Wow, who saw that coming

Kudos to Jezebel for cutting this footage together. I freaking love Kate's Philly accent "Hawn, put da toys dow-own".

And to the pervert that keeps hitting my site looking for Kate Gosselin's measurements and bust size, just stop already.

I know this video is a few days old, but make sure you watch the whole thing. I can't think of a better example of fatherhood and Yankee fandom than this fine piece of amateur film:



Morganobrien.com UPDATE: It's been a few days since I last posted (so sue me, I moved, calm down). To all the pervs looking up "Kate Gosselin's Bust Measurements" on Google, just stop. You're freaking sick.

Unfortunately, I don't have this information on the site. If any of my well-informed readers would like to share this information with me, I'll gladly post it here. What can I say, I'm here to serve.

In the meantime, I anxiously await the season premier of Jon Minus Nine, which portends to be my new favorite show.

Jon and Kate Update

Rare is the day I come home to find Mrs. Morganobrien.com not tuned into TLC viewing the hideously unwatchable Jon and Kate Plus 8. I haven't caught more than 30 seconds of the show in one sitting (and I'd admit it; for instance, I'll watch The Real Housewives of NYC/OC--not Atlanta--when it's on), but Jon and Kate and their child abuse by reality show disgust me while inexplicably providing a constant source of enjoyment for my wife.

Adding to my consternation, the show fills my TiVo, because it's seemingly on non-stop. My old lady also recently read their book, Multiple Bles8ings (not a typo--that's a totally out-of-place 8 replacing an 's' there), which appeals to my inner copy editor.

Because hate is such a strong word, I only hate one human being (There are 3 folks I would place in the despise category, all of whom I met in NM. Thanks, Kirtland). With that in mind, I won't say that I hate Jon and Kate Gosselin and their brood but I'll cop to maintaining a strong sense of schadenfreude towards them.

And that's why I'm so happy to report the following:

'Jon & Kate Plus 8' heading for divorce?

Jon and Kate Gosselin of TLC's docudrama Jon & Kate Plus 8, about their family life with two sets of multiples, may have trouble in paradise.

The couple appears to have serious marriage problems now that Jon has started spending increasing amounts of time away from home and partying with college girls, claims InTouchWeekly.com.

It turns out that Jon apparently met some Juniata College (PA) co-eds at a bar called Mimi's on Valentine's Day, returned to a house party with them and then got all touchy-feely as the night progressed. He also reportedly played Beer Pong. Sounds like a great Valentine's Day. I went to Red Lobster.

And what good is an Internet rumor without a photo that may or may (probably) not indicate impropriety?

For their part, the Gosselins deny these stories as baseless rumors.

"It is certainly hurtful for people to spread rumors and lies about us. It certainly makes me reluctant to live my life like the average person would. This has made it very clear that the simplest innocent gesture -— such as taking a picture with a fan, can be taken out of context. As you can see on the show, I am not perfect, but I am a part of a loving family and couple."

Who knows if this is true (farbeit for me to question the veracity of a Star magazine story). Regardless, I'm glad to see that karma is alive and well--exploit your children, put yourselves in the public eye and fill up my DVR and you get what you deserve.
