Anyone would do it too? Or would they? Now that reality T.V. has been around so long the child stars have grown up, reflected on their experiences, and found their voices, it's interesting to hear what they have to say. Enter Kristin Cavallari, who at just 17 and a junior in high school, was MTV's breakout star of Laguna Beach and The Hills.
But does she want her new baby Camden, born seven months ago, to have a reality show? No. She's not talking hypothetically, she's actually been offered a show.
 |
| Cavallari in 2005 |
“I want Cam to grow up in the most normal setting possible," Cavallari said, "and I just don’t think that’s going to happen with cameras. The family is sacred.”
Amen, Kristin. And good for you.
In other news of celebs who won't go on reality T.V., Mark Burnett and Roma Downey, Kate's "friends," recently made it crystal clear such a venture wasn't for them.
1330 sediments (sic) from readers:
«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 1330 Newer› Newest»I can't wait to see this article when a Gosselin kid has their first baby. You know it's coming.
Thanks for the new post, my fingers had scrolling fatigue.
Along with Roma Downey and Mark Burnett, this is the appropriate attitude about exposing your family to reality tv. And then there's Kate, still seeking a way to drag her children through the media horror again. And again. As if the CWS crapfest was not enough awfullness.
Enough.
I just love counter-arguments to the stupid "you would do it too" argument. Um no, many people would not, I would venture to say the vast majority would not.
And isn't it especially compelling when someone who not only had a reality show, but had it when she was a child, says no I would NOT do it too? In fact I would find that very concerning. If it wasn't so bad and a great way to make money, why is she saying no? That should tell Kate something.
OK I really must be a dog person and not a baby person because my eyes were immediately drawn to that cute little Frenchie that she's cuddling!
Good for her for not wanting to put cameras in her baby's faces 24/7. I do have to wonder though if she'd change her mind should she and Jay Cutler call off their engagement (again). Hopefully she'll stick to her guns and not give in to the temptation of easy money and fame.
I keep thinking about the Osbournes..Ozzy and Sharon have 3 kids..Amy, decided she did not want to participate, and they respected that, even with cameras in their home.
I respect that.
There is a way for reality tv to be respectful of kids, and it starts with the parents respecting their kids.
OMG..a post on my phone with no typos?????
Writing this as an Epic day on my calendar.
Thanks for youse all forgiving all my typos=™)
I love the smell of a fresh thread!
Thanks, Admin!

What's with Kate saying that Hank Jr. was so sweet that she "could just eat him."
She's said that before about some other little kid. Kind of an odd thing to say about a fellow human being?

Ohh, Adm. could you do a photoshop of one with Kate's head, "good bra" ta-tas, and hooker heels? Snort.
I just watched someone elses recording of Kates wife swap. Where does Kate get the gaul to tell such lies and to put Kendra down? I would much rather be Hank than any of the Gosselins. If anyone believed Kate, I have a bridge I want to sell them.
I see that Bindi Irwin is now launching a movie career. She is appearing in "Return to Nim's Island" Friday, Mar. 15, on the Hallmark Channel.

With the Duggars recently returning from Asia and now the news about Bindi, her head is probably spinning and she is crying into her wine glass about her children growing up and not being interesting/talented enough for the cameras to come back. Watch for more tweets to Disney.

*******************
I have heard that said from other parents and Kate said that in the couch interview (about one of the boys, really!) after the Utah trip.
Jon just gave her a stunned look as if to say "who are you? and what have you done with Kate?" That was when I figured that Kate had been prompted to say or do something affectionate with a boy. Jon was not let it on it and revealed and honest response to her phoniness.

++++++++++++++++++++++
I didn't watch. Did she say that she could just eat him, or she could just eat him UP, or I could just eat him ALL UP? The latter is a rather common expression in this area.
"I could just eat him" is kind of weird.
"I could eat you up" is a common thing to say to a pudgy baby, followed by nom nom-ing on chubby hands or thighs. I know it might sound weird to anyone who hasn't seen this act of baby-induced oxytocin-fueled bliss, but it's an endearing little bit of play.
That and what else are you going to say to a baby to make him smile and coo?

*****************
Yes, saying "I could eat you up" to a baby is exactly how you describe.
However, in CWS, Kate was looking at picture of Kendra and little Hank. She points to Hank in the picture, and then she says "He's so precious I want to eat him"--she didn't say "up".
That is kind of weird.
Blowing In The Wind (15)--Kate is probably slaving away "inventing" a new recipe and can't tell them yet because she has to see how it turns out, and of course, then get all the 10's from her children. Or she could be getting ready to post her amazinglyish, yummyish, made from scratish, bread recipe that they've all been pining for.
She always has to tease and play games. She loves that. If she doesn't want to say anything or keep a big secret, then she shouldn't say anything at all.
It's not fair to her fans, It's like saying "I know something you don't know. Lol!"

She is so full of herself. Her ego is out of control. She thinks that the world would just LOVE to know what she's working on and she's DYING to tell everyone. This is why she needs Twitter. She has nobody but the loser sheeple on there who feed her ego.
Why even hint at anything? If something is happening, you wait until the time that you can tell all. It's all a publicity gimmick...string it out, make the tabloids plant stories. She's disgusting, but so transparent.

Another reason she teases on Twitter is to get coverage from gather.com and examiner.com.

If this is a fan, I'd hate to see what she would wish for Kate if she were a hater. Did she not see Kelly Live when Anderson pretty much
sat gobsmacked at the woman in the chair? I'm thinking Anderson's not a fan of Kate's.
Here's an example of the pestering done by fans. If I were Kate, I wouldn't respond. Fans think that just because they ask for something, or want to know something, they are entitled. She owes them. This is what happens when a celebrity sets herself up as "love, love, loving" her tweeties. They believe it and start getting demanding.

I haven't checked out that poster's timeline, but it seemed to me that she was asking over and over as a way to point out that of course KK has no newly ''invented'' pot pie recipe. On the other hand, the pestering does sound like typical KK fans....so who knows?

Can someone make up a recipe so she will stop. Pretty please.
I came across this on Facebook today and I thought that this group would apprecitate it because it deals with the death of a beloved family dog.
Abbey
Our 14-year-old dog Abbey died last month. The day after she passed away my 4-year-old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey. She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her. I told her that I thought we could so, and she dictated these words:
Dear God,
Will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday and is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick.
I hope you will play with her. She likes to swim and play with balls. I am sending a picture of her so when you see her you will know that she is my dog. I really miss her.
Love, Meredith
We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Meredith and addressed it to God/Heaven. We put our return address on it. Then Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven. That afternoon she dropped it into the letter box at the post office. A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the letter yet. I told her that I thought He had.
Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch addressed, 'To Meredith' in an unfamiliar hand. Meredith opened it. Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called, 'When a Pet Dies.' Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God in its opened envelope. On the opposite page was the picture of Abbey & Meredith and this note:
Dear Meredith,
Abbey arrived safely in heaven. Having the picture was a big help and I recognized her right away.
Abbey isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog. Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep your picture in so I am sending it back to you in this little book for you to keep and have something to remember Abbey by.
Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping you write it and sending it to me. What a wonderful mother you have. I picked her especially for you. I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much. By the way, I'm easy to find. I am wherever there is love.
Love, God
lukebandit,
... it deals with the death of a beloved family dog.
What a tenderhearted message; I've copied it and I'll share it with others. Thank you for posting it here.
kate on twitter is insane! All the time that she has spent on that stupidity, she could of done a majority of the work in Shawshank and let her kids get a break. Those kids are workers in a slave factory. To properly feed those kids Chicken Pot Pie, she would need 3 9x13 pans of it. There are 8 children and 1 12yr. old adult. If there are left overs, the kids ought to be able to chose if they would like to take it to school the next day for lunch in their lunch boxes, OR freeze the rest of it.
I have a feeling she got ONE of those 8 or 9 inch pie crust with the aluminium pan and it is going to be divided by 9.
A Sliver! I say! A Sliver!
When my sons were teenagers I would make the sugar free Crystal Lite Lemonade pies. I would make 4 8" pie pans and they would be GONE IN LESS than 2 days. My youngest son paid me the biggest compliment ever, and didn't say a word! He walked in the house and went to the regfrigerator and grabbed the last pie, there was only half of it gone and someone left the fork in it!
Then he took that into the living room and sit down on the couch and started eating it! Actions speak louder than words!
I know my kids are soooo glad that their mom was not kate Gosselin. Something like this warms my heart up, something like a big check like from DWTS or CWS and seeing her kids work like prisoners at Shawshank where she doesn't have to pay for someone to do the menial chores, warms her heart!

