Kate Gosselin filmed a pilot for a new talk show, but high-level executives reportedly shelved the project, deciding the TV mom is too controversial for their airwaves. A source told RadarOnline.com that the show, with co-hosts Paula Deen, Lee Woodruff and Rene Syler, is still being shopped around to other buyers but it doesn't stand much of a chance.The Momlogic pilot has been described as 'The View' for working moms, tackling issues like teen pregnancy along with lighter gabbing. Apparently, Gosselin was not only too edgy for the executives' taste, she was simply "not ready" for a full-time hosting job.
Food Network star Paula Deen was the intended star of the project, and exces were concerned that Gosselin's year in the tabloid's would upset the balance. "There was a lot of arguing," the source told RadarOnline.
Fear not - Gosselin will be back on your TV sets before long. Though TLC has yet to finalize the concept, the cable network has committed to a new show starring Gosselin in the spring.

Please do us all a favor and quit filming Kate, Jon or the kids!!! Can't stand any of them!!

Please get rid of her and her kids.She uses her kids for personal gain and the children are going to grow up being brats and not knowing what real live is.

The kids didn't ask to be exploited. They are innocent.

I cannot explain the american love affair with a lazy ,arrogant woman who had eight kids so the country could pay for their upkeep and education,would your average american Joe or Joannget these kind of breaks for their kids or their families?She lives in a huge house ,gets paid god knows how much and now they want to give here a talk show ?Cmon folks!Why should some one who is just like Octomom,irresponsible and just as arrogant profit from you reality show idiots!Get a real job Kate!Be a waitress or a single mom with no one else to rely on like so mant Moms in america.Its sickening !

Kate was the "role model" for Octomom and a number of other families who have spawned litters of ugly, screaming children.
Kate is a poor role model as a mother. She has clips on the internet showing her ANGRY and beating a tiny malnourished just turned 5 year old. Kids need more than potato chips, crackers and grapes to grow up strong and healthy.
Clips show K denying Mady a drink of water while asking for one for herself and drinking it in front of the child.
Why does a supposedly "good" mother keep a wooden spoon in the pocket of the passenger door of her van.
Kate should have all the children taken away from her. She is NASTY and EVIL.
Good deal we are rid of her and that little puke she is married to. Hopefully TLC will cancel them next. Let these low lifes be gone!!!!!!

Well said. You are correct these people are nothing but parasites not to mention the networks who enable them.

Chico, right on! With the world over populating, she should have more exposure? Kate, u appear to be a reasonably intelligent women - get a real job - get back to nursing - nurses are needed. Final thought - why are families with mucho kids given tax exemptions anymore? After 2 kids their children tax exemption should be stopped.
Bravo! You said it perfectly. TLC. greed and the disgusting Gosselins are never ending. Are we all really that low that we need to watch this travesty?
Kate too hot for TV? Uh, no, I don't think so. That headline actually made me puke in my mouth a little bit. She'd get laughed at unless she was the centerfold for Moo-Cow Monthly or Brood Mare Biannual.
She's a bad tempered, big mouthed, brood mare with a sh*tty haircut and everyone needs to ignore the cow, and she needs to stop having children.

maybe Gosselins can take lessons fron the Duggers. No whiney kids there

UGH!!!!!!! Her fifteen minutes of fame were up months ago!!!!!!

Is it necessary for everyone to be so negative? Whatever happened to IF YOU CAN'T SAY SOMETHING NICE, DON'T SAY ANYTHING!!!!!!?

Good question, Mee ... maybe someone should have asked that of Kate long ago.
To say Kate is "not ready" implies that one future day she will be ready. NO NO A THOUSAND TIMES NO. I have seen enough of her to know her only interest is herself.Definitely not interested. Someone mentioned earlier about the Duggars. Say what you will about their strange lifestyle, their kids are well behaved, are happy, and the parents actually like each other.
Reply
Not only are the Duggars well behaved but the Hayes children are as well. They managed to take ten kids out by themselves and at the end, they talk about how there weren't any meltdowns. Yes, they have twins 12 and twins 10 but they manage to get them all to the bathroom without dragging along a toilet seat as K did. K needed an adult for each pair of the eight. K is a useless, ignorant, lousy mother -- I got that wrong she's not a mother, she's just a womb.
seems to me if kate didn't want the media all about her business she would have the children play in their backyard, the vertual park that it is!!!!!! sure does seem funny that they are playing out front ALOT lately!! more so now then when jon was around!! i'm so glad the execs. decided not to have her as a talk show host, i wouldn't be watching it.. perosnally i am sick of their sad story AND tiger woods as well. you made your bed people now lay in it!!!!!!

The mere fact that a show like "Jon and Kate plus 8" ever garnered the attention of people in the first place is testimony itself to the depths that we have sunk to. I never watched one episode of the show that's for sure but admit to at least giving a passingglance to the eventual train wreck of the aftermath.

I may be in the minority, but I like Kate. To those of you that dislike her, turn the channel.
