«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 661 Newer› Newest»For some reason my other post didn't go through. Something to do with the new verification system refusing to accept my Bitchy Pants moniker, no doubt. Anyway -- I agree with the other posters who disagree with Jeremy. Jon had every right to tell Skeeve the Sleeze to skive off. Skeeve isn't the children's boss, he isn't their guardian, he isn't their step parent, he isn't their teacher. He holds no position of authority over them. He is their mother's employee and her (probable) paramour. Does anyone else think that the edict not to photograph the children is so no one will see them playing with their father? I'm glad Jon got to spend time with them. It's sad, though, that it was with 5 and not all 8. Unless the other 3 spent time with him later (or earlier).
Why do people insist on referring to Jon as homeless? As I understand it, he has an apartment. That's hardly homeless. Also, where does the jobless come in? Do we know that he isn't working anywhere? Last I heard, he was still working at one restaurant, and didn't he say recently that he's also doing IT work?
You know back to the 7am thing, garage sales are often at 7am but that's summer, when it's light out well before 7am.
This week is one of the darkest mornings of the year until we fall back next weekend. The sale did start in the dark I do think it's a bit ridiculous to begin a sale in the dark. You have to haul in a bunch of lights, which they did as you can see them in some of the pics, to have them on for 20 minutes. It's silly. Push it to 730 and be done with it.
Most people have yard sales in the summer not fall.
How did people on this board decide that they KNEW this was Jon's weekend? I would think the opposite, that if it was his weekend, regardless of filming, she has to meet the visitation agreement.
I would have no problem with the "don't tell my kids what to do" if he had the same response to Carla, the crew, etc. and I clearly have no idea if he did indeed tell every other adult at the sale that they should not tell his kids what to do. But if he singled out one person, I find that childish. My opinion.
Welcome back Readerlady/Bitchy Pants. Always good to hear from you. I think you may be on to something and that the no pictures of the kids edict may be because they were having a good time with Jon.
Just re-read posts. Took One for the Team clearly stated that she saw Kate round up kids into the BBB . So whoever decided that it was Jon's weekend seems to be basing this on conjecture
Jon has the right as his children's father to tell anyone how or how not to speak to his children.
I agree with JMO! Also, if Jon were there, wouldn't the TLC cameras want to capture that speshul moment?? lol
But if he singled out one person, I find that childish. My opinion.
========
And you know what? Sometimes being just that childish feels damn good!
Does anyone else think that the edict not to photograph the children is so no one will see them playing with their father?
====
Yes. It's kind of a stupid request not to let the kids get photographed when she brought them for display purposes. Did she just make that rule up when Jon arrived?
What am I thinking? Of course she did.
olivia walton @lovemedietcoke 21m21 minutes ago
@SharnaPax @mscatie @MiloandJack @Kateplusmy8 well she has very specific times she tweets.. Never in the am.never past 10:30pm or so.#odd
I don't check on Milo's tweeting times, but I thought I remember times when she tweets during the day if Kate is on, and I remember that she does tweet right up to 11 p.m. sharp when "hubs" shuts her down.
Jon needs to stop bowing down to Kate's demands. IF it was his weekend, he needs to grow a spine and tell her 'no'. Why must he acquiesce to Kate on HIS weekend?
Something smells. I wonder if Jon took a 'donation' for his cooperation with filming. I mean, if he was so against it, and even said he was going to get a psych. eval. done on Kate, why would he show up to filming?? Something isn't right here.

Why would that change anything? It could be his weekend and if it's true that right now he really has no place they can all stay together, then it would make total sense that after the yard sale, she'd put them all into her car. It could very well be that if this were his time with the kids, then he spent it with them at the yard sale rather than taking them to lunch, or to a playground, or whatever..

Not here! Since summer is so hot and people don't feel like sweating up a storm working to get things together, and many don't want to venture out to drive around the neighborhood in the heat, fall is the best time for a yard sale. We clean out our closets, garages, in the fall...kind of like spring cleaning!
Is it just me, or is anyone else having a devil of a time reading these dang verification words? One is as clear as can be while the other word looks like a two-year-old scribbled it with a crayon.

Maybe Jon is tired. I can't imagine that it's too pleasant dealing with her. It wears you down, especially if you know that she's going to put up a fight and it's not going to get you anywhere.

I'm so sorry about that. I checked the settings and it's set to off. This must be a new self imposed thing blogger has decided to do. I don't see a way to turn it off.
I would suggest creating a google account and then using that. Those who sign in don't have to verify themselves. I hate verification words myself. I can never read them either. My brain isn't wired to be able to decipher them.

Why would he unless that person tried to tell his kids what to do?

Exhausted might be a more accurate description.
Jon's tired?? Please. He has plenty of time to let off steam at all the bars that people tweet. He has plenty of time when he doesn't have custody of his kids to recharge.
Just tired of the excuses made for him over and over. He may not be as bad as Kate as a person but he's certainly a poor example of a dad. IMO, of course.

You certainly ARE entitled to your opinion "Jeremy".
And I'm certainly entitled to mine that you're making a mountain out of a molehill with this Jon/Steve thing. STEVE was the one Kate sent...not Carla, or any other adult. Therefore, STEVE was the one Jon told not to tell his kids what to do. What Jon may or may not have said had it been anyone else is pure assumption.
I would suggest creating a google account and then using that. 15
I did that on my laptop and lost the ability to post at all on IE, chrome and Firefox ( one at a time). If anyone has a potential solution I'd love to hear it. Meanwhile, I use my phone.

Mine are all numbers (look like photographs of houses, mailboxes, etc) and are easy to read except for the ones taken at 7 am on the day of Ks yard sale (just too dark!).

Wanted to comment before I read. Thank you Pittsburgh for playing O Canada, we appreciate it. We may be foes in the good ol' hockey game, but we are friends. thank you

I am glad that those who posted personal experiences of the yard sale found that TFW was pleasant and sociable. I also believe that people can change and learn and grow and evolve, but this is TFW I think I would need to see many more instances of her kinder, gentler self to start to think that she has truly changed.

While I agree that Jon has the right to object to anyone other than the parent telling his kids what to do, I think doing so in front of strangers and the kids themselves serves no one. If he wanted to say "excuse me, can I speak to you privately first before the kids go anywhere"? it would have been a more mature approach, But it just reinforces what the problem is with these kids, in that they are pawns in a lousy relationship amongst the adults. As for Kate, I think she should have worn the pink clown wig.

