Kate Gosselin is going to have to work a little bit harder to fight off those pesky diva rumors that continue to plague her.
Insiders from Dancing With The Stars had accused Kate of acting like a diva by refusing to interact with the other dancers and stars on the show. The Jon & Kate Plus 8 mom appeared on The View this week and denied that claim.
Dancer Mark Ballas, who is the partner of Shannen Doherty, is however singing a different tune. “I’m not the type of person to judge…” said Mark to UsWeekly “And I’m not going to be like ‘I don’t like [Kate]…”
“But, I mean, she’s pretty, you know, standoffish, which is kind of weird.” Mark continued, “I don’t really know her, but when I met her she wasn’t kind of like, ‘hello’ or anything. I say ‘hey,’ and she was like ‘oh hey.’ I was like, ‘Okay!’”
Mark added, “She has a great partner, Tony [Dovolani] who is a dear friend of mine, so I’m sure he will whip her into shape. Whatever you can get out of that!”









She has never appeared to be the warm and fuzzy type.
So Mark…do you really, really, really want to close to Kate??
She seems like she has the personality of a wet sponge and I really just don’t get what all of the fuss is over her. I wish her 15 minutes of fame were up soon so I wouldn’t have to read about her any longer.
Maybe she thinks she is a “better” celebrity than the others?
Maybe she doesn’t have any social skills when it comes to interacting with celebrities? and they are probably scared of her anyways
Maybe she thinks that this is how celebrities act?
Maybe she will be the first “celebrity” to leave the show?
Kate has never just seemed incredibly pleasant, truth be told!
Kate probably treats the rest of the world the way she treated her husband. And I bet she treats her kids with the same scorn and disdain.
She’s not a celebrity, she’s a bitch. She’s not a star, she’s a poser. She’s got no right acting like a snob — Medicaid paid for her effing kids to be born and cared for. She was on welfare and food stamps until her reality show idea came to fruition.
The State of Pennsylvania should go after Kate for reimbursement of all the government money that was paid out for the birth and care of her litter.
Lizzie really?
she was on the public dole? I thought she was a nurse. I think she is as warm and fuzzy as a bed of nails. I did not know that if true. She should pay it back. Then there is a double standard with the uterus reality show hunters.lol. Octo mom. I think she is as gone as any person can be, but, if Kate can get it in. Octo nut should too. I say neither. I am not shocked by these allegations.
Kate was ordered to bedrest at 7 weeks into her pregnancy and was hospitalized at 20 weeks until the babies were born. She wasn’t working and Kate’s brother is the one who first mentioned that they were on welfare/foodstamps/medicaid when the babies came.
Did you know that Kate was hospitalized for hyper-ovulation before she became pregnant and was strongly advised to skip a cycle and attempt insemination the following month. She was told long before she got pregnant with her litter that there was a strong, strong possibility that she would have “many” fertilized eggs if she insisted on proceeding that month. She insisted. She got pregnant with 7 babies and of those, 6 fully developed. The babies were all critically ill, on ventilators and in neonatal intensive care after their birth — which took a team of more than 50 doctors and nurses to staff. The medical bills had to be in the millions.
She knew what she was doing. It was a calculated move on her part. She wanted to have so many kids all at once because she thought she could sell it on TV. Her own mother said Kate knew she was risking a large multiple birth and that she hawked the idea of reality TV show from her bed when she was still pregnant. Kate should be raising the herd — they were her idea! And the proceeds from her stupid book and asinine public appearances should go to the State of PA until the bills are paid.
Wow. Thanks Lizzie. I know where I stand with what I have heard about this woman. WOW.
That’s a wig Kate is wearing. Look at the hairline and where her bangs start.
@Reality Bites – yeah! $7K for that piece of garbage??
HaHa, I bet it’s one of Kim Z’s wigs
Oh, I see it’s in vogue once again to place all the blame on Kate and pretend Jon was too much of an innocent weakling to have anything to say or do with having 8 children.
Why all the rabidly wicked hatred for this one woman? What in the hell has she done to deserve so much bile and vileness directed at her?
