Jon and Kate Plus 8 Official Thread - Part 5

[3prettyprincesses]

I wonder if we'll see any changes in Jon's appearance, now that he's got a PR firm behind him. I would think they'll give him a swift kick in the pants, and tell him " duuuude .. pull yourself together, man .. "

Let's hope so! I really don't think he understands just how ridiculous he looks. That last picture of him (from one of the links here) had him wearing an Ed Hardy shirt (surprise, surprise) with skulls that said 'death', 'glory' and one other word I can't remember. That shirt would scare the crap out of my kids! So yes, Jon's PR people need to sit him down and have a chat. I wonder if Stacey and Clinton from What Not To Wear are just chomping at the bit to get their hands on Jon! Can you imagine what they'd say to him? I'd LOVE to see that episode!

 

[TanyaLovesPooh]

Just to add to your mental picture, just imagine him lifting up his shirt and scratching his glorious tummy

Makes you wonder if Kate went "hard" because he was a child that wouldn't/couldn't take on the role of adult. Maybe the way she is now is a direct result of him not standing up and her having to take on that role. You can see by her recent comments that she just will have to do things that she didn't have to do before - seems to me like she would have done that before. I don't agree with how she spoke to him before, but in retrospect if this is any indication of what the "real" Jon is like I wouldn't be surprised if her personality was a result of his personality. Know what I mean??

Yes, that is exactly what I think.

my tweet didn't say... LOL. it was just the pics from Just Jared.

Lol....My tweet was from someone who is following the Jonas Brothers so it just mentioned that Kate and the kids were there. I was hoping it wasn't the tups!

completely OT... but I thought of you yesterday, Michelle .. I took a webinar and was logged into Twitter to ask questions and participate. I felt very high tech.

NEWS NEWS NEWS 8:50pm JON SIGHTING
DD JUST CALLED ME FROM JONAS BROTHERS CONCERT IN PHILLY, AND TOLD ME THAT JON IS IN THE CLUB BOX NEXT TO HER SHE IS GOING TO TRY AND TAKE A PIC SHE ISNT SURE IF THE GIRLS ARE WITH HIM


I WONDER IF TMZ OR JUST JARED KNOW

ok have update to my previous post

seems i could not hear dd on phone, but it was indeed kate who was with the girls

dd was in box next to theirs, however she and her friends were actually just a few feet from kate

first, dd said people where jumping from box to box trying to get pics of kate, and she seemed to love it she was waving and smiling to people

second, dd and her friends said that both girls looked and acted miserable and they said it looked as if kate was having more fun than them

finally dd and friends said the one twin (they don't really know thier names, but they said that it was the one who looks more asian, which is Maddy) was crying terrible because she had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the concert and the mom would not take her she cried for about 5 minutes before finally she was taken to the bathroom

kinda found this interesting

 

[Buckalew11]

same dresses, different photo shoot. it has to be.

that looks like a TV interview, and Kate was wearing different clothes on Saturday. Jon is skinnier in that picture, too. LOLOL.

Actually, those are different yellow dresses.

now hang on ... double standard? Jon dresses younger and he gets snark? when people made comments on Kate's dressing "younger" or sexier or whatever ... there were all sorts of excuses for her to look young and hip.

And I agree with the pp. kate (except for those spikes) looks terrific. I do not think she is dressing inappropriately or too young for her age.
She's very pretty. Jon is totally over doing to Ed Hardy wear. And I bet Hailey had a lot to do with the Ed Hardy. We have a lot to thank her for, don't we?


And hooray! It looks like Kate has removed her wedding rings!!!!
After what has transpired this week, I would have done the same, period.

Sadly the tabloids will let us know who she is. The kids can't even take a friend to a concert without all of them being flashed all over the internet .

As a mother, I'm not sure if I would be able to let my DD go anywhere with these girls -- we value our own privacy, and the thought of my DD's picture being in any tabloid or on any website really creeps me out.

I'm a little disappointed that I'm not at all surprised.

I would totally hate that and couldn't agree with you more!

 

[dicar123]

It was someone who posted here. Can't remember who but they mentioned that Kate2 might be using this as an opportunity to get the inside scoop on J&K. I wonder what he told her at dinner last night...let's hope he was sober!

That was me! I feel famous.

No Jon, I won't date you. I'm married

Well at least we know that Kate is giving the kiddos water!

Sorry, I could not resist. The minute I read this post I thought instantly of that photo shoot/interview where Kate denied the one DD a sip of water.

Her PR people must have read about it in the Dis forums.

I actually saw a news piece a couple of weeks ago about people who are hired by PR firms to cover facebook, twitter, etc. to figure out what people are saying about their clients. Hey, I could do that job.

