This is WAY to good let pass away~

Word Game Wednesday is sitting in the dichotomy of the “here to soon” and in the “nick of time” because
Kate Gosselin is to appear on the Jay Leno show this week.

http://www.thejaylenoshow.com/episode-guide/

If you are so inclined, please feel free to write the interview between Jay and Kate and your fellow Musers will vote for the funniest on this thread, out of the top three “interviews” Moon chooses, from the whole.

The interview does not have to be long.

The winner’s “prizes” to be revealed at the end of the thread and voting.

In the interim, a hearty BWAAA………… BWAAAAHAAAAA to the most fun bits to come!

(PS~ to all the trolls out there, over the last going on year and a half I cared not what Kate did as long as her kids were not financially supporting her ~ in other words, rely on her own talents whatever the hell they may be – or not. Leave the kids out of it – I highly doubt she can do this, but I am willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. One more “woe is me and my kid’s are breaking down because they miss the camera crew, or even if the “Superman wanna be mother Kate” resorts to tears on national TV yet again, all bets are off!)

    Does anyone see the pattern here with regards to Kate’s appearances? Jay Leno – NBC. Natalie Morales – NBC. The Today Show – NBC. So, who at NBC is beholden to someone at The Learning Channel?

    Does her performance, oops, interview with Barbara Walters count? Didn’t she boo hoo her way through the interview, resort to tears because her kids were crying for the camera crew? I felt sad to hear that. I wonder if the kids were allowed to cry for their Aunt Jodi & Uncle Kevin?

    I’m with you, if she can financially support herself and the kids, on her own & NOT on the backs of the kids, I might reconsider my opinion about her. Maybe.

    Its early morning in my part of the world. I look forward to reading your blogs. Its good to see you’re feeling a little better. Thanks for keeping your site interesting!

    On the subject of ‘Famewhores’-guess who’s hoping to offer spiritual advice to Tiger Woods?
    Yep, Rabbi Schmuley.
    http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/showbiz.tonight/

    And…Michael Blowhan was arrested for allegedly violating a ‘protection of order’ sought by his ex-fiancee Erin Muller (she’s the dipshit that held up the ‘Divorced Dad’s Club’ sign in the photos in The Hamptons over the summer).

    Tam, when I saw the Rabbi I wanted to puke. How can he discuss “fame whores” when he’s the first one out there to DISCUSS FAME WHORES!

    I want to give him the respect he’s worked for but, just like Dr. Drew (whom I used to adore), their antics of exploiting the hurting disgusts me.

    Ok. I’ll play.

    Jay: Are the kids excited for Christmas.

    Kate: No, Jay. No Christmas this year. Since their father stopped the show the kids have nothing to celebrate.

    Jay: What does having a TV show have to do with the birth of our lord and saviour?

    Kate: I have bills to pay. Jon left me destitute so he could = cough = play with his girlfriends, that I NEVER tell my kids about. I was only able to go to the spa 3 times last month. My bodyguard still demands his salary for holding my purse.

    Jay: Why do you need a bodyguard?

    Kate: Jay, I am very well-hated. There is a movement of woman that hate me so much that they want to ruin me. Some of them actually accuse me of exploiting my kids!! Balderdash! They LOVE the cameras and the crew are their friends.

    Jay: Most ‘celebrities,’ and I use that term lightly, are stalked and killed by fans, not haters.

    Kate: I have one fan. She won’t kill me. She loves and when I can no longer support myself I plan to finally acknowledge this fan and hopefully, move in with her and babydaddy.

    Jay: Didn’t you save any of the money you earned the past five seasons?

    Kate: WE DON”T REFER TO OUR LIFE IN SEASONS. . . . but, no . . . why should I? Society encourages foolish spending so therefore society is responsible for keeping me living in style. Can we go to Nobu now? I WANT SUSHIIIIIII!!!!

    Good to see that TLC thought Blowhan was a ‘credible witness’ against Jon:
    http://www.tmz.com/2009/12/15/michael-lohans-ex-erin-muller-arrest-police-report-phone-call/
    Michael Lohan’s Ex: ‘I Want Him Arrested’
    Posted Dec 15th 2009 2:25PM by TMZ Staff

    Michael Lohan’s ex-girlfriend fears Lindsay Lohan’s dad “will do bad things to me and my family” — this, after Michael allegedly called her in a jealous fit.According to the police report obtained by TMZ, Erin Muller claims Michael first called her at 11:30 AM on Sunday and “started harassing me, questioning me who I have ‘been with, who’s car was currently in my drive way,’ things like that.”

    Erin told Suffolk County Police the first call lasted two minutes and the second lasted five — and that she recorded both conversations. Pretty ironic and sweet, given Michael’s penchant for secretly recording calls.

    In the report, Erin also told cops, “I want him arrested.” She got her wish — he was busted yesterday and charged with criminal contempt of court.
    ————-
    There’s more to the article…

    But Michael claims Erin’s lying — that she actually called him … and her claims are “fabricated.”

    Okay, here’s my go for the “interview”.
    Hope it’s not too long!

    THE JAY LENO SHOW REACHES NEW LOW

    Announcer: Welcome to The Jay Leno Show! Tonight, Jay’s guests are Pauley Shore and Kate (the Twaffle) Gosselin!

    JL: Good Evening! Help me to welcome my first guest. You all know her from her infamous TLC trainwreck of a show, “Jon & Kate + 8″, that paparazzi favorite, Kate Gosselin!

    (Audience response: Catcalls, boos, hissing and general derision. Kate clomps out in her hooker-heels, dressed like a tweener, skunky striped hair shining in the stage lights.)

    JL: ( looking surprised and uncomfortable) Hello, Kate. You’ve really had a busy past year! Can you give us a quick review of what happened?

    KG: Ummmm, Thank you, Jay. Actually, umm, I can sum it up in one sentence!
    My husband resented me treating him like a doormat and retaliated by screwing any piece of tail that came his way just to show me that I wasn’t his boss!

    JL: Wow, Kate – that’s pretty harsh on your part. Why would you treat your mate like a doormat?!

    KG: Because I could and ummm, he let me! Besides, umm, he had to take care of all 8 kids – who else was there? He wanted the money from TLC but wasn’t willing to slave 24/7 to earn it!

    JL: But, Kate, you are the mother -

    KG: — (rudely interrupting) – that’s immaterial! I did all the work in having them! It was umm, hard work tricking Jon and the fertility clinic and family into thinking that conceiving 6 kids at once was normal and natural. And then I had to lay on that fucking bed for 7 months dreaming up ways to scam the ignorant public, family and friends!
    I mean, how much could I lay on God’s doorstep?!

    JL: Let’s get back to the subject of your cancelled show, Kate. What was the best thing about your show and the worst thing?

    KG: Oh, that’s easy, Jay (working her wonky eye, trying to be flirtacious, tugging her floppy hair-wing back behind her pointed ear) – umm, the very best-est (giggle), is that even a real word?! I make up my own language, you know! Anyway, ummm, the bestest thing about the show was that having a litter of kids taught us that if we posed and smiled and screamed and hit each other, that our bad behavior would get us lots of freebies like you wouldn’t believe!

    JL: (frowning) And the worst thing?

    KG: That the public has the TOTALLY WRONG IMPRESSION of me! It’s all about me and I’m really a wonderful, caring, my-kids-are-my-life devoted mother who never, EVER lies. (sobs into the camera)

    JL: Gee, Kate, is that really something your kids believe?

    KG: (getting teary-eyed) Listen Jay! Our life was wonderful until my waste-of-space, soon-to-be ex, frat-boy wannabe Jon found his “soulmate” druggie skank and decided to shut down our cash cow! I mean, he killed the Golden Goose! For a piece of tail! And now my kids cry EVERY day!

    JL: Every day? Why would they do that?

    KG: Because I’m home now and because I – ummm, I mean THEY miss the money — ummm, I mean the crew! And I remind them every day that we’re POOR. And it’s Jon’s fault!!

    JL: Well, any final thoughts before our time is up?

    KG: No, not really. Besides, I have to go now. Both TLC and my bodyguard are waiting for their BJ’s. And I aim to please!! One gives a paycheck and one gets a paycheck – fair is fair! Where’s my paycheck for this appearance?!
    Oh, and don’t forget to watch my new show this fall!
    It’s replacing yours, Jay, and it’s all organic!!

  11. on 15 Dec 2009 at 7:28 pmfour

    For the Leno 10 at 10 (I double dog dare ya Jay)

    1. What was your favorite plastic surgery and or “enhancement?”

    2. What is the color of Joel’s eyes?( half credit if you can find and or identify which tup is Joel)

    3. What is your favorite fan gift?

    4. What are the names of each and every “not a nanny” that has cared for your children.

    5. Please tell us, beside crying on cue, what talent(s) you actually possess other than notoriety?

    6. What do you really fear at night (other than Mrs. Steve)?

    7. Which was your favorite freebie from TLC?

    8. If you renewed your vows in August, why the separation 2 months later, if it was really to show the children that you will always be married?

    9. Name 10 close friends not on the TLC payroll or involved with “production.”

    10. What is it really like to sell your soul to the devil?

    Jay L: Tell me Kate, Now that Jon put a stop to the show what are you doing now?

    Kate: Well, umm…. right now,I’m doing Steve my bodyguard, but I’m open for anything now.

    Jay L: How are the kiddo’s now that the show has ended?

    Kate: Well, umm….Their adjusting with just me being there. Lots of crying but I take care of that with a wooden spoon. You can hear a pin drop when they see me with “The spoon.” (Evil cackle)

    Kate: Oh, by the way Jay, did anyone tell you that your thick grey hair is very, very sexy? (looking at him with her wonkie eye)

    Jay L: Ya, my wife.

    Kate: Oh, I’m soooo into big, strong guys like you Jay….lots of thick silver grey hair….. so sophisticated. I need a big strong rich man to take care of me. ya know, someone to hold my purse. I’m, ummm sooooo over short, balding asian guys like Jon. Jay did you say you were married?

    Kate Gosselin is lonely
    Even though Kate Gosselin is surrounded by her eight children, she still feels lonely, according to her close friend Jamie Ayers.

    “At night, when the kids are in bed, that’s a lonely time for her,” Ayers told Life & Style. “That’s when she calls and we chat. It gets lonely when you’re the only adult.”

    Ayers said that Gosselin tries to keep busy, but without the demands of “Jon & Kate Plus Eight,” it takes a lot to fill the days and keep busy. “Mostly, she gets up at the crack of dawn, works out and makes breakfast,” Ayers said. “She runs errands while the kids are at school, and she does a lot of baking during the holidays.”

    Speaking of the holidays: Jon and Kate are expected to spend Christmas together, with the kids.

    Perhaps she wouldn’t have time to feel lonely if she actually DID the housework, bathed and put kids to bed, etc. Poor Kate, she has it worse than any divorced mom EVER!

  17. on 16 Dec 2009 at 1:04 pmJeanette

    I don’t feel one bit sorry for Katie Irene Gosselin. If she would have treated Jon with an ounce of respect, and some human kindness, she would have someone to talk to, and be with when the kids are in bed. Such a narcissistic bitch.

    Who I do feel sorry for our servicemen families who have to go through the holidays, alone without their spouses, because they were killed or injured in Iraq or Afghanistan. Won’t waste my time with the likes of Kate Gosselin.

  18. on 16 Dec 2009 at 1:15 pmLurkspur

    There she is, sitting by Jay, wearing her FM shoes, short bluejean skirt and showing off THIS month’s boobies. She’s fiddling (we’re supposed to think) with her hair, oops not her hair, oh no, her ear piece has quit and we get to count her ummms and hmmms between the gum smacking. Reminds me of the Wizard of Oz when TOTO pulled back the curtain and we got to see the real “Wizard”. Would love to see the ‘man’ behind HER curtain.

    #16 Linda. I agree. All the Moms I know are too exhausted every night to even think. Try doing it by yourself, Khate and then you won’t have time to wallow in anything but your bed at the end of a day.

    Last week she was in Raleigh NC at a local small Mom & Pop restaurant serving breakfast. WRAL TV (wraltv.com) was thrown out. There are a few pics, mostly of her and Steve. Something about her new show. What talent, dishing up eggs and grits. How organic!!!!! NOT.

    Hey Kate-Go fuck yourself AND your settlement.
    You know where this is from:
    The ongoing saga of Jon and Kate Gosselin’s deteriorated marriage is finally nearing its end. A source tells RadarOnline.com that Kate is “thrilled” with their arbitrator’s decision of how to divide the couple’s property and money. Her lawyer also told RadarOnline.com that the couple’s divorce finalization is imminent.

    “She couldn’t be happier,” the source told RadarOnline exclusively. “Kate is thrilled.”

    Her lawyer Mark Momjian told RadarOnline.com that his team is “not going to make any comment until the decree is entered.”

    The decision, which was not expected to be made until December 21, is binding and will be transmitted to divorce court.

    Momjian did say that the divorce finalization would happen sometime between now and the end of the year.

    From TMZ:
    Jon & Kate — The Arbitrator’s Verdict is In
    Posted Dec 16th 2009 12:07PM by TMZ Staff

    Jon Gosselin and soon-to-be-ex Kate Gosselin now know who’s going to get what in their divorce. TMZ has learned the arbitrator in their divorce case has made his decision on the subject of dividing money and other property and it has been forwarded to the divorce judge.

    Sources say the final divorce decree is now “imminent.” The specifics of the arbitrator’s decision remain confidential.

    We’re told both Jon and Kate have consented to taking the final step — after the arbitrator’s ruling — telling the divorce judge to sign the papers

    and officially end their marriage.

    Lawyer: Jon & Kate divorce likely final in 2010
    AP

    FILE-This Aug. 10, 2009 file photo shows Kate Gosselin drying her eyes during her interview on the NBC …
    1 hr 49 mins ago

    PHILADELPHIA – Jon and Kate Gosselin will likely ring in the new year as husband and wife as they await a final divorce decree.

    A lawyer for Jon Gosselin says the reality TV couple’s divorce is not likely to be finalized until early next year.

    Mark Jay Heller tells The Associated Press that the arbiter’s decisions on custody and finances is “a work in progress.” He says the couple has not signed off on it.

    The former “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ stars, the parents of eight children, are divorcing after 10 years of marriage.

    The divorce is pending in Pennsylvania’s Montgomery County, although the family home is in neighboring Berks County.

    Heller says the divorce arbiter’s decisions will be final.

    A spokeswoman for Kate Gosselin’s lawyers did not immediately return messages Wednesday.

    I would hope that sane parents would wait until 2010 to divorce so that the kids don’t forever associate Christmas with divorce.

    Watch Out Everyone, Jon Gosselin Has A Gun!
    We wonder who he’s imagining: Jon Gosselin let off some steam on Wednesday by picking up a gun for some target practice.

    Wearing a knit cap, jeans, sweater, and vest, Jon stood by a fence of the family’s Pennsylvania estate and fired off some few rounds.

    Earlier in the morning, RadarOnline.com reported exclusively that Jon’s estranged wife Kate was “thrilled” with their arbitrator’s decisions on how to split up their assets.

    Clearly from the look of his new pastime, Jon doesn’t share Kate’s enthusiasm!

  28. on 16 Dec 2009 at 7:41 pmTam

    Maybe NOW PA CPS will pay them a visit. Why in the FUCK would you even have a gun in or near a house with 8 kids and a psycho bitch soon to be ex-wife?

    Tam, that’s not likely to happen! They already ruined Santa Claus/Christmas for the kids, by telling them there is no Santa. Now the twins tell all their friends at school….but I do “like” your idea of Kate and the Christmas Divorce Special. Maybe she’ll wait til the new year and do a special w/Steve, you know, rocking New Years Eve!!

  30. on 16 Dec 2009 at 8:45 pmrural mom

    Jon must sit in his house thinking up ways to get Radar to post photos of him online. How disturbing to see him with a gun. I hope the local authorities are on this.

  31. on 16 Dec 2009 at 9:00 pmTam

    Gives the WRONG impression, even if it’s a completely ‘innocent’ bb gun. What? Are you channeling Ralphie Parker, Jon? NOT A GOOD IDEA YOU FUCKING FUCKTARD!
    His stupidity continues to astound, doesn’t it?

  32. on 16 Dec 2009 at 10:31 pmChrissy

    You know, if I was ending a 10 year marriage that included 8 young children, I don’t think I’d be “thrilled” by any aspect of the divorce.

  33. on 16 Dec 2009 at 11:23 pmMD

    But now she can truly be called a “single mother”!!!1111 That’s pure gold in the PR world. Struggling as a single mother, making all those decisions by herself, with Jon also a decision maker and there half the time. But we will leave that last part out.

  34. on 16 Dec 2009 at 11:31 pmTVsnarkie

    I would think Jon would be “thrilled” to no longer be legally wed to that woman.

    Livimg all my life in P.A. I can say that CYS won’t waste their time going to the Gosselins house because Jon has a gun. This is a big hunting state, and some families who all go hunting have as high as 20-30 guns in their house.

  37. on 17 Dec 2009 at 7:18 amDunwoody Mom

    Who was Jon putting in danger? It was Wednesday, the kids were in school. The Learning Channel got the reaction they wanted, however, for people to be “up in arms”.

  38. on 17 Dec 2009 at 9:52 amlisamarie

    I live in PA also, in an area that has homes interspersed with farms and open areas. Guns are no big deal in these parts. While I don’t like them and my hubby does not hunt–many people here do. When I am out in my yard, particularly on the Monday after Thanksgiving (opening of Buck season), I wear bright colors and can hear the echo of shotgun fire through the hills. Kids don’t even have school on that Monday of opening buck season–many people take their kids hunting.

    His reputation? Oh wait he ’shot’ that (pun intended) long ago.
    While he may not have been putting anyone in ‘danger’, it’s just another classic dumb ass move and jacked up timing by Jon.
    As far as me reading/posting ROL goes…thought I’d ‘take it for the team’ so you don’t have to add hits, since I’m strangely addicted to their nonsensical bullshit anyway. Want me to issue a ROL Alert if I post something here so that you can just scroll past?

    Jon and Kate Gosselin’s divorce will be finalized within 24 hours, RadarOnline has learned exclusively.

    The final divorce decree will be issued Thursday or Friday, according to a source close to the situation.

    And in another reality check, for the one-time Reality TV dad, Jon was ordered not to bring any firearm onto the marital property. A Montgomery County, PA judge entered that order today as Jon showed up in court to square off against a former lawyer who is suing him for non-payment.

    But Kate also had her attorney, Mark Momjian in court today to represent her interests.

    As for Jon, it appears that fame really is fleeting — he represented himself in court Thursday. TLC was recently granted a preliminary injunction against him prohibiting the former Jon & Kate Plus 8 star from doing unauthorized interviews and paid appearnces.

    The court order prohibiting guns at the marital property follow photos of Jon from Wednesday showing him firing a hand gun on the couple’s Wernersville, PA property.

    While he may not have been putting anyone in ‘danger’, it’s just another classic dumb ass move and jacked up timing by Jon.
    As far as me reading/posting ROL goes…thought I’d ‘take it for the team’ so you don’t have to add hits, since I’m strangely addicted to their nonsensical bullshit anyway. Want me to issue a ROL Alert if I post something here so that you can just scroll past?
    ___________________________________________________
    Look, I hate guns, I despise guns. I wish the gun laws were much stricter in this country, but why is this a “dumb ass move”? Jon was exercising his constitutional rights, no one was around, but a TLC paid pap. Perverted TLC who is desperate to get Tiger off the scene and the Gosselins back on it , for some unknown reason.

    And no, I don’t want you to issue a ROL alert – that was not my intent. I’m sorry if you took it that way.

  44. on 17 Dec 2009 at 12:06 pmlisamarie

    A court order prohibitting guns at the house? Isn’t that private property and isn’t that in violation of Jon’s Constitutional rights? I hate guns, too, but I am at a loss as to how a divorce judge can order such a thing unless Kate’s lawyers asked and Jon agreed to it.
    I’m kinda worried for Jon, though. Yes, he is dumb for letting paps gets pics of him shooting a gun–however, there are many target shooting ranges that he can go to if he needs to vent.
    Something about this whole thing DOES NOT add up, anyway. Jon is entitled to a share of the marital assests–even though they may be a small fraction–why can’t he pay a lawyer in divorce court? Even working-class people are able to do so–how ’bout asking his mother or someone to help him out? Even if my brother was a major doofus like Jon, I’d help him out in a dire situation.
    Is TLC doing this whole smear campaign not only as revenge against Jon, but as a “lesson” to any other of its reality “stars” not to mess with them?

    Dunwoody, I agree with you about the gun thing. BFD.
    Tam, I appreciate you ‘taking one for the team’ because I stopped going to ROL months ago but do come here to see what you’ve said.

    About ROL. Remember when Kevin and Jodi did their interview? The sheep went nuts with what a tabloid they are and that they paid K&J.
    Now we never hear anything negative about Kate on ROL. If they “pay” sources . . . um . . . who’s to say they won’t also accept payment to slant their stories?? Just a thought.

  47. on 17 Dec 2009 at 1:00 pmone_lovable_cutiepie

    I’m really tired of taking sides. But all i have to say is. Jon do that at a shooting range or gun club. Come on. Yes granted his kids were not around thank goodness. He could of been shooting off blanks. Does he have a gun license and permit.? Also I hope that GUN JON is far far far far far far away from the kids. Scary just to think one of the tups get ahold of that one. Omg that would freak me out so much if my child got a hold of a gun.

    Shoot. I’ll try to post that comment without having it go to moderation cause of the url. Sorry.

    When the house was purchased the deed was written showing a trust. However, because the divorce is supposedly sealed……….who knows what happened in the divorce decree with the deed to the house. Did she buy him out? Did the house stay the same with joint ownership/ie: the trust? Was the judge’s decree merely a matter of wording? Maybe, since they Kate primarily resides in the property, the judge worded it as meaning no gun can be where she is. IDK. I copied and pasted what the court docket shows.

    It sounds like the winch is continuing to make Jon as miserable as possible with her incessant bitching about any and everything she can. Unfortunately for Jon, he will have to listen to and deal with this the rest of his/her life. Eventually TLC will go away but no matter what Jon does, Kate will always find something wrong with his actions. Unfortunately for the children, they will have to listen to this evil witch moan and groan about it and will discover that she doesn’t give a rat’s ass about them. It’s obvious she’s mentally ill…that’s who CPS should be investigating. Sounds like the kids get a divorce decree for Christmas. If anyone ever deserves coal in their stocking, it’s Kate. Now I’m going back to having happy holiday thoughts.
    Ho, Ho, Ho merry christmas…

  56. on 17 Dec 2009 at 2:38 pmjudy

    It sounds like the judge is telling Jon to change the address listed on the permit of the gun? So the gun cannot be registered at the joint shared house but must have an alternate address. That was my take on it. Who knows.

    I had to chuckle that TMZ mentioned too bad Jon didn’t have a silencer on the gun …(yes, it’s totally wrong but under the circumstances sorta funny)

  57. on 17 Dec 2009 at 2:55 pmsteph

    IMO, Kate knows Jon is no threat to her with the gun but was attracting attention to her ‘awful plight’ and making more out of something than there ever was – a trait she’s perfected. I don’t like guns personally, but from what I can tell Jon was alone at the house yesterday and posed no threat to her or the kids. Why did Jon choose to do this in public yesterday? Another stupid decision. He must have been bored with no paps to talk to, the kids in school and a court date looming in 24 hours. Oh well. It’s a done deal, now.

    What a legacy of memories J&K have made for their kids. This is a Christmas they’ll forever associate with their parent’s divorce. What a great gift.

    Why do I think this was a ‘dumb ass move’ on Jon’s part? Oh my, where to begin? First off, he should know by now that he’s got ‘eyes’ on him-even on his own property. Legality or illegality, ‘innocent’ target practice aside, why would he even bring a gun on his property at this time? Why give everyone-particularly The Learning Channel and psychobitch future ex-more ‘ammunition’ (again, pun intended) to use against him? Especially hours before his frigging divorce settlement takes place.
    I mean, seriously, how much dumber can he get?

  61. on 17 Dec 2009 at 4:31 pmjudy

    On Sosugary there is a pic of Jon with the gun and two people standing behind him. I didn’t recognize them but ROL conveniently left out the part of him having people with him …which makes it seem less “creepy” , imo.

  62. on 17 Dec 2009 at 4:36 pmlisamarie

    Tam, I agree, while I don’t like guns and they are no big deal in PA, Jon is a total dumbass for letting anyone see (much less take a pic)him shooting a gun. Bad PR.
    Katie must’ve grown up around guns where she lived–where there’s a lot of open space, there’s usually guns in PA. Didn’t they mention Kate’s brother having a cabin in one episode? Was it a hunting cabin? (Many people in PA have them.)
    I don’t think she was traumatized by Jon shooting at targets while she was alone–I think this was another move by her and her lawyers to put Jon in a bad light and garner “sympathy” for her. Jon just keeps giving them more and more to work with! I have been saying for months that he should shut his mouth and try to live as quietly and anonymously as possible, at least until the divorce was finalized–dumb Jon, I don’t know who is advising him (or maybe he’s just not listening).
    On the other hand, people who do commit violent acts with guns (whether toward others or toward themseves) rarely care about gun permits and legal decrees.

    The irony of the gun thing is, if Kate had been the one abused for years and she went out and got a gun, would everyone be jumping on her?

    I do feel badly for Jon but my sympathy for him is waning. He needs to “man up”. He has not yet prioritized his responsibilities. His primary focus should be on his children and protecting them from their monster mother.

