Kate Gosselin SLAMS Jon Gosselin, Defends Kids’ Development in Blog Post

Kate Gosselin is TAKING IT to ex-husband Jon in a new blog post regarding his recent remarks to Oprah Winfrey about their children’s development. Her rebuttal to Jon’s interview is titled simply, “My Response.” And by reading it, it’s clearer than ever that these two are not on the same page . At all. Kate Gosselin Responds to Jon’s Comments About Kids Kate Gosselin, 38, said she found it “very heartbreaking” that her ex, 36, chose such a public forum, like TV, to discuss the progress of their children. “Because he has spoken negatively about our children, I feel I owe it to them to respond on their behalf,” she said, and went on to offer a different view. “These opinions are, in reality, value judgments made about our children and they’re based upon his limited visits with our children,” she wrote. “Each and every one of our children has met and continues to exceed all physical, mental and emotional developmental milestones throughout their lives.” Jon and Kate are parents to twins Cara and Mady, 13, and sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel, 9. The couple split in 2009. Speaking to Oprah, Jon pointed to children’s behavior as cause for concern, saying that “they have trust funds, and they’re taken care of educationally. Great.” “But developmentally, they have problems with their peers,” he said, blaming the effects of reality TV, “and they have problems with talking to other people.” Kate Gosselin had some strong words in response to that as well. “It’s also very normal in a family, especially a large family, to have a full range of personalities, abilities, talents, hobbies and struggles,” she added. “However, anyone who has personally met our children all [say] they are the most normal, pleasant, polite, loving and well adjusted children they have ever met.” Kate closed out her note by saying she wrote it so if their kids ever learned of these “untrue and hurtful statements,” they know their mom had their back: “I want to be able to point them to this statement so that they know that I publicly set the record 100% straight on this one, for their sake.” Choose your side :   Team Jon!

Poor Thangs: Jon Gosselin Says His 8 Kids Are Socially Challenged And Damaged From Growing Up On TV

Jon sure wasn’t singing this sob story when those checks were rolling in……. Jon Gosselin Says His Kids Are Damaged From Growing Up On Television Former “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ reality star Jon Gosselin is speaking out about the high price of “fame” that he says damaged his children and stifled their developmental skillset. via Radar Online Former reality TV star Jon Gosselin opens up about the negative aspects of putting his family in the spotlight, and says his eight children have problems developmentally — attributing it to growing up on TV, and RadarOnline.com has all the details. Kate Gosselin‘s ex filmed a segment with Oprah Winfrey‘s Where Are They Now? on OWN and told the talk show maven that Jon and Kate Plus 8 destroyed his marriage, his reputation, his career and his children. “I saw my kids not growing up normally, like I grew up, and having community. Yes, they got to travel the world, and yes, they got these fabulous things, and yes, they have trust funds, and they’re taken care of educationally. Great,” he said of his twin daughters Cara and Mady, 13, and the sextuplets Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Alexis, Joel and Leah, 9. “But developmentally, they have problems with their peers, and they have problems with talking to other people, and they have problems with wants and needs and manners and morals and what’s right and what’s wrong. I think more so than someone who grows up off TV.” Jon and Kate’s marriage crumbled while the public watched, and the father of eight says he gained an unfair reputation — and never cheated on Kate. Making the choice to have you children involved in reality tv always runs the risk of exposing them to things that could be potentially damaging at some point. The Gosselin’s had to be aware of this…..SMH.

Kate Gosselin Admits: I Made SO MANY Mistakes!

