What Makes a Good Reality TV Family?

Celebrity Baby Scoop brings us the unexpected celebrity mom news of, wait for it…good news!

Former reality television star Kate Gosselin reports that things are going well between her and her ex-husband Jon and that the kids notice it and are so happy.

Gosselin also says that the kids are missing the whole TV thing and that the family might have some projects up their many sleeves.

It just makes me think more about families and reality television. What makes one family more interesting to watch than another? Just having a large brood does not make a necessarily interesting family.

"We're hoping to move forward and do more projects," she reveals. "Fans are begging [to see more]. 'They've grown up, they turned eight. What are you doing [now]?'"

"Everyone is excelling school across the board," the proud mom gushes. "We've had a great school year."

I’d like to see some reality television show all about different families and how they live. We could probably learn a lot about parenting by watching an overview of different parenting styles.

Suck It, Gorgas!

Seasons Greetings from the Gorgas!

Real Housewives of New Jersey's Melissa Gorga’s family Christmas card is something else.

Perez Hilton thinks it’s really fabulous.

The card, which is a photo of Melissa Gorga and her husband Joe Gorga, along with their kids, features the family in white and tan.  And when I say tan, I mean the legs of Melissa Gorga.

There’s just something so cheese-cakey about her family all swathed in fully-clothed attire and then her, sitting there, set off by herself, posing like she’s on some modeling shoot. It even seems as though there’s more light shining on her while the family just shrinks away into the background. The husband actually even seems to kind of become part of the wall behind him.

And as if to balance off Melissa’s mini-dress with one sleeve (nothing says Christmas like a white mini!), the daughter is drowning in a white, fluff, Christmas extravaganza of yards of material.

Merry Christmas!

Suck It, Kim Zolciak!

I’ve never seen any of the “Real Housewives of Some City in the US” show.

So I really don’t know who this woman with the big blonde hair is besides some crazy throwback to the Charlie’s Angels.

What I do know is that Too Fab explains that Kim Zolciak's new baby boy was on reality TV when he was only an hour old.

Umm, and Zolciak is in full hair and makeup? What was she doing that first hour of her baby’s birth? Prepping for the cameras instead of bonding with her newborn?

I’m wondering if this shot was the first moment she even held her baby, you know, for the cameras, and the, um…reality of a postnatal mother in full makeup and hair?

Is anyone else as disturbed by this as I am?

Kardashian Baby? Baby Anyone?

Media Takeout reports that they heard from an “E! television insider” that Kourtney Kardashian “May GIVE HER BABY To Her Sister Khloe . . . In A New REALITY SHOW!!”

I guess Khloe has had fertility problems and some genius thought what a great premise for ANOTHER Kardashian reality show. Because, like, three, or is it four, isn’t enough.

I’m feeling a bit skeptical about this rumor, but at the same time I kind of feel like why wouldn’t that happen to this family and on television for all to witness.
