Talk show host is considering runs for Senate, White House.
Now It's 'Jon & Kate Plus Hate'
Hilarious all the same, but remember when “Will & Grace” went into “guest star overload?” This week’s show didn’t fall into that trap. Yes, there was a guest star -- Paula Deen -- but thankfully they didn’t prank call Rachael Ray.
It all started when our girl Kathy was defeated in her bid for a Best Comedy Album Grammy. It couldn’t have come as too much of a shock; the competition was stiff. I didn’t even realize that "Flight of the Conchords" was in the running. Forget dead George Carlin, those blokes are funny (and musical)! Alas, though, Carlin was awarded the prize posthumously, which sent Kathy into a bit of a funk.
But that ain’t nothing that biscuits and gravy can’t cure! Soon after, our heroine received a package in the mail from none other than Paula Deen -- queen of country cookin’ -- with an invitation for her and Team Griffin to come sit a spell in Savannah. Also tagging along was friend Michael McDonald (no, not the singer; the MadTV guy).
Paula’s home -- aside from the dog turds -- was cozy and warm. (Think Teresa’s home from “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.” Now think opposite of that.) She laid out a huge Southern feast for her guests and after they said grace, the conversation turned to trichotillomania and her gay assistant Brandon’s apparent drinking problem (personally, I think he was downing liquid courage in order to try his moves on Michael McDonald.)
Kathy and Paula had a heart-to-heart in the bedroom and I didn’t cringe once. Our girl wasn’t trying too hard as she seems to do sometimes with the “bigger names.” And Paula was just so down-to-earth that there was no need to try anyway. I haven’t really been exposed to this woman much before, but I may just take up cooking so I can watch her! OK, maybe I’ll just watch her cook. Either way, she is a delight!
Next week it is back to trying too hard and prank calling celebrities with the likes of Paris Hilton. If anybody can make that funny, it’s Kathy.

For the sake of these children, if the parents will not stop this show, then TLC needs to do the right thing and pull the plug. I used to be a fan and I will no longer watch the show. My concern is for the welfare of these kids and they no longer need to be in the spotlight - Kate needs to keep her mouth shut about the feelings and emotions of what the kids are going through - my goodness these are CHILDREN!!! Leave them privacy at this time - this is heartbreaking for them - even if Kate cannot see it.

Is it wrong for a man to have a sugar baby \?? It is an absolutely extramarital relationship, but more and more services come out on Internet focusing on this kind of relationship, such as ++Wealthymingle.com~~~~~~~~~~~~.

I agree with comment on Jon. For the first time ever, I liked Kate better. All this "new chapter" and "I am only 32" talk really bothered me. I think he needs to be reminded that he is still a father of 8. In addition, according to Kate's people magazine interview, she has encouraged Jon to go back to work. NOW he wants a job?
One last thing that really bothered me about last nights show came from both Jon and Kate. They said over and over "Everything I do, I do for my kids", "My kids always come first", "This is for the kids". This is probably the attitude that got their marriage where it is today. A big component of "happy kids" is often happy parents. Perhaps if they had put their marriage first a few times they wouldn't be such strangers to each other.

Great article on Jon & Kate! It's about time someone called Jon out ~ I totally agree, I think he is going through a Quarter-Life Crisis. I think they should cancel the show and actually work on being a family instead :)
Look forward to reading more from you!!
