Once in awhile a reality show comes along that tries to make a difference. "The Big Tip" promises to do just that by singling out people in the restaurant service industry deserving of recognition for community service or just all around do-gooders (one waitress is a foster mom, another gives all her money to a dog rescue, still another is also a firefighter). Rachael Ray will then present the waiter or waitress with a "big tip" in the form of a check.
We're not the biggest fan of chirpy Rachael Ray, her mediocre cooking skills and her ripoff garbage bowl marketed to solve a problem that never even existed, but this tear jerker is a cool idea. And it has a little bit of credibility, since Rachael started out as a waitress herself in her parents' restaurants. She works hard, owns pit bulls, and she promises not to bear offspring because she just wouldn't be a fit mother, which you have to respect. Looking forward to this one.
Sunday, Food Network. 10 p.m. or check local listings. The series premieres Sunday with promises of more episodes in the fall.

Also he wrote the book BEFORE the whole thing with Monica went down so it wasn't like he was trying to capitalize on a big scandal. He was just minding his own business doing his job and started witnessing a variety of behaviors that shocked and horrified him so much he felt it was his moral duty to inform the public.
Kelly and franky -- Another Stephen King fan here. There are a few books I haven't cared much for, but I find most of them enthralling. I've sat up all night reading more than once. My favorite book of his is "The Stand". I admire him a lot as a person, too. He's overcome a lot, from his vision problems to that horrific accident where he was hit by the mini van. IMO, he uses words better than most every other writer out there. Thanks for mentioning "Haunted Heart", Kelly. I hadn't heard of it and just went online and put a hold on it at my local library.
Hope your ankle heals quickly, Kelly. Meanwhile, enjoy the enforced rest and read some more King!
Foxy: I too started to watch, the 19 & counting Amy special is what I call it, it was so boring, I fell asleep, halfway through. It should have been a half hour. Two hours too long. Amy sings mediocre, her stage presences sucks and she talked too long.

I read a book once in college about the Clintons called Unlimited Access, written by an ex-FBI agent. For someone in the FBI to go on record with that was a pretty big deal. Of course the Clinton folks called it rubbish but I don't see a libel lawsuit anywhere.

Ah, yes, Gary Aldrich. Went to a rally in DC in '99. He met our plane with limos (lots of us) and took us to our hotel the night before the rally. Good times. Haven't thought of him in years. I was a staunch conservative back then. Now I'm poor, don't have to pay taxes and have decided if the people want the dems in fine by me, I need their money. LOL
OT: Any Law & Order- SVU fans here? Love that long-running gritty series. Neat how it explores stories from the headlines and changes them, but gives a good analysis of the crime and motivation.
Admin~Without taking any formal position on the Clinton family (or a Hillary Clinton presidency), I think it's important to make it clear that the book you reference was not a biopic. It was a hit piece.
Written by former FBI agent Gary Aldrich and printed by a renowned conservative publisher--was hailed as informative, but it was most certainly not without its share of controversy. Some claims were so outlandish (or overstated) as to be addressed as such by skeptics on all sides.
I don't have time this morning to provide any links, but I encourage people to read up on this further, so as to be fully able to separate facts from opinions, within and beyond its covers.
It's not "turning into a tea party blog" anonymous. Come on, seriously?
We're having an adult discussion about two extremely current events. We often discuss current events because the posters here enjoy doing so and are engaged with their world. Sometimes it's nice to discuss other things besides piddly little Kate Gosselin. It's nice to be engaged with the world. I've deleted a few comments that got way too political. I'm sure we'll move on shortly. Turns out a poster here was picked up from the airport by the author of one of the best books I ever read. I enjoyed hearing about that.
I normally wouldn't allow political discussion but the Hillary interview was just as much of a peek into a spoiled "celebrity" as it was a politician and for that reason I think it's fair game, since we often talk about spoiled celebrities. Straight talk about politics is never a good idea but in this context it was highly relevant to what we often talk about. Carry on.

Nope, not this week. Jimmy Fallon is the cover story.

WHAAATT??! I wonder if Kate called Katie Coyne and gave her the what-for about THAT! How DARE they!
So, no special People for the Big Tups Turn Ten and no special People for the update special. Are we living in bizzaro world? lol
InTouch magazine has an article about the book, and is quoting excerpts from the original book. Guess Robert didn't give him any updates about the new book.
http://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/explosive-book-reveals-kate-gosselin-s-alleged-diaries-the-violent-punishments-hair-pulling-spanking-and-whippings-her-kids-suffered-39223
And why do any articles about the book keep on insisting that Robert had the hard drive from Kate's computer. Robert has always said he had computer discs, not the hard drive.
So is Kate going to sue InTouch now?
I am familiar with Aldrich's book. It was sensational but unsubstantiated. In fact, the guy who gave him the info about Clinton slipping out to the Marriott to be with women later said that it was nothing but gossip and was surprised Aldrich used it in the book.
He used a conservative publisher. His publicist was a GOP operative who worked with NCPAC. He is on the Tea Party Patriots board of directors and runs a conservative nonprofit . He has denounced "pants-wearing women" so no surprise he's not a Hillary supporter, LOL. Bill was no saint, but the book, although a best seller because it was an interesting read, was largely dismissed as just political sniping and not credible. I suspect Fox News will drag him out if Hillary gets nominated. I seem to remember the Clinton administration did try to block the book but lost.
What I find hilarious is the absolute lack of PR that TLC is putting into this "Special" in the past she was on every talk show and magazine cover. Now you can barely find her on their web page...Oh how far she has fallen. TFW welcome to your new "Normal" ;)
Whoomp! There it is.

I used to watch it but sort of drifted into Criminal Minds. Now I'm hooked. I love how Penelope Garcia can find out in seconds practically anything, anywhere, anytime about people whether they're a victim or an unsub, with just a few tappity-tap- taps on her keyboard.
I always think she's who the defective detective aspires to be like, but fails at miserably.
In Touch is running the Kate's journals story. Some of the comments are horrifying -- parents who actually condone whipping and spanking their kids because they "snap" once in awhile. I have to wonder if they are serious about slapping their own children around, of if these are sheeple who will do anything to defend TFW.

