Just when I thought that the whole 'Jon and Kate' media coverage was dying down and has finally run its course after countless coverage in gossip rags and TV entertainment shows, I flip on the tube the other day and there's Jon's mistress sobbing her crocodile tears about how Jon was emotionally abusive to her. Just another desperate attempt at 15 minutes of fame from someone who dated a reality TV star? Does anyone date a reality TV star who isn't seeking the limelight?

Years ago I had once seen a part of an episode of Jon and Kate Plus Eight while channel flipping. Yes, I admit, I was really desperately seeking entertainment to have even been watching it for the few minutes and I admit that I have a square-shaped head from watching virtually anything that's being broadcast on the tube. I continued flipping the channel after seeing just a few minutes of the show. I remember thinking how fake the show seemed because Jon didn't really seem that into Kate nor into his role as a father. I wasn't surprised at their breakup, nor a fan of either of them.

Must we hear from Jon's former girlfriend and homewrecker that he had 'mantrums'? Do we care that Jon wears cubic zirconia earrings because he can't afford the real deal? Should we watch Kate plus Eight, if such a show emerges, out of pity for her kids since she has publicly stated that this was her way of making ends meet for the family?

I don't hate them, I'm just tired of hearing about them and their messed-up lives.

I still as of yet don't understand how or why they deserved a tv show in the first place. They had a bunch of kids and a loveless marriage? How does this make them stand out? Was either of them a member of the plasmatics? Did one of them ever take a shot at the president? Why would anyone care, especially enough to dump the kind of funds it takes to produce a tv show?

I want to go like my grandfather did. Peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming at the top of my lungs like the passengers in his car.

Seems like any freak can now have their own reality TV show because somewhere, someone out there will watch their pathetic escapades.

Hey my life sucks like everyone elses, give me 7 figures a year to show the world. Heck for that kind of money my wife and I may even cheat.

I would just as soon have a root canal than watch that show. I'm tired of "baloon boy" as well. At least "octomom" has faded a little for now.
