Kate Gosselin ATTENDING MARIA SHRIVER'S WOMEN'S CONFERENCE?

KATE GOSSELIN ATTENDING MARIA SHRIVER'S WOMEN'S CONFERENCE?
Will "Jon & Kate Plus 8" star Kate Gosselin attend Maria Shriver's annual women's conference, alongside Cindy McCain, Elizabeth Edwards and Katie Couric?
The Associated Press reports that Shriver sent an invitation to the reality TV star five months ago at the suggestion of her teenage daughters who watch the hit TLC show.
"I think [Kate's] life has certainly changed dramatically, but so be it," Shriver told The Associated Press. "I think that's the beauty of this conference -- to have Madeleine Albright and Kate Gosselin at the same place."
California's first lady will host her annual conference in Long Beach this October, says the AP.
Gosselin was photographed on the Fourth of July holiday with her estranged husband Jon Gosselin -- marking the first time they were spotted together since their headline-grabbing split.

Kate Gosselin is a CHILD EXPLOITER and LIAR!!! Why the hell would she be invited to be in the company of women like Elizageth Edward and Madeleine Albright. What has Kate done besides lie her way into have 6 kids at one time? I call BULLSHIT...

Jon and Kate File for Divorce!!!

Breaking News Jon and Kate headed for divorce!!


Gosselin Divorce Papers Filed
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20286254,00.html

After months of speculation, the 10-year marriage of Jon & Kate Plus Eight's stars Kate and Jon Gosselin appears to be coming to an end, a source close to the situation tells PEOPLE.

Documents to initiate a legal split were filed at the Bucks County Courthouse in Doylestown, Penn., Monday afternoon.

Fans who have watched the couple's popular TLC show – or read the voluminous coverage of the Gosselin marriage in the press – will hardly be surprised: The duo had long maintained a tense relationship, with Jon recently telling PEOPLE he wanted a less high-profile life, while Kate appeared to remain committed to their TV career.

In February, photos surfaced of Jon in the company of young women during a solo visit to see his mother, who was recuperating from surgery, in Huntingdon, Pa. The couple quickly attempted to quash rumors of problems. But in May, the scandal erupted again when 23-year-old Deanna Hummel was photographed driving Jon's car home from a bar late at night.

When the fifth season of the Gosselins' show premiered May 25, the couple admitted to having problems and not knowing where their relationship was headed. "Parents of multiples have triple the divorce rate," Kate said through tears. "I was thinking we were going to beat that. I don't know if I can say that anymore."

TLC promotions of the show are promising a major announcement about the family in Monday night's episode of Jon & Kate Plus Eight.

A Concerned Canadian

The following was submitted as a comment but I thought it was worth turning it into an entry.
Thank you to the poster.

After visiting several sites that are dealing with concerns for the Gosselin kids, I thought I'd leave this comment here...the only blog I've so far commented to.

If the moderators feel it inappropriate I understand if they don't post it and I will not pursue the issue, I trust their judgment on the matter.

In all honesty, I'm not sure why I care so much about what happens to these kids.

It's not like I've ever met them, it's not like I've ever donated to their family and thereby feel duped by their parents.

I think it may be because I feel accomplice to what I now see as their exploitation. Part of me wants to redeem myself.

I started watching J&K +8 only a few months ago. TLC shows repeats during the day and it was the earlier episodes.

Like most, I was drawn in by the adorableness of the kids, the banter of J&K and the feeling that "Phew, I only have two."

That's the crux isn't it...if it weren't for the willing audience, there would be no show and we wouldn't be discussing this at 20 comments per hour.

Anyway, it wasn't long before I started noticing that I felt uncomfortable and disconcerted. I began questioning why I was watching it at all.

If I have a plain point it is this, there is just so much evidence that suggests these kids are going to have issues with self-identity.

Parents of identical multiples are advised to dress their children differently to encourage a healthy sense of self-definition.

What we have here is two sets of fraternal multiples being dressed alike, treated alike, doing almost everything together as a pair or a group for their entire lives.

That by itself should raise eyebrows as to whether or not the parents actually see their children as individual people or as THEIR "twins" and "the little kids".

Throw in cameras (not to mention the men running them) documenting every embarrassing (and what 'normal' people would consider private) moment and you're just asking for trouble.

I will stop short of saying I feel sorry for Kate and Jon Gosselin because despite their assertions they did not ask for this...we all know that when they signed that contract, they most certainly did.

I will instead reserve my pity for their children who clearly had no, and have not since had any, say in the matter.

