John and Kate Gosselin will no longer be on reality TV, starting this November.
It's time to breath a sigh of relief: TLC has announced that they will stop airing the Gosselin reality-show quagmire this November.
Jon & Kate Plus 8, as the show was originally called, morphed into Kate Plus 8, when John Gosselin's antics became too much for the family-friendly TV channel. But then John forbade TLC to film his brood, and the network was left with nothing.
According to People, TLC will try to air a few more episodes with footage they have, but come November the saga will no longer be fueled by reality TV. Unfortunately, we doubt very much … Read More
Kate on Today Show: "I can't sleep at night. I can't pay my bills"
Kate Gosselin went on The Today Show this morning to discuss the weekend's latest Jon-is-a-jerk news, that he emptied out a joint money market account the couple used for household expenses, leaving her with only $1,000. And it's not the first time he's taken food out of their kids' mouths. "A few days before I filed for divorce, he had [taken funds out of the joint account]," Kate said in an emotional interview. "He didn't empty it completely, but it was enough that I was afraid of not being able to pay my bills…. I have a … Read More
An interview on Larry King Live reveals a suit against TLC's Kate Plus 8.
Entertainment Weekly had an interesting rundown of Jon Gosselin on Larry King Live (didn't Larry used to interview former heads of state and Marlon Brando?). In addition to amounts of verbal diarrhea we gleaned the following from his talks with old Hunchy McDivorcey:
1: Jon is really, really sorry. He apologized to Kate Gosselin (awww) and Hailey Glassman (hmm).
2: Jon is getting some therapy (applause) and now he is empowered (cringe). Read: When Couples Therapy Doesn't Work
3: Jon had an "epiphany" (golf clap) and thinks the kids should be off of Jon And Kate Plus 8 (nod … Read More
Jon Gosselin kicked off "Jon & Kate Plus 8."
This morning TLC announced that John would no longer be appearing in Jon & Kate Plus 8, and that the show will be renamed Kate Plus 8, according to People. At least it still rhymes. On November 2, we'll no longer be seeing the male half of the troubled Gosselin couple on TV. Except, maybe we will… Jon may be soon showing off his people skills in a talk show—he's reportedly taped a pilot costarring Paula Deen, Food Network star.
Whether or not Jon appears on the boob tube with estranged wife Kate, the couple's problems will continue. … Read More
Jon Gosselin's tearful interview on ABC may win back fans. Plus, Kate's $400K Playboy offer.
Yesterday Kate Gosselin shocked us by stepping out of the spotlight. Limelife says she tore up a $400,000 offer from Hugh Hefner to pose for a spread in Playboy (a source told Star she "was totally mortified and threw it away! She didn't think it was appropriate because of the children.")
Meanwhile her husband Jon Gosselin finally stepped into the limelight to clear up media buzz, giving his first television interview without Kate since their split last May. If you set aside the whining and accusations directed at his soon-to-be-ex-wife Kate that she … Read More
Jon Gosselin tells Us Weekly he wants to stop taping while Kate's in denial about their divorce.
Yet again this weekend it was reported that Kate Gosselin is still wearing her wedding band.
She and husband Jon of TLC's Jon & Kate Plus 8 filed for divorce late last spring after their season's shocker finale in which they announced their decision to part ways. Jon's summer has been filled with exotic vakays and weirder, younger women while Kate has been the one seen more often with their children.
Kate may be in denial about what lies ahead. She told Larry King on CNN last night when he asked her how it feels to … Read More
Jon & Kate Plus 8's season premiere shows newly single Kate conquering momhood without Jon.
Last night's highly-anticipated season premiere of TLC's Jon & Kate Plus 8 was, amazingly, not as drama-ridden as we had anticipated. Jon was almost completely absent, while Kate shocked us in her shining new role as a single mom.
Despite expectations, the dynamic quite suits her. Last night's two episodes began taping in May just as the Gosselins announced their earth-shaking divorce. Kate opened the show saying matter-of-factly, "We have to start over...The official [divorce] decisions have been made...[and that's made for] more of a sense of peace."
The decisions were made, but Kate … Read More
Kate Gosselin and Reggie Bush we'll keep. This week the others were just too scandalous.
The Jude Law pregnancy zinger topped off one heck of a week in Celebrity Love drama. The highlights are here, and the letdowns are low. Even if these stars came knocking with an extra ticket to St. Tropez or spots for us on their reality shows, we'd probably be busy washing our hair.
Jude Law Honestly Jude? Thanks to him there's a 24-year-old aspiring model named Samantha Burke from Pensacola who's registered at Babies "R" Us all by herself. The worst part is not even what we heard about him refusing to use protection: it's the fact … Read More
Jon and Kate may be seen dating on TV, says TLC president.
We've been writing about Jon and Kate Gosselin longer than we'd like to think about. However, one thing that never occurred to us was how easily Jon and Kate could divert horribly into a bad Dr. Suess book. Possible lines include:
Jon and Kate can't find a mate.
Oh no! Jon and Kate might be late.
Will Jon and Kate take the bait?
Jon and Kate will let it up to fate.
You get the picture. However, we'd like to thank Us Weekly for helping use with those rhymes after dropping the bombshell: Jon and Kate will date on … Read More
Kate Gosselin's bachelorette pad is a sweet escape now that Jon is finally "being the dad."
Remember those "Calgon, take me away" commercials from the '80s? Kate Gosselin seems to have begged for an escape from her surreal life and is finally getting a break.
We all know that Jon Gosselin has spent last month cavorting in Europe and New York City with much younger (and not very impressive) women, and that he recently settled into a bachelor pad in Manhattan for $5,000 a month (which those of us New York dwellers know doesn't score him much more than a toilet and a hot pot). And now Kate is getting some … Read More