    Hmmm. Better watch out Hailey. Looks like the big bad ROL bus is temporarily done driving over Jon & is backing up right over you!

    Jon Gosselin’s Jealous Rage: Real Or Publicity Stunt?

    He may have been packing some heat outside of his house on Wednesday, but we really doubt Jon Gosselin is some gun-toting maniac.

    However, Gosselin is getting a violent bad rep courtesy of his ex Hailey Glassman and her new beau.

    Damon Feldman, a celebrity boxing promoter, claims he is bulking up security ahead of Hailey’s upcoming appearance at his Friday event. How convenient!

    “He was acting crazy last night when Hailey just wanted to be left alone. Me and another of my guys went out to talk with him but he wouldn’t leave and just sat in his car with this glassy stare on his face,” Feldman told RadarOnline.com exclusively. “After we walked away he kept sending her nasty text messages and only left after she called him and accused him of being a stalker.”

    In one text, Jon allegedly threatened to kill Feldman and called him a liar.

    “I don’t know what the guy’s problem is because we once met in New York to discuss him possibly appearing in one of my celebrity bouts,” he added. “He was way out of order last night and I’m going to increase security around my event on Friday night in case he causes any trouble.”

    Call us skeptics but it’s been hard to keep Hailey’s story straight recently: though she distanced herself from Gosselin publicly, privately she was still staying at his New York City apartment and days after she claimed he wrecked her relationship with her family, she was suddenly tweeting about hanging out with her mom.

    While Jon clearly has his faults, he’s never shown a violent side. With her connection to fame dwindling, it seems Hailey might have taken some lessons from Jon in fame mongering. She clearly wants to fill the seats as she referees the Friday fight at the Philadelphia Airport Ramada!

  71. on 17 Dec 2009 at 6:30 pmLinda

    My understanding is the gun was registered under their current home’s address. Perhaps when they moved more ‘out’ from the subdivision world, they purchased it for safety reasons. Either way, he has been ordered to list it to a new address, IN Berks Co. I’d assume that means he’s not supposed to take it across state lines???? Wonder when Jon is going to give up on the NYC apt. and live more frugally, in something he can afford.

    On another note, I have to say, I kept waiting for Jon to “pull out” the big ‘contract’ Kate had presented him last Oct. or Nov. during any of these arbitration meetings or court appearances. Given the supposed outcome of the divorce, and the fact that we’ve never heard about said contract, I have to wonder IF there really was ever a contract???? IMO, it seems both Kate and Jon are adept at lying whenever they feel the need arises.

    12/18/2009 Divorce Decree OF 12/17/09 TILSON, J NOTICE MAILED

    EXCLUSIVE: Jon And Kate Gosselin Divorce Official — Kate Walks Away With Most Of The Money And The House
    ——————————————————————————–
    We told you so! RadarOnline com exclusively reported on Thursday that Jon and Kate Gosselin’s divorce decree would be made official within 24 hours – and it has.

    They are both now officially single.

    What’s more RadarOnline.com has learned that Kate is absolutely thrilled with the settlement and has gotten everything she wanted including the house and most of the cash.

    Jon, meantime, is struggling both financially, and emotionally. With his ability to earn any cash stifled by his ongoing legal dispute with cable giant TLC, and his relationship woes with on again off again girlfriend Hailey Glassman, it’s tough times for the dad of 8.

    Mark Momjian, Kate’s co-counsel tells RadarOnline.com, “Our client will continue to reside with all eight of her children in the former marital home. This was Kate’s primary focus from the very start of the case, and we are very pleased with the final outcome.”

    “I am very relieved that our divorce has been finalized, and I look forward to the New Year, focusing on the children,” Kate said in a statement released by her attorneys. “On behalf of myself and my legal team, I want to express my deep appreciation to the Judge and his staff, as well as to the arbitrator, for resolving this case. This has been a challenging transition for all of us, but I am confident that we will move ahead with the important task of restructuring our lives.”

    From TMZ. I have a feeling something bad is gonna to happen to Jon now. Hope all of those motherfuckers are happy.

    Jon Gosselin — Backed Into a Corner
    Posted Dec 18th 2009 11:25AM by TMZ Staff

    Jon Gosselin is in immediate financial trouble now that his divorce from Kate Gosselin is final … because he got nailed with huge child support payments and has no real way of paying … sources tell TMZ.

    We’ve learned under the arbitrator’s award, Jon must make huge child support payments — we’re told 5 figures a month. And here’s the problem. TLC has now shut down Jon’s ability to take outside jobs. The irony — he did himself in.

    We’ve also learned Jon was charged every penny of the $235,000 that he withdrew from their joint account. That amount was deducted from his piece of the settlement.

    As for Jon’s claim that Kate should be docked for money she withdrew … we’ve learned Jon struck out. The arbitrator determined every penny she withdrew was for the benefit of the kids.

    Under the terms of the divorce decree, Kate has primary custody and Jon gets visitation — both Jon and Kate agreed to that in advance. And, they agreed, neither party would get spousal support.

    Score a big one for Mark Momjian, Kate’s lawyer.

  88. on 18 Dec 2009 at 1:15 pmDunwoody Mom

    Congrats to Kate and The Learning Channel – keep that high road going. The bashing of Jon continues. Jon returned the money he took from the account, so I’m not sure what’s up with that statement.

  89. on 18 Dec 2009 at 1:21 pmMD

    Child support is based on a formula which takes into account the income of the parent. If Jon is broke, then he barely pays anything. How does a boob job and manicures benefit the children?

  90. on 18 Dec 2009 at 1:24 pmDunwoody Mom

    I think a lot of what The Learning Channel is putting out there (and gee, they could not wait to do so, could they) is “stretching” the truth. You’re right, MD, child support is based on both parents income.

    As for Jon’s claim that Kate should be docked for money she withdrew … we’ve learned Jon struck out. The arbitrator determined every penny she withdrew was for the benefit of the kids.

    The kids benefit off her new boobs because they get bigger hugs!
    The kids benefit off her manicured nails spa visits because if Kate is de-stressed, the kids are de-stressed.
    The kids benefit from the $1600 a day bodyguard.
    The kids benefit from hooker heels, designer clothing, and expensive purses.
    The kids benefit from Sushi at Nobu.

TLC The Learning Channel is paying them to keep it there. Look out Duggers, Hayes and the other Learning channel families. This might be your worst nightmare someday. GET OUT NOW! while you still have your families and marriages intact. This sucks big time,that evil twaffel bitch wins again. Karma baby karma!

    MD~

    Child support is based on a formula which takes into account the income of the parent. If Jon is broke, then he barely pays anything. How does a boob job and manicures benefit the children?

    Exactly. Something is certainly not ringing true with this one. Even if they based it on monies earned over the last few years, that would be null and void considering TLC’s injunction against Jon, meaning he cannot perform any “celebrity” work until his contract with TLC is up, and the only money that Jon could make would be at a regular job. I highly doubt that Jon was making much at his government job as an “IT Specialist” – as I highly doubt that Jon is an IT anything. Perhaps data entry. He is uneducated and has a poor work history. So in the Court’s formulation from the respective parties’ financial affidavits, I could see that Jon could possibly be ordered to pay 5 figure child support if he was bringing in the money that he was previously, but he is not, so I have no idea how they are getting a 5 figure child support payment from a parent who has no income. You can’t garner blood from a stone.

    They could be taking into consideration his assets and ordering child support from those remaining, leaving the door open for modification of the Support Order when Jon has nothing left. When that happens and Jon is working whatever job he is,or none at all, the child support will be recalculated to reflect the monies that Jon is bringing in, which may or may not be much of anything.

    Okay, I really really don’t get this. Why should Jon have to pay anything to Kate? Isn’t she the “working” parent (and I use that term loosely)? Wouldn’t she be making more money than Jon regardless? Why would he have to pay her for child support? My mind is just blown away by this. I’m a big believer in karma and what goes around comes around, but seriously, why does Kate always seem to come out on top? My faith in “doing the right thing” is waning. I just don’t get this whole thing. Sorry if I sound really dumb, but I just don’t understand any of this.

    ROL has a video pap informing Jon that his divorce was final. Guess his kick ass attorney forgot to call him.
    Can Jon sue Heller for being a suck ass attorney?

    This is TLC PR/Kate’s Management Team spin bull shit. Because the agreement is CONFIDENTIAL we will NEVER know the terms of the divorce agreement which means TLC/Kate’s team can say whatever the hell they want.
    I get so frustrated with Jon. He is always falling on his sword for the sake of his children. Hasn’t he wised up to know that Kate is taking advantage of him? Jon needs an intervention and NOT from Rabbi Schmuley.

    PA is a 50/50 state in theory only. All depends on what the parties and/or arbitrator come up with. Also it is rare that anyone in this state receives alimony and then it’s usually only for a limited number of years. … ie enough to get re-educated to find employment. Jon probably is required to pay child support (no matter what Kate’s income is)… because he is the bio-father. But since his income is limited and at the moment nil, his contrabution would not be in the 5 figure range. Just hope the dumb smuck’s attorney was smart enough to get Jon the right to claim several of the kids on his taxes.

    Is Jon in debt enough now to file for bankruptcy?

  104. on 18 Dec 2009 at 5:16 pmitsaboutthekids

    In a statement on ROL Kate thanked the judge and the arbitrator for their decisions. Amazing what money can buy these days. Now that Kate’s a “single” woman it will be interesting to see who shows up in her bed. She can only be good for so long and I sure hope the paps are around when she screws up (pun intended). That’s what I want to see.

    We wonder how long this will last.

    Watch the Video For A Rare Sight: A Quiet Jon!

    The usually talkative Jon Gosselin didn’t have much to say when photographers spotted him out and about in Pennsylvania on Friday- the same day his divorce from Kate became finalized.

    EXCLUSIVE: Jon And Kate Gosselin Divorce Official — Kate Walks Away With Most Of The Money And The House

    As RadarOnline.com was the first to report, Kate has emerged victorious in their legal battles and is thrilled about walking away with the family’s house and much of the couple’s money in the settlement.

    PHOTOS: Jon Gosselin Has A Gun

    Judging from Jon’s demeanor, his usually colorful comments have stalled as he takes another serving of humble pie.

    Sad, very sad and why is it they are wanting to rub salt in Jon’s wounds? Kate must be gloating and on cloud 9.

    I see Radaronline is posting as fast as The Learning Channel’s PR department can whip the latest let’s bash Jon article. Come on really, The Learning Channel, people are really bored with your antics and Kate Gosselin. Why don’t you just move on to your next freak show.

    Kate and TLC wilL NEVER forgive Jon for taking the kids off the air and obviously they intend to make him pay. Since so many people, family members and legal minds agreed the kids should be removed from the show, why does Jon have to stand alone to fight this battle? WHERE ARE THE VOICES OF REASON AND WHAT IS MORALLY RIGHT?? Where is Kevin and Jodi and their attorney? I think what makes me as angry as anything is that everyone is peeing in their pants with fear of the almighty TLC. Makes you understand how people are driven to violence.

  111. on 18 Dec 2009 at 6:08 pmDunwoody Mom

    My only hope now to “get the word out” about The Learning Channel is Jon’s counter-suit. I don’t know what happened to Gloria Allred, Jodi and Kevin. I guess the trashy whores of Tiger were more important to her.

  115. on 18 Dec 2009 at 6:38 pmMD

    There is still an astounding mortgage in the Berks County Records, surprisingly no mortgage on their last house? Or was that in a different county? The document about the mortgage is sealed so there’s no way to how much it is worth. Reading the other records, they were given their first house (or land?) by a guy named Theordore Mury and then deeded the house to Eugene Lamanna, a disbarred lawyer. I have a feeling TLC may have helped with the down payment.

  116. on 18 Dec 2009 at 7:07 pmitsaboutthekids

    I don’t know when, but one of these days TLC will no longer want Kate around and she will be yesterday’s garbage. Do you think she has “the goods” on them and how do you think they’ll get rid of her?

    Her show won’t last. The twenty die hard fans that she has will watch it but that’s about it. TLC won’t have a choice with her weak ratings. It’s up to us to not watch it to keep the ratings low though.

    Well, well, well. So that snide ugly kitchen window scene last November really meant something after all. “Mine, all mine, as far as the eye can see…”

    Didn’t someone on this thread yesterday say she thought that “TLC and Hate planned to get rid of Yawn long before any of us knew about it.” ???? Hhhmmmmmnnnnn?

  119. on 18 Dec 2009 at 8:14 pmDunwoody Mom

    The Learning Channel knows that a show with Kate alone won’t make it. The only reason the ratings were what they were is because people tuned into see how bad Kate was going to behave toward her husband and children. Kate, by herself, well, it is boring. I can only imagine the show just in NC. I’ll be it was horrendously horrid – or else why have the bodyguard shoo everyone out of the restaurant? Kate was probably flipping out and well, just being Kate.

    ROL is nothing but a bunch of bottom feeders. If Jon was quiet and had no words to say maybe, just maybe, it finally sunk into him that his marriage is over and was hurting. unlike his former bitch wife who couldn’t give a shit and is cackling and kicking up her hooker heels in glory. Next move, Stevie will be in her bed. I’ve never been divorced, but a close friend has and she said you grieve when you realize it’s over.

    But she didn’t answer Leno’s questions, insulted McDonalds, had awkward laughter…. Seriously – TLC – a show, for her?? Spend your money elsewhere.

    I just watched the clip on Leno’s site. I got to #4 and couldn’t take any more. It was obvious that she knew the questions and her answers were scripted. She is a horrible actress. The uneasy laugh was her trying to remember what she was suppose to say or a signal that she couldn’t hear what was being said in her earpiece. She’s a total piece of shit. I agree Moon, she acted like she had just dropped a couple Xanax and washed them down with a box of wine.

  125. on 19 Dec 2009 at 3:07 amPeg

    BTW…I don’t trust that TLC hasn’t cut a deal with Jon on this whole divorce deal. He’s been way too quiet. Keep your mouth shut and let us say what we want and we’ll keep you on the pay roll and pay your support. This whole divorce deal Khate supposedly got smells to high heaven. Why hasn’t ANYONE written a book about this whole shitfest yet with all the dirty laundry? It would be a best seller in no time.

  126. on 19 Dec 2009 at 3:26 amsteph

    I think the online tabloids have done a bit of speculating about the divorce settlement. Unless the judge veered from PA divorce laws, the division of assets is a 50-50 split. Kate being awarded the house was predicted and if she got the house then Jon would typically have been awarded his 50% of the house, but in cash. Jon had to first pay his initial attorney’s fees out of his share, but I question the $235,000 figure they’re talking about. I thought he repaid at least $185,000 of what he supposedly withdrew from their joint account last fall. No? so where are they getting the $235, 000 figure from? I’m being a doubting Nelly here, I guess. And, as for the child support of 5 figures? If I were Jon, I’d be at the court on Monday morning filing for a reduction. As others have said….he has no income (other than possibly TLC paying him for whatever reason), virtually no prospect for future income at this point, and therefore should owe almost nothing.

    Kate’s PR release and her attorney’s statements made me sick. What’s to celebrate about the dissolution of a marriage and family with 8 young children?! I guess I should consider the source, but they all make me sick!

    Kate was on Jay Leno tonight. She was at some museum in D.C. answering Jay’s questions from LA. There was a time delay between Jay’s questions and her answers. Jay asked a question, there was dead air, and then finally her mis-timed laughs. She came off as awkward and forced and not very spontaneous – in other words – she gave her usual performance. OH, when Jay asked her what reality tv show she’d like to be on she made another request to be on Dancing with the Stars! She laughed about her inability to dance and said it would be fun to be on DWTS. Wanna take any bets whether she’ll be granted her wish? I was blinded a couple of times by the bright and flashy ring Kate wore on her right hand tonight. She was waving her hand around too fast for me to get a look at it, though.

    Hate Channels Mr. Ed On Jay Leno

    I saw about a minute of Hate on Jay Leno. She looked like a horse. When she did her fake laugh, she did the weirdest, PHONIEST move yet. She shimmied her shoulders like a belly dancer while bending forward from the waist, and just about spilled those new silicone-filled bubbies. It looked like her teeth were too big for her mouth; she was all teeth and jiggling boobs. And when she cackled? I swear she looked just like a big ol’ horse neighing and whinnying. Oh yeah. She wants an invitation to DWTS. I don’t think her mother ever taught her that it’s not polite to hint; she has such bad manners.

  128. on 19 Dec 2009 at 5:53 amLaura

    I didn’t think I could despise Kate even more than I do now. The comments from TLC and her lawyer and the planted story about Jon being broke are shameful. The only reason for it is to slam Jon.
    But wait a minute – there are 8 children involved here. There father is continually being slammed in public and doesn’t Kate realize that they will see this someday. It will have a negative effect on their relationship with Jon.
    I place all the blame on Kate and her desire to be famous. It’s an awful way to advance yourself – the destruction of the father of your children.
    Shame on you Kate Gosselin and TLC. If you are out there monitoring the blogs – I have one message – FUKG and FUTLC!

  129. on 19 Dec 2009 at 6:15 amLaura

    In the beginning of the interview when Jay said that their divorce was final, Kate’s eyes’s glazed over and got real intense. Boy she does not like questions about her divorce.

    Kate was asked if she had any superstitions and she answered that
    she holds her breath going past cemeteries because she’s afraid that dead person gasses will escape. And Kate calls herself a nurse….right.

    Multiple choice question – Hershey’s kisses stands for…
    Kate answered “C” which was foreplay with Kevin Eubanks. Ewwww…Kate emasculates men.

    Insulting McDonald’s, pushing Whole Foods, waving the hand around with the large blingey ring. Talking about the Playboy spread. The shout out for DWTS. TLC is really pushing her hard. Cackling, cackling, cackling.

    Exclusive Interview: Kate Gosselin Attorney Says Jon Will Have to Provide “Considerable Financial Support”

    As RadarOnline.com previously reported the divorce between Kate and Jon Gosselin was finalized Friday. And as RadarOnline.com also reported Kate Gosselin is very happy with the outcome and with the financial compensation she has been awarded.

    One thing that Kate must be happy about for sure is that her newly ex-husband has been ordered to pay child support to the mom of 8, a fact confirmed by her lawyer, Mark Momjian.

    “Yes, part of the arbitration award consisted of a decision on property division and child support,” Momjian tells RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview. “And the amount of the child support goes from him to her and not the other way around.”

    But when it comes to how much (RadarOnline.com has been told by a source close to the situation that it’s a “bundle” of money) Momjian is keeping mum, saying, “I can’t confirm it. We haven’t disclosed what the amount was.

    “But, look, we¹re talking about 8 children here and the enormous expense that goes into raising those children, you’re obviously going to have to deal with the reality of considerable financial support.

    “It was an issue that was agreed to be presented to the arbitrator and part of the resolution was that an obligation was imposed (on Jon).

    “We’re just hoping that it doesn’t become an issue down the road.”

    As far as who got what, Momjian said, “We’re trying to keep a little bit of the privacy, given that in the arbitration both parties agreed not to disseminate information.

    “It’s a very detailed award that goes through all the allegations and I think the reality is that the parties felt it would benefit both of them to not disseminate it.

    “So, I’ve got uphold that standing.

    “But it does bring to bear one point and that is that one of Kate’s primary objectives was to stay in the family home with the children and that’s what she’s going to continue to do.

    “That was her focus from the beginning of the case and it’s still her focus.

    “It’s important for the children¹s stability and continuity of care that they stay in an environment that’s familiar and promotes their happiness.

    “To the extent that Kate will be there with her children in her role as primary parent, that’s something we’re very proud of accomplishing and we’re relieved.”
    —————–

    The tone of this interview with Momjian doesn’t sound nearly as harsh as what ROL reported earlier and sounds to me what was expected – and he did qualify what was meant by ‘considerable financial support’ (as usual it’s all in the interpretation of the words). But, would someone please put a muzzle on Momjian, please!

    About Kate on Leno….Kate was on the show five minutes tops! Jay caught ole’ Kate in a lie when she said she wouldn’t be at McDonalds at 1 o’clock in the morning because she has the kids but she was recognized by someone at 11o’clock at Whole Foods.

    Since TLC reads these blogs and we’ve all been sceptical about someone feeding Kate answers through an ear piece, she had her hair behind both her ears to reveal, Look everybody! no ear piece.
    Kate on DWTS? nope, her body is as rigid as her heart.

    The remark about foreplay with Kevin Eubanks is beyond words. This from a women(and I use that term loosely) who’s divorce from her husband was just hours old. God have mercy!!!!

  139. on 19 Dec 2009 at 8:34 amTam

    cj, I think Jon was in PA. The one ROL video of the pap delivering news of decree being entered said he was in Reading. But still. For 2 people who CLAIM to focus on their children you would think they’d make an effort to both be there to ‘comfort’ them.

  140. on 19 Dec 2009 at 8:55 amone_lovable_cutiepie

    I did see a ear piece in her ear. It was on the opposite side that the flap use to be. I was so discusted to have Khate sing Lady gaga. I love lady gaga.. not just because lady and I could be twins. But she is a remarkable artist just like david bowie. FQ Khate.. Get some other artist..

    Oh gezz the Dancing with the stars comment. Thanks Jay way to put khate out there. I wish she would of said Pawn shop, dirty jobs, ax men, that alaskan show etc..

    The pressure is on Jon now to sign off on allowing the kids to be filmed again. Unfortunately, I predict that he will allow the filming again, since he is broke. The Gosselin children will be under the camera lights again in no time.

  143. on 19 Dec 2009 at 9:37 ampomegranatetears

    I think Kate was saying the only thing she’d eat/drink from McDonald’s is the coffee (because Jay pushed her for an answer I think?) not that she actually deigns to drink the McDonald’s coffee on a regular basis. (Yes, I watched the Jay piece…I’m ashamed).

    The segment was strange. Kate came across very rehearsed. I wonder if she was reading from cue cards? I don’t think she said umm very often. Although she did roll her eyes back to access a reason for why she would hold her breath as a child when crossing a cemetary. I wonder if the why she did that for wasn’t expected? And how hard is it to say that you were scared that you would inhale ghosts or something? (If that is indeed a childish superstition of hers). Although I found it funny that she didn’t have a ’superstition’ as an adult – she’s way above that shit obviously. LOL.

    Anyway – what I found interesting (besides the fact that Mr. Leno looked uncomfortable during the segment) was that Kate has this black hole effect about her (this is the first time I’ve seen her outside the show). You know how some people have personality so they just glow on tv – and others are flat and they seem to not have a personality – well Kate – she goes beyond that. She just sucks the energy out of the room – it’s really quite phenomonal. The whole segment was boring and forced – not even interesting for train wreck factor.

    (This “Word Game Wednesday” thread has certainly taken on a life of it’s own.)

    Anyway – I seem to recall reading somewhere that the mini-mansion has an outstanding mortgage of $750,000.00 on it, so even with applying whatever monies they have from the sale of the former house, that’s still a good-sized mortgage left to pay.
    If (and it looks like fairly accurate info) Jon has to pay $10,000 a month in child support, I wonder if that sum includes all expenses over and above the needs of the kids (food, clothing, schools, and medical)? I don’t recall child support including mortgage payments – I thought that whoever is awarded the house is responsible for the expenses involved? Kate better stake out whichever street corner she’ll be hooking from, asap.
    And by the way – $10,000 for child support?! Give me a freaking break – that money can’t be going for big grocery bills – she doesn’t feed them that much.
    I also wonder how much that private school is costing them a year. Jon will never be able to come up with that kind of money – cripes, he already drained his “soul-mate schmoopy’s” account dry. He’s so screwed.

    Hailey Glassman Goes From Jon Gosselin To The Boxing Ring

    Jon Gosselin’s ex-girlfriend Hailey Glassman has found a way to stretch out her 15 minutes. Friday night she was the referee for a girl-on-girl boxing match!

    Hailey’s turn in the ring came as she acted as referee for Celebrity Boxing 15 at the Philadelphia Airport Ramada. She wore a classy Ed Hardy shirt for the event.

    Hailey’s ex, Jon Gosselin, probably could have used a few rounds in the ring to blow off steam. As it was, on Wednesday, he brought out his gun and did some target shooting at his now former home in Wernersville, PA.

    The Gosselin divorce was finalized Friday with Kate getting the house and the larger chunk of their cash. Jon…well basically, he got the boot!

    Tam ~ thanks for the camel-toe visual. gag gag gag. Do you ever listen to Bob & Tom in The Morning? … when they play the camel toe song.

  151. on 19 Dec 2009 at 12:11 pmTam

    cj-not sure if we get Bob & Tom around here. Will have to look up the song online or something. I’ll never forget the 1st time I heard the expression ‘camel toe’ complete with a woman sporting one. I laughed so hard I nearly choked. Too darn funny.

  152. on 19 Dec 2009 at 12:19 pmcj

    Tam ~ found a link for the camel toe song on Bob & Tom. They have a list of stations that carry their show – none in Cleveland, but one in Youngstown and Ashtabula. Not sure if any of the other ones are close to you.

    Kate Gosselin — No Future in Show Business

    With her appearance on that Jay Leno thing last night, we can now say with 100% certainty Kate Gosselin has absolutely no on-camera talent whatsoever … beyond yelling at children, of course.

  155. on 19 Dec 2009 at 12:59 pmMD

    Harvest Moon, funny how she is now complaining about what Jon was going through when he was home alone with them, while she was on the road. Why doesn’t she volunteer, get a part-time job, go back to school? Jon was so awful for not doing one of those three but we should feel sad for her?

