So it seems the tabloids are at it again, hunting down Jon and making him look like a regular man 'slut' while his wife is off promoting her newest book, which btw, I am disappointed in.
Read this article from US Magazine and you'll see that he was out with what he classifies a 'friend'. Is it true, he's cheating on Kate? I don't know and really I don't care.
I'm a fan of Jon and Kate plus 8. I started watching them primarily because they are from my home state of PA. They live in the area, we moved from in 2007, so that makes it even better to me. However, that is not the only reason why I watch them. I can relate to Kate in many ways.
I am far from the neat freak she is and I don't do schedules, though I do like to see a neat house and a do better on a schedule, but I relate to other areas of her life. Her yearning for kids, her need to follow through, especially when it comes to her husband and I think it's unfair on how people bash her all the time.
Remember the coupon incident? Remember how she could have saved money and she asked Jon for the receipt? Remember how she walked after him while he was trying to do something, asking him repeatedly for the receipt? I'm sure you all remember that, but do you remember Jon saying over and over and over again, that he didn't have the receipt? Do you remember where they did find the receipt that Jon swore he gave to Kate? In his wallet. Not many seem to remember that part of the show. Had she just left it go and not 'hounded' him for the receipt, they may not have gotten that money back. Yes, she may have gone too far, but I know from personal experience if I wouldn't follow my husband around I would forget about the receipt and so would he and we'd be out that bit of money.
Now onto the tabloids and the photographers and the stupid rumors. I know they live their lives pretty much in the public eye and good juicy gossip sells, but come on, leave them alone. They have children who go to school and have to deal with this backlash. They will be the ones that have to deal with daddy hanging out with another woman. They are the ones who will ultimately suffer in the long run. Sure Jon and Kate could back out of the spotlight, however do you see some of the other celebrities having their 'dirty laundry' aired? Do you think other famous couples are perfect? That they never go through things? Um, I've yet to meet a perfect couple. If you have, let me know.
Like I said, I lived in the area they are now living, I drove through Wernersville, several times a week on my way to work. I think it's funny that a quiet town like Wernersville has photographers staking out bars now and following around Jon. I also find it ridiculous.
Ok, I spoke my peace on this. Please feel free to speak yours too.

I agree. They are just people like everyone and we all do stupid things. The only difference is that we don't have cameras following our every move.
I don't know if they are really good or bad people as it's just a show to me and nothing I really care about. I just wish them, as I wish everyone, the best.
ok, I will speak up too. You say the tabloids and photographers should leave them alone , but that's not what Kate wants. Jon hates the publicity, and on the last show, Kate said she loves it. Jon wants to stop the show, Kate does not.
She has 8 children to raise, she should not be traipsing around the country thinking she is a movie star. She should be home. If she wanted the working life, why did she have 8 children ? Who is raising the children, just Jon ? Jon quit his job...is that so he can stay home with the kids 24/7 while Kate travels ? I'm sorry, I'm all for working moms, but Kate LOVES the spotlight, and I think it has become more important to her than her family is.
I do not like Kate, and yes I recall very clearly the coupon incident where she followed Jon around the house, yelling at him and publicly making a fool out of him. I also recall very clearly the toy store incident when she screamed at him, accomplishing her goal of making a fool of him, while she is the wonderful mom (in her own mind). It's her way of doing things, and if Jon treated her the way she treats him, there would be Hell to pay.
ahhhh, I feel better now. :)
i don't and never have watched this. *shrugs*
I don't watch the show, but I agree that it's ridiculous. Another time where the media is trying to create the news and not report it. And last time I checked, there were more important things to be reporting.
Like everyone else I have an opinion. But really, who cares about it. lol. What I think is horrible is how much trouble the tabloids go through to get 1 story about 1 family! And to think they live off no where near the hollywood life, yet they have photographers stalking them out! Like there isnt enough good gossip in Ny & California to go around.
summerdayz: I remember that incident too at ToyRUs and I also remember the episode where Kate admitted how horrible it was and how she apologized for it. She said it was her most embarassing moment.
As for Kate loving the spotlight, then let them follow her around, instead of Kate. You may also remember that Kate said this is her job, doing the book signings and promoting the book. I see nothing wrong with it, but then again I don't know just how much she has been away from her kids.
I think some of this is also a ploy from them and maybe the network to really spice up and get more people to watch their show.
Eh, either way, I'll still be stupid enough to watch the show and stupid enough to care about them, but in the end, I care more about the kids and what they will have to deal with in the end.
The few times I have seen this show I have come to the conclusion that Kate is a controlling bitch, & treats Jon like crap!! She's a total spazz & needs to relax!~!!!!!
I am with emf6874.
I like the show. I just don't like Kate. It wouldn't be surprising if Jon is or has cheated on her.

I love Jon and Kate and appreciate being able to view their children as they grow up. It takes a lot of patience to be in the public eye. I pay no atention to the tabloids about them. I watch their show, enjoy their kids. I have been attached to seeing them grow up. I have learned a lot about organization from Kate. Your right, there is no perfect person, or couple, or kids. I hope they let us view their life as much as possible. I look forward to seeing them all as teenagers! LOL
