I...I'm still watching and supporting Evan 100%. I don't think Nicole should be there at all but it seems like they have had a pop star in the past as well.<br /><br />My thoughts on the privacy are that they should either build the fence or tall hedges or I was actually thinking that Kate could have a custom built house done probably for less money and with much less land. I am not sure what property rates are in Reading but I know in other parts of PA it's not as pricey to have a building co. build from scratch. I know J & K call this the kids house but it has always seemed like a lot of upkeep and additional expense to me. Maybe Kate could turn this into a fun project and have the kids help design it too. If Jon is truly serious about having his own large place then this may not be that far fetched. My thought on doing this was maybe they could move into a private development where the paps can't come on property.<br /><br />I thought the video Schmecky posted was sad--what do the paps get out of photographing at a car wash. I did chuckle at Kate's comment though about the volcano. I too am going to make a better effort only to look at photos/videos from mainstream media.HeatherAVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16497732733272373354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-38592267449877041932010-04-27T00:06:39.260-04:002010-04-27T00:06:39.260-04:00With the way the grounds are, there is no way they...With the way the grounds are, there is no way they could build a fence high enough to obstruct vision from across the street. There are over 20 acres, they just need to extend the patio (where Kate cooked the chicken) and let the kids ride back there. The pool is very near that area and none is visible from the road. <br />Such a shame they didn't chose a home in a gated community. They really have no need for the acreage and it cannot be divided.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09262575588085528892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-59377551427993948352010-04-26T23:33:47.535-04:002010-04-26T23:33:47.535-04:00Well , I guess the big debate is up in the air, as...Well , I guess the big debate is up in the air, as to what to do about privacy. Momsby wishes there was something legally they could do to stop the paps from taking pic. Well there is, build that big ugly fence that everyone thinks is a good idea, and that's legal. Fences do provide privacy, they keep people out. It would really look like a compound then! lol! End of discussion on this topic. That's the price you pay for fame. <br /><br />I did watch DWTS and cast my votes for my favorites. Evan and Erin are on my split ticket. I have to admit though, that it was not as exciting without all the drama that Kate brings. Monday baseball is back so that will be better then DWTS.#1caregiverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07070571518943584981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-57293472426800419872010-04-26T22:01:26.797-04:002010-04-26T22:01:26.797-04:00Gymboree has been a part of my life for literally ...Gymboree has been a part of my life for literally 8 years for various reasons.

Funny that no one seems to make issue with other parently struggling with potty training on TV, more than the uproar over Jon & Kate. <br /><br />Not to rehash that, but since Im just in the beginning stages of that I enjoyed the segment, then got pissed off that Kate and her show get the brunt of it from itiot haters that obviously never went through it.

It's somewhat secluded in that you have to take the ferry to get to it. Kate made a deal with the paps then. They would agree to take shots on the ferry ride and then leave Kate & kids alone for most of their trips into Wilmington. That worked. Of couse, Wilmingtonians are so used to "celebrities" being in town for shoots because of the movie studio that they just don't get followed as much as in some locales. <br /><br />There's some griping when a street gets blocked.Linda "Original"https://www.blogger.com/profile/13379321670033802865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-14364589694910063592010-04-26T21:09:01.263-04:002010-04-26T21:09:01.263-04:00It would also seem to me that intentionally photog...It would also seem to me that intentionally photographing people without their permission on their own property, especially children, even if they are public figures, should be made illegal.

But I wonder if even if fans like us don't click on the links for the pics, I'm sure a lot of the obsessive haters out there will. But a huge reduction in viewers (like a boycott) might help a little, but not a whole lot.<br /><br />Some of the haters comments are rediculous about Kate being a fame whore because they lie about her enjoying the paps as much as the paid shows & interviews. Paid shows and interviews are part of her job! Paps are nothing more than unwanted pests invading her right to privacy. It's one thing if they take pictures of her out and about from far away when there's no kids around, but another to be in her face or following right behind her making comments and asking rude questions. <br /><br />No wonder so many of them get beat up by other celebrities. They may be just doing their job but what a sleazy low-life way to make a living!lucysmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10611079988227357679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-31062582859331135462010-04-26T20:46:34.696-04:002010-04-26T20:46:34.696-04:00momsby there isn't any chex there?

