KATE PLUS 8: Cancelled!

It’s official…TLC has decided not to renew Kate Plus 8 for another season.

Once the news broke, Kate took to Twitter and released this statement:

@Kateplusmy8 “We’ve had a great run! Six years of whirlwind funfilled adventures thanks to TLC and our many many supportive &diehard fans!  While it is very sad for me and the kids (there were many tears at the breakfast table this morning!), we are looking forward with great anticipation to our bright future! As is very typical for me, I am choosing to see the positive in this situation and  I am excited2consider many more invigorating opportunities that may come my way!I poured my entire self in2 last 6 yrs of ‘Kate+8′ & I can’t wait2have the chance2challenge myself again w future endeavors!  In the meanX,I hope 2have more time4motivational speaking,book writing &other fun work opportunities that come my way……And maybe even some dating??!!  We wish our fans well. And remember, this is not ‘goodbye’.I prefer to say  ‘See you around!’ Xoxo”  “Shows will air thru sept 12… Stay tuned and we can enjoy the last eps together..”

It’s actually kind of funny how this announcement came out today.  I spent a good portion of the weekend catching up on a BUNCH of episodes of Kate Plus 8 that I had missed!

Altho the show isn’t quite the same anymore, I know I will still miss it.  I’m really going to miss seeing those 8 kids on a regular basis.  I really did fall in love with them!

COVER GIRL: Kate Gosselin on People

People magazine must have some kind of agreement with Kate or something…they are her “exclusive” magazine for stories and interviews.

Kate will be the cover girl for the upcoming issue, which hits stands this Friday:

Kate’s showing off her toned body and revealing what she did to get it.  I do have to say she looks really good.  YES, her belly button is still WAY TOO HIGH…but we’ll blame that on the plastic surgery for her tummy tuck.  Other than that, her arms look really toned.  She must really be working hard for it.

“This is the most fit I’ve ever been”—mostly due to running (not plastic surgery) and without the help of a personal trainer.

Kate also spills diet secrets, like she’s “majorly addicted to almonds” and snacks on “whole-grain kamut cakes…smeared with a little peanut butter.

EMMY AWARDS: Jimmy Fallon and…Kate Gosselin?

Jimmy Fallon is going to be the host of the year’s Emmy Awards, to be held later this month.

The rumor right now is that Kate Gosselin…yes, you read right…Kate Gosselin is being tapped to open the awards show with Jimmy.

Supposedly, Kate will partake in a humorous sketch where she interacts with some of TV’s biggest stars.

That should be QUITE interesting.  If it actually happens.  Guess we’ll have to wait until August 29 to find out…

TV NEWS: Kate Gosselin and…Sarah Palin?!

Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Kate (plus her eight) will make an appearance on Sarah Palin’s upcoming talk show, Sarah Palin’s Alaska, which is set to debut November 14th (I believe it will be on Oprah’s new OWN station).

According to the article, The Gosselins will visit the Palins in Alaska, and, apparently, camping will be involved.

Kate & Sarah.  Wow.  That should be QUITE an interesting show.  Wonder how that even CAME ABOUT?!  If anything, I’m sure Kate is doing it to give her kids the opportunity to visit Alaska…I mean, how many people actually GO to Alaska JUST TO GO?

As usual, I will DEFINITELY be tuning in to that one when it comes on…   I know, I’m such a sucker for “good TV.”
