TLC reality star Kate Gosselin has been sitting in on The View this week while Elizabeth Hasselbeck is on maternity leave. On Friday’s show, the Jon & Kate Plus 8 celebrity mom talked about child custody issues, a reported Playboy magazine offer and even chatted it up with comedian Kathy Griffin.

In response to reports that Gosselin, no slouch in a bikini, has been offered $400,000 to do a nude Playboy photo shoot, Kate says it never happened.

Griffin can rock a bikini in her own right and did so recently in her spoof video called Kate is Enough. The comedian said she’d PAY Playboy $100,000 to let HER pose nude dressed in a Kate wig. Gosselin admits that she did laugh out loud when she viewed the Jimmy Kimmel video clip of Griffin mocking her.

Kate, who has been sporting wavy hair this week, acknowledged that ‘the babysitter incident’ was a very emotional situation and she admits she sobbed at the gate before leaving the property.