Yucky, once that nature is gone it's gone. I would invest in a HUGE fence, for the paps & the nosy neighbours. Those children deserve to be able to play wherever they choose in their home & property. The only place you can ride a bike. shoot hoops or rollerblade is on pavement. I just wish they could do something legally to put a stop to that kind of harassement against the kids.

Perhaps they could also work something out with the property owner behind them (the woods and across the creek) to prohibit paps on his/her property if a huge fence is erected. The house is turned strange on the lot so back is closer than you'd think to adjacent property. I know I was sick when they bought the house and the aerial photos and layouts were published. <br /><br />Baby Mama - lol. It's okay to watch. <br /><br />I'm not watching, but I voted for Niecy, lol. I wasn't really voting for the "dance" any way. I don't think there's too much doubt about who will win.

That reminds me of a J&K+8 that I watched recently where both J&K were talking about how hard it would be to have the kids leave home and they talked about how they would buy an RV and split up the year spending 6 weeks at each kids' house because they would miss them so much.

Set in the Cleft commented on the paps taking pictures and making money from the photos. If I was Jon or Kate, I would encourage TLC to control what is released to the media. That way I could benefit monetarily from my brand as opposed to opportunists. I think if I was kate I would lose it a few times and comment to the paps just out of pure frustration as did Jon probably when he said he fired his lawyer. I don't think TLC controls every word. I think Jon tried to break free from TLC over the year so that HE could make the money immediately as opposed to through a pay cheque from TLC. TLC put a stop to it and rightly so. If Jon followed the rules he could be selling a book or have his own show, just like Kate.fascinatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18099813452627907863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-59789848733935825422010-04-26T20:01:24.083-04:002010-04-26T20:01:24.083-04:00The fan page on facebook from her sister is asking...The fan page on facebook from her sister is asking people not to watch so that ABC can see the drop in ratings. I feel this way, the ones that normally watch probably will, the ones who just watched for Kate probably won't.

Exactly my point, Kate has ten acres of land and that's plenty of space to spread out. She is not a farmer, so she might as well develope a safe place for the kids and also company to come visit, since they don't want to be on TV. Maybe then the real Grandparents would come over. <br />If she sectioned off the back area with a big privacy fence at the back of the house then no one could be seen from the road and her front view would not be distroyed. Hell, she could even do a black top obstacle course for the kids. This is something that has to done soon before they get to old to enjoy it. the kids, I mean! <br />If she tells TLC about it they might even help pay for it. That would gaurantee them that they would have the sole rights to filming the kids at home. There, I am done.

They are so desperate in their attempt to do their job. It's almost like hunting, only these are humans trying to carry on some kind of life! (and did Kate say, "F you?")<br /><br />The paps are incredibly sick and annoying!! I hope in some form or fashion that they at some time have to endure the same torture that they inflict on others! Seriously, we should not post links to their sick hobby or their, if you can seriously call it this -- J-O-B -- and we should not watch them! It only serves the purposes of the people who benefit from taking the pics/footage, creating (and making up most of the info) articles and the editors behind the trash mags! I know, I know -- it's like rubber-necking an accident; you just can't help yourself. But, honestly, if you truly want the best for the kids, including their privacy, you will not watch or look at the pics/vids. For all the accusations of J&K using their children to pad their bank account, the sick paparazzi are doing the same thing and we are only contributing to the sickness. (Have I mentioned sick enough times?) <br /><br />I am guilty, too, so I'm not pointing fingers. But I am committing from this point forward not to support their garbage by clicking on the links or reading the online articles. I'm sure I stand alone but I personally cannot in good conscience continue. <br /><br />BabyMama, I'm sure that when the show(s) start that maybe you will not have to depend on such information in order to give your site something to talk about. But I encourage you to rely on "real" journalism and those sites/programs where J&/orK are willing participants. That is not a slam on you, though. This just really gets to my heart.Set in the Clefthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612767611881203757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-48201008994188390462010-04-26T19:49:48.269-04:002010-04-26T19:49:48.269-04:00Holliday~ I feel like I'm going to cave!
