Kate Gosselin somehow scored the cover of People Magazine, yet again, to sell her lie of a “single mother, working for my kids” schtick that’s as hackneyed and easy to see through as Lindsay Lohan’s “I just want to focus on my work” mantra. This just goes to show how totally out of touch People Magazine is. Last year, this nasty bitch got at least four People covers. (That I can find.) You would think she would have sealed her fate with the American public by showing her true, petty colors on Dancing with The Stars, but she’s still in the good graces of someone at People and I hope they pay for it with pitifully low sales this week. Maybe they figure the cute kids will make up for Kate’s face.
Kate Gosselin’s long-time TLC show Kate Plus 8 has been canceled, and she’s the first to admit that the transition from reality star to regular mom isn’t going to be an easy one.
“I’m freaking out. Big time,” she tells PEOPLE in the new issue.
Her kids, twins Cara and Mady, and sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel “weren’t ready,” to leave the show, which has been airing since 2005, she adds. “Nobody was. I’ve never quit a job in my life without having something else lined up. I don’t know what’s next.”
But Gosselin, 36, whose messy divorce from husband Jon played out in the tabloids – and on TV – in 2009, vows to work hard to keep the lifestyle she’s provided for her kids.
“I told them I will work my fingers to the bone to make sure that they can stay here and go to their school,” she says. “There are no guarantees in life for anyone, but they know that I’m giving it my best shot.”
The final episode of Kate Plus 8 airs Sept. 12 on TLC.
[From People]
Kate has no idea what it means to work her “fingers to the bone.” She’s been making “ends meet” by wagging her fingers, barking orders at people and spending more time on personal grooming than she’s ever bothered to spend with her kids. I have no sympathy for this wench whatsoever. She made a reported $500,000 on Dancing With The Stars. Her take last year was estimated to be around $1 million, but was probably much higher since she was reported to make $250,000 an episode for Kate Plus 8 and there were 17 episodes this season. With some careful planning, that money could last for years. Instead she’s been living the high life, acting like a spoiled teenager, and is now “scared” that her money won’t last. She should have thought of that a long time ago.
Good.
You reap what you sow, lady.
It’s called a “job.” Get one. It’s called “child support.” Get some.
Now, onto the whole “reality” thing: Surely you must know that, unless your last name is Rockefeller or Kennedy or Bush or any of those other filthy-rich-old-money types, sooner or later that gravy train is going to run out.
So you plan accordingly. Invest. Save. Do something other than acting like that money is gonna be rollin’ in forever.
DUH.
I’d be “freaking out big time” when a doctor told me I had cancer and now I’ve gotta tell my 8 kids mommy might not be here any more. Not that our show was cancelled or MY 15 mins of fame was over and done. I guess when one person’s priority is fame and money something very important gets lost or traded in. I can understand you’d want the best for your kids things you’d never have even but don’t get things twisted!
Are you f’ing serious? this woman lives in a 1.5 million mansion on 27 acres of property and has a full-time staff of 4 people working to clean her home and take care of her kids. She is so far removed from reality its not even funny anymore.
How many ostriches did you kill to make that hat, Cruella DeVille?
I love how she makes it about how the kids are not ready for the show to end. Your kids don’t give a crap about the show lady! They probably care more about having a mother who is of the human specie.
She’s looking so washed out. Save what you’ve earned. You may be looking for a real job soon and there aren’t too many out there.
This is why I have more respect for Octo mum. She has yet to sell out her kids.
Sooooo, Ryan Gosling is dating Eva Mendes? Interesting.
Sam@ Not for the lack of trying when she first had her kids she was trying to get a reality show but no one is buy what Octo mum is selling.
Well, she can turn tricks…she already looks and dresses like a washed out prostitute.
First of all, Celebitchy….please let me CONGRATULATE you on this most perfect picture to post! It is the pathetic reality of a very UN-realistic person.
After making all that money, DO NOT cry “poor me” to the tabloids because of your poor choices, KHATE. I am afraid for the children that go to bed at night without a meal or warm clothes or shoes. I am scared because I lost my job over 2 years ago and we lost our home. We adjusted. IT’S WHAT YOU DO, KHATE!! We still have our health (knock on wood), and we have our family.
