Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Please don't think for one minute that I have been avoiding posting on this blog, with all the media and hoopla that has been going on. This has been the busiest week I have had in a long time, and just wasn't able to get to this blog. I wasn't going to be like some <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Looney</span> Moon site posting EVERY single article that is out there. Most are negative and many full of untruths and things I question. That is why this is the last post that I will be doing on this blog. For those that follow here I hope that you will join me on the <a href="http://gosselinfamilyfansite.blogspot.com/">NEW Jon & Kate <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Gosselin</span> Fan Site</a>. I'm <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">soo</span> excited to be starting this new site with no references to any of the negative blogs that are out there. I hope that those that are interested in a healthy debate come post there as well. There is still a real need for a completely positive fan site, and I'm more committed than ever to continue to have that for you. I've become quite the hit on the troll sites and that only gives me more of a desire to move forward. Hope you will come join me!<br /><br />Again, this is the last post for this blog. Comments still can be made here until Monday. Thanks again & see you over on the other site for My new post Sunday night!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Kate <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Gosselin</span> Tells People.com "Tabloids Are Turning My Life Into Hell"</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">"I'm far from perfect, but I've started to prioritize what is important, what has to change, what I can live with, and what I have to live with.

Well if your not sick to death of the million repetitive articles on Jon & Kate & their supposed affairs you maybe soon. With Kevin & Jodi now claiming Kate was giving Jon a "contract to cheat" I was laughing so hard I almost fell to the floor. Its got so insane at this point, nothing is believed anymore. And what's with everyone's brothers coming out now trying to get as much cash as they can out of this mess? I myself need to give my brother the side eye at this point. (lol) With the season premiere looming and looking to be the highest ratings EVER for TLC & hopefully cable, will people tune in for the entire season? Or will this be a one shot deal?<br /><br />I am just about ready to start the <a href="http://gosselinfamilyfansite.blogspot.com/">NEW JON & KATE FAN SITE</a>. I feel that its a great time to unload the past and start off fresh. Again, I hope my followers of this blog will come to the new site. My husband surprised me for Mother's Day with a family vacation to CA the first week of June. (The kids LOVED the Lego Land Episode which sparked my CA interest). So there may be a slight pause if I don't take my computer, but other than that its full steam ahead with the new blog! I'm looking to close this site this weekend, including the comments. I am so super excited and I hope you will feel free to come and comment now on the new site!<br /><br />And finally, a few of you had mentioned seeing previews for the new Jon & Kate episode during a commercial for <a href="http://www.nightatthemuseummovie.com/">Night At the Museum: Battle Of The Smithsonian</a>. I think it was shown because that episode is also at The Smithsonian and will be shown this season. If you think its on before the season starts, let me know.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Jon & Kate THE MOVIE?</span><br /><br />Well rumors are flying everywhere about this new topic: <a href="http://www.suntimes.com/entertainment/zwecker/1578633,CST-FTR-zp18.article">Jon & Kate the movie</a>.<br /><p>"The Gosselins supposedly are going to work with a ghostwriter to pen a book about their very public leap into the nation's consciousness -- a book that will then be turned into a TV movie.</p> <p>Think about it: A small-screen flick, inspired by a small-screen reality show.</p> <p>No word on who would be considered to play Jon and Kate, ''but it's likely it will be two unknown actors, picked for physical similarities to the Gosselins," said a source at TLC, the cable channel that airs the couple's hit show ''Jon & Kate Plus Eight.'</p><p><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Jon & Kate Get Back To "Business" And Everyday Life</span> <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20279827,00.html">via.

The children were well-behaved, employees told PEOPLE, and bodyguard Steve Neild accompanied them.<br /><br />Jon and Kate put on a united front at the birthday party Sunday – one week later than their actual birthday, which the family had celebrated privately at home.