Hi JMO 1- Can you please add a 1 or something else to the end of your name?? I have been posting here for a while under JMO, and not sure why you use my blog name to post, as you do not represent my opinion. It's happened several times Thanks!
Jeremy, this is total speculation on my part, but from what we've seen in the past, Kreider would have banned him from the property if it wasn't his week. And we've not seen Jon be antagonistic with regards to visitation so I doubt he would have shown up if it wasn't his week.
We can only base our opinion on past history. Until Kreider creates a new history she's stuck with the one she's got.
PJ
OK. The yard sale was open to the public. Jon had every right to show up period, whether it was his weekend or not. Maybe it was the only way he could see his kids because Kate has been alienating them? If I was in his shoes, I'd show up too in a public place. Kate would not call the cops on him and make a spectacle because there were paps there (which were probably snapping photos of the kids so Kate is a friggin' liar to ask people not to photograph the kids). So what does she do? She sends her Flying Monkey ( LOL, love that!) to gather up the kids from their father. It is mind blowing to me that she thinks her Flying Monkey would scare off Jon. Judging by Jon's response, he's had enough. Good for him. I would have done the same.
That show of wrapping her arms around people and chatting it up: total BS. They were FILMING. When this airs, you can bet those moments will be shown. Did her parents show up? Kevin and Jodi? I don't think so. Nope. She is not a nice person and if you think she is, judging on meeting her for a few minutes, then read about narcissists and then go back and read Robert's book. After all the years of following her, I am not surprised at all that she can sometimes be "nice", but it's always been when she wants something, and in this case, she was being filmed and she mentioned she was happy to see "old friends". This is what the yard sale was about: reversing the negative image and hopefully getting people to feel some sympathy. She does NOTHING without a PURPOSE.
Flying monkey lol. That's totally Ratclaws.
A drive by says the story was a plant so who knows.
BTW, with Halloween around the corner, I bet Steve is and has been at the house for weeks. I sometimes believe this guy has two families. I guarantee you if he is there at Thanksgiving, without Gina, we have our answer. Of course, Kate will play the coy Tweet card and only mention friends (Steve) and family (the kids).
ITA, the story may indeed be a plant. In that case, then we know Kate has not been taken over by the pod people and emerged a nicer person and that Jon decided to stay away rather than create a scene. So what? We will find out when the show airs or Jon decides to go public. Bottom line: the yard sale had nothing to do with charity or needing money. It was entirely set up for filming. Knowing how Kate does not like to mingle with locals, I would say she and TLC must have been desperate for filming ideas. No way will these specials evolve into anything long term.
LOL I thought you'd guys would like the monkey thing.
I'm mean what's the wicked witch with out her flying monkey?
TLC stinks said... 34
The only times we have seen KK give to charity was when she was being filmed.
Changing my name, as someone is now using my former name and does not represent my opinions.
Anyway, if Kate alone is so popular, 1) Why did Twist of Kate not succeed to a show she advertised; 2) TLC cancelled HBB after someone publicly exposed the lies so I have to wonder if TFW made a deal with TLC after she discovered a convicted child porn guy was editing film (as a blackmail tactic) to continue filming. TLC did not want their "secrets" disclosed, as they did not with HBB, (until a private person came forward with a picture), so it is possible TLC made a deal with TFW to continue filming her and the kids to avoid further controversy. TLC is very good at "burying things." Including two staff members that left her show.

That's right Milo, remind everyone that TFW likes her wine.

Tired from what? Well, I guess getting up early and having to interact with people can be tiring. I am an introvert and get wiped out after social outings...but I don't get the feeling she is one. She's just mean. And Took One for the Team made it sound like when it was over, TFW just rounded the kids up. The crew must have done all the work packing the tables and unsold items up. Noone reported seeing her setting the stuff up either. All she had to do was show up and be nice.

Thinking more, why doesn't Jon join up with Paul Peterson? In fact, Jon should have brought his court papers with him showing it WAS his weekend. The cameras would have been there to prove it.
**************************************************************
And what a spectacle that would have been, especially for the kids, in front of the kids...maybe, just maybe, he doesn't want to show animosity, anger, bitterness, FIGHTING with his former wife in front of them. Maybe he just wanted to enjoy the day with them??
This is my point. It's *his* weekend. He can see them where he wants. Is there no law in PA?
*********************************************
Since there's a lot of speculating going on...
what if the kids really wanted to be at the yard sale? Maybe Jon wanted to make sure he saw them and/or make sure it wasn't a 3 ring circus. Maybe HE is the one that negotiated with that bitch that no pics were taken?
Again, just speculating
Well if there were paps at the yard sale, noone seems to have published anything. The only article seems to be the RE.
She couldn't take it! She has a mental problem. This is constantly, every time Jon is around the kids, she throws monkey wrenches into everything he does with the kids to stop them and have control over them
****************************************************
Classic narcissist! Plus that he was being paid attention to by others,that he looked like a normal loving father while she's been trying to demonize him to the world? The visual didn't match what SHE wants the world to think about Jon. She wanted her little "gosslings" back around HER so she could play her wonderful mother role.
Am I the only one to think it's funny that "tons of $" was raised (now that the proceeds appear to be for the ARL) when just the other day she said yard sales "are not $ makers" (that of course was when a "portion" was described as being "donated").
***********************************************************
Yeah, another classic
contradict themselves, pretty much in the same sentence
Idk. I had my doubts Jon would be there and I have never been convinced Kate would ever behave civilly let alone fairly to him. I think if they didn't want photos of the kids taken, Jon should have brought the younger ones to a playground away from the yard sale area, and return them later so they could participate a little. Sounds like Mady was helping but not Cara. I do not think the posters who shared reviews were lying; I just can't fathom J & K being within spittin' distance of one another. How would the kids who have not been seeing Jon feel? How would he feel? How could Kate keep her eagle eye on the situation- she tried using Steve but apparently that did not work. I know it's all for filming- also funny the kids got along and with other children, too, after what was shown on the birthday special. Maybe penalty of severeness was laid down.Why are there no photos of Jon from Tweeters etc? I read he never turns down requests. And Carla was there? I thought she was among the banished? Plenty of fishy business at this sale.I wasn't there obviously so don't know what is true or a set up or a guess about custody or what. At least the children mainly seemed happy and the yard salers were treated ok.
As far as her being nice-all narcissists can do it. Who knows, it might have been a good stretch for her "niceness"-she got her reno, she knew she'd be filming, she's getting paid, she had people lined up to take pics with her...she has been in her glory! It might have been a good few weeks or months, lucky kids!! But watch out, because that will turn on a dime! Keeps her kids on their toes, don'tcha know!
Hey, Jeremy or other veranda residents, just for fun, let's switch up the scenarios. Jon sends (insert current girlfriend's name here) to gather up the kids when they are with Kreider. What do you think would happen? Write a short paragraph, explaining your answer. (turned this into a writing assignment, lol)
PJ
You know? I would bet money that Jon's showing up was the only way available he had to keep them from filming his children. TLC would have to get his permission to film him and the kids playing. SMART MOVE JON! I would love to see you showing up at all the places they film. They can't stop you from going to public places. After all, the most real of reality, kids in and out of frame show would be blown out of the water if you were just "mediocre" Jon Doe there to watch the filming (he he pun intended). No way would those kids be able to just ignore him as if he wasn't there. You wouldn't even have to say or do anything but show up to throw a wrench in to TLC and Kate's filming. Take one, take two, take three. Is it getting to be too expensive to film her TLC? Now that would be a show I would watch.
Concerning the verifications, enlarge the code and it is easier to see.
The Ross someone was asking about is Ross Matthews on E! tv.

