Kate Plus 8: A Rough Ride, Jon Poses For Pics With The Kids, Breakfast With Kate Gosselin

Take that! After Kate Gosselin slams Jon's parenting, he takes the kids for a happy picnic: UKDailyMail.com

Jon Gosselin vowed on Twitter that he wouldn't stoop to Kate Gosselin's latest attacks on his parenting skills.Instead he seems to be letting happy pictures do the talking, as Gosselin, 33, took his sextuplets out with girlfriend Ellen Ross for a picnic in Reading, PA over the weekend. The kiddie campers were all smiles as they piled out their mini-van to partake in Kool-Aid Jammies and other treats.Not phoning home: Kate Gosselin said that when the kids are with Jon, they immediately call her because they want to come 'home'. It was far from the parenting picture that Kate Gosselin painted of her ex while on Live with Regis and Kelly last week.

The famous mother-of-eight, 35, seemed to start a new war of words when she lashed out at Jon, saying the kids don't enjoy being with him. 'I basically wait for the phone call from how many of them want to come home,' she told guest host Anderson Cooper and Kelly Ripa. Jon's residence, she explained 'is not (their) home; it doesn't feel like home to them.'There didn't appear to be many kids grabbing for the cell phone to call Mommy in these pictures. (BabyMama: What do we know about what Jon & Ellen are doing to keep them happy? And where is Mady & Cara???)

Jon Gosselin refused to take the bait after Kate's televised broadside.'As much as I want to respond to numerous LIES recently claimed on Regis and Kelly, I will refrain,' he steamed on Twitter immediately afterward. 'I am 'rising above' and refuse to engage in any sort of public argument that could potentially harm or upset my children.'Gosselin did draw a clear line under the happy photos. 'Had a blast this weekend with the kids,' he Tweeted on Monday. Are you getting the message, Kate? (BabyMama: Ellen then Tweeted a picture to let everyone know Collin loves Ellen... What do you think?)

Kate Gosselin -- I Need a Bodyguard in Mexico: TMZ.com

Kate Gosselin took time out from starring in reality shows to go to Cabo San Lucas with her bodyguard Steve Neild on Saturday. Meanwhile on the same day, Kate's ex-husband Jon Gosselin played daddy day care with his eight kids and girlfriend Ellen Ross in Pennsylvania.
Patricia Sheridan's Breakfast With ... Kate Gosselin: PittsburgPostGazette.com

Reality TV star, author and single mother Kate Gosselin has moved past the pain of her public divorce last year from Jon Gosselin. She and the two sets of multiples that made her famous -- the twins and sextuplets -- have begun a new season with the renamed show "Kate Plus Eight" on TLC. The Pennsylvania native has wasted no time looking for opportunities to continue to work in the public eye to support her family. Last season she appeared on "Dancing With the Stars," and she has been a co-host on "The View." She has written three books with a fourth due out next year.

Is life much different for you and the children when the cameras aren't rolling? Nope, just less bodies. Because I don't have time to do anything different, contrary to the very popular belief of the world that things are different.

It was obvious when the camera crew came back that the children were thrilled. Do you worry about their attachment to being filmed? No, they are attached to the people behind the equipment, not the equipment. We'll always stay in touch with them, so that is not a worry at all.

A lot of people who have been on reality TV complain it is edited to make them look a certain way (usually bad). Did you ever feel that way? Um, well, I can see where they are going with a story line, and I don't think that it's that I'm painted a certain way. I think, "Did I really say that? Did I really do that? Yuk!" So, I mean, I did it. I gave it to them. It happened. I'm living my life. I think it's just looking at myself and saying "That didn't come across very good" or "Oh, I was too harsh." I'm guilty. I've said it before, I am a very Type A -- hurry, hurry get it done now. A "do-it-better-kind-of-person you know? That is a Type A personality, and we're not very nice sometimes.

NEW Kate Plus 8: A Rough Ride

Mady and Cara tackle the waves by taking a surf lesson, but will Kate join in on the fun? Later the Gosselin family head out to sea for some good deep sea fishing, but will the waters cause everyone to be too sick to fish?

  1. Well I guess Jon did respond if he said he wouldn't respond to "numerous lies".

  2. I'm pretty sure that Collin drew the picture and Ellen wrote "Ellen loves Collin" on it. That doesn't look like a child's printing or the way a child would draw a heart. Was Ellen trying to mislead people? Who knows?

