Jon & Kate Plus 8 Season Premiere Preview
The “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ season premiere is tonight on TLC. The cable network has decided to play off all the tabloid coverage focusing on the demise of Jon and Kate Gosselin’s marriage. A new trailer for the show has been released which features the pair being photographed by paparazzi and sitting on the couch admitting how bad things are. Kate says “I will not lay down and die,” while Jon admits “I feel like I’m in prison.”
With all the hype that has been going on for Jon & Kate Plus 8 – Have U Heard will be live chatting with YOU during the show. Say what you think while the show is going on. (more on the show after the jump)
This is in contrast to a previous promotional clip for the show which featured footage of the sextuplets’ birthday party and a kind of vague statement from Jon that “Kate and I have obviously been going through some stuff.”
In the latest clip, Jon and Kate are sitting on the couch – together but VERY apart.
In the premiere for tonight’s Jon and Kate Plus 8 Kate Kate Gosselin admits:
”everything’s falling apart” “Everything’s falling apart,” Kate says. “I feel like the world is sitting on my shoulders.”
As seen in a previous sneak peek clip, the couple of about 10 years speak to the camera separately. (In prior seasons, they give testimonials together.)
Kate added: “I will not give up. I will not lay down and die.”
The tabloids have been reporting on the Gosselin’s non-stop. Us Weekly has had the couple on their cover for the past 4 weeks. They are also reporting that Jon Gosselin lives in an apartment above the garage of their $1.1 million home, and had an affair with a 23-year-old. As for Kate – she is being reported as short-tempered – having fired 40 staffers in three months and has become “inseparable” from her bodyguard.
RadarOnline, which has had exclusive video interviews with Kate’s brother and sister-in-law, has a story today that both Jon and Kate are doing everything they can to cash in on their story. In Touch reported this week that Kate charges $20 for photographs of her family that she autographs at events. She makes anywhere from $3,000 to $25,000 for an appearance. The couple earns upwards of $50,000 a show, but all that isn’t enough for them.
Their net worth is already estimated in seven figures, with reports that they earn a minimum of $50,000 per show. There were 41 episodes of “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ last season. Hmmmm – that is a lot of cash.
Other money-making ventures include books plus appearance fees and charging for autographs. ”Multiple Blessings” sold approximately 500,000 copies and Kate’s new book “8 Little Faces” should get a boost from the constant publicity surrounding their marriage.
Looks like Kate (more so than Jon) is really making the most of their “15 minutes” at the expense of her marriage and family. How sad. Feel free to come by tonight to www.haveuheard.net and give off some steam about this whole situation.

I’m very sad for what has happened. I knew Kate was very strong in her attitude and that she belittled Jon many times. But, this is expected. No man likes to be treated like scum. Kate needs alot of humbling to do but, I know God will help her change. Money is the root of all evil. Pray for them.