Once on top of the reality TV world, but now widely disliked and facing an uncertain future, Kate Gosselin appears to be dining on humble pie these days. “I’m living very carefully these days,” People’s new cover girl says. Kate Gosselin: Life After Reality TV Her new outlook comes two years after TLC canceled Kate Plus 8 , the reality show that made she and her eight children with ex Jon Gosselin famous. Two years before that, the couple’s marriage began to implode. It’s all been downhill since. Adding insult to financial injury, Kate Gosselin was also fired last fall from a blogging gig with bargain website CouponCabin. Been a rough stretch. She says she’s “piecing and patching” her income together these days, but that won’t work forever. “To not have a reliable income is scary,” she says. Kate, who famously (and relentlessly) nagged Jon Gosselin on the show that bared their names, admits her attitude may have gotten in her way. “I made so many mistakes, of course,” she laments. All she can do is look forward at this point, however. “It feels like a whole other lifetime ago,” she says. “And sometimes I don’t even remember much of it. Both when the babies were first born and during the divorce, I was on survival mode. I feel like I’ve lived two lifetimes already.” “I’m not the same person I was … I don’t even recognize her.” Let’s just say that can’t be a bad thing. In acknowledging her mistakes and describing her behavior with a sense of self-awareness, Gosselin seems to have turned over a new leaf, finally. Where she goes next, time will tell. But it’s a positive step. Still no apology or explanation regarding the reverse mullet hairstyle she made famous back in the day, but perhaps that’s to come in a future mea culpa.

Khloe Sends Thanks, Gushes Over Kim Kardashian Daughter

She is a new aunt – and she could not be more excited. A day after Kim Kardashian gave birth to her first child, Khloe Kardashian took to Twitter, expressing gratitude to fans… love for her niece… and a tease of the tabloid deal sure to come. “I can not even begin 2describe the miracle that is now apart of our family,” Khloe wrote. “Mommy/baby are healthy &resting. We appreciate all of the love.” She added that more details about Kim and Kanye West ‘s bundle of joy “will come when the time is right!” Or, you know, when the money is right. “Thank you all for understanding!” Khloe added in a subsequent Tweet. “We love you all dearly! Overwhelmed with love right now.” Numerous sources confirm that Kim is resting comfortably in the hospital, that Kanye was by her side during the birth and that everyone is healthy. It is unknown, however, whether Kris Jenner has seen her grandchild yet or if she has been too busy negotiating a deal with OK! Weekly.

Sarah Palin on Syria Conflict: Let Allah Sort it Out!

When it comes to the civil war in Syria, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says the U.S. should “Let Allah sort it out” until there is a stronger leader in the White House. Palin’s comments came in response to the Obama administration’s decision to provide armed support to the rebels fighting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. “We’re talking now more new interventions … militarily, where is our commander in chief?” Palin asked at the Faith and Freedom Coalition Conference. “I say until we know what we’re doing, until we have a commander in chief who knows what he’s doing, well, let these radical Islamic countries who aren’t even respecting human rights, where both sides slaughter each other as they scream over an arbitrary red line, ‘Allah Akbar,’ I say until we have someone who knows what they’re doing, I say let Allah sort it out.” Earlier this week, the White House announced it confirmed that the Assad’s regime has used chemical weapons in the fight against its own people. The Obama administration says it will provide more “direct support” to the Syrian opposition since the president’s “red line” has now been crossed. The White House said that Obama discussed the civil war in Syria with European leaders and it is expected to dominate the G-8 Summit in Northern Ireland. Palin warned the crowd of “tyranny” in government and railed against recent scandals involving the IRS and NSA, which have evoked 1984 comparisons. Calling Washington, D.C. “one hot mess,” Palin said Congress should put itself on “Cruz control, on Ted Cruz control … just for a week and let’s see where things go.” Cruz (R-TX) is a first-term U.S. Senator supported by Palin in 2012. And while she has often served as the butt of jokes on SNL , Sarah Palin joked about the amount of jokes and jobs for comedians she’s created over the years: “They should think of me as a friend. For a while there, I was providing more job security for the Tina Feys of the world and doing more for those employment numbers than Obama’s ever done.”

Ed Hardy: Jon Gosselin Killed My Brand!