Get a life KHATE, and take responsibility for your own selfish actions. Don’t ask for the public to help raise your kids anymore….books, tv shows, “poor me” interviews.
I have the children I KNEW I could afford. Did you?
Good riddance. She can go out and get a real job.
It cannot be healthy for her children to know how worried she is about money, losing their house, etc. Those poor kids!
My first thought when I saw the picture with the hat was “Is that Lindsay Lohan?”. Not sure what that means for Kate or Lindsay.
Those kids are adorable.
Poor, Kate. The kids don’t have a job to pay for that new Audi you bought.
If she did not save some of those millions she made, she is a bigger idiot than I thought she was. How’s that for karma bitch? What does Michael K like to say?? Oh yeah – BITCH BOOM BYE.
The definition of fear would be having her for a mother.
I’m thinking she’s going to try to hold out until the oldest two reach 18 (or whatever the # is) & their trust funds become available. I think she’s going to do a Sarah Ferguson & depend on her daughters’ trust fund money to keep living the high life.
Had she choose to save and budget her funds
Maybe this narcissistic bitch wouldn’t be were she is today… However she took advantage of her children and kindness of her viewer’s and has done nothing but take and take and flaunt her frivolous spending …I do not feel sorry for her ..
GET A JOB !! TAKE CARE OF YOUR KIDS..
Wow….typical famewhore. Interesting to count how many ways one can say, “more, more, more.” “I want more, more, more.” Disgusting woman.
I feel bad for the kids but she is a vile person.
Poor kids have to deal with this shrew on a daily basis. I wish the best of luck to them.
@lush33, it means that Lindsay looks like a hard, orange, nearly 40 year old woman with permanent bitchface, and it means that Kate looks like a cracked out druggie. Not a flattering comparison for either person (although I call them “people” only in the loosest of terms).
So let’s see… Her show has been on the air for 6 years and she has made millions from that. She’s written books, and royalties pay quite well. In addition, she’s done that silly dancing show, guest hosted shows, and done who knows how many paid interviews, product endorsements, and paid appearances. Any of the rest of us, that money would last a lifetime, even with eight kids. So how is it that she is now suddenly worried about making ends meet, when the rest of us would be set for life? Ohhh, that’s right, it’s because we aren’t $7000 weave-wearing, orange spray-tanned, selfish, mean, nasty famewhores. How silly of me to forget.
I totally picture her thinking, “But without the show, I’ll have to be a mother to… EIGHT CHILDREN?!”
America’s idea of a ‘celebrity’. ‘Bout time that stupid show got yanked. You yenta’s that supported her are just gonna have to get a life. A real life. Better yet donate to her and her children now. Otherwise she will surely go on welfare and food stamps. Lazy bitch.
It’s already been said, but I agree it’s ‘karma’ bitch.
She had millions chucked at her for no damn good reason. If she is half the parent she claims she will have invested and saved. Now go away.
Something nice: those children are gorgeous.
Oh god what if she sells them out? What if they’re going to start modeling and acting now? Wow that’s exactly where I see this going…
“I’ll work my fingers to the bone…” as their manager.
shes not pretty. no matter what she does, she is genuinely not good looking. even after all that money thrown away.
Why does she always dress like a Two-Dollar Hooker while she’s out & about with her kids? Oh, right, I forgot – she’s just there to look good, not actually take care of them or anything. Gah, her face bugs me so much…can she please just go away now?
No sympathy, she chose to have those children. it was not natural so welcome to reality bitch.
What I think of this Fame- Whore:
Helen Mirren was just on the VIEW where they showed a photo of her in a bikini (for an article that beat out JLO). Ms. Mirren was gracious as always and is very stunning and damn I wish I had her body at 46 yet alone 56 or 66! She is a lady of grace and class.
she takes bad attitude and lack of real social skills to a new level. I want her to define work.
Let’s get one thing straight, Kate. You didn’t quit your show- it was CANCELLED. Meaning your ass got FIRED.
So shut the fuck up already.
