Kate Gosselin Attends Red Cross Gala

By IW Team Member

From Twitter

By Anya

Kate Gosselin attended the Red Ball Gala on Saturday, March 10th. The gala is held yearly and this year it had a great location — the Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia. The Red Cross describes the purpose of the event as follows:

 “All proceeds from the Red Ball will benefit the Southeastern Pennsylvania Chapter of the Red Cross and the operations of our one-of-a-kind Red Cross House recovery facility located in West Philadelphia. Red Cross House is a stable environment designed to help families find shelter and recover from a disaster by supporting their emotional, spiritual and physical needs.”

Kate looked stunning in a dress by designer Mac Duggal. The dress was black and lacy and short! Let’s just say the dress showed off Kate’s toned legs to perfection!

It certainly appears that the Red Cross went all out creating an entertaining and magical night for all who attended. Many of the top restaurants in Philadelphia shared their talents to make the event a culinary delight for all. In addition to live music and art, the event featured professional tarot readings – and Kate was seen getting a reading!

The Red Cross indicated how happy they were to have Kate as a guest. Today they tweeted the following:

“Thanks @Kateplusmy8 for attending #RedBall12 last night. You were very gracious and kind. We are grateful for your support.”

Kate thanked them back and said it was her pleasure to attend.

The only unpleasant part of Kate’s participation was an awkward encounter on Twitter with a Philadelphia gossip blogger by the name of @iPhillyChitChat. He started tweeting about Kate this morning and promised a big story and “a shot that’s gonna be seen around the world.” Kate apparently was alerted that he was talking about her on Twitter and sent him a few frank tweets indicating she felt he was taking away from the event’s importance and message by spreading gossip about her. The blogger apparently asked for a picture of Kate with bodyguard Steve Neild during the event and Kate refused to comply. She did give him a picture of just herself. So maybe he was a little bent out of shape about that? I’m personally think he is was just trying to promote himself. Understandable. Kate does have name recognition! @iPhillyChitChat  been tweeting that he will discuss both his huge scoop on Kate and Bravo’s Bethenny on Good Day Philadelphia on Monday morning. So — two reality TV divas for the price of one!?  We will see what he has to say.

In any case, Kate’s weekend ended on a positive note when she tweeted about a party she was planning for the kids on Sunday night. Chinese food, soda (a rare treat), sundaes and a movie were all on the menu. Kate seems happiest when she is planning special times for her kids.

    Ok Here is what he posted on the Philly Post http://blogs.phillymag.com/the_philly_post/2012/03/12/hughe-dillon-red-ball/
    .
    “Below: Kate Gosselin, of Kate Plus 8, was there, as it was Jon Gosselin’s weekend with the kids. I caught up with her as she was getting a tarot-card reading from Marilyn Sukonick-Zeff. Kate was really into the reading, and I later overheard her tell her boyfriend, er, bodyguard (as she barked at me), Steve, that she was still confused about her future. Seems she didn’t ask specific questions because she didn’t want the tarot-card reader to know who she was? The good thing was no one harassed her all night, as most people didn’t recognize her. When they did, she happily posed with them. She looked sexy in her short, mid-thigh cocktail party dress from Mac Duggal Couture.”

    These tweets were just made to promote the show. This is all too funny. I do think that Kate overreacted.

    I always said it was nothing but Kate calling me a liar poo her geez she hyped it up

  7. Mo says

    March 12, 2012 at 6:54 am

    He is full of crap. He tweeted the first time about the night of the event and HE was hyping it up. He got the haters in a frenzy. Kate’s reply to him did make it a bigger deal but iPhilly is the one who got everyone going to begin with.

  8. snickers says

    Looks like old Pholly is a big joke. The haters are going to be mad,no shot of Kate that tells anything. LMAO!

    Maybe Philly punked the haters. LMAO

  10. Deborah says

    March 12, 2012 at 7:06 am

    Mo’s right, I watched the whole thing unfold on twitter. Of course he was hypeing it up for his morning show and I do believe he already had knowledge of the hate in Gosselin land.
    I believe Kate overreacted to him like Pam said but I can’t blame her. He was baiting the haters and sure it was just for hits.

  11. Mo says

    March 12, 2012 at 7:09 am

    Kate may have overreacted but she did because she knew he was making crap up. And she was right. There was NOTHING…no shot seen around the world. His only picture was of Kate getting a reading. Big effing deal.

