Yup, that's a doobie. But I'm not sure he had earrings in. I thought it was the lighting.

They're definitely earrings. I thought they were small hoops when I first watched, but they might be diamonds. It's hard to tell with the low resolution of the video.

Finally got that video to work: 1) Kate's right - you can't put the houses out of sight or the kids will never use them. Too bad they couldn't discuss it before Jon did all that work. 2) Whatever you think about Kate (and count me as NOT in her fan club), she has obviously been taken down a notch with all this while Jon has gotten MEAN. Kate seems very humbled while I am sure Jon thinks he is being assertive but he's just petulant and childish IMO. I've said before that I stopped watching the show at the beginning of last season and except for the premiere this season have not watched since. Won't watch this Monday either, don't want to reward TLC. Too many other ways to have my curiousity sated come Tuesday morning. LOL ETA: Earrings are really obvious in the couch interview part of the clip posted up thread.

LOL, Julie. That is how many Chinese guys I've seen take drags from their cigies. I wouldn't want the little ones' houses to be way out in the woods either. Remember how Henna was hurt in there? That's too far away from the main house or adults. I have a much smaller but still big enough backyard. Big enough to fit a tennis court and four big Pine(?) trees w/ surrounded gardens. When the girls were young, DH wanted to put their playhouse and swing sets way the other side of the court, too. I talked him out of it, had everything less than 100 meters form the back door. I used to be able to keep an eye on them while working in the kitchen. It felt much safer even with 3,4 yos. It was also a lot less work bring toys,lunch or refreshments around. BTW, I never left them outside that long, never had to do the emergency 100 meters dash. DH was really happy when they gave him the permission to move everything waaaay back couple Summers ago. I kinda miss it....

I've got to get away from this little obsession before it gets out of hand...but I am going to confess that I rewatched some parts of that video looking for wedding bands. The lighting definitely caught earrings on both ears. I see a ring on his finger in the pic above, but it isn't his wedding band, I don't think. It looks too clunky. I couldn't tell on the video. Outside, Kate had on a clunky ring on her left middle finger but I don't think she had her wedding band on. When she is on the couch, it looks like she is wearing her wedding band. And I have to stop this stuff. It isn't fun (the way it would be for something like the Bachelorette, which I am not interested in doing right now because I don't want to be spoiled.) and I'm so sad for them no matter what their announcement is. They are so unhappy. In the video, especially Kate is. Jon appears to have moved on, but that is just my opinion only. I supppose I was looking around for clues that they will not announce they are splitting. But in doing that, I know I am promoting them staying in the public eye and I don't want to do that.

What they shoulda done was put three where Kate wanted them and three where Jon did! I'm curious to see just how far the difference really is. Maybe they could have gone halfsies! I'm also guessing Kate is likely not too happy about Jon smoking. Doobie or otherwise!

Looks like a white cigarette filter to me. Wow. I'm kinda sorry I posted that pic. Didn't expect the jump to conclusion, there. lol And, I'm pretty sure if you look at pics of the young studly Jon, you will see his ear rings.

I think it could most definitely be a reg cigarette! It's the way he is holding it in the pic, which could just be a "guy's" way of holding it.

quote:"Jon Gosselin Goes Apartment Hunting in New York" "Jon Gosselin returned to the home he shares with wife Kate and their eight children in Wernersville, Penn., on Friday – after a day of apartment hunting in New York City. A source close to the situation has confirmed to PEOPLE that Gosselin, 32, checked out property at Trump Place, a complex of high-rise residential buildings on Manhattan's Upper West Side. "[Jon] has been going back and forth to New York a lot" a source tells PEOPLE. The search for real estate (first reported on Gawker.com) comes in the wake of news from TLC that Monday's episode of Jon & Kate Plus Eight – the reality show that made Jon and Kate Gosselin famous – will include a major announcement about the future of their family, fueling speculation the troubled couple may part ways. "There's definitely a lot of drama going on but from my understanding he's doing fine," the source said. When Jon returned to the family home on Friday, he was driving a black BMW and seen smoking at the side of the residence. Kate , 34, left the home early in the day,while the kids were spotted playing in the yard, according to an eyewitness." • Reporting by MARK DAGOSTINO and DIANE HERBST
You know, for someone who was complaining so much of what the "lime-light" was bringing, Trump Towers is pretty high-end. Wonder if he's expecting an extremely good payout from the divorce??

I'll watch again, Holly, to look and see if those were earrings. It could have been the lighting. Btw, is Jon wearing his wedding band (or a gold ring like a wedding band) on his right hand in the video in which he's moving dirt in preparation for the Crooked Houses?