It's not an either or situation. We're not stuck with Clinton or Christie. There are primaries. There are opportunities for many other candidates to make a go at it and to look past the obvious choices and see if there might be someone else out there better. T
*****
I didn't say it was. I was merely pointing out that not too long ago, Christie appeared to be the frontrunner (in the media and elsewhere) for the Repub nomination, and political operatives and the media are doing the same for Clinton. I did, in the next paragraph, discuss other possibilities.
I have no doubt there are many better candidates out there -- but if they aren't part of the political machine; if they don't have big money and political clout to make behind the scenes deals; if they aren't seen as having paid their dues and worked their way up the political ladder -- their chances are slim at getting anywhere near a nomination.
I don't like what politics have become in our country, and I don't like how we've been turned against each other because of our political affiliation. "Liberal" is sneered as a dirty word, while conservatives who used to be more focused on fiscal responsibility have now become the moral police. We're told that the "other side" are bad people. I'm progressive. My neighbor across the street is proudly Republican. We are very good friends because underneath the labels, we actually have a great deal in common and we're both quite decent people. We just agree not to discuss politics :)

The corollary between Aldrich and Hoffman is interesting.
Both authors exposed powerful people, lies and corruption, and went to the mat fighting for their lives as they knew it.
Kate brought TLC and powerful attorneys to bear in her effort to silence Robert, and the Clintons brought a very loyal media and the invisible hand of the Beltway.
If I were to bet, I would bet that one day, Robert will be vindicated when the sutures finally burst on Kate's world of collusion, lies and deceit.
Kate's Monica Lewinsky is out there, waiting for her- cigar, blue dress and all.
I hope Robert gets to experience that vindication.
I have no doubt there are many better candidates out there -- but if they aren't part of the political machine; if they don't have big money and political clout to make behind the scenes deals; if they aren't seen as having paid their dues and worked their way up the political ladder -- their chances are slim at getting anywhere near a nomination.

What's great about this blog is that we can have intelligent discourse about many things beyond Kate, and thank you all for that!
We've dabbled into politics, and to me, Clinton's carrying on about how poor they were post White House just smacked of Kate and her "piecing and patching', purse full of bills, and couch with coins.

Waving to Admin! I see you responded before my post was even put up :)
On a lighter note -- if we think our politics are bad, I am watching Season 2 of Game of Thrones on Netflix, and saw 4 episodes last night. Now those politics -- are brutal!!
I will also confess -- I watched an episode of The Little Couple last night. It was very schmaltzy, with Bill supposedly deciding, all on his own, that he wants to surprise Jen with a recommitment ceremony on her 40th birthday. (Please TLC, you are fooling no one! This is one of your "go to" episodes for every reality show you produce that has a married couple in it!) Bill and Jen have been married for only 6 years - isn't it a tad soon for a re-committment ceremony? Also, it's tacky to have your private moments filmed, such as when Bill gets down on one knee, fumbles for another expensive ring, and proposes to Jen and they murmur "I love you's" to each other and kiss. I believe they are truly happily married, but it's voyeuristic to watch such intimate moments between husband and wife.
So then, I made it even worse --- and watched an episode (repeat I think) of 19 Kids and Counting. In this one, Derick proposes to Jill. I did tear up at the song that was specially crafted for this moment. I also wondered why the entire family, Josh, wife and kids included, had to go on this book tour, when the book being touted was written by the 4 oldest young ladies. Why drag the entire clan along?
Anyway, I feel better for having confessed of my temporary TLC viewing.

I agree.
As for this being a tea party blog, on my! LOL I noticed many pro-Clinton comments, more than anti. It's interesting how people see only what they want to see so they can complain.
As for being picked up at the airport by Gary Aldrich, all the staunch conservative journalist-types were at the rally-Matt Drudge, Ann Coulter, Lucianne Goldberg, oh and Alan Keyes, Rep. Bob Barr.
I'm not political anymore. I've seen and heard too much to think we, the people, come first in most politician's minds. "Power corrupts...well, you know the rest.

I will cop to some recent clandestine Duggar watching. I never really watched the show much, but the courting thing intrigued me. Finding out that Jim Bob was matchmaker for Derick and Jill kind set off an alarm for me. It made me wonder if the show is starting to come to an end and Jim Bob wants to get at least a couple girls married off on TLC's dime.
There was a flashback show about Anna and Josh after one of the new episodes. It had footage from their wedding. One scene showed Michelle and Jim Bob sitting in the pew, the next scene showed Jim Bob on the altar pronouncing Josh and Anna man and wife! Sheesh! He's as much of a fame whore as Kate!!
Gladys better make sure Kate is notified immediately, if not sooner, to put on a helmet. She's about to crash and burn.

