Despite the dubious reasons for Kate Gosselin becoming a household name, she's a bona fide celebrity now, and will compete on Dancing with the Stars Season 10!
Like fellow contestant Jake Pavelka, Kate is only famous for being on another TV show, and for the assorted celebrity gossip stories that followed in her personal life.
Can she bring Dancing glory back to Pennsylvania? We sincerely doubt it. Will she be a ratings draw? You know it. Here's a brief rundown on this DWTS contender ...

Deb- That is what I thought. Run away when you have nothing left on your side. College Proffessor using text language Oh how classy is that Mrs. Perfect. People that boast about how great their lives are, are usually unhappy. I could give 2 $hits about my spelling. You are probably nothing but a loser with no life.

LOL Melissa. I guess anyone can have a "typo" (read your posts and you will see what I mean). I don' have any more time to sit here and argue with the likes of you. Regardless of what you think, I have a great life sitting here on my pedestal, as you call it. Too bad you will never have the chance to experience what it feels like! Thank you for the great laugh you have provided a group of people who I have shown your messages to. You should write to Kate. Maybe you are good enough to be a nanny to her kids. Hope you enjoy your life. Bye!!

Deb- I'm so glad you are high and mighty about being a college professor and want to critique my spelling. But since you are so perfect and a professor and I am not maybe YOU should learn to spell as well. “Also, you might want to check the dictinary for the correct spelling of the word hypocrite before using it.” As far as this uneducated person knows dictionary has an “o” in it. So there you go Mrs. Perfect can’t spell herself. Take a look in the mirror honey before being a “Kate” to someone else!!!!!!

Melissa - Kate is not a great mother. Even today with all the negative attention, she still would rather dance then be home with her children. That is not something America doesn't know. If you read my posts, I did not ever say Jon was not to blame as well. I agree that he should not be running around with the young women he is, but as long as he keeps them away from his children when he is with them, then it is his right to date who he wants. Yes I did watch the show in the beginning, when they were just like all the other shows with children. It was nice to watch the children grow up. However, it didn't take long for Kate to change into this "control freak" and begin treating her children, husband and other family members like insubordinates. That is when I stopped watching the show. As well Melissa, I never said all men cheat because they don't get the attention they need, but Jon did cheat because he did not get the attention he needed. That is something that Kate even admitted to and apologized for. If my daughter ever treated her husband like Kate treated Jon, then she would have to deal with the consequences. As for educaton, I am a college instructor. Just for the record, the word decent does not have an "s" in it. Also, you might want to check the dictinary for the correct spelling of the word hypocrite before using it. Lastly Melissa, I did not stick up for Pamela Anderson. I have never really known much about her, other than seeing her the 1 or 2 times that I watched Baywatch. The only thing I said about Pamela was that she made her money as a Hollywood actress, not someone who exploited her children on TV to gain fame and fortune. Do I hate Kate, no. I think she has a kind spot buried somewhere in that heart of hers. Do I think she is the kind of mother I would want, definitely not! Abby - I do not watch Dancing with the Stars to see Kate, I watch it to see my favorite, Evan and a few of the others. It is usually great entertainment.

Deb & "TO MELISSA Says" if you two so called ladies do not like Kate Gosselin why do you watch her? Why do you talk about her?

Deb- you are criticizing me just as i am criticizing you. You assume you are better than me because I don’t agree with you. You are acting like Kate then! I'm so happy you are so in love with your husband but why are you trying to say that other woman whose husband have cheated on them is because they don’t give their men enough attention? Is it really always their fault? hmm maybe you should get yourself off that high pedestal before you fall off. And it is very rude of you to say you hope I am not a mother. Shame on you for being so rude. I hope if you have a daughter her husband never cheats on her. What would you say to her... Maybe you should have given him more attention???? I am not saying its not wrong for having the kids on TV. my point was that everyone including you, DEB, is putting Kate down. Jon is just to blame he didn’t pull those kids off until he stopped making money from it. And look at the females he has been dating. Doesn’t that say anything to you? The other thing I would like to know... have you ever watched Jon & Kate plus 8? Hmm 2 ways to look at that if you never did then you don’t know what went on and if you did watch it then you are just as horrible of a person you claim Kate to be. How could you watch her freak show? And if you want to get nasty with me I think you are probably the kind of person most descent humans wouldn’t want to be. You stick up for someone like Pam Anderson. I can make a ton of accusations about you too. You sound uneducated you sound like you have no life and I should be like you and tell you your not a good mother and that there are all kinds of disgusting humans that are mother and grandmother. That’s including you.

Melissa, just for the record.....I am the kind of woman I think Kate should be. You don't know me, so don't try passing judgement. I have always been here for my children and now my grandchildren, and they love me as much as I love them!! As well, they have never needed counselling!! My husband never had to go out cheating, I give him all the attetion he will ever need! We are soul mates and best friends. We do not need to belittle each other to make ourselves feel better!

You can tell what kind of a person Melissa is by reading her comments. They are very uneducated sounded and really don'tmake sense. When I see the source of the comments (Melissa) I really feel sorry for people like her. That is what is wrong with this country, too many people who think like she does. (It is okay to use kids as a freak show to make yourself money). (She will need to use it for all the counselling they will need as teenagers)! I really hope you are not a mother Melissa!