  12. snickers says

    March 12, 2012 at 7:14 am

    Oh my, the haters are calling him a liar. So glad that he has them on his twitter. They will go after him big time today. Kate may have overreacted, but look who has egg on his face today!

  13. Mo says

    March 12, 2012 at 7:23 am

    They are calling him a “tool” too. lmao

  14. Mo says

    March 12, 2012 at 7:25 am

    The haters are demanding he explain himself. Now she’s saying he was overly nervous and couldn’t live up to the hype that Kate created. LMAO

    What was the big Bethenny scoop? Nothing? I wonder if that morning show actually gave him money.

    March 12, 2012 at 7:29 am

    I’m glad Kate tweeted him. She told the truth and he couldn’t sell his story the way he wanted to.

    Now he is saying that he decided not to publish it….it was too invasive

    I can hardly see my keyboard to type, tears are streaming down my face. The dogs are scared to get to close to me or to leave the room. I can’t remember when I’ve laughed so hard.

    This is hilarious!!!

    March 12, 2012 at 7:35 am

    The haters are saying, “At least we get to see you make a fool of yourself now”. I don’t think his was ready for that group of 6-7 to go after him. 🙂

  22. snickers says

    March 12, 2012 at 7:43 am

    New story now from the haters, “He couldn’t sell the pic to a rag, no one would buy it”. If it was invasive you know someone would have bought it. He had nothing, and now he has the haters on his behind. LOL.

  23. GeeWhiz says

    March 12, 2012 at 7:45 am

    Too invasive? The tabloids have been waiting years for an inappropriate picture of Kate & Steve. He would make a ton of money. He is a liar.

  24. MarieS says

    March 12, 2012 at 7:51 am

    GeeWhiz –
    The lack of photo evidence is why I personally believe there is nothing going on with Steve. Too much time, too many paps and still no photo? There is nothing to see.

    There is no way this man has a picture. If he did he would have sold it before he got home Saturday Night. What a royal idiot. I do have the slightest glee that he took so many haters with him on his little ride.

  25. Rosemary says

    March 12, 2012 at 7:52 am

    Well, I, for one did not lose any sleep worrying about Chit Chat’s revelations. Kate has been hurt so many times by untrue reports that the only way she could defend herself was to speak out first on Twitter. Deborah: I was laughing too when I read Chit’s Twitter feed this morning. He probably wanted to flirt with Kate, and she was not interested. JMO.

  26. Deborah says

    March 12, 2012 at 7:56 am

    Yeah Rosemary, I think he had a soft spot (hard spot?) for Kate back in the day and she treated him, well like she treated the paps.
    He was just playing with her and hyping it up for hits.

  27. snickers says

    March 12, 2012 at 7:58 am

    He has a new fan club called the haters! Now he says get off my time line or my klout score will go up. I hope they stay with him for days and days. Maybe he should do an article on the hate blogs and see what Kate has endured for several years.

  28. Rosemary says

    March 12, 2012 at 8:02 am

    He has a link to a new article on Twitter with Kate’s name in it. As far as I can see, the article or photos have nothing to do with Kate. I think he quickly realized that listing her name means instants hits.

  29. Deborah says

    March 12, 2012 at 8:04 am

    Here’s a better link, scroll down for Kate.

    March 12, 2012 at 8:17 am

    LOL! Just catching up on the “story” this morning, bwahahaha! What a HUGHE load of garbage that turned out to be, LOL! Looks like this wannabe pap (the pics aren’t that good, to tell the truth) might have shot himself in the foot trying to attack Kate (and that’s all it was, with his insults and subtle threats and now the obvious backpedaling in order to manufacture a story)–today is the day that Jon’s contract with TLC expires, IIRC (at least according to his new gleeful “entertainment agent”), what a coinkydink this guy attacks Kate, wonder if he’s a friend of Jon’s?

