Kate Gosselin is doing everything she can to maintain her extravagant lifestyle, following cancellation of her TLC reality show.
I will readily admit that there’s a part of me that relishes in the failure of reality TV “stars” failing at life once no one cares about them anymore. You tried to be famous and become a celebrity without any discernible talent whatsoever, nothing to offer the world on that level at all other than to act out various scenarios and predicaments concocted by a show’s producers, and I’m supposed to feel sorry for you when that gravy train dries up…? There’s nothing “real” about you, and you want my sympathy when your “reality” comes crashing down around you…? I don’t think so.
Therefore, you can imagine the smile on my face upon hearing of the struggles Kate Gosselin is enduring, now that her TLC show has been cancelled, and she’s been left as just another lady with a lot of kids who can’t get her former cable network to foot the bill anymore. Awww… poor Kate Gosselin, whose sole contribution to our society has been her ability to pop eight kids out of her vagina. Wow… true abilities like that are hard to find and even harder to harness… unless you’re a slut or a perpetual guest on MAURY.
In any event, Gosselin is crying about the changes in her lifestyle that are going to come now that KATE PLUS 8 is in the history books. God forbid one has to give up $2,000 Keratin hair treatments and budget-less shopping sprees. Oh, the horror. How can anyone be asked to sacrifice like that? What does she look like…? Middle class…?
In the new issue of People (via Hollybaby), Gosselin reveals that she wasn’t prepared for the cancellation, which everyone apparently knew was coming but her. “I’m freaking out. Big time. My kids weren’t ready. Nobody was. I’ve never quit a job in my life without having something else lined up. This has been ended for me on a moment’s notice. I don’t know what’s next.”
And while Gosselin has said she’d go back to being a labor and delivery nurse if the situation called for it, there’s no way that type of income is going to support the life she and her kids have gotten accustomed to, if she holds true to her stance that she doesn’t want to deprive them of anything they’ve gotten thus far. “I don’t want to take anything away that [the kids] have been given. [I've saved] for a little while. People think we made gazillions of dollars, and we didn’t. After the show was canceled, I said, ‘I’ll go back to my old nursing job.’ If nothing comes up, I’ll do it. But the scary reality is, 12-hour nursing shifts every day wouldn’t let me continue to provide well for my eight kids.”
Well, no one told you to go out and have eight kids that you couldn’t support if a reality show wasn’t in the cards, you idiot. Maybe you can get on EXTREME COUPONING to help you manage your money in order to make the most of what’s needed for all those children.
Or…
Maybe you can just cut back on some of the things that aren’t really necessary for you, but you insist on having just because… you know, things like:
Kate has a full staff which costs $500,000: “Kate employs two housekeepers, two nannies, an assistant, and bodyguard Steve Neild.”
The mom-of-eight’s $2,000 hair: “That’s what Kate paid last year for a cut, color and Brazilian keratin treatment at Ted Gibson’s NYC salon.”
Kate’s sprawling $1.3 million estate: “Kate’s 6,000 square foot five-bedroom mansion in Wernersville, Pa., sits on 24 secluded acres.”
Kate spends $500,000 on her children’s private school: “Her kids are in private school. At 5 grand a month for each child, that adds up.”
Kate’s shopping sprees that cost ???: “Kate’s fashion tab is hard to know. TLC picked up much of it — but she loves to shop!”
The ball is in your court.
