Kate Gosselin opened up to Larry King on Tuesday night about her broken marriage and how she’s coping with the process of separation in the spotlight. The “Jon and Kate Plus 8” star confessed that she feels “lonely” but says that with everything going on in her life, she’s not looking for a new man.
Asked whether she wants to date, the mom of eight said, “No. Too busy. Sorry.” When pressed, she admitted, “I’m lonely, but I’m very busy and, actually, I’m all right.”
Does she ever stress about finding a guy who wants to be with a single mom of eight kids? Laughing, Kate said, “I’m not worried about it.”
Well, after five seasons on TV and an endless stream of tabloid covers, at least she shouldn’t have to worry about that awkward second-date conversation breaking the news.
Chris Brown: Violent Love
Tuesday, Chris Brown was sentenced to five years of probation, as well as hard labor, for the February assault that sent Rihanna to the hospital. (He also has to stay away from his former girlfriend for five years.) But court records reveal that that shocking incident wasn’t the first time the two R&B singers had gotten into a violent confrontation.
Three months earlier, Rihanna reportedly slapped her beau during an argument — and he retaliated by shoving her into a wall. Then, just weeks before their infamous fight, while the couple “were visiting Barbados and were driving a Range Rover loaned to them,” per Chris’s probation review, “they had an argument inside the car. [Chris] exited and broke the front driver and passenger side windows of the car.”
It can’t be comfortable for Rihanna to have these details made public. But let’s hope that hearing her story helps some other woman recognize — and end — a pattern of relationship violence.
Danielle: Seeking Shutterbugs
A certain book about Danielle Staub’s past earned her infamy (think allegations of drug use, crime, and prostitution — you know, the typical skeletons everyone has in the closet), but she’s betting the next one will be a “big hit,” a publishing source tells New York’s Daily News.
In fact, the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” is so confident in her forthcoming memoir’s success, she’s entreating photographers to do the cover for free, with the promise that people will start clamoring to give them work” when it hits.
Adds the insider, “It’s so embarrassing and tacky!”
And you would have expected anything else from Danielle?
Redmond’s Reality
The late Farrah Fawcett’s troubled son, Redmond, is set to star in his own reality show, according to an In Touch magazine source.
Filming will reportedly begin in four months, after Redmond completes a court-ordered intensive drug rehab program.
“Redmond has signed the deal that was brokered for him by his dad,” a pal confides. “Ryan will be on the show, too.”
“Redmond wants to do this to honor his mother. He really wants to get better to honor her memory,” the friend says. “Redmond will be followed by a trainer and a bodyguard who will try to help him get a job and have a real life.”
Why do we suspect that if Ryan is involved, the show will have more to do with exploitation than rehabilitation?