    ReplyDelete
  3. Jon was smart this time and finally taking cues from people perhaps like Ellen who are using the media to their advantage. She intenionally put up the pic on behalf on Jon.

    I just re-vamped the post to add a great interview with Kate. The interview is too long to post here, so please click on the article's link and read the whole thing there. It's really good.

    ReplyDelete
  4. It looks to me that Jon & Ellen are very cozy. In two more days he will have known her a whole 5 months, at least according to Ellen's interview at TMZ they met April 15th. From April to September would be 5 months. Of course on Twitter, Jon said it was almost 6 months.

    I hope Jon & Ellen are very happy and wish them well. Wonder if, since background checks were requested on all TLC employees, as should be done, if a background check was also done on Ellen? JMO but I think I'd want to know something about the person doing sleepovers with my kids. Who the heck is this Justin McGarrity person people keep sending me emails about re Ellen? For the record, I've looked up zilch on Ellen. I figure that's Jon's place, or Kate's, or somebody's but not mine.

    I can't imagine planning a long term relationship on somebody I'd only known 5
    months, but what do I know. Three more months with Ellen would make it equal to the 8 month relationship with Hailey.

    Would somebody please send Jon a pocket calendar!

    ReplyDelete
  5. I disagree: That does look like a six year old's writing on the child's drawing.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Linda - Is Ellen really sleeping over when the kids are there? I never heard or read it anywhere.

    Tiggerfan - ITA. By age 2 or 3, kids can usually draw stick people and then continue to put clothes on them as they develope. tx

    ReplyDelete
  7. Just for the record, in the interview, I didn't see or hear anything negative said about Jon. The kids wanting to come home has nothing to do with good parent / bad parent. All their stuff is at their home with Mom. I can't imagine that Jon has much stuff at his house for the kid's to do. As for the picture, seriously, who cares? The kid's are going to develop a relationship with whoever is in their Father's life. My daughter tells my adult friends she loves them all the time. Does that mean she really wants to live with them??!! Come on. If, and I underscore IF, that's Collin's drawing, who cares? He's just being a kid. Jon's a twit and his current actions just continue to prove it.

    ReplyDelete
  8. #1Caregiver - thank goodness no photos of sleepovers. I'm basing it on Jon's Tweets while kids there that are inclusive of Ellen.

    I'd say stick figure drawn by child. Writing, who knows? IMO I'm glad the kids like Ellen since she's a part of Jon's life! It would be awkward and miserable if they didn't like her.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Caregiver - you don't have to even go to Jon's page at Twitter to see his Tweets. Since he's a commercial account, it's also on Twaitter (the commercial version; just can't respond to him.) It only shows most recent ones.

    http://twaitter.com/jongosselin1/aspx

    Now you can bookmark it and click refresh and read. I have no idea if Ellen has a Twaitter account or not. Not being a smart a**, but if Jon describes now his former 8-9 month relationship with Hailey now as "brief", I.e. Inconsequential, I thought I'd wait until Ellen passed at least that time length milestone.

    ReplyDelete
  10. tashapork - Thank you! I figured nobody read my suggestion of Jon taking the kids in smaller groups that are more in keeping with the size of his apartment and his vehicle. That just seemed like an easy solution to me (one bunk bed & a trundle bed would accommodate either the boys or younger girls, not to mention the twins! Sleeping on the floor would get old fast.
    ------------
    Caregiver and a couple of others don't watch the show. We'll be sure to tell you about it! Only a few more hours!

  11. Sarah, I deleted your perceptive response to the obnoxious one.

    ReplyDelete
  12. PAR - I deleted your response when I was cleaning up. "Just" wanted "its" presence gone. Hope you understand.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Why did she need to post the picture????

    I thought they were sticking to the whole "the people in my life know the truth". Do you think Ellen got permission from Collin to post it on Twitter? When stuff is shown on the show the kids know it. JMO as always.

    ReplyDelete
  14. CMo3 - I don't know. Jon better hope this one lasts. I think she's savvy enough to make mincemeat of Jon if it ends. He might find himself thinking Hailey was the picture of graciousness by comparison.

    ReplyDelete
  15. LOL Linda. I COMPLETELY agree with that!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Surfing was done close to shore with Mady, Cara, and Kate. How great was that.