I'm also a SK fan. I own a Kindle thanks to him....I was reading Under The Dome (DT version) in bed and fell asleep and the book hit me in the nose causing a nose bleed. I've got both Joyland and Mr. Mercedes loaded on the Kindle and will read them as soon as I finish my current book (John Lescroart's The Keeper). SK has another new book (Revival) coming out on November 11th and I've already pre-ordered for my Kindle.
Admin, my oldest ds is starting his 9th year of teaching and has tenure. He called earlier today and said, there was a judge in CA that ruled that teacher tenure is unconstitutional. Our state is red. A democrat who just got elected can't remember what office, is saying hey, he agrees with that ruling in CA. So my ds thinks he is drumming up support for it to happen here.
I told him, oh, don't worry about that ruling in CA. It will go to the Supreme Court and they will overturn it. He said it would take years.
And this is why TFW and her 'brand' can just suck it IMO. Watching Hoda and Kathie Lee while working out this am - it being Father's Day week, they have had touching stories all week. Today it was a family of 4, two sets of twins, 3 and younger, dad deployed overseas. He has not yet met the younger set, was sent back 1 week before their birth. Mom is calm, composed, talks about life is a schedule, from breakfast to bedtime. Facetime every day with Dad. And of course Dad is on the show, meets his younger ones for the first time. Tears all around - mine, Hoda, Kathie Lee. The look on the older boy''s face when his father walks out, you know real Dad, not Facetime dad, is shock and awe. And Dad's parents are there, so when his mother sees her little boy, more tears all around. It did not seem at all exploitive because right, not a TLC story line. It's real, it's family supporting each other, but this woman has two sets of fraternal twins, 9 months and 3. Just had to share.
Kate is a twit, thanks for the info re People not having TFMJG on the cover. It IS HILARIOUS that the former tabloid cover mom and tlc stah has no print ads, no magazine covers. And from what I have heard of the commercials that tlc has been running, this special may very well turn into highlights of ” the worst of TFMJG”. Wonder if she is still represented by Julie May? Was tlc paying a retainer and now that contact is up? Things that make you go hmmmmm...
My take on the K+8 special is that Kate wants to be the center of attention, wants the cameras on her at all times, and any child who might get in the way is going to pay. I also think there was something witty that Mady was gong to say, and TFW ordered her out of the room before she could say it. She wanted to be the star of that scene, and wasn't about to let Mady take away her thunder. Same for the clown getup. It's the tups' party, they didn't want a clown, so she has to stir things up so she gets all the attention. I saw the clip, and the way she said, "I can't wait til my kids see me" was so...grim. This was not a mom who was playing a fun little joke on her kids. This was a mom who was grimly determined to make the whole situation all about her. She does not want to share a show with her kids. She does nto want to share the camera with anyone. She wants her own show, all about her, all the time. And having people bash her for treating Mady so poorly wouldn't bother her at all. After isn't that what she wants? She wantes all the attention, and doesn't care if it's good or bad as long as it's focused on her.
BTW, I am a fan of Stephen King, the man. I am in awe of his prolific writing and believe he is truly gifted. But his genre is just too scary for me lol. He came from a dirt poor childhood, and while he is undoubtedly extremely wealthy, he and his wife seem to have remain grounded and unpretentious. I believe he is very generous to a variety of worthy causes.
Just for fun, here's a twitter exchange between Kate and a fan that was posted 3 years ago today!

Health and youth. Hee--hee. Poor girl has nipped and tucked everything she can think of, and now she just looks bizarre. Big fail there.
Much work and challenges. The talk show never materialized, speaking ops died out years ago, her cookbook was a major flop, acting never happened, travel (like her cruise?) failed, scenery consists of her view out her front door. Love? Ummm, nope! And the only sun and sand are from a single grifted beach trip to Alabama.
Poor Kate. None of her dreams came true. In fact, she took every one of her goals and made a mockery of them.
I wonder if she ever thinks back to the goals she had so long ago and wonders what she did wrong. Probably not.

As many times as The Today Show has had Kate on, I'd like for Savannah to interview Robert about his book because she experienced first hand the witch Kate is to her children. Robert's book needs to be mainstream and out of the gossip rag world.

And after that interview, I would like to see Kate return to the Today show with Cara and Mady so that Savannah can ask them if Robert's book is an accurate depiction of their mother or a pack of lies... and then watch the girls go silent again.

&&&&&&&&&
Kate is not listed on Julie May's website as one of her clients. She is however, now repping The Little Couple.
From reading the initial contract with Julie (from the book) it appeared that the client needed to maintain a certain level of income stream to remain a client of Julie's. Maybe Julie kept Kate on for awhile anyway, but finally gave up?
While flipping channels the other week, I came upon some VH1 thing about one hit wonders of the 90s. They did an interview with Vanilla Ice. He is a perfect example of someone who came along, broke barriers and actually had some talent. We all know how that worked out. His "people" decided to give him some street cred by inventing a story about him growing up on the streets in Miami, dealing drugs to survive and being in a gang, etc. When in reality, he was a rich, spoiled kid from Dallas, TX. As soon as that came to light, it was over. Done. Never to be considered or taken seriously again. He attempted suicide in 1994. He survived. The one thing he has going for him is that he wasn't too terribly stupid with his money. He still does music gigs here and there, but he mainly works as a building contractor.
Short story long.. he ruined a promising career by being fake. 9.7 out of 10 Americans don't appreciate being lied to and had. Basically the same thing happened with Jon and Kate. America loved this harried young couple who were doing it all by themselves. They related to the shrieking mom in sweats and the dad who was trying to keep peace. When that turned out to be a lie, America changed their minds and the channel. Kate is never going to capture lightning in a bottle again. She seems to be satisfied by grasping at straws and being the butt of late night talk show host jokes. That's not being famous, it's being a stooge.

Reminds me of OJ's book, "If I Did It."
I like SVU!! Criminal Minds and Midsomer Murders are my favorites, but I love to catch an episode of SVU every now and then.
I looked at In Touch Weekly, and wow, the comments by fans that it's understandable if she snaps...no it's not! I have a big family, and I can honestly say that I never beat my kids, never picked them up by the hair, never slammed them into anything. The excuses make me sick! Fortunately there are lots of sane people who are pointing out the fact that kids should never be beaten.
I'm still wondering about the format of the book. Will it be an e-book or a "real" one? My Kindle died (won't hold a charge), so I ordered a new one. I'm ready! I just wish Robert would let us know what to expect.
This logic in this comment from the In Touch article has me scratching my head.
I am pretty sure that this is all made up. I know that if I was abusing/hitting my children I would not write in down anywhere. How many abusive parents write down every horrible thing they did to there children? They are not stupid they know that writing it down means losing their kids, and criminal charges. That would be just plain stupid.
Has the sheeple spin begun on Twitter yet? Or are they still having
a damage control meeting in the barnyard? Don't bother closing the
door, guys - the horse has already left the stable.
I suppose we should expect some rainbow and unicorn tweets from
TFW today about summer fun! And how much she loves having
her kids home all day! And perhaps a countdown to the special!

