3rd Times A Charm For The View, Botox & Why The World Cares, Jake Pavelka & Kate Gosselin?

Now Kate Gosselin sparks rumours she's turned to Botox? UKDailyMail.com
US reality TV star Kate Gosselin has sparked more rumours she has sought the help of a plastic surgeon to refresh her look. The Kate Plus Eight star was spotted looking frozen-faced as she shopped for food near her home in Pennsylvania on Wednesday. Her eyebrows appeared to have developed a much more defined arch and her forehead seemed smooth and waxy, both possible signs of Botox use. Only last week, reports surfaced that the 35-year-old mother of eight may of undergone a secret boob job early last year around the time she separated from her husband of 10 years, Jon.  Insiders claimed that Steve Neild – the star's bodyguard – drove his famous client to the doctor’s office when it allegedly took place on March 30, 2009. However Kate dismissed surgery talk earlier this year, saying: ‘Plastic surgery? Please. Who has time to even think about it, let alone do it?’

Has reality TV star Kate Gosselin had a secret boob job? But she's not completely adverse to the idea of a going under the knife. In 2007 Gosselin had a tummy tuck procedure, which was shown on her TLC reality show, Jon and Kate plus Eight. Toned physique: Kate, who competed in Dancing With The Stars earlier this year, showed off her amazing legs One thing is for sure - the once dowdy blonde has given her wardrobe a serious update this year. The star, who is still incredibly toned following her stint on Dancing With The Stars earlier this year, opted for a very racy look complete with white hot pants, a plunging top and black heels. Perhaps Kate is hoping to attract a new mate. She was overheard outside the supermarket telling onlookers, 'I am lonely. I do need help.' Gosselin told In Touch Weekly magazine back in April that she 'has no man in her life', and admitted she was worried that no one will love her again.


Kate Gosselin could be next for Jake Pavelka? FoxNews.com

"The Bachelor" star Jake Pavelka and fiance Vienna Girardi broke up this week after seven months of unwedded non-bliss. Vienna is moving on with ABC Family's "Greek" hottie Gregory Michael, and FOX411.com has learned Jake may be calling America's most famous mother of eight. Yep, we're talking about Kate Gosselin. A friend of the former couple tells FOX411.com that Jake liked Kate so much during his time on "Dancing with the Stars," she may be hearing from the hunky pilot for a date now that both of them are single. "Jake adored Kate on 'Dancing with the Stars' and spoke very highly of her to Vienna," the pal said. "It's never easy to hear your man talking about another woman. During 'DWTS,' Vienna and Jake were having some problems already and Jake would gush about Kate! He really liked her, respected her and looked up to her. Jake was always talking about Kate and the two of them had super friendly chemistry on set."

"Jake was the one man at 'DWTS' that seemed to understand Kate and he accepted her as she was," said our insider. "He liked her and was never bothered by her while all the other guys would avoid her." Kate appreciated the support from Jake, too. (Gosselin was one of the show's worst dancers and did not get along with her dance partner Tony Dovolani.) "Jake was adorable with Kate. He hugged her and chatted with her when they had down time. He would tell people what a great mom she was and how hard-working she was for her kids," said our source. "Jake loved her goals and her work ethic. He's a driven guy and they had that in common. Kate did her share of friendly flirting with Jake right back, it wasn't all Jake." Meanwhile, Vienna has already moved on, and is hoping for her own run on "Dancing with the Stars." "Vienna felt like she was trapped in a contract and they had to try to stick it out, even though the romance faded fast," our source said. "She tried to make it work, and now she would like a spot on 'DWTS.' She's moving on fast."


Kate Gosselin Set to Co-Host "The View" Again: CBSNews.com

"The reality TV mom of eight will soon join the ladies of "The View" again as a guest co-host on July 2. Gosselin will partake in a summer-themed episode while discussing topics that include tanning without the sun, summer foods, and red, white and blue outfits for Independence Day, according to ABC. This will be Gosselin's third time sitting around the table on the daytime talk show. Back in 2009, she subbed for a few days for host Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who was out on maternity leave, and appeared again this past March. Her show "Kate Plus 8" recently debuted on TLC and Gosselin will soon premiere another reality show called "Twist of Kate," which also will air on TLC this fall."

  1. Wow! There are so many things wrong with both stories. It's interesting how the botox ones fail to mention that none of the subsequent photos of her have shown any of the alleged signs. As for the Jake story, call me cynical but these Jake & Kate stories always seem to surface when Jake needs publicity. Right now he and Vienna (I'm happy to say that I didn't watch a single minute of The Bachelor]are frantically competing to be seen as the sympathetic one. Apparently, Jake is trying to cast himself as Kate's knight in shining armor. It would appear to be news to Evan and Tony to read that they didn't get along with Kate.

  2. Love your picture PeggyP, what a cool trip that must have been.

    I agree with you PeggyP, I don't think that Jake is interested in Kate. Unfortunately, any man that spends two minutes of time will be written up as a possible love interest.

