Jon & Kate (Jon out chasing coeds!!!!)

[Scoops]

I have been reading this story since the weekend. He is in big trouble. If forgetting a coupon sets off Kate, then this ought to bring on something real nasty.

Say it ain't so! Star Magazine is reporting that Jon Gosselin, star of the hit TLC reality show, "Jon & Kate Plus 8" may be cheating on his wife.

According to the Magazine, Jon--who along with Kate and the rest of his brood recently moved into a $1.3 million dollar mansion in Pennsylvania--recently crashed a party at Juniata College in nearby Huntington, PA and played beer pong with members of the women's volleyball team.

The following night he apparently went to a nearby sports bar, again with members of the women's volleyball team and allegedly made out with a number of them.

The Magazine quotes a witness at the bar as saying:

"He was dirty dancing with several of them, making out, kissing them on their necks and mouths. 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."

Jon is also said to be frequenting other bars close to his home, even spending Valentine's Day away from Kate. Supposedly, he's even tried to pick up women while out with his mother.

Star Magazine also features a screenshot of this Live Journal entry and photo of a very drunk-looking Jon at a bar with two girls.

I must say, this all really breaks my heart. I recently interviewed Kate Gosselin and although she may come across as irritable on the show at times--her response to my asking her for a reason for this was, "Walk a day in my shoes and you'd be irritable too" which I completely respect -- she was a very kind throughout our phone conversation. I know some will speculate that the stresses of raising such a big family may be causing a strain on Jon and Kate's marriage, but I hope that the couple's strong Christian faith gets them through all of this--whether it's true or all just nasty rumors.

For more on the story, you'll need to pick up Star Magazine--the complete article isn't featured on their website. (yet)

Jon minus Kate and 8:TV dad visited mom, partied in Huntingdon
By Ashley Gurbal, agurbal@altoonamirror.com
POSTED: March 7, 2009

Reality TV dad Jon Gosselin of "Jon & Kate Plus Eight" has been spotted out and about in Huntingdon - minus his wife and their eight children.

Sightings of Gosselin partying with Juniata College students were reported this week by Star Magazine and several celebrity gossip Web sites. John Wall, a spokesman at Juniata, confirmed the stories.

"His mother lives in Huntingdon, and he was at a bar that Juniata students go to," Wall said Friday. "Apparently some of the students invited him to a house off-campus, and he was there for an hour and a half and went back to the bar."

Wall said Gosselin met the students at Memories, a bar on 13th Street in Huntingdon. An employee who answered the phone Friday afternoon at Memories would not comment on Gosselin's visit.

"We're not real proud that our picture was in a national magazine," said the employee, who declined to be identified.

The two female students hosting the party were unaware that Gosselin had been invited until he showed up, said Gabriel Welsch, assistant vice president of marketing at Juniata.

"They're not very happy that their names were shared," Welsch said. "One of the young women said to me that at first it was kind of novel, a celebrity came by their house and they took some pictures and he took off, but then the gossip columns did what they do and tried to make something more out of it, and they regret having opened that door.

Welsch said at the party, Gosselin "was sitting on a couch for awhile, just sort of meeting people, and played a little beer pong ... and then he left."

Wall said the events happened maybe two or three weekends ago, but he couldn't confirm any dates. He said the college's newspaper, The Juniatian, covered the story, which may have been how Star Magazine picked it up and sent a reporter to campus.

"We don't really know how Star got it," Wall said. "The two girls whose names were in the story did not give them any photos. They got them from another student, but I don't know who it was."

"Jon & Kate Plus Eight" is a reality TV series on TLC about Jon and Kate Gosselin and their eight children - twins and sextuplets.

Laurie Goldberg, TLC's senior vice president of communications, offered the following statement in an e-mail Friday: "Jon and Kate are part of the TLC family and we support them completely."

Wall said the publicity isn't positive or negative for Juniata.

"All the kids were over 21, and nothing really happened," he said. "This person's celebrity is kind of shining a light on the college, but it's not good or bad, it's just kind of neutral because they're following his behavior, and our kids' behavior seems to be pretty normal college kid behavior."

I don't watch this show, and to be honest, only know of them from Joel McCale making fun of them on "The Soup". He shows clips of them, basically fighting, making fun of how whipped he is, or how mean she is to him.

All that said, cheating is unforgiveable IMO. I really hope it was nothing but gossip.

Me too...I think the clips on The Soup are hysterical!!! I'm thinking Kate is coming a close second to Tyra on Joel's hit list...you can tell he thinks she is horrible to Jon.


