If there’s a family that embodies all that the anti-God, do-as-you-please (as long as they agree with it), so-called liberals (Brent Bozell calls them “libertines”, but that word doesn’t really describe the freakier-than-thou attitude they exhibit), it’s the Duggars.  Here’s a family that really does do as they please, and violates just about every single American cultural norm.  They are as off-the-trail as any family since the fictional Addams family hit the airwaves. Reality TV has few series that make it past the Great Barrier of the third year (3 or 4 seasons, depending on who’s counting).  Within the subgenre...

Kate Gosselin is looking to secure full custody of her eight children, reports OK! Weekly, claiming that Jon can't be trusted to keep the kids safe. A source told the mag that "She doesn't feel comfortable allowing Jon to have custody when she can't trust him to keep them safe. When Jon starts acting like an adult, she'll reconsider." Currently, the couple doesn't have a formal custodial agreement. The kids remain in their Wernersville, Berks County home while the couple takes turns spending time with them. Kate filed for a no-fault divorce in June. Tensions have been high between the...

"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...

9.8 million people spent 1 hour of their lives watching Jon & Beaverhead Plus 8 last night. This was easily TLC's most watch episode ever. Jon & Kate even beat the Lost season finale in the ratings. That has to hurt. Sadly, I was not among the 9.8 million suckahs who watched, because I went to bed at like 8 o'clock. I wanted to make sure I was fully coherent when I watched, so that I could take precise notes. Kate is the master at this and she deserves my undivided attention. I watched a bunch of old episodes this...

Well, I hope Joel McHale is happy.Ok, so he's not the only one to blame, but is was the likes of McHale's portrayal on The Soup of Jon Gosselin as a hapless henpecked husband that must have drove the poor man to try and escape the world of a father-of-8-under-a-microscope.Last night's premiere of the 5th season of Jon & Kate Plus 8 was bittersweet considering the recent developments. I believe Jon's side of the story, and I still understand that even the most innocent version of his galavanting is enough for Kate to feel very hurt and angry.That's all you can really say. Exactly what drove Jon to such...
