The Power Of Jon & Kate!!!!

kate-goss__opt1.jpg

People say they are sick of the Gosselin family drama, but we think they're liars!!!

The In Touch Weekly cover featuring Kate Gosselin spanking one of the oldest of her brood outsold People's Bachelor issue!!!!!

Unheard of!

In Touch Editor-in-Chief Richard Spencer spent $75,000 for photos of disciplinarian Kate in action!

The Gosselin clad magazine sold 1.2 million copies, while usual leader People sold less than 1.1 million.

Money well spent!

America loves a good scandal!!!

      WOW!



    2. 2

      so sad



    3. 3

      She has every right to spank her kids if they need to be disciplined! I don't understand all the fuss. It's not like she's the first (or the last) mom to do so. Yes I'm tired of her too, but I'm not going to start inspecting every little thing just because the media slaps it on the front page of something. NOW it's getting REALLY ridiculous. Picking at anything to sell magazines.



    4. 4

      Bad kids get smacked…no scandal… I got spanked and smacked as a kid, when you push the limits or behave badly you get punished…this is not a story…



    5. 5

      Kate just looks mean! She always has a nasty look on her face



    6. 6

      I bet she LOVES this cover…gahhhh



    7. 7

      I believe it was Leah, NOT one of the twins



    8. 8

      Just goes to show people love to talk one thing and do another. It's like the folks who come on here to bitch about Perez but ignore the fact their very presence and repeated postings bring him in more money.
      It's kinda like Jon and Kate, they broke records for their premiere show by hyping the worst and making sure folks would want to show up and see the sideshow for themselves.



    9. 9

      She should have smacked you! You whiny little bitch!



    10. 10

      Scandal??
      She swatted her misbehaving child on the bottom! WHO cares. Maybe if your Mom woulda whooped your azz as a child you wouldn't have turned out to be such a self centered, entitled lil pansy, and be able to take a punch in the face like a man.
      I'm tellin ya, kids need a swat sometimes.



    11. 11

      So what she spanked her kid. If more parents put their foot in their kids asses, we'd have less crap going on in the world!



    12. 12

      So what. She spanked her kid. More kids need to get their butts whooped these days. Look at Heidi and Spencer Pratt. Nuff said.



    13. 13

      why do they make news?!



    14. 14

      Thats Leah, one of the youngest of the sextuplets. Not Mady or Cara….



    15. 15

      i am 13, so i can't say anything about kate that i want to say about kate. omg. she is a (mind thinking) how could u slap the crap outta ur child like that. AHHHHHHHHHH. I hate kate. but i love the plus eight.



    16. 16

      That isnt one of the older girls…that is Leah



    17. 17

      give me a break. for real. people get so bent out of shape about people disciplining there children. well guess what? i got spankings as a child as did my siblings. and we all turned out to be great upstanding humans. that is why there is so many thugs and little shits out there now. because parents cant spank there kids without someon calling dfs!!! quite sad



    18. 18

      she seems to have a lot of anger in her and by hitting her children she will only take it out on them.



    19. 19

      Horrible mom!! You don´t hit your child…….. NEVER!!! Disgusting you people who thinks it´s ok to smack and spank children! DISGUSTING!



    20. 20

      You guys have the weirdest celebs. I'd never heard of the Gosselin's until you started posting about them.

      And kids get a little slap every now and again when they need dicipline. Hell, my mum and dad hit me when I was being a little brat. There's nothing wrong with it every once and awhile.



    21. 21

      If it's frowned on and illegal to hit an adult - or someone else's child - why is it acceptable to hit your own?

    22. LMG says – reply to this


      22

      So fucking what? My Mum smacked our bottoms when we misbehaved and what harm did it do us? My sister is a nurse and I'm a doctor and we're both very happy and whats more - we had really happy childhoods.



    23. 23

      I agree most of you guys as I have never watched the program but I've heard her kids are right shits, and yes she has lost control, but Im sure it wasn't like she attacked the girl, just a bit of hard punishment, which I don't think is the best, but not the worst.



    24. 24

      I don't see a problem with her spanking her children when they misbehave. I'm 16 and when I was those kids ages I got spanked too when I misbehaved. It's when the parents hit them in places other than the butt, and for no reason. Otherwise its not a big problem. Hey, atleast she didn't hit them WITH something. Theres just alot of things worse than that that she could do.



    25. 25

      Re: TIFFANYJO – I agree with your comment 100% … if people disciplined their children there would be a lot more respect and a lot less problems! Too many children have an unrealistic sense of entitlement beause they haven't had any structure or discipline.



    26. 26

      As a teacher I've learned that the most well mannered and well adjusted kids are the ones that have been spanked. There's nothing wrong with it IF done correctly.



