PEOPLE.COM: She's used to chasing after her children (and at times being chased by paparazzi) but Kate Gosselin had a different reason to be running down the famous Las Vegas Strip on Sunday. The mother of eight, who bundled up on an unusually chilly night with a top that said "Finishing Is Winning," completed the Zappos.com Rock 'n' Roll Las Vegas Marathon – her first marathon – in 4 hours, 59 minutes and 21 seconds.
"I'm not one to do anything lightly," Gosselin, 36, told PEOPLE before running the Rock 'n' Roll Las Vegas Marathon. "I either do it or I kill it. I guess this is considered killing it." Gosselin, who's been a runner for three years, trained for the marathon on the roads near her Wernersville, Pa., home, often in below-freezing temperatures. And by finishing 26.2 miles, Gosselin hopes to set an example for her children.
"I'm running this because I want to show that with dedication and determination anything is possible," she said. "I want them to remember this moment when their mom completed a marathon, knowing that nothing in life should stop them from attaining their goals." The lesson does come at a cost, however: "This will probably be one of the most painful messages I will ever impart to them," she said.
According to Access Hollywood Live's Kit Hoover, the recently-single Tareq Salahi, formerly of Bravo's "Real Housewives of D.C.," has a crush on Kate Gosselin. "Tareq Salahi e-mailed me personally," Kit revealed on Thursday's show. "He wants to be set up with Kate Gosselin." Kit explained that Tareq is interested in the former TLC "Kate Plus 8" star, who appeared on Access Hollywood Live on Tuesday. "He said, 'Is she really single?'" Kit recounted. In his e-mail, Tareq wrote, "Set us up if she is." And Kit had a promise for Tareq, who is currently embroiled in a divorce with estranged wife Michaele, who left him in a very public way for Journey's Neal Schon. "Tareq, I'm totally on it," Kit said of trying to set him up with Kate. Do you think Tareq and Kate would make a good couple?
Kate Gosselin On Access Hollywood: Will Not Film With Jon, & No Face Lifts!
Good morning Gosselin fans! It's time to get the lawyers out, and sue the #@$& out of US Weekly. This week they pull a rabbit out of their behinds and print that Kate Gosselin had plastic surgery in 2009. SHE DID NOT AND THEY HAVE NO PROOF! and she also had botox. I'm pissed for her..
UsWeekly.com: Has KateGosselin gone under the knife -- again? When the former reality star recently reported for her first day as a CouponCabin.com blogger, she revealed a new face to go with her new gig. And it's not the first time the formerly full-figured brunette has freshened up. "She's consumed with her appearance," a source says of Gosselin, 36, whose TLC reality show Kate Plus 8 was canceled in August. (says who? the source is the person that wrote this stupid sham of an article. Anyone can make that crap up!)
To keep her youthful appearance, the single mom of eight -- who got a tummy tuck in 2007 and breast implants in 2009 -- relies on thrice-weekly tanning sessions. Last June, she even gave herself Botox injections! (The result: unnaturally arched eyebrows.) (It was a quick photo and even I can arch my eyebrows like that when I'm mad. Get real!)
New York City plastic surgeon Jon Turk tells the new issue of Us Weekly (on sale Wednesday) that based on recent photos, it looks like Gosselin's gone more extreme this time: A defined jawline and changed eye shape "suggest a facelift." It's not surprising, the source tells Us: "Kate wants to look 10 years younger." (Every mom wants to look younger dumba@@. It must be a slow news week for you!) XO BM
RumorFix.com: Kate Gosselin is blasting tabloids for reporting that Jon Gosselin was forced to take care of their eight children to save money so she could go on an Australian vacation with her bodyguard last week.
“To set the record straight, Jon did NOT keep the kids during my recent trip and especially not so I could save money,” she tweeted. “Sick of all the fables and fairy tales. Don’t believe what you read! Sick [of] how tabloids prey on people, especially moms trying to support their kids! Move on people.”
But then after saying Jon did not keep the kids during her trip, Kate makes this concession:
“My babysitter had the [kids] except for 24 hours, and we all wish he would take them more than his chosen custody! Would be great for all!”
RumorFix accurately reported last week that Kate was going down under for business, not vacation. We were also first to report Jon kept the kids during part of Kate’s trip.
