Dancing with the Stars contestant Kate Gosselin has gone Hollywood -- and her eight kids back home in Wernersville, Penn. don't like it one bit.
Less than three months after Kate and Jon Gosselin's divorce was finalized, their 9-year-old twins and 5-year-old sextuplets are struggling with even more upheaval: DWTS has their mom 2400 miles away for at least three days a week.

In fact, as she trained and promoted her DWTS stint (the show debuts March 22), Kate, 34, spent Feb. 21 to March 5 away from the kids, a source confirms in the new issue of Us Weekly.
Minded by five nannies in her absence, the kids "were asking, 'When is Mommy coming home?'" an insider tells Us.

Twins Cara and Maddy "seem depressed when Kate isn't around," another source says. Five-year old sons Aaden, Collin and Joel, meanwhile, "got into trouble at school for talking back to teachers," adds the source.

But their mom, who "wants to be a huge star," justifies her work with a surprising comparison -- to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie!
"She says Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have lots of kids and their parents are away for long periods, working to support them," a family insider tells Us.

Just someone tell the kids that mommy is busy at the hairdressers for 21 hours, getting fake nails and eyelashes and dancing if you can call it that. I am sure the kids will understand. LOL
i think it is funny how people are constantly bashing kate. maybe her parenting skills are not the best but how can you say she is away from her kids too much when that is what everyone in hollywood does if u bash her then everyone else needs it to.
She has a man body and those legs just plain big and not woman like!
Ha hahaha, per Kate Isamilf, Kate is getting the attention she wants and dresses to fit the part-S L U T-Bad mama, DWTS has a S L U T on the show now with Tony living in her garage apartment? WOW-Kate really is disgusting! Wonder if she will ever be a real parent or just a dead beat mom? DWTS really screwed up this time!
So Tony is now living in the apartment over the garage? I can just see why Kate is always there now. Dancing in the bed. Tony's wife is not there for sure! Or his children. Wonder what Steve thinks-oh, maybe it is a 3some! Gosselin kids must be so depressed for real! AIMOO
Kate Gosselin - FAME OVER FAMILY -SORRY EXCUSE FOR A MOM. YOU DISGUST ME AND I HOPE YOU GET A REAL MOM FOR YOUR CHILDREN. Oh, you already did, Nannies-what a selfish no good liar you are. JON, SAVE THE CHILDREN THEY NEED YOU!
I actually never liked Jon; He was the conniving one of the two and the big hypocrite and circumstances totally reveal his true nature, which is a liar, lazy pig, womanizer, user, stupid etc. His first love is himself and he has shown that how he can easily move far away from his children instead of buying a home nearby to see and take care of them, which is his duty, but NO he moves 3000. Miles away! And he does NOT EVEN PAY CHILD SUPPORT OR ALIMONY! SO GUESS WHAT KATE IS LEFT WITH THE WHOLE RESPONSABILITY OF ALL, EVERYTHING!!! TO PROVIDE FOR THE CHILDREN AND PAY ALL THE BILLS!!! KATE I TRULY ADMIRE YOU, YOUR STRENGHT AND STAMINA, KEEP ON! ON KEEPING ON! AND YOU WIL WIN ALL THE BATTLES AND COME ON TOP! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YA ON DANCING WITH THE STARS AND I KNOW U WILL WIN! STAY STRONG, AND REMEMBER U 'R STILL YOUNG! YOUR FANS THAT SUPPORT U AND LOVE YA!

From the talk of it, Kate failed again as a co host on the view. Looked like a loser again. She left on Monday to be on the view on Wednesday? She must have spent 10 minutes with the children and could not handle it. Kate Gosselins brain must be the size of a chicken's brain. They will eat her alive on DWTS. When they do, the 5 fans she has will look for the nearest bottle of drugs to take so they can fade away and forget all their sorrows! LMAO What idiots they are just like Kate :-)

So you do not like the woman'''-- You are entitled to like who you want. But to the extent you haters do NOT like her and hate her or cant stand her is NOT OK. - You talk horribly about everything regarding Kate, from her hair to her toes and you know that is TRUE. - You haters BASH Kate your every waking moment, and you think that is OK?? - You haters do Not just state your opinions about her.- You are out to DESTROY Kate!!- She has a right to live her life without you haters trying to knock her down. - Why don't you just state your opinion and then let her be??- But you Haters DO NOT leave it at that. -- You do EVERYTHING possible to Ruin anything she does. That to me is NOT OK !!!!!!!
March 15, 2010 - 2:12am YOU HATERS----?? Says: YOU HATERS ARE DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!! ---AND YOU WRITE THE MOST SICK ATROCIOUS VILE THINGS.######## Don't give me that crap. Kate posts hateful comments on message boards too.
No matter if the dolt who wrote the comment below posted it 1 time or 3, it is still nonsense. If we have female doctors, lawyers, etc., then we do not have a double standard. March 15, 2010 - 12:54am PERFECTLY SAID It seems we have a double standard when it comes to women who want more than just being a mother. What about the single mothers who are actresses, CEOs, lawyers, doctors?
How is she trying to be nude? She is FAR from being nude! She dresses better than most other celeb mothers!
This is Kate's LIFE now....She is one SMART Cookie!! 'Kate will Never be out of the MEDIA spotlight. 'It is her Reality now. 'She has accepted this,and is using it to her Family's Advantage!!!!!:
