"This is really how I cook, it may be sloppy and horrible but Oh well."
- Kate Gossellin The above is from RH's site. **********************************************************************
I think she was nervous as hell. She cannot "perform" in front of an audience. She has nada, unless she's one on one and her arrogance shines through or she has a "sidekick" to bash ie-Jon, kids, Jody, Emeril, roof jewelry guys...What we saw on J&K was the "authentic" tfw-pompous, selfish, center of attention, bully, bullheaded etc..THAT IS HER.
Yelling that the broiler is on?? Are they toddlers crawling around on the floor in her precious kitchen? I would hope they have the maturity and common sense to NOT place their hands on the stove door just by being near it? Can you not feel the heat? Again, infantilizing them-see? see? whatever would they do without me??!!
I've been to Pampered Chef home parties that were 100xs more entertaining and informative. The reps were knowledgeable, talkative, and had a passion for the product and cooking.
I'll give her credit this ONE time-at least she didn't roll her eyes and smirk when asked the Jon question. See? I found ONE nice thing to say about her!
Leslie- Where is the clip that everyone is commenting on about the kids acting terribly when Katie was there. Isn't Kate gone to be on Bethenny show on Thursday?
Nutritional this and healthy that. Good grief, does it ever occur to her that people might not blindly trust her and look this stuff up? Following is the breakdown for her "healthy" bean bake. At 8 servings, that would work out to slightly more than half a cup per child. Obviously serving sizes would be less if she actually ate what she served the kids.
Nutrition Facts Serving Size 146 g (0.6cups) Calories 193 Calories from Fat 99 Total Fat 11.0g Saturated Fat 6.2g Trans Fat 0.0g Cholesterol 28mg Sodium 569mg Total Carbohydrates 14.5g Dietary Fiber 3.6g Sugars 2.7g Protein 11.5g Vitamin A 7% • Vitamin C 6% Calcium 27% • Iron 9%
And by the way, don't most good cookbooks these days include this breakdown?
Carezee said... 135 I'm a bit confused. If BB was thanking her for her book and note she obviously knew he was there. Why would you embarrass yourself by saying you didn't even know he was there? That tweet made absolutely no sense. Or is it me, am I missing something here? ****** Because Kate lies when she doesn't have to. She could have just said, "sorry we didn't meet!", but she feels she has to embellish with an implausible excuse, like "I didn't know you were there". She's a pathological liar. Yes, you know it's implausible and makes zero sense and is virtually not plausible, but that doesn't stop Kate from lying. So head scratching is an exercise in futility. It's like asking a leopard to change its spots, or a zebra to change its stripes. The only was on God's green earth that this lying could change is if Kate seeks professional help, and she'll never do that because she's perfect in her own eyes.
She claims she doesn't know what is going on with Jon which is a LIE because anyone as controlling as she is would certainly be aware of his every move. I bet she's had Steve investigate his finances, who he hangs with, etc. She wants to bring him down and she needs info to do that. That's why when asked about Jon she is dismissive and says he lives his own life and I do not concern myself with what his choices are. Totally BS.
ITA she knew BB was there but chose to ignore him. She is unfriendly and is only concerned with attention on herself. Everyone else is insignificant when Kate Gosselin is in the room.
paige_kate8fan @Kateplusmy8 are u awake yet? 1 hr ago from Twitter for iPhone
Although I do hope Kate is kind to her, I can't help but remember the false accounts she made pretending to be one or more of the Gosselin kids, the Facebook page that bashed Ellen, her other Twitter account which is far from being the sweet young thing she appears to be. Like her heroine, it seems Paige needs some mental health intervention.
She doesn't "tolerate" aversions? If they are good eaters like she constantly says why can't she "tolerate" aversions? If they like a few kinds of green vegetables serve them that and let them try something new on their own-you know, by NOT putting it on their plate yourself! You're giving tips on how to handle picky eaters, but in the same breath you claim to not have any picky eaters. Please tell us your REAL tips! I'm cringing thinking about the scenario, she couldn't even "tolerate" one of them wanting effing DRY cereal!
Amateur-ish. The best word to describe these videos. Painfully, embarrassingly, ridiculously AMATEUR-ISH. Kate would like that word. She likes all words with ISH tacked onto the end. As for her cookbook (and I use the term loosely), really? Meatloaf? Sloppy Joes? Pasta Salad? This sounds like a book a mom might give her 13-year-old daughter who is just beginning to cook. I am laughing however, at the ewes clamoring over each other to praise their idol, their little hooves clattering on each others heads to be the first to try Kate's childish and mundane recipes.
Her tweet to Brian Boitano? Simply classic Kate. This is her way of letting him (and her twitter-ewes) know that a minor star of his small stature and influence doesn't even register on her radar screens.
Paige? Sounds like she has a few other young ones traveling to Toronto who will be competing for a little lovin' from Kate. Kate will do one of two things: she will either perform as usual, giving the minimum effort and attention to Paige (with Steve in close proximity to control the panic that may ensue) or she will go overboard, having read all of the comments here on this blog.
And the clackety, bleating ewes wonder why we dislike her so. Too funny.
Sure does, and how about Eggs Benedict with a nice thick slice of Canadian bacon? So good. ***** I'll see your Eggs Benedict and raise you Eggs Chesapeake! That's right, a poached egg's goo and hollandaise sauce running down over a jumbo lump crab cake, sitting on a toasted English muffin. Heaven. Oh, that reminds me, must remind DH to stop at the farmers market and pick up a pound of jumbo lump crab after work today...
If anyone has any doubt that the Gosselin children need people to know the truth about their childhoods, read this short article and read the comments. They will break your heart but they will also give you resolve.
Her fans are truly delusional if they think WOS is making enough money each month to pay the bills and not dipping into the kids' accounts. ******** I think Kate dips into the kids accounts for their clothing, medical etc. But, she's sitting on piles of money, having made millions. 3 cars is a bit much for 1 person and I think what would make it $$ is paying PA insurance prices. I paid double what I pay now, when I lived in PA. I mean, it was expensive!! We have 3 cars. The third is our "just for fun" 2-seat convertible 6-speed, and I don't delude myself into thinking we have the "Zippy" car because it gets great gas mileage. It's a luxury, and I own that.
On 104.5 FM interview just now (you can listen online), K8 was asked if it might be easier to serve her kids food from McDonalds's vs all the cooking hoopla. Her dismissive answer? "My kids will NOT eat that stuff!"
The radio hosts are soft-balling her ("Gotta say, we love your accent!"), but maybe it'll get a little grittier when they return after station break to do some baking...
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack 12h @EmCr68 U & @Paige_Kate8fan should show up 2see Kate as cheerleaders w/signs #MiloAndJack says HI! Who wants 2b the dog..who's the cat? :)
==========
PLEASE, Milo! What is wrong with her?
The girls are excited. Let them have THEIR time with TFW. Gladys just can't help herself. She kidding/not kidding. She'd love it if they'd actually do it.
LBelle: If you do go, it would be interesting to see if TFW has changed anything up since her last debacle.You could always do some early Xmas shopping if you need an excuse to go to Yorkdale. But I don't blame you if you don't go.:)
Re: KC show again: although Hannah pointed to Collin & Alexis, she was fighting with Leah and also was the child who spat during the games, and had a sour face while her mom was yelling at their team. Hannah has always had a mean manipulative streak ( one example- play-doh episode with Clay) Just like Mom.
Oh, and did anyone notice that KC introduced Kate as Kate 'Gosling'- if I heard right?
I wonder, they say that eating disorders can develope in people who feel they have no control in their regular lives but they can control one aspect and that is how much food they eat.
Could Kate, who is a control freak, be feeling things in her life are out of control so she is controlling how much or how little she eats? ***** LisaNH, this is my opinion, too. I'm no mental health expert, but the times when I've dieted/exercised to the extreme, it's been in response to major life stresses, like divorce and death of a parent. I will admit to feeling some modicum of compassion for Kate, because raising 8 kids is daunting. On the other hand, Kate refuses to help herself by scaling down her lifestyle on many levels, and realizing that she is NOT ALONE. Jon is their father and he is a wonderful dad who is also raising their children. This self-imposed martyrdom is just that, self-imposed. She CHOOSES this for her life, so while I feel compassion for her situation, and CLEARLY SEE she is suffering vis a vis her skeletal and ruddy appearance, I know that you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.
Although I do hope Kate is kind to her, I can't help but remember the false accounts she made pretending to be one or more of the Gosselin kids, the Facebook page that bashed Ellen, her other Twitter account which is far from being the sweet young thing she appears to be. Like her heroine, it seems Paige needs some mental health intervention.
-----------------------
Jane, I was just about to post that. I wonder if Kate ever found out about those fake accounts, particularly the one where she allegedly pretended to be Cara, and screwed up the details.
Leslie Admin, do you mind posting your family's pasta salad? Also I think (not sure) it was Tucker...that also mentioned she had a great receipe. Mind sharing also. Thanks so much.
Again, infantilizing them-see? see? whatever would they do without me??!!
She also infantizes them by chopping up 'vegies' finely so that they don't know they're there. Uh, the kids are 9 & 13, and not entirely stupid.
That's what you do with a 2 year old. Ages 9 & 13 are too old to be playing stupid games like that with them. Show them some respect, for once.
And STOP serving them! Talk about control freak! Good grief! They are quite capable of serving themselves. Line up the food on the island, if you must. But serve it buffet style where they help themselves.
Personally I think the reason she doesn't just put the food on the table and let them help themselves is that she isn't *at* the table. Hard to control what they're doing when you're not there, eh?
She stays in the kitchen, or maybe retreats to her room, far far away from those chaotic children. They do all the clean-up, so once the food is served she's done with her part of the job. She's outta there.
Tucker's Mom said... 14 ...I think what would make it $$ is paying PA insurance prices. I paid double what I pay now, when I lived in PA. I mean, it was expensive!! ------------------------------------ Our car insurance in PA was half the cost of what it was when we lived in MA. I find it pretty cheap.
She kidding/not kidding. She'd love it if they'd actually do it.
----------------------------
I don't think she's kidding. She and Kate are cut from the same cloth. Both love attention; love being at the top; love being adored and held up to high esteem; love being important. Milo thrives on it and she'd like nothing better than Paige showing up holding a sign that recognizes Milo's position as Chief Ewe. It wouldn't surprise me if she actually seething about Paige finally meeting Kate. Paige just might become the favored one and Milo couldn't stand it.
This whole sheeple hierarchy is fascinating from a sociological perspective.
Why didn't she just get on a plane and make the two-hour trip to Baltimore to meet Kate? Something is very off about that entire situation.
Oh NO! Poor Paige! You know, it would be nice if TFW did something nice for her after all the gifts and "support" Paige has given her. She could have gotten Paige tickets, or she could get her a little gift. You, know, to reciprocate. I hope Paige finds her tickets
Excuse me? Weren't they just spotted/outed at a MickeyD's a few weeks ago? Sounds like they eat that stuff just fine. What an insufferable snob, and coming from a woman whose recipes use an awful lot of canned foods. Own it. Or perhaps she really forgets everything in what passes for a brain.
Oh NO! Poor Paige! You know, it would be nice if TFW did something nice for her after all the gifts and "support" Paige has given her. She could have gotten Paige tickets, or she could get her a little gift. You, know, to reciprocate. I hope Paige finds her tickets
Under normal circumstances, this would be fine. However, Paige's obsession isn't normal and to give her a gift or recognize her in some way might not be the best idea. This is how fans get the idea that they are the favorites, the select few, their obsession grows, they stalk and pester, and if they are ignored, that's when you need to hide the bunny. A celebrity doesn't encourage idol worship. No good can come out of it.
Anonymous said... 20 Leslie Admin, do you mind posting your family's pasta salad? Also I think (not sure) it was Tucker...that also mentioned she had a great receipe. Mind sharing also. Thanks so much. ******** Cheese Tortellini Pasta Salad
In a large bowl, combine: -1 lb tortellini (fresh or frozen), cooked per package directions and drained -4-5 (or more if you like!) broccoli florets, blanched in boiling, lightly salted water for 2-3 minutes, then shocked in an ice bath to lock in color and stop cooking. Chop broccoli into smaller florets. -4-5 (or more if you want!) hearts of palm, chopped - 1- 8 ounce can hearts or bottoms of artichoke in water (not oil packed), drained and chopped -1-1 1/2 cups cubed summer sausage -1/2 cup chopped olives (manzanilla, picholine, kalamata etc.) -8 oz. cubed cheese (cheddar, feta, havarti etc.)
Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard salt and pepper to taste 3/4 cup olive oil
In a bowl, place all ingredients except olive oil. Whisk to incorporate. Slowly drizzle olive oil in, whisking continually to combine and emulsify. Pour about 1/2 of the dressing over the pasta salad, toss gently and store, covered in the refrigerator for at least 1/2 hour. Pour remaining dressing over pasta salad and toss just before serving.
And STOP serving them! Talk about control freak! Good grief! They are quite capable of serving themselves. Line up the food on the island, if you must. But serve it buffet style where they help themselves. ******* Thank you! It's understandable that serving family style at the table involves more time, effort and dishes, but making them line up cafeteria style does ZERO for helping the childrens' etiquette and self sufficiency. It does, however, go a long way in controlling their food intake and individual choices. I just imagine these kids eating at a friend's house one day, sittin there, stymied by everyone else at the table passing plates and bowls and serving their own portions and making their own choices. I sincerely hope that Kate isn't still cutting their food, and I really do wonder if the children are allowed to get up and get seconds by themselves.

I remember my mom (in Philly, which ups the cost) paying about or more for car insurance than what DH and I pay for 2 newer cars combined.
Why would you put tickets down somewhere in a cab? Wouldn't you keep them in your purse? ************************************************************************ Seriously! Sorry, but I hate this kind of crap-people forgetting airline tickets, passports, id, concert tickets- etc when you have been DREAMING and PLANNING forever? Not just Paige, but you hear it all the time! I understand forgetting your lipstick, a watch, incidentals...but something of such importance!!?
BTW - I never watch this show....saw Paige in the audience. Funny, it looks like Kate is waiting on a bench in the lobby. Hahaha!
Currently, Robert Herjavec from Shark Tank (Dragon's Den in Canada), and my favourite Bryan Baeumler and his wife. Kate must be so jealous, as Bryan's wife is probably the same age as her, and she is stunning!
Layla, this is all YOUR FAULT!!!!!!!! The dh asked this am what I was humming. I have been humming ” What Would Brian Boitano Do?” For TWO DAYS! If not for you mentioning he was a super hero, I would never have looked up the South Park song clip on YouTube. And now I can't get the song out of my head! My dh was quite perplexed when I told him it was Layla s fault.
It's understandable that serving family style at the table involves more time, effort and dishes,
Yes but with 8 perfectly healthy children, it should only take a very few minutes to set everything on the table. How long does it take to set out a basket of crackers and a bowl of grapes, anyway??
We've seen TFW's table....the glasses already poured to exactly 1/2 full, ready to drink. Like the kids are too stupid to pour their own drinks.
I'd be offended if I came to sit at the table and someone had already portioned out my food and poured my glass. All I had to do was sit down and eat it. How offensive that whoever won't take the time to sit down and eat with me.
Question for you "lawish" people ;-) Kate mentioned that she can not talk about the lawsuit because "it's in litigation". Is it? Does litigation begin with the filing of the suit and responses, or does it begin at trial? Thank you!
Mel said....Personally I think the reason she doesn't just put the food on the table and let them help themselves is that she isn't *at* the table. Hard to control what they're doing when you're not there, eh? ______________________________________________ I think the reason she doesn't let them serve themselves family style is because they fight and whine. Its the old so and so took more than me stuff. Family dinners is a time to teach a child manners and respect and sharing. Kate doesn't parent. She even said in an interview that she doesn't get involved in their fights, they have to work it out themselves. Children fight and whine. Its part of growing up. Its up to the parent to sort the issues out and have the children come to a resolution. So if the parent isn't at the table to keep an eye on and immediately correct problems, the issues will continue. Kate doesn't want to deal with reality. And having children is reality. Eating somewhere else in The Manor is her reality.
Thank you for the link about NPD mothers. It reads like Kate to a "T". Especially the part about needing to appear as the consummate mother to the outside world. Kate finds it necessary to outright lie about her kids eating junk food of any kind. She and the kids were seen at McDonalds just about a week ago. We know the kids LOVE Dunkin Donuts, too. "My kids ask me, Mommy, what are the orange triangle things?" Really? Seriously? Like the children will get Scurvy if they eat a Dorito. Puleez.
I'll give her credit this ONE time-at least she didn't roll her eyes and smirk when asked the Jon question. See? I found ONE nice thing to say about her!
+++++++++++++++++++++
Take another look at the video. Her eyes, those cold eyes at the questioner and I swear she clenched her jaw.

Why cast aspersions on this young lady? You have no proof that she created fake twitter accounts using the names of the Gosselin children. The person mentioned a mall in Canada and people jumped to the conclusion that it was Paige. It is a big country. She has been harassed by the worse of the nonfans. She shouldn't have false accusations against her. We're better than that.
May name is Watched the Marilyn show...... First, there was an interview part, where the host and guest sat facing each other. Marilyn held the book up. Marilyn said she heard on a radio interview this morning that K was favoring a foot. K was wearing flat black shoes, she said to watch out for corners of kitchen islands. Talk about two daughters asking if they would have the recipes for their kids, that she never measured and had to start writing down the measurements for the book. Marilyn asked if there was one recipe all the kids loved and K said because there was so many of them, there was not one all liked, but that all their favorites were in the book except the Chicken/eggplant dish (cant remember the name and that was K's favorite). Marilyn was trying to compliment how K looked by asking if she ate what was in the book. She said yes, but portion control. The next segment was a demonstration. M and K were at a counter with a mixer, ingredients in several separate bowls and then the final product, some large muffins. Before they started Kate called Paige up from the audience and presented her with the copy M was holding. It was signed by all K and the kids. K explained P was a fan. P spoke of being a fan since 2008 then contacting K ( I guess via twitter) since 2011 and how huge a fan she was etc. She was invited to stay at the counter for the demonstration and took a few seconds to decide if she wanted to stay or sit. She stood at the other side of the counter and watched. M commented on her pretty dress. K poured all the ingredients in one by one explaining what each was and then turned on the mixer. K made a joke for P to watch out for splatters. It was a healthy muffin. She uses maple syrup and she and M spoke of how that's well known in Canada. The muffins are breakfast to go for the twins. The mashed banana can be frozen, muffins can be frozen in individual zip bags and put into a container. K was asked how many freezers and fridges she owned. K answered and then corrected herself. 3 of each was the final. K poured the batter into the muffin sheet, from a very large, wide bowl, so the muffin tins sort of over flowed and looked very messy when the camera zoomed up, but that could not be helped. M made a joke of her ever getting time to have a shower. M demonstrated how a mom showers quickly. K spoke of moms making time for themselves, stepping back and reading a couple of chapters in their book. All in all it was a regular,calm, normal, interview of someone who wrote a book and gave a demonstration. M said the recipe was on the website and everyone in the audience was getting a signed copy of the book.
If anyone has any doubt that the Gosselin children need people to know the truth about their childhoods, read this short article and read the comments. They will break your heart but they will also give you resolve.
About the foot - She was wearing heels last week in the first half of her "media" tour. She didn't go home in between. It was all of a sudden, she is wearing flats.
I am trying to stop reading about TFW, thinking about her gets me upset and feeling sorry about Jon and the children. I so wish she would seek help and listen to the advice of an expert. This is all beyond sad at this point. With each failure, each crash and burn, each story worthy of tabloid fodder she is taking away more and more from those children.
I think this is the last note I'll post. I've enjoyed reading here the last several weeks. Appears there is no nastiness here, just venting and conversation. I've learned some things about book publishing.....and hard boiled eggs...heehee
She absolutely had to know Brian Boitano was there. Didn't she have a schedule concerning the demo stage? No one - in any phone conversation ever mentioned this to TFW, "...And you'll be on before Brian..." something of that ilk?! Did she ever look at the Baltimore Book Fest website? Is she really this self involved? Wouldn't anyone check to see..."I wonder who else will be in the "Food for Thought Stage." And yes absolutely as Mel said earlier, any performer, artist at a street fair, public speaker is aware of the company, the peers surrounding them. I am beginning to believe she has lost the ability to be sincere. That even when there is no reason to do so she twists the truth.
And a "family" cookbook whose title has "love" in the mix, and many recipes named after the children, why no credit or stories about her own mother or siblings? Not one. Family recipes jumped from Grandma to TFW. My heart breaks for these children. And I don't know why but most especially, Cara and Collin.
I wish the twitter war would stop, she is doing enough damage on her own at this point.
One final thought, her comment about what a sloppy cook she is. I remember a clip were she issued a very serious warning to any child who might spill a single grain of sugar on the floor....(then lines the counter top with slippery trash bags)
Thank you! I just watched it. I wanted to comment about the scene when Katie C and TFW are drinking wine at the end and are commenting about the noise level from the kids. First off, does TFW ever have anything positive about her kids? Ever? In so many interviews, she's always seen complaining about the chaos, while rolling her eyes. She's had multiples for nine plus years. You would think she'd be used to it. Michelle Duggar has 19 children and you don't see her having a melt down and wanting pitty. She's proud of her kids. Katie C's commented that she needed to run a right ship or there would be chaos doesn't make sense, since according to them, everyday at the Gosselin's house is pandemonium anyway. So which is it? The clip at the end as TFW sipped wine showed me what she would rather be doing with her life. Wining and dining, not caring and cooking for 8 "wild" kids.
I am convinced now more than ever that Kate most assuredly reads here. The topic of late was concerning if Paige would be disappointed if Kate didn't acknowledge her. Well evidently she did one better and had her up on the stage at the show this morning. SHE DOES READ HERE!!!
She called paige onto the stage - gave her a book autographed by her and the kids. She is "super obsessed" with Kate.
Marilyn told Paige to stay up on stage with kate while she makes her "Super Healthy Breakfast Muffins".
Um, um, um, um....put nutrition in....organic ingredients...blah, blah, blah. She never finishes a sentence I've noticed. So much for the gift of gab.
Marilyn asked her how many freezers she has. She said 3 FULL, and 2 FULL refrigerators, then said I have 3 freezers, and 3 refrigerators.
Very MEDIOCRE appearance. She only had a couple of minutes to complete her recipe - lots of dead air while she was waiting for the muffin mixture to combine. It was Marilyn who kept everything going. And she just slopped the muffin mixture into the tins - looked very unprofessional.
I loathe this "woman" and "her" entire brand!

One of my friends posted this on another site: Paige got to meet her this morning on Marilyn Denis and the ubers are gushing over on twitter how lucky she is and what a wonderful "role model" for Paige. Someone needs to whack all those women with a wooden spoon.
This article describes the situation in the Gosselin household: "They will use their children as slaves. They will delegate all household chores to the children as early as possible. They will insist that they pay for their own personal items and clothing as early as possible. Older children will become responsible for younger children. "
"These mothers steal their kids’ childhoods, identities and future healthy relationships. " Yup. Kate feels like her childrens' childhoods are for her to use, not for them to experience individually. Very little is done to indulge individual interests and activities. Mady and Cara continue to be able to pursue their interests, I believe because it would look bad to stop. They are involved in school activities and it would be very noticeable if they stopped. The 6-pack, on the other hand, never started anything outside of the home, and I think that was strategic on Kate's part. They were the real moneymakers of the family and to have them be involved in other time consuming, film usurping activities would not be tolerated.
I believe TFW serves them from the counter so she can control the kids portions. She doesn't want any waste, so she'd rather have them finish what is on their plates and ask for more than to not finish their food. I also wonder if she serves them bread with their meals, as this is a common filler instead of seconds. I think with these kids being able to help themselves would be a disaster as some kids would be left without much or anything to eat by the time bowls would be passed around. When children are not accustomed to helping themselves and food is limited, this is what happens. Certain ones will stuff themselves and others will be left with nothing if their mother doesn't have enough prepared for their individual and growing appetites.
I was looking over the notes I jotted down at the BBF, and I wrote down "cooking for large family" and just after that had written "divorced for 4 years". When I was writing it up later, I was going by the notes I had written (which were based on what I could hear), and wrote the "large family" as the question and the "divorced" comment. I apologize for that--I was writing notes to remember what I heard, and they didn't go together. I did not mean to mislead anyone about that one--they were one right after the other, and I thought that was her answer. I didn't hear the guy ask about Jon's favorite meal at all. It was very hard to hear, especially since I was standing way in the back. Anyway, watching the videos, it's obvious there was a question there I didn't hear, and therefore didn't add to my notes. Crappy acoustics and disjointed note-taking do not go well together, and I apologize if I misled anyone.
Just got back from.....the Marilyn Denis show! The studio is only a few blocks from my office so curiosity got the better of me and I went. In a word....surreal! It's a small studio so the audience is small also. As a result it was easy to spot Paige from her Twitter picture....she's quite tall...probably 5'8 or so. Here's the really interesting part....prior to the show, Steve coolly sauntered into the audience holding area and walked straight over to Paige, shook her hand and they had a quick conversation So Steve had obviously done his homework too and knew what she looked like.. Onward to the studio...so thrilled to find out that Robert Herjavec from Shark Tank/ Dragon's Den was one of the first guests. He has the most amazing blue eyes....and such a sharp dresser! Fast forward to Kate's segment which was the last 10 minutes or so of the show. Ironically, when she sat down, she was looking directly at me. I had to smile and nod (and "bite my tongue") given where I was sitting. She's not as tall as she appears in most pictures. She was wearing flats because she apparently broke her foot in an encounter with the island in her kitchen. She is a tad too thin for her frame and doesn't have the glow that she used to have. She was fairly relaxed during the interview. The show's set is quite nice and intimate which probably helped. Kate had nothing new to say however. She then did a two-minute demo on muffin preparation but wait! Before she started the demo, she said that she had a surprise. The surprise? She had an autographed copy of her book to present to Paige who was brought up to the stage to meet her "idol". Paige then got to stand beside Kate during the demo.The stars and the planets are all aligned in Paige's universe! So Kate came through for her No. 1 fan. On a positive note, Paige was very well behaved. Most ironic of all...everyone in the audience received an autographed copy of Kate's Cooked Book.....including me! Aargh! Any takers?
AnnieD said... 45 ****** Wow! Thanks for the report. I'm very happy that Paige got to meet Kate and had special attention given to her. She jumped through a lot of hoops to get there and deserved to get to meet Kate in person.
AnnieD, So, Steve was playing "wing man" there, too, huh? This is the third time someone from this blog has seen them, and it has always been Steve who is the hands-on mingler. With TFW it's all just for show. If she doesn't get some positive publicity out of it, then she doesn't do it. These free books are obviously being unloaded onto these talk shows to boost the numbers of so-called sales for TFW. Did you see anything after the show? Did TFW interact with any of the audience? Did Steve?
Broken foot??? I think that's one of her more outrageous statements. She probably stubbed her toe. She was wearing flats but a broken foot would require a cast - I didn't see one and she walked onto the set without favouring the "broken foot".

bm ***** Not necessarily. A broken toe can get "buddy taped" and with flats or a cast shoe, can heal without plaster. This is typically how stress fractures are treated in the tarsals and metatarsals.
Small world, isn't it? :) Kate and Paige and one of us...in the same room. Kate's segment closed the show but there was no time for mingling with the audience as the show went right into pre-taping for tomorrow and the guest was Suzanne Somers! She was delightful... friendly and well-spoken. I expect that Kate had "left the building" by the time the audience was free to go. I saw no sign of them as I left.
She must have been mad about something and kicked the island. That's the only way I can think of that your island could cause you to break your foot.
I will give Kate brownie points for how she handled Paige. I am sure she made Paige's year and I think it's one of the first times I've heard about a really good fan interaction on Kate's part.
She did not break her foot on the kitchen island - she was wearing heels for her other appearances - the photos from her 1st book signing clearly show her heels. It was the next day - really can't even remember the taping she was going to - Katie perhaps? There were pics of her outside the building, and she was wearing flats.
Maybe she got wind of Jon's appearance on The View? I don't know about all of you, but I don't think there are many kitchen islands to break your foot on in many New York hotels.
Thanks for the report from the set! Glad that Paige can now be awarded the #1 fan title! If Milo really loved TFMJG, she would have been in Baltimore, or at a book signing, or somewhere.
The reason Steve knew who Paige was is because Paige was non stop tweeting about her trip to the studio, the cab ride, waiting in line and so on. Kate tweeted her that she just then got back on twitter and asked her what she was wearing and Paige told her a red dress. That's how Steve knew who she was.
Congratulations to Paige for being asked to come on stage with Kate. Very, very kind of Kate to do that. I have to give her kudos on that one.
I've still got to wonder who pays Steve now as her road manager and assistant. He certainly can't be commanding the high fee TLC was paying him. Perhaps he works for Kate gratis...or at least at a reduced rate if she's paying (and giving him occasional room and board above the garage)? Not sure if he's still written into any agreements for these appearances, since I have no idea who is footing the bill. It's very strange, if you ask me.
I wonder how soon she'll pen another book to get more of these trips and attention, because I still say she's not going to get another tv gig.
In the video prior to the tour, where TFW is having a conversation with the paparazzi her toes are taped. The video where she lingers (rather than getting in the car and closing the door). Where she states she pays no attention to what Jon does, and she shows no reaction in hearing about the gun incident....which brings in to question the words, "profoundly concerned" being thrown around.
Bullyville@BullyVille5m And we're done helping ADULTS who are "bullied" on Twitter. Their lack of appreciation is obvious & quite frankly, they reap what they sow.
TFW has been home in between appearances. I believe she tweeted from home after one of the NY or NJ signing. She probably did kick the island. She could have tripped over it though. It's just like her to say broken foot instead of broken toe though

Thanks for the reviews, Alberta Girl, AnnieD and Anon. It's interesting to get 'live' perspectives on TFW's performance. Giving out books- won't that decrease sales? She needs every single one she can get! Happy for Paige...I guess!

Does he mean Kate too? Lol. Poor BV he ramped up the outings and Kate was too busy with the She's Cooked tour to notice and lavish him with the praise and attention he wanted. Milo BV and Kate have similar personalities. I wonder if he'll write a letter like Scott.

As for Kate's broken "foot" she was home on Sept 26 after her TV appearances. Could have broken her toe then. There's quite a difference between a broken toe and a broken foot. Leave it to Kate to exaggerate if she's going around saying she broke her foot.

Oh, oh. The story below is front and center on MSN. A search of MSN for TFMJG brings up articles about Jon and the gun incident from 3-4 days ago, nothing about her cookbook.
So how did she go from having a blister to a broken foot? This was tweeted on Friday when she was at the BBF.
McLaughlin Kraus @NannyDiaries 17h @Kateplusmy8 so great chatting w you today in the green room. Hope ur foot heals quickly--and wishing you a blister-free future :) 8:15 PM - 27 Sep 13
Paige has just tweeted, "Kate wore flats because her foot was hurt".
Big difference between "broken foot" and "her foot was hurt".
I watched the show and TFW definitely said her foot was broken. Again I think she probably stubbed her toe because I know how she likes to dramatize everything. If the injury was serious she would have walked on the set favouring the injury - which she did not.
Congratulations to Paige for being asked to come on stage with Kate. Very, very kind of Kate to do that. I have to give her kudos on that one.

I don't think she deserves kudos for bringing Paige onstage. We all know she reads here. I think Steve convinced her to do it since he appears to be filling the job(s) of road and PR manager, assistant, wingman, etc.
"I watched the show and TFW definitely said her foot was broken. Again I think she probably stubbed her toe because I know how she likes to dramatize everything."
Didn't she tell someone else previously that she had blisters? She's probably covering for herself, since she knows she was photographed riding in a golf cart at Baltimore (haha), and having a broken foot (rather than just a blister) would justify it.
Wow! What got BV's tighty whities in a bunch. Wonder if he was referring to Kate, if he finally saw the light and realized there's no way he and Razzy are going to win this lawsuit. What I don't understand is why he's still on Twitter. Many accounts have been suspended for a lot less than what he's done - the outings and vulgarities and more.
URL said... 65 ''...I believe TFW serves them from the counter so she can control the kids portions. She doesn't want any waste, so she'd rather have them finish what is on their plates and ask for more than to not finish their food.'' ''....When children are not accustomed to helping themselves and food is limited, this is what happens. Certain ones will stuff themselves and others will be left with nothing if their mother doesn't have enough prepared for their individual and growing appetites.'' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I think that TFMJG controls the children's portions because she wants total control of the children. I don't believe it has a single to do with food waste, because TFW would just make them eat any 'waste' the next meal. She has said that is what she does.
You are assuming that the children are not allowed to serve themselves at Jon's house the way they are at TFW's house. Jon has said that they eat what they want and as much as they want when they are with him.
Your comments about ''food is limited'' and ''if their mother doesn't have enough prepared for their individual and growing appetites.'' seem to be saying that TFMJG is incapable? chooses not to? properly care for her children by not preparing enough for them.
I believe she prepares more than enough food for the children to eat their fill, but she doesn't allow them to eat as much as they want...thus her insisting on serving them the portions SHE decides they should have. Controlling the food intake is just one more way for her attempt at total control over those children!

LOL, too funny, Tucker's Mom!
Does everyone think this is indeed Kate BV is referring to? Oh, ouch. It does sound like the way things usually go down with her. And who better to show "a lack of appreciation" than Kate Mine-All-Mine Gosselin? BV doesn't seem like the kinda guy you want to make enemies with.
About Paige being the one good story for Kate--my first thought when I read that Kate invited Paige onstage is that Kate was ENSURING she had a good story for GosselinBooks's site.
How could I forget the lawsuit? I bet he's feeling under appreciated for cooking the whole thing up and now fighting two high powered attorneys. Knowing Kate I doubt she's bending over backwards to lavish him with kudos. When she's doing media tours is like nobody else exists. This probably included BV. Tragic. Not.
Bullyville @BullyVille 1m @BullyVille and the "adults" who we're referring to know exactly who they are. It's not EVERY adult we've helped in the past. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Has Bullyville and TFMJG had a falling out? Maybe they've realized that Jon and Robert have excellent legal representation and they need to put the best spin possible on their involvement with her.
The toes...first couple seconds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b67umsfv1HA
I cannot believe I am talking about her toes...ridiculous, but it happened before the tour. So she tried to walk in heels for a day and it didn't work, probably got a blister on top of it all.
" TFW has been home in between appearances. I believe she tweeted from home after one of the NY or NJ signing. She probably did kick the island. She could have tripped over it though. It's just like her to say broken foot instead of broken toe though "
I wonder if that is the same foot or toe she just had the blister on?
I don't think that tweet from BV was referring to Kate at all. I still don't know why he got involved with her, other than possibly to bring media attention to himself, and now he's allegedly involved in suing some of the non-fans for alleged slander/libel/threats against him. That tweet is probably referring to other adults he tried to help and somehow his efforts went unappreciated. Or something. Who knows...but I doubt it was referring to Kate.
Why cast aspersions on this young lady? You have no proof that she created fake twitter accounts using the names of the Gosselin children. The person mentioned a mall in Canada and people jumped to the conclusion that it was Paige. It is a big country. She has been harassed by the worse of the nonfans. She shouldn't have false accusations against her. We're better than that.
--------
Cast aspersions? Is that what Paige did to Jon? I remember when Paige apologized to Jon for the names and more she called him. And then proceeded to continue to bash him. I'm sure someone has those tweets. She's not the sweet young thing people think she is.
Why is it so hard to think that her identity on the blog, Twitter, Facebook, etc wasn't uncovered? BV does it daily. Even CJ and Ziggy (or was it Goody or the IWs?) are able to find out who's behind a screen name.
I'm happy Kate was nice to her. We all know that Kate can turn it on when she wants to and since Twitter is just about her only means of communicating with the public (other than filing lawsuits) of course she's going to be nice to Paige in public. Imagine if Kate ignored her - Twitter would erupt!
There's also the issue of Paige having thousands of photos of Kate and the kids, as well as (I believe) a You Tube channel devoted to them. Or she did at one time. You don't want to ignore uber fans like that - they can turn quickly.

If I had to speculate, I'd say that Robert was 'hinting' on his site that bullyville had met his match, and was being forced to drop his stupid so-called lawsuit against the people that were ''bullying'' TFMJG on twitter.

****************************************
Well, geeze...there's gratitude for ya!
Kate helps this guy get his name out there and this is how he repays her? I guess he just doesn't know how to help her anymore.
Seriously though, what did he expect? He obviously wasn't paying too close attention to Kate's MO. Perhaps he just thought, because he was so diligent in having her back, that her gratefulness would endure.
Of course, it's not clear that he's actually referring to Kate but I'd bet my last loonie that these tweets are aimed at her.
I'm guessing, and I emphasize that this is just my opinion, that he perhaps found himself in some legal hot water as a result of his association with Kate and that she is doing her best to wash her hands of the entire thing.
Why does Julianna Moore have second billing to Kate?? Julianna Moore has bee on small/large screen for 30 years. Kate is an untalented has been!!
Why did the audience stand up??
Why does Katie give Kate so much credit for raising 8kids?? Doesn't she know that there are mothers and single mothers who also have large families and don't have the money/ nannies that Kate has.
Doesn't Katie know that there are teachers with 32 or more students who supervise and teach students all day long??
Doesn't Katie know that Kate wants her job??
Does Katie have her head in the sand, or or doesn't have a clue about the world around her, or is she just plain dumb?? Maybe all three??
BTW, no kudos to Kate for allowing Paige on stage. A really nasty book is coming out and she's going to need her small army to defend her! She never does anything because she's a sweetheart. I think she's disgusting!

I don't think that bullyville and/or his 'lawsuit' has crossed TFMJG's mind while she is on her 'book tour', and the center of attention.
I'm convinced that Robert's attorneys are behind bullyville caving, and Robert was hinting at that in his post about ''brilliant attorney'' and that attorney's adult bullying quotes.
Joy in Virginia (46), Sorry! If it makes you feel better, my boys have been playing the BB song on YouTube non-stop. Now my younger kids are singing an edited version of it, too. They did enjoy meeting him and having pictures taken with him. And every time I get the overwhelming urge to hit the beach, I blame you and your amazing stories of beach living. I'm jealous!
Funny how the word just came out that TFW's lawyer doesn't believe that adults can be bullied, and suddenly BV is feeling unappreciated. BV sure did bust his bum to help TFW, and I'm thinking he's getting nothing but grief--and possibly some legal issues--in return. I don't blame him for feeling unappreciated. Next time he should be a little more cautious before jumping into some has-been's persecution fantasy.
I'm not sure if anyone will remember me, as I haven't posted for probably close to a year now, and I had just started to post more frequently when I stopped. I purchased Robert's book the morning it came out because I felt that some stunt would cause it to be pulled quickly. Oddly enough, the weekend it came out I was busy teaching at a series of conferences (the Awana ministry, if anyone is familiar with it) on teaching/working with children. My heart just broke as I read Robert's book, to the point where I had to step back and leave the blog for a while. I personally couldn't handle both Robert's account of the children's lives as well as their continued happenings on a daily basis on this site. I finally came back around January, but since then I have remained in the corner lurking again. I've started to comment before, but as others have stated too, so many of you are much more eloquent than myself, and generally say what I would have said anyhow.
So anyhow, I came out of my corner to say that I do think that Bullyville's latest comments might be referring to TFW. Especially with the word ADULTS capitalized. If you take a look at Robert's latest post on his blog site, it seems to me that Bullyville could possibly be referring to what Robert posted. At least that's the impression I got. Interesting....is Bullyville keeping up with Robert's blog site???
I wonder how soon she'll pen another book to get more of these trips and attention, because I still say she's not going to get another tv gig. ******* Yes, "Eight Little Mirrors"
I think Steve works with Kate still because you never know, it might pay off if Kate gets big again. It's an outside shot, but he's invested a whole lot thus far, so he's hedging his bets instead of cutting his losses. I thought for a very long time that Steve actually "masterminds" Kate.

***************************************
Could be Remona. I did say I was merely guessing. I was basing my opinion on the fact that BullyVille used the words 'lack of appreciation'. I can't think of a better description for Kate.
Ultimately though, it's BullyVille himself who is the most to blame for whatever the situation really is.
Aligning himself with Kate was a mistake, many of us called that from the get go. However it's playing out now is a result of that choice.
Still, no sympathy from me no matter how you slice it.
Let's throw tomatoes said... 123 I just watched Katie and I have questions: "Why did the audience stand up??" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Having just experienced being a member of the audience at the Marilyn Denis Show, I've learned that the audience reaction is all very orchestrated. They have you practice cheering; tell you when to provide a standing ovation, etc. No "natural" reactions permitted ( i.e. crickets) when the guests enter the studio. :)
Mel: I also think the reason Kate doles out the food she has cooked, so Jon can't say in court or anywhere else, she is not feeding them the 5 food groups. Her moto is you get what you are SERVED and you don't complain or you get it for the next meal. Those kids clearly have no freedom of choice. On Couric show, Kate had the pizza, cut up on paper plates, what looked like salad doled out on bowels, who does that? Amy2: That is correct. On the CWS, when Kendra, did a taco dinner, and put the food on the coffee table thing, when the 8, started to put food in the taco shell, they did infact, fight over the food, one even stepped on the others plate, and got food all over the floor. That people was Kendras mistake. Sorry, people I would have had them eat at the table, not on the floor. As for Kate's suppose broken toe, BS! I broke my little toe on my right foot, it swelled for a whole week, and then I had a cast for 4 weeks, on crutches. Kate managed to walk and stand. It is more likely she stubbed her toe, no breakage. What a drama queen!.
Why would you put tickets down somewhere in a cab? Wouldn't you keep them in your purse? ************************************************************************ Seriously! Sorry, but I hate this kind of crap-people forgetting airline tickets, passports, id, concert tickets- etc when you have been DREAMING and PLANNING forever? Not just Paige, but you hear it all the time! I understand forgetting your lipstick, a watch, incidentals...but something of such importance!!? ***** How big could those tickets be? If she doesn't carry a purse, couldn't she put them in her pants pocket? Or heck, tuck them in your bra if there's nowhere else to put them!
This also makes me wonder if Paige was ever really going to go. Is is mere sad coincidence that she "lost" her tickets in the cab? And did she say "tickets" in the plural? Wouldn't she need just one?
Thanks Steve and Kate. No matter why you did it, you did it, and the expression on Paige's face is priceless. She looked pretty and so did Kate.
feet, toes and mouth injuries hurt so bad. There is no relief from the pain. Thinking everyone should leave her alone on this one.
To her other fav fan...if that was you in the green stretch pants, you need to get a hold of yourself with a quickness. No one here or with Kate's team will allow you to do what you were trying to do at the book fair. no no
Let's throw tomatoes (#123) I agree with your comments about Katie Couric - she's not the brightest bulb.
I was watching the Today show on 9/11. The camera panned the tower just after the first plane hit. At that point there was speculation that possibly a commuter plane had struck the tower. Katie and Matt continued talking about the incident but couldn't provide any detailed information.
With the camera on the first tower, the second plane hit the second tower. When that happened even I knew it must be an attack but Katie Couric said, "Gee, what are the chances of that?" meaning both incidents were accidents. Matt had to tell her these were no accidents, they were terrorist attacks.
That conversation comes back to me every time I see her on TV. I just couldn't believe that an experienced journalist could be so naive.
BTW, no kudos to Kate for allowing Paige on stage. A really nasty book is coming out and she's going to need her small army to defend her! She never does anything because she's a sweetheart. I think she's disgusting! **********************************
May be true in some sorts on what you posted, but...Paige is a young girl, and she don't know all this nor does she care. She just wanted to meet her idol of many years, and she did. I do give kate and steve a pass, because it was the RIGHT thing to do at the moment.
I'm guessing, and I emphasize that this is just my opinion, that he perhaps found himself in some legal hot water as a result of his association with Kate and that she is doing her best to wash her hands of the entire thing.
&&&&&&&&
Ummm...when has Kate EVER admitted she was wrong? ;) I don't think she's washing her hands of anything!
@BullyVille: Even if you DESPISE a hater because they're a vile human being, sometimes they're worth listening too........sometimes they're right. #truth ======== Another interesting tweet from BV. I would love to know what's going on here because although they may not be talking about their relationship with TFW and her minions it certainly sounds like they are. Hmmmmm, SG if you've got the inside scoop do tell!
I've been thinking about the $1600/day fee Steve was getting during the time of TFW's women's conference and church talk circuit and wondering how she can afford that fee now. I'm leaning towards thinking he charged that much for certain jobs because it was written into one-time-only event contracts (and was essentially being paid by the someone else) and that he has a different rate for long term general employers like w/TLC and TFW.
Does Katie have her head in the sand, or or doesn't have a clue about the world around her, or is she just plain dumb?? Maybe all three??"
******************************************************* I only watched the 'at home with the Gosselins' part of the Katie C segment. I can't stand to watch Kate lie her way through face to face sit down interviews.
I don't think Katie Couric is oblivious or dumb. I think she just tried to make the most of an uncomfortable situation. Her show is being cancelled, she's been relegated to fluff pieces and basically has had her journalistic integrity usurped by producers who want filler without substance.
I hate to use the word conspiracy but it does seem like a trend in the media, especially when it comes to celebrities (as much as I hate to refer to Kate as such), to substitute serious journalism for feel good video clips and palatable sound bytes.
We, the mediocre, don't really need to know what's going on. We're too busy with keeping our jobs so we can keep our homes to worry about what's really going on in the world.
We, the mediocre, are happy to munch away on journalism as pablum and fall asleep believing that all is right with the world because Matt Lauer, Katie Couric and Barbara Walters say it's all good.
I suppose it's a pretty pessimistic way to look at the world. But what else can you say about an abusive shrew of a talentless woman still getting softball interviews and forums to spew lies that any research intern can dispute with a simple Google search?
And let's be real...the cookbook is a joke. Her appearances are all about her polarizing personality, sales and ratings. I really hope that, for the sake of her children, Kate wakes up and smells the karma brewing in her beloved Keurig.
Remona Blue...105, I didn't mention anything regarding how these kids are fed at Jon's house. I still believe TFW limits what she puts on each child's plate because she doesn't want them to take too much and not finish what's on their plates. Hence, the waste. Frankly, I don't think she would want to deal with separating and saving what isn't finished on each child's plate if they were to take too much food on their own if bowls or plates of food were being placed on the table to be served family style. I'm not speaking for Jon and how he serves his childrens' food. Hopefully, he allows his kids to eat as much as they want and doesn't concern himself about what they can or can't finish on their plates.
Dollars to donuts he got burned by Kate somehow. Hence why he says hey the haters called this one right. Now he understands. I want to hear the story. We said all along he would turn on Kate.
Here is the segment where Paige was on. It's also when Kate does her demonstration on making muffins. I will give kudos to Kate in making Paige feel special. Paige must be floating on cloud nine!!
BTW, no kudos to Kate for allowing Paige on stage. A really nasty book is coming out and she's going to need her small army to defend her! She never does anything because she's a sweetheart. I think she's disgusting!
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I don't think that Paige, in Canada, will play any part at all in defending Kate in whatever mess Kate gets herself into. Paige is clearly into celebrity worship, and if this is part of her lifelong dream (meeting Kate) then kudos to Steve and Kate. I've seen how much it can mean for a devoted fan to be recognized by a celebrity, called onstage, or walked backstage by production. For many, it's something they will remember for a long time to come.
It's a fine line, though, for a celebrity to decide just how many bones he wants to throw to a particular fan. Ignored, and the fans may become paranoid and angry; too much recognition, and they'll keep wanting more. Celebrities need to draw the line somewhere when fans follow them around. In this case, I would think that this is a once-and-done situation. It's not like this young woman is going to be following Kate around the country asking for favors or backstage passes.

