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".


true, sea. he said something along the same lines last night and my first reaction was 'i am sure he didn't mean that the way it sounded'.

Doing to the Today Show and her luncheon last week near her body guard's home are just as far away as Jon's apt. These are just the couple things we know of.

that is so true, Naja. And there was a picture of Mrs Gosselin with her bodyguard yesterday and...well, I guess since she denied it I have to believe her, just as everyone believed Jon when he denied his affair before the breakup, but....wow.

She denied the affair, but she admitted she was near his home the other day for some kind of luncheon.

She was having lunch with the bodyguard's WIFE. They are friends. Talk about looking hard for something to hang on Kate.

Didn't Kate fire 40 assistants/babysitters in one month??? Thought I read that somewhere. I no longer watch the "How can I get free stuff for the rest of my life?" TLC show but I did see her on the Today show and she said absolutely nothing new...

For what it's worth, I also wore my wedding ring for months after my first husband left me. It was a denial thing. As hard as divorce was without children, I can't imagine what Kate's going thru with 8 little ones missing Daddy! My heart goes out to her. Jon says he's not having a "mid-life crisis or anything." If he's not, I'd hate to see what one looks like when he does get around to it!

He said that he had his ears pierced since he was 15, but for at least the last 9 years he didn't wear earrings (Mady seemed awfully surprised to see his earrings!) I couldn't help but wonder why his holes didn't close up...mine did! LOL

I got my ears pierced as a teen. I am in my 40s now. I haven't worn earrings hardly ever (some years never) in about 17 years. Mine haven't closed.

Re: family...back in one of the early eps, I thought Jon and Kate both said that Kate's parents weren't that involved and both J&K declined to give a reason why. (They did take care of the twins when Kate was in the hospital and preg. with the sextuplets.) I also thought Jon said that his dad had been very close to them but his mom had chosen not to be very involved with J&K and the kids. And then he said something about his mom having a life with her new husband...I think. I think this was during the first Q&A show.

After there being absolutely no truth to the Maryland condo apt thing (Kate said that. She said there never was a condo or apt.), I am not going to believe anything that doesn't directly come from Kate or Jon. As far as when they say contradictory things, it is kind of hard for me to believe Jon when he says Kate said in Oct. that it was over and she says he and she have different ideas about when things really ended. She said she meant those renewal vows last summer. That is not very far away from Oct. (Maybe she did say it was over then. Maybe it was during a fight. People say all kinds of things they don't mean in the heat of the moment. Not that either of them ever said that. I'm saying that.)

He denied cheating on Kate during this past spring, but he didn't really say what that meant. Maybe he doesn't think he was cheating because in his heart he had separated. The thing for me is that he wasn't officially separated and he was photographed with other women in inappropriate places at inappropriate times when his wife was out of town and then got together publicly with a woman romantically almost immediately after they announced their separation. That is telling to me. His behavior makes me trust him less. Since Kate has not behaved in the same way as Jon, it is easier for me to believe Kate on subjects that they are saying contradictory things about.

My trust in Jon is really gone (not that it matters, he is not a part of my life...I'm just sayin') and trust is a really hard thing to get back. In fact, unless it is a child we're talking about, I think you never really get it back 100%.

I think they both were shown in good and bad light when they were together...on their show...I'm not talking about tabloids. I also think they were shown being human. I bet for every gum freak out incident etc., Kate had lots of positive moments. I bet for every stick Jon broke because he was annoyed, there were many positive moments.

I had mine pierced at age 19 or for my 20th birthday and wore earrings for years but then didn't wear them for years and I had to work at it but was able to get them both open again and have worn earrings ever since. And his may have been larger holes done with fairly thick posts. So that is likely true. Plus if he had just gone out and had his ears pierced he'd not be advised to take the earrings out until the ears wre all healed.

Finally watched last night's new ep and interesting that Kate is working on her cleanliness thing (with the pudding) and that TLC blurred Jon's ugly graphics on the clothing he's been sporting.

I didn't think Kate sounded all that ungrateful, she admitted to having had a long ride and being cranky but told us how much she loved the new kitchen. As for having a friend put all the stuff away, that is always a mixed blessing.. even Jon said he couldn't find anything and I know that I'm not very kitchen oriented, yet I like to set up all my own cupboards and drawers and have a certain logic that makes sense to me.. where stuff is stored. I had a friend come stay with me once while I was recovering from knee surgery and she tended to need "projects" and she chose to completely re-do my kithen cabinets and she was so puzzled when I was NOT grateful.. heck I couldn't find anything!

Also was interesting to me that earlier there were accusations that Mady and Cara were yanked out of school, but it seems it was only for a certain length of time and they were sent home ahead of Kate and the little ones so they could attend the end of school and class picnic, with Jon taking them to school.

I used to think that it was a sin to miss a day of school for anything except being deathly ill... got that from my mom, I suppose. A friend of mine used to take his kids out of school for long weekends skiing or surfing or whatever and he wasn't worried as long as they kept their grades up. For a week in Hawaii, his son would bring along school work.

And looking back.. his daughter has her PhD and a good job and two great kids and his son has a business degree and is a successful broker for retail properties, while still being a sponsored surfer and living hear the beach. They didn't get perfect attendance awards, but are really well rounded young adults. So, I'd say I was probably wrong.

