He basically wasn't asking, he was telling her, oh I'm sure he'll say he's sorry and you'll get back together.. Had anyone pulled that on me just after I filed for divorce I don't think I'd have been too gracious in my reply. That wasn't an interview question.. the question was would they get back together and she had no comment.. then I gather Regis took it to the next step. Michael, I guess I was giving him the benefit of the doubt since he is older.. the older you get the less you use filters on what you say, it seems at times.

This was pulled from the nytimes article cited above: Perhaps the 77-year-old host should have kept his opinions similarly discreet, but he didn’t. “I think you [and your husband] will get back together and live happily ever after,” Philbin said. “I think everything is going to work itself out — he’ll say he’s sorry, that he loves you and everything will be good.” IMO, it was a stupid comment to say to someone he doesn't know personally. Maybe people who don't see a problem with the question would see if differently if he'd said something similar to those 8 children. People would be up in arms.

Guess that is the chance Kate takes when she goes on tour. I mean does she really think no one is gonna ask her any hard questions or comment on the harsh side??? I'm guessing she is getting paid for these gigs.

I just saw the interview. To me, Regis came off as someone more concerned about a marriage and family than a tv. He even asked her 'don't you think things would be better if the tv show was off the air?'. Her reply was that is the way they are supporting their family. Then it went to break. After the break they came back and she seemed less tense. At the end, both Regis and Kelly commented on what a good mom she was, and it struck me again that Regis was coming from a place of caring for a family, not a tv show.

I think it was a stupid thing to say to anyone in Kate's situation. No one but the two people involved knows for sure what went on inside their marriage. For a 3rd party to suggest that it will all work out happily is beyond presumptuous (sp?). I feel bad for Kate. I know I was a mess for the first several weeks/months of my divorce. It's very stressful and sad. Of course she's teary during commercials. I'm sure she has commitments with TLC to fulfill, or she probably would be at home licking her wounds.

It wasn't near as uncomfortable as the articles said it would be, but then again I noticed at least two chopping points where the interview was edited.

I think the reason Kate has made a couple of appearances now is to play defense against jon's comments that he's publically made and the other nasties that have been said in the tabloids. She did sit around and lick her wounds for awhile, but I couldn't sit back with all that had been said and all that has happened and not say anything at all. She held back longer than I would, and she's been a heck of a lot nicer than I would have been.

Thanks for posting that Annie. Glad Regis asked that. Too bad Kate did not answer the question though. Saying that is how they're supporting their family does not answer whether or not she thinks things would be better without the show. Too bad Kate does not have a Regis in her real life and it does sound like he was more concerned about her family than their TV show.

I agree Naja, it wasn't near of an uncomfortable, awkward interview as reported. I also noticed those edits too. We also can't forget the new season just started and there is usually interviews related to that.

from Enewsonline...a pretty good transcript... ...The whole thing starts when Regis asks about how the family works now that she and Jon are separated. "I hold out hope that there will be times that it will be Jon & Kate and the kids," she says. "My main goal is to do, if nothing else, holidays together and different things together." This clearly sends shockwaves through Regis' cosmic signals. "I just have a feeling, like, I think the separation is going to come to an end, and I think he's going to come back and he 's going to say, 'Please marry me again,' and I think you're going to live happily every after," Regis says. "Now what do you think of that?" The original octomom is taken aback by the question but laughs along with the audience. "Wow. He's an optimist," she replies, looking at Kelly Ripa for reassurance. "He's totally going off on his own right now, just so you know," the cohost says. Regis is unrelenting, adding, "I just feel like that is what's going to happen here." "We definitely have different goals at this point. A lot has changed. A lot of unexpected things have come up. It's not ideal and I can't say that I think you're right at all," she answers, clearly hoping this would be the end of the line of questioning. It isn't. "If he came back tomorrow, Kate, and said, 'Look, let's put the past behind us. I want to spend the rest of my life with you and the kids,' what would you say?" "I don't think I can answer that," Kate squirms. "A lot of our lives are public, but a lot is private as well. Anything that you see, it has been very, very much filtered. I mean, I use my kids as a yardstick. What you see is what I want them to be able to see. It's not necessarily all." Regis continues to ask if Kate thinks "this would all go away" if the cameras were off, and she again doubts that to be the case. Later in the interview, she (sort of) addresses plastic surgery rumors and admits that she and Jon do "work pretty well together" when it comes to balancing their schedules and times with the kids. However, unlike on the Today show, she does not mention Jon's ladyloves. That's OK, though. You can get your fill on Monday at 7 and 11:30 p.m., when Hailey has her first official interview exclusively on E! News.

