Jacob Roloff of Litte People, Big World, one of TLC's longest running reality shows, is all grown up now and has been speaking out. Jacob has refused to film with the family for over a year now.His latest statement addresses fans who keep demanding that he appear on the show again.
Jacob had this to say:
I get comments on here all the time about how people 'miss me on the show' or telling me I should 'do a few more episodes' with the family; I'm posting this to say that that will never happen. For the sake of 'the episode' and ratings I've seen a lot of STORYLINES drawn up (loosely) about our lives, and when I was standing here, behind the scenes and watching it from an outside perspective I just couldn't stop laughing. Laughing at how hard the producers have to try to get us to follow the talking points, and at how ridiculous the talking points are. To misquote Chomsky, "the primary objective of any system is to preserve the integrity of that system", meaning, the primary objective I have felt and observed over the years of the 'crew' is to preserve their job and preserve the ratings, which is up to you to be right or wrong. That's not to say they are all soulless corporate shills or something, there are and have been good people involved but that doesn't negate the fact that they do have their own personal agenda. For me, noticing how the agenda of the crew doesn't work well with the health & happiness of our family is what made me decide quite a while ago that I would not be a part of it as soon as I was able.
.
All in all I appreciate people wanting me to 'be with the family' for a few more episodes, but the family that is filmed is not my family. They are the Roloff Characters and I have scarcely anything in common with them, nor do I want to be a character myself. As soon as the cameras drop however, its almost like they never played the part. 20 minutes after this picture was taken we all, plus friends, had a campfire late into the night. So, I am with my family and I love them I'm just here to say you'll never see that from me on TV again.

True, she implies that they are filming, yet she's tweeting (which she never does when filming)and posting pictures of the puppies (she never shows what's coming up on the show, just teases about something new and says, "You'll have to watch"). It's all very odd. I wonder if they are waiting to resolve contractual issues with the Little Couple show before they put K+8 back on. That could take awhile. But if they put K+8 on without the kind of lead-in it needs, the ratings could be dismal and they may have some decisions to make. I wonder if, as a producer, she has any say in the decisions they are making.
I noticed that the Little Couple were featured on the "I Am" ad. That must have been filmed awhile ago--before the contract problems happened.
In looking at Milo's IG account, I see that she refers to the dog she named Katie Irene as "Miss K." Why the name change Milo?
==============
She calls the women of the family "Miss," as in "Miss Sweet Sixteen." I guess she thinks it's cute or trendy.

I looked at the IAM video. Could anyone make out what is on the sign that Kate tosses away near the end? Teresa Caputo (the oh-so-fake LI Medium) has a sign that says "The Real Deal." Which of course she couldn't be further from. But I couldn't make out what was on Kate's---it was not the same one she holds up earlier, "Proud of this Family."

She's a producer for Figure 8, the production company, no? I cannot believe she would have ANY input into programming decisions made by TLC. That's way above her pay grade.
@Tucker's Mom If they're still filming,how many episodes are there going to be?I would think they'd be done by now seeing as if last year they aired in june or earlier then that.Unless there was problems somewhere in regards to filming.

I have no idea what each "season" entails. Just seems like according to Kate, they're still filming, and I wonder for what?
Why film more when they've got a season in the can?
Sad but true (5)
Good point. She probably wouldn't have any say at all in programming decisions. But the whole situation is very strange. First putting off the show for 3 months (and there's still no air date in sight), plus dumping that unaired episode on YouTube. She acts like everything is fine, but she doesn't seem to have any idea about air dates, and she has not said a word to her fans about the YouTube episode. She has to know it's there.
@Sad but True off topic but i NEVER believe any psychic that asks for money or gets paid like Teresa does.That right there should be enough to scream fraud.Never met a psychic who doesn't get paid so i can't make my opinion of the ones who don't.
Here you go, Gladys. A platitude for you to tweet to Kate:
"Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is you're stupid and make bad decisions."

They seem to be doing 8-episode mini-seasons since the summer of 2014 when they came back with that New England vacay. Of course, no telling if that's still the plan. After all, the 10-year Kate recap never made it to air, so who knows how and what they count?

There have been many stories in the tabs from people who have been interviewed about their past prior to her "readings." She's as fake as they come, but that doesn't seem to bother TLC.
Still no air date for the 10th anniversary special? Will it be airing on the 11th anniversary? That's got to sting. I know TFW got her dough for it, but I'd think it'd bruise her ego to be pushed off the schedule again and again. And Gladys has been too drunk on puppy love to hound TLC about it.
I think Milo is calling her dog Miss K rather than Katie Irene, because Kate was not at all flattered (much to Milo's chagrin) that Milo named a dog after her.
OFF TOPIC
HBO premiered a new, 8 part mini-series tonight - "The Night Of" based on a BBC mini-series "Criminal Justice." Very true crime, the cinematography is outstanding and it was so intense I found myself turning away. Great TV!
I wonder what Kate has that makes Milo worship the ground she walks on. Is it her intellect? Her beauty? Her charisma? Her humility? Her graciousness in all situations? Her altruism? Her parenting skills?
All of the above?
In all seriousness, why would a "happily married female" slobber all over a divorced middle-aged woman with eight kids to the extent that Gladys needs Depends for her mouth? I'd love to know,

That wouldn't stop Milo. She's had her fingers slapped quite often by Kate and she keeps going back for more. She loves Kate with a passion, and I don't think that she'd stop calling her dog "Katie" just because Kate wasn't flattered! "Miss K" is probably just a nickname. We have quite a few for our dogs (and cats)!
Maybe TFW is filming on her own for a YouTube channel. Maybe she thinks she'll be the next YouTube sensation.
I couldn't make out the whole sign, but the first word was "Fierce" and I believe the second word was "Protector" (the word started with 'protec'). Maybe that's what she'll use as the explanation for her behavior all these years. You know, she was just fiercely protecting her children. In case you haven't heard - she has 8 of them and what she's been doing all these years is just protecting them by doing things like suing their father.
I thought it was so fitting that during TFW's part of the IAM commercial I saw tonight, the voice-over was saying "Stand up and own who you are" and there was TFW, standing there, not owning anything at all. I guess it's a good thing for TFW and TLC that the sign she threw wasn't clear enough for anyone to really read.

reer. Her choice, her big bucks she is earning. You simply don't care for her because she has supported Kate. I would expect entertainment writers that slam celebrities wouldn't do very well in their field.