    These articles will eventually get the story right because eventually Kate has to move on. LOL.

    ReplyDelete
  3. I posted the one from the UK just because I found it interesting that Kate is apparently becoming such a hot celebrity there.

    Let me also clear up that I am posting articles that are not my point of view, rather just what is out there. I really don't think that Kate has had Botox or that Jake is the love of her life..lol. But it amazes me that these are only 2 of the hundreds of articles about Kate that are on the web right now. Different variations on the same story! I love how people just see something on another site and just run with it like it's the truth!

    ReplyDelete
  4. Lol. I agree with all three of you. No botox. No Jake. Nothing happening so news invented. Ah. I got to post before leaving. Just had child wake me to ask if it was time yet to go? Sigh. They tell time, just excited. Bye.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Baby Mama-We know you well enough to know that you were just letting us know what's out there & that posting an article doesn't mean you're endorsing it. It's amazing that Kate generates such interest.

    ReplyDelete
  6. So much to comment on in one post!

    First, I don't buy the botox one bit. I don't think that's Kate's style. The "evidence" just isn't there. In any case, though, who cares? So many celebs get botox. Heck, so many normal people get it too! I can't walk into my doctor's office and not see an "Ask me about botox" poster!

    Second, about Jake... I think we need to take that article with a grain of salt- the entire second half of it spews the lies about how no one liked Kate, which we all know is false. They all loved her and have said so. That said, Jake Pavelka is such a media wh*** that I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't tell the FOX guy this himself. People can't leave Kate alone which is what Jake desperately wishes would happen to him.

    Last, I hope The View visit opens with an apology from Whoopi! I can't believe Kate is going on there again! Whoopi has been such an ignorant cow about a lot of things, but especially Kate, that I have lost all respect for her. I hope they're paying Kate a lot to put up with her!

    ReplyDelete
  7. Hey Amy glad to see you! Yes I agree 100%.
    Whoopi probably won't say anything though and they will all walk out like they are best friends again. Thats what I never liked about that show. They would have guests that they would be all kissy kissy to, and then in hot topics would rip apart the following week. I could understand why Rosie couldn't take it.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I love that top Kate is wearing!

    I'm not sure I think Kate got Botox. I don't care either. I think in some of the pics she wore eyeliner that was too harsh for her light features. I think she may have been making a face where she arched her eyebrows too.

  9. Linda,
    Awesome about your parents going to Africa and SA with the breast milk campaign. That must have been a great experience.

  10. I really hate the gossip rags. They have a lot of pages to fill so they'll say anything. I prefer facts over gossip.

  12. PeggyP, I was reading on the other thread that you have Scottish heritage. Greetings, sister! I was born in Glasgow! It's a small world after all.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Lori Anne-Small world indeed. On my grandfather's side of the family, I'm part of just the second generation of his side of the family who were born in the US. Both sides of my mother's family are from Kirkcaldy, Fife, which is to the north of Edinburgh just across the Firth of Forth from Edinburgh.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I love Kate more and more these days! She is looking so beautiful! I really don't know what to say about the botox and Jake thing...other then...until I see or hear from Kate, I am not buying any of it!!

    ReplyDelete
  15. sorry I'm late on the fresh paper! Today was my son's 13 birthday *sniff*

    I say yay to the view because she always seems so happy when she's on and boo to the rest of it. I wish Jake would just go away
    Something creepy about him. Yuck.

    ReplyDelete
  16. In response to GeeWhiz:
    You are trying to cause a controversy by accusing someone of being hypocritical, while saying you AREN'T trying to start trouble. That's quite the double standard.
    Copying and pasting someone's words from another blog isn't polite.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I don't think SG can be called a hypocrite. Her disdain for Kate is rather obvious on this site so the only difference between her posts here and elsewhere seem to be that she words things a tad more "politely" here - perhaps out of respect for other posters.

    I won't believe Kate is dating anyone until see them in paps photos together like we have with Jon and Deanna, Stephanie, Hailey, Kate 2.0, Hailey,Morgan, and Ellen.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Par - I agree totally with you. SG is not a hypocrite. Her way of interacting on this site is great for debate, and that's why Baby Mama loves her so much. LOL Love your comparison list of pictures from paps. I too will believe it when I see.

    Speaking of Jon, I wanted to be the first to report ROL has a picture up of Jons Tattoo! A great big Chinese dragon on his back and he said the kids love it.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Well, as expected, Jon pulled an attention getting stunt just before Kate begins her latest stint on the view. He got a HUGE ugly (IMHO) dragon tattoo on his back. http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2010/06/exclusive-photos-jon-gosselin-gets-huge-tattoo-says-it-represents-his-rebirth?page=3

    He also, in addition to the new spiritual advisor, has a new agent. As for the tattoo, Jon is quoted as saying, "Jon tells RadarOnline.com about his new tattoo, “This was the perfect timing for me.”

