Guess Jon has un-reconciled with Jodi and her husband or he is still hoping to go back ON the show with Kate and the kids. I think the other shows are in other states, so it would be up to the powers that be in each of those states if they wanted to go after those other families. Roloff kids aren't all that young, even Jacob. Yep, if Jodi was still ON the show I'm sure all would be fine with her, too.

I think I'd care a lot less if she actually looked like she was enjoying what she was doing and was halfway decent at it. But to go out there and do this and then whine about it, about being a single mom and being away from her kids? Yeah, she signed up for this. I didn't. Costacat, I couldn't agree with you more. Kate isn't brave to sign up knowing she can't dance. Once again, it's all about the money; that's why she did it and has a huge nerve complaining it's hard for her....a HUGE nerve.

Yep, if Jodi was still ON the show I'm sure all would be fine with her, too. She would have been if not for Kate, who doesn't share well. I'm thinking Jon is once again being forced to say what he is because he is still under contract with TLC. Look what happened when he actually said what he wanted...they sued him. Since he doesn't have deep pockets and no job, he must say what they allow. It stinks and I truly hope he still does have a relationship with Jodi and Kevin, because Kate never will and those children deserve to see their cousins.

LOL.. I think he's being forced to say what he says by attorneys who want him to start earning money to pay off the large bills he has run up with them.

From what huge tasks Kate has taken on I hope she gets to laugh all the way to the bank...and have the last laugh to boot. The girl's got guts evidenced by refusing to reduce the number of babies and carrying them all to birth. Keep going, Kate. There are lots of us out here who wish you much success and happiness.

However she may feel about her ex-husband, Gosselin doesn’t reveal it in her book, “I Just Want You to Know: Letters to My Kids on Love, Life and Family.” “One of the things I like about your book is that you’re reasonably fair and quite kind to your husband because he’s still the dad and the kids will read it,” Leno said. “I won’t ever write anything nasty because the book to me is like a print interview. I don’t want my kids to be able to get a hold of that and [read] bad things,” Gosselin said. “I came up with the title because I say all the time; I’m a traveling, working mom that brings a certain amount of guilt. I always say, I just want my kids to know that I love them.” from People.com

“One of the things I like about your book is that you’re reasonably fair and quite kind to your husband because he’s still the dad and the kids will read it,” Leno said. Unlike her ex who said on national television that he despised Kate. Those kids are not stupid. Right now he is daddy and all is well. When they are adults and look back on this past year they will see who the problem was.

He has a right to despise her. <77> in the real world she is not liked, I don't care how many shows she goes on and re-invents who she really is. What she really is is a woman who harped on her husband and then dumped him...end of story. A divorce ensued, but said woman thought by then she was a star and TLC foolishly continues to let her. I 'read' she was paid 1 million dollars for her lastest book. They will not recoup that money. The reviews are bad, saying it's 8 letters to 8 children...boring.

He has no right to announce it though, especially where his children will hear and feel the effects of "Daddy despising Mommy" Yes, he has a right to his feelings. And from what I got, Jon dumped Kate and refused to even discuss it with her. I can remember her saying "he won't even talk to me, he's just gone." I honestly cannot believe that we are harping on a woman who was left with 8 kids so her husband, who stated he didn't want that many kids, could go off and make his sexual rounds with every tartlet he could get his hands on. And, on top of that ROBBED their account of money (meaning he robbed his children) and doesn't work or pay child support, but is sure out there playing the broken party, yet not doing a damn thing about it.