    I don’t know about Kate’s contract w/TLC but .Hughie blew the chance of any future interview or pics with Kate, IMO! I think if he had been HONEST instead of “Mr. Nasty” toward her, she might have answered a question or two, but if he had that same smarmy, arrogant attitude in real life, which I suspect he did, I’d have told him to buzz off too! 🙂

    Loving that he’s on the receiving end of some hater love now, LOLOL! 🙂

  33. Lily@IW says

    March 12, 2012 at 8:28 am

    Well, they Philly guy was certainly confusing. He indicated to me the pic was the one of Kate w/a tarot reader that is on his site. He said no one picked it up.
    Then he tweeted he didn’t include the pic because it was too invasive. I asked him to clarify. As of yet, he hasn’t replied.
    I think it was a bunch of nothing (he also indicated that..more confusion). I also don’t think he’d hold back on something juicy.
    /
    I watched his segment. The reason that Kate was grouchy with him was that he acted as if she and Steve were a couple.
    He said several times that no one at the ball knew who she was. However, at the end of the show. The two morning hosts invited Kate to be on their show.

  34. Rosemary says

    March 12, 2012 at 8:30 am

    Thanks Deborah: I read that one earlier. He has another article about the movie “Do No Harm” being shot on location, and he leads the article with Kate’s name, and at the very bottom, there is a link to the Red Ball article. No other reason to include Kate in the heading, other, than for hits. CJ: This was “much ado about nothing”, but funny just the same.

  35. GeeWhiz says

    March 12, 2012 at 8:39 am

    CJ – Don’t think he is Jon’s friend as he called him a pig and said the INF pictures were a set up.
    .
    I never believed he had any pictures that would hurt Kate. I bet the haters slept with their laptops so they could immediately check on line when they woke up. They just knew there was going to be a juicy picture to slobber over. I’m loving that they got PUNKED!

  36. CoCoPuff says

    March 12, 2012 at 8:49 am

    SO silly. No way Kate would have done something at a public event that only some obscure freelance photog would have seen or heard about. Now the haters can spend the rest of the week speculating on what info he has that he is keeping quiet about! LOL Good it will keep them busy and out of trouble!

  40. Deborah says

    March 12, 2012 at 9:23 am

    So ludicrous, paps live and die for invasive pictures. Those are the Jackpots in their lives. The money shots. How careers are made.

  41. Pam@IW says

    March 12, 2012 at 9:33 am

    I was having a hard time bringing it up. Must have a ton of traffic.

  42. Lily@IW says

    March 12, 2012 at 10:05 am

    So, now he’s saying it was the pic of the Kate and tarot reader. Not sure what the glitch was that he got that confused or as to why it would be seen around the world and make Kate angry….but, there you go. The big non-story of the day.

  43. Rosemary says

    March 12, 2012 at 10:11 am

    Pam and Deborah: Probably from the haters trying to extract their pound of flesh. They cannot seem to let it go. I see nothing invasive about a tarot reading at a charity ball. Like horoscopes, to me, a fun read, but nothing to take seriously. It is not like Kate has the influence of Nancy Reagan.

  44. Anya Tennyson says

    March 12, 2012 at 10:14 am

    Lily@IW…So, now he’s saying it was the pic of the Kate and tarot reader.

    LOL. Is that his FINAL answer?
    .
    Maybe not – baby got a big new Klout score to protect!

  45. Rosemary says

    March 12, 2012 at 10:14 am

    Chit Chat thinks that Kate is sexy, and that Steve is a silver fox. At least, he is being fair to both sexes.

  46. Deborah says

    March 12, 2012 at 10:15 am

    I agree Rosemary & Pam but a gun ho Christian would not get a tarot reading. Silly but that’s all he/they’ve got.

    LOL this whole thing has made me laugh all morning. Too freaking funny. And to watch them keep attacking the guy with their demands is hilarious. I’m sure he regrets saying anything to them.

    There is an article up new on ROL where they interviewed Mr. ChitCHat and he says that Steve had his arm around Kate…and you can imagine the direction the article went.

  53. GeeWhiz says

    March 12, 2012 at 11:21 am

    Oh sure and he didn’t think to take a picture? What a slimmy slug this man is.

  54. CoCoPuff says

    March 12, 2012 at 11:52 am

    Oh M GEE ~Come on if there is anything inappropriate between Kate and Steve a pap would of killed his own mother by now for that pic.
    There isn’t a picture because there isn’t anything going on other then a close working relationship.
    And if Steve was to of put his hand on Kate to move her through a crowd ~So what?
    If there was anything between them some pap would of had the proof long ago~ this guy is a lying POChit!

