Kate Gosselin's Hand Job

Thumbnail image for kate-gosselin-hair-ext-people-mag-cvr.jpgWhoops! I meant to say that Kate Gosselin was handed another job. My bad. Though, perhaps that's how she got her new position. I kid! We all know Kate doesn't have an ounce of sexuality left to squeeze out of her sourpuss face. Yes folks, good news hails like a mana from heaven - it's been announced that the female parental figure of the Gosselin clan will be getting her own reality show. I, for one, nearly wept with relief. The airwaves just ain't the same without her. Details, via Chelsea Lately

[Kate Gosselin is reportedly returning to television, minus the eight and the Asian.  An executive from Discovery Networks, which owns TLC, revealed that Kate's new "untitled show" will air later this year. The show will apparently follow Kate around as she tries "her hand at different jobs." I would personally be more interested in the show if she was trying different jobs with her hands, but I guess I'm not the demographic they are targeting.]

[On Wednesday morning, TheWrap.com had reported the new reality project -- which the network had first announced in September --  would apparently be a more sanitary version of Dirty Jobs (which airs on TLC's Discovery Channel sibling network) and feature Gosselin "trying different jobs and tasks and showing how she performs in the different environments."

In addition, the report claimed the series would include an interactive component that would -- similar to Tiffany Pollard's New York Goes to Work reality series which aired on VH1 last year -- allow viewers to determine the jobs Gosselin would undertake. "It's more like Kate Gosselin, firefighter, not Kate Gosselin, wife and homemaker," a source told TheWrap.com, which had also reported that the show would premiere in late spring or early summer.

In December, Raleigh, NC's WRAL-TV CBS affiliate filmed Gosselin serving food at Finch's Restaurant -- however the network's reporter was subsequently ushered out by her bodyguard, Steve Neild, who said they were shooting a "test" segment for an upcoming program.

A TLC spokeswoman subsequently confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that the diner shoot was being filmed as part of Gosselin's new project with the network but failed to provide additional details.]

Good thing I've got a vat of coffee available here at my NAMM press nook, otherwise this story would have me curled up in a corner sound asleep. If I miss seeing Eagles of Death Metal today, there will be hell to pay. Do you hear me, Ms. Gosselin? By the way, does anyone want to watch Kate anymore, or am I missing something?
