Kate + 8 (Jon Optional)

[Deleted]

Yeah, he might be one of those parents who accidentally helps his kids by showing what NOT to do.

[Sunnyhorse]

Well, you know what they say: Some people's purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others.

[Wenton]

I like Kate now. It feels so wrong.

DJs at a bowling alley in NJ for 5 hours, exactly one person gets up to dance.


I don't think I can eat any more of this delicious schadenfreude. I'm full up.

He was so focused on the laptop that he couldn't even bob his head up and down to the beat. That's not how it's supposed to work. But it's okay, he's got big plans. Again. This time around he's going to move into a promotional role and get residuals from other DJs. I think this attitude has been the problem with his many jobs. He's never satisfied with being a bartender or a roofer or a waiter or a DJ. That's not good enough for him. He wants to be the guy in charge, but he's just not cut out for that. If he can't take pride in simply making a living (and he should), then he's just going to keep jumping from one dream career to the next.

Seriously?


Harrah's is only having him there as a novelty act, right?

[Gigiree]

Just caught the last few minutes of the most recent special, and I cannot believe how grown up the kiddos are. Maddie and Cara are 14, and the t'tupts are 11! Time certainly flies.

[Baby Fish Mouth]

I only caught the last few minutes too. Has Mady actually matured or was she just putting on a good show for Mother's Day?

Jon explains why he "quit" the show:

“We knew we were going to get divorced and then the network tried to keep us together for the benefit of the show,” Gosselin explains. “So I quit. I said, ‘I’m not having my divorce filmed. I’m not having it aired out for the public’s consumption. And I’m not having re-runs so my children can keep on watching the demise of their parents.’ So I just took a moral stance.”

Oh, bless. Too bad for him there's this thing called "The Internet" that has a very, very long memory.

This article is truly effed up.

Not only is she doing a People magazine shoot to discuss her son needing so much help that she's sending him away to school...the kid isn't included in the family photo!! That's so wrong. It's not like he's shut away in an institution where he can't come home at all.

Also, Kate is still Kate:

“Collin has special needs,” Kate tells PEOPLE. “[There’s] a fairly fluid diagnosis of what those needs are, but he needs to learn certain strategies to help him deal with things. This has been a struggle we’ve had for a very long time, and it’s one I’ve dealt with on my own. I’ve felt very alone in this. By the same token, it’s not something that has only impacted me or him – our entire family has been impacted.”

Half pity party*, half jab at deadbeat dad Jon.

*I would feel more sympathy for her if she hadn't created the vacuum around herself with her unpleasantness.
