Kate's Birthday Weekend, Will Kate Gosselin Go Home First? Jon's Breakup

FOX411.COM: After stumbling through the first broadcast of "Dancing with the Stars," Kate Gosselin is one nervous mother of eight. An ABC insider tells Fox411 that the reality TV mom is shaking in her high heels after this week's first show, in which she gave one of the program's worst performances. "Kate is terrified that she'll be the first person voted off and she is determined not to let that happen," a network source told Fox411. "She is a lot more focused than she was leading up to the first show. Kate finally realized how hard 'DWTS' is going to be for her and she needs [her partner] Toni [Davolini]'s help."

The source said Gosselin thought she could charm he way through the contest. Not anymore. "There was a time when she cared more about her nails and tanning and continuing her regular workouts. Now, it's all about the kids first and dancing second." Monday night's DWTS debut was almost more than Kate could bear, the source said. "Kate struggled to get through the show. She knew the producers planned for her to go towards the end of the show, but it only served to make her so much more nervous that by the time she was set to dance," said our insider. "She's trying to get her mindset prepared for next week. It is harder than she imagined." Our insider added that rumors of on-set tensions between Gosselin and the rest of the cast - especially Shannen Doherty - are overblown.

"[Kate]'s not unfriendly. She is quiet and keeps to herself and her small team," the source explained. "Kate and Shannen have talked and there's no rift - everyone is friendly and cordial onset. The competitors are trying to remember their routines so there isn't a lot of time for socializing." So how does Gosselin plan to turn her fortunes around on Monday? "She told [her partner] Toni she will listen to every single thing he says. She wants to stay in the competition." And if she can't improve her performance?"She will play the mom card," said our insider. "She hopes that her great support system of moms everywhere will help vote to keep her in."

Gosselin: 'Children liked my DWTS debut': Digitalspy.com

Kate Gosselin has revealed that her children were happy with her first performance on Dancing With The Stars. The reality star only scored 16 points from the judges after her Viennese waltz with partner Tony Dovolani on Monday's show.
However, Gosselin told Access Hollywood that the only thing her children didn't like was that the programme was on after their bedtime."They had nothing but good stuff to say, so that's all I'm worried about really," she explained. "Leah said, 'Mummy, why do you have to dance so late?'"
Gosselin also defended her decision to split her time between her home and training for the show in Los Angeles. "I'm up against the hard spot of tabloids painting me one way or another, and the whole experience of the last couple of years," she said. "So I'd like to show people that I'm a mum first... but it's okay to have fun sometimes." Kelly Osbourne recently urged viewers to give Gosselin "a break" for appearing on the show.

Jon Gosselin Dumped by 25-Year-Old Girlfriend: Us Weekly.com
Jon Gosselin is a single man once more. After less than two months together, Morgan Christie, 25, has broken up with Gosselin, 32, a source confirms to UsMagazine.com. "It's true," the insider says, explaining that Christie first initiated the split. "He's a mess and feels like a loser." Gosselin met the youthful-looking Christie, a law school student, while snowboarding in Utah. (He parted ways with former love Hailey Glassman in late December, when his divorce from Kate Gosselin was also finalized.)

Gosselin and Christie were inseparable during January's Sundance Film Festival in Park City, where they shocked partygoers. "Tons of PDA, holding hands, kissing," one witness told UsMagazine.com of the pair. "Anyone who saw him remarked how inappropriate it was." As Jon's ex-wife rehearsed for Dancing With the Stars in L.A. and at home in Wernersville, Penn., he had been staying at the "massive mansion" owned by his girlfriend's wealthy family. What about his eight kids back home? "Kate won't let Jon have extra custody," a source explained in a recent issue of Us Weekly. "She thinks they're better off with a nanny."

Kate Gosselin & Lady GaGa Share The Same Birthday! Happy Birthday Kate!

  1. Wow. Hard to imagine that Fox had a single kind word for Kate since they are such huge supporters of Jon. Also, every photo of Jon that I see , poor guy has gained more weight. At least it was one photo where he wasn't puffing away on the cancer sticks.

  2. I agree with Linda on Jon's weight- maybe he'll be on the next Celebrity Fit Club?!?!! I'm calling it now!! lmao

    Happy Birthday Kate & good luck this week on DWTS!

  3. WOW...been super busy with the kids for the past couple of days, and just spent the last hour + reading everyone's comments on the last post.

