Kate Gosselin on Dating, Running, and Couponing
August 08, 2012
Television
“Extra” recently sat down with celebrity mom Kate Gosselin, who said she isn’t opposed to doing a dating show.
“Yes, I would do a dating show, if it was tasteful and well done,” admitted the reality TV star.
She laughed, saying her eight kids ask her all the time if she is ever going date anyone new. “It's the constant discussion at dinner,” said Gosselin. “‘When are you going start dating somebody?’ And I keep telling them, ‘It's not like you go to the store and buy a date.’ I can't put it on my to-do list.”
For now, Kate is content with baking her own bread daily and staying in shape by going on 10-mile runs. “I enjoy the alone time. Nobody runs with me. My kids... goodbye!”
Gosselin is also giving money-saving tips on CouponCabin.com. “I have always used coupons. If you're saving a dollar here, it's a dollar I can put somewhere else.”

@April: Yes I have seen the pics and for sure she controls every bite those kids put in their mouths. My 2 kids eat more than all nine of them put together and they never had a weight problem. As a matter of fact both my kids are athletes and my son is a national swimmer and eats 10,000 calories a day so my husband and I have huge food bills. But those are sacrifices we make in order for our kids to persu THEIR dreams. Kate just doesn't get it. If you don't make sacrifices for your kids they will never know the true meaning of love. Kate hates spending on the kids because it takes away from lavishing herself with material things. Yesterday she tweeted a pic of the kids eating ice cream in front of the t.v. They were all lined up in a row. What children sit like that?? No way kids line in a row to eat. Some sit on the couch, some on the floor. What is that all about???
Still throwing Jon under the bus by assuming she's a single mom. You're a divorce mom you twit. What kid would think about the word "Dating"? They think about things a kid would think about. Going out running alone! Kate is so used to being alone without her kids; the kids has gotten so used to Kate gone so much, they tell her go away. The thing about not being on DWTS, Kate wanted to be on DWTS she made sure the media knew it and then she comes back to say, "I'm glad they didn't call me again." Kate is a bunch of BS. And still exploiting her children in a different angle. I hope everyone here and EXTRA who ever wrote this article see the pattern Kate is plotting. I'm so sick of her saying she's the mother of 8 kids. Kate is so pathetic.

@Lucy: Have you seen the pics of food Kate tweets? I'm sorry, but that slop is not organic. It looks more like concentration camp slop. I think she uses running as a coverup for her eating disorder and as a scheme( RNR races for publicity), and to avoid her kids. This whole trying-to-be-an-A-lister Kate puts ahead of being a mother and raising her kids.
She has been explaining to her kids that you can't just go to the supermarket and pick up a date? Okay...true..but, then she is pointing out that what mommy has to do is get a reality show and date several men from around the country, and they get to watch! That is how you do it kids! Mommy is totally into giving you a warped sense of reality and that it is all about mommy. Ahh, Kate, there are several social organizations you can participate in to get a "date".. And, please I am sick and tired of hearing you are a single mother of 8 kids! You don't work! Most single mothers have to work and then come home and cook, clean, do laundy, pay bills and take care of their kids! They don't even have the luxury of going off for "runs" and leaving their children behind. There are women running in home day-care with more children than you have, trying to make ends meet. And, Pam Anderson and the DWTS participants would like you stop talking about them. I could go on-GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE, KATE!
@April: Yes you are so right. She admitted on twitter that the kids ate ice cream but she never eats it. How sad to not share ice cream with your kids. Her kids are going to have issues with food too.
There are other things I forgot to mention. Kate obviously has an eating disorder (obsession with calories, and food),and her Coupon Cabin posts, most of them are useless and have nothing to do with saving money. She's also using Coupon Cabin as part of her scheme of getting back into the spotlight. Her 8 Twitter fans are crazy nutters and attack anyone who don't praise Kate and calls them haters.
She runs to keep in shape so she can attend the RnR marathons which sponsor her to be there. NOT because she just wants to compete or likes running. She wants a dating show to make money. Not to actually find a man. She only does what she can make money from or grift free stuff from.
Bragging about baking bread. geez. It isn't hard to throw stuff in a bread machine and then into oven.
What a talentless lying hag.
Kate is not a runner. She needs to stop marketing herself as something she's not. She pretends to run because if she thinks people think she's a runner, she can get on TV and it's also another scheme to be back in the spotlight. She isn't even a role model either. Her 15 minutes have been up long ago and it's about time for her to get back to reality, be a mom, and get a job.
What a FREAK.
Me, me, I, I, me and mine.
Apparently she is the ONLY person on the planet who thinks the world is dying to 'take up where they left off' and return to exploiting her kids for money and watching her be the world worst, most PHONY mother.
Meh - please just go away lady. Not only for the nauseated public but for the sake of your kids. Try being a MOTHER for once, one of life's most important jobs.
If she is such a wondermom how does she go on 10 mile runs alone? Either she leaves the kids or she has help. She's not doing it "alone"
Yes Kate we have heard the same song and dance over and over. I am a single mother ( by the way last I heard Jon is still alive and also has custody which makes Kate a divorced mother) My kids are dying for me to date and remind me every day...LOL! Most normal kids think about their own needs. Where is lover boy Steve, Kate's companion and travel partner??? Kate is baking bread every day....I guess that makes her special. Oh and the best one of all is that her 8 fans are begging her to come back on t.v. LOL!!!!! Notice no one is interviewing her which leads me to believe she is looking in a mirror and talking to herself.
What was with the weird eye rolling when she said "cost effective". Is it embarrasing to her highness to try to give us "mediocre" people advice on how to save money?
There is something seriously wrong with Kate. Her desperation is sickening.
