  As of 10 pm tonight, Gina was still at the house alone with the kids. A nanny will probably take over in the morning and then hand them off to Jon when he arrives.

  Jon plans to watch Kate on DWTS at home with the kids, “to cheer her on.”

  Kate winning or doing well on DWTS would be great for the family, says Jon.

  Jon shopped at Kate’s Giant for snacks for the show tonight. Was papped pushing a shopping cart in the store.

  Judy is at the house tonight helping Jon with the kids.

  If there was any doubt that there’s tension between Kate and Tony, the show tonight put that to rest.

  Kate’s performance tonight was horrendous.

  Jon took the kids to school this morning in the Sprinter van and then had an early breakfast with a friend at local diner, Gianotti’s in Wyomissing. Jon is trying to eat healthier so he had an egg white omelet and coffee while his friend showed no sympathy and had a Western omelet, bacon, hash browns and pancakes drenched in syrup.

  Jon wanted to stay out of sight today so he got back to the house before 8 am and laid low inside where he took a nap and caught up on some paperwork for several projects that he says he has in the works. He snuck out of the house around Noon and went to visit a friend who lives in West Reading. He said he plans to watch DWTS tonight at home with the kids and have a “Go Mommy Party.” They’re going to have snacks and junk food and they will vote for mommy as many times as they can from the house phone, the apartment phone and Jon’s two cell phones. Jon says it would be great for the family for Kate to go far or even win on DWTS. He’s totally supportive of her career and wishes he could be there to cheer her on in person, be he knows that’s not possible. “She’d see me in the audience and probably trip and fall.”

  Jon left the friends house in the Sprinter van around 3:40 and went to the bus stop to get the kids, where the paps were waiting for him. He talked with them for a few minutes until the bus pulled in. Jon opened up the back of the van and the side door before going to get them at the bus. The kids were all excited to see him there, with the little ones yelling “daddyyyyyyyy” as they came down the steps, gave him a hug or high-five and went to the van. After he got them all, he put their backpacks in the back of the van, strapped them in and headed back home. Cara was on the late bus, having a sports activity at school so she got picked up at 6 while Judy watched the rest of the kids at the house.

  On the way to get Cara at the late bus, Jon stopped at Kate’s Giant supermarket and did some shopping for tonight. He was photographed in the frozen food isle buying Weight Watchers dinners and JiffyPop Popcorn. He already had ice cream and other snacks at the house for tonight for the party.

  If there was any doubt in anyone’s mind that there’s tension between Kate and Tony, tonight’s DWTS show sure put that to rest. Tony quit and walked out at one point, leaving Kate in tears.

  Tony said “I’ve never been questioned about my teaching before. I’ve taught world champions. I teach teachers.

  If that’s how Kate and Tony act with the DWTS cameras rolling, just imagine what goes on in Kate’s basement. It’s nasty.

  When Tony came back to Kate after walking out, Kate said “thank you for coming back. A lot of people quit on me in life.

  Dance practice at the house from 10am – 4pm today.

  After rehearsal, Tony gave Kate a ride to the Toyota dealership in his Porsche convertible – top down of course.

  Judy dropped kids off and picked them up at the bus stop.

  Tony arrived at the Gosselin house a few minutes before 10 am carrying his usual assortment of Starbucks coffee drinks for himself, Kate and DWTS crew, who arrived 15 minutes before him. He waved down to the fence to a few well-wishers who were standing outside the house and yelled to him when he arrived.

  Judy took the kids to the bus stop this morning in the Sprinter van and gave them all hugs and kisses as she helped them up the steps to the bus. She stood outside the bus waving to the tups that were waving and smiling back through the window as it pulled away.

  A few minutes after 4 pm, Tony came outside to leave, looking good as always. He put the top down on his Porsche convertible and got it and started it up but then just sat there for five minutes. Kate came out of the house and got in the car and they left the property together, looking like Ken and Barbie. They were both all smiles for the paps that were waiting at the gate to photograph them as they left. Tony even offered one an extra Starbucks drink he had in the car but the pap was caught off-guard by his kindness and didn’t know how to react.

  They sped off down the country road and wound around through the hills and arrived ten minutes later at Kate’s Toyota dealership where she had left her Land Cruiser a few days earlier. Tony was just giving her a ride to her car before heading back to his hotel.

  Kate and Tony practiced today for six hours.

  Kate and Tony were alone in the house for the first time today.

  Today is Jon’s 33rd birthday and he celebrated it away from his kids.

  He wanted to be at the house spending his birthday with his kids but because of the custody arrangement, he can’t, so he’s spending the day with his immediate family and will be cooking dinner and staying in with them tonight. He’ll be coming back home to be with the kids this weekend while Kate is dancing in the house with Tony and will be staying in the apartment above the garage while she is in the main house.

  Judy was at the Gosselin house at 6:30 am to help with the kids and to get Mady and Cara to the bus stop. Kate stayed behind with the sextuplets.