Oh, lukebandit- how beautiful and comforting. Thank you so much for posting this here.
There are still plenty of good, decent human beings in this world.
I know what she been slaving over. She hiked out into her yard and cut a new, sturdy, flexible switch to beat her kids with.
Thank you Lukebandid. As I read that I though about all my dogs that aren't with me and more and although the article made me cry it also made me happy - so happy tears for all my furbabies that will be waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge.
Zelda, I sure do hope it's not as awful as a switch, but if I recall correctly, it once took her "all day" to bake and ice 2 chocolate layer cakes. She proudly posted a picture of them on Twitter so everyone could ooh and ahh.
This is probably some craft project for St. Patrick's Day.
Good for Kristin. She knows the difference between parent and child. The parent works and supports the family, not the other way around. Kate could learn from her. I agree, "the family is sacred."

I'm thinking you'd all probably LOVE to know what I've been slaving over all day....dying to tell you, but I can't yet! Can't wait!!!
=============================
Maybe she's working on a LOVE connection type of show or she's naming her cook book LOVE is in the mix. There's a reason that she capatilized LOVE.
Thank you for loving the letter! I cried thinking about all my dogs that I have lost over the years. Luke has passed and Bandit is getting older, he belongs to my middle son. Then the second post after the letter, I turn into a mad woman about the CPPie!
I had to feed my boys, they were in sports all year round, soccer, football, baseball, basketball, tennis. They would work it off!
It sickens me the little portions that kate gives them and the work that they do, no wonder they are starving (like the milk at Henry's) and look very small and underweight for their ages. The
zombie look that they have on their faces, like the boys makes them look like they are sick, like they don't get enough sunshine.
I will never forget kate when they were at Henry's and the kids were chugging the milk as fast as they could go, kate said, Well, don't have to fix dinner" or Dinner's done, something to that affect.
It is her own fault they way she treats those kids. Remember the picture of her in that blue tank top, in fall of 2011 and her chest was just very very huge and they looked like they were busting out, there was a link in this thread a couple of pages back.
Admin, wish you would put a comparison of that picture and the Hawaii wedding halter dress and you can see how flat she really was and what a great liar she really is.
Any updates on Steve?
I am going to try to find the link to the Abbey story.

But, but, but, surely Milo knows exactly what Kate is working on. She''s her best buddy. They are joined at the hip, connected through Speed Dial.
First, teasing about what you are up to is juvenile.
Second, she often uses quite negative words to describe work. Isn't work enjoyable to her? "Slaving away" implies a heck of a lot of negative feelings toward your work. I've never heard anyone who likes their job describe it that way.
emeraldcityjazz
@SuzeW718 @chancertheboxer @LCDSchool #kateplusmy8 Lancaster Country Day School cares nothing about the G kids. 8 tuition$$$$$$$$
Now THIS really ticks me off. This person has no idea just how much the school cares about the kids and to what extent it goes to in an effort to give them privacy and a safe haven to thrive, both academically and socially.
It's not about the money. Those eight tuitions could easily be replaced by those on the waiting list.
Nice of her to tweet that to the school. I guess you just have to consider the source.
I don't know how much or how little the school cares, maybe they do and maybe they don't, it's inappropriate though, obviously, to harass them. They have never involved themselves in this mess.
Though it begs the question, why does a SCHOOL need a twitter account in the first place? It's a school, not a Kardashian. They can use a private facebook page or their web site to communicate information.
I bet that the kids' school community works very hard and uses a lot of resources to protect them and do their best given the circumstances J+K have put them in. From the bus stop circus (fortunately not recently) to controlling rumors to protecting the kids from social media, their parents' (mostly Kate) public airing of problems, and interweb fodder, it's got to be something that they always have on their radar.
They've got to be the most resource-intensive students and to imply that the school doesn't care about them after shepherding them through many years, that's just mean and uncalled for.
Just the fact that they took the 2 tups back after expulsion/separation (whatever) speaks a lot to their character and dedication.
Leave the damn school out of it and for Pete's sake, don't @tweet them.

Oh boy. What an odd one.
Kate has a friend in Milo FOR LIFE- hehehe... Isn't Kate lucky ? ;o)
Forever, and ever, and ever, and ever, and ever,
and ever, and ever, and ever.
It sounds like they have put up with a lot and without much complaint that we've ever heard about.
They've got kindergartners that needed to be expelled, they graciously let them back, they changed bus stops because of the paparazzi, their vimeo account was swarmed by people just to see the kids, they put up with unpaid lunch bills and issues with tuition. And they have an idiot mother blogging absurdities about school lunches and making a school project.
The last thing they need is some stranger berating them on twitter.
Though it begs the question, why does a SCHOOL need a twitter account in the first place? It's a school, not a Kardashian. They can use a private facebook page or their web site to communicate information.
---------------------------
Sure they could, but they chose to use Twitter to communicate sports news, community events, videos, school happenings (open houses), congratulations on students' wins and successes, and such. I'm sure they didn't count on Kate haters to harass them through Twitter. There might be those who do have Twitter but not Facebook, and if there's an announcement about an event or even a weather report or early dismissal, it's much easier to go to Twitter rather than having to sort through all the pages on the website. It's like a shortcut/synopsis of what's on the school website.
Also on another point, wouldn't most people just be MORTIFIED that the school had to bend over backwards so much for their kids? It's not like it's for good reason like they have special needs, and it's not like because you yourself are famous independent of your kids which heightens issues for anyone's kids in that situation. It's because YOU decided to exploit the living daylights out of them and now there's issues with paparazzi and fans/haters. I know there are many situations where Kate should just want to crawl under a rock but this surely is another.
All these parents are all twitter savvy? I find that hard to believe. Seems to me a good number of them would be confused by the whole process. I know I was when I first tried it and often still am!
I'm just surprised a private school would do that, especially one with celebrity kids. It's so OPEN. It would make me uncomfortable. Any private school I've seen usually has a private sign in page and private email list for announcements and such.
Another issue with Twitter, I would be concerned about an upset parent or student taking to twitter to try to contact the school. All their grievances would be public for anyone to see. They could always set up a blog and many do, but twitter makes it much easier not only to contact the school but for everyone to see what they are saying without opting out. It sets up dicey situations IMO, libelous situations. Not saying parents shouldn't complain they should but there are more appropriate ways to do it and this just invites conflict. I'll be curious to see if this new social medium really works out for schools long term.
She just loves teasing her tweeties.
kateplusmy8
Sorry for the tease today...Just can't help it!I think of ur smiles while working on it... BUT..It wore me out 2day so GN! Hehehe ...
Milo noticed that she started following Mark Burnett and Julianne Moore, and also the twitter account for a character based on Julianne's picture book, so Milo has it all figured out now:

@Kateplusmy8 Yep ur up 2something. Now N cahoots w/ @_juliannemoore & @MarkBurnettTV AND @realfreckleface What a combo! LOL
I really don't think Julienne Moore would lower herself.
Interesting that she apologizes, so she KNOWS she's a tease. Who told her that? I doubt she figured out teasing is a problem on her own. She thinks it's cute.
lukebandit 35... That was beautiful.

