Kate Gosselin — the unsympathetic nag of a mom and wife on reality show Jon & Kate Plus 8 — and her terrible hair visited Larry King to talk about those rumors that her husband Jon is chasing some really young tail.
Since Jon is nowhere to be seen in this whole scandal, Kate’s interview has a distinct “let me micromanage your fetid mess” flavor, but here are just a few highlights for your reading pleasure:
“Well, this is a situation where, you have to understand, we are a couple, we are a family who didn’t set out to live, you know, the celebrity lifestyle. We are living our lives like a normal family. Cameras come in and film us. And that, to the world — to the public, makes us celebrities. I do not like that word.
“I am not a celebrity…” she added. “I am a mom and a wife. And I feel that Jon is having difficult times realizing that, you know, you can’t go to the grocery store without people whipping out their cell phones, calling everyone they know and taking pictures of you. He is dealing very poorly with it.”
She added, “And I feel like these, you know, things are making him realize, oh, my gosh, I cannot go anywhere without everyone knowing…”
Despite her drama being unfolded in the public, she said is not sorry she signed up for their TLC show, for which she earns an estimated $50,000-$75,000 per episode.
Of course she’s not. Are you kidding? TLC bought her family 6,200 square feet worth of brand spanking new mansion, threw them a lavish vow renewal ceremony in Hawaii last summer, and pays her and Jon more than they could ever earn working jobs outside of showbiz. I don’t see her giving all that up, so I do believe that right there means she and Jon signed up for celebrity status.

Oh, great googlymooglies. This woman makes herself look more and more like a full-body case of vagina dentata every time she shows up in public. JON is dealing poorly? Does she not realize that 95% of the WORLD, including bushmen in the Kalahari (hee) are shaking their heads and sympathizing with the poorly-dealing-but-good-Lord-who-wouldn’t-be Jon?
How one sperm, let alone multiple cells, ever found their way past those razors to fertilize your obviously heavily-fortified and armed-to-the-gills eggs, totally mystifies me. Had to be the reproductive equivalent of taking Iwo Jima.
Shut up, Kate. Shut up again. Some more.
A 6200 square foot house? $75,000 an episode? Wow. Suddenly that bitch doesn’t look so bad. I take back every mean thing I ever said about that woman. If John leaves you Kate, I’ll be here to help you pick up the pieces.
Call me!
**Does that phone thing with thumb and pinkie**
It’s possible, Beige, that Jon has never had to deal with the teeth. All eight of her kids were conceived via intrauterine insemination.
Beige, good point. Pasta, I think living with Madonna would be more fun than this wretch.
And another thing that bothers me about this harpy is the fact that she is speaking for her husband, and about him in a way that just isn’t right. Maybe my husband and I are the weird ones, but we don’t share each others flaws with people and make each other look like asses in front of our friends. Yet, she’s going on television and talking about him as though he were five years old.
Maybe I’m just being old fashioned, or do not really want to wrap my head around the whole reality television crap, but I would think that if I badmouthed my husband, I would look like as big a douche for being with a douche.
Just a thought.
Madonna, Kate, I’d pretty much whore myself out to the first wealthy woman that’d be willing to support me. They don’t have to be even half as attractive me since that’s impossible anyway.
As someone who loves to micromanage everything…because it is always done correctly when it is done my way. I can see why she she likes things done in a certain way. That said, I am sure the production crew make her look a tad more shrewish than she really is. Even I don’t come across that bad.
I hear Katie Price is single now, Pasta.
@Chronic, you and are on the same page. I haven’t even watched this show but I’ve seen the commercials where she is yelling at him, rolling her eyes at him and belittling him. This was all before the alleged affair. (You know, the one that includes video of him leaving his alleged girlfriend’s apartment and having his alleged girlfriend sunbathing on his lawn while the wife was out of town. Allegedly.)Interesting side note, one of my therapist friends told me the biggest indicator that a marriage isn’t going to make it is eye rolling. It shows a deep lack of respect, an unwillingness to communicate openly and honestly with your partner as well as a refusal to engage in meaningful problem solving. Sounds pretty much like what I have seen of Kate.
