Tummy tuck or not...she looks great in a swim suit after eight kids!

I completely agree. If I were her I would have gotten the tummy tuck too, no one can blame her for that.

It's great to see the family, I mean Kate and the multiples working, I mean vacationing. Nobody looks relaxed, no one is enjoying themselves, it's soo sad. I hope the kids aren't scarred for life from their mom cashing in on them. They need to be in front of the camera, whether they like it or not because mom needs to maintain her luxurious lifestyle.

Her bellybutton is super high.

Such a sad situation (for the kids)...really hoped Pop wouldn't start posting pics of this family.

As much as we all can't stand her crazy attitude, we have to admit that she look great in a bikini for having 8 kids. Tara Reed has no kids, and her stomach looks horrendous!

She is not a celebrity.

Who wears drop earrings to the beach?

If it wasn't for her having the sextuplets, she wouldn't have a free tummy tuck.
Hah!

I really don't like her one bit but I agree with others - I too would want a tummy tuck after 8 kids!

Kate looks great in her bikini. I think there are a lot of people that are very jealous of her.She is a supper mom and a remarkable person.Why is it that people can't see the good they have done for their children and the joy that people have had in seeing the kids grow. Yes Jon has made a mistake.There are not to many men out there who hasn't.They say Kate acts like a movie star.Why not she has the looks why hide it, just because she has eight kids.They could have folded when six children were born and went on welfair but instead thet found a way to make it work.It upsets all the tax payer to see them doing good.Judge not lest ye be judged.

She is not only exploiting herself but her kids as well. She is completely into herself! As a mother of 4, I can tell you that if I were at the beach I wouldn't be wearing drop earings and my hair wouldn't be perfect! Sure she looks great after so many kids, but she can afford to because of the $ she gets to exploit her family! I feel sorry for Jon and the kids. She is 100% into herself! And a total crab-ass as well!

If she was such a Super Mom of the year why isn't she smiling, having eye contact with any of the kids or building sand castles or playing ball, etc. with any.. at least one of those kids!!?? In previous episodes, she has made it perfectly clear that she HATES the beach! Why go again, because it's the beginning of summer and that's what all the celebrities are doing!!! She's posing, instead of enjoying a day with her kids. Pathetic. She knows teh paparazzi are there. Why subject her kids to that right now??? Enough of the trips and super cultural field trips.. why can't she just go to Chuck E. Cheese like any regular mom?? Probably cause the paparazzi wouldn't be allowed in!

mmm hmm, seems like kate spends more time being vain then caring for her kids, I don't like how she's gotten so shallow.

I don't think she looks that good. You'd think she look better after a tummy tuck. She looks really pissed off in all these photos.

I think she went to the beach/vacation to get away from the paps. I'm from nc and trust me the beaches around here are very private, so they must be really on her tail. If she wanted publicity she would of went elsewhere.

def not blaming her for the tummy tuck.... i'd want one too after having a million kids at once.

She really looks good in a bikini! Compared to her just after she had the twins to now, she's made a total transformation!

She looks good for having 8 children. Belly button is not that high. LOL. I went and looked in the mirror and mine is about that high. The cut of the suit makes it look high. You can still tell she had a C-section by the (hate to say it) fold, wrinkle on her stomach. Can't get rid of that completely. If I was 20 years younger I would wear a bikini and could still get away with it now at 50. I just do not condone what she is doing with her family on a so-called reality show.

I wonder if she is as bossy & condescending/judgemental to her children as she is to her husband. No wonder he isn't there. I wouldn't be either. She is one of THE most annoying women I've ever seen. I refuse to watch the show (I've seen it like 2X). I think she looooves the attention she is getting--Please don't post about them here. She is not a celeb!!

Not hating on the tummy tuck one bit, but she does look like she's posing here...not actually enjoying the beach with her kids. The dangly earrings, perfectly coifed hair - sure you weren't getting ready with the paps in mind kate?

Wow, the day you start posting this family on Pop is the day I call this blog quits. Stop paying attention to this family, they're not celebrities nor is it interesting to watch a family disintegrate on air and exploite their children in the process. Leave Lil to post the non-stop Gosselin coverage.

Kate wanted to get away from the paps and she felt an ISLAND in NC would work but they found her and took her picture getting of off the ferry and posted it. After that the paps went on a little vacation to Bald Island NC. Great photos and Kate looks great. She and the children NEED a bodyguard. There is nothing wrong with that. I notice she always has her wedding band on.

Jon’s gets caught in photos with other women, no kids outside of BARS. I vote Kate. She is better parent and the BREAD winner of the family. She gives speeches, writes books.

Jon drives his 2 SEAT sports car. I've got 3 kids and my husband does not drive a car that he cannot take his family along in. Jon's first priority is Jon. He is a child.

why do people wear dangly earrings (and other jewelry) to the beach?

She and the children NEED a bodyguard -
If people like Reese Witherspoon can bring their children out without bodyguards, Kate Gosselin does not NEED a bodyguard.

She is better parent -
I'm sorry but from season 1 all the way to season 4, Jon is the one who gets them up in the morning, dresses them, bathes them, makes the beds etc. Kate sits on her throne and screams at Jon. Jon was the one who was actually with the kids on their actual 5th birthday while Kate was parading around the country and crying to tabloids. Jon is far from being a saint, but neither is Kate who does not do more than him

BREAD winner of the family -
The children are the breadwinners of the family. They are the ones who raked the dough in. If not for the kids, Kate would not be enjoying this "career" as she loves to call it.

Jon’s gets caught in photos with other women, no kids outside of BARS -
You only mention Jon's alleged affair. But you completely bypass the rumors swirling around betwen Kate and her bodyguard, who yes, is travelling with them in place of Jon

i have five children and am in good shape i can only fantasize about a tummy tuck...my children are 23,17,11,6,and 4. plus my daughter is married with 2 of her own. so my time is spent being a real person...what a luxurious life her children have afforded her. am i jealous, probably who wouldn't want to be pampered. but i'm a nice person in a loving relationship with my husband and children,and i can't see how she justifies her behavior.
P.S. she does look miserable

for some reason, her body reminds me of a troll doll.

I think Kate Gosselin is a great person and a very beautiful woman.
I don't think she is exploiting her children.
She is a nice, class person.
Kate has class and integrity.
Kate looks fantastic after having 8 kids and Kate looks awesome in her bikini.
I'm single and I'm available, my dream is to win the lottery.
But if I ever asked Kate to marry me, she would marry for love not money, she has immeasurable class, dignity, and integrity and she can't be bought.
Kate you are a very beautiful woman and you are a very beautiful person.
All the best to you and your family, always.
Love,
Rob

Kate looks great in a bikini.