If beating her kids is acceptable....... then their going to love the part where she took money from unsuspecting church goers....sick bastards..

If this was Jon's diary that was being published and Jon had copyrighted it, the sheeple would be screaming from the top of the barn that he should lose his parental rights. They wouldn't care that it happened 8 years ago. Hypocrites.
The sheeple (by secret ewe ballot) say they don't care about Kate's 8 year old abuse of the children and they've written it off. Which makes me hope that Robert publishes in the new book some of the more recent incidents he alluded to in the last book.
BV said awhile back that if any abuse by Kate could be proven, he would go "balls out" on her. Still waiting on that.
If Kate wants to try to sue Robert over any of the new allegations, she knows he has Matin Garbus behind him now and he will 100% defend, causing her to go through discovery. Tom Cruise found out last fall how unpleasant and revealing THAT was and quickly & quietly made it all go away. We all need to strap ourselves in, it's going to be a bumpy ride. Might need a helmet, too.

How many abusive parents write down every horrible thing they did to there children? They are not stupid they know that writing it down means losing their kids, and criminal charges. That would be just plain stupid.

LOL! Stupid is as stupid does..................................................... she's guilty as charged.
OT (sort of)...
There is a new show being filmed locally that is yet another exploitation of the Amish. Now we just learned that Destination America is planning another reality television series set to air in the fall, called "Amish Haunting."
There was discussion on this blog recently about local businesses either allowing or refusing filming on their properties. A local filmmaker here is disgusted with this whole thing. There's an interview on Lancaster Online. Excerpt:
“Who are the sponsors? What area businesses are allowing them to shoot on their premises?” she asks. “At some point, our community needs to draw the line.”
Sponsors, she says, “get scared off pretty darn fast” when people organize against a show or product.
Local tourist agencies “should be having a fit right now,” Haverstick says. “They can’t compete with the reach of these networks that are making us look ridiculous.”

I agree, but they are sheeple. That speaks volumes.
I'm still wondering about the format of the book. Will it be an e-book or a "real" one? My Kindle died (won't hold a charge), so I ordered a new one. I'm ready! I just wish Robert would let us know what to expect.

I may be wrong, but I think someone contacted Robert and was told that it's also available hard copy.

an unfit father! I would love to see some of the comments from that episode, juxtaposed with comments about this first-person account
of toddler abuse at their own mother's hand.

I read a book once in college about the Clintons called Unlimited Access, written by an ex-FBI agent. For someone in the FBI to go on record with that was a pretty big deal. Of course the Clinton folks called it rubbish but I don't see a libel lawsuit anywhere.

Ah, yes, Gary Aldrich. Went to a rally in DC in '99. He met our plane with limos (lots of us) and took us to our hotel the night before the rally. Good times. Haven't thought of him in years. I was a staunch conservative back then. Now I'm poor, don't have to pay taxes and have decided if the people want the dems in fine by me, I need their money. LOL
That is hypocrisy at its finest. Vote against the party that wants to provide a safety net for people until you personally need that safety net, then take advantage of it. Reminds of a former co-worker who was militantly anti-abortion...until her unplanned pregnancy. Suddenly, that whole Roe vs. Wade decision came in mighty handy.

I love that the community is standing up for who they are and what they stand for.
I hope that businesses begin to see, through the awareness that Robert's book brings and the facts that it elucidates, that Kate has been using her kids, her family, her friends, her husband, her community and her fan base for years now, by exploiting her kids, who she has abused and neglected.
Thanks InTouch. Monster Mom?
Hmmm, kinda thinking that was not the accolade she was looking for in her big return to the screen. Spin it Milo.

TFW mus be L.I.V.I.D. She will be farting rainbows and unicorns tonight to deflect, deflect, deflect. Just wait for the tweet about little Collie helping her out or cuddling with her while they watch a movie. Can the ROL story bashing Jon be far behind? A source close to Kate says.....
I read "Unlimited Access" years ago. I haven't forgotten all the reports of disrespect in and to the White House. The story about the X-rated Christmas tree and Hilary's glee over ornamental penis decorations sickened me. I expect more from the leaders of our country.

A comment from the In Touch website:
"I would say publicity stunt .. Out of nowhere this comes out now when they have a special about the septuplets turning 10!"
It's interesting to read some of the angles from people who haven't really followed the trainwreck much. Out of nowhere? I don't think so.
It might even bring in viewers who otherwise wouldn't have watched before they saw this article and that kind of publicity isn't going to help her get too many more 'tlk sho,+speaking opps, +books,acting etc" gigs. Once again, she shot herself in the foot.
It's spreading all over the internet. Great publicity for Robert's book.

I've done a quick search on Google to try to find out what facts are out there regarding this story. Interestingly enough -- it seems the main basis for this story is Aldrich's book. It's written very poorly - very much slanted and mocking of all things Clinton - so you have to take him with a grain of salt to begin with.
On a Snopes.com message board, one poster said that the tree involved was a small tree in a private bedroom, that the ornaments were made by art school students, and that was the end of that.
There are no pictures that I have been able to find to prove that the descriptions of the ornaments was 100% accurate, no one else has stepped forward to add credence to Aldrich's version, and I didn't see where Mrs. Clinton was allegedly gleeful over the ornaments. But this is par for the course, as she has been demonized almost from the very start. While I may not be personally enamored of Mrs. Clinton, I strongly doubt she is as fiendish as described by those on the right who simply abhor her.
Okay dokay -- enough of the political junk for today. I am off work and heading for the grocery store!
OT one more local commentary on Brat defeating Cantor. Paul Goldman is local Democrat who is kind of a self appointed fiscal watchdog, very experienced, and ran Doug Wilder s successful campaign for governor. Wilder was the first African American governor of Virginia.
Goldman says this is ” middle class Republicans revolting against a rising GOP Congressional leader seen as using the power of government for his cronies and the political elite rather than the people back in his district.” Goldman thinks economics have the most to do with this win. He says to call it a tea party victory is too narrow an interpretation, and also to blame it on Cantor s Incompetent media strategy is missing the bigger implications. ” the middle class is tired of business as usual.”

