The Kids are Growing up…. Poor Kate

It sounds like the gosselin sextuplets are growing up as the arguments are beginning to fill the house according to Kate. She has even put out a plea for Help on her official TLC blog on Thursday. I find it surprising that she did not see this coming, one or two kids tend to start to argue, but when you have six of them all at the same age and two more a couple years ahead of then is just a recipe for chaos.

Kate has attempted to let the kids sort out their issues themselves, but id does not seem to be working. Parents often think that you can tell your kids to just express their frustration with words, but kids tend to be a little more demanding. Well watch out Kate. Just wait until they are all grown up and all of them want to borrow the car at the same time! Then you will REALLY have your hands full!

The Sextuplets Celebrate their Birthday

It was six years ago monday that the Gosselin sextuplits were born to Jon and Kate Gosselin. Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel are going to celebrate their gosselin birthday definitely growing up but things definitely not been a smooth year. This will be the first birthday since their parents divorce and the former couple will not be spending the day together and each is drawing plans for their birthday on their own. Kate took to her blog reminiscing over the last 6 years.

The Gosselin Sextuplets Turn Six

I didn’t yet know on the day they were born who was who and how they’d add to our family, ow did I end up with these exact kids? It always amazes me how unique and special they each are alone. But when they are all together, they’re a perfectly blended garden of wild flowers!

Jon being manipulative as usual told his always close at hand paparazzi connections that he was merely hoping that he would be allowed to see his kids. However based on the number of gifts he he came out of the store with one would assume that he is going to at least spend some time with them.

At least this time they are sparing the public from having to watch the made-for-TV show at the beginning of last season just as the marriage troubles began to surface. Both Jon and Kate were visibly awkward around one another despite celebration featuring bouncy castles, pinata smashing and a picnic.

Kate Gosselin took to the Tonight Show on Thursday and talked to Jay Leno about topics as far ranging and important as the war in Afghanistan and the floods in Louisiana…

Just Kidding.

No, actually it was the usual stuff however Jay seemed to be very sympathetic to her situation. The host asked pointed questions as to the employment status of Jon Gosselin (which she replied he was not to her knowledge), as well as critics claiming she does not spend enough time with her kids. Jay offered sympathy saying he doesn’t quite get their concerns noting:

I don’t quite get it. It seems to me most single moms work at least eight to ten hours a day, which is what your doing.

Kate is facing a potential custody battle with her ex says that she receives this kind of criticism a lot and laments having to constantly defend such attacks.

But the truth is, moms work. Single moms work. I travel and work – that’s my job.

Jay also spoke about the high ratings for this seasons Dancing with the Stars being attributed to Kate’s presence on the show, but she doesn’t take the credit saying she thinks most people tuned in just to see if she would fail. She excerpts from the interview below:



The Gosselin Kids now have work Permits

Breaking news has reported that the Gosselins finally have state permission to film their children. It was reported last year that the couple may have been breaking child labor laws by filming their children without the proper paper work, but at the time the show had already ended production due to Jon Gosselin falling apart in the publics eye.

Filming can now begin for Kates new series of TV specials “Twist of Kate” and “Kate Plus 8” which will follow the reality star mom as she travels around the country trying to help mom overcome obstacles they may face bringing up their children. The children are also looking forward to being back on TV, reports have surfaced that many were confused and upset when filming abruptly ended last year.

With the permits now in hand, it is not a liscence for the couple to begin exploiting their children as it must be reviewed every six months and can be revoked if the situation changes or it is believed that the children are being exploited.

Jon Gosselin has a new Girlfriend

Here we go everyone! Jon Gosselin has introduced his new girlfriend to us all and she is Ellen Ross, a 23 year old who works for the Pennsylvania government. After dating for a few weeks they showed up at a fundraiser to support a local soccer team that Jon’s brother coaches.

Gossip is saying that they met through a friend of theirs and was attracted to instantly. But they want to take things slowly, hes very into her and finds it much easier to date someone also from Pennsylvania not far from his kids. Hes hoping that this one works out!

The Gosselin Septuplets?

Kate Gosselin recently opened up to Access Hollywood and revealed that she actually gave birth to septuplets, rather then sextuplets that we all know and love. The Girl, died shortly after birth due to complications. Kate keeps this information very private having only spoken of the girl once or twice in the years since she was born.

I didn’t spend time maybe grieving or dealing with the fact that there was a seventh baby. … It makes you wonder like, who would this baby have been? Alexis still asks about her and so I wanted to kind of include that in her letter.