    My son and I started watching the show last year and we are so glad it is back on. We chat about parenting, relationships, children, and even meals. Great moments.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Ellen to Collin: Ok Collin tonight I think we are going to paint a picture. You will put my name on it. I will even tell you how to spell my name E-L-L-E-N. Put a little heart & make it pretty, and I will give you a big non-organic lolly pop. Ok sweetie? Now I will be right back, I have to go get my camera, but pplleeaaasee make sure you do a good job and I promise I will take a picture of it and tell everyone you made a big pretty picture.. OK?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Interesting, the shorts and shirt that Kate wore to Bald Head is the same she wore in her "trip to Mexico" with Steve. Even her shoes are the same. Now I am not saying that she can't wear the same outfit twice, but I think that the picture for the story about Mexico was not from the trip to Mexico.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Not nice of me but my kids are laughing at the deep sea fishing. Every year they want to do it and every single time it's the "bucket" brigade for us, lol.

    ReplyDelete
  20. A mother's worst nightmare. You bring extra clothes for your little kids for years, just in case they need them. Then you think your kids are old enough that they won't need to change their clothes and then wham - vomit. I would have been throwing up along with them.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Poor kids, watching them getting sick on the boat reminds me of my mom the first time we went on a boat like that!

    Funny about this page I found tonight. This IS Ellen's old boyfriend's My Space Page. Justin McGarrity has either not gotten over Ellen or can't be bothered to change his profile pic. To be fair the last post was from July 2009. But they seemed to have still been together then since she was clearly posting how much she loved him in June. She updated her page as recent as last week..

  22. fascinated - I did a hmmmm moment also because even Steve is wearing the same clothes he just wore in this episode.

    ReplyDelete
  23. They just showed Kate's hair wet, which looks similar to the photo with Steve. The media often will spin a new article and use old pictures to support it. I wonder if there is a date on this photo.

    Baby Mama too funny.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I was happy to watch the end of the show tonight. Hearing Kate talk about the sadness & anxiety of her trip last year. And then how happy and at peace she was this year, was great to hear. She wants to make this their yearly spot, so Katy Hall better save those binoculars and keep her cell phone handy! ;)

    I really love watching Quints By Surprise. And families talking about the expenses of multiples and how they are going to pay for things. Do you think this family will be attacked too for getting freebies? Probably so.

    I miss babies. I miss MY baby. "I need me some babies HI!" (Raising Arizona) I want another baby, no wait no I don't. I will have to settle with watching babies. It just reminds me again of how much I miss the old Jon & Kate Plus 8...sigh. But the Gosselin kids will always be my favs!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Still laughing at Baby Mama's Collin post, that's pretty much how I envisioned it happening.

    I haven't watched the show yet because I usually watch it with my girls and they are in bed, so I will back tomorrow night to let you know what I think. :)

    ReplyDelete
  26. Us Weekly is all over it doncha know! She is working but taking it also as a short quick vacation. And not always w/Steve as per what others are trying to spin. FYI TLC knows about the trip and has made a statement below:

    "Kate Gosselin showed off her bikini body Monday during a trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Joining her at the popular vacation spot: Bodyguard Steve Neild. Sans her eight children, the 35-year-old reality mom was spotted taking a stroll with him over the weekend.

    Asked why they were traveling to a resort together, a TLC rep told UsMagazine.com Monday afternoon, “Kate is traveling on official business.” The two have been tighter than ever lately. He accompanied her to the Emmys last month. At one after-party, a witness told Us Weekly she "mingled with guests, but spent most of her time with Steve.""

    ReplyDelete
  27. That is so ridiculously funny with US Weekly. Can you imagine what would happen without a bodyguard? IMO I hope it is a great business trip! Wow, Cabo! What is she supposed to wear on the beach? Oh, I forgot. Silly me. Kate's only allowed to wear sackcloth and ashes.

    ReplyDelete
  28. All of a sudden he is worried about engaging in something that will upset his children?? Little late for that!

    How many different girls is he going to expose these kids to??

    How come Steve's wife never goes on these trips??

