Miranda Otto as Aunt Jodi?

images


I love Miranda Otto -- she's such a great actress.
 
I really don't other than they were being interviewed by Radar, and Radar said this is what they said in the interview. So maybe Radar made it up, which would be more reason for it to be a poor choice for Kevin and Jodi to tell their 'story'. :confused3
Maybe that wasn't even Kevin and Jodi's voices, maybe Radar filled in the spots wiht voiceovers LOL.

Well, that didn't come out of Kevin and Jodi's own mouths, that is what the source SAYS they said, but did they really say it? :) How do you know for a fact?

New piece on them:

Ok, you all are going to get a kick out of this! I'm watching a re-run of J&K with my 3 girls (season 1) and TLC showed a clip of them at Charm City Cakes for the upcoming season. My oldest 2 LOVE Ace of Cakes. So they say "Mommy can we go to Charm City Cakes and make cakes like the Gosselins??" I told them no, we can't do that because Charm City Cakes doesn't allow people to just come in. Then they both said "why are the Gosselin kids allowed to then?" "Why can't we do it too?" "Why are they special?" Ah, out of the mouths of babes...

That's when you say, "they are on tv, so they get to do extra things". It's a simple and true explanation.
 

MO is they should handle this part in private. Neither will win, both will be the bad the guy (and the good guy, all at the same time). I suppose none of their life is our business yet they have chosen to put it out there and we have chosen to watch it. But everything does not need to be aired. I think they could update the viewers w/o the world following them into therapy.
Who is going to open up and see those skeletons in the closet with the whole world watching??? Few would, I think. I went to couseling after my dad died and I thought most of my issues were about him dying but the reality was a whole lot more that I had never faced. I think J&K both have a lot of issues to face and those most likely need to be kept private and not aired on national TV. JMHO.

I agree with so much of what you said. I do wish they would/could handle their personal problems in private, but it seems that saying they want to handle it in private and then giving tv and magazine interviews isn't really what 'in private' means (to me anyway). Some of the criticism I've read about them recently is that they (and TLC) are trying to keep the show's ratings as high as possible and suggestions have been that they're doing this in public for the ratings. It's all speculation and heresay. Only they know. And only we chat about it. :goodvibes
 
So tonight we were out at dinner and they had a tv on. My 9 year old son, who is very naive, saw a heading about Jon and Kate seperating. He loves loves loves that show and watches it whenever it is on. You should have seen the look on his face, he was so sad. He did not understand and said that they could not seperate that they had 8 kids and that it would be wrong.

It made me sad. My son was upset about this but I can not imagine what their kids are going through. It made it really hit home and realize more then ever that this show needs to end and there should not be reality shows with kids in them. Not only are the kids on the show effected but so are the kids that are watching it and remember how they just renewed their vows and said that mom and daddy would be together forever. I know it sounds silly and it is on tv but I wonder if kids look at them and think, they said they would be together forever and they're not, I wonder if my mom and dad are telling the truth.

I know that many people would like to believe that these kids live in a cave - sheltered from everything and anything that is going on - but they don't.. I still wish that Jon & Kate could work this out somehow, but I'm afraid that's just not going to happen..:sad2:
 
Wow look at this new cover - "Mom to Monster"!! :eek:

Some of preview:

http://www.usmagazine.com/news/jon-kate-and-i-going-through-a-lot-2009215

Us Weekly has reported that Jon lives in an apartment above the garage of their $1.1 million home, and had an affair with a 23-year-old. Short-tempered Kate -- who fired 40 staffers in three months -- has become "inseparable" from her bodyguard.

Us Weekly also reports that Jon saw his sextuplets as his "meal ticket" and Kate's former baby nurse confirms Kate talked to the McCaughey sextuplet family for advice on getting freebies.


Am I alone in thinking this is getting ridiculously ugly :sad2:

I don't think it's silly at all to feel that way. Tonight we're watching some of the early re-runs and they played the season premiere sneak peek. My oldest daughter (9) whipped her head around and started crying and asking me what was wrong with J&K? She was genuinely upset and worried that they might not be together anymore and what would happen to their kids. I was speechless and then tried to explain that although it may seem J&K are having problems, that doesn't mean they don't love each other and will not be together. So yes, it did hit home...these are very real people with children who are dealing with something so difficult and potentially traumatizing for their kids that I just wanted to cry. I too wonder about the kids particulary Cara & Mady, if they catch what's going on. It's sick, they really should pull the show so they can have the privacy they need to deal with this. Screw the ratings and what fans expect. This is their life and their kids lives. I don't think they realize too how many young fans they have either. :sad1:

I did not even think about them showing the previews. I am glad I decided not to tell them it was on.
 