  21. Thank you Robin, PAR and #1caregiver! I do try to be respectful of others' feelings here. I appreciate your saying so.

    As for what I wrote in that comment I would have written that here too once we started discussing The View. I would like to hear how she would argue the points made in the various articles about children on reality tv, more so than discussing sunless tanning. Unfortunately I don't think it will be brought up.

    As for Jon's tattoo, I think it's too big and not a very nice looking one. At least he didn't get a big Winnie the Pooh on his back. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  22. ". . .At least he didn't get a big Winnie the Pooh on his back."

    SchmeckyGirl-If that's a crack about Kate's tattoo, please remember that she got it before she had kids, it's tiny (on her ankle), and she has repeatedly said she regrets getting it and, if her kids ask about it, will use it as an example of how a bad decision can stick with you.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Gee Whiz, of course you were trying to cause trouble! Any regular reader here knows how Schecky feels about Kate. There are several of us who are not Kate fans but care about the children. Momma allows us to post if we maintain politeness.

    ReplyDelete
  24. PeggyP,
    That was kind of my point. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  25. PeggyP: A couple of my parents’ best friends are from Kirkcaldy. I’ve driven through on my way to Edinburgh. It’s nice to meet you!

    Regarding Jon’s tattoo: Yuk. He’s been working overtime this past year to recapture his lost youth.

    Regarding Jake: Double Yuk.

    I’m looking forward to seeing how Kate and the ladies get along on the View !

    Have a great day everyone :)

  28. "A great big Chinese dragon"

    that is extremely ignorant..if you read the story he said its a Korean dragon..

    not every Asian person is Chinese and not every dragon is Chinese..ugh

  29. Good afternoon everyone! Glad to see we are having (or attempting to have lol) a nice debate here. Assuming that the Gosselin kids are enjoying their beautiful pool today b/c it's mad hot! Since we are blessed to have friends that belong to a county club, I had to pack up the kids and take a long drive out east today. Posting from my phone so who knows how these words will come out. Call me a dedicated Blogger!

    ReplyDelete
  30. I just knew that Jon would need to show his face if Kate was going on the View. I really see nothing wrong with tattoes, but where are all the people who were bitterly complaining about Kate spending money on hair implants or breast lifts that she could be spending on her kids. I just wish Jon would be honest and say he got the tattoo because he wanted it and not give this blown out tale of new beginning. I am glad he has a life coach, I just hope it is one that is looking out for his interests and not their own. The fact that their mouth isn't in the media running a mile a minute tells me maybe this person is good. I also think it's something that not one word has been mentioned about the Hellers. I wonder what went down there. I know it isn't my business, just curious. I hope Kate enjoys herself on the View, maybe she's there to announce the date to the premier of Twist of Kate

    ReplyDelete
  31. Botox, Kate?!.. Nah.. I just don't see it. Show me the evidence then I'll believe it. Otherwise, seems like a bunch of nothing to me.

    Now, I've got a few tattoos and I love them. I don't get them on a whim and they certainly mean something to me, so I know I won't regret them. As for Jon, well I just hope he got it because it really meant something to him and not 'coz it made him feel young and cool.

    Oh and here's the actual translation for this:

  34. Schmecky thanks so much fir the link..will take a good look at it when I get home. And I love the turquoise top too. A much better look for her than the boot heels ;)

    ReplyDelete
  35. In thinking about Kate's excitement over the pantry, I thought of a cool business opportunity for her. She could get with Container Store or some other homegoods store to develop a line of organizers for moms including furniture, laundry tools, note keeping systems, car organizers, etc.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I like that idea tashapork! I would buy it. She's the organizer queen!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Raelin,
    Are you sure about that translation? I thought mine was pretty spot on. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  38. GeeWhiz~ I'm sorry I had to delete your post. I do not in any way allow copied posts from other sites. The haters thrive on that. That's how they go back and forth hurting each other. That is never allowed here, though I appreciate your support. I don't normally see you post on this blog, but feel free to post again if you like.

    Schmecky~ What happened you your photo? I always loved seeing your face lol. I know where you stand..it's all good. ;)

    OMG I sm still freaking out that Jon's complete immaturity got the best of him and he distroyed himself. What an idiot. Sorry, this is IMO. But Kate did complain for years how tatoos are nothing but mistakes she made on her body. Jon goes and ruin's his entire back that again IMO looks horrible. I'm once again so disapointed in him! Every week he does something so completely stupid I want to spit nails and thank Kate for divorcing him. It's so sad. I guess I look at it like if I was Kate what would I do. I guess she had the best intentions when it came to their relationship.

    FYI: It's so ugly, you may want to see it yourself if you haven't already..

  39. I wonder which day they are pre-taping the view. Friday is always pre-taped. (or so i'm told)

    Is she in NY yet??

