Kate's kids expelled
By MAXINE SHEN
Two of the 6-year-old Gosselin sextuplets are said to be having a rough time in their new school.
According to reports from In Touch, Collin and Alexis have been expelled from their Pennsylvania private school and are now being homeschooled.
"They've fought with their peers, called them nasty names and made fun of other kids," a source close to the family told the magazine. "The things they are saying are not words they should know. They are learning them somewhere -- but Jon [Gosselin, their dad] doesn't know where."
The source also said that some of the eight kids are having "rage issues" linked to filming on the new reality series, "Kate Plus 8."
Previously, one of the sextuplet girls had been suspended from school for two weeks after hitting a classmate, according to reports.
TLC had no comment. A source close to the situation, though, told The Post that mom Kate Gosselin's "number one concern is protecting her children and is keeping this personal situation as a private matter that she works out with her kids."
Last Sunday's special, "Kate Plus 8: Alaska Here We Come," drew only 1.33 million viewers, less than half the number that tuned in to earlier specials aired over the summer and nowhere near the almost 10 million viewers who tuned in at the height of the "Jon & Kate Plus 8" meltdown last year.
John and Kate plus 8, now Kate plus 8, next year it will be self-centered media W*&%$ plus 8.
What the hell happened to TLC and Discovery? I remember when I watched as a kid and the were actually educational.
Now TLC is attention whores all day and Discovery is the let's blow stuff up channel (Mythbusters gets a pass as it's fairly entertaining). I don't know what channel the sarah palin reality show is coming on but it makes me want to sell my TV, how does anyone take her seriously?

Now History has morphed into reality TV for unlikely subject matter.
Back on-topic, I feel bad for how messed up those kids will be...

I just had areality show idea epiphany! Bristol and kate + 28, the true story of lesbian love and adopting taiwanese vigintuplets!
In defense of the new Sarah Palin reality show....OK I got nothin.
Of course they act out! They sextuplets have no soul! Or at least they all share one.

If I wasn't already sitting on the floor I would fall out of a chair laughing.
Lady, when you "pimp" your life and the lives of your children....they aren't going to have any personal lives or privacy. You screwed these poor kids pretty much BEFORE they left the womb.

I just discovered we now get the Science Channel. It's a lot like Discovery was, but even it has "Man Tracker". I've yet to figure out WTH it has to do with 'science'.
Anyone remember the original SciFi channel? All the cool, low-budget shows that used to be on there? MST3K and Mysteries from Beyond the Other Dominion???
TLC= the freak show channel.

I tease my wife all the time for watching TLC and the like. As I tell her, it is all just "freak show television."
Dwarfs, midgets, litters of children, hoarders, tattoos, just plain freaks. People seem to enjoy these shows because it makes us feel good about ourselves and normal in our own lives if we point out the oddities of others.
Now don't get me started on why there has to be so much shouting and false drama just to make a f-ing cake.
In reply to jrw1621:
Same reason there is/ was so much drama with building a berkeleying chopper. I swear about every girl I know (which isn't many since I am at an engineering school) loves the damn wedding shows.
I spent the whole day watching mutual of omaha's wild kingdom the other day while doing stuff around the house - it was great.

NO! NONONONONO! ....well maybe just this once...
My favorite is when people defend her witht the argument of "they are better off on TV, because they make more than if she was still a nurse"...
They live around me, here in south-central PA, and I sort of want to know where, so I can do donuts on their front lawn, completely tearing it up. Spraying mud on the house would be a bonus.
That women= another day, another narcissist!
