Kate Gosselin And The Crying!
Ok, Kate. We get it. You're sad that your vision of what life would be like hasn't worked out as well as you expected. Join the club, sister. You think you're the first person to have a marriage fail, even when children are involved?
You're the one who wanted a big family, even when it didn't look like you and your troll-like husband Jon Gosselin weren't able to have them. Kate Gosselin and Jon both persevered, and with the help of some modern medical magic ended up with 8 kids. But did that make Jon and Kate happy? No. As evidenced by their long-running reality TV show, the huge family was a means to an end for both Kate and Jon.
Because of their huge family, the Gosselins became modern day freaks who became of interest to millions of people who watched them for the sheer enjoyment of seeing two losers try and cope with a lifestyle they can barely handle.
Most importantly, Kate Gosselin has had plenty of help and plenty of money, which has aided her greatly in raising the kids. Now she and Jon are breaking up for good. Of course dealing with the end of relationships is difficult for anyone, but it's much harder for Kate because she's attempting to play out her drama in the national media.
One thing seems likely. Kate Gosselin is losing her appeal now that "Jon and Kate Plus 8" has ended. Her how long interview with Natalie Morales "Kate: Her Story," only attracted 3.795 million viewers. This is a far cry from the type of numbers her and Jon were used to pulling.
Could it mean fatigue has set in with the masses? It seems likely. Now that Jon and Kate Gosselin are no longer teamed up to help raise their kids, they have turned into a sideshow act, sniping at each other ceaselessly during tabloid spots and TV interviews.
Not only that, Kate Gosselin can no longer talk about her life without crying. It's time to dry your eyes, Kate. Your marriage has failed. Jon Gosselin has already moved onto other women and another life. Now the only thing that matters is the children. Kate, you need to dry your eyes and stand up tall for your kid's sake. What kind of message are they learning by seeing mommy bawling on TV every day?
Right now "Jon and Kate Plus 8" is dead. Unless Jon Gosselin relents, or the two parties find another way to settle, the show will likely stay off the air. Even if it comes back, it remains to be seen how many viewers will be interested in watching, now that the leads have separated and gone their own ways.