Which isn’t to say cheating is acceptable but, man, she is a piece of work.
@Holly – thank you for addressing her hair. Again, never watched the show but the hair has a life of it’s own. Who does that to themselves? What is the deal with that crazy spray in the back?
“because it is always done correctly when it is done my way.”
Even I don’t come across that bad.
No not at all!
I didn’t know who Katie Price was so I Googled her.
It’s a Deal.
Thanks, Queen Bee. I was wondering if I was the only one seeing this. I havne’t watched the show and probably never will, but when you do belittle the person meant to be your partner (eye rolling is beyond rude, especially if you are doing it to your freakin’ spouse), in private, but more so in public, then there’s nothing there. The respect is gone. If you have no respect for the person you share your bed with each night, you have nothing.
Cheating is never acceptable. I agree. But people like her really drive others to it don’t they?
Her hair is three spritzes away from a Flock of Seagulls reunion.
Beige – you rock!
And $75,000/episode. Cry me a river! Must be nice to be able to make that much. Especially when the rest of us make half of that, in one year!!!
And not signing up to be a celebrity? What about signing a contract to exploit your kids, your FAMILY, on TV. Great googyemooglies is right.
Reminds me of the new country song out about marrying for money, not for looks the next time around.
Chronic, Katie Price and Peter Never-Can-Remember-His-Last-Name split? But I thought theirs was a love that opened up a whole new world. That is truly devastating.

(Warning: video is NSFW because you will either be laughing too hard or making gag noises while trying to exit YouTube as quickly as possible.)
MC Mom, they split. It was announced today. And Pasta – I heard that Vanessa Hudgens told Zefron that she wants to see other guys. She is young, dumb and rich. I think you are in!
Thanks, y’all.
And ANOTHER thing, which CM pretty much covered, but if I don’t address this my head will explode. She IS a douche for being with someone she portrays as a douche.
She may think everyone’s watching her, all “Isn’t she cute? Isn’t she FEISTY?” As if. Unborn MENNONITES are rolling their eyes at her, because bitchery doesn’t get any more nickel-plated than that, and because good luck finding a replacement hubby, Badly-Coiffed Borgia, because you have eight kids, and a horrible attitude, hair that looks like it was done with an Oster Fusion, and a terrible attitude, and did I mention the attitude, because OH SWEET MARY. Every man within a ten-mile radius of this woman is stocking up on cups just because she might go for a walk today, and her basilisk goolie-withering gaze might fall on them.
“I didn’t know who Katie Price was so I Googled her.”
Yeah, I went to Britain a few years ago and I was like, who the hell IS this girl?
If you’ve got that many kids and they’re all within only a few years of each other, you’ve got to consciously devote time and effort to maintaining your marriage. I bet she’s so used to correcting and nagging the kids that it hasn’t really struck her that that’s not the way you should act towards your husband.
I had that same haircut in 1988!!
NICE. HAIR. i was just thinking “i’m sure she makes enough, go get your damn hair done!!’
Two words………….Trailer Trash.
In Pasta’s defense, I was always told to marry rich, too.
Well, MC Mom, thank you “so” much (gag, cough, choke) for that video link, and the warning. I’ve never really heard of this pair until reading here.
I think that video needs an entirely different song. My first thoughts would be anything from Tiny Tim. I suppose we could start with Tiptoe Through the Tulips and see how that works.
Beige – ROFLMAO at “Unborn Mennonites” – thanks.
