Jon and Kate Plus 8, Official Thread--Part 7

[WaltD4Me]

So if Jon is getting paid for this, is all the money going to him? Or is he going to give some of it to the kids accounts? Hopefully it is to pay back whatever he was not supposed to take from the money market account and not to buy some new ring for Hailey.


It's just disgusting. Demands filming to stop from TLC that gives a paycheck to the family, but gets money to stream this.

I was wondering the exact same thing. I've heard before the ET will and does pay for interviews. Are they paying Jon? I don't know, but I can't help but think they must be. I couldn't believe ET was filiming him shopping for their birthday presents and cake...but the live stream? Blows my mind.

What I can't understand is ... how can Jon NOT see how hypocritical and creepy the live steam is? How can he not see for all his ranting about the kids not being filmed that this makes him look like a fool? How can he not realize what a rotten thing it is do to Mady and Cara? I. don't. get. it.

I'm confused by your statement. What is he getting paid for?




A tangent on payment for TLC--they made it to their 100th episode and I would think they would get residuals. But not sure.

 

[TanyaLovesPooh]

I must be confused (imagine that!). I thought the e-mail said he could see them for 2 hours today and 2 hours this weekend.

4-6 on birthday (it is a school day so she wouldn't get anymore time than that either). She said Saturday noon until Sunday at 5.

Personally, if I were Kate I wouldn't be text/emailing him again any time soon.

"It could be WWIII when I get home," Jon told ET on Wednesday as he went shopping for their birthday presents. "She's trying to change custody but I won't allow that. She's basically saying itt would be too stressful to the kids to have both of us here, like we originally planned."

Keep checking ET for the live stream of Jon's arrival home!

Now I get what you guys are talking about---again further proof in the pudding that Jon didn't pull the plug for the kid's sake...but for HIS sake.

 

[MAKmom]

MAKmom - do you have a link for this? It's got lots of good info and I'd like to include the stuff in my time line with a link. If you would be so kind as to share, I'd really appreciate it!

My personal observation--but when I witness someone sharing "a lot" on something like this--it tells me they are embellishing a little bit.

For example--I have a facebook friend who CONSTANTLY is singing her new husband's praises. After witnessing a horrific argument that they had one time, while I no doubt that she loves him--I think she is over the top and embellishes a little bit to make herself (and her husband) feel more confidant.

That's kind of how I'm viewing the statements by Jon and other people who "out of character" seem to constantly remind the world anything having to do with love and emotion. Maybe it's the cynic in me, but I don't believe Mady is calling him 24.7 and ratting him out.

I remember being her age and going to my dad's house. I didn't want to be there. I made sure to provide my mother as much info as possible "in my defense". But there was no way for me to call her 24/7. I believe I did call collect once that summer and remember speaking over the operator to my evil step sister to accept the charges.

My visits were finally shortened after that summer.

I don't think any of the children would hate Kate that much--so no, I'm not buying that Mady is his little spy that gives him the full report of all that goes on in the G-compound when he is not around and it is his way of validating his involvement and love for his children with the public.

ITA w/you, Lisa!!!

I think it is "embellishment"! I indeed bet Mady calls Jon but no way close to how he wants us all to think...after all how much free time does Mady have in her (school) day to be calling Jon...and to be all alone (without her mother, brothers and sisters around) and on the phone with Jon to fill him in.

I'm pretty sure the residuals are only on network, non-reality shows.

 

[MAKmom]

Welcome to 7! Madge, where are you?

MAKmom: Ok, I did not make it through the whole 8 minute street interview of Jon yesterday, and it was posted that he said TLC pays for the apt (he was apparently standing outside of his building).

He did mention in your blurb that if it was a hotel, no one would be flipping the bill, so does he pay for it or not?

He got such a bad reaction from the ET panels maybe he is changing his story. I'm starting to think he is saying what he thinks will make him look better. The Vibe I'm getting IMO only is he wants everyone to like him.
OR

I think he does not realize we take everything he says literally like he is in court. Men do not give information like woman do.

Woman are like what did he say, what did she say & so on.

 

[WaltD4Me]

The last week or so, every time I see Jon interviewed he always manages to get in that he knows everything that is going on in the PA home, as Mady calls him and tells him everything...tells him that they do NOT want to do the show anymore and that Mommy is saying bad things about you.........

Do you all think Mady really is calling as much as Jon says filling him in on every little thing going on in the house?

It wouldn't surprise me. I think it was Mady or Cara who called Kate about the babysitter Jon got the day she went to the house on his custody day.

I find it curious though, that even though Jon "outed" Mady for calling him and telling him everything, he has not mentioned at all what the kids have said about the show not filiming anymore. He says he talks to the kids a hundred times a day, so you would think he would telling everyone if they told him they were happy about the show not filiming.