She's also been taken down a few pegs. She may be playing nicey nice since she LOST when she sued JON? She LOST her show, she hasn't WON complete 'OWNERSHIP' of hers AND JON's children. She's DESPISED, she DESPERATELY needs the kids in order for any show to take place. Maybe she's made some concessions? It's the means to an end
That said, I hope that the animals benefit from this day. Please don't ban me from the veranda!
******
Nevah! Nevah! As God as my witness, nevah!
Thank you and everyone who reported.
I'm heartened. I don't need to read that Kate was a beeotch. It sounds like she was very nice, so I'm happy to hear that!
Nope, not happy that this is an "episode", but it sounds like Kate and the kids were doing great, and that makes me happy.
Look, maybe, just maybe, her marriage was not good and maybe she was not at her bets. I don't like that she's still the fame monger that she is, but I do know that she seems to be more "likable" at times, so that is something.
the kids did leave with Jon in the old BBB. Whoever said they saw Kate packing up could have been for filming. Because I know she did not clean up her tables or move the leftovers. A crew did that.
I didn't see Jon leave with the kids but I saw him there. And our Church grounds are open to anyone. Weather it was his weekend or not. He wasn't creating a spectacle.
Anon
TMZ has photos of Jon (and K) taken at the yard sale.
bm
TMZ has pics of Jon and Kate at the yard sale. Kate is grabbing the arm of one girl, as if trying to keep her from going with Jon. http://www.tmz.com/2014/10/26/jon-kate-gosselin-reunite-yard-sale-pictures/
Jon showed up and spent time with his children and there was nothing TFW could do about it. Glad to know we weren't punked. Thanks for those who shared. The photos give your renditions credibility.
Maybe he was looking for more disks to pass on to robert. Snark
And maybe her tax accountant made it clear to her that it would make more sense to donate the profit. Probably spoke to him/her AFTER she said "portion". too strange that now it's ALL PROFITS
I find it interesting to read that TFW was actually pleasant to people at her yard sale. Of course it was just for filming, trying to reform her b$tch-on-wheels persona. Not gonna work. I saw her at the Baltimore Book Fair, with no cameras, and she has Steve running interference, keeping people away from her. No way would she have lowered herself to interacting with the unwashed masses unless TLC demanded it.
I find the recent stories about Mama June to be beyond disturbing. Her BF molested Anna, and now she's bringing him around Alana? Alana is about the same age that Anna was when he molested her, and also the age of the other girl he was convicted of molesting. How can June, as a mother, ever take a chance like that with her daughter's well-being? Sugar Bear needs to get his daughter out of that house and away from her mother ASAP. June is not making good choices. It all reinforces the freak show that TLC has become.
Seriously, does TFW ever stop to think that she is now in the same category as the HBB family? Not to mention the guy who has sex with his car and the woman who eats her hair follicles. TLC's line-up includes My Five Wives, My 600-pound Life. Sex Sent Me To The ER, and…Kate Plus 8. It's the modern-day version of the old circus side-show freaks, and she has signed herself and the kids up to be part of that. How revolting.
In fairness, I want to clarify a couple of things.
(My ex has BPD and is a narcissist. I am very well versed in these emotional shape shifters. I'm not here to diagnose anyone, I just went to report the interactions between Kate and the public.)
First, I was there at the very end of the sale. There was literally nothing of value left, and everyhing was being packed up (tables, crew, etc.). When I spoke to Kate there were not many people left either. I asked about the donation and she looked over to see if there was anyone over in the paying area to take it, but she said the register (or box or whatever) had been packed up. I suppose I could have just handed her cash, and I am certain that if she was just looking to make a buck she would have pocketed my donation on the sly.
Again, she apologized that there was nothing left and I asked for a pic with her. That's when she said "Sure, but no pics of/with the kids." I took this to mean no posing WITH the kids, as people (as stealthy as they thought they were being) were quite obviously taking many pics of the kids playing. No one intervened nor asked them to stop. The kids did not acknowledge these gawkers, and did not really look at them.
Kate took time to ask me questions, and conversed. It was not a pic & done thing. I was fully expecting her to be get a pic & move on, but this was not the case. As we were talking a couple of the girl tups did come up and hug her, and seemed to be politely waiting to say something to her. I thought one looked tired - and I am sure by then they all were tired. It was cool out, and the kids were playing hard (not to mention they had been there for hours). That's when she said she needed to round everyone up, as they were done for the day. No cameras, no drama. She just needed to make sure she got everyone together. It was just...normal.
I did not see Jon while I was there. Since the sale was pretty much done and they were packing up by 1:00, there is the possiblity that the kids could spend the rest of the day/weekend with Jon. The sale was very close to Kate's home, so maybe they went home to change & go out with him later. Who knows?

There could be no better handle for that guy than the Flying Monkey. Too funny Chef! Speaking of which, or better, speaking of witch, is that his jacket she's wearing in the photo where she's grabbing Leah? It looks too big for Kate.
Re" The Honey Boo Boo Show - On SNL last night in talking about the show recently being cancelled "even though convicted sex offenders are the show's key demographic".

For those saying Jon could prevent filming of the kids on his w/e's if he wanted to -- probably not. The court already ruled in at least one instance that filming takes precedence over his custody time (Australia trip).
Rhymes, I've had a Google account for several years, and have no problems posting on either IE or Chrome.
Thanks, NJGal. I got bored with the G saga and took a bit of a break here, but I miss y'all. I've got several posts/comments to catch up on. That'll keep me busy for a few days.
And those couple of pictures on TMZ show the real Kate.
Ok, I'm a believer now- thanks everyone for the TMZ link. Yes, Kate is pulling on Alexis' arm as if to get her to come with her, away from Jon, yet Alexis looks like she plans to stay with her dad. And I agree, that big jacket looks 'mediocre' on Kate, not fitted couture lol.
It's good to see there IS photographic evidence that Jon was at the yard sale.
Pics....so it happened! lol
According to TFW, she said that a portion would go to ARL. If she decided to give 100%, I believe this was already the intention. It's part of the episode - just more TLC BS
--------------
It has been since reported that all proceeds will go to the shelter and that the unsold items will be donated to charity.
Well, I stand corrected, there is the pap pic. That pic of the girls between the two of them with TFW trying to pull her away perfectly depicts the situation. It could be an editorial cartoon...
Given TFW's history of selling family heirlooms/notalgic pieces I wouldn't blame him for making sure no such things were on the selling block.

Looks like Jon WAS there...and check out the death grip TFW has on one of the tups. http://www.tmz.com/2014/10/26/jon-kate-gosselin-reunite-yard-sale-pictures/
-----------------
I don't see a death grip. It looks like she's holding her arm. Her daughter isn't wincing in pain. Is there another photo that shows she's really grabbing her?
A "death grip" is the one that Jamie had on one of the younger boys after he allegedly whacked his brother.
Since the implosion of J&K+8, neither Jon nor Kate have fared well in their individual pursuits. Is it possible that Jon's appearance at the sale could be the first step in the re-introduction of a J&K scenario? Not as a married couple, obviously, but perhaps a new show focusing on a divorced couple co-parenting their large brood. Let the fireworks begin!
I am wondering myself if I am incredibly astute or if TLC's shenanigans have turned me into a complete conspiracy nut so any laughter or eye-rolling will not hurt my feelings.
Sounds like Mady was helping but not Cara. I do not think the posters who shared reviews were lying; I just can't fathom J & K being within spittin' distance of one another.
-------------------
In the TMZ photos, they are not only within spittin' distance, they are within touchin' distance. Surprising, huh? Will wonders never cease?

I'm not a conspiracy person AT ALL but I think you may be on to something.
Or Auntie that could be the flying monkey's aka Steve's jacket.
Regarding Jon being childish, if he believes Steve was overly involved with Kate while she was still his wife I would say he was showing maturity by not poking rat claws in the snoot. Thirty years later, I am still tempted to claw the eyes out of the woman who (much less publicly) did the same thing with my then-husband.
I wouldn't let her hold my baby not even my dog lol.

Can someone, anyone, please tell me why why why why Yahoo has a story of Kate Gosselin having a garage sale???????? I get my news through Yahoo, because I don't have time to watch the local news. That must be a shocker to Kate's fans that think people who don't like Kate have no lives. I'm interested in the Ebola crisis, local and world news, and even the sad stories about abused animals. I don't give a crap about Kate having a garage sale with items that were scammed by her, and keeping most of the money for her future plastic surgeries.
Maybe Yahoo needs to be informed that thousands of people have garage sales every weekend or better yet write stories about people who dedicate their lives to rescuing abused animals everyday. I know they haven't written a story about the lady who rescued my two dogs from near death and brought them to me! I would love to hear about them and not that POS.
#kateisachild/animalabuser Thought I write that in case some people have forgotten. After all Kate is a phony.
Wow, Kate sure has shocked me. It's been 16 months since she sued the father of her children and it looks like she's totally forgiven him. The woman is a saint, I tell ya.

Fade 78, interesting, maybe we are both weird because I wondered that myself! I thought it was a little strange that he was there with filming going on and everyone around. She can't be successful achieving what she thinks she deserves going it alone and people are going to tire of seeing regular kids doing whatever over and over. Could be, could be...
Looks like Alexis wanted to hang out with Dad
Wow. There are no words. Why in the HADES would a mother BUY her boyfriend who molested her daughter and or molested a 8 year old little girl and allow him to be around her 14 yr. old and 9 yr. old daughters? MJ, he is not into you except for the money. I guess she thinks since he served his prison term that he has paid his debt to society, so as far as she is concerned, he has a clean slate with her, even though he molested her daughter! I believe Anna, aka Chickadee over MJ.
Mama June shown in a picture on TMZ at a car dealership paying cash for not 1, but 2 cars! She said one is for a relative and one for someone else, but didn't say.
TMZ said the someone else's car was delivered to a address which is the same address at MMc's registered sex offender's address where he is living.
She paid 25K CASH for a 07 Nissan and a 09 Nissan and gave the older car to the relative and the newer car to the somebody else.
She said she put all of the earnings made from the show in 3 accounts, one for each one of her daughters. So, she can take money out of them at anytime. She is control.
Spending Alana's money.