Trying to do what, talk? lol From what the poster who saw the encounter said, it looked like the lady in the green pants wanted to talk to TFW. If you're saying that no way would her team allow that to happen, you're right! I don't think they would allow anyone to stand and gab with her for any length of time because, eee-gads, that might put TFW in a position of having to carry on a conversation with a stranger. And we know from the story about Steve physically moving the elderly gentleman that they won't allow anyone to block people's view of her at a public book fair. Other than that - what do you think the lady was trying to do?
Bullyville @BullyVille 1m Oye Vey, Holy #YentaVille my tweets today have nothing to do with Kate Gosselin or her psychotic, delusional and postmenopausal haters.
The person mentioned a mall in Canada and people jumped to the conclusion that it was Paige.
&&&&&&&&&&&&
I think you missed much of what was said in that account. There was much more to it than that. There were so many signs that it was a young fan in Canada, but the give-away was when the fake Cara posted that she might be going to Cuba. Everyone thought -- if this really is Cara, why Cuba? What would Kate be doing in Cuba? In a few weeks time, Paige tweeted (as Paige) that her parents had gone to Cuba. Concidence? Maybe, maybe not.
Moreover, Paige had a history of setting up a fake account (to harass Ellen), and admitted it.

Katykat said... 102 We have identical triplets in our little community. Natural. No drugs. Can't miss them. Bright, curly red hair like their mom. :) October 1, 2013 at 11:29 AM ****** We have them in DH's family. Two identical, one fraternal. The fraternal triplet is about 6 inches taller than the identical triplets, presumably because "he had his own egg all to himself", as the joshing goes! They are so close and have a lifetime of family and friends in their community. Great young men.
Just watched TFW on Marilyn and yes, she was more relaxed than usual. But, when you spew the same BS over and OVER again, it must come easier. The message is always the same, she is busy with her 8 kids, and in this interview she said things have "picked up" for her in last 6 months, whatever that means, I assume this book tour.
When Paige came on stage, Kate could see her "biggest fan" was overwhelmed and told her to "breathe". TFW sees herself as an iconic figure, and in that moment her ego was on full display as she handed over the signed copy of her cookbook to Paige. At least she gave Paige (who admitted to being obsessed with Kate) her moment.
Yes, not once but twice she said she had a broken foot. Her broken foot (with no evidence of swelling), was in a flat shoe not a high heel.
What was refreshing was that Marilyn didn't mention Jon, nor comment on anything to do with her divorce or lawsuit.
Kate looked more prepared when putting her muffin recipe together, but it is muffins after all.
And to AnnieD....72 who went to see the Marilyn Denis show today, I think Marilyn is laying off the Botox a bit.
The reason Paige needed two tickets is because her boyfriend went with her. I'm so glad she was invited up on the stage. But I hope there's no rivalry between Paige and Emily from Connecticut now. Mamma G' s going to have a lot on her hands if there is.
I hate to admit it, but I do like Bethenny, have since her RHWNY days. I think she's smart and funny. I just saw a promo for her show on Thurs. with Kate and it looks like Bethenny asks some tough questions. I don't think she'll be one to hold back, but we'll see.

In the picture Paige tweeted, I can finally see what some have been saying here. Kate's head DOES look too big for her body! It looks like it was photo shopped on, lol.
OT, but I've always watched every season of DWTS and still enjoy the show even with the result show now on Monday also. But I am a fan of The Voice. So I have to DVR one of the shows on Monday. I also watched America's Got Talent this past summer and usually don't get into it unless there is someone outstanding like Jackie Evancho. Although I really enjoyed the current winner, but I was blown away by Forte. They lost, but Simon Cowel was smart enough to sign them up on his record label and had them record their first album immediately after the show ended. In constrast to TFW's lackluster book sales, they are in the top 20 on Amazon with a November 12 release date and were even number 1 for sales during the weekend. They have their first single on itunes (which is fantastic) and are such a group of nice guys.They have a 13 year old soprano featured on one of their songs and another female runner up from the show performing on another song. It just reminds me of how little to nothing TFW has done for anyone. So Paige got mentioned and her book signed. Big deal.
BTW, no kudos to Kate for allowing Paige on stage. A really nasty book is coming out and she's going to need her small army to defend her! She never does anything because she's a sweetheart. I think she's disgusting!
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I don't think that Paige, in Canada, will play any part at all in defending Kate in whatever mess Kate gets herself into. Paige is clearly into celebrity worship, and if this is part of her lifelong dream (meeting Kate) then kudos to Steve and Kate.
-----------------------------------
In my opinion, Kate and Steve did the right thing. Good for them. This young fan has been wanting to meet Kate for a very long time. Having her on the stage with Kate is something she will remember for her entire life. I don't care if Kate had ulterior motives or not, or needs Paige to defend her if Robert' book comes out. I can't imagine that Paige has any power or influence or will make any difference whatsoever in redeeming Kate if that book is released. Paige got to meet Kate and it was even better than that -- she got recognition on the stage.
Has Paige said that she was able to spend any time with Kate before or after the show?
I'm a little confused. A previous poster said this Paige person previously set up accounts and pretended to be some of the Gosselin children. She also has some sort of twitter account which gave the impression she is not this sweet innocent person.
Why is everyone going on about how great it is that Kate had her up on stage with her especially if she was setting up fake Gosselin accounts. What am I missing?
OK, I can't stand to hear Kate say she has broken her FOOT anymore. She said it twice in the same interview. I have broken my little toe twice and three toes on the same foot at one time. Each time the pain was so excruciating it brought me to my knees. I had to wear a shoe-bootie each time and I limped for at least three weeks. I could not, at any time wear any kind of shoe for six weeks. Getting into bed and trying to sleep with just a sheet over me sent me through the ceiling. How stupid does she think we are? She broke her foot but she's walking around with no limp and wearing shoes? Pulease!
I watched the Marilyn clip. If Kate had a cooking show, I wouldn't be able to listen to it. Those ums would make anyone nuts. It's not just an occasional um, but good grief, it's prevalent throughout every sentence. Doesn't she know that she's doing it? Wouldn't you think that someone would suggest to her that she takes an elementary public speaking course? It's pitiful! I had forgotten how really bad it is.
Having just experienced being a member of the audience at the Marilyn Denis Show, I've learned that the audience reaction is all very orchestrated. They have you practice cheering; tell you when to provide a standing ovation, etc. No "natural" reactions permitted ( i.e. crickets) when the guests enter the studio. :) 123
Annie thanks for this information! I also want to thank you and Layla for your first hand reports.
On the CWS, when Kendra, did a taco dinner, and put the food on the coffee table thing, when the 8, started to put food in the taco shell, they did infact, fight over the food, one even stepped on the others plate, and got food all over the floor. That people was Kendra's mistake. 130
Call me cynical but I think that Kendra was set up. She's not a fool.
Suzee (147) What Green Pants was trying to do at the BBF? She was obviously a fan. She was absolutely giddy to be near TFW, and kept coming back and trying to approach her. From her facial expression, and the way she was clutching the cookbook to her chest--she was just beside herself. She was definitely overzealous, and after a couple stops back Steve would intercept her before she could get to TFW's table, but he would chat her up and smile. He did not act like Green Pants was doing of saying anything alarming. Just an obsessed fan who couldn't tear herself away. And yes, from Admin's encounter where Steve grabbed her arm, and from the BBF when he physically moved the elderly man, we know he has no problem being physical with people. He would have physically removed Green Pants if he thought she was of any concern.
What is with this Kate 3-5 year old talk she does, is she trying to be cute, cause it makes her sound stupid, not cute. Like: she posted on twitter a while ago, my ouchy foot, who talks like that! or using yum after, stuff she has cooked. I take her yums as: she is trying to convince herself, what she made tastes good. Even her fans, are starting to talk like her. I also love how Kate says: she eats what the kids eat in control portions? What? Did she not put in her own cookbook, her own daily diet, and that even on twitter she had posted several times over the past 4 years, that she does not eat what she cooks for the kids, maybe once in a while she will have a little bit or one piece of whatever they are eating. What a liar. I bet Kate probably has hardly tasted half or most of what she has cooked for those kids. And this organic non-sense she keeps saying is just what it is, non-sense. She eats organic, kids eat whatever she slops into a pot. If most of the recipes are the family favorites it figures on why so much of it is from a can, not fresh organic.
Uuummmm,it's interesting how some of you are overjoyed that Paige met her idol. WTH! I wouldn't want my daughter to get near a self proclaimed child/animal abuser. Paige has every right to idolize a celebrity but at least pick someone who is not such a horrible influence ! You don't want her to grow up to be just like her idol???
Usually I don't defend myself when someone disagrees but I'm in a mood. My tooth broke and I have to see a surgeon to fix the problem . That sucks!
Paige meeting Kate is not a good thing, but you might feel differently and that's your opinion!

KatyKat..thank you for the story and the beautiful pictures of the triplets. They are adorable! I especially love the second picture of the babies where they have such funny faces. It put a huge smile on my face.

Was Steve intercepting Green Pants so that she couldn't get her book signed?
Layla, I agree with your observation of Ms Green Pants being an excited fan who just wanted to chat with the famous celeb (cough, cough). I was responding to jus4u and wondered what she was referring to when she said that one here or w/TFW's team would let her "do what you were trying to do at the book fair. no no"
Well, have to say, Kates Canadian fans are more forth coming in posting pics of themselves with Kate. There are at least 4 pics in the last 15 min, on twitter, and most are all young fans. And one pic of Kate sitting behind a table and you can see her feet, I see no bandaide on either foot, just pale-pink flats. If it were broke she would have a very large bandage or case on. And neither foot looks swollen.
So there we have, TFW and her obsessed fan. pic.twitter.com/68adpoaw85
Paige looks rather sweet and natural, whereas KG, just odd. Head too large for skinny body, work done to face definitely giving her a frozen look, and sorry, puffy little sleeve way to young for her. Looks like she decided to let the extensions fly wild while making muffins, yuck. Sorry Canada, guess she's yours today.
There is still a lot we don't know about this story and may never know. The deal about Jon paying no child support is troubling. Something about that just doesn't pass the smell test. So much of what we are fed by these people hasn't passed the smell test. Signing off for a time. Best wishes to all. The Gosselin mess as a whole is just too disturbing and might take a team of psychiatrists to figure it out. This lawsuit will get ugly. The kids will pay for all of it. Sad, really sad.
Some people say postmenopausal like its a bad thing! The voices in my head tell me I am not psychotic or delusional. I don't care enough about TFMJG to even strongly dislike her. She is just boring, same old same old. I have green crocs!
This photo shows Kate wearing flip flops. The two small toes are taped together and there is bruising and slight swelling. She may have a broken toe, but I doubt there is a break in the main part of the foot.
Why is everyone going on about how great it is that Kate had her up on stage with her especially if she was setting up fake Gosselin accounts.
----- -----
The only account I knew about was the fake Cara tumblr account which was taken down immediately when people called attention to the discrepancies posted there. If there were other accounts, such as FB and Twitter in which she pretended to be other Gosselin kids, I'm not aware of it. She and another fan did set up something on FB to harass Ellen, and I think that time she admitted it (and apologized for it?).
To snub Paige at a show, not acknowledge her and brushing her off just wouldn't have been right. Kate knows that meeting her has been Paige's dream for such a long time. She got to meet her, finally, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I'm just wondering if she's expecting more, like chatting with Kate for an extended period of time, or having a jammie party with her. That's why, with a fan who is obsessed as Paige, someone like Kate has to be really careful.
Although I really enjoyed the current winner, but I was blown away by Forte. They lost, but Simon Cowel was smart enough to sign them up on his record label and had them record their first album immediately after the show ended.
----- -----
They were absolutely outstanding. They were my favorites from the beginning. When they sang "Unchained Melody," I just sat there with my mouth open. When they were eliminated, did you see Mel B mouth "Oh, my god." I enjoyed the winner...he was very talented, but I wasn't as blown away from him as I was with Forte. I don't know when I've heard three such powerful voices together. Thanks for the info about the album. I will buy it.
I just saw Kate in Indigo in Toronto, wow - I never expected this turn up for her. At least 40-50 people where lining up and a bunch of people hung around. Steve was obviously for her security (lol) nearby. He was scanning the public the entire time. Kate seemed friendly enough and took pics with people.
I will sent the admin the pictures. I took It took me a while to find the chapters, as mentioned on the book tour schedule - there is no chapters in Yorkdale mall, it was in Indigo though.
Looks to me like Kate's Canadian tour is turning out to be the "Teens and Tweens Tour" from what I see of the tweeted pics from the tonight's book signing.
And one pic of Kate sitting behind a table and you can see her feet, I see no bandaide on either foot, just pale-pink flats. If it were broke she would have a very large bandage or case on. And neither foot looks swollen.
-------------
-------------
I believe it was a broken toe, or toes, because in one of the photos, you can see that they are taped together. In the photo showing her feet in pink flats, you can't see her toes. She very well could have broken them and have them taped together,
On Sept. 27th, Today's show, Kate has a small white, probably gauze bandage, and wearing heels. Most likely a blister got worst therefore the need for flats and create a better story; "I broke my foot". Come on Kate your a nurse LOL. A broken foot one would be in a some kind of cast. Liar Liar pants on fire!
While I'm glad that Paige finally got to meet her idol, I think it was more of an ego boost for Kate than coming from the heart. Initially I thought it was gracious of her to invite Paige up on stage, but after hearing Kate make the "Breath, breath." comment, I knew it wasn't out of concern for Paige but more to pump her own ego up. I can almost hear Kate's inner voice saying "Paige is so lucky to have met me. It's such an honor for her."
Gotta wonder if TFW made herself wait until Mady announced for the 4th time that she needed to see a doctor about her foot. We don't have time for a cast, do we, so we'll just tape the toes.
Wow, in the picture of TFW and Paige behind the counter, I can see what a sloppy mess she made pouring the batter into the tins. Has she never used a spoon or a mini ice cream scoop to ladle batter into tins? Did she just pour batter out of that huge bowl? If so, wow.
Judging by the picture I do think that TFW probably either jammed or broke a toe however having broken a toe myself once I don't see how she's been able to put a shoe on this soon (since it supposedly just happened). My poor little piggies did not want to be confined. Now don't laugh, but I actually wore my Crocs because there was plenty of room in the toe box and thus didn't put any pressure on my toes.
On Marilyn's show, Kate said she submerses herself in whatever she is doing. Shouldn't that be immerse? Dunce. And if people are constantly commenting on her looks and inferring she must not be eating her recipes, she has to be so thin it warrants a comment like that. To me, that is concerning, not complimentary. If Kelly Ripa walked out on stage, and she is thin and in shape, I doubt she would get the same comment. That's because she is healthy-thin. Kate is unhealthy-thin.

There is still a lot we don't know about this story and may never know. The deal about Jon paying no child support is troubling. Something about that just doesn't pass the smell test. So much of what we are fed by these people hasn't passed the smell test. ***** This has been discussed in depth here. Jon and Kate have apparently agreed to split physical custody so they each have approx. 50% time with the children. I would hazard to say that their income is either close to the same, or Kate may still actually be making more than Jon, based on her various deals. DWTS one year; CWS another year; blogging jobs, etc. If they have about the same amount of physical custody, and if they are currently earning about the same (or Kate even more), then it's quite normal that neither one would pay child support.
Just because Jon is the father, does not automatically mean if he's not paying child support, there is something fishy going on. It's based on facts and figures. Percentage of time spent with each parent; income of each parent. Plug that into a computer program and see what it spits out.
Do you think Kate would voluntarily give up taking every last penny from Jon if the child support calculator said he should pay a certain amount each month? Because I don't.

