Kate Gosselin (Minus 8) To Return To TV

http://smal.in/icc

Steven Avalos Posted Feb 4th 2010 01:38PM

Just when you thought you'd seen the last of her, reality TV staple Kate Gosselin is returning to the small screen this March. US Weekly reports that the busy mom will be reprising a guest host spot over at 'The View,' along with a new TLC reality show-- this time without the kids.

Kate, who will start on The View on March 11, last appeared on the show in September of 2009 during the height of divorce proceedings with her then estranged husband.

As for the new TLC gig, we're told it will debut later this year with cameras following Kate "trying different jobs and tasks and showing how she performs in different environments."

Though public reception towards the mother of 8 has been polarizing to say the least, we're just excited to see those new hair extensions in full HD glory.

My guess would be is that his attorney bills for this TLC lawsuit far outweigh is his current income, and this is the only way he can figure out how to make it all stop. I really don't see any evil intent, unless someone may think trying to keep yourself out of further deep lifetime debt is evil.

I think what JON is thinking is that HE wants to use the kids in one of his endeavors, because he'd be way more marketable with than without the kids, so he kind of would have to allow them to be filmed with Kate as well.

Remember, way back before he had his show killing epiphany, he wanted to have a clothing line with the guy who designed the fugly tshirts he was wearing and have the kids be models for his kids line.. it was only after various things fell apart and his name was to be removed from the show that he decided that the filming was harmful to the kids.

I thought originally when Jon demanded the filming of the kids stop, that it was all a leverage tool to use against TLC. I thought it would quickly bring them all to some kind of agreement with the TV show and the divorce. But then it didn't seem that way as Jon continued to spiral on his self-destructive path. So, to me, it seems to be a very late last ditch act to try and salvage. I'd really love to know if he's operating under lawyer advice or if all this mess was him doing what he wanted.

I do often wonder how the kids are doing. This had to of been a difficult time for them. I think keeping them out of the cameras is probably in their best interest for now.

If Kate & 8 were to continue, Jon could possibly be released from his child support obligation. He might even be able to claim spousal support since his wife is working and he isn't. If Kate starts bringing in big money from any endeavor, I expect <93> to file for spousal support.

As much as I'd like to see them again, it's best for those kids to just grow up as close to normal as possible. Kate alone is fine. Perhaps now and then they could do a special, but not where they are filmed during their everyday life. Perhaps Kate taking them places, on trips to national monuments or amusement parks or being involved in some of the jobs she takes.

Since Kate is guesting on The View and a new show is in the works for her (without kids), it sounds like Jon was just a wee bit too late in offering up his children for TV. I hope Kate rakes in a fortune and Jon just goes away.

Such unattractive party pics of Hailey, Kate Majer, Michael Lohan and some not so great ones of the new girlfriend partying too.

So basically Jon's sudden distaste and concern for having the kids filmed because it was harmful and abusive to them no longer matters when it doesn't benefit him or when it inhibits what he wants to do. Surprise surprise, it was never a sincere concern. What happened to him telling Nancy Grace he "is doing what is best for his kids," or telling Michael Lohan that he was selling his kids out to every pedaphile out there by having them on tv. Jon only does what he thinks is best for him.

Yes, Rissa my opinion of Jon has changed. It has went from mild distaste for his behavior to thinking he is a <93>

I don't think Jon can get spousal support just because Kate will now be making more money. I'm not sure, but I think legally, it doesn't work that way. Re: child support, I don't think he has to pay less just because she is going to be making more. He has an obligation to financially support his kids. He cannot say he cannot afford it because he doesn't have an income or much of an income. He is obligated to get a job and pay the child support. If he doesn't have primary custody (and he doesn't), then he has to pay based on what he could be earning, not based on what Kate earns. (at least I think it works this way legally).

Yes, my opinion of Jon has changed. Before he was seen out late drinking and being with other women, my opinion of him was that he was an OK dad, not the greatest, but OK. There were numerous times shown on tv that he wasn't very nice to the kids or Kate but not awful. My opinion of him is MUCH MUCH lower now.

I never had a very good opinion of Kate based on what we have seen and I still don't so that hasn't changed. My opinion of Jon has dropped considerably. He seemed like a pretty okay Dad and well involved in his kids' lives. Since the break-up he seems to have lost a lot of interest in his kids and that's a shame.

