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 toÂ be super hard!

Kate Gosselin Says Dancing With the Stars Not More Important than Kids

Appearing on NBC’s Today show on Tuesday, Kate Gosselin said being a single mom has left her with no choice but to take gigs like Dancing With the Stars. Gosselin said she is not choosing fame over her kids, but she “has to provide” somehow for her eight children.

“I’ve got to work harder now than ever because I am a single mom,” Kate Gosselin said on the Today show. “In my heart, I’m always in my kitchen, baking and cooking for my kids, and I’ll always be there,” Gosselin said. “It’s a struggle to be here [in New York], to be anywhere… The emotion that you see is because I would rather be at home with them.”

“It’s a struggle that every working mom, especially single moms, go through, and I’m really feeling it now, and it’s really hard,” Gosselin added.

In addition to appearing on Dancing With the Stars, Kate Gosselin is also practicing constantly with partner Tony Dovolani at home in her basement and promoting her new book, I Just Want You to Know. Gosselin says that she does everything she can to make time for her kids when she is not working.

“I am on the first flight as soon as the show lets me out, and that’s my night of sleep. I get home, and I dance, and I am done by the time they get home from school, and I spend the rest of the week with them,” she said. “But I make the most of every minute I have with them… When I’m home, we make those little spots of time really big in our memories.”

Kate Gosselin and ex-husbandÂ Jon Gosselin are due in court May 25 for a custody hearing on the former couple’s eight children. Jon Gosselin has filed a motion seeking primary custodyÂ of the kids, calling his ex-wife an “absentee mom.”

Jon Gosselin is apparently eager to get back with ex-wife Kate Gosselin – at least on TV. The former Jon & Kate Plus 8 reality TV dad says he is “definitely open” to co-starring with his former wife on a new TV project.

Of course, since Jon Gosselin is reportedly preparing to sue Kate Gosselin for full custody of their kids, we’re thinking she’s probably not very open to that idea. Still, Jon Gosselin doesn’t seem to think a little thing like a nasty custody battle should interfere in his quest to get back on television.

Gosselin’s attorney told TMZ.com his client would certainly be happy to consider co-starring with his ex-wife on a new TV program “under the right circumstances.” One condition of such collaboration, Gosselin’s attorney said, would be a much “tighter” contract. Jon Gosselin got slammed by TLC not long ago for allegedly breaching his contract with the network by doing interviews and endorsements without their permission.

Last week, Jon Gosselin’s lawyer revealed the former reality TV dad was preparing to sue Kate Gosselin for full custody of their eight children because her quest for fame is “damaging his kids.” Gosselin claims his ex-wife is an “absentee mom” who cares more about her career than the welfare of her children, citing her gig on Dancing With the Stars as an example.

Then, naturally, Jon Gosselin turns right around and talks about how he wants to get some of that fame back for himself. Well, considering he’s unemployed and paying out huge loads of cash to Kate Gosselin in spousal support, we’re not surprised. We’re pretty sure Kate Gosselin will be telling him to stuff it all the way around. And a judge isn’t likely to award full custody of their kids to a man with pretty much no job and a shaky string of girlfriends rotating through his door.

Dancing With the Stars diva Kate Gosselin will be returning to TLC with a new reality show. The new series, Twist of Kate, will begin airing 12 episodes this summer. The whole idea of Kate Gosselin stretching out her long expired 15 minutes of fame yet again puts a nasty twist in our stomach.

Kate Gosselin’s new show will feature the reality TV mom using “fan letters from women inspired by her story as the basis for profiles of women facing their own challenges,” according to USA Today. Why is it that a reality show supposedly about profiling other women somehow makes Kate Gosselin sound even more narcissistic and self-involved? Someone bring us the Tums and Pepto, stat!

Twist of Kate will not focus on Gosselin’s children, but the 8 kids will reportedly return to TV in several Kate Plus 8 specials. So, basically, using the children to raise cash to pay for their own nannies… gotta love that. Ex-husband Jon Gosselin, of course, will mostly likely be notably absent from any kind of filming (or earning) going on.

“I look at it as a loose concept,” Kate Gosselin said of her new reality show. “I want to be out there learning from others, helping to provide insight whenever I can, though I don’t consider myself an expert on anything.”

Let’s just hope no one needs any advice about dancing, because obviously Kate Gosselin is definitely the furthest thing from expert in that area!

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’.