Why would you look at someone differently just because of their politics? Different opinions and ways we see things makes us interesting. I'm actually glad to hear we're all over the map. It gives our stand on child exploitation credibility. It's obviously an issue that has transcended any kind of political allegiances. We all came together in the name of something we saw was wrong.

*********************
This is exactly what I was thinking. Get a job! lol
I think Tucker explained it well the reason I allowed discussion of Hillary was because she just gave an interview that quite frankly was not all to different than Kate's "purse full of bills" interview. You can love her or hate her but we can't deny that she said something that if KATE said we'd be all over it. You can criticize the interview while still supporting her politically. We were certainly not the first people to criticize her interview. She's been blasted around the net. To ignore it is to ignore a current and highly relevant public event. We frequently discuss current events especially when they can be compared/contrasted with the Gosselins just like this one could..
In general it's not a good idea to discuss politics on a blog not about politics but that aspect of her interview wasn't political. Posters felt a need to make it political to defend her, and the floodgates opened. But that's okay. And sometimes it's relevant to the overall discussion. Good points were made by all.
We frequently criticize celebrities here when they say or do things like this. I don't see why Hillary should be off limits just because her profession is a politician, so I allowed it, within limits. Hillary will work itself out. America will either elect her or they won't. She will always have her supports and will always have her haters. I trust Americans to do what's best in the end.

To keep bringing this up like it has any relevance to what is going on now makes them look desperate and uncertain. Like they think maybe this special isn't going to go well.

I wonder how Cara would react if she has to miss her lacrosse practice or game because of filming or even arrives late or her mother and siblings miss her game. Or better still, if the film crew shows up at the game and mortifies her.
Kate is dreaming if she thinks the lifestyle of a normal 13 year old is at ALL compatible with filming.
A couple filming days for ONE update special does not even begin to give her children an idea of what a regular filming schedule would really be like. They don't really want this, they just aren't able to grasp what it would really mean. And she's selfish to paint a delusional picture of it like it will be all fun. It won't be, that's just a fact. Even children who LOVE being in the business admit there are times when it's not fun and you have to miss things.

I can't be sure, but I feel a sniffly appearance on the Today show in Kate's future. I see her dabbing at non-existent tears. I also see her explaining away the trademarking of the diary as simply making sure the fiction story she was writing about a mother of 8 would not be infringed upon. I don't think she's going to fart sunshine and unicorns, I think she's going to find some way to make herself the wittle innocent victim.

Will be interesting to see how this girl reacts to the update show..if she watches, and to her encounters with TFW. Seems like a new team and she has no experience with the Gosselins. Her twitter looks like a typical teen. One might be shocked at the F word and other things but they are pretty mainstream these days. The F word now is like shit was to us. Anyway, this is how teens are and TFW is living in a bubble taking her almost 8th graders to moves instead of letting them go with a friend. It's a PG-14 movie, she didn't need to be there.

That's my speculation, yes. Around here in the public schools the kids don't make the middle school/high school team unless they have been playing travel sports (volleyball/soccer/softball/lacrosse..doesn't matter). It sucks. The rich kids get the advantage. From what I can see this tweeter is going into a public high school in Lancaster County. If she has a spring or summer birthday she would be on the same club/soccer age group as C.
That's how it works I think pretty much across the board for any competitive school. Kids are way better at sports than they used to be. There are getting way more practice time in because of all the club teams and camps and practices. It's true if you haven't been playing intensely for at least a few years you probably can't compete with other kids who have.
I can't hit a pitch thrown by a 10 year old nowdays. With!

How predictable Kate is. She suddenly has time to tweet farts and rainbows a week before the special starts. And the kids are screaming and a-squealin' with delight at seeing their commercial. She makes it seem as if they are all expecting this to lead to another series and the kids are probably drooling at the thought of traveling on those free trips and being pulled out of school a lot more often!
God, I hope TLC hasn't hinted to her this could lead to another series, because this is no longer a special, cute family.
@Kateplusmy8: @RaychelCharles we're watching little couple on @TLC &kids SCREAMED w delight when they saw themselves on promo #2cute #GrowingUpGosselin

SCREAMED with delight or SCREAMED IN HORROR?! If it's true that they screamed with delight at seeing themselves it's not #2cute it's #pathetic especially if they feel they have to do that to please TFW.
Just like we did not stop until each and every celebrity endorser on ALL of your websites disappeared.

Interesting. I gather this is someone or something interested in stopping BV. I wonder if they contacted Kate. Kate DID disappear from this mess suddenly and without explanation.

Screamed? I thought they shrieked. I'm as confused as a sheep.
Oh well, no matter. I doubt if they did the screaming. I'm sure it's Kate who screamed with delight when she saw herself, as narcs are wont to do. I also think Kate is twittering this bs because she's just an iddy bit worried about RH's book. She tends to go off the deep end when 'stuff' like the truth gets in her way.

That's a good question. Perhaps because he thinks they are all involved in some kind of conspiracy? Or maybe he decided to throw the haters in there to kill two birds with one stone and appease his newly-found Kate fan butt nuggets who are waiting for new vacation homes?
It's just all kinds of crazy, imo.

