while jogging near her home.

If you follow Kate Gosselin at all, you probably know she is an avid runner. Her ability to look in great physical shape can be attributed to more than just plastic surgery.

Anytime she is jogging, you will see she is plugged into her iPod and listening to music while jogging. So, what music does she listen too?

According to Kate's Twitter Account, she listens to Pink, Lady Gaga, and Rhianna. She is also known to listen to Christian music on CD.

Kate Gosselin hectic Thanksgiving Day

Kate Gosselin was very busy this recent Thankgiving. Especially with no man in the house. Kate took to Twitter to tell everyone about the things she got done recently around the house - calling it her "Man2do list".

She didn't get into specifics whether she did the actual work or had someone else do it. Hats off though to a lady who can fix her barn/chicken issues, get her tractor running, reinstall a closet door, and get her cable working.

Kate continues to work for CouponCabin.com where she contributes a blog.

While Kate Gosselin had friends and family over, one person noticeably absent was Jon Gosselin. Previously, Kate said Jon would have the children this Thanksgiving. No word on why she had them instead.

Kate Gosselin leaves kids heads to Australia

Kate Gosselin left the kids and headed
to Australia to play zookeeper.

Just four days after starting her new job as a blogger for CouponCabin.com, Kate Gosselin left for Australia - without her children.

The reality mom went to visit Bindi Irwin to celebrate Steve Irwin day in Australia. She was spotted today at the Australia Zoo in Brisbane with the Irwin family.

Kate was dressed up like a zookeeper but with flawless makeup and hair. She didn't look like the average zookeeper.


As of now, she is still in Australia with no know time of when she will be back with her family in Pennsylvania.

Kate Gosselin lands new job

Reality star Kate Gosselin is no longer employed. Kate announced on the E! channel she entered a partnership with couponcabin.com where she will write blog posts about couponing.

Kate maintains she has always been a frugal shopper and used coupons. Her blog will discuss saving money using coupons, mostly grocery coupons.

She made it a point during the interview that her first blog post will appear Nov. 22, which is just in time for the holidays.

Although Kate has no new television or movie projects upcoming, she is staying in constant touch with her followers on Twitter. This week she was mostly discussing her plans to run the upcoming Las Vegas marathon, including what music she plays while running.

Kate Gosselin is clipping coupons

Will Kate Gosselin return to nursing. Kate has concerns
about expenses are her show's cancellation.

Kate Gosseliin was spotted recently using coupons for her purchases at Target and Bed Bath & Beyond.

While shopping in Reading, Pa, Kate Gosselin appeared without any security or wearing makeup. Her recent Twitter posts show she is helping her children, all eight of them, with their homework and complaining she will be up all night.

Kate Gosselin admits she was shocked when TLC announced they were cancelling Kate Plus 8 in September. However, Kate believes she will still get another reality show starring the children. As Kate puts it, "There is still much interest in the children and many people still want to see the kids".

Kate continues to deny that she is returning to nursing even after taking refresher courses and renewing her nursing license. Kate did take some jabs in the press about ex Jon Gosselin working a regular job.

Will Kate Gosselin get a real job?

It happens. When a person becomes a reality star and then their star stars to dim.

Kate Gosselin was a star in the reality world with Jon and Kate Plus 8 and then later Kate Plus 8. There was a lot of drama when Kate and Jon Gosselin announced to the world they would be getting a divorce. There was even more drama when that divorce turned ugly. We had Jon saying he didn't want the kids on television, Kate taking Jon to court for child support, Jon trying to find a new reality show, and finally Jon Gosselin saying he had enough.

Jon then went back to private life and found a new job in the construction industry. So, is it now Kate Gosselin's turn to find a new job?

Kate has reportedly renewed her nursing license. She has denied she is going back to nursing. It is common for people to renew their nursing license even if they have no current plans on working in the industry due to how hard it would be to get back if they let it expire.

Kate Gosselin has to be feeling something since her show Kate Plus 8 was cancelled by TLC. However, that hasn't stopped Gosseling from hoping for a new gig in reality television. Kate did shop an idea for the kids to have a show similar to Hannah Montana or Zooey to Disney, but Disney doesn't seem interested.

Kate Gosselin isn't the first reality star to realize her celebrity days are over. How can we forget Heidi and Spencer who once were constant tabloid material and masters of pulling PR stunts to get in the news. They are now bankrupt and living with Spencer's parents.