    ReplyDelete
  29. Welcome Stacy. Steve is working, therefore there is no reason for his wife ot be on a business trip. The fever pitch the haters are giving this actually made TLC give a statement. They are on a business trip. I can't forget how everyone was talking about how Kate was going to a hotel w/Steve, when in fact Kate was secretly practicing for the awards. Now TLC brings her to Mexico and everyone is having a field day. There is nothing wrong with Kate taking advantage of the location and sunning herself. She is entitled and Steve is no where to be seen. She is also sitting with her phone by her side.

  30. I find it quite interesting that everyone focuses on the possibility of a relationship as opposed to focusing on the real issue of there being crazy stalker people who threatened to kill her

    ReplyDelete
  31. ITA fascinated. But according to most of the haters she brought it on herself(their twisted logic, not mine).

    ReplyDelete
  32. CM3 - I know, it is bizarre. I try to understand most people, but I can't wrap my ahead around feeling like you have the right to threaten someones life because you don't agree with them. And not even them, but a personafication you see of them through the media.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Personification. I really shouldn't read my post after I post it. The mistakes jump out immediately.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Haha I didn't even notice until you pointed it out.

    I don't understand it either. Its like the diehard soap fans who go up and slap the soap actors in the street for something their character did the week before!

    I like the show and sometimes like to speculate what Kate is thinking or what she would do, but never would I presume to know. I've never met her!

    ReplyDelete
  35. oooohhh stupid .. John! His children can not fall in love with Ellen ... John will never be happy at 100% ... he has done for his family bad things ... and get 1000 times worse for yourself! how stupid it all!

  36. Baby Mama your post on Collin picture is hilarious!!! LOL your best work yet, too funny.



    Ugh US Weekly is really desperate for attention, She wears a bikini in Mexico on the beach WHOA call the Mommy police, so stupid. lol


    I didnt get a chance to watch the show yet, first thing I will do when I get off work today.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Isn't it amazing funny that one media outlet can come up with a story (and or a then or made another time photo) and zing it out. Then it gets picked up by a bunch of others and repeated over and over. Repetition doesn't make something true or untrue. Poor Bill Cosby's death has been reported so many times that I have to stop and think, is he alive or dead? (He's alive btw.)

    Gossip doesn't make something true. Repitition doesn't make something true. Hate doesn't make something true. In media, blood, gore, & hate sell, unfortunately. Again, in media, "nice" gets saved for an occasional inside weekend spread or the weekend Sunday morning programs.

    Kate has worn a bikini at her pool, at the beach in NC, and supposedly now in Mexico. This is news? Just three years ago Kate got mocked by haters for having to wear a dowdy one-piece on the beach because she hadn't kept fit. So which is it? If she wore a potato sack it would be either too long, too short, too brown, too something.

    Steve is working folks. Or, perhaps you haters are so insecure that you follow your husbands to work to see what is happening. Get over it! Get a life! Listen to me! Baby Mama has Steve on the first and third weeks. I have dibbs on the fourth. Doesn't leave much for Kate. You have to petition for your own time!

    ReplyDelete
  38. BM I also love Quints by surprise!! I just started watching the other day. What a nice family. Have you been watching the Raising Sextuplets show? I would love to know your take on that show. I am not sure what to think this season with the arguing and moving away from their family but at the same time it is real life and I do understand some of their reasoning.

    ReplyDelete
  39. She got it at the Emmys:
    "Capella Resorts will give away trips to its ritzy Cabo San Lucas seaside hotel."

    Not sure how that qualifies as OFFICIAL business, though.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Denise - I'm so glad you have all of the inner information! Wow, that's news!

    Uh, do you know if the resort has hired Kate as a spokesperson?
    Do you know if Mexican tourism has hired her?
    Do you know if TLC has asked for a connection to this resort?
    Do you know if this is part of a new TLC production?
    Do you know for sure it was NOT work?

    Not being a smarta**, but I'm not on the payroll of TLC and I'm just too swamped with work to do the research. (If you've got the answers to the above questions, I'd sure like to know!)

    Uh, um, also, if Jon can get paid for showing up at a bar/club, what would be different for Kate to be photographed enjoying the resort? (As for me, I'd take the trip to Cabo any day over a bar in D.C. but guess I'm just snooty or choosy. JMO)

    ReplyDelete
  41. I'm still waiting for the picture of Gina at Bald Head.
    Hope Kate can get there quickly if the kids call from Jon's wanting to leave.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Picture of Gina is on your favorite website, INF daily. (And, um, I'm really sure I already told you that at least once. She's only in one photo so look closely, but you can see her very clearly. I'm not putting up a single link to INF. If you want it, go find it! And have a wonderful day :)

    ReplyDelete
  43. Well crud! We're getting spammed again by the Singapore folks and others. I'm getting the 503 bandwidth errors again just like a number of you folks. Sorry, not much we can do about it.

