Kate Gets New Series ...and Specials

Kate Gosselin may never appear in Playboy, but she will be back on TV…in more ways than one. TLC is planning to air several Kate Plus 8 specials focusing on her family life, and the network is also giving her her own series. Twist of Kate will feature Gosselin as an “example mom,” USA Today reports, failing to explain what exactly she’s supposed to be an example of.

Twist of Kate, which will debut in late summer, will feature Gosselin using her fan letters to profile women facing difficulties. “I want to be out there learning from others, helping to provide insight whenever I can, though I don't consider myself an expert on anything,” she says. As for Kate Plus 8, the first special will air in June and will look at Gosselin’s life as a single mom.