Being an optimist, I do believe Jon and Kate have an opportunity to redeem themselves both in the public eye and in their children's eyes.

All they have to do is decide that the show and the money are not worth the price of their kids' self-esteem.

In all sincerity, I am praying that a revelation hits them, for the sake of those kids, before a court order does.

From One Octomom to Another Octomom -STOP Judging ME!

Octuplets mom to Kate Gosselin: stop judging me
Tuesday, June 2, 2009
(06-02) 11:24 PDT La Habra, Calif. (AP) --

Nadya Suleman says multi-mom and reality TV star Kate Gosselin should stop judging the "octomom" and deal with her own faltering marriage.
"It's done. I've moved past my 'mistake,'" Suleman — framing the word "mistake" with finger quotemarks — said in a video posted Tuesday on the Web site www.radaronline.com.

"She has her own obvious issues, internal issues, and she needs to stop partially making judgments towards me. She doesn't even know me," Suleman said of Gosselin.

"That's human nature. Tends to happen to people who are less educated," Suleman added. "I surround myself internally and externally with positive energy. She does the opposite."

"Kate's certainly not going to react to that," Laurie Goldberg, a spokeswoman for TLC, the cable TV network that runs Gosselin's show "Jon & Kate Plus 8," said Tuesday. "The octomom can say whatever she wants."

Suleman commented after being shown an interview that Gosselin gave on the "Dr. Phil" show in February. During the interview, Gosselin said she had great difficulties during the first year caring for her sextuplets and her two other children, despite strong support from her husband.

Gosselin had questioned the ability of Suleman, who is unmarried, to deal with her total of 14 children, including eight she had in January. During the interview, it is mentioned that Gosselin had about 50 helpers a week at one point, causing Suleman to scoff.

"I have, like, 10 helpers per week. Why am I not overwhelmed? Why is it not a chaotic mess?" Suleman asked.

"My children are extremely healthy, strong and happy. Don't you have, like, a lot of issues in your life? A lot of marital problems?" she asked of Gosselin. "Why are you so desperate to glom on to my life? For attention?"

Gosselin and her husband have attracted millions of viewers with their cable show, now in its fifth season. The series follows the couple as they raise their children, including 5-year-old sextuplets and 8-year-old twins. Its audience soared following media reports that the couple had cheated on each other. The Gosselins denied it but conceded their marriage is in trouble.

Former Nurse Actually Stands Up for Kate?

With all due respect to Angela Krall, when was the last time she was in the Gosselin household? I seriously doubt she has been admitted past "the gates" of exploitation.

'SWEATSHOP' + 8
JON & KATE SLAPPED BY CHILD-LABOR PROBE
By REBECCA ROSENBERG and TODD VENEZIA
Pennsylvania authorities have opened up a probe into whether reality-show parents Jon and Kate Gosselin are running a televised sweatshop out of their home.
The state Labor Department received a complaint the TV couple -- whose brood of eight children is featured in the red-hot "Jon & Kate Plus 8" on TLC -- are engaging in illegal child labor, according to spokesman Justin Fleming.

"Any complaint we get, we investigate," Fleming said, although the exact nature of the complaint was not clear.

A former nanny who worked with the couple defended them yesterday to The Post.

Angela Krall said that, although the kids are probably on camera too much, the Gosselin home is not a place of child labor.

"It's absolutely ridiculous," Krall, 31, told The Post. "It's like someone is trying to get to them. There are a lot of bad insults flying about them."

TLC insisted it complied with all relevant laws.

The couple -- parents of an 8-year-old set of twins and a 5-year-old set of sextuplets -- were catapulted into headlines after allegations that they were cheating on each other.

Meanwhile, The Post has learned that the Gosselins are having a new kitchen installed inside their already posh $1.1 million mansion, which sits behind a gate on 24 acres, while they stay out of town.

Their huge and well-appointed old kitchen was one of the main backdrops for the season-premiere episode of their show, which drew a blockbuster audience of 10 million on Monday.

The couple moved from a modest home in October to the fancy new digs. They have been criticized for taking a huge amount of swag -- from free trips to plastic surgery.

Monday's episode featured several awkward moments as Jon and Kate talked about the troubles in their marriage -- but denied adultery.

Krall, who says she likes Kate, said the TV mom "comes across as not such a nice person.

"I'd say she's a difficult person to get on with. She doesn't ask people to do stuff, but commands them."

Investigation

Finally they have decided to investigate Jon and Kate. It's about time someone cares about the kids.
