i can't believe those babies are going to be 5 on Sunday!!! i think she is very open and honest about the fact that the show allowed her to be a stay at home mom. i can't imagine the panic of trying to figure out how you would work, find daycare with 8 kids. i don't think anyone can deny that those children are a top priority with them.

LOL, I did get a kick out of the part where Kate says that she's a glass half full type of person! Of all the things she may or may not be, and god bless her... I don't think she's that! LOL!!

i don't think she is necessarily an optimist, but i definitely don't thinks she is a pessimist. Probably she's more of a realist.

I think that they should call off all personal appearances and stay at home and out of the limelight for a long time. For the kids' sake. Does Kate really think the more PR she does, the better it will be for her family? Hopefully they paid for that house outright so they don't need to continue to "sell" themselves for cash... Whether this "trauma" is true, false, fair or whatever, the aftermath is what it is. And I am sure it is not anything near good for the kids. IMO, the best thing to do is retreat. Hope that this-too-shall-pass quickly and not return. But the only surefire way for the limelight to get off this family is for them to cut bait and bail.

I read that they make $50,000 - $75,000 PER epdisode so they are sitting pretty. How many episodes per season? They just finished season four and season five is in the can. I am another one that does not like all the free perks they get especially seeing the kind of money they make. I know it is advertising and all that other stuff but it never sits well with me. Same thing when celebs get free stuff and don't need it.

Season 5 is not in the can, per Kate's interviews. They are still filming. They appear to start airing the beginning of the seasons while the later part of the seasons are still being filmed.

I always thought whole seasons were in the can for most shows when they aired. Then after reading and watching interviews, I found out even sitcoms and dramas sometimes only have 5 or 6 shows in the can when the season starts. I think "The Office" at one point was airing shows and they were only 3 eps ahead in filming.

I don't think Kate has the choice to stay home right now. I'm sure the publishing house that published her book wants her making the rounds to push it. They want to make money, too.

That's what I was thinking, that she is contractually obligated to make these appearances.

Exactly. She seems to do spurts of interviews during the couple weeks before every new season starts. I think this time it's just bad timing (or good timing?) that the tabloid stuff is happening right while she is doing her scheduled promo tour. In a funny way, it is actually good for the show. I mean ratings wise.

Naja, um, thanks for posting, um, the link to the um, Larry King interview. After, um, watching Kate's interview, um, I don't think it um, really matters, um, if Jon cheated, um, or not. Kate is, um, sticking by her man, um, and they are, um, working through the publicity and, um, whatever did or did not, um, happen. I think, um, that Jon & Kate, um, are going to, um, be ok. One thing I um, will say, um, is that I do NOT, um, want to hear Kate, um, chastising the way, um, Jon speaks, um, EVER again. UM.

LOL Serate! I have to say, I really enjoy this family even though I don't like them all the time. They really fascinate me.

I had to smile when she said "one parent is always home with the kids". I'm still wondering who is watching those kids while Jon is out drinking until 2am? Who is watching them while he is sneaking out of his "friend"s house at 7:30 am? I'm thinking part of Jon's problem is that he doesn't work. I think this TV and book stuff is really Kate's gig. He's like the lonely housewife who's sick and tired of supporting her husband's interests above her own. Do married women really allow their husbands to have their "friends" over to sun bathe in a bikini when she is out of town on business? It just seems so inappropriate, even if it was 100% innocent. Cheating comes in more forms than just intimate physical contact.

Do married women really allow their husbands to have their "friends" over to sun bathe in a bikini when she is out of town on business? Do we know for sure Kate was out of town on business when this happened? Maybe she was inside getting everybody something to drink. Do we know the photo was true? Has it been photoshopped? All I know is that whether Jon cheated or not, KATE is the one who is dealing with it and she seems to want to make things work. Besides, maybe it's NOT cheating. Maybe she knows about the affair - if there is one - and is ok with it as long as Jon doesn't touch her, and nobody finds out. But when people found out then it upset her. I knew a couple who stayed married for the kids - and $$ sake - and had their own little love flings. Each was ok that the other did it as long as nobody found out. Now my hubby, on the other hand, KNOWS I'm ok with him having another woman. But his penis is mine and will be on my nightstand in a pickle jar when he's out with his other woman. So the choice is his. But the penis is MINE!

What I can't stand is people who are almost gleefully hoping Jon's cheating is true. Some people get joy from other's misfortunes. Disgusting.

I think that sometimes "glee" and "curiosity/interest" can be confused. People are sure interested in talking about it. That doesn't mean that they are gleeful but it has generated a lot of interest. With the disclaimer that I'm not referring to anyone here, I also think there is a certain desire on the part of some people to see successful proud public people fail. The concept of "pride goeth before the fall" is pretty ingrained in American society.

Serate, I noticed all the ums too.. guess Kate has that in common with our, uh, president, huh? And the crap she is having throw at her on live tv would probably render many of us speechless, or at least less than perfect. Well I sense a whole lot of glee, just look at all the sites you'll hit if you google.. but that is strictly my opinion. As for the continued interviews.. I suspect some of them are probably contractual obligations previously set up by the publisher and of course if a bunch of cancelled interviews were announce now, they'd be crucified for "hiding". It has been suggested here at least once that Jon shouldn't have cancelled his appearance on one show.. I doubt if anything they did would meet much approval. So yes, it may be that she does think that the PR she is doing is in some way combatting the continued new tabloid "articles" and photos and the dredging up of all the hate websites that were around to attack Kate. It is usually a losing battle with the tabloids and most seasoned celebs do pick and choose their battles, but I always hate it that often they just have to say "no comment" while they are being trashed and lied about. When a rare lawsuit is won, I really smile. It is so easy for any of us to make a clear statement on what they should do, but we aren't living their lives or walking in their shoes. I'm another one who cannot fathom why I should resent something another person gets.. heck, with my current financial situation I'd be resentful every time I heard about someone taking a nice trip or buying a flat screen tv, but why shouldn't others enjoy what they have or can do, or if they simply make different choices than I would?

I didn't say here. You can bet the tabloid media is thilled to death that there's something juicy to talk about with Jon and Kate. Papperazi? Deliriously happy.

the "um" thing - it could be nerves, stress, fatigue, or even a coping mechanism for stutters... I read an article that said President Obama is a stutter that is why he does say "um" so much...

But isn't it just like message boards to make judgments or fun of other people's imperfections.