The last thing they need is some stranger berating them on twitter.
-----------------------
Absolutely, and if I'm not mistaken, this is the same person who tweeted that Kate sent people to kill her and her family.

Milo noticed that she started following Mark Burnett and Julianne Moore, and also the twitter account for a character based on Julianne's picture book, so Milo has it all figured out now:
---------------------
I don't understand why Kate wouldn't have discussed this "project" with Milo ahead of time, in the planning stages, so Milo could give her input on the whole thing. Doesn't Milo's advice and guidance count for anything? I thought she knew everything about Kate and vice-versa.
admin said,
All these parents are all twitter savvy? I find that hard to believe. Seems to me a good number of them would be confused by the whole process. I know I was when I first tried it and often still am!
I know next to nothing about Twitter. I don't have an account. I can still read Twazzup and all it takes is a Google to see the school's Twitter page. It was very easy, even for a dummy like me!

Kate has a friend in Milo FOR LIFE- hehehe... Isn't Kate lucky ? ;o)

How did Samantha cut herself loose from Gladys Kravitz? Too bad that Kate can't just twitch her nose and make Milo disappear.
Only about 20% of adults even use Twitter! Though it's hard to get an accurate count since so many are fake. :)

But Barb didn't seem so happy about the teasing:
Barbara Gilmer @BarbGilmer
@kateplusmy8 If ya can't give a hint, then SHHH! LOL :) GN
Is Barb sure she doesn't want to join us here? She's the most rational of the sheeple left. Of course you shouldn't tease unless you can say something. Teasing is silly and juvenile.

Off 2bed w/me! Kate...U better not come back on & make ur announcement AFTER I go 2 bed! #Payback LOL Gnite all!
Now Milo's worried she won't be around for the BIG announcement.
Funny thing is that Kate came back on twitter right after Milo tweeted that. She didn't divulge anything, but it was almost like she did it on purpose. One of her tweets was to Jason-she probably didn't want Milo horning in on the conversation, like she always does.
For most people putting up with a narcissist is sooner or later mentally and emotionally exhausting. A long line of people who have left Kate reached that point. I think Barb has discovered her own limits, se's just being a bit more obvious about it than most. Most people just sort of quietly disappear, seems like.
Tonight I watched Celebrity Wife Swap, Gilbert Gottfried and Alan Thicke s wives swapped. It was fun to watch! Gilbert and his wife live in NYC, they are frugal, walk everywhere or take the subway. Alan and his wife live on a ranch with lots of staff and entertain often.
Alan s wife had Gilbert host a dinner party, and she brought in a chef and staff to serve. Filberts friends who showed up were Paul Shaffer, yes the band leader, with his wife and kids, and Richard Belzer the actor, and they had a great time.
Alan spends lots of money on gifts for his wife, so Gilbert s wife made him go to the dollar store and pick out a meaningful gift for only one dollar. Alan got his wife a small ”I love you” balloon.
Funniest thing, Alan s wife thought Gilbert should learn how to drive. After taking him for driving lessons, the instructor, Alan s wife and Gilbert all agreed, Gilbert should never ever attempt to drive.
it was a fun episode!
Next week, back to regular wife swap episodes with non celebrity borderline crazy people who yell, fuss, complain, and cry, and.that was just the preview.
Still@45 - I don't care if the God/Dog story is true or not. It was a lovely story. I'm glad Lukebandit shared it with us.
Was Kate working on her "cookbook"? Is that the big tease?
The only thing I can think of that would supposedly make her fans smile would be the cookbook or another book of personal stories and pics of the kids.
She certainly wasn't slaving away filming a show, so...
testing, curious to see if I can post off of firefox....
03/15 download the free app Freckleface Strawberry's Monster Maker Game for iPad & iPad Mini. Tweet your own monster photo @realfreckleface!
================
Apparently there will be an app available on Friday from @realfreckelface. What do you want to bet that a lot of celebrities were contacted to tweet their monster photo creations to be used as part of the app or a promotion for it? Kate would jump on something like this. She is, after all, the @monstermomof8
Tweet-le De Tweet-le DUMB said,
Barb's getting tired of Kate's shtick.
----------------------
Barb's also getting sick of Milo, but who wouldn't be fed up with her? Barb's the only fan, though, who has the nerve to call her out on her obsession.
Maybe she's slaving away on her "picture book" and she started following "freckleface strawberry" in order to steal some ideas. She only started following Julianne and freckleface yesterday.
Remember when Kate assigned Barb to be her "go to" person why fans wanted to send books to be autographed? I can't remember now how that worked, but Barb was getting annoyed with Kate back then because she wouldn't answer Barb's emails.
Tweet, ah, good memory. The fastest way to lose a fan is to hire them and expose your true colors to them. I doubt Barb was even getting paid for doing that JOB, even more likely she's going to lose patience especially when Kate is rude to her. This is really all part of keeping your distance with fans, it's really better not to let them in, though some actually do.
I'm not drinking, so it must be that I'm really tired, but I don't understand this one:
emma_marie_94
@Kateplusmy8 I can't even take care of my older brother when my parents are away, i don't know how u do it but you're doing a stellar job :D
Why is a younger sibling taking care of an older one? If she/he can't do it, then why is this person in charge when the parents are away?
@_juliannemoore: this is me and my monster!! you can make your own and send me your photo on march 15th @frecklefacestrawberry.com pic.twitter.com/LRJwfXjCrH
==========
The more I think about it the more I think that Kate got an advance copy of the app and has been creating her monster for the past couple of days. I don't know what age kids @frecklefacestrawberry is aimed at but you can bet that Kate will tweet that her kids love it and read the book/ use the app every night. The app will only be available for the iPad and iPad mini not the iPhone. Hasn't Kate mentioned all the games she and the twins play on the iPad.
Had the Duggar's on in the background while sewing tonight. They were in Japan. Funny...there was no talk of the residents speaking "Asian". They spoke Japanese.
JimBob was a bit of an ignorant jerk, but not the raving lunatic that Kate was on her trips. Kids seemed happy enough. At least they didn't look brain dead and defeated. And Michelle was pleasant and all smiles, as usual.
None of the adults threatened to abandon the kids, or to leave them with strangers.
Barb was getting pretty overwhelmed because a lot of people were asking. I remember that, and it was so obvious that Kate was ignoring her. I think Barb finally told her she wasn't going to do it anymore. Barb works a lot of hours at her job, and appears to do all housework and does a lot of yardork. I think she repaired her own car once. She definitely didn't have time to do anything for that ungrateful wench who ignored her when she was trying to help. Just one more reason I detest Kate.