Whomever is behind that blog seems to (understandably so) have particular bitterness towards the Cheaterville site and how the victims have to pay to have their photos and info removed. They seem to be clueless and have little interest about the Kate part of it. No idea who the admins are, but my guess is that someone one of them cares about about was on Cheaterville.
The real reason Kate took the girls to the movie, is cause kate herself wanted to see that movie. Kate has no friends.
===================
If Kate isn't featured in a film, I doubt if she has any interest in it. Kate took the girls to the movie because Kate wanted to tweet that she took the girls to the movie, therefore showing that they still do things together, and despite that horrible promo clip, they still love and adore her.
That's a good question. Perhaps because he thinks they are all involved in some kind of conspiracy?

Well, doggone it. Sheeple claim that there were no photos of Kate and Steve holding hands at the concert so therefore it never happened! lol!
No wonder kate got out from BVille, facing big sanctions. Slipped out the back Jack.
It sickens me that she has to tag along like a 3rd, 4th or 5th wheel with her dds every. single. time. It HAS to be embarrassing and embarrassing to the friend that went too. She is emotionally stunted at 12-13 years old. The picture of kate looking at the camera with the short brown hair in the striped shirt years ago to the mentally stunted saggy bags pink clown wig is just unbelievable.
To the poster who said kate looked......grim. Yes, ma'am! It was her demeanor, her body language and her saying what she said on the clip. It was ewww, shoulder shaking, e gads wrong. She is getting worse by the day.
I feel sorry for the tup girl who said Nooooooo! for her to be the clown at the party. I think she is doing it out of spite AND this is all her pea sized brain can think of because they must have a tight budget for the party and she is conforming to it so she can be on Tee-vee!
She is such a good conformer! Just like she was suppose to catch a fish and the captain said, if you want to catch a fish you have to go 20 or 25 miles out. Kids sick? check. No lifejackets? check. Kids laying in their own vomit? check. Did kate finally get her fish? Me time with Steve in the Shark Cage? Priceless!
Full Steam Ahead! THAR SHE BLOWS!!!

Yup. Of course they did. Or not. I vote for not.

tups and broke it? Ooooh, such anger! He was full of rage! What
an unfit father! I would love to see some of the comments from that episode, juxtaposed with comments about this first-person account
of toddler abuse at their own mother's hand.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
I remember that episode. Jon was irritated before he took the little kids out. I think he was fed up with TLC and mad that Kart was gone. It seems he couldn't find coats for the kids, or something like that, because things were still in boxes. I don't remember much of it, but I felt very sorry for him. He had had it "up to here."
He was angry and did like too many of we humans do. He was mad and behaving like a mad person. His little kids were the closest he could get to controlling SOMETHING in his life. It was not his finest hour. It was a sad and disgusting episode. I felt very sorry for him and for his little kids.
@Kateplusmy8: @RaychelCharles we're watching little couple on @TLC &kids SCREAMED w delight when they saw themselves on promo #2cute #GrowingUpGosselin
Sounds like a set up to me. Never any mention of watching TLC shows at home with kids until tonight. She knows promo clips are playing so sets it up so that the kids will see themselves on TV. She never talked about her kids seeing themselves on TV before when their show was airing. She is so transparent. Hey Milo! whatcha think? are ya excited about a peekin an a pokin into their lives again? those kids belong on tv cause kate said they squealed tonight dontcha think?
I'd love Elizabeth Warren to run for President. I'll settle for a Clinton/Warren ticket this time around.

What grade will the tups be entering this Sept.? Thanks
I guess Math wasn't one of Kate's best subjects in school. Barb Gilmer tweeted Kate to remind her that Kendra Wilkinson's birthday is today, June 12. Kate replied:
Kate Gosselin@Kateplusmy8 ·
@BarbGilmer I already had it on my calendar! Oh yeah! It's the big 3-0!!! :) #lovethatmomma
Kendra was born in 1985, so she is 10 years younger than Kate. How hard is it to figure out that she's 29, not 30?
I wonder if Kate will embarrass herself by tweeting to Kendra about her "30th" birthday.
And do not assume the "friend" at the movie was a pal of one of the girls. The friend could have been Steve.
"...kids SCREAMED w delight when they saw themselves on promo..."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What, the kids aren't used to seeing themselves on TV? After all, TFW said the kids watch their own episodes all the time. They should be pretty blasé about it by now.
Or did the kids inherit TFW's lack of self-awareness? Do they spend hours wondering who that kid in the mirror is?
Yeah, sure.
"Screamed w/delight" LOL. And this woman claims to be a best selling author?????
Why the hell doesn't she drop her 13 year old girls at the movies and pick them up like every other parent on the planet? You are correct. She wanted to see the movie with a "friend" and ( again I do not believe that friend was with the girls). Totally believe it was Steve so with the girls present and someone were to tweet about it, it'd be legit.

Well your post irked me too. I hardly dissected it I took a look to see if it was a hater or sock fan and could tell that it wasn't. I always do that because random tweets often are from tweeters that are obviously spam, or fan socks and I dismiss them. My point is these girls are entering years where most of their peers will have social media and it will be harder and harder for TFW to control the information.
Sparkle @ 120, wow so plausible. Are you sure you're not in PR? Or working for tfw? ;)

She's starting to lose the careful control she's had for the past couple years. The special has her revved up and she's forgetting herself.

That and the book. BAHAHAHA!
OH, and Jon too
Paper Plates Forever! Yay! 153
The kids may have screamed, but not in "delight." A Kate spin - "delight" indeed. Based on the commercial of update show, let alone past history, these kids clearly are filming to please TB (a new term for the queen) as they know their lives will be pure hell if they dare to state an opinion opposite of the queen. Not a single kid looked happy in the commercial.
Just proves that this woman (TB) will do anything to stay on TV (in spite of what the kids want). Famous quote- "When anyone wants to stop filming, we will stop." As if the kids or Jon for that matter ever had a say in filming. The RV trip was proof positive that the kids clearly did not want to film.
And if filming 3 robotic silent boys, (who barely say a word) indicates their "screaming delight," I must be missing something.
Why does she not get that the more she films, the more obvious it is that the kids don't want to film?!? Oh silly me... narcissists just don't care- all about their needs. Twisted that she gets to state all 8 kids want to film, when it is clear as day that they don't.
For the record, could care less what she does on her own. Just let the rainmakers have 5/8 years of a private life. Old and tired. She may get to sign them up for filming, but don't like her "speaking" for all of them. Not buying it at all.