I've got it. In that picture where Kate has hand on Alexis' arm....it's to push her TOWARD Jon, not grab her away from.
Right? Right???? lol
Just tired of the excuses made for him over and over. He may not be as bad as Kate as a person but he's certainly a poor example of a dad. IMO, of course.
&&&&&&&&&&&
Have you ever seen him with his children? I mean, up close and personal, not in photos and not in television episodes? Playing with his kids, the children reaching out to him with open arms? Jon with his children on field trips, having a blast, just being a dad? Jon hugging his kids, holding their hands, one child running to him because she fell and was hurt and he dried her tearst? Jon comforting his kids?
If he's a poor example of a dad, then I haven't seen it.

@ConcernedChick @A1ouette @Kateplusmy8 @TLC Too bad their only chance to interact w/other kids is on a playground while filming. #alaDionnes
I wonder if these people think that the kids sit alone at school, in a vacuum, never interacting with other kids and just with their teachers, shunned and isolated and cut off from their peers.
I get my news through Yahoo, because I don't have time to watch the local news.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&
If you get your news through Yahoo, then you are also getting the blow-by-blow description of the Duggar girl's pregnancy, its gender, photos of her baby bump; Beyonce's mom stealing the red carpet; Hank being blackmailed by a transgender; the New York Halloween parade for dogs, and clown terror spreading in France.
I guess it's there because people find gossip interesting, along with the other inane "news" they post. It offers one the option not to click on it.

Since the implosion of J&K+8, neither Jon nor Kate have fared well in their individual pursuits. Is it possible that Jon's appearance at the sale could be the first step in the re-introduction of a J&K scenario? ...
I am wondering myself if I am incredibly astute or if TLC's shenanigans have turned me into a complete conspiracy nut so any laughter or eye-rolling will not hurt my feelings.
______________________________
No eye-rolling from me, fade. I had similar thoughts. The kids have been so indoctrinated into their lives being filmed, some of them probably don't hate it. And the school situation has obviously stabilized. These things, and finances, may cause Jon to be less reluctant to have them filmed, especially now that they are old enough to express their opinions about it. They are still too young to understand they are being exploited, but every parent knows that once kids start voicing their own opinions, it definitely creates a different dynamic in decision making.
I'm afraid all hope is lost for those kids as far as filming. It will be interesting to see how things turn out.
I'm guessing Jon may also feel like the battle has been lost with filming. Many of us do after all. The best thing he can do is try to make the best of the situation and do his best to give the kids a positive environment. I also think it's kind of clever to show up when they are filming. They either won't be able to film the kids when they are with him or spend a ton of money blurring his face which is incredibly expensive.
I wonder whose idea it was to say no pics with the kids. It's good but I wonder if that came from the kids themselves or even Jon.
It is kind of ironic too. No pics but put them on TV to millions? There's a real disconnect there.
Kate just doesn't want to lose money on photo opps with the kids which she couldn't very well do these days. There are pics now on Radar and TMZ of a few of them plus the local paper. Probably as one poster who attained stated, many people took pictures without asking.I think she has no qualms about photos, just doesn't want the flack on Twitter or word out she 'allowed' it ( or charged for it as I'm sure was a regret in her mind)Filming, pshaw, she is doing the 'best for the kids' to allow them to live off that silver platter. Obviously Jon can't, right? I would be sad if the guess by a couple of you that Jon is now agreeing/participating in filming is true.
radar comments... mama dee 37 min ago why does she need a body guard? Marie Sea mama dee • 5 minutes ago
There have been numerous threats against her and the kids. Twitter is full of them. Let's face it one bodyguard is not that big a deal these days.
First off, why the hell is Kate wearing a man's jacket and wearing no makeup? Was this to impress everyone she is a "mediocre" person? Or needs the money so she had to dress down, way down.
The ROL story made it sound like everything is wonderful in Gosselinland. But we know how it went down: Jon took nothing off Steve and Jon was there to see his kids, maybe the only way he could see them this weekend.
And that picture of Kate with her talons on the girl tup? Definitely trying to stop that child from doing something. I think she was INCENSED that Jon showed up and could not do a thing about it because it was public. And besides, TLC invited the paps. I am thrilled Jon showed up and there's no way TLC would ever have anything to do with him again, so I doubt there is any working relationship. Jon took advantage of the situation and I love that he did.
And yes, there will be a clip of poor, tired Kate packing up. Thanks for letting us know, Anon, that she left and the crew cleaned up. TYPICAL. And I bet Steve drove his second family home. I bet that won't be shown, LOL.
In one of the photos Jon is at one of the sale tables. At first I thought he was off in the playground with the kids.He and Kate must have interacted.
Wonder if Jon himself will be in the specials? Will he be paid?

Here's a case of damned if she does, damned if she doesn't. If she showed up in full makeup, designer jeans and boots, gorgeous sweater, she'd be accused of putting on the airs, and if she can afford clothing like that, then why is she having a garage sale.
PA Dutch Mom, thank you for the bits of real.reality that you are willing and able to share. It is consistent with what I saw before I stopped watching the show.
Having seen the pictures on TMZ I have to say, TCFW looks awful but Jon looks great! Don't know what transpired with regard to TCFW's hand on the tup girl so will not comment on that. I will comment on TCFW's hair and speak directly to her as we know she reads here. Please, please I beg of you. If you are going to wear long hair, you need to have it cut in layers. The long, stringly look does nothing for you. Also, your roots. I'm a medicore person who gets my roots done every six weeks. With your money, you could afford to get them done every week. Get on it girl. Not a good look.
This says it all in a different light....working together?? I think not.

The Daily Mail has a couple of pictures of Steve and Kate that weren't posted on ROL or TMZ. Kate doesn't look too happy in them, wonder if she was looking at Jon and the kids.
Steve must be going for a new look. No blue shirt and jeans. Now he's wearing a black top and cargo pants.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2808619/Awkward-Kate-Gosselin-s-face-says-ex-husband-Jon-shows-yard-sale-amid-reports-evicted-home.html
In the Daily Mail photos, Kate has a WTF expression on her face as Jon approaches the table. Steve lurks in the background with an odd look on his face. Kate looks really angry in yet another yard sale photo. So you know what? I'm kinda inclined to think he showed up unannounced. And stayed...and stayed and stayed. Good for him.

Native PA Lady - thanks for sharing your personal story about the sale, and about seeing Jon there playing with the kids. Color me shocked that Kate was able to be pleasant and cheerful to all the buyers with Jon so close by. I would never have expected her to be able to do so.
I think having Steve nearby helps keep her balanced. And for all I know, maybe she took some meds today to also keep her mood balanced. She might also be riding a little high on the hope/belief that with Here Comes HBB completely off the air, TLC might put her back on in some regular fashion - that thought would probably make her downright gleeful.
I'm glad that the kids seemed to be having fun.
Jeremy said... 5
How did people on this board decide that they KNEW this was Jon's weekend? I would think the opposite, that if it was his weekend, regardless of filming, she has to meet the visitation agreement.
I would have no problem with the "don't tell my kids what to do" if he had the same response to Carla, the crew, etc. and I clearly have no idea if he did indeed tell every other adult at the sale that they should not tell his kids what to do. But if he singled out one person, I find that childish. My opinion.
****
Jeremy - but that doesn't make sense. Steve was the one who came over and told Jon that their mother wanted them to stop playing and come over where she was. Jon then responded by telling him to bug off. Do you have info that Carla and others also came over to try to tell Jon how to handle the children?
Jon acted just as I would do in a similar situation. If it were my ex's visitation week-end and I happened upon him and my son out somewhere, and my son and I began talking together, and then my ex's girlfriend came over and said "Your ex wants son to stop talking with you now and come over to him" --- I would politely tell her that I'm not done talking yet, but if ex wants to discuss something with me, he ought to come on over.
Steve has no role vis-a-vis Jon and his kids. He is a bodyguard for a woman who doesn't need one. He deserved the smack down.
To me, the saddest comment made about the garage sale, was that Jon and 5 of the tups were playing together at the church's playground. That means that poor Collin still is not able to visit with his father, even in a very public place, among many people. Kate sure does have a strong hold on that boy..wonder what she did to gain complete control over the poor little guy?
Kate's hair. The length and the cut are terrible, but I don't think that she doesn't wash it or that it's greasy from dirt and oil. I think that it's so over-bleached and fried that she uses products/conditioners so that it doesn't appear so much like straw and the result is that it looks greasy and over-moisturized.

