KATE GOSSELIN: HOW SHE FOOLED THE WORLD - THE RISE AND FALL OF A REALITY TV QUEEN
Page 54
They drove back to the house and Kate went inside and five minutes later, the new, mean nanny came back out with all eight kids. After playing for about an hour, the nanny told the kids to put their bikes in the garage. She told them again and then a third time, getting absolutely no response at all from the kids. They were within twenty feet of her and just completely ignored her. That made her mad but Kate was in the house so she just went and got the bikes herself and put them away while the kids continued to play in their Crooked Houses. The kids all went inside with the nanny at 3.
Sure enough, at 3:15, Kate came out and got in the car and left – AGAIN. This time she drove to the exact same place as before and went into Target – which is right next to Dick’s in the strip mall. She spent forty-five minutes inside shopping and came out pushing her shopping cart, looking fabulous in tight white pants, high heels, a bright blue top and crazy, white-framed sunglasses. She had several bags and I could see that she bought a bunch of bottles of some kind of juice and she put them in a cooler in the back of the Land Cruiser. She also bought a toaster oven. After loading the car, the ass-kissing pap took her shopping cart for her so she wouldn’t have to walk it twenty feet to the cart rack.
I’m trying not to judge her, but it looks like she’s looking for any excuse at all to leave the house and get away from her kids.
She got back to the house around 4:45 and went inside. The kids were all inside when she got home. All was quiet but the nanny stayed at the house until 6 pm when I guess Kate finally called it a day.

Kate left for NYC at 7am
Nannies watched the kids while Kate was away – Again
Kate and Steve Neild arrived at the Essex House hotel
Kate and Steve took a taxi to Ted Gibson’s for Kate’s new hairdo
Tony joined Kate and Steve at Ted Gibson’s before going out to dinner with Kate at Nobu
After Nobu, Kate and Steve returned to the Essex House.
Judy arrived at the house at 6 am to take over parenting duties for Kate who was preparing to leave for an overnight trip to New York. Judy and the new, mean nanny would be rotating with a third nanny while Kate was away.
Kate and Steve arrived at the Essex House around 10 am and checked in. Steve helped Kate with her bags and followed her into the hotel.
They stayed inside until 12:30pm when they came out and jumped into a taxi and drove to Ted Gibson’s salon on 5th ave. Steve escorted Kate inside for her extension-removal appointment with Ted’s team.
While Kate was upstairs in the salon getting worked on by a team of stylists, Steve came outside and stood watch over the paparazzi who were nearby trying to get pictures. All they could see from across the street was the top of Kate’s head and several people working on her. Steve stood around the building and paced back and forth, taking the time to have small talk with the paps.
At 6:30 pm, Tony arrived at Ted Gibson’s to meet Kate. He was inside for an hour waiting before the group of Kate, Tony, Ted, Steve and another guy came outside at 7:30 and got into a taxi van to head to Nobu for an 8:00 dinner reservation.
The group was in Nobu for two hours and fifteen minutes and came out smiling at 10:15 pm.
The pap asked Kate what she was doing in New York and she responded with a smile, “working.”
Meanwhile, back in PA, Judy was watching the kids all day and they played outside for most of the day with the usual assortment of bikes, scooters and lacrosse sticks and balls. The new, mean nanny took over for Judy at 3 pm and she was scheduled to stay until 9 pm when she would be relieved by a third nanny for the overnight shift.

Kate was supposed to get her hair extensions put back in at Ted Gibson’s today but was a no-show.
Kate’s whereabouts today were unknown by all of my contacts including three photo agencies who were searching for her.
Back in PA, same nanny rotation as yesterday.
The kids are sad/mad at Kate. She was supposed to take the kids on a trip during their Spring Break but canceled because of DWTS.
Kate was rumored to be spending the day again today at Ted Gibson’s to get her hair extensions put back in but she didn’t show up and wasn’t spotted anywhere in New York or anywhere else by any of the paps and agencies that I spoke to. She gave everyone the slip today leaving the paps speculating as to where she was. LA?
According to xxxxxx, the nannies were all scheduled the same as on Wednesday with no word of Kate coming home tonight.
She said that the kids told her that Kate had planned on taking them on a special trip while they were home for Spring Break but she had to cancel because of DWTS. “The little kids are sad and disappointed but they’re used to that by now from both Jon and Kate. Mady and Cara are mad at Kate though and are giving her the silent treatment” “They think she cares more about her career than them.”
Judy and the kids played outside all day and the kids took a long nap around lunchtime. The mean nanny arrived at 3:15pm for her 3 pm shift and the kids begged Judy not to go. “They hate the new nanny because she’s mean to them and yells at them.”

Kate was away from the kids again from Wednesday before they woke up to Saturday night after they were asleep.
Kate left town and the kids again at 6:30 am on Wednesday (3/10) morning before the kids woke up, and returned sometime overnight on Saturday (3/13.) She’s supposedly starting dance rehearsals again on Sunday at her house with Tony.
The kids spent their Spring Break cooped up in the house with nannies instead of taking a trip with Kate as promised.

