t IS healthy? Geez...
Tony has always had a bit of a temper that's made me uncomfortable.
I remember some story about how he gave Carrie Ann the finger once when they were feuding over one of the rules. I'm pretty sure it was Tony admitting he did it or Carrie Ann saying it or something--a first person account.
It just seemed, well, over the top. His anger scares me.
OT: does anyone know when it's time to move baby guppies to a 10 gallon tank? The males, seem to be almost full grown, the females are still small 1/2 an inch. Yes, I findly got a real count and there are 10 fish not 11 as I thought. I have 3 males, 2 of which are brothers(they look exactly a like), the 3rd males is more black & orange. The other 7 are female, and you can tell from their coloring which are sisters. I been dredding this day, why can't they stay mini-fish. They are in a 5 gallon. So should I wait a while or move them?
Permanent Name you are very wise.
I guess I go into "Leave Britney Alone!!!" mode when I see individuals attacked. :)
These are the partners that Tony has had:
Season Partner Place: 2 Stacy Kiebler 3rd, 3 Sara Evans 6th, 4 Leeza Gibbons 9th, 5 Jane Seymour 6th, 6 Marissa Jaret Winokur 4th, 7 Susan Lucci 6th, 8 Melissa Rycroft 3rd, 9 Kathy Ireland 14th, 10 Kate Gosselin 8th, 11 Audrina Patridge 7th, 12 Wendy Williams 10th, 13 Chynna Phillips 9th, 14 Martina Navratilova 12th .