    I'm having flashbacks to last summer with the number of comments...I'm going to have to get back in the habit of checking the site more frequently so I can keep up :)

    I am not surprised that Jon is out of yet another relationship, but I still hope he wakes up one day (SOON) and figures out what is important to him and grows up.

    Can't wait for Monday night, I hope Kate let's go of some of her insecurities and nerves and gives a better performance.

  4. Interesting that it's always the negative stories that are a "source". Nice to hear Billy Bush and Kelly Osbourne's supportive comments. Sometimes in divorce if one parent is dealing with issues, or lacks stability, it's actually easier on the kid's if the contact is limited. When the parent is healthy again and ready to be a responsible parent, visitation resumes. Sometimes this is a mutual agreement between parent's. SG Great Disney Blog plan on reading the whole thing once all my kiddo's are sleeping.

  5. Of course sources aren't named in negative stories. People are risking their jobs when they do this. Nothing odd about it at all.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Ohh please are you for real with that comment? It also means that any magazine can write whatever crap and lies they want without getting sued. Or at least they can just lie and pray that they don't get sued. In Touch and The National Inq. are the best examples of that.. Please, the lies they write about her is rediculous. Almost as rediculous as the fact that you beleive them.

  7. Thanks momsby.

    Hope, great story! Disney IS magic. My one daughter swears she can only swim in the Disney pool because it is magical. Right now I am planning on Nov 5-21. 16 nights! We would go longer but the girls are in school and we don't want to go during Thanksgiving because it's too crowded.

  8. Jon left Park City after being kicked out of Morgan's parents house. He is now MIA and I am still on the hunt. Hailey is apparently moving to LA to be a reality TV Star...Like we didn't see THAT coming...

    From RADAR: Jon Gosselin’s ex-girlfriend, Hailey Glassman, says she’s ready to put the past behind her, like 3,000 miles behind her, and is about to embark on an exciting new career – as a reality TV star!

    In an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com, Hailey Glassman said she’s moving to Los Angeles to follow in her ex’s footsteps and star on a reality TV show.

    “I’m moving out in August and probably moving to the Santa Monica area,” Hailey told RadarOnline.com. “I was offered to do a show called Starting Over, which will be about me leaving New York and all the negative behind me.”

  9. I forgot to add that there are rumors Jon will make a cameo on said show when they show the videotape of himself ramsacking his own place for publicity, including buying that stupid cheap steak knive at Walmart...lol

  10. Just Wondering said..
    Nothing odd about it at all.
    So does that mean everything we read about Kate is true? Thats great, because there seem's to be alot more positive sources being quoted these day's.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I personally think some of the unnamed "sources" are true and some aren't. The problem is we don't know which ones they are.

    I think some people would comment anonymously if they have something to lose. Look at Mark Ballas... he made a comment about Kate being "standoffish" and there was a backlash and he later claimed his comment was "taken out of context". I'm sure after that he wished he had said it anonymously.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Who is going to watch Hailey on her own tv show? I don't even find her interesting in a train wreckish sort of way.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Hailey is running with that last 3 minutes she has from the 15 and taking what she can get. Good for her. Apparently no one can find Jon to even call him stubby no less get back her supposed $200,000 he owes her. Nice to know that there are people with that kind of liquid cash to just throw around. lol...And who is exactly going to watch this and why?? But then again, there is so much crap on nowadays I see this on Oxygen after the Bad Girls Club...watch

    ReplyDelete
  14. That is why I rarely watch t.v. all the crap! I just can't see anyone giving Hailey her own show, can you imagine? What would it be about? I don't know why but it just sounds icky to me.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I've been saying this for months now, "Where the heck are that girls parent's".

  16. In order to print a story, you are supposed to verify the source, but you NEVER have to name the source. Reporters have gone to prison to protect the sources of their information rather than divulge names. And don't rag on the tabloids so much. The National Enquirer is the one that busted John Edwards, after all. The tabloids have uncovered some very interesting stories in the last few years that magazines like People have tried to keep buried. People is stricly for PR spin and publicity purposes.

  17. That last thread wore me out. Just finished reading the comments. It left me wondering:
    Couldn't you just put all the Disney stuff on it's own thread??? It's depressing me, who hasn't vacationed since 1997. Honeymoon.
    BTW BM you aren't quite right on the whole costume situation for DWTS. Based on what you wrote, I thought they just picked a costume off a rack. It made me wonder because I know a successful show like DWTS has a HUGE budget. So I googled it, and it's actually REALLY hard work. New costumes are made for each and every dance number. At least, according to the costume designer. Here's a link I found:

    ReplyDelete
  18. Hmmmm... after reading that article about how they do the costumes - I wonder how they are working that with Kate since she isn't in CA on the days they do the fittings and such?!

