So, Jon and Kate’s “big announcement” has been the talk of town for days. And while many people ask “Who the hell are these freaks and why do I care?” all I can say is, “THEY ARE JON AND KATE GOSSELIN, DUH! They have the cutest kids ever and I’ve been watching them since they were BORN!!!”

Ok, so maybe I’m a little invested, but I was there for their first dentist appointment that’s what happens when you watch a show for so long and feel like you get to know a family. That is why people care. We’ve been watching the Gosselin children grow since they were born, so we’ve been dreading the announcement and news of what was going to happen to this once seemingly perfect family

As I settled in to watch and heard of the couple’s decision to separate (and Kate claiming that it had “nothing to do with the show”…yeah right), I felt a sudden drop in my stomach. Although I had already been anticipating this news for weeks, hearing it straight from Jon and Kate suddenly made it very real. In many ways, this unfortunate decision seemed inevitable. Any regular viewer of the show could see the tension brewing between the couple for quite some time, but that didn’t make it any easier. Nor did it stop the tears that welled up in my eyes. I know, I’m embarassed.

I had to turn to a Butterfinger bar to make myself feel better.

It’s just hard to watch a relationship fail, regardless of who it is. And feeling so connected to those kids makes it so much worse. What is going to happen to them? How are they going to take the news? And, if having cameras in their faces/paparazzi stalking them/a mom with porcupine hair wasn’t enough, will this totally eff them up in the future? Read More »

So, anyone who isn’t hiding out in the library cramming for exams/living in a cycle of school’s-out-so-let’s-drink-our-faces-off and OMG-I’m-so-hungover-from-drinking-my-face-off has heard the reports that Jon Gosselin (of our absolute favorite TV show, Jon and Kate Plus Eight) is getting drunk and bangin’ bitches.

Bitches that aren’t his wife.

We can’t quite explain it, but this news has left us devastated. We love that family. We actually love them a lot more than we love our own family, mostly because we don’t have 8 half-Asian siblings running around being totally cute. The thought of them breaking up because pops got married and had kids too young and now can’t keep his pants on really makes us sad.

Even if we do sorta see why he’d do it – Kate is so mean to him! He just needs someone to say nice things to him… and maybe not cut him off every time the man wants to speak.

But is it true? We aren’t really sure what to believe. We know the tabloids will do anything to keep their circulation up (their business has been dwindling), but they can’t print blatant lies! And there are photos!

What do you think? Is Jon cheating on Kate plus 8, or is this all one giant misunderstanding?