@Cirque28 – I think you hit the nail on the head. I am sure she has money put away and that is just the excuse she is giving. The truth is she doesn’t want to parent all those children and neither would I, but then I wouldn’t have had them in the first place.
I loathe this woman.
Oh boo hoo. Maybe if she didn’t spend all her money on stupid shit like her hair, plastic surgery, or whatever else, Kate wouldn’t have to be so worried about the future.
I hope for the sake of the kids this will mean that they’ll get to be with Jon more often. He may have his faults, but at least he’s fun and doesn’t scream at his kids.
Oh, give me a break. Even if she wasn’t aware the show was going to be cancelled this year, she knew it was going to be cancelled at SOME POINT. There’s a lesson in this — don’t have kids if you aren’t sure how you’re going to pay for them. I think the other commenters have gotten it right. Once she figures out everyone is sick of her, she’ll find a new way to exploit her kids while she stays in the background. Or she’s gonna work hard trying to crack their trustfunds open.
Bitch puh-lease! NEXT!
I’m sorry, did I miss the episode where someone put a gun to her head and made her have all those dam kids!
That house should be paid off already…
The bitch is so scared that she bought herself a new Audi…can see the pics on INF. She’s a lying, manipulative, self-promoting, narcissistic shrew who deserves NO ONE’S sympathy.
I’ve been known to peruse a Kate blog or two just for the entertainment value (I’ve never watched her show), and from what I’ve seen she’s as cheap as anything at the dollar store. Her hair’s been comped, and her kids clothes are comped because they wear them on the show. She takes donated items and consigns them. So she hasn’t had to spend much of anything other than necessities — food, lodging, etc. So to now be crying poverty is disingenuous at best.
But what really got me was reading she has had her 7 year olds eating out of high chairs until this summer. WTF????
just watched the infamous “last slice of pizza” episode and was truly appalled at how vile she is. And how completely out of touch with reality she is. For someone who touts herself as being the most organized person on the planet, who always has everything lined up and prepared, she sure as shit fell flat in the whole “financial responsibility” dept. I never thought it before but it’s pretty obvious the bodyguard must be banging her. Their interactions on the show are more like spouses than a detached bodyguard.
Those poor kids.
Why didn’t she make a nest egg for herself and her family? Surely she didn’t think her show would last forever? What she is worried about is losing her grand lifestyle of fancy clothes, manicures and nannies. Be honest Kate, you will miss the money and the fame.
@Atticus: Uh, yeah, about the bodyguard and she states he will still be around, even though she’s “crying poor.”
@bluhare and @Cirque28 – I think you both are right. If you look everyone actually believes she has no money saved up. I mean I could be wrong but I think the truth is she wants to be special and that means being on TV where everybody can look at her and of course she doesn’t want to parent those kids either.
Oh don’t worry about Kate, guys. This bitch knows how to stretch a buck. . .
http://blindgossip.com/?p=24179
I shudder to think what sort of famewhoring is to come. This vile (perfect word) mess is too in love with her own fame and fortune to go quietly.
I’ve pitied those kids for a long time, but also secretly hope someday one of them writes a tell all!
Remember when she was brown haired and Irishy looking with clear pale skin and pink cheeks showing us her belly? So pretty.
Just get the court to order Jon to babysit and clean the house while she works the night shift for the higher rate. The Dilleys can do it, so can she.
I don’t doubt the kids are upset the show is over. That’s were they got all their attention from. The film crews were there to keep an eye on them and make sure they were cared for. Without the cameras they are all left alone with a crazy, angry mother who ignores them.
Kate will be trying to get a reality show about her dating life (because it’s all about her) or try to go on a dating show, while leaving the kids to be cared for by someone else. Her expenses must be really high with 8 kids and a large house. No more comps on everything. The average job is not going to provide for this household.
Kate is too narcissistic to have budgeted for the future after the show ends. She may be more worried that people will now find out she doesn’t have any money saved for her lifestyle or kids. Then there’s the money needed for all the therapy those kids will need. Welcome to the REAL reality show Kate.