Here's a case of damned if she does, damned if she doesn't. If she showed up in full makeup, designer jeans and boots, gorgeous sweater, she'd be accused of putting on the airs, and if she can afford clothing like that, then why is she having a garage sale.
________________
I disagree. There is such a thing as a happy medium. Her roots are terrible and her hair is so greasy. And she needs many inches cut off and some layers. And she could have worn some lipstick...there are many brands that last for hours too. And I bet that is Steve's coat. Look at the very long sleeves. Otherwise, I think she dressed fine for the event.
Everyone is saying she looks bad because of her hair and washed out make-up. No, she would look silly with a full blown make-up job in broad daylight. Nobody said she needs designer clothes and a professional make-up job. Again, she could have easily struck a better look without overdoing it at all.
TMZ has proof that June bought 2 used cars at the dealership, with the older one going to her daughter, and the newer one being delivered to Mark's house. (They don't name the source though...but they have been right about all the rest, so I would assume their source is legit

Why do you assume that Collin was the child that was not there?
(Leslie)
I would bet money that Jon's showing up was the only way available he had to keep them from filming his children. TLC would have to get his permission to film him and the kids playing. SMART MOVE JON!
_______________
Why would TLC need his permission to film him and his kids? I don't understand this. They had signs up all over the event stating if you don't want to be filmed then stay out the way of the cameras.
I am curious if TLC will show him on Kate's show. Kate may demand that they not give him any camera time. Or maybe TLC will not want to give him any camera time based on their own decision.
All this and that (110) -- I agree, and would add that the overall look points to overuse (perhaps misapplication) of extensions.
You aren't supposed to wash them all that often, which means it's not very long before your bouncing and behaving blow-out looks stringy and flat. Hair products sit on the surface, adding to the slick, greasy appearance.
Extensions hang different that human hair, And they do very real damage to your own hair over time--as evidenced by Kate's broken edges (receding hairline, chewed edges).
It truly is a tail-chasing beauty ritual. Done right, they're expensive, and the maintenance costs are huge.
I still can't believe Kate didn't put much makeup on considering the fact she was being filmed AND knew she'd be having her picture taken by the mediocre attendees. I wouldn't expect full studio makeup, but she certainly could have done better than she did (if at all). The hair, I'll give her a pass on.

I don't usually comment on Katie's hair but she really needs a stylish cut if she's going to wear it long. I agree about the overprocessing and product use.
One could call it karma as she brought it on herself.
I would like to say I am truly sorry to the posters I doubted. The
pictures have proven you right, and proven me wrong. Please
accept my sincere apologies.
I didn't see Hannah in any pictures but Collin was quoted in the paper. Who knows which tup was not in the playground? Hopefully that child did get in on some playtime with their dad. Don't know about Cara. I also think Kate looked ok ( not great but who cares) for a yard sale but that it is part of her 'mediocre mom' look she is using to explain how she is just like other moms doing what she has to , to put food on the table.
Been sick, so behind in reading here. Did TLC play a new episode the last week or so, and does anyone know the ratings it got, thanks.

I can't tell what the hell the situation is in Gosselinland anymore. It reminds me of the old soap opera days where at the end of the show they'd cue the organ music and a narrator would tease the viewers with various scenarios. Tune in tomorrow to find out if the shrew sneaks away for a tropical vacay with the flying monkey...
It enrages me to know that TLC is getting wealthier and wealthier by pumping out reality shows of an almost dystopian part of society and now that Discovery Communications has created a new position for Eileen O'Neill as global group president it makes me even more uncomfortable. Where will she strike next? She's almost like President Coriolanus Snow in the Hunger Games.
Flimsy, wanna come sit with me in the riff raff seats?

I don't know why that title made me laugh but it did.

I remember a picture of all three boys early that morning. I wonder if he only stayed a while just enough to get him on camera and then he was taken back to the compound to take care of those dag nabbed clucking chickens!
Did he get ANY PLAY TIME with his DADDY?
That poor baby!
Prairie you've missed a lot and yet you've missed nothing. Welcome back!
They haven't aired any of the new episodes yet but they're in the midst of filming. It feels like it's been a lot of filming, but most of us don't care anymore. Rat claws got a new and better name, the flying monkey, and we helped Joy with what to do about her eggplant.
I think we will have to see if they blur Jon out. If they don't I can only assume he agreed to be filmed. On that day, I will change my stance.
Speaking of filming whatever happened to Celebrity Apprentice???
IT's going to be really interesting to see if they will finally dust that off someday. It feels like ancient history now.
Of all the things TFW has done that is the ONLY one I would be disappointed to not see.
There is a medium as far as her hair and makeup. Why didn't she put on some lipstick and blush? Pull the hair back? And wearing that jacket? Obviously Steve's. Are they in high school going steady? The woman has tons of nice fitting jackets. She's been photographed wearing them.
And I do believe Jon was NOT invited to the yard sale. Her expression in that photo says it all.
Also please notice that Mady stuck close to Kate.
Well, hello has frozen.
Mama June and her RSO boyfriend were shopping for houses and here is a picture of MJ, Alana and MMc coming down a set of stairs in a house. MJ is sitting on the stairs and her shoe is untied, Alana is behind her standing up with each hand on the walls and MMc is behind her looking down the hall of the second floor with his HANDS on her back!

I totally agree, and she completely missed the happy medium yesterday.
I've seen her hit the happy medium, though it's rare. Do you remember the speech she did in Australia? I think it was at the auction. If I recall she was in black, but it was a very classy dress. Not skanky or anything, and her hair and makeup looked good. And I said so. That's what I think most of us mean by happy medium. I bet she had a stylist that night.
I don't know why that title made me laugh but it did.

It does. I'm making tin foil hats as we speak.
I went to ROL and where you click to see the pictures of the yard sale they won't come up. I clicked on the 1 and they won't come up. They never have on any article that I have tried this.
Does anyone know what to do? I use IE, so I went on Chrome and it did the same thing. thanks.
Like Flimsy, I am also sorry for doubting the reports from posters. I just couldn't fathom the sudden appearance of Jon ( and Carla) and that Kate was NICE to people!! But I did appreciate the posts nonetheless and now that they are obviously true, I tip my hat to you all.
This year was lucrative for Kate , with the new specials, CA, and whatever else she has done- a few dollars in cookbook royalties?
I believe it is a tax write off to donate part of the proceeds to a charity.
redbirdsings, I can see the photos just fine. And I use Google Chrome. In the picture where she's holding the baby, you can see about 3-4 months of root grow-out. I have a little gray streak at my part and color because of that, but use my natural color, so I don't have different roots all over. Her real hair color is not bad. If I was her, I would color it all back to my normal color and maybe throw some highlights in for depth. It would be a lot less maintenance. And then I'd cut it - she can really rock a short haircut very well, but even a medium haircut would look better than that long, long hair. Long and straight hair just drags people down.
Of course she acted nice. She was being paid to film a yard sale! And if she gives more than ten bucks to any charity, I'll eat my shoes.
Now in the past, even being filmed and paid well didn't make her act nicely, but perhaps it's finally gotten through her thick noggin that this really is her last shot and that she needs to milk the TLC thing harder this time. Act nicer. Etc. Even a narcissist can do what they need to do to make money and stay in their beloved spotlight.
I am happy that Anna lives in a different state. I wonder if the move made it easier for June to dance her way around the child molestation. I hope Alana us safe. I was raped at a young age. My heart goes out to Anna because her mother did not believe her and to Alana who may be the next target. My mother did not believe me either.
Thanks, Admin, glad to be back:)
I must have had a high fever then, because I was so sure she was listed as having a new episode listed on TLC guide, last week sometime. Should not be, but am surprised that The Flying Monkey had to guard her for her yard sale. Delusional, as usual.
I believe it is a tax write off to donate part of the proceeds to a charity.
&&&
Yes, it is, as long as you itemize. Most people with a mortgage itemize. Although if your goal is the writeoff, you are better off donating the items directly and then assessing the write off value yourself.
That way you don't run into the "I'll give you a quarter" people who reduce your write off. In other words, just because a guy will only give you a quarter doesn't mean the fair market value isn't 20 bucks.
I don't think she was concerned about a write off but it's an added bonus for her. She is likely making many thousands more just from her salary to stand out there and be nice.
One of the problems with Celebrity Apprentice is that Joan Rivers died. You know that they like you to think that it's happening as you watch it and that the winner hasn't already been determined. This is the first year that I can remember where there were so many spoiler pictures that it kind of blew the surprise element of the show.
Redbirdsings - Every time you refer to June as MJ it takes me a moment to realize that you're not talking about Michael Jackson.

