Just Keep Smiling Jon, Or ELSE!

Looks like Jon and Kate plus 8 will be returning for another grueling fifth season. Their first new episode will air May 25th, plus a green speical airing on April 19th. Oh joy, rapture.

Kate Gosselin was recently seen at a book signing in a California Barnes and Noble. Yes, she is on her second book. *puke*

Her first book was on the NY Times Best Seller list. Really? What, are people bored out of their freakin’ minds??? I truly can’t picture myself ever being that bored.

As reported by Hollywood Insider

“Hundreds of Jon and Kate Plus 8 fans converged on a three-story Barnes and Noble store in Glendale, Calif., Tuesday to meet series star Kate Gosselin, who is crisscrossing the country to promote her second book, “Eight Little Faces: A Mom’s Journey”.

The bookstore, about eight miles outside of Los Angeles, was the first stop in Gosselin’s multi-city tour (she’ll be in Huntington Beach, Fresno, and San Francisco later this week), and close to 400 people waited for hours to get a brief audience with TLC’s famous mother of eight.”

Oh hells no! 400 people, waiting hours to see that shrew Kate?
Again, did these “fans” not have hair to wash or socks to sort that day???

I’m guessing Mr. Mom Jon was probably home with the brood, that or their army of paid assistants. Kate’s new book called Eight Little Faces: A Mom’s Journey, should be called Pimp Out My Family and Throw Hubby Under The Bus.

Forgive me, but I can’t understand why people who managed to make a small fortune exploiting their family, would continue to “whore” themselves out for the almighty dollar at the risk of their family becoming psychologically scarred and permanently dysfunctional. These people need CPS, not more reality tv. It’s perverse what Kate and Jon are doing to their children and their marriage.

Considering Kate and Jon are supposedly such avid bible thumpers (didn’t they give their kids action bible figures for Christmas one year?) has the vice “greed” not entered their biblical vocabulary?Perhaps they missed the Sunday sermonL “Thou Shall Not Pimp Thy Family Out”.

One would also think that John would have liked to keep whatever was left of his spine (and manhood), but I guess come May…it’s back to jelly fish mode.

What attracts people to this show? There must be SOMETHING, ANYTHING, else to watch. Surely watching Kate rise to even greater heights of “Bitchdum” and John being henpecked till his family jewels are the size of peas would lose its luster, like after the 1st episode, but the 5TH season? Holy tapdancing Fred Astaires, enough already!

Is it schadenfrende that drives people to watch this trainwreck. Perhaps there’s something to seeing other people’s kids being turned into unrelenting brats. Or Kate losing it over grass stains and dirt on the kids clothes? Or maybe it’s the collective unhappiness of the entire family that turns people on? Now that’s just SICK.

Then again, it could be their cloyingly, icky sugar-sweet (and so fake)Gosselin’s 10 website? In the Q and A section a fan asked:

What is your favorite episode so far (Kate & Jon) and your least favorite episode?

(All answered by Kate, natch.)

“I don’t have a favorite per se, but I especially love the ones where I see our love for our family, our determination to do a great job as parents and the ones where I see the kids loving one another and the experiences our show has brought us. Those are my favorites! Jon? Undeniably the Utah Episode. Our least favorites are the ones where there are painful scenes…we are too harsh to each other or the kids or we don’t react as we should have to a situation. However, that is why our show is a reality show…you get the good, the bad and the ugly and we are determined to be the exact same people that we are when the cameras aren’t there. Many people have been helped by our honesty…so are we “sorry” that certain things are aired? Never.”

Huh? WE are too harsh with each other? And WE don’t react as we should? Well.. don’t forget, it is Kate talking, in the collective of course.

Or perhaps this little gem:
“Have you ever gone a day without someone crying?”

Kate’s snarky reply:

“Has the earth ever gone a day without the sun shining somewhere?”

To me thats like saying does a bear crap in the woods? Is the Pope Catholic? Is Angelina Jolie a soul-sucking succubus? Ok, you get the point.

