Tishala the images didn't come through, but I like the Beckham hairstyle better, it's more current and stylish. I just don't think it fits Victoria's frame that well.

Madalene, LOL, I understand what you mean and I don't think it warrants flaming. LOL

ETA: OK, I see the images now. This wasn't the style I was speaking of that Victoria once wore.

Madalene, no flaming here either although I was always told the opposite. That when you want to look like a woman and have sex appeal instead of cuteness that you lose the long hair that belongs with young girls and teens.

If Kate and the bodyguard do have a relationship beyond a working one or beyond friendship, then I respect the way she is going about it far more than the way Jon is

Oh, not me. The poor children know this man as one thing--a bodyguard--not as mommy's boyfriend. It is a terrible idea to mess with boundaries like that, especially with kids who are so young.

I have always felt like the short hair cuts happen when people don't care to attract men anymore for whatever reason.

Who says every woman even wants to attract a man? Does that make women with short hair (who don't want to attract a man) lesbian or something?

I don't love Kate's hairdo, but I think she's very attractive.

Tishala, but that's why I respect it better than what Jon is doing, because IF it is a relationship, she's not making it public like Jon is doing. And it doesn't appear that she's even presenting this man to the kids as someone she's dating nor on the internet, so the kids aren't seeing pictures of their mom out dating another man so quickly, and they're not reading any statements she makes regarding different men she's dating and cathing her in lies. Which is why I respect her approach far better than Jon's, IF she's dating the bodyguard. I'm still not sold on it that she's dating him.

And OMG, I don't think I've seen Kate's hairstyle up close like that before, it's worse than I thought. I didn't realize it was so spikey like that. Wow! Definitely not my cup of tea.

Does anyone here think Kate would be upset that some of us think her hair is not flattering and a hideous style? I really don't think so. It's all superficial stuff. I'm surprised people get so bent out of shape about it. We've talked a lot worse about parenting behaviors in both Jon and Kate, said things that are far more harsh IMO. It's hair. Some of us think it's a ridiculous style! I think some of the things said about Jon and Kate not being good parents because of such-and-such behaviors are a lot more harsh.

And personally, any style where you have to tilt your head to one side to see around your bangs is hideous. I grew up listening to the flock of seagulls and seeing those hair-dos once was enough!

I highly doubt Kate would give a rat's a** about what people are saying about her hair.

Speaking for myself, I'm not bent out of shape about it one bit. What I do object to, is that since there isn't any proof out there that Kate is cheating (unlike Jon), the negative remarks now gravitate towards her looks. It's just all grasping at straws.

my point since i am the one who brought it up, was there seems to be such hatred towards kate including her hair. like her haircut is validation for their violent feelings towards her. her hairstyle is not my cup of tea, but i don't hate it and don't hate her for wearing her hair however she chooses too.

Violent feelings, lolol. Bit of an exaggeration, dontcha think? (I couldn't even drum up 'violent feelings' yesterday toward the guy who chopped off over 16" of my hair instead of the 10" I requested for Locks of Love.)

I honestly couldn't give a rat's hiney about either Kate or Jon, much less muster up the energy to feel violent about them (and I would bet that few who post here would either). Some of us just don't like the woman OR her hair. I don't like her, not because of her haircut, but because, IMO, she uses her kids in a very unhealthy way. She's a self-centered, emasculating woman who puts her own craving for wealth and fame before her kids' needs. And that's all there is to it, I'm afraid.

no, i don't feel like i am exaggerating. like i said up thread, i have noticed here and other places that there seems to be a real hatred of kate. i was asking cause i don't understand it. i don't really understand having such strong feelings for either one.
and i don't recall ever calling anyone simple minded.

Texannie, I think it's more a case of her personality than anything--you either like her a lot or dislike her a lot. Then again, there seems to be as many, if not more, strong negative feelings directed toward Jon on this board than there is toward Kate. It's kind of like the N&V thread, isn't it? LOL

I know a lot of people say she's exploiting the children and all....but I look at it like she's supporting those children. I've never supported 8 kids, but I make decent money and I can tell you right now I couldn't do it on what I make. Healthcare costs alone would take a HUGE chunk. This started out a simple one or two show thing, and it's turned into a way to support the family. It may not have been the best thing for them to do but, it's what they decided was best at the time. They can't undo it, all they can do is try to make the best decisions from now on.

Besides, why is it always Kate that uses the kids in an unhealthy way? Jon has been in this from the start. He doesn't have a great work record from what I've read in the past so this gig was perfect for him....until it started interferring with his "personal" life that is. Then he backed off. Granted, she's done more with it with the books and all...but the show hasn't been called Kate + 8.

Why is it always kate...?

Because she ALLOWS it to happen! Sure Jon is equally as responsible as she is. They are BOTH exploiting the kids. Equally. Both to blame. Just for $$$. I know it started out as a way to get the kids on film for memories that Kate realized she would never have the time or luxury of doing herself. So a few specials here and there, I would not have any problem with whatesoever. But they both saw what this has grown into. And they've done nothing to stop it. I've lost a lot of respect for TLC as well. The Learning Channel?? Learning how to make a lotta money on cute kids!!!

It/ pimping of the kids may have started out as an innocent way to make money, but it quickly turned into to an ugly mess for the family that once was. Poor kids.

I started out sort of liking Kate, and being quite amused by all of her hang ups, but as the show moved more and more into the "Kate gets new stuff" and "Kate berates Jon" show I grew less and less fond of her and the show overall. I think she's grown from a small town girl into an ego-maniac who can't admit she's doing this for herself, not for her kids any longer.

Hatred of her? Not even close. I feel amused, saddened, annoyed. Hate her hair? Yes, indeed. I'd hate that 'do' on my best friend. And I'd be asking if Edward Scissorhands had cut it.

And Jon. Jon, Jon, Jon. He disappoints me. He's like the kid who's been standing outside the candy store, staring in the window. And now he's in the store stuffing his face. He's so happy to be free to do as he pleases he's like a 15 year old kid.

I hope when people say they "hate" a tv personality, they don't really mean it. I don't hate anyone in real life, much less anyone I don't know. Hate expends too much energy and noone is worth using my energy or time on such matters. Saying that, I really would like to know where Kate came up with that hairstyle, tho! lol

considering that the show is in repeats now, the interview seems odd. they want politicians to get involved??? but it is interesting they are blaming the network, not jon or kate.


did read on E that the interview couch is going away and now there will be an interview chair. they won't be interveiwing together.

I have never seen CBS Early Show in repeats, especially since they do current news. Maybe you're thinking of a different show, Tex?

I heard on TV last night that the show will be back next week. ?? So, it sounds like they have pieced enough footage together for some more eps. Maybe that's why the uncle and aunt were back on TV.