    ReplyDelete
  40. Tashapork-No such luck with the life coach. Her organization's compound is where Jon took Ellen & his kids on Father's Day. The coach gave a gushing interview to one of the tabloids & photos appeared of the visit even though the property is 450 acres and otherwise closed during their visit.

    I think the organizer idea is terrific. She could also have a deal with Post-Its which she dearly loves.

    The new pictures are great. What are the Khaterz going to complain about? The 6 are in a variety of outfits, Kate is wearing flip-flops with a bit of a wedge, she's holding Joel's hand in a photo, and Kate's top shoes minimal cleavage. Of course she is wearing WHITE SHORTS (theatrical laugh).

    ReplyDelete
  41. Tattoo is ugly and a waste of money. I have nothing against tattoos but across your whole back? What about your shoulder? I get the reason behind the tattoo, but come on.

    Baby Mama check your mentions on twitter..I sent you a message on there.

    ReplyDelete
  42. PeggyP~ Didn't see you already posted the link for Jon's hideous tattoo. Thanks!

    I agree with you about the organizer idea! Would love to do that myself lol.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I have heard Jon say that he wants to move forward, that he understands his mistakes, and that he is trying to change his life. Although, he keeps saying these words, I see no action behind them. Some one can say that they made mistakes but if they truly can't name them and don't do anything to change their behaviour to demonstrate that they don't want to make those mistakes again, to me it is just lip service.

    I would be interested to hear from others if they see Jon as really moving forward. I am not bringing this up to provide a forum to bash Jon, I am looking to explore how others see him as changing. I just can't see it.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Fascinated-I think on this one Jon's actions will speak louder than his words. He's made these claims about changing his behavior and it's usually been followed by something outrageous. I don't think Jon shows any signs of acknowledging that he started out with a lot of sympathy and support when the marriage ended and that he and he alone is responsible, by his poor choices, for not only frittering all of that away but creating increasing understanding of some of Kate's reactions to him during the marriage.

    His kids clearly love him and need him to be a father, not a "fun uncle". I hope, for the kids' sake, that, at some point, as Kate once said she hoped, the old Jon reappears.

    ReplyDelete
  45. http://tv.yahoo.com/blog/jon-gosselins-rebirth-via-new-tattoo--1349

    There is a mysterious ninth name listed under "4-8-10" on the scroll. According to several Korean translators, it reads "Erin." Since the letters "L" and "R" are similiar in Korean, some have interpreted the ninth name to represent Jon's recent girlfriend, 23-year-old Ellen Ross.

    Just part of the yahoo article.....hope thats okay.

    Really Jon, it's not like you have the best track record with women.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Is it possible, Erin is the name they would have chosen for the 7th baby (spot on original sonogram)?

    ReplyDelete
  47. tiggerfan, that would be very touching and thoughtful...but... the date is 4-8-10 and then the name.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Jon saying that he has been planning this tattoo for years now and saying that the tatoo represents a rebirth is a bit contradictory. I think he has either been planning a big tattoo for years or has been planning a dragan and calls it a symbol of rebirth. It doesn't make sense that this "new Jon" invisioned a dragon as a symbol for moving forward.

    I haven't seen anything that says it represents a rebirth other than Jon saying it does.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Tiggerfan1965-I checked in Kate's newest book, and the possible names she mentions are Ella Rose & Emma Rose? (while that embryo stopped developing before gender could be determined, Kate says they believe it was a girl). While it would be lovely & touching if he acknowlededge the one who didn't make it (and, perhaps, allowed her siblings to survive & survive well without the selective reduction their parents rejected), I hate to say it but I'd bet that 4-8-10 is the date that he and Ellen met.

    To me, it's rather silly to include her at this point. If it lasts, he could always add her later.

    ReplyDelete
  50. It seems like Jon left a whole scroll blank under Elin's name. I wonder if they are planning on having children.

    As for what they can complain about in the pictures from the ice cream run over the weekend, the haters are claiming the kids look miserable. The are also making fun of a picture of Hannah that is not flattering.

    ReplyDelete
  51. PAR=Of course it never seems to occur to the khaterz that the kids don't like the paps and that may be why they aren't smiling. I read about the snarking about Hannah (aka, according to the khaterz, the "golden child") on the Princess board. Aside from the fact that the child just has her hand on her face, even if she was picking her nose, so what? What kind of warped mentality mocks a 6 year old child (yeah, sure, some "child advocates")? They go after Mady because they think she's a mini-Kate & they target Hannah because they believe she's Kate's favorite (Kate, from the beginning, said that Hannah was a mommy's girl who hated beinga apart from her. In addition, by circumstances beyond anyone's control, Hannah was the first of the babies to progress to the point that Kate could hold her).

    Well, if Ellen has plans for children with Jon, she'd better realize that he'll always already have 8 claims on whatever income he scapes together.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Ellen confirmed on twitter that it is her name on the tatoo.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Good morning everyone! I saw Peggy chatting about the Princess Boards. The ones it used to take a lock of hair from a unicorn to get into..Well go figure I got approval to get in and never went on the site again.