***
Me too. I hate how she treats her fans. I know she is all I love you I love you sometimes yet when it really comes down to it, she couldn't care less about them. Her actions speak louder than words--ignoring Barb, not even bothering to tweet them for days sometimes even weeks on end when she's busy with fun projects getting her narcissistic supply elsewhere, teasing them endlessly, accepting their freebies when she's worth God knows how much money, the way she blew off Gypsi until Gypsi had to beg so much for a response it was embarrassing. It's just shitty how she treats them, she sets them up to fail and embarrass themselves much like what she does to her kids.
Here's the thing, I don't think a celeb owes their fans anything other than common courtesy. Some are more comfortable with getting more involved with them than others--fine. But, you don't get to choose to be more involved and lead your fans on like Kate does, then turn around and be this rude. You can't have it both ways. Either your fans are your friends or they're just fans, but you can't have them be your friends then treat them like crap. If that's how you roll, you have no business leading your fans on that they are anything more than just another fan.
Tweet-I seem to remember that before Barb could give out Kate's address, it had to be approved by Kate herself. Barb was getting requests, and she kept asking Kate to check her emails. I seemed to remember her telling one fan telling them that she hadn't heard from Kate yet.
Barb seems to be a hard working mother who really cares about and does things with her kids-unlike Kate.
I also remember Barb getting upset that Kate didn't tweet her a Happy Birthday on her birthday, because Kate was tweeting HB to other tweeties the same day. I believe Kate finally wished her a belated HB at some point.
Other times, I have also seen Barb annoyed when Kate was replying to Milo a lot and I believe one time she even tweeted something like "Hey-what about me?".
I think a lot of tweeties are getting sick of Milo.
I called it. I knew this love fest with Milo was bound to create divisions among fans.
In some ways it's not MILO Kate needs to be afraid of but another fan jealous of the attention Milo gets.
Kate is a Twit, now I remember that birthday wish fiasco. Weren't some of the fans even telling Kate to wish Barb a Happy Birthday?
And I agree about the fans getting sick of Milo. She's been dropping a lot of hints lately about their "special" relationship that has to be hush-hush. People aren't going to like that.
So now they will be pestering Julianne Moore?

@ zzzzz Glad I brought a smile 2ur face...seems I annoy alot of folks. :(
When fans were in a gift-giving frenzy & Barb was in charge of giving out Kate's address to approved fans, Barb had the nerve to go on vacation. She wasn't around when a teen fan wanted to send Cara & Mady a set of Vera Bradley luggage. Kate actually responded to the teen, tweeted Barb to take care of it & since Barb was on vacation, the teen never got the address. When haters started communicating with the teen, the fans (Paige & CJ) started attacking the teen & the twins never got their expensive Vera Bradley bags (monogrammed no less). After that fiasco, Kate dumped Barb & started referring the gift-givers to her website email address so Kate could make sure not one freebie slipped through her nasty fingers again.
Barb has been a D-Lister with Kate ever since. I think Barb only sticks around because she's very lonely & depressed and she doesn't want to lose the friends she made on Twitter. Being a sheeple is a must to stay in the club & Barb doesn't want to rock the boat. Some of her tweets to Kate are passive-aggressive barbs (no pun intended) but her sheeple friends are too oblivious to pick up on them.
That teen girl was the one CJ started accusing of being in child porn. And that was a FAN!

Well, I just watch the Duggars in Asia. I know some of you here don't like them either, and that's ok.
*******
I think you make very good points and have summed up what I think about the Duggars. I think the kids are far happier and I know I project how I feel about the older girls being tasked with raising the new arrivals, but maybe they really don't mind.
I don't get the sense they're coerced.
That said, it rankles me because it goes against my philosophy of family and raising children. I don't think kids should be expected to conform to the parents' paradigm of life.
The Duggars, like Kate, think of their offspring as extensions of them and I do wonder what Jim and Michelle would think, say or do if any of the kids wanted to leave the reservation.
I'd think that about the Duggars and other Quiverfull followers with or without a reality tv show.
The Duggars have made their fortune off of their kids, but somehow, it's not as unsavory as the Gosselins. Maybe it's because their marriage is intact and the children seem so full of spirit, talent, joy, love and faith. Somehow, they've remained true to who they are, despite reality tv.
Jim Bob is still a Neanderthal dolt who needs to stop contributing to the gene pool. At some point, common sense has to prevail and free will is laid to waste when you follow a movement that puts your wife's very life (and that of your unborn child) in mortal danger.
I'm no Betty Friedan, but that man makes my blood run cold.
Slightly OT: I saw this quote (no credit given) and it made me think of KK: "The Truth may hurt for a little while, but a lie hurts forever."
I was surprised and delighted by Freckleface Strawberry. ...The story is a love yourself flaws-and-all tale, but it's so cleverly executed that I don't balk at the lesson. ...Julianne Moore has succeeded in giving us a relatable, achievable Hollywood ending. Brava!" - Seattle Post Intelligencier
==============================
The above is a review on the Freckleface Strawberry book. I guess Kate didn't learn that lesson becasue she's changed everything about herself. There's a B'Way musical based on the book but the cast is too old for Mady and too young for Kate. My money is still on her getting an advance copy of the make your own monster app and that's what she's been slaving over for the past couple of days. The announcement for the app came out at the same time that Kate announced that the sheeple would LOVE what she was slaving over (and when she began to follow @frecklefacestrawberry).

*****
What exactly is this app? What does one do with it?
I'm guessing it involves using the G kids.
Remember in Kate's correspondence on her computer, she wanted to use her kids in an app/game that would have been similar to Diner Dash, where you had to take care of the kids needs (feeding, changing) or else they'd cry and have have tantrums.
Admin, the school district and school I work for are on twitter. All the schools in my district have a twitter account, as do most principals and teachers. Social media is one more way schools can communicate with their community. We haven't had any problems with it, and parents like knowing what's going on in their kids' schools and district. It's not the ONLY way we communicate, just one of many. We try to reach as many of our community members as we can!

Oh boo hoo Milo. You're obnoxious and you know it! You can't be Kate's most annoying cheerleader AND have everyone like you. You can't tell her fans that you're special in Kate's eyes and not piss people off. I'm sure you're as annoying in real life. You shouldn't be surprised.
Here's a quote from an editor of a blog. Bet the editor of Kate's blog is also blown away. Or maybe just wishes she could blow Kate's blog away.
As you may know, I am the Editor-in-Chief there, which means I oversee all the Internet content. We have some truly talented writers on staff and I am blown away every week by the pieces I have the privilege to edit, schedule, and publish.
I have an image in my mind of Kate's skin turning green over the Duggar's trip to Asia. The Duggars are over all just nicer than Kate and surely are easier for TLC to manage. There are certainly many more of them, but the Duggars all appear to have good manners and know how to treat others with respect. These are things missing in some other former reality stars. The difference in the Gosselin and Duggar families is too dramatic for words.

He will probably tweet the same thing to Kirstie! He's a boob guy.
Is it my imagination or does Kate only tweet about her big projects and surprises when there are none? When something is actually in the works, like CWS last fall, not a peep. Then when nothing's going on, she's in full tease mode. Wasn't last spring something about mailing her dream off with a kiss? She's so strange. I swear if she'd sign on for some in depth psychological analysis TV show (without the kids at all), I'd be glued to my set.
mycrazylife2
@Kateplusmy8 U should post on ur website, the "book" of urs from wive swap!! So we can all see what it's like in the house of Gosselins
kateplusmy8
@MyCrazyLife2 our manual? You can find it at http://t.co/i8XkeZTUG2(preview) @ABC
So the fan wants to see what it's like in the house of the Gosselins? Hope she's prepared to read that boot camp training manual.
The link that Kate tweeted goes to ABC.com's home page. In order to actually get to the manual, you first have to click on Shows, then CWS, and then toggle through Features buttons on the CWS page to get to the manual which is one the second page. Then you have to click on Kate's Household Manual.
Why couldn't Kate have taken the time and effort to find the link that would take them directly to the manual? How hard would it have been to make something easier for her fans?
One of the contestants (Chuy) on Splash broke his foot and is unable to compete. I bet the next rumor will be that Kate is going to replace him.
Milo where are you?
According to TMZ, he is being replaced by Brandi Chastain, the Olympic soccer player.
Tweets like that make me, sort of, feel sorry for Kate. It makes it sound like she has no other family and friends she could share exciting new upcoming projects with. She has to tell someone, so she teases her tweeties, I guess likes to see them spin circles trying to figure it out. She doesn't seem to be getting the response she needs from her real life people.

http://celebs.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474981859035 According to a new tweet released on March 12, Kate Gosselin decided to retweet a message about haters from Life Tools. "I don't have time to hate the people who hate me. I'm too busy loving the ones who love me," read the message. And it sounds like Kate could really connect with this message, tweeting back, "YAY!!!! THIS DESCRIBES ME!!" Of course, Kate has to focus on her children every day, so one can imagine that she can ignore the haters when she turned off her computer and Twitter. Once she turns on her computer again, the haters return.
I, agree, Admin about how it seems that Kate has no family or friends to share her exciting life and events with. We all know how she has alienated people down through the years. Sad, really sad for her children.

It's been brought to my attention (thank you) that occasionally people are hijacking long-standing names and posting comments, often appropriate ones that look real.
If you're the victim of that, please tell me, either by email or here. I'll gladly delete them. White flag of truce, doesn't matter what happened in the past, I will delete them. It's a weird thing to do and I don't want whoever is doing this to think that flies here.
I don't know why I had a flash of Michael Caine saying "what's your game?" in his cockney accent. I cannot remember the movie, but I do remember "what's your game?"
What IS their game?? So odd!
Blowing in the Wind (101) I remember it because it was the most outrageous thing I have ever seen happen on Kate's Twitter.
The girl was a lonely teenager who had a special appreciation for the twins. From what she said, she bought the luggage or bags while away from home & her mom was not pleased. When the fans started attacking the girl, Kate blocked her! So the girl said her mom was giving them to a charity (it was Christmas time) and they eventually found a Cara & a Mady (different families) who would appreciate the bags.
I couldn't shake the image of this lonely girl being so viciously attacked by fans then thrown under the bus by Kate. They behaved like vicious dogs, especially Paige & CJ.
My kids' school uses Twitter as a way to communicate with the kids, as in snow days, the basketball team won, out of uniform days. It's just used as back up to the official communication. It was also used to see what the kids were talking about & a large percentage the football team was suspended for tweeting about a kegger. Those schools know what they're doing.
This morning Milo tweeted two messages to Kate, one about her tossin and turnin all might wondering about Kate's surprise and another about the "dates" Kate mentioned. Then Milo deleted the tweets and tweeted this:
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack
I made the effort 2say hello & offer a word of support 2 a #friend 2day...& they walked on by. #Ouch :(
Kate has often ignored Milo, often for days. Why is she whining now?

Tweet-le,
I saw the "walked on by" comment but missed the other two. My first thought was, "Someone else snubbed Milo--must not have been Kate."
Thanks for posting these. So Milo WAS talking about Kate! With Barb calling Milo out(indirectly) last night and Kate not sticking up for her, Milo's feelings must be doubly hurt.
Milo has been a curiosity for us all for a long time. I first noticed her when she was started posting on BM's site, maybe in Fall 2009. In all seriousness, I think Milo is reaching some new level in this celebrity worship syndrome. She sounds like she's begininng to lose it to me. She's fragile emotionally, and Kate just can't give her enough strokes to keep her happy. What happens next? Where does it end?
anger issues said:
With the Duggars:I saw well behaved kids, a Dad, who is a bit of a jerk sometimes, tried to be knowledgable(he does his best), nobody yelling, or having a hissy fit. Even when they all went to Sushi school and they made a mess, and everyone was all smiles and enjoying themselves. They were very polite to people, service people, camera crew. If I had to choose a family to travel with, I would choose the Duggars in a heart beat. Kate, would have had a hissy fit, in 2 sec flat. What a difference, it's like Duggars=day, Kate=night.
*****
I will agree that there are vast differences between the Duggar household and Kate Krieder's cruel and cold McMansion. I think the children in general (especially the younger ones) are likely happier, are treated better, and overall have a happier existence.
I can't bring myself to say that the children are well-behaved, especially the younger ones. They seem to often run wild in their own home, climbing onto counters and walking on them, racing through the house and up and down stairs, using outside voices while inside, etc. Since they are basically being raised by their older siblings, I give all the Duggar offspring a pass on this one - hard enough that the older adult girls are still living at home, have no paying jobs, no education beyond a homeschooling high school diploma, and apparently no prospects beyond cleaning, grocery shopping, food preparation, and child rearing for their parents.
No matter how "nice" the parents are - I think putting your children on a reality tv show is not in their best interests. I think even less of parents who turn over child-rearing responsibilities to the older children.
Kate hasn't tweeted directly to Milo since Sunday and I guess Milo is disappointed, especially since of all the crazy support tweets Milo has been sending her.
I think Milo expected more after Kate defended Milo as being her "friend" when Milo was defending Kate about Bible marketing tweet she made. And the Barb Gilmer stepped and gave her a smackdown, and she probably expected Kate to defend her again, which she didn't.
So she's going to go sulk now because her "friend" is obviously ignoring her and has let her down.
I'm glad my son's school doesn't use twitter to communicate -- because I have a twitter account but never bother to use it. Instead, they use recorded messages to the student's home phone (or I guess the contact phone number, for those who don't have land lines). It seems to work pretty well.
I simply can't believe Milo would stoop so low as to tweet that about Kate passing her by. Well, wait...I guess I can since it's Milo. But, how old is she again?
I wonder if she's in a corner rolled up in a ball crying her eyes out. Good grief.
Is this another smack down from Barb Gilmer? She replied to Milo's tweet to her from Monday after the first smack down:
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack
@BarbGilmer. Wow...did not expect that. Kate has given me permission 2adress misunderstandings. I'd NEVER disrespect her. :(
Barbara Gilmer @BarbGilmer
@MiloandJack U need glasses?
The problem with Milo is that she gives out clues, which she has done many times as if she is trying to one up Kate, therefore ruining the approach for Kate to surprise her fans. minus the teasing of course. It IS Kate's project, not Milo's so better from Kate's mouth than Milo's. I personally would not have gotten myself in twists trying to guess, tweet about it publicly and force someone to tell me if I was right! I'd rather just wait and see what comes next. The other thing Milo does is insert herself in conversations directed only to Kate. That makes me think Milo reads Kate's mentions page all day to jump in whatever was asked to Kate. Most of them probably do not know Milo! So they must have had wondered why this person was talking to them.
You know Kate may think Milo is her best friend but I also think she could be her worst enemy.
I'm sure Milo tweeted that because she knew Kate would see it(since she follows Milo) and she wanted to let Kate know that she had let her down.
Kate has tweeted to other people since Milo tweeted that, so she's apparently ignoring it, and for Milo it must be like she's adding insult to injury.

Kate has often ignored Milo, often for days. Why is she whining now?
***********************
Many people have speculated that the day would come when Kate's true nature would finally shatter Milo's rose coloured glasses.
I actually feel a bit bad for Milo, not pity exactly, willful ignorance is hard to sympathize with. Still, anyone who so staunchly supports another, especially when it's encouraged as much as Kate has Milo, deserves better than to just be flat out ignored.
In any case, I'm betting there will be a "not an apology" tweet from Kate - as in "Not ignoring anyone just super busy with grueling work for secret project, wish I could share more now but blah, blah, blah"
To which Milo will ecstatically reply, "No worries, just excited to hear about upcoming dates and projects x8!" Of course including all the obligatory @'s to everyone Milo wants to prove she and Kate are really friends to.
I don't know for sure because I'm not on Twitter, but I'm guessing even kids in high school don't tweet this much drama.
OT for the Catholic peeps here:
WHITE SMOKE! We have a new Pope!
I don't know who he is yet.
Millicent 122 - No matter how "nice" the parents are - I think putting your children on a reality tv show is not in their best interests. I think even less of parents who turn over child-rearing responsibilities to the older children.
Very well said, Millicent.

''What IS their game?? So odd!''

Maybe ''their game'' only makes sense to the fool that is playing the game? My mind doesn't work like KK, and it seems to not work like the ''game players'' either. I'm really glad that I can't figure out what they're doing, because I'd hate worse than anything that my mind worked the way their's did!!
I think it would be funny to bomb bard ABC with their recipe for meatloaf.

I think you're 100% correct.
This is probably Milo's MO in real life as well, harangue and tease and annoy until someone either ignores her or blows up then she pouts and gives the silent treatment until the other person gives in.
She's always said she is a tease and never gives up and also has a big mouth that is always getting her in trouble.
I don't feel sorry for her.

Tucker's Mom @98 - From what I can gather the app is a monster maker game and apparently Julianne Moore's PR team sent out previews of the app for "celebrities" to try out. Below is anoter tweet that she'd sent which is why I think it's what Kate has been working on. If you can bring up the picture you'll see that it's something that Kate would jump all over.
@_juliannemoore: this is me and my monster!! you can make your own and send me your photo on march 15th @frecklefacestrawberry.com pic.twitter.com/LRJwfXjCrH
Njay this meatloaf receipe was from 2008/09 when Kate and Jon were promoting Multiple Blessings.
She's fragile emotionally, and Kate just can't give her enough strokes to keep her happy. What happens next? Where does it end?
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I don't know. But "hide the bunny" comes to mind, especially in the Milo/Kate drama.
I watched the Duggars last night also. While the kids may not always behave appropriately, they all seem to be happy. When they were in the suschi academy, JimBob had to eat suschi made by the youngest child Josie. She made an absolute mess of it but she had fun doing it. And JimBob took a bite. Remember when Kate and Jon said they wouldn't eat anything made by the kids because of germs. Well not JimBob. He lost a competition and he had to eat what Josie made. He didn't eat the whole thing but he did take a bite. I agree, however, that he's a dolt. I was impressed with how Josie talked considering she was a few months premature. She seems to be where she should be with regard to her speech. I do, however, agree that they shouldn't be on TV and the older girls should not be raising the younger kids.

Absolutely. No mistake about it. It's not only their job, but their life.
Good grief, there are a lot of needy people who can't go to a bookstore and purchase a cookbook, or google recipes on the internet!
mycrazylife2
@Nirvana_21_qt @kateplusmy8 YES PLEASE DO A COOKBOOK!!!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, IM BEGGING YOU!!!
I can't bring myself to buy a cookbook anymore.
As I told my kids, the internet is like having the world's biggest library on your desktop. Use it!

**************
I'd bet next month's rent payment that most of these "PLEASE GIVE US YOUR RECIPE" tweets are from paid for fake accounts.
It's all feeble attempts at marketing. Like everything else in her life, she's trying to create the illusion of interest in "her recipes". Anyone who has followed this saga has seen her catalog of her cookery skills.
Her whole grasping at any straw for fame would be funny if not for the fact that there are 8 innocent kids involved.
Milo is really taking this self-pity thing to the max. Is she hoping her "no one cares about me" attitude is going to grab Kate's attention?
miloandjack
I doubt that anyone cares....but LitesOut Man is finally drivin again! #DocsClearedHim. Big relief/help 2me. :)
Yikes, I read Kate's manual! Ok, she says they have 5 bedrooms each with a bathroom- plus they have one on the first floor and also the basement iirc/ 7 bathrooms? Also, shower time is half an hour for the 'littles'- do they all shower together still? And very condescending- 'please don't break the bread maker?' And twice, don't go in the twins' room.Don't 'do' video games? Hmm. All very very very weird. Real boot camp. Oh- and Kate NEVER sits down. Oh, I think I've seen her...;)
Speaking of their bathrooms, I wonder who cleans the bathroom in the garage apartment? I assume the garage apartment has one, even though it's only used when "guests" are there.
Milo is really taking this self-pity thing to the max. Is she hoping her "no one cares about me" attitude is going to grab Kate's attention?
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
She's just begging for Kate's attention, hoping that Kate will pat her on her back, give her tweets of positivity, and tell her that she still loves her. I still think that Milo does not have a family, no husband, no kids, and she's in a facility somewhere and she latched on to Kate because Kate paid attention to her, giving her the recognition she needs to sustain whatever it is that is missing from her life.
That said, I still don't feel sorry for her because she's so annoying, needy and whiny.

I agree, Sheri. KK's narcissistic ego seems to actually believe that others are too stupid to realize that the comments that she has ANY talent are really 'bots'. She is pathetic.
Melissa NV @ 143
I am so app-challenged. What is the point of all of this monster-making? What do you do with it?
=======================================
I don't want to sound condescending, but there is no point to the app. It's a game to build your own monster. I'm sure that there's a tie in to her (J. Moore's) books and it probably makes more sense to those that have read her books. It's kind of like Angry Birds. No point to the game but I love playing it!
On another note, I love to buy cookbooks and cooking magazines. I love to flip through them and look at the pictures. I'll also google a recipe when I want to know how to do something quickly. I took a look at Kate's meat loaf recipe and the quantities of the fillers seems to be off somewhat. I mean it looks like she's got 4-5 cups of fillers for only 2 pounds of meat. Adding more of everything doesn't necessarily make it healthy/better. I also had to laugh because ABC said the recipe feeds 10 and Kate says that she normally has half a loaf left. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if she's feeding 9 and there's half a loaf left those must be pretty small portions. Also, she should form the meat into loaves and cook on a cookie sheet. When you cook it in a loaf pan it sits in its own grease...as one of the comments said, organic does not mean fat/grease free.
I still think that Milo does not have a family, no husband, no kids 151
What would be even sadder is if she DOES.
It's kind of like Angry Birds. No point to the game but I love playing it!
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Oh, yes, Angry Birds. I play it with the kids. Those pigs, though, are just so darn cute that I hate shooting them into oblivion. I guess what I'm not understanding about the monster app is what you do with it. Is it a game, or is the "game" just building the monster? If it's just creating your own personal monster, what is Kate's role in this?
Millicent, (123) our kids' school uses Twitter as an extra way of communicating. In my case, it's high school & they talk about the basketball team advancing in the Regionals, a kid won an award, snow days, etc.
It by no means is a primary way of communicating & it's aimed mostly at the students, since high school kids have almost abandoned Facebook en masse for Twitter, they use it as almost like a pep club type of thing.
They still contact the parents the traditional ways & if a parent doesn't have Twitter they don't miss a thing.
The Milo/Barb saga continues...
Barbara Gilmer @BarbGilmer
My tweets are what they say! Nothing more nothing less, some ppl need to read WORD FOR WORD and not add to it, GOT IT??
Barbara Gilmer @BarbGilmer
@miloandjack Never mind, it went over your head!
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack
@BarbGilmer Ok...does this mean I'm dumb or twitter slow? LOL.
What? Is Milo's attitude catching? I hope not! Annoying twit is never a good look on anyone. Barb, I don't think glasses is what Milo needs but rather to get her head out of Katie's arse.
And that meatloaf recipe is no more original then her Chicken pot pie (wow, two crusts! I didn't realized there were one crusted ones until I saw some fast food ad for their cpp.) Also, what's with all the dried mixed Italian crumbs and spices? Why isn't she using her organic crusts and fresh from her garden herbs (what were the kids weeding anyways?) Sounds more like a recipe for meatballs to go with the spaghetti. And Lordie be can't get away from the stupid Katisms ... zig zaggy. Hey, Katie, just plain zig zag works fine. Plus, be sure all the fans know she's got a food processor, surprised she didn't give the brand name along with obligatory top of the line. I don't think Katie could come up with an original idea if her life depended on it.
And a big preemptive yawn to her "surprise". It's sure to be a big zero that no one but her would have to have slaved over. As I'm sure she thinks she slaves over those bogs of hers. So hard to regurgitate the same old crap over and over and over again.
Dear, Robert, please put your book out soon. I am still kicking myself for missing out the first go round. Do you think Katie will sign my copy if I send her a SASE to return it to me?
This Barb chick is awesome. She's just had it lol. Who's making the popcorn tonight?