  55. CoCoPuff says

    March 12, 2012 at 11:59 am

    ROL is even asking the haters directly now~`They asked do you think Kate is telling the truth? ~LMAO

  56. Momsby says

    March 12, 2012 at 12:10 pm

    If he had a picture of Steve & Kate with any kind of physical contact, him guiding her by the elbow threw the crowd..what ever It would be up with the ROL story!
    Our pal Holly Baby would have been all over it for her tags too!
    They got punked plain & simple!
    The funniest part is Kate will never go away because the HATERS are the ones who keep her name out there the most! LMAO

  57. CoCoPuff says

    March 12, 2012 at 12:27 pm

    Exactly Momsby,
    In the ROL story this chit man says there was no crowd when he supposedly saw Steve’s arm around Kate ~And he is described as a Professorial journalist? Why didn’t he capture this?
    But he did get a pic of Kate getting her cards read? ~LMAO

    The haters fall for anything

  58. Pam@IW says

    March 12, 2012 at 12:35 pm

    I think that this is the first time in the history of Gosselin blogland that I have ever seen one person have both sides of the issue so upset with him? Usually one side agrees and the other disagrees.

  59. Deborah says

    March 12, 2012 at 12:46 pm

    I’m not mad at iPhilly. He was just doing his job and baiting for hits, its what he gets paid to do.
    For Kate being a has been and all that she sure got him lots of attention today.

  60. CoCoPuff says

    March 12, 2012 at 1:05 pm

    I bet this guy is wishing he never responded to Kate on her twitter.
    IMO the old saying ~He made his bed let him lay in it, suits him in this situation.

  61. snickers says

    March 12, 2012 at 1:25 pm

    There is one hater who wants Philly to have some integrity in reporting his stuff. ROTF. Maybe she should heed her own advice first.

  62. Deborah says

    March 12, 2012 at 1:47 pm

    iPhilly is going to tell the gosselin story as he knows it on his blog tomorrow.

    PhillyChitChat.com ‏ @iPhillyChitChat

    I think tomorrow I will publish the other 3 Kate shots that my agency rejected, when I write up the more shots from the Red Ball & stories.

    PhillyChitChat.com ‏ @iPhillyChitChat

    That’ll be on my blog phillychitchat.com Nothing scandalous, but who knows neither side likes me. I have video of the party.

    .

  63. Rosemary says

    March 12, 2012 at 2:05 pm

    I think that Chit Chat is enjoying every moment of this. He has never been so popular. I do not hate him. I do not hate the haters, only what they represent. I feel sorry for people that have nothing better, or, as important in their lives as their hate. Must be a terrible way to live your life. They are showing their ugliest sides now complete with the foul language. Seems that Chit can dish that back as well.

  64. Pam@IW says

    March 12, 2012 at 2:08 pm

    I did not say hate or mad….I said upset and agree and disagree. There is a big difference. Not all fans and not all non fans are upset with him but there was a period today on Twitter that he was getting it from all directions.

  65. Deborah says

    March 12, 2012 at 2:22 pm

    Not from me, I stayed out of it. Maybe if he put Kate in a bad light I would feel differently but he didn’t. He was just workin’ it otherwise.

    When he announced on his twitter he was going to do a Gosselin story on his blog tomorrow I just said I hope he has plenty of lube on hand and a strong leg.

  66. Judy says

    March 12, 2012 at 2:59 pm

    Well.. he sold his story and pics to the National Enquirer… A lot of nothing about nothing for sure…

  67. Pam@IW says

    March 12, 2012 at 3:07 pm

    Judy, I believe he addressed that at Twitter. He was trying to sell his pictures to ROL and they took his comments and made it into a story (but I believe did not buy his pictures). He said he sold nothing. The NE picked up the story from ROL.

  68. Ann @ IW says

    March 12, 2012 at 3:10 pm

    Well, that was “plenty of nothin'” as they say at home.
    I read the tweet timeline a bit late, but as far as I could see, it was ahater who brought up Steve, not the chitchat guy. He just bought into the drama to get his ratings/hits up. He’ll milk it for all it’s worth.
    .
    Is anyone else just amazed at how devoted Kate Gosselin’s haters are?

    I’m suprised the haters don’t have her running around with the guy in the picture. At any rate, Kate looked wonderful and appeared to be having a nice time. That must really grind on the haters – Kate looking great AND having a good time, at a charitable event, no less.