    Really, I just wanted to laugh at all the fun they made of GWOP it was great. They just pick apart everything they say over there. But then I got over it. The situation with Collin covering his face is very normal. The flashing lights and the people hovering must be annoying. But to latch it to the haterz and their quest for kids off TV ain't gonna fly. Good try for them though.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Opps and I forgot to add that if Jon was stupid enough to put Ellen name on his body, the girl he has only known for a few months, then that is just horrific and sad. I'm thinking about Johnny Depp having to change his tattoo of Winona Ryder to Wyno.

    ReplyDelete
  55. OMG! Princess Board...I thought it was just me who they gave a hard time to.

    Hurry home Linda, I can't wait to hear your take on this.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I was upset when I saw that pic of Hannah. It's not a big deal but I knew someone would make it into one. I don't know why they had to publish it and even zoom in on her.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I can't believe Jon put Ellen's name on his tattoo. Did anyone notice that he had the same info put on the motorcycle that TLC wouldn't let him keep? I guess he figures TLC can't take his skin away from him.

    That's like a paradox. While yes, it would be "normal" for Colin to react that way to annoying flashing lights and people hovering, the flashing lights and people hovering are not normal. I think it's sad. I really feel for Colin, he obviously doesn't like it.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I just looked at Jon's tattoo again. At least he put Ellen's name on a separate scroll. But he did leave a lot of room under it. I guess he plans to just cross her out and list the next girl under her...

  61. Anyone find out where that turquoise top is from?

  62. Schmecky, LOL on the cross out. I needed a laugh today.

  63. Hi all. I'm visiting family/friends in NJ and PA and trying to get caught up on Kate news too.

    BabyMama - LOVE the new site. Very impressive.

    I hope Kate does not use Botox. Saw a friend recently who looked like she had frozen herself. She looked ridiculous. Kate is too young and attractive to start messing up a good thing. Not that I am against self-improvement...Just not that frozen look that so many seem to feel is necessary.

    Hope all is well with the "fans". It's as hot in the Northeast as it is in Florida!

  64. Holli Day & Dee miss ya!!

    Schmecky, Linda is texting me regarding your post. She wanted to respond to it but shes away and can't post. I wanted to copy and paste this if you don't mind. I tried to do it from my phone but didn't work...

    Linda said...

    SchmeckyGirl ahh but cameras flashing and photos can be normal for big families! You folds with 2 kids don't understand! We are not celebrities. Yet I've had oriental tourists by the busload following my family all over New York, Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, in Miami, Chicago, and LA...

    Their fascination "Big Family...many kids" albeit Gosselins are that times 100 but it annoyed the heck out of my kids. At least they are getting paid by TLC. Kate even discussed this in her first book.

    ReplyDelete
  65. For forgot to add with all the old regulars that have visited us recently welcome back! So glad you like the new look and I hope you all stick arond a while!

    Shoot ok, this isn't working, I cut up Linda's post and what she wanted to say.. here is the rest..Linda so sorry I chopped up your thought! lol

    I mean "Orginal Linda" said..

    It just isn't the same for big families and even total non-celebrity big families!

  66. Dee-The princess board's rejected me twice [SOB!]. I keep telling myself that they have to be vigilant to keep out trolls so I console myself with read only.

    Schmecky Girl-I'm appalled, too. I think if someone who mocks one of the kids on one of the nasty sites is not immediately kicked off or severely reprimanded those sites should stop pretending that they have the children's interests in mind at all. These are CHILDREN! Whatever anyone thinks of either or both of their parents, the kids should be off limits.

  67. When I was a little girl I was afraid of the dark. I imagined monsters in my room and would close my eyes to feel safe and make them "disappear". It made me feel like I had control of the situation. That was the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture of Collin closing his eyes. Kind of "out of sight, out of mind". I love Collin! He is my favorite and it makes me sad to think he's under stress- whatever the reason.

  68. angelsmama-Collin's a sweet kid. I loved when he happily told one of the crew during their reunion that he was glad they were back (Collin also informed the crew, that the basement was also back to normal since the dance floor was gone "because Mommy got eliminated") and that he was also glad that the paparazzi were gone.

    People who claim to read so much into the kids not smiling in the ice cream stand pictures are, I'm sure, busily rationalizing away how thrilled the kids were to see the crew back (and vice versa) and how relaxed and comfortable the kids are with the crew.

  69. What are the Princess Boards??

    ReplyDelete
  70. My2Girls~ I hope someone can describe this because I am terrible at it. But the princess boards is a site that is dedicated to snarking and picking apart everything on GWOP. They are the best thing that has ever happened to pro-Kate sites, because they really stick it to GWOP and the people that make some really horrible comments on there. Everyone can read it, but they will only allow certain people to post. You kinda need an in, so that they can trust you. It's ruled with a wonderful iron fist. Enjoy the amazing Anti-GWOP boards...