Please do not think that I have been laying low during this whole Gosselin mess. Next Weekend is my daughters Communion and with parties work and school I'm a bit overwhelmed. I have not wanted to read one more rumor, paid family member, or media attack on this family. When I read the recent story about <a href="http://www.kansascity.com/stargazing/story/1201183.html">Brooke Shields and her mother</a>, I almost lost it. The National Enquirer actually <a href="http://justjared.buzznet.com/2009/05/16/brooke-shields-national-enquirer/">removed her from a nursing home</a> trying to get a tabloid story out of her. The whole thing is sick and sad. That these magazines have gotten so desperate that they would pull a stunt like that is insane. Which leads me to the Gosselins..They can't even go to Party City without being swarmed by the paparazzi. How long before a hotter story hits that they will be left alone?<br />

<br />
Is it a slow news day, that there are a record breaking 344 articles on the web discussing <a href="http://www.beauty-and-the-bath.com/kate-gosselin-hair-cut-and-bob-hairstyle.html">Kate's hair?</a> Some love it, others hate it. Kate <a href="http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b123890_kate_gosselin_haircut_not_going_work.html">HERSELF</a> says not everyone can carry it. There hasn't been this much Discussion over a haircut since Jennier Aniston. And I loved that cut! For the record, "The Kate" is currently the <a href="http://buzz.yahoo.com/buzzlog/92574">#1 most talked about hairstyle</a>.<br />

If I sat here (like other <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">LOONEY</span></span> sites) and addressed every single tabloid I would be here for days, or very exhausted. I know when its a slow news weeks and a story like this breaks. When I saw what US Weekly was coming out with I was SUPER pissed. Reading hate blogs and getting your info based on rumors and lies is NOT how you run a magazine. So now I can completely understand why Kate did the People.com interview. The Star and The <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Enquirer</span> are to me pure trash. When your title story is "Mommy & Daddy Please Don't Fight!" you know what your getting in <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">terms</span> of the article. I'm not linking them here, but you know the articles are now everywhere.<br /><br />I'm sorry to all the fans that have sent photos and stores about their meeting with Kate at her various stops on her book tour. I did promise that I would post them, but with all that's happened I haven't had the time. I am going to address and talk about the latest appearance. It was important because this was after the scandal broke and Kate appeared to be at her most vulnerable. Today on GMA, it was most of the same sadly. Jon & Kate were not on, and they showed the clip again of Jodi & Kevin. Watching it make me shudder. He sounded fake, insincere and like he was just waiting for a check to be cut. It makes me angry and now I dislike them even more. It showed they were only there to cash in on his sister. GMA handled it very professionally, and that they really felt sorry for them right now, with the hopes for the new season..If I get the link today I will add it on this post.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Us Weekly Shows Its Fangs And Turns Into A Rag Mag</span><br /><br />OK, this is just my opinion. But I am devastated and heartbroken that they came out and wrote vicious lies and twisted so many rumors just in the last two weeks. I always enjoyed reading Us Weekly, but I'm truly saddened and surprised that they put such a ridiculous spin on Kate and her bodyguard. In no way do I think that she had an affair with him. To put all the garbage they did in there just to sell their magazine, I don't know how low they can go. But I'm figuring next week they will say that the dogs are actually robots and Jon has gotten 2 girls pregnant. Who knows.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Kate Wows Frauenthal Crowd And Addresses Rumors</span><br /><br />The reality TV star drew hundreds to downtown Muskegon for her talk.

