Fantastic Four Friday - Four Reasons I Love Kate Gosselin's Makeover 

This week, it's been widely reported that Kate Gosselin (formerly of Jon and Kate plus eight) spent $35,000 on a makeover to prepare for Dancing with the Stars. The $35,000 was allegedly spent on restylane fillers, veneers, tanning, botox, more hair extensions, highlights and eyebrow shaping. Well, I am okay with this turn of events and for the following reasons.

1. Competition is Fierce in Hollywood- Let's face it, if you were going on Dancing with Stars and going up against Pam Anderson (enuf said), Shannen Doherty, Nicole Schererzinger (the Pussycat Dolls, people)  wouldn't you want to look your best. Those women know what is needed to be camera ready and in HD no less. I know if I was going to make a fool of myself on national television, I would at least want to look good.

2. She looks a gazillion times better - For original viewers like me, who doesn't remember what she looked like four years ago with her mom sweatpants and brown hair. She looked pretty bad but who wouldn't having to stay home with 6 babies.

3. Breadwinner Status - So you hate Kate and wished she'd go away (me too) but she isn't going away. I think she is going to be the next Omarosa. You may hate them but you watch them. Supposedly, there are those at ABC who are attributing the ratings bump on Dancing with the Stars to her (scary.) How is Kate  going to provide for her 8 kids since her ex-husband is a douche and I am sure one step away from a bad reality show or getting some twenty something pregnant.

4. Something to talk about - No more needs to be said. 

Kate Gosselin is shooting a pilot for a Talk Show

It's been awhile since I have commented on Jon or Kate but I just had to comment when I heard Kate will be getting at talk show, mind you, she will be one of four co-hosts with Paula Deen, Rene Syler and Lee Woodruff. The show is being described as "The View for working moms." Kate, is not a working mom. Being a reality mom is not working, having people write your books for you is not working. Help me god, this news just bugs me no end.

Just when I got over that bit of news, I read this quote. "I've been the gift of gab, who why not use it?" She told an audience at the Southern Women's Show in Charlotte North Carolina.

She is kidding, right? On every show since the "break-up" in which she has been coached with an inch of her life and she shows no empathy, sense of humour or personality. It's canned responses. It's all about telling her story (which I am right with her on this one.) But a talk show where she gets to ask the question. Did these people not see her on the View???? Or see Jon and Kate plus 8, we watched because of the kids.

This is my prediction, great ratings in the first couple of weeks, we all like to watch a car wreck, right. I know I will tune in at first but I just can't see that it has the staying power. I love Paula Deen, but do you see Kate and Paula Deen together on a stage? I can not believe she let her management team talk her into this.

Would love your opinion. Would you watch the show after the first few days after your curiosity is fulfilled?
