5-a-Day Allowance
Wednesday May 27, 2009
CelebNews@Usmagazine.com! - Kate Gosselin Gave Jon a $5-a-Day Allowance The new issue of Us Weekly has even more details on Kate Gosselin’s tight leash on husband Jon, and the long, strange private dynamic between the deteriorating couple.
“She used to give him only $5 to spend, and if he was out and needed more money, she would give him hell,” his former employer at Style Craft Corp, David Rothermel, tells Us.

Rothermel, who fired Jon for misusing company resources and remembers college dropout Jon looking online all day for freebies for the sextuplets, also recalls a very-pregnant-with-sextuplets Kate storming into the office one day.
“She came in raising hell because Jon’s father was supposed to bring her lunch and he was late,” Rothermel recalls. “She got up out of bed rest to come in and yell at anyone who would listen!” (The Gosselins later publicly concocted a story that Jon was let go by Rothermel because the company didn’t want to insure the sextuplets.)

Also during that time, when a friend of Jon’s father donated a 14-passenger van to the family, Kate “never thanked him,” says a source close to Jon. Instead, “she traded it in because she hated the color burgundy.”

During Monday’s season premiere, a beaten-down Jon revealed his lack of self-esteem. “I can’t write. Some people say I can’t talk or breathe right, either.” (Kate famously told him once to “stop breathing so loud.”) Also on the episode — the show’s highest-rated episode of all time — Kate admitted she’s “been hard” on Jon during the 10 years of their marriage.
“I would never deny that. I’ve always regretted it,” she says.

@g.f.: She looks out for her kids? Not if they are thirsty!!!
I really resent being called a grifter or a scam artist. I am not.They were gifts.If those blue- collar churchgoers were a little sharper then they would have held on to their “love offering”. It’s not my fault they have a heart,.some body else would have just come along and taken them for a ride. It might as well have been me and my litter. I’m clean.
Even a creep like me thinks people who congratulate themselves for their own comment are subhumans that need to be gassed. sue ??
@abbie: (sorry realblond, I had to reply) I must have missed the crotch shots of Michelle Duggar. Also, when was the last time Michelle denied a thirsty child water?

