Kate Gosselin

Are the years of public feuding between Jon and Kate Gosselin finally a thing of the past? She certainly hinted as much on the Today show yesterday.

Kate, who's still being stalked by some freak, told Ann Curry that she and her ex have made peace and are working together to raise their children.

"I can honestly say it's more peaceful than it's ever been," said the 37-year-old. "I feel that a really big weight has been lifted off my shoulders."

Despite all the bad blood - just last month, she hammered Jon for flaking on child support - Kate had nothing but praise for him this time around.

"He's really been positive and more available and it's just less stressful. I feel like he's been working with me more, and the kids notice," she said.

"And that's good. Because I've always just wanted that peace, not just for me, but for them and we're finally to a point where it's happening.”

To think, all the time and energy that Kate spent dragging Jon's name through the mud on TV and Twitter can now be saved for her huge brood.

“I can take that emotional energy that was so wasted in that area and put it back towards the kids and taking care of them," she told Curry.

A novel concept. Let's just hope it lasts more than a week.

Mother's Day is a wonderful celebration honoring our moms and celebrating motherhood, maternal bonds and the influence of mothers in society in general.

Here at THG, this means a little tribute to some of the celebrity moms we've come to know and love ... and also a bunch who could use some improvement.

On this 13th day of May, take a look at a 13 popular THG celeb moms (and 13 more who also have kids) in the poll below and vote for your favorite (and least favorite):

Royal Caribbean's Kate Gosselin-hosted celebrity cruise has been canceled because of poor turnout and low ticket sales, according to reports.

The mother of eight was supposed to set sail from August 12-19 at a rate of $1,900-$3,175 per ticket. Astonishingly, there weren't many takers.

All cruise-goers have been fully refunded for the nixed event.

Said a spokesman for the company of the Kate Gosselin cruise:

"Yes, that event has been canceled. We just didn't get the turnout that we desired and mutually we agreed that if we didn't get it, we would cancel."

"All ticket purchasers have been notified and been refunded. Some have chosen to continue on the cruise, but everyone was given the choice."

The reality star was apparently very apologetic at least.

"Kate asked for everybody's names, addresses and phone numbers and reached out to each one personally," the spokeswoman added.

"It was nothing to do with Kate Gosselin ... we needed to hit certain numbers to make it work and they just weren't where they needed to be."

It's unclear how many tickets were actually purchased.

Kate Gosselin had a lot on her plate as it is, but now the maligned reality mom is receiving threatening messages from a mystery, sinister antagonist.

Using a profile picture depicting the bible verse John 8:32, the ominous stalker has been sending the former Kate Plus 8 star increasingly creepy tweets.

The messages began April 26 with a countdown of when the antagonist will expose Kate Gosselin's dark secrets and supposed "immoral ways."

In 56 days from that Tweet, BT-dub.

“56 more days Kate!! It's not too late to change your ways. Follow us for updates!" wrote the stalker, before posting a follow-up five days later.

“I know what you did @Kateplusmy8, and in 51 days so will the world,” the freak wrote, tagging Radar Online to further publicize their efforts.

The creep also references Kate's publicist: “Hi Julie Carson May! Can't wait 4 u to read about ur greatest creation! You must be so proud of yourself!”

It's unclear what she did that was so bad or why it would shock people - it's pretty much a universally held belief that Kate Gosselin sucks anyway - but whatev.

In the New Testament of the bible, verse John 8:32 reads: “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” This is deep stuff people.

Kate's supposed judgment day is June 21, according to our calculations, the same night of the summer solstice, for what that's worth (nothing).

Jon Gosselin has fallen behind on his child support payments to his ex-wife Kate Gosselin again, according to a tabloid report, to the tune of $3,557.06.

That's far less than the amount Levi Johnston is accused of owing for just one child, but it's enough to mean legal consequences for Jon just the same.

The former Jon & Kate Plus 8 reality star has eight kids he is required to support by law, and the Pennsylvania Dept. of Child Welfare is calling him out.

