From US Weekly. Kate wanted Maks for a partner.

In
In the new issue of Us Weekly, a "Dancing with the Stars" insider reveals Kate Gosselin's first choice for pro partner: Maksim Chmerkovskiy. "She wishes she had been partnered with Maks because he's a stronger personality [than Tony Dovolani], and Kate likes a man who takes charge."

A crew source counters: "Kate would have lasted about five minutes with Maks."

What is she famous for please? I don't know her so had no preconceptions.

But I really don't like her from what I have seen on DWTS. I feel a bit sorry for her when she performs, but I think were I Tony I would have decked her by now. Poor cow, does she realise how she comes across I wounder? Is she really always this way?

She's a reality show star (Kate plus 8) - has 8 kids and has cameras following her around all the time. That's her only claim to fame really! I believe she had 2 kids first and then had sextuplets hence the reality show. She's just got divorced and now her ex is trying for custody of the kids.

The reality show that she was on followed her and her family, a set of twins and then sextuplets. The kids are absolutely precious. It showed life with multiples and how every thing has to be planned like an assembly line. Watching them get dressed and get a meal and a bath would wear you out. Kate is very controlling and had to do everything her way and was completely in charge. As they became more famous and got money from the show the relationship strain started to show. There were many scenes where she would belittle her husband and you could witness the marriage raveling. It was like watching a trainwreck and her popularity grew as she became the woman you love to hate.

This is the beginning where they explain how they came to have 8 kids.

Interview where she talks about the judges, her life and DWTS. She looks exhausted.

I knew this would happen. I have been reading that there is some power voting going on. Hopefully the madness will stop when a good dancer goes before she does and people wake up. She is a trainwreck so of course there is an intense interest in seeing what she does next but I would hate the morbid interest in her ruin it for the others who have more talent and personality.

Luckily this guy is not very popular the way. Letterman, Leno and J. Kimmel rule late night.

George Lopez explains. Transcript from Larry King.

KING: Conan O'Brien's the guest from his set. Let's switch to a few hot comedy topics. Kate Gosselin, she is competing on "Dancing With the Stars." What are your thoughts about Kate?

LOPEZ: Larry, I have to tell you, I have never enjoyed anything more than Kate Gosselin dancing on "Dancing With the Stars." I went in person a week ago. It is a train wreck you cannot turn away from. Ketel One -- I don't know why she bothers to train. Ketel One is the secret to her rhythm and her dancing feet you. You think someone with such a talented cervix and hip area could be able to gyrate and keep a rhythm.

KING: You -- you're giving it a thumbs-down.

LOPEZ: No. I'm giving her the thumbs-up. I was on Twitter. I follow you on Twitter, by the way. I'm on Twitter. And I want everybody to vote to keep Kate Gosselin on "Dancing With the Stars." Last night, I watched with my wife, my daughter, the dogs in the bed. It was like a Norman Rockwell painting. Only Kate Gosselin has been able to make that happen in my house. I'm not ready for that to end.

This is turning into John Sergeant Mark II if people are actually being encouraged by the media to vote for her. If he hadn't pulled out who knows what would have happened? I sincerely hope the same thing doesn't happen on DWTS as I doubt she's going to pull out.

I could see her outlasting Niecy and Jake. After that if any of the others go before her there will be a riot. The judges will start getting mean and even CA and Bruno will need to pull out their 3 paddles. The controversy always drives ratings. What would be a victory is if the ratings stay high after she leaves.

They tried that with John Sergeant and all that happened was that a large proportion of the voting public started voting against the judges rather than for a good dancer.

I happened to be flipping channels and saw the new episode of Kate plus 8 where they follow her every move. This was during the time that she was on DWTS and she was complete basket case crying. She would say she wasn't able to sleep and was falling asleep in the limo on the way to practice. Her manager telling she needed to focus and make decisions. Kate was telling him to call Tony to say that she was too tired and needed to sleep. Her schedule was brutal and in the clips of her and Tony he was much more understanding and patient with her than we ever saw in the clips on DWTS.

Adam Carolla challenges Kate Gosselin to a dance-off!

http://www.popeater.com/2010/06/12/a...lin-dance-off/

His humor is dripping with sarcasm and irreverence. Funny if you like like that sort of thing. Imagine him standing before Craig after he did the walk of shame over to the judges table?
