Nice to see that ass-backwards beaver mullet is a fitting do for a variety of vermin.
I couldn’t help but snicker when I read that Kate wants her own clothing line, ala Jaqueline Smith (K-Mart?).
This is the woman who once claimed to have no skills whatsoever in choosing clothing for herself and left that sort of thing up to Jon?
She is walking talking proof that Bullshit lives and breathes.
I am not saying woman should always bend over and take it up the butt, BUT:
IF Jon cheated, he seems genuinely sorry.
Kate herself says she has treated him like a pile of turd for at least 10 years. She should assume she has some responsibility in pushing him to seek affection elsewhere.
IF she were at all interested in saving their marriage, for the sake of her children at least, she should be willing to take steps to overcome whatever anger she says she is holding onto, be an adult, and seek to repair the damage that they both have caused their relationship. If nothing else, she should get herself to a counselor, ASAP, to work on herself and the myriad flaws and mental problems she exhibits.
I get the feeling, she just doesn’t care and probably hasn’t cared about him other than the fact he was able to produce viable sperm for quite sometime.
As an adult, I am ashamed of their behavior.
As a parent, I am appalled at their behavior.
And as a woman of a certain age I want to say to her: Dipshit—it ain’t always greener on the other side of the fence.
Learn to love youself so you can love others. And be happy with what you have now, because one day, it may all be gone.

Wow…I just finished reading the US Weekly article….
I recently started volunteering at a non-profit that assists survivors of domestic violence (men and women), and while reading that article I kept seeing the red flags they taught us about: isolation from family and friends, verbal abuse, financial abuse, etc. Granted-that is the picture the writer wanted to paint.
Debate on whether Jon can get out of show contract.

I just read the “statement” from TLC stating that they only film 2 times a week for two hours and they don’t film in the kids bedrooms. Does anyone know which episode it was where Kate said they filmed 3-4 days a week? I wanted to possibly make a montage of “lies” that the Gosselins/TLC have purported.
I haven’t seen it brought up yet but did anyone else catch the blurb on one of the articles that said Jon and Kate’s church had asked them to leave? I wish they would speak out publicly.

Judy after watching CNN Showbiz Today where they issued statement from TheLyingChannel I felt compelled to email them some facts (the one about filming is in YouTube clip):
After watching Showbiz Tonight 5/27 re: Jon & Kate Plus 8 there were a couple of items stated that are not fact:
1-This show HAS NOT been on 5 years. It has been 5 ’seasons’. Season 1 (prior to the 2 specials) started April 23, 2007. Season 4 ended March 23, 2009, season 5 started May 25, 2009. This show is not aired in typical broadcast seasons!
Episode guides can be found here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1124348/episodes
You can also access episode info from The Lying Channel’s Jon & Kate Plus 8 page: http://tlc.discovery.com/videos/jon-kate-plus-8-season-5-webisodes/
Season 1-5 webisodes available.
2-This show films MORE THAN 2 HOURS A DAY, 2 DAYS A WEEK! You DO NOT pump out 100 episodes in just over 2 years time on that filming schedule! The Gosselins have stated that this show films an average of 3-4 days a week see Season 4 Episode 31 3:50 &4:20 mark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6r069Aet_6U
3-While filming may not be taking place in the children’s bedrooms NOW, they most certainly filmed them in their bedrooms (as well as in bathrooms & on potty chairs!) in the past! Pull up webisodes on TLC or YouTube or the first 4 ’season’s’ dvds and you will see this to be FACT.
4-They have NOT retained the same crew throughout the entire show! Producer Jen Stocks and cameraman ‘Scott’ are 2 notables NO LONGER WITH THE SHOW. One of the more recent episodes-late season 4 talks about it-contact me and I’ll find the link, but there is only 1 original crew left and his name is ‘Mike’. Although you can probably just access show credits and find the crew from there.

These media outlets really ought to start doing some basic research. Seriously!

Jon and Kate Gosselin Spend More Time Apart
Thursday May 28, 2009
Jon and Kate Gosselin Spend More Time Apart
Jon Gosselin spent Memorial Day minus Kate and the kids.
The same day the new season of their TLC show premiered, he was photographed drinking a beer with two ladies at Front Street Bar & Grill in Newburgh, NY, TMZ.com reports.
Where have Kate and the kids been?
Along with her bodyguard Steve Neild, she was spotted with most of their brood getting off a ferry on Bald Head Island, NC, Wednesday morning.
After Monday’s season five premiere – during which Kate and Jon admitted they may divorce — the two released the following statement: “As many couples do, we are navigating a very difficult time. Our current situation brings us together around the children and some times sets us apart. We keep our faith that we will make the right decisions for our family.”
The new issue of Us Weekly has even more details on Kate’s tight leash on Jon, and the long, strange private dynamic between the deteriorating couple.
“She used to give him only $5 to spend, and if he was out and needed more money, she would give him hell,” his former employer at Style Craft Corp, David Rothermel, tells Us.
For more details on Kate’s terrifying control over Jon — including how she banned him from seeing his brothers after his father’s funeral, what you didn’t see on the TV premiere and how his lack of motivation and love of money have kept him with Kate — pick up the newest issue of Us Weekly, on stands today.

Judy after watching CNN Showbiz Today where they issued statement from TheLyingChannel I felt compelled to email them some facts (the one about filming is in YouTube clip):
After watching Showbiz Tonight 5/27 re: Jon & Kate Plus 8 there were a couple of items stated that are not fact:
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I was just about to address this as I did stay up last night and watched Showbiz Tonight. I was gobsmacked at the lies TLC told them, and I called the Showbiz Tonight number. I would urge anyone reading this or who saw the show or the YouTube video to call and and set the records straight. It is amazing to me that TLC would out and out lie as some of the things they lied about are on the Gosselin show plain as day and/or have been said by the Gosselins themselves in numerous articles in magazines, particularly about filming and the crew.
TLC is as scummy as everyone else involved in this mess.
on 28 May 2009 at 8:13 pm#15Tam
After watching all of the interviews/panels fraught with misinformation, I couldn’t let that bunch of TLC bullshit slip through. Loved Judy Kuriansky’s opening comment ‘first of all, get rid of that Gwen Stefani haircut…’
Chelsea Handler really let it be known last night that she thinks Kate is a bitch…

I really need to thank you both Mrs. Moon and Preesi. Your generosity is appreciated. Saved us a lot of time and money. The lies are pathetic. They know it is on tape and stlll contradict themselves. Not even sneaky. Seeing the pic of Jon with Alexis reminded me that they shared a bedroom in the basement of the old house. Oh, Mady. She is not going to keep quiet. Poor little girl does not want to lose her daddy.

Tam,
As a matter of fact, the night before last (Tuesday?), I happened to have the Duggar’s on. Michelle Duggar was talking about Scott, “our camera man” – she named him by last name, “Enlow” and they showed Scott. Same dude as at the KONpound!! Jen Stocks is no longer with KON. In one of the magazine articles, it stated that members of the crew left on “moral grounds.”
on 28 May 2009 at 8:50 pm#21Merette
Forgot to add, “Jeff” is the new KON producer replacing Jen and he is the one now doing the “couch confessional” interviews.

Just came across this.
Ya think there may be a name change for this crock pot full of shit cookbook before it goes to print?
Love is in the Mix?????
R U Kidding me????
Kate Gosselin has plenty on her plate, but that isn’t stopping her from publishing a new cookbook.
Her third book, Love Is in the Mix: Making Meals into Memories, is due to hit stores Oct. 13, 2009, according to Amazon.com.
See Jon and Kate Gosselin through the years.
The Jon & Kate Plus 8 star is already the author of Multiple Bles8ings: Surviving to Thriving with Twins and Sextuplets and the recently released Eight Little Faces, for which she has recently traveled the nation to promote.
“Fans … won’t want to miss this inside look at one of America’s most famous close-knit families,” the back cover states.
In addition to offering nutritious recipes and tips on eating organically, Love Is in the Mix promises to teach readers “how to craft family traditions that create happy memories” and “how to feed a large family on a budget.” The book will include family photos and anecdotes about her twins and sextuplets.
According to the site, Kate will also offer insight into handling picky eaters, making lunchtime fun, planning meals for vacations, and making ordinary days “extra special.”
Although excerpts from the book have not yet been released, commenters have already begun slamming the star’s previously released recipes and claim she stole them “from product boxes and magazine articles.”
One person wrote that her recipe for the cereal treat Monkey Munch — which was mentioned on the TLC show — is the same as one on the Chex brand website and calls it “plagiarism.”
Other commenters were shocked that the woman who once said that “real cooks don’t need recipes” was qualified to write a cookbook. They wrote on Amazon.com that on the show, Kate does little to “no cooking, no meals, just snacks — crackers, yogurt, grapes, cukes and peppers in pita. The woman can’t cook.”
Still, with Kate’s previous two books reaching the New York Times Best Seller list, the book’s publishers are likely expecting similar success with Love Is in the Mix. In addition to her income from book sales, the newest issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands today, reports that the Gosselins — who live in a $1.1 million house — earn approximately $50,000 to $75,000 per show.

Moon ~ don’t know if anyone has posted this yet. Julie has a new post w/ Paul Petersen up.

