Jon & Kate Minus 8?

Posted May 30th 2009 10:20AM by TMZ Staff

Jon and KateTLC is pooh-poohing a story that "Jon & Kate Plus 8" will 86 the kiddies and send them off to Switzerland.

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review is running a story that the kids will be shipped off to boarding school and the show will be renamed "Jon & Kate Unleashed." According to the story, the Gosselin kids will make "occasional guest appearances" but the show will become "something sexy -- and perhaps even a little sinister."

Here's the deal. The story quotes Executive Producer Benny Temberton. But we contacted TLC and they say the story is bogus and they've never even heard of Benny. We checked -- B.T. is not in the credits.

2. THE CHILDREN WOULD PROBABLY ENJOY THE PEACE AND QUIET OF NOT HAVING CAMERAS UP THEIR *SSES ALL DAY LONG, ALL THEIR LIFE, WHILE 'MOMMY DEAREST' IS GONE FOR WEEKS AT A TIME ANYWAY -- FLYING AROUND WITH HER 'BODYGUARD' -- AND THEIR DAD'S SPENDING HIS TIME AT BARS AND WITH 'BABE.'

3. the Tribune review is a right wing publication, take everything they print with a grain of salt.

8. The kids would be better off at a boarding school in Switzerland, as far away from their idiotic parents as possible.
But why is this newspaper printing completely unfounded retarded stuff?

9. they should have a show called "Jon and Kate Free Again!", where they sell the 8 kids to a russian orphanage and they just lay around the house naked and doing a ton of coke and having orgies with hookers.

I would watch that show.

10. Hey TMZ I saw John taking a dump in Kates mouth would you like to report that like its actaully important?

11. Those poor kids -- I don't watch this travesty any more -- I did twice, and that was enough.

I'd watch it if was "Jon and Kate Duke It Out While the Kids Are Safely Off in Switzerland -- Having Some Semblance of a Quiet, Sane Life," though.

12. Kate is the biggest rag ever. What a B. No wonder she has managed to chase Jon off. Kate is a total wreck. She needs to have her head shrinked!

13. ok, this is soooo crazy !!!!

I bet if we all gave it some "rational" thoughts, it only seems likely that it will be..."KATE"

it is pretty clear that jon doesn't want anypart of this. just let him go and spend his money. maybe he will go to Switzerland, with the kids.

14. I WISH this were true -- getting those children away from Crazed Kate and Lame Jon (both of whom seem to be around less and less anyway), and into SOME sort of stable environment, would be the best thing for them at this point.

Posted at 11:12AM on May 30th 2009 by That Would Be the Best Thing in the World for the Kids

15. US Magazine is reporting that other mom with 8 plus 6 kids has absolutely signed on for a "quasi-reality" t.v. series. Described as a series of specials chronicling the events in her kids lives and told from her point of view . My expensive, brand new, high end HD T.V. is now absolute trash.
