Kate Gosselin is right about at least one thing: 5 and 8 are a little young to be hearing bedtime stories about Hailey Glassman and Kate Major. According to mom, the eight Gosselin children are "wonderful, marvelous, gorgeous, lovely." But the reality-TV matriarch is still coming to terms with the end of her 10-year marriage to Jon Gosselin. And, though we think it would be a helpful part of the healing process, she doesn't plan on spilling any juicy details about why they broke up until her toddlers have reached voting age. "My main concern is my kids," she said on Larry King Live Tuesday. "I don't want them to see or hear anything on TV that I didn't discuss with them. We discussed what they need to know at their developmental age group." And despite the stuff she can't talk about on TV, Kate answered "yes" when Larry King asked if her estranged hubby is a good father. After a really long pause, that is. "Uh, his decisions right now are not ones that I would necessarily make, but down deep in his heart, I know that he is [a good dad]," Kate said. "I'm looking more toward the future and the decisions of today that affect tomorrow, more so than he is." Gee, we wonder which of Jon's decisions she could be talking about. While Kate told King that she asks herself every day why her marriage ended, she obviously knows more opinions about it than she's letting on. "It's all in that vault," she said. But, despite her admitted tendency to "freak out about everything," Kate is trying to leave what she can't control well enough alone. "I can honestly say that there is so much on my plate right now, that I absolutely cannot react that way to every little thing that comes by—or big thing," she quickly added. "I want to be positive, I want to work forward, and I want the kids to look back on all that they're going to see of me and know that I did my best." We'd like to think that Kate's not letting Jon have all the fun, but the bikini-loving 34-year-old says she's too busy to date. "I'm not really worried about it," she said. "I'm lonely but I'm very busy. Actually, I'm alright." In a recent sit-down with Today's Meredith Vieira, Kate refuted reports that she was purchasing a Maryland condo—a story that went hand in hand with a rumor that she had hooked up with her married bodyguard, who lives in the area where she was said to be condo-hunting. "I live at home with my kids. That's where I belong, that's where I will stay," she said. So where does she go when Jon's at their Pennsylvania home with the kids, King asked? "Elsewhere," Kate said, smiling. "There are very good aspects of being a control freak," she added. "I'm very driven, nothing less than the best, keep moving…I enjoy that part of my personality. "I persevere. I will not lay down and die." http://www.eonline.com... this comment tickled me... And, though we think it would be a helpful part of the healing process, she doesn't plan on spilling any juicy details reminds me of us here!

Watching your father making out with your babysitter is not conducive to healthy childhood memories. Welcome to my childhood. ROFLMAO.

My dad never grew up past 17 (the age he was when he had the first of his 5 or 6 kids). I was born just after his 20 birthday (less than a month after) and their divorce became final either right before or right after my birth. He still thinks he can party, bar hop, womanize, etc. and he's pushing 50. When I was little, if I couldn't find my dad, I could call down to the bar and there'd he'd be. To this day, if we call his cell phone, he'll answer, and you can hear he's at the bar by his house. We'll ask "Dad are you at the lake club?" and he'll deny it, and if he doesn't answer his phone, if you call the lake club and ask for him, you can hear him say "tell them I'm not here." We LOL. It's become a game now. The poor bartender (who's my age and my dad has the hots for (for now)) takes messages. We say "well, when he gets there, tell him......"

I'm pulling from the other side of 50. It's not bad at all over here. Medicare is great insurance. LOL

I had to giggle while watching Larry King try to insist that Kate should want to be dating already.. Larry doesn't like to be uncoupled, after all.. Eight marriages to seven women. Current marriage, two children, one stepson and three adult children. His current marriage is the only one to last into double digits. He seemed not to get why they wouldn't pack up 8 kids to "go stay with Daddy". I thought Kate handled Larry better than many do.. he said there is a standing invitation for Jon to come on, but that he had declined so far.

Not on news. LKL and morning shows, etc are run out of the news departments. For late night talk shows they do, because it's considered entertainment.

Maybe TLC said he couldn't.. I would assume LKL would pay for travel and hotel, like Oprah does. She also says they don't pay guests. Kate may be on the clock for TLC when she does her interviews.

Jon doesn't want to do anything that might lead to work. He's setting up his claim for spousal support. A year from now Kate and the kids will be fine. Jon will be another Joey Buttafuoco.

Kate tells Larry, "Personally, for myself and the kids, this has been a good experience. It continues to be a good experience." Wow did Kate REALLY say that about J&K+8? I do think she needs a reality check if she really thinks so.

Amy Fisher did shot the wife but she's married and fine. Joey's ex-wife is fine. Joey, who IMHO, told Amy to do it, parties, does porn and anything he can to get attention from the paps.