It would be hard to believe Kate Gosselin may go bankrupt but that nursing license may really help out in the near future.

Kate Gosselin wants kids to be next Miley Cyrus

Kate Gosselin wants to get back on television badly. With the recent cancellation of Kate Plus 8 on TLC, Kate has been desperately pitching new show ideas to networks.

Her most recent pitch idea was to Disney where the eldest daughter, Mady, would star in a show similar to Hanna Montana. The only problem is that Mady isn't a singer, actress, or dancer. Disney has not responded on commented on the idea, but Disney people reportedly don't want anything to do with Kate or the children.

Kate also has another idea for a show where she is a stage mother and the cameras follow her and the children around as they try to land another show.

Reality television insiders say it will be hard for Kate Gosselin to come up with another show as she has become more irrelevant and the landscape of reality tv is constantly changing.

Well, best of luck Kate. We know having eight kids isn't cheap.

Kate Plus 8 Cancelled

Yes. It's a sad day. TLC has announced they will not renewing Kate Plus 8 for another season.

TLC has released this announcement, ""TLC has decided not to renew another season of 'Kate Plus 8. By the end of this season, 'Kate Plus 8' will have hit the 150 episode mark (including "Jon & Kate Plus 8"); an exceptional milestone."

Although, we may see Kate Gosselin and the kids in the future as TLC said they will stop in to see Kate and the kids periodically for specials.

One person who is relieved to see the show end is ex-husband Jon Gosselin. Jon reportedly said he is glad the children will be "getting away from the camera" yet still wished Kate the best in her "career choices".

Kate Gosselin Can't Trust Men

Kate Gosselin has been tweeting up a storm lately. In a recent tweet, Kate commented about why she hasn't found a new boyfriend.

“Would like to have another adult here tho at some point! Kids long for it too, I’m not in a spot to be good at trust … I get what you are saying tho. Its why I’m still just little me! All alone! Can’t trust!”

Kate also commented on keeping in touch with other people she has met in her celebrity circle. She commented on not really seeing much of including Tony Dovolani, her Dancing With the Stars dance partner.

She believes it's just because "everyone is just really busy".

Kate also tweeted recently that she "is proud of the children" for their ability to cope with life in general - including the TV show and adjusting to school.

Kate Gosselin's Kids Want a Daddy

Is Kate looking to date for the sake of her children? The children have recently voiced their interest in "having a daddy at home". It won't exactly be easy for Kate to find a man looking to help raise 8 children, but Kate believes its possible.

The one thing Kate has become used to is being in charge. She reportedly felt that way even when Jon Gosselin was still married to her. It is her who decides what the children should be doing, what to cook, and scheduling her brood and herself in private life as well as their reality tv world.

While ex Jon Gosselin lives a pretty much private life with his girlfriend, Kate has continued on with her show Kate Plus 8 and well as doing other showbiz related stuff like interviews and shows like Dancing with The Stars.

Kate just recently tweeted that her little girls are big fans of Taylor Swift and they attended a concert. Kate believes Taylor Swift is a great role model for her girls and someone she can really relate to.


 

Kate Gosselin: Dont Call Me a Bitch

Reality TV star Kate Gosselin recently sat down with Rob Shutter of the The Huffington Post to be interviewed. During the interview, Kate acknowledged that critics may think of her as a "money hungry bitch" but that is not the case.

Kate also said friends of her "can't take it" because of what is said and printed about her. Even though she tells them to ignore and it and don't read it, they still get angry or concerned.

Kate Gosselin wanted to make it clear she is not a bitch, but a "driven, hard working, type A, personality that is a perfectionist." Perhaps, that is where people are mistaking her for a money hungry bitch driven solely by money.

She then goes on that she "loves to meet new people." Also, when they meet her, they change their opinion of her "100% of the time."

Kate Gosselin warns children of messes

On the June 27th episode of Kate Plus 8, Kate warned the children, "Im not into messes". She then proceeded to tell them that if anything gets spilled they will pick every piece of flour or sugar off the floor - and "you know I mean that", she stressed.

Kate decided it would be good for her and the kids to make cookies and muffins and drop them off where she previously worked. The facility is a kidney dialysis center outside Reading, PA.

No word on how the the muffins or cookies tasted or if the patients enjoyed them.

