The stress of a divorce played out in the tabloid press is starting to take a toll not only on Kate Gosselin, but also on her eight children, she said in a new interview. In addition, Gosselin said "close, trusted people" are cashing in on her story. "You tend not to trust," she said.

Ummmm....who cares about Jon and Kate? Why do we make tabloids about stupid non-sense instead of writing about how we are combating world hunger...thousands of children die everyday from disease and starvation..how about that for a topic!

Thanks, Jimmy! I will be SO glad when these two leave us all alone and go back to their private lives. I am SOOOO freaking tired of this couple that I could cry when I see their names. They just never stop with the interviews and the media attention. Why can't they just shut up???

I have to agree...it's no wonder Jon ran for the hills, his wife is such a media whore!!!! I don't feel bad for her at all, it's the kids who are truly suffering, and Jon is too, he is trying to stay away from the limelight, she keeps sucking him back in....run away from the cameras, Kate, run away!!!!

Zero sympathy.
They made a pact with the devil, and the devil wants his due - the souls of those kids.
You take fertility pills, you're dealing with the devil. You sell the rights to televise your children, you're dealing with the devil.
Time to pay up.

She should have thought about that before she started overpopulating the planet.... She is such a concerned mother...BS.
She should be tossed away along with her gross husband and bratty kids. How about a deserted Island theme? like Lord of the Flies.
Kate could hog the Conch until John drops a boulder on her head, then the kids could dance around with spears chanting "kill the Pig, Kill the Pig!!" Bet it would be bigger than survivor.

I agree 100%. what able some real news. we emulate the wrong people in this country....hence, the number of reality shows. these people who literally worry themselves about "hair-nails-hottest new style- etc" better start thinking about their future..this isn't the same world I grew up in...these kid's better be prepared---we are about to creatw a whole new welfare state...

Why on God's Green Earth does anyone care about these two morons and who on God's Green Earth actually wastes one minute of breathable living time watching these two morons and their brood ??? Do people who watch this show also vote ??? I hope not.
More importantly why do websites like MSN and Comcast think it's important to provide near daily updates on this telefamily ??? Do editors on these sites consider the travails of this dysfunctional pack of numbskulls to be actual "news" ??????
Why do we always hear politicians utter the line " Never underestimate the intelligence of the America voter " ??? I believe the "intelligence" of the American voter is greatly OVERestimated...especially in the case of anyone who would expend one moment caring about or watching televised crapola like this show.

There are articles about world hunger. But you CHOSE to read and reply to Jon & Kate. Any wonder it's still news?
Well now .. she sure loved all the attention when the money was rolling in. You got what you sought, baby. Now deal with it and get out of our faces!!!!

Exactly! The former Mrs. Gosselin needs to take responsibility for what she helped to cause. I believe it was the possibility of fortune that lead her to give birth to not just one but two sets of multiples, and yes the children are paying the price for it now.
I do my best to ignore stories about this train wreck of a family, and did not read this story. However, looking at a picture of poor Kate crying made me want to hurl! Two attention whores married each other, and are now divorcing...but not before wringing a little more fame and fortune out of their lives in the process.
Yep! The adult Gosselin's truly deserve each other...and the children deserve a new set of adults to care for them, outside of the spot light!

Her children are going through the same thing most kids go through when their parents divorce. So, with that being said, this is newsworthy, why? MEDIA - Please, enough of Kate, Jon, Lindsay, the Kardashians, and any other non-significant person you like to write about. I guess since Paris & Nicole have grown up, so you need to write about something. Try to write about things of substance, not this nonsense.

1)Yeah, the kids dont live in a vacuum. SO of course they will show strain of divorce. But she was one half the decision, now wasn't she...
2)I kinda think she is guilty of cashing in on her own kids.

Both Jon and Kate constantly say one thing and do the other. Plus, maybe it's not just the divorce. I read radaronline and they are regularly spending weeeknds and time with their nannies. It must not feel good to have both parents gone so much. That is NOT good for children in this divorce.
They should both do the right thing and shut up and leave us ALL alone!!
Enough with the incessant interviews. And why are they constantly in the media? They barely rate.

Nothing to say on my part, I agree with all the above, except to say, she has no STRAIN when she is deciding what to spend her $75000.00 on each series.

Hey, Kate. Here's a thought. Quit your sniveling in front of the camera, take your kids and move out of your billion dollar home, get a job and get on with your life. Divorce your husband ONCE AND FOR ALL and file for child support. This is, by far, the stupidest thing I have ever seen. You are no better than your husband. Do you honestly think that everytime you go on TV, you're not exploiting your children? No one cares, no one wants to hear anymore how rough your life is. Please, do everyone a favor and give it a rest.

Is this story from the same MSNBC author that wrote the sad developing story about the presidency causing a strain on the Obamas personal life?? Both are at the bottom of my last list of things to waste time thinking about.. There are consequences to ones decisions. Didn't anybody tell them that? I agree with #6 and really everyone that's really tired of this.

Thank you, enough already... Kate join the real world the world that lots of Mom's take responalbity for the children they chose to create! You are no different. You made the decision to have 8 children now get yourself to work and take care of them. As with most divorces your standard of living will change. Sell the house and buy something you personally can afford with out putting your young children on display for financial gain. I did not ever watch your show as I thought it was so wrong, guess what? Turns out it was wrong! Now look what you did to your family, you and Jon. You have lost everthing your love, your beautiful family, pick up what you have left and get a life that protects your children from all this. You loose!