You know the show is edited right? I don't think you can diagnose anyone from watching them on television. LOL. Even if you had the qualifications to do so. Are you a psychologist or psychiatrist?

I just watched said video and saw no such look.

Funny how the critics often talk about how they have alienated everyone and they have no friends and family. Seemed like a lot of people at the birthday bash to me!

I went back and watched the video,
and I only commented on Jon.
Sometimes when couples fight, they can barely look at each other.
I just saw Jon take a look at Kate,
and when I watched it a 2nd time, I saw kate's "look" that she gave Jon.
But with editing, the look could of been for something totally different.
But it was sad to see Kate give Jon the look of "dismissiveness".


I saw them look at each other but I didn't see Jon looking at Kate with any type of loving look.

OhMari, I was not commenting on your post. I was commenting via Maxie's to sandramaac's quote about kate giving Jon a bad look.

My comment to you about Jon looking at Kate was up higher than my comment to Sandramaac via maxie's post about Kate. I understood you did not comment about Kate's look--only Jon's look when you said something about maybe him still being in love with her. :) I actually didn't think it was a loving look from either one--but not hateful either, really. :flower3:


I recently came across someone comparing Kate Gosselin to Madonna -- i.e. both came from poor backgrounds, are very tough and determined to achieve fame & fortune, they aren't letting anyone stand in their way and they don't care who they have to trample over to do it.

Do you think this is a good analogy? I thought it had its merits.

Nope, I don't think it is a good analogy. I do think often times people who come from nothing and have little when growing up have a lot of determination and drive. I think Kate seems like one of those type people. I have worked for someone like her. In fact, she also did not treat her DH well and they even divorced--but he cheated on her too. I am sure she is loving the money and fame and the the ability to give her kids stuff. Sooner or later one ususally learns that stuff given to their kids does not mean as much as they thought.
It is a general mistake that people in this country have been making for many years now.


Maybe they kept the May 10th celebration small as they knew there would be a bigger one that would be filmed. Why have 2 big ones? Besides May 10 is Mother's Day. Some of the kids friends may have been busy with their own families that day so they chose to have a small family celebration that day instead of the big party. Makes sense to me.

:thumbsup2

Well, Madonna's new boyfriend is 22. Madonna (51) is almost the same age as this youngster's granny (50). :laughing:
Kate just might have enough problems already. A Madonna comparison seems like it's piling on. ;)

In that case, the question could be is Jon Gosselin the new Madonna?
:rotfl:;)

No, you are not alone. Kate looks so much better these days but it has little to do with her money. I would hate to think she stayed looking like the before all these years. Our looks need to evolve IMHO but hey, I'm a hairdresser so i like updated looks and change. :laughing::flower3:

I also don't think I'd allow young kids to even watch this show. It isn't a kids show, really, and if it has this type of impact on your children, I'd just turn it off and not allow it. Your kids may secretly start worrying about their parent's marriage etc. Small kids can't understand reality TV as wel as adults can and even we seem to have a hard time with it. I'd probably TIVO/DVR this show from now on if my kids were up when it comes on. I think it is throughout the day also so I'd be on a lert for those shows also.

That's harsh and totally uncalled for. Mom to Monster?? Ridiculous. I'm getting really tired of US Weekly and their "allegations". Isnt' there any kind of responsible journalism at their office that might, just maybe think it's not a great idea to continually rake this family over the coals ESPECIALLY since they have 8 beautiful little kids involved?? Gosh, I'm so irritated! I will never buy one of those magazines again. :mad:

What is so crazy about the picture they keep show of her, is that she is pregnant in that picture. Come on!

Sorry I must not have been clear when I said it was getting ridiculously ugly - I didn't mean Kate's looks ;) I meant the press attacks on both of them were getting way too hateful.
 
I watched the sneek peek video and I gotta say, I don't feel sorry for them. They created their own hell and now they have to live in it. I feel very. very sorry for those kids, though. They didn't ask for any of this and they will most likely pay the highest price.
 
Sorry I must not have been clear when I said it was getting ridiculously ugly - I didn't mean Kate's looks ;) I meant the press attacks on both of them were getting way too hateful.


no, no! You were clear. I agreed with you--"you are not alone".

I should have had space between that and my next comment! I just meant that I think kate looks much prettier now and that there is nothing wrong with that! I'd be ashamed on myself if I didn't help people evolve into their best look (or one they want/like as in Kate's hair's case. ;) I actually have worn my hair very similar to hers for a long time because my hair is super thick also. I just don't have the back cut as short and certainly don't spike it up in the back!! :laughing: But if that's what she asks for, I'd probably do what Kate wanted also. :rotfl: )

Anyway, you were very clear. I knew you were not bashing her new/better looks. :flower3:

I agree. JK8 is local here and all the radio and news stations every seem to talk about.:scared1:
