Kate Gosselin's New TV Show, 'Twist of Kate' Airs Soon

By PopEater Staff Posted Apr 8th 2010 11:15AM

If dancing doesn't work out for Kate Gosselin, she has another reality TV show to fall back on. TLC has announced plans to move forward with her new reality show, 'Twist of Kate,' in which Gosselin will profile women inspired by her story who are facing their own challenges, a rep for TLC tells to PEOPLE. The 12-episode series will air this summer in tandem with 'Kate Plus 8' specials.

"I want to be out there learning from others, helping to provide insight whenever I can, though, I don't consider myself an expert on anything," Gosselin told USA Today. "I look at it as a loose concept."

Sound off about Kate's new show on PopEater's Facebook.

'Kate Plus 8' specials will also air this summer and focus on Gosselin's life as a single mother and feature her eight children -- without her ex-husband Jon Gosselin. No word if the show will focus on the growing tension between the divorced couple.

Jon has officially filed legal paperwork in Pennsylvania that alleges Kate abuses the custody scheduling and seeks primary custody of their eight children, TMZ is reporting. Jon claims Kate has become an "absentee mom" since she started filming 'Dancing With The Stars.'

Kate shot back upon hearing of the planned legal move. "I am not willing to comment in public on the custody discussions regarding my children. What I will say is this: I am and always will be a mother first, but as a single working mom, I will do everything necessary to provide for my kids despite the opinions of others," she told PEOPLE in a new statement.

uhhh, I could do without KATE!! She creates too much DRAMA!

By michelleb051066

Kate and Jon both need to go away and concentrate on their kids! I used to feel bad for Jon, now I think they are both idiot that thrive on attention and drama. I used to enjoy their show when the kid were little and the show was about the kids. Now it is just all about them. GO AWAY PLEASE AND THANK YOU!

Kate's new TV show might that be the reason poor Jon is sueing for the kids? Twenty grand plus a month to support his "nanny" habit? How could a court/Judge ever give the kids to someone who admitted that he had sex with the kids nanny while the kids were in the house? Such a looser Jon -- get a job, support your kids so Kate can stay home and cook for her kids!

Do you have access to court records that the rest of the world does not? You might want to look up the definition of libel and slander? You state as a fact that Jon admitted to having sex with the nanny while the kids were in the house. How do you know this? Are you married? If so, did you watch the show with your husband? If you have a husband or boyfriend, go back and watch the show with him. Ask him his opinion on how Kate treated Jon. The are innocent people in this mess, there are 8 of them. Kate is not a victim.

If you hate her so much why do waste your time reading and writing about her. I think it is sad how you haters must get some sick sort of pleasure bashing a woman you don't even know. Do you nothing to do but write trash. Where are your kids and what kind of lesson are you teaching them. GO KATE GO!

By Dee

This is what she waiting for. She had this all in her mind when
she was married. She had said once,Jon's goals and mine are different.

She got the taste of the good life and now she wants it all.
This has nothing to do with the kids, it has all do with her.

Maybe she should watch The Duggars, she may learn something from
them. Nineteen kids and Counting. Now thats a feat in itself.
God Bless the Duggars

By areanna26

Learn something from the Duggars? You're joking, right? Good grief, those two are disgusting examples of human beings. And Michelle is definitely brain dead. She acts and talks like a Stepford wife.

John is the lowest of low wanting all the publicity for himself. Kate is and has been a good Mom and I hope the children can be back on TV without Jon.

By Loran

all i want to know is, Why?

By steve

THIS IS SO WRONG, SHE CONTINUES TO USE HER CHILDREN, THIS ISN'T NORMAL FOR ANY CHILD TO BE USED SO A PERSON CAN MAKE MONEY OFF THERE BACKS, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE COURT SYSTEM, CHILD RIGHT TO PROTECT THEM CHILDREN FROM A NUT CASE LIKE KATE, SHE HAS SHOWN THAT SHE'S BEEN A LOOSE CANNON.

By lin

She is a piece of work or something else. Heres the point to all the Kate supporters: No one is faulting the working mother. For some moms, its a necessity to do so. The problem with Kate is that she has no business on TV because she is desperately trying to be a star and doing something she is not good at. She truly is out for herself. She continues to work, so she doesn't lose the million dollar home and material things. This has nothing to do with the kids! Good mom? Did you ever watch her wonderful show? Anyone who believes that Kate would rather be home everyday doting on her 8 little angels is sadly mistaken. She lacks empathy and patience..2 key ingredients in being a good mother

By fanofjoy

Somebody in that family has to work. Jon obviously is having more fun with Michael Lohan, another deadbeat Dad. Now Jon wants full custody of the kids and money too. What a joke

TLC HAS LOWERED THEMSELFS, KATE WILL SHOW VIEWERS HOW TO BE DIVORCED WITH CHILDREN, THIS IS A SHAME, TLC USE TO BE A FAMILY CHANNEL FOR VIEWERS, NOW IT SHOWING AMERICAN WOMEN THAT ARE BIMBOS HOW TO USE TLC AND HER CHILDREN TO MAKE MONEY OFF THE CHILDRENS BACKS............SHAME ON BOTH PARTIES, I HOPE THE COURTS ARE GOING TO PROTECT THE CHILDREN, WORKING A MINOR/ UNDER AGE , THERE ARE LAWS IN AMERICA, I AS MILLIONS ARE SHOCKED THAT TLC WILL AIR THIS....

By Kitty

How can people not see that this woman just wants to be in the limelight.. And it has nothing to do with supporting her children .She will do anything to remain on television .It is so obvious.

By anon

Jon should get custody as he was always home with the children when he was with Kate.
The children appear happier when with their dad, at least they smile when they are with him. I never see a smile on their little faces when they are with Kate. All she does is stand in the drive way with them.
Is Steve(body guards) wife a nanny for the children while her husband is traveling with Kate? It appears that way.
Good Luck Jon.

By Mahjhhang

"God bless the Duggars"?????? Oh puhleeze. Those breeders should have stopped 18 babies ago. This breed cow has had 20 babies, in about 25 years. They're both obscene.

By Lucy London

The Duggers show how a family is supposed to function. If you are involved with the Hollyweirdo idea version of family, then you are the one that is dysfunctional. They are devoted to their children and their welfare. Not so with the Kate and Jon sideshow.

I would rather see the Duggers and the family of the small people than the narcissistic sideshow of Kate and Jon.

this was one of the best responses ever! (DAN) I agree 100%!

By natasha

GO AWAY KATE, NO ONE I KNOW IN OUR CORNER OF PA WANTS TO SEE YOU AND IT SEEMS THERES A LOT OF OTHERS THAT FEEL THE SAME ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
