~ Kate Plus Eight ~

[Dee77]

Sorry, it just irked me-I guess I let the tabloids assumptions get to me. If I would see my dh wearing the same colored shirt as the same as Kate, and how close and cozy they seem to be-I wouldn't be very comfortable at all with the situation. I was watching the Kardashian's and Chris Jenner insisted that Kim her oldest dd now have a body guard, and he was telling her all the different assignments he had. He told her, it is best to keep rotating within his company, to guard different celebrities, so you don't get to comfortable, otherwise, you begin to let your guard down. Kim asked him, if he ever gets re-assigned and he said sure. It can be a few days, weeks or months, but it is good to keep rotating.

I'm betting her days at Cabo, were a gift from the Emmy's, don't they usually give a vacation to a spa somewhere, in those gift bags. So Kate is probably calling it work, since it had to do with her working at the Emmy's.. this is just my guess.

I agree that Kate and Steve are way too comfy, cozy. He's her bodyguard and yet never seems to have a problem with carrying her stuff or holding on to the children while going through the crowds. I would think that his vantage point/attention should always be towards the crowds and surrounding area etc, that he should blend in to the background, not be so prominent. It seems like she never holds true to the fine line between the relationship of bosses and employees.

The comment she made about the sleeping arrangements (with Jamie) was that when Jamie is there, she shares a bed with her. I took it that Jamie is not there for the entire time.

The puking was so over the top, I can't believe they actually focused on it so much. The footage must be lacking for them to have to show so much of a less than stellar moment in their lives.


DMRick- she was dating a coach from her hometown? I never heard about that one.

DMRick- she was dating a coach from her hometown? I never heard about that one.

This is from February, so maybe it's long over, or it never was. Someone posted from her area that they were an item on one of the boards and posted pictures of them. His facebook (if it's really his) says he's in a relationship with someone named Jill):


Breaking report: Kate Gosselin dating Pennsylvania football coach.

Did you think we were going to let you go into the weekend without a show-stopping Kate Gosselin update? No way! This may be the hottest story of the week: paparazzi have just posted photos of the man they report is Kate Gosselin's new love interest. Check out Bernie Nowotarski.
As a central PA native, I can tell you a name doesn't get more Pennsylvania than Bernie Nowotarski. Nowotarski is the general manager and head coach for the Reading Express, a professional indoor football team with a stellar winning record. He has a degree in secondary education.
Nowotarski is also the father of five children; three girls and two boys. He's in his early forties and appears to be a Pennsylvania native. His Facebook profile lists him as single, seeking friendship, dating, a relationship and networking. (Plus, check out the pic below -- he's a decent shoe-shopper for a single dad!)

I'm not trying to stir up a visitation debate. Of course when kids live at one house more than another they are going to feel like that is their home and the other one is not. I just think that the parents should try to teach their children that it is the time with your loved one that is important. And making sure that they spend time with the other parent or relatives should be high on the list - not whether or not the kid is having a "good time."

Growing up I would have much rather preferred hanging out with my friends than spending time with my grandparents - but my parents taught us that family should always come first. Now, my boyfriend grew up with divorced parents and his vistation with his father mostly involved sitting on a barstool next to his dad (this was the '70s, when I guess kids in bars was acceptable). Obviously, if the person getting visited does not seem to want a relationship, it is a different matter. But it seems that Jon enjoys having his kids visit him and tries to do appropriate activities. Allowing the kids to decide when and how long they visit their father at 6 and 9 years old sounds like it is sending the wrong message to the kids.

I never said I let my son decide things like that. I was just saying that most kids would rather be where they are most comfortable and that usually means where their room and stuff is. Just because they express these feelings doesn't mean that the custodial parent encourages it or acts on it. Even at 16, my son has to go on his visitation, unless he talks to his dad himself. There have been times I got pulled into the middle, but I let them handle it.

I do think parents who have their kids 3-4 days a month max should try to do appropriate activities with the kids. My son is at the karaoke bar for 3-4 hours every time he visits his dad, and he is only there from Sat. morning to Sun. afternoon. That's something his dad likes, and I wish they could sometimes do what my son likes. Not my decision though.

This just struck me as funny. They weren't even the same shades of blue if you look close. I guess I don't get it. Really, not being argumentative, but are you saying you think they planned it? Hey, Steve, what color shirt are you wearing tomorrow, I'd like to match you. Just struck my funny bone..I seldom match my hubby, and I really love him. Now, if the shirts were both the same, I might see something funny there. I wonder, if Radar hadn't planted it in our minds, that the shirts matched, would we even have noticed? Quick, without looking, what color shirts do Jon and his girlfriend have on..do they match? I haven't a clue and I wouldn't have looked at the color shirts Kate or Steve had on, if Radar hadn't clued me in LOL.

Wasn't that just this past weekend those photo's were taken (or were they slow in posting them)? I would have thought the People's cover would have been done long before that.

Whover gets an issue, I'd like to know about the girls and what her answer is. I think there was some help there, although if there was, I don't think it was a good job, they aren't as perky as they usually are after surgery. With the clothes she has been wearing, I'm surprised a scar hasn't been photo'd. While I've noticed others have 'perked' up after a lot of exercise, hers seem to be bigger than they used to be. If she wore a bra, I'd say it was a good one, but she doesn't seem to most of the time. I don't care if she had it done, more curious over when she could have without it being leaked other than by the rags.

I haven't seen them unhappy with either parent (and if I did, not having any idea what went up with them, it would mean nothing IMO). I've seen them laughing and having a good time with them both. I also am not privy to what the kids tell Kate or Jon or who they like being with, but no matter what it is, it should be kept private. Both Jon and Kate need to not comment on each other or the time the kids spend with each other.

