It Looks Like Kate Might Be In Trouble

Let’s look at some laws, shall we?  In the state of Pennsylvania, children between the ages of seven and eighteen are permitted to work on plays, movies, TV shows, and other similar forms of media.  Children under the age of seven can do movies, but there’s no similar exemption in the law for television shows. And guess whose sextuplets are only six?

Republican congressman Thomas P. Murt is getting Pennsylvania’s attorney general to look into the Gosselin situation, because “those permits were granted even though the law does not provide for them.”

This isn’t the first time that the Gosselins have been accused of breaking child labor laws, but this time the investigation might actually force TLC to cancel the show if the permits are found to be invalid.  The real issue is clarifying within the law whether a reality show still counts as a television show since the children are just being filmed living their lives.

I think this may be a blessing in disguise.  I’ve not cared about the Gosselins for years, and this is the perfect excuse for them to disappear from the public eye.  Go gentle into that good night, Gosselins.  Please.

  • I’m afraid that nothing will get Kate Gosselin out of the public eye. Her kids are the best thing about her. Too bad they’re getting royally screwed by their crazy parents.

    If nobody busted them for filming their children continuously from before they were born, why will this technicality be respected now?
    TLC will probably find a way around it (possible campaign donation done in a way to hide it?).

    And Kate will keep exploiting her children, even if she has to wait one more year to do it.

    And Jon will keep allowing it, since it’s the only way he can avoid being sued by TLC for breach of contract. They seem to have had no problem shutting him up completely.

    They’re just one big manipulative and manipulated family.

    • So Hector- I take it your Kate Gosselin’s Agent. Cool…just wanted to see how you knew about Kate’s Contract and we didn’t? Before blabbing about someone’s contract you don’t know about…i would suggest you kindly either for legal advice on an Acteresses Contract. Putting down TLC is not a good way to go…because of what you written here..Both Kate Gosselin and TLC now have the right to come after you for your misinformation. This is why i don’t comment on something i have no idea about.

  • i have to agree with Hector (above) – we may never be free of these leeches. I actually watched about 20 minutes of the show last night for the first time. kate is really unwatchable! She is humorless and cold; what producer ever thought she was watchable. Her children are now old enough to play to the camera, so you know that anything they do they are doing because someone ‘told’ them too…or they think they are cute. could the show possibly be getting ratings? sigh..

  • I don’t know who I hate more Kate Gosselin or Danielle Staub. They are both absolutely despicable. I wish they would take the same doomed flight….just saying.

  • Unfortunately Kate will wiggle her way out of this one too. Crabtown, if Danielle Straub is from New Jersey Housewives, I agree!

  • Momster, I just read your blog above and I was just wondering how you ever made it through 20 min. watching that show. I made it to about 10 min. It was the one with the chickens. Kate is such a phony bologna she is just sickening!! Ya, the kids are adorable but she better be saving some of that cash for therapy for them. Although, she’ll probably blame Jon for all of that. Not saying that he was an angel, but he really didn’t have a chance.

    • I think the best thing that could happen is for this show to be taken off the air…….Kate is just a money hungry bitch…I fail to understand how people can watch this crap……………….

    • She has only had 1 marriage and 1 guy. Just Jon. The meaning of tramp can be replaced with the word slut. A slut has more then 2 or more guys. Before using words you don’t the meaning off. Try checking the dictionary.

  • STOP BUTTING IN PEOPLE LIFE ASSHOLE
    BITCH
    FUCKIN HATE YOU
    HOE
    LAME WEBSITE
    IM GONNA BLOG ABOUT YOUR WEBSITE AND THE BITCHY THINGS YOU WRITE!
    FUCK YOU AND FUCK ALL THE PEOPLE WHO COMMENTED FUCK YOU ASSHOLES!

    • You need to watch your language. How rude you are.
      This is a GOSSIP site.
      And why are you reading it if you do not like it?

      Shame on you for your vile language rant. Please take it elsewhere.

  • hahahahaha Samantha = Kate Gosselin
    I bet that stupid fame whole comes on sites like this and counters all the nasty shit written about her…Samantha aka Kate Fugly Gosselin you do suck, your show sucks, nobody likes you and you WILL NEVER HAVE A MAN…the only reason your body guard stays with you is you PAY HIM…maybe if you pay him more he’ll even put a bag over your ugly ass face and fuck you!

  • First its not breaking labor laws to have your kids earn their own living. Second…this is what happens to you when you are overworked underpaid and underappreciated. My condolences go their family! This mother does the best she can….has anyone of you had 8 kids? Then back off. She is all woman.

  • Have any one of you tried raising eight children on a nurse’s salary?
    She now has to pay sky high legal fees, thanks to Jon and she’s trying to earn money to put EIGHT kids through college. Maybe she’s a bit controlling, but Jon knew that going in. At the very least, she has stuck with the kids while on the other hand, Jon has had
    multiple affairs. And if you’re going to be stupid enough to have an
    affair, for God’s sake stay out of the limelight, but no . . . despite what he says, he likes being in the limelight. He’s been trying to start a reality TV show of his own, with Lindsey Lohan’s father. ALL
    the kids have the option of not doing a show, if they don’t want to.
    Unless you know the family, know the facts, know the situations
    they’re in; then you don’t know what they’re going through.

    Know your facts before you start being critical of someone you don’t know.
