Mothers of daughters – would you ever, in any universe, want your daughters to turn out at all like the Kardashian girls? Even with all the cash and luxury goods that go along with that, we’re talking vapid, baby-voiced, narcissistic plastic surgery victims. Maybe Khloe is a semi-decent person and Kourtney is tolerable, but Kim? I mean, even though these women were adults when they entered into this reality show, fame for fame’s sake career path, they changed into warped versions of themselves. And even if you argue that only Kim changed significantly, she’s enough of a cautionary tale about entering into show business without having any discernible talent to trade on.

Well Kate Gosselin doesn’t seem to care. She sees all the wonderful things that fame has brought her – like a new face, a married paid-for boyfriend, a huge house and lots of stuff, and she wants that for her daughters. Anything else, like an education or a normal life outside of the spotlight, would be “mediocre.” Kate has reportedly reached out to pimp mama Kris Jenner for help on “how to turn the Gosselin kids into a money-making machine” like the Kardashians. We’ve seen where that train is getting off and it’s not pretty.

Fallen reality TV star Kate Gosselin is turning to Kris Jenner to save her tanking career!

Cash-hungry Kate is hoping [Kris]… can help reinvent HER family as the next Hollywood dynasty, sources say.

“Kate has reached out to Kris hoping she’ll mentor her on how to turn the Gosselin kids into a money-making machine,” a source divulged.

“Kate wants her family to be Kardashian 2.0!…”

In a bid to rebiuld their brand, Kate is enrolling the children in singing and acting classes, and planning a move to Hollywood…

“Kate got Kris’ e-mail address and sent her a gushing note about how much she admires Kris for turning her family into international superstars,” the source divulged.

“Kate ended the note by saying, ‘I hope you can teach me some of your magic tricks.'”…

“Kate is praying this new friendship will lead to a meeting with executives at the E! network, where the Kardashian TV empire is based,” said the source.

I believe this. Kate is desperate for some kind of career and she’s probably reaching out to Kris as a last ditch lifeline. Kris’ empire is crumbling though, and she’s not going to be able to help her at all. E! knows that they can’t continue to build their schedule around this family and they see the writing on the wall. The Gosselins are even older news than the Kardashians. Kate should accept her fate as a spokesperson for CouponCabin.

You remember how Kate’s new face was a minor topic last week? US Weekly speculated that Kate had a face lift, while Radar got a plastic surgeon who guessed that she’d had a new-fangled treatment involving fat transfers to the face. A Beverly Hills plastic surgeon named Ashkan Ghavami told Radar: “She will have had it injected into fat pockets in her face to get the lines filled and plump up the skin. If it’s not done precisely it can make you look slightly wide and distorted, which is what has happened to Kate.” So all of you who commented that her face looked smooshed were right. Kate just penned a very brief blog entry for CouponCabin denying that she’s had a face lift. Of course she didn’t mention anything about getting any other treatments at all.
