Jon thinks he can have his cake and eat it too. He can have his freedom and his party life-style and still share in family get-togethers during Kate's time with the children. All planned and provided by Kate, of course. I think it was big of her to invite him to her party for the girls and still he complains that it's HIS house and he'll stay as long as he wants. Jon needs to learn that he has to start making his own plans and provisions for spending time with his children and stop expecting Kate to include him in her plans.

Since it was deemed as justifiable when Jon wouldn't let Kate through the gate & into the home the day the police were called when it was his turn with the kids, maybe Kate should do the same thing for her time with the kids & not let Jon through the gate during their birthday since he is publicly stating he will not leave. After all, some found Jon perfectly justifiable in doing so, therefore it must certainly be okay for Kate to do the same LOL. Jon would have a field day with Kate in the media if that happened, but surely he could see that he did the same thing. I'm curious then what less than flattering things would be said about Kate by the same people who justified Jon's doing it.

I wish the media would do to them like E! did to Heidi/Spencer. They declared their network a Speidi free zone. I'd love to have a Gosselin free zone.

For the sake of the kids, Lady, I agree. Both sides need to just shut up. Neither seem to realize that what they say on national TV or to the press is going to make its way back to those children. I wonder how they're going to handle little Mady coming home from school one day, saying, "Someone told me Daddy stole all our money, and we're going to starve!" Or little Cara saying "Someone told me Mommy won't let Daddy spend my birthday with me!" Jeez, people, show a little self-control. That is, if you really do want to do what's best for your children and not what you think will score you points.

LadyTex you are spot on correct. Both Jon and Kate's heads would spin if a Gosselin free zone were developed. Hopefully it will happen soon, I am so over them; just feel bad for the kids.

Why does Jon always say "It's MY home?" Doesn't the house belong jointly to both him and Kate? From what I have read Kate hasn't said that Jon withdrew the $200,000 in one single transaction but apparently over the course of a month or so. Perhaps she didn't notice because she wasn't in need of the funds at that time to pay bills, if that was the primary function of that account. We are all [assuming] a lot of things about both of these people when in reality we know very little...although it is more than we really WANT to know...LOL. <99>

I was LOL too! Thanks Naja! (I don't think the Kate dislikers are going to find that funny though...although she says nothing about Jon in that clip...so maybe all you Kate dislikers will think it's funny )

"her hair looks like she fights crime in space"... "She's using her spit!" Yes, that was funny and I'm a disliker. That's the old Kate, the one from Season 1. I hope she returns more often!

From TMZ: We're told Jon has struck a deal with a TV show to allow it to film his kids' birthday party today -- this is the same Jon who doesn't want his kids filmed on "Kate Plus 8." To that, Kate's lawyer, Mark Momjian, tells TMZ "I've never seen a greater hallmark for hypocrisy personified."

I think at this point, I would let the lawyers duke it out. On a side note, I think the girls would have a better birthday if Jon was not there when Kate was there. I think that is the point Kate is trying to make. Its thier birthday not his. As a mother I see that right away. No way could I be pleasant even for my child if my soon to be x was there. Have separate events, the girls birthday fun lasts longer.

I thought all along that Jon was just making the typical divorce threats to have bargaining chips when it comes down to the nitty gritty. Now I think the man is seriously insane. He lives in his own little world where he can say and do whatever he wants because he's JON! He needs major help.

Mrs Gosselin's skit on Leno made me feel terribly sad for these children, whose mother finds time to go to NYC and party with Barbara Walters, finds time to try to burnish her star potential with lame sketch comedy, etc., but can't find time to allow her children to spend time with their loving father. It's a very screwed up set of priorities, but I suppose it's expected for someone estranged from all the members of her family she cannot control.

It doesn't matter what kind of deal Jon has struck if in fact he has...I believe that they are under exclusive contract with TLC so if he allows some other party to film his children's birthday then he will be in breach of contract and can get hauled into court by TLC...which brain is that man thinking out of?

It's a very screwed up set of priorities, but I suppose it's expected for someone estranged from all the members of her family she cannot control. So, the fact that Jon appeared on at least 4 different shows this past week is irrelevant but Kate's appearances are examples of how evil she is?? Jon is going to be with them for 2 hours AND will have additional time with them on the weekend. How is this not allowing their allegedly loving father to spend time with them? Not to mention, he has custody every other week. That "loving father" expressed, on camera, his desire to be back living his NY life while with his kids so I don't think he is being deprived of anything he really values. Aside from the hypocrisy of filming the children after shutting down the show to protect them, I can see the financial benefits to such an arrangement, if in fact it occurred. They can probably make a lot more money selling exclusive rights to certain events to the tabloids/entertainent shows (I'm guessing that's who would pay) rather than getting paid on a per episode basis. Of course, the fact that they had the TV show at all is what makes tabloids willing to pay a premium, so it's not like they could have done this all along but from a financial perspective I can see why it would work better for them now. But I am skeptical about this accusation in general, given that it is only coming from Kate's lawyer, not from the source that would have been paying for this access.

My understanding is that Mrs Gosselin has had custody of the children during all this. Is that wrong? That is, among other things, a rationale for Mrs Gosselin keeping the father of her children at arm's length on their birthday and, as we know, Jon was working in LA this weekend.
