Okay, the media part was thrown in by me but it is the truth…these little kids have been watched by the media since they were babies.  This wasn’t exactly news to many TLC fans as everyone saw how Jon Gosselin had been acting and there would be no way a TLC show would want to promote that type of behavior. Right?

Here’s what a source told People Magazine:

Given Jon’s recent antics, there was no way the show could continue to portray him as a doting Dad, not while all this other crap was going on,” a source close to Jon Gosselin tells PEOPLE.

“Jon will still be seen on the show from time to time,” the source adds.

 Sounds just like we all thought, I mean with his public dating one girl after another and then kissing all over Hailey and taking her on vacations it was beginning to look bad on TLC. Everyone knew the film crew was always around; someone was keeping something from the viewers. Problem is many of us actually felt badly for Jon the whole time as he was the one being verbally/emotionally abused by Kate. Course we were happy to hear he was going to start over, that is until he flaunted his love life in front of cameras. I mean it wasn’t just the fact that he had a girlfriend but he was doing all this in front of cameras, knowing it would make magazine covers and his children would possibly see them. I must ask how much do you like Jon now?

During the summer Jon traveled all over the place, he even set up a twitter account for himself so he had a place to voice his real feelings. He hit up Vegas and partied like a true bachelor, but of course stopping by the Candy store to look like a doting father.  Besides his shopping trips with Hailey, he also jumped on talk shows to bad mouth his soon-to-be-ex, Kate Gosselin, who is also mom to his 8 children. Kate has watched what she says in public, which I admire because she would totally have every reason to say things back. But instead she keeps it in and just states for the sake of the kids she won’t say anything. Course Jon made comments this past summer that the reason Kate wasn’t talking was because TLC wouldn’t allow her to comment, could this have been another reason he is now off the show? My guess is they warned him a couple of times and then said adios.

NY Times Reports:

“Given the recent changes in the family dynamics, it only makes sense for us to refresh and recalibrate the program to keep pace with the family,” Eileen O’Neill, the president and general manager of TLC, said in a statement. “The family has evolved, and we are attempting to evolve with it; we feel that Kate’s journey really resonates with our viewers.”

Will you continue to watch the show now that Jon is gone? Will the show have anything exciting with just Kate? You tell me.

Just in case you missed it here is some footage of the “Octomom Special” that was released. I can’t find anything from Wednesday night, at least not yet. Just by watching the clip below you can see how this might become a strain on one person, thankfully she did have help and older children that could help.

Just by watching the trailer, one can see there is a small little man that is lashing out for attention. I believe this is the same little man that when Nadya Suleman first came home from the hospital the grandmother was telling her to go visit with him first. I think there is a little one that is jealous of his special spot being taken away and not just by one but many. In this video he strikes at the camera, tosses things, cusses at his mother and steps or tries to step on the babies.

While I won’t touch on having 8 children because I only have four, I do think maybe we could give a bit of advice on how to help Nadya with this little one. What do you all think? Got any tips? Here’s a few:

- make a special time for just him and you, no babies.
- allow him to gently love on the babies, one at a time and get him to bond.
- Do not allow him to get by with the things he is getting away with in this video.

In the “Jon & Kate Gosselin” news, it seems TLC has got very upset with Jon Gosselin’s behavior in the past few weeks. As you all have seen, Jon Gosselin has been drinking, hanging with the girls, having sleep overs and stating things that TLC probably wouldn’t like. It seems that before Jon Gosselin started dating and it was announced that he and Kate Gosselin were splitting up everyone adored him, felt sorry for him. But now, after his ROMPING around it seems he’s made America and I believe the rest of the world SICK and they feel for Kate Gosselin now.

It also seems that Jon isn’t just pissing off Kate and America, but now his other exs. Kate Major, who once worked for Star Magazine as a reporter she fell in love, however now she’s spilling the beans. The two were together for an entire 12 days, when he explained they couldn’t be together if she were a reporter she decided to resign. Right after this, Jon was spotted with Hailey, who he is still with. Now that Jon & Kate are splitting and Jon is just running around, will you continue to watch this show? Or will you hop on over and watch Octomom’s reality show?

People Magazine is reporting:

Documents to initiate a legal split were filed at the Bucks County Courthouse in Doylestown, Penn., on Monday afternoon.

