2. Doesn't seem like much

Sounds like the big money must of went to pay her salary.

3. Who didn't see this coming?

I'm almost the last person to say this, but take those poor kids away, please. Several of them have disablilities and this is cruel exploitation. It's bad enough for a 'normal' kid to live with cameras, but an autistic one? A disabled one?

She needs psychiatric help, not her own TV show. Please, do not feed the neurosis!

[XOKCowboy]

5. Amen to that!

She's an attention whore and the media is giving her just that. It's all about her. Take the kids away NOW!

[waiting for hope]

4. Let's just hope not many would watch ..

But, like any good train wreck .... ;-)

6. This bit of news makes me want to pull my own eyes out. nt

7. The Gosselin children are being exploited for their parent's greed.....

There needs to be legislation to ban children under a certain age from reality television. Most parents would never subject their children to national invasion of privacy and scrutiny. But some parents have no common sense, and their need for attention takes precedence over their children's psychological welfare.

Child protective authorities need to get involved if parents won't protect their children from this type of abuse.

8. See, I knew Nadya Sulemon Inc. would turn out to be a very profitable venture.

How come I never think of these ways to strike it rich?

9. fine. I hope the money will be used to reimburse the taxpayers for all the money

we have been spending on her. welfare, medical expenses for her kids. the other salary she is receiving form the state because the kids have dificulties....

10. Ahh, the "Joe Jackson" of showbiz mothers...

I'm damned concerned for the kids. They need to be court assigned an Advocate/Guardian ad Litem (GAL) to prevent this detestable "mother" from squandering every cent for her own ends and vanity. I certainly will not watch, but would have to stop short of suggesting the show should not be made if it means the difference between there being sufficient $$ for the children.