I wasn't able to post when you all were discussing spanking, but it was a fascinating discussion. I wanted to tell you all something that my 91-yr-old grandmother has said to me many, many times. She says that God put extra padding on a child's behind to cushion him when he falls--and to provide a place for correcting the child's misbehavior. I'll give her that much. But then she adds that some parents go too far and spank too hard, possibly causing damage to the child's spinal column. Instead, she offers, a parent should take a switch off a tree (a green, supple, slender limb) and switch a child's legs in order to correct his behavior. She says that, and I'll quote her, "You can hurt a child's backbone by spanking too hard, but you can switch a kid's legs until the blood trickles down them and do no lasting harm." I have to say that I told my 12-yr-old son this yesterday and he said, "Sure, unless you count emotional damage!!" From the mouths of babes!

Kate's right - you can't put the houses out of sight or the kids will never use them. Why wouldn't they use them? I had a play house that wasn't near the house, and I LIVED in it! Never played anywhere else. If it's for the kid's safety, I'd think that no matter where the houses were, even if they were in the front lawn, a parent, babysitter, nanny, whatever would need to be outside with them due to the attention they get to keep the kids safe.

So, Jon would move completely out of state if he and Kate are divorcing? Is he divorcing the children also? The new episode can't get here soon enough...to end the speculation.

Doesn't the gal that he's supposedly friends with live in NY? Maybe he wants a relationship, since Kate seems to be done with him. At least it's closer than Utah; however, if they lose the show and neither work, they won't be able to keep up two expensive residences for long and Kate can only sell her book for so long.

Maybe they are all moving to Trump Tower. I mean, that is a possibility, isn't it? If I were leaving my lovely home to move to Trump Tower in hopes of avoiding constant harassement, I'd have some tissues and be boo-hooing too. And with that, I take my leave from the J&K+8 thread and speculations.

I really can not understand why they feel the need to sit on a couch and tell the world through tears what is wrong with their marriage and what they are going to do about it. I can't stand when she says she puts her kids first and then they do this. This will haunt their kids forever. I just don't get it. The whole playhouses in different areas.... the difference I think is that Jon goes out in the woods with the kids and plays with them. She herself says she doesn't do the woods thing, she does a yard thing and in most pictures or clips sitting in a chair; she is admittedly not the outdoor person. I think they were picking the place that fit their needs in both cases. I also think they are at that place of anger that you see couples who are divorcing go through; that anything that has a decision to be made both go for the opposite sides, it is almost instinct when you are at that point of anger. I have a friend that is at that point right now and I don't think she gets how ridiculous or irrational it is; debating stuff that in real life would never be a debate or matter enough to you to want to choose another side.

I grabbed a handful of magazines to take to the hospital (lol, not that I got a chance to read them) and one was US, which I've previously avoided, but they have pics of Jon clearly wearing an earring, if that is a question.

I don't think there is any speculation, Monday's show will be the "official" statement of separation followed by divorce. Kate sounded a bit scripted and actor-ish. They've been paid very well over the last years and at this moment are swimming in cash (compared to when this show started) I just hope they manage it well because those 15 mins go fast. Although, buying real estate right now is a smart way to invest ones money as long as you're not selling. The -where to place the Crooked Houses- was typical Jon and Kate and surely one of the factors that have them breaking their family up.

There just seems to be too much pointing to the fact that they are going to say they are seperating. But it just does not feel right that they would annouce this, and not fair to the kids. I think the change they are going to announce is that they are going to stop doing the show and focus on the family. Then if in a few weeks they break up, and the kids do not have to live with the fact that thier parents broke up publicly. At least I hope they are thinking about how this announcement is going to affect the kids. btw I have never seen this show, this is my opinion from what I have read and heard.

I dont think they are going to announce a separation or divorce because that is just to dang obvious. I think they are announcing they are done with the show. TLC wants us to think one thing while it is really something else. Maybe one day down the line they can do a show and call it Jon and Kate Separ-8.

They won't be announcing that they're ending the show. TLC has them signed into a contract for another 40 episodes and I doubt they can legally get out of it and TLC is making far too much money off of them to let them. It's cold-hearted, but it's the truth. TLC won't let them out of their contract. Maybe at the end of this season, but not before.

Not just a commercial. It's the commercial in combination with all the tabloid reports. Between visiting lawyers, apartment hunting, separate vacations, other women, etc, ...it's certainly more than just a commercial leading to the conclusions about Monday's show.