    If you get a reroute to the About 503 error, it is temporary. Click your backscreen arrow, and the site should reload automatically.

    Apparently Google got fed up with those from Singapore, China, and others and has blocked them. They are sending spam packets in return. Neither Baby Mama nor I have any control over Blogger/Google and what they routinely change. Other error messages we can deal with. 503 bandwidth error is beyond our control (and exceedingly frustrating too)

    ReplyDelete
  44. Kate said she waited for the call when she IS NOT traveling for work. Besides, Jon already tweeted he had them for the weekend so I'm sure they are back at their home.

    I find it disgusting that WOMEN keep making accusations about Kate & Steve when after years there has never been one inappropriate picture. IMO, the accusers must be guilty of affairs or they would not be so willing to accuse others.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Linda, you reminded me of something when you mentioned the rumors of Bill Cosby's death. I remember awhile back when my mom met up with an old coworker, (she's retired) and he told her that he heard that another coworker had died. About a motnth later, we were in Home depot and there he was. Kate could be checking out Mexico for the possiblitity of taking kids there for a show. She might not feel comfortable taking them there without scoping it out first especially if what supposedly happened in Alaska really happened, or she could be involved with a charity or something. Kate is smart enough to turn something positive into whatever she does.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Good Afternoon! Sarah Grace~ I have not seen the other Raising Sextuplets Show. Quints By Surprise follows Kate Plus 8 and it's a perfect match-up. To see this family struggling fincially, you can really get a sense of what the Gosselins wenrt through.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Rob Shuter is such Kate hater. Normally he only has nasty things to say. Funny this one wasn't that bad...:

    Bristol Palin's Secret 'Dancing' Weapon? Kate Gosselin

    "Bristol Palin might not be the best dancer in the world, but she thinks she has discovered a secret weapon that will help her win: Kate Gosselin.

    "Kate became close with the Palin family when she taped an episode of her TLC reality show with Sarah Palin," a source tells me. "Since then, Bristol and Kate have become e-mail pals and Kate is happy to give her lots of dancing advice. Kate wishes she had had a mentor to help her through the tough contest and is happy to help Bristol."

    And while some might question the wisdom of getting dancing tips from ballroom disaster Kate Gosselin, sources tell me if anyone knows how to stay in that competition much longer than talent would dictate, it's Kate.

    "Kate has told Bristol to sell the performance even if your feet are a mess," a family friend tells me. "Remember to smile and don't be afraid to beg people to vote. It's not always the worst dancer that goes home. After all, it's really a popularity contest rather than a dancing competition."

    And if all else fails, Kate has advised Bristol to use her famous mom. That's one lady who knows how to mobilize a base and get votes."

  49. Thanks Lexii That poor person on YouTube. Every time he/she gets everything uploaded again, the haters start launching a campaign to get the account pulled. He/she has alternated for several years between the two screen names (noh84kate and h84kate.) It's really sad that people launch those kinds of campaigns whether they are pro or con.

  50. Lexii/Linda~ I see that he/she has been updating for the post few days, but I still don't see any of the episodes. I also don't like the fact that the name looks like they hate Kate now. Pretending to b e a hater just to get people to leave you alone? It stinks. Brings back the whole Gosselin Garb nightmare and the attacks on her all over again. And thats when I go ballistic.

    I can only feel better now seeing my Lexii again xoxoxox ;)

    ReplyDelete
  51. Baby Mama - I think he/she is trying to upload first everything that is/was there before This person has alternated between the two screen names for some time. I have no idea why except that one name crashes—move to other name. That name crashes—move back to original name.

    As for the Gosseliin Garb nightmare, that makes me just cry. That people could trash her site simply because she showed where Kate bought outfits or ones like them was crazy.

  58. "Oh my" goodness, I "wondered" if I should research the top 10 cities for the hate obsessed, but perhaps the "it" will flit on somewhere else and spread "its" unhappiness there instead of here.

