There were a few guests in consideration that didn’t quite make the cut. One guest was Sandra Bernhard, the very famous comedian since the 80’s. The other guest was Tammy Lee Michaels who is a recurring actress on the show the L Word. I take issue with the similarities with these two women. Both women have made it publicly known that they are lesbians. Sandra is a Gay and Lesbian rights activist and Tammy Lynn’s partner is Melissa Etheridge. Considering what these two women have in common, I hope that is not the reason why they were discounted from the show. The show has been designed for Kate Gosselin, Paula Deen and guests to give a mix of advice, health, and beauty tips. I am sure someone of a Lesbian orientation can who is a mother can help give the same advice. I hope I am wrong on my hunch.

Now there have been confirmation that Rene Syler and Lee Woodruff have joined the show. The very first guest of Kate and Paula is Mel B. If you are wondering who Mel B is, she was the one who had the paternity suit with Ed Murphy. She is a perfect choice for Kate’s first guest. They both have experience dealing with immature men, and very public break-ups. Now rumor has it that Kate and Paula wanted Christie Brinkley to be thier very first guest, but she very kindly declined. There was no reason given. Stay tuned to find out when we can expect to see her show finally air to the public.

There is one big difference with one of the shows she was on vs the others. On the View she was a co-host. Yes, you read it right, a co-host. Going on the View as a co-host is a high honor that is usually given to celebrities. I am sorry. I have a real issue calling her a celebrity. She is a reality TV personality in my opinion. However, there are a lot of people who feel differently. Differently enough to give her a Talk Show.

According to the rumors that are circling around the celebrity circuit, is the same media group that gave Ellen DeGeneres and Tyra Banks their talk shows is working out a deal to give Kate her own talk show. She would be alongside Paula Deen. I can’t get over that Paula Deen would run second to Kate, but so far that is how it is being set up, according to the rumors. Now I am sure there will be a lot of changes before they put anything in stone. Rumor also has it that this same media group is looking for women to cast for the show to work with her. The women have to be moms. Reason being, is that Kate wants to have a show that focuses on being a Mom. She feels as though there isn’t any shows currently that really deals with that issue as the main focus of the show.

The upside to her having this show would mean alleviating the need for having the kids around on television for her main source of income. The kids would finally have a chance at a normal life. This news will make many concerned viewers very happy.

The down side that also has to be taken in consideration is, what will happen with the kids when Mommy is busy with her show and Daddy is in NY pretending to be Hugh Hefner? At least with the dysfunctional life style they have now, the kids get to see Mommy and Daddy when it’s time to tape an episode. Any other time, Mommy is out doing her thing, either traveling, going to salons for pampering, or busy writing books. Unfortunately, the world knows what and who Daddy’s doing. Daddy as it is barely can muster up enough energy (probably due to a hangover) to play with the kids when it comes time for taping the show. But as we all know, he has enough energy to complain to the media that Kate gets all of the air time and that she always gets her way. Wait a minute, is Kate getting her way again, Jon? Wasn’t it just weeks ago Jon was throwing a temper tantrum that he couldn’t have a show about divorced Dads? Wonder what ever happened with that? If I remember correctly, he said that it had something to do with the network TLC and that according to his contract, he couldn’t go on other networks or something like that. But yet Kate is featured everywhere and is in the works to get her own show. I think someone was trying not to bruise his ego.

You have to be poised, intelligent, and calm to offered what Kate has been offered. Something that Jon has not displayed in past behavior. In my own personal opinion, I think Kate gets more professional air time than Jon because she is not out at bars doing body shots, dating and cheating on everyone she can, and running away from her kids to Paris for a “love” vacation. Then asking for a show about how to be divorced all the while complaining to the media about the your spouse. There are enough reality shows with boozing, sleaze, and dysfunction in it. Maybe he should approach VH1 about doing a dating show for him. That is more like his life style now. She also didn’t display multiple personality syndrome by yelling at the Paparazzi to leave them alone and then complain that she isn’t getting enough media time.

The question still remains. Is Kate going to be accepted by the public if she goes ahead with this adventure? Based on polls taken by several Internet sites, People watched the show to see the drama unfold, not because they exactly liked either one. In fact, it has been made clear that Kate is known to be the witch with 8 kids. But people have been known to express one opinion about something, but when the media waves their magical wand, people are instantly persuaded to change their mind. Advertising is so popular and expensive because it works. It definitely influences the public. The public has already been influenced by her new hair style. What would be funny is, since Kate done so “well” on the Kelly and Regis Show, maybe Kelly Rippa will be a co-hosting mom on her show. They are doing casting calls, so make it known who you want to see represent this show with Kate Gosselin.