Kate Gosslein shows off Sports Bra Talks to Jon

To help celebrate July 4th, Kate Gosselin took a run outside West Reading, PA. She did stand out wearing a bright pink sports bra.

Later on Monday, Kate also talked to Jon Gosselin as he dropped the kids back off. Jon has been laying low media wise compared to Kate. Jon now works construction installing solar panels for a Pennsylvania company.

With Jon taking the kids this holiday weekend, Kate enjoyed some free time and did some things she likes to do. Besides the jogging, Kate was tweeting away with fans on twitter. It seems a large number of Kate Plus 8 fans are Canadian as Kate wished her friends in Canada a happy "Canada Day".

They also learn about the Liberty Bell, the kids get to pretend to be sworn in as President, and then everyone takes in a Philadelphia Flyers hockey game.

Philadelphia isn't that far from where the children live. It's approximately an hour away. A lot closer than a trip to Australia.

Kate Gosselin calls New Zealand a nightmare

Kate Gosselin is not happy with her
recent trip to New Zealand

If you watched some recent episodes of Kate Plus 8, you got to see Kate Gosselin and the children vacationing in New Zealand. Well, that is probably the last time you will see Kate and the children visiting New Zealand.

Kate reportedly called the whole experience a nightmare, mostly due to the paparazzi constantly following and photographing her and the children. When, Kate and the children were visiting the zoo, she wanted the paparazzi removed from the zoo. That didn't happen as she was informed that since they paid admission to the zoo, they could not be made to leave simply because they were taking photos.

Kate also reportedly was not happy with her accommodations at the hotel and lacked any sense of humor. When the zoologist, at the zoo, made a funny comment about "men always being right" Kate gave him a dirty look while the rest of the crowd laughed.

On an episode of Kate Plus 8 she refers to the same zoologist as "Mr. Kiwi Man". Kate couldn't believe she had to endure "the same struggles half-way around the world just like at home", referring to the paparazzi. Kate could always get a real job like Jon Gosselin and that would soon end the paparazzi following her.

Kate Gosselin staying low key with kids

Kate Gosselin and the kids at the bus stop

Kate Gosselin has been living a low-key life lately with the kids near Reading, PA. She was spotted this week doing her motherly duties of getting the kids off to school. While taking the kids to the bus stop she was chatting it up with other mothers while waiting for the bus.

Is this a new Kate? Is she learning a lesson from ex Jon Gosselin? Will Kate have to soon buy bad chinese products from Walmart? Jon Gosselin is working a construction job near Reading and reportedly is glad to be out of the spotlight.

The recent rating for Kate Plus 8 have been sliding lately. The last show fell below the 1 million viewer mark and Kate Gosselin is reportedly worried her days of being a celebrity may be over. TLC has not issued any statements lately regarding the future of Kate Plus 8. They did say before the season opener they would "pull out all the stops" to make the show a success this season.

It would certainly be a big boost to the ratings if Jon Gosselin would appear for an episode or two. Currently, no plans are on the table or if Jon would even have any interest in doing any television.

Mondays Kate Plus 8 Falls in Ratings

Kate Gosselin is getting worried as ratings
continue to slide for Kate Plus 8.

This past Monday's episode of Kate Plus 8 slid in the ratings. Monday's episode also fell below 1 million viewers, which is what Kate Gosselin and TLC were worried about. To understand what this means we can compare it to past episodes.

Going back to when it was Jon and Kate Plus 8, the shows easily averages 3 to 4 million viewers. When Jon and Kate announced they were divorcing, the show set records with 10 million viewers. After Jon Gosselin was no longer a part of the show, ratings slid.

This season, TLC said they would pull out all the stops to make Kate Plus 8 a success. Kate Gosselin has also doing a lot lately to promote the show and stay in the news. Lately, Kate Gosselin has been talking a lot about finding a new man - someone that is compatible for her. Including such things as they must "be Superman" in order to be in her life. Is this all about ratings? We will just have to wait and see.

 

Kate Gosselin and children hounded by paparazzi

Poor Kate Gosselin and her children were recently harassed as they tried to visit a New Zealand zoo.

A couple of paps from New Zealand learned of Kate and the children being present at the zoo. They then proceeded to hound not only Kate, but also the children. This led to a scuffle between a producer of Kate Plus 8 and the rowdy paps.