A tiny bit of this hatred pointed at this woman might do some REAL good if directed instead at people who truly deserve it… like the politicians and Wall Streeters who have turned our country into an amazing mess and whose actions and decisions have hurt us all DIRECTLY.
Take that hatred and use it for good. It’s being wasted in this case.
I don’t “hate” Kate, she wants to be in the public “lime light” then she like any other celebrity must endure criticisms.
If she can’t take the heat, then get the heck outta the kitchen!
Fauleigh, I don’t understand why you’re trying to turn this blog about Kate into a soapbox speech for social reform?
Tootsie….Kim Z’s wig!?!! Bahahahahaha!!! LMAO!!!
I had a client who insisted on going through w/ a quintuplet pregnancy after fertility treatments, even though she was in poor health and overweight. She ended up w/ all of them being stillborn. There’s no way a mother can give each baby the attention they need when there are more a few. It’s obvious that Kate’s kids are developmentally delayed and have emotional issues. They will now become a burden on the school system for years to come. She doesn’t deserve any credit for being a responsible parent IMO. She cares more about being a celebrity. She will never be accepted I Hollywood b/c alot of people are disgusted w/ how she went about it. She has no talent, poise or presence to be anything more than a nasty house frau.
Wow, all you haters are really amazing. You have first hand knowledge of her finances, her medical history, her thoughts, the thoughts of her family members, and what I find most amazing is that you even have information as to what her doctors told her!. You should use that vast knowledege for something usefull instead of bashing a woman who really has no affect on your life at all. The real beauty of not liking someone is to change the channel or not read the magazine that she is in. Simple.
Yikes. It’s reading comments like some of these that make me wonder why anyone would ever want to be famous or have a reality TV show.
Lizzie-are you a personal friend of theirs? Did Kate and/or Jon tell you that information first hand? I wish you’d be more careful with the information you share about someone’s life, truth or rumor. Some of the things you said were really unfair and just plain mean. “effing kids” for starters. Those kids didn’t choose any of this, let them be.
why is even on the show if she doesn’t want to be. she doesn’t look happy.
TA, are you serious? Do a google search of the Gosselins and you’ll find out everything I did and more.
Kate’s own family members revealed a lot of that information, and they were there when all of the events were taking place.
Did you know that after the twins were born, Kate & Jon were all set to adopt a biracial child from a teenaged mother? Kate backed out because she wanted to have more kids of her own — hence the fertility treatments, subsequent hyper-ovulation, and sextuplets.
Like I’ve said before, Kate’s family members weren’t afraid to speak out once her head got big and she became a diva. If you don’t like what I say, I’m sorry. But her history is all out there and a lot of it came directly from her as she was trying to sell her show. She put herself in the spotlight …
Her family members were paid for those interviews. Google that.
I would be suspicious of anything said by family that was backed by $.
Sorry Kate, stay off the dance floor and push a shopping cart in the grocery store. Only votes you will get are from moms that feel sorry for you, but not this mom. As for your $7000 extensions, well you should have spent that on the kids because you look fake along with that smile of yours. Carrie Ann hit the nail on the head when she said you were a nobody, even though you think you are a star. Do us all a favour and stay home with your kids and stay off tv, quit embarrassing yourself.
WOW! This bitch is the queen of shrews. She’s such a pissy bitch that she almost caused her partner to quit during rehearsal. Of course, Kate knows how to dance and shouldn’t have to take direction from a professional. Of course, Kate should be telling Mark how to teach.
Of course, Kate’s dance sucked and she dances like a clumsy farmer. Kate should go home to her kids where she belongs. God, I hate this fucking shrew.
She;s from Western PA and does not have a certain level of sophistication enjoyed by the other celebritites and dancers
Redfox, you’re kidding right? “She doesn’t have a certain level of sophistication”???
She’s a shrew. She’s a demanding, snarky diva. That has nothing to do with being from Western PA. It has to do with being a bitch, which Kate has mastered to a tee.
The skank needs to go back to her kids and get a real job. She’s not a star, she’s never been a star and she’ll never be a star. She’s just an annoying baby factory.