I would like to start off by saying that the infamous "Mr. Gray" everyone is talking about was currently just helping for Zondervan for Kate's book tour. He is NOT Kate's personal bodyguard. Phew! OK, so with all the news stories about the Gosselins now, its been increasingly more hard for Kate (even out buying a birthday cake yesterday for Mother's Day) to go out anywhere without TMZ or some money-hungry photog. following her. I applaud her sense of strength in the face of adversity. The more nasty people get, the more she is hounded, the cooler & calmer she appears. I try to think of things in a "what would you do" kind of way. I find myself (and again this is just me) feeling more and more sad for her each day. I only hope that this show, this season, we will see "public therapy & healing". Those fans that felt the show lost some of its luster, are now anxious and excited for the new season. And that's great to hear! And while I still greatly disagree with those that felt it was because of all the trips and freebies, I hope that this season will be again, more about healing and strength. With a cool trip here and there thrown in of course! (And if any of you find a link to the appearance <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj0oPrqmgJy8eQUQH0vRK-a7vG54FM-b50btnksO8JgK_9MFJ4ksimH3L4bTrXCcWOCBaFyP4G7bg03BwL6OxNj93Tp5jHPJ_ghel0iTg_BFTnNoTNJmCAKFJiR7GVw6l99uEbkWjeXsm0/s1600-h/kateinskirt.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 203px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj0oPrqmgJy8eQUQH0vRK-a7vG54FM-b50btnksO8JgK_9MFJ4ksimH3L4bTrXCcWOCBaFyP4G7bg03BwL6OxNj93Tp5jHPJ_ghel0iTg_BFTnNoTNJmCAKFJiR7GVw6l99uEbkWjeXsm0/s320/kateinskirt.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334748138938905730" border="0" /></a>Kate made on the 700 Club today, please send it to me!)

I truly hope that you follow me as I say goodbye to this chapter of my blogging that has brought me so much joy and come over to my family-friendly new Gosselin fan page. After these past 10 months I feel that there is a need for a completely non-negative & fully supportive fan site for those that truly do not want to see some of the hatred that's out there. Now that doesn't mean that I wont stress for more healthy debates to continue and will always be encouraged. However, it has become clear to me that if you feel that you have anything negative to say, there are a few other places to go that thrive on the snark. I want those with who truly have meaningful things, thoughts and feelings to say to please come and comment on my site.

Believing in the benefits of <a href="http://www.lilsugar.com/tag/Interview+with+Kate+Gosselin">good nutrition</a>, Kate went to lengths to feed her family quality goods on a budget.<br />4. Her organizational skills put most mamma's (including me) to shame<br />5. The Gosselin children are well-behaved and mannered to Kate's credit<br />6. She loves her kids, and it shows. Kate is raising eight happy, healthy lil' individuals<br />7. Despite the tabloids and marital rumors, Kate did not cancel scheduled appearances. Instead, she held her head high, <a href="http://www.lilsugar.com/3125482">made no apologies</a>, and simply said she and Jon were <a href="http://www.lilsugar.com/3122816">handling things privately</a>.<br /><br />For some great photos and a slide show check out the link above!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Kate Now Designing For Walmart</span>?<br /><br />Did anyone see Rachel Ray today?

I know that I am slow getting things up before anyone else. And I'm disappointed to say that had to go back to moderating my blog. Its hard when your only on the computer twice a day. But after reading the upsetting comments from fans unhappy with all the nastiness on the site, I now had to go back to it. My goal is to keep this place civil and respectful. The trolls can take their pick of the vulgarity elsewhere. I can't be all things to everyone, but I love those that come here to bring positive energy and be supportive. I know that lately there has been a focus shift from the family to the fan sites. And since I'm the best (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">lol</span>), I'm the one they attack. But when your voice of the fans you need to continue to stay focused and supportive. And while I personally would have had Jon's man parts made into earrings to go with my hot new bracelet by now, this is my goal: To make sure everyone knows that I will continue to make the best fan site out there. To support this family and their new season, and to pray for healing and continued solidarity. Because the best revenge is <span style="font-weight: bold;">to stay strong, live well and prosper</span> (and continue for 10 more seasons (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">lol</span>).....<br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><br />UPDATE:</span> To the trolls.. please do not get your panties in a bunch that what I said about Jon was serious. Please feel free to go elsewhere because I no longer allow you on this site...Also, from now I will be stating when I comment on an article so that you know it was me. I made my first comment in MONTHS for support on the Larry King Website.

It's been hard dealing with people that use your name, include a link to your page, and then write hurtful things. The jealousy at this point is insane....