GOOD RIDDANCE KATE!!! Her “money train” has run out….well sweetheart, go get a “real” job……perhaps back in nursing? Your sense of self-entitlement is despicable. You are a nothing who has nothing to offer – can’t imagine you’ll be staying in television! Bye Bye
scared? lmao guess you now know how your
kids feel daily with you as their mom and not to mention how your..
ex felt
former nanny’s felt
family felt
and the entire TLC crew felt
reality bites don’t it? you had a great thing kate and pis.sed away on tanning beds, high heeled shoes, highlights and your own ego…bye bye
look at that ugly-assed hat — that i know cost more than my rent. and you just know that she didn’t pay off that mortgage. all that money per episode, and she couldn’t be bothered to secure her children’s homelife — at the very least.
what a selfish, nasty woman. those poor children.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I will never feel sorry for her money troubles. She doesn’t need that mansion and her kids don’t either. She doesn’t need weaves and designer clothes and plastic surgery either. I just hope she saved for her kids education.
I wonder how she’s going to be able to afford her body guard Steve, he’s not going anywhere and no one will believe it isn’t what is and has been for years.Ol’ fraudy Kate should have invested some of those big paychecks for the day the show ended, so goes the 24 acre farm & mansion. She’s nasty so I don’t really care what happens to them but I do think TLC will have a few specials to keep up with the kids if they don’t turn criminal.
A few things:
1. How is she gonna pay her male sexcort now that she’s not getting paid the dollars?
2. Those kids think Mom was bad before? Just wait until the stress of no nannies, no housekeepers, and no HUSBAND hits her.
3. People who harped on Jon being a lazy, good-for-nothing should finally see what he put up with, and how many people it took to replace him in the household. If you watched the show from the beginning, when the ‘tups were babies, you’d know that Jon went to work all day, THEN came home and took over for Kate. He NEVER STOPPED WORKING. Kate got to sleep in on the weekends; Jon never did.
4. Kate’s going to pimp those children out until they reach the age of consent, and then she’s going to PIMP.THEM.OUT. Ostrich hats don’t pay for themselves, you know.
5. She spends over $500k a year for her nannies (who’ve quit, BTW) and her housekeepers.
6. She spends over $100k to send her children to a private school (the one that expelled two of the ‘tups).
7. If you’ve done the math, she’s made over $5mil in the course of the show’s run. That includes the episode fees, book advances and royalties, endorsement deals, speaking fees, etc…
8. IF THE BITCH IS BROKE, IT’S HER OWN DAMN FAULT.
Did you guys hear Kate just got a new car Audi TT sports car.. What about her money troubles and her sob story she sold to People mag. This woman is full of shit can’t believe a single word she says because it’s all lies hell I don’t even think she knows the truth anymore.
http://omg.yahoo.com/blogs/goddess/kate-gosselins-flashy-new-car/716
Yup…Kate is so low on cash that she bought a brand new flashy sports car…
http://omg.yahoo.com/blogs/goddess/kate-gosselins-flashy-new-car/716
I hate that woman.
She’s a really mean person. I’ve only watched clips of the show, but the way she speaks to the children is HORRIBLE. I remember the water-bottle incident, and another time when they were making cookies or something and she rather Madonna-ishly told one little girl she’d better not make a mess, as Her Highness Kate is “not into messes.”
Also, didn’t she recently say she would find a way to get back on TV because she “loves it so much” and it’s “so much fun”? Doesn’t she realize what a mean bitch she looks like? Absolutely delusional.
Wait a minute-she “vows to work hard to keep up the lifestyle SHE’S provided for her kids”?
Shouldn’t that read, “She vows to work hard to pay back her children for the lifestyle her kids provided for her”?
As if she’d have a dime of any of that money without her 6 + 2. Love how she buys the teeny sports car that conveniently does not fit children…with money from a “job” built entirely on their tiny backs.
Countdown till the kids (in some combination) are shopped to Disney and Nickelodeon for their own shows (with mean, scares-small-children Mommy relegated to “behind the scenes,” barking orders at the director and producers). If People is still giving her positive coverage, she might be in negotiations with another subsidiary of their parent (Time Warner) to develop a show. Cartoon Network Gosselins?