    I loved his reaction to Preesi stealing his photos… Like she hasn’t lifted photos and article from every mag and newspaper since the show began… She blatantly scans every thing she finds like it’s her right to do so.

    Mega watt smiles and looking really good is the best revenge and Kate was smiling and looked really beautiful. My hair is in tangles and I have oatmeal on my shirt and the dogs are trying to eat my favorite shoes right off my feet, still even if I don’t look or feel beautiful I just have to smile this AM at the faces of all my children. Kate has got it going on and my hat is off to her with a joyful heart and a tad of envy.

    Yep Pam, today was not a good day in twitterland. It gets worse than that tweet. A lot worse. He claims Kate called him a fat slob and the gloves are off, not exact words but close

  77. Marnie says

    March 13, 2012 at 2:25 pm

    Sympathetic=compensation for the story! This guy won’t let it go. Surely if he’s the journalist he claims to be and Kate is the nobody he claims she is, he wouldn’t be spending this much time on her, no?

  78. Pam@IW says

    March 13, 2012 at 2:33 pm

    Seriously?

  79. Deborah says

    March 13, 2012 at 2:36 pm

    This was all part of his plan from the beginning. He knows all about the internet crazies, and both sides including Kate played it out just like he planed. I can’t say if anything will come from but he did threaten and he’s got all eyes on him. Just check out his twitter timeline, you’ll see he doesn’t get much traffic normally.
    Last tweet I saw of his to Kate went something like this ‘OK Kate, I understand’ something like that.

  80. Rosemary says

    March 13, 2012 at 2:40 pm

    I only saw where she called him a liar. He did lie about having the photo shot that would be seen around the world (Maybe the tarot shot will be, but I doubt it). He also said something about the tweeting being fun until he started receiving death threats. Philly has most of the haters blocked. He stated blocking them was like squashing cockroaches (paraphrased). I really do think that he is enjoying all the attention and money. Too bad, it came at Kate’s expense.

  81. Deborah says

    March 13, 2012 at 3:01 pm

    I don’t have a clue where the “Ok Kate, I understand” came from, or what it meant.
    I’m only guessing maybe they emailed and he’s calling it off. I hope so anyway.

  82. Deborah says

    March 13, 2012 at 3:07 pm

    Yeah, I had fun with it on twitter yesterday but it was all at Kate’s expense.
    It was the tricks of the trade for the Philly pap and we all played into his hand. I do believe Kate saw it coming Sunday after their first twitter encounter.
    I’m a bit slow and didn’t come on to it till last night.

  83. Pam@IW says

    I think he was just saying that he got that she did not call him a fat slob…that someone else did and included her name in the tweet? Does that make sense?

  85. Deborah says

    March 13, 2012 at 3:12 pm

    Rosemary, he claims the tarot card reading was his hot shot.
    There were tons of people at that event, I don’t believe for one minute Kate would leave herself open to scandal, if that pap had anything any of the people there could have something. There is nothing to his claims. Nothing

  86. Deborah says

  88. Pam@IW says

    March 13, 2012 at 3:35 pm

    And there is something about death threats?

  89. Deborah says

    March 13, 2012 at 3:42 pm

    Yeah Pam, that’s what he said. I took it to mean the death threats were in one of the hater emails he woke up to this morning. I really think he threw that part in for the drama.

  90. Rosemary says

    March 13, 2012 at 6:19 pm

    I cannot imagine why he thought that the tarot shot was a money shot. I am a Baptist and occasionally we play bingo for fun prizes (not money). Most county fairs have palm readers. No one that I know takes them seriously. This was a fund raising event after all. I wonder how much the Tarot Reader made for the Red Cross. Philly must be really naive in some areas (or maybe I am the naive one). I can tell from his tweets that he did not know he was getting into a hater’s hornet’s nest. Well, he seems to know better now. Cannot say the past two days have not been interesting and sometimes funny.

    Philly should do a report on the haters, instead of causing the riot. I don’t tweet, but if I did, I would suggest that to him.

  93. snickers says

    March 13, 2012 at 7:37 pm

    Pam,

    According to Philly, he had 25 e-mails this am from haters, when he woke up this morning. He did not print any e-mails to prove his claims about death threats, so I call it bs until he shows something.

