Can't get enough of trash TV!

Postby Nicole Marie » Tue May 12, 2009 1:20 pm

So I'm guilty... Is anyone else as hooked as I am on the Gosselin (Jon and Kate Plus 8) drama as I am? Jon cheated... Kate cheated... sex tapes and of course Kate still rips poor Jon a new one each chance she gets. Love it! Can't get enough! Who else is watching or what other saga are you following?

In case you missed it:


Kate Gosselin 'Horrified' by Claims She Cheated with Bodyguard
By Kate Coyne

Kate Gosselin, whose adventures raising twins and sextuplets are chronicled on the hit TLC reality show Jon & Kate Plus Eight, is fighting back at reports that she has been having a more-than-platonic relationship with Steve Neild, a bodyguard who frequently travels with her and her family.

Two weeks after stories linked her husband, Jon Gosselin, with a 23-year-old school teacher, Kate says she is now the target of tabloid lies. "The next story coming out from the animals that stalk us is about our security person and his family," Kate tells PEOPLE exclusively. "Already the allegations they're making about me are disgusting, unthinkable, unfathomable, and I am horrified."

"These are people who absolutely love us and want to see us through to the end," Kate says of Neild and his family. "Of course, both of them travel with us at times, and we've spent holidays together, because, in this situation, your circle grows smaller and smaller, and it's very natural to become friends with your manager, your publicist, your security team ... they're the only people you have left. And now they're coming under fire."

With few close companions, and her marriage to Jon hitting a rough patch, Kate says she is terrified that this latest round of stories will drive away the friends she and her family have left. "I'm totally panicking, and thinking, 'We are going to lose our last set of friends.' I keep calling them, begging, 'Seriously, I'm so sorry. Don't run away from us.' They keep saying, ‘We're fine, we're fine.' But they have paparazzi in front of their house. It's so upsetting."

Most troubling to her is the realization "we opened our world to this," she says, adding, "but we willingly made a conscious decision to put this out there. Our friends and family did not. I had no idea we would potentially take down the people that we love around us."

She adds: "It's like saying, 'Thanks for your support, let me sic the paparazzi on you.' It's very very difficult. It leaves us, essentially, alone and friendless. It's terrible.

Ultimately, Kate says she does not know what she can do to stop the insanity. "The scary thing for me is [the tabloids] are going to take information and create a story. It's a matter of, 'When will they stop?' They're going to keep going, and they'll make up stuff to connect the dots."

Sounds like one of the primary reasons I leave my television set turned off most of the time.

Nicole, I can recommend some excellent CD's...

Don't fret Nicole Marie - I'm with you. My guilty pleasure is getting Us Weekly - totally trash - generally I skim for pictures of the babies, funny quotes and Fashion Police, but as I have seen Jon & Kate plus 8 - I got sucked into the story. Seems like they've got a really weird relationship to begin with and now can't live without the show. My advice to Kate - want your life back? Quit the show. It's that simple. The world will not end if Jon & Kate plus 8 ends....

I'd just watch to see stuff like them taking all the kids to Disney - crazy!

I agree! The TV show killed the relationship. Plus Kate seems to make life unbearable for Jon and the TV show seems to amplify it. I think they should ditch the show and get some couples counseling. She's pretty evil. And her brother just said they were on the outs six months ago... I know the new season starts soon but I wonder how much of the show will be up to date and reflect the new trouble or if this was all filmed before this came up?

Aren't they supposed to be super-Christians?

I read the episode lists. Sounds like a deadly dull show. What makes it better than that?

I have to admit that I enjoy watching COPS periodically.

Did you ever watch Cops on the G4 network? While Cops is played people can go online ot the G4 website and comment on the show as it's on air and they post the online comments on the TV screen as the show is played! It's mostly people commenting on how dumb the people who get arrested are... very funny stuff!

On the Jon and Kate side... I just saw a TV commercial on CNN for the new season on TLC. They said that when the season opens it will be a special where Jon and Kate sit down to discuss the rumors going around. It's all very interesting... wonder if Kate will bite Jon's head off like a praying mantis?

I watched it once. I didn't quite follow the banter on screen, and it blocked out some of the action.

My daughter has been told that when she finds me leaving the stove on or watching daytime TV she is to put me in a home for the demented.

Cops is most fun if watched with a high-maintenance ex-parole officer. This dresden doll of a woman would be screaming at the screen "he's gonna run! Damn it you jerks, look at 'im! He's gonna run!" and then when the suspect ran, she'd chew out the cops.
It was grand fun.

Piqaboo sounds like fun watching Cops with an expert!

So not sure if anyone saw the opening of Jon and Kate? She didn't eat his head but came damn close. She is one of the most miserable people on the planet. Understandable she's hurt by her husband spending time with another woman. But what got me was that she was not aware that her abusive behavior was equally to blame. When you never say anything nice to someone for 10 years and always criticize then that person will eventually get fed up and move on. She admits her behavior but does nothing to change. And the worst is the kids... they are at an age where they are starting to see all of it. Poor things.

Is it possible that she's a lot nicer to him than the editors ever let us see on screen?

Could be but I doubt it. In the episode she admits to being a pain for the past 10 years and being very angry towards him. If you catch the show there is really no break. Every word she says to him is critical and never praises him in any way. She once drilled him about how he inhales wrong. She's horrible. Here is a You Tube click some one put together: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZJIi9A2Grw

It's 9 min of hell.

Well, TLC announced they were changing the name of the show to 'Kate Plus 8' with minimal involvement from Jon. Now Jon has a cease & desist order, stopping production of the show and says he had an epiphany and now thinks it's not good for the kids to be filmed while they're going through the divorce. So, Kate is saying he's doing it because of the name change... I say, who cares why he wants it stopped, it's probably the best thing for the kids. They've gotten over $1 million, should be enough to take care of the kids through their childhoods. They don't need to be on the show to be provided for anymore, Kate just doesn't want to get out of the limelight. Neither parent seems to have been thinking about the kids much through all this, but even if his motive is off, Jon's doing the right thing...

I think Jon's motives are not very honest. He recently took all the money out of the joint bank account with Kate and the courts put Kate in charge of the bank account with the kids money saying Jon was not responsible enough. He is also in danger of defaulting on his million dollar pent house in NYC. The kids bank account has $500,000 in it and given in America that it costs $300,000 to raise one child to the age of 18 (just for house, food and clothing) then they still have some work to do. Kate is working on her own talk show and was in the news this morning saying that there are still bills to pay and that someone has to bring in money to the family since Jon is not working.

He seems very childish to me. I agree enough with the kids on TV but his motive is not honest. It's only to look good for the courts since they are still not divorced and the courts have recently granted Kate control of certain family issues and not him. He desperate and trying to change his image but not his ways.