    It gives me lots of pleasure to zap. Good bye again, and do have a good night.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I think if watching the TLC episodes on youtube was good for ratings they would not be pulled off youtube.

    I think their being removed from youtube coincides with my theory regarding watching the episodes online vs watching the TLC network programming on TV. If the youtube videos benefited Kate or TLC in any way in helping their ratings or "promoting Kate Plus 8" they would still be there.

    ReplyDelete
  60. SG - I might buy that if ALL versions of TLC programs got deleted. Doesn't happen. These are preferred because of straight content without comments. This person gets flamed every time screen name is used as noh84kate..

    ReplyDelete
  61. Ya know what? Who cares if Kate and Steve are in a relationship? It's very possible that Steve and his wife are in an open relationship, where she doesn't mind him having other women. Maybe she has other men? Who the F*** cares?

    And if Kate wants to deny it, or Steve? Who the F*** cares? (all based on if they are having relations)

    To each his own. It's their business.

    Same goes for Jon. If he goes from girl to girl, that's his issue. And as long as they are good to the kids is all that matters.

    Same goes for any celebrity out there!!!

    And, there are many open relationships right in your own neighborhoods people. Close your eyes to it if you want, it's up to you. While I would never, I KNOW it's out there and more prevalent than you may think.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I've been looking for Gosselin Garbfinder what happened to her? I thought that site was so cute.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Jon certainly is basking in the haters glow of "poor Jon dissed by Kate" publicity. And Ellen is clearly calling the shots for Jon now...remember she took credit for the towels over the head idea and now this public use of Collin to show the world how happy the kids are with her and Jon. She clearly seems to be sleeping there from Jon's tweets. This gal is going to be trouble for Kate. She stuck her foot in her mouth at IW...but now feels emboldened by the support she has gotten from the hate sites. I hope Kate stays one up on her.

    INF Daily has a post up clearly stating that Steve has NEVER worn a wedding band. They researched all previous pics even before the Gosselin divorce...so the no wedding band speculation is now out the window.

    I think that in all the many months of work with Kate...if there was anything inappropriate about their relationship we would surely have a picture of it by now. You know the paps would love to catch them in a compromising pose...but it has not happened. Therefore, I will continue to believe that Kate is living clean.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Momsby~ I am devastated that due to the direct attacks made by the Kate haters, the site was forced down. For no other reason than that. The sweet girl that ran that site decided not to put it back up after people fought to have it shut down. I wish that she would ignore the simple minded that are that malicious, because there were so many people that loved that site. Maybe in the future, she or someone else would be willing to take that on again.

    Lexii~ I am excited to see that they are showing the commericals for next weeks Kate Plus 8. And it looks great. I really feel strongly about this line-up and I hope that it pulls the ratings up. Which are still high for a cable show, but people are attacking it because it wasn't the 3.5 million viewers that tuned in for the Summer opener. Also as soon as I can get the episode up I will!

    ReplyDelete
  65. And I forgot to add, I love your name and your comment FiredupforKate!

    And I agree 100% with Ellen telling Jon all her smart ideas.. After all Ellen was quick and proud to mention that the towels, that can cause the kids to hurt themselves by smacking into poles & causing them to fall and hurt themselves was in fact HER idea.

  68. It's interesting (sad) how hate works. The latest twitters on Ellen & Jon trying to find a link to a photo of Joel without his glasses in the brief glimpse from Monday's episode. Is this another big campaign to make much ado about nothing?

    Of course, to get the photo, you have to watch the show. An irony that now people will watch when they'd planned to boycott the show. IMO, this issue has zilch to do with the show, or conern for the children, and everything to do with what can we take from the show and paint into a vile photo, full of twisted logic and gnarly hatred.

    I do not want to play that game. If I did, I'd point out Ellen's twisted foot in the top photo on this page. Or Jon's shirt clearly showing his lack of lost weight. I do not feel either of those are the case. It's simply a not so flattering photo of Ellen turning to take a step and Jon just being Jon. Nothing more than that -- a not so flattering photo. It took what?- one one-hundredth of a second. With 565,600 minutes in a year x 60 for seconds, x 100 for fractions of a second ---this one photo was much less what it would take to even draw one full breath.

