Kate Gosselin is a busy woman these days. She's going back and forth between Pennsylvania and Los Angeles, trying to raise her eight children, putting out a new book, getting ready for a new television series, and trying to learn dances to perform on Dancing With The Stars. Later tonight, we will see her perform a tango with her partner. Over the weekend, she was seen out in Pennsylvania. She needed to get her nails done. That was her last stop before jumping on a plane to be in Los Angeles for today's show. As for the custody suit with her ex-husband, Jon Gosselin - that is still making news. Kate's attorney still claims that Jon's case is full of holes, and he is trying to get it tossed out of court completely. Her attorney has stated the following: "There is no 'Jon Gosselin' exception to the Pennsylvania [law]." TMZ has the full set of legal documents filed by Jon Gosselin here. What do you think? Should his case be thrown out? Are you rooting for Kate on Dancing With The Stars this week?
Kate Gosselin's 'difficult' struggle balancing work and motherhood: 'It's tough, but I won't quit':NYDailyNews.com
Kate Gosselin gives a whole new meaning to working mom. In between balancing her stint on "Dancing with the Stars," being a mother to eight children and dealing with a custody battle with her ex-husband, the frazzled reality star says this time in her life has been "very difficult."
"I can't put my life aside and dance for six hours a day," Gosselin, 35, told E! Online from a New York dance studio. "It's not my lack of ability, but lack of presence. I struggle with this every day." She added, "I have determination. I will not quit! It's tough, but I am not a quitter."And for the reality mom, that means not giving up despite the harsh criticism she receives every week from the "DWTS" judges. "I take just their constructive criticism parts. I'm pretty used to taking criticism in general. I have to feel good about the dance and myself," said Gosselin, whose new TLC show "Twist of Kate" was announced on Thursday. Her children also have positive thoughts about her performances, despite not comprehending her recent paso doble routine to Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi.""They didn't understand the storyline, but they understand who the paparazzi are," she said, adding that they don't always get to watch her live on the show. "The kids fall asleep before I get to dance. One child asked me, 'Can you please dance earlier?'" She continued, "They worry about what I look like. They say Tony looks good. They say I look beautiful." In an effort to ease her nerves and work around her hectic schedule, Gosselin's dance partner, Tony Dovolani, said he is trying "everything in my arsenal."
"A dance teacher needs to understand the psyche and bring out the best in the student. I strongly believe in her," he told E! "The very first words she said on our show was, 'I want to win.' I told her today that I still see the possibility of her winning."
Hello Gosselin Fans! Danncing with the Stars continues Monday evening with the fourth night of season 10 competitive action. The nine remaining couples are slated to take on either the fiery Tango or the passionate, sexy Rumba, and for an added twist, they'll receive two sets of scores: One for technical elements, and the other for artistic flavor. How do you think Kate will do? Will she make it another week?
Kate Gosselin Proves Her Strength, Note To Haters: Backseatcuddler.comMy point is, Kate Gosselin really isn’t doing anything wrong but, she’s always being blasted for working hard and pursuing a career, and perhaps some of her dreams. Why does Kate have to defend herself for doing what everyone else in Hollywood is doing? Sure she came across a bit (sometimes a lot) on the ‘witchy’ side on Jon & Kate Plus 8. I can’t say that I’d be any different if I was married to Jon Gosselin and had eight kids to care for. I am sure you all will continue to point the finger at Kate Gosselin, ignoring all of your own faults. But, I sure wish you’d give the woman a break. She deserves one.
Kate Gosselin keeps a strong front going no matter what she is going through. Her ex-husband Jon Gosselin is dragging her through another round of hell, attempting to take the kids away from her with a bunch of unfounded claims. But, Kate is continuing on, not throwing in the towel. It seems like most of the public loves to hate on Kate Gosselin. Everyone seems to have found perfection in themselves and decided that calling out Kate Gosselin is now their right. Funny thing is, most of those hating Kate, don’t have any kids, much less eight of them. So perhaps they have no idea what they are actually judging. Also, I find it odd that Kate is being slammed for nannies caring for her kids while she’s at work. Yet, all the other celebrity actors, Hollywood types, etc have nannies taking care of their kids full time and no one bats an eye… Hello, Brangelina?
DWTS' Brooke Burke: I Want Kate Gosselin "to Pull Through":UsMagazine.com
Despite many reports of her diva-like behavior on Dancing with the Stars, Kate Gosselin has at least one fellow mom in her corner: the show's co-host Brooke Burke. "I have such a soft spot for her," Burke told UsMagazine.com at Thursday's Four Seasons Spa relaunch party in Westlake Village, Calif. "I want her to pull through just as a woman and a mother. I want her to be able to conquer it even if it's only for one night." While Burke concedes that the DWTS judges "aren't really making anything up" with their harsh critiques of Gosselin's dance routines, she lamented, "I just wish they would give her a little bit of a break...She has got it a little tougher than everybody else." Burke, a 38-year-old mother of four, adds that she and Gosselin, 35, have bonded backstage. "She is nice and warm and so kind and approachable. I have this great relationship with her.""As soon as the cameras go on," Burke admits, "something happens."
Yet production sources report in the new issue of Us Weekly that Gosselin is so standoffish that she has show staffers contact her through her bodyguard. "She acts like a major celebrity," the source says. Adds another: ""Not only is Kate the worst dancer, but she's nasty. "I haven't seen that side of Kate," Burke claimed. "Not one ounce." She notes that the reality star -- whose new TLC show Twist of Kate has just been announced -- is faring well despite a new custody lawsuit from ex-husband Jon. "I don't know how she is managing it all, honestly," Burke says. "Aside from being scared to death, she's okay."
