  • Kate Gosselin: Does She Need to Grow A Pair?

    Kate Gosselin has long been known as a fierce mom-warrior. Just watch old episodes of Jon & Kate Plus 8, and you’ll see there’s no question that this woman has a plan, the energy to carry it out, and the voice to let anyone know if they stand in her way, they’ve had it. Ask Jon Gosselin if you have further questions.

    So what happened to Kate Monday night on Celebrity Apprentice?

    Spoiler Alert. If you didn’t watch Monday night’s episode of Celebrity Apprentice, you might want to stop reading. Right here.

    Kate Gosselin heard those infamous words spoken by Donald Trump–the ones no contestant on Celebrity Apprentice ever want to hear.

    “Kate, your fired,” the Donald told her on Monday night.

    Did she deserve to go?

    Kate hasn’t been what anyone would call a powerhouse throughout the season, but she’s been a ‘slow and steady wins the race’ kind of team player. She hasn’t succumbed to the ridiculous drama that has been all-encompassing between Brandi Glanville and Kenya Moore. On Monday night, Brandi steered clear of all drama, but it ensued–this time between Kenya Moore and Vivica A. Fox. In fact, Vivica delivered one zinger to Kenya that will no doubt go down in the books as the funniest–but true–line of the season.

    “Stop it, baby. You sittin’ over there with a badonkadonk that’s fake as hell, so don’t go there. Don’t go there. She doesn’t have them boobs done? Come on, stop that, Kenya. Sittin’ over there with a seven-pack of lashes on. Stop that,” she said.

    Kate Gosselin, meanwhile, became lost in the drama. Instead of using that time to line up her soldiers for battle with Donald Trump, she grew weary of the fight, and appeared like she hadn’t a clue about what to say to defend herself and her team–the losing team.

    The old Kate Gosselin would have raised her voice, turned red in the face, and fired back at the silliness that took place between Kenya Moore and Vivica A. Fox. Even if it had little to nothing to do with why their team lost the challenge, she could have at least tried.

    Kate appeared on the Today show on Tuesday morning–a morning-after tradition this season for those fired from the show.

    Does Kate Gosselin need to grow a pair?

    Celebrity Apprentice was filmed last fall, so in reality, Kate has long since healed since getting the boot from Donald Trump. She is also rumored to be dating a millionaire.

    Hopefully she’s dusted herself off and unearthed some of that former assertiveness that made people either really love her or really hate her. Without it, however, she just isn’t Kate Gosselin. And Kate is a force to be reckoned with.

  • Kate Gosselin: Was Jon Gosselin at Her Yard Sale?

    Kate Gosselin held a yard sale at her family’s church on Saturday and Jon Gosselin was spotted perusing through the items she was selling. TMZ speculates Jon showed up to see if Kate was selling any items that once belonged to him.

    Kate was reportedly selling items like helmets and car seats. Proceeds from the yard sale didn’t go to pay Kate Gosselin’s bills, as some outlets reported. Instead they were donated to the Animal Rescue League.

    The yard sale was in fact a group effort on behalf of congregants of the church that Kate and her kids either attend or have ties to.

    The Daily Mail reports that Kate wasn’t particularly pleased when Jon Gosselin showed up at her yard sale on Saturday. It seems he pawed through Kate’s items and then hung out with his kids for a while. Since Jon was recently evicted from his apartment, he might not have been able to afford the items Kate put out for sale.

    Aside from looking through Kate Gosselin’s yard sale items, Jon’s presence there was likely made even more awkward because Kate’s bodyguard Steve Neild was reportedly present at the church as well. Rumors have run hot and cold throughout the years since Jon and Kate’s split about Neild serving as way more than just a bodyguard to the former Jon and Kate Plus Eight star.

    Hopefully Kate Gosselin got rid of lots of items at her yard sale this weekend, and perhaps even returned some things to Jon that she didn’t sell and that he couldn’t afford to buy back from her. Following that kind of awkward afternoon, do you expect Kate will purge her household this way again–or might she simply haul it all away to Goodwill instead?

  • Kate Gosselin: Ex-Husband Jon Evicted from Home?

    Kate Gosselin’s ex-husband Jon Gosselin has reportedly been evicted from his rental home. The former Jon and Kate Plus Eight star has already managed to find a new rental, however, and it’s reportedly in the same neighborhood as the home from which he was evicted. Has that man no shame?

    “It’s true. The eviction happened last week. He could no longer afford the rent. He has moved out and is already in a new place in the same neighborhood,” a source tells E!. “The job at the credit card company he was working for didn’t pan out. The anticipated income wasn’t there and the situation deteriorated.”

    Another source says it’s making things very difficult for Jon with regard to spending time with his eight children. It seems Kate Gosselin won’t allow him to hang out with their kids at her home and his new place is really small.

    “The saddest part of it is he now has nowhere to take the kids. He’s not allowed at the house, so he was taking them to his old apartment. But the new one is too small for eight children. It’s heartbreaking,” the source says.

