Jon and Kate Plus 8 Official Thread - Part 8

Her father has talked about her?
Yes, I know her brother and sister in law, since that is what we are talking about. But other than that, I am talking about people that know her. People that have nothing to gain. People that were actually acquaintences of her. Not the rag mags, or fired nannies.
It was Aug that the incident happened and Spring when the interview took place? I didn't realize it was that long apart. I have to admit I didn't keep a good timeline, but I did think it was shortly after they were no longer on the show. So if they were so concerned for the kids, I still don't get why they waited until after they were off the show, and after that incident. They were willing to still be on the show for pay..so why go to the press?

Her father was quoted is some article during the really crazy time of the train-wreck, when Jon and Kate were both taking turns daily with the tabloids telling them more info each day and Kate went on GMA for no reason other than to tell the world that Jon had emptied her bank acct. He was quoted as saying something like (this is not the exact qoute, this is how I remember it ), "My daughter craves attention, if she is not getting it on her show, she will get it from somewhere else"
 
Just popping in to say...

I miss seeing the kiddos... I wonder if they are getting bigger... losing teeth (:goodvibes)... anyone seen any good pics lately?

there were pics of an Easter egg hunt in the front yard last week.
 

Here's the make-up article about how nice Kate is.

Does it LOOK like the make up people like Kate? :lmao:;)

anyway, I have to giggle; in picture 5 a caption states 'no bodyguard in the trailer' however in picture 4 there he is! You know protecting her inside the make-up room from all the pros and stars!:rotfl2:

This is Maks article. I can't find the makeup people. Can you look and link again if I haven't messed up. Thanks!
 
I have a neighbor who is a nurse and only works on weekends and has 5 kids. Her husband has the kids on the weekend. If Kate wanted a real nursing job, she could have one. I'm sure she could find some private hospital or nursing home where she wouldn't be bothered by the public. I wonder if she'll have her book as a prop this week on dwts?

that's funny, LOL!

I read the article and missed the captions. :upsidedow

He wasn't shown in the picture that said he wasn't there, was he? He was in a different picture.

She also said she didn't consult with him. I guess one source said you had to go through her body guard, but this person was stating she didn't have to.:

'Kate was approachable and never consulted anyone to speak to me, an outsider inside a closed set, nor did I ever witness her consult with any bodyguard prior to speaking to anyone!'

Yes, he was in a picture in the make up trailer, but not the one they chose to caption with 'no bodyguard in the trailer'. Is he there for someone besides Kate?

I'm sure the person in this article isn't only out for 15 minutes of fame or out for what they can gain by coming forward with this info.

What do you think of Kate's make-up on DWTS?
 
Beth...abruptly went home during the Utah trip, never to be seen again.

Hmmmm, if I recall on the ski trip, Beth had quite a scene with Maddie. Sort of chasing her up the stairs & sending her to bed for misbehaving. I never thought about it before, but maybe that had something to do with Beth's absence. Perhaps Kate didn't care for Beth's reaction to Maddie. Sort of a " my kid can do no wrong?' perhaps. I did think it was funny at the time that they mentioned Beth leaving & Jodi coming the next day to help with the fligth home. Thought it was wierd that they would do that. I would have thought they would have just made the plans to all go back at the same time. Seemed like a last minute thing for Jodi to come out.

I always thought it was crazy that expected Jodi to do so much. THe woman had 4 small kids of her own. Yet Kate acted like she owed her to help. Drop her family and fly to Utah at a moments notice to help Kate home because she ticked off yet another friend? Jodi would have her own 4 plus kates 8 ROUTINELY, but did anyone ever see Kate watch Jodi's kids? On one show they were talking about it on the couch and the producer asked her why she didn't ever watch Jodis kids, and she looked at them like they were nuts and said "because that would be 12 kids, that's like illegal!" while laughing. It was TOTALLY lost on her because she is so narcisistic that Jodi handled 12 all the time with 8 not being hers. Shouldn't it be easier if 8 are yours and in your own home and you only have 4 extra? Selfish selfish woman.

He's prob there for Kate, but I guess I didn't get the big deal of the writer saying he wasn't there when the one picture was taken. I thought the point the gal (with a name LOL) was making, was that she was able to talk with Kate without going through the bodyguard (and I thought she said she has been in the make-up room in the past. I assume she has talked with past dancers). I actually don't care if she has a bodyguard or not..but with some of the hate stuff getting said, I think at this point I would want one.

I think Kate should be doing her own make-up..but then I've often thought on this show that the gals should be doing their own make-up. Some of the outfits and the make-up are just terrible. I wonder if the dancers have a say in the make-up.
 

Thanks! I'll go look!!

BTW, her makeup has been terrible on that show so I'm thinking the makeup person must really not like her, lol.

OK, nice makeup in that picture. A lot, but nice. But for the 2 shows--ick. I thought last weeks was so, so bad. I know they were trying to make her look angry with the makeup and they did the job well, it just made her look ugly.

aahhh. Baby Benny's not a baby anymore. He's like 3 years old. So cute.
It seems like they had planned in advance for Jodi to fly out one day and back the next to help them travel, but I might be wrong. Beth had to get back for something maybe. Can you imagine the jet lag? PA to Utah and back to PA the next day! :scared:
What do you tell your kids when friends and family just disappear?

Earlier Kate's worst TV moments were posted. Those video clips are over the top, no context needed. The crayola factory really stands out. They were at the CRAYOLA factory and she refused to let them use the art supplies.
What was she planning for their clothes when she is screaming "don't scoot, NO GRASS STAINS" to a bunch of 4 year olds? Who cares?

I liked Jon so much back then. What happened? After the Toys R Us incident (it's awful) he says something profound. Jon says "I can take it. The way you talk to me. But other people...you look so bad to other people, and you're better than that. I'm embarrassed for you." Kate says. "Hmm. I really don't notice other people."
 
Looks like Jon is ready is bury the hatchet if included on Kate plus Eight. http://www.tmz.com/2010/04/10/jon-gosselin-kate-gosselin-reality-show-tlc/ He is such a looser...

In some circles, his behavior is tantamount to blackmail.



As for Kate's employment--why oh why do people keep insisting upon their "approved" employment arrangements. Claiming that it is best for the kids is simply a smoke screen.


Has anyone read this week's tabloid fodder. Angelina Jolie (who actually has some acting chops and makes the mega bucks for it) is being raked over the coals b/c poor Brad is left with daddy duty.

WTH? In this day and age--why are we judging women so harshly when they do not have "jobs" that follow the status quo and cater to the kids school schedule?

Such a double standard. And I'm far from a women's lib type person. It really though is demonstrative of how society still views women inappropriately if they do not fit the cookie cutter image of what a mom should be doing.
 
Aren't the littlest kids wearing this season's Gymboree line? And Josh is always wearing name shirts I've heard (aeropostale). I think these are product placement clothes so, no technically they aren't buying them...except with their privacy. ;)

possibly--but those businesses have been around quite a while and their stuff does appear in thrift stores btw.

I shop thrift (in addition to brand new) and I'm a bit picky and find LOTS of labels at second hand stores. It really isn't all that hard to do.

And depending on your luck--you can find some pretty big names.

ETA: Most of what I have purchased for the new baby was purchased second hand...one of the outfits is Ralph Lauren. I paid but a fraction of whatever it's original purchaser paid in retail.

I do have to agree about the double standards. I for one am not telling Kate what she should do for a living but you do have to admit her 15 mins of fame is up!