Yes very true I do feel like a lot of it has been spoiled, however I was thinking maybe the fact that Joan Rivers passed might make it more likely they will air it, because this was one of her last major projects if not the last. For Joan Rivers fans it would be a real shame not to see this.
I always thought that Kate was super cute with her bob or with short hair.

First off, why the hell is Kate wearing a man's jacket
_________
I bet she got it off her flying monkey.
Saw the pics of Kate. Oh my, she is not aging well. She looks 10 years older than her 39 years.
This is all in my opinion and thinking out loud! That jacket that kate is wearing has to be Steve's. It looks like something she grabbed out of his closet in the garage apt. to wear to me. I believe he stays in the garage apt. To me, her wearing that jacket is a complete very stinging slap in Gina's face. It's like they are in high school and they are going steady, like she is wearing his class ring.
If I were Gina, I would divorce him, if she hasn't already. I know you can seal divorces. They are public record in my area and anyone off the street can just walk into the courthouse and go and ask for a certain couple's divorce records, they go back and get them and you can read them, but not mark on them with a pencil or pen and you can not make a copy of them. But you can make notes from them.
I actually know someone who does this every so often when people in town get divorced they are so nosy and want to find out what happened and who got what in the divorce. So in order to avoid that and it getting out what happened, have the divorce sealed.
I wonder if some of the major renovation included a door from kates room to the garage apt or a balcony from her room connected to the garage apt. so they could go back and forth like that instead of from inside the house. JMO OR, have the kids have had to accept seeing him walk in and out of her bedroom or even see them together in there. JMO/Thinking out loud.
"Why do you assume that Collin was the child that was not there?"
Of course I am wrong to assume that, even though he is the one who hasn't visited with Jon for months and months..from Jon's own mouth. Of course, I am sure he most likely had a change of heart on Saturday, and visited with his father, and one of his other siblings also had a change of heart, and decided to not visit with Jon. Dumb assumption by me.

Seriously, this is effed up
@Andrea
So very sorry that this happened to you. Even worse that your mother didn't believe you. With June, I'm truly disgusted. She's lied on that video claiming her children are not in danger and the rumors of her with thia piece of shit are not true, therefore she KNOWS and ACKNOWlEDGES he is a danger. Then there's documented proof that he IS in the presence of children, HER OWN! She then also spits in the face of her own daughter and dates the man that sexually assaulted her as a child! What the f#&* is wrong with her?? Is this man even legally permitted to be around children?
Again, so very sorry Andrea
I know she is photographed quite a lot. Still I am alarmed by the photographic evidence of her physical aggression towards her children.
Winsomeone said... 146
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No, it was not a dumb assumption at all! It well could have been Collin not with the others and Kate bribed him to stay with her to talk to the newspaper.Or threatened him somehow. Maybe he was dying to see his dad. I never believed that was his choice not to. I think maybe Hannah was the missing tup as there was no photo of her and you know she is usually right by Kate's side, with Leah. I hope Collin did get to see Jon and also that future visits are not compromised.
I mean I could be wrong and this is just my interpretation, but with both parents present, what is the arm grab about, she's not protecting her daughter.
I really think its important that children learn not to put their hands on others in aggression.
As far as I could tell Steve was wearing a black jacket at the yard sale. TFW may have forgotten to bring something and any number of people could have loaned her a jacket OR it could have been an old one of Jon's that she was selling at the yard sale. Being the "hot flash queen", I personally don't like anything form fitting and I've got a similar jacket that I absolutely love. It's comfortable and loose fitting. I can't believe that I'm defending her!
It's sad that Robert's book has not had a significant impact on anything in the Gosselin world. She's still getting paid a ridiculous amount of money when there is proof of her abuse out there.
PJ
reader, I thought maybe the kid who is being grabbed was trying to take something back from the table, and Kate was trying to retrieve it. In one picture, that same girl has nothing in her hands, but in that picture, both her hands are full. I don't see it as manhandling, the kid has a very neutral expression on her face, with her hand pulled away, and nobody's knuckles are really clenched, nor does anyone look angry. Anyway....just my opinion
I mean, since Collin was there, he probably would get to play with the others, while filming was going on or Kate would look bad. Maybe one tup just wasn't spotted because maybe they took it in shifts to help at the sale. I know you are being sarcastic, Winsomeone, and I agree with you- just hope that Collin did get to see Jon.
As far as I could tell Steve was wearing a black jacket at the yard sale. TFW may have forgotten to bring something and any number of people could have loaned her a jacket
++++++++++++++++++++++
I think that she didn't realize that it's cold here early in the morning and someone obviously gave her a jacket. But then again, how could that be since she's the queen of organization? Wouldn't you think someone this organized would have extra jackets in the car for each one of them?
As far as Kate's greasy hair. I'm not sure it's dirty. I think she's over conditioning it. That said, Kate always seems to look dirty (her face, neck) and the hair is always stringy. I'm not sure if she doesn't shower or if she just has really oily skin.
This is all in my opinion and thinking out loud! That jacket that kate is wearing has to be Steve's. It looks like something she grabbed out of his closet in the garage apt. to wear to me. I believe he stays in the garage apt.
++++++++++++++++++
Why would she go into the garage apartment to get one of his jackets when she could have gotten her own out of her closet in the house? Are you saying she has no jackets of her own?
How terribly confusing for those children. One parent says NO FILMING EVER and then shows up at.....filming. Such a mixed message.
*sigh* It's a tragedy all the way around.
I'm sorry, but I'm late to the party. Where is this photo, please?

@organics2014 @luvinglife1979 @Kateplusmy8 I doubt they're co-parenting. Did you see pic of her viciously grabbing Leah away from her Dad?
Yes, donating to charity is a tax write off but if you make a ton of money, the write off does not help with your taxes. I don't know what the income level is, but she has plenty, so this charity donation is of no use to her other than publicity.