Disclaimer: I am NOT saying the kids should still be filming. I am saying maybe Jon should have sat them down and talked to them about it and why they wouldn't be filming anymore before announcing it on LKL.

 

[floridafam]

etonline has gone too far. Disgusting.

Didn't Jon refuse her entry on a while back when she wanted to watch the kids?

I think it's perefectly fine to make fun of his shoes. What kind of twit wears Gucci tennis shoes like that? He looks like an idiot.

I love the JMZ skit on Leno. Very funny.

 

[KristiKelly]

Even if Mady is calling him like that, why would he rat her out on national tv and risk having Kate make her life a living hell for it???? Does he not see that making statements like that - true or not - will effect the kids?

Yes, he refused her entry on his custody day. Birthdays are considered joint custody days so neither can be refused.

Yes, he's an idiot, but to say he doesn't care about his kids because he wears expensive shoes is also idiotic. Kate wears expensive shoes as well...

He's an idiot.

 

[DVCisME]

I'm a little suprised this hasn't been brought up. Does anyone else remember the episode that was about Cara and Mady's birthday? They came home from school and were supposed to do something for their birthday, but Mady was having a tough day. I could only picture the same thing happening this year except times 10.

Hmmm.....the only thing I heard Jon say was that TLC was at the PA house filming (this summer) and the kids were very hot and they stopped what they were doing, ran in the house, put on their swimsuits and went to the pool....Jon went on to say, they did not want to film, they were too hot, they wanted to swim instead. Now that being said, I have no clue if Jon was even at the house that day OR that Mady called him and filled him in!!

Yes, I remember that. I felt bad that she was being taped that day.

Honestly no one could possibly be this stupid. My own little theory, and I've had it for a while is that TLC, Jon and Kate had this little agreement to get Jon off the show and out of the contract and the marriage, but he had to take the fall. Everyone had to hate him and things he did have to make Kate look better. And then they would give Jon whatever he wanted. Now Kate screwed up pretty big on Monday with the 'I have no money, but oooooh let me tell you about my new ring' tour, but THIS.........this would be the ultimate in hanging yourself by your own rope.

He can't be that stupid, right? And if he is that stupid, he needs his own 24/7 babysitter.

ET should NOT air this in respect to those girls.

This girl is going to get the biggest ulcer, trying to appease both parents.

 

[newtodis]

I know some disagree, but I agree with Kate about it being too stressful for the kids. I don't know what her motive in saying it was, but things have gotten SO bad that I think it really would be too stressful and better for the kids for them not to be together at the birthday. Yes, it's very sad they can't put their differences aside for the birthday, but that ship has sailed, it ain't gonna happen.

I agree. Like 3PrettyPrincesses, I came from a pretty nasty divorce. My parents do not speak and sat on opposite sides of the church at my own wedding - which was the first time my dad had seen his first grandchild who was 9 months old at the time (and the only time he's ever seen either of my kids - he's never seen DS2 in person - his choice!). I kind of took delight in having "assigned seating" at the reception and making them sit at the same table - pay backs are heck some times! Anyways, I have one picture that I forced both of them to take so I have one picture with me, my mom and my dad and DH. As much anger and other issues I have with them, it's one of the few wedding pictures I have displayed in my house. I cannot tell you how much it hurts when my boys ask "who's that man?" when they look at the picture. I wish J&K could put it aside for a couple of hours but if they can't they really need to split the day. Give the girls a GREAT birthday or argee to celebrate with them seperately - either Jon take Mady (or Cara) today and Cara another day or both celebrate with one tonight and swap another night. I'm sure they'd love two parties!

Do you all think Mady really is calling as much as Jon says filling him in on every little thing going on in the house?

I hope that she's not but if she's getting attention from it, she's going to keep doing it. Jon needs to learn a blanket answer for things like that and quit reacting (unless it's something that warrants a reaction like beating the kids or something) to things that happen when Kate's with them. The twins are old enough to play one against another and will continue to do so if they're given the chance. I would like to think Jon's not rewarding this in any way or putting it out there either asking flat out for her (or any of them) to call him or telling them stuff like "well you can call me when Mommy's mean". Don't play those games with your kids!

I'll add links too for now on.

Thank you so much!! I appreciate it!

 

[daughtersrus]

Why?



To me it was a nice funny change to go from a ranting Jon on almost every channel on tv to seeing this hilarious skit with Kate!!!

First of all, the "acting" was terrible. Besides that, why is she there shooting a skit when her kids are at home. She said that everything that she does is for her kids, how in the world is being on Leno for them?

 

[MAKmom]

THIS IS VERY VERY FUNNY I DO GIVE KUDOS TO KATE ON THIS ONE

This was AWESOME! Kate did a great job...I'm shocked she was so good.

PS: This is the first link on this new thread that worked for me. The E!Online was down & a few others.