What Can I Do?
My inbox is being flooded with emails asking, “What Can I do?” It’s so encouraging to know that our message is getting out there, and people are realizing that children in reality TV need laws to protect them.
Paul Petersen established the organization A Minor Consideration to support child stars and other child laborers through legislation, family education, and personal intervention and counseling for those in crisis. I’m in contact with Mr. Petersen and asked him where we go from here.
I wanted to share his response, and encourage everyone to join together. Let’s keep the momentum going in a positive direction, and help get these laws passed so that ALL children will have protection.
Hi Julie,
I’m proud to say we are the leading advocate for National Legislation (and, if you heard Bob Edwards Show, we’re after Pennsylvania, too, for failing to apply their own laws!). You should also know that we’re after Octo-Mom and my personal lawsuit will be heard in Superior Court on June 22nd 2009.
Donations for A Minor Consideration…Fed ID: 95-4585623…can be mailed to:
A Minor Consideration
15003 S Denker Avenue
Gardena, CA
90247
We at AMC are well down the road to get National Legislation, but we need all the support we can get…especially from an Army of perfectly normal people who are tired of being lied to and having their televisions filled up with scripted reality shows that want only to exploit children.
Have people email me at this address. I will read and respond as I have for the past 19 years.
We really and truly are the ONLY national group with credibility and a proven track record in Legislation that has been hammering on this exploitation of working kids…as only former kid stars can know…and now a large and growing number of innocent children caught in the maw of so-called reality television.
Tell folks to come to our site…donate if they can…and we’ll help them marshall themselves into a potent Army.
We are ALL “mad as Hell,” and now that the conspiracy has been uncovered it is time to act.
Both theatrical unions (Screen Actors Guild and AFTRA) have voted unanimously at their national Board meetings to pursue national legislation to protect all children, everywhere.
Kate Gosselin is the worst person in the world. Two months ago I actually wrote a post comparing her to Kim Jong Il, but then couldn’t figure out how to make a sports connection and deleted it. So I’m not Johnny Come Lately to the Kate Gosselin Hatewagon. I’m driving the sumbitch, and have been so since The Random Baby Momma got preggers. Let’s start at the start.
If you don’t have a baby, or a pregnant wife/girlfriend, or one who desparately wants to be pregnant, you have no idea who the fuck Kate Gosselin is. If you have or are any of the above, you know exactly who the fuck she is. As soon as your significant other becomes pregnant, your TV only picks up one channel and the DVR only records Jon and Kate Plus 8 and 18 Kids And Counting. Now the Baptist wife from 18 is crazy as shit, but she is very nice. Kate Plus 8 (and probably Minus Jon, the way things are going) is crazy and mean and a femo-nazi. Those of you who are in the “with child” category are nodding your heads sadly. She is Lucifer. She is a vag-strocity. She is Kyle’s Mom.
I’ve never rooted for marital infidelity before, but I don’t blame Jon at all if he is humping around with anyone who isn’t Kate. He can hump a college student, or dirty dance with two girls, or have relations with a goat. Whatever he needs to recover from the PTSD of being married to Kate, who by the way isn’t a fucking saint herself. The lesson is, never get married. I don’t think you bachelors out there understand how important this is, so I’ll put it in caps. WOMEN ARE THE DEVIL! SAVE YOURSELF!

Excellent and thank you! I urge everyone to go to A Minor Consideration’s site email Paul and tell him that you are behind him and the organization working towards this legislation, or and donate if you can. I know in this economic climate it may not be possible, however.

Kate would actually have no real hand in ‘designing’ anything (other than maybe saying, yeah, that looks good thru an e-mail or something as worthless as that). Just like Multiple Blessings which she didn’t write, or her recent family photo album disguised as a book. She’d merely lend her name to some store’s clothing line hoping to cash in on the popularity of her name – if she can manage to keep it positive.

ooooh another one! “kate rules for making memories”
Rules:
1. Get a plastic resin chair and sit your ass in it.
2. Once ass is in chair, bark orders.
About The View video. I just Googled The View, their site came up and so did the video about the Jane & Hate show. Whoopi was the only one who said anything that might stick with people who don’t know the situation. I tried to e-mail them to enlighten them that there are people who are fighting for these children but they don’t make it easy……I won’t give up, though.
Moon ~ love the shrew picture. I printed it and it’s hanging right where I can see it all the time. Too, too, funny.
This show doesn’t have much longer. TLC is taking a HUGE hit right now and everyone knows that’s bad business. Kate will be flushed down the toilet along with Baby Mamma and Mr. Buzzy. It’s just a matter of time.

Kate did sign on with Walmart and Health Tex to design a children’s clothing line. It’s a done deal and she gave away samples of an outfit to the audience at Rachel Ray. I wonder if that’s the clothing line they are referring to?
Keep writing to Walmart and tell them you won’t shop there til the shrew is gone. They sent me a response that they take their emails seriously ( gee…where have we heard that before ). I think if enough people complain, and with all the sudden negative media coverage, they just may drop her ass. But they won’t if not many people complain.
They really are just a little tooooo comfortable with each other. STOP lying Kate and stop throwing your HUSBAND under the bus every freaking chance you get!!!

Any company or sponsor rep with even ONE brain cell in their head would steer as far away as possible from associating Kate Gosselin’s name to their product. It was said before that Octomom was the most vilified woman in the world but it looks like Kate may have just surpassed her.

Well Zondervan seems to be holding on to her since PR just reported that “Love is in the Mix” (BWAHHAHAHAHAH) is still being released. I am surprised that Zondervan would keep her on, quite frankly, but I guess I should not be. Christian publisher or not, I guess it is, for everyone, all about the almighty buck before the Almightly God.

Elizabeth is always tooting her own horn about how much research she does before the shows, guess she missed the ball on this particular topic. Anyway, I cannot seem to locate the link on The View’s Home page?
If anyone can provide some assistance it would be greatly appreciated. I was thinking of just using the main ABC contact email?
Once again, though, Whoopi was right on in her comments. Moon, I know you’ve always loved her, now I can see why !

Paul Petersen is on Jane Velez-Mitchell right now!
And so is that stupid Carlos Diaz – that guy is a moron. (Sorry Gram 123) He just said that Paul Petersen is WAY OFF BASE. Paul just told Carlos that he is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.
Carlos just stated that the parents are getting the money and that they will give the money to the kids. Paul states that their is no guarentee of this and there are no laws in PA regarding this. The rub regarding most state laws inre: children is the definition of what is an actor. The same clarifications that I asked of the PA Labor Board and the Governor’s office who never responded to me.
Carlos states that there is no way that they could not live without this money. THIS GUY IS CLUELESS. He says that the opportunities that they are afforded by this out weighs anything.
The shrink on the panel states that they are somewhere in between an actor and a non-actor but to think that they will not be affected by this is ludicrous.
Now Carlos is saying to take the kids off the show because everyone is watching due to the marriage imploding. But that is really the only reason to take them off the show. He says now that he is in Paul’s corner.
WTF?
It should be interesting to see what he says tonight on Showbiz Tonight. He spouts the same crap on there every night as well. What a weenie.
Show over.
Paul made a great presentation and made Carlos look like the ass he is.
Here’s the link to The View. I hope this works for you. I

Thanks for the recap of JVM, Moon. Was flipping back and forth to Entertainment Tonight as they had the ‘exploitation’ angle going tonight as well. But, let me tell you, everytime I got back to JVM, Carlos was spewing shite outta his piehole. He’s giving Jon a run for the money in the ‘TOOL’ dept. The man is an idiot.

A couple people mentioned that the Greedslin’s website has been down. I tried it and got a message indicating, “bandwith limit exceeded.” I looked this up and it means that the bandwidth allowance that the web hosting service provides on a person’s current plan has been used up. It gets used up if the site receives more traffic than it can handle. Gee, I wonder why the Greedlin’s site has been flooded?!! And I just thought KON took it down because they knew their jig was up and maybe they were embarrassed. I am so naive!!

I wrote in and told them I had been blogging about the Gosselins and the Gosselin child exploitation for over 10 months on Musings from the Moon and perhaps Elizabeth should do some research on the matter. I also asked them to keep looking into this and to please contact Paul Petersen and have him on the show to explain the issues and the dire need for legislation to be enacted to protect ALL children in Reality TV shows.
Please write in everyone. It only takes a minute!

Perfume?
Called what? Shrew by Kate Gosselin ? Poop scented?

I got a really good name for that perfume! Unfortunately, I can’t share it her out of respect for Moon. But I am thinking of it and am laughing out loud as I type!

And here’s a question: if KON is still taking that trip to Korea with those poor children, isn’t this a bad idea given that the political situation in North Korea is tense what with their missle testing? I am not faint of heart, but I would not take my kids there. They will be in South Korea, obviously, but I would be very uneasy about a trip there with eight young children. You never know what kind of stuff could occur – not to be fatalistic – I just would not chance it. Those kids are FAR too young for such a trip anyway. But then, it’s not about them – it’s about ratings.

I have not seen The View a great deal, but from what I have seen, I like Joy. I LOVE Whoopi, but have always loved her. Elizabeth makes my head explode. I don’t know the other black woman at all, and Barbara is an icon and for that reason alone, I respect her (I also happen to like her, though I think in these latter years she has lost some of her edge).