In the fifth-season debut of Jon & Kate Plus 8 on TLC on Monday night, the first part of the equation had dramatically shifted to Kate Minus Jon.
After months of tabloid rumors of infidelity, the tension in the Gosselin marriage was palpable. The media frenzy may have turbo-boosted ratings (the 1 hour, 13 minute debut claimed an astounding 9.8 million viewers, more than double the show’s previous apex), but the schism between Jon and Kate clearly was not a publicity stunt.
In a departure from previous seasons, the couple were by and large interviewed separately. They rarely even appeared in the same frame, and when they did, they studiously avoided eye contact. The atmosphere was frostier than a Zamboni’s tires.
At the prompting of producers, they each addressed the domestic discord presumably caused by reports of Jon’s philandering.
Looking sullen and defensive, Jon expressed remorse while denying that he had been unfaithful. “I take full blame,” he said. “I just didn’t think it would escalate into what it’s become.”
Kate, as is her wont, didn’t spare the rod. “I have a lot of anger,” she said. “. . . He’s made some very poor decisions and we all have to live with them.”
She groused constantly about his recent lack of involvement in running the household.
The situation may be more dire than the premiere made it seem. At a certain point, one of the sextuplets pleaded with her father, “Daddy, I don’t want you to leave anymore.”
With the kids becoming less of a focus, the show seems to be mutating from a family circus into a rancid soap opera.
Monday night was primarily about Kate’s driven attempt to be absolute mistress of her domain. She has become the Martha Stewart of maternity, juggling a book tour with organizing the perfect birthday party for her six 5-year-olds.
In the meantime, you can see the 9-year-old twins, Mady and Kara, being drawn into disturbingly adult roles as supplementary caregivers to their younger siblings. Say hello to mother’s little helpers.
Fans of the show know that Kate has always been domineering. In fact, hers is a rather appropriate name for such a shrewish woman.
She acknowledged her bossiness on Monday night, saying: “Have I been hard on him over the past 10 years we’ve been married? Absolutely! You have it on tape.”
Her dictatorial nature was only enhanced by her severe, sloping hairdo.
But until now, Kate’s henpecking of Jon was a shared ritual, part of their marital dynamic.
At this point, the two seem to be coexisting, uneasily at that, in the same house, staying together, not for the kids, but for the sake of the show.
The Jon & Kate phenomenon has taken on a startling momentum of its own. How weird is it that the biggest tabloid stars of late have been the Octomom and the Gosselins?
The idea that things change as soon as they are observed is never more true than on reality shows. As soon as you turn on the cameras, the subjects stop being people and turn into performers. That has been abundantly clear since the genre’s grandfather, The Real World, exploded on MTV in 1992.
What was supposed to be a documentary quickly becomes a job for the participants. And if you play your cards right, like Lauren Conrad on The Hills or Kate Gosselin on this show, it can carry you to remarkable heights of wealth and fame.
For his part, Jon is unhappy with the hand he’s been dealt. “It’s become a business,” he said ruefully on Monday’s debut. Kate is obviously more enthralled with her new lot in life.
What you don’t see as the Gosselins conduct their “everyday” lives are the bustling squadrons of camera crews, sound men, producers, and assistants constantly hovering just out of camera range.
The situation has reached new levels of absurdity as the omnipresent TV camera crews are now surrounded by a wider ring of paparazzi snapping away feverishly with their zoom lenses.
In one scene from the episode, the TLC TV crews filmed the photographers as they snapped Kate going into Rockefeller Center in Manhattan for a Today show interview. As Chandler said to Monica in a classic episode of Friends: “Exactly how many cameras were on you?”
The Gosselins have become the Brangelina of Berks County, their every move and utterance avidly captured and scrutinized.
While the couple complained repeatedly on Monday about the intrusion on their privacy, that hasn’t stopped them from taking advantage of every material possession their newfound notoriety has provided, including the expansive McMansion in Wernersville.
You can’t blame them for capitalizing on their opportunities, but it seems churlish to carp about conditions that they signed up for, circumstances that have so richly rewarded them.
That doesn’t stop Jon from gnawing on the hand that feeds him, soon after he turns up for the kids’ party in a flashy white sports car.
At the end of the episode, Jon and Kate are forced to sit on the same couch to address their current marital status. Not since Citizen Kane have we seen two people so divided by a single piece of furniture.
While they carefully tiptoe around it, neither one is willing to characterize or comment on their rocky relationship and its fragile future.
It’s remarkable how much this show has changed in one season - from Jon, Don’t You Dare Eat the Daisies to Who’s Afraid of Kate Gosselin?
Maybe it’s best that the kids have left the room

Kate having a body guard is not a bad idea. Even in places like Reading, PA..which I don’t live too far from, having one might be good. She has a lot of people that don’t care for her, it’s probably scary to be out running errands and stuff. From reading people’s comments on here, there are some that may want to take a swing at her.
@Peeping Toms R Creepy: I agree. They know all the kids “as if they were there own!”
Some of us actually respect the kids enough NOT to examine each and every one and know all their favorite things. It is sick and Kate’s last book was a masturbation manual. There was one picture of one of the girls with her pans around her ankles and she was pulling her dress/shirt up! She was wearing underwear/pull up but that picture is NOT appropriate to be sold to the public. The public IS FILLED filled with sick individuals. Just get online, Megans Law, and you can see all the registered sex-offenders in your neighborhood.
Kate gets a bodyguard, or two. The kids? Not so much.