"This is really how I cook, it may be sloppy and horrible but Oh well."
- Kate Gossellin
The above is from RH's site.
**********************************************************************
I think she was nervous as hell. She cannot "perform" in front of an audience. She has nada, unless she's one on one and her arrogance shines through or she has a "sidekick" to bash ie-Jon, kids, Jody, Emeril, roof jewelry guys...What we saw on J&K was the "authentic" tfw-pompous, selfish, center of attention, bully, bullheaded etc..THAT IS HER.
Yelling that the broiler is on?? Are they toddlers crawling around on the floor in her precious kitchen? I would hope they have the maturity and common sense to NOT place their hands on the stove door just by being near it? Can you not feel the heat? Again, infantilizing them-see? see? whatever would they do without me??!!
I've been to Pampered Chef home parties that were 100xs more entertaining and informative. The reps were knowledgeable, talkative, and had a passion for the product and cooking.
I'll give her credit this ONE time-at least she didn't roll her eyes and smirk when asked the Jon question. See? I found ONE nice thing to say about her!
Leslie- Where is the clip that everyone is commenting on about the kids acting terribly when Katie was there. Isn't Kate gone to be on Bethenny show on Thursday?
Nutritional this and healthy that. Good grief, does it ever occur to her that people might not blindly trust her and look this stuff up? Following is the breakdown for her "healthy" bean bake. At 8 servings, that would work out to slightly more than half a cup per child. Obviously serving sizes would be less if she actually ate what she served the kids.

I'm a bit confused. If BB was thanking her for her book and note she obviously knew he was there. Why would you embarrass yourself by saying you didn't even know he was there? That tweet made absolutely no sense. Or is it me, am I missing something here?
******
Because Kate lies when she doesn't have to. She could have just said, "sorry we didn't meet!", but she feels she has to embellish with an implausible excuse, like "I didn't know you were there".
She's a pathological liar. Yes, you know it's implausible and makes zero sense and is virtually not plausible, but that doesn't stop Kate from lying.
So head scratching is an exercise in futility. It's like asking a leopard to change its spots, or a zebra to change its stripes.
The only was on God's green earth that this lying could change is if Kate seeks professional help, and she'll never do that because she's perfect in her own eyes.
She claims she doesn't know what is going on with Jon which is a LIE because anyone as controlling as she is would certainly be aware of his every move. I bet she's had Steve investigate his finances, who he hangs with, etc. She wants to bring him down and she needs info to do that. That's why when asked about Jon she is dismissive and says he lives his own life and I do not concern myself with what his choices are. Totally BS.
ITA she knew BB was there but chose to ignore him. She is unfriendly and is only concerned with attention on herself. Everyone else is insignificant when Kate Gosselin is in the room.

Although I do hope Kate is kind to her, I can't help but remember the false accounts she made pretending to be one or more of the Gosselin kids, the Facebook page that bashed Ellen, her other Twitter account which is far from being the sweet young thing she appears to be. Like her heroine, it seems Paige needs some mental health intervention.
She doesn't "tolerate" aversions? If they are good eaters like she constantly says why can't she "tolerate" aversions? If they like a few kinds of green vegetables serve them that and let them try something new on their own-you know, by NOT putting it on their plate yourself! You're giving tips on how to handle picky eaters, but in the same breath you claim to not have any picky eaters. Please tell us your REAL tips! I'm cringing thinking about the scenario, she couldn't even "tolerate" one of them wanting effing DRY cereal!
Amateur-ish. The best word to describe these videos. Painfully, embarrassingly, ridiculously AMATEUR-ISH. Kate would like that word. She likes all words with ISH tacked onto the end. As for her cookbook (and I use the term loosely), really? Meatloaf? Sloppy Joes? Pasta Salad? This sounds like a book a mom might give her 13-year-old daughter who is just beginning to cook. I am laughing however, at the ewes clamoring over each other to praise their idol, their little hooves clattering on each others heads to be the first to try Kate's childish and mundane recipes.
Her tweet to Brian Boitano? Simply classic Kate. This is her way of letting him (and her twitter-ewes) know that a minor star of his small stature and influence doesn't even register on her radar screens.
Paige? Sounds like she has a few other young ones traveling to Toronto who will be competing for a little lovin' from Kate. Kate will do one of two things: she will either perform as usual, giving the minimum effort and attention to Paige (with Steve in close proximity to control the panic that may ensue) or she will go overboard, having read all of the comments here on this blog.
And the clackety, bleating ewes wonder why we dislike her so. Too funny.
Sure does, and how about Eggs Benedict with a nice thick slice of Canadian bacon? So good.
*****
I'll see your Eggs Benedict and raise you Eggs Chesapeake! That's right, a poached egg's goo and hollandaise sauce running down over a jumbo lump crab cake, sitting on a toasted English muffin.
Heaven.
Oh, that reminds me, must remind DH to stop at the farmers market and pick up a pound of jumbo lump crab after work today...
If anyone has any doubt that the Gosselin children need people to know the truth about their childhoods, read this short article and read the comments. They will break your heart but they will also give you resolve.
http://thenarcissistinyourlife.com/narcissistic-mothers-conceal-severe-abuse-of-their-children/
Her fans are truly delusional if they think WOS is making enough money each month to pay the bills and not dipping into the kids' accounts.
********
I think Kate dips into the kids accounts for their clothing, medical etc. But, she's sitting on piles of money, having made millions.
3 cars is a bit much for 1 person and I think what would make it $$ is paying PA insurance prices. I paid double what I pay now, when I lived in PA. I mean, it was expensive!!
We have 3 cars. The third is our "just for fun" 2-seat convertible 6-speed, and I don't delude myself into thinking we have the "Zippy" car because it gets great gas mileage.
It's a luxury, and I own that.
On 104.5 FM interview just now (you can listen online), K8 was asked if it might be easier to serve her kids food from McDonalds's vs all the cooking hoopla. Her dismissive answer? "My kids will NOT eat that stuff!"
The radio hosts are soft-balling her ("Gotta say, we love your accent!"), but maybe it'll get a little grittier when they return after station break to do some baking...
Oh nooooooo!

Re: KC show again: although Hannah pointed to Collin & Alexis, she was fighting with Leah and also was the child who spat during the games, and had a sour face while her mom was yelling at their team. Hannah has always had a mean manipulative streak ( one example- play-doh episode with Clay) Just like Mom.
Oh, and did anyone notice that KC introduced Kate as Kate 'Gosling'- if I heard right?
I wonder, they say that eating disorders can develope in people who feel they have no control in their regular lives but they can control one aspect and that is how much food they eat.
Could Kate, who is a control freak, be feeling things in her life are out of control so she is controlling how much or how little she eats?
*****
LisaNH, this is my opinion, too. I'm no mental health expert, but the times when I've dieted/exercised to the extreme, it's been in response to major life stresses, like divorce and death of a parent.
I will admit to feeling some modicum of compassion for Kate, because raising 8 kids is daunting. On the other hand, Kate refuses to help herself by scaling down her lifestyle on many levels, and realizing that she is NOT ALONE. Jon is their father and he is a wonderful dad who is also raising their children.
This self-imposed martyrdom is just that, self-imposed. She CHOOSES this for her life, so while I feel compassion for her situation, and CLEARLY SEE she is suffering vis a vis her skeletal and ruddy appearance, I know that you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.
Although I do hope Kate is kind to her, I can't help but remember the false accounts she made pretending to be one or more of the Gosselin kids, the Facebook page that bashed Ellen, her other Twitter account which is far from being the sweet young thing she appears to be.

Jane, I was just about to post that. I wonder if Kate ever found out about those fake accounts, particularly the one where she allegedly pretended to be Cara, and screwed up the details.
Leslie
Admin, do you mind posting your family's pasta salad? Also I think (not sure) it was Tucker...that also mentioned she had a great receipe. Mind sharing also. Thanks so much.
Again, infantilizing them-see? see? whatever would they do without me??!!
She also infantizes them by chopping up 'vegies' finely so that they don't know they're there. Uh, the kids are 9 & 13, and not entirely stupid.
That's what you do with a 2 year old.
Ages 9 & 13 are too old to be playing stupid games like that with them.
Show them some respect, for once.
And STOP serving them! Talk about control freak!
Good grief! They are quite capable of serving themselves.
Line up the food on the island, if you must. But serve it buffet style where they help themselves.
Personally I think the reason she doesn't just put the food on the table and let them help themselves is that she isn't *at* the table. Hard to control what they're doing when you're not there, eh?
She stays in the kitchen, or maybe retreats to her room, far far away from those chaotic children.
They do all the clean-up, so once the food is served she's done with her part of the job. She's outta there.

She kidding/not kidding. She'd love it if they'd actually do it.
----------------------------
I don't think she's kidding. She and Kate are cut from the same cloth. Both love attention; love being at the top; love being adored and held up to high esteem; love being important. Milo thrives on it and she'd like nothing better than Paige showing up holding a sign that recognizes Milo's position as Chief Ewe. It wouldn't surprise me if she actually seething about Paige finally meeting Kate. Paige just might become the favored one and Milo couldn't stand it.
This whole sheeple hierarchy is fascinating from a sociological perspective.
Why didn't she just get on a plane and make the two-hour trip to Baltimore to meet Kate? Something is very off about that entire situation.

Excuse me? Weren't they just spotted/outed at a MickeyD's a few weeks ago? Sounds like they eat that stuff just fine. What an insufferable snob, and coming from a woman whose recipes use an awful lot of canned foods. Own it. Or perhaps she really forgets everything in what passes for a brain.

Under normal circumstances, this would be fine. However, Paige's obsession isn't normal and to give her a gift or recognize her in some way might not be the best idea. This is how fans get the idea that they are the favorites, the select few, their obsession grows, they stalk and pester, and if they are ignored, that's when you need to hide the bunny. A celebrity doesn't encourage idol worship. No good can come out of it.

Admin, do you mind posting your family's pasta salad? Also I think (not sure) it was Tucker...that also mentioned she had a great receipe. Mind sharing also. Thanks so much.
********
Cheese Tortellini Pasta Salad
In a large bowl, combine:
-1 lb tortellini (fresh or frozen), cooked per package directions and drained
-4-5 (or more if you like!) broccoli florets, blanched in boiling, lightly salted water for 2-3 minutes, then shocked in an ice bath to lock in color and stop cooking. Chop broccoli into smaller florets.
-4-5 (or more if you want!) hearts of palm, chopped
- 1- 8 ounce can hearts or bottoms of artichoke in water (not oil packed), drained and chopped
-1-1 1/2 cups cubed summer sausage
-1/2 cup chopped olives (manzanilla, picholine, kalamata etc.)
-8 oz. cubed cheese (cheddar, feta, havarti etc.)
Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste
3/4 cup olive oil
In a bowl, place all ingredients except olive oil. Whisk to incorporate. Slowly drizzle olive oil in, whisking continually to combine and emulsify. Pour about 1/2 of the dressing over the pasta salad, toss gently and store, covered in the refrigerator for at least 1/2 hour.
Pour remaining dressing over pasta salad and toss just before serving.
And STOP serving them! Talk about control freak!
Good grief! They are quite capable of serving themselves.
Line up the food on the island, if you must. But serve it buffet style where they help themselves.
*******
Thank you!
It's understandable that serving family style at the table involves more time, effort and dishes, but making them line up cafeteria style does ZERO for helping the childrens' etiquette and self sufficiency. It does, however, go a long way in controlling their food intake and individual choices.
I just imagine these kids eating at a friend's house one day, sittin there, stymied by everyone else at the table passing plates and bowls and serving their own portions and making their own choices.
I sincerely hope that Kate isn't still cutting their food, and I really do wonder if the children are allowed to get up and get seconds by themselves.

BTW - I never watch this show....saw Paige in the audience. Funny, it looks like Kate is waiting on a bench in the lobby. Hahaha!
Currently, Robert Herjavec from Shark Tank (Dragon's Den in Canada), and my favourite Bryan Baeumler and his wife. Kate must be so jealous, as Bryan's wife is probably the same age as her, and she is stunning!

Layla, this is all YOUR FAULT!!!!!!!!
The dh asked this am what I was humming. I have been humming ” What Would Brian Boitano Do?” For TWO DAYS! If not for you mentioning he was a super hero, I would never have looked up the South Park song clip on YouTube. And now I can't get the song out of my head!
My dh was quite perplexed when I told him it was Layla s fault.
It's understandable that serving family style at the table involves more time, effort and dishes,
Yes but with 8 perfectly healthy children, it should only take a very few minutes to set everything on the table.
How long does it take to set out a basket of crackers and a bowl of grapes, anyway??
We've seen TFW's table....the glasses already poured to exactly 1/2 full, ready to drink. Like the kids are too stupid to pour their own drinks.
I'd be offended if I came to sit at the table and someone had already portioned out my food and poured my glass. All I had to do was sit down and eat it. How offensive that whoever won't take the time to sit down and eat with me.
Takes away the pleasure of dining together.....
Question for you "lawish" people ;-)
Kate mentioned that she can not talk about the lawsuit because "it's in litigation".
Is it? Does litigation begin with the filing of the suit and responses, or does it begin at trial?
Thank you!
Mel said....Personally I think the reason she doesn't just put the food on the table and let them help themselves is that she isn't *at* the table. Hard to control what they're doing when you're not there, eh?
______________________________________________
I think the reason she doesn't let them serve themselves family style is because they fight and whine. Its the old so and so took more than me stuff. Family dinners is a time to teach a child manners and respect and sharing. Kate doesn't parent. She even said in an interview that she doesn't get involved in their fights, they have to work it out themselves. Children fight and whine. Its part of growing up. Its up to the parent to sort the issues out and have the children come to a resolution. So if the parent isn't at the table to keep an eye on and immediately correct problems, the issues will continue. Kate doesn't want to deal with reality. And having children is reality. Eating somewhere else in The Manor is her reality.
Thank you for the link about NPD mothers. It reads like Kate to a "T".
Especially the part about needing to appear as the consummate mother to the outside world. Kate finds it necessary to outright lie about her kids eating junk food of any kind.
She and the kids were seen at McDonalds just about a week ago. We know the kids LOVE Dunkin Donuts, too.
"My kids ask me, Mommy, what are the orange triangle things?"
Really? Seriously?
Like the children will get Scurvy if they eat a Dorito.
Puleez.

@Kateplusmy8 are u awake yet?
1 hr ago from Twitter for iPhone
Although I do hope Kate is kind to her, I can't help but remember the false accounts she made pretending to be one or more of the Gosselin kids, the Facebook page that bashed Ellen, her other Twitter account which is far from being the sweet young thing she appears to be. Like her heroine, it seems Paige needs some mental health intervention.
October 1, 2013 at 5:20 AM
Why cast aspersions on this young lady? You have no proof that she created fake twitter accounts using the names of the Gosselin children. The person mentioned a mall in Canada and people jumped to the conclusion that it was Paige. It is a big country. She has been harassed by the worse of the nonfans. She shouldn't have false accusations against her. We're better than that.
May name is Watched the Marilyn show......
First, there was an interview part, where the host and guest sat facing each other. Marilyn held the book up. Marilyn said she heard on a radio interview this morning that K was favoring a foot. K was wearing flat black shoes, she said to watch out for corners of kitchen islands. Talk about two daughters asking if they would have the recipes for their kids, that she never measured and had to start writing down the measurements for the book. Marilyn asked if there was one recipe all the kids loved and K said because there was so many of them, there was not one all liked, but that all their favorites were in the book except the Chicken/eggplant dish (cant remember the name and that was K's favorite). Marilyn was trying to compliment how K looked by asking if she ate what was in the book. She said yes, but portion control. The next segment was a demonstration. M and K were at a counter with a mixer, ingredients in several separate bowls and then the final product, some large muffins. Before they started Kate called Paige up from the audience and presented her with the copy M was holding. It was signed by all K and the kids. K explained P was a fan. P spoke of being a fan since 2008 then contacting K ( I guess via twitter) since 2011 and how huge a fan she was etc. She was invited to stay at the counter for the demonstration and took a few seconds to decide if she wanted to stay or sit. She stood at the other side of the counter and watched. M commented on her pretty dress. K poured all the ingredients in one by one explaining what each was and then turned on the mixer. K made a joke for P to watch out for splatters. It was a healthy muffin. She uses maple syrup and she and M spoke of how that's well known in Canada. The muffins are breakfast to go for the twins. The mashed banana can be frozen, muffins can be frozen in individual zip bags and put into a container. K was asked how many freezers and fridges she owned. K answered and then corrected herself. 3 of each was the final. K poured the batter into the muffin sheet, from a very large, wide bowl, so the muffin tins sort of over flowed and looked very messy when the camera zoomed up, but that could not be helped. M made a joke of her ever getting time to have a shower. M demonstrated how a mom showers quickly. K spoke of moms making time for themselves, stepping back and reading a couple of chapters in their book. All in all it was a regular,calm, normal, interview of someone who wrote a book and gave a demonstration. M said the recipe was on the website and everyone in the audience was getting a signed copy of the book.