  156. on 19 Dec 2009 at 1:44 pmLaura

    Is it the least bit interesting that Kate is in D.C. – which is close to Steve’s house in Maryland – the same day her divorce is final.
    She was at the Newseum, one of my favorite places in D.C.

    “And by the way – $10,000 for child support?! Give me a freaking break – that money can’t be going for big grocery bills – she doesn’t feed them that much.
    I also wonder how much that private school is costing them a year.”

    If the children live in the house and she is responsible for mortgage payments, then whatever he pays her per month must be used for living expenses for the children. This includes the mortgage. The terms of the agreement were not disclosed, so we have no way of knowing if he also has to pay the mortgage, in addition to child support. Could be, but I doubt it. The total amount of the mortgage payment and the school tution per month exceed $10,000. However, we don’ t know how much of the maintenance costs, utilities, childcare, etc. etc. are being paid for by TLC. We also don’t know if the tuition cost is included in the child support payments, or if that’s an additional expense for him. I would think that she would at least have to come up with half of that.

  166. on 19 Dec 2009 at 5:44 pmTam

    FWIW, just watched Thursday night’s ET and it was Executive Editor of Us Weekly, Caroline Schaefer, who claimed that ‘TLC gifted the house’ to The Gosselins. So…obviously, I wouldn’t any stock into that. The Clean & Green document filed between deed and mortgage states that this is a ‘Family Trust’. There have been no transfers out of CWM Trust as of this time. BTW, did we ever determine what the CWM stood for? Children With Money?

    Video: Kate Gosselin Dreams of Dancing with the Stars (per ROL)

    Friday night’s Jay Leno show featured Kate Gosselin for the 10 @ 10 segment — that’s 10 questions at 10 pm, for those of you who’ve never seen it — and the newly-divorced reality star had just one quirky revelation.

    When Jay asked if there was another reality show she’d like to compete in, her answer was Dancing with the Stars. Although the former Jon & Kate star said she’d do it just as a laugh because she can’t dance at all, we have the feeling she was seriously floating the idea to producers.

    Kate’s divorce Jon became final Friday morning and when Jay asked how she was handling being single, she said: “I’m a wild woman, Jay. I’m baking cookies with the kids.”
    —————-

    Sounds like ROL thinks Kate was serious about wanting to be on DWTS, too. lol

    Gotta love dlisted’s account of Hailey’s boxing gig:
    Since Jon Grosselin dumped Hailey “Meth Brows” Glassman back onto the potted plant he found her on, she has to do something to keep her name on people’s RSS feeds. So that’s why she hosted a girl-on-girl boxing match at the Philadelphia Airport Ramada Hotel last night. Jamie Jungers was the organizer’s first choice, but she was already booked for the opening of a Super 8 in Barstow.

    Meth Brows really dressed up for the occasion as you can see. It’s like every reality shit show formed a circle jerk around her and ejaculated massive amounts of vomit on her at once. The bandanna is from Rock of Love, the “mauled by a possum” shirt is from Jersey Shore, the boots were made from Kim Zolciak’s leftover wigs, and the rest can be found in the closets of any low-budget bitch on a Vh1 or MTV reality show.

    This entire ho-semble is one gigantic weapon of mass destruction. Nowhere is safe. It makes you want to close the casket door and go to sleep!

    This was on GWOP:

    I might know things said…
    Pay close attention to this and then watch what happens. The conspiracy against Jon is more far reaching and twisted than anyone knows.

    It is already fairly well known that Stephanie Santoro was on TLC/Kate’s payroll. As was Deanna Hummel. What may not be known is that Kate Majors was also and so were Lohan and Hailley herself!

    Jon needed to be on his toes while this whole thing went down. If he were to get a cut of the house or more access to the kids he did not need to be distracted by bimbos and losers giving bad advice.

    Look how Hailley swooped in. The daughter of Kate’s plastic surgeon contacts Jon out of the blue to offer “support”. Yeah ok. So she pretends they have this big romance going and then BAM! She starts telling the world how Jon is a pathological liar, Jon is crazy, Jon is a stalker. And to what was she referring? That he “cheated” on her with Santoro and Majors! Lohan starts selling him out. Meanwhile, Jon took advice to move to NY and agreed to give up the fight for his kids thinking Hailley would be there for him always. She pressured him to do this!

    Now Jon is out in the cold as was the plan from the get go. They knew just what this man’s vulnerabilities were and exploited them. He needed companionship and someone to care about him so they begin to send in the bimbo parade. They send in the fake friends. Kate is painted out to be a saint and Jon is forever known as just an douchey Dad. Note that Hailley never talked bad about Kate, said she respected her. Look at all the details Lohan now wants to cough up about how Jon broke his contract even though Lohan was the one pressuring Jon to do just that.

    Another move is coming soon and it will be the nail in Jon’s coffin. It’s going to be devastating. Just watch.

    I know Jon made major mistakes in his life after the split, but being unfaithful to Kate while they were married is not one of them. If the tabloids even sniffed out an inkling of Jon’s infidelity they would have been on him like a bunch of vultures. It was HER that was under a cloud of suspicion about being unfaithful with Stevie but for some odd reason the tabloids never said anything much about that or followed up. Is all the tabloids on the TLC payrole? If they can get dirt on princess Diana why can’t they get dirt on Kate Goselin? In the famous words of my nephew who can’t say his s’s “Tumpthing Tinks.”

    I don’t know, Linda. I do know that after following the J&K saga, nothing surprises me anymore.

    On a separate note, I’ve been watching a few episodes of Table for 12 this weekend and I’m really enjoying it. The parents seem real. They also seem to love their children and their children are very sweet. Betty seems genuine and not fake.

  176. on 21 Dec 2009 at 8:17 amone_lovable_cutiepie

    hilo: This sounds like its coming from someone that works for TLC. Even a Pr person maybe for Kate.

    True Hailey never said anything bad about kate. Either did Steph, Deanna or Kate Major. Deanna I wouldn’t count. She is one that never over exposed herself. Who knows she might of been the key component in the ( Bring down Jon Gosselin). Kate wanted a way out of the marriage. She wanted to end up looking better than Jon. So Kate came up with a plan. With TLC help. They brought in views, talking, gossip etc. Plus the paps that caught jon with Deanna. I bet you that was TLC paps. Probably interns. Why else would they be in reading/lancaster. ( complete Stage Peformances) Some day this will all come back to haunt Kate and jon. It will also come back as spades.

  177. on 21 Dec 2009 at 8:50 amJeanette

    Let me clarify what I meant in post #173. I realize that J&K were still married when Jon played around, but you never heard were he was unfaithful while Kate was pregnant with the twins, or while she laid for 1,999 weeks on bed rest with the sextuplets. In the first nine years of their marriage no skanks or hoe’s are coming out of the woodwork like they are with Tiger Woods.

    Someone on GWOP mentioned putting Jon on against Kate on DWTS. I think it a better idea if he were offered the gig and she wasn’t. Especially after she ‘begged’ to go on. I don’t think Jon appearing on DWTS would violate his ‘tv appearances’ gag order as it’s not in the ‘tabloid tv’ genre.

  182. on 21 Dec 2009 at 12:19 pmlisamarie

    re; Jeanette
    I understand what you mean regarding Jon’s “unfaithfulness.” That’s what makes me wonder that there isn’t some truth about the whole “secret contract” deal with Kate. However, Jon is so dumb he probably didn’t keep a copy of the “contract” in a safe place and it went the way of his wedding ring.
    I’ve always suspected that something traumatic happened in the marriage last last summer/fall that was the impetus for Jon going off the deep end. He seemed to be a family man for 9 years and then, wham! –goes apeshit. If he were a cheater all along, why wouldn’t chicks be coming out of the woodwork now to sell their story to TLC and the tabloids (they’d gobble it up!)? I mean, women who could say prior to Dec. ‘08 that they had slept with Jon?
    And why would Kate claim to Natalie Morales that she “wasn’t sure” who ended the marriage when? Huh? Believe me, you’d know when and where you’re spouse asked for a divorce or when you found out that they were cheating.
    I realize that there not be an external reason for spousal infidelity (Tiger Woods?)–but I can’t help feeling in this case there was some sort of event or external cause that pushed Jon (weak-willed, maybe) in that direction.

    1. Jon Gosselin – This guy is so annoying that he made his wife Kate seem less annoying than usual this year. Once the couple split, which you may have heard about in the media, he made one annoying move after another. His wife, on the other hand, took the high road, assuming you believe that the ‘high road’ is granting a series of TV interviews in which you whine about your money problems.

    Z on TV said:
    “She said she used to hold her breath while walking past a graveyard because she thought “dead person gases would escape” and she “would die.”

    Leno had no idea what to say in response to that as he moved onto the next of 10 questions in “10 @ 10″ segment.

    Between that bizarre answer and the many other slow and dull ones, I couldn’t help but wonder how many more disastrous performances Kate has to have before TLC gives up the ghost on her having a new hit show this spring.

    Good luck, TLC. Keep her away from graveyards.”

    Personally, I’d lead her directly INTO one.
    And leave her there.

    OT-Can’t believe a ‘no beer protest’ is of the utmost importance to Ma Duggar right now.
    From ROL:
    Just days after giving birth to a premature baby, and as that baby lay in the ICU, Michelle Duggar was protesting a nearby EZ Mart’s request for a beer license. And local residents aren’t happy about it, slamming the mom of 19 children.

    The newest addition to the Duggar household, Josie Brooklyn, was born December 11th. Josie was a premature baby and born at just 1 pound 6 ounces. But just days after her birth her famous mom was at the offices of the Alcohol Beverage Control testifying.

    Duggar, reportedly in tears, told the ABC that she did not want alcohol in her town, going on to tell local news station 40/29, ” Personally, I don’t think alcohol needs to be convenient. I think it needs to be placed in a place where adults can get to it and they will have a choice to get it. But our children should not be bombarded with that. It’s so close to home.”

    Local residents are up in arms slamming Duggar on 40/29’s website.

    “hmmm…here is a thought for Mrs.Dugger [sic]… get fixed already… I understand one wanting children…but by the gods…enough is enough. have children… but not a dang football team..sheesh,” revlarrypetersenjr writes.

    “Must be nice to be a one-woman killer of someone else’s livelihood. Why should the convenience store owner have his income limited because of her say-so? Does she not trust that the indoctrination that they are giving their brood isn’t strong enough and her kids will be alcoholics? Maybe she sees them going that way already? No one’s taking the food out of their 21 big mouths, why is it her business to take the food out of the hard working store owner’s mouth and his family?” writes Zidd.

    “Good grief, you would think being a brood mare would be enough to keep this woman busy. Oh wait, thats what her other kids are for, to raise their siblings. I guess thats why she has time to pop out a kid or two every year and still try and push her notion of so called morality onto others. Obviously having a preemie baby sick in the hospital is not enough publicity for her, she has to go looking for more. That is very sad and disturbing,” comments a reader calling themselves Zares.

    “Last we all heard, Mrs. Duggar was in the hospital along with her new baby, but instead she is out & about, protesting a gas station from being able to sell alcohol,” a local resident tells RadarOnline.com. “Arkansas has several dry counties -selling alcohol is a big deal around here. People around here are not happy at Michelle.”

  188. on 21 Dec 2009 at 3:17 pmDunwoody Mom

    Fame, it seems, has gone to another woman’s head. Michelle Duggar has 17 children at home now and one in the NICU. I would hope that all of her energy would be spent on her children. Who is this beginning to sound like? Has TLC corrputed another mother?

  189. on 21 Dec 2009 at 3:24 pmTam

    Dunwoody Mom,

    And if she happened to get arrested (for protesting) would The Learning Channel drop kick her/them?

  191. on 21 Dec 2009 at 3:27 pmDunwoody Mom

    Or maybe her “protest” was filed for an upcoming episode?

  192. on 21 Dec 2009 at 3:30 pmTam

    Again, shouldn’t she be with her kid in the NICU?

  193. on 21 Dec 2009 at 3:40 pmDunwoody Mom

    Tam, yes, she should. I know that if my child weighed under 2 pounds and was in NICU, that’s where I would be 24×7.

  194. on 21 Dec 2009 at 3:48 pmTam

    …Or with the 18 others…not protesting beer sales.

  195. on 21 Dec 2009 at 4:18 pmTam

    Ahhh…The Learning Channel’s ‘A-1 informant’ Michael Blowhan becoming a professional litigant…just think of the bullshit he’s going to tweet from his authentic Twitter account.

    Will the real Michael Lohan please Tweet?

    Lindsay Lohan’s dad is gearing up for a very merry litigious holiday, telling RadarOnline.com that his lawyer has contacted Twitter’s legal department to track down and prosecute the many Michael Lohan imposters.

    In late November, a prankster posing as Lohan posted suicide Tweets, saying he was going to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge. Lohan was not amused by the trickster’s Tweets and says he doesn’t even have a Twitter account. Until now.

    Lohan told RadarOnline.com that his lawyer “has also advised me to open a real Twitter account to prove the others are not me.”

    Possibly one topic for his new account: the many people he says his lawyer has sent subpoenas to in connection to his ex-girlfriend. Lohan is steamed at reports he was arrested on a criminal contempt charge for violating a protection order that forbids him from calling estranged girlfriend Erin Muller.

    She claimed Lohan called her Dec. 13 but his lawyer says she’s rubber, he’s glue, which is legalese for “No I DIDN’T — SHE CALLED ME.”

    Meanwhile, Michael tells RadarOnline.com that his lawyer has issued nine subpoenas, all connected to Muller and his quest to prove the charges against him are false. The subpoenas are for various people who allegedly have damaging information about Muller.

  196. on 21 Dec 2009 at 4:42 pmJen

    I just read about Michelle Duggar…wow, just wow. If my child was hanging onto life in the NICU, you’d have a hard time getting me to leave (the room…I wouldn’t leave that hospital) to sleep and take a shower let alone go off protesting something that’s none of her business anyway.

    If she wants to abstain from alcohol and wants to teach that to her children, more power to her. But what the hell….telling other tax-paying adult citizens what legal items they can buy and sell? How about heading down to the local gun shop and telling them they should close up shop too. Bet that would go over well with the Christian Right!

  197. on 21 Dec 2009 at 4:53 pmHilo

    When my son was born, he was very premature and was in the NICU, and we could only visit him for an hour a day. I don’t know if that’s the practice now or not.

  198. on 21 Dec 2009 at 5:34 pmfour

    For a brief moment I thought the Duggars were going to do the sensible thing and deal with all the pressures, stresses and emotional upheavals that come with having a micro premie child/sibling privately, as a family. Michelle is just days out of the hospital (after having preclampsia(dang, sp?) no less) and apparently the show must go on. Ugh. TLC is the toxic leech channel for sure.

    And here I am, in SW PA where you can’t get beer anywhere but….the beer store…and then, only in cases. Oh wait, I was able to go to a bar and get a six pack “to go.” What the heck is wrong with this state? Get beer in vast quantities? And folks are getting their tails in a knot over some grocery stores being able to sell six packs. Moderation people, moderation. Just seems ironic.

  199. on 21 Dec 2009 at 5:46 pmcj

    Hilo ~ It probably depends on the hospital. When my son was born premature 29 years ago, we were told we could visit anytime we wanted… 24/7.

  200. on 21 Dec 2009 at 5:50 pmcj

    Four ~

    PA/ LCB is changing the rules. Two Wegman’s stores in my area are now allowed to sell 6 packs (max of 2) in the cafe. Saw on the news last week another chain was just issued a license for beer. Distributors in this area are now pissed, saying it’s going to cut into their business. Don’t see how it’s going to hurt them. You could always buy 2 carry out 6 packs.

  201. on 21 Dec 2009 at 6:26 pmfour

    CJ, don’t even tell me you have Wegman’s, I am so jealous. And you are probably near the state line too and able to crossover to NYS anytime you want.

    And me? Ironies of ironies, I don’t drink. So what would I care, except when it comes time to give gifts I end up going to some dive for a six pack. Next year? I’m making Bailey’s.

    Sorry, don’t want to make you feel bad.
    Yep, two Wegmans in Erie (NW PA) and yes we are close to the state lines. Twenty miles to NY and twenty to Ohio. I personally would never drive more than two miles to buy beer b/c I rarely drink. If I know there are going to be beer drinkers at my house I’ll buy a case. But, I like the idea of driving two miles down the road to Wegmans and being able to buy just a six pack. That would last me at least two months, on my own, a case would last a year. Another reason I like that Wegmans now can sell beer – I’m more apt to buy it there instead of walking into a bar just to get a six pack. Now maybe this state will do something about our State Stores & picking up a bottle of wine.

    I just listened to The View bit about J&K divorce and when Joy said Kate was going to have a show with Paula Deen, BW interrupted and said no, maybe not with Paula but Kate will have a career. hmmm…sounds like BW knows something. Of course then Jane VM piped in and said “I don’t know, Kate minus eight? Would you watch? I wouldn’t…and Joy agreed with her. Barbara had no comment. Why do people feel sorry for Kate? I just don’t know why they are so blind to the real KG.

    From OK! magazine:

    Kate to Keep the “Gosselin” for Good
    December 21st, 2009 4:28 pm / Author: Brittany Talarico
    It seems Kate Gosselin has moved on from the drama that plagued her this year. On Friday, the day her divorce from Jon Gosselin was finalized, Kate made a humorous appearance on The Jay Leno Show as the featured person for Jay’s Ten @ Ten segment. There is one thing still binding Kate to her ex-hubby — their last name Gosselin. But don’t expect to see Kate by a new name in 2010. A TLC rep told HollywoodLife.com that Kate is a Gosselin for good.
    Rumors circulated that Kate would drop the “Gosselin” in 2010 and return to her maiden name of “Kreider.”

    However, a TLC spokesperson rejected the name-change claim stating the mother of eight is Gosselin through and through.

    “It’s untrue, it’s not an option,” the rep told Hollywood Life.

    For now, the proud momma is focusing on finishing up her Christmas shopping and baking cookies with the kiddies.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Sounds to me like TLC continues to dictate to Kate what her life will and will not be. I wonder how long she will tolerate the noose…

  215. on 22 Dec 2009 at 10:22 amTam

    So. The Learning Channel is controlling the use of JON’S last name?
    Man, oh man. Did the Gosselins ever sell their minds, bodies and souls to THE DEVIL!!
    Fuck you The Learning Channel and every idiot in your employ, most especially Laurie Goldberg AND Eileen O’Neill. And let’s not forget Bill Hayes, too!
    Evil beasts.

  216. on 22 Dec 2009 at 10:33 amlisamarie

    “It’s not an option”??! TLC can tell Kate what her legal name is? What if she re-marries? (not that I see that happening anytime soon)–will her new hubby have to deal with the fact that people will call her by her ex’s last name? I guess Martha Stewart still uses her ex’s last name–her maiden name was Kostyra. That must be standard operating procedure when you become a “brand.” Or a brand wannabe, if you’re Kate.
    This whole Gosselin saga has really opened my eyes about the media and entertainment world—so-called reality TV especially. I am completely disillusioned and disenchanted.

  217. on 22 Dec 2009 at 11:00 amNaked Mole Rat

    Well, not to agree with Kate or TLC, but since she has children I think she should keep the Gosselin last name. I wouldn’t want a different last name than my children and I wouldn’t want my children to have a different last name than I.

  218. on 22 Dec 2009 at 11:06 amTam

    If I were Jon, I wouldn’t want her making $$ off my name whilst throwing me under the bus as she does.

  219. on 22 Dec 2009 at 11:09 amitsaboutthekids

    I understand Kate not wanting to change her name. I DON’T understand where TLC thinks they can make that decision for her either way. What legal right do they have and why are they even the spokespeople for KG when it comes to Jon’s name? How is it even TLC’s business? Kate really has sold her soul to the TLC devil if she’s given them permission to make this kind of decision. It’s just sick…

  220. on 22 Dec 2009 at 11:30 amLinda

    #217
    I agree. I would not change to my maiden name, I wanted it the same as my kids.
    As a child thru adulthood, I had a different name than my mom’s remarried name. I HATED that!

  221. on 22 Dec 2009 at 11:31 amNaked Mole Rat

    Not that I disagree that TLC should have no say in the matter, I just got the impression they were just speaking on her behalf. I didn’t think they made the decision. Now that the divorce is final I don’t think her lawyers are going to give statements on her behalf, so TLC will continue like they did before. JMO. Of course I wish they’d shut up too but I don’t think that will happen as long as she is under contract.

  222. on 22 Dec 2009 at 11:43 amitsaboutthekids

    hmmm…you could be right, re: TLC is just speaking on her behalf. It’s hard to say the way the quote is given here. I would love to know how that contract reads :) TLC’s stranglehold reminds me of the days when movie stars were under contract with certain studios and stars could barely breath without permission of the studio heads.

    Didn’t Hitchcock ruin Tippy’s career because he was in love with her and only wanted her doing movies for him? Actually I guess I’d compare that more to Jon than Kate. TLC doesn’t love him but they want to have total control over him and not let him do anything for them, or anyone else.

  224. on 22 Dec 2009 at 12:29 pmitsaboutthekids

    Kate definitely is the more willing participant. TLC is playing her big time. If you stroke a narcissist’s ego they’ll jump through any hoop for you and I think that’s exactly what TLC is doing with Kate. There’s something very stealth going on here, a very tangled web with many players. I don’t think it’s about the kids at all any more, but about TLC keeping their dirty little secrets under wraps, no matter who they have to destroy in the process.

  225. on 22 Dec 2009 at 12:42 pmNaked Mole Rat

    Jon NEEDS to write a tell-all book. He needs to find a good co-author and just tell every little secret, once his contract is up. But he would have to be totally honest even if it makes him look bad because just one lie would make you question anything he wrote. He needs reputable people to back up his stories and he needs to provide as much documentation as he can. The only problem is I’m sure Kate kept all that and not him. Maybe his lawyers can make sure he gets copies.

    When are the people who know the whole truth behind TLC and Jon and Kate going to come out with info? If that one “I may know something” comment quoted above from GWOP is true, I really feel that person has a moral obligation to come forward. He or she should contact Jon’s attorney and see if they can testify without getting in trouble for breaking their confidentiality clause. Or better yet, get their own lawyer because you probably can’t trust Jon’s to do right by anyone but their own case.

    Tam, I think their objective was just to get the kids off TV…so they may still stay in contact w/Jon, but I don’t think we’ll hear from them again, unless maybe the kids end up back on TV, just my thoughts.

    When are they going to do a True Hollywood Story type show about the Gosselins where they go to people who knew them or worked with them in the past and with TLC and give all the dirt. It’s way past due.

    IMO, now that the kid’s aren’t being filmed anymore and Jon is finally unshackled from the Queen, and their relationship with Jon and the kids has been reestablished, they really don’t have anything to say to the media.

    ‘Balloon’ Fam Gets $42,000 Bill
    Posted Dec 22nd 2009 2:40PM by TMZ Staff

    The two morons behind that terrible “Balloon Boy” stunt are finally going to have to pay the price for all of their dumbassery — a cool $42,000.
    The Larimer County District Attorney’s office claims it sent the bill to Richard and Mayumi Heene — demanding the couple pay restitution to the agencies which took part in the rescue attempt when they thought 6-year-old Falcon Heene had gone airborne in a massive Jiffy Pop-style hot air balloon.

    According to the Denver Post, the DA claims the Heene’s $42k will go towards the police, the national guard and the Federal Aviation Administration — who all played a role on October 15.

    A lawyer for the Heenes claims they won’t pay a cent until they see receipts and records — we’re pretty sure there’s no shortage of TV footage.

    She has a house full of kids, a hit show – and one iconic hairdo. We’re talking, of course, about Kate Gosselin, but we may as well be referring to Carol Brady, the beloved matriarch played by Florence Henderson on the classic sitcom, The Brady Bunch.

    Gosselin, named one of PEOPLE’s Most Intriguing People of the Year, channeled her inner Carol. What do you think?

    Tell us: Does Kate pull off her new look?

    Yes, she looks great as Carol Brady
    No, she’s better as herself

    I think it’s hilarious that NE would term Kate a “cougar”. They are essentially implying that she’s over 40…..(nothing wrong with being over 40 as I’m almost there but since we all know how vain Kate is, I’m sure she doesn’t appreciate the tabloids aging her…)

    No one really knew about Kate, including Jon, when she ambushed him away from his girlfriend and schemed her way into the spotlight. Now the whole world knows of her narcissistic greedy behavior so I have to say, the next man or woman who falls for Kate is the world’s biggest fool.

    I’m feeling bad for the Table for 12 family because I really like them and I’m afraid they are falling into the same TLC trap. Those children should not be on weekly television. It’s just more of the same exploitation and only laws will change this because TLC could care less. I very seldom say “hate”, but I hate every head honcho on that payroll.

    This item is at BlindGossip.com. Who does this sound like?

    CDAN – So this female reality star was out shopping on Sunday and standing in line with what my source said was an incredibly hot guy. Anyway, who she was with is not really the point of this, but just an added bonus. Anyway, the point is our reality star who has even had her own show was talking on her cell phone in a very, very loud voice. This was annoying to the other 20 people in line, but not as annoying as the way she was talking on the phone. It was described as the most superficial, high pitched squeaky phone call of all time and everyone in line was cringing. The guy with her was apparently used to it and his main job appeared to be carrying things for the reality star. Well, as the line progresses she is so absorbed in her own world and her own call that she fails to see an elderly man in front of her who has bent over to retrieve something. Not seeing anyone in front of her, our reality star pushes by the guy, knocking him to the floor and walks up to the register. Meanwhile the people behind her help the man back to his feet. Our reality star continued to chat very very loudly the entire time at the register and as she walked out the door.

