New Episode: TURNING FIVE & THE FUTURE

From TLC: "When we last saw Jon & Kate, they were on a different page. Where are they now? In this one-hour, up close and personal season premiere, side by side Jon and Kate address what the future holds for their family." May 25, 9:00 p.m. (Note that TLC's website now has this episode as 75 minutes long, rather than an hour.)

As an aside, this past weekend a close friend of the blog lost a loved one suddenly and tragically. It's a reminder to us all what *really* matters, and hint: it's not a cable television show about people none of us know in real life. With that said, we are not in the mood for much negativity or ugliness and may feel the need to moderate more carefully, so please be respectful in your comments. Thanks.

TLC Ramps up their J&K Promotion, Jimmy Fallon Solves the J&K “Beef”

By Anya


Some took me to task yesterday for discussing the Jodi and Kevin hair situation. I know everyone will be very relieved to know there will be no mention of Gosselin or Kreider hair in this post! Instead, I will discuss my own. Lucky you! I got it colored yesterday and can I tell you how much I love the two plus weeks following a coloring when I have no discernable gray hair? Even better is the blow-out I got afterwards that takes care of my own frizz (you better believe I have it too) until the next shampoo. I think I’ll shampoo my hair next on…..June 9^th.

Ok, onto the latest Gosselin developments.

Kate has a blog! Who doesn’t these days?

So far, there is just one entry discussing the infamous trip to the party store. Ok, let’s get a couple of things out of the way – I don’t really think she is necessarily writing this thing. And I agree parts of it read like Kate is addressing her critics -- such as her assertion that she went outside to play with the kids prior to the store trip. Maybe she did, maybe she didn’t, but knowing how she has been knocked for not playing with the kids enough (in some people’s minds) made me think the inclusion of this bit of information was deliberate. That said, I think the blog could be a good vehicle for her to get her version of events out there without involving magazines, etc. We will see, I guess.

Also, TLC has posted a “sneak peek” of the season five premiere. I have my own thoughts, but I’ll let you guys weigh in first.

Lastly, for a bit of levity, Jimmy Fallon performed an amusing send-up of the Gosselin “beef” on his late night television show the other night.

Enjoy.

The Gosselins’ Media Circus Continues

By Anya

So far, this week isn’t bringing the minute-by-minute breathless revelations about the Gosselin family that the last couple of weeks brought, but that hasn’t stopped the tabloid press and weekly entertainment shows from trying to drum up stories. Tonight a very nice woman named Candi Wingate of Nannies4Hire.com appeared on Entertainment Tonight and shared her vast experience working with the Gosselins for a brief period a year and half ago. Yawn. Sorry. Time for some Red Bull.

Folks hoping for an appearance from Jenny or Not-A-Nanny were disappointed, but were able to satisfy themselves with yet another appearance by Kevin and Jodi Kreider on Radar Online. Yawn. Sorry, guess that Red Bull hasn’t kicked in yet! Today, everyone’s favorite in-laws focused on a story that Jon told them about a “secret marriage contract.” The whole thing sounds absurd to me, but I’d like to hear what you all think. And on a purely shallow note, for all the people who complain about Kate’s hair, can we not agree that Kevin’s part in the middle is not working and Jodi could really use some product to curb the frizz?

The Gangs All Here

Jon and Kate (and "The Bodyguard") were spotted by paparazzi at a local Pennsylvania water park on Sunday. The gossip website JustJared is reporting the family was at the park filming a belated birthday party for the sextuplets fifth birthday.

Do you think there is more than meets the eye? Please share your thoughts.
