Yes, Jon isn't allowed on any channels and yet Kate will be on Jay Leno tonight. Why?? That's all I want to know. Why is it okay for her and not Jon and who pushed this through so very fast? I suspect Kate and TLC don't want Jon to have any say in what they might include the children in at a later date. I know many of you think Kate is great, but I find her sickening. She used Jon to get her children and then was through with him. She used her children to get money and fame and now she she isn't around them as much as she used to be. She's a TV star..ya know..just ask her. Everyone in this situation lost...except Kate. I only hope Karma shows up soon.

Pointless, I suppose, to mention that one followed the contract she signed, one didn't follow the contract he signed, one shut down the show, one didn't, one hasn't gone around bashing their employer, one has. It isn't a case of great or not great, just playing by the rules and breaking them. And of course, one wonders if Jay Leno even wants Jon Gosselin on his show?

Cricket, the reason why is because he broke his contract and she didn't break hers. It is a business decision on TLC's part. "I'm sure they did split whatever proceeds they got from the sale of their former home in PA, but of course we don't know how much equity there was there." I saw the amount in an article recently. They made money, but not a lot. I think it was around $20K - $40K but cannot remember for sure. I think the purchase and sale prices were both in the $200,000s. I do not think Kate used Jon to get children. It is so apparent to me from things they both said on the show that they were in love and loved being parents of the twins. When Kate got pregnant with the sextuplets, it is not as if she was telling Jon she was on birth control and was secretly not taking the pill so she would get pregnant. Yes, Jon was reluctant at first, but he agreed they would try for another baby. They both knew there was a chance there would be multiples. They got six. She did not force him. He became a parent willingly every time. Sextuplets are very rare. There is no way she could have planned all this out. I do not believe for a moment that she had some big plan before they had children to have children with him and then dump him. No way.

It's pointless, seamonkey, because Kate is evil and it's all her fault. Jon broke a contract he signed. In this country, you are actually expected to live up to the agreements you make. Jon's contract was exclusive, prohibiting him from making other agreements with other agencies to make money from the fame that he ONLY got because of the show to whom he was legally contracted. Kate is not to blame for Jon's poor choice in deciding to become a "free agent", Jon is. Jon is not allowed to appear on tv because of a court order. That court order was due to evidence presented by TLC that Jon was in violation of his contract. Jon is not some innocent who just wants out of the public eye. In fact, he's in trouble with his contract because he refused to stay out of the public eye. Jon willingly agreed to give up primary custody of his children. That wasn't contested in court or anywhere else. It had nothing to do with TLC but with Jon. But hey, no one needs to let those facts get in the way of blaming Kate for all of Jon's horrible decisions. Let's instead create a conspiracy in which Jon has been held hostage by Kate and TLC going back to the conception of his children. It's all their fault.

And Jon chose sucky lawyers. Probably Kate made him pick them.

<And of course, one wonders if Jay Leno even wants Jon Gosselin on his show?> And of course, one also wonders why on earth he wanted her on his show, what with the braying laugh and smarmy-oh-so-pleased-with-herself personna she exudes. To each his own I guess.

Yes, and look for her on DWTS soon. She let it be known that's on her wish list.

Hey dream big; why not? Actually I don't watch Leno and find many of the guests on all the late night shows and most daytime shows pretty annoying.

In the whole Kate v. Jon divorce and parenting situation, I am on team kate, but some about her personality on the show annoyed me. I have not found her annoying in interviews and I didn't find her annoying on Leno tonight. The delay was annoying though.

Yes, she has an amazing ability to stay on script in interviews. She is only hostile toward those in her personal life. She must hold it in reserve.

<Hey dream big; why not?> Well, one reason would be the amount of time she'd need to invest on a daily basis practicing the dances. I would imagine it would be long hours of practice needed for one who admits she "just cannot dance at all." I'm surprised that such a 'good mother' would want to be away from her children so much, especially at such a difficult time in their lives. Everyone who ever gets on DWTS comments about the long, long hours of hard work it takes. How on earth would she have the energy left to adequately take care of her 8 children. Guess the nannies would be out in full force.

Kate has my prayers and support; she has such a huge job ahead of her. But I know she is going to provide for her children...with or without Jon's help. And, I suspect for the most part it's going to be without his help physically and financially.

I am so impressed with kate, she is much smarter than I ever really knew. She picked out an unsuspecting, innocent guy and forced him to marry her. Then she conned him into having twins. But, no..that wasn't enough for the diabolical kate. She realized she woud never get that reality show she secretly dreamed of with just two kids so she willingly subjected herself to infertility treatments, forced the poor, unsuspecting guy to give her his sperm and conceived 8 babies. She gleefully accepted the mandatory months of bed rest because she knew that big financial paycheck was just ahead. She forced the poor husband to allow Discovery to do a show on them knowing for a fact that it would lead to a reality show. She even allowed the evil TLC to portray her poor, unsuspecting husband in a much more flattering light because she knew all the financial perks were going to start rolling in. Then she kicked him out! She was very cagey; she continued to follow the dictates of the contract and plotting with the evil TLC knowing that the poor, unsuspecting guy would wake up and realize he was duped, vilolate the terms of his contract, and then they would be free of him!! What's even smarter is Kate and TLC were able to manipulate the legal system to completely to make sure the poor guy would be unable to support himself as a reality star. All the while the poor guy was having to seek solace in young girls and questional advisors who sold him out to the media and forced him to make some really bad choices. Truly, what was the poor guy to do, but buy a million dollar apartment in New York, travel to France, Vegas and Hawaii?

holly, many mothers have done DWTS. Sure, none with 8 little kids, but Brooke Burke had just had a baby. Marie Osmond has 10. I am sure you don't mean to imply that a mother who did DWTS does not love her children.