    The whole little people thing is sort of hypocritical. The only thing interesting about them is that they are little dealing with a world made for taller people. They want to show that they are the same as everyone else so then what makes them so special that they should have their own show? A real documentary or maybe even the original LPBW was good because it raised awareness and let people see how they are normal except short. Once you start having a bunch of shows about little people it almost becomes a freak show. They are putting their lives on display and people are watching them only because they are little. Doesn’t that remove the Just Like Everybody Else factor?

    NEW PHOTOS: See Jon Go Sledding & ATV Riding With His Kids

    The reality TV dad was spotted outside of his Pennsylvania home on Tuesday doing something besides shooting off rounds from a gun, signing autographs or talking to photographers.

    Gosselin took time out from hanging out with his kids to help a family from Arkansas whose car broke down. Jon spent time with the stranded lady and her young daughter as they waited for the tow truck to arrive.

    Jon has been having a tough time recently since his divorce to wife Kate got finalized. She got the house and most of their assets. On top of that, her lawyer told RadarOnline.com exclusively that Jon will have to provide “considerable financial support” as well.

    So what if Jon has a gun. It’s not against the law, Remember when Kate and the owner of the dude ranch went target practicing with a 22 caliber rifle and a pistol. Kate and the owner made some snide remark about putting certain peoples faces on the targets. That bitch was having waaay too much fun. She said she shot off a whole box of shells.

    FROM RADARONLINE – EXCLUSIVE: Kate Gosselin Bounced From New TV Show For Being Too Controversial

    Kate Gosselin is not going to be part of a new TV show that she shot a pilot for because executives thought she was too controversial, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.

    In early September, Kate was one of several hosts for a Momlogic TV pilot. She joined Food Network star Paula Deen, Lee Woodruff and former Early Show co-host Rene Syler.

    The show, by Telepictures, has been described as The View for working moms and while it is technically still alive, industry insiders tell RadarOnline.com that it is on life support. It is still on the schedule to be sold at the convention where TV shows are pitched, but an insider said there is little chance it will make it.

    With multiple hosts, the show was designed to tackle topics such as teen pregnancy as well as lighter fare.

    One TV source with knowledge of the situation told RadarOnline.com that high-level executives believed Kate was too controversial for the show and didn’t think she was ready for a full-time hosting job, even as part of a panel.

    But not all decision makers agreed with that assessment. “There was a lot of arguing,” the source, familiar with the behind-the-scenes action, told RadarOnline.com exclusively.

    Paula Deen was being pushed as the show’s star, even in the multi-host format. There was some concern that Kate’s notoriety was upsetting Paula by drawing attention away from her. All of this was kept completely quiet.

    But the decision to drop Kate doesn’t mean no more Kate on TV. She will be back on TLC in the spring with a new show, whose concept has not been made public. And unlike the Momlogic show, whose future is uncertain at best, TLC has committed to Kate’s new show, even as it works to finish developing its concept.

    As RadarOnline.com reported recently, Kate was in North Carolina taking orders and waiting on customers in a famous diner. The TLC show is still in development while experimental filming takes place.

    “I don’t know anyone who likes Kate other than TLC.”

    I don’t know anyone who likes Kate other than Kate. I’m not so sure that even TLC “likes” her. It depends on one’s definition of “like.” I think “tolerates” would be the better word. She’s their money-maker (or so they think). I don’t think any affection whatsoever, or even “likes” plays into it!!

    Does anyone read the comments left on ROL? Some of those posters are just plain nuts. I don’t mean sheeple nuts, I mean moron nuts! Why wasn’t Kate sledding with her kids? ROL doesn’t discuss that. One of these days there’s going to be an awakening as to which of these is the “responsible” parent, the one who spends time with the children, bonding with them, taking them to community events and the like. Kate’s not even going to be in the running!

  270. on 23 Dec 2009 at 2:11 pmDunwoody Mom

    Kate did not get a spot on the show not because she is controversial, but because she has no talent….

  271. on 23 Dec 2009 at 2:26 pmNaked Mole Rat

    They called Kate controversial because people, including me, wrote to Paula Deen and said she’d better not do a show with Kate the child exploiter if she doesn’t want to ruin her family/mom image.

  272. on 23 Dec 2009 at 2:27 pmitsaboutthekids

    I think Paula said, “it’s her or me”, the chiefs debated the issue, and Kate lost because she’s a no talent, bitchy drama queen. Remember at the pilot the show stopping pretend tears because she missed her kids? Sounds like the “pity me” backfired this time.

    Oooh…if only it were a book about Ms. Katie. From the National Enquirer’s website
    MARTHA DARKEST SECRETS
    Martha Stewart had a meltdown after finding out that her darkest, deepest secrets will be exposed in a tell-all book written by her former best friend!

    The explosive memoir by Mariana Pasternak will reveal intimate details of 68-year-old Martha’s private life, including her lesbian “dates,” the attacks she faced in prison, and her boozy temper tantrums, sources tell The ENQUIRER.

    And the domestic diva is worried sick that Mariana will reveal she cheated on her ex-fiance Charles Simonyi, according to insiders familiar with Mariana’s book, The Best of Friends: Martha and Me due out in March….

    Kate Gosselin
    With eight children, it’s no surprise the single reality mom has little time to primp off-screen. The look of exhaustion was all over Kate’s face as she dropped off twins Mady and Cara at the bus stop — she even hid her infamous reverse mullet under a hat!

    Considering the nanny gets the kids ready in the morning…

  294. on 23 Dec 2009 at 11:56 pmLaura

    Linda – TLC’s suit against Jon is going to mediation. They are splitting the costs. It’s less expensive than going to trial. $5,000 from each party is going into an escrow account. The bottom entry shows that TLC has already deposited the money into the registry.
    Hope that helps.

  295. on 24 Dec 2009 at 7:20 amTam

    So The Learning Channel’s suing Jon and HE has to come up with $5,000.00 for mediation? Why doesn’t The Learning Channel want a trial and WHY is everything going to be ’sealed’ now?

    Jon Gosselin’s Ex — Get Me Outta Here!

    Posted Dec 24th 2009 12:02AM by TMZ Staff

    Jon Gosselin’s ex-girlfriend is finally dumping all her relationship baggage — into the back of a big ass moving truck.

    Hailey Glassman was spotted carting her stuff out of the Octopop’s Upper West Side apartment in New York City Wednesday morning … for good — the final nail in the break up coffin.

    The couple reportedly split back in October.

  297. on 24 Dec 2009 at 10:56 amLinda

    #294Laura
    Thanks Laura…I thought it had something to do w/the divorce???? Boy, you’d never know I had a kid who’s a lawyer!!!

  298. on 24 Dec 2009 at 5:50 pmMerette

    OMG! I just looked at the Star mag. picture. Take looks like hell. That is not “exhaustion” from having 8 kids (the nannies and hired help do ALL the work anyway). IMO, the way she looks is indicative of some EXTREME alcohol or even drug abuse over the long term – not just a night of partying. She is 34!!! She looks like someone twenty years older then her actual age!! Someone who has had a rough life – the kind of life plagued by alcohol, drugs, and other destructive activities.

    And why is The Leprosy Channel shifting to “mediation’ over a trial? Could it be that Jon has so much crap on them that they are afraid it will all come pouring out? What is there to “mediate?” Doesn’t one usually go to trial as a last resort? I smell a rat. A big, fat rat.

  299. on 24 Dec 2009 at 5:56 pmTam

    Merette,
    The thing I don’t like about it (mediation) is that they’re making both parties deposit $5,000 for a $300 an hour mediator. How long is THAT going to take? If The Learning Channel is hell bent on fucking Jon over, let them bear the burden of expense. It’s not as if they can’t afford it. And the hush-hushness of it all…I, too smell a rat.
    Again, may everyone at The Learning Channel get a big dump of poo from Santa tomorrow.
    Bastards.

  300. on 24 Dec 2009 at 9:35 pmMerette

    Tam,
    I know – why do BOTH parties have to kick in for the mediator? And yes, if TLC wants to take Jon down, they should bear all the expenses. Something is up. Yes – The Leprosy Channel cretins (all of them – particularly Eileen Pop Culture Major O’Neill – should get a big steaming pile of shit for Christmas. A plague on all their houses!!

  301. on 26 Dec 2009 at 10:18 pmPeg

    From TMZ. I don’t know why but this reminds me of something Hailey would do. Of course it could be just another ploy to keep his name in the news.

    The damage to Jon Gosselin’s apartment is far worse that we thought — according to his attorney, a “butcher knife” wielding maniac sliced and diced the entire place into a million pieces.

    Jon’s attorney tells TMZ … when Jon entered his Manhattan apartment this afternoon, he found his “shoes, shirts, luggage, bed, curtain, rugs and other furnishings” had been slashed by a “sick perpetrator” — and it doesn’t stop there.

    We’re told Jon’s “television, CD player, coffee maker, a Nintendo Wii game, dishes, pots and pans were burglarized from his apartment.” Jon’s attorney also says a “Ming vase, believed to be over 100 years old … was smashed to pieces.”

    As for the note that was left behind … it was “speared” to Jon’s bedroom dresser with a butcher knife.

    As we first reported, law enforcement sources say Hailey Glassman’s name was signed at the bottom of the note — but that doesn’t mean she had anything to do with it.

    Jon’s attorney says the NYPD fingerprinted and photographed the scene today … and Jon wants felony charges brought against whoever is responsible.

  302. on 27 Dec 2009 at 12:07 amLinda

    This wouldn’t be one of Kate’s sheeple, would it?

    Former Lesbian Lover of Hailey Glassman to Jon Gosselin: Watch Your Back!
    July 16th, 2009 7:07 AM by Free Britney
    Tags: Girl-on-Girl Action, Hailey Glassman, Jon Gosselin

    Joy Lawlor, who claims she was Hailey Glassman’s lesbian lover for three years, has a stern warning for Jon Gosselin: Hailey will wreck your life!

    “You are wasting your time with Hailey. She’ll destroy you,” Joy said.

    Hailey Glassman and Jon Gosselin went public after Jon and Kate Gosselin announced they were ending their marriage on an episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8.

    Jon, 32, took Hailey, 22, to France over the weekend. Meanwhile details of Hailey’s wild party girl past thrust her into the spotlight back home.

    Now Joy Lawlor is warning Jon Gosselin that he has no idea what he’s stepped into and that Hailey Glassman is just using him to become famous.

    “The last thing Jon needs to do is stick around that woman,” Lawlor said in an interview with Radar Online. “Hailey will use him to make herself famous and then she will leave him for someone else she can profit from.”

    Joy Lawlor

    “Anyone, be they male or female, is a target. She just wants to make people do whatever she wishes. That’s what she is going to do to Jon. The best thing he could do is get as far away as possible from her. She is just toxic.”

    Joy Lawlor, 23, was at student at Indiana University.

    There’s where Hailey contacted her through MySpace.

    “I was 18, studying biology and I put on my profile that I was a lesbian,” she said. “Hailey said she was interested in going to IU. She also said she was interested in lesbianism. When she finally joined IU she said it had mainly been because of me.”

    “We became close and began making out in my apartment. Soon she told me she loved me,” says Joy, but things started to go downhill. “It was Hailey who introduced me to cocaine. I did it with her in her dorm room. She was also smoking marijuana.”

    This class act? We would never have guessed …

  305. on 27 Dec 2009 at 1:43 pmCynthia

    Dollars to doughnuts, this is something that Hailey did – probably just her way of saying a final “so long” to her ex-soulmate.
    It just smacks of something an immature, attention grabber would do – the more drama, the better. She wants to extend her 15 minutes any way she can.
    It’s not exactly on the same level as prancing around a girl’s wrestling ring, but a knife through a note and a slashed up apartment is effective.
    And how dumb was Jon in not being there when she was moving out? Particularly when you owe the roomate $90,000 that you can’t pay back – what did he figure was going to happen to his stuff? He can’t seem to catch a break but most of it is the direct result of his own behavior(s).
    All parties involved seem to have the combined IQ of a stalk of asparagus.

  306. on 27 Dec 2009 at 2:08 pmLinda

    Cynthia, if by “direct result of his behavior” you mean he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed, I agree. I do kinda wonder how he makes it from one day to the next. I’m really sorry this happened. But Jon seems to have no common sense and no ’street saavy’. He was at home w/the kids for Christmas. Does anyone know if Kate was there?

  307. on 27 Dec 2009 at 2:24 pmLaura

    Speaking of Kate 1.0, what about Kate Major? She was always very vocal about her hate for Jon. It’s pure speculation but not out of the question.

    Hi all! Hope you don’t mind, I just wanted to spread this around as many sites as I can because I think it should be out there:

    Okay I was just reading a comment on radaronline and it said that Hailey’s lawyer also represents Michael Lohan and Kate Major. I looked it up online and it’s true! Not only that but the lawyer Stephanie Ovadia also follows Stephanie Santoro and vice versa on Twitter. They all follow each other! Some follow each other on Facebook too.

    What the heck!??!?! Something is definitely sketchy about the whole Hailey, Lohan, Major, Stephanie scenario. Those conspiracy theories are starting to sound plausible.

    Too many frigging coincidences…
    And why would NYPD want to talk to Hailey’s parents? To find out how their daughter became such a thug?

    Linda ~ I think that’s a big part of his on-going problems. He just goes from one day to the next. It’s like watching a frog jump around on a hot skillet.
    No planning, no forethought. He really has the mentality of an arrested development teen. I think it has a lot to do with why he hooked up with Hailey to begin with – the birds of a feather thing.

    As far as Kate being home for Xmas – the one thing she stated right at the beginning was that she had no intention of ever being separated from her kids on the holidays. I’d have loved to have been a fly on the wall in the Gosselin Manor for the holidays! Awkward, much?!

    I have been enjoying reading the speculation from other posters about some kind of conspiracy going on and that Jon may be holding a “smoking gun” against Kate.
    I personally think it would be the shortest “tell all” book in history. If Jon had anything to use or say against Kate, he would have blabbed or used it by now.
    As for TLC having some kind of nefarious plan, using all the players in Jon’s ex-circle, why would they bother? He’s already locked into their contract and he’s not winning points in court.

  315. on 27 Dec 2009 at 4:29 pmDunwoody Mom

    I look at it diferently Linda. If TLC was not concerned with what Jon could say, then why try and keep him muzzled? The show is off the air and the Gosselins are yesterday’s news – why has TLC spent so much time and money to keep Jon quiet?

    I think that TLC is using Jon’s defiance as an example to others who are under contract to them – i.e., “screw around on us and we’ll squash you! Don’t believe us? Give Jon G. a call and see what he has to say”!

    I see it as a company (regardless of what they sell or represent) enforcing their legally-binding contract.

    So, is Jon smart enough to put all this together? I question Heller’s intentions. Somehow, I think he too is distantly hooked up to the Lohan/Hailey/etc. circle. Jon needs to quit getting his advice from all these “inner circle” people…BTW Jon, that includes the Rabbi! Jon should give Paul Petersen a call.

    Far from the craziness surrounding her ex-husband, Kate Gosselin welcomed her close friend and bodyguard Steve Neild, his wife Gina and their teenage son to a post-Christmas celebration.

    PHOTOS: Bodyguard Steve Neild Helps Kate Gosselin Celebrate Christmas

    Thanks to her divorce agreement, Kate and her eight kids got to keep their beloved Wernersville, PA mini-ranch and the Neilds have remained her main support system.

    Kate’s low-key day was a far cry from what was going on with Jon Gosselin this weekend. He reported to cops that his New York apartment had been burglarized and, without using her name publicly, has accused his ex-girlfriend Hailey Glassman of the crime.

    Hailey isn’t taking the accusations lying down. She has her own attorneys representing her and is making her own accusations against Jon.

    I just keep thinking, if a paranoid President can hire a bunch of clown caperers to burglarize rooms at the Watergate, how far do you suppose a sleezy corporate TV production company will go to protect their skanky little dealings called reality TV programming? Sounds like the cast of characters are less than reputable and willing to do just about anything for a dime. I can think that only TLC would have the means (cash), motive and power to pull off such an elaborate cover-up. It has now become overtly criminal and dangerous. Something has to break.

  326. on 27 Dec 2009 at 6:07 pmDunwoody Mom

    So, the Roloffs, who announced , via Matt’s website, that they were taking a break from filiming, were vandalized as well? Interesting…..

  327. on 27 Dec 2009 at 6:08 pmTam

    Shouldn’t he be speaking to the NYPD instead, Mr. Contract Lawyer?
    Speaking only to RadarOnline . com, Hailey Glassman’s attorney Anand Ahuja called the trashing of Jon Gosselin’s apartment and the finger-pointing at his former girlfriend a pr stunt.

    PHOTOS: Jon Gosselin Was In Reading, PA Near His Kids Home Sunday

    “It appears to be a huge publicity stunt,” said Ahuja, an attorney specializing in domestic violence who works with Glassman’s primary lawyer Stephanie Ovadia.

    “The police investigation is still ongoing and we are sure the investigation will reveal that someone is trying to frame Hailey,” Ahuja added.

    As RadarOnline.com exclusively reported, Hailey was interviewed by the police Saturday. Her mother spoke to the cops Sunday.

    “There are no charges against Hailey,” Ahuja said. “I don’t think they are even considering her as a suspect in a crime. It appears that somebody, and I don’t know who that might be, or what their motive might be, is framing her. The detectives are still working on it.”

    I wonder if the NYPD can give all the “players” a polygraph; do they have to have all kinds of just cause or risk stepping on someone’s rights?
    It seems to me that an investigator with good background information on Jon-Boy could figure out, from the property that was NOT thrashed, exactly who did the thrashing. Sort of like a “personality profile of possessions.”
    The first thing I thought of when I heard about this was the way people get caught for arson: a week or two before they set their house or boat on fire, the idiots move all of their expensive paintings, important papers, and whatever else is irreplaceable, into a rented storage facility. If they’re really stupid-for-a-living, they use a friend’s garage or basement. It’s just a matter of tme, contacting all the storage places, until the cops say BINGO! and another World’s Dumbest Criminals episode is born.
    When the second Jon-gate story came out, saying “his television wasn’t harmed or stolen,” and it was things like shredded pillows and a stolen or broken coffee maker, and NOT his $800.00 shoes, etc. etc., I began to suspect Jon-Boy. Also, someone on the d-listed or somewhere site, said “If it was a genuine Ming Dynasty vase, it would have been 350 to 700 years old, NOT 100.” And I do know it would have been at least 500 years old… and that Heller’s brain is close to that.
    Living with Hate, I hope Jon-Boy at least learned in Crime 101: “Don’t ever con a con man” because in NYPD, he’s foolin’ with the best of ‘em.
    If this was a “profe$$ional” job, I think there would have been a lot more damage; isn’t the fight with TLC all about money? The walls and floors would be wrecked, the air-conditioning and heating systems trashed, appliances ruined; all done without drawing attention or making much noise. But costing Jon-Boy plenty, like in the tens of thousands of dollars – and Hailey, too, IF she’s on the lease. Who is on the lease? Did Jon-Boy have renter’s insurance? and on and on. Hopefully, all these things will be looked in to and maybe we’ll get to know the TRUTH about this Gosselin caper.
    I’m so sick of the whole thing. Do ANY of them have any PRIDE???

    Preesi put up a partial page from a magazine and I couldn’t see what publication it was or a date. Preesi is most generally a trusted source.

    I don’t think it’s normal for a grown married woman with kids to want to be President of Kate’s fan club. That woman must spend all of her waking hours on the computer tracking Kate…while her kids are breaking things and writing on the walls hoping to get her attention.

    Last week we hear that something big is going to come out to put the nail in Jon’s coffin. Now he gets vandalized and some think he could have done it himself for the insurance money.
    Has anyone traced who and where it was first hinted at that Jon could have done it himself?
    It seems plausible so who put the idea in our heads?
    TLC owns Hailey. They pay her to move out and leave the key with someone while they know Jon is gone. They pay someone to vandalize his place making it look really fishy. Would not be hard to do would it?
    Jon gets drug into court and charged with insurance fraud screaming and kicking the whole way that he is being framed.
    TLC knows that most will not believe him. His lawyer could easily be taking money under the table from TLC too.
    Someone high up at TLC hates Jon and wants Kate. Will we ever know who it is?

  339. on 27 Dec 2009 at 11:42 pmPeg

    One of the first things I thought was Jon’s attorneys were on the take from TLC. Why in the world would he hang on to this nit wit Heller who he got from Blowhan? The whole shittin shabang sounds fishy to me and it’s getting quite ridiculous.

    This was posted in GWOP on Dec. 20:

    I might know things said…
    Pay close attention to this and then watch what happens. The conspiracy against Jon is more far reaching and twisted than anyone knows.

    It is already fairly well known that Stephanie Santoro was on TLC/Kate’s payroll. As was Deanna Hummel. What may not be known is that Kate Majors was also and so were Lohan and Hailley herself!

    Jon needed to be on his toes while this whole thing went down. If he were to get a cut of the house or more access to the kids he did not need to be distracted by bimbos and losers giving bad advice.

    Look how Hailley swooped in. The daughter of Kate’s plastic surgeon contacts Jon out of the blue to offer “support”. Yeah ok. So she pretends they have this big romance going and then BAM! She starts telling the world how Jon is a pathological liar, Jon is crazy, Jon is a stalker. And to what was she referring? That he “cheated” on her with Santoro and Majors! Lohan starts selling him out. Meanwhile, Jon took advice to move to NY and agreed to give up the fight for his kids thinking Hailley would be there for him always. She pressured him to do this!

    Now Jon is out in the cold as was the plan from the get go. They knew just what this man’s vulnerabilities were and exploited them. He needed companionship and someone to care about him so they begin to send in the bimbo parade. They send in the fake friends. Kate is painted out to be a saint and Jon is forever known as just an douchey Dad. Note that Hailley never talked bad about Kate, said she respected her. Look at all the details Lohan now wants to cough up about how Jon broke his contract even though Lohan was the one pressuring Jon to do just that.

    Another move is coming soon and it will be the nail in Jon’s coffin. It’s going to be devastating. Just watch.

    NMR, I agree. I also think someone should contact NYPD with this info.
    Either Jon is the target of a huge conspiracy (and why no credible journalist hasn’t taken this whole thing on as a way to expose what could be the biggest media cover up in reality TV is beyond me) OR, I don’t know…..to be honest, I have a really hard time believing that Jon is the bad guy that the media is making him out to be. We all saw with our own eyes what Kate was capable of and how she emasculated him over and over. We saw Jon as a doting father. We saw Jon get up at the butt crack of dawn to serve her highness coffee in bed. We saw and heard from Julie and others in the know who confirmed the suspicions we had about Kate’s rage and her narcissism.
    I don’t believe a word that TLC, Kate or any of her people have to say about Jon.
    This whole thing sucks!!!!

    #342 NMR, I’ve not seen anymore on this from “I might know things” but I don’t always read GWOP. I’ll check and if I see anything I’ll post it here. I agree, I find it very upsetting, and also very plausible. It could also be just a guess, but only a few days after this posting Jon’s apartment was ransacked and Hailey’s lawyers are strongly suggesting a PR move. I don’t think Jon would go there but I just hope the police find out who did this so there’s no questions.

    I found 2 additional entries in GWOP:

    I might know things said…
    It is very possible that people who speak out on some things are family members or spouses, friends or girlfriend/boyfriend of someone who knows all but has signed a confidentiality agreement. It could be that they don’t want to get in trouble : )

    There were several responses to “I might know things” post. This is one. If you go to GWOP to read it’s in the open discussion 12/19 – 1/1 section.

    ” MickeyMcKean said…
    TO: I might know things

    I spent two years of my life getting info out to a membership as to what was really going on behind the scenes and why it was costing us millions of dollars. I was posting under my real name, not an alias, so I had credibility in getting the word out. I can’t even tell you how many times someone would post something under an alias such as “I might know things” in order to derail me.

    So based upon my past experience, please note my guard is up.

    You may be a sheeple in disguise trying to stir things up or you may in fact be the real deal.

    Time will tell as there is no doubt that this train wreck is still going down the tracks.

    Even though I have never met Jon (so I can’t say I *know* him and what he may or may not do) I admit I am concerned for his health and safety because there is just too much money involved. Also, even though I’m trying to pay attention to the legit reports, I don’t understand how Jon keeps getting the short end of the deal.

    Therefore I do hope that if you are aware of anything harmful or criminal that may be planned for Jon, or of anything that would drive him “over the edge” putting “the nail in Jon’s coffin” I pray that you find the strength to step forward and do the right thing.

    Regardless of whatever games are in the works, if any, there are still 8 young children who would be traumatized and devastated for the rest of their lives if they lost their father forever.”

    ‘Exclusive’ to ROL from Heller the Hack:

    “Hailey Glassman is going to jail. It’s a simple as that.”

    That’s what Jon Gosselin’s lawyer Mark Heller told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview, as New York police continue to investigate damage to Jon’s apartment.

    Police seized building security tape, according to Heller, who said the only person other than Jon with a key to his apartment is Hailey.

    Heller spoke out after Hailey’s attorney told RadarOnline.com that the situation appeared to be a “huge publicity stunt” and someone is trying to frame Hailey.

    Heller fired back that security video will prove Hailey trashed Jon’s apartment Saturday and left with his plasma TV and other belongings.

    He revealed that Jon’s favorite Louis Vuitton shoes were shredded by some type of knife and a Ming vase that was in Jon’s family for 100 years was shattered.

