I agree, Kate is so fake. I think this will be the end. I feel bad because, the kids are so adorable but unfortunately the parents are very screwed up.

Kate is clinging to her dreams of wealth and fame. She needs to put these children ahead of her selfish goals.

Kate is a hypocrite, plain and simple. She says that talking about Jon would be bad for the kids, but she had no trouble doing magazine interviews and releasing that cryptic, "I had to protect my children" bull when she filed for divorce. She's a drama queen, a fame whore and will do anything for a buck. I think Jon is of the same caliber, but at least he's honest and says he hates what he's doing. They're both real pieces of work and someone needs to step in and protect these kids. There was absolutely no reason to travel to LA to do LKL when she knew all she would be doing was whine about her divorce. How is that good for the kids? It's absolutely shameful and classless what these people are doing.

Well, they really worked on cleaning up the "ummms" in her answers. But every response was so carefully worded and so very well rehearsed that I could actually see the gears turning under that possum head of hair.

Can't wait to hear why Jon won't be allowed to come on for his own version.

Kate, I think your personality disorder is showing. You know, the narcissistic one.

If Kate is allowed to go on various shows and spew her lies why can't Jon tell his side?

While Kate's off speaking again about her marriage, Jon is at a baseball game with the kids. Mady and Cara are in school what do the other kids think of this? Are they made fun of?

When K(h)ate denied that the show affected the marriage I just couldn't believe it. She can't stop talking about the uninvited photographers these days....Kate, do you think this wouldn't be a problem if you hadn't done a show in the first place? Do you think your superior attitude towards your husband over the last three seasons would still be there if you didn't have hundreds of people writing to you every week with praise (that has obviously gone to your head.) The last words from your mouth that I believed was when you looked out the window of your new home and said, "Mine, mine mine"

Z, The repeat of Larry King is on right now, but I will have to digest all of this and post later. I am exhausted. Sounds so far like the same old, same old Kate.

I thought Kate's interview with Larry King was fine. In no interview that she has done has she bad mouthed Jon, unlike his numerous interviews with tabloid rags and the "paps at the fence". Next to the local bars, the fence is where he like to hang out the most. So, which one of them is posturing for attention? I will keep watching the show and hope that shortly it will be just Kate+8. Absolutely nothing wrong with a mother trying to provide for her family and give them opportunities that they would not otherwise have had. Jon didnt just wake up one morning and decide he was going to be an idiot, he must have always been that way and we just didnt see it until now. There has been nothing holding Jon back from getting a 9-5 job but Jon himself.

Kate did refrain from being negative about the father of her children. She was correct in not announcing to the world the personal things that is no one's business. Financial responsibilities have been on the shoulders of Kate. Anyone would have jumped on this opportunity to provide for their families. Of course, it has given rag writers something to write about also.

Will someone please take this woman and her ugly hair off the air? She is NOT a celebrity or a hero! Tired of seeing her talk about how she wants to be positive. Why couldn't she have been positive in front of the children all those times while talking down to Jon and taping the show? The man could only take so much. I don't agree at all with how he is acting now, but I don't blame him for wanting to get out!

I don't think we should be so hard on kate for trying to keep her chin up. after all daddy jon is out there running around like a kid, with a kid. Does he really think this one will be forever? So what if she wants to have a career that pays the bills. Wouldn't we all agree to a TV show if offered? Pick on Nadya Sullemon, she's the screwed up one that's going to have messed up kids. There already showing signs.

This proves people only watched it because it was train-wreck tv. It was fascinating to see who would insult the other, pull a face, yell, make a snide remark....Now the fighting has stopped and it's a snore. Jon tries too hard to be cool, Kate tries too hard to be fun and the kids....well, get ready for some hefty therapy bills.

Great article, more of the media need to call out Kate for being such a hypocrite. She is coached to be evasive about the facts because TLC doesn't want her to give anything away they might be able to sell to an audience. I hope the networks realize this woman can not sustain an audience, she is a train wreck people are drawn to watch once, then walk away in disgust.