Tension and diva tendencies being displayed by Kate and Tony.
Tony was an hour late to rehearsal yesterday so Kate kept him waiting today while she ran errands. When she got home, he left a few minutes later for almost an hour.
Kate used the boys as props today for photos to prove she’s a great mom. Paps missed her.
Tony was followed by a pap when he left the house and he stopped to talk to him. The paps love Tony saying what a great guy he is.
Tony said he spoke to Kate about being nicer to the paps, telling her “they’re just doing their job.”
Two nannies at the house today with the kids who are still on Spring break.
Second nanny loaded up Mady and Cara and took them somewhere.
Two nannies were at the house this morning when I arrived. Judy and a new nanny in a Jeep Grand Cherokee. The DWTS people got to the house at 10:30 am and entered through the basement entrance around the back of the house. Tony arrived at 10:55 am, closely followed by the paps who shot him early at his hotel.
Kate was bothered by Tony being late yesterday. She’s very anal about time and being on time. You can set your watch by Kate’s schedule and when Tony kept her standing around waiting for him to show up, she became very annoyed. Rehearsal was supposed to start at 11 am today but Kate decided to give a little payback and she went out shopping at 10:30, saying “let’s see how he likes standing around waiting.”
She took the three boys along with her as props for the waiting paps to show that she’s a great mother. Kate has been reading the tabloids and a sitter told me that the US Weekly stories the past two weeks have her pissed.
Kate took the boys with her to run errands while her dance team waited at the house. They went to UPS for mail, the bank in Shillington, Target and the Giant grocery store before finally returning to the house at 12:15 pm. Aaden, Colin and Joel each carried a small bag inside while Kate had two large, white plastic bags in each hand. Kate came out a second time to the car to get her mail, which included several boxes and two bags of letters, etc. A new nanny came out and brought the rest of her things in the house.
Tony arrived back at the house at 1:45 pm, waving to me and the paps as he pulled in the front gate. He parked the car and went inside and they’ve all been inside presumably dancing since then.

Kate’s sister from Ohio is staying with her at the house to help with the kids.
Judy is at the house helping out today even though all eight kids are in school.
Kate and Tony were dancing at the house today.
Judy dropped the kids off and picked them up at the bus stop.
Kate was livid and could barely control her temper as the judges were speaking to her after her poor performance.
Kate thinks the judges know nothing and she did much better than they said.
Kate’s sister from Ohio is staying at the house with Kate, helping with the kids and with the chores. She got here on Tuesday morning in her pickup truck. She’s pretty rugged and told xxxxxxx that “the paparazzi better not even think about asking me any questions.” Kate has hardly spent any time with the kids at all since she’s been home. Kate’s sister and two nannies have been at the house with them since Kate returned from LA.
Kate stayed inside all day today and didn’t run any errands. Tony arrived at the house at 1:30 pm carrying a tray of Starbucks coffee for himself, Kate and crew. Kate kept them waiting in the basement until 2:15 pm while she stayed upstairs in her room doing God knows what. Tony is losing patience with Kate and her attitude and doesn’t seem as happy as he was when he first came to the house. There weren’t many smiles or much small talk today between Kate and Tony. They kept it strictly professional. Kate’s very nervous now after seeing how good the other dancers were compared to her and she’s determined to work even harder than she has been. She was livid and could barely control her temper as the judges were speaking to her after her first dance. She wanted to go right back at them like they do sometimes on American Idol with Simon but Tony sensed it and was squeezing her hand to calm her down.
Kate now hates the two male judges and thinks they don’t know what the Hell they’re talking about. She thinks they tried to humiliate her with that ‘shopping cart’ remark and can’t wait to blow them away and put them in their place with her next dance. She said she was just nervous and can dance so much better than she did. She’s also a little bit pissed off at Tony for giving her a false sense of how well she was doing. He’s always so positive about Kate’s dancing. Maybe he should keep it a little more real with her and let her know what she’s doing wrong and fix it for next time.
Tony was still at the house at 9 pm tonight, along with a nanny and Kate’s sister. The basement lights were still on so it looks like they’re stepping it up to longer days of rehearsing.

