Kate Gosselin Surprised Networks Unwilling To Sign New Reality Show
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/22/kate-gosselin-new-reality-show_n_1536438.html?ref=mostpopular
Kate Gosselin has made it no secret that she wants to return to TV, following the cancellation of her TLC series "Kate Plus 8." However, landing a new gig is proving to be much harder than she thought.
Kate had no idea it would be this difficult to sell another show based around her and her family, one TV executive tells me. Its hard to be on the cover of magazines one week and just a few months later not have people return your calls.
On Monday morning, Kate revealed on the "Today" show that her kids are doing great, but admitted they do miss filming.
<<<<<snip>>>>>>
A spokesperson for WE tells me Kate will not be calling that channel her new home, and Oxygen and Lifetime insiders says they have no interest in Kate either.
Hey Kate - why don't you do something silly like find a REAL job

Somewhere out there Jon is laughing hysterically.

(37,648 posts)But a person with 8 kids probably can't have a normal job. The childcare costs alone would probably be more than her salary.
I hope she saved all the $$$ from her reality show. It was on a long time,and I'm sure she and her family got paid a lot of money, in addition to perks and gifts from companies. I would think she has enuf to pay for college for all her kids, and enough to pay for her living costs for awhile.
Her husband has to pay child support, I guess.

Maybe we'll soon see the day when people realize that burrito crafters at Taco Bell have more marketable and interesting skills than the entire Kardashian family.

Ugly apparition, God's gift to oxygen
The puffed up immortal son
How they love him cause he'll become
The ghost at number one
How does it feel
To be the only one?
How does it feel
To be the only one that knows that you're right?
How does it feel
To be a loaded gun?
How does it feel
Inside a chamber packed with piss and spite?
Sure life's no cherry but a cupake for the meek
So he shoots up his poison until the frosting tastes so sweet
Yeah he's givin' it all he's got the king of rebels hit the jackpot
But his finish line was an artistic flop
Even the critics can't outrun
The ghost at number one
How does it feel
To be the only one?
How does it feel
To be the only one that knows that you're right?
How does it feel
To be a chalkline dollar sign
How does it feel
Up at the address all the widows write?
Mrs.Lynn the fruit of your labour
Gives us a saviour, nappy superstar.
To you we bid congratulations, to him adulation.
A blessed life begun, for the ghost at number one.
How does it feel
To be the only one?
How does it feel
To be the only one that knows that you're right?
How does it feel
To be a visionary poet
How does it feel
To pack a pen with vinegar and insight
How does it feel
To be the only one?
How does it feel
To be the only one that knows that you're right?
How does it feel
To be a so deep down underground?
How does it feel
To be the only one who knows you've been buried alive?
Mrs Lynn the fruit of your labour
Gives us a saviour.