  94. Ann@IW says

    March 13, 2012 at 8:16 pm

    It was all just hype that got out of hand. I do not blame Kate for being offended. It was haters who brought up Steve. He allowed them to believe that’s what he had.
    He seemed shocked Kate would call him out; he was too proud to back down; he expected to defend himself by lying about her to ROL; ROL went public with his gossip; he clearly had nothing and was embarrassed.
    I have to say, Kate is tough. She did not have any problem challenging him and seemed very confident he had NOTHING. She wasn’t worried at all. I kind of felt sorry for him after someone called him a fat slob and he complained of death threats.

  95. Deborah says

    March 14, 2012 at 6:40 am

    Here’s a link to iPhilly ‘s article he did on Kate.
    He gave me a slap. Well he gave everyone a slap and he’s smelling like a rose.

    Thanks for posting that Deborah. It is a little hard to read. What do you mean by “he gave me a slap”?

  97. Deborah says

    March 14, 2012 at 7:02 am

    First of all Pam I just woke up and haven’t had my coffee yet.
    I was one of the fans that said he was just doing this to Kate to make a name for himself and he went on to list all his accomplishments. How he doesn’t need to ride Kate’s coattails for fame. I never said that but I did imply on his twitter he planed this whole thing for attention.

  98. Deborah says

    March 14, 2012 at 7:14 am

    He claims innocence as to how this all got started but I was there reading Kate’s twitter before Kate ever chimed in. He was engaging/teasing the haters promising he had the golden shot that will be seen around the world. Just hyping it up for listeners for his morning show. He knew about Kate’s rabid haters and fans already and knew what he was doing.
    He still claims Kate called him a fat slob liar, she didn’t she just called him a liar.

  99. Rosemary says

    March 14, 2012 at 7:20 am

    Deborah: I am on my second cup of Dunkin Donut coffee. You might see his agenda differently after you finish yours. I had never heard of this man before his encounter with Kate. He was only known locally, and now he is known nationally. Yes, he did this for the attention and to sell photos. I read the article. It is poorly written with his thoughts all over the place. In a hurry or not, that is his job and blog. Both a reflection on him as an individual. He still maintains that Kate called him a “fat slob”, which she did not, unless it was in a private email. It is unlike Kate to criticize someone’s physical appearance. He needs to form some opinions and stick with them. He wrote this article, IMO, for hits to his blog and to keep the controversy going. He is backtracking. You can un-slap yourself. First insights are usually right.

  100. Mo says

    March 14, 2012 at 7:37 am

    So…. he has the Khaters #… They are nutso.
    But he keeps insinuating that Kate and Steve are more than friends, which is not cool.

  101. Deborah says

    March 14, 2012 at 7:58 am

    Thanks Rosemary, I just un-slaped myself. You’re right on all points.

    Mo, in this day and age affairs are more common than not. He’s not nice to imply it though.
    I can’t help but think he wouldn’t pass up a chance with either one of them. 😉

  102. Pam@IW says

    March 14, 2012 at 8:11 am

    I agree that is blog post was poorly written and hard to follow.
    .
    Deborah, I thought maybe he mentioned you in the article. Wasn’t quite sure.
    .
    I need to give it another read.

  103. Rosemary says

    March 14, 2012 at 8:13 am

    I agree Mo and Deborah: Without proof, he should not be implying there is more to their relationship. We do not know: Steve and Gina could be legally separated or divorced. I think he just threw that in to keep the haters reading his blog and tweeter feed. Philly seems to still be hurt that Kate did not consider him important enough to call or email him in advance. Male egos, go figure!

  104. Pam@IW says

    March 14, 2012 at 8:22 am

    Actually the haters follow the Neild’s fairly closely and they posted that they read on some public Facebook page where Steve’s wife declined some type of invitation because she and Steve would be attending some other event. To me that sounds like they are together.
    .

  105. Rosemary says

    March 14, 2012 at 8:35 am

    I saw that tweet Pam, but a link was not provided. Some of the haters have been known to embellish the truth. I often have trouble believing what the haters post. I like positive news and would like to believe that all is well with the Neilds.

  106. Deborah says

    March 14, 2012 at 8:37 am

    Pam #102, Oh no, I didn’t mean to imply that. As I was reading his post my face reddened is all because of what I tweeted him.

