Jessica Remo, the author of Philly Mag article that I posted in the post prior to this one has had to follow up her article with a Q and A due to the offensive comments she received on her blog.
Why do the fans have to be so nasty? Are they imitating their idol, Kate Gosselin? After all, Kate Gosslein has to be one of the rudest women on television. Who is she nice to? Her husband, no....her family, no.....her fans, no......her friends....oh oops doesn't have any. She must be nice to her body guards!!!
The fans just emulate her behavior when leaving comments on the various blogs that have anything negative to say about her.
I may or may not publish the inevitable nasty comments that will come after this posting. And, I can almost tell you verbatim what they will say.
You are jealous, you try it with 8 kids, you would do it, too, they do the best they can, blah, blah, blah........
Try and think of something new, please.....

What were they thinking?
'Jon & Kate Plus 8' Gosselins bring home two new German Shepherd puppies
File this under: What the heck were they thinking?
The Gosselins, who star in the TLC reality series, "Jon & Kate Plus 8," already have their hands full with their eight small children: twin eight year-old daughters and their six four-year old brothers and sisters.
So why in the world would they decide to get two puppies to add to their chaotic household?
That is not fully explained in the half hour episode that aired earlier this evening on TLC at 9 p.m. EST.
"Our kids wanted a pet. They've always wanted a pet. They begged for a puppy. We moved here, we have the land. I thought it made sense," explains Kate. "Somewhere along the line, one puppy became two puppies, which I'm not quite sure how that happened."
"That means double the poop. Oops, we forgot about that," adds Jon.
When Kate announces to her brood that, "For Christmas...we're getting not one, but two, puppies," the kids start screaming deliriously.
Kate has enormous reservations about getting the puppies--"all the mess, all the poop, all the pee, the added expense, the hair, the slime"--and has never had a dog and doesn't know how to take care of one.
Her husband Jon says, "I didn't know anything about dogs."
"We were so stinking scared of bringing them home," Kate says. "We were more scared to get dogs than we were to have kids."
Which again begs the question, why did they decide to add two highly needy, untrained, un-housebroken puppies to the mix?
In any event, cameras follow the Gosselins to a breeder's facility. (The breeder's name is Jeff. He met Kate at a function where the Gosselins spoke and he began telling Kate what a great family dog the German Shepherd was, and the intelligence of the breed.)
The family picks out a male and female puppy. Kate names the puppies: Shooka for the boy, and Nala for the girl. The Gosselins are ill-prepared to take the puppies home with them that day, but they do. On the long drive home, they stop at a pet store to load up on supplies.
Once at home, Shooka and Nala do what puppies do: they pee on the carpet. At this point, Kate has what can only be described as a freak out session. "No, no, no, no! " she screams, running after the puppies and scrambling to clean up the mess with paper towels.
It's baffling why Kate, famous for her list-making and organizational skills, agreed to get the puppies in the first place.
"I did eight potty trainings," she says. "I don't want to do potty training with fur."
To see pictures of the puppies, go to the TLC website.

Shame on You Lane Furniture!
"There's no where to sit in this house" screams Jon and Kate Gosselin. Well, we knew it was coming, it was just a matter of time and of who was going to contribute to the exploitation.
Hundreds of employees have been laid off from Lane but they decide to donate thousands and thousands of dollars worth of furniture to America's most UN-DESERVING couple. What are they thinking? Lane Furniture couldn't find more deserving families?
The Gosselin family moves into a 1.3 million dollar house without the luxury of using the equity of their old house and have traveled more in one year than more families travel in 10 years. They have had 5 star vacations to Maui, North Carolina, Utah, San Diego, DisneyWorld and many local parks and attractions. What makes this family so special and so deserving?
What is the difference between Kate Gosselin exploitation and Nadya Suleman holding out for the highest bidder. Why is Kate Gosselin glorified for doing exactly the same thing that Nadya Suleman.
Critics have commented on whether or not Suleman has had cosmetic surgery, why not criticize Kate Gosselin for her plastic surgery? Kate Gosselin has had a tummy tuck and lipo-suction on television pro-bono in exchange for advertisement for the surgeon. Kate Gosselin has obviously recently undergone botox injections and either utilizes a tanning booth or a spray tan. Again, what is the difference?
Jon hasn't been left out of the freebies for self improvement. He has undergone a hair transplant on television while leaving his 8 children home sick with his in-laws. He has also had lasix surgery and teeth whitening.
So, the next time the media criticizes Nadya Suleman, they should take a long hard look at Kate and Jon Gosselin who appear to be the role models for this new mother of 16.