    Police gathered fingerprint evidence from the knife and the handwritten note, Heller told RadarOnline.com. One source says that Hailey has admitted to writing the note.

    “The building security tape will not lie and the evidence will speak for itself,” Heller told RadarOnline.com.

    The former Jon & Kate Plus 8 star discovered his New York apartment ransacked after spending Christmas in Pennsylvania with his eight children.

    He also found a handwritten note “speared” with a knife into his wooden dresser, Heller told RadarOnline.com. Some of his clothing, luggage and bedding was slashed, according to Heller.

    Hailey’s mother called Jon, Heller told RadarOnline.com, but Jon wouldn’t discuss the incident with her.

    RadarOnline.com was first to report that Hailey was questioned by police on Saturday and that her parents spoke to police Sunday.

    Never one to mince words, Heller told RadarOnline.com: “Jon feels like he was raped.” He added that investigators will speak to Jon again in several days and he expects criminal charges to be filed soon after that.

    Bad feelings between Hailey and Jon were obvious when Hailey Twittered that Jon stole her rent money, a story first reported by RadarOnline.com. She moved out of the apartment they were sharing last week.

    So, Stephanie Santoro is a Facebook friend of Hailey Glassman & Damon Feldman. Hailey is a Facebook friend of Stephanie Santoro, Stephanie Ovadia, and Damon Feldman, & still has Jon Gosselin as a friend. Damon Feldman is a Facebook friend of Kate Major? Interesting…

    And on Twitter…look up stephovadia & k8major and you will see that they both follow Hailey, Stephanie Skankwhoro and Michael Blowhan.

    The kicker is that you don’t necessarily have to follow someone on Twitter officially to read their tweets, unless of course their tweets are protected like Hailey’s. If that’s the case, that Hailey wants her tweets protected, why the hell would she allow these other people to follow her?

    You should see my forehead. lol.

    But seriously, I have nothing bad to say about Baby Mama. I have a certain loyalty to her because she welcomed me and kept me there when others wanted me gone.

    She’s been very nice to me and actually posts my comments and although we have totally different viewpoints we respect each other as people, and that’s important to me. To be honest she seems to rarely be on the computer, I think she’s quite busy in her personal life. (Much to my dismay because it takes a while to view the comments but I know she has to keep comment moderation on.)

    As for the “Kate fans” there and elsewhere, no, I don’t get it and I honestly try to see their view on it and just can’t. Aside from that I enjoy the discussions and I guess I think the opposing viewpoints make it more interesting. As long as the other posters there are respectful towards me I can deal with it. I’ve had a few battles there but I’m not easily intimidated. I guess if you read there you know what I’m talking about.

    Although it is nice to read other blogs (and I do) that see things my way so that I know I’m not crazy. I try to make my comments at Baby Mama’s first before I read other blogs so that I’m not influenced by other’s comments but I find that people a lot of times say or have said exactly what I say anyway. I also like that other blogs mention things that the Kate fans just gloss over or don’t even mention.

    I do find it funny how a lot of them don’t reply to my comments. They say it’s because they just scroll past my comments but I’m just going to take it as they agree with me and couldn’t have said it better themselves. lol.

    I normally don’t post anywhere else for two reasons: 1) It’s time consuming and 2) I don’t like the “blog wars” that I keep seeing popping up between the “trolls” and “haters” and “sheeple” on various sites. I just can’t get into that and don’t want to get in the middle of it all.

    So nice chatting with you all… I’m off to see if Hailey has been arrested yet.

  356. on 28 Dec 2009 at 12:31 pmSchmeckyGirl

    Uh oh. I didn’t mean to start a blog war! Everybody back to your corners!

    Oh and Hailey’s tweets are only protected if you aren’t already following her. She must have changed her settings recently. Maybe after the vandalism?

  357. on 28 Dec 2009 at 12:44 pmTam

    No arrest yet but…
    Hailey Glassman’s attorney admitted to RadarOnline.com that security footage will show Jon Gosselin’s ex girlfriend removing a TV and other items from his apartment.

    But Stephanie Ovadia said Glassman did nothing wrong and simply removed her belongings from the apartment she shared with the former Jon & Kate Plus 8 star.

    “We’re not denying Hailey took the TV,” Ovadia told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interiew. “We are not denying she took her belonging out of the apartment. She is moving on with her life and taking her belongings.

    “She moved all her belongings out so there will be security video showing her carrying items out of the apartment.”

    Glassman moved out last week. Jon called police Saturday and said he found his apartment ransacked with clothing and other items slashed, plus a note from Hailey speared to a wooden dresser with a knife.

    His attorney Mark Heller told RadarOnline.com: “Hailey Glassman is going to jail. It’s a simple as that.”

    But Ovadia said that comment was irresponsible and Hailey, “is not even a suspect.”

    She also said she has no information about a letter left in the apartment allegedly signed by Hailey. “I don’t know anything about a letter. I don’t have a copy of a letter,” Ovadia told RadarOnline.com.

    Amazingly, despite all the accusations, Ovadia says Hailey has no bad feelings toward Jon.

    “Hailey has nothing bad to say about Mr. Gosselin,” Ovadia told RadarOnline.com. “She took her belongings and she is moving on with her life.”

    Ovadia insisted that Hailey is simply caught in a bad situation and confirmed – as RadarOnline.com first reported – that both Hailey and her parents have been interviewed by police in the ongoing investigation.

    “Hailey is 22 years old and she needs to move on with her life. She is caught up in madness and she is a baby,” Ovadia told RadarOnline.com.

    “She was asked certain facts that occurred by police. Her mother was also asked about certain facts.”

    But Ovadia was insistent that Heller had gone too far stating Hailey will be arrested. “You can’t, as a lawyer, become personal,” she told RadarOnline.com. “Our service is to defend our client. It is irresponsible to put out there someone is going to jail when the person is not even a suspect, they have not been convicted and there isn’t even a judge appointed in the case.”

    I was just thinking (and again, I spend way too much time analyzing this whole mess….just call me Nancy Drew)….

    Jon wears his emotions on his sleeve. Remember the final episode of season 4 or 5 when Jon and Kate were sitting on the couch and Kate kept saying she loves the show and she’s happy and Jon kept saying he wasn’t happy and didn’t know if they’d be back? Kate was awful cool and collected for a woman who already KNEW she was filing for divorce. She knew their marriage was done and yet she played along with TLC for the ratings. Jon on the other hand couldn’t hide his frustration, anger and heartbreak.
    Just another clue into Kate’s ability to lie and deceive….oh but Jon is the one who walked out right?
    TLC execs should rot in hell…..

    Of course Hailey won’t say anything bad about Jon now. She trashed his apartment and she knows it. She’s probably hoping he will drop the charges once the truth comes out so she has to be nice to him right now. Look at how she trashed him on twitter all the time. Now she needs him so she’s playing nice.

    Anyone here have connections with the New York PD? Someone should notify them and have them look into different things.
    Things for Jon are looking very troubling. He was played the fool and fell right into the hole they dug for him.

  367. on 28 Dec 2009 at 3:35 pmJen

    A friend mentioned to me, and I thought it was rather interesting: how do we know Kate and Hailey didn’t have a thing and that this is all part of the plan? She (Kate) certainly gives off a vibe, seems rather close to her friend from MI, knew the Glassman’s more intimately, and seems to have some sort of connection or at least appearance of cahoots with the nannies in question.

    Where has Kate “hidden” herself all this time when away from the kids? Coincidentally, it’s at the exact time Jon is tied up with the kids and out of the loop.

    Jon isn’t too bright and Kate is diabolical, after all.

    Gossipy and without facts, I know, but worth speculating about it would seem. Who the heck knows how far this goes, really?

    ***********************************

    I hope you don’t mind my posting again here.

    Wow. You just reminded me of something! Thank you so much! Is flirting a connection? lol.

    I just remembered that when I was in high school I was cutting out of class and went into the school auditorium because they were having a special program going on in there and I thought I could go undetected. Turned out it was a special program by the NYCPD. I was surrounded by police officers. lol.

    Anyway I hung out in the back of the auditorium and I met an officer there that was young and cute and we started talking. He figured out I didn’t belong there but let me stay. I cut out two days in a row and hung out with him there in the auditorium. We got along great. He was so nice and even gave me one of the pins off his collar. I never saw him again after that but I just looked him up on the internet because I remember his name. I found him!

    He was a Sergeant at the time I met him but made it all the way up to Captain! Now he’s a well-respected lawyer practicing in NY and NJ. I sent him an email to see if it’s the same guy but I’m sure it is. I hope to hear back from him because that was such a great memory for me.

    Anyway, I don’t know if I’ll have the nerve to ask him to check into the Gosselin thing for me but it’s nice to know a lawyer who has police ties. lol. And maybe if he asks what made me look him up I’ll tell him and see what he says. That’s IF he actually replies to my email. He may not. He may think I’m nuts. Maybe it’s not even him but I’m pretty sure it is.

    Well anyway, thanks for helping me remember such a great memory.

    From E! Online:
    At least Glassman can rest easy knowing her corner is not completely without its backers—even if those backers happen to be Michael Lohan and Kate Major.

    “Something sounds very fishy to me,” Major told E! News of the circumstances surrounding Gosselin’s alleged break-in. “Jon should focus on getting his own life together and stop trying to ruin other peoples’ lives.”

    As for Lohan, the ever-chatty former Gosselin pal told E! News that he too stands behind Glassman.

    “I have come to know Hailey and I do know her attorney, Stephanie Ovadia. Stephanie is one of the most integritous people I know, and I have never known Hailey to lie.”

    With friends like these, who needs enemies Jon Gosselin.

  370. on 28 Dec 2009 at 3:58 pmSchmeckyGirl

    I would like to add that I was an honor student and it was close to graduation at the time so the cutting out was not something I did regularly. I don’t want to give the wrong impression. School good. Cutting out bad.

    And now we hear from ‘Celebrity Boxing Promoter Famewhore’ Damon Feldman:

    Hailey Glassman’s latest love interest, boxing promoter Damon Feldman, believes that she was set up by Jon Gosselin after his New York flat was ransacked.

    RadarOnline.com previously reported how Glassman’s attorney Stephanie Ovadia claimed her client was simply removing her belongings from the apartment whereas Gosselin believes his former lover trashed his pad.

    But Feldman – who was recently romantically linked with Glassman himself – doesn’t believe she is capable of vandalism.

    In an exclusive interview he told RadarOnline.com: “I last spoke with Hailey about a week ago and she was pretty depressed about the whole situation.

    “So, we have decided to give each other some space as I don’t need all this drama surrounding Jon Gosselin.

    “In my opinion she has been set up because she was definitely over the guy and had already made arrangements with delivery trucks to remove her possessions before the incident.

    “Hailey may act young and foolish at times but she comes from a really good family and I don’t think she’s the type of person to smash up a place.

    “She would be a fool to keep getting involved with Jon Gosselin because in my opinion he’s unstable.

    “Hailey is a good kid and she should simply move on with her life. Hopefully, she and I can remain friends in the future.”

    The Glassman-Gosselin ‘love-hate’ relationship took a bizarre twist on Boxing Day after the reality dad called police and said he found his apartment ransacked with clothing and other items slashed, plus a note he claimed was from Hailey speared to a wooden dresser with a knife.

    Gosselin’s attorney Mark Heller told RadarOnline.com that Glassman would be ‘going to jail’ as a result of the incident while Ovadia claimed that her client was ‘not even a suspect’ and that security footage would show she was just removing her belongings.

    Damon Feldman added: “Things seem to have gotten out of hand but I believe Hailey just wants to move on with her life and Jon Gosselin can’t handle that.

    “The guy has got eight kids for god’s sake there was never going to be a future as Hailey is way too young for that right now.”

    The celebrity boxing promoter also revealed to RadarOnline.com that he’s currently in talks with another one of Jon Gosselin’s former flames, ex tabloid reporter Kate Major, to appear at one of his all girl matches in the New Year.

    Ditto Schmecky Girl. It would be really neat if your h.s. friend ended up being able to at least ‘check into’ the situation. I think it’s scary that Jon has all these idiots trashing him and that all these people are in touch via Twitter and/or FB.
    Something that ‘jumped’ out at me, above, was the comment about Hailey got Jon to not go for custody of his kids, he thought she’d always be there for him, etc. If that’s true, that most definitely sounds like TLC’s influence. Hailey gets Jon to not fight for custody, with TLC thinking if Kate has full custody, she can use those kids as long as she wants!!! I would bet my last dollar, that if someone did some investigating of TLC execs., etc. they would find not only illegal activity, but as someone above said, THE story of the
    the year, possibly the decade (?) I think a good place to start would be w/Eileen O’Neil and Bill what’s his name. There would be indictments, I know it! And I’d be willing to bet one of them would be Kate!

    Kate Gosselin’s Low-Key Reading Living

    Tending to the day’s agenda, Kate Gosselin was spotted making her rounds in Reading, Pennsylvania on Monday (December 28).

    After heading to a local tanning salon to touch up her skin tone, the TLC reality mom escorted daughter Kara off to an appointment at the dentist’s office.
    While Kate seems to be doing her best to remain out of the spotlight at the moment, her ex-husband Jon has found himself involved in a legal back-and-forth with ex-girlfriend Hailey Glassman over a break-in at his NYC apartment over the weekend.
    Denying any wrongdoing, Glassman’s attorney, Anand Ahuja, boldly stated: “Somebody is trying to frame my client.”
    Of claims by the Gosselin camp that Miss Glassman left a note pinned to his dresser with a butcher knife, Hailey’s other attorney, Stephanie Ovadia, tells People magazine: “I don’t know anything about any note and I can’t confirm it at this time. This appears to be a publicity stunt.”

    Linda I agree with you! Kate is certainly in on it.
    Strange that now the boxing guy is connected to Kate 2?
    I think not.
    TLC didn’t count on these weirdo’s they are paying to start tweeting each other. HA

  379. on 28 Dec 2009 at 6:25 pmCupcake

    SchmeckyGirl of course flirting counts! :o )
    I hope he emails you back. You could have a hand in saving Jon and his children. Maybe he would look into what has been happening to Jon.
    Shame on Hailey if she talked Jon into moving away from his babies AND talked him into giving up custody. She could find herself in a very hot seat on the other side.
    Go SchmeckyGirl go!

    Okay I don’t twitter so I don’t know if non-member tweets are allowed, BUT is there any way a Muser could tweet Jon and give him a heads up? He really needs an ally on his side like his brothers, a clergy man or one of his father’s friends. I feel like we are seeing a trainwreck in slow motion here and that would be really sad if Jon got hurt.

  384. on 29 Dec 2009 at 12:52 ambella

    This is so frustrating…I had the tv on all day while I was working and the 11am Chicago affiliate had a blurb about the breakin (extremely random as we’re in CHICAGO??) I admit I wasn’t paying much attention but it seemed to come out of nowhere. They don’t typically handle anything in the entertainment biz that’s not local. Then the same affiliate on the 4pm broadcast announced the quote from Hailey/lawyer, et al that it was likely a publicity stunt. I don’t get how this is garnering so much attention and I’m really frustrated at whatever forces are directed at bringing Jon down. I admit I’m intrigued by the report that paps appeared before police, but then again, Jon is friends with them and how quickly would NYPD respond to a standard B&E when they have so many other crimes to deal with? Either way, I agree with those that are concerned for his well being. I hope he has some genuine support on his side.

  386. on 29 Dec 2009 at 2:02 amLaura

    Interesting article from E! online….
    Was Kate Gosselin fired from a job she never really had?
    A recent report claimed that reality television’s most famous mother of eight was given the boot from a still-in-development View-esque talk show fronted by Food Network cooking queen Paula Deen because she’s “too controversial.”
    A source now tells me that Gosselin was never considered a serious contender to permanently join the chatfest panel consisting of Deen, former Early Show cohost Rene Syler, Lee Woodruff and comedian Judy Gold…
    “She was never contracted to be on the panel,” the source says. “She was just meant to be a guest.”
    Perhaps her personality wasn’t big enough for the table, too.
    When the women joined forces in September in New York City to shoot the project, a source on the set told us that Gosselin was “very shy” and “quiet.”
    Not exactly a recipe for a successful talk show, is it?
    Radaronline.com also reported that Deen worried about Gosselin getting too much attention for her participation. About 20 women are said to have auditioned for a spot on the show.
    A rep for Telepictures, the media heavyweight behind the show, declined to comment.

  387. on 29 Dec 2009 at 3:13 amJeanette

    Peg,
    TLC and NBC are interconnected and I would love to know why. The Today Show with Meredith Viera are especially in love with TLC for some reason. Meredith V interviewed the Duggers, Gosselins,Hayes, and I think The Little Couple, Jen and Bill. Yesterday, she interviewed TLC’s latest train wreak of a family called “One Big Happy Family. The story centers around a family as they struggle with obesity. Sounds like a snooze fest to me. If I want to see a family struggle with weight issues I’ll go see my niece and her three kids. What’s next TLC & NBC what other freak show can you dream up?

  388. on 29 Dec 2009 at 7:26 amDunwoody Mom

    Wow, so Kate was just a “guest” on this pilot? Another whopper from TLC. So, Kate goes from being the “star” of a talk show to just a guest. That’s too funny. When are you going to give it up TLC? Gee, wow, I cannot wait for that new Kate show in the spring. I’ll bet it is going to be a barn-burner of a show.

  389. on 29 Dec 2009 at 7:39 amDunwoody Mom

    Remember, when TLC claimed that Jon’s behavior was hurting TLC’s “wholesome image”? Well, here is New Year’s Eve lineup on The Learning Channel…

    7:00 pm – My Husband’s 3 Wives
    8:00 pm – Forbidden Love
    9:00 pm – Anatomy of Sex
    10:00 pm – Strange Sex

    I would think something like this, brought out in a court of law, in front of a jury, would tend to negate TLC’s argument – wouldn’t you?

  390. on 29 Dec 2009 at 7:42 amTam

    Dunwoody Mom,
    Again, we need to volunteer our services to Jon! The people who are paid to look after his interests are truly incompetant!!!

    Tam, that’s so true. I mean, there is tons of “stuff” out there that can be used against TLC. Why isn’t it?

    As far as the kids, it cannot be fun being around their mother these days (is it ever?). Kate looks miserable these days and I am sure the kids are bearing the brunt of her unhappiness.

    David Zaslav, who is President and CEO of Discovery Communications, parent of TLC, formerly worked at NBC. In fact, his bio indicates he was part of the startup of MSNBC. So, maybe this David character is using his connections at NBC to “assist” TLC?

    I would guess that David is not in on the “burn and awe” of Jon Gosselin. But someone near the top is.

    EXCLUSIVE: Security Tape Proves Jon Gosselin Didn’t Stage Burglary, Says LawyerEXCLUSIVE: Security Tape Proves Jon Gosselin Didn’t Stage Burglary, Says Lawyer
    ——————————————————————————–
    Posted on Dec 29, 2009 @ 01:53PM print it send it
    INFA security tape shows that Jon Gosselin was in his apartment for only 60 seconds before leaving to report a burglary to building management, proving he didn’t stage the break-in, his lawyer told RadarOnline.com exclusively.

    The lawyer also said the New York police want to meet with Jon on January 3.

    “He is going to be clocked by that surveillance camera going into his building,” Mark Heller told RadarOnline.com. Sixty seconds after going into his apartment, “he comes down to talk to management. It’s all on tape.

    PHOTOS: Kate Gosselin Celebrates Holidays With Bodyguard

    “He couldn’t have done all that damage in 60 seconds. His place was trashed, his belongings ripped to shreds.”

    Heller was responding to reports that Jon staged the burglary at his New York apartment as a publicity stunt. Hailey Glassman has been questioned by New York police in connection with the Saturday incident and her parents have also spoken to cops.

    PHOTOS: Jon Says Goodbye to His Dogs

    Hailey’s lawyer told RadarOnline.com that Jon’s ex-girlfriend did remove items from the apartment they shared, including a TV, but that the items belonged to Hailey.

    Not so, says Heller.

    “She’s probably going to have a list of things she said he said she could take,” Heller told RadarOnline.com. “Well, let me tell you, we will have credit card statement and receipts proving Jon bought the items she is carrying out the door.

    VIDEO: Hailey Says Jon Is Emotionally Abusing Her

    “And we will say in a sworn affidavit that he (Jon) didn’t authorize her to take the TV and other items that belong to him. Once they (investigators) see the video it will be a felony.” Heller says he believes Hailey will face charges of possession of stolen property and vandalism.

    EXCLUSIVE: Hailey’s Lawyer Admits She Took TV, Other Things

    Some of Jon’s clothing was slashed, a Ming vase was broken and a note, allegedly from Hailey, was speared to a dresser with a wooden knife. (Hey kids, go rent the movie Fatal Attraction!)

    Hailey’s lawyer says she had nothing to do with any of that. But Heller told RadarOnline.com: “The forensics evidence will back up the vandalism.”

    EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Hailey’s Lawyer Says Break-In Is Publicity Stunt

    Driving home his point, he said: She (Hailey) is looking at felony charges in my opinion. She is looking at four years. And if she is convicted she is definitely doing jail time. I don’t know that she will do four years, but she will do jail time.

    “I mean taking a butcher knife and cutting expensive items,, breaking a family heirloom… give me a break. – I don’t know how you can cut her slack.

    “The damage is in the thousands. There is no way she (Hailey) can walk away without severe penalty

    UPDATE on my NYPD cop/lawyer friend:

    He wrote me back! We’ve emailed back and forth a few times. I think he’s still in shock. He said he couldn’t believe that I remembered him 22 years later and remembered his name and rank. lol.

    It’s mostly been catching up and what we are up to now, etc. I can’t imagine bringing up “Jon Gosselin” to him. lol. I don’t want to bring up a “conspiracy theory”, but I did want to ask if he knew anything going on with the vandalism investigation. Unfortunately he’s not a cop any longer but maybe he still has connections. I’m still waiting for him to ask me what exactly it was that I wanted a NYPD officer for. He’s probably still in shock. lol.

    On another note, I read that Jon Gosselin was only in the apartment for one minute before he ran out to get management. So much for the “publicity stunt” theory. Good!

  400. on 29 Dec 2009 at 3:04 pmjudy

    This is sort of off topic but lately I’ve been watching episodes of Table for 12. So far, I absolutely love this family. They seem genuine and respectful of each other! (what a refreshing change). I want to believe this family is different and will be careful about what is shown on TV. I want to believe that this family will not get sucked into the fame and fortune aspect of things.
    I don’t see Betty or Eric as narcissists. I see them as a loving couple with a large family who maybe wanted some extra money and some opportunities to do things they may not have otherwise been able to do. I don’t fault them for that.
    HOWEVER, I do fault TLC. I got a sick feeling when I visited the TLC Facebook fan page for the Hayes. The “fans” are creepy. I don’t think this is something that TLC prepares these families for. I certainly wouldn’t (and didn’t ) realize how creepy it is to have “fans” when you’re just a family. This family is now in a similar position of Jon and Kate. TLC says “Here you go…. a nice juicy carrot (ie: money, opportunities, fun trips and a chance to get the word out about CP)…..but they don’t give them the downside of it all. NO privacy, rabid fans, no chance at a normal childhood, difficult time giving it all up when things start seeming harmful to your family…..
    So to sum up….I don’t blame the Hayes family for choosing to do this. My impression of them is that they are nice people.
    I think Jon and Kate were different as I think Kate knew exactly what she was getting herself into and big fat did it anyway….plus she never seemed “genuine” in her mothering.
    Bottom line: TLC sucks big monkey butts!!!!!

  401. on 29 Dec 2009 at 3:43 pmJeanette

    Yes, the Hayes seem like a nice family but I can see them falling into the same trap with TLC as Jon & Kate. When I seen the Christmas episode one week before it was actually Christmas I said to myself…Here we go again, it’s Christmas in October for the Hayes children now. Lots of kids having melt downs in that show also. They took the bait, now they have to answer to the devil from now on. Yes, TLC can suck big monkey butts!!!

  402. on 29 Dec 2009 at 4:04 pmjudy

    Jeanette, was that last year’s Xmas episode? I saw one the other night (on youtube) but it was from last year…..I didn’t know they had one this year too? If so, then goshdarnit :( on doing it a week before Xmas :(

    No pass from me for the Hayes (and Duggars) no matter how genuienly nice they are. They are using the kids for income.They already did the bathroom shots 1st season and I’m sure after all the uproar regarding the Gosselins allowing this there won’t be anymore. Very distrubing to me is the Hayes kids, only in the 2nd season, are already mugging for the camera. Duggar kids do it nonstop. Fame has already reared it’s ugly little head in these households.

  405. on 29 Dec 2009 at 4:32 pmLinda

    escrow mama, I agree. I did see the Xmas show a couple wks. ago and it was this years. I thought maybe last year also, but there was something, (stocking,?? don’t remember) w/2009 on it. I don’t care how nice or sweet or agreeable you are, a camera in your face, people you don’t know coming up to you on the streets, etc., will sooner or later, take its toll, mark my word. Anyone on TV because they have numerous kids, is exploiting them.

  406. on 29 Dec 2009 at 4:47 pmjudy

    Linda and EM, I agree but I don’t want to agree ;) I realize it’s exploitation regardless of the intent of the parents….but it’s easier to *like* the Hayes than the Gosselins (imo).

    I can be more forgiving and understanding of the Hayes’ reasons for wanting to do the show (and the Duggars for that matter). At least they both have steady incomes and didn’t need the income of the show to live….however, the bottom line is the same….they are all putting their families out there (without the childrens’ consent…..of course the kids are going to want to have the fun of doing the show now…but as adults they may not agree with their parents’ decisions and feel violated).

