Description

"The Secret World of Jon and Kate" propels you into the crazy world of celebrity journalism as a former Us Weekly reporter delivers a pull-no-punches, behind-the-scenes account of the madness that enveloped the rural Pennsylvania community the Gosselins call home. Veteran journalist Al Walentis discusses his stealth reporting for Us Weekly, tells how he shopped the exclusive photos of Jon cheating with his babysitter to the major publications, profiles the international paparazzi who rode the wave of gossip for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and tracks Jon's public meltdown from "cool dude" into national punch line. In the final section, Polly Kahl, M.A., offers a fascinating psychological profile of Jon and Kate and reveals what the dysfunctional couple needs to accomplish in order to return to normalcy.
Among the revelations:
* Jon hires his own paparazzo to sell photos of himself and his girlfriend to a gossip website
* Why Jon got busted after a sleepover with his babysitter and how the photos ended up in the National Enquirer
* Evidence that Jon himself is a direct source to the tabloids
* Kate dresses up in a sexy jogging outfit for a photo-op while taking down the garbage
* The paparazzi stop trying to get photos of Jon partying with other women so he won't cut off access to posed shots
* Kate tells her security guard she's worried that a reporter in front of her property is a stalker who wants to kidnap her kids
* Two non-profit groups in Jon's community reject his offer to volunteer for public appearances
* The identity of the one Gosselin insider who emerged from the rubble with her dignity intact
"The Secret World of Jon and Kate" is a sad, funny, absurd tale of greed, opportunism, revenge, debauchery and opportunism you can't read anywhere else.