Jon Gosselin’s association with Ed Hardy shirts personally torpedoed the entire once-popular brand, says none other than Ed Hardy himself. Call it the Midas touch, only the exact opposite. Shortly after splitting from Kate Gosselin in 2009, Jon became friends with Christian Audigier, who licensed Hardy’s art for shirts and other products. Audigier even entertained Jon and then-girlfriend Hailey Glassman in St. Tropez on his yacht … and that’s when it all started to go downhill for Hardy. Jon Gosselin was repeatedly spotted wearing Ed Hardy clothes, and that association was beyond toxic for the brand, Hardy told the New York Post . “That Jon Gosselin thing was the nail in the coffin,” Hardy said . “That’s what tanked it. Macy’s used to have a huge window display with Ed Hardy, and it filtered down and that’s why Macy’s dropped the brand.” Jon, a fan of the Ed Hardy brand who loved the stuff long before he was famous (or infamous), was even in talks for his own fashion line with Audigier. There was even talk of Jon or Hailey scoring their own fashion line! Jon’s repulsive powers were formidable, but Hardy, 68, puts equal if not more of the blame on Audigier, a “celebrity-obsessed” French businessman. “Christian worships celebrities so much, he will get next to anyone … if he could’ve gotten Charles Manson in a shirt, he would have,” Hardy said. The whole Jon-killed-my-entire-brand allegation is one of many interesting highlights of Ed Hardy’s new memoir, Wear your Dreams: My Life in Tattoos .

Adele and Simon Konecki Wedding: Coming Soon? Top Secret?

Is Adele planning a secret wedding to Simon Konecki? The couple, who recently welcomed 5-month-old son Angelo, are in the process of planning their nuptials. “She’s been planning it for a while,” says an insider. The resolutely private crooner’s nuptials will go down “in the summer or fall” and likely at her new home, another source told celebrity news magazine Us . Adele and Konecki, 38, moved from London to Brighton to be near his young daughter from a previous marriage, with whom Adele is “very close” as well. For the singer, 24, it’s all about motherhood (and wedding planning) these days, and music will take the back seat – even if it’s always a huge part of her: “Simon is the perfect partner and Angelo is just her life.” We wish them nothing but the best.

Kate Gosselin is always beefing with someone, and sure enough, she’s gotten involved in a new Twitter feud … with a man with the last name Gosselin. The reality star is demanding that she change it immediately. An irate Kate Tweeted recently at Carlos Gosselin: “@RealCGosselin it is illegal to impersonate people on twitter etc. please change your ID and email immediately. Thank you. @Support” Carlos Gosselin hit back at the reality show mom: “@Support hey can you tell Kate Gosselin to take accept that there are other people with the same last name. She may have her panties in a wad.” OH, IT’S ON NOW! Carlos continued, “So I woke up to this and laughed my ass. Not only that. But it made my whole morning complete. Let me put it up in a picture.” He added a photo of himself with the caption, “Love you mom.” He hasn’t changed his name or his email address, either. Kate is far from pleased with the situation, responding: “The per impersonating my child (@CGosselin) tweeted ‘love you mom’ 2me. Whether he really has last name or not, it’s impersonation w that tweet!” “And if it was meant as a joke to me, then I missed the joke – busy being a mom and am CONSTANTLY dealing w ppl impersonating my children! :/” Sure you are Kate.

Kate Gosselin Sort of Slams Kendra Wilkinson on Celebrity Wife Swap

Watching Kate Gosselin and Kendra Wilkinson trade lives for a day on Celebrity Wife Swap felt oddly like old times. You know, when they were on TV a lot. As a single mother of eight children, it was kind of a total cakewalk for Kate to slip into Kendra’s life – one child, a husband present, a full-time nanny even. Kate Gosselin on Celebrity Wife Swap Still, all Kate seemed to see were examples of how Kendra is not that great of a mother, and lazy to boot. She didn’t hold back at all about her experiences. “Imagine my surprise, then, when I arrived at your house and discovered you have one child. It was a very unique experience to sort of do nothing,” Kate said. Later, she told her CWS counterpart, “Reading your manual made me believe that you just let everybody else do everything because you don’t care.” This reduced Kendra to tears. Jeez, Kate, tell us how you really feel! Sure, a vintage Kate Gosselin meatloaf recipe feeds eight mouths, but she may want to sprinkle in a little compassion. Watch some clips of the duo above – on the show and discussing it on The View – and tell us if you think the former Mrs. Jon Gosselin is being too harsh.