I have been following it mostly because it's my mom's favorite show and she keeps asking me what is up!! lol

I don't watch the Jon & Kate show but I saw them on Oprah yesterday.

Oprah asked about how Jon & Kate have received a lot of viewer feedback as they act quite snippy to each other.

They said they were working on it. Afterall, all couples can get snippy with each other and especially those with 8 kids !

The kids seemed to be very well behaved sitting on Oprah's stage. Lolipop bribes seem to do wonders O.-

[NYSitter]

I have watched the show sort of semi-regularly and she never bothered me until just recently. I think she is a perfectionist trying to keep things in control in a world where you cannot keep things in control and he seems really laid-back to the point of driving her crazy. I have lived with one like taht for 52 years now. It is called passive-aggressive. They can really needle you while appearing to others to be so sweet to others.

Anyway, a week or so ago the show was about them getting two puppies. First she would not let the kids name them. Then at dinner one of the twins organized them all to say to her in unison "Thanks for the puppies Mommy". Her answer in a very snotty tone was "You'r not welcome". That pissed me off. The kids were doing a really nice thing and she put them down like that.

I believe that she has her hands full, but she lives in a beautiful home, and seems to have every creature comfort that she possibly could have. There is a new show coming on that may supercede her. It is about a couple with two sets of twins and then sextuplets also.

I think she just has a really sarcastic nature about her.

[Danielle]

I watched the show since it was just a documentary, I rarely watch anymore, I do NOT like Kate at all, the last straw for me was after reading their book. I used to really enjoy her and the show.

IMO she has let "fame and money" go to her head. I also don't like how hard she can be on the kids, I am all for discipline but she doesn't even let them get dirty when they play, it's almost a phobia with her, and it's affecting some of the younger kids.

In her book she gave me the impression she expects a lot out of people, she spoke of receiving a free home makeover before bringing the babies home and having a meltdown because she didn't like the colours?????

She came across as very ungrateful to all the people that helped her with the babies feedings etc..

I think too much attention has made her head way too big.

************************************************** *********

I had a feeling you probably weren't liking her as much anymore. My mother , who used to gush about her and the show, started being less enthusiastic a few months ago...first my mother was complaining about the way she treated some woman,,,an Aunt or something....then it was the way she treated Jon.... and lately it was how uptight she was with the kids, which you mentioned. I just listen to her comments, because I don't watch the show....but it does sound like a lot of people have gone from really liking her to not wanting to even watch her anymore.

[KaliChris]

Hopefully that's just gossip.

Personally, I love that show; cutest kids ever.

She does appear bitchy but then a lot of that is editing; makes for better television. That and the stress of two sets of multiples; six of them under age five, would bring out the worst in a couple at times.

I'm sure Jon isn't competely innocen either, like Sitter said.

Now if I had to live with her, I think she would drive me nuts. I'm very laid back.

[Danielle]

I agree with you there Kali the little kids get cuter as they get older I think my two favourites are Hannah and Aiden

[KaliChris]

Oh, I saw some blog out there that apparently she offended "Aunt Jodie", who I just loved on the show. Don't know how true it is, but they said the show was going to pay Jodie and Kevin for letting them into their home and their lives the way they do (not to mention the way she takes care of the kids a lot) and that Kate said no! :(

[MikeRotch]

I wouldn't assume that anything actually happened but I would not be surprised if they are having problems. I used to watch the show all the time but not as much anymore. Jon has often looked pretty miserable on the show. I have never liked Kate. Honestly she is so much like my mom at times that it's hard to sit and watch her.

I feel bad for the kids and I think it would be in their best interest to end the show or only do yearly updates. They all are super sweet and pretty well behaved compared to some little monsters you see on 'reality' shows. However..you can see the effects of Kate in them. They have their tantrums and issues over the smallest little things like dirt. Madi is so much like Kate that it's sad..not to mention she seems to be the one everybody bad mouths.

[Zippy]

I Watched it one time

It was when Kate was potty training a few of the brood and when one of them actually went poo...Kate grabbed the camera and got a shot of the poo in the potty...with the happy kid showing it off.

NOW I wanna know ...she Kate gonna be showing that to the kids first B/F or G/F when they bring them home to meet mom and dad?

I wonder how much they are setting aside each month for therapy for the kids?

[NYSitter]

They are pretty well-behaved kids but the one twin, Madie seems to have some problems. She cries or throws tantrums about a lot of little things. Cara seems to have a much happier diposition. I do think Madie is very much like her Mother

Maybe it is time for them to stop being filmed all the time and just live like other normal kids. That would be a hit on the pocketbook tho. I am sure they would not have been able to afford that house they have if it weren't for the show.