I am quite saddened, but not shockeded, that some claim Kate is not being "negative" about Jon. Kate has been in magazines, talk shows, etc., with one goal in mind - to promote herself at the expense of her children and her children's father. These actions speak to a woman who is all about herself and care very little for her children and cares nothing for her husband. Jon was just a means to an end for Kate. Once she got what she wanted, Jon was expendable.

Larry King did a good interview. Kate might as well not have been interviewed. Her answers were the same as before like in her interview with Today. She is not being honest with herself or us. Everything has a cause and an effect she just doesn't want to admit to anything so it leaves us with more questions than answers and really is very boring. I will have to say she has been nice to Jon who doesn't really deserve it. I'm think the show is really not going to survive much longer.

To whomever said Kate refrained from being negative about Jon: HEEELLLLOOOOOO!!!!! Slap, slap,slap. You need to lose weight. I control your portions. Why are you doing that? You need hairplugs. Daddy's just mean, don't listen to daddy. Joooon, could you help your children (always screeched while sitting in her plastic chair in the driveway).

Apparently you've never actually seen the show. She was negative to his face for hours and hours of filming. When she finally got called on it she changed. But just a little.

And as far as blaming writers who are writing about her, it's very simple. If she would stop running her butt and mouth to any media outlet that will take her, they wouldn't have anything to write about. If she stopped talking to People, InTouch, Meredith Vieira, Rachel Ray, Larry King, etc., there would be nothing to report. She WANTS people to write about her. Do you work for TLC? Are you one of the new interns paid to troll boards and posts to make positive comments on Kate?

Kate says what is best for "Kate" SHe needs to do and say anything that will keep people on her side and keep that show going.How can she afford her teeth whitening with out it. If she is sooo tired of the press invading her life why does she continue to go on talk shows and sit with her kids inthe front of the house. They have a very secluded back yard. I say kudo to Jon for moving on. Kate needs help ! Seriously. Deep inside she is wishing the kids lived with their father, but she won't give up the money...

Kate deferred to answering tough questions under the quise of not wanting to say anything negative. I can't remember a positive thing she said about Jon all the years she was on the show.

The truth is, Kate didn't want to answer the softball questions that were thrown her way by Kermit the King because it wouldn't sync with the lies that TLC has tried to push on the viewers.

The only difference between Kate Gosselin and Bernard Maddoff is their gender. Both continued to draw in millions on the trusting nature of those who wanted to believe in them and they both had nothing but contempt for all of them.

Z, I really enjoy your blog, but enough with the Jon and Kate obsession. This is exactly what they want...people to continue to write and/or talk about them. Maybe if we ignore them, they will go away?

Wow, last night was exactly what I did not want to see. Unfortunately for Kate and her whole family it answered alot for me. I was brought up to believe you see a person's true character in times of trouble. Today is my final day of the Gosselins. The only way to get this family some relief is to stop feeding the media frenzy.

The one thing that saddens me the most is that they have never aired any footage of Kate actually playing spontaneously with the kids. Everything is scripted. Every trip is planned, every interaction Kate has with the kids is simply for the cameras and not for the benefit of the kids.

This woman is incapable of being a mother. So sad for the kids.

Say what you want about Jon, but at least he pays attention to the kids and plays with them.

I'm not paid to make any comments about Kate posiitve or negative, but sometimes people could be a little nicer. I appreciate the article Z and for keeping us up-to-date on this story from the beginning.

Z, I have a (serious question) for you on facebook if you have time. Not the first one, the second one,

Jon and Kate = what happens to co-dependents when they realize they're not so, "umm", dependent.

These kids need an advocate, and clearly it ain't Kate who's using them for all the free vacays, spa days, and body touch-ups, and haute couture she can get. If I hear her say "it's for the kids" one more time... it'll only be because my wife is (was?) addicted to the show.

Talk about a script. Her words were exactly the same as in this months people magazine. SHe can't even speak truthfully from the heart. And as to her being lonely and no time to date..DOes she actually think someone would want to date her. She has serious issues...