I don't expect entertainment writers to slam celebrities. I expect them to be objective. Entertainment Weekly is a good example of journalists being critical but evenhanded. Coyne however is firmly part of the group of butt kissing celebrity journalism that is much more about themselves and getting invited over for game night then actually providing the public with objective information. Any journalist like her is a waste of time.

Well, sure, if you're not kissing butt, you're not a celeb tabloid journalist. That's just the game.
I don't like Coyne because she's part of the machine that has enabled Kate to exploit her children, and continues to this day. I found it particularly egregious, in poor taste and borderline unethical to exploit 2 13-year old girls by goading them into fueling the narrative that Jon is a bad father.
This was a calculated move by Kate to launch her offensive du jour against Jon, by parading her twins on tv talk shows to reinforce her narrative and justify a frivolous and destructive lawsuit filed against their father.
This was nefarious and Coyne still, to this day, participates as an interloper, putting what must be a difficult and fragile relationship in further jeopardy.
For me, it goes way beyond Coyne's given profession. It's how she wielded her power in influence that turns me off. It's her alliance with Kate Gosselin that turns me off. It's her lack of balance in reporting on the Jon and Kate saga, because as far as I know, she's never even met Jon, let alone heard his side of the story, and that turns me off.
In general, people who allow themselves to be mouthpieces turn me off.

Rainbowsandunicorns(#29), to me, the most insane part of that lawsuit was that right after it was announced, TFW left her 8 kids to do some press stuff out of state, and took the bodyguard with her! If those minor children were actually faced with some imminent danger, wouldn't she want to stay home? Or if she absolutely had to leave, wouldn't it be prudent to have the bodyguard stay at the house to protect them? It made no sense at all.

Well, even with Kate's rationale that they needed Steve because some man wanted to bounce the kids on his knee, and their tires were slashed in their driveway (according to Kate).
Why does Kate get the professional bodyguard, and the kids get young female nannies?

How can Kate's biggest fan provide us objective and useful reporting on some important issues in modern entertainment, like the exploitation of children on reality shows?

I don't know if this is directed exclusively to admin, or if the "you" is the impersonal generic pronoun, but nope, troll, even if she bashed Kate right and left, up and down, a person who tries to get into the celebrity's inner circle and be invited to game night, and think that they are best buddies with a celebrity, really gets my dander up.
Brown nosers such as this are obnoxious as well as immature and still wet behind the ears, and it's clear exactly who and what she is. I would imagine that many celebrities just look at her and groan because they deal with this type of person on a regular basic, but they are civil to her, and respectful because that's the way many celebs are.

I agree Midnight. And I would submit that Coyne is representative of a bigger problem in journalism today. The BFF.
We've seen this a lot lately in journalism, journalists who are more interested in becoming friends with their subjects or giving them a nice fluffy interview, than getting the story. Pure journalism, whether you are covering something very serious, or just a stupid celebrity, is supposed to involve first and foremost a duty to your readers to present them the truth in a thorough and objective way. You can't possibly do that if you are more focused on making your subject have a good PR moment or getting invited over to game night.
It seems to me a lot of reporters are treating subjects with kid gloves these days, not asking the tough or obvious questions. Part of this is to maintain good relationships with your subjects for future stories, other times it might involve subjects who are big donors to things directly or indirectly tied to the media, other times it could be shared political views, other times it might be a culture of downplaying serious issues in the media, like sex abuse or child exploitation.
So no, I don't just dislike Coyne because she loves Kate. I really don't care she loves Kate. I dislike her because she sucks at her job because she can't put aside her conflict of interest, and she is somebody in charge of informing me about things I am interested in. That's not fair to me or any of her other readers. As bad as the media can be sometimes, we need them to keep us informed. And when we can't trust someone to do that that degrades the profession as a whole.
Here's an interesting article about how journalists haven't been very hard on people like Bill Cosby:
http://www.cjr.org/watchdog/bill_cosby_rape_charges.php
Coyne said something about no one having any right to criticize TFW if you haven't walked a mile in her shoes, and how she did it all alone. If that "journalist" had spent half an hour researching the facts online, she would have learned the things we know. That TFW ended the marriage. That she participated in a sham wedding in Hawaii for an episode, when her own time line of events confirms the marriage was already over at that point. That TFW ALWAYS had helpers. That she left town for days, and sometimes weeks, at a time, even admitting that one week home, one week away from her young children was her preference. The Mother Teresa martyr mom she's praising only exists in her imagination (and Gladys' fantasies).
Kate has a nanny just like Coyne surely has a many for her twins.
That in and of itself is not "doing it alone." Do those 1 per centers have any idea how much most working single mothers would kill to have a nanny in the family home instead of some of the other cheaper childcare options out there?
If you aren't going to post my entire comment, don't bother. Or pick and choose which to post. You are the biased one. And no, I am not a sheep. You just can't handle someone taking another stand than you. YOU are the narcissist.
&&&&
Your agenda is clearly to get under my skin. Why should I do you the courtesy of publishing anything much less your full comment when clearly, you are incapable of following rule 3? Allowing you to even have a discussion here when you are a troll is my courtesy to you. Even your name I've never seen before until the past few weeks, so I don't even know who you are, certainly not a regular or if you are you're constantly changing names which isn't allowed either, and I think you're changing names to suit your purpose and trying to further use your name to get under my skin. You know exactly what you are doing and the playing dumb and innocent "I just want my comment published that's all and you won't because you're a narcissist" schtick is not getting past me for one second. Try something else.
You simply don't care for her because she has supported Kate. I would expect entertainment writers that slam celebrities wouldn't do very well in their field.
&&&
Isn't Perez Hilton a multi-millionaire? All he does is slam celebs. What about Andy Cohen? He is quite harsh with celebs who are full of it, and he is absolutely thriving.
Anyway the greater point is that no one asked Coyne to "slam" Kate. I do, however,
Objective reporting does not mean being a jerk to your subjects. 60 Minutes is a good place to start if you want to see real celebrity journalism. They do lots of celebrity interviews, and their celeb interviews over the years are widely regarded as some of the classics. Subjects feel comfortable with the journalist and get along with them while still being asked the harder questions and getting a balanced story.