I have to say I disliked Kate when I first saw her dominating behavior towards Jon. I thought she was treating him horribly. It just goes to show you not to judge. Now, I see what Kate saw fairly early, she had to be the dominate partner, and delegate everything because Jon just didn't have a clue. He seemed to be a reluctant Dad, very passive, paticipating most of the time, at Kate's insistance. I still believe Kate is an aggressive person, strong Type A, but I'm not as critical as I was at first.

Jon Gosselin Too Broke to Fight TLC


http://www.tmz.com/2010/02/07/jon-gosselin-too-broke-to-fight-tlc/

Posted Feb 7th 2010 1:50AM by TMZ Staff

Jon Gosselin doesn't have enough dough to fight TLC over the breach of contract lawsuit the network filed against him ... sources close to the case tell TMZ.



Our sources say Jon is now looking for a way to settle the suit due to his lack of funds to fight it -- especially after TLC won an injunction prohibiting Jon from violating the non-compete clause in his contract ... which means he can't make money by appearing on other shows.

We're told the only way the network will agree to settle is if Gosselin agrees to abide by the terms of his contract -- no exceptions.

We've yet to hear back from Jon's people.

He has his rich current girlfriend and probably she has "people".

And he has former "people" as in attorneys who are now current creditors, I would imagine.

I thought Jon's contract with TLC was up in Feb.. just figured as soon as the contract was over he'd ramp up the obnoxious self-promotion.

I'm just waiting for the day when Kate's 15 minutes are up and pray this day is soon approaching. She doesn't get it. I don't believe this is about supporting her children; it's more about herself. She said it all when she stated on that one interview (I think on TLC) that it's too late to go back. Inotherwords, Kate is a celebrity and she can't go back to just being a Mom.

I know this isn't a popular feeling here, but I've felt for quite awhile now that Kate doesn't actually want to raise her own children. She'd rather nannies do it while she becomes a TV personality.

These children have lost both their parents; they just don't know it yet. So very, very, sad.

I have never seen Kate be anything but a loving, adoring mother to her kids. I think the one that doesn't get it is you. No, Kate can't go back to just being a nurse because now she is the SOUL provider for 8 kids. She has to have a better means of providing for them and this is the best way to do it. Thank goodness those kids still have one parent who will always show them unconditional love. I believe Jon has certainly shown them that his love is up for grabs.

not a fan of Kate's so I hear where you are coming from Cricket - and it does make you wonder about the whole octo mom scene - but anyway...

had to check out tmz once I saw the thread bumped up again...

Kate has been low key for a very long time. Now we hear she is going to be on the View as a guest host and there is some sort of show in the wings for her at TLC.

I don't know why anyone would begrudge her a way to make more than she would as a nurse. Wouldn't ANY of us jump at a chance to make more money at something we know we like? Why does she have to answer to all of us about how she makes her money? And how are people arriving at their opinions that she isn't or doesn't want to raise her children? I'd like even a speck of evidence that it's true.

JON has proven himself to be total loser, a wimp of a man, and this stuff coming to light about him is probably exactly why Kate couldn't stay married to him. Who could?

Many, if not most, of the women we see on television have children at home. Of course all working mothers have the added stress of needing help caring for the children while they are at work. The good news is that being on a regular television show will permit Kate to be home much more than if she had to work as a nurse.

Most TV shows try to compact their time in the studio to save money and time. Likely she would be able to average two or three days a week at work and will be able to afford live in nannies who are in tune with the kids' routines. As a nurse she'd need to work three or four 12 hour shifts a week and would have a hard time finding someone reliable to watch the kids on her nurses salary.

What is wrong with Kate pursuing a career that she might have found out later in life is both fulfilling personally and financially lucrative? Isn't that why the woman's movement was formed in the first place? Should she sit at home ekeing out a living trying to support 8 children on a nurse's salary just to satisfy our need to exact revenge upon her for being somewhat of a shrew to her husband?

LOL @ Jimmy Kimmel. He says something like "I know everyone is talking about the Super Bowl, Lost, and trying to get their Toyotas to come to a stop, and I just realized, nobody cares about the Gosslins anymore."

I came here to post this, and this thread was actually 8th on the list of threads! I think it is the lowest down the page I'd seen it!

Interesting, I looked at the on-screen info, and tonight's show says "repeat." How can that be, his monologue sounds pretty current to me!