 

[newtodis]

And now the plot thickens....http://www.radaronline.com/exclusiv...rtbroken-over-jon-gosselin’s-romance-reporter

From the article:

Meanwhile, Hailey is angry and hurt over Jon’s betrayal. “She feels like she gave so much of herself and put up with her whole crazy history coming out, only to be thrown to the curb,” said the source.

“Hailey also feels like she made Jon chic. He dressed a lot more "dorky" before her. She feels she helped him gain some style, and the attention he got from it went to his head.”

Hailey "gave so much of herself" - haven't they only been together like a month? And my understanding is she doesn't have a job or anything else to do with her day.....

I thought Jon got the free clothes from Ed Hardy and that's what made him start wearing them (maybe Kate burned the others!) If that's Hailey's take on style (is she after her own tv show to make people over????), count me out!

now hang on ... double standard? Jon dresses younger and he gets snark? when people made comments on Kate's dressing "younger" or sexier or whatever ... there were all sorts of excuses for her to look young and hip.

Agreed although Kate does look a bit better IMO. She's made a couple of oops (again IMO) but not nearly as many as Jon in regards to clothes.

Big difference..Kate looks good. Jon looks like a 16 year old wannabe..sloppy as all get out LOL! I'm waiting til his jeans are belted down around his knees with his undies showing.

Now that was a mental image I could have gone my entire life without having!

Yeah...what they said. Kate doesn't dress like she is trying to look like a 17-21 year old. She is dressing stylish. It's like she went on "what not to wear" for her fashion tips and Jon went to the local high school!

Do kids in high school even wear that??? I thought it was expensive....

Yup. Well Just Jared knows that Kate is there with Mady, Cara and another little girl:

http://justjared.buzznet.com/2009/07/23/kate-gosselin-jonas-brothers/

Well I hope the girls had a good time. I'll wait to read some different reports of what happened. I'm sure more will come rolling in soon. I saw the one above saying the girls didn't look like they were having fun.....I don't know....concerts are kind of long and if the girls aren't that "into" the Jonas Brothers, I could see them getting bored. As for the bathroom crying, the girls are old enough now (barring any health issues they may have) to not have to run to the bathroom right away. Now I will drop just about anything to take DS2 when he says he has to go because he doesn't understand. DS5 can wait a minute for me to try and stop whatever I'm doing before I have to take him. I don't get to just get up from my desk or meeting or whatever and I certainly can't sit there crying about it!

I hope the girls (and kids in general) aren't using the crying/whining/fit throwing just to get the attention if they don't get what they need right away. It seems like we read/hear about this a lot when they're out. Maybe at home they have the freedom (not sure if that's the right word) to go and do whatever (within reason I'm sure) like playing, getting drinks, bathroom, whatever. When they're out places like this, they have to wait for someone else to go with them. I know my DS5 will pull the "potty card" occassionaly if there's something he doesn't want to do. That's when I look at him and tell him "fine then you'll just have to pee your pants". (I know I'm awful!) I know the kids are going through a lot and I'm sure are having a tough time dealing with it - I hope they're getting the help they need.

It probably will come as no surprise, but the ongoing contentious wrangling between estranged couple Jon and Kate Gosselin is having a very negative impact on their eight children.

''The twins [the two oldest children, Cara and Madelyn, age 8] are taking it the worst,'' said a key member of the ''Jon & Kate Plus 8'' show on TLC.

''They already are seeing a psychologist for counseling, who is trying to help them understand their parents' split is not their fault,'' said the source.

Apparently, even the younger children -- the couple's sextuplets -- also are very upset and, as often is the case in broken homes, ''are acting out their emotions by fighting, misbehaving and generally acting very moody and bratty,'' said the show staffer.

• It seems the kids don't care much for Jon Gosselin's 22-year-old girlfriend Hailey Glassman, the daughter of Kate's onetime plastic surgeon. During one of Glassman's rare visits with the kids, the Gosselin tykes made clear their dislike for their dad's love interest.

''They really acted up that day,'' said the TLC insider. ''It was pretty clear that Kate put them up to that. But then, could you blame her?''

• Speaking of Glassman, it's kind of funny the ''other woman'' is jealous of the other ''other woman'' in Jon Gosselin's life. Glassman tearfully told People, ''I still love Jon and Jon loves me,'' after hearing Star reporter Kate Major's claim she ended up ''falling for'' Gosselin upon meeting him for an interview.

Major, who has since been forced to resign from the Star, long has been known to use her flirtatious charms to get close to male interview subjects.

Reality TV mom Kate Gosselin and her twins get the luxury treatment at the Jonas Brothers show in Philadelphia on Thursday night.

Slideshows: Images Of The Gosselin Estate | Gosselin Top 10 Freebies

Gosselin, the twins and two of the twin's friends took a stretch limo from Berks County to the Wachovia Center to watch the red-hot tween band perform.

By all accounts, the Gosselins were treated like stars and posed for a few photos for the paparazzi.

