Jon and Kate Plus 8 Official Thread - Part 6

[DMRick]

She doesn't call him names or anything (at least not in print!) but her last People article was about Jon and listed out her issues with him. (the babysitter, how she hopes he is haunted one day by his actions etc) The quote says she doesn't talk about Jon. She does and often. Now on the other hand, so far as I know, Jon has never talked about Kate in a negative way. but I didn't read his articles.

Depends on if you believe 'sources'. Lots of digs in those sources. Just Jon wearing the shirt is another dig IMO.

I guess I was thinking that you meant she actually said bad things about him. The things you mention, IMO are pretty tame. The babysitter and his actions, I didn't really think was a put down, just commenting on where he is at at this time in his life. That stuff we can all see. I mostly hear her talk about herself and the kids and their future. We'll see how Larry King goes tonight.

Just like on the show..he gets his little digs in, but he's quiet about them. Can you imagine if Kate wore the same shirt?

in all fairness, he hasn't been afforded the opportunity to do many interviews. that's his own fault, IMO .. but that doesn't change that fact. TMZ has an interesting take on it: http://www.tmz.com/2009/08/25/jon-gosselin-lies-shirt-kate-gosselin-jon-and-kate-plus-eight-photo/

In the end, it's all so immature (and typical of a divorce?) .. the public airing of the dirty laundry. Coming from two people who wanted to handle things privately. Yeah, right.

More from this morning:
http://www.popeater.com/2009/08/25/...l-job-not-reality-tv-show-with-kate-gosselin/

and the show must go on. we can't forget that... well, Jon and Kate both remind us of that every chance they get, so it's impossible to forget.

that's what she'll talk about tonight, IMO .. unless Larry takes it a different direction. I wonder if she's on for the whole hour, especially with the news of Michael Jackson's death being ruled a homicide?

 

[TanyaLovesPooh]

So is Jon confirming by his shirt that he...lies lies lies lies...

 

[WaltD4Me]

So is Jon confirming by his shirt that he...lies lies lies lies...

Again, the shirt is Jon thinking he is sooooooooooooooooooo cool and clever. However, most things he does just makes me think he is soooooooooooooooooooooo immature.

 

[MAKmom]

"Daddy why does your shirt say LIES LIES LIES LIES"?

Jon Gosselin just wants to be an average Joe.

"I wish I had a 9-to-5 job instead of the nightmare I'm living. This is 24/7," the 32-year-old reality TV dad told US Magazine Monday. "I don't even want to do taping for the show anymore."

Citing burnout over his contract commitments and the endless promotional appearances, Gosselin implied that, at $75,000-per-episode, he feels underpaid.

"I have two houses and eight children to take care of, and I need to work," the sour Gosselin said as he helped his kids with a lemonade stand to benefit a local fire department.

The divorce is playing out on national television but there's an even bigger war between Jon and Kate Gosselin being waged away from the cameras - the battle for bucks.

Jon and Kate are accusing each other of financial deception, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.

Sources close to Jon say he is convinced assets are being hidden from him while other sources tell RadarOnline.com that Kate is furious Jon is wasting so much money - money she believes should go to their children.

Jon has taken girlfriend Hailey Glassman to France, spent a week in The Hamptons with Kate Major, bought a BMW, traded it back in, shopped for a Porsche for Hailey, rented an expensive apartment in New York and indulged in other cash-burning activities.

While Kate has been allowed by her network to make various TV appearances explaining her actions and correcting inaccurate stories about her, Jon had to cancel a cable interview at the last minute. He has made money by granting an exclusive interview to a magazine.

Jon is now hinting that he wants off the show. And in the meantime he will host a pool party in Los Angeles and has been very open about his desire to engage in other money-making projects, despite the restrictions of his TLC contract. He has been in talks with the Ed Hardy company, whose logo has been blurred every time Jon wears one on the TV show.

The big problem, according to Kate sources, is the soon to be ex wife thinks the cash is all going to fuel Jon's Suddenly Single lifestyle and not being put away for the kids.

Jon & Kate Plus 8 is not the couple's only source of income. They have books and speaking engagements but with divorce suddenly looming, that may not be as lucrative in the future.

So with the expenses of separate lifestyles mounting, the battle over Benjamins is turning ugly.

Reality mom Kate Gosselin will reveal her innermost pain to Larry King tonight, or at least that is what CNN hopes.

In online promos for tonight’s “Larry King Live,” the show promises that Kate “opens up on her private pain made public... the end of her marriage to Jon and life as a single mom!”

In two previous interviews (one live, one taped), Gosselin was very uneasy speaking away from prepared talking points to Meredith Vieira and Regis Philbin.

Gosselin, 34, reportedly snapped on NBC staffers after she was asked about personal questions on live television.

King is one of cable TV’s best interviewers and could be a challenge for Gosselin.