That lunatic is going to crack one day. Wait and see.
What did she spend all of her money on?
Oh Please. There is NO WAY this bitch is broke.
This is just her way of keeping her name “relevant” and in the press until someone picks her/her kids up for yet another show.
Just about every trip, meal and outfit was somehow comped. She’s a notorious tightass so if it’s not free she sure the hell isn’t the one paying.
So Kate, stop crying poor when we all know you’re not.
Why is she freaking out. One would imagine that she did or should have put some money aside. Everyone needs a plan B. I have seen her on a few shows talking. And her conversations were about dating..getting back on the market. That a girlfriend of hers is the one that keeps bringing men up for her to meet because she doesn’t know how to do it.
I felt like she was hinting at another reality show. KATE DATES.. It just felt obvious that this was what she wanted. Now that show with the kids is gone. I will not be surprised if she turns up on Dancing with the “fake Stars” one day. I think that Reality TV money and attention is hard to walk away from or leave.
Addictive.
Wow, Kate is totally psychotic and mean. I feel bad for the kids. That episode where the nannies quit was the worst! The kids were crying and looking scared. That’s not good parenting to fall apart over a freaking slice of pizza, imo.
boo fricking hoo your minute of fame is over finally! your kids can have a normal life now,you fame whore.Your just concerned about all the stuff you won’t be able to afford anymore like your fake hair ,nails,boobs, stuff for the bodyguard you don’t need ! please why do you need a bodyguard ???? good ridance now gooooooo awayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
She’ll no longer have a reason for a bodyguard. Ha.
People like this drive me crazy. Be respsonible with your money. America is in deep enough sh!t as it is.
Bitch is soo concerned about money being tight, she went out an bought a $50,000 + Audi.
Don’t you just love how she’s crying poverty to ‘People’ mag and the next day or so she goes out and buys a very expensive car.
Honestly, some people have zero self-awareness.
This chick disgusts me.
I just saw on E! News that she bought herself a 2 door Audi car (I think that was what it was), claiming that it was a ‘good deal’- *rolls eyes*.
If you are truly scared about money etc, and you have a billion kids, you don’t go off and buy yourself a sports car that you’d be lucky to get 2 of your kids in.
It is time she came crashing back down to reality and got herself a real job again. She has kids to support.
I don’t know about the law in the USA, but in this country a huge stack of the money from those shows would have to have gone into trust for the children, because it was exploiting them. That would mean that their school fees and housing costs could be met from the interest. Is that not the same over there? To be fair, though, if she had 8 kids before the show started, she knows what it is to work hard. Maybe not for very many years, but twins alone are bloody hard work. Twins plus sextuplet babies… man. I’ve never seen the show so I’ll have to take everyone else’s word for her being a witch, but she isn’t a lazy witch. Nobody with that number of multiple babies could be.
Can someone enlighten me on how she had a second multiple birth like that? They can’t usually use ovulation enhancing drugs unless the woman is infertile, and she already had twins?
CHECK THIS OUT!!!! She JUST bought a new Audi!!!!!!!!!!!! A FREAKING 2 SEATER!!!!!!!!
http://omg.yahoo.com/blogs/goddess/kate-gosselins-flashy-new-car/716
It boggles the mind why khate gooselin thinks she is “ENTITLED” to be taken cared of by America. I read khate stated “we” [the working people] should maintain this lavish life because the sextuplets were the result of a “BOTCHED” technology. I don’t remember any khate gooselin asking for advise if she should go through with her “IVF.” Well, it “ALL TOOK” and hence sextuplets. Now, khate gooselin why do I have to give you my hard earned money – it was your choice. I read Jon “does not want to add any more to the twins” but you insisted. Now, you are crying “poor me.” But, the following day is running around in a new sportscar. All the money you earned – hopefully you have saved. Poor khate gooselin [or are you?] I
Did she think she would have a tv show until all those kids became adults? What a lunatic. She wasted so much of that money on herself, when it’s the inside she should have been fixing, not her boobs and tummy tucks. Sell the big house, get a job and shut up, nobody forced you to have so many kids.