Yuck.
Can anyone confirm during Little People there was a Kate promo? Likely there was but no way did those kids SCREAM with delight. She is sooooo transparent. If anybody was excited , it was Kate. So sad she does not see herself as she really is.
Honey Boo-Boo and her mother June were on Jimmy Kimmel, last night I believe. It's interesting that they are out there promoting their new season on TLC and Kate is stuck at home, tweeting out "screams of delight". Note to Kate and the sheeple, TLC isn't even putting forth effort to promote your little reunion.
I'm confused - why are the G kids allegedly screaming w/delight about
seeing themselves on TV? According to TFW, it's their "normal." It's
all they've ever known. Do you think the kids on "Modern Family"
scream with delight when they're watching "The Middle" and a
commercial for their show comes on? And why, why, why would a teenager whose mother humiliates them on camera be excited to
have that footage aired on national TV?
There are stinkwaves of desperation coming off of TFW right now.
Somehow her gut is telling her this is her last chance. This final
tweeting frenzy to promote the pilot ought to be good. Plenty of
contradictions and BS to enjoy. Come and git yer popcorn!
And here's the $64,000 question -
@xxxxxxxx @Kateplusmy8 @Xxxxxxxx @TLC You're NOT a Gosselin so how can they be growingupGosselin when they are with YOU?
Realitytvkids.com (Administrator) said... 125
That's how it works I think pretty much across the board for any competitive school. Kids are way better at sports than they used to be. There are getting way more practice time in because of all the club teams and camps and practices. It's true if you haven't been playing intensely for at least a few years you probably can't compete with other kids who have.
*******
I have to say I agree, and have said so here, but.. I'm going to "humble brag" a moment.
Our college nephew only began to row/"crew" when he went to college.
He's a natural. A phenom, and just got national recognition.
I think he try out for the Olympics.
Who knew?
(the Gosselin boys are very, very unlikely to have his perfect-for-crew-stature- he is very blessed physically)
I watched The Little Couple, and yes, there were two K+8 promos on close to the end.
It was interesting to see how Jen and Bill treat their children compared to how Kate treats hers. Jen and Bill treated their kids with such respect and love. No freak-outs, no meltdowns. In one clip, Bill was coloring Easter eggs with the kids. He had separate cups of dye, set on the counter, and each child got to pick the color they wanted. Bill then set the cup with the child's chosen color in front of them, helped them each dye one egg, then removed the cups and let each choose their next color. Then came the Gosselin previews, with the kids shrieking in the basement, the whole family shrieking and running across a street, Kate making one of her goofy noises. And then, of course, the clown thing. What a difference!
The sheeple think that if we don't like to see the G kids on TV, then we have to be against all kids on TV. It didn't bother me as much to see Bill and Jon's kids. Why? Because they were treated with respect. Kate abuses and humiliates her kids and calls it entertainment. That bothers me. On the LC, there was nothing that would embarrass the kids in the future. And, thank heavens, there was no filming of the LC's kids getting diapers changed, sitting on potties, or in any other way exposed. Sorry, sheeple, but there is a difference.
She's starting to lose the careful control she's had for the past couple years. The special has her revved up and she's forgetting herself.

The veneer is cracking once again.
Kate just can't keep it under control for that long.
It's interesting to watch.
I think she's going to have a meltdown.
Even if the twins were fine with Kate there (they probably made her sit several rows behind them like most kids would) she's reaching the very last few months even weeks before these 13 year olds are going to be done with mom being their BFF.
Like most daughters they'll come back around in their 20's, but this is a time for them to break away from their parents, both parents. To try to forge your own way and have your own life without Mom and Dad in the inner circle anymore. This is normal for all teens, and you can't do that with your mother smothering you.
I hardly dissected it I took a look to see if it was a hater or sock fan and could tell that it wasn't.
&&&
Yes I gathered that too. I always prefer to distinguish between random people and sheeple or hater tweets. It makes a difference to me. Frankly, I don't put any stock in sheeple/hater tweets. I do in the "random" drive by ones. I think they are more representative of the general public.
Are kids their age even interested in Little People? Any time I've watched bits of it it's always about very adult issues that I think would be downright boring to kids. Mostly parenting struggles right now and adoption issues. I can't imagine this interests a 10 year old.
There's just so much more out there for kids that would be more stimulating for them than Little People or, god bless it, Full House. Turn on National Geographic once in awhile.
Little Couple used to be on at 10:00..maybe it's on earlier now? 10:00 is a bit late for 10 year olds to be up watching TV I would think?

************************************
I can confirm it. I was watching Little People with the promo came on. I was stunned to see a promo because TLC hadn't done much up til then.
I hardly dissected it I took a look to see if it was a hater or sock fan and could tell that it wasn't.
I think that's a perfectly legitimate thing to do. No harm done. One of the risks of posting stuff on the internet is that random strangers will be seeing it and possibly 'dissecting' it.
Seems like TLC is putting all their energy into promoting Honey BooBoo. She and Mama June were on Jimmy Kimmel last night to promote the new season and they are scheduled for Wendy Williams on Monday. I think that should prove to Kate once and for all that she is no longer the draw that she thinks she is. I firmly believe that this special was just TLC honoring what's left of their contract with Kate. After this is over I think Kate will be relegated to appearing once in a blue moon on whatever Z list show will have her for a one time only appearance.