Joanna ~ This show doesn’t have much longer. TLC is taking a HUGE hit right now and everyone knows that’s bad business. Kate will be flushed down the toilet along with Baby Mamma and Mr. Buzzy. It’s just a matter of time.
As much as I want to believe this will happen, I’m not too sure that’s going to be the case. I heard – I think on a tabloid show last night, that TLC had recently upped their order for number of shows for this season to 40 (from a much smaller original plan – according to this commentator). But, we know TLC isn’t the most truthful about their practices, though. Anyway, I have a feeling that we’re going to see Jon fade from the screen as the season goes on and that it’s gonna end up a show with Kate alone with the kids next season. She has no intention of stopping this show unless someone forces her to and as long as TLC can make money on the show it will go on.
By the way, did anyone else notice that the pic of Kate with the kids in NC included TWO bodyguards, a college age helper, plus who knows how many others. My first thoughts after hearing where she’d gone was that she was ‘making more memories’ and in a way reliving a bit of the holiday memories from last year in NC. How sad that it’s just her, the kids, and paid help when they could be surrounded by family and friends — if she hadn’t slammed the door to everyone. IMO, she’s being defiant and is saying to the world and trying to convince everyone (and herself) that nothing is wrong with Mr. Neild being her constant companion. Too bad she doesn’t care enough about what her children will hear and read about the 2 of them to acknowledge she is sending up a huge question mark about their true relationship.
It says I’ve already sent the maximum 5 comments! I never sent any comments!! WTF???

4-They have NOT retained the same crew throughout the entire show! Producer Jen Stocks and cameraman ‘Scott’ are 2 notables NO LONGER WITH THE SHOW. One of the more recent episodes-late season 4 talks about it-contact me and I’ll find the link, but there is only 1 original crew left and his name is ‘Mike’. Although you can probably just access show credits and find the crew from there
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don’t think Mike is still there either. I saw him on the Dugger episode from Tuesday night. I started yelling at the t.v last night when I was watching that section. Every single thing TLC said can be proven wrong by just watching the show.

Yes, a lot of Musers are reporting have this issue. I am speculating that it is a glitch. Perhaps the system there is getting slammed? I don’t know if GWoP has been talking about The View, but they have a hell of a lot of posters/readers there so if they are, perhaps the system has too many trying to hit it at the same time.

My eyes are crossing so I will read in the morning but I wanted to share a funny.
My oldest daughter was online and she had me sit with her because she wanted me to help her google something..Mom is the Google master. Anyway, there is a page up to a message board she frequents. Every single solitary avatar had been photoshopped with a Kate hair-dont on it. Every single one! I was laughing.
I saw Paul Peterson tonite also. He was excellent. He got good points across and there was a bit of a shouting match going on. Jane was on Paul`s side.
He clarified that the Coogan law does not reside in PA.

I cannot stand Elizabeth either – she adds NO value to the panel and its discussions. I actually liked her on Survivor though…..
As for KON visiting Korea – I can’t even think about that, and hopefully it will never happen. I am 100% Korean (born and raised in the US) and the thought of KON adopting a Korean baby and/or tainting the beauty of Korea by being there makes me sick. And you are right, it is too unstable right now, why take any risk (not that TLC or KON would care anyway, anything for ratings, right?!)
Jon is a disgrace – he does not embody ANY of those ideals that Koreans embrace : education, hard work, family, respect. K8 won’t be able to handle a culture so vastly different than her own – she is simply too ignorant.

Re: Steve’s denials
in the life and style snippet, i think it is very telling that steve denied the affair, and then volunteered that the kids are doing okay. this latter comment struck me as so out of place.
he has a right to deny the affair because he has been accused. but what kind of professional bodyguard then volunteers information about their minor clients? a more “personally involved” one i guess.

I was able to get my comments through on The View, but I did mine earlier today. And as far as Carlos Diaz goes, I did not think that psychology degrees out of bubble gum machines qualified to go on tv and comment.
A double pack of Easter Peeps to Preesi and Peppermint Patties to Moon on the scans!! Thank you so much!!
I saw the segment on The View this morning but was so uber exhausted from insomnia that I can barely recall it. I do remember being excessively disgusted with Elisabeth (more so than usual)– thanks everyone for reminding me why! I too gave her the one finger salute this morning …
I completely agree with Emily (post #26). That article is so funny! The guy who wrote it must be great in bed!
Silliness aside, I wrote the anti-Kate rant and and was surprised to see this link, but I fully support y’all and this site. It is so strange how a random couple became such a cultural phenomenon, but I’ve gotten sucked in as much as anyone else. When my wife brings home her US Weekly or whichever mag, I pretend like I’m not interested and then steal it when she’s in the other room.
Keep up the good work!

That preview clip from the Insider is just a bullshit sundae with whipped cream and a cherry on top.

Right?!?! I too venture to the other side for amusement. There was a comment from someone talking about how “Jon lost his job when the babies were born and Kate picked up the pace. She worked long hours as a nurse with six babies at home.”
I wanted to knock my head against the wall a few times in an attempt to wipe out the memory of reading such a bullsh*t line!! Seriously! I’m coveting ISeeStupidPeople’s screen name at the moment….
on 29 May 2009 at 3:40 am#106Pippa
You know – in all seriousness here . . .
I refused to watch the show, but I did see the clip (while surfing the ‘net) of little Alexis hugging her father and telling him that she never wanted him to go away again.
I’m telling ‘ya (and I may have said it before – and if so, I apologize), THAT one tugged at my heart-strings.
And I will also say that I really do feel a bit for Jon. Sure, he needs to “man up” and grow a backbone, but I really really do think that he is the better parent here, and that he has more or less been “pistol-whipped” by Kate to this point.
He looks so defeated in the pictures.
A sad situation all around.

The Insider clip is unreal. K8 being as fake as her tan – when she talks to her kids, her voice just sounds so forced and hollow, no real love, no real warmth.
So disappointed in Charm City Cakes for hosting K8.
Also, I would love to see if K8 had any semi recent book signings in the San Diego area. I do not believe for one second that Mady just POOF! decided she wanted to go to SD so off they went. There had to be a reason why they went there. K8 does NOTHING for/with her kids unless it is to exploit them and make $.
I am so glad that I don’t watch this show anymore.

I feel sorry for the poor shrew! Maybe it’s just me, but the little critter just looks unhappy with the Kate explosion hairdo!
On a more serious note, has anyone looked to see who the producers are this season? I seem to recall that J&K were supposed to become producers. I don’t have TIVO and I really don’t want to actually watch this trainwreck on TV, but if someone can just fast-forward through it all and find out, I think that would be interesting and something to mull over.
I was wondering if the “Night at the Museum 2″ interview with the kids was ever aired? I heard about it but never saw it. This was when Kate was so thrilled that her kids were so “comfortable in interviews.”
on 29 May 2009 at 9:19 am#116amyf

on 29 May 2009 at 9:53 am#117amyf
From Thursday’s Boston Globe:
“She’s angry and he’s sad — and of the pair, he seems the most regretful that they went down this path in the first place. He realizes that his kids will watch this someday, and he’ll have to answer for everything. The only player in the enterprise with no apparent qualms was TLC itself, which has played up the tension for maximum suspense. Will the Gosselins’ marriage survive? Will the kids get mad? Keep watching to find out! The sad truth is, we probably will.”

Just had a quick thing on news. According to US magazine – recipes were stolen from magazine articles or off product boxes. Gee, I can’t believe it! (snort!) I wonder who figured that out (and what they’re going to do about it).
on 29 May 2009 at 10:44 am#120Heidi
Still not fully caffeinated yet..LOL I was looking up anything about Katie Irene being called out for plagiarism but I did not find anything really. Did anyone else find anything?
There is a little blurb on the Evil Beet about it but nothing in other news outlets. If she wanted to put Monkey Munch in the cookbook, she would have to get permission from Chex and give them a credit somewhere in the book. Even though I cannot stand Kate, I have to admit that our family loves this stuff. It is like crack! I have made big bowls for birthday slumber parties and it disappears.
That would be another nail in her coffin if they yanked the cookbook. No more book signing trips for YOU.

Bowel Movement is talking about the fact that GWOP is taking letters to mail to Jodi and Kevin. She feels they are affiliated in some way shape or form.

“E” is supposed to have a story on tonight ,”Jon & Kate – Twisted Fate” (or something like that) – Friday night 5/29/09 (not sure what time) Guiliana Rancic said that’s there’s “some interesting stuff in there”. Hopefully it will show the truth, and not play J & K as victims.
One of the late night entertainment news shows showed Jon and Kate in the early days, before they were married. Then they showed Kate throughout the years, emasculating Jon on national TV. They are asking people to submit videos of nominees for the country’s best “wifezilla”. Should there even BE a contest at this point? Pretty sure Katie Irene has that title LOCKED IN!
I agree with all of you who think that Elisabeth Hasselbeck has no real purpose on The View. How did she beat out all those other women for that job??? Don’t even get me started on Sherri Shepherd…Barbara Walters must be losing it.