I think Steve stays there and has clothes there. She has plenty of jackets. She may have forgot to get a jacket because she had on a sweater. Either someone gave her a jacket, but I just don't see her wearing just anyone's jacket. Or Steve had an extra one.
But if that was Steve's jacket and kate had it on, more humiliation for Gina.
So if she gets up early every morning, as she claims, to drive those kids to the bus stop, she'd know you need a jacket in the morning. And most certainly, that jacket is the flying monkey's. Maybe it's just me, but wearing a man's jacket is kind of an intimate thing? A man's jacket has his scent and it feels, I don't know, like his arms are wrapped around you. Maybe a signal to Gina, I've got your man? I just don't know. It makes no sense she does not have her own jacket on. I still think she was going for the high school girl look wearing her steady's varsity jacket, LOL.
Redbordsings - The garage is detached from the house and unless they built a skywalk there's noway that they could connect it to her bedroom. The jacket may have belonged to a production assistant or any number of people. It really doesn't look like Steve's style (what we've seen of it anyway).
Also, it doesn't look to me like she viciously grabbed the girl's arm nor does she look like she's in pain. So knows why she's holding her but there's no need to get carried away with wild theories.
Just my opinion of course. I could be wrong.
I wonder if some of the major renovation included a door from kates room to the garage apt or a balcony from her room connected to the garage apt. so they could go back and forth like that instead of from inside the house.
***************************
Kind of like the Underground Railroad? If memory serves me, Kate's bedroom is on the first floor; the garage apartment is on the second floor. Why would you build a connecting entrance from a door on the first floor to the garage apartment on the second floor? Moreover, if they are filming this "remodel," I seriously doubt the this would be something to show on national television and have to explain that it's a secret rendezvous entry for the two of them!
On the + side, Kate Gosselin has moved to #2 on worst ever TLC mom list. #kategosselin #MamaJune #HoneyBooBoo
Pj's Mama, you're right no clenching but still physical. It's been a few years for me but I believe I can honestly say I didn't grab unless someone was about to take a tumble.
Of course I wouldn't smack Emeril if he graced my home and prepared dinner for 10 either!
NJGal51, go back and look at A's shirt when kate grabbed her arm. Look at the fabric of the t-shirt how it hard it is pulled, the big stretch lines. A was right there in her face. Why didn't she just talk to her, instead of tugging on her like that.
Totally made up snark: Maybe the reason why she has such a tight grip on the tree house key is because the tree house is where TFW and the Flying Monkey's Shangri-La Retreat is.
Also, it doesn't look to me like she viciously grabbed the girl's arm nor does she look like she's in pain. So knows why she's holding her but there's no need to get carried away with wild theories.
---------------------------------
I'll second that. I was just thinking the same thing.
I think Steve stays there and has clothes there. She has plenty of jackets. She may have forgot to get a jacket because she had on a sweater.
--------------------------
But you said it looks like something she got in Steve's closet in the garage apartment (144) which makes no sense at all. Why would she walk upstairs in the garage and get a jacket from a closet there when she could just grab one of her own jackets in her downstairs closet?

There is no "death grip." Please stop with the blatant exaggerations. The child doesn't look the least bit upset and Kate's hands are not curled around her arm.

@Kateplusmy8 I think it's great you and Jon r co parenting. He looks great. Will we see him on new shows?
Uh, I kind of doubt it! :)
I didn't see anything wrong that photo, either. It looked like TFW was saying, 'hang on a sec', 'wait a minute'; or something else benign. Jon's body language looked relaxed, as did the girl's.

Yes. It's kind of a stupid request not to let the kids get photographed when she brought them for display purposes. Did she just make that rule up when Jon arrived?
Realitytvkids.com (Administrator) said... 96
I wonder whose idea it was to say no pics with the kids. It's good but I wonder if that came from the kids themselves or even Jon.
It is kind of ironic too. No pics but put them on TV to millions? There's a real disconnect there.
===============================================================
Filming is bad enough. Can you even begin to imagine how awful it would be for them to have to be subjected to posing and smiling and worse from strangers all day long? The kids were happily playing & running about. Whoever made the rule, kudos to them in my book! Again, people were allowed to take pics, just not pose with them. And for the records, all six tups were there when I was there.
There were adults playing with the kids – male and female. If any of them was Jamie or her other friend I would not have recognized them. I figured they probably hired some security as the area was right on a rural road. Steve was standing off in the area near where you cross the street, not too far from the playground but definitely not within reach of the kids so I don’t think he was there to protect them. Also, as I mentioned before, there was a police officer in an SUV present.
I have to say that I must disagree with Jon if he truly did tell Steve that he could not communicate with the kids for TFW. I promise you this will come back to haunt him. My husband’s ex thought this was a great plan when she pulled it on us. Never mind how her constant badmouthing us to the kids hurt them. My hubby & I had to stick to our rules, and if that meant they made excuses not to come over, well, that was their choice. After a while it got better, and we struck a balance. Kids need limits, and even they know it (somewhere way, way down inside). But guess what happened when the ex met someone (whom she married)? The kids had learned very well from her & put her fiancé/husband through the same stuff. As much as I love karma, we love the kids more. Hubby talked to the kids and insisted that they treat the new hubby with respect. I am happy to report that everyone is doing well 10 years later.
All This Is That said... 14
Just re-read posts. Took One for the Team clearly stated that she saw Kate round up kids into the BBB . So whoever decided that it was Jon's weekend seems to be basing this on conjecture
Anonymous said... 60
the kids did leave with Jon in the old BBB. Whoever said they saw Kate packing up could have been for filming. Because I know she did not clean up her tables or move the leftovers. A crew did that.
Yikes. The camera crew was busy elsewhere, saw some people with headphone things on, but no cameras in site, not microphones, etc. Others started breaking down the tables, and packing things up while Kate was over on the playground talking with the older couple and then some fans (and me). I never saw Kate pack up anything. Then again, I left after she said she needed to gather the kids up, though I believe a couple other people approached her to talk.
I made my way back across the street to my car which was facing a corn field. I made a couple of phone calls, set my GPS so I could find my way out of there, and then left. In all honesty it could have been Jon & his BBB the kids got in. Maybe I assumed it was Kate’s BBB & it was Jon’s? It was big. It was blue. Kids were going to it. I assumed it was Kate’s (and YES, I know the old saying about assuming). No, I did not stick around to see them drive away, as that would border on creepy, and I was already feeling very creepy as it was! Sorry if I was confused & caused confusion!

===========================================
Thank you, Tucker’s! I was beginning to worry! I think it will be a very long while before I volunteer myself for anything like this again! Ha!
All I hope is that Kate can see that people will respond positively to her if she behaves in a positive manner. It’s never too late to change (though I have been accused of being the eternal optimist many a time).

--------------------
Nobody is in anyone's face and Kate isn't tugging on her...unless I'm looking at the wrong picture. Which one are you looking at?
These speculations, or exaggerations or wild theories or whatever you want to call them are really getting out of hand.
Sorry Redbirdsings but I just don't see what you see in that picture. TFW's fingers don't even looked tensed to me. She may have just snagged a bit of the shirt from the chest/collar area and that would probably cause it to pull like that. The child does not look like she's in pain nor does she look like she's trying to pull away. John looks relaxed. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.

Is this snark, or are you really serious about this?
(Leslie)
I don't think Kate was super friendly because she was being filmed. She has been filmed on and off since 2006 and was a bitch many, many times on the program. And she was also a bitch out in public for the past eight years too.
I think Jon showing up put her on her best behavior. She knows that he is super friendly with the locals and well liked among them. She probably feared he would be very chatty with the folks and show her up. So being competitive and never the one to let somebody else (Jon) out do her she was playing his game of being super friendly to the locals. I really believe this was the strongest factor driving her to be so outgoing and friendly on Saturday.
Sana, I wasn't the only one to say death grip. Everyone has their own interpretation, so I guess we will have to agree to disagree.
Marsha Strassman, who starred on Welcome Back, Kotter died Sunday. She was also in M*A*S*H as Nurse Cutler. She was 66 years old.