TMZ also got wind of this:

There are reports claiming Jon is planning on moving to New York to live. Sources say he is considering moving into Trump Place.

No news on who will get the kids, but I think Kate will get the whole bunch and Jon will get them on weekends and special holidays. Not sure how they’ll work the show in. I know over the weekend there was no sight of Kate Gosselin at the family home and when someone (press) asked where Kate was all Jon said was he had no clue. Course maybe she was getting him back for ditching her on her birthday for another woman.

Did ya’ll see this coming? I did with the way she treated him and then when he cheated on her and then when we heard she was with her bodyguard. No telling but everyone seemed to be unhappy. My heart goes out to the kids, not Jon & Kate as they walked right into this and knew it. But now the kisd will be facing not only the media that wants those shots but of course their own reality show that mommy made them do. Isn’t there any for them to stay out of the shows if they don’t want it? I doubt they even know if they want it or not, I think that’s what Aunt Jody was saying all along. The poor kids. I guess we’ll all watch as their lives unfold before our eyes, I’m so thankful that I no longer have tv.

Yep, they just can’t help accusing the couple of one thing or another. You know I can picture her hitting him or being bossy, but not cheating…not like she has the time.  The rumor is she’s getting hot and heavy with her bodyguard, Steve Neild, because he travels with them. 

Umm, first isn’t he a bodyguard? Who’s body is he guarding if he isn’t with them? Oh and why can’t they be friends? I totally get if someone caught the two of them kissing or something but that isn’t the case.

People magazine is reporting:

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.  The allegations they’re making about me are disgusting, unthinkable, unfathomable, and I am horrified.”

She went on to talk about her friends:

“These are people who absolutely love us and want to see us through to the end.  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.”

What do you think of all this?

EW: What did you think of the story and photo?
Jon: It’s really upsetting. I may be guilty of choosing the wrong time and place to hang out with my friends, but I am not guilty of cheating on my wife. It hurts me to see what it’s done to my family, and it’s scary to know that these tabloids are in town constantly following us and even paying locals large amounts of money to contribute to these negative stories. It’s even gotten so bad that [one tabloid] has reached out to a youth pastor from our church, which in my eyes is completely unacceptable.”
Kate: It’s disturbing and unfortunate that these tabloids have gone as far as they have to try and bring us down. Jon’s poor judgment and irresponsible behavior has also without a doubt caused some added tension and stress between the two of us.

EW: Does the tabloid story make you want to spend even less time in public? Do you feel like you have to decline future requests for fan photos for fear they may end up in the wrong hands?
Jon: Our fans and the majority of viewers have been overwhelmingly supportive, but when tabloids take photos and turn them into something they are not, yes it definitely makes us hesitant to take photos with fans and go about our daily lives. We still want to live normal lives. We want our kids to have opportunities that we didn’t have growing up, which is why we participated in the show in the first place. But of course it makes us think twice about how we spend our time in public.

EW: Will you address how the tabloid coverage has affected your life in the upcoming season on Jon and Kate, which begins May 25?
Kate: I think we will address the bigger picture, regarding the very public focus on our family and the stress it’s caused in our relationship, but not necessarily any specific tabloid.

EW: That said, the latest tabloid coverage should only boost ratings for the fifth season of your show. Is this comforting, or troubling?
Kate: We are not concerned about the ratings right now. Our main focus is on our family and working through this.

rumored to have cheated on Kate with some college girls down the road at a bar. Many were able to understand why he’d be able to do it but others were disgusted because if he wanted to leave her he should just do it.

He’s saying it never happened and that they have issues but are working on them. Oh and for those worrying, Jon & Kate Plus 8 have just agreed to do another season. They did spend some ALONE time with one another down in LA and were photographed. I mean you never can go anywhere without the cameras finding out.

Ladies Home Journal:

“This struggle has definitely put some tension in our marriage.  But I never cheated on Kate. Kate and I are together.

It is hard being on this side of the camera, and not just sitting here, that’s the easy part, but just going out in the world and trying to live your life.

People see your life as episodes and you see it as a date on the calendar.  We don’t have privacy at all. If I go out, people know I go out and photograph it and do everything they gotta do… That’s tough for me. I can’t be ‘Jon,’ I have to be ‘Jon and Kate Plus 8,’ which is a real hard thing for me. I still haven’t come to grips with it.