Happy <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Cinco</span> De Mayo! I'm being told that this post is being <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">anticipated</span> and talked about on certain other blogs and I find that amusing. What was not fun was waking up this morning seeing pouring cold rain & knowing this would not be a good day..for me OR Kate! Going downtown is like another world away. Its takes a lot of prep time and it's rough to get down there. But I know that Zondervan was smart having it at a Barnes & Noble in the middle of Tribecca that's all schools & day cares. The problem was the rain had other ideas.....Its not like your in a cozy mall or a store to hang out in. New York Mommies are NOT the type to wait in the rain with their kids for a signing. So instead of being elated that by the time my daughter and I got there almost an hour late it wasn't mobbed, I felt bad that because of the weather the turnout wasn't in the thousands like I had hoped.. Nevertheless the positives was that she spent extra time with everyone that came. Including us! It was <a href="http://theanti-gosselinswithoutpity.blogspot.com/2009/02/hither-tither-yon-baby-mama-finally.html">MY SECOND</a> time and I was just as excited!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdDByJcQMh-cgFST2CHhPyIDbacT6Go9oCP0KNiPBgcfQq5IIS-nG8RaoYIQTf-k7wzIXsObqYdIE-3Te16qhnoZiR-vmbqrjvQQdKyBFuVwkK6xhTVJWHGliSn3qqGwekJ5VVjRA5HP6K/s1600-h/IMG_0038.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdDByJcQMh-cgFST2CHhPyIDbacT6Go9oCP0KNiPBgcfQq5IIS-nG8RaoYIQTf-k7wzIXsObqYdIE-3Te16qhnoZiR-vmbqrjvQQdKyBFuVwkK6xhTVJWHGliSn3qqGwekJ5VVjRA5HP6K/s320/IMG_0038.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332521009559845730" border="0" /></a><br />My daughter has been waiting for weeks to play hookie and have the day off to be alone in the city with Mommy. Of course while on line she saw Kate she got very nervous. I was having a hard time coaxing her over to the table and lucky for me Kate took charge.. "You know Mady & Cara have the same shirt as you?" Why don't you come here and tell me your name?" Meanwhile I am having a heart attack because my camera (of all times in the world) decides to die on me. I apologized to Kate for keeping her frozen (for a pic) while I tried to snap a photo..she said "Are you kidding, you do NOT have that horrible camera I once had do you? Let me see" and proceeded to try to look at my camera. That's just Kate. She was again very cool, and even hugged my daughter before taking what I believe was a bathroom break. My daughter almost passed out and said "That was so awesome mommy!", when Maddy comes to sign books can I come again?" From the mouth of babes....<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0Tsk344pyQgOLsKcPozMqBMFpG37nWqL9h9iEvtM56FXR5XgDr3UJrXSXHUjWubYNFt5XDFpODLV9BH5io2kYdS9VXnLSzliq1GlpY8buqqlIE9i2ZZ3gOTP-D0NzJqmaGNfjuYXhBdQL/s1600-h/IMG_0037.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0Tsk344pyQgOLsKcPozMqBMFpG37nWqL9h9iEvtM56FXR5XgDr3UJrXSXHUjWubYNFt5XDFpODLV9BH5io2kYdS9VXnLSzliq1GlpY8buqqlIE9i2ZZ3gOTP-D0NzJqmaGNfjuYXhBdQL/s320/IMG_0037.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332521198907098594" border="0" /></a><br />Few nice notes..While struggling with my camera I asked if she went home or was staying to enjoy the city..She said she was anxious to get home in time for dinner. (I guess its close enough for her just to go home). I asked her if she was upset about the rain turning the mommies away. She said that although she was disappointed, it was more relaxed and she was able to talk to people more which is what she likes to do. I quickly told her about how excited I was to start a new chapter with my website and did NOT believe me that I was stopping the old one as I am approaching soon my 1 millionth hit in just a few short months.