And so is that stupid Carlos Diaz – that guy is a moron. (Sorry Gram 123) He just said that Paul Petersen is WAY OFF BASE. Paul just told Carlos that he is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG
Moon, I watched it too and believe me, you have no ideal what names I was calling him OUTLOUD. Bet I had some you probably never heard of.
I am ashamed that my husband is even associated with him. Oh yeah Moon, a few weeks ago, when Carlos was in town, my husband did mention the J&K show and told him alot of bloggers were upset with him. Apparently he didn’t care. I have watched him a couple of times and he is still clueless! The idiot doesn’t care, he still gets his paycheck!! That’s pretty much what my husband told him. Since he (husband) has never seen the show, he refuses to even discuss with me about anything to do with the show.
Hey…….. he’s a man, if it ain’t golf,work related or on the cover of Sports Ill., he has no comments.
Carlos truly did look like a total fool and Paul came right back at him. Did you notice at the end, he tried to do to the famous turn-around with Paul? He finally did admit that he had to watch the Season Premier show.

I haven’t watched the show in a very long time. Mostly I read the recaps on various sites. I did however watch it Monday night. So many things to comment on but the one thing I did notice is that Jon looks like He Wants Out. Out of the show but mostly out of the marriage. His comment “i’m here for my kids” kind of said it all to me. Now that I have seen the beginning of what I hope is the end there is no need to watch again. I’ll read the articles and recaps.

I haven’t seen it brought up yet but did anyone else catch the blurb on one of the articles that said Jon and Kate’s church had asked them to leave? I wish they would speak out publicly.
I did not hear that KON’s church asked them to leave. Anybody have details on this? The tups are supposedly going to pre-school there….
**********************************
I read all the scans over at preesi’s site and it was in one of the articles. I also read a comment a few weeks ago at GWoP from a member of that church that suggested the same thing.
Regarding the tups and preschool, I think they may attend preschool at the twins country day school….even though they made it appear that the tups attend at the church but I am not 100% sure. The school offers programs from pre-k to 12.
on 29 May 2009 at 2:20 pm#131louise
The church reference is in the latest Star – they say
goes on sale today – however, I find it takes several days to be displayed.
Unable to bring up the article very clear – any way
to improve on it???
Why doesn’t k stay home and enjoy their own place and pool for the holiday weekend???
One doesn’t have to be constantly on the go.
Hopefully the cookbook has been shot down since
issues of plagarism is now an issue.

Kate is a test case to find out how much free advertising corporate marketers can shove onto one person before viewers catch on and tune out.

“Note to corporate marketers: SEEING YOUR PRODUCTS PIMPED BY KATE MAKES ME NOT WANT TO BUY THEM!!!!!!!!!!! AT ALL!!! EVER!”
I purchase things that I like, my family likes or that someone I know personally recommended. Celebrity (not that K8 is one ) endoresements have absolutely no influence on what I buy, but it certainly does influence what I won’t , and in this case, anything that is connected with Katie Irene.
on 29 May 2009 at 4:38 pm#137littlemac
Also, I would love to see if K8 had any semi recent book signings in the San Diego area. I do not believe for one second that Mady just POOF! decided she wanted to go to SD so off they went. There had to be a reason why they went there. K8 does NOTHING for/with her kids unless it is to exploit them and make $.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think they taped this when Kate was doing the book signings back in April. There where rumors that the whole family was out there with her.

Don’t know if this has been posted yet, but on the website for Fox 29 from Philadelphia there is an article about Kate & the kids on vacation on Monday.
Here are a few more “recipes” to add in K8’s cookbook:
-Bred pudding
-Babe ghanoush
-Helloooo Jello
-Off of baby’s back ribs
-Banot-a-nanny Bread
-Belittle Bits
-Freemeat loaf
-Who Would Give You Gumbo?

HOT DAMN – TMZ has a breaking news blip on their website that the PA Dept. of Labor is investigating…story developing…
on 29 May 2009 at 5:44 pm#142gabby
I read on another forum that Kate and “another guy” (prob Mr. Gray) and only one of the kids were spotted in San Diego “recently”. The post was dated mid-May (18th?) so I assume that the San Diego/Mady’s Trip was filmed sometime late April or early May. A couple of people posted about how they heard about the sighting on San Diego radio.

Yes, it is up as an entry

I apologize if I am repeating info … I just saw this on the WGAL website (Lancaster PA news channel):
The Pennsylvania Department of Labor said that it is looking into whether the hit reality show “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ is complying with child labor laws.
News 8 reporter Jim Sinkovitz spoke to a Department of Labor official who said a complaint had been made and that it is being investigated. The official would not say who made the complaint, but did point out that the agency must investigate any complaint that is filed.

WHY can’t any of these tabloid shows do some real research ?
The Maui vacation alone was worth over $50,000- airfare, hotel , private chartered boat, food, reception. Maui is the most expensive of the Hawaiian islands, and the Wailea area on Maui is the most expensive section of Maui. * rolling eyes*

seachelle,
This $100,000 figure they are throwing out is beyond ridiculous! This is mere petty cash! If you add up ALL the vacations alone (Maui, California, Disney World, North Carolina, Memphis) with FIRST CLASS AIRFARE for 10 people, first class hotel accomodations, meals, outings, and other diversions, we are probably looking at a million bucks already! This does not include the “in-kind” freebies like clothes, plastic surgery, hair plugs, teeth whitening, household supplies, food, etc., add on another close to $500,000 to $1 million. I wish the IRS would do a full audit of these scammers.

I let her know about the articles being cut off, I am sure that she will fix them, she is good like that
And yes, that is a shrew, lol.
Awww. I have a shrew that lives in my closet and I assure you she is much nicer than Kate GossGreed.

Did you get your Musings T-shirt, BTW?
Nice to see that ass-backwards beaver mullet is a fitting do for a variety of vermin.
I couldn’t help but snicker when I read that Kate wants her own clothing line, ala Jaqueline Smith (K-Mart?).
This is the woman who once claimed to have no skills whatsoever in choosing clothing for herself and left that sort of thing up to Jon?
She is walking talking proof that Bullshit lives and breathes.
I am not saying woman should always bend over and take it up the butt, BUT:
IF Jon cheated, he seems genuinely sorry.
Kate herself says she has treated him like a pile of turd for at least 10 years. She should assume she has some responsibility in pushing him to seek affection elsewhere.
IF she were at all interested in saving their marriage, for the sake of her children at least, she should be willing to take steps to overcome whatever anger she says she is holding onto, be an adult, and seek to repair the damage that they both have caused their relationship. If nothing else, she should get herself to a counselor, ASAP, to work on herself and the myriad flaws and mental problems she exhibits.
I get the feeling, she just doesn’t care and probably hasn’t cared about him other than the fact he was able to produce viable sperm for quite sometime.
As an adult, I am ashamed of their behavior.
As a parent, I am appalled at their behavior.
And as a woman of a certain age I want to say to her: Dipshit—it ain’t always greener on the other side of the fence.
Learn to love youself so you can love others. And be happy with what you have now, because one day, it may all be gone.

Wow…I just finished reading the US Weekly article….
I recently started volunteering at a non-profit that assists survivors of domestic violence (men and women), and while reading that article I kept seeing the red flags they taught us about: isolation from family and friends, verbal abuse, financial abuse, etc. Granted-that is the picture the writer wanted to paint.

Debate on whether Jon can get out of show contract.
I just read the “statement” from TLC stating that they only film 2 times a week for two hours and they don’t film in the kids bedrooms. Does anyone know which episode it was where Kate said they filmed 3-4 days a week? I wanted to possibly make a montage of “lies” that the Gosselins/TLC have purported.
I haven’t seen it brought up yet but did anyone else catch the blurb on one of the articles that said Jon and Kate’s church had asked them to leave? I wish they would speak out publicly.
Judy after watching CNN Showbiz Today where they issued statement from TheLyingChannel I felt compelled to email them some facts (the one about filming is in YouTube clip):
After watching Showbiz Tonight 5/27 re: Jon & Kate Plus 8 there were a couple of items stated that are not fact:
1-This show HAS NOT been on 5 years. It has been 5 ’seasons’. Season 1 (prior to the 2 specials) started April 23, 2007. Season 4 ended March 23, 2009, season 5 started May 25, 2009. This show is not aired in typical broadcast seasons!
Episode guides can be found here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1124348/episodes
You can also access episode info from The Lying Channel’s Jon & Kate Plus 8 page:
http://tlc.discovery.com/videos/jon-kate-plus-8-season-5-webisodes/
Season 1-5 webisodes available.
2-This show films MORE THAN 2 HOURS A DAY, 2 DAYS A WEEK! You DO NOT pump out 100 episodes in just over 2 years time on that filming schedule! The Gosselins have stated that this show films an average of 3-4 days a week see Season 4 Episode 31 3:50 &4:20 mark:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6r069Aet_6U
3-While filming may not be taking place in the children’s bedrooms NOW, they most certainly filmed them in their bedrooms (as well as in bathrooms & on potty chairs!) in the past! Pull up webisodes on TLC or YouTube or the first 4 ’season’s’ dvds and you will see this to be FACT.
4-They have NOT retained the same crew throughout the entire show! Producer Jen Stocks and cameraman ‘Scott’ are 2 notables NO LONGER WITH THE SHOW. One of the more recent episodes-late season 4 talks about it-contact me and I’ll find the link, but there is only 1 original crew left and his name is ‘Mike’. Although you can probably just access show credits and find the crew from there.

