Kate Gosselin

Kate Gosselin tweeted a photo of her 11-year-old daughter Mady trying on her high heels this weekend, and many of her Twitter followers were not big fans.

Much like Jessica Simpson's baby bikini photo, some people say she went too far.

In Kate's case, the seemingly innocent pic shows Mady's bare legs in mom's heels:

The mother of eight tweeted with the photo: "hafta make u guess who just HAD to try on my heels that I just unpacked from my bag tonight... Starts w an 'M."

Many of her followers were less than impressed.

A vocal Kate critic wrote: "What Mom showcases her 11 yr old's legs to 100,000 Twitter followers with all the pedophiles out there, wearing Mom's high heels!"

Some stood up for the reality star turned Fashion Week runway model.

"I guess I'm truly NOT SEEIN what they see! Nothin abt that sent off any alarm 4me. Just a kid in heels," one defender said. What's your take? Tell us below!

What do you think of Kate Gosselin's photo, posted above?

Mom. Reality star. Coupon Cabin blogger. Runway model?!

Kate Gosselin raised eyebrows this week for reasons much different than usual, strutting down the runway at New York's Fashion Week ... yes, seriously.

Wednesday night, the always-controversial 37-year-old mother of eight strutted her stuff during Derek Warburton's Real Fashion, Real Runway show.

Here's a toned, tanned Kate a one-shoulder white dress ... think she's got what it takes to be a runway model? Think Jon is kicking himself right now?

Despite the fact that all proceeds benefited Bottomless Closet, an organization that helps lower-income New York women become self-sufficient and provides them with business attire, many people took issue with Kate Gosselin modeling in the show.

"We have all been in Twitter wars about Kate," Warburton said.

"They were attacking us for having her in the show. I responded saying, 'Listen, we are not paying her. She is doing this out of the goodness of her heart.'"

"What's remarkable is every time we get a nasty tweet about Kate, she writes and apologizes. She doesn't care about haters, she cares about the charity."

"She must have apologized to me five times for the things people say about her. Kate is so nice, sweet and accommodating and cool," Warburton gushed.

The real question ... Kate Gosselin: Would you hit it?

Jon Gosselin's claims he's broke and can't pay rent because he has to pay child support. This is apparently news to his ex-wife Kate Gosselin.

According to her attorney, he's not even on the hook anymore.

Cheryl Young, who has represented Kate in her ongoing legal battle with her ex, says Jon no longer has to pay Kate a dime for their kids.

Says Young: "I read Jon’s statement and was quite surprised to read that he claims to be struggling to keep his child support payments current."

"As of April 27, 2012, Kate voluntarily relieved Jon Gosselin of all current and future child support obligations for their eight children," she added.

The former Jon & Kate Plus 8 star claimed yesterday that he is strapped for cash and fearful of his ability to pay support - and stay out of jail.

"I can't afford to pay my rent and the domestic-relations staff tells me they will put me in jail unless I pay child support," Jon told Star Magazine.

Kate Gosselin is shopping around a new reality show about her search for fame love, and ABC's Jimmy Kimmel already has the perfect hook for it.

Think The Bachelorette meets Deadliest Catch.

What happens when you take 12 men, have Sarah Palin shoot them with tranquilizers and release them onto an island for Kate and her kids to hunt them like wild animals, with the last victim standing forced into a lifetime of wedded bliss suffering?

The promo for Escape From Gosselin Island!

Escape From Gosselin Island

The title and premise of Kimmel's parody above are pretty much 100 percent accurate, but what would you name a Kate Gosselin reality show?

Run and hide, men around the world. Kate Gosselin wants to find love again.

And, hey, if it comes along with the fame and fortune of another reality TV run, the mother of eight won't object.

Not long after expressing sorrow for her former life and series, Gosselin is shopping a dating show around to the networks, according to E! News.

"She is ready to get back into the dating game," an insider says of Gosselin. "She is ready to find love again and to move on from her past. She's excited, this is a chance to start something new."

The source adds that Gosselin is having trouble tracking down Mr. Right in her everyday life (maybe because she's a terrible person) and is even willing to "travel around the country" as part of the program.

Kate and ex-husband Jon Gosselin are on great terms these days and the country is clearly clamoring for at least one of them to step into the spotlight again. No, wait. It's the exact opposite.

What would you title a Kate Gosselin dating show?

Kate Gosselin's missing the bygone era when she was a reality TV star traveling the world with her brood, according to a recent Twitter missive. So much so, she even watches old episodes of the old days ... we can't decide if that's sweetly nostalgic or just sad.

The mother of eight Tweeted:

"Wow. We all agreed: we miss our show & the adventures and huge opportunities to help and entertain :) others! Why am I watching and crying??!"

"We are watching the St Jude's episode... I am crying... Happy and sad tears... Old episodes of Jon & Kate +8 warms our hearts..." Kate later added.

Gosselin's popularity, once in the celebrity gossip stratosphere, plummeted to the point that a cruise featuring her was axed due to lack of interest.

Kate now blogs for the random online site Coupon Cabin dot com.

On the plus side, she's made peace with her ex, and Jon Gosselin even sent her a long-overdue apology for the way he's behaved over the years.

When it comes to burying the hatchet, better late than never!

An apologetic, introspective Jon Gosselin says he and Kate are getting along well now, and he can't believe how he acted after they broke up ... yes, seriously!

"I am sorry, because I did stuff I wouldn't want done to me," he says.

Referring to the parade of women he dated right after they split, and to his preening for attention from celebrity news sites and TV stations, Jon is ashamed.

He accepts his share of responsibility and then some, saying: "I was passive-aggressive. Then I'd get mad, but I was the one who wasn't communicating."

At least nowadays, he says he and Kate Gosselin are on good terms.

"I'll call [Kate] up and say, 'Mady's sick. What do I do?' And she'll tell me," he says. "She's a great Mom. We just have different parenting styles."

Jon Gosselin, 35, is back in Berks County, Pa., living close to Kate, who also opened up recently and said that after two years, she's made peace with Jon.

Having bounced around jobs, he recently took one as director of sales and promotions for Gameface Int. and started dating single mom Liz Jannetta, 27.

Time and counseling have helped him get a grip, he tells People.

"There are two things you can do with your fame – sell out or take it and use it for good ... I didn't grasp that at the time [of the divorce]," Jon notes. 

Who is this guy and what did he do with Jon 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.

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.
