Just Keep Smiling Jon, Or ELSE!

Looks like Jon and Kate plus 8 will be returning for another grueling fifth season. Their first new episode will air May 25th, plus a green speical airing on April 19th. Oh joy, rapture.

Kate Gosselin was recently seen at a book signing in a California Barnes and Noble. Yes, she is on her second book.

Her first book was on the NY Times Best Seller list. Really? What, are people bored out of their freakin' minds??? I truly can't picture myself ever being that bored.

As reported by Hollywood Insider

"Hundreds of Jon and Kate Plus 8 fans converged on a three-story Barnes and Noble store in Glendale, Calif., Tuesday to meet series star Kate Gosselin, who is crisscrossing the country to promote her second book, "Eight Little Faces: A Mom's Journey".

The bookstore, about eight miles outside of Los Angeles, was the first stop in Gosselin's multi-city tour (she'll be in Huntington Beach, Fresno, and San Francisco later this week), and close to 400 people waited for hours to get a brief audience with TLC's famous mother of eight."

Oh hells no! 400 people, waiting hours to see that shrew Kate?
Again, did these "fans" not have hair to wash or socks to sort that day???

I'm guessing Mr. Mom Jon was probably home with the brood, that or their army of paid assistants. Kate's new book called Eight Little Faces: A Mom's Journey, should be called Pimp Out My Family and Throw Hubby Under The Bus.

Forgive me, but I can't understand why people who managed to make a small fortune exploiting their family, would continue to "whore" themselves out for the almighty dollar at the risk of their family becoming psychologically scarred and permanently dysfunctional. These people need CPS, not more reality tv. It's perverse what Kate and Jon are doing to their children and their marriage.

Considering Kate and Jon are supposedly such avid bible thumpers (didn't they give their kids action bible figures for Christmas one year?) has the vice "greed" not entered their biblical vocabulary?Perhaps they missed the Sunday sermon: "Thou Shall Not Pimp Thy Family Out".

One would also think that John would have liked to keep whatever was left of his spine (and manhood), but I guess come May...it's back to jelly fish mode.

What attracts people to this show? There must be SOMETHING, ANYTHING, else to watch. Surely watching Kate rise to even greater heights of "Bitchdum" and John being henpecked till his family jewels are the size of peas would lose its luster, like after the 1st episode, but the 5TH season?