She's really going to give an interview about her relationship with Jon? What's next, a reality show featuring Jon with his many "loves"? Instead of juggling kids he'll be juggling his 20-somethings? Too much.

Stupid question here. I thought Regis and Kelly was supposed to be a live show. If so, why was the interview taped the day before?

Her reply was that is the way they are supporting their family. Then it went to break. With 61% less viewers, does Kate really think this is how she and Jon will be able to support the kids in the future? The children make this show, not Jon and Kate. I feel like they are living off their children. Why is she doing all these interviews?

Probably for the cash. Why else?! ---- The Regis interview really was much less tense/more lighthearted than I thought it was after reading all that stuff yesterday. Thanks for the transcripts Annie.

FYI from ETONLINE: "Jon & Kate Plus 8" star Jon Gosselin is planning to hit Sin City for a big poolside bash -- sans his big family. People.com reports that the reality star is set to host a pool party at MGM Grand's Wet Republic on Aug. 29. According to an announcement obtained by People, Jon will be there for "a little R&R and will be hosting poolside." Jon will also be in Las Vegas for the annual MAGIC fashion trade show relating to his reported clothing line with designer Christian Audigier, says the mag.

Grooch, the show is live, but sometimes they tape segments to fit a guest's schedule or if they run long on the show and then show it the next day.

Bought the movie '17 Again' for dd's this week and there is a point when the 40 yr old main character is trying to dress like an average 17 yr old would and shows up in Ed Hardy.... Jon came immediately to mind. LOL I guess I am out of the style loop 'cause I had never heard of the clothing line before Jon started wearing the shirts everywhere.

Rissa that's funny because when my granddaughter saw a photo of Jon she asked me "who's the old dude dressed for high school." I guess the line is for younger people.

radar online has the details of today's Jon and Kate story http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2009/08/exclusive-cops-called-jon-and-kate-gosselins-house-after-arugment police called - Kate tried to get to house, ended up checking into a Days Inn - no arrests, just plenty of drama - and if you click on some of the links (or just go to the "home" link to see some of the pictures - they started with a snapshot of Jon shopping with Leah - the page talks about TLC not being around to blur his shirt - thought that was funny! how is this good for the kids? Is it time to give them an intervention? Dr Phil? Demi Moore and Bruce Willis?

Nice. How lovely for the children. Oh yeah, they are both clearly thinking of their kids first and foremost. BOTH of them.

I think we all suspected they'd be fighting over the kids. Gosh, it really is too bad the little ones have to go through this. Can you imagine how scared they must be when the cops are called?

different show, but on Regis and Kelly, Kelly told Candy Spelling rather strongly that she needed to make up with her daughter. I guess we can't really blast Regis for his comment to Kate.

I guess we can't really blast Regis for his comment to Kate. Why can't we? Some might think Kelly should be blasted for her comment too. Personally, if a person chooses to go on a talk show, they should expect questions they might not be prepared to answer. Simple as that. I've decided I'm going to adopt Aaden. There's 7 more kids left, any takers?

I wish I could say I can't believe the cops were called, but my hubby's ex called the cops on him all the time. Until the time she called the cops because he didn't have the kids out of his car one minute BEFORE the drop off time. She spent a night in jail for that, and never called again.
