"Jon & Kate Plus 8" will be on hiatus until August, the L.A. Times has just reported.
Thank God!
Was anyone else bored to tears watching the repetitive and monotonous statements about their divorce made by Jon and Kate Gosselin on last night's show?
Kate tried to come off as being sad, vulnerable, suffering, but still strong, and Jon pretended that he was finally doing the manly thing by standing up to his harpy wife.
Both of them kept repeating how much they were thinking about their kids, even divorcing for their kids.
Really?
Because if they had been thinking about their kids' well-being, couldn't they have been in couples therapy for the last year, working out these relationship issues so it didn't have to come to this?
Those poor little kids.

She probably wasn’t frustrated, tired, or angry enough before. She’d never consider treating an adult that way or accept that treatment from another adult. Sad what whacked out adults will do to a child.
It is petty and immature. My favorite was a mom in a store hitting her kid while stating, “We don’t hit!”
Ironic, no?
The show was sickening from the beginning. If they’d invested half the time in their marriage/family that they spend garnering freebies and hard cash, they’d still be married.
Wow, mature and powerful. Who else do you swat if they act up?
I thought the exact same thing watching that. He says, “I’m 32 years old with my whole life in front of me, and I’m excited about this new chapter in my life”. Bizarre and wacked.
They haven’t the foggiest notion about what they’re doing to those eight children. How dare they break apart this family, due to their own immaturity and inability to deal with their feelings!!! They need two hours with Dr. Phil, who will turn them both around in a heartbeat. Jon acts like a baby, the way he talks like he has been “whipped” by his wife all these years and he’s tired of it. His weakness and inability to work WITH her is no reason to walk away from his family the way he’s doing. Her big mouth and constant ridicule of her husband doesn’t envoke any sympathy from anyone when she is embarrassed by his indiscretions.
Kate needs to shut up, Jon needs to stand up, and both need to grow up. And all of them need to CALM DOWN and love their eight children more than they hate each other.
“””Who else do you swat if they act up?”””
Ok, using your logic I’ll show you how stupid rhetorical questions are.
You drive a car? Who else’s car do you drive when you want to go somewhere?
You have a spouse? Wow. Who else do you go to bed with at night?
You ever swat a fly? Wow many other animals do you regularly kill?
You pay your bills? Who els’e bills do you pay?
See how stupid that is?