Kate wasn't about to pass up an opportunity to let viewers know just how excruciatingly difficult it is for a multi-millionaire single mom to raise eight kids in a million dollar estate in the beautiful Pennsylvania countryside. I don't know if she thought she would get sympathy for it, but I think it might have backfired on her. Hoffman doesn't even have to release his book now because Kate herself exposed what an insufferable slave driver she is in that manual.
Admin-it looks like Barb also have some that agree with her.
I thought CWS was very entertaining last night. Alan Thicke and his wife are snobs and Gilbert and his wife are down-to-earth "real" people. Yes, Gilbert is a big, obnoxious kid but he loves his wife and kids very much. Even though he doesn't spend his money (I'm sure he has plenty) he still supports his family comfortably. He has "real" friends, Alan's friends seemed to all be business partners.
Also, Gilbert's imitation of Alan was very funny. I never really had an opinion of Alan Thicke but now I think he's a pretentious jerk.
Observation from Blue Angel:
Take out the "LOLs" from the Twitter posts for Milo and Khate, and the remaining posts have a very different, essentially passive-aggressive tone. I'd wager that's where the true meaning of these posts lie.
Not only can't they buy cookbooks or find recipes online, but they desperately need chore charts:
cynd31
@Kateplusmy8 @lulu2465 I wish I could see the chore chart...I need it badly
Collectively, these fans are the most needy bunch of people ever assembled on Twitter/internet. What did they do before Kate came on the scene...fumble around blindly in the darkness, unable to care for their families?
What would be even sadder is if she DOES.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&
You're right. Can you imagine living with that?
I just think it's funny that Khate and "her" twitter people are still talking about CWS- it has been over a week ago. Kendra has barely been mentioning it at all! Geesh!
LaLaLandNoMore said... 112
I, agree, Admin about how it seems that Kate has no family or friends to share her exciting life and events with. We all know how she has alienated people down through the years. Sad, really sad for her children.
-----
I agree. Seems she keep very peripheral people around (paid help, twitters, and her agent), without ANY family and real friends, who you can often count on to tell you the truth. She is addicted to twitter, as her 6 fans and twitterbots/paid twitters (??) tell her what she wants to hear. Very disturbing at best.
A very sad life indeed. For her and, more importantly, the kids.
loathe--that's all they have to talk about, and they'll keep talking about it because it's going to be repeated this Saturday.
Interesting that Kendra was on CWS and now she's appearing on ABC's Splash and Alan Thicke was on CWS and he just got casted in a new ABC sitcom. Kate was on CWS and what is she doing?
Twitterin' and boggin'.
I just think it's funny that Khate and "her" twitter people are still talking about CWS- it has been over a week ago. Kendra has barely been
mentioning it at all! 166
But Kendra has a life and a career..
Oh, and a husband who loves her (and vice versa) and a healthy well adjusted child that kk tried to intimidate. More power to his parents
that she was unsuccessful.
It was been over 2 weeks, not 1 week, that Kate was on CWS.
I will laugh silly if this monster app. is her big surprise. Perhaps she can't tell because she will make her "big reveal" for her bog tomorrow. Maybe Julieanne (or whatever her name is) is using her for this very purpose. To promote this for her in her bog.
I think two reason Kate hasn't bothered to be on Celebrity Apprentice is because the pay is very low. I think NeNe (Real Houswives of Atlana) said something under $5,000 or so. I can't remember the exact amount. But that is for many weeks worth of very hard work. And Kate also has to solicit many ten of thousands of dollars from friends/relatives for the many weekly challenges that Donald gives them. The purpose of Celebrity Apprentice to raise tons of money for different charities.

Good grief! I made my own chore chart 5-6 years ago by myself! Picked some chores, came up with a schedule to rotate and voila! It ain't rocket science!
Wow, it posted...I am skeptical... here goes a second time...
I think the only thing Kate is working on is figuring out a way to keep her tweeties interested when she doesnt have a darn thing to offer them....
but I think it might have backfired on her. Hoffman doesn't even have to release his book now because Kate herself exposed what an insufferable slave driver she is in that manual.

Auntie Ann, I never thought of it like that before, but you are so right. All Kate's appearance proved on CWS is that the contents of Robert's book, as well as his observations about Kate being a control freak, is true.
I will laugh silly if this monster app. is her big surprise.
&&&
I was just going to post that same exact thing baw-haha.
If that's it, LOL! That's what she was slaving over? I get the sense she doesn't understand that Julienne Moore almost certainly sent out a press kit/promotional packet to hundreds of people including many celebs with kids. She might not even barely realize who Kate is. She really thinks she's so special to be contacted about things like this when really anyone who manages to keep their mug on TV gets this. They cast the net wide. I picture her slaving away over this "monster" while the rest of the real single working moms were pulling their double shifts. Gaping maw of a fame hole.
And I should add, I wish nothing but the best for Julienne Moore and her app looks really cute, but most press kits probably end up in the garbage. That's where I always saw them. It's not personal or meant in any way to be vindictive, but it would be a full time job to try to help everyone in the business with their various endless projects. Kate seems to treat every press kit like it's Christmas, drop everything, time to collect your freebie.
Also, she should form the meat into loaves and cook on a cookie sheet. When you cook it in a loaf pan it sits in its own grease...as one of the comments said, organic does not mean fat/grease free.
++++++++++++++++++++
Dumb question from someone in the Dutch Country who has always made meat loaf in a loaf pan...when you cook it on a cookie sheet, wouldn't the grease run off the cookie sheet into the oven? I use a big deep sided blue-speckled enameled oval pan with a lid that's been in the family since the beginning of time. There have been enough meat loafs made in it to feed fans at a Bruce Springstein concert! Don't you cover your meat loaf when you bake it? We always do (until the last fifteen minutes or so) and that's kind of hard to do on a cookie sheet.
Just asking!
Pa Dutch Mom said... 176
My cookie sheets have sides on them and they're long and wide enough that the grease can spread out on the sheet but not spill over the sides.
Didn't ABC say that they chose Kate Gosselin first and then looked for someone to counterbalance her? Kendra became that person.
So, it looks to me like ABC told us wrong. They wanted Kendra to help bolster Splash and then needed someone to counterbalance her.
RE: Monster app. Can you imagine what Kate would come up with? A monster with 8 eyes, 8 hands, 8 mouths.... anything to tell the world that she has 8 kids, in case somebody didn't know.
The clue for that came when someone upthread talked about Alan Thick being on an upcoming ABC show, just like Kendra. Thank you for that info, fellow poster!

Oh, no worries. Kate probably wrings the meatloaf out over the kitchen sink. That way she doesn't need to slice it and it's already
a jumbled mess for the kids' paper plates, which soak up the rest of the grease.