I have to admit that I have been following this story, we all seem to love drama. Truth is that there are really 3 sides to this story, Only Kate and Jon know what really happen. Jon has admitted that he is only 32 with 8 kids and never known another way of life. It is a little late for him to say that, however Kate did say that she was the one that really wanted another baby, while Jon was happy with the twins. Again he went along with it. It seems that he was always trying to please Kate and Kate never was really happy.
Maybe we all need to give this family time to recover and regroup, Kate is doing nothing
that any scorned woman would do, and Jon is doing exactally what any man would do. We all wish for millions and think that it will cures our troubles, well I am glad to have my mear earnings from a "regular" JOB and not the missery of the millions.

DId anyone catch this Kate lie? She said in an earlier interview that the twins were in therapy and last night said they were not. The woman has told so many lies she does not even know the truth anymore.

Speaking of Kate being a hypocrite....she said on LKL that she wants to stay positive and doesn't want negative stuff about Jon said for the kids to hear.

Oh yeah? Then why on the new cover of People magazine is there the headline: "Explosive Interview: Kate Strikes Back" where she basically badmouths the father of her children on the cover of a national magazine seen on every grocery store rack in the country?

Ok, can Kate and Jon just go away now? This woman is heartless, cold and lacking dignity and class. GO AWAY PLEASE!

It is a little late for him to say that, however Kate did say that she was the one that really wanted another baby, while Jon was happy with the twins, well we all see that Kate's got her baby times six. But again Jon went along with it. Eight childern are hard enough on a family than added to the stress they have a house and family full of several camera crews. It seems that Jon was always trying to please Kate and Kate never was really happy.

I am sick to death of these two and I never even watched the show. Talk about two faced. She whines about the papparazzi and not having any privacy, blah, blah, blah but all of that comes with the luxury of not having to hold down a real job. And by real job I don't mean being a mother. Being a mother is a real job but typically it doesn't allow you to be given thre free luxuries it has afforded these two ingrates. I am SICK of hearing her say they made "sacrifices". Sacrifices like being given a home and vehicle, vacations, etc. Heck, I'd make THOSE sacrifices, who wouldn't!!! Take this stupidity off the air and make these two get real jobs to pay for their lifestyle. DISGUSTING!

Everyone liked watching this show untill the divorce.
This show is about watching these children grow up in such a large family and how the parents cope with so many children. Everyonr gets divorced these days so why badmouth either one of them. If we don`t like this show don`t watch it. We should not be judge & jury. If Kate is smart she will decline all interviews for now on.

Well, maybe the family will move from Reality television in the future. Kate is scheduled to be on "The View" co hosting in Sept for 2 days.

I don't know how any of you can watch this shrew on tv anymore. I stopped watching anything to do with her two years ago...if I hear her voice on a commercial for her train wreck of a show I feel violently ill and have to change the channel.

This woman is a poor excuse for a mother and should be in therapy...everything she does is only for the cameras....NOT for the well being of her kids, who, unfortunately, will soon start showing signs of being exploited and abused at the hands of this narcissist. (If they haven't already).

These kids need a hero...someone to stand up and fight for THEM! What about their rights? All I can say is God bless them and please stop watching!

Kate actually used the word "healthy" when describing how the show has been for the kids...What planet is she from?? Get her lying @$$ off the TV PLEASE!

Please, please stop with Hate Gosslin!!! She needs to go the ... away! So Sick of seeing her face and hearing her lies!!!!

Hi, Had to edit for one word on language. But please see the update at the end of the post that I just put up about Kate subbing on The View Sept. 14 and 15 for Elisabeth Hasselbeck. More Kate, not less, I am afraid. Z

So, Kate "it's all about the kids" Gosselin is leaving her children for 2 days to co-host a television show. I am appalled that the ladies of The View would actually welcome Kate to co-host. They have been very vocal about how Kate needs to get her kids off the television. Anyway, I wrote "The View" and told them they had one less viewers.