  107. Deborah says

    March 14, 2012 at 8:56 am

    He still only got 9 comments on his story, Seems not many have much to say about it.
    Even the cow stampede don’t have much to say.

  108. Rosemary says

    March 14, 2012 at 9:04 am

    Deborah: Since he has most of them blocked, I guess they would have to post anonymously. I did see some remarks on Kate’s TwitIQ about him and the article earlier this AM. They were dismissing him and his article as umimportant (paraphrasing again).

  109. Deborah says

    March 14, 2012 at 9:15 am

    Rosemary, he has been dismissed. After all he called them for the crazy bottom feeders they are.
    I felt a bit shammed so I imagine they really felt let down and slapped hard at the same time.
    Their need to be verified for their hate astounds me.
    In fact the only reason I think Kate shouldn’t have had her family show is because it fed and brought to the surface these crazies unbalanced ferals.

  110. Momsby says

    March 14, 2012 at 9:33 am

    I think as a celeb reporter Philly would be more than aware of the Steve/Kate relationship rumors & that is why he asked Kate to pose with Steve!
    I can totally see why that would have made Kate “grouchy”! If it had been me he would have had a B word in there:)
    Although, maybe not fully aware of just how intense the Khater’s hate, he had to know the initial tweets would get some attention. His retelling of the Philly episode did create some interest at the time & he’s mentioned it again several times! Didn’t HollyBaby pick that one up? As, well as all the hate sites?

    If there was an opportunity to take an incriminating picture & he didn’t “think” to take it, he might want to consider a new line of work! Unflattering as the tatoo shot is(maybe that’s the shot he thought K would hate?) it’s by no means a $ shot 😉

  111. Lindsey says

    March 14, 2012 at 9:43 am

  112. Rosemary says

    NO. 111: I love reading about the adventures of your family at Z’s blog. I think that you have some books in you too, when you have the time to write them.

  113. Deborah says

    March 14, 2012 at 10:02 am

    The comments are up to 18 on Philly.
    This was my fav from someone not in on the Gosselin saga. A outsiders view per say. Even though I would be part of the group with no life. LoL

    Welcome to the world of internet crazy! On the one hand you have a group of probably 10 nasty and obsessed stalkers who hang out on the internet all day looking for a way to pick apart/hate on/torture Kate Gosselin. On the other hand there’s a group of devoted anti-haters who seemingly also have no lives and spend THEIR days swatting at the haters. Then you have KG herself, who for the most part ignores all the nonsense and goes on with her everyday life – unless someone like you gets sucked in and she feels compelled to react.
    I’m guessing that in reality, 99.99% of the rest of the world really could care less about any of this, thank God. Gotta say that watching the haters on twitter has been an eye-opener for me, I had NO IDEA that people could be so twisted.

    Oh my, Preesi is showing her crazy big time, just like she did on Nina Frye’s radio show. Deborah your comment to ChitChat was too funny.
    .
    ChitChat was aware of the rumors about Kate & Steve. That’s what started this whole thing. He asked for a picture with Kate & her boyfriend and he thought she was grouchy and rude when she replied No, bodygaurd. After Kate “gave away his story” when she tweeted what happened then he started talking about them being a couple.
    .
    I think he lied about Steve having his arm around Kate for 2 reason: 1)He told so many versions of what happened 2) I bet his camera is always in his hands just as it is in his twitter avatar.

  116. CoCoPuff says

    March 14, 2012 at 1:10 pm

    Something has me confused here ~The haters claim Kate is a No body a washed up celebrity ~ but now they are accusing her of having so much power/clout that she was able to stop a pap from publishing a compromising picture of her with Steve?

    Do they seriously believe Kate could stop a picture from being released?
    If so they truly are beyond help!

  117. Rosemary says

  118. Marnie says

    March 15, 2012 at 10:27 am

    #118 that always has me in hysterics too. Every hater claims Kate is a washed up nobody, yet they make her a somebody, in their own lives, all day every day. They claim she has powers to stop tab stories and pictures from going to print, she can brainwash courts into allowing her full primary custody but she’s a nobody.
    –
    If she were a nobody, no one would pay any attention
    –
    This is my first experience with Preesi, wow is all I have to say. Her admittance that what fuels her, and apparently according to her anyways, all haters, is that they too had Mom’s with NPD. The Mommy issues and self diagnosing a celebrity is hilarious and sad.