  The DWTS crew arrived at the house at 9:40 and went straight to the basement entrance behind the house. Tony was running a little late today and arrived in his white Porsche Carrera convertible at 10:10. He was dressed in a white, tight, short-sleeve t-shirt, black pants and white sneakers and was carrying his usual tray of Starbucks coffee drinks and a white plastic bag. As he was walking from his car to the house, the tups came rushing out the front door yelling “Tony’s here! Tony’s here!” Tony walked right by them and around the house to the basement entrance. I’m sure he must have said something to them in the form of a greeting but from where I was standing, I couldn’t hear anything. He was probably late and wanted to get in there before Kate got mad at him.

  Judy came outside with the kids and stayed out with them for an hour as they played on their scooters and bikes and did the usual running around enjoying themselves. After that they stayed inside the rest of the day.

  Judy was the first to come outside at 3:05 pm when she took the Sprinter van to get Mady and Cara at the bus. She brought the sextuplets along with her so they wouldn’t disturb dance practice. They left very early for the bus and sat at the bus stop for 45 minutes. Judy climbed in the back with the kids while they waited.

  Back at the house, dance rehearsal was wrapping up and the crew left the house at 3:50 pm, leaving Tony and Kate inside alone for the first time since they’ve been together. They were alone until Tony came outside to leave at 4:30 pm. Judy was just getting back to the house with the kids. She stayed around until 5 pm when she handed over total custody of the 8 to Kate. Kate used the remaining daylight as a photo-op and played with the kids out front in the yard in front of the paps. I say photo-op because this is maybe the third time she’s been in front of the house playing with the kids since this story broke. The kids had a great time playing with Kate. It was a rare moment for them and they made the most of it. They showed off their bike-riding skills to her yelling “mommy, mommy look at me.” They also circled the driveway on their scooters and even had Kate get out the four-wheel-drive toy car that they love to race around in.

  Kate stayed outside with the
kids for over an hour playing. The paps wrapped up at 6 pm and oddly enough, Kate took the kids inside minutes later.

  They stayed inside until dark with no visitors.

  Highlights: Kate Gosselin is a Diva

  Kate told Tony after last week’s show that she’s the reason people know his name, reminding him who the star is.

  Kate wishes she would have gotten Maks as her partner instead of Tony.

  Kate has gotten so frustrated with Tony that she walked out on him and the crew to go shopping.

  Kate blames Tony for her poor dancing performances saying, “I thought he could teach me but I guess he can’t.”

  Kate makes Tony use the basement entrance to the house now instead of coming through the front door.

  Kate avoids the line at UPS when she gets her mail. Has employees bring it to her while she waits in car – parked illegally.

  Kate also gets special service at the hospital. She waits outside in the car while a staffer brings her files out to her.

  Kate asks for and gets personal security while shopping at Target.

  Kate gets a new mani/pedi each week to match her dress on DWTS.

  Kate told Tony in the heat of the moment while arguing last week that “I’m the reason anyone knows your name so give me a break please”, reminding Tony of who the star really is. Tony just stood there with his arms folded and his head down trying not to get angrier.

  Kate confided in xxxxxxx that she wishes she had partnered with Maks instead of Tony because “Maks is a stronger personality and would be able to deal with her better. Kate likes a man who takes charge and Tony’s a pushover.”

  Kate got so frustrated with Tony last week during rehearsal that she stormed out saying “I need to get out of this house!” and she went and ran errands while Tony and the crew sat in the basement waiting for her to come back. She came back with a Target bag and a Dunkin Donuts coffee in hand.

  Kate blames Tony for her poor dancing performances, telling xxxxxx “I thought he could teach me but I guess he can’t. He knew I couldn’t dance at all but he promised me he would turn me into a good dancer and I wouldn’t embarrass myself. So much for that.” xxxxxx says Kate takes little jabs at Tony which get under his skin, saying things like “here comes the great dance instructor!” when he arrives. She says she’s just kidding and Tony laughs it off but you can tell he get’s pissed at her. “Tony takes this very seriously.”

  “Kate makes Tony use the basement entrance to the house now instead of coming through the front door. She says it’s quicker for everyone that way but she’s really just trying to show him that she’s the boss and he’s just part of the crew.”

  Kate blew off dance rehearsal this morning for an Easter egg hunt photo op to trump Jon.

  Tony left the property frustrated because of another wasted day with no rehearsal.

  Steve and Gina Neild and their sons helped Kate with the egg hunt.

  Kate left in a limo with Steve while the kids were stuck inside with the mean nanny the rest of the day.

  Kate blew off dance rehearsal this morning to have an egg hunt for the kids and to trump Jon. Jon had called her on Friday to discuss custody arrangements and he told Kate that he was planning to have an egg hunt for the kids in the yard. Kate didn’t have anything planned and was just going to bring the kids something “Eastery” from LA but when she found out about Jon’s egg hunt, she decided that she’d beat him to it and she went to Target last night to pick up supplies. She went all out, buying plastic eggs filled with candy, pretty baskets for the kids and baskets full of candy and toys for prizes.