Absolutely. Journalists, writers, reporters, are not supposed to be a celebrity's best friend and snuggle up to them. Coyne is the antithesis of what a journalist is supposed to be. She just doesn't know it! But hopefully in time maybe she will. She seems to have a lot of growing up to do.

Years ago "People" magazine was a good read. Today, according to Wikipedia, it is a roughly 50/50 mix of celebrity and human-interest articles. People's editors claim to refrain from printing pure celebrity gossip, enough to lead celebrity publicists to propose exclusives to the magazine, and evidence of what one staffer calls a "publicist-friendly strategy". It's obvious TLC uses "People" for this express purpose, and Katie Coyne, Executive Editor, is not an unbiased journalist. She and the magazine do not exist to be objective, but are paid to be publicity shrills.
Rather than investigating Kate Gosselin, she chose to embrace her because that is what she was paid to do. She's not a friend...she and celebrities mutually use each other.
The perfect guy for Kate. I think TLC should film a date night with him! He's nothing to sneeze at! ;)

http://www.mediaite.com/online/if-public-knew-how-wrong-these-joe-paterno-knew-headlines-are-there-would-be-riots/
Well, the lone accuser did give me pause and there is a huge payday on the table as a motive. And it's convenient that all the witnesses he claims were there just happen to be dead.
I think it's like the Cosby thing. I imagine most of the allegations are probably true, while there's probably a few women in the bunch who are full of it. This victim might just be a copycat.
The other thing that strikes me is the time period. It's easy to cast judgement from 2016 looking back. But let's be real, no one was reporting sex abuse in the 70's. Not that that makes it right.
And what strikes me as odd is why would all those coaches act so unconcerned in the 70's yet Paterno went out of his way to take it up the chain of command in the early 2000's when it came to the incidents that are much more established? If Paterno wanted to cover up for his friend as he allegedly did in '78, he would have told the reporting party to shut his mouth and go away. That's not what happened. Rather, he blew the whistle and it got the guy "fired". Not loud enough for some, but it's undisputed he absolutely blew that whistle and it led to a number of events including letting the perp go from his job. So for this person to say something happened even before then, I think we need an explanation why Paterno suddenly felt like it was time to disclose this to his boss when he allegedly didn't before. He suddenly developed an appreciation for the gravity of sex abuse?
The jury is out on this particle incident, but I'll give them this, this one doesn't exactly add up with everything else we know to be true.
I try to take everything in context and just like I have sympathy for victims of sex abuse and how hard it is to disclose it, I do have some level of sympathy for how hard it can be for people around them to know what to do or how to help. Would myself in 2016 do the right thing and not rest until the right thing is done, absolutely. But that's me in 2016, when we know and understand so much more about what to do now, many of us now get training at work on what to do, and plus, I work with sex abuse victims on a weekly to sometimes daily basis and have interviewed countless sex abuse victims, and perps, and conducted countless sex abuse trials in dependency, have watched dozens of forensic interviews and know what sex abuse of children looks like. I have a knowledge and background now to understand exactly what to do. These guys coached football, they didn't study what I do. I can't say what I would do in 2001 when I didn't have this knowledge, I'm not going to say what I would have done in 2001.
rainbirdie@53....OMG I can't stop laughing!!
The interesting point-counterpoint article actually points out that some of the dates don't match up. For instance one guy who was supposed to be there didn't even come to work there until two years later. Oops.
This involves serious stuff, like current coaches, one of whom currently coaches at UCLA. We need to make sure we get this right before implicating people who are still working with our youth. This is not just about a bunch of dead or retired guys.
I think anyone interested in having an opinion should just read all sides of it. Due to good journalism, we can do that.
This is the kind of journalism Kate Coyne will never, ever be capable of and we are worse off for it. In the world of journalism, she is a waste of space. THIS is why I don't like Kate Coyne, get it troll?
What's really sad about this is there is no question several young men were molested by Sandusky and most are really struggling with this whole thing. The idea that other people who were not molested may be trying to take advantage of this situation, is just appalling.
Milo calls those photos of Kate taken from the ground up the "money shot."
Milo? Gross.
Oh and this is why we need to be careful when people suddenly jump on bandwagons: Duke Lacrosse.

Admin (#73), aww, poor hoof-in-her-mouth Gladys. Think anyone will tell her what that expression really means?
A Church Lady tweets:
"Boots called check on me told me he's shacking up with Suzanne oldaker the one who had stomach pumped full of sperm"
==============
If you're trying to get pregnant, I really don't think that the stomach is the right location for a deposit.
I'm wondering if Kate is hoping her Twitter account will die a quiet death. She's "insta-ing" daily, but doesn't have it set up to post over on Twitter.
Check out this about how fake the reality shows are.

