I know many of you share my obsession with Jon & Kate Plus Eight, and I know many of you agree with me that the show has become nearly unwatchable lately as a result of Kate being increasingly awful to Jon. She treats him like a five-year-old, even though he is a very smart and competent man, and it’s embarrassing to watch. It’s such a tricky situation, because you know Jon loves those kids and would never want to be away from them, but I do not understand how he lives day in and day out with Kate.

Now a tipster on Evil Beet is saying that Jon has been living with his mother since the start of February, and he’s been out getting wasted all over town lately. Word is that they are separating.

The tipster sent along this photo, too, of Jon at a local bar called Shorty’s.

Damn, I would never want to see these kids’ family separated, but I have to admit I’ve been secretly rooting for Jon to free himself of Kate for awhile. Does that make me a horrible person? I love those kids as much as the rest of America, but nobody should have to be treated that way by their spouse. It’s a bad example to set for the children, too.

Last Monday, when news about the octuplets’ birth broke, TLC’s new episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8 brought in 3.7 million viewers.

This is a huge number for a cable reality show, and it was up 76% over the previous week.

Looks like the birth of the octuplets just got people re-interested in Kate and her clan!

Remember the California baby factory who just gave birth to octuplets?  More information is now being released about the family and it’s scary.  Like, flip your uterus inside out scary.  I feel like I’m being Punk’d hearing about these people; is this even real?

The mom is thirty-three, unmarried and lives with her parents.  She has six other children, including a set of twins, that are seven, six, five, three and two.  Fourteen children under the age of eight.  And the mother’s father is headed to Iraq to work as a contractor so he can help support this mess o’ children.  I hope his annual salary is, like, $450,000.

Do you think this woman is the reproductive equivalent of a plastic surgery addict?  Maybe she’s maxed out all her credit cards on IVF attempts and she’s still planning on more.

Do you think one woman and her mom are enough to raise fourteen children that are no more than seven years apart?  Even with all the free diapers, vacations and college educations that will be thrown at these kids, can they ever get sufficient individual attention and care?  The answer is no.

Kate Gosselin must be racing to the fertility clinic right now and begging the doctor to load her up.  But seriously, she’s got nothing to worry about.  This crazy lady is going to need her own station.

Someone is looking to give Jon and Kate Gosselin a run for their money — a woman in Bellflower, California just gave birth to octuplets. She was only expecting seven babies, but once they opened her up for the C-section, they found eight. Sweet. Now what the hell are they going to do with that seven-baby stroller?

This is only the second time in history that a human has had eight babies — the first time was in 1998, and the woman lost one of the babies as an infant.

Right now, all eight of the Bellflower woman’s babies are healthy.

Don’t worry, she’ll have no trouble paying for all those children — she’s practically guaranteed a hit TV show. I assume TLC is sending a film crew over right now. The Gosselins are going to be sooo passe. Seriously, I bet you anything Kate is feeling threatened right now. It kind of gives me joy.
