Kate Gosselin makes half a million for Dancing with the Stars

 


 

Kate Gosselin didn't do much for the art of dancing this season on Dancing with the Stars, but she did make a lot of money. Half a million dollars, in fact, according to Popeater.

Each person on the show reportedly gets $100,000 an episode -- hence why we see former A listers who have lately slipped in the TVQ ratings, making them B or C listers on Dancing with the Stars, happy to enlist in more ways thank just dancing.

But back to Kate. Since this famous mom danced (or what was called dance), the reality maven moved $500,000 into her bank account for the effort.

The problem with me and this sum of money is that I didn't see Kate make the effort. From what was gleaned while watching this season was a lot of grumbling about having to practice, getting mad at what Tony Dovolani instructed her to do -- eventually causing the dancing pro to walk out at one point in sheer frustration, and talking a lot about spending time with the kids without actually spending time with the kids.

Someone wrote to me that Kate Gosselin is a media glutton (not in those words, they were stronger). I am not sure if that's totally true, but it's seems a bit much that in DWTS 2010 Kate Gosselin made half a million for a stint on the popular show, without actually Dancing with the Stars, if you get my drift. What do you think? Thanks for weighing in.

Side note, Jon has a new girlfriend?

So she makes half a million for dancing horribly.
This is so depressing

$100,000 an episode. no wonder sarah Ferguson wants to do it. broke ass bitch.
quote_me_once 26th-May-2010 01:13 am (UTC)
i should have known they would get paid to do this.
so_chic_doll 26th-May-2010 02:04 am (UTC)
It would be less disgusting if at least a portion of the money went towards a charity.

If they're already "stars" then they shouldn't need that type of cash.

exactly most people don't make that much in a year. =(
piratesswoop 26th-May-2010 01:14 am (UTC)
slightly O/T but how is it even fair that that bitch from the pussycat dolls is allowed to compete on this show?
runningwild 26th-May-2010 01:24 am (UTC)
It isn't fair.
dasvedanyaanya 26th-May-2010 01:25 am (UTC)
yea, Idg that.
vintage_boom 26th-May-2010 01:27 am (UTC)
I've been saying this since i heard she was going to be on the show. SO FUCKING UNFAIR
pinkhearts41 26th-May-2010 01:28 am (UTC)
Because there have been tons of people with dance experience on the show before. Erin took ballet but everyone seems to ignore that.
frenchverbs 26th-May-2010 01:42 am (UTC)
I think it's unfair that anyone with actual dance experience is allowed to compete with people who have never practiced dance. I mean, no shit Nicole ended up in the top two when she's competing against people with no rhythm like Kate Gosselin and Buzz Aldrin.
psychicherz 26th-May-2010 01:47 am (UTC)
Yeah Evan's taken ballet, too.
schoolisuncool 26th-May-2010 02:17 am (UTC)
not only that, she was on the university of florida dance team, I cannot believe they failed to mention that all season while Nicole has taken all the flack for being the experienced dancer
insaynejayne 26th-May-2010 01:46 am (UTC)
Right?
so_chic_doll 26th-May-2010 02:05 am (UTC)
Yeah there have been a few people who have had dance backgrounds on the show... even the figure skaters have dance experience, because they have to learn ballet & crap for it.

They're always the ones who end up in the top too.
juiiicybabe 26th-May-2010 07:43 am (UTC)
i already knew she was going to win. poor evan bb :(
shanny_w 26th-May-2010 01:16 am (UTC)
FML I wish I could FAIL DANCE for that kind of scratch. The lady who lived in a shoe never got deals like this.
mysticmaestoso 26th-May-2010 01:16 am (UTC)
Disgusting.
baboona 26th-May-2010 01:17 am (UTC)
ALL SHE DID WAS WALK AROUND

THIS BITCH
exhumedpotato 26th-May-2010 01:18 am (UTC)
I want to see Jon's face when he reads this.
oohasparklie 26th-May-2010 01:18 am (UTC)
Meanwhile those of us actually doing something of worth get shit for it. Our culture sucks.
parmarakis 26th-May-2010 01:26 am (UTC)
I agree. Sadly, you're so right.
bombardamaxima 26th-May-2010 01:19 am (UTC)
Um she has 8 kids to support plus a deadbeat ex so i don't see how anyone could complain about this.
piratesswoop 26th-May-2010 01:20 am (UTC)
lol
baboona 26th-May-2010 01:21 am (UTC)
I'm sure TLC took care of that a while ago
superhetoric 26th-May-2010 01:32 am (UTC)
yeah when you're living frugal the most logical thing to do is to buy a multimillion dollar house in a region with little-to-no resale opportunities.
itjustwontstop 26th-May-2010 01:50 am (UTC)
.....you mean the house thats actually big enough for her entire family in the middle of bumfuck nowhere, where houses are super cheap? riiiiiiiiiight.

as much as i dislike kate, that house was one of the best decisions she ever made.

welcome_to_1984 26th-May-2010 04:37 am (UTC)
...and money to support her hair extensions...
juiiicybabe 26th-May-2010 07:45 am (UTC)
don't forget to support a weekly tan, manicure, hair extensions, shopping trips, nannies while shes out doing these things, etc. but its ok she has 8 kids tho......
conveythemelody 26th-May-2010 01:22 am (UTC)
well this is annoying.
baglady25 26th-May-2010 01:22 am (UTC)
LMAO that picture. That dance was so bad.
tyrapocalypse 26th-May-2010 01:23 am (UTC)
Why the fuck am I going to college to prepare myself for some entry-level science job when I can be a bitch of a mom with a reality show, eight kids, and a messy divorce - AND GET PAID AT THE SAME TIME?
damndavestfu 26th-May-2010 01:47 am (UTC)
do you really want 8 kids and a messy divorce!! ~grass is always greener~
psychicherz 26th-May-2010 01:48 am (UTC)
BUT, would it be worth several years of fucking Jon Gosselin.

I just think about it like that & the envy is GONE.
tyrapocalypse 26th-May-2010 01:53 am (UTC)
Ugh yeah. Good point!
kayteanese 26th-May-2010 01:25 am (UTC)
That bitch needs her mouth and minge plugged for good.
lout_rampage 26th-May-2010 02:43 am (UTC)
Minge!
kayteanese 26th-May-2010 03:36 am (UTC)
Such a beautiful, poetic word, isn't it?
