Kate Gosselin To Star In New TLC's Show 'Twist of Kate'
TLC has announced that Kate Gosselin will be returning to the network with a new series called 'Twist of Kate'. Gosselin will "use fan letters from women inspired by her story as the basis for profiles of women facing their own challenges," according to 'USA Today'. "I look at it as a loose concept," says Gosselin. "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." "The fact that people really support me and want the kids and I to do well is flattering," she says. "I never understood the importance of fans until we struggled and went through tough times." Those core fans have also been able to keep her on ABC's 'Dancing with the Stars' despite horrid performances and withering comments from the show's judges. However, her inclusion on the show has definitely been a boon for ABC. 'Dancing' recently beat out 'Idol' and finished as the most-watched TV show for the first time ever. "She will be in that person's shoes. And more often than not, it's not going to be terribly comfortable for her," explains TLC chief Eileen O'Neill. "She's game for things, but she also has limits and boundaries." 'Twist of Kate' will begin airing with twelve episodes later this summer.
