A spokesperson is always going to spin things into a positive light. They don't want people giving interviews to be slammed, then people won't want to interview there. A spokesperson is just a PR person. I'd believe the staffers, the grunts doing the work, over a PR person any day. My DD does the best fake cry with real tears and all. It has nothing to do with the tears. It's the ability to turn it on and off when it suits you best. LOL.

I got a chuckle out of the "Today Show spokesperson" who had to make a comment/correction on Kate's disposition on the set of The Today Show. Obviously someone from Camp Kate got wind of word being spread about her nastiness on the set and called The Today Show and had them drop everything and make it all better for Kate. Come in Kate embrace your personality!

LOL well what is obvious to some is, to others, not so obvious Tears become no tears or fake tears whatever.. Lovely Jon quote from August 17 People Mag (Farrah on the cover) This is just the end of the article.. don't have a link, yet, just the actual paper magazine-
quote:Jon's mood has seemed positively upbeat over recent weeks. During his latest stint at home with the kids, he signed autographs for fans waiting outside the family's Wernersville, Pa., home -- and later welcomed a female friend over to the house in the wee hours of the morning (she was spotted by paparazzi ducking her head out of the garage a few hours later). Despite his popularity around his hometown, Jon confessed he couldn't wait to get back to his new bachelor pad on Manhattan's Upper West Side. "When I'm here, I'm kind of like, ugh, but when I'm there, I'm like, yeah, he told reporters. "It's cool People leave you alone there." For now Kate has yet to find a cool retreat of her own. One place not on the list? Rockville, Md., where tabloids claimed she'd been shopping for condos. ""It's totally false," says a source. "She is not buyinf or renting in the area." And she probably won't. Says a pal: "She would never choose to be so far from home.
" The pictures with the article include one of Jon at the gate chatting with a couple of female fans and in the background, under a tree, we can clearly see a German Shepherd Dog, so the dogs were still there as of July 25, the date given for that picture. (the strange part of that picture is that apparently there is a person back next to the dog and just his head shows over the top board of the fence so it looks like a tiny shrunken head sitting on the fence right next to Jon's face. (I'd have photoshopped that out, I think)

i could see how he might like NYC better because of the lack of paps. I have heard many 'celebrities' say they aren't hounded in NYC like they are elsewhere.

I wonder why when Jon speaks everyone assumes that he is lying and when Kate speaks she is telling the truth. If people are feeling that way, then my guess is that it's because Jon has seemingly been caught in various lies.

So far it seems any lies told to us, or a better wording would be truths hidden from us, seem to be the months of cover up both Jon and Kate did. They were basically lying to the fans of their tv show by pretending to be a happy family for 6 or more months for the tv cameras. I do believe Kate ended the marriage back in late '98. I think is was January when the very first picture of Jon with someone else was published. I know I brushed it off as tabloid fodder for sure at that point, until Kate's brother came forth and first told us that Kate ended it and they were only together for the filming days. Of course what I choose to believe is different than others. To me it sounds like the simplest explanation, and you know what they say about the simplest explanation.

Fact- Jon still talks to all his family, mother and siblings. Fact- Kate does not speak to her mother or father and I believe most of her siblings. That speaks volumes.

Sometimes there are good reasons not to speak to family, just saying.

That would have started up a whole new round of posts, Naja! LOL The only family member from either side to speak publicly is Kate's brother and sil, right? Jon has said his mother is around, but she doesn't like to appear on camera. I am not disputing his word, but we only have his statement of that, right?

Weren't his side of the family all at the Hawaii wedding last August? None from her side. I guess you argue that lots of them live there anyway, but it shows they still talk.

I read Kate was estranged from the friend who helped her write her first book. She's now estranged from her brother and sis-in-law. I think it says more about Kate when she seems to be estranged from most people from her past. One has to begin to look at the person who can't seem to get along with family and old friends before you can blame all those old friends and family as being unworthy. But yes, I feel they both were dishonest to the cameras and the viewers for several months, putting on a "happy family" show for us. I guess that's probably what any of us would do if we had a TV contract, but it does make anything else they tell us suspect.

I know I felt kind of betrayed over their supposed renewal of vows, but what about dupping their kids by telling them that they were doing it so they could prove to them that they would always be together. That is unforgivable to do that to the kids, and I am blaming that on both of them....shame, shame, shame.

naja, i don't believe any family members traveled to Hawaii for the wedding. the members of jon's family who came were all hawaii relatives. i didn't see the Today show interview, but read online where Kate said she truly believed the renewal was real. i will say, i don't think jon would have put his family through a sham wedding and meeting his family.

Kate is still wearing her wedding ring and talking about how hard it is doing things alone that they used to do together. Jon is shtupping everything that moves and would rather spend time doing that than being close to his children instead of living several hours away. But if Kate were put up for sainthood some people would still hate her and put him up for father of the year and sole custody. I just don't get it. It must be really hard to keep rooting for Jon and putting down Kate when he can't keep it in his pants and she's not spending time with anyone but the kids.

Hi Twinkie. Kate has her weeks away from the kids too, just as much as Jon does. They take turns. Maybe they do different things on their weeks off, but Kate is not spending every minute with the children as you describe.

Twinkie, weeks may have been the wrong word, maybe it's days, but Jon and Kate both described their arrangement as taking turns with the children. How about you find some kind of chart showing Kate is there every day? You can't, just like I can't name exactly when Jon is there. I am going by how they themselves described their arrangement. Obviously yesterday when Kate was doing the tv show in New York, she wasn't with the children. eta, and what's so ridiculous about one having the kids one week and the other having them the next? That's seems reasonable to me.

That is reasonable, Naja, as long as Jon keeps his bimbos out of his kid's house.

I think other than her book tours when Jon was home, Kate hasn't been leaving the kids except when it is Jon's turn for the house and then she is somewhere nearby and as she says, "reachable by cellphone". On August 3, per People and in a picture they show them running into each other outside the UPS store and Jon says they are "cordial" when they see each other. That would have to be on Jon's weeks in PA, since on the off weeks he is in Manhattan or the Hamptons or Cannes. And the paps clearly DID follow him in Manhattan as shown by the many pictures of him with Kate Major. They also followed him in the Hamptons and in Cannes. But perhaps those are more exciting. Still too bad that his rather inarticulate description of being in PA (where he sees his children) is summarized as "like, ugh" while being away is "like, yeah".