Please note, whenever I am anywhere I WANT people <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">to</span> know its me. I put my name there for a reason. I don't hide behind an <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Annon</span>. or something stupid. Its funny because they WISH I would waste my time on sites like that!<br /><br />Well my girl T. (you know who you are ;) and a few others hooked me up with the ACTUAL photos. And yes I have them BEFORE ANYONE ELSE. And yes I am still going to meet Kate again on Tuesday, so <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">I'm</span> excited I was able <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">to</span> take off work, as my eldest daughter really wants to go too.

I have to apologize to the fans of the show and this blog... After the barrage of negative comments by the FANS wanting to not have this site turned into another nasty debate site, I wanted to get back to the main premise of this blog. As fans of the show our hearts break to hear any negative strife between both Jon & Kate. But the question is how do we know if any of this is true based on photos and lies in the media that start directly from blogs fueling the fire?? Nothing would be more heartbreaking than to think the haters could manipulate the media and try to destroy this family. My goal here, is just to continue to pray and support the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Gosselins</span></span> and show solidarity and support.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">UPDATE:</span> If anyone goes to the PA Woman's Show please e-mail me!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">People Magazine: Jon did NOT Flirt With College Girls In Feb.</span><br /><br />In February, Jon was spotted hanging out with a couple of female college students from <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Juanita</span> College, located near his hometown in Pennsylvania.<!-- jump --> <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20275605,00.html">People Magazine</a>, tells the REAL story:<br /><br />But a couple of girls who met Jon that night said he didn't flirt with anyone.

The emails that I received were overwhelming, it really seemed people were excited about seeing a new show. What wasn't exciting was the feeling that most were hoping that this show was going to be some sort of new Epiphany of sorts. New happy Kate, excitement over going green. Making you feel like running around the house shutting lights, recycling and hitting the roof to do some solar panels. One of the biggest gripes was that it didn't really get us pumped to save the world. Or at least really do some soul searching for Earth Day.<br /><br />I was kinda confused that so many expected so much from the show. There were so many negative comments centered around Kate using Styrofoam cups (I thought they were paper?) and the paper she used, it was muddling the whole point of the show. Why does this family have to be so perfect in peoples eyes! I found the show very helpful and insightful. But more had to do with Kate's "less than stellar" enthusiasm for helping the environment. But as Earth Day once again comes and goes once again on its 39<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">th</span></span> anniversary, how much of us will truly retain any of the excitement ourselves?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Jon & Kate Plus <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Sustainabilit</span></span>-eight</span><br /><br />This article from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Beliefnet</span></span>.com talked about how the episode had many helpful tips.

I'm glad that Discovery Communications decided to do this show, but I just wish that Kate had been more excited about it.