More probing questions for Kate, the mother of all mothers (if you know what I mean, wink*):

“How many boxes of cereal do you all eat in a week? A year?”

Kate quips:

“We eat about two boxes a day…so you do the math.”

Kate sounding a tad on the irritable side don’t ya think? She can’t even hide her “inner” bitch from her fans. Not a good sign for what she’s like when the cameras aren’t rolling. Does that ever occur?

I just don’t unsderstand how Jon can live with this overbearing harpie of a wife?

Joel McCale from “The Soup” said it best and captured Kate’s most inner beauty in this clip. Sweet Mother of Mercy, she’s a damned raging…well, you can fill in the blanks on that one.

Maybe Jon and Kate’s neighbors have something better to say about them. Um, no.

A juicy little tidbit I found on the Gosselins Without Pity Blog from July last year. YES there is a blog on the Gosselins.

Apparently, Kate and Jon had put some signs on their front lawn last year for a while that were, let’s just say less than neighborly.

The neighbor writes:

“I have been following the unfolding issues regarding Jon & Kate Plus 8 for some time now however have kept my mouth shut about their family until now. I happen to live in the same development as Jon & Kate and have never found them to be personable people. I will say that when they first moved in, you could get a waive out Jon or at least he would acknowledge your presence. However recently i’ve noticed that is no longer the case.

Kate has NEVER been personable.

Numerous times I can recall walking around the development and seeing her doing what she does best (sitting on her butt while a volunteer helper chases after the children). So many times i’ve extended a greeting or a waive and she just looks the other way and does not take the time to acknowledge my existence.

With that said, I was NOT very suprised recently when the topic in the development was the very unfriendly signs that they have now placed in their front yard. A total of 3 signs are now posted in front of their house. The signs read:

STOP!

Do not stop in front of our house.

Do not take pictures.

Do not stop and talk to us.

Uh… hey Kate, if you dont want people to stop, then why does the first sign say STOP? I think having ooglers is part of the territory when you pimp out your family in a reality show that’s filmed at your house.

Another blogger wrote:

“Kate has never been what you would call friendly. It’s quite ironic that she had no problem taking anyone’s money or services or diapers/food/furniture, because she feels that “it takes a village”. Yet…can’t stand the village and tells them to kiss off?! Wow. The irony- it burns.”

Nothing but love, love, love. A good friend once coined the term, “It takes a village to stone an idiot” and well, this may very well be a good test case for just that. Metaphorically speaking, of course!

Some people in the online community were questioning if the signs were in fact real or if it was a rumor. But a local radio station in Pa. was discussing the signs last July, and three neighbors called in and confirmed that the signs were in fact there. SO, the answer is YES, Jon and Kate suck as neighbors too.

Since they get supposedly get $25,000.00 a week for the show, (I wonder how much Kate actually gives Jon for his allowance? ) they seem to be sitting pretty. Not to mention all the cash they get from their books and DVD sales. Hmmmm….I need a gag gift for a party coming up, one of their DVDS would do quite nicely.

Maybe Jon has a master plan down the road, to finally be free of Kate’s claws and he will leave in a blaze of glory with his half of the dough, drive off into the sunset in a nice convertible, music blazing, flipping Kate the bird, while Kate stands on the front lawn with her mouth agape. Now THAT, I’d watch.
.
Of course we don’t condone Jon leaving eight kids behind…(he can have joint custody) but could anyone blame the guy. Maybe his little night out with the college sorority girls was a testing of the waters. No doubt the level of fury and wrath from Kate over that bad PR still has him licking his wounds.

Now, before I get a bunch of angry Jon and Kate lover comments…remember THEY are the ones that chose to put their lives on camera and hey if you have something to say…so bring it!

I know marriages are not perfect all the time, to say the least and all couples do argue. That’s normal and I personally can never imagine giving birth and taking care of a litter of eight kids either. But I do know one thing, if it did happen to me, and I was blessed with an income like theirs and a husband that would stick around, I certainly would get a handle on myself and lose the attitude right quick.

Kate just may end up being one of the most hated moms since Faye Dunaway played Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest.
