Kate Gosselin to help host ‘The View’
As if The View didn’t already have enough estrogen to power an aircraft carrier.
Word on the street (OK, PEOPLE.com) is that mom of eight Kate Gosselin is among the celebrities who will step in as guest host while Elisabeth Hasselbeck is on maternity leave.
Gosselin will appear Sept. 14 and 15, according to PEOPLE.
LaToya Jackson and Meghan McCain will also help out.
Gosselin, the star of “Jon and Kate Plus Eight,” is in the middle of a very publicly televised divorce.

She’s not a celebrity, She just allowed a TV shows to ruin her life and that of her children. She is a moron just like any of the idiots that would watch this crap.By Bar bee

Kate is as normal as any woman that has twins and sextuplets and by the way, the divorce rate is really high with anyone at this time. I don’t think anyone set out to ruin any of the kids lives. What other kind of job could she hold with that many kids - we make do with what we have and if I had that many kids, I wouldn’t be that nice all the time either - I’m not that nice all the time and I only have 2 kids. I enjoy watching people that are real and don’t put on an act like we see most of the time.By Kate Supporter

I am looking forward to seeing Kate on The View. Hopefully Joy will let her talk. Joy is getting to be as bad as Rosey was and it has made me quit watching the show unless they have a guest I want to see. I will watch the two days Kate is on and hope many others do too. She has enough problems in her life with trying to raise 8 kids, well nine until Jon left. It has to be hard on her to go thru this divorce being so public and Jon dating anyone that will have him. Let’s give her a little slack for all she has done to show how hard it is to raise that many kids. I know it was her decision but at least she didn’t kill any of them! At least she has some common sense, morals, and trys to do what is right for her kids which is more than I can say for Octomom! Now that is on sick lady! Good luck Kate and more power to you!By deb

Having Kate on the show is going to be good…REALLY GOOD!!!!! You’ll see the consumate “bee-ach” confront the estrogen fueled panel has beens/wanna be’s/sociopathic gobblygook provacatures of mindless verbal “schmuck”…and then she’ll take over the show!!! “Kate Supporter” will be in “rapture”, watching her hero, Kate, perform the dance of B.S./calculated success/blame transfer/Oh…”it’s all for the kids” blatant lies. “Kate Supporter” will explain anything away while watching her hero!!! How about supporting Jon, “Kate Supporter?” That’s a concept as alien to Kate as truth, isn’t it?By Katehater

I love watching Whoopi and Joy on the view but I WILL NOT be watching the two days Kate is on. As a mother you should not nor should you let others exploit your children. Kate is jealous that Jon is now getting the attention she never showed him.By Ann

How is Kate a celebrity? I thought celebrities sang, danced or acted. Oh wait-acting. Yep she may qualify with the crocodile tears and “oh poor me” attitude. Money must be getting tight. Let’s hire an agent- make me a star- you know “love me or hate me” one.By Mandie

I don’t think it is fair to be so critical of someone, e.g. Kate Gosselin,unless one knows the facts. Conjecture is ridiculous. If you haven’t walked in someone elses shoes then keep your comments to yourself. I will continue to watch Jon and Kate Plus Eight, as well as The View.By Well..suzanne...

…continue to watch your “vast wasteland” as you confuse opinion with “conjecture”…you know, the talent of acute observation is always called “conjucture” by those who don’t posses it. You’re sure bossy with your “keep your comments to yourself” B.S. Oh!!!!!>>>you’re a Kate fan, so you get pointers from her as you watch her vast wasteland!! Hell of a role model, suzanne. Idiot!!!By jan

This woman has issues and now she will have even more just thinking she MIGHT be a celebrity…dream on. BIG BIG MISTAKE. Would like to know how much their ratings will go down on those 2 days.By michele m boeke

SO tired of hearing about her. She needs to get a life like all of us and quit using her kids to pay for the life she has.She is somebody who has the big head and thinks she is better than others. And yes, she was a horrible woman the way she treated her husband. Will not watch the view those two days.By Judy

Kate needs to stay home and take care of her kids!!! They need her now more than ever! I hope they cancel the series.By rabbit29

I have one serious question here. If Jon and Kate really care about their children and their privacy, why do they continue to play the public and the media as fools to their income making appearances? Both of you get a real job and quit sucking up the media for more income! Your reality show is over and time to face the real world without cameras. At least, do it for your children because they more you exploit the media, the harder it will be on the children as they grow up.By Gin2

I bet if all of you had that many children you would also be on television given the chance to earn money in times like this. It is hard enough at a regular job to feed your family. How many of you are on unemployment and receiving help from the govtmt. At least she is trying to support her family. Also it is hard enough being nice all the time with one child much less 8. Sorry but you people are not perfect!!! Why are you at home laying around watching TV all day. Get a job and the rest of us won’t have to support your unemployement and food stamps plus medical bills.By Jillian

So, all these nutballs who crank out their children in super-multiples are “stars” on TV because they’re just trying to support their kids? Riiight..and I have some beautiful oceanfront land in Iowa to sell you! Don’t think for one minute Kate’s not loving every second of being in front of the cameras. She thinks she’s interesting. She’s not. She and that twit of a husband are showing what they’re really made of, and it’s high time they disappear from the TV and radar screens.By Lauren

It’s impossible for me to say who I can’t stand the most - Elisabeth or this Kate person. I guess I won’t be tuning in, since I wouldn’t walk across the street to see either one.By N.A. Franklin Oh

I admire Kate for being able to do as well as she does raising so many children,I do think at times she is a bit short fused with them but I feel she’s doing an awesome job.I think she was too manipulative with Jon.I can see why they are seperated and getting a divorce but that is between them.I think they both love the children very much and they are doing the best they can to spend time with them and trying to give them the best life dispite their relationship.They are all in my prayers and I hope and pray it works out for the best for all of them especially the children.I am glad she is hosting that show.I like Kate and Jon very much and I love the kids.By Keri

I would like to know how you expect a mother of 8 children keep on a happy face all the time? Furthermore, make her husband feel needed. Granted he may have not wanted to have this many children, but come on he needs to grow up period! This is what’s wrong with society today. Double standards. Men can cheat, but if a woman does it you know what name they call her. Both of them should get off the air and figure something out between themselves before the kids suffer anymore.By Keri

Answer(s): Poke myself in the eye with a sharp stick, let a rabid skunk loose in the house with my dogs, drink milk that has been sitting out on the counter for 2 days past the date. Question: Things I’d rather do than watch The View with Kate Gosselin. Actually with or without her.By You're all nuts!!!

Who would want to watch such an opportunist. Maybe she should take care of her kids. Makes me sickBy linda

Kate is showing some sense, at least she is trying to make some money to help take care of the family. Whiny Jon can’t even get a job, he is to sorry to even try. He is one sorry piece of trash and if the judge has any sense he will give the kids to her,what 22 year is going to help raise 8 kids. He is 32 and didn’t want to do it, he missed being a frigging run around man, well, let him run around, but keep him away from the kids. Good luck Kate, you deserve and if you have found someone else, go for it.By Terri

People are getting on Kate for exploiting her children but they are not the only ones on the show.She is on the show as well airing it all out which takes some guts.People kill me! If you were offered a show about your family that turned out to be successful wouldn’t you have a different standard of living also. People give me a break!! DONT HATE ON KATE!
