Jon and Kate Plus 8, Official Thread-Part 3

I saw those also and wondered if that was considered a commercial which would might make the children actors? Then you get into child working labor laws. Just throwing that out there.

depends on how it was done. if they took footage from a museum visit (even if the intent the whole time was to use it in a commercial) then it likely would'nt fall under "acting" and the associated child labor laws. this is why it's very important for any person who is filmed or photographed in a manner that entails a written release to ensure what the extent or limitations of use entail. a person can sign off believing that they/their child's image will only be used for certain purposes but that release can legaly permit the owner (or whomever they choose to lease or sell to) a wide range of usage.

a co-worker of mine learned this the hard way when our employer hired a p.r. firm and took photos at a company picnic (supposedly just for in house calendars and staff materials)-she signed a release with reading it completly only to see her dd's photo used on billboards and bus signs around the county we worked for soliciting adoption and foster homes "for kids like me"

I didn't know if they had two parties. I asked because someone said they were heard arguing at the birthday party, and I didn't see that in the video, or it being reported, so I asked if there were two. That said, am I the only one that had family party's and children's party's for my kids? Sometimes we had three parties.
I guess in this case Kate is bad if she has an additional family party and a party for the show, or she is bad if she only has a public party LOL.

Since I have read that Jodi and Kevin haven't talked to J & K in a year (their interview), and I have read that K has locked J out according to Jodi, (or does he now live above the garage LOL) and that Kate told her the twins know what's going on (even thought Jodi and Kate haven't talked in a year), and that TLC people told Kevin that they can hardly get 15 minutes taped (and the TLC people must not have been afraid they would lose their job, going to Kate's family, that they know don't talk with each other), that the party was in their yard, and that the party was in the water park, I have seen pics where they seem to be amicable, I have read that they hardly spoke to each other, I have read that Kate is having an affair, I have read Jon chatted with the affairee. I read an interview supposedly by Neild's wife saying her and Kate are friends, now I see they used to be, I've read this was their first time together (J & K) in two weeks, but they were shown together at their house playing with the dogs, last week, Yep, I really know what to believe LOL.

I agree completely. The whole thing is such a mess. I'm with Kate on the "I'm hesitant to believe any of it".

Really though we dont know anything and I'm guessing these rag mags don't know much either.

Of course I still come back everyday to see what the new story is. ;

when does the next season premiere?

 

[kidshop]

which is exactly why I won't be surprised if this whole thing turns out to be a load of crap. none of it makes sense. too much conflicting information.

We do know Kate has been gone a lot for several months and we know Jon parties at bars and hangs out with young girls. We know their demeanor is tense on the couch interviews. Anything else is anyone's guess!

The new season starts next Monday, May 25th.

Kate said in a speaking engagement that they are going to Jr. Kindergarten. Not sure if it is 5 days a week or not.

Thanks for the information, very interesting.

I have a really stupid question. In all the latest birthday photos Jon is wearing a Indiana University T-shirt. Why? Does he now have some connection to IU? Was it a freebie? You would think he would try to avoid the T Shirt controversy. I remember before he would wear bible verse T Shirts to send messages to people and people were all over that, so you know people will comment on the IU shirt.

 

[Promomx2]

Maybe the tshirt is a gift from one of Jon's college friends.

There is an Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) school. I am not sure where he went to college, but that is probably what the tshirt is for. Lots of people in this area go there (and btw it does have a reputation as a party school ).

The venue for the birthday party is only 3 miles from my house. I was surprised to hear they had it there.....unless it has improved in the last few years it is kind of a dump. It is pretty private and secluded though (off a major road, but set back in the woods so easy to get to but secluded) so maybe that is why they had it there. It was COLD here on Sunday, so I feel sorry for the kids. We just got back from Florida that morning and just about froze to death.

I'm beginning to think this is just a scandal whipped up by the media. I'm convinced they have been having a pretty rocky patch in their marriage, but the media have been blowing it up out of all proportion, and it might not be as bad as it's been made out to be.

1 thing that did leave a nasty taste in my mouth was the comment in one of the tabloid quotes - calling Kate a 'mega breeder'. Nasty, just nasty. Just shows the gutter level they function at when they have to resort to name calling.

Just a guess, but maybe he likes the school. I have tshirts from the college I like, but I did not go there.

 

[C.Ann]

Nothing new straight from Jon & Kate's lips? That's good.. Maybe they finally figured out they should "zip it"..

 

[DMRick]

I agree with you. There was just the one mag that Kate said was true, and I assume she got out what she wanted to say and went on with her life. She did say all the other's are not from her.

Many people believe anything, and that sells the rag mags, so they have nothing to lose by printing anything they want.

Maybe it's a placement, and we didn't even realize it LOL!

I have thought this from the beginning. Maybe Jon was out partying, but I really don't believe he cheated and I really don't believe she is messing with bodyguard.

I agree.

Bad choices from both of them...yeah but I dont necessarily think cheating was going on.
