Kate Gosselin, once a goldmine for TLC, has now become a pariah in the reality tv world. Kate thought even after the cancellation of her series, it’d be easy to land another one. Turns out that’s not the case. No one is hiring her or even remotely considering it. Unless her ass doubles in size, she gets fifteen sisters and marries a pro-athlete, things aren’t looking good.
“She has approached many different networks, including pitching a travel show idea to her old network, TLC, but so far no one has said yes,” an insider tells me. “She assumed that given her fame, producers and networks would be knocking her over with job offers and is, to say the least, very surprised that she hasn’t received a single one.”
“Like many reality stars Kate is in a very difficult position,” a reality show casting director tells me. “Who wants to go back to a real day job after being paid to work three or four months a year. Everyone I have ever met on a reality show thinks it will never end. They quit their day jobs and assume they will become rich and famous. They do become infamous [but] — with the exception of Bethenny Frankel — they never become rich. Plus, who is going to hire them for a real job after they have made a fool out of themselves on TV?” HuffPo Celebrity
Aw, shucks. But I can see why no one wants Kate for a new show. The Real Housewives have the market for uppity b*tches cornered.