FYI, for those who like modern British crime drama, Netflix has a new release called Marcella. Eight episodes so can binge watch in a day ;)
More puppy luvin' from Kate, LOL. Nasty look with the short shorts for a 40+ year old woman. It's ok at home to dress like that (even though most teens would be mortified if mom wore those shorts) but to publish publicly? The only one turned on is Milo apparently.
TFW should be headed to Chicago soon. I wonder if she'll disappear electronically as usual, or if she's hooked on this new shiny hobby and will continue to insta while she's away. Now that Gladys got the "shot" she'd been begging for, she may continue to hound TFW for pictures from event. But I assume Austin will post plenty.
Will anyone ask TFW ask who's going to take care of the puppies while she's away? Too bad her ex isn't allowed on the property. Maybe he would have been willing to cover a few shifts.
Kate has shown more affection for these new puppies than she has ever shown for her own children. This new fad will soon bore her just as the bird did.

Kate Coyne needs to read this heartbreaking new article by Jennifer Aniston. She needs to understand that while some people like Kate enjoy being a celebrity, not everyone does. Jennifer Aniston doesn't, and for the first time she is speaking out about how the decades of pregnancy rumors have taken an emotional toll on her.
When Kate encourages and supports the exploitation of children, she is encouraging and supporting children entering a dysfunctional world many of them may not be ready for or want for themselves, and we have seen clear signs of resistance and reluctance from several of the kids on several different occasions.
Jennifer is old enough to take the bad with the good and understand that this is the price she pays for the lifestyle she has chosen. The kids don't have the luxury of that choice, it was robbed from them.

Not only has Kate not shielded her children from the tabloids, she's told their stories to them, and published about their personal struggles to sell books!
At this point, none of the Gosselin kids will be able to go through life without prying eyes and cameras following them at some points.
There's no getting their privacy back.
As for Aniston, she is a tabloid darling, for whatever reason. It seems that some stars have tabloid staying power, and she's one of them.
What I don't get is staying in the L.A. fishbowl when you've got more money than God and can live anywhere.

It would be far, far smarter for Kate to have let them have social media in plain sight, where she can monitor it.
Having clandestine accounts will not teach them to be careful and savvy.
No promo tweets from Kate about the Block Party although most of the other participants are tweeting. Most others also have some event coordinated with their appearance for the fans, but no mention of Kate doing anything. I guess she and the twins will just sit and sign autographs. ITA she was a last minute addition.
Yes, the pups are getting big. Noticed the doggie gate on the deck. She must be getting them ready for their outside banishment. LOL, that new deck probably is scratched up from their nails.
Pretty funny Gladys had no idea what "money shot" means in the porn industry (or maybe not!)
Tucker's Mom (#91), "far, far smarter" is not TFW's style. Surely it would be safer to have those things accessible to a parent who can monitor them. And as I keep saying, TFW is months away from having 8 teenagers under her roof. I think she is woefully unprepared for the types of issues that can and will come up. And I feel sorry for her poor sons in the basement, facing puberty in a household where they're treated like second class citizens.
I also can't imagine Kate with teen boys!
Jennifer Anniston was born and raised in Los Angeles. I'm sure all her family and friends are in LA and that's why she doesn't flee. At her age few people are willing to leave everything they've ever known. That's her home and probably always will be. There is an unusual pap interest in her more than her peers. She seems like a nice woman but personally I don't think she's all that fascinating at all.

That's what I figure. It's hard to leave, but she's making a choice which results in her being hounded by tabloids.
She's been in the biz for decades and she's spitting into the wind, afaic, in complaining about the paps.
I feel for actresses who are scrutinized closer than a freshly-scoped colon, but she has the means to reduce this affliction, yet has chosen not to.
I get that it's hard to move and leave where you grew up. I know personally how challenging it is. But, that's life and you do what you need to do.
The more famous people make appeals for privacy, the more the tabloids go after them.
Princess Di, in particular. Her impassioned pleas only served to make her plight worse. Saying "please give me or us privacy" is code for "hound the hell out me".
Dog-whistle speaking ;-)

Milo shared this pic on IG with the caption that it's where her husband puts his things, everyday, when he comes home from work. A comb with dandruff and a hat from the 50's? Do men wear hats like that now? I found it such a bizarre picture.
https://instagram.com/p/BHy7E9NhdaR/
Jane, it is a bizarre picture! That's a hat from "Mad Men". Fedoras look nothing like that nowadays. LOL! I think Milo has finally lost it. It's carefully composed too. Even IF her husband wears a hat, the only ones here that do are golfers, it's hot and that is not a man's summer straw fedora hat. This was a hat picked up at Good Will, which has to be proof Milo lives a fantasy life.
Jane (#99), imagine if someone hounded Gladys to post a picture of herself with that comb or that hat, like she was haranguing TFW to pose with her puppies? She guards her privacy fiercely, but thinks nothing of putting in photo requests.
I think Anniston is pap fodder because Brad Pitt dumped her for Angelina Jolie. All three are constantly in the rags about their relationships. Glad Anniston has had enough. Radar has a story now about her being pregnant. What she really needs to do is sue. Anniston is lied about all the time.
FYI, in the largest picture of Kate with Mak, in the background you can see the dog crate. That's where those dogs live...in the crate on the deck.
Those shorts are TOO SHORT for her age!
Why all of this hugging and cuddling when she didn't do this for Shoka and Nala? If she would of did this to S and N from the get-go, she would of sent them away because Nala got aggressive with her because of the way she treated them. She severely abused Shoka and Nala and is still abusing Shoka. (letting him chase, run and dart at the tires on the BBB or whatever vehicle she is driving).
Is she doing this to keep more episodes filmed and a new storyline? You betcha she is!
She loves TLC's printed money.

