Kate Gosselin is currently living in a reality-free zone in two ways: She is in between television shows for the time being, and she’s claiming her eight kids are devastated that she is no longer exploiting them.
“They cried in the van on the way home from school the other day. I finally admitted to them, they kept asking, ‘Where’s the camera crew? Where’s the camera crew? We miss them.’ And I said, ‘Our show is over.’ …Eight sobbing kids driving home from school,” Kate, 34, says on Barbara Walters’ The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2009, airing Wednesday on ABC.
You hear that, America? You made adorable children cry by taking away their moral mess of a TV show! For shame!
Or, more probably, it’s a complete fabrication by Kate now that her cash cow has run dry and her husband has run off with Michael Lohan and a raging case of gonorrhea.
What the hell happened to “our goal is to do the very best for our children and that will be done as privately as possible”? Or “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”?
I also take issue with Kate’s designation as one of the 10 Most Fascinating People of 2009, Barbara Walters. She was tabloid fodder from April until sometime in August. And really, you picked her and Glenn Beck over Sully Sullenberger?

The camera crews probably took better care of them and were a lot nicer than her.
Those poor little bastards. Just think of the tragic life as normal human beings they will now have to live?
Fame is fleeting; obscurity lasts a life time. The desire to always be famous is what got us Heidi and Spencer.
“The kids are crying about where the camera crews are?” GOOD! I hope the kids revolt and 86 their psycho parents.
“they kept asking, ‘Where’s the camera crew? Where’s the camera crew? We miss them.’…”
Awww, tell the truth, woman! They really said, “Where’s the camera crew? Where’s the camera crew? We miss them BECAUSE THEY ACTUALLY PAID ATTENTION TO US, YOU AND DADDY NEVER DID!”
Remember this when your kids are like 15, addicted to crack and making porn movies to jump start their “acting careers” again.
Smart money says Dooflotchie is right. Those camera crews were probably the closest thing to normal people those kids ever saw. Mom stomps around looking like a mortally aggrieved dandelion; Dad’s a doughy-faced whoredog. Both parents are so busy Jon-Beneting out their litter to be bothered with anything resembling a healthy family life.
She’s only 34? Her neck looks about 50.
So, I’ve tried to ignore those two as much as possible, and haven’t ever seen the kids. I was under the impression they were younger, so when she said they were all in school, I googled. And found this gem of a website, which they seem to have forgotten to take down: http://www.sixgosselins.com/
Wow. I feel so bad for the kids. It would have been better to never have started the whole reality show. I wonder how the kids will turn out in a few months.

I too take issue on her being one of the people Walters decided to name. She is a fame whore and that is all. I really feel for the kids. They have zero chance of living a normal life.
LOL, that’s what I was thinking about her neck.
From the little that I’ve seen of these kids, via media coverage of show, they have inherited her bossy personality, so I’d guess that all eight kids cry all the way home every day if they don’t get their way. :-p
Could this be listed as the Stockholm Syndrome??
I’m not the only poerson on this site or others to notice it was the kids saying they missed the crews, not the cameras (though on that part, who knows?) They missed the people who were probably the most normal adults in their twisted little lives. Kids get attached to people easily and probably don’t fully comprehend their suddenly leaving them. They all need therapy. Lots of it.
I freely admit I am probably the sole visitor who liked that show.
In retrospect it was obvious Kate was the brains of the operation and her dictatorial behavior was absolutely necessary to contain Jon’s inner douchebag self.
Jon probably suffers from Tiger Woods’ Syndrome – a fairly anonymous and awkward teenager with deep insecurities and little interaction with women is thrust into a spot of some international acclaim and fortune only after he’s married and contractually unable to live out his teenage fantasies with the nubile opportunities now presented to him.
Strangely enough, both Tiger and Jon philandered on their respective extremely and somewhat attractive wives with women who are significantly less attractive than their wives.
Men? What’s up with that?
Apparently it all looks alike in the dark, FS.
And maybe the allure–make that “allure”–is analogous to wanting pizza delivered rather than taking the time and effort to grill a steak.
It must just kill John that Kate was named a fascinating person, and he wasn’t.
Not that I find her fascinating at all, but you know what I mean.
Right?
FS – There’s been a report the Tiger Woods was into group sex and, according to one of his ladies (the $60K/night “escort”), had “amazing stamina”.
So maybe his wife wasn’t into that scene and he went looking for women who would fulfill that reality.
These poor kids have had cameras in their faces since they were born. It’s no wonder that they feel that having a camera crew around is normal. Kate once said the kids loved them. They obviously became more like family to them than their own parents. Also, I think the way she handled it with the kids was cruel. No wonder they were all sobbing in the car when she yanked the rug out from under them without notice. Don’t you think it would have been a good idea to sit them down & talk to them when it happened, explaining the situation in terms the kids could understand rather than wait for them to ask? Couldn’t the crew have said goodbye at the end of filming, KNOWING the show was going to end? “Our show is over.” is no way to handle it. It was just plain mean and Kate obviously thrives on drama or else she would have handled it like a PARENT not an EXECUTIVE PRODUCER.
I wouldn’t find Jon OR Kate “fascinating” if they were flayed and rolled in Cheerios.