Very interesting. I didn't know they were saying that. Huh. I wonder what they will say now -- and wehat it will do to the show's credibility. Thanks. Z

Both Kate and Jon bear responsibility for the demise of their marriage. Both Kate and Jon are responsible for what we are seeing played out in the tabloids and on 'entertainment TV'. The kids are in a terrible position of taking sides, whether they like it or not until Jon and Kate are forcing the kids to 'love' one more than the other. As far as those who do not like Jon and Kate, their show or what they have to say, just don't watch or read or feed into it. As long as you respond to the noise it will continue.

Well, at least she'll be an improvement over Elisabeth Hasselbeck... which isn't saying much.

Which isn't saying much indeed. Thanks. Z

I'm not a fan of Elisabeth either, but as a wife and mother, she has heads above Kate Gosselin. I don't see Elisabeth exploiting her children or mentioning her husband in any derogatory way at all.

Great article!

Most creepy part of the interview? Her smiling as she watched herself at the Dude Ranch. Her biggest smile actually happened when it was just her on the screen - no kids. Another excellent example of Kate's narcissism

Write to The View and complain. There is no question but that Larry King was affected by the many emails he received about Kate.

The show didn't affect the marriage?!? Ha ha ha ha!! I'll give Kate some credit for having the gall to attempt to convince people of that blatant lie, but I can't imagine that anyone believes her (ok, I can -- there are some odd people out there). Jon is certainly not an angel, but Kate is after nothing but money. When is enough, Kate? She says that she has to "provide" for her children, yet how many millions do you need to do that, even with 8 kids? That house is ridiculously large, and if she's worried about providing for them, perhaps she needs to stop doing so many TV shows and interviews and instead try being a mother....WITHOUT cameras. Maybe that prospect scares her.

What's Kate going to say? That, yes, she realizes the show is harmful to the kids and helped destroy her marriage, but, being the fame/money whore that she is, the show must go on? That fake fingernails aren't cheap, nor are all of the other freebies they get for being on TV? That she'll never be able to afford the lifestyle to which she's grown accustomed if the show ends? That what the kids want or need doesn't matter, as long as the money keeps rolling in? No, that would be stark honesty, and she'd have to own up to what she really is--a self-centered, greedy, nasty, conceited control freak. She'll never say anything but that the show has been "good for the kids." TLC needs to end this debacle, because Kate sure never will.

Poor kids. Kate might act like she's the victim but there are eight others who should disagree.

I honestly think that Kate has done absolutley nothing wrong. She is a mother of 8 kids who has always been there for them. Of course any mother would get a little cranky towards her husband who did nothing. I dont know I am totally on kates side and feel terrible for her. I mean you never see her going out with younger men after saying she doesn't want to hurt the kids like he does. I am going to continue watching this show and having support for Kate!

I think we've pretty well established what kind of a person Kate is, how the kids are hurt by the entire circus, and how the media's going to ride out their fame as long as the ratings are good.

At what point can we start focusing on other things in television?

Irene Smith, formerly of BFA? Is that you?

I think Larry could have pushed a teensy bit harder when he asked her about the hypocrisy of doing the renewal show then a divorce only months later. I find I don't have to talk about that? Why are you doing interviews then Kate, if not to answer those charges and set the story straight? The renewal was a staged fake, which opened a whole can of worms on how this marriage really was and how the show was fake. If you find you don't "have to" discuss that, then stay off Larry King. Because all you did was confirm that you are not only hypocrite but arrogant.

Hi Valerie, I see your point, but King was pushing prety hard for him. Her answer was pretty outrageous. THanks. Z

Laura, I find it amusing that you think Jon has does nothing for those children. Your words lead me to believe you are a fan of the show, as I once was. If you actually watched the show, you will see that it was Jon that got up, made the kids breakfast, got them dressed and Cara and Mady off to school while Kate slept. Up until the time when the "real" story of these 2 surfaced Kate was gone all of the time on speaking engagements and book signings. Who was with the children? It was Jon. So, please, knock off the Kate "does it all". We know better, we've seen different.