  71. Baby Mama-I understand why they're so tough which is why, while I was disappointed, I wasn't offended at getting turned down. I'm sure that they've gotten tougher as time goes on in order to avoid troll invasions. Also, they're too much fun to read to give them up just because I didn't get admitted to posting privileges.

  72. Crafty Mom of 3 - thanks for the congrats. No need to apologize about being late. Everyone busy now that summer is here, even me! Enjoy your 4th of July.

    SG - I can't catch up or keep up here.

  73. debbie - i just caught your post above and yes I did read the article but I guess I was in to much of a hurry when posting it here. That is my mistake, but yours is using such a harsh response (extremely ignorant)in a place where that was not necessary.
    Now, that being said, if I offended any Asian people out there, I am truly sorry because it wasn't meant to.

    Also, I apologize to all Dragons out there!

  74. Schmecky Girl, did Jon have to return his bike from TLC?

    ReplyDelete
  75. BabyMama, thanks for the link to the Princess Board. I will give it a try. Gosh I hate GWOP (and I don't like Kate very much, so go figure???)

    ReplyDelete
  76. #1caregiver~ I don't know who that was that posted. But I'm usually giving the side eye to anyone that comes on this site for the first time attacking people. So far this person has not posted again, and if she does I will make sure that it doesn't happen again. I'm very sorry about that. The comment was nasty and out of line. I must have skimmed past it.....

    You are a regular here and I appreciate all of your comments! :) FYI: THAT TATTOO SUCKS!

  78. fascinated,

    Yes, TLC told Jon he couldn't have the bike back because he wouldn't "behave".

    Here is what he said on Larry King:
    J. GOSSELIN: The only part is the motorcycle. It was promised to me and they didn't give it to me. They said based on my good behavior -- based on my good behavior, I might get the motorcycle by the end of season five. I don't even care about the motorcycle. Keep it. Keep it, sell it, donate it to charity, whatever you want to do.

    ReplyDelete
  79. SchmeckyGirl-That's one thing that people tend to forget: TLC putting a morals clause for Jon in his contract. I don't think we'll ever know all of what TLC was hearing that concerned them, but they clearly no longer trusted Jon to conduct himself in a responsible manner.As I recall, Kate donated hers to charity quite a while ago.

    I love Jon claiming that he doesn't care about the motorcycle. If he didn't, why even bring it up?

    ReplyDelete
  80. PeggyP,

    I think Larry King read a quote to him and asked him if it was true and he said something like "Everything except about the motorcycle". Something like that.

  81. Dear Jon,

    We all thought it was SOOO inconsiderate of you to not have ALL of your girlfriends on your back. I mean, didn't you say he was going to take it slow with this one? This rebirth of yours is looking like a joke.

    Like how many girlfriends a man can get in a year after being married for almost 10? It pisses us off just thinking about it. You permanently ink your kids and not any of us?? The ones you say you loved?? We are demanding that you butcher the rest of your body with our names as well! It's only fair!

    Sincerely,
    Deanna Hummel...memba me? I returned that hideous Cole Haan Bag for credit

    Hailey Glassman...I was framed and you still owe me $200,000! Sleep wiith one eye open!

    Kate Major..We had a relationship I swear! I quit my job for you and now I'm stuck with Michael Lohan..the man wears his pants too tight and his cell phone on a clip!

    Stephanie Santoro..All I got was some disease from that night in the hot tub, AND $10,000 from interviews which my mom already drank!

    Morgan Christie..You left rotten food in my parents fridge, and that swag from Sundance was NOT enough! The earrings weren't even real!

  82. The Princess Boards comments are really good. I realized how rediculous some of those GWOP comments were, but to see them picked apart - hillarious. LMHO!

    ReplyDelete
  83. Holy smoke! What was more disturbing was that I got on line at 1:45am! The baby's daiper was wet and she woke up screaming. The potty training is a nightmare that won't end..

    Funny thing was.. last night I was thinking that Jon intentionally picked a designer that Kate loved, to buy a bag for the woman he was sleeping with..haha Kate would have picked out a much nicer bag IMO. Next time he should ask her for advice when choosing his gifts..lol

    ReplyDelete
  84. LoriAnne~ I'm sure they are going to love and appreciate the hits to the site lol. But The Princess Boards should be any Kate fans required reading. But everyone should also know that they ONLY discuss and attack GWOP. They are very strict in their rules that they stay on topic and do not discuss any other site. I LOVE their focus! For none other than they truly show how rediculous some of the comments on that site are!

    ReplyDelete
  85. I don't need the Princess Boards...this site is all I need! I will never leave :)

  86. US Magazine has just hit a hysterically funny low. The headline is "Does Kate Gosellin Have Airbrushed Abs" with a picture of Kate jogging wearing, as many women do, a sports bra & running tights & displaying the aforementioned abs (along with a gratuitous claim that she loves tanning so much that she spent the 6s 5th birthday/Mother's Day at the tanning salon; if she did, and I don't know if she did, it would have hardly taken all day & conceivably could have been a Mother's Day present). What makes it funny is that the "experts" quoted in the article DON'T think she has had specialty spray tanning to define her abs (although they said that a tan will make good abs more visible) and attribute her spectacularly good middle to very hard work.