I know I have been talking about the website, but haven't had much time to work on it. After all the excitement this week I will be working hard on its debut for the new season. Again, I will let you know when I switch over and I hope that you will continue to go through the hundreds of posts here. I really loved Ken Tuckers Review of the show and have included it below.....<br /><br />I happen to really like the episode. I'm really like Kate in the fact that having a tons of people at my house doing projects is never my cup of tea. Also having someone like Steve and his made-for-TV personality trying to push me to turn green would probably give me a headache. But I loved that Kate was her usual "self". I also found it interesting that this was done on Valentines Day, when Jon was apparently all over the place.. I had actually <a href="http://theanti-gosselinswithoutpity.blogspot.com/2009/02/hither-tither-yon-baby-mama-finally.html">met Kate</a> 2 days prior and overheard her say to the couple in front of us that she was excited for Valentines Day and "all that was going on". Now back then I had no idea what that was, and I was really confused when people were claiming Jon was bar hopping around that time.. So perhaps in made sense that she was anticipating her roof jewelry the following day! Either way, looked like there was ALOT going on at the time, and she did terribly miss her kids. How cute was Alexis singing her song? :) I was soo happy to see the cards that she made the kids..But where were this years cute <a href="http://theanti-gosselinswithoutpity.blogspot.com/2009/01/pottery-barn-disapoints-gwop-fabricates.html">Pottery Barn Mailboxes?</a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><br />Jon & Kate Go Green: Warm Results~ </span> <a href="http://watching-tv.ew.com/2009/04/jon-kate-plus-8.html">Ken Tucker <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">EW</span>.COM</a><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">"Since I never identify with Kate <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Gosselin</span> more than when someone invades the family's domain to make a repair or do some renovating -- all that mess! all that ceding control to outsiders! -- last night's special </span><em style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">Jon & Kate Plus 8 Go Green!</em><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"> was highly satisfying. With the help of Steve Thomas, host of </span><em style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">Renovation Nation</em><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"> and formerly of </span><em style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">This Old House</em><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">, the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Gosselin</span> clan had some energy-efficiency added to their new house. Solar panels, stuff attached to the roof to heat their water -- I'm not going to pretend I understood much of it; I'm not a "handy" guy.</span> <p style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">But the interaction between man-of-action Steve and woman-of-caution Kate was priceless. Coaxing her up into the "lift" to see the solar panels being installed, Steve seemed disappointed that Kate was (a) not "excited about seeing a solar panel" and (b) kind of afraid of heights. Me too, on both counts. When Steve extolled the virtues of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">eco</span>-economics, Kate pointed out that his spiel was so dull, most of it would be edited out... and it was! She was right. "It's more fun to mock you, to be honest," Kate said. Honesty is her finest virtue. Her jokes are better, too. When Steve told Jon he was going to be the project's "stud finder," he actually seemed disappointed that Jon didn't snicker at that old home-improvement chestnut. </p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">For a special that could have been deadly dull, <em>Go Green!</em> was rendered fun by Kate's skepticism and the kids' reliable adorableness. Hearing little Leah singing to herself, eavesdropping as the kids called the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">cherrypicker</span> in their driveway a "blueberry truck": this is the stuff that <em>Jon & Kate</em> does best. The work Jon did alongside Steve Thomas' crew didn't look like easy stuff, either. All in all, it made me look forward to a season of new, "regular" episodes."</p>The Travel Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08652768852732313054noreply@blogger.com58tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3167527169360062878.post-49940030383409930782009-04-18T13:36:00.001-07:002009-04-19T21:14:47.295-07:00Kate VS.

We all know it takes <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">ALOT</span></span> to get things ready when the whole family is in town! But I have received so many e-mails regarding all the fun so many had seeing Kate while she's in California I thought I would share some.

Today was the Pleasant Hill book signing and my friend and I drove the 100 miles to go see Kate! We ended up getting there around 4:00pm and had to wait those 3 long hours until Kate got there. Normally it would have been <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">bearable</span> but it got <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">sooooo</span></span> hot! Luckily the workers in the Border's cafe was kind enough to bring out small drinks to everyone. We weren't that far back in line (we were very close to the door) and when we got there we got our wristbands. </span><span style="font-size:85%;">In the line my friend and I were <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">inbetween</span></span> this very nice couple who had a singleton and quads (who were absolutely ADORABLE) and an old woman who seemed more <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">ecstatic</span> than us to meet Kate. (Rumor also had it that Jon and the kids were there, but I heard that from the older woman next to me so who knows).</span></div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:85%;"> </span></div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:85%;">Anyway, around 6:45 they allowed everyone with the pink wristbands to walk in. The line went really fast and we had now moved up to second in line due to the red wristbands. So, as we're waiting in line, you actually pass Kate (you had to loop around to the table though) and -sigh- she looked gorgeous!

Although I had never heard of this woman up until your article, I don't know how these two women can even be compared. The only similarity I see is that their rise to fame was both a quick one. Jon & Kate have millions of fans and have been on TV for a while now. Kate has become a celebrity in her own right as an author of three books. With that come people that feel the need out of sheer jealousy to write horrible things about her simply because she is no longer <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">relateable</span></span> because of her wealth. The shows success suddenly wasn't about the adorable kids, but recaps on how date Kate berate her own husband. People seem to think that just because she is on TV, that he life can be judged and criticized just because someone feels that they could do better.<br /><br />Susan Boyle is being praised for her beautiful voice and Kate is being berated because of her new found wealth and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">unrelateable</span></span> fame.