I think going on the View is great. Let the kids, who appear to be staging sit ins to protest not wanting to film, film, film (when their mother is not there, I would imagine any such activity would be nipped in the bud harshly)have a break from cameras and lets see how Kate does on her own.
I loathe Elizabeth H so having kate ist in for her will be nice, hopefully she won't feel the need to fake assinine political views in order to compete with Elizabeth for "most hated."

Elizabeth, watch your back. Kate's looking for your spot. She doesn't like it when she doesn't get what she wants and can be ruthless in pursuing her career.

Why do these media outlets continually do interviews with Kate Gosselin when she always dodges the hard questions and continually gives out misinformation? Her answers are extremely rehearsed to the canned safe questions and I was amazed how she "spung" her showing up at the gate, out of control, calling the police about a week ago. No questions either about her hit and run accident, or her abandonment of all of her family and friends. I think that TLC is putting her out there to try to "save" the ratings without revealing the real situation. I don't think this will work. Just don't watch the show and let these children attempt to have a semi-normal childhood.

This is not going away soon by any stretch Z. I just read the People Magazine interview with Kate and I thought just last night she said on Larry King there were things that would remain "Private"
I told my husband this was my last Gosselin day....I really wish this family the best...I am grateful now that fame/fortune has never come my way. It can exploit and ruin good people just trying to do better.

You have got to be kidding me? I have never watched The View. Actually a guest host? She will certainly be doing it for all of the reasons mentioned above "for the kids, to be positive, and for peace". Oh my..... Maybe they can get Jon on as a guest host too.

I am so surprised that no one has interviewed jon's brother..he lives in Carroll County...Word is that he and his wife are separated and filing for divorce...she supposedly has been seeing someone she works with for a while...

I have a problem with this being called still a "reality show".

What in it is real reality? Surely not Kate, and not Jon. They are so fake and so scripted and so playing us.

So it really is no more reality show one would watch and enjoy.. a travel of a family through hardships and joys of life.

We see staged bits and pieces of life of a family that is falling apart and everyone except for kids is trying to play someone else in artificial circumstances.

I used to like this show as it gave me a perspective and courage in everyday struggle of family who stics together, of real feelings and problems of real people (or at least believable) now
it is all about Kate's appearence,
she is posing in every show just to show her best profile, and she just takes us on tours while Jon is building bikes (or so he would like to believe while it just seem radiculous) ..

Watching this show turned for me from interesting to traumatizing.
I can't help but to have mixed feelings and most of them are on a blue range.

I pity kids all the time and can't help to think how sad their life is with parents taking turns and depraving them of being family like they used to be..

I pity Kate for pretending for us for the money and wasting her marriage and
being so busy all the time.. that is not dedicated mom of 8 anymore to me that is fame and money oriented business women.. so if I wished to watch show about someone like that then I would but I don't.

I pity Jon as he seem to have host of a personal issues and he looks like he is not thre for most parts.. like someone turned off the lights from the inside..
he looks at best..... tarnquilized for most parts.

So what are we really watching? Reality show? what reality? Tom and Jerry has more reality then Jon and Kate at this time.

We are being pumped network and self innvented Kate reality that pushes anything that they think will sell.

I am so done with that show.

I would respect Kate and listen to what she has to say if she would go back to her kids and really stick to them. What mother abandands her little ones and let a husband with host of call girls run the stable?

in any case.. I am letting go

One of the worst articles I have ever read. Plain and simple.

And I don't even care about Jon and Kate; however, I did watch the interview and she is pretty much a class act. Perhaps you should do a bit more research before writing an article of such low standards.

Kate is a gross human being and a master of manipulation. With the money she has earned she does not have to worry about the financial future of her children or herself therefore if she was concerned for the well-being of her children she should leave the media circuit. This programming demeans the reputation of TLC. Because I thought it was wholesome viewing, my kids have watched the series since it's beginning largely because they thought the kids to be endearing but it became more about the parents and less inviting to watch. Now the program is gross (besides their marital problems) The kids are just regular kids exposed to a life of affluence and expectations and vacations galore. but wihtout the seaside vacations how could Kate show off her many hours at the gym or plastic surgeon's office in her many new bikinis? TLC's Table for 10 depicts a loving, working family of multiples and the comparisons are glaring: Family is involved in the raising and celebration of these children, love is abudent. everyone is not dressed in brand new idential outfits fresh on their hangers. they enjoy simple pleasures together and they exude joy.

I'll be sure to tune in. Bwahahahaa-NOT!

I totally agree with David. Kate didn't once deviate from her usual script, though Larry did his best to get her to talk. Why did she go on LKL in the first place? She didn't have anything new to say. If Kate really wanted to do what was best for her kids, she'd get them the heck off of TV. Oh, and I thought Kathie Lee Gifford had the best line of the night: “Sometimes we talk too much about everything, and we assume that everybody is fascinated about it. When in reality, we should only talk to the people that truly care, whose opinions really matter to us.” For more of my thoughts about the interview, go here:
http://tinyurl.com/mc5eh5

Who cares if Kate is getting old? She's still hot and I wouldn't kick her out...

I said her "ACT" is getting old, Mike. Z

This is getting a bit tiring, Kate is so "whoe is me" . My husband left me and our 10 children 4 years ago. I didn't have all the fame, and money that comes with K&J and raising their kids. I have 6 in college now and 4 at home plus I do have to work and one of my children is disabled. I'm tired of the whining Kate, if you didn't want the cameras in the first place you shouldn't have invited them in and as for your stability its sure a lot better than mine (I don't have the millions behind the TV series) Life doesn't usually go the way you planned it to be but please get to the reality of the common people worse off than you and complaining 100X less.

I was trying to give Kate Gosselin the benefit of the doubt, but I think being a guest host on The View pretty much has cemented it for me. She really doesn't care about her kids and is in this only for the money/fame. I wonder who the guests will be for those two days? Probably doesn't really matter the ratings should be great. No matter how strange it seems it can always get stranger. The icing on the cake for me!

Perhaps she will implode on The View.

She has stated that she doesn't care about current events and doesn't follow politics, so just what the *** will she have to contribute to the broadcast?

Perhaps she will hang herself if given enough microphone cording. Sigh.. at least she is replacing the weakest link. Whoopie and Joy have been rather vocal about the Gosselin child exploitation this summer.

I guess Kate won't see the kids most of September as she will also be gone for 3 weekends with the Southern Womens Show schedule. Teflon coated, I think.

"Do you think the show affected the marriage?" King asked the most discussed mom on American television.

TRANSLATION: "Do you wish to bite the hand that feeds you?"

"No," Kate said. (No translation needed!)

Z, you’re DEFINITELY right! Kate's ACT is getting OLD. She doesn’t speak the truth nor does she truly speak from the heart. She is scripted, coached and following TLC's PR strategies to repair/boost her image. She DOES NOT have any intention of stopping the show, even after she said she would if it negatively impacted her family. LIAR!

Her children are unhappy. Before the split it was evident that Jon was unhappy and WANTED TO STOP the show AND it was starting to really affect the children. Past episodes reveal changes in the children with increased aggression between the children and increased tantrums. BUT NO, Kate’s need to feed her addiction to the freebies, fame, and $$$ supersedes the family’s needs.

TLC sees a cash cow in this tragedy and controversy so OF COURSE they WILL NOT stop the show. In fact, they probably enticed and fed into Kate’s "BIG DREAMS" by offering to help KATE'S CAREER at the expense of the family's needs. And so now she will be on “The View.” I am a regular viewer of “The View.” But I WILL NOT watch that show if she is their guest/celebrity. Her greed is SO EVIDENT when she sacrifices her children and family for fame and $$.