Playing House
Did any of you play "house" when you were kids? Can you imagine the tups playing "house" at pre-school? Imagine how the other little boys are treated by the girls. One of these days, one of the boys will not put up with their behavior and there will be trouble. Oh and you watch, Kate will blame it on the other child. Their behavior is learned from their role model, their mother. If Kate is telling the truth when she tells us that one of the only shows the kids watch is their own, they watch as their mother berates and belittles their father during each and every episode, needless to say they are witness to this when the cameras are off. Not only that, Kate shows no respect to her viewers during her couch interviews and acts like she was raised in a barn. How quickly she has forgotten who butters her bread! It's no wonder her daughters display signs of bad behavior, look at their mother! How can Kate tell her children to sit up straight, mind their manners and show respect when their role model is slouching on the couch in her smelly stocking feet acting like a queen and slamming their father every chance she gets. Kate will ultimately be the downfall of the empire she has build around the exploitation of her children.
And what about the poor boys playing house in preschool? They probably wonder why the other girls are being nice to them and not yelling. I mean what else do they know? They only know that women are mean to men and that their father is yelled at by their mother constantly. They are learning to be little whipping boys just like their father. What other male role models do they have? The camera men? You know the ones that were bossed by Kate to vacuum up the living room while they switched the blinds. They have no grandfathers in their lives, nope....the only thing they know is that men are treated like second class citizens in the Gosselin household and they figure that is the way life is. So, when a little girl at school is nice to them, they are confused.
When the girls were misbehaving during last week morning interviews, they were emulating their mother's behavior. Pick on the boys and behave rudely. Isn't this what their mother has taught them? Kate has taught the girls to behave like bossy little brats and the boys are well behaved mini-Jons exactly what they see when they watch the dvds of their own show. And this is exactly what we saw during the interviews. Why is anyone surprised?