  Tony stayed in town last night because they were scheduled to dance this morning before leaving together for LA. Instead, when he got there, Kate told him that she decided to have an egghunt for the kids and they would make up the missed dance practice when they got to LA. Tony was pissed and sped off in his convertible, rather than staying and riding together in the limo to the airport with Kate and Steve like they did last week. Kate was overheard saying “He’ll get over it” after Tony left.

  Steve and Gina and their two boys were at the house early and the boys came outside and hid all the eggs in the yard while the kids were kept under wraps in the house. Kate wanted to get the egg hunt over early so she could prepare for the trip but the paparazzi weren’t at the house yet so she delayed the hunt for an hour until the paps arrived. Kate had the tups all dressed up in matching outfits – obviously for a photo op to make herself look like a good mother since she went nowhere else with the kids today.

  Kate’s rule is to always have the kids play behind the house when she doesn’t want them photographed by the paps. The back yard would have been a much better place to have the hunt but the paps can’t see back there. Kate treats the kids like pawns or worse yet, pets, playing with them only for the cameras. Once the pictures are taken, she turns them back over to the nannies.

  Kate wanted the kids in matching outfits to look good for the magazines. It took almost an hour to get the kids ready because Kate wanted ribbons in the little girl’s hair and they had to look “perfect.” The little girls wore matching pink dresses while the boys wore brown shirts and shorts. Mady and Cara picked out their own outfits, with Cara wearing a blue t-shirt over jean shorts and Mady wearing a pink sleeveless shirt over jean shorts. The kids were whining about wanting to go out and find eggs but Kate kept making excuses as to why they had to wait. Finally, the paparazzi arrived and coincidentally, the egg hunt started a few minutes later.

  Kate gathered all the kids together up by the front door and gave them instructions before counting to three and saying go! The kids scattered in all directions searching for eggs, laughing and screaming as they ran from egg to egg, filling their baskets. There were eggs everywhere. Kate went all out for this photo op. She pretended to be having as much fun as the kids were, pumping her fist forcefully in the air every time one of the kids yelled “Mommy I found one, I found one!!” As soon as the kids found their eggs and plenty of pictures had been taken by the paps, the kids were shuffled back into the house where they stayed for the rest of the day.

  Kate had pre-made ‘prize baskets’ for the kids that she bought at Target, sealed coldly in shrink wrap and containing a few wrapped pieces of candy and a stuffed toy. The kids were excited about them though so that’s all that matters.

  Steve stayed out of sight for most of the time at the house, coming out to the car only once to bring something inside. Instead, Gina and the boys made more of an appearance with the kids and Kate, helping out with the hunt.

  When the limo arrived at 12:30, Kate and Steve loaded up their bags and said goodbye to their families. Kate must have done her goodbyes inside because she came out alone and left without the kids in the yard this time. Gina and the boys stayed behind but left an hour later, leaving Judy alone at the house with the kids. The mean nanny came at 3 pm to relieve Judy and the kids were kept inside the rest of the day.

  Kate didn’t return home to her children today, opting to go straight to New York for a TLC promo filming session on Thursday. Another day without parents for the kids.

  Paps and reporters ambush the kids at the bus stop this afternoon. Kids scared and hiding their faces.

  Even though Kate was due back at the house today after being away from the kids since Saturday, Xxxxxxx said that she (Kate) was going to be in NYC on Thursday to film promo spots for TLC, along with the other stars of their shows for the upcoming season, and that there was a chance that she would go directly to New York, rather than return home. Well that’s exactly what Kate did. Went straight to NYC.

  The only movement at the house today was Judy taking the kids to the bus stop in the morning and then returning in the afternoon to pick
them up. Kate’s cleaning lady was also at the house for most of the morning, leaving several bags of trash out by the garage before leaving.

  Kate spent the day in NYC – day 5 1/2 away from the kids this week.

  Two nannies sharing custody at the Gosselin house today and overnight tonight.

  DWTS judge Bruno Tonioli had tough words for Kate.

  Kate opted to go from LA to New York, rather than go home and spend time with the kids yesterday. She was supposedly in New York at a secret location filming promo spots for TLC for her new shows next season, along with other TLC stars.

  The last time she was at the house with the kids was Saturday afternoon before Easter.

  The mean nanny stayed with the kids overnight and Judy came this morning to drive Mady and Cara to the bus stop. When she got back to the house at 7:20 am, she took over custody of the sextuplets and stayed with them at the house all day. They played outside on their bikes and scooters and took turns in the new big red ball. They miss Kate and keep asking when she’s coming home. They tried to call Kate for most of the day but Kate didn’t pick up. Kate finally called them at 5:30 pm to talk.

  Judy left at 6:30 pm tonight, handing over custody once again to the mean nanny who will stay overnight.

  Dancing With the Stars judge Bruno Tonioli didn’t hold back when discussing Kate Gosselin’s less-than-graceful moves on Wednesday’s Lopez Tonight: “Kate is pretty dreadful. She’s crap,” he told host George Lopez.