    27. 27

      Seriously, since when is a spanking a scandal. I am on Team Kate. Clearly she does all the work while Jon goes through his mid-life crisis. No wonder she has a scowl on her face, look how the media is portraying her.

    28. kel14 says – reply to this


      28

      this isn't a scandal. she has every right to spank her children if she feels its necessary. at least now they will think twice before doing what they did again. there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, and america needs to stop obsessing over every aspect of their lives.



    29. 29

      im spanked when i was a child and that set me up straight.



    30. 30

      if i had 8 kids and they acted out, it'd be on and poppin too.
      and i dont like when people say that she looks like a bitch, i mean 8 kids will make any one a bitch.
      those kids ruined her life.



    31. 31

      Trying to take some heat off yourself and your scandel??? There is no scandal in a parent discipling a child…but since you are not a parent you wouldn't understand it.



    32. 32

      Please I dont think she should have done it the way she did. But I spank my son when he is out of line. Not that it does any good. She needs to remember she is always being watched and take her disciplin inside. And people have to remember the only thing that makes them different is they are on tv. They will have bad days just like you and me.



    33. 33

      seriously? In all honesty, looks like she might have just spanked her to discipline her. And there is nothing illegal about spanking your child, its illegal to "beat" your child… but everyone raises their children with their own discipline, spanking is NOT illegal… they are really trying to completely rip Kate's integrity and the tabloids are destroying her life… I feel bad for her, honestly.



    34. 34

      Re: mizz.jenner – wow, are you serious?
      you act like she's the only mom that disciplines her children. every child needs a little slap on the butt when they misbehave. but since you're 13, you won't understand.



    35. 35

      everyone gets spanked not that big of deall.



    36. 36

      Re: willie2states – Well they didn't ask to be born. They were created in a lab just so they could be raised by crappy Kate? So sad.



    37. 37

      She spanked Leah–not one of the older ones–aka the Twins



    38. 38

      why the fuck are you guys going nuts because she's disciplining her child?
      all parents do that. well, all good parents. if people don't discipline their children, they will walk all over them and think they're the ones in charge when they're not. you people obviously don't have a brain and are just trying to find something to complain about. its not a huge deal. its not like she's beating the shit out of the kid, she's just spanking her, and theres nothing wrong with that. she obviously did something she wasn't suppose to and now she's knows not to do it again. just chill out, its not a big deal.



    39. 39

      Discipline is not wrong. There are too many spoiled rotten kids who cry about everything and get everything they want. I learned to listen after a good spanking too.. so nothing wrong with that..



    40. 40

      Re: LaMisma – actually what's sad is your picture lmao



    41. 41

      What is wrong with this is that the kid will still have it hanging over their heads when they are 20-and look, there is her underwear-can you imagine the hell those kids will suffer in highschool? Do they all get trust funds for their acting on the show, and who is managing them?



    42. 42

      What is the fuss??
      The child probably was being bold/naughty and how to displine a child who is acting out,you give them a smack.
      I was smacked as a child and I stopped whatever I was doing to deserve it.

      So please don't start on about CHILD ABUSE if that was child abuse WE ALL WOULD KNOW!! But its not just being teached some dislipline!!

      Im from Ireland and have seen this show,and I just laugh at some of the CRAP in your magazines(no offense) The child was being BOLD!!! So drop it!!

      Switzerland-x-x
      :)

      Perez ease up on some of the Stars,You don't wanna be attacked….AGAIN!!!

      -x



    43. 43

      I think more kids need to be spanked! I can't get over how bad people parent these days! It's disgusting. We're going to end up with a world of spoiled bratty adults who think they are entitled to everything. *pukes*



    44. 44

      What a Mommy-biatch. Jezus christ, can someody lock her the hell up?!



    45. 45

      PEREZ PLEASE STOP POSTING NEWS ABOUT THEM…..IT IS SOO ANNOYING!
      :(

    46. AndyG says – reply to this


      46

      shes stupid, they need to take the cameras off her FACE! so that she can take care of her REAL shit. those kids are going to have A LOT of resentment toward her as they growwwww.



    47. 47

      kate scares me a bit!
      she always looks pissed off, but I guess she has a reason too?
      HAHA! oh well, shes annoying



    48. 48

      That is called a mom…??her daughter is so small nd she hits her… thats just not okay!! Little kids remember when their parents hurt them… nd I think she just want to be a little bit present for the paparazzi…yeah she have to…becuz she couldn´t make anything right in her life…so she has to be so violent to her daughter??!!I can´t imagine…what a bad "mother"!!