Kate’s reference to “peace” is ridiculous. Past seasons and episodes clearly demonstrate that she was the DRAMA QUEEN OF FREAKING OUT!! I have NEVER met anyone in my life who freaks out over mundane things like she does. Example. The coupon episode. Kate goes ballistic when Jon doesn’t use a coupon to buy a shower head. She goes on a RIDICULOUS tirade! Kate controls the finances to her advantage. A stupid coupon but she goes on weekly jaunts to the hair salon, tanning salon (2 -3x per week), mani/pedicure. Unbelievable!

Check out the DSMIV categories that describe Kate’s behaviors.

1. She exhibits Narcissistic traits both past and currently with “…a pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and sense of entitlement.” She clearly does not see that she has a problem and that she is entitled to anything she wants, under her conditions.
2. She has demonstrated these Obsessive Compulsive tendencies in past episodes with “…obsessions (persistent, often irrational, and seemingly uncontrollable thoughts) and compulsions (actions which are used to neutralize the obsessions). “
3. She has an anxiety disorder as demonstrated by her “excessive and irrational worries” that affect her family and other relationships.

It’s highly possible, she is in therapy and possible on medication under the advice of TLC’s producers. She NEEDS to change her image and because of her fanatical need to chase her “BIG DREAMS” of grandiosity.

For Kate lovers who might ‘freak out’ and say, “…how do you know what goes on in their (Jon & Kate) life?” I KNOW because their life is an open book for EVERYONE to see. The Gosselins or shall I say, KATE decided to share their story with the world and so WE ALL KNOW. There is not a lot of mystery left.

Some day, when Jon is no longer under TLC’s contract, someone will approach him to write his story. I hope they will also include other family/friends/employee’s story in this book. Then we will hear the real story of Kate and TLC’s collaboration to destroy a family to fulfill a ‘contract for money.”

Ha, ha, ha! Hey Sherry T., I loved your comment! Kate may end up storming off the set when she can’t keep up with the discussions on current events and politics.

Whoppie & Joy will eat her up and spit her out. They have both been very vocal about child exploitation so I’m sure they will have a LONG list of questions about TLC’s show.

Do you think Kate/TLC prepared a diva list of topics NOT TO DISCUSS?! Because of your insightful comment, I change my mind, I might watch “The View” on that day.

Hey Z, I hope you’ll post a blog after that appearance. It should be pretty hilarious!! Now that will be entertaining.

Oh, I guarantee you I will do that. Z

Hi CSI,

I think that comment actually came from Free The Gosselin 8, but I found myself laughing over it also. I guess I will have to watch this if I can find it. I never have watched The View. But, now I have to see Kate Gosselin on this I agree and will be looking forward to Z's ensuing post.

Kate Rocks!

did you mean Kate should be stoned???

Dear Anonymous: Are you addressing me to me or one of the commenters? Can you clarify? I have no idea what you mean or what you are suggesting? Or where your question is coming from? Sorry I can't help you based on this piece of a question. Z

Sherry T. you're right. It did come from Free The Gosselin 8. A shout out to "Free The Gosselin 8" for your comments.

I LOVE the children. They are the innocents in this modern day tragedy. I'm looking forward to the intense face to face questions about child exploitation that I'm sure the ladies of "The View" will ask Kate. Kate lover, don't worry, Kate's coaching staff from TLC's PR department will surely prepare Kate for the inevitable. Then Kate will add "The View" on to her list of shows not to appear on. Hummm, that might damper her quest for her "Big Dreams."

Jon needs to stop his MADNESS and man up for the kids. Prior to his breakdown and their separation, he was a good father to his children. He admits to giving in to Kate's demands, going along with whatever she wanted. He reminds me of clientele I work with who have been oppressed, dominated and abused. For some, when they are finally free from their abusive relationship, they go into a frenzy of inappropriate activites and relationships. There's a little bit of PTSD they experience as an aftermath. They act out inappropriately, make poor choices and, in Jon's case, are heading toward a train wreck. I'm hoping someone can help Jon. I'm sure TLC and Kate have decided that Jon's "voice" is not important so she'll just take control. Come on Jon, stop your crazy antics and get back to where you were before the lies, deceit and manipulation. Forget about Kate forcing you to sign the contract and forcing you out of the home. Get back to the reality of you being a good father to your children -- I remember when you were.