    So yes, I agree with you all that regardless of the parents intent and regardless of how nice and normal they seem, it is still exploitation.

    Some backlash for NBC for flying the Goldmans from Brazil:

    news . yahoo . com/s/ap/20091229/ap_en_tv/us_tv_nbc_brazil_charter

    Journalists’ group slams NBC for flying boy home
    By DAVID BAUDER, AP Television Writer David Bauder, Ap Television Writer 1 hr 26 mins ago

    NEW YORK – The Society of Professional Journalists condemned NBC News for practicing “checkbook journalism” by chartering a jet that carried a New Jersey man involved in a bitter custody battle and his son home from Brazil.

    David Goldman, who successfully fought the Brazilian family of his now-deceased ex-wife for custody of 9-year-old Sean, granted an interview to Meredith Vieira of NBC’s “Today” show that aired Monday.

    NBC said Goldman was booked for “Today” before the network invited him on the plane. The network had already arranged for the plane to bring its own employees home for Christmas, NBC News spokeswoman Lauren Kapp said. If NBC hadn’t brought the Goldmans’ home, one of its rivals would have, she said.

    “We’ve covered this story exceptionally well,” she said. “Their going on the plane did not affect our coverage of the story or getting them booked at all.”

    NBC News told viewers that it had paid for the Goldmans’ trip home, she said. The network showed pictures of the Goldmans on the plane and on “Nightly News” featured a brief interview by correspondent Jeff Rossen with David Goldman while both were on the plane.

    The journalists’ group said NBC News jeopardized its integrity with the arrangement.

    “Paying for access taints the credibility and neutrality of what you are doing,” said Andy Schotz, chairman of the SPJ ethics committee. “There is now a motive for people to be helping you, to be telling you what you want to hear.”

    Most news organizations say they don’t pay for interviews. But critics say the commonly used practice of paying to license photos or video from a subject matter or paying for someone’s travel is a way of getting around the restriction.

    At the same time SPJ criticized NBC News for its conduct with the Goldmans, CNN and ABC paid for cell phone pictures taken by Jasper Schuringa, the man who helped subdue an alleged terrorist who tried to take down a Detroit-bound plane. Both also interviewed Schuringa but denied any connection between the payments and interview.

    Kapp said she believed NBC News did nothing wrong by chartering the plane.

    The Goldmans “were invited on as guests,” she said. “This was not a booking strategy.”

    Goldman’s lawyer, Patricia Apy, said Tuesday that Goldman never had a contract with NBC. She said the Goldman camp was loyal to the network because it did a thorough report on his situation a year ago before the story became major news.

    Some media outlets offered favors in return for access, Apy said, but Goldman turned them down. She declined to say which media outlets were involved.

    She said Goldman accepted the flight in part because of fears that multiple camera crews might be onboard if they flew back to the U.S. on a commercial flight.

  408. on 29 Dec 2009 at 7:29 pmDunwoody Mom

    But, yet, NBC had a “journalist” on the airplane to do an “exclusive” interview for NBC. Geez, lawyers and their double-speak.

  409. on 29 Dec 2009 at 8:13 pmTam

    Dunwoody Mom and all,
    Z On TV did a post on this story. Here’s what he had to say regarding NBC/TLC/Kate:

    ‘NBC News has been involved in other forms of questionable “journalism” in connection with its top-rated morning show, “Today,” where the Goldman interview first appeared.

    In November, an NBC production company produced an hourlong interview show for TLC featuring the cable channel’s reality TV star, Kate Gosselin. Natalie Morales, a correspondent and anchor for NBC News, conducted the interview for the show that aired on TLC in the cable channel’s “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ weekly lineup spot. TLC and NBC News were essentially production partners in the show at a time when Gosselin was also appearing on the “Today” show as someone in the news.

    But the Goldman payout is far more obvious and egregious.’

    Just goes to show you what an attention whore she is. If the wind is blowing that hard and it’s cold, wouldn’t most “normal” people button up their coat? But that would hide her boobies.

    Speaking of boobs, head bitch Eileen O’Neill probably doesn’t have a cooking show in mind for Khate. TLC likes to copy all other successful shows. I’d be willing she has something cooked up like Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives for Khate.

    -snip-
    Programmers say a recessionary trend toward home entertaining has driven the genre. “Culturally right now, food is a comfort device,” says TLC chief Eileen O’Neill, who’s peppered her network’s schedule with shows about barbecue pitmasters, dwarf chocolatiers and that New Jersey cake guy, tapping more male viewers.

    The audience for Bravo’s Top Chef, among the top-rated food shows, is the new norm. “It tends to be people who enjoy eating and are interested in food (more than) people who want to do it themselves,” says programming chief Frances Berwick, who’s prepping a spinoff built around desserts.

    The age-old emphasis on following recipes is outmoded, O’Neill says, because “a lot of that information is now readily available online.” And Food Network magazine, published with Hearst, climbed to a circulation of 1 million since launching last summer.

    Like other reality series, food shows spawn stars of their own.

    More Gosselin news from the New York Post…..
    _______________________
    Ex says Jon attacked her
    Last Updated: 1:45 AM, December 30, 2009
    Posted: 1:14 AM, December 30, 2009
    Jon Gosselin allegedly slammed his departing girlfriend Hailey Glassman against the wall of their Manhattan apartment after he saw a photo of her kissing “Celebrity Boxing” promoter Damon Feldman. “That picture started the whole thing, a picture of her kissing another man,” a source told The Post’s Jamie Schram. Earlier, Glassman had “found out he was cheating on her. She told him it was over,” the source said. Glassman filed a harassment complaint with the NYPD, saying “she was pushed against [a] wall” on Dec. 20 and verbally abused by Gosselin, a charge under investigation by cops. “The document speaks for itself,” said Glassman’s lawyer, Stephanie Ovadia. “Jon is a lover, not a fighter,” said Gosselin’s lawyer, Mark Heller. “He’s been rumored to steal a kiss here and there, but he has never been accused of landing a sucker punch.”

  421. on 30 Dec 2009 at 2:55 amjudy

    Why is this coming out now?? Why wasn’t ROL all over this when the complaint was filed? Something is so rotten here……and won’t it be ironic if domestic violence charges are brought against Jon Gosselin when he was being abused for 9 years and no one did jack squat about it???!!!???

  422. on 30 Dec 2009 at 6:28 amNaked Mole Rat

    I’d like to know WHEN Hailey filed a complaint against Jon with the police. Have the police confirmed that? If he did touch her was it to get her off of him or out of his face? Jon was never physical with Kate. I do Tatum know if I believe it.

    Obamas in, reality stars out in desirable neighbors poll
    By Jill Serjeant, Reuters | Tuesday, December 29, 2009, 1:07 PM

    LOS ANGELES (Reuters Life!) – Americans would most like to live next door to the Obama family. But a reality star like California’s “Octomom,” or Jon and Kate Gosselin and their brood of eight would be a big turn off, according to a poll released on Tuesday.

    President Barack Obama, his wife Michelle and daughters Malia and Sasha, came top of a poll that asked Americans who would be their most desirable celebrity neighbor.

    The U.S. first family were followed by TV chat show host Ellen DeGeneres and her partner Portia de Rossi, who tied with Republican Sarah Palin, in the poll by online real estate marketplace Zillow.com.

    But, as in life, families with large broods were deemed the worst likely neighbors.

    Nadya Suleman, the California single mom who this year added octuplets to her existing brood of six children, topped the worst celebrity neighbor poll with 17 percent of votes.

    Suleman, dubbed “Octomom” by the U.S. media, was followed by recently divorced reality TV stars Jon and Kate Gosselin and their eight kids.

    In a reflection of her tendency to polarize Americans, Sarah Palin, the former Republican vice-presidential contender who has five children, also came third in the worst neighbors list with 11 percent of votes.

    “Americans have made it clear that they think politicians and talk show hosts make the best neighbors,” said Amy Bohutinsky, Zillow.com vice president of communications.

    “Apparently Americans are opposed to living next door to a brood of young children, particularly those that come with a television crew and paparazzi,” she added.

    Earlier, Glassman had “found out he was cheating on her. She told him it was over,” the source said.

    ‘Real Life Meets Reality
    The TLC reality series Jon & Kate Plus 8, which hooked millions of viewers with the family chaos of Jon and Kate Gosselin and their children, ended after the couple’s very real bitter breakup. Until the end, cameras captured every plot twist, including fights over money, worries about the kids, and betrayals-but many wondered why anybody should care.’

    This whole Jon’s apartment break-in smells of TLC to me. I think that they will do anything and pay anyone to keep the Gosselin name out there. They want Kate to keep a low profile for a bit, but they know if nothing is mentioned about either Kate or Jon, people will really forget about them. I think that the only reason it’s getting all this press is because TLC is paying ROL to keep talking about it and it’s the end of the year and nothing new is out there for now. Kate is a goner, I can’t see people watching her show for long.
    I would love to know that woman’s wardrobe expenditure. We see her children in the same clothes all the time now that they’re not getting free clothes, and half the time they look pretty raggy, I’m not saying anything against the children, it’s the parents who don’t care. But Kate tramps around in new hooker heels, tons of different coats, her nails are always done and God forbid she doesn’t get in her tanning or hair done.

    I’m curious. How can a person tell, from one still photo, if a gal plays on the girl’s team? Not saying she does or she doesn’t, but what were the telltale signs (in your friend’s opinion)? Physical characteristics? Hair blowin’ in the wind? What would lead a person to make this conclusion based on a photograph?

  435. on 30 Dec 2009 at 11:34 amHarvest Moon

    Yes, it was cold here yesterday. Yes, the winds were brutal. I was at the Berkshire Mall, and it was very hot in many of the stores. Folks around here often leave their coats in the car when going inside to shop so they don’t have to drag those heavy coats around with them. Looks like what these two did — just made a mad dash to the car without buttoning up (sweatshirts, sweaters, whatever). No biggie. I’m guilty, too.

    TMZ has a video up of HONJ Danielle Staub ( the single one that the rest of them hate ) outside a nightclub in NYC saying she has been partying with Jon.
    The opening line of the story:

    Jon Gosselin managed to outdouche himself again

    I read the blurb. It sounds like they bumped into each other at the club, possibly danced a few, and then went home separately. How does this make Jon a douche? What earth shattering news! This smacks of TLC influenced reporting once again. Guess they haven’t stomped on Jon quite enough. The only purpose to this story is to make a feeble attempt to slam Jon once again. It’s gotten to the point of being transparent and ridiculous.

    Splash NewsAccusations are flying between Hailey Glassman and Jon Gosselin, with Hailey claiming Jon pushed her against the wall in their New York apartment and Jon claiming Hailey trashed the apartment, destroying his belongings and leaving a menacing note pinned to the wall with a knife.

    EXCLUSIVE: Hailey Glassman’s Attorney “She’s Upset” Over Jon Gosselin Attacking Her

    Both sides are denying the accusations. As RadarOnline.com previously reported Hailey’s attorney, Stephanie Ovadia, claims Jon’s story about the apartment being trashed is merely a “publicity stunt” and now in an exclusive interview Jon’s attorney, Mark Heller, tells RadarOnline.com that Hailey is making up her claims of abuse simply as retaliation against Jon’s claims.

    EXCLUSIVE: Hailey’s Lawyer Admits She Took TV, Denies Burglary

    “Her legal people obviously advised her to put this out there,” Heller tells RadarOnline.com. “Often times when you have a domestic situation and one of the parties goes down to a police precinct and makes a complaint its not uncommon that the other party is urged to make a counter claim. So the one party will have a bargaining chip, ‘you withdraw your claim I will withdraw my claim’

    VIDEO: Hailey Says Jon Is Emotionally Abusing Her

    “When Jon called 911 on the 26th December and had police come to his apartment, although he didn’t specifically accuse Hailey, a lot of evidence pointed in her direction. He is leaving it up to the police to determine if she is the perpetrator and make an arrest. That is the process going on now.

    EXCLUSIVE: Security Tape Proves Jon Didn’t Stage Burglary, Says Lawyer

    “However, when Hailey was contacted by police, her legal people decide to come up with this ploy – to say he harassed her – however, it flies in the face of what makes good common sense.

    “If Jon did push Hailey on December, 20th why would she wait a week to make a complaint? That’s another thing the D.A. and police will take into consideration, when someone reacts inappropriately. You contact police within minutes like Jon did. You don’t wait a week – if you want credibility you do it right away.

    PHOTOS: Kate Gosselin Celebrates Holidays With Bodyguard

    “This effort for a counter claim will fall on deaf ears. This is less than plausible and not credible, a week after he calls the police she comes up with this scenario and says he did this to me.

    “I think the police investigating this matter will decide to do the right thing.

    PHOTOS: Jon Says Goodbye To His Dogs

    “Also, Jon Gosselin is a lover not a fighter. Although he has been accused of stealing a kiss, he has never been accused of sucker punching any of these ladies he has been involved with

    “When the evidence comes out – the only suckers will be the individual who made a false complaint against Jon.

    “He clearly denies this. The motivation that he saw Hailey kissing another individual linked to Michael Lohan would not inspire him to do this because his relationship had been over for sometime and he was not jealous so that story has no credibility.”

  439. on 30 Dec 2009 at 12:44 pmTam

    Why in the fuck is Jon out clubbing? He should be living the life of a monk for a while.
    Masochist much, Jon?

  440. on 30 Dec 2009 at 1:36 pmJeanette

    It seems to me that every time some speculation about kate comes out or some unflattering news (Kate and BFF Jamie being lesbians) TLC has to make sure they come up with some crumbs to throw about Jon to divert the attention off their golden girl…..and I mean that literally because she is indeed starting to look like a golden girl.

    So what if Jon was a a culb. If it was his time to be home with his kids then he would be a big douche, but if it’s not than so what.Jon will talk to anyone who will talk to Jon and that will eventually be his downfall.

  441. on 30 Dec 2009 at 1:38 pmLisa

    #439 Tam-
    I should have added that to my post above. The guy had the ‘red glow’ of alcohol. He’s out clubbing (again). Maybe, trying to drown the sorrow of losing his family heirloom Ming vase?
    At least there seems to be some honesty in his statement regarding not having had much time to live his 20’s, therefore justifying his current lunancy.
    I question his attorneys though. Wouldn’t someone worth their fee, be telling him to find a hole, crawl in it, and pull the earth back over the top of themselves?
    Perhaps he misses the abuse Khate heaped on his pointy little head and has taken to abusing himself.
    Regardless, it seems pretty stupid to someone watching it unfold.

  442. on 30 Dec 2009 at 1:46 pmDunwoody Mom

    I guess I’m missing something. Is Jon forbidden from going out and having a good time when he is not daddy duty? Kate can drink all the “coffee” she wants, but Jon dare not?

  443. on 30 Dec 2009 at 2:11 pmjudy

    DM, I have mixed feelings on this. I guess it’s not “socially acceptable” for a father of 8 children who allegedly left his wife for a younger woman (this is the story in the media even though we know it’s not the truth) to go out on the town clubbing.

    I tend to be a non conformist so I don’t necessarily think it’s “wrong” for him to go to a club. However, since he is aware of the media’s perception of him and since he is such an easy target, I don’t understand why he would choose the self destruct button by going out partying. It seems logical that if you are really trying to change (which is what he had said last month), then you would lay low, focus on your family, getting a job, etc….instead of staying in the city and partying like you’re 21. It just strips him of any credibility if he’s talking about cleaning up his act but he’s seen dancing with tarts in the city.

    IDK….again, I don’t condemn a divorced father going to a club on his OFF visitation time…but Jon is not just some random guy…yk?

    Jon has the unalienable right to free time party where ever and with whomever he chooses. What he doesn’t seem to understand is that his every action is being scrutinized – the wolves in papp clothing are just waiting for circumstances like these to occur.
    Jon serves it up on a silver platter, week after week. He demonstrates NO common sense.
    He goes clubbing, refuses to comment upon leaving the club, but fails to realize that the attention whore whom he was dancing with can’t wait to give up info on him. There’s an old saying – “if you sleep with dogs, you’ll wake up with fleas.”
    He’s lived with this on-going insanity for a year now – how is it he just can’t grasp the idea of having a low profile and living under the radar?!
    He has a passive-aggressive personality – I can fully visualize him shoving the ex-soulmate up against the wall. His need to be the dominate one in a relationship is driving his behavior, and not to his betterment.
    He just needs to GROW THE FUCK UP.

    No. He’s not. But for someone who is continually being bad mouthed in the news he should keep his ass on the extreme down low until shit blows over.

    Jon was spending the holidays with his kids last week and by all appearances being a good daddy. This week he’s being ripped to shreds because his apartment was vandalized while he was gone and somehow it’s all his fault. Even when he does the right thing he’s condemned. He was laying low and look where it got him.

    ROL is reporting that both sides will be sitting down to work out a deal. So why would Hailey want to work out a deal if she was innocent of ransacking the apt AND she was a victim of domestic violence? Now I’m convinced she did it and now she’s making crap up.

    #434 Sorry HM, this isn’t one photograph. I have showed her all of the pics of Khate and Jamie and Jamie by herself. She doesn’t follow any of this.

    Who knows maybe it’s Jamie’s manly look or the way she embraces Khate? Maybe it’s the old adage “It takes one to know one” that does it. I’ll be sure to ask her for you. For me it’s just a vibe I get and I’m usually right on. Before any of this was thought of with Khate and Jamie, it was my thought from the very first moment I saw a close up pic of her. In fact, I even posted it on here somewhere.

  453. on 30 Dec 2009 at 2:54 pmLisa

    Dunwoody-It is sad that Jon is the blood red bulls eye in TLC’s smear campaign.
    But I have to agree with Tam. Going out, partying, etc.
    He should be able to do whatever he wants. But the fact is, he is the father of 8 who has, himself, said he missed out on his 20’s.
    That doesn’t mean he has to make up for it every chance he gets. He is STILL and always will be, the father of 8. And therefore, IMO, conduct himself as such.
    Nothing wrong with going to the liquor store and having people over for cocktails in the privacy of your own home.
    Of course, to do that, you have to have friends, which in Jon’s case, doesn’t seem to be the case. So, he goes out to bars to ‘mingle’.
    Kate was never home, which is just as bad as Jon being out every chance he gets. But she is home now, whether by choice or not.
    He just doesn’t seem to have a real grasp of what being a father, and therefore, an example, really means.

    What does going out to a bar, when he is not on daddy duty, have to do with “grasping” of what being a father is? People with children should never go to a bar? I guess that makes me a bad mom, then. If it were his custody time, I could see this comment, but he is on his own time and the children are in another state.

    EXACTLY! TLC wants to destroy him, and with his ex-wife’s blessing. It doesn’t matter what Jon does, they will find a way. The end result is the same. A man who is no better and probably no worse than most of us, who was abused for 10 years until he was kicked out of his home, and is now being hammered over and over again with twisted tabloid stories and people and organizations who wish nothing but the worst for him. Why is TLC not being investigated? Fear of the mighty corporation? Jon went up against them and it seems he pretty much stands alone.

  456. on 30 Dec 2009 at 3:10 pmitsaboutthekids

    I guess I’m a lousy mom too. I was married at 18 and had 2 kids by the time I was 23. We went out to bars a couple of times a month, drank alcohol and danced, while our kids had sleepovers with their grandparents. To each his own, but perhaps that’s why I can’t find fault with Jon having a night out. Everyone’s allowed to “get on with their life” except him.

  457. on 30 Dec 2009 at 3:10 pmLisa

    Dunwoody Mom-
    No no.
    I’m a mom. I go to bars.
    He SHOULD be able to do whatever when it’s not his time with the kids.
    But, nothing good has come out of his ‘doing his own thing’ when he’s off daddy duty.
    And as we have said from the beginning, these kids will forever be able to read and see what their parents were up to, via the internet.
    Jumping from girl to girl, spending time at ‘the fence’ talking to anyone who will listen (during daddy duty), aligning yourself with mega-losers like Mike Lohan and thinking Christian Audigier is going to help boost your ‘career’…………….
    I am not saying Kate is okey-dokey in what she does either. I am saying, if you are the mega butt of every joke and on everyone’s radar just waiting for a screw up, than you’d be better off laying low and letting things blow over.
    If that is even possible at this point.

And for whatever reason, he seems to gravitate to them (or they, to him). Her comments about Jon were innocuous – but just the fact that they came from her wasn’t to his advantage. As usual.

    I understand what everyone is saying about laying low and flying under the radar. In a perfect world that would be the ideal thing to do. But I also know that TLC wants to set an example of Jon and they appear to be out to tie his hands and gag his mouth. And they have the money, power and far-reaching tenacles to do so no matter how big the hole jon crawls into to stay out of sight.

    Sorry – you may interpret my statement as “unkind”, but I stand by it.
    Public personna is everything for these people who live in the eye of the media/public. How they are perceived can make or break their careers. Drew is regarded one way, and Staub, the other. One has worked her lifetime to get to the level she has obtained while the other flaunted herself on a reality show that prides itself in showing the awful way people can behave.
    If Jon had run into Drew at a club and if she had made a statement using the same words as SS, I’m fairly certain the headline wouldn’t have read “Jon Douches Again”. It took interviewing Staub to generate that.

    OR, he could be doing something constructive with his time on the down low, like
    1-Lining up the author for his tell-all book, and start banging out chapters instead of skanky famewhore wannabes.
    2-Finding some non-biased, reputable news source to out The Learning Channel.
    3-Finding a COMPETANT, NON-FAMEWHORE ATTORNEY to get his legal ducks in a row to fight the mighty motherf**kers at The Learning Channel.
    4-Getting in touch with Paul Petersen and politicians to get laws enacted to protect this kind of shit from happening to anyone else.

    And this whole argument ‘does it make me a bad parent because I go out to bars’ is pretty much moot, not to mention nonsensical unless you happen to be a tabloid target, and I don’t believe I’ve seen ANY of you on TMZ or RadarOnline ever.

    Tam, I was responding to Lisa’s suggestion above, that since Jon was a father and would always be, he should be doing the right thing by not going out but it was okay to drink at home.

    I think what I was going for with the statement he could stay in and drink was more, at least that way, attorneys couldn’t stand in court and count on their fingers and toes, the number of times he was out “boozing it up”. He could go out once a week and then booze it up to his heart’s content at home, where no one would be the wiser. I’m not Jon, but I would think every little thing he does, right or wrong, is going to be used as cannon fodder against him in court at some point.

    Of course your suggestions about what Jon could be doing right now are well-taken. I hope he is working on and making progress on some of these items. It would be interesting to know what is going on behind the scenes.
    1) I’ve thought about the book idea and as much as I would absolutely LOVE to know what’s happened, I’m not so sure it’s in the best interest of the kids to hear daddy (or mommy) revealing all there is to tell. I’m on the fence on that.
    2) Good luck with that one, Jon! A non-biased news source to take on TLC might be hard to find but wouldn’t it be lovely.
    3) I’ve said it before, Heller is a dufus who doesn’t know when to keep his mouth shut. I’m afraid Jon’s problem now is money. The powerful attorney he needs to fight TLC would cost a bundle and require a whole team of lawyers. I’m afraid Jon doesn’t have much of a chance.
    4) Contacting Paul Peterson is an excellent idea. I would hope that Paul Peterson would possibly contact him too, and maybe he has. I would also like to know what is happening with the Gloria Allred, Kevin and Jodi announcement. Weren’t we supposed to hear more on proposed legislation?

    Jon going into “hiding”, never to be seen = a win by The Learning Channel. I’m sorry, but the man has a right to a life and if he choses to go to a bar and have a few drinks, well, there is nothing wrong with that.

    OR, he could be doing something constructive with his time on the down low, like
    1-Lining up the author for his tell-all book, and start banging out chapters instead of skanky famewhore wannabes.

    Hi, Lisa. Thanks for the clarification. Of course Jon needs to watch his actions as innocent as they might be. But I also think Jon could be photographed making a stop at the grocery store to pick up milk and the tabloids (TLC) would call him a douche bag for leaving his kids at home with the nanny, or whatever. He is NEVER going to get good press no matter what he does. TLC will make sure of that.

    Confused here again. Why contact Petersen? His main concern is with protecting the rights of child actors/reality television stars. The kids are no longer on television.

  475. on 30 Dec 2009 at 6:20 pmitsaboutthekids

    re: Paul Petersen. My thinking is if there is any inside information that Jon could provide that would help the cause. Of course, TLC has a muzzle on him so that’s probably not going to happen anytime soon.

    #466 itsaboutthekids,
    I’m sorry if you felt I singled you out with my comment. That was not my intent at all. I totally agree that he could find other ways to get his drink on ie. AT HOME, as anytime he takes his ass out in public he gets caught with some shady and trouble making (for him anyway) characters. His latest escapade of being at the same place with Danielle Staub fka Beverly Merrill and her unscrupulous past -regardless of if they even talked to each other you KNOW damn well how that ‘encounter’ is going to be spun, right?
    Again, I hope that you don’t think I was slamming you specifically-or at all. :-) I’m in one of those ornery, frustrating moods and have a darn gallstone flaring up and it’s contributing to my craptastic mood today. ;-)

    I think Jon having the opportunity to lay the truth, the whole truth and nothing BUT the truth out there would be far less damaging than the last year’s worth of crap that’s been spewed and spun all over the web and boob tube, not to mention the hell of being forced to go through your parent’s breakup and divorce with cameras shoved in your faces.
    Of course, getting the masses to believe what he’s saying is the truth is probably futile, isn’t it?