    ReplyDelete
  19. HMMMMM?
    Hailey doing Starting Over.
    Kate doing Fish Out Water.

    Looks like somebody is a copycat and trying to get in the game.

    Momsby, I agree with you about TV. I do so much channel surfing and then shut the thing off and go do something else. The quality of cable tv is going downhill. JMO!

    Oh, Don't worry about Jon, my sources told me he is on his way home to see the kids. Now should I get sued for saying that or is it true.! lol Maybe Kate should let him sleep over the garage and then he will stay out of trouble????? lol

    I woke up in a happy mood today. Cu!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Sources are now accusing me of moving Jon into my basement in exchange for sexual favors, Ed Hardy Tees & CZ studs...
    Those darn sources!

    ReplyDelete
  21. I just hope my hubby is out on Monday night. He gets so annoyed when I watch Kate and freaks out when I get on here.

    Baby Mama - LOL. Ed Hardy tees!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Well, I guess Kate celebrated her birthday with her kids a day early, she's already off to CA:

    "RADAR.COM: She’s not wearing her dancing shoes, but Kate Gosselin is heading back to Los Angeles for what she hopes is not her last dance. The reality TV star packed her bags Saturday and loaded the car with help from her long-time bodyguard Steve Neil. After her debut on Dancing With The Stars last week, Kate told RadarOnline.com that dancing was harder than having sextuplets.

    Kate wowed the audience with her new glam look but the judges were less impressed with her dancing and gave her low scores. Still, as you can see by these new photos, Kate is retaining the glam look off camera as well! Now she hopes to avoid elimination on the ABC hit show, which debute to 23.9 million viewers, the biggest opening night number in its 10 seasons.


    While Neil helped her with the suitcase, his wife remained at Kate’s Wernersville, PA home to help take care of the kids. Kate has previously said the Neilds were her biggest support system as she went through her separation from Jon Gosselin.

    Kate had a dance floor put in her Pennsylvania home so she could spend less time in Los Angeles and more with her children. She is reportedly earning $200,000 for her appearance on the ABC hit show. When some people criticized Kate for leaving home to be on TV she pointed out that with eight children to feed she’d be working double shifts as a nurse and have virtually no time to spend with her children. And Kelly Osbourne, who was on Dancing With The Stars last season, rushed to Kate’s defense saying: “People really need to give her a break. She has eight kids to feed, remember that.”

    Kate, whose partner on the show is Tony Dovolani, practiced a few dance moves Saturday before heading to the airport. She and Dovolani danced a Viennese waltz last Monday to Billy Joel’s She’s Always a Woman to Me. They received a score of 16."

  23. Great video !
    I did one too

  24. So Kate flew the kids to California, huh? I thought she would hold that card for her last hand. Maybe this is her last show? Lining up the kids with their matchy matchy outfits could get her a couple of votes, I guess.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Happy Birthday Kate! Watching Sextuplets & Twins one year later, while cleaning & feeding the kids lunch. I miss seeing the kids so little and cute, & of course seeing Jon & Kate together. Seeing the Glassmans is very odd given the circumstances.

    I hope today while they practice they take the time to enjoy her special day!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Baby Mama, I felt the same way when I watched that episode with the Glassmans recently. It went through my mind that Mrs Glassman probably wouldn't be offering her husband's services anymore. I also did notice that they seeemed kind of naive. I just hope they don't let Hailey on dwts. I also hope Kate got to do something nice with the kids to celebrate her birthday. That birthday episode they had last year was really sad.

    ReplyDelete
  27. It was sad to see how sweet they were to each other at that time, and how Jon was supportive and loving to Kate. Of course the best part was seeing the kids faces when their mommy came home.

    What I loved about it was how amazing Kate was as a mom having the patience to handle so much with the kids, not yet aware of all that was going on with the hurtful comments made on the internet about her.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I'm so bummed that I'm going to miss DWTS tomorrow night! Bah, stupid work. Anyway, since I think there are a lot of DWTS newbies watching for Kate, I wanted to note that it's not like American Idol- you can start voting right away to make sure you get through. Kate's number is going to be the same through the whole competition. DWTS has embraced the idea that people are going to vote for their favourites no matter what, so they open the lines pretty much right away. Go Kate go!

    ReplyDelete
  29. That episode is one of my favs too. I love the look on the kids faces when she comes home and it's nice to watch back to when Jon was better.

