Kate Gosselin is definitely single, and one 'American Idol' told little old me that he'd love to wine and dine the mother of eight. The reason? He's always wanted a bunch of children ... and Kate's herd would certainly suffice. Find out who it is after the jump, plus 'DWTS' scoop and a Twitter call to arms!Which 'Idol' Winner Wants to Date Kate Gosselin?
... None other than the Soul Patrol himself, Mr. Taylor Hicks, would told me straight-up he'd love to get his chance to woo the original octomom.
Taylor and I were having drinks the other night in New York City (you've got to love a dude who still drinks Bud in a champagne-sipping crowd) when the topic of Kate Gosselin came up.
"I would totally date her," Taylor told me. "I have always said I wanted nine kids, so it would be perfect!"
Taylor is currently breaking theater box office records around the country starring in 'Grease' and doing the one thing that all the other Idols seem to have forgotten about -- performing live.
"People see Kelly Clarkson on the covers of magazines talking about her weight and Carrie Underwood always making headlines about who she's dating and wonder where has Taylor been," a friend of Hicks tells me. "Yet he's happy to be under the radar doing what he always dreamed of doing -- performing live eight times a week to sold out crowds."
Donny and Marie to Return to 'Dancing'!
Expect two of America's favorites to return to 'Dancing With the Stars,' as Donny and Marie Osmond will take center stage once again -- but this time not as dancers, but as musical guests.
"The producers would love to have Donny and Marie back on to sing at the results show," an inside source tells me.
"Not only are they loved by the entire country, they are both part of the 'DWTS' family. Like the Osmonds, this family looks after its own."
Now, all that remains is to work out scheduling before the ballroom goes a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll. Sorry, Kate Gosselin -- your thunder might get stolen for one night.
Spencer Pratt, I'm Coming For You
I have finally caught up with all the cool kids and started tweeting ... I think that's what it's called. You can follow me @naughtynicerob
Be kind, as I'm driving this car without having any instructions. Yesterday, I felt like the King Of The World when I saw I had 71 followers. That was until my 'friend' Charlie pointed out that reality-star-turned-defense-agent Spencer Pratt has 821,642. I'm not kidding! Sure, I'm late to the game, but now I'm just embarrassed. PLEASE HELP!

So how many beers did it take for him to say he'd date Kate Gosselin? Oh Taylor, you're better than that! LOL!

Kate's won't be interested in his love for children. She iwll be interested if he can support her self-love and how much he can provide her with Narcissistic Supply.
Well, she has nice legs, even if her personality needs a major lift.
Kate is not that desperate. Where is Taylor these days? Singing in lounges much like Simon predicted? Maybe on a cruise ship somewhere singing for the little old ladies? Or karaoke in the local bar?
@ckandrus2001 - did you happen to read the article wiseass? He's performing in 'Grease'.
I'd go out with Taylor Hicks in a nanosecond - that sexy hunk!

I'll bet you're a guy, too!
Yes, he should try for a date with Kate. He is awesome. I am 70 and I have his CD's and would love to see him in person. What a nice guy!
So what's holding you back Taylor - give her a call!

Who ever wants to go out with THE FEMALE PIMP KATE must be mindless and desperate. Where ever she came from send her back. It goes on and on and on. Put the lid back on the garbage can

I love Taylor as a singer and performer, but the poor boy's taste in women leaves alot to be desired if, in fact, Kate Gosselin is his cup of tea.

Hicks is reallly that desperate? Or maybe he's just blind and stupid. Who would want to date this haggy brood mare? She's got a bad temper and another in a long series of horrible hair-don'ts.
I guess he can date her and they can both fade into obscurity as quickly as possible.

HAGGY BROOD MARE?? REALLY? ARE YOU REALLY THIS STUPID AND BLIND. SHE IS CUTE... NASTY FAT JEALOUS IDIOT!!
You got that right. He must be blind and stupid to want to date that piece of trash! I totally disliked him on Idol. Creepy and swarmy! Ugh!
LORI, YOU'RE BUGGIN. SHE'S NASTY. PERIOD.
You(themeeker)must be her ex-husband.
I would like to know who the heck is paying for all of this publicity for this publicity "HO"?......me thinks she has someone at Discovery by the gonads.......
