Kate Gosselin Depressed Over Dancing With the Stars Criticism

Poor, pitiful Kate Gosselin. The former Jon & Kate Plus 8 reality TV mom is apparently taking the criticism of the Dancing With the Stars judges quite hard. Gosselin was picked apart by the judges yet again Monday night after her lackluster dance performance and it seems all the negativity about her dancing skills is getting her down.

Kate Gosselin got creamed by the judges yet again after her fox trot Monday night, scoring a sad 15 for her routine with partner Tony Dovolani. We kind of love that judge Bruno Tonioli told Dovolani he would be better off dancing with “a coat hanger.” Harsh!

“I had fun, and they didn’t seem to notice,” Kate Gosselin told Entertainment Tonight. “It’s starting to creep in a little bit. Tonight, I was trying to hold back horrible emotions… probably not on live TV should I be standing there crying in front of the judges… It’s getting a little difficult. I’m depressed, sort of.”

Frankly we’d probably be a bit depressed if we were embarrassing ourselves on national television the same way Kate Gosselin is on Dancing With the Stars. Although we do have to give her a little bit of props for actually managing to smile while dancing at the same time this week! That has to be super hard!

Kate Gosselin Dancing With the Stars?

Rumor has it former Jon and Kate Plus 8 star Kate Gosselin will be kicking up her heels on the next season of Dancing With the Stars. The official cast list for the new DWTS season hasn’t been announced yet, but various sources are reporting Kate Gosselin will be among the competitors.

Radio host Lisa Stanley reportedly said Kate Gosselin has been practicing for Dancing With the Stars “under a shroud of security,” according to BuddyTV.com. Gosselin previously told Jay Leno she’d like to do Dancing With the Stars, despite her admission that she “so cannot dance. It would be a sad sight.”

The official cast of Dancing With the Stars season 10 will be announced during The Bachelor finale on Monday. Other rumored contestants include diver Greg Louganis, John Stamos, Kevin Federline and Olympic gold medalist Evan Lysacek. As for the pros, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Cheryl Burke and Derek Hough will reportedly be returning this year, but Karina Smirnoff, Jonathan Roberts and Lacey Schwimmer will not.

Frankly, we’re not sure if we really believe Kate Gosselin would be lame enough to abandon her eight children for the grueling rehearsal schedule of Dancing With the Stars. On the other hand, it might be pretty damn amusing to watch her getting skewered by the DWTS judges — so we actually do kind of hope the rumor is true in that regard. But we’d still feel pretty lousy for the kids if mom decided to dump them on the nannies yet again for the sake of her ‘career’.