    I love the b-day episode from last year because it combined 2 of my favorite shows. :)

    Anyways....Happy Birthday Kate! I'll be watching and voting tomorrow!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Hope you had a fabulous birthday Kate!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Or maybe, Just Wondering, Kate flew the kids out this week because they have off of school next week. It may be the only chance they will get to see her perform live even if Kate lasts several more weeks. Of course, why should I expect you to consider the most logical reason rather than the one that is most negative and nasty?

    ReplyDelete
  32. The kids school break was 2 weeks ago

    ReplyDelete
  33. I'm just wondering, do other parent's on the show bring their kids? It seem's to me it would be a really fun experience. The Gosselin kid's have had a pretty rough year, what an exciting thing to be able to do on their March Break.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I don't think Kate would take the kids to DWTS. It would be a big distraction for her in this stage of the game. She couldn't concentrate on her dance. Radar on line said they stayed home and Steves' wife was helping take care of them. Now what source said she took them. Just wondering??

    ReplyDelete
  35. Momsby, there was a little boy in the audience last week. I don't remember whose. I don't think there is anything wrong with kids going if they don't have school and they stay for a few days because of the time change. It would be nice if they could do something fun out there.

    Do the kids have off this coming week? There is a rumor going around that they were seen at Philly airport on Friday. I guess we will find out tomorrow.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I'm sorry but I think it's just weird that Steve's wife is taking care of Kate's kids while Kate is off traveling with her husband, especially amidst all the rumors. I'm not saying I believe the rumors but the whole thing is just odd. Steve doesn't really seem like a bodyguard anyway. Kate goes out all the time in PA with and without the kids and he's never there. She's never bothered by anyone. The paps have filmed her before and Steve was never there to protect her. Why does she need a bodyguard at DWTS?

    ReplyDelete
  37. I have no idea if they are off or not I read further up on the thread that they were. I know if it was me, my kid's would love it. It seem's like once in a lifetime experience for Kate and the kid's. I don't really understand why it has become such a negative issue for some folks.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Don't know about the Gosselin kids and their breaks. Our kids in private school were off two weeks ago AND are also off this coming week. I think it would be great for the kids to be there if possible. However, in 24 hours we will know.

    Just Wondering used to upset me with his/her (not sure which) comments. Of course, the point of those GWOPerish comments is to stir up others, spread the hate, and villify Kate. While entitled to his/her opinion, it is very sad to have to keep reading the churlish remarks on a fan site. However, it is Baby Mama's blog to moderate as she wishes.

    I think it is rather pointless to expend the energy to try to educate Just Wondering to anything other than negativity. I'm convinced that even if this person spent a day with Kate and found her charming, it would be turned around and something stupid said such as, it wasn't the real Kate but somebody TLC hired to hoodwink her by pretending. You can educate people about a lot of things (hey SG even changed my opinions on the circus). But when you have someone who is so sad that they take everything negatively, it's just a waste of energy.

    Whether Kate is on DWTS for one week or the whole season, I for one will enjoy seeing her. I'm pretty courageous I think, but it's for sure I'd never have the courage to do that show live in front of millions of viewers and judges who for the most part only get paid to say offensive things. But that is what makes the show. I'll just enjoy Kate for whatever length of time she appears. And, I congratulate her for providing an income for her family.

    Go Kate!

  40. Oh my gosh. And Just Wondering believes the garbage that Preesi has on her blog also! This junk really sets my teeth on edge.

    ReplyDelete
  41. First of all, Preesi is a vile sick individual and I pray for her. Just Wondering feeds on pissing people off. Don't get pulled into it...Tonight is gonna be huge. I will be doing a new post when I get a break today. It's Spring Break, raining and mierable, and all the kids are home...What to do what to do! lol

  42. I didn't bother responding to justwondering because it's what she wants. I also pray for her. People like them are what makes life hard some times and destroys my faith in humanity for a second. She goes on IW and spews her crap too. She must think she is THAT important that our lives would not be complete if we did not hear her opinion. All I have to say is when ever I see her name or preesi's on any of my fav sites I throw up a little in my mouth(to quote my favorite happy bunny).

  43. Craftymomof3~ Thank you for your constant loyalty and for always taking the words right out of my mouth ;) Apparently they followed me over to my sister site and I do not like that one bit! I sigh thinking about GDNNOP (Gosselins Do Not Need Our Pity). I miss that site and tell them all the time, but I understand that they are busy with their own thriving site IW !