Us Magazine article re: Jon at bar and Kate w/ bodyguards & kids on ferry:

Jon and Kate Gosselin Spend More Time Apart
Thursday May 28, 2009
Jon and Kate Gosselin Spend More Time Apart
Jon Gosselin spent Memorial Day minus Kate and the kids.
The same day the new season of their TLC show premiered, he was photographed drinking a beer with two ladies at Front Street Bar & Grill in Newburgh, NY, TMZ.com reports.
Where have Kate and the kids been?
Along with her bodyguard Steve Neild, she was spotted with most of their brood getting off a ferry on Bald Head Island, NC, Wednesday morning.
After Monday’s season five premiere – during which Kate and Jon admitted they may divorce — the two released the following statement: “As many couples do, we are navigating a very difficult time. Our current situation brings us together around the children and some times sets us apart. We keep our faith that we will make the right decisions for our family.”
The new issue of Us Weekly has even more details on Kate’s tight leash on Jon, and the long, strange private dynamic between the deteriorating couple.
“She used to give him only $5 to spend, and if he was out and needed more money, she would give him hell,” his former employer at Style Craft Corp, David Rothermel, tells Us.
For more details on Kate’s terrifying control over Jon — including how she banned him from seeing his brothers after his father’s funeral, what you didn’t see on the TV premiere and how his lack of motivation and love of money have kept him with Kate — pick up the newest issue of Us Weekly, on stands today.

After watching Showbiz Tonight 5/27 re: Jon & Kate Plus 8 there were a couple of items stated that are not fact:
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I was just about to address this as I did stay up last night and watched Showbiz Tonight. I was gobsmacked at the lies TLC told them, and I called the Showbiz Tonight number. I would urge anyone reading this or who saw the show or the YouTube video to call and and set the records straight. It is amazing to me that TLC would out and out lie as some of the things they lied about are on the Gosselin show plain as day and/or have been said by the Gosselins themselves in numerous articles in magazines, particularly about filming and the crew.
TLC is as scummy as everyone else involved in this mess.
After watching all of the interviews/panels fraught with misinformation, I couldn’t let that bunch of TLC bullshit slip through. Loved Judy Kuriansky’s opening comment ‘first of all, get rid of that Gwen Stefani haircut…’
Chelsea Handler really let it be known last night that she thinks Kate is a bitch…
Did you catch The View today, Moon?

Did you catch The View today, Moon?
No I didn’t. Anything interesting go down?
Yeah, I’ll have to rewatch it and take notes for you when I get home…
I really need to thank you both Mrs. Moon and Preesi. Your generosity is appreciated. Saved us a lot of time and money. The lies are pathetic. They know it is on tape and stlll contradict themselves. Not even sneaky. Seeing the pic of Jon with Alexis reminded me that they shared a bedroom in the basement of the old house. Oh, Mady. She is not going to keep quiet. Poor little girl does not want to lose her daddy.

Tam,
As a matter of fact, the night before last (Tuesday?), I happened to have the Duggar’s on. Michelle Duggar was talking about Scott, “our camera man” – she named him by last name, “Enlow” and they showed Scott. Same dude as at the KONpound!! Jen Stocks is no longer with KON. In one of the magazine articles, it stated that members of the crew left on “moral grounds.”
Forgot to add, “Jeff” is the new KON producer replacing Jen and he is the one now doing the “couch confessional” interviews.

I did not hear that KON’s church asked them to leave. Anybody have details on this? The tups are supposedly going to pre-school there….
Just came across this.
Ya think there may be a name change for this crock pot full of shit cookbook before it goes to print?
Love is in the Mix?????
R U Kidding me????
http://www.usmagazine.com/news/kate-gosselin-to-release-love-is-in-the-mix-cookbook-2009275
Kate Gosselin has plenty on her plate, but that isn’t stopping her from publishing a new cookbook.
Her third book, Love Is in the Mix: Making Meals into Memories, is due to hit stores Oct. 13, 2009, according to Amazon.com.
See Jon and Kate Gosselin through the years.
The Jon & Kate Plus 8 star is already the author of Multiple Bles8ings: Surviving to Thriving with Twins and Sextuplets and the recently released Eight Little Faces, for which she has recently traveled the nation to promote.
“Fans … won’t want to miss this inside look at one of America’s most famous close-knit families,” the back cover states.
In addition to offering nutritious recipes and tips on eating organically, Love Is in the Mix promises to teach readers “how to craft family traditions that create happy memories” and “how to feed a large family on a budget.” The book will include family photos and anecdotes about her twins and sextuplets.
According to the site, Kate will also offer insight into handling picky eaters, making lunchtime fun, planning meals for vacations, and making ordinary days “extra special.”
Although excerpts from the book have not yet been released, commenters have already begun slamming the star’s previously released recipes and claim she stole them “from product boxes and magazine articles.”
One person wrote that her recipe for the cereal treat Monkey Munch — which was mentioned on the TLC show — is the same as one on the Chex brand website and calls it “plagiarism.”
Other commenters were shocked that the woman who once said that “real cooks don’t need recipes” was qualified to write a cookbook. They wrote on Amazon.com that on the show, Kate does little to “no cooking, no meals, just snacks — crackers, yogurt, grapes, cukes and peppers in pita. The woman can’t cook.”
Still, with Kate’s previous two books reaching the New York Times Best Seller list, the book’s publishers are likely expecting similar success with Love Is in the Mix. In addition to her income from book sales, the newest issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands today, reports that the Gosselins — who live in a $1.1 million house — earn approximately $50,000 to $75,000 per show.

What Can I Do?
My inbox is being flooded with emails asking, “What Can I do?” It’s so encouraging to know that our message is getting out there, and people are realizing that children in reality TV need laws to protect them.
Paul Petersen established the organization A Minor Consideration to support child stars and other child laborers through legislation, family education, and personal intervention and counseling for those in crisis. I’m in contact with Mr. Petersen and asked him where we go from here.
I wanted to share his response, and encourage everyone to join together. Let’s keep the momentum going in a positive direction, and help get these laws passed so that ALL children will have protection.
Hi Julie,
I’m proud to say we are the leading advocate for National Legislation (and, if you heard Bob Edwards Show, we’re after Pennsylvania, too, for failing to apply their own laws!). You should also know that we’re after Octo-Mom and my personal lawsuit will be heard in Superior Court on June 22nd 2009.
Donations for A Minor Consideration…Fed ID: 95-4585623…can be mailed to:
A Minor Consideration
15003 S Denker Avenue
Gardena, CA
90247
We at AMC are well down the road to get National Legislation, but we need all the support we can get…especially from an Army of perfectly normal people who are tired of being lied to and having their televisions filled up with scripted reality shows that want only to exploit children.
Here is my essay from last year warning about the current troubles that bedevil the Gosselin family: http://www.minorcon.org/jon_kate1.html
Have people email me at this address. I will read and respond as I have for the past 19 years.
We really and truly are the ONLY national group with credibility and a proven track record in Legislation that has been hammering on this exploitation of working kids…as only former kid stars can know…and now a large and growing number of innocent children caught in the maw of so-called reality television.
Tell folks to come to our site…donate if they can…and we’ll help them marshall themselves into a potent Army.
We are ALL “mad as Hell,” and now that the conspiracy has been uncovered it is time to act.
Both theatrical unions (Screen Actors Guild and AFTRA) have voted unanimously at their national Board meetings to pursue national legislation to protect all children, everywhere.
Let’s do this now.
Fraternally,
Paul Petersen

Don’t know how I found this website but this made me laugh so I thought I’d share it . . .
http://fourthandfifty.com/2009/05/14/may-14th-houston-sports-faf-smear-plus-kate-gosselin/
Kate Gosselin is the worst person in the world. Two months ago I actually wrote a post comparing her to Kim Jong Il, but then couldn’t figure out how to make a sports connection and deleted it. So I’m not Johnny Come Lately to the Kate Gosselin Hatewagon. I’m driving the sumbitch, and have been so since The Random Baby Momma got preggers. Let’s start at the start.
If you don’t have a baby, or a pregnant wife/girlfriend, or one who desparately wants to be pregnant, you have no idea who the fuck Kate Gosselin is. If you have or are any of the above, you know exactly who the fuck she is. As soon as your significant other becomes pregnant, your TV only picks up one channel and the DVR only records Jon and Kate Plus 8 and 18 Kids And Counting. Now the Baptist wife from 18 is crazy as shit, but she is very nice. Kate Plus 8 (and probably Minus Jon, the way things are going) is crazy and mean and a femo-nazi. Those of you who are in the “with child” category are nodding your heads sadly. She is Lucifer. She is a vag-strocity. She is Kyle’s Mom.
I’ve never rooted for marital infidelity before, but I don’t blame Jon at all if he is humping around with anyone who isn’t Kate. He can hump a college student, or dirty dance with two girls, or have relations with a goat. Whatever he needs to recover from the PTSD of being married to Kate, who by the way isn’t a fucking saint herself. The lesson is, never get married. I don’t think you bachelors out there understand how important this is, so I’ll put it in caps. WOMEN ARE THE DEVIL! SAVE YOURSELF!

