Kate Gosselin, who shot to fame as the mother of eight children and the grating wife of Jon Gosselin on Jon & Kate Plus 8, is mulling her next career move.

And that just might be a talk show.

“I’ve been given the gift of gab, so why not use it?” Gosselin, 34, told an audience at the Southern Women’s Show in Charlotte, where she was on Friday.

It’s true, she does have a gift of being opinionated, abrasive and confrontational. Kate seemed to fit in on The View, even if she was slammed by Whoopi.

She might want to go back to the new hair, though. Why she opted to return to the reverse-mullet / dead opossum weave so soon is a mystery to us.

In addition to answering these critical questions about her new professional plans, Kate Gosselin told the North Carolina crowd of about 700 that:

  • Other than reviewing episodes of Jon & Kate Plus 8 before they air, she rarely watches any television, and prefers reading to her children.
  • The family’s house may be neat as a pin, but her private space is a different matter. “My bedroom and my closet … it’s a dumping ground.”
  • She’s thinking about writing a book about the drama in her life. Nothing like lamenting and trying to cash in on celebrity gossip attention.
  • In response to a woman identifying with her after a recent breakup, Gosselin answered: “I don’t think you want to talk to me about that.”

At least she got that one right. Fortunately for Kate, there were no comments from the audience about Stephanie Santoro or Hailey Glassman.