One person who Twittered about meeting Kate Gosselin called her “super pretty.”

There was no word if the Gosselins paid for their tickets, or if the visit was filmed by TLC camera crews.

Jon Gosselin was believed to be back at the family's estate in Wernersville, Pa., along with a TLC film crew and the couple's sextuplets.

This must be the "helper" who refuses to have her face shown on tv??

[newtodis]

The other day I did my best to defend Jon Gosselin against all the hate he’s been getting. I reasoned that he has been put in a bad position by his wife Kate and he’s been doing the best he can to endure. But then I decided to keep a more open mind and take a realistic look at both Jon and Kate.

You know what I realized? These are both pretty horrible people when you get right down to it!

There’s almost no reason to choose a winner between Jon and Kate because that’s akin to asking what someone likes better, a cold or the flu. Neither is good and should be avoided at all costs!

Bad people exploit their kids for fame and money

The first thing any of us has to realize is that it takes two to tango. Jon and Kate Gosselin both signed up for multiple births and then both were happy to sell out their own and their children’s privacy for the bag of loot reality television offered. Not only that, they brought their kids into it, without their consent. And that is always wrong, no matter which second rate celebrity is doing it.

The kids didn’t ask to be famous. Hell, children don’t even ask to be brought into this world, let alone paraded around in front of an audience of millions. What exact fact this type of upbringing this will have Jon and Kate’s “Plus 8″ remains unknown, but if the lives of former child stars is any indication, it can’t be all that good.

But Kate and Jon didn’t mind selling out the kids as long as they got what they wanted. A $75,000 weekly paycheck, tons of free swag, and more than their 15 minutes of fame are what the Gosselin’s received in return for losing their right to privacy. They have had a glaring spotlight pointed into their home for years now. Few, if any, marriages could withstand this type of scrutiny, let alone a marriage that had the added responsibility that only multiple births bring with it.

Divorce is bringing out the worst in Jon and Kate Gosselin

Now that the marriage is over, we will likely see more of Jon and Kate Gosselin and their true colors.

For Kate, that means she can continue to be a gold-digging manipulative trailer mama and for Jon it means he’ll spend his life as an aging party boy, constantly chasing younger women, looking for the party he missed during his decade long attachment to Kate.

For the kids, the future is a little more uncertain. It’s hard enough to be children of divorce, let alone to have to act it out in the public spotlight. I would be amazed if these children end up without behavioural problems. Because now, when they need their parents most, both Jon and Kate, seem to be more self absorbed than ever.

Jon and Kate have both failed their children the same way they failed each other. The only reason they haven’t let the rest of us down is because none of us expect anything from them. For us they’re just a couple of buffoons acting out for our amusement. Now, as they sink deeper into the depravity of their lives, watching them will become even more gleeful and diabolical fun than before.

Watching Kate prance around with her kids as if life is just one big photo opportunity and Jon hitting on 22 year old party girls is the type of morbid fun that is so common in the 21st century. Expecting Jon and Kate to suddenly act right is like expecting the whole nation to all of a sudden forget who these two are.

It ain’t gonna happen.

It's no secret that children are usually the ones that are hurt the most when their parent's relationship ends. Many times one parent works to turn the children against the other.

Kate Gosselin, star of the TLC reality show Jon And Kate Plus Eight is no different from many other divorcing couples and is now said to be turning their brood, 8 year old twins and 5 year old sextuplets, against their newly single (and dating)
father, Jon Gosselin.

Jon has become quite the bachelor since he and Kate called it quits earlier this year. Since the split, Jon has been spotted with a number of younger women,
but one woman has really gotten under Kate's skin, 22 year old Hailey Glassman. Hailey is the daughter of the doctor that performed a tummy tuck on her years ago.

A source told Star, "Kate told the kids that Hailey is gross because she smokes and drinks and that she makes Daddy do bad things too."

Kate's professional relationship with Hailey's dad hasn't espoused any warm feelings for her - even before Jon and Hailey made tabloid headlines.

A friend of Hailey's dished, "Kate never liked Hailey. I mean Kate doesn't like anyone really, but she never tried to get to know Hailey even though
she was friends with Hailey's parents. I'm not sure if she and Hailey ever even had a conversation."

The only thing that surprises me about this post is that Jon has actually introduced the kids to Hailey waaaaaayyyy too soooooonnnn. But knowing the tabloids, that may not be true -- I can't imagine a time when she would have.

I'm not surprised that by all accounts Kate is dishing Jon with the kids -- that is all too common in divorce, and she just doesn't seem like the type who would avoid doing it at all costs. It's not ok, but it's not surprising. Remember she did start the publicity war by doing the People article before the divorce was even announced.

 

[Claudia1]

Are they actually divorced or is it not yet final?

Inquiring minds want to know.......