Kate Gosselin seemed blindsided by the fact that Jon was going to go back to court for non-payment of child support after a Twitter follower alerted her.

“I don't know if he's going to court but wouldn't surprise me.... How do you know this stuff?!?” she wrote but quickly stopped engaging the follower:

“Woah....I'm not allowed to talk about orders from the court.…"

Probably smart. Since TLC canned their show, Kate has been working as a blogger for CouponCabin (dot) com while Jon has been working construction.

Their contentious relationship often involves slamming each other on Twitter, but if Jon really does owe back child support, a real battle could erupt.

Kate Gosselin has scarcely been in the news lately. Thank goodness.

Don't worry, though: even with TLC mercifully cancelling Kate Plus 8 last year, the attention-starved mother of eight isn't about to rest on her laurels.

She's blogging like a madman for CouponCabin (dot com) and longing for the morning that someone will call and offer her brood a new reality show.

Don't hold your breath, Kate. But happy 37th birthday babe.

It seems like only yesterday that Kate was burning up our TVs with her weekly emasculation of Jon ... then burning up our site with her marital problems.

Memories. Cheers to you, 2009.

In non-grating-banshee news, it's also Lady Gaga's birthday today! Not to mention Vince Vaughn, Reba McEntire, Julia Stiles and others. Yay, March 28!

Kate Gosselin still doesn’t know if she is ready to move on.

It’s been nearly two years since she separated from her ex Jon Gosselin, and the mother of eight sat down with Dr. Drew Wednesday for a tearful, candid interview.

The usually stoic 36-year-old got choked up, confessing that the single life “so lonely” and saying it would take a very special man to take on eight kids now.

Even if one wanted to, she isn't sure she can handle that.

Kate Gosselin Cries on Dr. Drew

When asked “Do you have a love life?’ Kate replied: "No. I'm too busy."

"A lot of my friends who are being constructive say 'gosh, who are you going to meet that is going to be able to deal with eight kids?' My answer's always if they can deal with eight children in our situation it probably will be the person. It will sort of prove it."

Dr. Drew pushed Kate further, asking: "You're tough but don't you want somebody in your life?" To which she replied: "Absolutely! The odds are so against me."

There is a Kate Gosselin cruise. Yes, a cruise featuring Kate Gosselin herself. This summer. Offered by Royal Caribbean, which is like a major cruise line.

On August 12-19, if you are so inclined, you can set sail with Kate on a ship for between $1,900 and $3,175. A small price to pay for a brush with ... wait.

The trip starts in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., moving on to Jamaica, Cozumel, etc. Kate will be available for Q&A sessions, photo ops, crafts and cocktail parties!

Better vacation: This or a week in Pyongyang?

The hilarious thing is that Kate Gosselin, for all her good qualities (there must be some, we're thinking) is basically famous for yelling, being a grating harpy, insisting on having things her way, seeking attention and emasculating her then-husband.

Just want you want to be around ... on VACATION.

Are people actually interested in things like this? Is it actually a selling point to go on a celebrity cruise? Or one with Kate Gosselin for that matter?

Seriously, tell us. And if the answer is yes, just spend August working instead. Some nice overtime pay has to be better than Mai Tais with the TLC banshee.

Who's your favorite Kate?

Kate Gosselin doesn't normally do New Year's resolutions, but she is this time. After a crazy 2011, what's she striving for to make 2012 all it can be?

"I don't typically make New Year's resolutions," she writes on CouponCabin. "However, I do aim for certain things as I organize and prioritize my life."

Her goal is both simple and profound:

Accomplish something! With passion!

She writes, "This year, I learned that if I want to accomplish something, whether it's hanging a picture in my home, building a chicken coop or running a marathon, it's all possible if my mindset is one of determination and positivity!"

"The year of 2011 for me was a year of gaining complete independence, and learning to look for solutions in every situation instead of focusing on the problems. I've always said that I don't live apologetically; I live passionately!"

"A great way to do that is to learn from the past and make it better in the future."

Amen, Kate. Good luck with that. We're sure we'll be hearing all about it.