Good eye. That deck is sizzling hot in the summer. I can't imagine crating a dog on a deck with no shield from the sun.
Our crates are indoors and there's no need for crates on the deck. Our deck has a gate and my dogs can play out there with distant supervision for short periods.
Then they come in.
Also, I hope the puppies don't decide to chase something and run while they're out without a leash.
Ewww, that comb (in Milo's IG) pic is disgusting! And no one with older teenaged children wears a hat like on the daily. I live in the South in a small town and no one does that unless they are going to church and that's a stretch for someone under 65. If he had a baseball cap laying there, that pic would be believable. Also, who leaves their rings just sitting on the edge of the piano just waiting to get knocked off and eaten by "Miss K" and "Mr. J". GMAB - super staged and a dumb staging at that.
I thought Mad Men, too, when I saw Milo's picture. A baseball cap or one of those LL Bean type fishing hats would be more believable. I can't figure it out but that picture gave me the creeps.
The Milo picture IS creepy! It reminds me of when someone leaves a deceased loved one's belongings exactly as they were for years.The comb is disgusting, anyway.
It is creepy to post your husband's personal things on the internet, and for what?
A couple of things.
When I was Kate's age I had two teenagers. In the summer I pretty much wore what Kate's wearing, shorts, t-shirt and barefoot. It was So. Calif. Maybe that's the difference. I never thought about wearing short shorts at that age.
Also, where's the crate in the IG picture? I can't see it. I see a covered object, probably the bbq on the left side of the photo---nothing else.
Deliverance, look closely on the right side of the photo, at the bottom of the windows. It's there. It's easier to see in the biggest photo. There is no shade on that deck.

I would wear short shorts around the house, but not when out and about. At least she's not mucking about for the paps in hooker heels anymore.
That was bizarre.
I think Kate is obsessed with her body and looking as young as possible. Considering how gigantic she was during the tup pregnancy, she had to have stretch marks and cellulite which have magically disappeared because she "de-ages" or photoshopped in bikini pictures. I really can't stand it that she doesn't own up to it. We gals understand.

I agree Midnight. And I would submit that Coyne is representative of a bigger problem in journalism today. The BFF.
We've seen this a lot lately in journalism, journalists who are more interested in becoming friends with their subjects or giving them a nice fluffy interview, than getting the story. Pure journalism, whether you are covering something very serious, or just a stupid celebrity, is supposed to involve first and foremost a duty to your readers to present them the truth in a thorough and objective way. You can't possibly do that if you are more focused on making your subject have a good PR moment or getting invited over to game night.

This all reminds me so much of what I've read about the press that followed President Kennedy and his family when he was in the White House. They were more interested in being his friend than in reporting what was really happening.

Those shorts are TOO SHORT for her age! Really? There is nothing wrong w/ short shorts. I'm a lot older than Kate and I don't weigh 120 lbs. It's summer. I wear shorts and tank tops. Sitting down makes the shorts look shorter too. I'm not trying to impress anyone, I'm comfortable to the weather and catching some rays when out watering etc. I also never stopped wearing a bathing suit, even a month after having kids. I'm more into spending and loving time w/ my kids/family and enjoying beach time than carrying what anything "thinks". Too many insecure people.

That's exactly right. I wouldn't ever expect these types to actually put out an investigative-type story. Their careers would be over. Millions are made off the crap they write. And serious journalists aren't much interested in d-list celebrities.
I never never NEVER read tabloids because the stories that aren't straight lies are planted by the celebs people to tell whatever story they want told. That goes as far back as classic Hollywood and Royalty. You can't believe what the reporters are saying and you can't believe what the celebs are saying. Its insane!
With Kennedy it was more insane because he was the PRESIDENT! Owned by the American people. I don't think he would have been reelected tho.

-------------------------
Exactly. I had to look her up on IMDB to see that she has been working steadily since the end of Friends, and has even done one notable movie (Marley and Me) and been nominated for some acting awards. But I am peripherally aware of her "big fat celebrity life". I spend a lot of time in medical waiting rooms.
I find her to be enigmatic and not charismatic at all. I don't get a wisp of friendly vibe from her.
&&&&
I think she's a little flat, but I also think she is socially awkward and has a lot of baggage that is not her fault. She seems to struggle a bit with issues from a dysfunctional childhood as well as a learning disability. Only in recent years has she been a bit more open about all that, and in this article she says she has done some intensive therapy to deal with her issues, which is more than can be said for a lot of celebs. I wish Kate would do therapy.
But what persuades me about her is that she is still friends with Brad Pitt's mom. Stories pop up every so often that Jen and her ex-mother in law got together again for coffee.
It says a lot about her that she can put aside the divorce and maintain a friendship with someone from your ex's side because you just genuinely like them. Kate would not be able to have a close relationship with Jon's relatives, she's too immature. Apparently, Jane Pitt was at her recent wedding!
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/jennifer-aniston-reveals-struggles-dyslexia-764854
Oh and this just in, Jennifer Aniston's mother recently died and had cut Jennifer out of her will. At this age, that's just petty.
Anniston has always said she struggled to keep the peace with her mother. J paid all her bills even when her mother wasn't speaking to her. Sounds like some narcissism there on behalf of her mother. Who lets a child pay for their bills when they're not even speaking to them? Well, Kate would.

Very true. Back then, we didn't talk about that stuff. So I guess the press gets a pass at not being too hard on them, that's just how it was.
Now days, the press is much more open and truthful about what they know, even previously unmentionable stories. Kate Coyne can't rest on the excuse of the time period. It is no excuse anymore.
When I was Kate's age I had two teenagers. In the summer I pretty much wore what Kate's wearing, shorts, t-shirt and barefoot. It was So. Calif. Maybe that's the difference. I never thought about wearing short shorts at that age.

