Kate Gosselin insists she really "can't dance" -- but she is optimistic for her upcoming Dancing With the Stars debut.
"I am gonna win," she said Monday on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
So you're a competitive person, he asked.
"Have you watched my show?" replied the 34-year-old star of TLC's Jon and Kate Plus 8.

Gosselin said her biggest competitors will be Pamela Anderson and Pussycat Dolls' Nicole Scherzinger.
Her advantage? She said she plans on having her eight children vote for her.

"[Daughter] Mady asked if she can vote for me? I said, 'Yes, pls do,'" Gosselin told Kimmmel, adding that she told "the little kids" to vote too.
So far, Gosselin said she's done three days of practicing.
She said her partner Tony Dovolani will travel back with her to her Wernersville, Pa., hometown, where she will practice on a makeshift floor in her basement while her kids are home or sleeping.

When they're at school, 'I'll go to a local studio," Gosselin told Kimmel. "The whole goal is obviously to be at home as much as I can and I'll come home back-and-forth each week. If I can cook dinner and dance, I'll be doing really well."
As for her partner, she said she didn't get to pick him.
"I did suggest one person, and they said he was too quiet for me," she said. "I don't know what they were trying to say!"

But she said she is glad to be working with Dovolani because he is "a very positive person. Even when I mess up really, really bad - which is a lot - he still has something positive to say."
Even though she said she's never played any sports as a kid -- "I was never coordinated enough, which is a problem with dancing, but I can run," she said -- Gosselin is staying strong.
"I am going to give it my all!" she told Kimmel.

379# March 14, 2010 - 1:32am Kate is one SMART Cookie Says: A Nurses Salary..is $45,000 to $60,000 per year divided by 9 people is almost at poverty level. 'If you make $60,000 per year. You’d bring home $42,000 per year. (after taxes). $42,000 / 12mos = $3500 per month! With at least $1,800 rent or mortgage (for a modest home that would fit 8 kids), that would leave $1,700 to cover food for 9, clothing for 9, gas, insurance, car expenses, utilities, entertainment, sports fees, school supplies, school trip fees, gifts for birthday parties etc etc. It just doesn’t seem like it would be enough. (Don’t know where you live but here in middle income America….things ain’t cheep!!) It is a far better decision for Kate to do DWTS. She earns $200,000 just for signing on! If she wins she’ll get another $100,000 for a few weeks work. THEN, she’ll have the rest of the year to work somewhere else and make more money. Kate is smart! She uses her calculator!! This is NOT just about the spotlight for Kate.Some of the things just automatically go along with the life style she has become accustomed to. 'So DON'T kid yourself, by saying Kate is all about Kate. 'Kate clearly shows that she loves those children, and is already concerned for their financial future. '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!!!!!
Why does her eyes go in different directions. Does she have a learning disability or something? It does not look like she has any talent anyway. She will not be a serious competitor on Dancing WTS. She just seems to out of shape and old. The young women look good in a good way. Pamela A. will do well because she looks good. This Kate seems to be just a loser from what I read and the public vote is what will take her down. Seems like that is what took the show she was on down so it must work or the show would still be on I would think. Seems like she really treated her husband bad to. Just seems like she only thinks of herself and seems like she don't even like her own children much less love them. Any one with any brains could read up and see that she is a bad mom because she uses them as an excuse why she does what she wants to do instead of what she needs to do. Gosh, she is really not liked but I can see why now.
I ADMIRE KATE GOSSELIN....She has taken a beating by the media and all you whacked insane KHATERS. But she goes on, You cant knock her down, because she will keep getting up!!
You Jealous Kate Hating "W.itches---Do you have Children??? ---If so' Your Children will be bullied the SAME way you are Bullying Kate.--- All the Hate you are putting on Kate,--- is going to come back on You and your Family Times ( X ) 12!!!!! It will happen I Promise"" You !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT ONLY WILL YOUR CHILDREN SUFFER BECAUSE OF YOUR EVIL WAYS-----YOU WILL SUFFER---ALL YOUR LOVED ONES WILL SUFFER BECAUSE OF YOUR HATE------I GUARANTEE AND PROMISE YOU-----IT WILL HAPPEN !!!!!!!!
Whoa, we got a total psycho in whoever posted the last like 20 some messages. Personally, I hope Kate breaks every bone in her body in the first episode. Go Buzz Aldrin.
Oh and make sure that Kate's security team comes looking for me after 5 PM, Central time, when I get out of work. LOL The more delusional you lovers are the funnier it is for me. Thanks.
2:16pm - you obviously have a very difficult time believing I'm not the only person who can't stand the witch. I am not Brad, Orderly, etc. etc. I have always used my real name unlike you, who is obviously way too scared to do that. Glad the others speak up as well. So believe what you want - the most funny part of all of this is that celebrities are critized all of the time and Kate wants to imagine she is a star. So, she has opened herself up for criticism. You and every other Kate lover out there is SO defensive - like you actually know what you're talking about and like you actually know anything about ANY poster on this blog. Don't give yourselves too much credit when you know NOTHING! Keep kissing Kate's a^^ and I'll keep criticizing her. It's all good. We both have that right. She's a useless person who WANTS attention and she'll get it - good or bad. When she does something GOOD I'll be the first to congratulate her. No one should hold their breath though!
3:30pm - Anonymous2 - you are ABSOLUTELY correct! Now I feel bad for Shamu......maybe he'll just chew her up and spit that nasty a^^ liar out of his mouth.
Kate looks fabulous! Really toned, and I love her hair. She's such a focused feisty person, she might do well on DWTS, even if she does have two left feet. A lot depends on her partner-a good male dancer can really show off his partner. Kate is bound to feel much better dancing than moping about grieving over Jon's misdeeds. Maybe she'll even meet someone nice. Best of luck, Kate!
if she hasn't put back money to be able too stay home. then she is a dumber $itch than i thought she was. and being a clown car for a litter of kids does not make them a star
Crystal you boob, we have to pay cable bills and our taxes. so yes we have to pay for her crap. i don't work 60 hrs a week to support her and her litter. that's what they need to get actual jobs for. many people do it.
All you idiots have to do, is NOT watch the show. Kate is not the IDIOT you are. Why do you care if she is on the show if you never read posts? You are a insane obsessed LYING IDIOT. Lmao
So what if you win Kate? You still have no man, bad(fake)hair, and eyes that each go in opposite directions.
I may be repeating what has been said many times before (because I never read the other posts)...Kate Gosselin is an idiot and I recommend nobody vote for her so we can get rid of her as soon as possible....even before a no talent like Anderson Lee (just when is she putting out another home video anyways?)

I guess you just have to feel sorry for stupid people like kate. there is nothing in that blond head of hers. its empty so how can she understand the reality of people despising her? I guess feel sorry for her and continue to pay her so she can pay the nannies to raise her kids for her. she's too stupid do raise them her self anyway.
it is very funny how fake kate doesn't realize how many people make fun of her. Newspapers, late night tv, CNN, radio djs everyong is making fun of her and showing how much they do not like her but kate thinks she is a star. how can she be THAT dumb? no one wants her around. no one of importance anyway but she keeps forcing her self on everyone.
