14 DAY TRIAL // Just a short while ago, word had it that Kate Gosselin was still hoping to make a comeback in reality programming, but that no network wanted her anymore. It turns out it was their loss, as she's just landed a new job – hawking coupons.
E! Online reports that the former TLC star, who saw her reality series “Kate Plus 8” canceled earlier this year after a severe drop in ratings, is now the official spokesperson for a website for coupons and deals.
“The Kate Plus 8 star is now blogging about – get ready for it! - coupons! We kid you not. Gosselin has scored a gig at CouponCabin.com,” the e-zine reports.
Not only is the mother of 8 writing frequently about coupons she gets from the website on her blog, but she also speaks about it in the various interviews she still does.
Speaking with E!, Mrs. Gosselin stresses the importance of saving on coupons, especially when you're a single mother of 8 children as she is.
“No matter how much money you have, it's just smart to use coupons.It's like free money in your pocket,” she adds.
“Her first blog post debuts on Nov. 22 about shopping for the holidays. The onetime Dancing With the Stars contestant said she started clipping coupons before she had any of her kids, but the habit definitely took off when she became a mom,” E! Further reports.
“One week, I remember saving more than half my grocery bill that week with coupons.I was beyond thrilled,” Kate gushes.
As we also informed you a while back, rumors had it that Mrs. Gosselin wanted another reality show really bad. Moreover, she believed that being dumped by TLC would see her assaulted with offers from another networks.
When she realized that this wouldn't happen because no other network would work with her because people had lost interest in her, she reportedly became depressed.
The thought that she'd have to get a regular, 9-to-5 job was too much for her to bear, insiders told the US glossies, because she didn't want to ditch her previous lifestyle and because she had gotten accustomed to being a “star.”