    49. 49

      kate has every right to discipline her kids, spanking is not an action that the cops should be called on her for. its unfair that the paparazzi are so invasive. the media keeps saying that the show is harming her family & will affect her kids poorly, so maybe they should stop invading their privacy and getting the public involved in their styles of parenting.



    50. 50

      It's not a question about being spanked, but WHY was the child spanked.

      Apparently the little girl blew a whistle while Kate was on her cell phone (talking to her boyfriend).

      Hardly, something to be attacked for.



    51. 51

      OMG . you know what good for Kate .. its about time mothers start spanking their children! like kids these days a freaking BRATS! and shes pretty much a single mother now and you know more power too her!!!!! everyone has been spanked by their parents or care givers! and you know what kids at that age need them!!!!! SO GO KATE!!!!!



    52. 52

      damn perez, you get spanked in the face and act like a bitch about it, what the fuck is the difference?



    53. 53

      Re: nichii – oh give me a break. u are probably one of the snot nose brats that needed spanked as a child. spanked not beaten there is a big difference. get over it



    54. 54

      Re: like!!!COLON!!! whatever! – totally agree 100%. scary to think our world is going to be run by that generation.



    55. 55

      also think about poor leah who when she grows up will realize the whole entire world saw her crying, being spanked. how is all this going to affect the kids, it is sad and embarrassing for them



    56. 56

      AMERICA LOVES A GOOD SCANDAL BUT HATES PEREZ HILTON. THERE YA GO, CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS MEANIE!



    57. 57

      $75,000 for photos…….no wonder this world is full of morons! Who needs an education when all you need is a camera and a desire to harass people.



    58. 58

      As Perez would say….."Violence is never the answer" lol!!! Where are all the people defending Perez….that lil kid doesn't deserved to gett beaten down like Perez….well maybe she called Kate a F^kin F@ghet!



    59. 59

      Re: willie2states
      Those kids ruined her v@gina!!! I'd beat them too!!!



    60. 60

      Forget the Goesslins - I want to read about the LeAnn Rimes drama.



    61. 61

      More kids need to be spanked….kids today are out of control brats.



    62. 62

      wow, who really cares that she spanked her child. If the kid is bad and deserves it go ahead, just because she is actually taking control and being the parent they are gonna say she shows no regrets. I wouldnt either, it is perfectly justified if the child is bad



    63. 63

      double WOW!



    64. 64

      I usually dont like her attitude but I do agree that spanking is a good way of discipline if needed. I was spanked few times when I was little and so were most of my friends that grew up in the 80's. We are all well functioning adults. I was not traumatized at all by it. Maybe if people were not afraid to discipline their children there would be less problems with them!



    65. 65

      i think you people should just leave them alone. there is nothing wrong with spanky your kids. child services came in on my uncle and thought the were abusing their kids because of noise complaints and they explained everything and child services said you have every right to spank/smack your kids. if that is you parenting styles. hell, i got spanked alot when i was a kid.



    66. 66

      spanking if a perfectly acceptable form of discipline~give the woman a break!!!



    67. 67

      All i can say about this family anymore is 'poor kids'



    68. 68

      This is getting a bit ridiculous… first of all, leave them alone already. Secondly, what's the big deal… she wasn't BEATING her!!!! If kids don't get disciplined they grow up like Paris, Nicole, Lindsey, et al. Third, truth be told, it doesn't look like the mom is hitting her kid at all… looks like the kid was being a brat and the mom was trying to control the situation. PLEASE already. Enough is enough. We all know they've been separated for a couple of years now and that Jon and/or Kate didn't "technically" cheat… they were approved extramarital relations.



    69. 69

      Re: LaMisma

      What's so sad? That the media won't let these people live? Or that a normal red-blooded American mom was disciplining her child? Sorry babe, "time outs" and the yuppies that invented them doesn't work for everyone.



    70. 70

      Re: JenFraud_is_a_MORON

      You'd look that way too if you had 8 young children! I have two and find it numbing at times… but I love 'em!!!! As does she.



    71. 71

      Re: Miss USA

      EXACTLY. The kids who aren't disciplined are the ones who grow up to be drug using, obnoxious, selfish, and rude.



    72. 72

      Re: mizz.jenner

      Um, not only are you young but you're stupid. Kate is NOT slapping the "crap" out of her child. Sounds like mom or dad didn't discipline YOU enough. Get off the internet and do some reading you little entitled bitch.



    73. 73

      Re: nichii

      Please. Spare us. YOU should be hit.



    74. 74

      Re: Fathom

      Because it is… get over it. The kids who grow up with no disciplining turn out to be entitled jack asses with no respect.