I’ve never seen this show – well, I watched on accident for five minutes at a family member’s house before I had to go vomit – but I think they both suck. Way to whore out your children and then pretend you aren’t celebrities and don’t like the attention. Kate was whining to somebody (read it on People am now trying to forget it) about how she doesn’t know what to do now that the paps are invading the personal life of her friends (aka the security guy she is supposedly sleeping with) and my answer is “Well, you stupid bitch, maybe, um, I don’t know, CANCEL the show and stop whoring out your children?!?!”. I can’t wait for the THS: JK+8 Behind the Scenes to come out in about 2015…
“We are living our lives like a normal family.” Right. Of course you are, because the presence of video cameras has absolutely NO impact on how you behave. Good Lord, if I knew I had cameras filming me, I wouldn’t be acting half as bitchy as Kate. But that wouldn’t make for good TV viewing I guess.
Allow me to translate for you, Kate. “Oh, poor me. They call me a celebrity and I hate that word. Why would they call me a celebrity, just because I am on TV, with my spouse that I nag at all the time and my 8 kids. I mean, it’s not like they pay me. Wait. I mean, it’s not like they give me a new house. Damn! Or plastic surgery to repair the nuclear holocaust that I wreaked upon my stomach. Okay, they did that too. But, dammit, I’m not a celebrity!” Gag a maggot. I have more sympathy for the moths futilely banging their little mothy heads on the lamppost outside than I do for this crazy lady.
Hey everyone, if they split, how long do you think it’ll be before Kate “I’m not a celebrity” Gosselin stars on “The Bachelorette”? I bet ABC could find 25 masoch…erm, hot guys to compete.
MC Mom…we need to talk…
That Link…it changed me, and before I could click off of youtube, I am pretty sure I no longer am sure about anything…
I couldn’t get through the first 30 seconds of that video without wanting to dig out my own eyes and eardrums with a grapefruit spoon. I would say it was retarded, but anything and everything retarded would start sending me (misspelled) hate mail for that kind of insult.
C’mon, Jrod, admit it – you would totally hit that. I’d hate to think I could change you that dramatically with just one appalling Peter and Katie video.
That video truly scarred me. And did it ever do it well.
Beige, you are cracking me up. Now, there’s at least three days worth of stuff I have missed here on Deceiver. I may not have time to get through it all today being that I’m kinda busy, but I’ll get to it. I’m still choking on the new one on Sting and Trudy…
Perhaps Kate Gosselin is covering up for her husband’s attempts at cradle-robbing because her own behavior is less-than-stellar?

OK, so it’s US magazine and not a highly reputable source, but what the hey.
Maybe she should be raising her kids and minding her husband and her 24 acre estate instead of writing books and going on promotional tours. I hope her book doesn’t come out on audio-bad idea.
Wow, I guess we are the only ones who do not like her hair!
http://justjared.buzznet.com/2009/05/13/kate-gosselin-hair/
Hee. “Everybody wants my hair!”
Um. No. They just want to stop seeing it on YOU, Kate. Because it looks like a sheepdog raped a lawnmower.
I told my nurses aid months ago that if Kate lost John it would be her fault. It’s all about her. She’s a narcissistic! A perfectionist! And a know-it-all! And she humiliates John every chance she gets. I don’t know how John has stood it all this time. Poor little precious kids. She’s ungrateful and bitchy. And she has the nerve to run down Aunt Jodie on camera after she keeps 6 or 7 extra kids for her and tears up her house! If the little kids get gum that Aunt Jodie gave them on something just throw it away! She can afford it. Or would she rather pay $40 for someone else to keep her kids all day long?! To Kate, everybody loves her! And everybody loves her kids which I certainly love those kids!) but she is so full of herself that she can’t even love her husband who treats her like a queen. What man do you know who would bath 3 kids every night and wash theiur hair much less 8 OF THEM and serve their food and do all the other things Jon does for her and the kids?! Put up beds, take down beds, dress the kids, put on 8 pairs of shoes, take them to the potty, etc?! NO ONE! That’s who. I’ve watched this show for two or three years, and if it’s anyone’s fault, it is Kate’s fault. If anyone is the train wreck, it’s her. But the perfect Kate doesn’t know it. Poor Jon! She’ll probably turn his kinds against him and that is the worst tragedy of all!