Oh I don't have a problem with the length of her shorts. It was the angle of the shot, taken down low and straight up to the crotch.
And then when Milo said the money shot, I threw up a little in my mouth.
She's just so inept, not realizing how unflattering the shots were and allowing them to be posted.
I'm not sure what kinds of stories you think these 2nd rate (John Stossel they're not) hack "journalists" are supposed to provide. A story of Kate's relationship with her bodyguard, for example, would guarantee that particular reporter would never get another story, and if the person (Kate in this instance) doesn't want to talk about that topic, should the reporter camp outside all night and note the times of the comings and goings of Steve, for example?
&&&&
But that's precisely the problem. If all journalists agreed to do their job and report the truth, people like Kate G. would have no leverage. A celeb wouldn't be able to write Kate Coyne off forever if she dared to say something bad about them because all journalists should be willing to do that when necessary. You can't write off EVERYONE, so you'd be forced to talk to journalists and face up to truthful reporting.
Kate Coyne perpetuates PR crap that is neither useful nor important. I disagree that this is just D lister journalism--there are actually plenty of celebrity publications that churn out fair and objective stories, Hollywood Reporter being one of them. I read lots of celeb stories in addition to the news but I never get them from the likes of sources like People, it's just not helpful.
A journalist being nothing but a PR writer is wrong, and it does nothing to help the public get to the truth.
I think Anniston is pap fodder because Brad Pitt dumped her for Angelina Jolie. All three are constantly in the rags about their relationships.

Like 10 years ago! The staying power of that one story has been unbelievable!
Although, it is a little intriguing, especially when there were a lot of insiders supposedly even from Brad's side saying he made a huge mistake letting her go.
But still, ten years of this? All the parties now are like we're serious, there's nothing going on. Nobody hates each other, we all have new families now, it's all good, I swear. But no one seems to accept that.
I dunno. From short shorts to Twitter photos of her cleavage, she likes to dress provocatively for public consumption whether on the show, Twitter or now Instagram. You can't tell me her sons haven't noticed, LOL. Yeah, that's a sick thought but who wants to catch your son staring at your cleavage or butt cheeks?
Why is Milo's "husband" dumping his crap all over their nice piano? That is no place to use as a mud room, wtf. She needs to take back some control here, she's always described him as quite bossy and now we see he's a slob with his stuff.
Also I think my 91 year old grandfather has that same hat.
Jennifer Aniston spent most of her childhood in New York. You don't know the woman so how can you be "sure" of her reasons for staying in LA? Is there ANY subject on which you don't consider yourself an authority?
&&&&
Huh? Moving back to New York City is not going to allow that woman to get herself away from the paps. It could be even worse there, as it's harder to find a secluded gated property in the middle of Manhattan.
Her parents were famous too. She's been dealing with this for a long time and there's no good options for escape. She stated the paps greet her outside her home every day. As long as they are in a public place, the cops aren't going to do anything about it.
Yeah, that's a sick thought but who wants to catch your son staring at your cleavage or butt cheeks?

I don't think that Milo has any say in that family at all, which explains one of the reasons why she is so obsessed with Twitter. It's most likely one of the only places where she can say and do whatever she chooses. Sad, really.
I still am curious why "hubs" makes her go to bed at 11 p.m. Does he accompany her there, or is that the only time of the day he gets to relax in his chair without hearing about Kate and looking at her pictures, or listening to Milo rant about what the neighbors are up to?
@Sheepless in Seattle You know what would be a very good twist,if it turned out LOM is not really there and milo and him divorce some time ago.If anyone who follows the Bullyville stuff.The Kate super fan and bullville fan C.J or by her twitter cjwhodunit is divorced but is still trying to convince people that her and husband are still together,even going so far as to post an old picture of them together.It would not shock me in the least if milo maybe the same way.She's always tries to claim how happily married she is and was "busy" with family but was giving hints on how she was ill.Just a thought since it was announced that C.J is divorce but tries convince people they're still together.For all we know,milo could be the same way.
You know come to think of it,thats another reason Kate's loyal fanbase can relate to Kate.They think by posting a picture it proves so and so is true.Kate posting puppy pictures proves she's an animal lover.C.J thinks posting old pictures of her and husband proves they're still together and of course milo thinks posting a picture of LOM's belongings means hes there,but for all we know this is the life that she wants people to believe is true.

Dr. Phil is now suing the National Enquirer. Good for him. Not a fan of his, but if lies are published, make it hurt financially. Nice to see some celebs have figured out that bad publicity is not worth having your face on a cover.
I think all the bikini pictures of Kate, especially the nude color one where she is running across the front yard is worse than the shorts. She has always flaunted herself, and at that time Steve and his sons were there for a visit. Even on filmed vacations she is barely dressed.

The fishing trip "Gosselin pukefest" in particular. Her boobs were falling out of her skimpy top.
This isn't about being a prude. It's about checking yourself in the mirror before you walk out the door to make sure people can't see right down your shirt if you bend over a bit.
Especially if you're not wearing a bra.
foxy, I agree. For Pete's sake, she should wear a coverup when not swimming. A bikini leaves not much to the imagination. It's not only about modesty around teen boys but sun protection. And about that particular visit...very telling Gina was NOT there as reported by paps.
Hey, how you dress is all about drawing attention, whether by choice or subconsciously. She obviously likes showing off her new, improved body and that's fine but she could use some guidance when she goes for the sexy youngish look. Really, dressing up in short shorts and hooker heels to pump gas or shop at Target was dumb for those pap shots.

Yes. I remember the episode where Kate was baking the ill-fated birthday cake. She had only minutes to spare before going to the bus stop but 'had to change' before leaving. That was the hail storm epi I think.She put on a similar sundress. Why??? But I agree generally her clothes have been more modest the last couple of years. For me, the school shopping in the tight pink Tee with cutouts, or the hooker heels in NYC were among the worst.And the flesh-colored bikini.