Some methods of cyberbullying are unique to a certain kind of cyberbullying motive. And so are the ways the cyberbully maintain their secrecy or broadcast their actions to others. Some are secretive, some require an audience and some are entirely inadvertent.
Because the motives differ from each type of cyberbully, the solutions need to address their special issues. There is no “one size fits all” when cyberbullying is concerned. But understanding more about why they cyberbully others will help. You have to address the motives. That’s why awareness campaigns need several different messages to address the problem.
“The Vengeful Angel”: In this type of cyberbullying, the cyberbully doesn’t see themselves as a bully at all. They see themselves as righting wrongs, or protecting themselves or others from the “bad guy” they are now victimizing. This includes situations when the victim of cyberbullying or offline bullying retaliates and becomes a cyberbully themselves They may be angry at something the victim did and feel they are taking warranted revenge or teaching the other a lesson. The “Vengeful Angel” cyberbully often gets involved trying to protect a friend who is being bullied or cyberbullied. They generally work alone, but may share their activities and motives with their close friends and others they perceive as being victimized by the person they are cyberbullying.
The “Power-Hungry” and “Revenge of the Nerds”: Just as their schoolyard counterparts, some cyberbullies want to exert their authority, show that they are powerful enough to make others do what they want and some want to control others with fear. Sometimes the kids want to hurt another kid. Sometimes they just don’t like the other kid. These are no different than the offline tough schoolyard bullies, except for their method. Power-Hungry” cyberbullies usually need an audience. It may be a small audience of their friends or those within their circle at school. Often the power they feel when only cyberbullying someone is not enough to feed their need to be seen as powerful and intimidating. They often brag about their actions. They want a reaction, and without one may escalate their activities to get one.
Interestingly enough, though, the “Power-Hungry” cyberbully is often the victim of typical offline bullying. They may be female, or physically smaller, the ones picked on for not being popular enough, or cool enough. They may have greater technical skills. Some people call this the “Revenge of the Nerds” cyberbullying. It is their intention to frighten or embarrass their victims. And they are empowered by the anonymity of the Internet and digital communications and the fact that they never have to confront their victim. They may act tough online, but are not tough in real life. They are often not a bullying but “just playing one on TV.”
This kind of cyberbullying usually takes place one-on-one and the cyberbully often keeps their activities secret from their friends. If they share their actions, they are doing it only with others they feel would be sympathetic. The rarely appreciate the seriousness of their actions, and often resort to cyberbullying-by-proxy. Because of this and their tech skills, can be the most dangerous of all cyberbullying.
“Mean Girls”: The last type of cyberbullying occurs when the cyberbully is bored or looking for entertainment. It is largely ego-based and the most immature of all cyberbullying types. Typically, in the “Mean Girls” bullying situations, the cyberbullies are female. They may be bullying other girls (most frequently) or boys (less frequently).
“Mean Girls” cyberbullying is usually done, or at least planned, in a group, either virtually or together in one room. This kind of cyberbullying is done for entertainment. It may occur from a school library or a slumber party, or from the familyroom of someone after school. This kind of cyberbullying requires an audience. The cyberbullies in a “mean girls” situation want others to know who they are and that they have the power to cyberbully others. This kind of cyberbullying grows when fed by group admiration, cliques or by the silence of others. It quickly dies if they don’t get the entertainment value they are seeking.
The Inadvertant Cyberbully: Inadvertant cyberbullies usually don’t think they are cyberbullies at all. They may be pretending to be tough online, or role playing, or they may be reacting to hateful or provocative messages they have received. Unlike the Revenge of the Nerds cyberbullies, they don’t lash out intentionally. They just respond without thinking about the consequences of their actions.
They may feel hurt, or angry because of a communication sent to them, or something they have seen online. And they tend to respond in anger or frustration. They don’t think before clicking “send.”
Sometimes, while experimenting in role-playing online, they may send cyberbullying communications or target someone without understanding how serious this could be. They do it for the heck of it “Because I Can.” They do it for the fun of it. They may also do it to one of their friends, joking around. But their friend may not recognize that it is another friend or make take it seriously. They tend to do this when alone, and are mostly surprised when someone accuses them of cyberabuse.
Education can help considerably in preventing and dealing with the consequences of cyberbullying.