If anyone has any doubt that the Gosselin children need people to know the truth about their childhoods, read this short article and read the comments. They will break your heart but they will also give you resolve.
http://thenarcissistinyourlife.com/narcissistic-mothers-conceal-severe-abuse-of-their-children/
Wow, that site is a great find. Sounds like she could be writing about you-know-who.
oh snap....Marilyn Denis said you are looking good, but I don't think you are eating anything in this book...
Oh and she broke her foot "on the corner of the kitchen island".
Oh, sure......
No divorce, Jon talk....but...BREAKING NEWS.... She is the mom of 8 Kids!!
About the foot - She was wearing heels last week in the first half of her "media" tour. She didn't go home in between. It was all of a sudden, she is wearing flats.
I call BS on your story Kate.
I am trying to stop reading about TFW, thinking about her gets me upset and feeling sorry about Jon and the children. I so wish she would seek help and listen to the advice of an expert. This is all beyond sad at this point.
With each failure, each crash and burn, each story worthy of tabloid fodder she is taking away more and more from those children.
I think this is the last note I'll post. I've enjoyed reading here the last several weeks.
Appears there is no nastiness here, just venting and conversation.
I've learned some things about book publishing.....and hard boiled eggs...heehee
She absolutely had to know Brian Boitano was there. Didn't she have a schedule concerning the demo stage? No one - in any phone conversation ever mentioned this to TFW, "...And you'll be on before Brian..." something of that ilk?!
Did she ever look at the Baltimore Book Fest website?
Is she really this self involved?
Wouldn't anyone check to see..."I wonder who else will be in the "Food for Thought Stage."
And yes absolutely as Mel said earlier, any performer, artist at a street fair, public speaker is aware of the company, the peers surrounding them.
I am beginning to believe she has lost the ability to be sincere. That even when there is no reason to do so she twists the truth.
And a "family" cookbook whose title has "love" in the mix, and many recipes named after the children, why no credit or stories about her own mother or siblings? Not one. Family recipes jumped from Grandma to TFW.
My heart breaks for these children. And I don't know why but most especially, Cara and Collin.
I wish the twitter war would stop, she is doing enough damage on her own at this point.
One final thought, her comment about what a sloppy cook she is. I remember a clip were she issued a very serious warning to any child who might spill a single grain of sugar on the floor....(then lines the counter top with slippery trash bags)
I wish you all well.

Thank you! I just watched it. I wanted to comment about the scene when Katie C and TFW are drinking wine at the end and are commenting about the noise level from the kids. First off, does TFW ever have anything positive about her kids? Ever? In so many interviews, she's always seen complaining about the chaos, while rolling her eyes. She's had multiples for nine plus years. You would think she'd be used to it. Michelle Duggar has 19 children and you don't see her having a melt down and wanting pitty. She's proud of her kids. Katie C's commented that she needed to run a right ship or there would be chaos doesn't make sense, since according to them, everyday at the Gosselin's house is pandemonium anyway. So which is it?
The clip at the end as TFW sipped wine showed me what she would rather be doing with her life. Wining and dining, not caring and cooking for 8 "wild" kids.
I am convinced now more than ever that Kate most assuredly reads here. The topic of late was concerning if Paige would be disappointed if Kate didn't acknowledge her. Well evidently she did one better and had her up on the stage at the show this morning. SHE DOES READ HERE!!!
She called paige onto the stage - gave her a book autographed by her and the kids. She is "super obsessed" with Kate.
Marilyn told Paige to stay up on stage with kate while she makes her "Super Healthy Breakfast Muffins".
Um, um, um, um....put nutrition in....organic ingredients...blah, blah, blah. She never finishes a sentence I've noticed. So much for the gift of gab.
Marilyn asked her how many freezers she has. She said 3 FULL, and 2 FULL refrigerators, then said I have 3 freezers, and 3 refrigerators.
Very MEDIOCRE appearance. She only had a couple of minutes to complete her recipe - lots of dead air while she was waiting for the muffin mixture to combine. It was Marilyn who kept everything going.
And she just slopped the muffin mixture into the tins - looked very unprofessional.
But kudos to her for recognizing Paige.
One more thing - the entire audience received an autographed copy of her book. Not really a big deal, because the area is small, so maybe 50?
She also didn't look very enthused to be there. Very lethargic IMO.
Ok, off to the grocery store for me!
I am happy for Paige. Kate finally did something right.

One of my friends posted this on another site:
Paige got to meet her this morning on Marilyn Denis and the ubers are gushing over on twitter how lucky she is and what a wonderful "role model" for Paige. Someone needs to whack all those women with a wooden spoon.
This article describes the situation in the Gosselin household:
"They will use their children as slaves. They will delegate all household chores to the children as early as possible. They will insist that they pay for their own personal items and clothing as early as possible. Older children will become responsible for younger children. "
Article:
http://psychcentral.com/lib/narcissistic-mothers/0002959
"These mothers steal their kids’ childhoods, identities and future healthy relationships. "
Yup. Kate feels like her childrens' childhoods are for her to use, not for them to experience individually. Very little is done to indulge individual interests and activities. Mady and Cara continue to be able to pursue their interests, I believe because it would look bad to stop. They are involved in school activities and it would be very noticeable if they stopped.
The 6-pack, on the other hand, never started anything outside of the home, and I think that was strategic on Kate's part. They were the real moneymakers of the family and to have them be involved in other time consuming, film usurping activities would not be tolerated.
http://gosselinbook.blogspot.com/
New post up.
I believe TFW serves them from the counter so she can control the kids portions. She doesn't want any waste, so she'd rather have them finish what is on their plates and ask for more than to not finish their food. I also wonder if she serves them bread with their meals, as this is a common filler instead of seconds. I think with these kids being able to help themselves would be a disaster as some kids would be left without much or anything to eat by the time bowls would be passed around. When children are not accustomed to helping themselves and food is limited, this is what happens. Certain ones will stuff themselves and others will be left with nothing if their mother doesn't have enough prepared for their individual and growing appetites.
Maybe the fan in green pants at the BBF was Milo.
I was looking over the notes I jotted down at the BBF, and I wrote down "cooking for large family" and just after that had written "divorced for 4 years". When I was writing it up later, I was going by the notes I had written (which were based on what I could hear), and wrote the "large family" as the question and the "divorced" comment. I apologize for that--I was writing notes to remember what I heard, and they didn't go together. I did not mean to mislead anyone about that one--they were one right after the other, and I thought that was her answer. I didn't hear the guy ask about Jon's favorite meal at all. It was very hard to hear, especially since I was standing way in the back.
Anyway, watching the videos, it's obvious there was a question there I didn't hear, and therefore didn't add to my notes. Crappy acoustics and disjointed note-taking do not go well together, and I apologize if I misled anyone.
Did my Cheese Tortellini Pasta Salad recipe go through? Someone upthread had asked for it. Maybe I missed it.
Just got back from.....the Marilyn Denis show! The studio is only a few blocks from my office so curiosity got the better of me and I went. In a word....surreal! It's a small studio so the audience is small also. As a result it was easy to spot Paige from her Twitter picture....she's quite tall...probably 5'8 or so. Here's the really interesting part....prior to the show, Steve coolly sauntered into the audience holding area and walked straight over to Paige, shook her hand and they had a quick conversation So Steve had obviously done his homework too and knew what she looked like.. Onward to the studio...so thrilled to find out that Robert Herjavec from Shark Tank/ Dragon's Den was one of the first guests. He has the most amazing blue eyes....and such a sharp dresser! Fast forward to Kate's segment which was the last 10 minutes or so of the show. Ironically, when she sat down, she was looking directly at me. I had to smile and nod (and "bite my tongue") given where I was sitting. She's not as tall as she appears in most pictures. She was wearing flats because she apparently broke her foot in an encounter with the island in her kitchen. She is a tad too thin for her frame and doesn't have the glow that she used to have. She was fairly relaxed during the interview. The show's set is quite nice and intimate which probably helped. Kate had nothing new to say however. She then did a two-minute demo on muffin preparation but wait! Before she started the demo, she said that she had a surprise. The surprise? She had an autographed copy of her book to present to Paige who was brought up to the stage to meet her "idol". Paige then got to stand beside Kate during the demo.The stars and the planets are all aligned in Paige's universe! So Kate came through for her No. 1 fan. On a positive note, Paige was very well behaved. Most ironic of all...everyone in the audience received an autographed copy of Kate's Cooked Book.....including me! Aargh! Any takers?

Wow! Thanks for the report.
I'm very happy that Paige got to meet Kate and had special attention given to her. She jumped through a lot of hoops to get there and deserved to get to meet Kate in person.
AnnieD,
So, Steve was playing "wing man" there, too, huh? This is the third time someone from this blog has seen them, and it has always been Steve who is the hands-on mingler. With TFW it's all just for show. If she doesn't get some positive publicity out of it, then she doesn't do it.
These free books are obviously being unloaded onto these talk shows to boost the numbers of so-called sales for TFW.
Did you see anything after the show? Did TFW interact with any of the audience? Did Steve?
Broken foot??? I think that's one of her more outrageous statements. She probably stubbed her toe. She was wearing flats but a broken foot would require a cast - I didn't see one and she walked onto the set without favouring the "broken foot".

I'm curious if Kate badmouthed Jon again or talked about him at all on the show today?
Lawsuit discussion?

Not necessarily. A broken toe can get "buddy taped" and with flats or a cast shoe, can heal without plaster.
This is typically how stress fractures are treated in the tarsals and metatarsals.
Small world, isn't it? :) Kate and Paige and one of us...in the same room.
Kate's segment closed the show but there was no time for mingling with the audience as the show went right into pre-taping for tomorrow and the guest was Suzanne Somers! She was delightful... friendly and well-spoken. I expect that Kate had "left the building" by the time the audience was free to go. I saw no sign of them as I left.
She must have been mad about something and kicked the island. That's the only way I can think of that your island could cause you to break your foot.
I will give Kate brownie points for how she handled Paige. I am sure she made Paige's year and I think it's one of the first times I've heard about a really good fan interaction on Kate's part.
She did not break her foot on the kitchen island - she was wearing heels for her other appearances - the photos from her 1st book signing clearly show her heels. It was the next day - really can't even remember the taping she was going to - Katie perhaps? There were pics of her outside the building, and she was wearing flats.
Maybe she got wind of Jon's appearance on The View? I don't know about all of you, but I don't think there are many kitchen islands to break your foot on in many New York hotels.
You are so full of crap Kate!
Thanks for the report from the set! Glad that Paige can now be awarded the #1 fan title! If Milo really loved TFMJG, she would have been in Baltimore, or at a book signing, or somewhere.
The reason Steve knew who Paige was is because Paige was non stop tweeting about her trip to the studio, the cab ride, waiting in line and so on. Kate tweeted her that she just then got back on twitter and asked her what she was wearing and Paige told her a red dress. That's how Steve knew who she was.
Congratulations to Paige for being asked to come on stage with Kate. Very, very kind of Kate to do that. I have to give her kudos on that one.
I've still got to wonder who pays Steve now as her road manager and assistant. He certainly can't be commanding the high fee TLC was paying him. Perhaps he works for Kate gratis...or at least at a reduced rate if she's paying (and giving him occasional room and board above the garage)? Not sure if he's still written into any agreements for these appearances, since I have no idea who is footing the bill. It's very strange, if you ask me.
I wonder how soon she'll pen another book to get more of these trips and attention, because I still say she's not going to get another tv gig.
In the video prior to the tour, where TFW is having a conversation with the paparazzi her toes are taped.
The video where she lingers (rather than getting in the car and closing the door). Where she states she pays no attention to what Jon does, and she shows no reaction in hearing about the gun incident....which brings in to question the words, "profoundly concerned" being thrown around.

TFW has been home in between appearances. I believe she tweeted from home after one of the NY or NJ signing. She probably did kick the island. She could have tripped over it though. It's just like her to say broken foot instead of broken toe though

@BullyVille and the "adults" who we're referring to know exactly who they are. It's not EVERY adult we've helped in the past.
As for Kate's broken "foot" she was home on Sept 26 after her TV appearances. Could have broken her toe then. There's quite a difference between a broken toe and a broken foot. Leave it to Kate to exaggerate if she's going around saying she broke her foot.

HCI published book
Purse boy handles any fan who might get too close.
Attorney to handle lawsuit and ex.
BV to handle twitter critics.
She did not give credit or thank a single one of these people on her book tour, though she did manage to mention her enemies.
Oh, oh. The story below is front and center on MSN. A search of MSN for TFMJG brings up articles about Jon and the gun incident from 3-4 days ago, nothing about her cookbook.

Elvis has definitely left the building. Now if TFMJG would leave the building and go home, most of America would be grateful.
So how did she go from having a blister to a broken foot? This was tweeted on Friday when she was at the BBF.
McLaughlin Kraus @NannyDiaries 17h
@Kateplusmy8 so great chatting w you today in the green room. Hope ur foot heals quickly--and wishing you a blister-free future :)
8:15 PM - 27 Sep 13
Paige has just tweeted, "Kate wore flats because her foot was hurt".
Big difference between "broken foot" and "her foot was hurt".
I watched the show and TFW definitely said her foot was broken. Again I think she probably stubbed her toe because I know how she likes to dramatize everything. If the injury was serious she would have walked on the set favouring the injury - which she did not.

Congratulations to Paige for being asked to come on stage with Kate. Very, very kind of Kate to do that. I have to give her kudos on that one.
I've still got to wonder who pays Steve now as her road manager and assistant. He certainly can't be commanding the high fee TLC was paying him. Perhaps he works for Kate gratis...or at least at a reduced rate if she's paying (and giving him occasional room and board above the garage)? Not sure if he's still written into any agreements for these appearances, since I have no idea who is footing the bill. It's very strange, if you ask me.
I wonder how soon she'll pen another book to get more of these trips and attention, because I still say she's not going to get another tv gig.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I don't think she deserves kudos for bringing Paige onstage. We all know she reads here. I think Steve convinced her to do it since he appears to be filling the job(s) of road and PR manager, assistant, wingman, etc.
Sure, it was great she was nice to Paige - on camera.
Where are all the good stories about Kate in everyday life?? *crickets*
If she was home September 26th, wasn't that the day Jon was on The View?
We have identical triplets in our little community. Natural. No drugs. Can't miss them. Bright, curly red hair like their mom. :)
"I watched the show and TFW definitely said her foot was broken. Again I think she probably stubbed her toe because I know how she likes to dramatize everything."
Didn't she tell someone else previously that she had blisters? She's probably covering for herself, since she knows she was photographed riding in a golf cart at Baltimore (haha), and having a broken foot (rather than just a blister) would justify it.
Wow! What got BV's tighty whities in a bunch. Wonder if he was referring to Kate, if he finally saw the light and realized there's no way he and Razzy are going to win this lawsuit. What I don't understand is why he's still on Twitter. Many accounts have been suspended for a lot less than what he's done - the outings and vulgarities and more.

