Kate ‘hesitant to believe’ Jon was unfaithful
The mother of the eight tiny stars of “Jon & Kate Plus 8” vowed Thursday to survive the tabloid firestorm that has erupted over allegations that her husband cheated on her — charges that Jon Gosselin emphatically denies.

“We just need to weather this storm, just like all the other storms that we’ve been through,” Kate Gosselin told TODAY’s Meredith Vieira in New York. The tabloid attention and paparazzi have come as something of a surprise to her, she added.

“It is so public. It’s one of the things we did not envision when we started our show,” Gosselin said. “It’s one of the things that comes with it — the tabloid stuff. To be very honest, I’m very hesitant to believe any of it. It comes with the territory. We’re dealing with it just like everybody else does.”

Gosselin was ostensibly visiting TODAY to talk about her new best-selling book “Eight Little Faces,” but she spent much of her airtime with Vieira talking about the allegations, which were published in the current edition of Us Weekly. Jon Gosselin and their eight children had been scheduled to appear with her, but as controversy continued to swirl, the family decided Wednesday that it would be better if Jon stayed at home with the children.

1. Jon's probably gonna stay home with the children the rest of his life
There's more than one way to keep an eye on your husband.

You will find it's all about the money. Exploiting her children for the almighty dollar. Sick, sick, sick.

5. "We did not envision...the tabloid stuff..."

Jebus H. Christ on a...eight tricycles, did these people grow up on another planet?

Hey Kate--if you want to make big bucks on TV, get the free house and other stuff, and generally have the world kissing your ass and treating you like a celebrity, then guess what: yes, "the tabloid stuff" comes right along with it. Always worked that way.

Especially since you are not famous because you actually accomplished anything useful. You're the TV version of a circus side-show geek. You'd have never BEEN a celebrity except for your clown-car vagina. So STFU and enjoy your unearned wealth and undeserved celebrity. YOU shoved yourself and your family into the spotlight, so no whining allowed. Dumbshit.

I frankly hate all the breeder shows, especially the Duggars, since they belong to the weirdo right-wing Fundamentalist "Quiverfull" cult. I've noticed the media doesn't mention THAT little detail much. I foresee more and more idiots trying to come up with interesting herds of rug-rats, until one day they have their own Breeder Channel on cable.

They are much more down to earth and their kids aren't putting on a show for the cameras.

14. I don't like any of those "big family" shows.
Edited on Mon May-18-09 06:12 AM by gbate
I guess I just feel that the goal of those shows is to make the rest of us feel that our lives are so freaking easy with our one or two children.

7. The children are working and she's getting the money
There are no child labor laws for reality tv kids in PA, that's why they are still living there. They have no choice, but to film when "mom" says so. It's sick. She can earn a living without hurting her children, but she chooses not to. Those kids are going to need a lot of therapy as a result.

10. But WOULD they keep the TV show with the marriage dissolved?
Edited on Sun May-17-09 11:50 AM by rocktivity
THAT'S the gamble Kate can't afford to take--especially since there is now a show with TEN kids in it!

11. If TLC and Kate saw $$$ of course they would keep the show
TLC is just as guilty for using children like that. They have no plans to stop the show, look at how much publicity the show has gotten from the tabloids.

9. I refuse to watch these shows with the huge families
If anything, they should be a warning to aspiring breeders - it's really really really hard to successfully raise a large family in America today. But now we give the parents fame and fortune at the expense of the children (already born with a disadvantage - be it financial or attention time or both). These are not people we should put on a pedestal be it for admiration or ridicule. We should let them deal with the choices they made in private and pray to God (whether you believe in him or not) that the kids somehow end up alright.

19. I find that as time goes by, I know fewer and fewer of the people
whose faces grace the weekly rags. And it makes me proud!

20. I like Kate's hairstyle.
All she needs is a little toothbrush moustache and the symbolism would be complete.

And...this just in!

Critics Pan Season 5 Premiere of Jon & Kate Plus 8

...At one point in the show, Kate complained that her life was "just so hard" due to media attention and pressures on her marriage.

"Is it really, Kate?" sniped the Baltimore Sun's David Zurawik. "Tell that to a family in which the breadwinner has just lost her or his job, you silly, self-absorbed fool."


Exactly!