It's hard with divorce..certainly the parent who shows the kids the best time, and does the least amount of discipline is prob the parent the kids enjoy the most, but it's about much more than that. Just because kids enjoy being with one parent more than the other, doesn't mean the other parent is doing a bad job. I have no idea which is the 'fun' parent and which is the disciplinarian with J & K, but with divorced families I know, it seems like one parent is more fun for the kids to be with. I know if my husband and I ever divorced, and my kids never wanted to do housework or homework, and bedtime was whenever (and take out was the choice of the meal), the best choice for them, would have been my husband LOL!

ITA! My parents were divorced for almost my entire childhood, and honestly I really didn't like going to my dad's at all. I did complain a lot to my mom about never wanting to go. It wasn't that my dad was a bad dad, but I just felt MUCH more comfortable at my mom's. So, I don't doubt for a second that some/maybe all of the kids have expressed feelings of not wanting to go to their Dad's at certain times. Having said that, Kate does need to keep her mouth shut about those types of things. I'm sure the kids did say that, but she should never be saying/repeating those things out loud and especially on national tv. I think she has a lot of anger/hurt/bitterness towards Jon and I think at times she let's it get the best of her. She needs to stop and always see the big picture of what's best for the kids. -Almost all divorced couples I've ever known, struggle with this though; it's just most aren't on national tv.

Shouldn't Kate have a scar from the tummy tuck??

She does..it's low but usually we can see it when she is in her bikini's. It's pretty big. I assume if we didn't see the tummy tuck scar, we would have seen the C-section scar. I thought at the time the Doc said he was using the same scar.

My DNiece is the exact same way. She loves her father. She just doesn't have all her stuff at her dad's house. And no, my Dsis does not pick her up. She just tells her to stop whining and suck it up (Dniece is 15).

That's what air brushing is for. She should have numerous stretch marks and at least one surgical scar I would think.

She does not look like the People cover. She has stretch marks and scars. Her belly button is too high. I know they make you a new navel when they do a tummy tuck, but I can't imagine it being repositioned. She also looks pretty darn good in a bikini; which she wears a lot. She ought to look good with the time and money and donations she has put into that bod. It's really important to her.

Her b**bs are as big as her head. I'm glad she got them. She'd look like a dude without them. Her little hips and no waist and straight legs are very masculine. Not that that's a problem. I commend her on her commitment to fitness. Her running in that sports bra in startracks this week was something else Wonder what the kids think of the teeny bikinis and magazine cover bikinins?

 

[DMRick]

Her belly button is too high. I know they make you a new navel when they do a tummy tuck, but I can't imagine it being repositioned.

When the doc did her surgery, he said he needed to cut a new belly button hole, so maybe she just has a high belly button.

I'm very short, but my BB is high too..it's right where my waist goes in, like Kate's (except my belly doesn't look as good as hers LOL). Some people are high waisted. I think she's great to exercise like she does..and some of that body is because of that. If I could wear a bikini I would but there isn't any amount of surgery I could do to make it look like hers looks like on her. I think she is proud of it, and good for her.

 

[Promomx2]

I didn't even think about Mady and Cara. I can't imagine how they must feel having their mom pose in a bikini on a magazine cover. I certainly hope kate told them about it before they find out either at school or in the media.

 

[DMRick]

I just watched most of the new show with the six babies in NYC. They really seem sweet. I hope nothing changes for them, being on TLC.

I would be proud that my mom looked so awesome.

I agree. It's not Playboy - it's People. And she's already appeared in her bikini in magazines lots of times thanks to the paparazzi - as well as appeared on national TV.

Has she admitted to the breast surgery yet?

Parents should not leave such decisions to the children anyway. Tons of magazines in circulation...and Kate would not be the first bikini wearing mom. Now if she were posing for Playboy...that would be different given the content of the magazine.

I agree, she looks great. I don't get why the kids wouldn't be proud of thei mom. What are the kids at school going to tease them with..Hey Mady, your mom is hot LOL?

This is what she says about the breast surgery. And I have to say, if she's lying, why hasn't some medical records or proof snuck out?


After giving birth to eight babies, Kate Gosselin is ready to show off her bikini body on the new cover of PEOPLE.

The reality TV mom admits that now that her children are all in school, she has more time to exercise and is "the most fit I've ever been."

"I've worked really hard! Haven't I earned the right, at this point, to look good?" she says.

In the interview, the 'Kate Plus 8' star admits to having a tummy tuck after the birth of her sextuplets, but denies those botox and breast implant rumors, saying all she's done is eat healthier and purchase a great push-up bra. Flaunting her body is just another way to show ex-husband Jon Gosselin what he's missing out on.

 

[Buckalew11]

I just saw them interview her on Access Hollywood and she says they're all hers. And no botox because, "if I used it would I have these?" and she points to #11 lines between her brows. She does use a cream from the store and says that 2 weeks after she started using it the rumors started.

Maybe she just discovered "chicken cutlets" or something - but it's not the same bra all of the time. Especially when she's in a bikini. Maybe she's tone up enough that they're perkier? Anyway, if she did have them done I don't see the purpose in lying about it because 1.) the truth usually comes out (ex. Star Jones) and 2.) lots of women have breast surgery, it's not something to be ashamed of. Plus she already revealed way back when she got her tummy tuck that she wanted them done then.

I found these two pictures with a similar top - and really they don't look that much bigger. I'm assuming the first picture was from before the rumors started because of the short hair - but honestly I didn't put too much investigational skills into it. So correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[DMRick]

Like I said before, if she got them done, it wasn't a very good job. She did ask the doc to do them when she got her belly done, and he suggested she just buy a better bra. I don't get why she would lie either. She was under such a microscope, I feel she would have been found out.
Good for her for eating healthy and exercising, both of which I should do more of.