Excellent and thank you! I urge everyone to go to A Minor Consideration’s site email Paul and tell him that you are behind him and the organization working towards this legislation, or and donate if you can. I know in this economic climate it may not be possible, however.
I love Whoopie & Barbara. Even Elizabeth the bobble head actually said something intelligent. Would someone please email the View & tell stupid Sherri that Moon, GWoP and others have always been fighting for the kids. (I’d email, but I can never make my ABC account work)

Well a Shrew of course
Don’t feel bad, how many people know what a shrew looks like off the bat, well except for Kate Gosselin, of course!
“According to the site, Kate will also offer insight into handling picky eaters”
Is her INSIGHT “NO CAKE FOR YOU” for handling picky eaters??
Clothing line? Last time I checked a pink shirt does not go with a Red Leather Jacket in the month on May.
Emily, I almost fell on the floor laughing at that post. It is hysterical!
Lisa ~
I couldn’t help but snicker when I read that Kate wants her own clothing line, ala Jaqueline Smith (K-Mart?).
This is the woman who once claimed to have no skills whatsoever in choosing clothing for herself and left that sort of thing up to Jon?
She is walking talking proof that Bullshit lives and breathes.
Kate would actually have no real hand in ‘designing’ anything (other than maybe saying, yeah, that looks good thru an e-mail or something as worthless as that). Just like Multiple Blessings which she didn’t write, or her recent family photo album disguised as a book. She’d merely lend her name to some store’s clothing line hoping to cash in on the popularity of her name – if she can manage to keep it positive.
ooooh another one! “kate rules for making memories”
Rules:
1. Get a plastic resin chair and sit your ass in it.
2. Once ass is in chair, bark orders.
anyone got rule #3?
Hey Guys:
About The View video. I just Googled The View, their site came up and so did the video about the Jane & Hate show. Whoopi was the only one who said anything that might stick with people who don’t know the situation. I tried to e-mail them to enlighten them that there are people who are fighting for these children but they don’t make it easy……I won’t give up, though.
Moon ~ love the shrew picture. I printed it and it’s hanging right where I can see it all the time. Too, too, funny.
This show doesn’t have much longer. TLC is taking a HUGE hit right now and everyone knows that’s bad business. Kate will be flushed down the toilet along with Baby Mamma and Mr. Buzzy. It’s just a matter of time.

But, but, but, Kate would be too exhausted to repeat steps 1 and 2. She has EIGHT, I repeat EIGHT children, you know!

“Love the picture! I am so blonde….I looked at it and looked at it again and thought to myself “what is that strange ugly little thing???” Then I realized it had Kate’s hair! ”
Ditto for me – I’m getting slow in my old age =)
Kate did sign on with Walmart and Health Tex to design a children’s clothing line. It’s a done deal and she gave away samples of an outfit to the audience at Rachel Ray. I wonder if that’s the clothing line they are referring to?
Keep writing to Walmart and tell them you won’t shop there til the shrew is gone. They sent me a response that they take their emails seriously ( gee…where have we heard that before ). I think if enough people complain, and with all the sudden negative media coverage, they just may drop her ass. But they won’t if not many people complain.

They really are just a little tooooo comfortable with each other. STOP lying Kate and stop throwing your HUSBAND under the bus every freaking chance you get!!!
Any company or sponsor rep with even ONE brain cell in their head would steer as far away as possible from associating Kate Gosselin’s name to their product. It was said before that Octomom was the most vilified woman in the world but it looks like Kate may have just surpassed her.
Perfume?
Called what? Shrew by Kate Gosselin ? Poop scented?

Well Zondervan seems to be holding on to her since PR just reported that “Love is in the Mix” (BWAHHAHAHAHAH) is still being released. I am surprised that Zondervan would keep her on, quite frankly, but I guess I should not be. Christian publisher or not, I guess it is, for everyone, all about the almighty buck before the Almightly God.
I also wanted to email The View regarding Elizabeth’s uninformed comments that nobody cared about the exploitation of the kids until Jon’s rumored affair broke. Elizabeth is always tooting her own horn about how much research she does before the shows, guess she missed the ball on this particular topic. Anyway, I cannot seem to locate the link on The View’s Home page?
If anyone can provide some assistance it would be greatly appreciated. I was thinking of just using the main ABC contact email?
Once again, though, Whoopi was right on in her comments. Moon, I know you’ve always loved her, now I can see why !
Paul Petersen is on Jane Velez-Mitchell right now!
And so is that stupid Carlos Diaz – that guy is a moron. (Sorry Gram 123) He just said that Paul Petersen is WAY OFF BASE. Paul just told Carlos that he is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.
Carlos just stated that the parents are getting the money and that they will give the money to the kids. Paul states that their is no guarentee of this and there are no laws in PA regarding this. The rub regarding most state laws inre: children is the definition of what is an actor. The same clarifications that I asked of the PA Labor Board and the Governor’s office who never responded to me.
Carlos states that there is no way that they could not live without this money. THIS GUY IS CLUELESS. He says that the opportunities that they are afforded by this out weighs anything.
The shrink on the panel states that they are somewhere in between an actor and a non-actor but to think that they will not be affected by this is ludicrous.
Now Carlos is saying to take the kids off the show because everyone is watching due to the marriage imploding. But that is really the only reason to take them off the show. He says now that he is in Paul’s corner.
WTF?
It should be interesting to see what he says tonight on Showbiz Tonight. He spouts the same crap on there every night as well. What a weenie.
Show over.
Paul made a great presentation and made Carlos look like the ass he is.
GO PAUL!

Here’s the link to The View. I hope this works for you. I
Love Katies hair on the shrew Moon, it looks so much better!!
To bad we didn’t have a direct email to Kate to send her a copy. :O)
Thanks for the recap of JVM, Moon. Was flipping back and forth to Entertainment Tonight as they had the ‘exploitation’ angle going tonight as well. But, let me tell you, everytime I got back to JVM, Carlos was spewing shite outta his piehole. He’s giving Jon a run for the money in the ‘TOOL’ dept. The man is an idiot. Set dvr for 5am repeat, anxious to see Paul speak…

Oh yeah, speaking of ‘tools’…Ryan Seacrest on E! News keeps ragging on Kate’s ‘do. Wonder if she still thinks it’s ‘all that’ now that everybody who’s discussing this trainwreck makes mention of how horrendously horrendous it is…
A couple people mentioned that the Greedslin’s website has been down. I tried it and got a message indicating, “bandwith limit exceeded.” I looked this up and it means that the bandwidth allowance that the web hosting service provides on a person’s current plan has been used up. It gets used up if the site receives more traffic than it can handle. Gee, I wonder why the Greedlin’s site has been flooded?!! And I just thought KON took it down because they knew their jig was up and maybe they were embarrassed. I am so naive!!

Elizabitch Hasselbitch is a twaffle. She is so militantly right-wing. Why she just doesn’t get a job with James Dobson of Focus on the Family is beyond me. She would be perfect for that organization!
Everyone~
I wrote in and told them I had been blogging about the Gosselins and the Gosselin child exploitation for over 10 months on Musings from the Moon and perhaps Elizabeth should do some research on the matter. I also asked them to keep looking into this and to please contact Paul Petersen and have him on the show to explain the issues and the dire need for legislation to be enacted to protect ALL children in Reality TV shows.
Please write in everyone. It only takes a minute!

I also emailed Paul Petersen.
I’m on to the View now…..
And here’s a question: if KON is still taking that trip to Korea with those poor children, isn’t this a bad idea given that the political situation in North Korea is tense what with their missle testing? I am not faint of heart, but I would not take my kids there. They will be in South Korea, obviously, but I would be very uneasy about a trip there with eight young children. You never know what kind of stuff could occur – not to be fatalistic – I just would not chance it. Those kids are FAR too young for such a trip anyway. But then, it’s not about them – it’s about ratings.
Denny~
I find Joy Behar to be the real moron on that show,
I have not seen The View a great deal, but from what I have seen, I like Joy. I LOVE Whoopi, but have always loved her. Elizabeth makes my head explode. I don’t know the other black woman at all, and Barbara is an icon and for that reason alone, I respect her (I also happen to like her, though I think in these latter years she has lost some of her edge).

This show doesn’t have much longer. TLC is taking a HUGE hit right now and everyone knows that’s bad business. Kate will be flushed down the toilet along with Baby Mamma and Mr. Buzzy. It’s just a matter of time.
As much as I want to believe this will happen, I’m not too sure that’s going to be the case. I heard – I think on a tabloid show last night, that TLC had recently upped their order for number of shows for this season to 40 (from a much smaller original plan – according to this commentator). But, we know TLC isn’t the most truthful about their practices, though. Anyway, I have a feeling that we’re going to see Jon fade from the screen as the season goes on and that it’s gonna end up a show with Kate alone with the kids next season. She has no intention of stopping this show unless someone forces her to and as long as TLC can make money on the show it will go on.
By the way, did anyone else notice that the pic of Kate with the kids in NC included TWO bodyguards, a college age helper, plus who knows how many others. My first thoughts after hearing where she’d gone was that she was ‘making more memories’ and in a way reliving a bit of the holiday memories from last year in NC. How sad that it’s just her, the kids, and paid help when they could be surrounded by family and friends — if she hadn’t slammed the door to everyone. IMO, she’s being defiant and is saying to the world and trying to convince everyone (and herself) that nothing is wrong with Mr. Neild being her constant companion. Too bad she doesn’t care enough about what her children will hear and read about the 2 of them to acknowledge she is sending up a huge question mark about their true relationship.
It says I’ve already sent the maximum 5 comments! I never sent any comments!! WTF???

