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.

Bridge to Nowhere–Top 10 Reasons for Sarah Palin’s Resignation

So Sarah Palin is resigning as Alaska’s Governor. So far, we have no indication why, but we have to assume the reason will come to light in the coming days.

Could any of these be her reason:

1. Wants to pursue playing the victim fulltime?

2. She’s Mark Sanford’s soul mate?

3. Entering a facility to handle her narcissistic personality disorder?

4. Overcome with grief over Michael Jackson’s death?

5. She is a gay American?

6. Torrid affair with Joe the Plumber?

7. Torrid affair with Jon Gosselin?

8 Torrid affair with Kate Gosselin!?!

9. Has converted and wants to replace John Travolta as posterboy for Scientology?

10. Wants to pioneer the practice of attachment grandparenting?

UPDATE: looks like it might just be (yawn) plain old corruption and embezzlement

I TOLD you it was all Jon’s fault

Remember when I said the Jon and Kate marriage meltdown was all Jon’s fault? Well the folks at Jezebel put together a small video showing the cracks in Jon & Kate’s marriage.  Notice how Jon will not even look at Kate!  He is such a child. Kate is bossy and shrewish, but he just pouts. For crying out loud, act like a man.

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.