    ReplyDelete
  87. LOL Baby Mama! What Cole Haan bag was it?

    ReplyDelete
  88. Totally OT for Linda,

    http://www.ringlingbeatsanimals.com/default.asp

    The videos are really disturbing as are the pics of the baby elephants. I can't see Ringling Bros being able to justify any of this.

    I'm still interested in the report your son did!

    Hope you are having a nice relaxing vacation...

    ReplyDelete
  89. SchmeckyGirl~ Funny story. A year ago (April 2009)I did a post on my old blog that spoke about Kate's fav. shoes at the moment..The Cole Haan 'Air Genevieve' Wedge Sandal. The haters had nothing to do that day, so there was an uproar in blogland about how much the shoe cost and how ugly they thought it was. I happened to love it and if you go to the shoe post below you could actually see Kate wearing them to a book signing a few days earlier..

    http://theanti-gosselinswithoutpity.blogspot.com/2009/04/season-4-at-amazoncom-masche-sextuplets.html

    Jon subsequently went less than 3 weeks later and bought the matching bag which I can only assume he was going to give to Kate, but gave to Deanna instead. The bag link is below first, followed by the article about the bag.. ESCALANDO! LOL Which right now is on clearance...So the shoes were hot, the bag was not!

  90. A nasty troll by the name of Bohemian Moon took the photo of Kate with the shoes on to make fun of her on her blog. The person that took the photo is a friend of mine so needless to say it started the biggest fued between me and Moon since Man vs. Food on the Travel Channel lol. I went Wolverine on her ass about stealing the photo from my site. Hense how that blog war started. Luckily her site and the remains there of scattered into the murky waters of the ocean and where 1 witch shriveled & a few more popped up in it's place...

    THE END

  92. #1caregiver~ ahh the good ol days...There are just too many fish in the pond now to create that old "sharks vs. jets" kinda feeling. Thinking about it now it just makes me laugh.

    ReplyDelete
  93. Baby Mama-Thanks for the links. IMHO, the shoes & the outfit Kate wore with them are very nice. The handbag, OTOH, is ugly. Deanna should put a sign on it, "I had an affair with Jon Gosselin and all I got from it was this ugly handbag."

    ReplyDelete
  94. PeggyP~ That's so funny! It just goes to show you how Jon wanted to give his girlfriends whatever Kate was getting, perhaps once again trying to shove it in Kates face so to speak.

    I look back at my old blog in simpler times and it just makes me sigh.. I really was just doing it for myself and for fun, and things got so heated in the blogging world after that I kinda just went for blood. But overall I do like my progression and very proud of all I have done...I can see why so many sites want to copy me! lol ;)

    ReplyDelete
  95. I was a lurker back then. It wasn't until you moved to this site that I got the nerve to comment. I googled Jon and Kate blogs one day and found yours and Semblance and the rest is history! :)

    Also wanted to pop on and tell y'all before I go to bed that any followers of this blog should head over to mine right now because until July 9th I am running a Klutz Book giveaway and followers of this blog get two extra entries besides whatever other entries you get. It's a really cute book and if your kids like these new rubber band bracelets that are all the rage they'll love these! (good gift too) I wanted to spread the love to Baby Mama and all the rest of my friends here! Good luck! The comment link is under the title on the post.

    Thanks Baby Mama for letting me post this. :)

  96. Hello everyone, I know I am new here and I don't blog that much but I thought I would say that I am going on holidays so I won't be around. I didn't want Baby Mama to worry in case she thought she lost me to another site. Have a great summer.

  97. fascinated! I'm so sad I am loosing such a great person and poster! Please do not forget about us, I am so jealous of your vacation. Come back soon I will be here :( ENJOY!

  99. Baby Mama...LOL at your letter to Jon, it was my giggle of the day. I was up with my baby at the first time, at 2:00 a.m. maybe something was in the air;0 Maybe next time I'll see if your up posting, misery loves company;0

    ReplyDelete
  100. BabyMama, et al.
    I am not gone. Just so crazy busy. One more week and I hope to get caught up. Princess Boards? It's all so getting away from me! I tried the link but was directed to something that I don't allow on my computer. Since I'm staying at my sister's house and using her connection, I am even more careful than usual.

    Did anyone hear of the book and/or movie, "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"? I think Jon has never had an original idea and got his tattoo from there. I was just beginning to think he might have started to get his act together and then, ROAR!

    Just wanted to touch base a bit more than I have been 'cause I really enjoy this site and everyone here.

    BabyMama, I think you have my personal e-mail address - I hope so. Don't lose track of me with all the new interest.

