While perusing people.com, I saw a picture of Kate Gosselin Easter egg hunting with her kids. This reminded me of a brief recap that I saw on the news the other night about her performance on Dancing with the Stars. I couldn't believe that a woman with eight children could take that much time to practice her routines and film the show! It's appalling to me that people like her could choose the media over their own children. I have not heard much about the father lately, so I am guessing that after their messy, over-publicized divorce, he is out of the picture.
I am disappointed and genuinely feel bad for Jon and Kate's "plus 8." They will be suffering the effects of the affairs, the divorce and being thrown into the media spotlight as young children for years to come. These kids deserve a break from the spotlight, and that starts with their parents. As we talked about in class, the job of a publicist is to keep a celebrity's name in the media. Kate's publicist has done just that, but unfortunately at the expense of Kate's own children. Jon and Kate need to realize the importance of family--not drama or dollar signs.