    Tigger - whether there is, or is not something with Steve, I choose to wait and see. I've seen not a shred of proof, photographic or personal accounts by any one willing to give their name. I do know that just a few months ago tabloids were willing to pay right at a quarter of a million dollars for the "proof" shot. I've seen not one kiss, not one embrace, not one bit of documentation. Nada. As for what's happening with my neighbors, IMO it isn't my business. Although in a small southern town where everybody seems to know everybody's business, I'd imagine it would be difficult.

  69. My first thought about that picture was why is Ellen posing? Notice Jon's head is down and she's standing straight right up there in front. Hmmmm.

  70. CMO3 - ITA. She claims to not like the pap taking pictures yet she is looking right at him and smiling!

    IMO, when she posted that picture of Collin she proved she is using the kids. BTW, she has since deleted the picture. Glad Baby Mama posted it so there is proof!

  71. Is there a problem with blogger? My comment and Linda's reply aren't here but I got them via email.

    I didn't understand the reference to a photo of Joel not wearing glasses and a possible new campaign against it.

  72. Baby Mama,

    Kate is on the cover of People and interviewed again:

  73. IMO, which I am entitled to, in the picture above Ellen is looking at the camera. You may not see her eyes but she is looking toward the pap and smiling.

    Kate looks awesome on the cover of People. Glad they continue to feature moms who work hard to keep in shape.

  74. I would be surprised if I saw Joel wearing glasses, so far his eyes have been fine as far as I know, the one who wears glassses is Aaden. It could be possible that his vision has developed and he doesn't need them, or he broke them and tehy are in or going to the shop or they are put away so they don't get broken, but Joel has never worn glasses.
    Did anyone see the show about the Carpio sextuplets? That reminds me a lot of Jon and Kate back in the Wyommissing house. I wish some of these families could get together, they have a lot in commmon.

  75. tashapork - it was a satirical comment. Those who know the G kids, know which one wears glasses. You had to have actually seen the show to know that one child who normally wears glasses, briefly appeared without them. However, that didn't stop those who boycott the show from jumping in on their comments and questions, did it?IMO, if you don't watch the show for whatever reason, you have lost any right to comment about or question things that were aired in the program. I thoroughly enjoyed Monday's episode and look forward to the show that will air in the future -- however long or short that run may be.

    Additionally, I will enjoy watching any future shows that feature Kate. I make no apologies for that at all! My choice.

    Huge busy day today and weekend. Hope all enjoy their cool fall days. It's still heat and hot here.

  76. Linda,

    I have no idea who you are referring to about "those that boycott the show" "jumping in on their comments and questions" etc. From the way you word things I can't tell if they are directed toward anyone here on this site or if you are making to references about Gosselin drama going on elsewhere at other blogs or sites.

    You mentioned a campaign about Joel not wearing glasses and references to Jon and Ellen and twitters and photos. That had nothing to do with watching the show. No, I did not watch the show but I'm pretty sure Jon and Ellen and twitter were not on it, thus my questions.

    Not sure if tashapork watched the show or not but she seemed just as confused as I was with the Joel/glasses campaign comment. I'm still lost.

  77. tashapork,
    Sorry, I did not watch the new sextuplets show.

  78. Good afternoon everyone! Schmecky the reason why you didn't see your posts was becuse I pulled a few. Not just yours. IMO Ellen wad absoultely playing up to the cameras they were right in face. I wasn't going to have it debated on the site because it was upsetting people.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Sorry Baby Mama! Ellen comments too? lol. Okay, I thought it was limited to Kate comments.

  80. HOT MAMA!! Did I just see Kate on the cover of People in a bikini. She looks amazing!! I am so proud of her and yes jealous of that smoking body. *high 5* girl u make them all jealous.

  81. I watched the entire show and never noticed any issues with anybbody's glasses, the only thing I noticed its TLC"S reusing of the vomit storyline not just with Gosselins, but Duggars, Roloffs, etc and how much Kate and the kids have grown in the past year. My point was basically that rumors aren't facts. Aaden not Joel is the glasses wearer and even with that circumstance there may be reasons he isn't wearing them. Out of Jon's own mouth on more than one occasion, I heard that he doesn't watch the show, Kind of sad that he can't share that with his kids and support them, so I don't think he would have an issue with something on the show and as a father, if he did, he could always ask tlc for the tapes.