…Maybe we’ll be back, maybe we won’t.”

Honestly I can see where this would be an issue, but they signed up for it too. Granted I don’t think they ever saw it becoming so huge, they probably thought it would be a tiny show with a handful of fans. Not this huge thing where they are known worldwide. During the interview Kate mentioned Jon feeling frustrated with the show, I’m sure he does, he’s known more as the whipping boy and he just takes it all. I think more people want to see him get some … ummm… well get the nerve to speak up. Speak his mind more than once during a season.

Apparently Jon has been going down to relax at a college hang out where a bunch of girls tend to hang out. Star Magazine even wrote about Jon having a bit too much to drink and a pretty little blonde, that wasn’t his wife. Oh and he was definitely acting like a college student, he even participated in the drinking game beer bong with the girls volleyball team. OUCH.

What did Jon have to say about all this? What do you think he said…

“It is certainly hurtful for people to spread rumors and lies about us. It certainly makes me reluctant to live my life like the average person would.  This has made it very clear that the simplest innocent gesture — such as taking a picture with a fan, can be taken out of context. As you can see on the show, I am not perfect, but I am a part of a loving family and couple.”

According to a Star Magazine Source: “He was dirty dancing with several of them, making out, kissing them on their necks and mouths,” an eyewitness previously told Star magazine.  “I thought it was rather surprising for a father with his wife and so many kids at home to be acting like this. He was all over one girl, a long-haired blonde who’s nearly 6 feet tall. He left with several of the girls, including her.”

For those that need evidence to how wasted Jon looked, take a peek at the pic at GlossLip.

So how does Kate feel about all the press on this?  Not sure, I haven’t heard her make one comment towards it. Maybe she thinks the silent treatment will work, I hope not.

What do you think of this new development? Did Jon cheat and was there a good reason? (I have another post coming up tomorrow about the ramifications of a possible cheating Jon)

Jon & Kate plus their 8 kids and 2 dogs all went back to the old house last night to say goodbye and do a bit of cleaning. My first thought was why bring the puppies? Won’t that be hard to clean and chase the dogs too? (here’s some cute photos of them) But after moving into the grand house they now have, will they miss the old one? Probably not, sure there’ll be moments of emotion but that probably won’t last long once Kate remembers all the space she now has.

Can you take a moment and list a few memories you have of old episodes that you liked? I remember them riding their bikes in the driveway, course it was pretty small when all of them were out there. Eekk. I also remember when Jon and his brother were making those shelves in the garage. One of them had the kids on the top shelf and Kate came out and freaked. How about a few you didn’t like? I remember the one with the girls making cookies I think it was and Aunt Jodi was there to help. Other thoughts go way back to when they were all babies, but I think that was another house completely.

Lets chat about last night’s episode and the old house, or even what you think will happen at the new house. Oh and Jon mentions making a “Man Cave” how many think he deserves one? Why or why not?

So since it is Friday and this is open chat feel free to talk about anything. What movie you want to see or have seen. I also have a poll in the right hand side of Babylune for Do you think OctoMom will resort to porn.

How do you feel towards
-  Jon & Kate plus 8

-  Alfie the 12 year old dad

-  Breastfeeding in public

Have at it and have fun!

Jon & Kate plus 8 have really done it now, they went and bought 2 brand new puppies. Yes, puppies, not just one puppy or some older dogs, but two very active puppies. They went around petting a bunch of dogs before finally settling down on the two.

Then names of the two german shepherds that they picked out are Shooka and Nala. I wonder if they thought about all those pee and poop spots that they’d have to go back to doing. It was one thing cleaning up after 6 little bottoms but a whole other when dogs come into the picture. Before anyone asks they names were picked out by Kate herself, little Joel tried naming one Scott and she quickly voted it out.

Oh but watching the dogs pee on her carpet was totally worth it. Come on we all know how that goes, if you have a clean house and add a puppy it isn’t always going to be clean. Bringing home a puppy is just like bringing home a baby, you’ll have to constantly give it love and attention.

But there is a silver lining for Kate, getting these dogs will hopefully get the kids to pick up after themselves. Otherwise they’ll lose all their precious toys in the mouths of their young pups.