In Two Short Years
Have you noticed the change in Kate's appearance in the space of two short years? Two years ago, we watched a woman who wore baggy yoga pants, t shirts, had a sensible short brown hair cut, wore no makeup and was a little chubby. I thought she looked fantastic for a woman who had 8 kids in 4 years. I admired her organization, her relationship with her husband and what amazed me the most was the fact that she showed the world her "jowls of a dog" tummy! I was captured by this charming young woman who clipped coupons and shopped at Sam's club. What I did take notice of was some of the items that she placed on the cart while shopping but didn't think twice of it at the time. For example, I didn't understand why they would need all those clorox wipes which are expensive and to me a luxury item but whatever. I also noticed they bought individual packs of oatmeal rather than the big bulk containers which are actually healthier and less expensive, again...whatever. I have also read that Jon placed the video game "Tour of Duty" in the cart which I don't remember but I have read it more than once. Still, I thought whatever. What I couldn't believe was the final total. Wasn't it in the thousands? I thought, "wow, how do they afford that in one month?" The total amount could very well be Jon's total months salary or close to it. Still, I thought whatever.
Back at home, my heart melted for Alexis as her mother bathed her after her accident in the crib. Or, when Kate comes home and one of the tups keeps saying "hi mommy, hi mommy, hi mommy". Oh! So cute!!!
What do we see now? A woman that has had a tummy tuck, lipo-suction, teeth-whitening, a spray on tan, maybe a little botox, a beautiful new wardrobe, someone who admittedly has time to work on a treadmill for 90 minutes a day, uses money sent to her to take herself to the spa and wears more makeup than Alexis Arquette. All this with a brand new self-entitled bitchy attitude! We see Kate slouched down on the interview couch with her smelly stocking feet in our face with total disregard or respect for the viewers. Show some class woman, sit up straight and sit like a lady and at least act like you're enjoying yourself...we after all paid for that couch you're slouching on.
Her hair is still brown but it is striped with different shades of brown, yellow, red tints and is styled......well.....I will leave the style out of it....to each his own!
They now live in a home that was purchased for 1.2million dollars without having to use the equity in their old house. Incredible, especially in this economy!
So, the question is....who paid for the tummy tuck, the lipo-suction, etc? Who paid for the hair plugs on Jon's head?
The payment came in the form of Hannah, Joel, Alexis, Collin, Aiden, Leah, Mady and Cara. I only name Mady and Cara because they are dragged into this but they alone could never carry this show. The kids paid for it!
There are many that are beginning to see Kate for who she really is but many have seen that a very long time ago. I never could understand the fascination with Kate, I agree the kids are cute but I had to look past the cuteness and think about what exactly goes on.
There is something referred to as the fourth wall in reality tv, it is something they don't want the viewers to think about. It is the cameramen, the sound men, the producers and the rest of the crew. The producers don't want you to believe there are are others in the room but what you see on tv. There was an "outakes" show once where Jon, Kate, Cara and Mady went to California (its where Kate steals pinecones from our beautiful National park, thanks Kate!) and Kate yells at Jon for directing a comment or question to Jen, the producer. Kate reprimands Jon for talking to Jen because it supposed to appear that they are not present and neither are the cameras. The kids think this is a natural part of everyday life since the boys imitate the sound men and Alexis asked someone on the fourth wall recently "what are you looking at?" Not to mention the professional lighting that was installed in their old house. Sounds like a television set to me. The bottom line is that there would be no show, no book deal, no speaking engagements if there were no sextuplets. If Kate set out to have sextuplets or not is irrelevant at this point as far as I am concerned, what is relevant is that she has used those kids to make a buck and big bucks at that. Who is suffering because of it? The kids are.
Beginning with the twins, their mother has said they are teased at school, Mady's behavior is a scream for help, Cara's silence is deafening. The sextuplets are still young and what is "normal" to them is to be in front of a camera more than 50% of their week. The other half of the week is spent with only one parent and a nanny while one of the parents travels around the country telling their tired old story of how broke they "were" to mega churches without any mention of how they are financially set now. These speaking engagements where they reportedly charge $25,000 are held at least 8 times a month. Lots of moola wouldn't you agree? Is this not exploitation? Would you give strangers photographs of your children, much less "sell" them? Jon and Kate are basically selling their story for the almighty dollar, what is the difference between her and the mother of the octuplets? Nothing!
Not only do they sell their story week after week, they sell photographs of their children for $20, cash only please! They have also been known to ask for donations towards their children's college funds and their own retirement! Retirement from what? The kids are the ones that need to retire! Let me ask you, would you give photographs of your children to complete strangers? Would you sell them to complete strangers?
The bottom line is no one would be interested in their story had they only had twins. It is the sextuplets that are in Jon's words "marketable". What parent refers to his children as "marketable". I didn't make this up folks, it is out of the mouth of their own father. Search Jon's interview in Utah and you can hear him say it yourself.
I don't understand how the fans can think this is an appropriate way to raise your children, in front of cameramen, producers, sound men, and the other multitudes of people it takes to tape an episode. They are dragged from one location to another. Sometimes they have to go twice if the weather did not cooperate.
I hope the birth of the octuplets and her alleged demands for money to tell her story will bring the Gosselin situation to the forefront and make people think twice about what they are doing to their children.
Kate is her own worst enemy. There would never have been so many negative blogs about the show had she been just a tiny bit more gracious and appreciative. If she could treat her husband like a human being instead of a whipping boy. She is not a nice person, people! Kate, herself will ultimately be the cause of the demise of the show. Not one agency has stepped in to help these children who know no other life than in front of the cameras. There are loopholes in the laws that govern how many hours a minor can work on a television set since Jon and Kate Plus 8 is a reality tv show. Since reality tv is a relatively new genre, new laws need to be set in place to help protect the children. Coogans law helps to protect the earnings of the children from their parents. Who receives the money from Jon and Kate Plus 8? I would guess it would be Jon and Kate as evidenced by their new lavish lifestyle and the physical changes in Kate. It takes money to look that good Kate and she does look better than ever if you like fake tans and lots of makeup. She is an attractive woman on the outside (the best money can buy) but a very ugly person on the inside. Her sense of style has improved so I am guessing she must have hired a stylist since she has admitted to saying she has no sense of style. If you remember the episode "Kate's Wardrobe Makeover", Jon has to tag along to help her choose clothes because Kate admits she doesn't know how to dress. My, how times have changed!!!
By the way, nice earrings she wore on the Larry King show, thanks kids!!!
I find it ironic that her appearance was aired at the same time as her reality show which showed Kate acting like she does, treating her husband like crap and being the demanding diva she has turned into. I wonder if God told her to act that way to her husband, after all she is a devout Christian woman, so she says! Don't you just love the way she treats her husband? It also happened to be the episode where they move into their mansion, all this while Larry King is discussing how the mother of the octuplets is trying to "sell" her story. Larry, all you had to do was switch over to TLC and you could have witnessed the result of selling your children to the highest bidder. The PR representative for the mother of the octuplets has stated that the mother only wanted one more child and ended up with 8, sounds oddly familiar to me.
I expect a boat load of comments from fans that will say I need to get a life, I am jealous, Jon and Kate are doing the best they can. They will also give the argument, "they have given their children opportunities they would not otherwise had". How many 4 year olds go to Maui to a 5 star resort with a stopover in San Diego so they could get used to the time change? I would bet maybe less than 5 percent of our population. The opportunity they are not afforded is the luxury of growing up in privacy with the loving care of both parents. Wouldn't that be a nice change for these kids?
Back at home, my heart melted for Alexis as her mother bathed her after her accident in the crib. Or, when Kate comes home and one of the tups keeps saying "hi mommy, hi mommy, hi mommy". Oh! So cute!!!

I wonder if God told her to act that way to her husband, after all she is a devout Christian woman, so she says! Don't you just love the way she treats her husband? It also happened to be the episode where they move into their mansion, all this while Larry King is discussing how the mother of the octuplets is trying to "sell" her story. Larry, all you had to do was switch over to TLC and you could have witnessed the result of selling your children to the highest bidder. The PR representative for the mother of the octuplets has stated that the mother only wanted one more child and ended up with 8, sounds oddly familiar to me.
I expect a boat load of comments from fans that will say I need to get a life, I am jealous, Jon and Kate are doing the best they can. They will also give the argument, "they have given their children opportunities they would not otherwise had". How many 4 year olds go to Maui to a 5 star resort with a stopover in San Diego so they could get used to the time change? I would bet maybe less than 5 percent of our population. The opportunity they are not afforded is the luxury of growing up in privacy with the loving care of both parents. Wouldn't that be a nice change for these kids?

SuperKON Attempts to Give Advice to New Mom of HOMs
The following interview must have been taped prior to the CBS Early show and Access Hollywood interview judging by that smirk on Kate's face and the behavior of the children. Kate sure wasn't smiling after the other interviews!!!