As for the truth.. well you know that 10 people can see the same incident and have 10 different stories and that is when they are trying to be completely accurate.

I know I specifically told my ex at one point that I was DONE and would give him time to get a job, but I wanted to end our marriage.. well after almost three years I had to realize that he wasn't about to get a job and thought I would always stay. But if you asked him, he was totally shocked and surprised when I finally did leave. Different truths, selective hearing..

Wish Kate could enjoy snakes more.. I would have been right in there with Alexis, loving every scaley minute.

Didn't mean threesome guys. Just in case someone thinks like that!
He cheated on each of them with the other.

Kate is going to be on Regis and Kelly on Thursday, but it was taped today and I guess Regis asked something he wasn't supposed to ask.

I thought they went to the media to tell everyone they weren't going to be doing interviews, so what happened to that?

Jon mentioned a 45 period of not commenting on each other.. that seems to be over.

Kate Major.. well she is or was deluded or totally misled..

As for Regis, isn't that kind of his schtick to be sort of cluelessly off the wall? Sort of like the grandfather saying now, now, I'm sure this will all blow over and you will get back together.. he should have been interviewing Kate Major and saying that.. she might grasp that straw.


quote:

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.”

A shocked Kate had no response as the show cut to a commercial break.

What happened? Well, ratings were down for their show... so time to trot out and get that media attention back up. :-)

I wasn't sure I totally bought the interview she gave on Today's. With the comment made about Kelly and her bonding and her demeanour during the breaks (article) maybe I was wrong. I'm not a big fan of his but I can't quite make an opinion on Kate. I said I wouldn't watch the show but of course I did, lol, she has changed. Looks like someone has coached her about how to act and what to say to respond on all the critics made about her. It surely changed the mind of a lot of people by reading different forums. He is the bad guy now. Not so long ago she was the evil wife to poor Jon. I hope for the kids this will phase out soon. It's not a problem now but when they get older this information will remains for them to read. That's why I would never post harsh comments like I'm reading elsewhere, especially about them.

Ratings are not down, except for that ratings spike when they announced the separation and divorce filing.. I think the recent ratings are right around where they normally were for this show.. and were quite good for that type of reality show on TLC..

And I guess maybe Jon just said he wouldn't bring Hailey to the home right away and could technically say he didn't bring this one home.. just that she was hired as a babysitter and Jon must have considered this as a ittle extra perk.. and I'm SURE it is okay to be sleeping with the babysitter while the kids are away with mom.. hmm


quote:

While Kate Gosselin is taking her eight kids camping, Jon is having his own kind of sleepover.

The "Jon & Kate Plus 8" patriarch reportedly spent the night with a new woman he hired to baby-sit his children, RadarOnline.com reported.

Gosselin's new nighttime pal is said to be Stephanie Santoro, a 23-year-old single mom who also is a cocktail waitress and aspiring model.

Santoro apparently told people that the reality star hired her to watch his kids, but Radar reports of a different story.

The new gal works part-time at Legends, one of Gosselin's favorite night spots in Reading, Pa., where the father of eight spent Saturday sitting at a table with Santoro.

The new couple were seen leaving the bar before 3 a.m. and drove together in Gosselin's car back to his family's million-dollar Wernersville home.

Santoro reportedly spent the night in Jon's apartment over the garage.

Hmm. Not exactly where a babysitter is supposed to stay, now is it?

Gosselin's latest conquest did her best to sneak out of the property around 7:15 a.m. Sunday, but was caught by paparrazi doing the walk of shame in the same outfit she wore the night before.

The Gosselin abode shouldn't be unfamiliar territory to the single mom because she reportedly brought her 2-year-old son to the property before.

Santoro is the latest twentysomething female to fall for Gosselin's charms.

His last "relationship" was with former Star reporter Kate Major, 26, who is riding out her five minutes of fame and blabbing to E! News about the "instant chemistry" between her and the dad of eight in a three-part special this week.

As for his first gal pal, 22-year-old Hailey Glassman, Gosselin said his "heart is always with Hailey."

Sure, that's believable.

I don't think Jon's poor behavior now in any way excuses how Kate's treated him the past few years. Just because I'm disgusted with Jon doesn't mean I'm going to be sympathetic to Kate at all. Maybe she will change from this, become a kinder person, if so I think that would be a very good thing.

Yes, I'd agree it seems she's been coached. She comes across as very meek, beaten down in the morning interview. Not at all like the snarky Kate we see when she's running the roost at home. And a sharp contrast to how the TV grunts said she acted behind the scenes.

As for Regis's comment, man, I do like him, but clueless old grandpa is a good call. He obviously hasn't been following along. I think their chances of getting back together are between slim and none.

Just read the articles re kate's appearance on the Regis & Kelly and the Today show. According to both articles, she was crying and/or on the verge of tears, even during the commercial breaks, and seemed very down.

Question: If she's really this upset, why is she making so many TV talk show appearances? Does she need the $$? More "fame"? What?

Maybe for her mental/emotional health she just needs to go away and lick her wounds in private.

It may be an obligation for her TLC job? Or maybe because Jon is also making the rounds? Though his planned visit to one tabloid show was nixed by TLC, I read in one of those articles.

I don't think it is a matter of one or the other.. Jon's stomach turning current life doesn't make Kate better or worse and her past snarkiness didn't make Jon better or worse..
