Jon and Kate, plus 8 and two more?

[catnapper]

I have been waiting for this separation to come! They're local -- only 15 minutes from me. They used to live in a house a few blocks from me (when they first started with the first TLC documentary) We see Jon all over -- he's always in his car just driving around aimlessly (or so it seems.... and who could blame him to do that just to get OUT of that house?!)

Their house is a thousand times more gorgeous in person. The area is simply beautiful! We were googling the aerial view from work yesterday. The address is no longer showing online, but we all knew where to look anyway

They go to the local church where a lot of family friends go. A lot of my friends and friend's friends have revealed a lot of what REALLY goes on in the family. Lets just say shecomes off BETTER on TV than she is in real life. She's actually somewhat polite on TV. In real life, she's more snotty. If you can believe it!

My friend has a child who is friend with all the kids. She refuses to tell me anything, except "Kate does the best she can with the situation". Hmmmmmmmmm.... I'm not quite sure what that means.

You should hear all the conversations going on around here about them. It seems EVERYONE has a different story to tell about what Kate is really like. Nobody in the church likes her. They have soooo many stories about how she acts towards the congregation. I had a little old man in my store a few weeks ago. My chin dropped with what he said. Shocking because of how the old guy worded it, and shocking how snobby she was from day one (I can PM some of the stories - but don't want to post here because of it being second hand, in case of liability and such)

I didn't see the episode w/the crooked house but this is the potential benefits of 'donating' services/goods to a TV program.

Jon and Kate Plus 8 was a sham for last two years - divorce papers

According to divorce papers filed in a Pennsylvania court, Jon and Kate Gosselin have been living apart for two years, despite representing themselves as a model family to TV viewers across North America in their Jon and Kate Plus 8 reality show.

The document confirms that, despite the Gosselins' continual claims that the press was 'harassing them' and making up stories about their problems, the true depth of their broken marriage was being hidden from public view. While Kate was appearing for paid speeches where she would talk about being a 'super mom', and putting her name to ghostwritten books on parenting, her husband was living over the family garage.

The couple denied vehemently that Jon was dating 23-year-old Deanna Hummel, whom he called a friend of the family, only for that to be shown to be true. They also denied they were living apart, which again was false.

When family members alleged the couple had split and were playing a part for TV, the pair again denied the allegation, which have since been shown to be true.

The divorce papers, in which plaintiff Kate call the marriage "irretrievably broken", state the couple have been unable to agree on a distribution of common property and ask the court to adjudicate.

The divorce was filed on the 23rd of June after Jon Gosselin was seen shopping for apartments in Manhattan's glossy Trump Place. Kate, apparently unimpressed that her husband was planning to splash out on an expensive east coast bachelor pad, said she had no choice but to file for divorce to protect herself.

"Over the course of this weekend, Jon's activities have left me no choice but to file legal procedures in order to protect myself and our children," she said in a statement, claiming the filing was "appropriate and necessary."

Jon fired back that we was "hurt" by the move.

"Yesterday, Kate filed for divorce. Our kids are still my No. 1 priority. I love them and want to make sure they stay happy, healthy and safe.

"My job is being the best, most supportive and loving father that I can be to my kids, and not being married to Kate doesn't change that," he said. "This will be a difficult transition for all of us, but Kate and I will work out a schedule that enables our kids to have plenty of quality time with both of us at home in Pennsylvania."

"I am deeply saddened that we are divorcing, and also hurt by the statement Kate made last night about the divorce. I have always done everything I can to protect our family."

Jon claimed the only thing in the divorce papers he agrees with is a desire to settle things amicably, adding, "Of course emotions are running high for both of us right now, but for the sake of our children and our family's privacy, I hope that we can both limit our public comments about the legal proceedings going forward."

Of course, considering how many things Jon Gosselin has claimed were untrue over recent months, only for them to be proven later, perhaps his statement should be taken with a grain of salt.

Meanwhile, producers of the Jon and Kate Plus 8 TV show have denied Gosselin's girlfriend will be involved in the show going forward, despite the claims of an unnamed 'insider' that was parroted by some sections of the media.

A TLC spokesman said Wednesday there were no plans to include Deanna Hummel in the show, adding, “We are in hiatus and all future episodes haven’t even been planned."

TLC will be running clip shows until the new episodes are ready to air, which is expected to be in August.

In recent weeks it has been alleged that Gosselin is actually dating the daughter of Kate's plastic surgeon, and not Hummel.

Well I would think he prob needs a vacation after having to put up with Kate all this time.. I mean for at least the last year or two she was always on his case about something.. They never ever agree-ed to anything..