Often the power they feel when only cyberbullying someone is not enough to feed their need to be seen as powerful and intimidating. They often brag about their actions. They want a reaction, and without one may escalate their activities to get one.
Interestingly enough, though, the “Power-Hungry” cyberbully is often the victim of typical offline bullying. They may be female, or physically smaller, the ones picked on for not being popular enough, or cool enough. They may have greater technical skills. Some people call this the “Revenge of the Nerds” cyberbullying. It is their intention to frighten or embarrass their victims. And they are empowered by the anonymity of the Internet and digital communications and the fact that they never have to confront their victim. They may act tough online, but are not tough in real life. They are often not a bullying but “just playing one on TV.”
This kind of cyberbullying usually takes place one-on-one and the cyberbully often keeps their activities secret from their friends. If they share their actions, they are doing it only with others they feel would be sympathetic. The rarely appreciate the seriousness of their actions, and often resort to cyberbullying-by-proxy. Because of this and their tech skills, can be the most dangerous of all cyberbullying.
“Mean Girls”: The last type of cyberbullying occurs when the cyberbully is bored or looking for entertainment. It is largely ego-based and the most immature of all cyberbullying types. Typically, in the “Mean Girls” bullying situations, the cyberbullies are female. They may be bullying other girls (most frequently) or boys (less frequently).
“Mean Girls” cyberbullying is usually done, or at least planned, in a group, either virtually or together in one room. This kind of cyberbullying is done for entertainment. It may occur from a school library or a slumber party, or from the familyroom of someone after school. This kind of cyberbullying requires an audience. The cyberbullies in a “mean girls” situation want others to know who they are and that they have the power to cyberbully others. This kind of cyberbullying grows when fed by group admiration, cliques or by the silence of others. It quickly dies if they don’t get the entertainment value they are seeking.
The Inadvertant Cyberbully: Inadvertant cyberbullies usually don’t think they are cyberbullies at all. They may be pretending to be tough online, or role playing, or they may be reacting to hateful or provocative messages they have received. Unlike the Revenge of the Nerds cyberbullies, they don’t lash out intentionally. They just respond without thinking about the consequences of their actions.
They may feel hurt, or angry because of a communication sent to them, or something they have seen online. And they tend to respond in anger or frustration. They don’t think before clicking “send.”
Sometimes, while experimenting in role-playing online, they may send cyberbullying communications or target someone without understanding how serious this could be. They do it for the heck of it “Because I Can.” They do it for the fun of it. They may also do it to one of their friends, joking around. But their friend may not recognize that it is another friend or make take it seriously. They tend to do this when alone, and are mostly surprised when someone accuses them of cyberabuse.
Education can help considerably in preventing and dealing with the consequences of cyberbullying.
Some methods of cyberbullying are unique to a certain kind of cyberbullying motive. And so are the ways the cyberbully maintain their secrecy or broadcast their actions to others. Some are secretive, some require an audience and some are entirely inadvertent.
Because the motives differ from each type of cyberbully, the solutions need to address their special issues. There is no “one size fits all” when cyberbullying is concerned. But understanding more about why they cyberbully others will help. You have to address the motives. That’s why awareness campaigns need several different messages to address the problem.
“The Vengeful Angel”: In this type of cyberbullying, the cyberbully doesn’t see themselves as a bully at all. They see themselves as righting wrongs, or protecting themselves or others from the “bad guy” they are now victimizing. This includes situations when the victim of cyberbullying or offline bullying retaliates and becomes a cyberbully themselves They may be angry at something the victim did and feel they are taking warranted revenge or teaching the other a lesson. The “Vengeful Angel” cyberbully often gets involved trying to protect a friend who is being bullied or cyberbullied. They generally work alone, but may share their activities and motives with their close friends and others they perceive as being victimized by the person they are cyberbullying.
The “Power-Hungry” and “Revenge of the Nerds”: Just as their schoolyard counterparts, some cyberbullies want to exert their authority, show that they are powerful enough to make others do what they want and some want to control others with fear. Sometimes the kids want to hurt another kid. Sometimes they just don’t like the other kid. These are no different than the offline tough schoolyard bullies, except for their method.

The bottom line is that the show sucks and too many people have caught on to who these people really are. It is now just a circus freak show. Bow out with whatever grace you have left and most of the public will forget quickly.