I agree that editing can make things look much different than they are, but even then I think Kate has a very dominate personality and doesn't get along with a lot of people.

I think this week is the last show of this season. It makes me wonder if this thing with Jon was a setup to get people to come back to watch in the fall because they will be wondering if all is well or he is there or whatever.

[NYSitter]

I bumped this up because there was an article in my In Touch magazine about this yesterday. It said he has been spending a lot of time at his Mother's house and has been seen out in the bars with friends frequently. It said that supposedly he was there to help take care of an injured family member. It also said that since the first of February he has spent almost no time at home with Kate and the kids and that he was overheard saying "There might be a divorce" and that he has had more fun than anything else he has done in a long time. It did show some pics of him both with Kate and the kids and out partying. But........ this is a gossip magazine and who knows where they get their info from.

I hope they get some counseling. Those kids obviously love their Dad and I hate to see these kinds of things happen to the kids if there is any possible way to fix it. They need him although I have seen him get very impatient with them at times also. Who wouldn't with that many?

She needs some real help with her interpersonal skills. As far as being obsessive about dirt and keeping the kids and the house clean, I lived with a Mom like that. So organized that you almost had a scheduled time to poop. LOL. All it did for me was to make me more laid back about some things. I like a picked up, de-cluttered house but I am not paranoid about it. I always wanted our kids to think of it as a home, not a house and that is the way I felt about my house when I was a kid. I was never told that I couldnt have friends, but I was always afraid that someone would mess up something and then I would see that "look" and the cleaning supplies would come out. You never could just clean up spots, it had to be the whole darn room. Life is too short for that!!

[KaliChris]

I'm with you on that, Sitter. I like a house to be reasonably clean, but I also want to be able to live in my own house and I wanted that for my son too when he was growing up. My mom kept our house clean but she didn't freak out over a little dirt and we were allowed to be kids. We just had certain areas we were not allowed to play in or get dirty, and that was the living room and formal dining room. Otherwise, we had the run of the house.

[NYSitter]

In thinking back I probably was a little more obsessed than I needed to be about their bedrooms. We always lived in a two-story house and their rooms had doors, but I had a thing about beds being made and clothes being picked up. Part of it was that I felt that clothes were too expensive to be misused.

My daughter-in-law keeps a very nice home but the kids bedrooms were felt to be "their space" and most of the time you literally could not wak through without stepping on something. Of course, they knew right where everything was. I guess I could have hit a more happy medium about that.

[Scoops]

I am just amazed that Kate even has time to be so obsessive about neatness, etc ...I mean wow...if I had that many kids, my time would just be totally consumed with their activities and making sure they had what they needed. It would probably be a controlled chaos for me...but I know it wouldn't be squeaky clean. heck,,.,,I have only one kid and I am pretty relaxed about things now. I am neat/orderly but perfection is not a priority. which is a switch to how I was pre-Jake.

[Jules]

I've never seen the show......but you'd think...with him being in the public spotlight like he is, he'd be more careful. Not that I'm condoning what he did...I am not....he's just stupid, if you ask me....

[NYSitter]

Maybe he was not being careful on purpose. He might have really wanted Kate to see what he was doing. Sort of like shock therapy.

He probably cannot talk to her about anything, she would just talk over him, so he had to resort to showing her. Like the old saying "A picture is worth more than a thousand words".

Jon and Kate Set The Record Straight
by Brett Singer Apr 8th 2009 5:00AM


In real life, if a couple is having marital problems, they might seek help from a counselor. Or friends. Or just take some time to talk. But in the world of reality TV, they call their publicist.

Jon and Kate Gosselin want people to know that things are fine at home. Well, mostly fine. In an interview with Ladies' Home Journal, Jon says that he now spends his "whole life counting to eight." PopEater gives us some other highlights: Kate does most of the talking, telling us that their TV show "is the realest reality show there is. You get the good, the bad and the ugly," and she wouldn't go back to the way things were before they were on the air. She says that the family thinks of the show as "our family job, one that lets us stay home together."

And of course, part of peeking into someone else's life is hypothesizing how we might do things differently or better, because it's always easy to imagine what you would do in someone else's shoes.(Note: Please disable your pop-up blocker)
Kate Gosselin of Jon and Kate Plus 8
Do you ever wonder what life would be like if you had one more child? How about two more? How about SIX more?