Wow, Barb? KT has always treated her like a doormat. I think she was the one who started the trend of sending her gift cards. Is she the one that sent the first Starbucks gift card or was that someone else. Barb is a hard worker and I was taught work ethics are a strong of the measure of a person right up there with being kind to animals and the elderly. Most of us started out as fans as well (if only for a minute), particularly me until I stopped watching the shows and started studying them instead. The entire debacle has a different feel to it once you take off the rose-colored glasses.
"Oh, no worries. Kate probably wrings the meatloaf out over the kitchen sink. That way she doesn't need to slice it and it's already

********************
Oh, I thought the meatloaf was like the bread -- it slices itself in the oven!
That meatloaf recipe sounds horrible, and also very scanty to feed 8 growing kids. When I make a meatloaf I use 1 1/2# of meat, and that's for one person. I also don't put all that crap in it. of course I add onions and peppers and sometimes celery, but not in the quantities KK recommends. Her meatloaf must be mostly veggies and breadcrumbs. 2 - 3 eggs? Sheesh! I don't get 8-9 meals and have half a loaf left over, either. I freeze a couple of dinners for later, have a meal or two, and sandwiches for a couple of days out of that 1 1/2# + loaf. If that's a sample of the recipes that will be in her cook book, I'll pass (well, I'd pass anyway, but you get the idea). Oh -- BTW I bought one of those loaf pans that has the lift-out tray. The fat drains down so the meatloaf doesn't bake in the fat. Makes it easy to drain the fat and to lift the meatloaf out of the pan. Great invention.
So doormat Barb has seen the light? Stay tuned for the next episode of "As the Worm Turns", LOL.

Ha! Good one!
Meatloaf sandwiches ought to be the easiest lunch to pack for 8. Sliced bread comes out of the machine and sliced meatloaf comes out of the oven. Just slap 'em together and go! The wonders of modern appliances!
Just watched the meatloaf recipe video at ABC. The video is from the fall of 2008. I remember they were doing some press that day. Kate also did an interview with a Christian network that day as well. And they took the kids to Central Park to play. All the while being filmed by TLC. The dates of a couple of comments on her recipe were from 9/09. Doesn't make sense. Did anyone else notice she didn't have the good bra on. She looked so different back then.

I watched it, too. Did she actually say anything other than "UM?" That was pathetic...can't you see her on a cooking show?
Woo Hoo!! I can post again without having to go to a lap[top or other internet server!!!
I would like to watch the meatloaf recipe video. Where is it on the ABC website? I could not find it.
I found it. I was trying to find it on the Wife Swap page, not ABC news.
Thanks.

Oop's, red faced again. I guess I should not read stuff about Kate until I'm fully awake. silly me
Aww-Kate and Milo are besties again, and Milo can go to sleep happy tonight. She even stayed up 10 minutes past her bedtime to tweet to Kate.
Kate tweeted that 4 out of 9 of them now how a flu like sickness, and Milo responded and Kate replied. Isn't that so sweet?
Kate also told Milo that her Stir column tomorrow is about sickness, which she wrote while being sick.
Milo must be in seventh heaven and all is right with the world.
So what was Kate slaving away on if her kids are sick? Was it her column for the Stir?

I think she shot herself in the foot this time. Really, who's going to feel sorry for her after watching what she puts her kids through? Maybe a retired school teacher or two.
She's good at three things; lying, grifting and alienating her audience.
miloandjack
@Kateplusmy8 BTW..U need 2know LitesOutMan is driving again! Yay me! And w/this tweet...its his yell N the background...LightsOut! Gnite!
Why on god's green earth does Kate NEED to know that LOM is driving again? Why would Kate even remotely care about some guy in the deep South who can now drive? Is he going to drive Milo north to PA so that Kate and Milo can walk hand in hand, singing "Close To You?"
Or is LOM Kate's new limo driver and he's taking her to NYC for a hair-frying appointment?
When I make a meatloaf I use a combination of ground beef and ground veal. I sauté my onion carrot and celery and then add some spices and V8 to the veggies. While this is cooling I mix some crushed saltines with an egg and then mix all with the meat. I make this into two loaves and freeze one. I have a little rack that I cover with foil (poke holes in foil so grease drains) and place this on a high sided cookie sheet with the meatloaf on top. I don't cover mine. Instead of ketchup I use a combo of brown sugar, cider vinegar, Tabasco and Sweet Baby Ray's honey chipotle BBQ sauce, cooked on stovetop to blend and thicken before basting meatloaf with it. It really is tasty when done.
Oh, I wanted to say that starting off something with "not that anyone cares, but" is probably the most juvenile, passive aggressive, manipulative, attention seeking things one could ever say. Really? Are we 12?
I'm in the camp that really doesn't feel that sorry for Milo. I feel sorrier for Kate than Milo.
The Stir is about sickness tomorrow? Great. I predict a whoa is me no one feels sickness as much as me because I get it times eight. Then lots of the kids love me soooo much because they take care of me! Followed by lots of things Kate "typically" does when they are sick.
What could possibly be more obnoxious than a sick narcissist. What a pain in the ass she must be to look after. I'm sure she milks it for all its worth.
I'm in the camp that really doesn't feel that sorry for Milo. I feel sorrier for Kate than Milo.
---------------------
I did feel sorry for her - at first. I thought she was just a harmless little old lady fan, yes, a bit over-the-top, but I figured that was her way. As her Celebrity Worship got worse and worse, I realized that's she is not harmless, and not a lonely lady who just wants attention from Kate. She's obsessed with it. Some of these fans who tweet celebrities do so because the celebrities notice them and respond. Then they're happy. But not Milo. She is demanding, speaks for Kate when Kate clearly doesn't want her to do so, and has set herself up as Kate's personal protector and guardian. Clearly, she's nuttier than Aunt Edna's fruitcake, but the problem is that Kate can't cut her off and I think Kate knows it. Earlier tonight the Austin guy tweeted Kate (and ONLY Kate) and asked her opinion on a car he was thinking about buying. Who jumps in but Milo, telling him not to get it because he needs to take more of a financial responsibility at home. She just can't keep her nose out of anything. It must be hell living with someone like that.
What do you do with someone like Milo? There's something "off" when a Lights Out Man tells you that you need to go to bed. What if you're not tired? Do you go to bed and toss and turn? I'd tell him to zip it and order HIM to go to bed. Then I'd stay up until the wee hours just as an act of defiance! Then again, we don't know if LOM is really her husband, or the night supervisor/orderly where she lives.
miloandjack
...And w/this tweet...its his yell N the background...LightsOut! Gnite!
Sleepless-Milo's LOM broke his leg in 3 places, and apparently it's healed enough so that he can now drive.
Of course, Milo just had to share the news with Kate! Actually, she shared it earlier with her tweetie buds, but didn't share it with Kate until Kate actually acknowledged her presence.
This is what I find most annoying about Milo. She gets on a kick and doesn't know when to let it go. I'm sure the other tweeties are sick of it also.

@Kateplusmy8 HaHa...wheres Hank?..@KendraWilkinson U need another #WifeSwap week 2get some rest/relax! :)
Enough with tweeting about Wife Swap, and Hank and Kendra. Kendra must cringe when she reads tweets like this. You would think Kate would feel embarrassed too.
Instead of ketchup I use a combo of brown sugar, cider vinegar, Tabasco and Sweet Baby Ray's honey chipotle BBQ sauce,

Try that on grilled chicken! That's exactly how I "doctor" my Sweet Baby Ray's sauce, and it's wonderful! Sometimes I'll put a little apricot preserves in there, too. YUM! DELISH! :)
Ur due some time off girl!

Time off from what? I still can't figure out what Kate does for a living. As far as I can tell she tweets and runs a military camp. One 40 minute reality show in the year and a half since her show was canceled is hardly employment.