The truth came out in her new book “I Just Want You to Know” where Kate explains stories from her past as well as well as a few letters she wrote to each of her eight children writing:

As you know, our seventh baby now lives in heaven with Jesus and went there when she was very tiny.

Twist of Kate may take place in Hollywood

It looks like the Gosselin Home in Reading, Pennsylvania may be up for sale as Kate has been reported to be looking for a home in Los Angeles after her time on Dancing with the Stars has made her fall in love with the Hollywood lifestyle. Jon as you might expect is not happy about this possibility. His lawyer Anthony F. List spoke to his client recently about the possibility and gave these quotes to reporters:

“Jon is not happy about her relocating anywhere. He’s having a hard enough time seeing the children as it is. The law in Pennsylvania is very clear that if you make a move like that, 3,000 miles away, it’s not something that the court supports. If it’s for the children’s best interest to move, then the courts have authority to grant the request. A lot of times, the kids will cry to their mother because they miss their dad, and she’s pretty hard-nosed about it.

Unfortunately if history is any teacher in this situation Kate will probably get her way and many would support her in her move considering Jon’s issues as a father. I just hope that this doesn’t mean that when Kate’s new show “Twist of Kate” its going to just become another celebrity reality show in the same vein as Kendra and Keeping up with the Kardashians. Cause i can only poke my eyes out so much.

Kate Gosselin has her eye on Jake Pavelka

Kate Gosselin and Jake Pavelka

Recently Kate Gosselin has confirmed rumors that she is ready to date again after her long divorce battle with her estranged husband Jon. But according to recent Internet buzz she has her sights set on the “engaged” (yes, that is in quotations) star of last seasons The Bachelor Jake Pavelka. Both are contestants on this seasons popular ABC show Dancing with the Stars (DWTS) as competing dancers.

Kate is well aware of Jake’s attachment to Vienna, the girl he proposed to on the final episode of the Bachelor, but isn’t concerned.

Kate’s got a big ego and an even bigger crush on Jake, and she doesn’t care who knows it. Kate is totally unfazed by the fact that Jake is engaged, and she’s making it clear that they could have a future…Kate’s never looked better, so she feels she could snare a hot guy like Jake. She all believes all is fair in love and war. Since Jake isn’t married yet, she thinks he’s fair game.

One source reported that Kate has even already asked Jake to a romantic dinner, which he politely declined. Some people have commented that Kate likes the short guys and with Jake topping out at 5 foot 8 she feels that she can look him in the eye which is key for a woman who like to call the shots.

Kate Gosselin on Playboy? No Thanks!

Rumors have been swirling lately that Kate Gosselin may take it all off for Playboy. But it turns out that it isn’t true as Hef bluntly put it:

No! No! I don’t think she’s a celebrity.

To make it worse Hugh Hefner expressed surprise that she was even given a spot on the ABC dance competition program. Its looking like Kate doesn’t have many friends lately as her dance partner Tony Dovolani isn’t much of a fan either. In addition to the blow up the two had during rehearsals for the hit show she again snapped recently to him at their Pennsylvania home snapping:

I’m the reason anyone knows your name, So give me a break!

Tony is looking forward to Kate and his run on DWTS early even if it means loosing. Reports are surfacing that he spends the absolute minimum time with Kate as possible. Its become a big joke on the set that Tony got the short end of the stick when he got stuck with the reality TV mother.

Kate Gosselin Still on Dancing with the Stars!

kate-and-tony-dwts

If you are a fan of Dancing with the Stars you have likley seen Kate Gosselins performance which wasnt exactly top notch. Kate herself sat down to watch her elimination round last night and described that she saw as “somone playing the victem in a slasher film rather then a ballroom dancer”.

I’ve been told by more than one person .. that on the night of the first DWTS elimination, the expression on my face looked like something out of a horror movie,

The reality tv mom said she was glad that her children are in bed long before the show was on to save them from the terrified look in her face less they be spooked by it. Lucky for Kate, her fans saved her from elimination and actress Shannon Doherty were kicked off the show by americas votes.

This all despite reports that tensions are high between Kate and her professional dancing partner Tony Dovolani. Rehersal footage was shown with Kate throwing a bit of a tantrum while practicing. Tony at one point threatened to quit at one point complaining that she often takes 90-minute breaks from practice to get manicures and pedicures. Not exactly highest priority when yo are tying to win a reality tv contest!

Despite all of this Kate is well aware that she is the one dragging down the team:

Tony is a marvelous teacher. The problem is the student! And since I’ve never had a stitch of dance training prior to this occasion, I indeed look like a beginner. This I know!