Of course, this was all caught on film and aired on last night's April 18th episode of Kate Plus 8. No one seems to be able to know how the paps knew she was there. Kate acted very surprised that the paparazzi would follow her all the way to New Zealand. Is this legitimate or just more scripted reality television in an effort to raise the ratings? What are your thoughts of the latest episode of Kate Plus 8?

Here is some video from the recent Kate Plus 8 episode where the family vacationed in Australia. Watch as Kate Gosselin feeds a crocodile. As you might imagine, Kate is a little nervous but is accompanied by an experienced handler as she feeds the adorable little critter.

Kate admits the crocodile is gorgeous and then she proceeds to ask the handler for a hug.

While attempting to shop Saturday, Kate Gosselin got stuck in her car at a local grocery store. Kate's vehicle is push start but still needs a key and Kate couldn't find it. Not only that, she also couldn't open the doors to the car to get out.

She was able to tweet where she said, "only good part. grocery store parking lot with paps". Kate has recently turned to Twitter to show a more personal side.

The next episode of Kate Plus Eight is Monday night.

Kate Gosselin reportedly has told a close friend of her's what she is seeking in a new man. Jon and Kate Gosselin both agree they have no interest in getting back together. Jon is happily in love with his new girlfriend, Ellen Ross. Now Kate Gosselin is looking for love also.

Kate says she wants a man who has the following qualities: patient, wise, persistent, understanding, seasoned, funny, honest, motivated.

Kate didn't say anything about liking children. Of course, liking children would have to be a given. Are there any men out there looking to start a family with eight children? Only time will tell.

Kate is also aware of men who may try to use her for her fame and money. Any possible man will have to be personally financially secure himself.

Kate Plus 8 Ratings In Hold Steady

Kate Gosselin may be letting out a few deep breaths. The ratings are in for the season premiere of Kate Plus 8. The show pulled in around 1.3 million viewers. It may not be the 10 million viewers that tuned in when Jon and Kate Gosselin announced they were divorcing, but it is nearly equal to the last special in numbers.

If the number of viewers continue to stay steady, the show could benefit if it shows it has loyal viewers that tune in each week. Many felt that if the numbers drop below 1 million an episode this season, then it might be the last season of Kate Plus 8. So far so good.

Jon and Kate Plus Ei8ht: Season Three

Kate Gosselin worries about getting a real job

With the season premiere of Kate Plus 8, we know of one person holding her breath - Kate Gosselin. Friends of the reality star say Kate is worried that if this season of Kate Plus 8 doesn't do well she have to save goodbye to her celebrity career.

The initial episode of Kate Plus 8 drew over 3 million viewers and then slid to a little over 2 million by the second episode last year. TLC insiders say that if the episodes drop to below 1 million this may be the last season. Kate Gosselin isn't ready to settle into any average, regular job at the moment like her husband.

Jon Gosselin is reportedly happy working construction and being in a relationship with his current love, Ellen Ross.

TLC is reportedly trying to pull out all the stops to make Kate Plus 8 a success. They are trying to show Kate in a different light and have her and the children do new and interesting things. The debut will show Kate and the kids camping - this time without Sarah Palin. Kate and the children seem to be having a better time compared to when they were camping with the Palin family.

Kate Plus 8 Sneak Preview

Tomorrow will be the season premiere of Kate Plus 8. In the season opener, the family is vacationing in beautiful Australia.

Here is the trailer which gives a sneak peak of the episode set to debut tomorrow night on TLC.

Kate Gosselin misses Jon hopes for phone call

Jon Gosselin in his construction overalls

According to OK Magazine, Kate Gosselin misses her ex Jon Gosselin more than ever. Friends report that Kate is lost - professionally and personally - with Jon Gosselin in her life.

Sources say she still hopes for a phone call from her ex where "the old Jon will be back". Kate is starting to feel the pressure of single motherhood with eight children along with her show Kate Plus 8 turning in lackluster numbers.

After her divorce, and the renaming of Jon and Kate Plus 8 to Kate Plus 8, the show lured in over 3 million viewers on his debut. That number has sharply decreased by over 50 percent to around 1.5 million viewers.

It seems once Jon was out of the picture - and no couple drama - viewers tuned out. The show was now just Kate Gosselin and her eight children doing things and traveling places, like Alaska for example, which apparently isn't too interesting to viewers.

