And then there were nine.
Plus the police.
Kate Gosselin spent her 10th wedding anniversary weekend with her kids — and the popo.
The mom of eight summoned Wernersville cops to her estate because pesky photographers were hanging around outside.
Which is ironic.
Since at the time of her complaint, a TLC camera crew was busy filming Kate and kids at play for their show.
Speaking of her nuptials, Jon was nowhere to be found.
The absentee hubby missed out on the fun-filming festivities — no photos or rumors have popped up to explain how or where he spent the past weekend.
But since it was reported that he spent Kate’s birthday skiing with supposed gal pal Deanna Hummel, I’ll give you three guesses.
And the first two don’t count.
The big question — did he buy his estranged bride a gift?
Photos showed Kate receiving a huge bouquet of flowers on Saturday.
Whether or not they were from Jon, no one knows.
And since Kate has now taken a hostile stance toward the media – well, the ones that don’t pay her or give her free goodies – the pubic is in the dark.
I do know that the 10th anniversary is a milestone.
I asked my mom what one would receive for such an occasion, and she informed me that the traditional 10th Wedding Anniversary gift is tin, aluminum, or diamonds.
That leaves the present open to interpretation.
Now, I understand diamonds.
Every girl speaks the language of jewelry.
But what on earth can you buy in the way of an aluminum offering?
Can you even buy something in aluminum?
Cookware?
They have more than enough KitchenAid and Cuisinart swag to outfit all eight of their children’s kitchens when they eventually fly the coop.
How about tin?
I had to Google this one.
The results returned “Wrought Iron Flair Gifts,” such as a plaque with “heavy gage” tin words touting a “unique way to express yourself.”
I don‘t think there is enough space on this dinky little tablet for Jon‘s commemorative inscription.
He would have to use a billboard.
An R-rated one, at that.
Maybe it could be made of aluminum siding.
A gift that keeps on giving – a sort of creative two-for-one special that will live on and on…
At least longer than their 15 minutes