Another ridiculous get up! The matching pink sandals, too. That's what every mom does isn't it? Makes sure her strappy sandals dtm (dyed to match) her skin-tight, skin-bearing top?
Of course, when you and your kids are on display while filming..

FYI, in the largest picture of Kate with Mak, in the background you can see the dog crate. That's where those dogs live...in the crate on the deck
It's the grill. And I doubt her fancy deck is scratched up either....

Nope, not a grill. It's a crate. Look again.
I have no idea if the dogs spend a lot of time in their crates on the deck, but any time in this weather is dangerous.
Nail scraping depends on the materials and finish. Our deck has been pretty scratch-resistant thus far.
Agree! I think Kate looks cute and fresh for being at home with a house full of kids and puppies.
&&&&
You wouldn't believe how much easier it is to look cute and refreshed and sun-kissed when you pay 20-something women to take care of your children and the children take care of the puppies.

Botox, fillers, lifts, tucks and tanning also go a long way to helping to make you look "refreshed".
I mean, c'mon! Tell me Kate has the same face as she did several years ago!
4rmine - As you look at the picture the crate is to the right. The covered grill is on the left.
Sorry, 4rmine. It's definitely a metal dog crate. The only way I could see it was to take off my glasses and get my nose up to the iPad.
So it begs the question, if the deck has a dog gate, why is a dog crate on the deck?
Her TimberTech deck is a wood composite like my Trex deck. It will scratch and stain. Just look it up. I bet you anything those puppies are in their crate because of their nails scratching her precious deck. What does she think happens when dog nails meet wood? That's why I have always thought Shoka is seldom in the house too.
If she looks refreshed it's because she has taken care of her wrinkles before the Chicago trip. You can always tell because the 11's between her eyebrows magically disappear. I will give her a compliment: she looks good without all the makeup.
I was just looking for the crate (found it!) and I'm having trouble figuring out the gate. There seems to be an L-shaped piece of wood along the left side of the opening in the railing/fence. It seems like the bottom part that goes along the deck would be a tripping hazard. Can someone explain what I'm seeing?
It's 96 degrees with a heat index of 106.I hope to heaven that those dogs aren't outside in this weather.
The gate on Kate's deck doesn't appear to be integrated into the deck railing. Rather, it's an independant 4-panel gait/barrier that you can configure to your needs.
I also have one of them. There is a threshold in the gated section/panel that you have to step over.
OT for Tucker's...
Did you get the flooding yesterday? It rained heavily for three hours and east Lancaster was an ocean, with rescuers unable to keep up on the major roadways. I sat in traffic for two hours unable to go anywhere. Flood waters were over the hoods of cars. What was really weird that it was confined to a very small area and of course, with my luck, I was right in the middle of it all. I think we had four inches of rain. Not fun.
Another ridiculous get up! The matching pink sandals, too. That's what every mom does isn't it? Makes sure her strappy sandals dtm (dyed to match) her skin-tight, skin-bearing top?
&&&&&&&
Uh oh, guilty as charged! I have a sandals fetish and I must say that my shoes nearly always match my shorts/skirts/capris! However, I gave up the skin-tight tops a long time ago.

--------------------
Thank you. Now it makes sense. The color matches the railings so feel I thought it was part of the railings. In fact, I was thinking how smart it was of Kate to have a gate installed when she had the deck done. Especially with such a high deck.
Did she take the short-shorts puppy picture down?
I can't find it on IG.

No, we got nothing really. We're south by a couple hours. Usually we get the same systems that hit the eastern Atlantic states, but we were OK last night.
Math Girl- we made sure to get a gate integrated on our deck. We has also used a baby gate prior, but it's so nice not to have to mess with that anymore!
She posted a new photo on instagram, Aaden and Mak. Aaden will be a heart breaker in a few years. Of course she had to comment how she loves her boys. Trying really hard to rewrite history.
The photos of Kate and her shorty shorts is still on her IG, and a pic of Aaden holding Mak is added. The dog looks so much more relaxed and happy, I have to say ;-)

OT- Seems to be another terror attack in France- Nice, France on Bastille Day. Thousands gathered along the sea promenade for fireworks and a lorry (Mac truck) plowed into the crowd, killing dozens.
I know we all now hold our collective breaths for such large celebrations, such as our 4th of July, just passed.
Awful. Thoughts and prayers. What carnage.
And we (government employees) got a bulletin today warning us to steer clear of the "day of rage" protests that are supposed to take place across the U.S. tomorrow. What a world, what a world!
Good grief. Trump's VP selection looks like PurseBoy Steve. Or else the heat is really getting to me and everyone looks the same!

The puppy probably is more relaxed because he's not having the life squeezed out of him by a crazy woman in an attempt to show her adoring public that she really does loooooooove animals.

Good grief. Day of RAGE? How is this helpful???
I actually agree with Obama, America is not as divided as the small minority want us to think. The vast majority of Americans play just fine with others. All lives matter.
The scariest thing about the attack in Nice is it just proves the point that you can take away everyone's guns pretty much like what France has done, and crazy people will still exist and still find other ways to kill masses of people. They're just getting more creative. We've got to go deeper than the guns. In fact, the hyper focus on the guns has caused us to lose valuable time.
Obama will now say we need to ban cars and trucks.
#prayersforFrance-again!
I don't know anything about the "day of rage" other than what was on the bulletin that we got. I wish I had done a cut and paste because it gave all the cities and times where the protests will supposedly take place.
Day of Rage is anonymous groups who support Black Lives Matter.
It sounds like a recipe for more violence. This accomplishes nothing.
of course milo thinks posting a picture of LOM's belongings means hes there,but for all we know this is the life that she wants people to believe is true.