This season's premiere on April 4th will show the family, minus Jon, on vacation in Australia. They will be doing a variety of fun things like checking out local stores and shops, going to the beach, and Kate gets to show off her bikini body.

The notion of Kate and Jon Gosselin getting back together are not very realistic. Jon is now working in construction and is in love with Ellen Ross, his girlfriend.

Kate Gosselin No More Children

Kate Gosselin has confirmed she will have no more children. "I have eight, I don't need nine", Gosselin has told friends. This is something most will agree on with Kate.

The reason she made the statement was due to her recent dating. If she becomes serious with a man she realizes that he may want to have children - you know, his own. Kate has been making it clear that more children are out of the question.

Can anyone blame Kate? Its hard enough now to get on a jet and do some shopping in NYC or go out to any clubs. We all know that more children will mean more nannies. More nannies means more money. Why spend money on nannies when you can buy expensive shoes and black cocktail dresses.

We will be seeing a lot more of Kate Gosselin as her show Kate Plus 8 kicks off on April 4th.

Kate Gosselin takes kids to dentist

"So, who wants to see the dentist first?"

Yesterday, Kate Gosselin was a hands on mother and took all eight children to the dentist. It's good to see Kate cares about the children's teeth. Did she get to look throught a magazine or two? That isn't known.

What is known is that the children got a passing grade in cavity prevention. I imagine that was one tired dentist after seeing all eight Gosselin children.


Kate wasn't alone though. She had her nannies, the housekeeper, and the bodyguard all along for the ride. She even did a little mini-jog outside the the dentist's office. Why? No one really knows. The nannies saw the children through their oral inspections.

Cameras were there and footage was shot, so this trip will probably be included in an upcoming episode of Kate Plus 8.

Kate Gosselin buys some new shoes

Kate Gosselin really treated herself well over the past weekend. First, she had her early birthday party at the trendy STK, where she also chatted up a few men. The weekend was followed by a nice shopping trip to FAO Schwarz.

So, what were some of the things Kate bought? How about 3 new pairs of shoes. The 3 pairs set her back $325, but Kate thinks she needs to revamp her wardrobe. Besides possibly looking to date again, Kate has been on a media blitz and will probably continue to do so up to April 4th when the show Kate Plus 8 starts a new season.

For those wondering where the kids were, they were being cared for by a nanny. Jon Gosselin was not watching the children as some people have reported. No word on why Jon didn't have custody of the children. Kate and Jon Gosselin have both stated they are being civil towards each other for the sake of the children.

Cameras were also rolling when Kate was partying at STK so this footage may wind up on Kate Plus 8 this upcoming season.

Kate Gosselin dating again?

We all know by now that Kate Gosselin was celebrating her birthday a little early this past weekend. What wasn't known until now is that Kate is also looking to date some men.

When Kate was partying at STK, she had a camera crew and chatted up a number of men in the club. Was she doing this because she truly is interested in a new love or is it just for her show Kate Plus 8. Kate was dolled up and looking fit and tone in a tight black mini dress. Her smile showing for the cameras and paps and a few select men in the club.

Kate Gosselin strutting her stuff at STK

Kate hasn't been linked to anyone since her split and divorce from Jon Gosselin. Although rumors of a relationship with bodyguard, Steve Neild, have been thrown around since the early rumblings of divorce, neither Kate Gosselin or Neild have confirmed it. Jon Gosselin was suspicious of their relationship and accused Kate of cheating.

It is possible Kate had the crew film her for an upcoming episode of Kate Plus 8, which starts April 4th.

Will Kate Gosselin celebrate her birthday at home

Considering that Kate Gosselin celebrated her birthday 10 days early this past friday, will she celebrate it at home? On friday, Kate celebrated her 36th birthday party at the trendy STK in New York City.

STK is one of the top night spots in NYC where a steak dinner can set you back $80 easily. All of Kate's guests arrived in a stretch limousine. She and her guests were all smiles for the paps as the cameras flashed.

Kate Gosselin looked in great shape and quite tone as she wore a black mini dress that showed off her curves. Bodyguard Steve Neild was close by Kate the whole night. Is Kate out courting the press as Kate Plus 8 is set to debut on April 4th? Maybe. The question is, "Will Kate celebrate her birthday on March 28 at home with the kids?

If she does lets hope Kate doesn't let Jon get the cake.