Oh it's all about Honey Boo Boo now. Out with the old in with the new.
I'm watching Orange is the New Black all the way through and even they were making a Honey Boo Boo joke.
This is just filler for TLC. They can't air Honey Boo Boo 24 hours a day. Like most networks their priority is their top three or four best shows and maybe one mega hit. All their energy is going to go to that. The other eight shows to fill the remaining timeslots, plus reruns, aren't going to get much special treatment. It just shows her ego, she really thinks this is some groundbreaking huge thing for TLC to bring them back when really it was just a decision like any other decision they've made to fill an undesirable time slot around their prime time slots reserved for the likes of HBB, the Duggars and the Little Couple. She is not special.
Leslie 155: The tups are going into 4th grade in september. They are a grade behind, cause, 4 were ready for 1st grade and 2 were not, so instead of letting the 4 move on, cause Kate can not break up a set/6pk/team, they were all held back. Also, so in case they have to film, kindergarden is not really according to Kate real school. I would have let the 4 move on, and have the other 2 repeat kindergarden, and later work with a tutor, to get them caught up with their sibs. To me they are individuals, they are not joined at the hip. JMO
For those who have seen the promo with the clown getup, which girl tup is the one that said, "No?" I'm just curious if it was Alexis because Kate seems to dislike her so much over the other girls and that would be an extra dig. I think of how hard it's especially got to be for everyone not Hannah or Leah. She favors those two so much (hell, even admitted to favoring Hannah in her book) and it shows in how those two interact with their siblings. I wonder what the exact hierarchy is? In Kate's world, girls are better than boys, sextuplets are better than twins, Hannah is better than Leah who is better than Alexis etc.
Not even mentioning the physical abuse, her treatment of the boys on the show breaks my heart. Let's think of some examples:1) They still had to dress alike long after the girls did 2) When they had their TLC planned "special days," Kate went on every girls' trip, but not on the boys' 3) The 1950s gender-stereotyping she enforced(s) etc.
And that's great that Cara gets to play lacrosse this summer. Think any of the tups will ever be able to play their sport of choice or participate in their activity of choice? My guess is no, unless it is one they ALL participate in. Having to take six kids to six DIFFERENT practices or rehearsals or class? Psshh, too much work!
Also, I think we should make use of her beloved #GrowingUpGosselin hashtag and make it trend. You know, tweets like, "No Birthday cupcakes! #GrowingUpGosselin" "Don't breathe too loud! #GrowingUpGosselin" "Boys are icky! #GrowingUpGosselin" "Crackers and five grapes for lunch! #GrowingUpGosselin" "Don't get to name your own pet! #GrowingUpGosselin" Oh, I could go on and on and on...
I think Kate's hierarchy changes except for the icky boys always at the bottom. Sometimes the twins seem favored over the two tup girls, especially when there was a chance their TV appearance might lead to something ( ha!) Also all the BF stuff. But now the special is centered on the tups and I bet Hannah and Leah are back on top- Mady was definitely low down the ranks in that clip.And yes, poor Alexis.Couldn't even choose a lizard back pack and had to sleep in the basement.You could tell on the KC special that L and H pick on her.
Bitchy Pants: I am parked in my bed for a minimum of six hours a day and it sucks. Seriously. The JW's made their semi annual stop yesterday and I nearly called them to my window to "chat". :P Absolutely no offense to any JW's here, but I had a particularly nasty bust up with the group in my area over them leaving a gate open and my dog escaping when they got no answer at my door. It was ugly, especially as there's a "Beware Of Dog" and "No Soliciting" signage on the gate. If I lived anywhere other than the cornfield, my Boxer would have run into the road and been hit.
The biography about SK almost made me cry. His Mom was amazing, so it's no wonder her first son (adopted) and Steve came out to be the kind, decent, incredibly generous people they are. She inspires me as he does as well.
NJ: I remember your story about Under The Dome and I still snort when I look at the hardcover copy I have. You could use some of his novels for personal/home defense :) I did not know you could preorder Revival..going to Amazon pronto.
I wavered on whether I was going to buy Robert's book. Not only am I going to buy it, I wish I could preorder it. I put an alarm on my Galaxy so I don't miss it this time like last time. Although I doubt it will get pulled, I am absolutely not taking any chances.

True M&C will move on from BFF mom but Kate will probably move on to three younger girls.
KK will try to be BFF's with Hannah Leah and Alexis-(god hep em) sadly I don't think the boys will get BFF momma Kate-(maybe that's good) Hopefully Jon will take his boys under his wing.
I think one of the reasons Kate keeps a tight leash on the twins is that she wants to control their interactions so they do not blab bad stuff. These girls are old enough to do some damage to dear, ol' mother but I think they are either afraid of her or afraid for the tups. If it was a friend of the twins who attended the movie with them, makes sense she would insert herself into that situation just to monitor all three girls' conversations. I think she is fairly desperate to keep control of the twins.

Haha, no not a PR person. Someone said last week that Kate would somehow turn the book into a settin' the record straight occasion. I didn't think that any show would have her. The more I thought about it, I realized the trainwreck factor combined with the specials might get her a booking. Doing this though, would immediately drive untold numbers of people to Amazon to buy the book. She's not that bright, but I think that even she knows that publicly disputing the book will only further drive sales.
It will be interesting to see how she attempts to spin this tsunami of sweet sweet karma.

# GrowingUpGosselinWithAnAbusiveMother
I am actually a little concerned for when this special DOESN'T work out (as we all know it won't). I'm sure TFW will blame the kids (since nothing is her fault) and take it out on them at least by verbally berating them. I don't want the special to be successful but I think this is definitely a "pick your poison" scenario for the kids. So sad.

-------------------
No,the money maker tups will NEVER ever get to do any individual activities, as it is too much work for TB. Never mind, she could share transporting of kids if she tried to link up with other mothers. (You know - other human being parents.) She simply does not want the tups to have any interaction outside of her realm. Thus no activities for them, the six that made her a "star." We all know she could do this, perhaps with help, but she chooses not to do so for her own selfish reasons. God forbid a child upset HER non-working schedule. She is a selfish all about me parent.