    ITA Marnie! If they truly want her to go away..they need to stop obsessing about every little thing she does! Although, I’m still a Gosselin supporter I have to admit I missed most of the last season & usually get my G news here at IW!
    It’s the Khater’s who feel the need to dissect or discuss every single tweet or rehash old episodes at nauseam & who are following every move she makes!
    Seriously, who has the time or energy to invest so much in a person they like, let alone dislike?

  122. Pattypie says

    March 15, 2012 at 11:41 am

    oh the Kate haters are just so silly! silly Gooses. they obsess and obsess and obsess. i saw they were on to feather-gate. i think they need to decide if they are child advocates or ornithologists!

    or maybe they should just own their hate and seek help.

  123. momsby says

    March 15, 2012 at 12:49 pm

    there are so many with mommy issues in haterville, it’s hard to keep track sometimes. when preesi speaks of getting national attention for her npd cause..do you think she’s referring to her interview with nina frye??

    did nina’s show get picked up on a national level & i missed it? i can’t remember all the details, but wasn’t it shortly after preesi’s interview that nina stopped even doing the gosselin hour?

    i do give pressi credit at least she’s picked a cause & has stuck with it…however misguided & strange it is! i’m sorry that she’s had such a rough life, but there are many of us, out there who have faced challanges & choose to deal with them in a more positive & constructive way!

  124. Deborah says

    March 15, 2012 at 1:26 pm

    Funny thing about NPD. Awhile back someone on Bl’s c/p an article about NPD and it said it was inherited. Out of everyone that commented on it making Kate a textbook case acted like the inherited part wasn’t there. I laughed so hard. That explained it all to me. All those idiots never got it that what they claim as Kate’s mental disorder is really their disorder. Since then that’s what I see in Pissie and the rest of them. They are all textbook cases gone wild on the net & found each & bonded in their misguided sickness.

    Thank you Momsby. I too, am somewhat OCD and NPD. I always want everything “my” way and to be all about “me”. Unfortunately, the real world and my family, does not always agree with me. Sometimes I agree with Kate and sometimes, I do not, but I will always support a mother of eight (or any woman or man) and her right to earn a livelihood for her family as she sees fit and not be bullied for her choices.

    .
    “Executive Producer Jeff Collins says, “No and No.” Jeff wants to make it clear to everyone that he’s not in talks with the mom of eight or her kids. ”
    .
    Last week the National Enquirer reported that Kate was trying to get her kids on that show.

    Thanks for the link Deborah. It sounds like a re-hash of the same old, same old. Wonder why they did not put Jon’s name in the title. He was the one that created the “scandal” Probably because Kate’s name draws hits and viewers. Kate also stated on her twitter last night that the NE story was a lie, so Rumor Fix really does not have a story.

  132. Deborah says

    March 19, 2012 at 8:03 am

    Yes, it does sound like a rehash of either Jon spotted at the bar or the divorce.
    That’s the only thing that made headlines for a week or more.

    Pam: Since I was an accounting major in college, I tend to think like a business person. If they were going to refer to Jon and Kate plus 8 on their website and call the calendar Kate, then I have to agree with Kate. However, the exchange should have been done privately. I am surprise that TLC did not insist on their cut of each sale. I, for one, would not pay 50.00 for that calendar. Sometimes, going public is the only way to get the desired results.

    “Sometimes, going public is the only way to get the desired results.”

    Oh so true. But Man – calendar lady’s response was way over the top! Even she must think so because she deleted some of her tweets.

    Calendar lady got a lot of advertising for a few hundred bucks (or less wholesale cost) for a ton of media exposure. If her company didn’t take off after that she should re think her pricing.

  137. Shawn says

    March 20, 2012 at 8:53 am

    I agree with you PP. Kate responded to a tweeter. The calendar lady is the one that went ballistic and got very nasty and even carried it over to her FB. Not very professional.

  138. Deborah says

    March 20, 2012 at 10:31 am

    I think Kate has a valid beef with calendar lady but going public with it on twitter doesn’t/didn’t serve her well at all.
    It just gave calendar lady public support.
    I often wonder if Kate’s aware just how far the haters go to disrespect her and Kate often plays into their hands.