Expect to see much more of Kate Gosselin as Kate Plus 8 premieres April 4th. The second season starts  with Kate and the kids vacationing in Australia.

Kate Gosselin swimming with the sharks in season premiere

Kate relaxing and showing her bikini body

Kate Plus 8 returns April 4th. On the season premiere the Gosselins, minus dad Jon Gosselin, take a vacation in Australia.

On the episode, we get to see what it's like for the family as they take their longest plane trip yet. What really stands out in the episode is we get to see Kate Gosselin swim with sharks in the freezing cold ocean. Any fan should know Kate isn't exactly the outdoor type. Yet, on the show we get to see her and the kids do some more camping.

Kate and the kids also spend plenty of time at the beach and take in the local culture. They also spend time with Australian Aboriginals - learning their way of life and their customs.

This episode was filmed late last year and also shows Kate and the kids celebrating New Year's in Australian fashion.

It's also interesting to see Kate show off her bikini body which is looking like she put a lot of work into her fitness routine and diet.

Jon & Kate in 2011

Jon & Kate will continue to live their lives just like anyone else in 2011. While Jon Gosselin continues working a regular job and is happy to be out of the spotlight, Kate Gosselin continues to work in the celebrity spotlight.

Kate Gosselin and the children will continue with their hit show Kate Plus 8 on TLC and has some other projects lined up for 2011. She has currently accepted a role on the show, The Vampire Diaries.

It wouldn't be out of the question for Kate and the kids to make another appearance on Sarah Palin's Alaska if TLC believes they can get ratings up. Sources in TLC say this may be the final season of Kate Plus 8.

Viewership has declined since the split with Jon Gosselin. Although, recent rumors speculated that Kate and Jon were possibly getting back together, people speaking on behalf of both parties say they have no interest in getting back together. They will continue to act civilly for the sake of the children and speak positively of each other.

Kate Gosselin demands police escort in Tennessee

Kate and her brood of 8 recently took a trip to Tennessee to shoot some scenes for their show, Kate Plus 8.
It seems however that once the plane landed Kate Gosselin made "quite the scene" at the airport.

Reportedly, Kate wanted the cops to escort her and the children to her hotel to avoid dealing with the paps nearby. The cops did escort her through the parking lot and that was all.

What was Kate in Tennessee for? Well, she was shooting scenes for the show where her and the children hosted a food collection drive at a local grocery store in Blountville, TN.

Locals said she was acting like a big diva the whole time. Well, except when the cameras were rolling for the food collection. At that point, no diva was shown.

Kate and the children were not seen with any bodyguards during their short stay.

Kate Plus 8 to Return April 4th

Kate Plus 8 will make a return to television on April 4th according to TLC. Despite reports that the show has fallen out of favor with TLC, it was announced a new hour long special will debut on April 4th.

The hour long special will follow Kate and her 8 children during a recent vacation to Australia. The trailer teases, "will Kate and the kids sleep outside?" Obviously, a reference to a prior outdoor experience where Kate wasn't quite comfortable sleeping in the great outdoors.

During the episode, we will see the kids and Kate on the beach and swimming with sharks. Kate Gosselin's last appearance in a television series was during the Sarah Palin's Alaska where she refused to enjoy moose meat hotdogs.

Kate Gosselin defends Kate Plus 8 Helped Children

Kate Gosselin recently defended her reality show, Kate Plus 8. She cited that she really believes it has helped her children "become more well rounded" as well as giving them life experiences they otherwise would not have experienced.

Kate also proclaimed she did not believe her show caused her divorce from Jon Gosselin. She also will not comment on her husband in a negative light because he is the father of her children and believes it hurts the children when she does so.

Despite the children having some behavioral problems lately, Kate proclaimed she is proud of all her children and will continue with the show because she believes it benefits the children.

Although recent reports suggested that Jon and Kate Gosselin were thinking of getting back together, those close to Kate report this is absolutely false.

Sources close to Jon Gosselin also report the rumor is false and may be due to both Kate and Jon acting in a civil manner due to the children.

Kate is still officially single and has said she doesn't want to rush into a relationship. Also, Kate Gosselin's goals in life are also much different than Jon's - who is now working a regular job in construction.

Kate has said she loves the spotlight and intends to stay in it in some fashion. Kate has also been reportedly training for a marathon that she jokes comes in handy when "running from the paps".
