Why would the network only show her at her worst? Why would Kate allow them to show her that way? I think that the reason Kate allowed them to show it is simply because she didn't see herself as being negative. She was just being Kate.

That has been the question from viewers on more than one of those "Questions from viewers" episodes. Kate has answered by saying she believes the shows portray her accurately...the good, the bad, and the ugly.

I bet what they showed was likely the norm. If they truly did edit her badly, do you think Kate would keep signing up for more? The old "they edited me to look bad" just doesn't work for me. They tape what she says/does.

she hasn't never claimed that they edited her badly. i have always admired her for that. her attitude has been 'that's me warts and all'. i also admire that once she had a look at herself she seems to be working on changing. it could be a combination of seeing herself and the kids getting older. i know i recently had a mirror held up to me...it was rather hard to see.

"Professional Pool-Party Hosting" ?? Have to admit I never considered that as a career! http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b141429_does_anyone_want_hire_jon_gosselin.html Does Anyone Want to Hire Jon Gosselin? Today 11:30 AM PDT by Leslie Gornstein Why was Jon Gosselin selling lemonade? Is he that desperate for sympathy—or cash? —Shennellc, Actually, Gosselin and his kids were selling lemonade for charity, at a local Pennsylvania fire department. Photogs and reporters caught him out there a few days ago while he was filming a new episode of his reality show. The firefighters might be the only fans Gosselin has left, though, if what everybody is telling me is any indication... During the lemonade extravaganza, Gosselin complained to reporters that he wished he could quit Jon & Kate, but that he can't because he has bills and, in case you haven't heard, eight kids. If that sounds desperate, that's because it genuinely is. Gosselin had a paid appearance lined up this week at the Shrine club at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods—on which he bailed—and he has one other in the offing, at a club called Wet Republic in Vegas, for which sources tell me he will be paid $15,000. But beyond that, I could not find a single booker willing to deal with him. Including the very people who were seeking him out just days ago. "We offered $5,000 for an unadvertised appearance," Randy Greenstein, partner at Shrine, tells me. "Jon is not really in demand because of his negative image. Who would want to advertise 'come hang with the world's biggest scumbag'? "No, we would never book him again." Other talent bookers tell me there's plenty of demand for soon-to-be-ex Kate Gosselin, but none for Jon. "Kate is doing three upcoming events for me," talent wrangler Glenn Rosenblum of Celebrity Access tells me. "She is lovely and a hard worker." As for Jon, he could garner an estimated $10,000 per appearance if anyone wanted him, but "especially with the economy, it would be hard to find a group that would want him right now." Other talent bookers, including Huff Events in New York, Queenie Donaldson in Los Angeles, and Leverage 8 in Chicago, all tell me they see no current demand for Jon, only Kate. And oh, just in case you're wondering whether clubs outside of Los Angeles, New York and Vegas would like to hire Gosselin, the answer is, not likely. At least not for money. Shane Brennan of the San Diego nightclub Stingaree tells me, "Even with the big hype surrounding Jon Gosselin's pending divorce and personal drama, he's still not the caliber of celebrity we'd pay big bucks for. He doesn't appeal to our demo of young and hip partygoers. Although Stingaree would not pay an appearance fee, we would likely offer complementary bottle service to his party." Sure, that might work. As long as there's lemonade.

I have no idea what she wanted to be when she was a child. I meant that once the kids were born and the media took interest a lightbulb went off and she ran with it. Again, no judgement, it's the way it worked out. The other moms and dads with multiples on TV don't seem to be magnets for the rags like The Gosselins are. Kate in my eyes loves the attention even though she complains about the paps and the exposure, she still finds time to do Larry King....I know I know she has to do interviews to promote the show. If the fame ever started to go away I think Kate would find a way to make her way back into the rag fodder, because that is what she/ they do these days, despite their whining.

I wonder what happened to the Hayes family as well. I like Jon but party host? Bar host? Are they kidding themselves? That's the job the Real World cast end up doing as they seek fame. It's a job for a young, single person, not a father of 8. I'm not sure what Jon should be seeking, but I think he needs a new publicist too! Kate has a following of women, so I can see her continuing her speaking engagements and doing things like the view. I'm not sure what I see Jon doing. I think he should be spending his time talking to a lawyer about alimony.

TMZ showed footage today - a lame interview (imho) asking Jon about the passing of Ted Kennedy - Jon expresses sadness/prayers for the family - then he lowers the flag to half mast - and you could see the dogs running around!!! that was the best part for me - to see the dogs out and about - and they seemed very well behaved!