Four years ago, Jon and Kate Gosselin went from being parents of two to parents of eight, and their lives have never been the same.


Today we all have a window into that life on TLC's Jon and Kate Plus 8. And of course, part of peeking into someone else's life is hypothesizing how we might do things differently or better, because it's always easy to imagine what you would do in someone else's shoes.

What is harder to imagine is what it would really be like to walk in those other shoes -- what's it like to wake up every morning and be Kate Gosselin? ParentDish had a chance to ask her just that recently.


In a normal week, the Gosselins have a television crew in their house about half the time, which is a lot, if you think about it. And while they will occasionally opt out of filming specific moments with their kids, the Gosselins have no editorial control over the show -- what you see is what you get, packaged by a team of folks at Discovery and TLC. But, Kate says, this is reality TV, and it accurately reflects life at the Gosselin house; nothing is pre-planned or made up. "We don't have time to memorize scripts," she jokes.

I believe that.

"We set out to show the truth," Kate says, "I couldn't watch it if it weren't true." What you see, in every televised moment, is precisely what is happening -- no stage directions or do-overs. This is life at the Gosselin house.


Kate Gosselin has gotten quite a bit of flak, both from the media and from viewers, for the way she treats her husband; the two are often shown bickering during the show. Kate says the criticisms don't bother her; she doesn't Google herself or make a practice of reading about herself on or off line. "Everyone has an opinion," she says, "and I'm only paying attention to my own." But she does admit that the way the show is edited affects how people see her family and her marriage. "If Jon and I have three spats over a two day period, they're going to edit it to make it look like those happened in the 22 minute period." The show is just a small slice of her family's life, after all.


Kate is clearly focused not on what goes on outside her family but on her children. Her goal, she says, is to treat each child like an only child -- a hard thing to do when you're the mom of eight. "I hold myself to a very high standard," she says. At the same time, though, she's not trying to be perfect, or even to appear perfect to viewers of the show. She's just living her life.

And yes, she's living it with television cameras in her house, but it's still her real life. Kate says that while the experience of being on television has changed her life, it hasn't changed who she is. She says the same about having eight children -- "It's hard to live through what we have lived through and not change. We are the same -- it's how people treat us" that is different.

One of the hardest things about her family, Kate says, is the noise; there are days when the older girls, Cara and Mady, come home from school and their reports about what they have done are drowned out by the noise of the sextuplets. More than anything, she says, she longs for peace and quiet -- otherwise, she would not change a thing about her life.

Getty Images

Kate finds the humor in her life -- recently, she partnered with P&G to help promote some of their brands, including Bounty paper towels, which she refers to as "my weapon of choice." She also laughs about the end of nap time at the Gosselin house; the sextuplets are four now and no one, Kate says, naps any more. But it's a rare night that the family gets through dinner without someone dozing off at the table. Recently, Jon said, "I think we can kiss goodbye ever having a family dinner again." A good night, Kate said, is when the kids push their plates out of the way before they fall asleep.

You have to laugh about that, and Kate Gosselin does.

Getty Images

The Gosselins have a strong faith in God; they are often seen on the show wearing t-shirts with scripture on them and attending church. But despite the fact that the show doesn't highlight their faith, the Gosselins see it as an opportunity to share what they believe. Their website, The Gosselin 10, includes prayers and devotionals, and Jon and Kate travel around speaking to various churches and groups about their life and faith. The show, Kate says, has given them this opportunity to share what they believe.

Amazon.com

And for the Gosselins, being on television is about opportunity, not fame. The show has opened a variety of doors for them; Kate and Jon both work from home, which makes their life as parnents of eight more manageable. But it's not easy by any means -- there are days, Kate says, when she and Jon work until midnight.

Kate has three pieces of advice for other parents. "Every morning, before my feet hit the floor," she says, "I pray for strength, just enough to get through that day." She reminds parents that a sense of humor can get you through nearly everything -- laugh, she says, don't cry. And finally, the most important lesson of all: "Always remember that bedtime comes, every single day."

sixgosselins.com






But what people really want to know is what the heck was up with those photos of Jon playing beer pong with college girls. Jon calls those ladies "fans" and tells Ladies' Home Journal that he is "not perfect. This struggle has definitely put some tension in our marriage." Bottom line for us, he says: "I never cheated on Kate. Kate and I are together."