Kate left the house before the kids woke up today while Judy and a second nanny stayed with them. Mady and Cara didn’t go to school today.
Kids forced to stay inside all day because Kate doesn’t want them photographed without her – so she looks like she’s with them when she’s home.
Tony wasted his morning at his hotel. Kate scheduled dance rehearsal today from 3-6 pm. Tony suggested they dance all day and they got into an argument!
DWTS crew arrived at 2:41 pm. Tony arrived at 3:07.
TLC person at the house meeting with Kate this afternoon.
Kate had the pool man at the house today to clean and open the pool.
Kate left the house this morning at 6:15 am before the kids woke up. She didn’t say where she was going and nobody was here that early to follow her. She was away from home until 1:40 pm when she finally pulled in the driveway followed by the paparazzi that were waiting for her nearby.
The tups don’t have school on Thursdays but Kate kept Maddie and Cara home today too for some reason. Kate gave strict instructions to the nannies to keep them inside all day. “Under no circumstances are they to go outside and have their picture taken!” xxxxx told me that Kate wants to make sure that the kids aren’t photographed without her so it looks like she’s always with them when she’s at home. She’s mad at Kate because “the kids were begging to go out all day and when Kate came home, all she had to do was to go outside for five minutes with them and be photographed and then they could stay out and play.” “She’s such a f-ing bitch!”
Tony was at his hotel until he left to go to the Gosselin house at 2:45 pm. He arrived at 3:07 pm.
A twenty-something guy in a gold car with New Jersey plates came to the house at 1:55 and went in through the basement. One of the paps says he’s a PA (production assistant) from TLC. He stayed for an hour and left just before 3 pm.

Tony and crew arrived at the Gosselin house for a 10 am start time.
Kate left the house within five minutes of Tony leaving and went to have a mani/pedi at Planet Nails in Wyomissing.
Kate smiled and talked to the paps today after her hour-and-a-half pampering session.
Judy dropped kids off at the bus stop and picked them up and stayed at the house all day.
The ladies at Kate’s supermarket know me pretty well and when I checked in today for an update, they told me that they’ve taken to calling the shopping carts Kate Gosselins, after the judges remarks when scoring Kate’s first dance last week. They yell to the cart boys “go bring in the Kate Gosselins” and everybody gets a big laugh.
Tony and the DWTS crew arrived at the house within minutes of each other this morning for a 10 am start time. Tony brought his usual tray of Starbucks drinks to give everybody an energy jolt.
Tony’s a high-energy guy who wants to dance all day and night to prepare for the next show and he’s getting frustrated with Kate’s schedule of pampering and only dancing for three or four hours at a time.
Tony and crew left the house a few minutes before two and Kate was right out the door behind them. She drove like a bat out of Hell through the winding country roads and down into town to go to Planet Nails & Tans for an hour-and-a-half manicure and pedicure. She was drinking water and eating an apple when she arrived wearing her workout clothes and black hat. She looked very happy and upbeat and actually smiled and interacted with the three paparazzi who were shooting and videotaping her as she walked from the salon to her car. One of the paps told her that it’s been reported that she’s lost a lot of weight from dancing and she replied “I’ll take that!”
I spoke to a woman who was in Planet Nails while Kate was inside and she said she was laughing and having a great time in there talking about DWTS and how hard it is for her and how hard she’s working. “Kate sure loves to talk about herself. I didn’t hear her mention the eight kids though. That’s sad.”
Judy once again took the kids to school in the morning and picked them up afterward. Kate was at the house both in the morning and afternoon but had other things going on that were obviously more important than her kids.

Steve Neild and his wife brought Kate a present for her 35th birthday which is on Sunday 3/28.
Kate and Tony rehearsed from 9:30 to 12:30 today before heading to LA.
Gina Neild watched the kids toda
y while Kate danced and stayed at the house alone with them after Steve and Kate left in a limo.
Kate took her Land Cruiser to get detailed. Called police to keep paparazzi away.
Jon is due at the house tomorrow for three days of custody while Kate’s in LA.
Tony and the DWTS people arrived at the house just before 9:30 this morning. Judy was at the house helping Kate with the kids in the morning but kept them in the house the entire time.
Steve and Gina Neild arrived in their Ford Explorer around 8:30 today carrying what looked like a present for Kate. Tomorrow is her 35th birthday. Steve seemed surprised and angry to see the paparazzi camped in front of the house so early. He glared at the group as he was entering through the front gate. Gina didn’t even look over at them.
Kate and Tony rehearsed until 12:30 when he and the crew packed up and left the house. Shortly after they left, Kate and Steve left in their own cars, followed closely by the paps. They drove to a local collision/car detailing shop in Wernersville where Kate was met by a Spring Township policeman who made sure to keep the paps away. They took pictures and were quickly removed. The officer told them it was private property and they had to leave immediately. A man from the Toyota dealership where Kate gets her Land Cruiser serviced was there at the shop to meet Kate and get her squared away. Kate left her car and drove back to the house with Steve.
Gina Neild brought the kids outside to play and they ran around like they haven’t been outside in a month. She stood nearby watching over them as they played with their scooters and bicycles and just generally ran around enjoying the fresh air. They didn’t seem bothered by yet another person watching them while their mom was busy doing something else. It’s a normal part of their lives by now.
A limo arrived at the house around 1 pm and sat in the driveway waiting for over an hour. Finally Kate, Steve and Gina started bringing their bags out and loading them in the car. They had the limo move across the driveway and up to the front door as close as possible to cut off the view from the paps. Gina gave Steve and Kate a big hug before waving goodbye as the limo drove down the driveway and off the property, followed by the paps.
