Gosselin Kids Tell Classmates Santa Doesn’t Exist; Jon and Kate Receive Angry Phone Calls

First the rage issues and now this. Only six years old, the Gosselin sextuplets are accused of playing Grinch and spoiling Christmas at school. “The kids don’t believe in Santa Claus, and they’re telling other kids at school that there is no Santa Claus,” a close friend of the family said. Children as young as six were told that “your parents are lying to you,” causing Kate and Jon Gosselin to receive calls from stunned parents. Just because Kate’s hair is whack doesn’t mean you have to out Santa . “Jon has received angry phone calls from parents because the children actually told others that ‘your parents are lying to you,'” the insider said. Hey, at least the dude’s got a job now … cut him some slack. Denying a report that two of her eight children were expelled from school, even though they were Kate this week admitted their anger issues. The Kate Plus 8 star revealed that she and the school “mutually agreed” to take the pair out of school, and they’re studying with a private tutor. While no one’s saying which of the Gosselin kids spilled the ‘Santa secret’, the confidant revealed that they were told to go along with it now. “The kids are too smart at this point, but they are sweet about it and go along with it… and the Easter Bunny too,” said the family source. How festive. Wonder if they leave out moldy food for Santa. Whether they believe in Santa or not, it won’t be stop the gorgeous kids from having a Merry Christmas at both their mom and dad’s homes. “Kate gets even years and Jon gets odd years. So this year, Kate has the kids on Christmas Day and Jon will have them on Christmas Eve.” “The kids will probably also get to open presents on Christmas Eve if Jon’s mother says that’s the plan. His mom has the final word on that.” That explains so much.

Karenna Gore and Drew Schiff: Separated

June is not a good month for marriage if your last name is Gore. One week after news of an Al and Tipper Gore divorce shocked the political world, we’ve now learned that one of their children’s marriage is on the rocks. Oldest daughter Karenna Gore Schiff has split from her husband of 12 years, Drew Schiff. However, a close family source says “they are not divorced.” Karenna, 36, and Drew, 44, “have been separated for a couple of months and in marriage counseling. It’s amicable and they are in therapy together.” Karenna Gore married Drew Schiff in the late 1990s . The couple, who live in New York City, have three children: Wyatt, 10, Anna, 8, and Oscar, 3. Drew Schiff works for a biotech investment company. Although Karenna Gore is working on a documentary project, she is primarily “being a mom,” the Schiff family friend tells the New York Daily News . Karenna is looking to her parents for support in these times. “Both Al and Tipper have been to New York to help Karenna with the kids since her separation,” said the family friend. “Like all families, they rally.” Kalee Kreider, a spokeswoman for the former vice president, told People that “Neither the Gores nor the Schiffs plan to comment” on the subject.