Yep its 1am here. I worked during the day and spent the night hiding plastic eggs with goodies inside, finishing up large stuffed Easter baskets and getting all outfits prepared for church. Tomorrow will be a busy hectic day. But Easter for us is more like Christmas. Lots of visiting, eating, and presents for the kids. They are so excited. I am just, well as Kate says "exhausted!". I want to wish everyone that reads this blog (including my baby trolls) a "Happy Wonderful Easter" and hope you've had a "Blessed Passover".<br /><br />I didn't really know which video to choose in honor of this holiday.

With ER ending after 15 years and Guiding light closing its doors after over 50, it seems this week is the ending of several scripted shows. Reality TV is whats in now. Some love it, some use it to do nothing but snark about others lives so they don't have to worry about their own. I am beyond blown away by things that people say on some blogs. I agree 100% that behind the guise of some random name they feel that they can pretty much attack whomever they want even though they don't even know them. They move past Kate and try to make comments about this blog and others like it they know us personally. I just laugh. I am so above and beyond the horrible jealousy. I am flattered that my blog is such a top priority. I strive to make the best fan blog there is and I appreciate the constant love and support! I HAVE ARRIVED!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Nashville Southern Women's Show</span><br /><br />I received so many wonderful stories about the Southern <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Women's</span> Show in Nashville it was hard to pick one to showcase.

The people that I spoke to saw none of that. I guess its all in who you speak to. Thank you so much Amanda & Michelle for giving me such great positive stores to share! There were so many people telling different accounts (Jon trying to create a spin-off show??) that I guess the only thing everyone can agree on was that it was hard to hear!<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">"One lady in the audience told Kate that she was half Korean and asked how the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Gosselin's</span></span> incorporated the culture into their lives and Kate said "Stay tuned for Season 5!" So there must be some things shown about their Korean heritage we have not seen yet!!

She seemed very normal, not like a celebrity. She pretty much just talked about what was in the book - if you've read the book you knew the sequence of events and what she was going to say next. It was still neat to hear her talk about her experience. The one thing she said (which I don't remember being in the book) was that the doctor told her to lay on her left side to help with the blood flow. She said when she flipped herself over Leah was kicking all night - so she went back to laying on her right side and squishing Collin and Joel. She said it is funny to see how they are now, and that even in her belly they had the same personalities."<br />"She spoke for just under an hour and then answered about 10 questions from fans. One question started with "My daughter is a carbon copy of Mady...." Kate replied with "Let's never put them in the same room!" She also talked about how every night at the dinner table they go around and say something that they are thankful for, or what the best part of the day was. She said they used to always just copy one another such as "I liked going outside" and the next would say "I liked going outside" and the next "I liked going outside" but she said now they are each picking their own thing to say, and she enjoys hearing what they have to say. After the questions she did a book signing. She would only sign copies of Multiple Blessings, and she would only sign on one certain page (I guess this falls into her loving to be in control!" She just did a quick "Hello... Thank you" to each person - they said she signs 700 books in an hour. The shirt she was wearing was the same as in the Sesame Street Live episode (she is human!)"</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Jon & Kate Plus 8 Season 4 to Be 2 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">DVD's</span></span></span><br /><br />As I had mentioned in my March 20<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">th</span></span> post <a href="http://theanti-gosselinswithoutpity.blogspot.com/2009/03/season-4-dvd-artwork-via-amazoncom.html">HERE</a> about all the changes with the Season 4 artwork and release dates, someone beat me to the punch and posted the new stats for the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">DVD's</span></span>.