Go back to your family and friends for the support you need to heal over this. You don't need the bar hopping and crazy girls. You just need love from family and friends who really care.

Keep on loving your kids, keep on being affectionate and kind with your kids and you will be ok.

Hi CSI: Thanks. That is a fascinating insight: Jon acting like some of your clientele who have left abusive relationships. I never put his actions in that possible context. I still think he's behaving horribly. But.... Anyway, whanks. Z

Z, I TOTALLY agree that Jon’s behaviors have been HORRIBLE. Yes, he has gone over the edge with his behaviors. Yes, his recent behaviors are inexcusable. And some day, he will regret his adolescent behaviors. I will not abuse him further. Kate and TLC have already done a great job on that.

Jon needs to STOP his crazy antics and MAN UP!! He is capable of being a good father. NEWS FLASH! The children WILL Google Jon and they WILL read that he did not behave with respectful and honorable moral conduct. After all, they claim that they are good Christians. Didn't they make the rounds of various Christian functions as speakers?

Remember Jon, you are modeling behaviors for your kids. You need to STOP THE CRAZY BEHAVIORS RIGHT NOW!! Jon your children are watching you now! "...Mady is more like me (Kate) and Cara is more like Jon..." This statement has been heard in a lot of episodes. Cara is the quiet, logical and calm twin. She is caring and kind with others, especially the sextuplets. Cara is going through public meltdowns and my heart aches for her. If she is hurting and so are all of her siblings. Cara has similar qualities from Jon.

Jon might be going through a psychotic break, he needs serious help. I hope Jon has people in his life who can help him repair the damage and heal through this chapter of his life. Then be the calm, logical, kind, loving father he used to be.

Yes, it is "all about the kids"
Didn't Jacko say the same thing?

I think people are too hard on Jon. First of all I have no doubt that all decisions made while they were together were Kate's. He finally got tired of her abuse. If you watch early shows at least you see her laughing at his jokes in between bossing him around. later on she exchanged the laughs for putting him down in between barking orders. Suddenly he meets a girl who actually thinks he's funny, charming and goodlooking. How could he not want to move on after seeing such a stark contrast.

I just can't wait for the "Mommie Dearest" books to be published in octuplet!

Kate: "I said NO MORE WIRE HANGERS!"

from another woman's point of view, i truly feel like kate saying the right thing in the midst of her divorce with jon. common people, who are we to judge any of the parties involved if we don't even know the real story and events that had taken place. yes, i do agree kate is a bitch, but that doesn't justify any of jon's actions for the past few months. to me, he appears to be completely irrational, immature and most of all inappropriate. i might look like i am defending kate's grounds, but hey, at the end of the day, she really seem like she is all for the betterment of the future of her kids. as opposed to jon's frivolous ways - i'd rather choose a bitchy kate who thinks about the well being of her children. ITS LIKE CHOOSING WHO THE LESSER EVIL IS. i advise you to watch that jon's video on youtube in reference with the cops being called in their PA home last week, and watch how jon's talked about his wife---his wife for 10 years that is. he talks about her like she is nothing, or she has nothing good in his life. but anyway, at the end of the day, we all differ in our opinion and you are of course free to have yours.....whether its wrong or right....who knows what's right or wrong anyway?!

Z, anonymous may have been referring to the post before that says "KATE ROCKS", but that is only my guess.

Z,
I just discovered you...Funny comments. For some sick reason I have fallen under Kates spell. I cant figure out who is more sick...Kate for being Kate or me for looking her up everyday...

Hi Sonia, Welcome to the club. You will find lots of company here. I know you are kidding about it being "sick," but I think Kate is goofd because of the conversation that is generated because of her about parenting, motherwood, marriage and all thje rest. Thanks. Z
