Kate Gosselin continued to enjoy her North Carolina vacation in another bikini earlier today with her kids. The controversy surrounding her relationship with Jon continued on last night's episode of Jon and Kate Plus 8, where Kate celebrated her birthday without her husband. The couple has been all over the weekly gossip magazine covers the past few weeks so, tell us — are you wrapped up in the Jon and Kate drama?

Yep! And I can't seem to get enough of it.
1wow look at that bod!! 8 kids? really?!
2yeh 8 kids and a TUMMY TUCK as well as her personal trainer. give credit only when it's due...
3kate looks great. all of these pix of kate w/o jon really make jon look bad. maybe she's giving him some space to see if he misses her and the kids. their life right now is very different from what he signed up for. she's obviously up for it, is he?
4Agree with Anonymous (for once). Her stomach is odd looking to me though, which is disappointing. I considered a tummy tuck to get rid of the stretch marks on my belly from a pregnancy, but I'm not sure I want it to look like that. Hrm.
5She sure looks very good - thanks to the tummy work (I want one). As far as the whole drama going on, I couldn't care less -they are getting what they signed up for. Sadly though, this involves 8 other souls -too small to protest being thrown in front of the public eye. I feel truly sorry for them.
6A tummy tuck won't get rid of stretch marks....just extra skin. And you'll always have a pretty noticable scar. Don't get me wrong, it makes a huge difference, but even after a tummy tuck your stomach will never be the same.
7I think Jon was not at Kate's birthday because she didn't want him there. Remember she is the camera hog, no one can get a word in edge wise she wants all of the attention on her, and when she says she is always here for her kids is crap! Her kids are her bankroll!
8She looks great. The tummy tuck did a great job considering the size her stomach was. It was HUGE!
And Jon is a fat, whining, loser who is mad that he got caught cheating. He would be nothing without Kate. Even if Kate didn't have the kids she would be sucessful in life because she does not feel sorry for herself but picks herself up and charges on. That's the kind of person she is. He sits back and blames everyone for everything (even holding down his job).
She should cut her losses and get rid of him. She is a beautiful person, wonderful mother and will make someone else a good wife someday.
9Jon & Kate are obnoxious! Please stop complaining about the invasion of privacy. When you sign up to have a camera crew document your life that is what you get! Are they from another planet? Have they never seen TV before?
10now if she'd only grow out the back of her hair.........
11nope - i don't pay attention to that stuff to be honest. i feel like if they weren't on a TV show then no one would know about this and make such a big deal.
12I read all the different articles that are surrounding them. I try not to, but I can't help it. I just think it is so sad. I have watched the show since the start and there lives and priorities are so different from when the show first started. I was really hoping that everything would work out with them, but it looks like the "Reality Show Curse" has taken its toll.
13P.S. Kate's a ball buster and Jon's a doormat. They're perfect for each other.
14I'm way more interested in this drama than I should be and I think that Kate is trying hard to look like the better parent even though she has mostly been absent doing her book tour with Jon at home being the day-to-day parent. Jon doesn't have a million pictures with them because he's usually at home. On the premiere, she said that one of her kids called her the baby sitter's name......not a good sign.
15She looks good, and she should get credit for it. She has 8 kids and still has the discipline to work out with a trainer? Good for her!
16two words for the chick with her....One Piece
17well her plastic surgeon should get an award because girlfriend looks amazing!
18Someone just had to go there....
The 'chick' with Kate has way more curves then Kate ever will. I'd rather look like that with a little extra meat then straight up and down Kate Gosselin.
19If I had 8 kids...nannies at my disposal (she can claim she doesn't have them all she wants)..essentially no job...tons of $$ for a trainer...AND plastic surgery I'm sure I could look like this too! I feel for the lay person who can't afford all this.
These two need to go away...far, far away and unfortunately Quills...this is a public forum and though I applaud "chick" for having the guts to wear the two piece it definately is not at all flattering...
20i could care less about them and their pseudo-celebrity-ness. seriously why should we care? we don't see anyone following around mike rowe or the guys for mythbusters and they are far more entertaining! they are on tlc!
21Why should the other girl have to wear a one piece. Don't look at her if you don't like the extra weight she's carrying around. I'm so tired of people bashing other people about their weight. Let's create some more self-image issues and eating disorders here. I say good for her for being comfortable enough in her own skin to wear that bikini instead of hiding under some shapeless granny suit.
22The show is sad now, yet I still can't get enough.
Kate's bellybutton is awfully high, no? Or is that common in tummy tucks...
23I think Kate's bellybutton is higher than normal because she had a lot more skin that stretched a lot faster than a woman would after having a couple normal pregnancies.
24"If I had 8 kids...nannies at my disposal (she can claim she doesn't have them all she wants)..essentially no job...tons of $$ for a trainer...AND plastic surgery I'm sure I could look like this too! I feel for the lay person who can't afford all this."
Agreed. And her surgeon didn't even do a great job. But yes, tummy tucks can get rid of stretch marks if the skin you're getting rid of is the skin with the marks. Which is common in a tummy tuck, the area removed is often the part that was stretched and marked.
Once again Kate claims she doesn't want attention but then goes out with highly attention-seeking motives and poses for photos. She needs to get over herself.
25She appears to have moved to another level in her life he is stuck resenting her success he's jealous. Listen to him when he talks he's a whiner. She may not be liked by some but she knows what she wants and how to get it lots of people resent those qualities in a woman. We are more accepting of this behavior in men who dump the wives and kids for a new life. She looks great get off of her back.
26Kind of. I watched some of the marathon last week. it was my first time watching the mess. I don't see how people are on Jon's side. kate has to treat him like her 9th child because he acts like child.
anyway, I did not like the show. Why would you want to watch kids act like kids? Gave me a headache and I don't blame kate for being a stressed out B word.
27I am not wrapped up in their fake drama. Kate is a bossy self centered person & it's no wonder she is at the beach alone. The 2 episodes I saw she was AWFUL to him. She looks great in a bikini NOW, post cosmetic surgery, she was GROOOOSS. She had a LOT more than a tummy tuck ladies.
28Let's be real. Kate is verbally abusive. I don't blame Jon for disengaging. The 2 of them should walk away form the show for the sake of their marriage & their children this is where they are BOTH at fault.
Leave her alone. I bet if any of you had that many kids you wouldn't look as good. Yes, she isn't perfect looking but she is a busy working mom doing the best she can. Get off her back.
It's enough that she's saddled with that cheating whiner. Do you ever listen to him? He is a child. He is just ridiculous. He goes out to the bars where the young woman are because it feeds his ego.
Hey Jon pay some attention to your family, get a job and let that be something you could be proud of.
29I think it's unfortunate that everyone is criticizing her for being "away" from her kids and family for trying to have a career? I am a business woman myself and hear all these women always complaining about there not being any women in high powered positions and then I see Kate trying to make a name for herself after dedicating 7 years to her kids she is out trying to make a career and having John stay at home there is this HUGE backlash about how it's all about HER? If it were a guy going out and traveling while SHE stayed at home it would be totally normal wouldn't it? If she complained then she would probably be criticized because of course the Male is supposed to go out and provide for his family and make a name for himself and be "selfish" but when a woman does it then it's not ok? I don't understand i thought we had come alot farther then that but I guess I was wrong. I've been watching this show from the 1st episode and she's a Type A mom he's never on the ball always having to get orders from her because he's just goofing around and with 8 kids you have to have order and organization. So he got bossed around and as she got more famous and he didn't he all of a sudden decided that he didn't like where things were going and Cheated when he was MARRIED and She's the bad guy? I'm still not understanding all the scrutiny that she's getting? So when things go wrong in your marriage and you don't like your spouse you can cheat? I guess that explains what this world is coming to.....
30I'm keepin up with what's goin on cause I wanna hate Kate some more.
31I'm not taking sides. They're both annoying as hell, but regardless you should never belittle your spouse on TV, which is exactly what Kate has repeatedly done over and over again on their show. Even after all the rumors about infidelitity, etc. regarding John, Kate went and gave People mag an interview addressing it. Again, she belittles him in the interview...READ IT! She lacks tact...!
Now regarding Jon. He's certainly not perfect. He shouldn't be hanging out with 20 + year old women in bars when he has a family at home to take care of...nor should he be escaping on this little adventures while Kate is caring for the kids. However, I only hear of these escapes based on the show so right now it's hard to know what to believe. And yes, Kate does have plenty of help at home with nannies, so in essence I'm led to believe that Jon just needs to not be with Kate! I can see why.
32Looking at the pics, I'm wondering if the tabloid now is going to write (yes, USA Weekly, I'm looking at ya) she's cheating with the nanny/the gal she's with. LOL. The next issue will be titled: Kate's lesbian affair or something.
Honestly, I can't watch the show (I did catch the reruns last week) especially now, since it's just too sad to see a marriage crumble on tv and the poor 8 lil' faces that have to suffer through it.
Back to the pic, I think she looks good. Kudos for wearing bikinis. I won't be able too. My pale skin just accentuates my stretch marks
33I just can't watch her.
she is verbally abusive to her kids and husband and a publicity wh*re.
I wish people would stop watching the show so she'd go awat have have to get a real job in the real world
34Kate looks great! Jon is fat and ugly, and isn't somebody who will age gracefully.
Kate is very ambitious, and we'll continue to ride this thing out until TLC pulls the plug. Even though I don't agree with some of her petulant utterances, in regard to Jon, somebody has to take charge of the family, and Jon seems a bit lax in that arena. Jon obviously has wearied of the incessant media coverage, and probably yearns for a simpler, more private existence.
35I don't see why a lot of you are so hard on Kate. If she was a pushover like Jon those kids would have no stability whatsover.
What if she was at the bars and having sleepovers elsewhere too and no one was disaplining the kids? The kids would be wild and out of control and fighting more than normal kids do.
Kids need structure and she seems to be the one providing it at the moment while daddy's out playing.
36WOW I can't believe how shallow some of you people are the way you judge her body! Are you all so perfect? Look at all the beautiful overweight (not saying that she is) people out there.
For celebrities: Do you call Beyonce a cow? How about Jessica Simpson? Jennifer Hudson, Britney Spears......
Shame on you people!
37Eek gawd..poor kids being pimped out by mom and dad
38I know Kate had a tummy tuck amd what not but if you just compare the nanny with zero children to kate woman with 8 kids ....oh boy.
39I thought the other lady looks good, she's curvy and in proportion with an hour-glass shape. She's not overweight/fat!! People are just too used to seeing underweight celebrities in bikini's as the 'healthy' norm...
40i'm over seeing them both. don't care, never did.
41I agree with "CaterpillarGirl."
42I've only watched the marathon over the weekend and at certain points I felt horribly sorry for Jon, because Kate talks down to him so often, it's unfortunate for them, I can see she is stressed but that can't be good for his self esteem as a man. I am not so sorry for the kids, because of this show and sacrifice they are not going to be limited in the future because their parents are making enough money off the show to put them through college, all 8 of them, so that's great! I know in this economy, or in reality, it would be nearly impossible for a single income household to support 8 children through higher education, so good for the Gosselins.
monday moos pleaseeee...
she's keeping
her body looking good by diet and exercise..she didn't have gastric by-pass or a face lift or a zillion other cosmetic surgeries that she COULD have had...just having a tummy tuck is NO CURE
all to a great figure! Some of you are really letting your ignorance show through!
43you don't know if you want your stomach to look like that if that's what having a tummy tuck looks like?? That's a stupid comment! Just like everyone has different shapes, everyone would not look the same after a tummy tuck...surgery can only do so much then everything else is left up to your genetics..and for those of you who are crying about "she only looks like that because she had a tummy tuck WAAAHHHHH" OK PEOPLE SHE HAD 8 FREAKING KIDS and 2 sets of SEXTUPLETS on top of that! Let's see your stomach get stretched out like that and see what you look like after a tummy tuck! SHE LOOKS DAMN GOOD and I smell A LOT of jealousy out there...you girls prob don't have a body as good as Kate's and you have NO kids or maybe just ONE! So get off her back and stop being so freaking jealous! Oh..and give credit where credit is due...
damn, she looks good! tummy tuck or not!
44personally, a woman giving birth to a small tribe isn't anything I care to see and I'm not sure why we (America) effing care...I'm sure people have their own annoying kids besides watching that circus...she's a heinous c*** and he's a spineless little bytch that deserves to be verbally abused b/c he's a doormat....they both suck and they get what they get...her body looks ok - just ooookay and her friend needs to look in the mirror b/c I'm about to barf up my bagel
45kate looks weird..like she has no hips. at least the lady next to her has an hourglass figure.
either way i hate both of them. but more-so on jon's side.
46Without the spray tan she would not look as good. It hides a ton! I would not want her body and neither would my husband! She is bottom heavy with no curves. I admit she looks great for all those kids and I admire that she is taking care of herself. She looked great before all those kids and now she is just getting back to where she was before it all began.
47It's sick the way the media is obsessing about these people. They have children who will be hurt by all this attention, whether it's their parents fault or not. I like my celebrity gossip as much as the next girl, but the paps are far to intrusive and need to give these people some personal space and common curtesy.
48They make a s**t ton of money each episode, and from seasons prior, and she has written 2 books which have been big sellers, and the state of PA has like college tuition set up for them (i heard), and they go to everything free. Their hows is like over a million dollars, and jon has a crazy new sports car. I am not worried about what a divorce will do to them, and neither should you. They have already made enough to live a comfortable life, they really dont need to do another season. Plenty of people get by on budgeting, and they are not the only large family to have ever existed, so they arent entitled to much in my eyes. No sympathy here, all they wanna chase right now is dollar signs regardless of the impact on the family.
49*house, not hows
