Jon and Kate Without the Hate?

So radaronline.com reports that Jon and Kate Gosselin temporarily put aside their differences to get together with the kids for the Fourth of July. That’s nice. I just wish Jon weren’t setting off fireworks in their yard. Very dangerous! Leave it to the pros.

Captain Obvious, Breakup Edition

So surprise, surprise: Jon & Kate Gosselin are getting divorced.

Shocker.

Except not.

As one of my friends pointed out, you could see this coming from the very first episode. In my opinion, yes, Kate can be a shrew, but Jon really leaves her no choice. I never felt like he acted like a responsible adult man at any point during these shows–he was always the buddy, never the parent. I know I can’t imagine how hard it to be in their situation, but since they put it out on TV, well, I get to judge.

And in other news, Billy Joel and his child bride, former Top Chef host Katie Lee Joel, are separating. Call me a crazy, but when a 55 year old marries a 23 year old, I just don’t expect the marriage to last long. Apparently this took even longer than expected, as apparently Katie Lee was dating another guy and calling him her “boyfriend” for quite some time now. Let’s just hope Billy doesn’t get drunk and go crashing into anyone to deal with his loneliness.