Jon Gosselin denies saying he wants off the TLC show, says Us Weekly eavesdropped Jon Gosselin was recently quoted by Us Weekly saying, “I don’t even want to do taping for the show anymore,” but he says the tabloid made that up after overhearing his conversation with a fan. “I never said that. A fan asked me, ‘Don’t you sometimes wish you could go back to a 9-to-5 job?’ [And my reply was,] ‘Yeah, because this is 24/7 and 9-to-5ers punch in and punch out and you have no responsibilities,’” Jon told People. “Here … you have to watch what you say so it doesn’t contradict something else,” he added, saying that someone “overheard something that was nothing.” Jon also clarified a report in Life & Style that quoted him as saying “The kids staged a sit-in — a revolt. They didn’t want to work today.” The magazine cited another person who said, “once the kids returned home, the film crew kept yelling at them to film more outside. They seemed really tired, but the crew kept pushing them,” which TLC replied to by saying, “the assertion is utterly baseless.” None of that meant the kids want to quite the show, he told People. “And the other one was that the kids didn’t want to film anymore. No, they just didn’t want to film that day. It’s 96 degrees outside and they just said they wanted to go in the pool. So guess what? They took their clothes off, put their swimsuits on and jumped in the pool … I just looked at my producer and said, ‘What are you going to do?’” The kids took off their logo clothes?! Does Kate know about that? She’s going to be pissed. from realityblurred.com

LOL! Texannie. I saw on one of the TV rag shows (maybe it was Hollywood Access?) that TLC will be blurring out the logos on Jon's shirts and he is quite miffed about it. He doesn't understand why kate is allowed to give interviews and he is not (though the tv show pointed out that he said this in an interview....)

From ETONLINE: "Jon & Kate Plus 8" dad Jon Gosselin is pronouncing his love for his girlfriend, 22-year-old Hailey Glassman -- but how does he feel about his estranged wife Kate? Read on to find out! "I love Hailey," Jon tells People.com, adding that they started "talking" in May but began dating only after Kate filed for divorce in June, because going out before that time "wasn't appropriate." "I'll always love Kate," Jon says. "I went through a whole bunch of pictures today, and it's sad to see something that was good turn bad, but we moved in two different directions. We know that." "I have no ill will toward Kate," he continues. "She's the mother of my kids. She's a great mom. She does a lot for them." Jon adds that he went to counseling to try and salvage their marriage. "I worked on my marriage," he tells People. "I went to therapy. I have huge bills so [detractors] can't denounce that ... For [Kate] to say she'd been working on it -- well, I'd been working on it too, and at one point in time I just gave up. There's a point in time where you just say, 'This is not going to work.' So I just moved on."

He doesn't seem to get that anything he does in public or says in public will be seen and probably heard or repeated, so that hanging over the back gate and answering a question from someone he assumes is a fan is just as out there as an interview on Larry King and that just maybe drinking and partying is seen and heard and likely in a condition where he may just blurt out whatever.. Funny that in this interview he just gave more publicity to incidents he says were misinterpreted. And made the "9-5" comment even worse? Jon supposedly worked in IT, and typically many of those jobs aren't literally 9 - 5 or 8 - 6, you don't punch in and out and you probably DO have reponsibilities, even sometimes after hours, or on call. He really does need an advisor; if he is using one now, it isn't working or he isn't hearing them.

I thought Kate had said she had not been to counseling? One would hope they had both gone, as a couple first and then alone if they desired the alone time.

Kate Gosselin's Pool Party with Her Bodyguard...And His Wife! Want to know the quickest way to put those bodyguard affair rumors to bed? Just ask Kate Gosselin. While her soon-to-be ex-hubby Jon Gosselin was off having a pool party in Vegas, the mom of eight hosted her own get together with loyal protector (and rumored beau) Steve Neild and his family. Kate's security details arrived at her Pennsylvania home with his wife, two teenage sons and a cooler full of goodies in tow. "The kids all went swimming," an eyewitness tells E! News. "They were splashing around in the pool and having a really good time." The gang spent the rest of the day picking apples on Gosselin's property. But Neild, the consummate bodyguard, kept on eye on Kate plus eight's safety the entire time, patrolling the perimeter on Jon's ATV. Wonder how the patriarch will feel about that? After over five hours of fun, the Neild family departed as Kate and Steve's wife even hugged goodbye. So, like we said, affair? What affair? http://www.eonline.com....