As Jon stated, the "show is their life and their life is their show." However, the children aren't working. They are being taped. The children aren't being dragged around the country to speaking events and book signings. If exploiting the children means having a successful show because of the children, shouldn't we all be so fortunate? Let's face it, most of our lives are very boring and yet can be very exciting with only one or two children. We aren't being taped for a cable show. They are.

Wow I must say, this week this blog has been insane with the hits and I feel bad that I haven't been here every day like I used to be. I really thought that once the season was over it would pretty much be a trickle here. But people are still talking about the incredible almost 5 million that watch the season finale and I guess still want to hear what else is going on. Also if any of you from Nashville got to attend the <a href="http://www.southernshows.com/pressroom/?pressroom=true&show_id=29">Southern Women's Show</a> please e-mail me as I would LOVE to hear how it went. As you can see I have added another event for the State of PA that sounds like fun. The First Annual <a href="http://www.pawomensshow.com/About-the-Show.aspx">Pennsylvania Women's Show</a> will have BOTH Jon & Kate in attendance.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">TLC Upfront Promotes Jon & Kate Plus 8 New Season</span><br /><br />What I love about these Upfronts is learning about all the new shows that each Channel will be bringing up for the new season. And while my favorite second show Project Runway was just sadly announced to Lifetime after months of speculation, TLC is now promising 19 NEW shows for its new season. Sadly most of them are Makeover Shows and variations of such. <a id="Reference-8618" hook="referencedObject" class="reference" refid="112475" objecttype="articleObject" href="http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/112475-TLC_Learns_The_Secret_Life_of_a_Soccer_Mom.php">TLC</a> is reworking its scheduling strategy, giving each night of the week a “theme,” with programming that fits within that theme. The network also unveiled its 2008-09 programming lineup. You can see some of the new line-up <a href="http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/100420-UPFRONT_CENTER_TLC_Shifts_Scheduling_Strategy_Unveils_Slate.php">HERE</a>. Of course other New TLC starts will be of all people Jennifer Lopez & Kelly Rips for their new <a href="http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/99233-UPFRONT_CENTER_TLC_Pairs_with_J_Lo_Ripa_and_Consuelos.php">SHOWS</a>. I just find it so funny the people criticize family's for getting TV shows and now even the biggest celebrities will be on the new TLC lineup. More of the list is below:<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:85%;" >"TLC announced today that <em>Jon & Kate Plus 8</em> will return for a fifth season. The popular show that attracted record ratings for its <a href="http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2009/03/jon-and-kate-pl.html">March 23 finale</a> will join a busy roster of returning programs, such as <em>18 Kids and Counting</em>,<em> A Baby Story</em>, <em>American Chopper</em>, <em>What Not to Wear</em>, and <em>Little People, Big World." </em></span> <p style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:85%;">"The cable network has also introduced a host of new series -- more than 19 in all -- that will help fill its schedule in the coming year. They include <em>The Little Couple</em> (a series about newlyweds Bill Klein and Jen Arnold, both of whom are under 4-feet tall); <em>Freakin Fabulous With Clinton Kelly</em> (a fashion show based on his book of the same name); <em>Making Over America With Trinny & Susannah </em>(featuring the original U.K. hosts of <em>What Not to Wear</em>), <em>The General </em>(featuring an interior-designer-turned-contractor), and <em>Mom, Inc.</em> (a new series from Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos that helps struggling entrepreneurs)."</span></p>So the biggest news which everyone already knew was that Season 5 is a big go. Jon & Kate both attended the Upfronts together. <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);">Jon said to "expect the unexpected," and Kate added that "[the family will] be taking a very exciting trip in the near future. Not to give it away, but it'll take us back to our roots."</span> Hmm. So while everyone is speculating a big trip to Korea in the future, what other surprises can be along the way? I'm thinking more reflection as a family and a big haha to all the people that wished their show would end simply because of jealousy. I for one can't wait.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Family Outing Season Finale: Watch the "BIG 10 minute finale HERE!"<br /></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br />The last interview in their famous interview chair and their set!