    ~~
    Given Jon’s apparent total lack of sense in knowing how to handle himself, I’m beginning to believe he did (does) need someone in his life to tell him what and what not to do. He was apparently that way when Kate met him. I think he didn’t have much direction and/or responsibility growing up. If that’s the case, shame on his parents. Unfortunately, K of course was a bitch to him, but ya know what? That in turn, doesn’t/didn’t give him the ‘justification’ for doing some of the dumb ass things he’s done since early this year. I think Jon is incapable of making wise decisions and is very easily influenced by those around him.

    As for his trips to the bars or drinking at home, Jon himself said that he tries to watch his drinking, since his dad and granddad were alcoholics. I’d be willing to bet Jon is headed in that direction himself. If my guess is correct, that he is hurting for money, buying drinks in a NYC bar is sure not the way to save a few dollars. Booze is expensive. I’m sorry, I don’t mean to sound harsh, but IMO, Jon has shown himself to be a loser. As much as I waited for him to ’speak up’ to Kate when they were married and tell her where to shove it, I keep waiting for him now to exhibit just some small bit of proof, that he is ‘growing up’. I haven’t seen it so far.

  487. on 30 Dec 2009 at 11:45 pmJeanette

    Jon is in a no win situation. He’s damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t. If he would just hang out at his apartment and lay low for awhile the tabloids would have a field day with that too. The tabloids would read something like this…..”Jon Gosselin’s Secret Life.”… Jon Gosselin, depressed and suicidal, A source seen Jon’s friend at a local liquor store buying booze and dropping it off at Jon’s New York apartment.Sources said “Jon answered the door and was unshaven and in a drunken state.” We also have a reliable source telling us that “Jon spends his days secluded, drinking and basically turning into another Howard Hughes.” “Jon only sobbers up, and comes out of hiding when it’s his weekends with the children.” said a close family friend.
    Now, since he’s out and about we all know were that’s getting him. I feel bad for him, but I always feel bad for the underdog. I think he’s taking a big screwing and not getting any enjoyment from it.

  488. on 31 Dec 2009 at 12:15 amjudy

    Tam! You may already know this remedy but I swear by apple cider vinegar (not sure if I mentioned this here before or not?). At the onset of a flare up, take a teaspoon (or even tablespoon) of straight unfiltered apple cider vinegar (you can add honey to it and put it in some warm water if you’d rather…it’s easier to take that way). I know it sounds counter intuitive to take something so acidic but it helps to dissolve the stones when they are stuck in the duct :(
    I had my GB out a few years ago and I STILL get stones from time to time….supposedly they form in the bile duct. They suck but this remedy has helped ease the pain. hth :) (((hugs)))

    (also there is a website called liverdoctor.com it has awesome info on GB and liver diets that can help reduce symptoms/pain).

    #487Jeanette
    Jeanette, I think my point is, he wouldn’t be experiencing much of this ’slamming’, had he made wiser choices at the outset of all of this mess. I agree ROL is being paid by TLC (other as well), but you have to admit, Jon gave them more than ample ‘dirt’ to rag on him about. Unfortunately, he can’t go back and ‘undo’ the damage, but he could at least begin showing some maturity/discretion now.

    His apt. trashing, for instance, is most likely (should Hailey be guilty) a result of his involvement w/her in the first place. He seemed to go from one poor choice to another when he became “free” of Kate. Honestly, I’m tired of ‘hearing’ how understandable it was. I was married to the male equivalent of Kate for 23+ yrs. I was ‘tied’ down from 21 when I got married. When I finally had all I could take and not wanting my dtrs. to think this is ‘normal’, knowing full well what I’d have to ‘endure’ going thru a divorce from him, (he is quite adept at being cruel and I knew he’d make it as miserable as he could, and he did), I assure you, I did not go out and make a fool of myself. I had 3 dtrs. who needed me, not some 44 y/o mom who was hitting the bars and picking up men. I understand Jon didn’t have to work giving him more free time (idle hands = the devils workshop?), but seriously, were they both that stupid as to think a show based on their little kids would last forever??? He could have handled just about everything better than he did. Seriously, if 8 dependent kids and a divorce doesn’t shake you into reality (no pun intended), what will?

    Kate Gosselin’s Got a New Dating Show?
    Posted Thursday 31 December 08:02 AM By: Rob Shuter

    Kate Gosselin’s first stab at reality didn’t end up smelling like roses (more like a bad scented candle that you can’t re-gift), so I’m left scratching my head with word that the original TV octo-mom may be looking for love via reality television. That’s right … a Kate Gosselin reality dating show. Oh, 2010, we don’t know whether to love or hate you!
    Kate Gosselin’s Octo-Dating Show

    Oh no, say it ain’t so. Sources tell me the newly-single Kate Gosselin is in discussions to star in a new reality show — this time focusing on finding new (and hopefully snipped) love! “Love her or hate her, people are fascinated by Kate,” a TV executive tells me. “she has a lot of mouths to feed and Kate looking for love will certainly put bread on the table.”

    But before you return your TV to Best Buy, take note that the idea hasn’t been greenlighted yet. “It’s still in the development stage,” says one insider — and let’s hope it stays there. Kate, we all want you to find love, but this time around, maybe keep the cameras out of it.

    Also, may we suggest some titles? ‘Date Kate!’ or perhaps ‘Who Wants to Marry an Octo-Mom?’ … no, we’ve got it: ‘Oh,Give Me a Break!’ Yeah, that one sings!

  502. on 31 Dec 2009 at 1:06 pmDunwoody Mom

  505. on 31 Dec 2009 at 2:04 pmitsaboutthekids

    So I guess it’s going to be totally acceptable for Kate to date complete strangers in front of hundreds, if not thousands of people and get paid thousands of dollars to pimp herself out to the viewing public. And if we’re lucky, just like the cougar she will bring her eight kids in to meet and interview the prospects who are trying to win over her little pea-pickin’ heart. No pressure kids…just tell mommy which new daddy you’d like to have live with you. How preposterous. And TLC is already trying to spin it as Kate needing the money to support her kids. NO ONE needs several hundred thousand dollars a month to care for their kids. And I believe Jon is chipping in a tidy sum for their care.

    But, go ahead Kate. We know it’s not just because you like the fame. Especially when you yourself admitted that you might like to try acting. Just keep those kids off camera, make sure they have a fantastic nanny that will give them unconditional love, and try and hold your temper and be respectful of them whenever you’re home.

    It’s interesting to know these little facts about the show. As much as I know this show by heart, it was fun to watch it once again through the eyes of a 5 yr old who is seeing it for the first time. It was as delightful evening.

  510. on 31 Dec 2009 at 7:34 pmcj

    Reading Z’s article made me think. What a way to mess with the kids’ brains. A “Date Kate” show! A year ago in the summer Kate was telling the kids Mommy & Daddy would be married forever. Last fall Jon moves to the garage apartment (and maybe was sleeping in the basement long before). Last winter Jon starts living his ‘free man’ life. In June they announce a separation, then divorce is announced. Jon has girlfriends all summer. Divorce is final in December. Now with ‘Date Kate’ the kids can watch (over & over on DVD) mommy’s new friends romancing (GAG) Kate. I’m betting if this show makes it, the kids will be back, because ya know, a new friend will have to pass muster with the kids.

    … someone please tell me I’ve been asleep and just had a nightmare. what a scary image.

  511. on 31 Dec 2009 at 7:59 pmHarvest Moon

    Why is it that TLC just can’t let her go? They can’t be such morons as not to realize that she’s history, and has been for some time. She’ s nothing witout the eight offspring in tow. Wannabes like that are a dime a dozen in the entertainment industry. What is she holding over their heads, and why can’t some amateur (or even professional) sleuths find out?

  512. on 31 Dec 2009 at 8:21 pmHilo

    I honestly think TLC is trying to keep Kate happy until the lawsuit against them is finalized. Once that threat is gone, I think they will have no qualms about letting Kate go.

  513. on 31 Dec 2009 at 8:26 pmMerette

    The eight kids are no longer being filmed and the divorce is final. Since Take has primary custody, – I wonder if Take herself has mended fences with Jodi and Kevin? I wonder if they are “allowed” to see the kids? I also wonder if Take’s sister, Clairissa (who had to choose between Take and their parents) is involved in the kids’ lives? And what about Kenton and Charlene? Some rag mag reported that Take went to visit them (alone) briefly on Thanksgiving. What must these kids lives be like now? No cameras, but I am sure nothing is normal for them. And, I’d love to know how much money Take has actually socked away from the divorce settlement. Can she pay for nannies and cooks and cleaning ladies for life?

    Whatever the relationship, I’m thinking we might see Jamie hanging around more often and picking up part or all of the workload. Didn’t Kevin say Kate has always been very talented at shoving her workload off onto others, and Jamie has already agreed to babysit at different times. My guess, Jamie is the next sucker for whatever TLC won’t cover.

    Yes, she does. And she has a set of twins as well. They are all living in Adrian, MI where Jamie’s ex-husband is a big executive with Merallat (sp?) cabinets from which Take got the KONpound kitchen remodel. I think Jamie does spend a lot of time away from her own kids. Maybe her husband got primary custody. I wish someone could look into this for us. Tam??? Are you there???

    Kate Gosselin reality TV dating men from Hell – Kate Gosselin minus Jon plus 8… That means Kate is single and looking. A TV executive tells PopEater that Kate Gosselin is in talks to star in a 2010 reality dating show.

    “Love her or hate her, people are fascinated by Kate,” the exec says. “She has a lot of mouths to feed, and Kate looking for love will certainly put bread on the table.”

    Kate Gosselin & a dating show. Wow, the mind boggles. Will tv really sink so low as to broadcast public emotional castration of male contestants by Katie Irene? Did we not get our fill, watching her systematic castration of her then-spouse on John & Kate +8?

    Before you panick and set fire to your TV: the show hasn’t been greenlighted yet. So hopefully it will stay where it is.We hope you can find love Kate Gosselin, we’re sure there has to be a man out there looking for a woman with 8 small kids and the most popular Halloween haircut.

    Random thoughts-re: Jon ‘laying low’. If the world’s most famous golfer and gigolo can not be photographed since before Thanksgiving, why can’t Jon? (I know, Tiger’s got ‘people’ to ‘hide’ him.

    And a Discovery Channel ‘cast member’ gets busted for bank robbery:
    Thu Dec 31, 9:02 pm ET

    EUGENE, Ore. – Police say a man who appeared in the Discovery Channel show “Deadliest Catch” is wanted for three bank robberies in Oregon and has been arrested in Illinois.

    Police in East Peoria, Ill., say they arrested 23-year-old Joshua Tel Warner early Thursday on the Oregon bank robbery warrant after a vehicle he was riding in was pulled over for a routine traffic stop. He was being held on $30,000 bail in the Tazewell County Jail.

    Police in Eugene, Ore., say he is the same Josh Warner who appeared as a greenhorn deckhand on the king crab fishing boat Wizard in the “Deadliest Catch” earlier this year. The television reality show depicts the crab fishing industry in the treacherous Bering Sea near Alaska.

    The warrant charges Warner with one bank robbery in 2007 and two in 2009.

    It’s been, er, um, interesting.

    Let’s hope 2010 means an empty uterus for OctoMom, a good beard trim for Brad Pitt, a few less foot-in-mouths for Megan Fox and a band of wonderful lawyers for Jon Gosselin!

    Happy New Year!

    Nice to see someone else wishing Jon good counsel. Of all the attorneys in the country I can’t believe a well-respected (ie. anyone but Heller the Hack) hasn’t come to Jon’s rescue…

    ‘”Jon & Kate Plus 8″ and the couple’s divorce lawyers are finally done. Can we bury that drama? And maybe Octomom? And the Kardashians, too. Could they take the whole “reality television” genre with them? Please?’

    New year, same old bullshit. Wonder how much Mandy Sassano pocketed for this ‘exclusive’?:

    EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Hailey Glassman “Very Scared” Of Jon Gosselin, Says Pal

    A close friend of Hailey Glassman’s has confided to RadarOnline.com that Hailey Glassman is currently ‘very scared’ of her former Jon & Kate Plus 8 reality boyfriend Jon Gosselin.

    The couple’s relationship has gone wildly off the rails in recent weeks with Glassman filing a harassment complaint against Gosselin with the NYPD on December 20, 2009, after she claimed he pushed her into a wall in the Manhattan apartment that they were sharing at the time.

    The reality dad believes that Glassman trashed the apartment on December 27th damaging his property and leaving a menacing note pinned with a knife – all claims that both Glassman and her lawyer Stephanie Ovadia refute.

    Concerned pal Mandy Sassano told Radar Online.com: “The situation has gotten totally out of hand and Hailey is now very scared of Jon Gosselin – she just wants him to leave her alone.”

    “She told me that the attack story is true and that he pinned her to the wall of their apartment after he got into a jealous rage when she was photographed with [boxing promoter] Damon Feldman.

    “Hailey reported Jon to the police and she believes that he is totally trying to set her up and ruin her life now.

    “Anybody that knows Hailey will tell you that she is not capable of trashing the apartment that they used to share – it’s just not her style.

    “She told me that he never even had the Ming vase that he claims that she smashed inside the place.

    “Hailey is totally over the whole relationship and she just wants to move on with her life. Jon is the one who is acting like an idiot and can’t seem to put it behind him.

    “She’s now set-up a new apartment in New York but she’s still anxious that he will try and track her down and keep pestering her.

    “Apparently, he has a way of finding out where she is through his GPS system and that really freaks her out – it’s time for him to back-off because her friends and family are worried and upset now.”

    The former lovers met because Jon’s estranged reality wife Kate Gosselin had undergone a procedure by Glassman’s plastic surgery father Dr. Larry Glassman.

    The unlikely lovebirds were then photographed together in the South of France before professing their love on various entertainment shows and moving in together.

    But the relationship has now totally unraveled with accusations of violence, theft and criminal damage, being slung by them both.

    Mandy Sassano added: “The truth is Hailey just got swept away in the moment and she now realizes that she made a mistake ever getting involved with Jon Gosselin.

    “He has manipulated her so many times that she now knows he is somebody that she definitely cannot trust any longer.

    “She claims that she gave him an $80,000 loan to re-pay money back into his joint bank account with his wife after he pleaded with Hailey that he could not pay the money and that he feared he might lose his kids as a result.

    “I remember one occasion when we were out for a meal with Jon and Hailey and a few other people and he actually had the nerve to use one of Kate’s credit cards to pay for the four of us – that’s the type of person he is.

    “Jon appears very reserved and quiet but he can be very devious and likes to use people and the way that he has been acting recently has been totally unstable.

    “At this point Hailey wants nothing more to do with him and as a good friend I’m just really concerned that he will not leave her alone.”

    Sounds like Sassano has become the new Skanktoro when it comes to trashing Jon. Hailey, if you’re afraid of Jon get a restraining order and via your friends, STFU.

    Let’s see….yesterday it’s leaked that Kate might have a new dating show. Today we hear TLC’s hired help continuing to destroy Jon. Gotta keep this sorry ass saga in the news.

    “At this point Hailey wants nothing more to do with him and as a good friend I’m just really concerned that he will not leave her alone.”

    Sassano, how much did TLC pay you to become a good friend? Good friends don’t plaster their friend’s dirty laundry all over the internet. They just stand by them and comfort them when needed. Go away, good friend. You’re doing Hailey no favors and just lining your own pockets.

  528. on 01 Jan 2010 at 12:33 pmDunwoody Mom

    Here is a piece of news The Learning Channel. No one cares anymore about Jon and Kate Gosselin. You are wasting your money in your continued trashing of Jon – unless of course your goal is to harass him so badly he’ll drop his lawsuit?

  529. on 01 Jan 2010 at 12:48 pmitsaboutthekids

    #528
    That’s my thinking. Once this lawsuit is resolved, one way or another, TLC will stop beating up on Jon and will get rid of Kate. She’s proven to be nothing but a big fat zero when it comes to entertainment value and drawing power. And as far as Hailey, for someone who keeps SAYING she wants to put this behind her and get on with her life, she sure likes to keep her name in print or on TV. But then according to her lawyer, she’s just a baby, (perhaps, Rosemary’s baby)? I used to like her but now she’s talking out both sides of her mouth and has been sucked into the drama. She has become, “one of them”. IMHO

    Oh my, I just had so much fun on ROL tweaking the ignorant ranters commenting on Jon/Hailey and ‘Ming’ vases. Weeeee…..needed a laugh and sure found it there.

    Hailey Hailey Hailey,
    Your rich daddy and mommy must be real proud of you. Trying to get your name out there, no matter who you hurt. TLC’s Suppa Star wannabe. Your the perfect example on what NOT to do when your rich and can give your child everything they desire. Now, your a sore on your daddy’s behind that won’t heal. Spoiled little rich brat that likes the limelight a little to much. Rich daddy and mommy always there to pick up after you, and clean up your messes with money.

    I’m sure his plastic surgeon business is suffering because of you. He’s probably has a hard time looking his clients in the eyes, but who cares how daddy and mommy feel. It’s about Hailey and only Hailey, no one else matters. One of these days you’ll be in a situation that all the money your daddy has is not going to fix things and I think it’s coming sooner than later. Maybe your next photo will be a mug shot at a police station.

    (Newser) – Jon minus Kate, plus eight, means she needs a date. And apparently that’s exactly what Kate Gosselin is hoping to find next year—while the cameras roll. A TV executive tells PopEater that Gosselin is in talks to star in a 2010 reality dating show. “Love her or hate her, people are fascinated by Kate,” the exec says. “She has a lot of mouths to feed, and Kate looking for love will certainly put bread on the table.”
    ~~
    I copied the above from Preesi’s. So, if this were true, does that mean she couldn’t hack dishing food either? (in Raleigh). Why does everyone think (the media) that she is so adept at anything involving mothering. She only pretends to be a mom. It’s actually the nannies and food staff, that keep those kids going. If TLC is so insistent on keeping her twatness in the limelight, and are looking for a reality show that just might work for her, may I suggest women’s wrestling??

  534. on 01 Jan 2010 at 3:55 pmTam

    Linda,
    Maybe she can go the female boxing route with Hailey and Damon Feldman?

    I was thinking…. Every blog has been bashing TLC for being a part in the ruins of the Gosselins marriage and now, in particular Jon but no spokesman from TLC has come forward to deny any involvement. Struck me as being odd.

    I think TLC says nothing because they don’t have to. Their mouthpiece is ROL, Kate etc. You know, just how cowards would handle the situation. Use and abuse others to keep your own nose clean. That’s their motto. I’d like to run barbed wire up that nose…

  539. on 01 Jan 2010 at 5:13 pmsteph

    Anyone know how much ROL pays for exclusive statements? I’m thinking that Hailey could probably use some spending money and what better way to get some without having a job and earning it legitimately than splitting ROL’s fees with a ‘close friend’ like Sassano who gave them an exclusive?!

  540. on 01 Jan 2010 at 5:19 pmTam

    A poster’s comment from Just Jared’s story on alleged Kate dating show:
    “whatevs @ 12/31/2009 at 7:12 pm

    I heard about this from someone who is apparently in the know. They say it’s going to be called “Kate needs a date”

    I think they should call it ” c–t and her new publicity stunt” sounds more fitting.”

  541. on 01 Jan 2010 at 6:45 pmDunwoody Mom

    I don’t think ROL pays for anything. I think The Learning Channel comes up with these “excluvsive” statements and forwards them to ROL for publication.

  542. on 01 Jan 2010 at 6:59 pmLinda

    538Tam
    ” c–t and her new publicity stunt”

    BWHAHAHA! I find it interesting that from the sounds of it, TLC doesn’t have a clue as to what they are going to do with Kate, program wise. Does anyone think that? Are they just ’stringing’ her along til the lawsuit is over? She better keep a close eye on her BFF’s, TLC, they may be ‘tricking’ her!
    As it is now, TLC seems to be “throwing” some new programs up against the wall, to see which one(s) stick. There’s the obese black family, (who lives about 12-15 mi. down the road from me in Indian Trail, a suburb south of Charlotte) someone mentioned one about a man (men) w/2 or 3 wives? I think they are floundering…as in they don’t know what to do now that their little moneymakers are retired. I’m wondering if they are no longer going to engage new families w/multiples. I think they’ll let Duggars and Table for 12 run it’s course, and be done w/multiples.

    TLC seriously needs to rethink it’s name. It is a modern day freak show and while I can appreciate families wanting to bring their causes attention (ie: the Hayes and CP or the Duggars and their evangelism), I wish they would ALL boycott this channel for all the collective damage they are doing to so many children and families. It’s sick.

    I’m sure he’ll sign up straight away…

    Jon Gosselin, Hailey Glassman and their attorneys have plans to sit down and resolve their differences, but Hailey’s friend Damon Feldman has a different idea of how to settle things.

    Celebrity boxing promoter Feldman told RadarOnline.com that he’s so furious at the way Jon treated Hailey he’s challenging Gosselin to a boxing match with a $120,000 purse.

    “I have had enough of this guy – let’s see if he is man enough to step inside the ring with me,” Feldman told RadarOnline.com.

    “Hailey is a sweet kid and this idiot won’t leave her alone but he better back off right now – I’m sure people would pay to see me beat him up inside the ring.”

    Hailey told police that Jon pushed her against a wall. Jon’s reps claim Hailey trashed his apartment and stole items from it. New York police are still investigating the situation.

    Feldman is a former pro boxer and told RadarOnline.com: “I fought as a super middle weight, fighting at 170 lbs, and had a professional record of 9-0 retiring undefeated after I suffered an injury in a car accident.”

    Photographs surfaced of Feldman and Hailey kissing at a promotional boxing event shortly before Hailey claims an infuriated Jon pushed her against a wall.

    Feldman believes Hailey’s charges and told RadarOnline.com that it’s time for the ex Jon & Kate Plus 8 star to pick on someone his own size. Feldman, who now weight 210 pounds and says he works out regularly, said about Gosselin: “He couldn’t make it work with his wife, can’t get any kind of career going…what type of person is he?

    “If he is so frustrated and hard-up for cash then he should fight me that would take care of his child support
    for around a year!”

    Financier Bobby Capone, who helps Feldman put together his celebrity boxing matches around America, told RadarOnline.com that he would be interested in putting up the purse for the fight.

    He said: “I’m friends with Damon and it’s something I would invest in as I’m sure a lot of people would pay to see him take on Jon Gosselin.

    “But I’m pretty sure that Gosselin would not want to fight Damon though but it would definitely be commercially viable.”

    Dammit Feldup….you’re an idiot!! And a stupid one at that. Nothing obvious about looking for attention. You stupid jackass! GO AWAY!! and take your idiot girlfriend, Hailey with you. Wonder how they’re going to spin this to make it Jon’s fault. Now they’re going to make him out to be a coward. Hey, Feldup, you left your balls in Hailey’s purse…

  558. on 02 Jan 2010 at 10:37 amTam

    Just out of curiousity…can Jon file some kind of order that keeps Hailey and her ‘hangers on’ and ’sources’ from giving these stories to websites?
    Fwiw, I haven’t seen anybody say anything about Damon Feldman being 40. A big deal is made about the age difference between Jon & Hailey… oh yeah. Double standard.

  559. on 02 Jan 2010 at 10:38 amitsaboutthekids

    I guess *yoou’re* should be *your* but this just pisses me off!! I’m guessing TLC is also throwin’ some money into the pot. Don’t even think about it Jon. This has reached an all time low. Well, Hailey, how do you like your boyfriend now? Quite mature don’t you think? And I understand Kate Major might be getting into the ring sometime in the future. Hey, Dammit, maybe you could fight her and have a chance of winning.

    Now I have to go breath for a bit and take my BP meds…

  561. on 02 Jan 2010 at 10:54 amDunwoody Mom

    More thoughts on this “story”. Hailey and Jon broke up in October – that is confirmed by both. So, the crap about Jon being jealous of Hailey kissing another guy holds no water. But, let’s go with the lie about Jon being jealous because Hailey was kissing another guy. This story intimates that Jon and Hailey had not broken up. So, basically that makes Hailey the cheater, not Jon. Which makes the knife in the note calling Jon a cheater laughable. I’d like to meet the whacko orchestrating this whole drama.

  562. on 02 Jan 2010 at 10:57 amitsaboutthekids

    I was just reading the comments under the ROL story and was reminded that per TLC and the court ruling, Jon isn’t allowed to make public appearances or any money right now. Do you suppose TLC is trying to lure him into something that would get him thrown into jail? Nah….I think Dammit is just a money hungry famewhore like the rest of ‘em.

  563. on 02 Jan 2010 at 11:01 amitsaboutthekids

    I don’t for one minute think Feldup is defending Hailey’s honor. He’s just using it as an excuse to get some press = fame = money and one more TLC hired sucker has jumped into the ring with their pants off (pun intended…I’m cracking myself up!)

    Yes, makes you wonder, doesn’t it? For someone who keeps whining about wanting to move on with her life, I see her and her cohorts in the news a lot lately. I don’t think for a minute that she’s the innocent “baby” that her lawyer describes.

    I just pulled this off of NewsWeeks Cultural preductions for 2010.
    They must have read this prediction here – like last year?!

    “Along came the phalanx of Tiger Woods mistresses and, suddenly, nary a supermarket tabloid splashed hot-pink ink over the estranged Gosselin couple. And to them, ink is money. But no matter: stick some jumper cables into ole Jon & Kate Plus Eight, get a little reconciliation action going, maybe some crocodile tears, and we can restore harmony to the universe. Given that TLC has temporarily put a court-ordered stop to Jon’s media appearances, it can’t be long before he goes sniffing for a new coffer-padding project. This is too easy.”

