Kate Gosselin: Dancing with Stars, in Basement
by Free Britney at .As we reported yesterday afternoon and confirmed last night, Kate Gosselin has joined the Dancing with the Stars cast for the season starting March 22.
If you thought casting Kate as one of the "stars" was a stretch, think again. ABC feels she'll be such a ratings draw, they bent over backwards to get her.
For example, while the rest of the cast - announced last night after The Bachelor finale - practices in L.A., Kate will do so in her Pennsylvania basement.
Kate will be practicing her moves in a newly-converted dance studio at home so she can be near the eight kids she spawned with d-bag ex Jon Gosselin.
Dancing with the Stars is not only letting Kate slide with this unconventional arrangement, the show will be footing a hefty bill for the makeshift studio.
Are you excited to see Kate bust a move on DWTS?
Kate's partner, Tony Dovolani, will fly to Kate's home for practice. Kate will only be in L.A. two days per week, for the taping, until she gets voted off.
Which should be approximately one episode.
When she's cutting a rug on the west coast, her kids will stay in Pennsylvania with a nanny. Presumably not one by the name of Stephanie Santoro.
Kate apparently told Dancing with the Stars that this was the only way she'd do the show, "because she's a single mom trying to make money."
One with the right priorities ... kind of.

stfu haters!! GO KATE!! kill it gurrl
This money hungry $%&% will not pay for anything will she??? SPENDS TIME WITH HER KIDS??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? JOn is trying to step up but she won't let him, she is using the Trump(S) card her kids!!!! Instead she would rather have nanny's look after her kids.... ANd why in the hell is she on Dancing with the stars anyway...SHE IS FAR FROM STARDOM???
I HOPE KATE WINS. No one wants to support her eight kids ( not even the father) so let her be all she can be. She has earned her spot with a lot of hard work. Just for one month keep a chart of what it costs you to take care of one child and then xxx that by 8. Now you understand... so shut up and sit down and enjor the show
ABC can do a lot of things for Kate but they can't give her talent, personality or ease on camera. If she wins it proves the show is rigged.
I hope her the best and hope she proves every one wrong. Don’t waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind. The race is long and, in the end, it’s only with yourself.
