"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 about their kids' well-being, couldn't they have been in couples therapy for the last year, working out these relationship issues so it didn't have to come to this?
Those poor little kids.

Who?
It's bad enough these brat kids will be complaining to their $120 therapist in 5 years but that everybody else is crying about is ridiculous.
These kids don't have to fight WWII, or the Civil Rights movements-- who cares.
TLC gets stuck with the dirty diapers in the end .. and the re-runs.
What next?
I suggest for those who pray we need to pray for the kids....I have concerns about kids growing up like they have
As for him - he needs to get out the "booze earring motorcycle girlfriend" phase and act like a father to his kids even if his wife is a harpy from hell.
Don’t worry, they will replace this show with Octomom’s show.
FWIW, Kate spanks her kids, too.
Jon: I am only 32 and my whole life is in front of me. (Get really buddy. You have eight kids to care for - man the hell up!)
Kate: I can’t believe this is happening. (Shut up! Maybe if you had honored your husband, he wouldn’t be cheating. Just shut up!)
On the spanking.....I don’t know why she waited so long. They all need a smack on the behind.
Awww spanks her kids. Guess what Clarence Thomas, Julius Caesar, George Washington all got spanked.
If they'd been thinking of their kids, neither one would have been so selfish and narcissistic to *step out* on the other. Frankly, if they'd EVER thought of their kids, they never would have done this stupid TV show in the first place!
I spank my kids. What’s your point?
He actually said he was “excited” about “this new chapter in my life.” Excited??? His family is falling apart around him; if he took his job as “father” seriously, he would not be excited about the future.
I can barely imagine the stress of 8x little kids would have on a marriage, then ontop of it your every move watched by the camera and air before the public. Wouldn’t be easy.
Having said that, it was their coice to take the money and live in the public eye. You can’t play the blame game and then keep taking the money.
Own up, buck up, and shut up.
Point still remains - man the hell up Jon!
I spank mine, too, until they reach the age of reason.
My point is that money does not make a man rich.
I hope Jon gets huge Manimony! He deserves it!
My wife watches the show and occasionally I catch it.
My impression:
Kate’s a ball-breaking harpy, for whom there isn’t such a thing as stooping too low. 90% of the stuff in the show is her giving him a hard time about stupid stuff.
Jon’s a narcissistic wuss. He needs to Man-up, become a Father and more importantly, assert himself. Going out, getting an earring, a motorcycle and a girlfriend isn’t exactly what he needed to do.
The kids are a bunch of spoiled little brats. Sorry, but 5-year olds do NOT wear bibs for meals.