    In the meantime, I'll be back more regularly in two weeks.

    ReplyDelete
  101. I'll probably get lost in fresh paper but giving it a shot LOL. I don't believe the Jake article at all. Ditto on the Tony and Evan comment.

    I'm actually surprised Kate is doing The View. When Elisabeth made those obnoxious comments about Erin Andrews and her stalker, the DWTS cast really rallyed behind her on twitter and in statements saying they had her back. Kate is the 1st person now going on The View since season 10. Even Niecy who is Sherri's best friend has not been on and she's been in NY several times and has socialized with Sherri according to twitter. I'd rather see Kate co-host with Regis and give that a shot.

    ReplyDelete
  102. I believe Elisabeth did publicly apologize.

    ReplyDelete
  103. I'd like to see her with Regis also..it would be a funny combination. I'm thinking that at this point Kate is taking opportunities that are offered to her. She's probably back on the view, because they invite her. Personally, I'd enjoy the opportunity to be extra friendly & nice to a couple of them. That's always been my response to not nice folks..kill them with kindness;0

  104. fascinated,
    Enjoy your vacation!!!

    I won't be around much the next few days either. We are having a big family reunion in the Poconos. I have some family coming to stay with me and then we are heading out there.

    I will try to watch The View though... and hopefully comment on it. ;)

    It's a beautiful day. ;)

  105. She did apologize!! I cannot wait for the View tomorrow!! Love K8!!

  107. Also, Kate updated her blog today.

    ReplyDelete
  108. Hello everyone! Just got back from a looonnngg work day! For those that just watched Extra EST..IT WAS AWESOME! (PST You have to watch for The View segment with Kate.)

    Kate pre-taped today as usual for a Friday show. And boy everyone kissed her behind as usual, but it was Joy Beyhar that tried to go for the jugular. FAILED! Kate nipped and snapped back at every turn, dispelling every rumor. No Bachelorette, absolutely no Botox or Boob job. Better bras, bad photos on the web. She basically goes through everything and she looks absolutely FANTASIC.

    So the best revenge truly is looking good and finally, being happy. As always YOU GO GIRL!

    I will put up a new post tonight but sadly it will be late. Bethenny Getting Married is on tonight and it's my new fav show until the next Kate Plus 8 of course. And, the second I get the episode of The View you KNOW I will be the first one to have it up. So if you miss it, don't worry, as always I got ya covered! :)

    ReplyDelete
  109. I'm baaaaaaaacccccck! Home a bit early. At least I can catch up, maybe?

    Fascinated - have a great vacation!

    BabyMama - Thanks for texting and keeping me posted. I was beyond frustrated at not being able to open websites and only getting sporadic email. And, having to boat to the middle of the lake to even catch a cell tower to do that. I can't wait for your post of The View! (Gotta work in the a.m. so can't watch it.)

    Now to read up on a bunch of email and return posts, etc.

    Dee - thanks for your kind words.

    Okay, I'd heard about the Princess Boards but didn't know what they were. Tried to read a bit today but since I don't read GWoP unless something is referenced here, it didn't make a lot of sense to me but was funny.

    PeggyP - really like your new avatar.

    momsby - I'd like to see Kate on Regis also, but my preference would be to see her sub for Regis, lol. Happy Canada Day!

    The View - Whoopi is not one of my favorites there at all. I think she's an outstanding actress when supplied with a director and a script. It's the "real" Whoopi I don't care much for. I don't like her sniping attitude and I find myself wanting to push her glasses up on her nose and grab a barette to pin back the dreads that fall into her eyes. So I like Whoopi in comedies/movies, but not her "real" persona.

    Tigger - loved your comments, along with Par's and others!

    Schmecky - what happened to your new photo?

    CraftyMom - Love new things on your site! I lurked for a year at Baby Mama's former blog, and waited six months at this one before I posted.

    angelsmama - good point!

    Holli Day - great to see you post!

    Know I forgot something else. Have a great evening all. Catch you tomorrow night!

    For those going away for the weekend & are US citizens, Have a safe and happy Fourth!

    I am leaving for Wisconsin for 5 days on Saturday but will try to stay in touch via my phone. Hopefully the resort has WiFi. :)

    Just set my DVR for the View tomorrow...can't wait to see her kick some butt. :)

  112. Hi Everyone!! I haven't posted in awhile, love the new look Babymama!! I normally don't post because somebody always says what I am thinking!! However I do know where Kate's turquoise top is from (I don't think anybody responded to this yet!) It's from Victoria's Secret. I saw it in the magazine that I get from them every month in the mail. I tried to find it on their website but it's not on there!! I'm hoping it didn't sell out :) Have a good 4th of July ladies!!

  113. Elisabeth apologized publicly on The View but Erin Andrews said she never called her personally to apologize like she said she did in her public apology. This was even referenced on the Larry King Live episode with the 3 final dancing couples.
