Kate Gosselin Misses Terri Irwin More Than Palin

By Rob Shuter Posted Jun 27th 2011 04:29PM

EXCLUSIVE: Kate Gosselin, the star of TLC's hit 'Kate Plus 8,' has rubbed shoulders with everyone from the 'Dancing With the Stars' cast to likely presidential hopeful Sarah Palin, but the person that she misses the most might surprise you a bit.

"Without a doubt I miss Terri Irwin the most," Kate told me on Monday. "We email a lot. We were so busy those two days we had with them. They had a busy schedule we had a busy schedule. But we need to reconnect and we said it. We have a lot more to talk about."

Kate and the kids visited Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo during a visit in January, and got to see a show with Terri and her daughter, Bindi. Cameras were rolling when the two reality TV families collided (in a friendly way) and that episode of 'Kate Plus 8' aired in April.

Kate admits that with her busy schedule it's difficult to make time for anyone but her kids, but tells me she wouldn't mind bumping into Sarah Palin again.

"I haven't talked to her in a long time," Kate tells me of Sarah, who invited the Gosselins up to Alaska last year for some televised bonding. "Honestly it's not any other reason than the fact that, you know, you do this show, that show, you lose track of people."

She also tells me that she rarely talks to anyone from 'Dancing With the Stars,' including her dance partner Tony Dovolani.

"Yes, I talk to Evan and Erin," she says of Evan Lysacek and Erin Andrews. "Yes, I run into people from that, it's just you sort of met people and run back into them eventually. It's very few that you end up with."

She adds, "Everyone is really busy that's the bottom line."

Kate couldn't stop talking about the latest episode of 'Kate Plus Eight,' which aired Monday.

"It's a gross, horrifying, episode really. A lot of the episodes are my idea, but I came up with this ridiculous idea one day that I was going to let the kids chose what they wanted for dinner. And we turned it into a game and categories and went to the grocery store and they ended up picking like the grosses stuff ever. I actually ended up having a bad attitude cause I was like, okay, this is disgusting and they loved it."

Okay, hold up, hold up... two glaring mistakes were made in the very first sentence of this "article" - "star" and "TLC hit."

By Amy

Melody I like your style-you are right on-I did't even know she still had a show on. Can't she PLEEEZE quit pimping her kids out for a buck and just go the hell away?

By themeeker

I thought she had oinked her way into oblivion.

Maybe this is just a dead pig bounce.

I just wish that both women would disappear.

By Renee

Hmmm...I wonder why no one from DWTS talks to her. Pehaps because she was a fit-throwing bawl-bag every week? No one cares who she misses. I'm sick of even seeing the promos of her show with those brats who do nothing but go on vacations. When are they schooled?

Well a couple were expelled for behaving like Kate.

Otherwise, they aren't in school because the Judge overruled Jon's attorney and said the kids can go out of the country during school time because it's for "work".

It's to make Take money.......... If the Judge is gonna do it, he might as well say it as it is....... Judge is a sell out.

Not surprised she gets along better w/ Irwin. Kate is a grifter just like her. RIP Steve.......... too bad what Terri did to your Dad....... kinda like what Take is doing to Jon, the better parent.

Kate's still jealous of Jon.

Please Popeater, you've stayed away from Take, do not make her relevant again just because her show is sinking. There's a reason for that........ it's greatly effecting the kids!!!

By Tuesday

They're probably not schooled. They're each hoping to get a reality show like their mother and make a living off of that.

By Johanna

Wow...her kid's got to pick out their own dinner. Stop the presses. TLC needs to pull the plug on this has-been show. It was fun while it lasted, but give it up. For Kate to warn us she has a "bad attitude" she must really be a B!!!!

TLC and similar networks need to be fined or shut down for giving platforms for nitwits like these to operate from. It is exactly this kind of cotton candy mush that is turning TV viewers into lamebrains. Palin is an entertainer, not a politician. The two of them need to focus on the most important thing in their lives: their families. Get off the stage.

By er2blu

GEEEZ alright already!!!! haven't we had enough of this no talent publicity loving Gad Fly.

By bjv

Has Shuter EVER really left high school?!

Gosselin misses Irwin more than Palin ? How old are you?

I bet he was the "mean girl' back then. And I bet he's wetting his pants over who did'nt ask who to the sleepover-

TYPICAL AOL/Huff-HO crap.

By katrina

A self-absorbed bimbette recognizes another self-absorbed bimbette and that's what she found with sally. At least Terri has a real job.

By cathy

Kate has the most hateful expression on her face. She is volunteering to make goodies for the kidney patients and her kids are fearful of making a mess. They will all leave home when they turn 18. Do we ever get to see their family? No like John they all ran away!

By joan

And I to do not miss Kate. She is the biggest phony and pimps out her children to make a living on a tv show that I do not thinks anyone watches. TLC should be shot for helping Kate exploit those children and Kate should just disappear....please.

By abbybunky

God I hope her days are numbered. And, I'm from Berks County, PA, She is so fake, it makes me want to upjuck!

By jim

abby, from a fellow Berks Countian, I couldn't agree more, but remember, "I'm doing it all for the kids". Yeah. Sure.

By We

Abbybunky,
Maybe she should join a show that I would like to do for Bravo, 'The Real Hauswives of Berks Caunty'. My friends and I would like to take her camping all right. Take her out to the middle of nowhere, and leave her! But not in Berks, more like somewhere out west! LOL!

Kate + Terri. Now THAT would be a hot couple! :-p

By gatsby10021

Shouldn't it read (hopefully) "UNlikely presidential hopeful ..."

By SkyBlue

If Palin went away, I wouldn't miss her either.
