Kate Gosselin at Emmys: Lookin' for a Job (and a Man)

By Rob Shuter Posted Aug 30th 2010 08:33AM

Kate Gosselin was a woman on a mission last night at the Emmy Awards, telling friends it was the perfect venue to find a new acting job and, yep, a new man.

"Kate has made her mind up that she's going to be an actress and hopes her new profession will result in her finding a new man," a friend of the mom 'o eight tells me, explaining that she saw the Emmys as the "perfect place" to network with casting directors and producers.

I'm told Kate has really enjoyed being a reality (and 'DWTS') star, but now she's ditching reality to focus on scripted work in an effort to be the next Edie Falco or, if she's looking to get into comedy, Tina Fey. Wait, that IS funny!

"The show she would really like to be cast in is 'Mad Men,'" my source deadpanned.

You have to admire Kate's confidence. Anyone else might feel a little intimidated walking the same red carpet as some of television's best-loved actors, including the legendary Betty White, but not the star 'Kate Plus 8.' Sources tell me she felt at home on the red carpet, but was a tad disappointed she didn't get a chance to meet George Clooney.

"Kate looks at the happiness of couples who met on sets together -- Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer and Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks come to mind -- and believes that's how she is going to find love again," an insider tells me. "She has it all planned out and won't take no for an answer."

Lock up 'Glee's' Mr. Schuester -- Kate's on a mission!

There are a lot of people , now & in the past, who had a family of 8 children or more, their spouse was off to war, and they stayed home and raised great kids. The one thing is that these children were raised by a person who was always there for them. Maybe they didn't have everything but they had each other. These children were brought into this world to give the parents fame and the Mom leaves them in care of others while she is out there trying to live her life the way she wants. SHAME on Kate.

Obviously, the people that support her haven't seen her new show.
She is emotionally abusive to the oldest daughter. Where's CPS?

By Steve

Hey Kate, Hoolywood Blvd is pretty close to the Kodak Theatre. There is always a job there as a street walker. You aren't good enough for a whole lot more.

By Kat

Kate you give women a bad name! After the way you treated Jon on tv a man would have to be crazy to get with you! You deserve to be by yourself!

By MyBallsKatesChin

Just wait for a few years when the Kate 8 kids start smoking pot and doing drugs in Junior High- then see how she will age!

Any legal job is a legitimate job. I'm not saying all guys but many of you guys are so jealous of a woman who has learned how to make it in a man's world. You just can't stand the thought that she is strong and successful. Here's a news flash for those guys. Financial success and independence (sans man too!) is not just the domain of men. Bravo Kate. Shove it to those who can't stand your success. And success it is!

By Ron

She is trained as a nurse so that would be a legit job. She has no other talent except breeding and expoiting her children for financial gain. It may be legal but it is reprehensable.

By ram6968

it's a good thing she can make it on her own...she's gonna have to....hhhhmmm maybe freddy kruger....nah

By LOL

If she does get cast on Mad Men, at least she will get to smoke a lot on camera. I'm not surprised that show was her first choice.

PLEASE GO AWAY LADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why is she even at the awards? Yeah, Kate you are an actress...lol......

I think Hef is available for a few months and he could guarantee her the "exxxposure" she is seeking.
