If she gets a laptop she can get online and see all the ugliness.
At 9yo, I am guessing the girls are already using a computer. They start the kids in "K" now with computers!!

that's bothered me for a long time. the TLC crew, the paparazzi photographers and even the fans that take the children's pictures ...
I don't understand why on earth Jon and Kate Gosselin believe this is a healthy environment for the children. To be so obsessed with fame and money is something I cannot even imagine.
Jon, Jon, Jon.He is such an idiot. That video is ridiculous. What kind of father just stands there while a strange camera man films his 2 little girls in the backseat?? What is wrong with them? How is this a good thing for the kids? How will this give them a better life? How will all these 'life experiences' benefit them when their privacy is so invaded? . . . It was just so disturbing to see that flock of paps form a semi-circle around Cara & Mady and even more disturbing that Jon let them. If that were my DH, he would've been punching cameras left and right to move them out of the way.
I don't think Kate needs to 'coach' the girls. Jon does it himself every time he answers the phone when he is with the family. His mind and spirit needs to be with the children. (Kate, too, but it seems like Jon is always on the phone when he is with the kids.)Weren't they there this am too, when kate dropped them off? I guess they must have been if I know who did the morning run!
I can't watch the video of the pick up, but when you say they act like they don't like their father, it makes me so sad. I worry that Kate may poison them against him. And not that he doesn't deserve some of that, but still, he is their dad. I wouldn't wish their lives on anybody.
This is what I was thinking too. DD uses a computer at school and has her own at home. But she's restricted to sites and her parents aren't in the middle of a nasty divorce with crap all over the internet.I know they are probably already using a computer but for her to have her own readily available is different than using one in school.
I agree but in this case I believe that he would need to show respect to his daughters before he is able to get that respect back. I'm not saying its right but just that this divorce is obviously taking a huge toll on them.Mady's voice was quite rude, I thought. The comment didn't bother me...my kids have done the same, but the tone :sad2

I really hope he was just messing with the paps when he said what their gifts were. And while I don't believe that every child should be treated identically in gift giving, I always try to treat them fairly monetarily, such as buying a TV for one stepdaughter I bought equivalent presents for other stepdaughter, just not a TV as she didn't need one. Even if it was a top of the line laptop, doesn't a 4 wheeler cost a lot more.Also, I try to treat all stepdaughters fairly like that when they are both going to be together at an event like Christmas or in this case a shared birthday where the disparity would be obvious.
Anyway, that's just my 2 cents.
it was a good time! I was hoping to see TotalSnowWhite last Friday, but our paths didn't cross![]()
I saw Paula Deen at Casey's Corner last Friday, resisted the urge to comment on Kate.She is LOVELY in person. Very kind to the fans who approached her. I was so surprised to see her at Casey's, though. Her family took up almost all the tables, LOL!
for anyone with a trip coming up .. the crowds from free dining were evident this week. it might have been because of fall break in many school districts and the Columbus day holiday weekend, but it was crowded this week compared to the same week last year.

UPDATE: Jon Gosselin has a double-D problem on his hands -- as in his daughter's name is misspelled on the cake. It's Mady -- not Maddy.
A person from a mysterious entertainment show ordered the cake Jon Gosselin is schlepping to the big birthday.
![]()
An intrepid TMZ reporter called the Cupcake Cafe in NYC. The owner told us she got several calls from "a person from"Entertainment Something," ordering the cake and asking permission to shoot inside the bakery when Jon came a callin'.
When Jon arrived at the shop he had his eye on the cupcakes -- thus the name, Cupcake Cafe. Jon was surprised to learn the person from "Entertainment Something" had already ordered a cake. The owner thinks Jon paid cash, but that begs the question -- did "Entertainment Something" ultimately foot the $94.00 bill?
We checked TV Guide but no "Entertainment Something" is listed. So we took a shot in the dark and contacted "Entertainment Tonight." The rep said her show absolutely did not pay for Jon's cake.
But when Jon got the cake, an entertainment show was inside the shop shooting the "action." We do not know if the crew from "Entertainment Something" was inside the store, but"Entertainment Tonight"was.
Stay tuned.
Well, who knows how true this is AND how on earth it's even known:

Gosselins Reach Truce for Twins' Birthdays

Jon Gosselin with misspelled birthday cake

Jon Gosselin had been gearing up for an all-out battle and instead found a rare break in the animosity with Kate.
The patriarch of eight saw his twins Mady and Cara for their 9th birthdays at their Pennsylvania home on Thursday without having to cut short the visit as he had originally feared.
"I'm staying until the kids go to bed," he said during a break in the visit. "We're trying to be cordial for Mady and Cara."
Jon, 32, arrived at the celebration with a vanilla cake from New York's upscale Cupcake Café that had his daughter's name misspelled "Maddy" with an extra "d."
The store's Ann Warren says the cake was ordered over the telephone by an entertainment show she couldn't remember the name, only that it was "Entertainment something" for Jon to pick up, and that the woman caller spelled out the name.
The woman asked if it would be all right for people to film inside the bakery, and Warren said that would not be a problem. There were paparazzi and camera crews waiting when Jon got there. He looked at different cupcakes, but then Warren brought down the cake she had decorated. Jon seemed genuinely surprised, according to Warren.
The birthday visit marked a brief respite in the war between the reality TV couple now in the midst of a bitter divorce. On Wednesday, Jon had accused Kate of trying to change plans they had worked out to spend the birthday together by insisting that he only spend two hours in the late afternoon and early evening with the kids.
Last night on ET, Jon was buying the girl's swatch watches...great gift selection for each Cara and Mady!
There -- that's my positive Gosselin comment for the day.![]()
That was so sad and disgusting. I blame Jon for that fiasco. He made such a big deal about today and their birthday etc...of course the papparazi was going to be there.![]()
On a side note, has anybody noticed that Jon has said hardly anything to the paparazzi in the videos taken in about the last 24 hours? He just mumbles a couple of words under his breath (sort of reminds me of the way he used to talk with Kate when he was on the show)? Like when one of them at the fence said "what did Kate say when you got here?" He just said "Hello"
Except, of course, when he took the time to compliment Kate (and defend her) about the skit she did on Leno.
Big change -- wonder what caused it? Wonder if it will stay that way ie. I'm hoping.
New Details: Jon Gosselin's Birthday Gifts to his Twins Revealed
http://www.etonline.com/news/2009/10/79530/index.html
ET has exclusively learned what Jon Gosselin has given his twin girls for their ninth birthdays. Read on for details
Sources tell only ET that Jon's birthday gift to daughter Mady was a laptop, while he gifted daughter Cara with an ATV that will be delivered in seven days.
Check back here for the latest.
I thought he bought them watches?
At 9yo, I am guessing the girls are already using a computer. They start the kids in "K" now with computers!!Heck, I was in the APPLE store on Saturday and saw some little tykes using computers...so cute as their little hands were working the mouse!
I know they are probably already using a computer but for her to have her own readily available is different than using one in school.
And the cake - I think it looked more like a cake for Kate. I don't have girls and my kids aren't that old yet but it looked very fancy (at least the Mady's with the misspelled name) for a 9 year old I thought. What about fun, bright colors or a favorite sport, tv show, theme, something like that??? It just looked way too grown up for such little kids.
I can't get past watches for 9 year olds?? Really?? I hate wearing my wedding ring anywhere because I know how much we paid for that and I would hate to loose it and have to replace it. A 9 year old is bound to misplace a watch. What happened to "normal" toys like a DS or something like that - maybe even a nice trip to Disney to get a break???? (I'm sure they have whatever they want so it makes the gift shopping hard but a watch for a kid???)
Do you think that's because of the girl from the van yesterday that put a hault to the interview from the street in NYC? As soon as she came out and told him to tell the pap he had to go, his attitude totally changed.
While I'm sure they can get just about anything, another ATV?? Cara can't ride Jon's when he's not there? Or maybe this will lead to some daddy/daughter time since they both will have one?? It seems like you'd be trying to save money and not blow it if you're taking your family off tv (your source of income) with no other job lined up... And the lap top - I hope someone (even if it's the nanny) has enough sense to put some limits or block sites or something on it before Mady starts using it.
I agree Madge! I don't understand why people choose to put personal photos of weddings, children, etc....on my space and facebook for all to see. I can't believe some of the people who post on youtube videos of themselves singing and they sound awful! Don't these people realize that a search on the internet could reveal information that they might not want out there??
Fame and money are why Kate wants to continue the show. Z on TV had an article today that said J & K plus 8 is dead. Kate plus 8 is on life support. They have lost 4 out of 5 viewers because of all the lies, deceit, etc.....
I'm glad the twins got nice gifts from Jon. At least they are getting to share some of the money they earned over the past 5 yrs.
I am so thankful for my friends and relatives who post photos of themselves and their family. Especially my SIL who lives across the country who posts photos of my nephew. It is just not the same thing as those looking for fame and fortune.
And yes, that looks like the other bodyguard.

It's so funny how words/actions can be translated/mistranslated in the media. In this article on MSN (http://tv.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=435613>1=28103), the link from the main page says "Jon doesn't like Kate's Leno skit", I guess because he says the timing is messed up.
But as those of us in the know understand, he said that because the timing of when she filmed it was messed up from the time they aired it.
Who knows what other misunderstandings are out there??
That is a sad video clip... it looks like Kate was giving them a bit of a talk before they got out of the car..maybe "just ignore them, don't talk, don't look at them, etc." I know a lot of people are not Kate fans and think she puts on a "oh I'm all alone" act...but she looked so tired here...and at one point while she was walking back to her car I thought she was going to cry...there was just a look on her face. I know that they brought this on themselves...but still...no one deserves to have all those cameras in their face all the time.
I am starting to feel like I play a part in them being there since I click on the links....![]()
If I were them, I would hope my father protected me from scary situations like that, not encouraged it.![]()
Poor Mady looks ticked off in these pictures. Is the large black guy the other body guard?
This is sad coming from a rag mag:
I've been getting a lot of emails from readers lately asking when the non-stop coverage of Jon and Kate Gosselin will come to an end.
I'll be honest—I don't have an answer for ya...
You see, stories about the train wreck reality stars do really well around here, and over at the entertainment news shows and celebrity rags. I promise you if they didn't, we wouldn't be covering them.
I know what you're thinking: the media created them. I agree—somewhat. Sure we all had a hand in making them bigger than they probably had to be, but that's in the past now.
You want the Gosselin hysteria to go away? You know what you have to do. Just stop paying attention to the stories about them, and I promise you the Gosselins will go away.

I'm sure there are alot of misunderstandings out there. Last night on Showbiz Tonight they made a big thing of Kate taping that Jay Leno segment. They wanted to know why she was taping a skit with everything that was going on, like it was just taped this week. One of the links here says it was taped August 24th. They also made a big deal out of Kate buying a new ring to replace her wedding ring. I know Kate talked about getting a new ring, but it sounded like she hadn't bought it or ordered yet or anything. There was something else too that I know was wrong, but I can't remember now what it was.