------------------------------------
I disagree. For me the problem is WHERE she is holding the girl. To get someone's attention, I would touch them on the hand or shoulder. A hand around the upper arm seems more like a policeman escorting a suspect or a kidnapper with a victim. "Come along with me now, and don't make a fuss if you know what's good for you."
On the other hand, you're right that the child is not grimacing. Maybe she hasn't tightened the hold, but the threat is there.
I know it sound overdramatic, but who grabs someone by there upper arm? I certainly don't.
I think the kids are old enough and intelligent enough not to take aeay any mixed messages from this. They are perfectly capable of understanding their father objects to filming but that it's not going to stop him from seeing them even if they happen to be filming. What I think would be confusing is to risk them feeling like he is punishing them by not seeing them because they are filming.
A ten and a half year old can certainly understand why a parent who hates rollar coasters still wants to come along with you to Six Flags. Same concept.
Except there's no morality involved with being afraid of roller coasters. Not the same thing at all. I feel trivializing it makes it seem unimportant.
I think those kids probably know a lot more than what they'll say but it's still gotta be mighty confusing to them. I stand by that.
Thank you to the posters who provided stories from the yard sale. Did any of you see any of Kate's own clothes or shoes in the sale? I saw a picture with lots of kids' clothes, but I'm curious if she included her own.
Jon being at the sale is pretty interesting. I'm looking forward to admin's recap if/when the episode is aired to see if he is shown and in what context.
The Mama June situation makes me sick to my stomach. How can she possibly be seeing not only a child molester but a child molester who molested her own child and another relative? And then to expose another one of her children to him? The whole thing is inexcusable and downright disgusting. I've never seen the show but I've read in previous discussions about her on this site that she had good relationships with her children. I imagine being with him has irreparably changed the relationship she had with the daughter he molested.
Andrea, I'm going to second Vanessa and say I'm sorry for what happened to you and especially that your mom didn't believe you.
Kate's ill-fitting clothes? Well, she's skinny but here's my theory and we'll see if this is what happened. To insure drama, they decided to pretend Kate overslept for the yard sale: thus, no makeup, straight yucky hair, baggy clothes, borrowed jacket. I suppose for $40k I would appear like that in public too, LOL.
Grabbing the tup by the arm? Why does she do that? Was the kid about ready to hurt herself? These kids aren't toddlers anymore. I agree she wasn't hurting the child or keeping the child from Jon, I just think she is physical with the kids and so the kids are physical with each other. She won't get away with this much longer.
I really don't think Jon's purpose in showing up was to be filmed. I think he wanted simply to see his kids, particularly since Kate has been keeping some of them away from him. I would do the same. The yard sale was public. As long as he wasn't being paid by TLC to be a part of the show, I think I understand his motives. He is their father and Kate will never be able to change that.
The jacket? How many times have we seen her in the middle of winter with no coat, open toe shoes etc.? She's just strange in that dept is all. She got cold and borrowed someone's jacket

There's zero doubt in my mind that this sale was for an episode and meant to remold Kate's image.
Of course, it's deflection, too. Look at how generous the Gosselins are pay no attention to the cameras in the kids' faces.
We write off our donations, and the deduction adds up to several hundred dollars. It's about 1/3 the amount of what you donate.
For Kate's sale, she'll get to claim her cash donation to the ARL and I've no idea if that works in her tax bracket.
Wow, I didn't think Jon would show up at the yard sale!
It looks like he showed up towards the end.
I wonder if the cameras were still there?
Anyway, the pics look happy and relaxed, and omg, Kate and Jon were physically closer than they've been for years. I wonder how that made Kate feel!
She had nowhere to hide and had to put up with his physical presence.
I wonder what Skeve said to Jon? hmm...
Jon looks good. Def. not homeless ;-)

So very sorry that this happened to you. Even worse that your mother didn't believe you. With June, I'm truly disgusted. She's lied on that video claiming her children are not in danger and the rumors of her with thia piece of shit are not true, therefore she KNOWS and ACKNOWlEDGES he is a danger

TMZ is pretty amazing. It's like the National Enquirer- even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then, and even gossip rags can break HUGE stories that have profound impact.
I'm just catching up with this HBB and June story, but if June really is seeing a child molester AND has her little girl around him, she's worse scum than I though.

I am so, so sorry.
We know that putting young kids on tv like June and the Gosselins did/do puts them at higher risk.
Why this child molester paramour of June's is a story, and a convicted child offender, Blankenship, who had unfettered access to raw footage of children partially dressed and completely exposed, isn't, is beyond me.
Why TLC would respond so strongly to June's story, and practically sweep Bill Blankenship under the rug?

Steve is Kate's manager now.
Let's face it, he's a diminutive, 50-something man who really can not protect Kate and her kids from physical harm.

I think it's all about optics.
Kate believes she is the show. She's the media presence, promotor, appearance maker etc.
It's all about Kate and she's the star, not her kids.
It's nonsensical to disallow photos with the kids, but film them for millions.
BUT, somehow, Kate thinks that it will look like she's working, not the kids, if she disallows photos.
See, the kids are just living their life, running in and out of the frame, dontcha know?
They're not really working (insert eyeball roll).
It is odd, though. Kate put her twins out there and had them directly handle publicity. That didn't go so well...
Plus, Kate can't control what the kids say if they go off and try to handle fans themselves.
She paid 25K CASH for a 07 Nissan and a 09 Nissan and gave the older car to the relative and the newer car to the somebody else.
She said she put all of the earnings made from the show in 3 accounts, one for each one of her daughters. So, she can take money out of them at anytime. She is control.
Spending Alana's money.

**********
This is why most people who come into a lot of money wind up penniless.
Unless HBB has money put away for her that no one can ever, ever touch, then I think she'll wind up with nothing when she comes of age, or emancipates herself.
I happen to believe that no one should put their hands on another person unless that person is in danger to themselves or others or without their permission - even a child.
&&&
I didn't see it as a "grip" on the kid but I do not like how "grabby" Kate has always been with these kids. Other times she directs them around by their heads.
I also am of the belief you don't touch a child. Not like that anyway, unless it's an emergency. Touch should be for affection, not direction. If there is touching, it should be done in an appropriately affectionate way, not as a way to steer or herd children like they are cattle. If you want a child to go a certain way, you ASK them. Especially a 10 year old. She's not TWO.
Riding a rollercoaster won't screw up your childhood for life, though. Being filmed from the second you were born, for sick people's fodder, sold for money, well, that's a completely different story.
&&&&
It was an analogy to explain how a child is well capable of understanding why an adult may choose to be present, but not participate.
It was not an analogy to compare riding a dollar coaster to filming.
Agree to disagree at this point. I do not see Jon showing up at this as "supporting" filming, nor do I think it's confusing for children at this age. I see it as wanting to spend time with his children, nothing more nothing less. Sometimes things just are what they are.
TMZ is pretty amazing. It's like the National Enquirer- even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then, and even gossip rags can break HUGE stories that have profound impact.
&&&
Yep.
This is just proof you can't completely write off tabloids, as Kate loves to do.
I think they get it wrong some of the time, but it's been proven they do get it right some of the time too.
The charitable deduction can actually get better the more money you make:
"if a married couple has a top income tax rate of 35 percent, a $1 deduction will lower their tax bill by 35 cents. If that same couple has a top tax rate of 39.6 percent, a $1 deduction will lower their tax bill by nearly 40 cents, making the deduction more valuable."
There are two BBB. One is the old one which Kate re-gifted to Jon and one is the new Mercedes.
Someone who may not have realized there are two BBB might have just assumed that was Kate's vehicle the kids were getting into.
I have to admit I gave a knee jerk reaction to the photo. Who knows what was happening. It's the history. ..I would probably have the same reaction seeing Bernie Madoff pick up someone's dropped
checkbook.
In all honesty it could have been Jon & his BBB the kids got in. Maybe I assumed it was Kate’s BBB & it was Jon’s? It was big. It was blue.
==================
Then it was Jon's BBB, because Kate's is black. The old BBB is blue. So Jon most likely was there to pick up the kids for his custody time.
Even if TLC didn't film Jon being there, they must be ecstatic that he showed up. It'll work as a tease to get more people to watch the episode to see if Jon will be shown and if there will be any interaction between Kate and Jon. They couldn't ask for better publicity.
I don't think Jon showed up unexpectedly, I think he showed up because he was there to take the kids after the sale was over.
Perhaps it was planned to be that way by Kate and TLC . Kate could've told Jon that it would be more convenient for him to pick up the kids at the yard sale, rather than wait until they all got home.
What a great way to get more publicity for the show.
