    Riight, that's all bs.
    Who would buy sunglasses branded by a house mum and who would buy snowboard stuff from a lecherous man?

    Who on earth would want her cookbooks. She gives her kids SNACKS for lunch. Anyone can do that. A book about mealtime memories?!? Like what,
    "Forget about Daddy french fries"
    "Smile for camera shakes"
    "Don't embarrass Mommy muffins"
    "Be good to the bodyguard burgers"
    Thanks anyway, I would rather my children and grandchildren have real memories. NOt one from someone who would play her so-called viewing audience into believing everything is OK when the whole marriage is a sham and the money is being made on the backs of the children. She is just interested in the money. I don't think I'll be buying anything she endorses anytime soon.

    Has anyone noticed how distant and phony Kate appears this year. Comparing her to the first years of the show she was real in the beginning. She seems pressed to come up with some clever lines now when before it was more natural. Her distance to Jon is understood, if he needs that much free time from his family then maybe he needs to take a long look in the mirror. You signed up for this when you decided to have fertility treatment to have twins then again to have six more! At such a young age. Kate and Jon did not give themselves ample time to enjoy their 20's and now in their 30's they want freedom back. You can't have it. You have 8 children. They are entitled to your attention and any free time you have. The trips, the weekenders, booksignings, etc. are not part of your parenting skills. I wish I could leave my kids with 'tv handlers' and fly off for the weekend. I can't. Really none of us can. Jon and Kate better get real again or else this is going to blow up real big!

    I don't understand what is wrong with you people. Leave them alone. You are all pathetic.

    Kat's ambitions would be okay if she showed an attitude of graciousness and appreciation, but her rudeness and image of the world owes her a living has made her very unlikeable. The show should be cancelled.

    She is a marketing nightmare. Nobody wants a Gosselin name attached to any product right now. As a matter of fact, Kate is going to Canada in October for a "Healthy Kids Tour" because nobody in America can stand her!

    Denise is right. I wonder if Beth makes any money on that book? Also, I know why Aunt Jody was booted from the show, but why was Beth and her husband? Anybody know?

    I really don't see the fascination with these people. I hope her ghost writers are getting paid well to have their skills attributed to someone else. If you've ever heard her speak, you'd be hard pressed to believe she could write a book. Then again, I heard the latest one is just a glorified scrapbook so maybe she did "write" it. Whatever. I know I will not be buying any "Kate Gosselin" sunglasses or her slacker hubby's snowboards. They're making more than enough money exploiting their kids.

    Wow....people are pretty hard to judge...If I had eight children I would be doing the same thing....ok but yeah there marriage fell apart...half of the united states has been through a divorce big deal. She is providing for her kids and I will buy her products....Everyone needs to back down and realize this is there life not yours....so go and get one of your own and stop worrying about this one..

    Leave them alone it was and still will be a great reality TV show. Nearly every show on TV at the moment is reality TV. This was and stillis a great one .Those kids all of them in their own special way are fantastic even Mady when she is having a meltdown. Under that meltdown surely you can all see she has a heart of gold. In the clips when all there is is pictures rolling with no sound she is like a little mother hen ensuring all her little siblings are safe and near her. You perfect parents perfect people out hter just sit back and tell me what each and every one of you would be like with 8 kids. Swap your lives for Kates and see how u would cope. I think under the circumstances she has done a fantastic job with those kids. Jon also in his own right has done a great job, he probably could have stood up for himself a bit more and not come across so woosy and henpecked all the time, but no these were decisions he made for whatever reason he chose not to stick up for himself. Good luck

    I didnt quite finish what i was saying before.There were times when Jon stood up for himself and asked Kate not to yell or scream at him across the room or whatever, she took that on board and put her hands either side of his face and said gee i am sorry sweetheart.They were very much in love at the beginning and i wish they could find that love again, If they dont i for 1 will still watch the show coz i love the kids i think they are adorable and whether u love or hate Kate i think she is a wonderful mom to her 8 children. All of you people out there that think you know wot is best for everyone think about how u yourselves would deal with and cope with 8 kids plus Jon. He needed to be asked and guided every step of the way with the kids. It did not seem to come naturally to him. Yes Kate was a bit phobic about a lot of stuff and could have relaxed on a lot of things but give these people a break they are a family who need understanding & luv the same luv we had 4 them in the beginning

    Those sunglasses are hot. I ordered a pair from s4optics.com last month. My friend just told me that she tried to order the KAte Gosselin sunglasses but they have sold out. She says you have to be on a waiting list now because they run out so fast.