''...I believe TFW serves them from the counter so she can control the kids portions. She doesn't want any waste, so she'd rather have them finish what is on their plates and ask for more than to not finish their food.''
''....When children are not accustomed to helping themselves and food is limited, this is what happens. Certain ones will stuff themselves and others will be left with nothing if their mother doesn't have enough prepared for their individual and growing appetites.''
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think that TFMJG controls the children's portions because she wants total control of the children. I don't believe it has a single to do with food waste, because TFW would just make them eat any 'waste' the next meal. She has said that is what she does.
You are assuming that the children are not allowed to serve themselves at Jon's house the way they are at TFW's house. Jon has said that they eat what they want and as much as they want when they are with him.
Your comments about ''food is limited'' and ''if their mother doesn't have enough prepared for their individual and growing appetites.'' seem to be saying that TFMJG is incapable? chooses not to? properly care for her children by not preparing enough for them.
I believe she prepares more than enough food for the children to eat their fill, but she doesn't allow them to eat as much as they want...thus her insisting on serving them the portions SHE decides they should have. Controlling the food intake is just one more way for her attempt at total control over those children!

LOL, too funny, Tucker's Mom!
Does everyone think this is indeed Kate BV is referring to? Oh, ouch. It does sound like the way things usually go down with her. And who better to show "a lack of appreciation" than Kate Mine-All-Mine Gosselin? BV doesn't seem like the kinda guy you want to make enemies with.
About Paige being the one good story for Kate--my first thought when I read that Kate invited Paige onstage is that Kate was ENSURING she had a good story for GosselinBooks's site.
Thanks to those who reported back today!
How could I forget the lawsuit? I bet he's feeling under appreciated for cooking the whole thing up and now fighting two high powered attorneys. Knowing Kate I doubt she's bending over backwards to lavish him with kudos. When she's doing media tours is like nobody else exists. This probably included BV. Tragic. Not.

Has Bullyville and TFMJG had a falling out? Maybe they've realized that Jon and Robert have excellent legal representation and they need to put the best spin possible on their involvement with her.
The toes...first couple seconds.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b67umsfv1HA
I cannot believe I am talking about her toes...ridiculous, but it happened before the tour. So she tried to walk in heels for a day and it didn't work, probably got a blister on top of it all.
"
TFW has been home in between appearances. I believe she tweeted from home after one of the NY or NJ signing. She probably did kick the island. She could have tripped over it though. It's just like her to say broken foot instead of broken toe though "
I wonder if that is the same foot or toe she just had the blister on?
I don't think that tweet from BV was referring to Kate at all. I still don't know why he got involved with her, other than possibly to bring media attention to himself, and now he's allegedly involved in suing some of the non-fans for alleged slander/libel/threats against him. That tweet is probably referring to other adults he tried to help and somehow his efforts went unappreciated. Or something. Who knows...but I doubt it was referring to Kate.
No creative name said..
Why cast aspersions on this young lady? You have no proof that she created fake twitter accounts using the names of the Gosselin children. The person mentioned a mall in Canada and people jumped to the conclusion that it was Paige. It is a big country. She has been harassed by the worse of the nonfans. She shouldn't have false accusations against her. We're better than that.
--------
Cast aspersions? Is that what Paige did to Jon? I remember when Paige apologized to Jon for the names and more she called him. And then proceeded to continue to bash him. I'm sure someone has those tweets. She's not the sweet young thing people think she is.
Why is it so hard to think that her identity on the blog, Twitter, Facebook, etc wasn't uncovered? BV does it daily. Even CJ and Ziggy (or was it Goody or the IWs?) are able to find out who's behind a screen name.
I'm happy Kate was nice to her. We all know that Kate can turn it on when she wants to and since Twitter is just about her only means of communicating with the public (other than filing lawsuits) of course she's going to be nice to Paige in public. Imagine if Kate ignored her - Twitter would erupt!
There's also the issue of Paige having thousands of photos of Kate and the kids, as well as (I believe) a You Tube channel devoted to them. Or she did at one time. You don't want to ignore uber fans like that - they can turn quickly.

I remember my mom (in Philly, which ups the cost) paying about or more for car insurance than what DH and I pay for 2 newer cars combined.

Robert had some quotes about adult bullying from ''a brilliant attorney'' (Razzamataz), and then within a very short time, bullyville is ''done helping ADULTS who are "bullied" on Twitter''.
If I had to speculate, I'd say that Robert was 'hinting' on his site that bullyville had met his match, and was being forced to drop his stupid so-called lawsuit against the people that were ''bullying'' TFMJG on twitter.

Well, geeze...there's gratitude for ya!
Kate helps this guy get his name out there and this is how he repays her? I guess he just doesn't know how to help her anymore.
Seriously though, what did he expect? He obviously wasn't paying too close attention to Kate's MO. Perhaps he just thought, because he was so diligent in having her back, that her gratefulness would endure.
Of course, it's not clear that he's actually referring to Kate but I'd bet my last loonie that these tweets are aimed at her.
I'm guessing, and I emphasize that this is just my opinion, that he perhaps found himself in some legal hot water as a result of his association with Kate and that she is doing her best to wash her hands of the entire thing.
BullyVille who?
I just watched Katie and I have questions:
Why does Julianna Moore have second billing to Kate?? Julianna Moore has bee on small/large screen for 30 years. Kate is an untalented has been!!
Why did the audience stand up??
Why does Katie give Kate so much credit for raising 8kids?? Doesn't she know that there are mothers and single mothers who also have large families and don't have the money/ nannies that Kate has.
Doesn't Katie know that there are teachers with 32 or more students who supervise and teach students all day long??
Doesn't Katie know that Kate wants her job??
Does Katie have her head in the sand, or or doesn't have a clue about the world around her, or is she just plain dumb?? Maybe all three??
BTW, no kudos to Kate for allowing Paige on stage. A really nasty book is coming out and she's going to need her small army to defend her! She never does anything because she's a sweetheart. I think she's disgusting!

I see that we both believe that bullyville found himself in some legal hot water, but came to different conclusions about who is responsible for bullyville's situation.
I don't think that bullyville and/or his 'lawsuit' has crossed TFMJG's mind while she is on her 'book tour', and the center of attention.
I'm convinced that Robert's attorneys are behind bullyville caving, and Robert was hinting at that in his post about ''brilliant attorney'' and that attorney's adult bullying quotes.
Joy in Virginia (46),
Sorry! If it makes you feel better, my boys have been playing the BB song on YouTube non-stop. Now my younger kids are singing an edited version of it, too. They did enjoy meeting him and having pictures taken with him.
And every time I get the overwhelming urge to hit the beach, I blame you and your amazing stories of beach living. I'm jealous!
Funny how the word just came out that TFW's lawyer doesn't believe that adults can be bullied, and suddenly BV is feeling unappreciated. BV sure did bust his bum to help TFW, and I'm thinking he's getting nothing but grief--and possibly some legal issues--in return. I don't blame him for feeling unappreciated. Next time he should be a little more cautious before jumping into some has-been's persecution fantasy.
Blessed To Be Mediocre Mother
Hey Folks,
I'm not sure if anyone will remember me, as I haven't posted for probably close to a year now, and I had just started to post more frequently when I stopped. I purchased Robert's book the morning it came out because I felt that some stunt would cause it to be pulled quickly. Oddly enough, the weekend it came out I was busy teaching at a series of conferences (the Awana ministry, if anyone is familiar with it) on teaching/working with children. My heart just broke as I read Robert's book, to the point where I had to step back and leave the blog for a while. I personally couldn't handle both Robert's account of the children's lives as well as their continued happenings on a daily basis on this site. I finally came back around January, but since then I have remained in the corner lurking again. I've started to comment before, but as others have stated too, so many of you are much more eloquent than myself, and generally say what I would have said anyhow.
So anyhow, I came out of my corner to say that I do think that Bullyville's latest comments might be referring to TFW. Especially with the word ADULTS capitalized. If you take a look at Robert's latest post on his blog site, it seems to me that Bullyville could possibly be referring to what Robert posted. At least that's the impression I got. Interesting....is Bullyville keeping up with Robert's blog site???
Nice to chat with you all again!
I wonder how soon she'll pen another book to get more of these trips and attention, because I still say she's not going to get another tv gig.
*******
Yes, "Eight Little Mirrors"
I think Steve works with Kate still because you never know, it might pay off if Kate gets big again. It's an outside shot, but he's invested a whole lot thus far, so he's hedging his bets instead of cutting his losses.
I thought for a very long time that Steve actually "masterminds" Kate.

Could be Remona. I did say I was merely guessing. I was basing my opinion on the fact that BullyVille used the words 'lack of appreciation'. I can't think of a better description for Kate.
Ultimately though, it's BullyVille himself who is the most to blame for whatever the situation really is.
Aligning himself with Kate was a mistake, many of us called that from the get go. However it's playing out now is a result of that choice.
Still, no sympathy from me no matter how you slice it.

I just watched Katie and I have questions:
"Why did the audience stand up??"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Having just experienced being a member of the audience at the Marilyn Denis Show, I've learned that the audience reaction is all very orchestrated. They have you practice cheering; tell you when to provide a standing ovation, etc. No "natural" reactions permitted ( i.e. crickets) when the guests enter the studio. :)
Mel: I also think the reason Kate doles out the food she has cooked, so Jon can't say in court or anywhere else, she is not feeding them the 5 food groups. Her moto is you get what you are SERVED and you don't complain or you get it for the next meal. Those kids clearly have no freedom of choice. On Couric show, Kate had the pizza, cut up on paper plates, what looked like salad doled out on bowels, who does that?
Amy2: That is correct. On the CWS, when Kendra, did a taco dinner, and put the food on the coffee table thing, when the 8, started to put food in the taco shell, they did infact, fight over the food, one even stepped on the others plate, and got food all over the floor. That people was Kendras mistake. Sorry, people I would have had them eat at the table, not on the floor.
As for Kate's suppose broken toe, BS! I broke my little toe on my right foot, it swelled for a whole week, and then I had a cast for 4 weeks, on crutches. Kate managed to walk and stand. It is more likely she stubbed her toe, no breakage. What a drama queen!.

How big could those tickets be? If she doesn't carry a purse, couldn't she put them in her pants pocket? Or heck, tuck them in your bra if there's nowhere else to put them!
This also makes me wonder if Paige was ever really going to go. Is is mere sad coincidence that she "lost" her tickets in the cab? And did she say "tickets" in the plural? Wouldn't she need just one?
Tucker's Mom: Litigation begins with the filing of the lawsuit, so Kate is correct when she says it's currently in litigation.
Thanks Steve and Kate. No matter why you did it, you did it, and the expression on Paige's face is priceless. She looked pretty and so did Kate.
feet, toes and mouth injuries hurt so bad. There is no relief from the pain. Thinking everyone should leave her alone on this one.
To her other fav fan...if that was you in the green stretch pants, you need to get a hold of yourself with a quickness. No one here or with Kate's team will allow you to do what you were trying to do at the book fair. no no

Let's throw tomatoes (#123) I agree with your comments about Katie Couric - she's not the brightest bulb.
I was watching the Today show on 9/11. The camera panned the tower just after the first plane hit. At that point there was speculation that possibly a commuter plane had struck the tower. Katie and Matt continued talking about the incident but couldn't provide any detailed information.
With the camera on the first tower, the second plane hit the second tower. When that happened even I knew it must be an attack but Katie Couric said, "Gee, what are the chances of that?" meaning both incidents were accidents. Matt had to tell her these were no accidents, they were terrorist attacks.
That conversation comes back to me every time I see her on TV. I just couldn't believe that an experienced journalist could be so naive.

May be true in some sorts on what you posted, but...Paige is a young girl, and she don't know all this nor does she care. She just wanted to meet her idol of many years, and she did. I do give kate and steve a pass, because it was the RIGHT thing to do at the moment.

Another interesting tweet from BV. I would love to know what's going on here because although they may not be talking about their relationship with TFW and her minions it certainly sounds like they are. Hmmmmm, SG if you've got the inside scoop do tell!
I've been thinking about the $1600/day fee Steve was getting during the time of TFW's women's conference and church talk circuit and wondering how she can afford that fee now.
I'm leaning towards thinking he charged that much for certain jobs because it was written into one-time-only event contracts (and was essentially being paid by the someone else) and that he has a different rate for long term general employers like w/TLC and TFW.

*******************************************************
I only watched the 'at home with the Gosselins' part of the Katie C segment. I can't stand to watch Kate lie her way through face to face sit down interviews.
I don't think Katie Couric is oblivious or dumb. I think she just tried to make the most of an uncomfortable situation. Her show is being cancelled, she's been relegated to fluff pieces and basically has had her journalistic integrity usurped by producers who want filler without substance.
I hate to use the word conspiracy but it does seem like a trend in the media, especially when it comes to celebrities (as much as I hate to refer to Kate as such), to substitute serious journalism for feel good video clips and palatable sound bytes.
We, the mediocre, don't really need to know what's going on. We're too busy with keeping our jobs so we can keep our homes to worry about what's really going on in the world.
We, the mediocre, are happy to munch away on journalism as pablum and fall asleep believing that all is right with the world because Matt Lauer, Katie Couric and Barbara Walters say it's all good.
I suppose it's a pretty pessimistic way to look at the world. But what else can you say about an abusive shrew of a talentless woman still getting softball interviews and forums to spew lies that any research intern can dispute with a simple Google search?
And let's be real...the cookbook is a joke. Her appearances are all about her polarizing personality, sales and ratings. I really hope that, for the sake of her children, Kate wakes up and smells the karma brewing in her beloved Keurig.

Sounds to me like BV got burned by Kate. She is the only one I can think of that destroys everyone in her path.
Remona Blue...105, I didn't mention anything regarding how these kids are fed at Jon's house. I still believe TFW limits what she puts on each child's plate because she doesn't want them to take too much and not finish what's on their plates. Hence, the waste. Frankly, I don't think she would want to deal with separating and saving what isn't finished on each child's plate if they were to take too much food on their own if bowls or plates of food were being placed on the table to be served family style. I'm not speaking for Jon and how he serves his childrens' food. Hopefully, he allows his kids to eat as much as they want and doesn't concern himself about what they can or can't finish on their plates.
Dollars to donuts he got burned by Kate somehow. Hence why he says hey the haters called this one right. Now he understands. I want to hear the story. We said all along he would turn on Kate.
Here is the segment where Paige was on. It's also when Kate does her demonstration on making muffins. I will give kudos to Kate in making Paige feel special. Paige must be floating on cloud nine!!

I don't think that Paige, in Canada, will play any part at all in defending Kate in whatever mess Kate gets herself into. Paige is clearly into celebrity worship, and if this is part of her lifelong dream (meeting Kate) then kudos to Steve and Kate. I've seen how much it can mean for a devoted fan to be recognized by a celebrity, called onstage, or walked backstage by production. For many, it's something they will remember for a long time to come.
It's a fine line, though, for a celebrity to decide just how many bones he wants to throw to a particular fan. Ignored, and the fans may become paranoid and angry; too much recognition, and they'll keep wanting more. Celebrities need to draw the line somewhere when fans follow them around. In this case, I would think that this is a once-and-done situation. It's not like this young woman is going to be following Kate around the country asking for favors or backstage passes.

From what the poster who saw the encounter said, it looked like the lady in the green pants wanted to talk to TFW. If you're saying that no way would her team allow that to happen, you're right! I don't think they would allow anyone to stand and gab with her for any length of time because, eee-gads, that might put TFW in a position of having to carry on a conversation with a stranger.
And we know from the story about Steve physically moving the elderly gentleman that they won't allow anyone to block people's view of her at a public book fair. Other than that - what do you think the lady was trying to do?