TLC has reportedly barred Jon Gosselin from giving TV interviews without its permission, while Kate Gosselin has been allowed to give three interviews in two weeks.

That move has led to speculation that TLC and Kate Gosselin are looking at a TV future without Jon Gosselin as a regular star on “Jon & Kate Plus 8.”\

The gossip site Radra Online and other sources report Kate Gosselin is trying to repair her image as a role model. She lost clothing and book deals this summer after the tabloids had a field day with the couple’s divorce.

Next weekend, Jon Gosselin will be at MGM Grand's Wet Republic in Las Vegas to host a huge celebrity pool party.

Jon Gosselin's new celebrity attention campaign is rumored to be part of a plan to get him released from TLC's “Jon & Kate Plus 8.”

Producers for TLC, which produces “Jon & Kate Plus 8,” are reportedly upset with Gosselin's lack of involvement with the show, which has seen a huge ratings plunge from its opening in June.

Last week, Fox's Octomom special trounced “Jon & Kate”, which fell out of the top 25 cable ratings list.

The ratings for “Jon & Kate” are now below last spring's ratings, despite a ton of PR for the show.

The couple will be divorced by the end of September, adding to speculation that TLC will focus its efforts on Kate Gosselin.

In case anyone would like to go to Jon's pool party on Saturday, here's the info:

Newly single Jon Gosselin, of TLC's massively popular "Jon and Kate Plus Eight" has been seen everywhere these days, so it was only a matter of time before he came to Vegas.

On Saturday, Gosselin takes up residence at MGM Grand's uber pool Wet Republic, where he'll host a "daylife" party with his buddies from 11 a.m.-7 p.m.

Gosselin will be in town to take part in the MAGIC clothing convention, which begins on Monday, August 31. Insiders are speculating that Gosselin is about to be named spokesman for the Ed Hardy line, as he recently met with Hardy designer Christian Audigier about a "business opportunity."

Unlike his estranged wife Kate who hardly interacts with fans outside of book signings, Jon Gosselin took some time out of his day to greet some well-wishers who assembled outside the fence of his Pennsylvania estate.

Kate is currently on the offensive to clear up rumors about herself and the ongoing drama with Jon. She will be chatting with Larry King on Tuesday to “set the record straight.”

“Kate has always taken the high road in this thing,” the source close to her told RadarOnline.com. “She doesn’t talk about Jon or bad mouth him at all. Kate mostly talks about her own feelings or emotions. That’s all. And she’ll continue to do this.”

Hmmm wonder how the kids feel? (also being forced to sell lemonade for an episode of their show/life) Does no one else see the tragic irony in this? Hellooooooo....

I think Jon has lost count of his houses LOL.

I think the shirt is a dig at TLC.

 

[Tweevil]

Funny shirt he was wearing... was the shirt statement about him or one for each of his ex and soon to be ex's? Not that I know all of their names but isn't it....

Kate - Deanna - Kate2 - Hailey...

hmmm things to ponder.... doesn't he realize he's making a donkey of himself?

 

[madge]

good thing Kate has a bodyguard to protect her from the paps .. since the pictures make it look like she's shielding him

Jon & the kids at a baseball game. Haven't we been there, done that, already?

Not watching LKL .. is anyone else? What's happening?

 

[DMRick]

He was gentle to her LOL.
Nothing new. She would be a nurse if she weren't a mom, or if she needed to support the kids. The show will go year by year, and if it doesn't seem to be a good idea, it will stop. Said the custody is peaceful. The show was not responsible for the end of the marriage. Kids doing well, considering. Yes they have help..she needs it with all the kids and why not have it. Jon is a good father who made some bad decisions. She's lonely but busy, and not looking to get a companion. Admitted she is a control freak and she wants to control who Jon brings to the house LOL!

Everything she said was in response to questions asked. All of above not in exact words.

I did see in the promo as I was flipping through that Kathie Lee is going to be on... she's not been Kate's biggest fan. I wonder if that is still the case?

Kate was in LA to interview for a talk show, per one of the blogs.

Yup, just watched it. I thought Kate handled herself well. Larry King was pretty ruthless with his questions, practically forcing Kate to answer. One question he asked concerned her dating. She said she couldn't imagine it or something to that effect. Then she said she's lonely and it was sad to see. Larry later asked her if she was a control freak (duh!) and she said she is. But that there are things that can be positive from being one...driven, determined to finish things, persevering, etc. He also asked if there would be a season 6 and Kate's answer was that they were filming season 5 now. He then pursued the question and she said that maybe there would be. All in all, I thought it was an interesting interview. Larry was pretty forthright but Kate answered pretty well too.

 

[madge]

I caught the tail end of the interview on the tivo .. interesting that Larry didn't realize Jon had brought a girlfriend over to the house.

and now LK is talking with Kathie Lee like Kate wasn't even there. LOL.