  82. Tashapork you are so right. I'm not home at the moment but wanted to thank everyone that sent me all the I fo on Kate on the cover. I'm not home right now so I can't put up a new post until after 5. But so excited and will def. Have it up then!

    Please note..from now on Linda will be helping me moderate this site when I am not available. Posts that are starting to upset people or make anyone feel uncomfortable will just be deleted. If for any reason your comment is removed you can contact me personally for an explanation. This is to make everyone feel comfortable. We will now be immediately deleting & blocking any attacks on this site. As always, I love and appreciate everyone that posts here, and thank you for your understanding!

  83. Quick post - On the Monday's show there is a (5 sec?) portion with Aaden not wearing his glasses. (No I have no idea why. I can have opinions but I was not present and don't know why for sure.) I have one child with glasses and sometimes she takes them off (sometimes swimming, sometimes not.) During that brief section, he makes an endearing comment. (Ultra sweet, IMO. Kids can argue like crazy and turn around and make the nicest comments!)

    Instead of saying what a cute comment, some chose to jump on the fact that Kate allowed him to be without his glasses. They tweeted to Jon, got the wrong child, and I think Jon was confused by the comment. (again, IMO, cause it's for sure I have no idea what's in jon's mind.)

    Baby Mama - so sorry that I'm just slammed right now and couldn't help much right now with moderation.

    My grandmother used to say the best revenge was looking good and living well. Not much into revenge of any sort, but Wow! Kate G is looking fantastic! That cover has nothing to do with kids and everything to do with looking great!

  84. Ok I just have to say that so far, none of the pictures nor "reports" I have heard have convinced me that Kate is having an affair with Steve. If that were true though, I would be really disappointed in her, he's a married man! I gave Jon the benefit of the doubt at first and could not believe that he would have cheated on Kate, so I will give her the same.

  85. About the show, I loved when Aaden told Leah or was it Alexis (rats, can't remember), that she was cute! It was adorable.

  86. Ali - a favorite of mine too! Along with when the pirates wanted to buy Kate and the kids quickly turned him down but were quite willing to sell their brother. Soooo funny!

  87. I haven't watch the episode yet. Sounds cute so far!!!

  88. Linda, ITA with your Grandmother. Kate's looking great! Rock it Kate!

  89. Linda,

    Yes! That part was so funny, cracked me up!

    Oh and I agree with Kate, those men were freakishly convincing pirates. Yuck.

  90. tigger - It was cute all in all except for puking on the boat. My kids want to go deep sea fishing every year and we never get more than a mile or two out before the swells cause the same reaction. Doesn't stop them from wanting to go, but it's the same reaction. Just skip over that part if it gets you, lol.

  91. This thread will probably end tonight & a new post from Baby Mama.
    Just in case anybody's interested, film crews & Bald Head Island are a frequent occurrence.
    A few of the movies filmed (all or in part there) include Sleeping With the Enemy, Weekend at Bernie's, and The Butcher's Wife. (I'm not saying any were great, just that they filmed there, lol.)

  92. Regarding the Kate/Steve issue, it's amazing to me how many of the tabloid followers are unable to grasp the concept that a bodyguard actually has to be with his client to do any good. I suppose he'd be more effective protecting her via a wireless internet connection? Regardless of why she's traveling, she should be allowed to take a walk on the beach, and he can't protect her by staying back at the hotel. Of course, at least the public knows who Steve is, and if she had traveled with a different bodyguard, there'd be at least as many if not more rumors.

  93. Tashapork - I noticed its TLC"S reusing of the vomit storyline not just with Gosselins, but Duggars, Roloffs, etc

    Thank you Tashapork. I thought I was the only one who thought that the vomit storyline was a theme Monday night. I asked my husband why would TLC do that and he said “because it is funny.”
    I didn’t think it was funny at all, made me kind of sick. LOL

  94. Shirley - when traveling with the children on location there is almost always an additional bodyguard helping Steve. He is a very large African American. He is clearly viable in the 6th birthday trip shots on the airboat & Discovery Cove; he is visible in the NY shots; and visible on the beach at Bald Head Island with the younger children. In the Alaska shots, he was on one of the bus trips with the younger children and also in the airport shots coming home. He's not as photogenic as Steve so I guess he doesn't make as good a material for gossip fodder. The rumors are there, just not as heavy.
