Jon & Kate Plus 8? Make that nine. The embattled couple has been on over nine tabloid magazine covers in the last month, including four consecutive Us Weekly covers. Seriously, I nearly didn’t buy the fourth this morning, but my addiction to celebrity gossip is a tolerant son of a bitch. Honestly, I know that people are interested in the Gosselins—the season premiere on Monday racked up 9.8 million viewers—but how many more words can possibly be written about these idiots? He’s a cheater! She has bad hair! They have eight kids! The end.

Britain’s biggest sensation right now is Susan Boyle….America’s is the Gosselins. ‘Nuff said.

I saw a lady at the store over the weekend sportin the same “duck’s butt reverse mullet” hairstyle as Kate. I’ve never wanted to punch someone so hard in my life.

Lest we forget Britain’s months-long obsession with the dying, ignorant Jade Goody, the glorification of her death and her white trash family, writergirl. Every country has their share of tasteless media coverage.

@Tetrine. I did forget about that. I also never paid attention to it, which was why. I had no clue who the poor woman was.

The Tabs are lovin’ unReality TV—anywhere on the planet! And I’m sure our astronauts will soon be on the covers, too, scandalized by *their* sex and toilet habits, and bitchy cabin-fever—*caught on tape.*

Show Biz Tonite reported that TLC is looking for a ‘camera friendly’ apartment for Jon. Not surprising. He’s had it at this point w/Kate. The premier, as I strongly felt, was a phenomonal hit, garnering just under 10 million viewers. I think this season will be a hit w/next year a total question mark. Kate, at this point, is enraged at Jon for making the tabloids first w/his nite out w/the teacher. In fairness, US Mag subsequently (& accurately) destroyed much of any credibility Kate used to enjoy in her fan base, as they have ‘uncovered’ the ‘true Kate’. Her head has to be spinning as to how to keep the show, $‘s, flowing in w/or without Jon. She loves what she does (book tours, speaking to groups) while decrying her real persona has been revealed. Even her brother, sister-in-law, are now ‘seeking $30 G’s’ for a ‘tell-all’ book on Kate.
What was the name of that soap opera?? Oh yeah! As the World Turns!

I think Kate is a very good mother. Jon has’nt turned down any trips or other perks he had the free hair implants and what about that car he was driving on the show monday night we know where the money came from to buy that. I would kick him out and the only way he would see my kids would be on TV, He is such a child himself, He said I can’t believe I have eight kids.Grow up Jon be a man go back to your family and apologise and beg Kate to take you back.

I read the tabloids as do half of the counrty. I know that most of it is not true, but I definitley believe there is always some truth to some of it, no matter who or what the content may be.
