Jon & Kate Save The Tabloids
As the real life drama-saga known as Jon & Kate Plus 8 continues, it would seem that the Gosselins are not the only ones banking on their recent thrust of fame.
They might have gotten almost 10 millions viewers, but celebrity magazines like Us Weekly, who has featured the struggling parents on their cover for the last six weeks, are rolling in dough off of the Goss gossip.
The May 11th issue, which broke the story of Jon's alleged affair, sold over 1 million copies, which is a huge boost - over 100K - from what they were selling before. The five following issues have all sold just as well, if not better as the latest issue, with the headline Inside Jon's Prison, has sold between 1.2 million and 1.3 million copies!
Damn!
Us Weekly editor Janice Min believes that the once relatively obscure couple, now tabloid gold mine, are a topic readers feel strongly about: "There was something about the story that really resonated with readers. The thing I loved about it is that it introduced new celebrities to the world of celebrity journalism."
It's called trashy gossip!
But no matter what you call it, we love it all the same.

It's sad to see someone else's life go bad. But hey, what sells sells.

A mom raising 8kids alone…isn't that reserved for crazy-ex strippers that
want to look like Angie Jolie.
A mom alone with 8 kids - that's crazy/stupid.
lol
I am so over these clowns.
UMM, FATSO MARIO.. YOU DO THE SAME DAMN THING. HYPOCRITE MUCH??
Re: sauer –
Nice photo!!!…"puurrr" Let's post more of those and less of the Gosslins.
;)
I think their issues are fake, and simply a way to drum-up more viewers. But that's just my opinion, and I could be completely wrong….
Re: aizlyne –
Thanks! I'm a little partial to it.
I told you Perezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz WAY before all this began.
God, I'm tired of these losers. This shit is not news, it's just a waste of gossip.
white trash $ells
Dumb bitch/media whore Kate goes to the tabs then whines about the media giving her such a hard time. Don't bite the hand that feeds (pays) you!
that's probably the end of dick for her.
the only guy that'll wanna be involved with her will definitely be in it to exploit her.
Celebrity journalism…ha, what a joke. I hate to tell Ms. Min she's no Walter Cronkite.
HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! "Real life drama-saga"?!?! Oh please! People are so eager to eat bullshit these days! Wow, totally disgusting how everyone believes this farce. I can't even– Just wow.
I love her 'REVERSE MULLET'….. white trash
It's the hair. Pure and simple. Could you be married to someone with a reverse mullet? Christ that's awful!
Keep up the good work Gosselins… your messy lives is making bucks for the gossip rags!!
haven't bought a tabloid in over 15 years don't intend to buy one now.
Yeah talking about them being money hungry when they are using them to sell their whack ass magazines. Us Weekly is the WORST! Another tabloid put them on blast for their fake stories! Over 20 of them! Jodi and Kevin are their sources and they are all getting paid off it! Pot calling the kettle black!
Jon must be weak in the bed. Any woman that bitchy and uptight ain't getting what she needs. All it would take is a "look" from him and she'd shut right up. I mean he couldn't even get his wife pregnant a damn turkey baster had to do it! LMAO! Yes it's a joke you freaks! But I mean still. She obviously isn't getting satisfied and he is Asian. He'd just give her those eyes and she'd know he'd beat it up if she didn't shut up.
For the life of me, I just can't see the fascination with
these people.
Do our own lives look so much better simply by watching these
dysfunctional baby-collectors?
Who the hell are these people? what are they famous for?
I like how you're talking about US Weekly but have a picture of People.
And WHY is this news? WHO STINKING CARES! Did they not think that this would happen to them? That is why you don't air your life story out on tv, because when you do you open the doors for people to know all of your business and gossip and lie about you. Maybe they should stop the damn show and call it a day.
Could these two fall off the planet already!!!!
Re: sauer – Thats some profile pic…
In Touch broke the story of Jon's affair, not Us Weekly. They just copied and followed up on In Touch's lead.
OMG I am sooooo tired of hearing about this john and kate bullshit. Enough already!
It stinks for these children. This father really messed up, however, she should give him one more chance for the sake of the children. If he doesn't become a full member of the family then kick him to the curb.
this is really sad
like i feel so bad for those kids, especially when they get older! I really hope that Jon and Kate can work through this! i really think they could if Jon would just grow up, and stop being soo selfish. Like the only reason they are doing the show is to make money for the kids future. Maybe they're planning on doing the show until they have enough money for all the kids to go to collage. you don't know that . soo, i think everyone should just stop ragging on them! give them a break. and think about the children and how all of this negative publicity about their own parents will effect them now and in the future.
OK, I'm looking at the cover if the mag, and I really want to buy it- Suburban Dad Brad Thrills Local Moms! Wow, wha's Brad up to Now? Winona Ryder- Her Life Now- The Economy is changing- is she "shopping" at Target now? Biggest Loser Champion Helen- I Lost 140 LBS- Actually I watch that show- Helen is awesome, I remember watching when she was quite chubs and doing pull-ups, I was so impressed with her guts- Helen is my hero. Oh, and Kate Gosselin again, yawwwn…
Perez, "It's called trashy gossip!"
Just like this website- Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Someone plezzzzz cut Her dyky hair!!!!!!!!!!
do we know for a fact if Jon really did cheat on her, i mean they only got a pic of him outside some 'woman's house'! i say we need proof and then we can judge him!!
If you hate the show and everything why do you have to make a bad comment whats the point? If you hate the show so much why are you putting energy to write a rude comment.