When Neicy did the first of her interview with Kate, she said she was happy to see a new/different Kate than she saw on tv previously and she did think this was real. Dr Drew Pinsky was there and he also said he thought it was genuine. =========== Our paper reported on the child labor question. and hmm guess who was in the picture with a sour looking Jodi and her husband, whispering into his ear? Gloria Allred! Why am I so not surprised? ===== You can "read" almost anything, but believing without knowing it is true and then passing it along, doesn't make it true. Just saying. ==== He has a right to despise her but HE himself has subsequently said that wasn't really the correct word, just in the heat of the moment and that he regretted saying it. He's nothing if not erratic with his statements of course. === Escapeee.. technically, Jon is paying child support.. of course the money is coming from the money he took from the account which he was forced to return to an escrow account and he has no control over/access to it so as long as it lasts "he" is paying child support. If that started when the divorce was final in December and the amount was just over $100,000 and the child support is $21,000 a month then come May or June or thereabouts, he needs to be making money and parting with it, or he needs to succeeed in grabbing onto custody and money from Kate, or something.

While Jon has every right to despise Kate, the point she was making was that she will not say anything against him because it would ultimately hurt the children and unlike him, she puts her children's feelings above her own. The only reason he wants custody is to get the kids to support him through Kate's child support. He will never be able to contribute what Kate can, but I'd have some level of respect for him if he had a job. ANY job. If he were flipping burgers or working as a day laborer and was only able to send them $50 a month, at least he'd be doing something for his kids. All he has done so far is move away from them and party with every <self moderated> who would have him.

Absolutely Kate was not the best wife. Jon wasn't the best husband either. Their marriage failed. I do think they are both loving parents. Now, after the marriage failed...Kate has written a book, gone on DWTS and hosted some tv segments. Jon dated a series of women, traveled to Utah, Paris and Hawaii. Jon did go on national tv and said he despised kate. it's out there in public for his children to see. Kate has said she is not going to speak badly about him in public.

While I applaud her reticence, I'd applaud even more if she said nothing at all. I seriously doubt that the kids will have any problem finding out or figuring out what Kate thinks of Jon regardless of whether or not she announces it in public. For example, we all have a pretty clear idea of what she thinks of Jon. Kids are pretty smart. As soon as someone makes a statement like, "My Mamma taught me that if I have nothing good to say then don't say anything ....." and then trails off, we all know more or less what they are thinking.

He meets with Paparazzi, who'm he knows on a first name basis, and is an unsigned spokesmodel for Ed Hardy and Marlboro.

Actually as I remember it, he and Hailey were pitching a line of CHILDREN's Ed Hardy clothing and his idea was to have his kids be models. Hmm Jon and Kate have 8 kids and one divorce. Larry King has 5 kids, 7 marriages to 6 women, 1 annulment, 5 soon to be 6 divorces.. I saw a clip of Larry looking not a bit happier with the paparazzi than does Kate.

I watched the video of Kate on the Jay Leno show and thought she did really well. Jay asked what Jon did for a living and did he have a job and and she responded she didn't know and that she didn't think he had a job. Like I said I thought she did really well on his show.

I think he is unemployed (like many other people in America at this time). Kate on the other hand has been able to parlay her fame as a mom of sextuplets into various speaking engagements and public appearances (like DWTS). TLC has got the court to restrict Jon from those career options.

That's something that bothers me about the Kate Jon situation. Jon can't take advantage of opportunities like Kate can, and oh boy is she. She's got the world sympathizing with her because of Jon's indiscretions.

My understanding is that he can't make public appearances like Kate. And that would likely be a major source of income for him at this point. Sure he can look for other jobs but as many other Americans have found, they can be hard to find.

Under the terms of the contract NEITHER Jon or Kate is allowed to make public appearances or accept jobs without first clearing it with TLC in case it hurts their primary show (Jon and Kate plus 8). The difference is that Kate wants to work and gets the required clearance while Jon just wanted to do the talk show circuit and insult the network. We really have no idea how many requests Jon or Kate made that TLC said no to but we do know that had they stopped Jon from making money that Jon would have made sure the media knew about it. But isn't it mute anyway? I thought that contract expired earlier this year? ETA: Just did a quick check and it seems the contract expires in the next 2 weeks. Wonder if Jon is busy making photocopies of his resume? LOL