    Jon Gosselin can’t even get any friends to help him out financially, as they are quite certain he won’t ever be able to pay back the money. Jon doesn’t have a great track record when it comes to keeping a job. From working at a landscaping company to waiting tables and now the working at the credit card company–there’s a definite pattern here. No matter what he does for work, it never works out–but it’s never his fault.

    That doesn’t stop him from dissing Kate Gosselin when she puts the kids on TV either.

    “Hear me very clearly, if there was another way to singly support eight children, you would not know this name and I would be on an island, and so would they. You would never hear from us again,” Kate Gosselin said during an interview this summer.

    She made it quite clear that she only puts her kids in the spotlight as a means of supporting them and their lifestyles.

    Jon Gosselin should learn from Kate–only on a much smaller scale. If he could simply keep a job–most any job, in fact–he would likely be able to afford to pay his rent.

  • Kate Gosselin: Is She Desperate For Control?

    Kate Gosselin: Is She Desperate For Control?

    Kate Gosselin might pretend to be a perfect mom, but she is just as crazy as ever and reportedly even spies on her children while they have phone conversations with their father Jon.

    Even worse, if she isn’t around to do the spying herself, she makes sure she doesn’t miss any of the juicy details of the phone conversations by asking her nannies to spy on the children for her.

    Jon and Kate have been divorced for a while now and they are still not on good terms. Kate and Jon cannot stand to be in the same room together and whenever they have the chance to talk bad about each other, they have no problem doing so.

    It’s no secret that Kate is a control freak. In fact, that is one of the main reasons that she and Jon did not get along. But would Kate really demand that her nannies spy on her own children?

    According to a nanny that worked for Kate, that isn’t the only thing she demanded of them. Kate allegedly has a rule book for her nannies and demands that they read and memorize it. Not only must the nannies listen in on the phone calls, but the calls must be limited and Jon is under no circumstances allowed access to the front gate of Kate’s home.

    The nanny went on to say that Kate also wanted her to email all the details of the phone conversations to her as soon as they were over.

    “Even if we had a conversation about nothing, I had to email her all the details,” the nanny said. “And I also had to keep a log of every time Jon returned the [shared] van to make sure he used the correct amount of gas!”

    The nanny described Kate as a nightmare to work for, but said that she enjoyed being around Jon and that he was always kind and respectful to her.

  • Kate Gosselin And Twins Redeem Themselves On The View

    Kate Gosselin has been criticized for being strict with her children but has always defended herself by swearing that her children were happy. Last week, Kate’s two oldest children Mady and Cara had a chance to set the record straight with an interview on the Today Show. While the world was anxious to hear what the two twins had to say about their lives, they were awkwardly silent.

    When asked a question, neither of the girls seemed to feel comfortable answering and both of them looked at each other and their mother for answers. Kate tried to persuade the girls to talk but when that didn’t work, she resorted to answering the questions for them.

    Kate said that the girls were just nervous, but rumors that they were too afraid to answer began to surface. Had Kate threatened the girls not to speak publicly about their lives or were the two young girls simply caught off guard?

    Kate and her girls had a chance to redeem themselves this week on The View and the interviews seemed to go a little better. The girls were asked simple questions such as, “What kind of stuff do you do around the house to help your mom?” and “What do you guys like to do?” The girls seemed a little nervous, but eventually answered and seemed to be genuine. They even appeared to be comfortable talking about their parents’ divorce and at one point joked about their interview on the Today Show.

    When Barbara Walters asked the girls to explain what it was like to live with so many siblings, Kate turned to Mady and said, “You’ve waited your whole life for this question.”

    Mady jokingly said, “You ruined my dramatic silence!” and proceeded to answer the question.

    Do you think Kate rehearsed the answers with her girls or do you think they were being honest during the interview?

  • Jon Gosselin Apology: Regrets Behavior, Ready to Move On

    Jon Gosselin’s apology to his ex-wife Kate will appear in the next issue of People magazine, which is scheduled to hit newsstands this Friday (June 22) According to the publication, the estranged couple are apparently getting along now, and have attempted to put their past behind them.

    Regarding the number of women he dated following the split, Gosselin appears to be remorseful. “I am sorry, because I did stuff I wouldn’t want done to me,” he explained. Gosselin also added that he accepts “his share” of the responsibility for their marriage’s collapse, stating that his passive-aggressive nature prevented him from communicating with his wife.

    Although he’s considered returning to the entertainment industry on a number of occasions, the father of eight says that nothing he’s been offered thus far has been the right fit for him. According to him, some of the offers were fairly outrageous, and he didn’t want his children to think less of him for appearing on a television program just to make a few dollars.

    “I used to talk to Rabbi Shmuley Boteach (Michael Jackson’s rabbi) a lot when I lived in New York,” Gosselin explained. “He said, ‘There are two things you can do with your fame – sell out or take it and use it for good.’ I didn’t grasp that at the time.”

    Gosselin, who now lives in Berks County, Pennsylvania and works as the director of sales and promotions for Gameface International, is ready to get his life back in order.