    75. 75

      So what she spanked her child. Everyone has their own way of disciplining their OWN child, as long as their are not abusing them, it's fine. I was spanked and all my friends were spanked and they turned out great.



    76. 76

      Re: BITCHULUV2H8

      Amen to the sad picture. LMAO!!!!!



    77. 77

      this shouldn't be a scandal, parents can spank their children if they wanted!



    78. 78

      Jesus fucking christ if i was the kids i would of killed that bitch by now!! shes just asking to get her throat slit!!!



    79. 79

      This is not a scandal at all.. many people spank their children, i mean who wants their kid to grow up and be a spoiled brat who gets away with everything? Good for her. Sooner or later were not even going to be able to look at our kids the wrong way. Seems to me the media is doing anything and everything to get a story..



    80. 80

      im not a kate fan but im on her team. im a mom myself and as a mom i have to let my child know she is wrong and that she needs to be punished so she doesnt do it again…
      kate is under alot of pressure and scrutiny and its not fair for her to be judged harshly especially when its about discipline…



    81. 81

      Re: Fathom
      That's actually a really good point..never thought of it like that.



    82. 82

      Better stay away from her Mario. You KNOW she will hit you. LMAO…



    83. 83

      Not only are Jon and Kate ca$hing in on their show, so are plenty of others. (People, the Tabs, E! and other networks) So do you really think these "news" anchors and everyone else under the son wants this show to stop? Don't think so. Quit your hypocritical preaching over every little thing that these two people do wrong (adultry, spanking kids, and on and on)!!! We are all guilty in some way or another of the very things they're accused of, only us regular joes don't make no $$$$$. Even you Perez, I'm sure makes a decent killen doing what you do, still love ya though.



    84. 84

      I'm sick of this spanking controversy. Guess what? I was spanked occasionally as a child when I did something really bad. And guess what else? I turned out completely normal. I graduated college, have a good job, married. I have no repressed anger over being spanked. I don't beat people up, or hate my parents.

      In summary, leave the spanking decision up to the parents. The occasional smack on the rear is a far cry from a beating. Come on people!!!



    85. 85

      By your comments here I say this………No wonder you have so many children killed by their parents in the USA and UK!!! Sick people!!

      Well I'm sick of your drama, as well as the jon & kate, but I can't help but keep on. ?



    88. 88

      white people are crazy….u can't spank ur child? lmaoo… come 2 the hood



    89. 89

      my parents spanked me as a kid. it sucked, but im much more disaplined then my friends who've never been grounded. but i dont understand why they're making a big deal.



    90. 90

      She can spank her child, it's okay, it isn't against the law yet.



    91. 91

      im not the biggest fan of these two (still love thoes kids how could you not), but COME EFFING ON! - first the whole thing with the dogs being abused *kids are naturally rough with animals, lucky they got well tempered German Shepherds! and NOW Kate is getting publicity over spanking?!?!! America needs to get the fuck over it, and all of these yuppies who have issuses with spanking is crazy—spanking is not abuse, dont you think if the camera crew who follows them alllllll dayyyyyyyy loooong noticed abuse they would tell?!

      spank my child, more money in my pocket…



    93. 93

      Until you've had kids, shut your trap Mario. Your just attacking a woman with 8 kids, who's marriage just tanked. Stop it



    94. 94

      wow–everyone's just smacking the shit out of each other lately–and it's the gays and the little kids catching it



    95. 95

      Gee I'm suprised you didn't make more of a big deal about the violence. Does this mean her kids can press charges just like you….Phaget



    96. 96

      Spanking on the bottom with an open hand is a perfectly acceptable way to discipline a bratty, disobedient, belligerent, saucy, unruly child!!! I got the occassional spanking when I was a kid, and not ONCE did I ever hate my mother or father for it. I KNEW that I did something wrong, something I was told not to do, and I CHOSE to be disobedient. So I got a spank. Not a single thing wrong with that.

      Conversely, I know of one mother who doesn't spank or disicpline her son in any way. Guess what? Is is the angriest, brattiest, most disrepectful little shit I have ever met in my life. He even HITS her, screams at her in public and freaks out if he doesn't get his way. He's 7 years old and I SHUDDER to think what he is going to turn out like as a teen/adult.

      DISCIPLINE is important, and if that includes spanking, then all the power to the parents who love their children enough to discipline them and help them turn out right!!!!



    97. 97

      KIDS GET SPANKED. GET OVER IT. THAT IS NOT ABUSE. YOU KNOW WHAT ABUSE IS AND KID SPANKING ON BUTT IS NOT QUALIFIED AS ABUSE!!!



    98. 98

      yawn… parent disciplining a child, so what?

      Why do people think that children who aren't spanked aren't disciplined? There are other ways to discipline a child.