I can only hope that today's tragedy in France takes the wind out of their anarchist sails, especially when you see the senseless carnage inflicted on innocents.

This small group is creating division, distrust and violence when we need to be united right now in solving our problems. Their platform is largely based on lies about various incidents that have occurred.
When our own black president is saying enough already, when our own black professors from Harvard are saying actually according to our extensive research you're flat out wrong about the police--how bad is it?

***********************
Barack Obama is not opposed to Black Lives Matter. Do not twist his words to fit YOUR agenda. How incredibly disrespectful. He is speaking AGAINST everything you believe.
From his Dallas memorial speech...
"...We also know that centuries of racial discrimination, of slavery, and subjugation, and Jim Crow; they didn’t simply vanish with the law against segregation. They didn’t necessarily stop when a Dr. King speech, or when the civil rights act or voting rights act were signed. Race relations have improved dramatically in my lifetime. Those who deny it are dishonoring the struggles that helped us achieve that progress. But we know…
But America, we know that bias remains. We know it, whether you are black, or white, or Hispanic, or Asian, or native American, or of Middle Eastern descent, we have all seen this bigotry in our own lives at some point. We’ve heard it at times in our own homes. If we’re honest, perhaps we’ve heard prejudice in our own heads and felt it in our own hearts. We know that. And while some suffer far more under racism’s burden, some feel to a far greater extent discrimination’s stain. Although most of us do our best to guard against it and teach our children better, none of us is entirely innocent. No institution is entirely immune, and that includes our police departments. We know this. And so when African-Americans from all walks of life, from different communities across the country, voice a growing despair over what they perceive to be unequal treatment, when study after study shows that whites and people of color experience the criminal justice system differently. So that if you’re black, you’re more likely to be pulled over or searched or arrested; more likely to get longer sentences; more likely to get the death penalty for the same crime. When mothers and fathers raised their kids right, and have the talk about how to respond if stopped by a police officer — yes, sir; no, sir — but still fear that something terrible may happen when their child walks out the door; still fear that kids being stupid and not quite doing things right might end in tragedy.
When all this takes place, more than 50 years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act, we cannot simply turn away and dismiss those in peaceful protest as troublemakers or paranoid.
We can’t simply dismiss it as a symptom of political correctness or reverse racism. To have your experience denied like that, dismissed by those in authority, dismissed perhaps even by your white friends and coworkers and fellow church members, again and again and again, it hurts. Surely we can see that, all of us.
I didn't say Obama was "against" BLM. I'm not either. However Obama was very clear, America is not as divided as BLM implies. There is nothing racist about questioning a group's platforms while still generally supporting the good intentions behind the group.
My issue with BLM is they gut react to every police shooting as something wrong and incite division based on false information. The vast majority of the time, it comes out three or four days later in fact the suspect was either reaching for a gun or had a gun or made other life threatening moves to threaten the officers' lives. The vast majority end up evaluated out as the police doing absolutely nothing wrong. They never wait for the facts, and they discredit themselves for not doing so.
And by the way, all lives matter, including blue ones, who have a right to go home to their families when their lives are threatened.
So what's with this Pokemon Go? I saw a video a couple days ago where a woman playing the game walked right in front of a camera that was filming a live weather report-an ADULT on the set at a TV station. DUH! Now I just read about a couple of kids who walked off a freakin cliff while playing and a girl who walked into traffic and was hit by a car. Talk about the dumbing down of society. Let's play a game where we just go walking and stare at our phone and don't bother to look where we're going. I read there have been numerous traffic accidents, crashing a car into a tree. Geeze people, really?

It is insane! In about 2 days of Pokémon Go, 3 thugs lured players to an empty parking lot and beat and robbed him, a woman was playing and went to a playground where she saw 3 older boys bullying a really young boy. She called 911. It was in the heat of the day and the bullies ran off, the little boy was in distress and if they hadn't of gotten him to the hospital, he would of died.
I am afraid that we will hear something either good or bad about Pokémon everyday from now on.

I can see a class action lawsuit coming, whether you sign whatever disclaimer or not. People are getting hurt and using it in inappropriate places (the Holocaust museum, hello?).
I've also heard a lot of excitement and that people are getting out and about, and exercising.
I think it's gone more viral than they thought.
So tomorrow is the big day in Chicago. I suppose Austin will bring a gift for TFW. That's the surest way to get her attention.
Our local station, WGN, just posted a story about Cake Boss scouting Chicago locations for a bakery here and then mentioned him being here in town for TLC. So he's definitely using this weekend for his benefit. No stories about anyone else yet. Really haven't heard a peep about TLC being here this weekend.
Everyone is talking about a huge Pokémon Go assembly at our Bean tomorrow though. TLC lucked out, perfectly gorgeous weather tomorrow.
I'm heading out of town, so can't go check it out.

I though the same. Looks like a hamster cage and doesn't appear high enough for a dog the size of Kate's pups to stand up in.

Is she crating the pups for housebreaking purposes? If so, you don't want a super large crate. There shouldn't be space for a dog to pee and poop, and dogs won't do their business where they have to sleep. If the crate is too large, they could just find a nice corner in which to poop. That defeats the whole purpose of crating them.
That said, if they are already house-broken, I have no idea why she is using crates other than the fact that some dogs really like their crates and retreat to them when they just want some rest. In that case, the door is left open.

Speaking of pups, the National Enquirer has pictures of Casey Anthony out and about with her little pup (looks like a terrier). Get ready, she had a ND (Notre Dame) cap on. Looked like she was at a karate place and a coffee shop. She looks like she cares more for that dog than she ever did for her daughter.
Scooping up dog poop might interfere with her beautiful life now.

I wonder if anyone saved that tweet. She was only an hour and a half plane ride away from the last meet and greet. Who does she think she's fooling?