When you put your life on display, you open yourself up to being judged. And judging by the number of comments on the thousands of blog posts that the Gosselins generate, people seem fascinated by this family, and have very strong opinions about them as well. Here on ParentDish, the over 400 comments on this post range from digs at Kate ("I HATE yes HATE the way Kate treats Jon. She treats him as if he is one of her kids") to digs at Jon ("You are suggesting and condoning a man to cheat on his wife? What kind of people are you?") and even outright denial ("If...you look at that picture of 'Jon' with those two girls at that party, you can see that he is not Jon Gosselin").

No matter what you think of the couple, all of this controversy seems to be translating into higher ratings. In fact, the recent season finale of "Jon & Kate Plus 8" garnered the biggest numbers ever for the show. So while all of this nonsense is probably not good for their marriage, it's clearly good for the bottom line.

What do you think? Will Jon and Kate Gosselin work things out? Or are they done?

These two paragraphs say it all for me. I've never seen the show, but am thinking about watching it. I have four children, I couldn't imagine have double what I have now...I'd like to get it from a different perspective.....it could be so much worse. And I can't imagine the laundry!

You could come be mommy at our house for a day. lol You could have 7 kids from 2 months to 20 plus at least 5 friends over at any time. The laundry in the house is never done. My mom gets so upset because she will wash and then somebody takes a shower or changes and she can't stand to see it not washed. She will harass others about whether they plan to change so she can make another load. And you can't even say you will do it yourself later.
As soon as you think one room is clean and move to another somebody is messing things up again. Certain rooms are completely off limits unless a parent is there.
Our groceries are like $400-$500 a week.
We get like 30 minutes of mom time a day which is more like no time. Unless you are gushing blood don't expect full attention on you ever.
Anyway it's beyond loud and chaotic from about 5am until 9pm.
I think my youngest brother alone would have women everywhere running for a hysterectomy.

[Unregigirl]

wow Mike.. my home used to be like that too..

I think Jon is LUCKY to be with Kate. And he better shape up.

I saw the coupon episode and thought to myself, that I have acted like that many times in my life.. and I am not a monster.

[Jules]

I try to give each of my children my time......for instance....the youngest is 4, and she gets the biggest kick out of "helping mommy" with the laundry. We'll be in the closet rounding up the clothes, and she'll help me carry the basket to the laundry room. She'll stand there and say, "Throw this in, Mommy?" and I"ll say "yes, sweet heart" and she'll help me do that. When it's done, she'll help me throw the stuff in the dryer, and she'll go get her stool and push the "on" buttong for me.

The 6 year old needs to be read to every night (school requirement? I'd do it anyway) so that's his and my alone time together....

The 10 year old and 11 year old help me with dinner and the dishes afterwards, and we talk about school, their friends, etc....

Wed March 4 2009 Beliefnet.com Dena Ross

Say it ain't so! Star Magazine is reporting that Jon Gosselin, star of the hit TLC reality show, "Jon & Kate Plus 8" may be cheating on his wife.

According to the Magazine, Jon--who along with Kate and the rest of his brood recently moved into a $1.3 million dollar mansion in Pennsylvania--recently crashed a party at Juniata College in nearby Huntington, PA and played beer pong with members of the women's volleyball team.

The following night he apparently went to a nearby sports bar, again with members of the women's volleyball team and allegedly made out with a number of them.

The Magazine quotes a witness at the bar as saying:

"He was dirty dancing with several of them, making out, kissing them on their necks and mouths. 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."

Jon is also said to be frequenting other bars close to his home, even spending Valentine's Day away from Kate. Supposedly, he's even tried to pick up women while out with his mother.

Star Magazine also features a screenshot of this Live Journal entry and photo of a very drunk-looking Jon at a bar with two girls.

I must say, this all really breaks my heart. I recently interviewed Kate Gosselin and although she may come across as irritable on the show at times--her response to my asking her for a reason for this was, "Walk a day in my shoes and you'd be irritable too" which I completely respect -- she was a very kind throughout our phone conversation. I know some will speculate that the stresses of raising such a big family may be causing a strain on Jon and Kate's marriage, but I hope that the couple's strong Christian faith gets them through all of this--whether it's true or all just nasty rumors.

She needs some real help with her interpersonal skills. As far as being obsessive about dirt and keeping the kids and the house clean, I lived with a Mom like that. So organized that you almost had a scheduled time to poop. LOL.

I am not obsessive about cleaning but prefer it neat.

Now when company comes or I am hosting something the house is spic and span.

If I had a TV crew in I imagine I may have the possibility of turning into a complete neat freak!

If the cameras are rolling and this is being shown I would want things as clean as possible at all times. lol
I would probably hire help actually.