I agree with you. I think this display is a big “Fuck You” to everyone. Ever the narcissist!
I can’t leave a comment on the view!! I reached my max???
Yep, same thing happened to me. Hopefully it’s from an overload
4-They have NOT retained the same crew throughout the entire show! Producer Jen Stocks and cameraman ‘Scott’ are 2 notables NO LONGER WITH THE SHOW. One of the more recent episodes-late season 4 talks about it-contact me and I’ll find the link, but there is only 1 original crew left and his name is ‘Mike’. Although you can probably just access show credits and find the crew from there
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don’t think Mike is still there either. I saw him on the Dugger episode from Tuesday night. I started yelling at the t.v last night when I was watching that section. Every single thing TLC said can be proven wrong by just watching the show.

Exactly. I was gobsmacked at their out and out lies. How crazy is THAT?
Something strange is going on with The View comment page and I wonder if anyone else is having the same problem. I opened the page and immediately got the message “You cannot send more than 5 messages per hour. Please try again later.”
WTF??? I haven’t even been to their site since I stopped watching the show before the elections in Nov.
Anyone else having the same problem or have any suggestions on how to get through this wierd message block?

Yes, a lot of Musers are reporting have this issue. I am speculating that it is a glitch. Perhaps the system there is getting slammed? I don’t know if GWoP has been talking about The View, but they have a hell of a lot of posters/readers there so if they are, perhaps the system has too many trying to hit it at the same time.
I left a comment at the View earlier today (an e-mailed comment, not my usual “giving-Elisabeth-the-finger-through-the-TV-screen” comment), and it went through without any trouble. Hmmm…
Possible perfume names:
Eau de Illiterate
Orange Zest
Trailer Park Nights
Mullet Mist
Um…Um…Umbrosia
Organic Rapture
Smells Like Valtrex (that’s from Jon’s line…)
I had the same problem with “The View” site. I’ll keep trying.
My eyes are crossing so I will read in the morning but I wanted to share a funny.
My oldest daughter was online and she had me sit with her because she wanted me to help her google something..Mom is the Google master. Anyway, there is a page up to a message board she frequents. Every single solitary avatar had been photoshopped with a Kate hair-dont on it. Every single one! I was laughing.
I saw Paul Peterson tonite also. He was excellent. He got good points across and there was a bit of a shouting match going on. Jane was on Paul`s side.
He clarified that the Coogan law does not reside in PA.

I cannot stand Elizabeth either – she adds NO value to the panel and its discussions. I actually liked her on Survivor though…..
As for KON visiting Korea – I can’t even think about that, and hopefully it will never happen. I am 100% Korean (born and raised in the US) and the thought of KON adopting a Korean baby and/or tainting the beauty of Korea by being there makes me sick. And you are right, it is too unstable right now, why take any risk (not that TLC or KON would care anyway, anything for ratings, right?!)
Jon is a disgrace – he does not embody ANY of those ideals that Koreans embrace : education, hard work, family, respect. K8 won’t be able to handle a culture so vastly different than her own – she is simply too ignorant.
Moon ~ I think the reason we’re all getting the ‘more than 5 comments’ message from the view is that we’re all clicking on your link. I’m going to try signing off your site, then go directly to the View. Let you know if it works.
CJ— I tried that too and it didn’t work. I think it’s a glitch with their site.
Re: Steve’s denials
in the life and style snippet, i think it is very telling that steve denied the affair, and then volunteered that the kids are doing okay. this latter comment struck me as so out of place.
he has a right to deny the affair because he has been accused. but what kind of professional bodyguard then volunteers information about their minor clients? a more “personally involved” one i guess.
I was able to send a message just now.
Moon & All ~ I signed off of Musings and went directly to the http://www.theview.tv/contact_us worked for me. Just sent in my comment.
OMFG!!
The Insider had a future video with Mady in between them on the love-couch!! CPS story in 15 minutes!!
As far as the shrew teaming with Healthtex and Walmart, I sent a ranting to email to Healthtex over a week ago and told them aligning themselves with that nasty bitch was a stupid move. Here’s the response I got. Nice of them to really respond to my concerns huh?
“Thank you for taking the time to write us. Healthtex is committed to
making well-made children’s clothing that is fashionable, priced right
and wearable for almost any occasion. Our customers are really important
to us. We appreciate the feedback.”

I was able to get my comments through on The View, but I did mine earlier today. And as far as Carlos Diaz goes, I did not think that psychology degrees out of bubble gum machines qualified to go on tv and comment.

A double pack of Easter Peeps to Preesi and Peppermint Patties to Moon on the scans!! Thank you so much!!
I saw the segment on The View this morning but was so uber exhausted from insomnia that I can barely recall it. I do remember being excessively disgusted with Elisabeth (more so than usual)– thanks everyone for reminding me why! I too gave her the one finger salute this morning …
I completely agree with Emily (post #26). That article is so funny! The guy who wrote it must be great in bed!
Silliness aside, I wrote the anti-Kate rant and and was surprised to see this link, but I fully support y’all and this site. It is so strange how a random couple became such a cultural phenomenon, but I’ve gotten sucked in as much as anyone else. When my wife brings home her US Weekly or whichever mag, I pretend like I’m not interested and then steal it when she’s in the other room.
Keep up the good work!
Lol at the Insider clip- Maddy wants to go to San Diego for some alone time, Kate is SOLD! Hey, it’s Maddy’s money and she can spend it any way she wants, after all she’s almost 9.
Hi Random Guy, You are hilarious!!
Ahhh, Moon – you’ve learned to do Photoshop! A rat with “The Gosselin” do! I’m impressed! (Not with the “do”, but with your interpretation of it.)
I appreciate the links to all of the mags as I refuse to buy them and further support this train wreck.
On a side note (and because I just feel compelled to share it), I visited BM’s new “fanATIC” site, and I swear . . . that woman has the intelligence of a kumquat! (Just sayin’.)

That preview clip from the Insider is just a bullshit sundae with whipped cream and a cherry on top. All of it was obviously filmed a while ago before all the shit really hit the fan and all of it obviously designed to make the sheeple squee in delight at how happy the family is. That must be some magic marriage counseling they’re doing to put together that jigsaw puzzle of a family in such record time.

Right?!?! I too venture to the other side for amusement. There was a comment from someone talking about how “Jon lost his job when the babies were born and Kate picked up the pace. She worked long hours as a nurse with six babies at home.”
I wanted to knock my head against the wall a few times in an attempt to wipe out the memory of reading such a bullsh*t line!! Seriously! I’m coveting ISeeStupidPeople’s screen name at the moment….
You know – in all seriousness here . . .
I refused to watch the show, but I did see the clip (while surfing the ‘net) of little Alexis hugging her father and telling him that she never wanted him to go away again.
I’m telling ‘ya (and I may have said it before – and if so, I apologize), THAT one tugged at my heart-strings.
And I will also say that I really do feel a bit for Jon. Sure, he needs to “man up” and grow a backbone, but I really really do think that he is the better parent here, and that he has more or less been “pistol-whipped” by Kate to this point.
He looks so defeated in the pictures.
A sad situation all around.

Belle,
They never cease to amaze me. I am reminded of the scene in “The Wizard of Oz” where you hear the voice saying, “PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!!!!”
The Insider clip is unreal. K8 being as fake as her tan – when she talks to her kids, her voice just sounds so forced and hollow, no real love, no real warmth.
So disappointed in Charm City Cakes for hosting K8.
Also, I would love to see if K8 had any semi recent book signings in the San Diego area. I do not believe for one second that Mady just POOF! decided she wanted to go to SD so off they went. There had to be a reason why they went there. K8 does NOTHING for/with her kids unless it is to exploit them and make $.
I am so glad that I don’t watch this show anymore.
Just sent my comments in to The View.
I just commented at the View. No problems. I hope everyone who is having problems will eventually be able to get through. I cannot stand listening to Elisabeth. She is the biggest ding dong ever. Sorry but if you don’t what you’re talking about just don’t say anything. I just wish Elisabeth could do that.
Just heard NITELINE is going to talk about KON. This is getting ridiculous but I’m so glad that all OUR words are being spoken by experts for all the sheeple to hear. It’s got to be killing them!
I really can’t see anything atractive in Steve Nield at all, anymore than I can in Jon, Katie Irene just has BAD taste in men.
I feel sorry for the poor shrew! Maybe it’s just me, but the little critter just looks unhappy with the Kate explosion hairdo!
On a more serious note, has anyone looked to see who the producers are this season? I seem to recall that J&K were supposed to become producers. I don’t have TIVO and I really don’t want to actually watch this trainwreck on TV, but if someone can just fast-forward through it all and find out, I think that would be interesting and something to mull over.
I was wondering if the “Night at the Museum 2″ interview with the kids was ever aired? I heard about it but never saw it. This was when Kate was so thrilled that her kids were so “comfortable in interviews.”
Right now watching 5 a.m. local news – there was just a crawl across bottom of screen that Kate has been accused of stealing recipes for new book. No details (yet). HA!
From Thursday’s Boston Globe:
“She’s angry and he’s sad — and of the pair, he seems the most regretful that they went down this path in the first place. He realizes that his kids will watch this someday, and he’ll have to answer for everything. The only player in the enterprise with no apparent qualms was TLC itself, which has played up the tension for maximum suspense. Will the Gosselins’ marriage survive? Will the kids get mad? Keep watching to find out! The sad truth is, we probably will.”
–Joanna Weiss
What does the shrew have in its left hand?
Just had a quick thing on news. According to US magazine – recipes were stolen from magazine articles or off product boxes. Gee, I can’t believe it! (snort!) I wonder who figured that out (and what they’re going to do about it).
Still not fully caffeinated yet..LOL I was looking up anything about Katie Irene being called out for plagiarism but I did not find anything really. Did anyone else find anything?
There is a little blurb on the Evil Beet about it but nothing in other news outlets. If she wanted to put Monkey Munch in the cookbook, she would have to get permission from Chex and give them a credit somewhere in the book. Even though I cannot stand Kate, I have to admit that our family loves this stuff. It is like crack! I have made big bowls for birthday slumber parties and it disappears.
That would be another nail in her coffin if they yanked the cookbook. No more book signing trips for YOU.
Bowel Movement is talking about the fact that GWOP is taking letters to mail to Jodi and Kevin. She feels they are affiliated in some way shape or form.
I thought she said that her new site was all about the Gosselins and she wasnt going to talk about the *hate* sites anymore? Liar Liar pants on fire!
“E” is supposed to have a story on tonight ,”Jon & Kate – Twisted Fate” (or something like that) – Friday night 5/29/09 (not sure what time) Guiliana Rancic said that’s there’s “some interesting stuff in there”. Hopefully it will show the truth, and not play J & K as victims.
One of the late night entertainment news shows showed Jon and Kate in the early days, before they were married. Then they showed Kate throughout the years, emasculating Jon on national TV. They are asking people to submit videos of nominees for the country’s best “wifezilla”. Should there even BE a contest at this point? Pretty sure Katie Irene has that title LOCKED IN!
I agree with all of you who think that Elisabeth Hasselbeck has no real purpose on The View. How did she beat out all those other women for that job??? Don’t even get me started on Sherri Shepherd…Barbara Walters must be losing it.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck is just like Kate. Put the blame on the media, the public, instead of the perpetrators themselves.
Jon and Kate: Twisted Fate will be on at 10:30pm EST tonite on E.
Diet Pepsi: Check
Popcorn Kernels: Check
Real butter: Check
Sea salt: Check
Cleaned stove top popper: Check