I think you missed much of what was said in that account. There was much more to it than that. There were so many signs that it was a young fan in Canada, but the give-away was when the fake Cara posted that she might be going to Cuba. Everyone thought -- if this really is Cara, why Cuba? What would Kate be doing in Cuba? In a few weeks time, Paige tweeted (as Paige) that her parents had gone to Cuba. Concidence? Maybe, maybe not.
Moreover, Paige had a history of setting up a fake account (to harass Ellen), and admitted it.

Oye Vey, Holy #YentaVille my tweets today have nothing to do with Kate Gosselin or her psychotic, delusional and postmenopausal haters.

We have identical triplets in our little community. Natural. No drugs. Can't miss them. Bright, curly red hair like their mom. :)

We have them in DH's family. Two identical, one fraternal. The fraternal triplet is about 6 inches taller than the identical triplets, presumably because "he had his own egg all to himself", as the joshing goes!
They are so close and have a lifetime of family and friends in their community. Great young men.
Just watched TFW on Marilyn and yes, she was more relaxed than usual. But, when you spew the same BS over and OVER again, it must come easier. The message is always the same, she is busy with her 8 kids, and in this interview she said things have "picked up" for her in last 6 months, whatever that means, I assume this book tour.
When Paige came on stage, Kate could see her "biggest fan" was overwhelmed and told her to "breathe". TFW sees herself as an iconic figure, and in that moment her ego was on full display as she handed over the signed copy of her cookbook to Paige. At least she gave Paige (who admitted to being obsessed with Kate) her moment.
Yes, not once but twice she said she had a broken foot. Her broken foot (with no evidence of swelling), was in a flat shoe not a high heel.
What was refreshing was that Marilyn didn't mention Jon, nor comment on anything to do with her divorce or lawsuit.
Kate looked more prepared when putting her muffin recipe together, but it is muffins after all.
And to AnnieD....72 who went to see the Marilyn Denis show today, I think Marilyn is laying off the Botox a bit.
The reason Paige needed two tickets is because her boyfriend went with her. I'm so glad she was invited up on the stage. But I hope there's no rivalry between Paige and Emily from Connecticut now. Mamma G' s going to have a lot on her hands if there is.
I hate to admit it, but I do like Bethenny, have since her RHWNY days. I think she's smart and funny. I just saw a promo for her show on Thurs. with Kate and it looks like Bethenny asks some tough questions. I don't think she'll be one to hold back, but we'll see.

In the picture Paige tweeted, I can finally see what some have been saying here. Kate's head DOES look too big for her body! It looks like it was photo shopped on, lol.
OT, but I've always watched every season of DWTS and still enjoy the show even with the result show now on Monday also. But I am a fan of The Voice. So I have to DVR one of the shows on Monday. I also watched America's Got Talent this past summer and usually don't get into it unless there is someone outstanding like Jackie Evancho. Although I really enjoyed the current winner, but I was blown away by Forte. They lost, but Simon Cowel was smart enough to sign them up on his record label and had them record their first album immediately after the show ended. In constrast to TFW's lackluster book sales, they are in the top 20 on Amazon with a November 12 release date and were even number 1 for sales during the weekend. They have their first single on itunes (which is fantastic) and are such a group of nice guys.They have a 13 year old soprano featured on one of their songs and another female runner up from the show performing on another song. It just reminds me of how little to nothing TFW has done for anyone. So Paige got mentioned and her book signed. Big deal.
BTW, no kudos to Kate for allowing Paige on stage. A really nasty book is coming out and she's going to need her small army to defend her! She never does anything because she's a sweetheart. I think she's disgusting!
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I don't think that Paige, in Canada, will play any part at all in defending Kate in whatever mess Kate gets herself into. Paige is clearly into celebrity worship, and if this is part of her lifelong dream (meeting Kate) then kudos to Steve and Kate.
-----------------------------------
In my opinion, Kate and Steve did the right thing. Good for them. This young fan has been wanting to meet Kate for a very long time. Having her on the stage with Kate is something she will remember for her entire life. I don't care if Kate had ulterior motives or not, or needs Paige to defend her if Robert' book comes out. I can't imagine that Paige has any power or influence or will make any difference whatsoever in redeeming Kate if that book is released. Paige got to meet Kate and it was even better than that -- she got recognition on the stage.
Has Paige said that she was able to spend any time with Kate before or after the show?
I'm a little confused. A previous poster said this Paige person previously set up accounts and pretended to be some of the Gosselin children. She also has some sort of twitter account which gave the impression she is not this sweet innocent person.
Why is everyone going on about how great it is that Kate had her up on stage with her especially if she was setting up fake Gosselin accounts. What am I missing?
OK, I can't stand to hear Kate say she has broken her FOOT anymore. She said it twice in the same interview. I have broken my little toe twice and three toes on the same foot at one time. Each time the pain was so excruciating it brought me to my knees. I had to wear a shoe-bootie each time and I limped for at least three weeks. I could not, at any time wear any kind of shoe for six weeks. Getting into bed and trying to sleep with just a sheet over me sent me through the ceiling. How stupid does she think we are? She broke her foot but she's walking around with no limp and wearing shoes? Pulease!
So, I am a Yenta, psychotic, delusional, postmenopausal and a hater. So glad that Bullyville cleared that up for me. I wondered what was wrong. :)
I watched the Marilyn clip. If Kate had a cooking show, I wouldn't be able to listen to it. Those ums would make anyone nuts. It's not just an occasional um, but good grief, it's prevalent throughout every sentence. Doesn't she know that she's doing it? Wouldn't you think that someone would suggest to her that she takes an elementary public speaking course? It's pitiful! I had forgotten how really bad it is.
Having just experienced being a member of the audience at the Marilyn Denis Show, I've learned that the audience reaction is all very
orchestrated. They have you practice cheering; tell you when to
provide a standing ovation, etc. No "natural" reactions permitted (
i.e. crickets) when the guests enter the studio. :) 123
Annie thanks for this information! I also want to thank you and Layla
for your first hand reports.
On the CWS, when Kendra, did a taco dinner, and put the food on the
coffee table thing, when the 8, started to put food in the taco shell,
they did infact, fight over the food, one even stepped on the others
plate, and got food all over the floor. That people was Kendra's
mistake. 130
Call me cynical but I think that Kendra was set up. She's not a fool.

What Green Pants was trying to do at the BBF? She was obviously a fan. She was absolutely giddy to be near TFW, and kept coming back and trying to approach her. From her facial expression, and the way she was clutching the cookbook to her chest--she was just beside herself. She was definitely overzealous, and after a couple stops back Steve would intercept her before she could get to TFW's table, but he would chat her up and smile. He did not act like Green Pants was doing of saying anything alarming. Just an obsessed fan who couldn't tear herself away.
And yes, from Admin's encounter where Steve grabbed her arm, and from the BBF when he physically moved the elderly man, we know he has no problem being physical with people. He would have physically removed Green Pants if he thought she was of any concern.

Oh my goodness - the pic of the triplets with their 3 yr old big sister - all with beautiful red hair, is ADORABLE! What a great looking family.

When everyone is the audience gets a free book of TFW's, do they count as sold books? Thanks.
What is with this Kate 3-5 year old talk she does, is she trying to be cute, cause it makes her sound stupid, not cute. Like: she posted on twitter a while ago, my ouchy foot, who talks like that! or using yum after, stuff she has cooked. I take her yums as: she is trying to convince herself, what she made tastes good. Even her fans, are starting to talk like her.
I also love how Kate says: she eats what the kids eat in control portions? What? Did she not put in her own cookbook, her own daily diet, and that even on twitter she had posted several times over the past 4 years, that she does not eat what she cooks for the kids, maybe once in a while she will have a little bit or one piece of whatever they are eating. What a liar. I bet Kate probably has hardly tasted half or most of what she has cooked for those kids. And this organic non-sense she keeps saying is just what it is, non-sense. She eats organic, kids eat whatever she slops into a pot. If most of the recipes are the family favorites it figures on why so much of it is from a can, not fresh organic.
Doesn't "psychotic, delusional and postmenopausal" also describe a large faction of Sheeple?

Well, then he's a hypocrite who talks out of both sides of his mouth.
Uuummmm,it's interesting how some of you are overjoyed that Paige met her idol. WTH! I wouldn't want my daughter to get near a self proclaimed child/animal abuser. Paige has every right to idolize a celebrity but at least pick someone who is not such a horrible influence ! You don't want her to grow up to be just like her idol???
Usually I don't defend myself when someone disagrees but I'm in a mood. My tooth broke and I have to see a surgeon to fix the problem . That sucks!
Paige meeting Kate is not a good thing, but you might feel differently and that's your opinion!

I'm right there with you!
For someone who acts so 'chachem' (smart), you'd think he'd know how to spell 'oy'. Guess it really is an act.
KatyKat..thank you for the story and the beautiful pictures of the triplets. They are adorable! I especially love the second picture of the babies where they have such funny faces. It put a huge smile on my face.

Was Steve intercepting Green Pants so that she couldn't get her book signed?
Lalala, don't forget the Crocs!
Layla,
I agree with your observation of Ms Green Pants being an excited fan who just wanted to chat with the famous celeb (cough, cough).
I was responding to jus4u and wondered what she was referring to when she said that one here or w/TFW's team would let her "do what you were trying to do at the book fair. no no"
I guess I should add the triplets in our community are 15 now. :) Not babies. But nice,smart, wonderful girls. :)
Well, have to say, Kates Canadian fans are more forth coming in posting pics of themselves with Kate. There are at least 4 pics in the last 15 min, on twitter, and most are all young fans. And one pic of Kate sitting behind a table and you can see her feet, I see no bandaide on either foot, just pale-pink flats. If it were broke she would have a very large bandage or case on. And neither foot looks swollen.
Lauren @ljohnson2006 8m
@Kateplusmy8 best wishes always to you and your kids. People may think that they know you, but they have no idea

And Lauren does know her? She's funny, but doesn't know that she's funny!
So there we have, TFW and her obsessed fan.

Paige looks rather sweet and natural, whereas KG, just odd. Head too large for skinny body, work done to face definitely giving her a frozen look, and sorry, puffy little sleeve way to young for her. Looks like she decided to let the extensions fly wild while making muffins, yuck.
Sorry Canada, guess she's yours today.
There is still a lot we don't know about this story and may never know. The deal about Jon paying no child support is troubling. Something about that just doesn't pass the smell test. So much of what we are fed by these people hasn't passed the smell test.
Signing off for a time. Best wishes to all. The Gosselin mess as a whole is just too disturbing and might take a team of psychiatrists to figure it out. This lawsuit will get ugly. The kids will pay for all of it. Sad, really sad.

Haha! Of course! I thought that was a given!
Some people say postmenopausal like its a bad thing!
The voices in my head tell me I am not psychotic or delusional.
I don't care enough about TFMJG to even strongly dislike her. She is just boring, same old same old.
I have green crocs!
This photo shows Kate wearing flip flops. The two small toes are taped together and there is bruising and slight swelling. She may have a broken toe, but I doubt there is a break in the main part of the foot.

Why is everyone going on about how great it is that Kate had her up on stage with her especially if she was setting up fake Gosselin accounts.
-----
-----
The only account I knew about was the fake Cara tumblr account which was taken down immediately when people called attention to the discrepancies posted there. If there were other accounts, such as FB and Twitter in which she pretended to be other Gosselin kids, I'm not aware of it. She and another fan did set up something on FB to harass Ellen, and I think that time she admitted it (and apologized for it?).
To snub Paige at a show, not acknowledge her and brushing her off just wouldn't have been right. Kate knows that meeting her has been Paige's dream for such a long time. She got to meet her, finally, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I'm just wondering if she's expecting more, like chatting with Kate for an extended period of time, or having a jammie party with her. That's why, with a fan who is obsessed as Paige, someone like Kate has to be really careful.
Although I really enjoyed the current winner, but I was blown away by Forte. They lost, but Simon Cowel was smart enough to sign them up on his record label and had them record their first album immediately after the show ended.
-----

They were absolutely outstanding. They were my favorites from the beginning. When they sang "Unchained Melody," I just sat there with my mouth open. When they were eliminated, did you see Mel B mouth "Oh, my god." I enjoyed the winner...he was very talented, but I wasn't as blown away from him as I was with Forte. I don't know when I've heard three such powerful voices together. Thanks for the info about the album. I will buy it.
I just saw Kate in Indigo in Toronto, wow - I never expected this turn up for her. At least 40-50 people where lining up and a bunch of people hung around. Steve was obviously for her security (lol) nearby. He was scanning the public the entire time. Kate seemed friendly enough and took pics with people.
I will sent the admin the pictures. I took It took me a while to find the chapters, as mentioned on the book tour schedule - there is no chapters in Yorkdale mall, it was in Indigo though.
I was gonna email the pictures I took, but I don't see the admins email address anywhere, can anyone help me out?
Looks to me like Kate's Canadian tour is turning out to be the "Teens and Tweens Tour" from what I see of the tweeted pics from the tonight's book signing.
So, I am a Yenta, psychotic, delusional, postmenopausal and a hater. So glad that Bullyville cleared that up for me. I wondered what was wrong. :)

What if you are pre-menopausal? Is there another group for those non-fans??

I believe it was a broken toe, or toes, because in one of the photos, you can see that they are taped together. In the photo showing her feet in pink flats, you can't see her toes. She very well could have broken them and have them taped together,
On Sept. 27th, Today's show, Kate has a small white, probably gauze bandage, and wearing heels. Most likely a blister got worst therefore the need for flats and create a better story; "I broke my foot". Come on Kate your a nurse LOL. A broken foot one would be in a some kind of cast. Liar Liar pants on fire!
While I'm glad that Paige finally got to meet her idol, I think it was more of an ego boost for Kate than coming from the heart. Initially I thought it was gracious of her to invite Paige up on stage, but after hearing Kate make the "Breath, breath." comment, I knew it wasn't out of concern for Paige but more to pump her own ego up. I can almost hear Kate's inner voice saying "Paige is so lucky to have met me. It's such an honor for her."
BV: "Oye Vey, Holy #YentaVille my tweets today have nothing to do with Kate Gosselin or her psychotic, delusional and postmenopausal haters."
I'm not sure, but... I think we're being bullied, here.
Gotta wonder if TFW made herself wait until Mady announced for the 4th time that she needed to see a doctor about her foot. We don't have time for a cast, do we, so we'll just tape the toes.
Wow, in the picture of TFW and Paige behind the counter, I can see what a sloppy mess she made pouring the batter into the tins. Has she never used a spoon or a mini ice cream scoop to ladle batter into tins? Did she just pour batter out of that huge bowl? If so, wow.
Judging by the picture I do think that TFW probably either jammed or broke a toe however having broken a toe myself once I don't see how she's been able to put a shoe on this soon (since it supposedly just happened). My poor little piggies did not want to be confined. Now don't laugh, but I actually wore my Crocs because there was plenty of room in the toe box and thus didn't put any pressure on my toes.
On Marilyn's show, Kate said she submerses herself in whatever she is doing. Shouldn't that be immerse? Dunce. And if people are constantly commenting on her looks and inferring she must not be eating her recipes, she has to be so thin it warrants a comment like that. To me, that is concerning, not complimentary. If Kelly Ripa walked out on stage, and she is thin and in shape, I doubt she would get the same comment. That's because she is healthy-thin. Kate is unhealthy-thin.

*****
This has been discussed in depth here. Jon and Kate have apparently agreed to split physical custody so they each have approx. 50% time with the children. I would hazard to say that their income is either close to the same, or Kate may still actually be making more than Jon, based on her various deals. DWTS one year; CWS another year; blogging jobs, etc. If they have about the same amount of physical custody, and if they are currently earning about the same (or Kate even more), then it's quite normal that neither one would pay child support.
Just because Jon is the father, does not automatically mean if he's not paying child support, there is something fishy going on. It's based on facts and figures. Percentage of time spent with each parent; income of each parent. Plug that into a computer program and see what it spits out.
Do you think Kate would voluntarily give up taking every last penny from Jon if the child support calculator said he should pay a certain amount each month? Because I don't.