Now she wants to be a movie star! WOW
Maybe when women like this stop having litters, these kind of trash reality shows will stop. Until then, Kate...it is a vagina not a clown car. Kate you want to see families who really have it rough, check out one of your reality show competitors....Home Makeover. I love the rumor about John hooking up with that other clown car loser...Octomom.

"As an explanation for what caused him to act the way he did, Jon said, 'It’s hard for a man to stay home for two years and change diapers and make meals and deal with doctor’s appointments and all the stuff that you expect your wife to do.” ...WTF??? expect your wife to do??? What an idiot! It works both ways Jon, she was making you money and you were the stay at home dad. Roles reversed. But I guess since you're such a "man" you weren't comfortable in that position. Funny how you act like a stupid kid sometimes! I can't stand this man anymore!
All men act like stupid kids sometimes. If you can't stand it, stop reading.
Oh PLEASE, Same Old Story - "Boo-Hoo, Boo-Hoo, wipe eyes....Boo-Hoo, Boo-Hoo, wipe eyes....(oh, and try to make everyone feel sorry for Kate)...Boo-Hoo..... Cut the crap Kate.

The kids are showing strains? No kidding. Maybe if you and hubby would stop @!$%#ing at each other while intermittently mugging for the cameras the kids would have a little stability in their lives.

I've seen about 3 of these episodes. Kate was a real harpie on that couch in discussions with Jon. No wonder he snagged himself a girlfriend.
Early on: interviewing for a housekeeper showed her OCD; just plain nasty on a trip-----somewhere. I couldn't stand her then, care even less now.
She is prostituting those kids - but now that the cash cow seems to be ending its production, here come the waterworks. Oh boo hoo.
Enough already, Kate and Jon exploited the fact that they went against medical advice and had more children at one time than anyone should. Quite frankly, I don't care. There is nothing they offer to deserve the public attention they've been getting. They are both selfish and over-exposed.

How terribly sad and shocking to learn that children will become stressed when expoited for fame and fortune. Who woulda thunk it?

Did you all notice under the story though. Quote 'TLC to lose Jon,go with Kate Plus Eight' Unquote. Sorry, I feel the same, but thats what it says. Yuck.
I had posted awhile ago that you never hear about the McCaughey's (and there's 7 of them!) and someone said they had been offered a reality show but turned it down or something like that. How come I've never heard about that? I know once a year on their birthday they are interviewed by Ann Curry for Dateline. Those parents are smart if they decided to turn down a reality show. You never hear about them.

enough is enough this has gone on long enough. if she wants her children to get through this she needs to stay off tv.... they need to finalize their divorce and get on with their lives. these children will never recover with these parents behaving the way they are. i do not feel sorry for either one of them. it seems to me they neither one are so concerned about the children they are more concerned about the money they will lose. i understand have been living w large income but all good things come to an end. they had to know that at some point this wld end. they shld have always had back up plan for when it did. they both need to get real jobs focus on these children and help them get thru this process. they need to quit worrying about themselves grow up and act like responsible parents. stop the crying and whining i will be so glad when i can go online and never see another story about these 2. i only hope these children have more support from other people. they are definitly going to need it.

Oh my God. Why does the media insist on cramming these idiots down our throats almost as much as they cram President Zippie down our throats. I can not imagine one person caring about the Gosselins. And if they do, they really need to get a life.

brewzky....
Haven't you yet figured out that what's important in this country is John & Kate, Brittney Spears, Tom Cruise and his daughter, Jennifer Aniston, Octomom, Lindsay Lohan, the actors from the "Twilight" movies, American Idol-nots, a little bit of Angelina Jolie and her opinions, Michelle Obama and her fashionably ever rising belts, Paris Hilton, Ashton Kutcher, and whomever happens to go on a date with Jennifer Aniston on any given day.
This land has evolved into a warped place.
Oh yeah....and Posh Spice too !!!! She's really important to people of this country. Exactly "why", is another issue altogether.
Then give the kids up for adoption, you video whore!
Then they won't have to suffer the worst thing in their lives: YOU!

Jon's a shi*t head, and Kate, well if you can't handle the pressures of a public life, then stay out of the spot light...
Please, Today Show, stop interviewing Kate! She's a fool from day 1 having too many children and you're just feeding her goal for celebrity. And, worse, you're encouraging others like Octomom to follow Kate's idiotic path.

Did she think her vagina was a little clown car or something with all these little kids running around. Maybe she will have an affair with the balloon boys dad.
John - brewzky
Okay the clown car joke was funny a few weeks back when someone said it to Michelle Duggar. It's old now.
Especially since KATE gave birth by C Section. Her vagina (clown car) didn't have a say (or play) in it!
Gayle: I am so glad you are in tune with the John/Kate chronicles. Maybe take up jogging, knitting, or something other than munching on Oreo's while watching daytime TV.
Who is Michelle Duggar by the way?

You must be pretty normal to know nothing about these telemoron families.
The Media keeps shoving these two down out throats.
"Class A Losers."
What Jon & Kate have put their children through for their own selfish pursuit of fame is pathetic! They both continue to act out with out regard for their children. I only feel sorry for the kids not these two pieces of self promoting trailer trash!

Both parents are accountable for their actions, they've used their children as a means to become famous/monetary gain. Do right by their kids. The two, Jon and Kate, surely haven't shown it in the past couple of months, it's called maturity. Next...