And so is that stupid Carlos Diaz – that guy is a moron. (Sorry Gram 123) He just said that Paul Petersen is WAY OFF BASE. Paul just told Carlos that he is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG
Moon, I watched it too and believe me, you have no ideal what names I was calling him OUTLOUD. Bet I had some you probably never heard of.
I am ashamed that my husband is even associated with him. Oh yeah Moon, a few weeks ago, when Carlos was in town, my husband did mention the J&K show and told him alot of bloggers were upset with him. Apparently he didn’t care. I have watched him a couple of times and he is still clueless! The idiot doesn’t care, he still gets his paycheck!! That’s pretty much what my husband told him. Since he (husband) has never seen the show, he refuses to even discuss with me about anything to do with the show.
Hey…….. he’s a man, if it ain’t golf,work related or on the cover of Sports Ill., he has no comments.
Carlos truly did look like a total fool and Paul came right back at him. Did you notice at the end, he tried to do to the famous turn-around with Paul? He finally did admit that he had to watch the Season Premier show.
Dah….ya think ? You dumb ass ?

Do you have CVS Pharmacies in your area ? If you do, Peanut M&Ms (my absolute fave) are on sale =)
That is almost a mirror image of Kate. The only thing that would have made it perfect is for the shrew to be eating its young when they get in the way.
I haven’t watched the show in a very long time. Mostly I read the recaps on various sites. I did however watch it Monday night. So many things to comment on but the one thing I did notice is that Jon looks like He Wants Out. Out of the show but mostly out of the marriage. His comment “i’m here for my kids” kind of said it all to me. Now that I have seen the beginning of what I hope is the end there is no need to watch again. I’ll read the articles and recaps.

I haven’t seen it brought up yet but did anyone else catch the blurb on one of the articles that said Jon and Kate’s church had asked them to leave? I wish they would speak out publicly.
I did not hear that KON’s church asked them to leave. Anybody have details on this? The tups are supposedly going to pre-school there….
**********************************
I read all the scans over at preesi’s site and it was in one of the articles. I also read a comment a few weeks ago at GWoP from a member of that church that suggested the same thing.
Regarding the tups and preschool, I think they may attend preschool at the twins country day school….even though they made it appear that the tups attend at the church but I am not 100% sure. The school offers programs from pre-k to 12.
The church reference is in the latest Star – they say
goes on sale today – however, I find it takes several days to be displayed.
Unable to bring up the article very clear – any way
to improve on it???
Why doesn’t k stay home and enjoy their own place and pool for the holiday weekend???
One doesn’t have to be constantly on the go.
Hopefully the cookbook has been shot down since
issues of plagarism is now an issue.

Also, I would love to see if K8 had any semi recent book signings in the San Diego area. I do not believe for one second that Mady just POOF! decided she wanted to go to SD so off they went. There had to be a reason why they went there. K8 does NOTHING for/with her kids unless it is to exploit them and make $.

Jullie mentioned somewhere that the G’s don’t do ANYTHING unless they get something in return OR as an answer to whatever is going around rampant on the web.

Would you buy a cookbook by Kate Gosselin?
This was on MomLogic online.

Kate is a test case to find out how much free advertising corporate marketers can shove onto one person before viewers catch on and tune out.

“Note to corporate marketers: SEEING YOUR PRODUCTS PIMPED BY KATE MAKES ME NOT WANT TO BUY THEM!!!!!!!!!!! AT ALL!!! EVER!”
I purchase things that I like, my family likes or that someone I know personally recommended. Celebrity (not that K8 is one ) endoresements have absolutely no influence on what I buy, but it certainly does influence what I won’t , and in this case, anything that is connected with Katie Irene.
Also, I would love to see if K8 had any semi recent book signings in the San Diego area. I do not believe for one second that Mady just POOF! decided she wanted to go to SD so off they went. There had to be a reason why they went there. K8 does NOTHING for/with her kids unless it is to exploit them and make $.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think they taped this when Kate was doing the book signings back in April. There where rumors that the whole family was out there with her.
Don’t know if this has been posted yet, but on the website for Fox 29 from Philadelphia there is an article about Kate & the kids on vacation on Monday.

Here are a few more “recipes” to add in K8’s cookbook:
-Bred pudding
-Babe ghanoush
-Helloooo Jello
-Off of baby’s back ribs
-Banot-a-nanny Bread
-Belittle Bits
-Freemeat loaf
-Who Would Give You Gumbo?

Sorry, can’t resist adding just one more:

HOT DAMN – TMZ has a breaking news blip on their website that the PA Dept. of Labor is investigating…story developing…
I read on another forum that Kate and “another guy” (prob Mr. Gray) and only one of the kids were spotted in San Diego “recently”. The post was dated mid-May (18th?) so I assume that the San Diego/Mady’s Trip was filmed sometime late April or early May. A couple of people posted about how they heard about the sighting on San Diego radio.

Oh, “but it is a tabloid, dontcha know”, the naysayers will chant.
Lets see what People (the “legitimate” mag) volleys with, and you KNOW they will.
Has anyone seen this yet?

Apparently, the PA Dept of Labor is investigating them?

Yes, it is up as an entry
I apologize if I am repeating info … I just saw this on the WGAL website (Lancaster PA news channel):
The Pennsylvania Department of Labor said that it is looking into whether the hit reality show “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ is complying with child labor laws.
News 8 reporter Jim Sinkovitz spoke to a Department of Labor official who said a complaint had been made and that it is being investigated. The official would not say who made the complaint, but did point out that the agency must investigate any complaint that is filed.

Yep, it is up as an entry and we are discussing
Thank you! Public outcry does work … thank you Moon for leading the charge to make someone pay attention to the children’s welfare.
Moon, you wrote in response to an article in the Star,
“Oh, “but it is a tabloid, dontcha know”, the naysayers will chant.”
I once questioned this, and I hang my head in full humiliation and shame!
The Insider this evening also had this story. AND they talked about how the KON’s have racked up about $100,000 in freebies. I think this number is FAR too low.
Anyone been on TLC lately? When I click on Kate’s Birthday Pictures link I get this message:
A username and password are being requested by http://tlc.stg.discovery.com. The site says: “WARNING: To protect the system from unauthorized use and to ensure that the system is functioning properly, all activities are monitored and recorded.…”
There are also a few very interesting comments on her blog now. Have they stopped monitoring it?
Strange

WHY can’t any of these tabloid shows do some real research ?
The Maui vacation alone was worth over $50,000- airfare, hotel , private chartered boat, food, reception. Maui is the most expensive of the Hawaiian islands, and the Wailea area on Maui is the most expensive section of Maui. * rolling eyes*

seachelle,
This $100,000 figure they are throwing out is beyond ridiculous! This is mere petty cash! If you add up ALL the vacations alone (Maui, California, Disney World, North Carolina, Memphis) with FIRST CLASS AIRFARE for 10 people, first class hotel accomodations, meals, outings, and other diversions, we are probably looking at a million bucks already! This does not include the “in-kind” freebies like clothes, plastic surgery, hair plugs, teeth whitening, household supplies, food, etc., add on another close to $500,000 to $1 million. I wish the IRS would do a full audit of these scammers.

Cupcake,
I just tried it and I got the username and password request, too. I suspect that TLC is being bombarded with what they perceive as “hate mail.” I guess only the sheeple are allowed to see Take’s birthday pics. BM must be peeing in her unnawears in delight.
