Kate Gosselin dancing on to new series

Just when you thought Kate Gosselin really cared about all of your “Dancing with the Stars” votes that are keeping her on (and on the show’s payroll) week after week, AP reports today that super mom will be headed to her own series later this year, as well as a series of specials based on her previous reality show life. Hey, a mom’s gotta do, what a mom’s gotta do.

The details according to AP:

Kate Gosselin is launching a series that will profile everyday women facing personal challenges.

“Twist of Kate” will follow the reality star and supermom as she visits the homes and workplaces of her subjects, where she will exchange insights for living. The 12-episode season will premiere in late summer, the TLC network said Thursday.

The single mother of young twins and sextuplets, Gosselin will also revisit her family life for a series of “Kate Plus 8” specials beginning in June.

Kate and her then-husband Jon starred for several seasons in the hit reality series “Jon & Kate Plus 8,” which collapsed last fall as the couple’s marriage fell apart.

This week, Jon Gosselin sued his ex-wife for primary custody of their eight children.

Gosselin’s attorney, Anthony List, has previously accused Kate Gosselin of neglecting the children because she appears on ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars,” a charge her attorney rejected as “patently false.”
