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!

The show could not afford the cost to pay the men to date her. Who would want to carry her baggage.

title for kate's new show. " PETIFILE PALACE"

By JollyRogers

Why?

By glen

hey seeing tiger woods is into nice looking white girls she should hook up with tiger...

By Todd

Whoever would watch this stuff after all the over-exposure of her boring life is a real, pure bred FOOL. Some people have no life. I have not watched 1 minute of any show she is on, and I never will.

By Bill

Reallly? Sounds like someone is desperate for a failure. TLC might have her as a guest, but she isn't getting her own show. You need talent for that!! She got famous for being a baby factory, why do people think that takes talent. Why did John step out on her? She needs to worry about home much more, and less about herself.

By SANDY

I am not facinated with Kate if I see her on another show I will throw up. She is leech a prostitue a taker a fake. Please don't buy into her poor poor Kate ways.

By C.T.

Why would anyone tune in to see a show starring Kate Gosselin? The series she ruined was popular becaue people loved the CHILDREN, not her! As soon as people see the kids aren't in the show, they'll turn it off!

By Dave

I hope to never see this person on TV ever again.

By M.Vaughn

I am so sick of her and her ridiculous husband I won't watch anything about either of them - not even a news cast

By cindy

who cares who life she screws up. If it didn't work the first time it's not going to the second time. I don't understand why TLC thinks she's all of that. I wonder why TLC doesn't follow the life of a regular family showing everyday life how they are trying to make it in today's world. I'm sure they would love to get paid to keep their home. Enough with kate and Jon move on TLC to the real world to someone that needs help

"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."
.......this is the kind of TV executive who neither deals or lives in "reality."
I remember when TLC had cred, but now it's a joke.

As I make mayonaise samwiches for my 6 kids I look out of my mobile home window and wonder what their 5 dads are doing and how they done me wrong like John did Kate. She's my role model, my crutch, my wart.

No wonder all their dads left you.

Exactly, Jim. I can't believe they even got close enough to get her pregnant. Nasty.
