Radar Online is reporting that Kate Gosselin will appear on Dancing With The Stars next season. Radar has had insider information in the Gosselin’s divorce that was decidedly favorable toward Kate and I would bet that this is true. It seems just like Kate to leak the news so that she can get some thunder ahead of the other contestants. We heard yesterday from TMZ that Paula Abdul, rumored to be working out a deal with ABC that could land her on Dancing, will not be on the upcoming season as rumored. The lineup for Dancing will be announced tonight after the finale of The Bachelor.
RadarOnline.com has exclusively confirmed that reality TV supermom Kate Gosselin will be one of the celebs joining the ninth season of Dancing With The Stars.
The official line-up will be announced Monday night during the big finale of ABC’s The Bachelor.
But Kate’s new gig will not keep her away from her children. RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively that the mom of 8 likely will do most of her practicing near her Pennsylvania home because she insists on putting her children first.
The show was willing to accommodate her because they believe she’ll be a huge draw, a network source told RadarOnline.com. Kate is the breadwinner in the Gosselin family now that Jon has spectacularly flamed out and cost the family a ton of cash by first shutting down Jon & Kate Plus 8 when he denied TLC permission to film the children, and then breaching his contact with the network, which caused them to sue.
That suit was recently settled but cost Jon — and his family a lot of cash. TLC won a preliminary injunction, a sure sign that they would prevail at trial.
With Jon’s ongoing series of mishaps, Kate is left as the primary income earner in the household and she’s taking it very seriously, sources told RadarOnline.com.
“Kate’s the kind of woman who will do whatever is necessary for her children,” one source said. “It’s great for her to be on the show, but she did it ONLY in a way that benefits her family.” The new season of Dancing With The Stars premieres Monday, March 22nd on ABC.

Now Kate will have more mileage to hawk whatever it is she’ll be selling next – that vague 2.0 reality show with TLC, a clothing line, a cookbook, makeup line, toys – whatever. You know she’s going to try and slap her name on whatever will make her a buck.
The question is – will Kate be able to dance? I imagine she’ll be passable, but she seems like she’ll be awkward and stiff. She strikes me as the type who won’t be able to stop thinking enough to feel the music. Those control freak types aren’t the best dancers, but we’ll see.
Oh God, can’t she just GO AWAY and take care of her kids?! Is it too much to ask????
WTF happen to dancing with the STARS? Not the reality tv pests? C’mon!
Why is she owed a career on tv? I wish she would go away!
Oh please let Max be her partner! Those two will be snapping at it others throats! I will definitely be watching DWTS, I love that show!
‘RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively that the mom of 8 likely will do most of her practicing near her Pennsylvania home because she insists on putting her children first.’
LMAO!
Meh, I for one will NOT be watching Dancing With The Has-Beens.
I think she will do great and is excited that she will be on the show(if this is true) even if no one else likes her….I still do and think she is doing a good job with being a mother.
I’d rather her be on Survivor….lol
1) Blah. So sick of her and wish she’d go away.
2) How exactly will this not be huge amounts of time away from the kids? I don’t really watch it, but doesn’t it tape at least 2 days/week in Los Angeles? That’s not exactly a quick commute to PA.
@maritza OMG! That would be awesome-and hilarious. I would love to see Max take her down a bunch of pegs.
Man, they JUST got rid of Samantha Harris, who was annoying beyond words, and now they have to bring this broad in. I can’t stand her. Hopefully she will be eliminated in the first week, because she probably can’t dance because you have to have “emotion” to dance well, and she is about as emotional as a piece of wood; and she won’t have enough people like her to vote for her. Her condescending attitude will not go over well on that show.
One more reason I don’t watch DWTS…@lolabella u said it better than I could.
If this is true I will not be watching Dancing with the Shrew.
Well, someone has to be the breadwinner to support the family, and since Jon is too busy with his skank parade, it’s got to be Kate. Besides, Jon has all the ambition of a slug, so it won’t be him who supports the family.
Shelly – she’d probably win on Survivor! She’s got that ruthless thing going on for her – lol!
One of my favorite TV shows… and one of my LEAST favorite people. I hope she gets eliminated ASAP. I cannot stand watching her on tv, and any type of show! This is a seriously loser move. I am shocked that Jon isn’t on the show too, wouldn’t that be just the type of sleezy move these reality-type of shows always pull? Jon vs. Kate on DWTS. Thank god it’s not real.
