Video: Kate Gosselin Post-Divorce: "I'm a Wild Woman!"
Kate Gosselin was in a jovial mood during an appearance (via satellite) on the Jay Leno Show Friday.
Earlier that day, a Pennsylvania judge finalized her divorce from Jon Gosselin, and the reality mom, 34, told Jay Leno she's doing "good."
Look back on Jon and Kate's biggest battle and other breakdowns of 2009
When Jay Leno asked about her immediate plans now that she's single, Gosselin teased, "I'm a wild woman, Jay! I'm baking cookies with the kids."

Her attorney Mark Momjian told Radaronline.com that Kate will receive "considerable financial support" from Jon, although he declined to specify how much. "The child support goes from him to her and not the other way around," Momjian said.

VOMIT!!! EVERYTIME I READ ABOUT FAKE KATE!!! TEAM JON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But I must laugh - Kate's extensions on the front of this week's People Magazine are pretty funny. Is there a reason the color is so off?
jborange, I was going to comment before and will now. You make the most sense of anyone on this page. Instead of slamming others who are not in agreement w/ your thoughts, you just state your thoughts. I've tried that and ending up getting called offensive names. You are correct: Kate's personal life is her own and her business. Unfortunately, a lot of it she puts out there herself. Same with Jon...what he does in his personal life is his business. It's funny how he gets slammed constantly and Kate can almost do no wrong. The kids are the most important part of this equation and I hope they get the help they need from what their parents put them through, starting with making them "work" at such a young age. But, the past is the past and I hope they can look towards the future in peace. I don't care for Kate as a person from seeing all of the shows but that really doesn't matter as she is not a part of my life. The kids will be missed by tons of viewers, but it's time for them to be kids, for a change. Kate's show will fail on its own and she won't have anyone else to blame. As for Jon, I hope he does something worthwhile and continues to be there for his kids, as he has been since the beginning. That was 100% evident by his actions on J&K+8.
Kate's personal life is her business,and that's not what's important right now.What matters right now is the emotional well being of those 8 precious children.In Kate's latest interview with People magazine,she told them that she is putting the kids in counseling starting this month.The therapist will come to the house to work with the kids.I was so glad when I read that.I still hope that Kate will also go into therapy herself and deal with her personal issues.And I hope that she and Jon will continue with the arbitration and learn how to have a more civilized relationship as parents than they did as a couple.Because regardless of what Kate or anyone else thinks about him at this point,he is still the father of her children,and they need to show each other more respect than they did during the marriage.Hopefully both Jon and Kate will learn that there is a right way and a wrong way to express whatever grievances they have,and resolve their conflicts.Kate also said in her interview that she is wiping the slate clean in the new year.I hope she will be true to her word.And I hope Jon will also start over this year and think before he does and says things,and keep being there for his kids.And now that he's broken up with Hailey he needs to avoid being in a serious relationship again until he and Kate have settled their personal and parenting issues and have closure,and until the kids are settled and their emotional needs are taken care of.
Wonder how many Team Kate players would abandon her then when she comes out. That would be hysterical to watch! Betcha lots of those folks claiming what a great mother will change their tune if she comes out (which she won't. She'd be too scared to). After reading what folks have to say about Adam Lambert, Rose O'Donnell, etc., it's clear to me some people aren't living in 2010. Maybe US can dig a little deeper on Jamie and publish HER background - now THAT would be a story!
Isn't time Katie Irene Kreider came out of the closet finally? Gawd, it is getting so obvious now about her sexual preference and her BFF. Trying to stifle the rumors by having Jamie speak out to the rags how Kate is lonely and will some day find a man is laughable, only protecting Kate/TLC's brand and collecting some dough for Jamie.
Kate also mentioned in an interview that she currently does not have any contact with her side of the family.And Jon said in one of his interviews that Kate did not want to have contact with his side of the family nor did she want Jon to have contact with them.Jon also mentioned how close knit his family was.So when Kate started pushing their relatives away,I imagine that did not sit well with Jon.In the episode where they had their vow renewal in Hawaii,you could tell how happy Jon was to reconnect with his family,and the kids had the chance to get to know their paternal relatives. And in the episodes where the kids' aunt and uncle(Kate's sister and brother in law)would babysit,you could see how happy they were doing fun activities with their aunt and uncle and playing with their cousins.With that said,it's a new year now,and this is the time for Jon and Kate to make a new start as parents.I hope that Jon continues his private counseling,and in addition I hope that Kate will get therapy for her personal problems too.I also hope they will have a child psychologist counsel the children,or at least make sure the kids see their school psychologist(most schools have a psychologist and guidance counselors who are always available,especially if a student is going through a crisis).I also hope they will both make every effort to start setting a better example for the kids in order to undo some of the damage that was done.If Jon and Kate have to continue with the arbitrator to reopen the lines of communication in a healthy way so they can accomplish these things then so be it.But they both have to be willing to do whatever it takes to get things going in a more positive direction in 2010 and beyond.
