Breaking News: Kate Gosselin’s Brother Slams Her In Hearing On Child Labor Laws

Apr 14, 2010 by BabySwags

Kate Gosselin’s brother Kevin Kreider and his wife Jodi told Pennsylvania lawmakers that the eight Gosselin children have been subject to unfair conditions during the production of the TLC show Jon & Kate Plus 8 in a hearing Wednesday, regarding the state’s child labor laws, and whereas it pertains to reality TV shows.

The kids, according to the Kreiders, were burdened with rooms overloaded with TV production equipment and as many as three crew members present for two to three days at a time. Their privacy was also compromised, the Kreiders said, as the kids were taped during their potty training (even without their parents present) for clips that were subsequently uploaded to the Internet.

One jarring anecdote the Kreiders shared was that “the children were told it was Christmas Eve and Christmas morning when it wasn’t, so that the camera crew would capture genuine reactions. They were only told the truth after the filming ended.  They were told they did it for the show. The children stated directly to use that they felt very confused and were upset over this event.”

The Kreiders also said that because of their fame from the show, the kids have been unnecessarily subject to “disturbing and threatening comments posted on newspaper blogs or TV social media formats.”

KIM KARDASHIAN’S REVENGE BODY

Apr 14, 2010 by BabySwags

“I work out to feel good about myself — and sure, it doesn’t hurt if someone notices.” – KIM KARDASHIAN TO LIFE & STYLE ON HER NEW BODY

Looking good is the best revenge — especially after a breakup! “I’ve lost five pounds in five days,” Kim Kardashian, who recently split from New Orleans Saints star Reggie Bush, told Life & Style at a Bravada activewear launch party in LA on April 7. “I really wanted to just buckle down and get rid of the tiny bit of excess weight I was carrying.” She also managed to make a statement, sending a message that in the wake of her break-up — and amidst rumors that Reggie had cheated on her — she has more confidence that ever. “It gave me a lot of confidence with my body,” Kim confides to Life & Style. “I work out to feel good about myself — and sure, it doesn’t hurt if someone notices.”

While Reggie spent April 9 and 10 in Las Vegas getting close to country star Jessie James, Kim hit the beach and showed him precisely what he was missing! “I used to be so shy and insecure walking around in a bikini doing shoots and things,” Kim’s told Life & Style.  “It’s amazing how much better I feel and I was really proud of myself for just sticking to my diet.”  To lose the pounds, Kim cut out all carbs and focused on eating lean proteins, leafy greens, fruit and stuck to her QuickTrim routine.  The reality star was also able to add some variety to her workout regimen without too much effort. “I made sure that in addition to my gym workout, I did freestyle cardio outdoors,” explains Kim. “I went running or made sure I did as much walking as I could. I really kept active.””

Cameron Diaz and Alex Rodriguez raised eyebrows when they flirted at the Creative Artists Agency Super Bowl party in Miami and now their relationship has developed into much more, an insider close to the New York Yankees slugger tells Life & Style. “A-Rod’s with Cameron,” the insider reveals to Life & Style. “They’ve been keeping it quiet, but they’re totally together.”

When the photographers weren’t around, “they were all over each other at the CAA party,” says an onlooker. “Cameron had her hands all over Alex’s back, and they were dancing together. They also left the party together that night.”  As long as they’re enjoying themselves, Cam and her man are in no rush to acknowledge their relationship. “Alex recently arranged to fly Cameron to Miami,” a second insider tells Life & Style. “He used to fly Kate Hudson there all the time, and no one knew they were dating for a long while. Alex is very discreet.”

Exclusive Excerpts from Kate Gosselin’s Tell-All Book

Apr 7, 2010 by BabySwags

“She’s not the sweet, humble woman she’s been pretending to be.”  — an insider to Life & Style

Ex-husband Jon Gosselin is heading back to court for primary custody of his eight children on the basis that Kate is neglecting the kids. Now Life & Style can reveal she’s exploiting their children more than ever in her new book.

Life & Style has exclusively obtained a copy of Kate Gosselin’s new book, entitled I Just Want You to Know: Letters to my children on Love, Faith and Family. In the tome, Kate pens a deeply personal letter to each of her eight children. Among the secrets, Life & Style can reveal Kate finally owns up to bullying her ex-husband. “Much of what I said to Jon was unwarranted,” she admits. “I could have watched what I said better, I could have guarded my tongue better. I wanted to communicate better, but I often failed.” Besides not asking for help and berating Jon, Kate writes that she didn’t take enough responsibility for day-to-day planning for the family. “I also didn’t focus on the fact that much of the responsibility for our children, the finances, the schedules and the decisions about the future was on me.”

In her letter to son Aaden, she apologizes for taking away his dad. “I do not possess the skills to father you,” she writes. “But I will do everything I can to show you the way.” And she even apologizes for ruining her once perfect family. Writing to son Collin, Kate cruelly implies that the 6 -year-old has a fear of abandonment — and that her split with Jon has hit him the hardest. “I will never leave you,” she writes to him. “I know that all the recent events in our family structure have greatly upset you, maybe you most of all. When I leave for work, I will always come back.”

On page after page, Kate recounts in vivid detail each child’s suffering because of the divorce. However, Kate doesn’t seem concerned about how her kids will react to the book. “She’s back in diva mode,” an insider confirms to Life & Style. “She’s not the sweet, humble woman she’s been pretending to be.”