    “I have had enough of this guy – let’s see if he is man enough to step inside the ring with me,” Feldman told RadarOnline.com.
    Feldman is a former pro boxer and told RadarOnline.com: “I fought as a super middle weight, fighting at 170 lbs, and had a professional record of 9-0 retiring undefeated after I suffered an injury in a car accident.”
    ~~
    Tough guy! Serious, does he really want to fight Jon? Would that make him feel like a ‘real’ man, to whoop up on a dad of 8 who I doubt has ever set foot in a boxing ring. And he is a former pro boxer? LOOSER!
    OT, is this our longest thread evah?? Certainly it has to be the longest on a thread that isn’t even one of the “current” links.

    Michael Lohan Challenges Jon Gosselin To Boxing Match

    Everybody wants a piece of Jon Gosselin….well, except his former wife Kate Gosselin, that is.

    Jon’s ex-bff Michael Lohan is challenging the former Jon & Kate Plus 8 star to a big money boxing match.

    Lohan plans to publicly lay down the gauntlet on January 6 at a press conference where he’ll announce that he’s stepping into the ring against an actor named Derek Macintosh during Celebrity Boxing 16, scheduled for January 15 in Philadelphia.

    Gosselin is also being challenged to box Damon Feldman. RadarOnline.com exclusively reported that the boxing promoter is offering Gosselin the chance at a $120,000 purse to step into the ring with him. Feldman is furious at Gosselin for the way he’s treated Hailey Glassman.

    The card will also feature two female competitors with the referee being….are you ready?….Jon Gosselin’s ex-flame Kate Major!

  570. on 02 Jan 2010 at 7:48 pmJeanette

    I hope Jon remains quiet about this. They’re trying to bully and taunt Jon into making a statement and they’ll take that and run to the tabloids. This is starting to sound like High School. You know, the bully that sends her friends around and says she’s gone to beat someones ass. Come on Blowhan,Feldman and all the skanks & hoe’s….. GROW UP! or SHUT UP! your a bunch of low life’s pure and simple.

  571. on 02 Jan 2010 at 8:10 pmitsaboutthekids

    Why am I not surprised? Jon, here’s the correct answer…no comment. It’s the one answer that will make them look like the childish asses they are. I can’t believe adults would act this way just to deliberately destroy another person. I don’t know what, IF anything, Jon did to these people but I don’t see him trying to trash them. This is insane.

  572. on 02 Jan 2010 at 8:15 pmcj

    WTF! Are these people in Junior High School? Guess this proves that some people will never grow up.

    This is a People.com article that was issued on July 23, 2009. It’s interesting to read back and see initially how the story unfolded. re: Jon and Kate Major. It sounds to me like Kate had her hands all over Jon, not the reverse. So who is the sleaze here? I especially enjoyed reading how everyone, EVERYONE comments on Jon’s love for his children. Funny how the stories change when people are paid for their opinion.

    Jon Gosselin’s Double Date with New Kate – and Jill Zarin!
    By Jeffrey Slonim and Stephen M. Silverman

    Thursday July 23, 2009 08:30 AM EDT

    Jon Gosselin and Jill Zarin

    INF; Charles Sykes/AP
    FacebookTwitterYahoo BuzzE-mail
    What does a dad of eight do when hitting the tony Hamptons? Hang out with a real housewife, of course.

    Jon Gosselin and his increasingly frequent companion, tabloid reporter Kate Major, continued their high-profile visit to the Hamptons over dinner Wednesday with their host Michael Lohan and two other couples: Real Housewives of New York City’s Jill Zarin and husband Bobby Zarin, as well as Southampton Mayor Mark Epley and his wife, Marianne.

    Despite the heavy socializing, “I miss my kids,” Gosselin told PEOPLE.

    Asked if his houseguests were enjoying each other’s company, Lohan told PEOPLE, “Absolutely, they’re getting along very well.”

    Said Major, “I love the Hamptons.”

    Pressed for details about the relationship between Gosselin and Major – who claims she is dating the estranged father of eight – Lohan said, “They’re friends and they had to get away. Kate actually went to Pennsylvania to do an interview with Jon. I guess they became friends. And then he had to get out, and she had to get out. So they ran together.”

    But Lohan, father of Lindsay Lohan, also noted that Gosselin is lonesome for his children. “He talks about them. He’s on the phone with them all the time,” said Lohan. “But unfortunately, as I well know, being a father in a divorce, it’s really hard on the kids. And you just want to be with them all the time. But sometimes our exes don’t make it that easy.”

    The Dinner Date
    Arriving at Southampton’s Red Bar at 8 p.m. and taking up a large, round table in a back corner of the quiet restaurant for the next 2½ hours, Gosselin wore his white shirttails out, while Major sported a revealingly low-cut leopard-print top. Throughout the meal, she stroked his arm and even stayed close to his side when they went outside for a smoke.

    Still, according to Jill Zarin, “He didn’t seem smitten. They weren’t all over each other. But they’re definitely dating. It came up in conversation. She had her hands on him. But she’s young. This is a girl who is going to want to have babies. Does he really want to go out with another young girl and have kids?”

    Zarin did add, “He seems like a great dad.”

    The group congregated after Lohan, Gosselin and Major ran into Jill Zarin on the street late in the day Wednesday. The mayor is an old pal of Lohan’s and also happens to be executive director of Seafield, a rehab facility in Westhampton, where Lohan has been a patient, he tells PEOPLE

    Speaking of going back to the beginning when the skanks first met Jon… Stephanie Santoro said she met Kate Gosselin at a twin convention when Mady and Cara were little. You can google it. So it IS possible that they’ve kept in touch all this time. again it goes back to all of Jon’s women knowing each other.

  577. on 02 Jan 2010 at 9:53 pmLinda

    If you go back and watch the Youtube vid of when K8 was on the View co-hosting, which I did the other day, thought I was pulling up something else. Anyway, I’m surprised Whoopi didn’t ‘pick up’ on the ’story’ Kate gave as to why she was even at the house (when the cops got called). She KEPT telling the story of her ‘motherly’ intuition, numerous times, each time Whoopi kept jumping on her about going to the house when it wasn’t her wk. We all know it wasn’t ‘motherly intuition’ but her speaking w/the girls and finding out something (not sure what) that sent her back to the house instead of to the hotel. Lying phony!

  578. on 02 Jan 2010 at 9:59 pmitsaboutthekids

    This is a paragraph out of an interview with Skanktoro – In Touch article dated 9/16/09:

    “How did you first meet Jon?

    I had met Jon and Kate a few years back at a twins convention when they had Cara and Mady [now 8]. Jon and I became friends when I was working at [Pennsylvania bar] Legends, and he came in sometimes. After they filed for divorce, he started hanging out there a lot, and we started talking more.”
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    I always found it interesting that Kate insisted on The View that she had never met the skank, one of the reasons she showed up at the fence.

    I’m surprised Mr & Mrs Glassman haven’t reined in their daughter and her accomplices yet. What a fucking embarassment she is to them.

    Tam,
    You know, hindsight is always 20/20, but I did not get a good vibe from Dr. and Mrs. Glassman from when they were on the show several years ago when Take got her free tummy tuck. Lauren Glassman’s face is so cut-and-pasted, it looks freeze-dried. She is not the brightest of bulbs either. They are takers, too. I’m sure Dr. Glassman’s practice now has a patient waiting list years long. He is an attention whore, too, in his own way. I think Hailey has been the Glassman’s little princess her entire life. She has no real ambition to do anything meaningful with her life – she just wants to be a professional celebrity – whatever the fuck that may entail. She is just like Jon in that way.

    Michael Lohan Gets Matching D-Bag/Hers Tats

    Posted Jan 3rd 2010 12:15AM by TMZ Staff

    Michael Lohan took a break from recording phone calls with his daughter and (allegedly) kicking his lady friend in the baby maker to get a tattoo on Saturday with Jon Gosselin’s ex-girlfriend. Only a few days in and 2010 has already gone to hell.

    Lindsay’s dad and Kate Major went into a tattoo parlor and got matching tats (see above) to mark their … hell, we don’t know what they were thinking.

    At least it doesn’t say WORLD’S GREATEST DAD.

    “How did you first meet Jon?

    I had met Jon and Kate a few years back at a twins convention when they had Cara and Mady
    ————————————————————–

    As a twin who attends many many conventions (in NY, Texas Mich.) I would love to know which one they met at. I have been to the big one in Twinsburg Oh. for the past 26 years. If there had been one in Penn. in the past 9 years I would have known about it and been there. Unless it was just a small party put on by the local Mother of Twins club.(POMBA)

    Now as a regular attender of such conventions I must also ask how did Skank met the G’s. Is she a twin? friend of twins? There is not much for a non-twin to do at these conventions except be the picture taking friend. and normally when you see cute little baby twins you go up say “how cute” get a pic, maybe talk for a few minutes about the babies and leave. Not keep in contact for years afterwards. Maybe if they had both been regular attenders for a few years yes, you keep in contact (I have many twin friends I keep in contact with) but a one shot deal? Nope.

    The Learning Channel has partnered with some real winners here against Jon, Michael Lohan, Kate Major and Stephanie Skantoro. Wow, what a witness list for them!!! I mean can you imagine a jury really taking the word for these idiots? It’s not wonder TLC wants to “mediate” before the trial date.

  584. on 03 Jan 2010 at 9:23 amfour

    Merette, I agree. From the get go, before the scales dropped from my eyes I got a “wtf?” vibe from the whole tummy tuck escapade. Bottom line? Mrs. Glassman was quoted as saying she saw Cate’s belly as she was flipping through the channels, didn’t even know the show, but just knew that her husband had to help. Uh huh. And the reality really is? TLC contacted them, paid for them and ran the whole show. (honest to gd, when was the last time your doctor offered his home to you so you could recover?) So, do I expect someone who is willing to LIE on camera to be appalled at the behavior of their daughter? To try to reign her in? No :)

    As for the waiting list for Dr. Glassman, I would think all someone has to do is see the bikini photos of Cate, those odd scars, that odd placement of the naval and they would go elsewhere. Though the man does get points in my book for refusing to do a breast augmentation on her at that time.

    I sure do hope Jon’s attorney, Christopher Hostage, is keeping records of all of the shit that The Learning Channel’s witness list is dumping on ROL. I wish it would go to trial. Air it all out publically. Unfortunately with Jon’s luck, it’d be a jury full of Kate worshippers and he’d be fucked. Again.

    #577 578,
    Maybe her “mother’s intuition was Stephanie calling her saying “Okay, I’ve set him up. Come over now.” you really never know. Kate claimed the kids didn’t know about her calling the cops and that they weren’t there to see and hear it all happen. It didn’t make sense to me either. She was floundering for an answer big time. She wasn’t prepared for that question.

  587. on 03 Jan 2010 at 10:40 amTam

  590. on 03 Jan 2010 at 12:39 pmTam

    Oh goody! Was dying to know why!!

    His bromance with Jon Gosselin a thing of the past, Michael Lohan started off the new year by getting matching tattoos with his very close friend and former Gosselin fling Kate Major.

    “I got a tattoo for the new year,” Lohan told RadarOnline.com exclusively. “Kate liked it so she got one too. It was not a big deal.”

    Lohan played matchmaker for Major and Gosselin way back when. He denies that he and Kate are now dating but RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal he spent the holidays with Major and her family in Chicago. He and Major also shared a hotel room when they were in NYC for their depositions in the TLC lawsuit against Gosselin.

    Now he’s challenging Gosselin to get into the ring with him for a Celebrity Boxing bout. Just for good measure, Kate will be the referee for an upcoming girl-on-girl fight.

    Even Michael’s daughter Lindsay knows to stay away from this craziness!

    Funny, I had the same vibes. Kate’s doctor letting her live in his house for a week? Don’t doubt that it happened but something must have been passed his way. Money? Publicity? If not, well Dr Glassman I could use a breast reduction. Can I stay with you?

    OT, was thinking about when I started realizing there was something ‘off’ about Kate. It was when she packed bins upon bins of allegedly organic food when they went on a trip. ICBW but I believe it was to Disneyworld. Sorry Kate but I sincerely doubt your family ate one ounce of the food you schlepped to where ever it was you went. It was just for show. IMHO.

    Nekesa Mumbi Moody
    Associated Press

    “A sampling of the wacky and tacky:
    Multiple annoyances: After watching the questionable to downright scary parenting skills of Nadya Suleman and Jon and Kate Gosselin, perhaps a one-child policy isn’t that extreme. all used the celebrity of their multiple-birth children to stay in the limelight. But karma soon will catch up-in the form of multiple
    teenagers.”

    Peg,
    The gutter.

    Maybe Hailey’s daddy will volunteer to laser off Majwhore’s tat the like the day after Blowhan releases some private phone messages of theirs.
    Don’t often go to Perez Hilton’s site, but here’s his take on Blowhan and Majwhore’s matching tattoos.

    Michael Lohan Is An Idiot
    Sometimes we’re just blown away by the intellect of the World’s Best Dad, Michael Lohan.

    Lohan has allegedly scooped up Jon Gosselin’s sloppy seconds, being spotted all over with former Gosselin groupie Kate Major – most recently in a tattoo shop…

    Where the two were inked with matching tattoos!!

    “I got a tattoo for the new year,” said Mike. “Kate liked it so she got one too. It was not a big deal.”

    Reeeeeeal smart.

    They won’t be regretting that in a week, no way!

    Just wait until you get a swift kick to the vag, Kate!

    Peg,
    A while back when I heard Kate Major speak, I figured she was from Chicago or the suburbs. Extremely nasal and twangy accent. I will do some research and find out where this WHORE is from. Better not be near me!

  599. on 03 Jan 2010 at 7:45 pmLaura

    Merette – I think it is her because she has a blogger I.D. of Baby Mama and her avatar looks like it’s one of BM’s kids.
    I don’t think Blogger would allow for duplication of user names so I think it is her.

  600. on 03 Jan 2010 at 7:51 pmLinda

    Reading four’s comment above, I got to thinking. Does anyone else wonder if it was Glassman who did K’s boob job? Reason I ask, how or why, after so long, would Jon and Hailey have ‘hooked’ up this past spring? I don’t believe they stayed THAT in touch w/the Glassmans. How did she just appear on the scene, out of nowhere all of a sudden?
    Gotta go read BM’s comments, I need a good laugh today!

  601. on 03 Jan 2010 at 8:25 pmMerette

    Peg,
    Here’s the results of my little research project on Miss Kate Major. She graduated from Allentown (PA!!) Central Catholic High School in 2001 where she was selected as “super senior” for her volunteerism. She then went on to get her B.A. from Fairfield University in CT. Her family must have been from Chicago originally and moved around and now are back there. Kate’s accent confirms that for me – it is so strong “Chicago.” Also, she was an intern with the RedEye after college. So, for sure, there is a Chicago connection.

    Dunwoody Mom,
    I would bet that The Learning Channel WOULD approve this. Why not let Jon get his ass physically kicked to go with the mental beat down they’ve been giving him for months.

  607. on 04 Jan 2010 at 10:52 amDunwoody Mom

    Last night I couldn’t sleep (dammit) so I done some digging on The Learning Channel. If this was posted before I’m sorry. Dated Aug.5,03…Class action lawsuit has been filed against The Learning Channel’s reality show”Trauma: Life in the ER,” and Jersey Shore Medical center in Neptune, New Jersey.Apparently thousands of patients filmed since 1998 claimed that the producers and hospitals engaged in fraud to obtain the patients permission to film, and were lied to when they were told that the filming would be used for doctor training, when in reality it was “Free material for a shock cable t.v. reality show.” The suit is filed against TLC reality show, Trauma:Life in the ER, and Jersey Shore Medical Center claiming that they fraudulently obtained permission to film patients. Now if TLC or The Learning Channel was up to no good in 2003. I believe their using fradulant practices with the rest of the reality shows. Maybe that was the reason for the name change to just TLC.

  610. on 04 Jan 2010 at 12:26 pmTam

    Jeanette,
    Any info on what happened with the lawsuit?

  611. on 04 Jan 2010 at 12:54 pmJeanette

    Tam,
    No, I don’t know how the lawsuit turned out. perhaps they paid everyone involved off to keep quiet. This gives Jon more credibility in what he said about their contract with TLC. TLC can go to hell! Low life bottom feeders.

    Vomitastic!! Didn’t see THIS coming (let’s hope this isn’t a profound statement someday with Michael ’sex, lies & videotape’ Blowhan), did we kids?
    WORLD EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: Michael Lohan Dating Jon Gosselin’s Ex Kate Major!
    It’s official. Michael Lohan, 49, is dating again, and his new squeeze is his former pal Jon Gosselin’s ex-flame Kate Major — who at 26 — is only three years older than Lohan’s daughter Lindsay!

    RadarOnline.com snapped the happy couple arm-in-arm and hugging at the Walt Whitman Shopping Mall in Huntington Station, New York, where the couple went ring shopping!

    In these world exclusive photos, LiLo’s dad Michael and former entertainment magazine reporter Kate even posed and joked during their low-key night-out.

    While Michael denies, publically at least, that he’s romantically involved with Kate, RadarOnline.com has learned he and Kate made two significant purchases over the weekend: a diamond ring and a new beige BMW X5.

    Said one onlooker: “Everyone was left in no doubt Michael and Kate are a couple.

    “They had dinner together at California Pizza Kitchen and he snuck a little kiss. Then they went to a couple of shops in the mall, including a jeweler, where she left with a couple of huge sparklers on her fingers.

    “However, she wasn’t sporting anything on the engagement finger – just yet!”

    And as RadarOnline.com broke last week, Michael and Kate spent the holidays together in Chicago and even shared a hotel room in NYC during their depositions in the TLC lawsuit against reality-TV dad Jon Gosselin.

    Just when you though it couldn’t get more bizarre.

    To recap: Michael has bro-mance with Jon, Michael plays matchmaker and introduces Kate to Jon, Jon splits from Kate and Michael’s there to pick up the pieces.

    And we thought Lindsay’s life was a spin out!

    Michael commented on the new romance and his whirl-wind weekend with Kate with this exclusive statement to RadarOnline.com: “Since Kate secured employment in NY we have been spending a lot of time [together]. After all we have been through together we have become very close friends. The diamond ring in question was a ring I went to get appraised for insurance purposes. The BMW X5 is a second car. As far as the tattoos are concerned, I got mine as a dedication to God, my family and a new beginning. Kate got her as a dedication to her mother.”

    Mud on TlC’s face once again. They hired these two to bring Jon down and it has backfired! HA!

    Isn’t this all getting just a tad bit incestuous at this juncture?

    I think we should start a pool and guess how long this coupling is going to last and who will be the dumper and who the dumpee. In one of KM’s tweets she said she wanted to end the drama in 2010. Yea, okay K2. I’m afraid you just stepped into it big time. You thought you regretted knowing Jon? BWHAHAHAHAH !! Real regrets are yet to come.

    Maybe they’ll fuck each over so much they’ll both kill themselves in the process.

    E-Town house settlement takes at least 30-60 days to be completed because of property inspections, financing, etc. I’ll post when it goes through.

    War Erupts over Michael Lohan White Powder video
    Where else? ROL

    Michael Lohan sure knows how to open a can of worms! On Monday, Lindsay Lohan’s dad released a controversial video allegedly showing his ex-girlfriend Erin Muller snorting cocaine, while he video taped it.

    Now, to prove the video’s authenticity, Lohan released an audio tape exclusively to RadarOnline.com, in which you can hear Muller admit, “I had a couple of bumps,” to Lohan who is accusing her of being “high.”

    EXCLUSIVE AUDIO: Erin Muller Admits “I Had A Couple Of Bumps”

    In an exclusive statement to RadarOnline.com, Muller’s attorney, Bryan Konoski, fired back saying, “Ms. Muller is not speaking directly to the press. The woman in that video could be anyone and therefore is slander and defamation. All you can see in the video is a blond haired woman. Other than Michael Lohan’s word that the woman is Erin Muller, there is no proof that it is her. It could be anyone.”

    PHOTOS: Michael Lohan & Kate Major Dating

    RadarOnline.com contacted Lohan who told us, “He [Konoski] is full of crap. I have her on tape admitting coke use.”

    It’s just the latest twist in the mud-slinging battle between Lohan and Muller, which began last month when Muller had Lohan arrested for reportedly violating a restraining order. Lohan had Muller arrested three days later claiming she kicked him in the head during an argument outside his mother’s house in New York.

    I’m thinking ML shouldn’t be allowed to use a phone or a camera. That man is scum and pure evil (and trouble too).

    Does anyone know if Jon’s punishment from TLC ends in May?

  624. on 05 Jan 2010 at 8:57 amTam

    Hopefully Blowhan will be in jail or (worse) by May. What a waste of humanity he is.

  625. on 05 Jan 2010 at 9:21 amTam

    So what will today bring? Hailey & Jon ‘mediation’ for apartment vandalism? Blowhan releasing Jon tapes? Kate making bus stop/Target/gas/Kinko’s/Starbucks/Dunkin Donuts/mani-pedi photo op?

  626. on 05 Jan 2010 at 10:37 amitsaboutthekids

    All of the above…

  627. on 05 Jan 2010 at 10:49 amJeanette

    Were’s animal control when you need them. Someone needs to get that mangie mutt Blowhan off the streets ASAP. He’s going all over the streets barking one story after another to anyone who will listen, especially ROL. He’s stinky and smelly and is flea ridden. He’s lifting up his leg and pissing all over his so called friends and family. He needs neutered too without anesthesia.That should make him a good boy.Then maybe his friends at TLC can put him on their new show, “Underdog to Wonderdog.”

  628. on 05 Jan 2010 at 10:59 amTam

    Sucks that I’m going to have to break my avoidance of The Learning Channel this Sunday at 10pm for ‘Brace For Impact: Sullenburger’. Why couldn’t this have been on another channel? Did notice that the only daily airings of Jon & Kate + 8 reruns is the coveted 6am-7am time slot.
    Oh, Showbiz Tonight had ‘Kate Gosselin denies that she is in talks for a dating show’ on their ‘ticker’ thingy.
    Jeanette-You forgot that Blowhan has rabies.

  629. on 05 Jan 2010 at 12:28 pmLisa

    And mange Tam.
    Don’t forget mange!

    Blowhan isn’t a dog. We love dogs.
    He’s just dirt.

    Wow, this thread is freaky long.

    Micheal Lohan has major issues. I don’t think Kate Major is dating him but if she is how gross!

  632. on 05 Jan 2010 at 3:58 pmLinda

    I hope all is ok w/Moon. I’m sure she’s busy getting Web Boy packed up for school and probably transporting him there. I’ll bet she’s going to miss him big time!

  633. on 05 Jan 2010 at 4:00 pmLinda

    OT – In spite of swearing I wouldn’t watch The Bachelor, I did. I was curious as to the comment that one of the women in the house was having a go w/someone else in the house. Saw a blip today on it, turns out one of the gals was getting it on w/one of the producers. He got fired, she got kicked off. Teheh

  634. on 05 Jan 2010 at 4:08 pmTam

    Wow. 4:10pm ET and no Gosselin related post on ROL yet…
    Bizarre.

  635. on 05 Jan 2010 at 4:39 pmPeg

    Tam, TLC must have forgotten to send ROL their payment.

  636. on 05 Jan 2010 at 4:43 pmTam

    Peg,
    And Blowhan musta misplaced his audio/video recorders.

  637. on 06 Jan 2010 at 12:04 amPeg

    There’s a story on HuffPo about Casey Johnson and one of her former GF’s who gave an exclusive interview “to an outlet that routinely pays its sources for stories.” The outlet named?

    “Casey was a fragile, beautiful, witty, wonderful girl who was desperately looking for love,” Jasmine, 24, told RadarOnline.com. “Did I love her? Yes. I tried so hard to save her but I couldn’t.”

    It looks like everyone involved with the Gosselin saga and even J&K themselves has been paid by ROL. Obviously Khate makes the money through her lawyers.

    Scoop: Gosselin kids going through difficult time
    Plus: Beyonce’s big payday, Tila Tequila haunted by visions of fiancée

    The Scoop
    updated 9:48 p.m. ET, Tues., Jan. 5, 2010

    Jon and Kate Gosselin’s eight children are no longer being taped by reality-show crews, but reports that they’re having a difficult time are making it into the press regardless.

    The children’s former nanny Stephanie Santoro is the source of recent news about the kids. She told Life & Style that the children are confused by the divorce and truly miss having cameras around.

    Cara, one of the couple’s 9-year-old twins, “used to sit and cry to me that she didn’t understand and thought (the divorce) was her fault,” Santoro told the magazine. “I would always tell her, ‘It’s not your fault, it’s just something that happened. Mommy and Daddy will tell you more.’ ”

    Kate did not immediately remove her wedding ring, but when she did, the kids quickly noticed, according to Santoro. “The kids immediately asked, ‘Where’s your ring?’ So she replaced it with another one,” Santoro said.

    The children are also coping with the loss of the “Jon & Kate Plus 8” crew. Filming stopped in early October when Jon posted “no trespassing” signs on the family’s property and demanded production be shut down. “Kate says the kids miss the crew,” said Santoro. “They grew up around them and loved interacting with the crew. I’m sure the kids are devastated.”

    “OK, how in the FUCK does Skankwhoro know what’s going on inside that house these days, hmmmmmmm?!?!?”

    Does it say “these days?” The fact that she used the words, “used to sit and cry” says that perhaps she’s now reiterating what happened when the couple had first split. It sounds like she’s speaking in the past tense, when she was around.