It's unfair to blame the Gosselins' divorce on Jon alone.Even Kate has said in her interviews that it wasn't just Jon's behavior or any one thing that caused the breakdown of their marriage.She said there were many issues.And this was not the real Jon that we saw in 2009.What we saw was a man going through a messy ugly divorce from his verbally abusive and ungrateful wife who he had built up a lot of resentment and anger towards over the course of their marriage.There is no justification for the way Jon was acting this past year.Even though he had clearly had enough of Kate and the show,he did not handle the separation the right way.It was good that he got the show cancelled and took his kids off the air though.But there is also no justification for the way Kate treated him during the marriage. Whether it is the husband being verbally abusive to the wife or the wife being verbally abusive to the husband,it is still just as demeaning and hurtful.Kate told Jon off and put him down many times on camera, and who knows how many more times off camera.Then she would apologize later on,especially after she saw the footage of her tirades.But clearly it was ongoing during their marriage.When someone inflicts abuse of any kind on their partner,then apologizes,but then commits the same offense over and over again, that is an abusive pattern.That is unhealthy and dysfunctional.And the worst part is Kate's tirades happened in front of the kids.What kind of example are they setting for their kids when the kids see one parent being hostile and disrespectful,and the other parent being submissive and not defending themself.I would hate for the Gosselin kids to grow up thinking that this is normal to treat someone like that.I would also hate to see any of them end up in abusive relationships because of all the verbal abuse and arguments they witnessed.
Diana, I know I wouldn't do the same if I were her. I wouldn't pimp out my children to support us. I only had the number of children I could support. There was no need for an excessive amount of children if they couldn't be supported by their parents. Kate didn't go on welfare like most people who keep having too many kids. She made her kids work for their keep. Mother of the freakin' year! LOL
Who are you people to judge her, im sure you would do the same if you were in her place. And it's better than what Jon had planned to support his big family.
does anyone care anymore about this woman? (anyone beside Kate Gosselin herself, that is?) how could anyone agree to exploit their children on reality TV in the first place? she and jon have been losers from the get-go.
Marlene: That's what liars do! She has to keep up with all her lies so she uses all of those mannerisms to think things very slowly. She doesn't really need professional help to continue to be on a talk show...she needs therapy for her reality.
Kate, you always seem self-conscious on any show. You are always fiddling with your hair, your ear or your cue notes. Please get some professional help if you want to continue to be on a talk show. MD
Bang, bang - the witch is dead! One could only hope & PRAY that Kate vanishes from this earth...She's a waste of space and a lunatic. She'll do and say ANYTHING to make everyone else look bad so she comes up smelling like roses. She's a liar, through to the core, and that smell....? Well, she talks so much sh*t, her eyeballs and pretty soon her hair color will be completely brown. Ah yes - that's what that smell is!
Apparently, before Kate became famous, Medicaid paid for her nannies. The Associated Press reported in a story from 2005, "Kate Gosselin said she feels society has a responsibility to help with the children, since modern medicine promotes the use of fertility drugs, which can lead to multiple births." Kate didn't only bring the wickedness to the staff, she also treated her father like caca. When her father brought her cribs donated by his parishioners (he's a pastor), Kate threw them out. A family source (aka Jon) said, "They didn't match and Kate rejected them." Kate didn't miss a beat and she quickly responded to all these claims to People: "Everywhere you go you're being stalked, you're being followed – it's hell, on the cover of a magazine. It's so scary. It's like one of those movies where you have to change your identity and go underground. I've been saying, 'Let's find a country where our show doesn't air, and let's just go there until this all dies.' I have to laugh about this, or else I'll cry. It's a matter of, when will they stop?" The best part is when she talks about her kids: "I don't want them dragged into this. It kills me." Did she forget a little show called Jon & Kate Plus 8 that she signed them all up for? I love it when the pimp starts to shed crocodile tears. Why do I find Kate so hilarious?! An even better question is, does anybody ever fight back? It wouldn't be hard. All you have to do is all the ASPCA on her tortured possum hair, so they can throw a net over her head and drag her into a cage. Or better yet, just sprinkle some holy water on her and watch as she shrivels down into the sidewalk cracks.
Yuck Savanah, Jon in porno? I don't think so, but nothing would surprise me when it comes to him. I don't get how anyone could justify anything he does or has done. I am not a fan of either of them but I do have to side with Kate for the way she has handled her self during all of Jon's ' Drama '.
I don't think Jon or Kate started out looking like angels.But Kate admitted she wasn't always at her best behavior. However being Jonless appears to have made a difference in Kate, as it has in all the X's he leaves behind. They all seem better off without him. He appears to be passive aggressive and sets everyone else up to be the bad guy while he is the always victim. For the sake of his children I hope he grows up and takes responsibility for his action and behavior and not find excuses. He needs to step up and take blame for his faults. He needs to think about his childrens needs before his own like Kate does.
Jon was always pretending to be someone he wasn't. EVERYONE is now seeing the REAL JON. He is a SELFISH Childish wacky little man. He was treating Hailey badly with his mantrums. She left him, and we all know Kate suffered while she was with him in many ways. Jons actions ruined their marriage, not Kate's. Jon is REAPING his awards now. ONLY LOSERS WOULD TAKE SIDES WITH THE LOSER JON GOSSELIN.