She, and her weave, need to do something for money, why not this…
“Those control freak types aren’t the best dancers, but we’ll see.”
LOL! Truer words were never spoken. I can’t think of anything I’d rather watch less than this dingbat. On the upside, maybe she’ll be able to afford a new weave now.
She only did it in a way to benefit her family?? There’s NO benefit to her kids having her in DWTS. It’s another disruption however she does it.
I’ll still want to watch the other contestants but it looks like I’ll be taping and FFing through lots more of it.
Hate her or love her, the chick got 8 kids to feed and help.
Babies gotta eat, fokes…
Hope she do ok in the show, and win.
It would be funny seeing Jon dyeing of jeloussy!
Please say it isn’t so. That’s the end of the show, for me. Can’t stand this woman.
Don’t think she will do too well…she doesn’t have any direction/discipline for dancing. If she does go on doubt if she will last too long….hopefully the first one out. That would do her ego good!
Why won’t she go away?
Why? Are they (DWTS) that desperate?
Isn’t the name of the show “DANCING WITH THE STARS” ? I seem to remember stars being someone who actually have talent. This idiot is SOOOOOO not talented. I agree with Laurie…who died and made her priveledged? I don’t remember anyone saying we OWE this to her. Get a real job, one that doesn’t feed into your famewhore-ness. UGH!
And who looks after her brood while she practices all day and then tapes the shows? I understand she has to feed her family, but she could manage that in a way that doesn’t keep her from her kids all the damn time.
Good for her!!!
Quit feeling sorry for this FRAUD–she’s got millions. Everything she does is to benefit HER, and the show needs to be renamed “Dancing with the Wannabes.” BARF.
when will she just go home and take care of her litter?
Dear Kate,
Stop. With. The. Gum.
Thanks,
Disco
If she’s a star, I’ve got John Holmes’ c*ck.
Nooooo…. This is my stress reliever show. My mindless night of oohing and ahhing. I don’t want to spend it with Kate. Not one second.
uck
Just came from looking a the new group. When I saw her and the last idiot Bachelor, I thought “whew!” one more show I don’t have to watch!
They both make me ill!
Breadwinner?
Those Gosselin kids won enough bread over the last few years to have a very comfortable life. Too bad it can’t buy them a parent who can stand to be around them.
Neither Kate nor Jon has any intention of doing the difficult job of raising the children they jumped through fertility hoops to have. Not when they can do much easier things, like host parties, tape tv shows, and go on bullsh*t book tours selling lies.
The kids don’t need any more matchy-matchy outfits, or stupid playhouses for each and every one of them, or any other bullsh*t material luxury item. They need parents to be there every day of their lives to love them and raise them. Not hired strangers.
No, Kate. Stop with the breadwinning crap, like you’re out breaking your back so the kids can eat. No. Stop.
I can’t stand her either, but I will still watch. Whomever said she was a good mother has a warped sense of what a good mother is.
If she was a good mother she would be at home with her 8 children instead of trying to be famous and dancing on another reality show.
She looks like she models herself of Dina Lohan…looks & behaviour! Scary!
She looks like a horse. if I wanted to see horse’s dance I would watch Disney movies!
If she put her children first she would have moved out into the country and sent them to regular school and stopped being such a fame whore. You rarely see her with her children except at photo ops… oops sorry “family outings”. It is ridiculous.
Oh and the constant putting down of Jon? Yes we know he is an asshole but you do have a responsibility as a parent to retain an amount of respect for your partner in front of the children.
She thinks that DWTS is a good idea but in 20 years time when her children won’t talk to her and she is sitting at home by herself at Christmas she will mourn that she was so fame obsessed that she tore apart her family.
Has this show become Dancing With The Famewhores?
UGH why wont this woman go away! we dont wanna see you dance or anything we just wanna see u leave. KATE PLEASE GO HOME TO YOUR CHILDREN! must u have to be on Tv somewhere? Is is a addiciton to u or somthing? Please leave before you ruin telivision for all people of the world and ur hair is horrible! PLZ GO AWAY KATE!! (Waves with a huge smile on face) BYEEE! have a nice day!
ps DWTS if you really that desprate to put her on there you probaly should just invite snooki or someone from jersey shore to be on your show. atleast she was at the grammys lol.
Ha. Breadwinner. That’s rich. She cries poverty and gets 7000 hair extensions. I hope while she’s on dancing with the stars, a spotlight falls on her head and crushes her.
