Kate Gosselin's Got a New Dating Show?

By Rob Shuter Posted Dec 31st 2009 08:02AM

Kate Gosselin's first stab at reality didn't end up smelling like roses (more like a bad scented candle that you can't re-gift), so I'm left scratching my head with word that the original TV octo-mom may be looking for love via reality television. That's right ... a Kate Gosselin reality dating show. Oh, 2010, we don't know whether to love or hate you! All that, plus how 'Nine' is the musical grim reaper and my New Year's resolutions after the jump!

Kate Gosselin's Octo-Dating Show

Oh no, say it ain't so. Sources tell me the newly-single Kate Gosselin is in discussions to star in a new reality show -- this time focusing on finding new (and hopefully snipped) love! "Love her or hate her, people are fascinated by Kate," a TV executive tells me. "she has a lot of mouths to feed and Kate looking for love will certainly put bread on the table."

But before you return your TV to Best Buy, take note that the idea hasn't been greenlighted yet. "It's still in the development stage," says one insider -- and let's hope it stays there. Kate, we all want you to find love, but this time around, maybe keep the cameras out of it.

Also, may we suggest some titles? 'Date Kate!' or perhaps 'Who Wants to Marry an Octo-Mom?' ... no, we've got it: 'Oh,Give Me a Break!' Yeah, that one sings!

'Nine' = the Demise of Movie Musicals?

Speaking of singing -- after the disastrous debut of the movie musical 'Nine,' studio execs tell me it could be the final nail in the coffin of the genre. "Hollywood is scared of musicals. Even Disney abandoned the singing formula for a long time before they made under-performing 'Princess and the Frog,'" a fancy producer tells me.

That's is just too bad. I love 'The Sound of Music,' 'Chicago' and 'Fiddler on the Roof.'

"Every producer is looking at 'Nine' and wondering why it bombed with that cast. The conclusion they have all come to is musical don't sell tickets," the producer says.

Silly fools. It's not musicals that we don't like -- it's bad films.

New Year's Resolutions

I promise to not mention Heidi or Spencer (who is apparently Twittering about me ... thanks, Spency!) in my column for an entire year. I promise to take Curry, my Glen of Imaal Terrier, to the doggie park three, OK, four times a week. I promise to bring you the best gossip on all the stars you and I adore. I promise to try and respond to all the emails you send me (NaughtyNiceRob@aol.com) -- even the nasty ones, you know who you are. And finally, I promise to keep being naughty but nice!

Oh no! Now, I have to get back to church and pray hard that Kate doesn't get any TV shows and just goes away for good. She is still trying to live off the notoriety and I am so sick of it. Please, Kate, think of the children and seek help. They need a normal life out of the limelight. Please, please, please.

By RR

Another Gosselin show? This must be an early April Fool's joke.

The Gosselin saga has palyed out long past their alotted 15 minutes of fame. I cringe everytime I hear the name Gosselin.

The fact that a so called entertainment network would even consider marketing the name Gosselin yet again shows just how empty and vapid programming executives think Americans are.

If there is another show featuring either of the Gosselin's then we have the reason why Americans are so hated around the world... we have nothing better to do than behave like lemmings, and follow low quality programming fostered by TV network executives that simply do not know how to develop quality programming.

I am so sick of the constant Gosselin barrage that I will boycott every product and service that advertises any future program with the name Gosselin in a role.

Kate needs to get a real life and not on television no more. Get a real JOB if you need money.
Another thing the kids are not crying for the cameras YOU ARE. Let those children have a life and be kids.
Kate get a life and GROW up.Hasn't your greetyness has cause you enough problems

By Sharon

Anyone who was paying attention early on to how Jon was being treated by Kate would think not only twice but four or five times before getting involved with her. She is a real shrew and very eager to cut off a man's balls. I saw it early on and hoped that Jon was getting her straight when they were not on the air, but he wasn't because the abuse got worse and worse. Any man who deludes himself into thinking this woman is attractive is just plain naive and deserves a woman like this.

By Rose

If the kids are not in the picture, who cares about what Mom and Dad do?

By Eddie

People really watch this crap?

By Catie

She is a greedy, money grubbing be-otch....what amuses me is that the media wants so much of her....does anyone care? she should be more concerned about raising those kids.

By zippo352

Kate can go away from tv and she would be the only one who would be the only one to miss her.She needs to raise those kids right.instead of rasing them on tv.

By DC

If they give this woman another show the producers need to be executed!! Nobody gives a damn what happens to here and that tribe of children she had to have. I'd love to be paid to do a realty show about being a "real" gay man in today society. Maybe I should pitch it to Bravo!

By chris

enough of kate and jon, they are nothing but trash, along with the octomom. loser jon and his loser girlfriends, kate and her stupid shows, octomom and her quest for money by having kids, don't get me started on that one. but it's a new year , let's leave kate, jon, octomom, and all the other losers in 2009. start fresh. 'nuff said.

By earlymusicus

Who cares what these baby factories do? I just wish they'd all stop adding to the overpopulation of the planet!

By Jeff

Kate is nothing but a nasty overbearing biotch!! She deserved John dumping her like the trash that she is!!

By burnbrae

Spare us more of Kate...we're sick to death of this drama queen and her brood. Just pay a nanny for her and spare us the misery.

By linn

Did I just not see her latest interview where she says she is too busy to date & is only concentrating on her kids???? Not to say she doesn't deserve to have a social life, but with 8 small kids running around, a reality dating show would take too much time away from them...

Hey Glen: Tiger Woods is into trashy looking girls....get ur eyes checked...

By Duke

Please!. NO MORE GOSSELIN tv shows. PLEASE.

By RAS

There must be alot of morons out there if Hollyweird thinks there are enough people who want to watch this nonsense.

By Marge

Have you heard the term "OVER- EXPOSED"????

By Carlos

ENOUGH NO MORE DISFUNCTIONAL PEOPLE

By alison

Can't somebody PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE make this woman just go away!!!
