Here's the J&K update: Evidently they have been separated for two years. It's not that either one was cheating on the other, they were cheating on the viewing public. This is particularly true of the Season 4 finale where they renewed their vows in Hawaii.
By this time, they were separated for one year and I would guess had no intention of reconciling. They were separated, but the vow thing in Hawaii made great TV--and that was the intent--great TV.
Shame on J&K for perpetrating this fraud. Shame on the advertisers for supporting this misrepresentation. Shame on TLC for being a willing accomplices for ratings and cash. Shame on everyone who watched it. Shame on me for milking this thing for my own purposes, whatever they are.
Where does Manny fit into this? Forty six days ago, Manny was suspended for violating Baseball's ban on "performance enhancing drugs" for the standard first violation length of 50 games. Last night ManRam returned to the minor leagues for a "rehab stint." This is allowed by Major League Baseball, by working with and playing for the Albuquerque Isotopes Manny violated no rules.
BUT here's the rub, by the time he gets back with the Dodgers the hope is he will be able to pick up where he left off, and the 'Topes will pick up some decent scratch from having Manny in the line up, even if it is for just three games. Nice suspension baseball. Keep him away...until it can make somebody extra cash.
That's the deal with John and Kate Plus Manny Ramirez, it's all about the money.
More J&K news:
ReplyDeleteThe current swirling rumor is that they really haven't been separated for two years. The "two year" thing is a ploy to fast track the divorce and (allegedly) to take Kate's books out of community property so John gets no proceeds in the dissolution of joint property.
So did they lie on TV or in court documents? Again, I'm just asking...
