Kate Gosselin - Page 2

With a title as hungry for attention as “Strange Sex,” the temptation is to go for the cheap joke, such as “Oh, you mean sex with your spouse? (Rim-shot!)”

But like HBO’s “Real Sex,” this TLC series — which originated as a special on Discovery Health, is a fairly straightforward, non-sniggering look at unorthodox tastes, conditions and couplings, rather clinically told in half-hour installments. The strange part, in fact, is that the network of Kate Gosselin exercised this much restraint.

The only slightly crass part, actually, involves the episode titles, like “Unusual Orgasms” and “Cougars and Cubs.” The latter looks at May (or maybe March)-December romance, following 73-year-old Hottie — who has experience with many much-younger lovers — as she prepares for a date with 33-year-old Ron.

Additional stories center on a man with “sexual anorexia” and a woman who claims she can achieve orgasm without any physical contact — having transformed herself into a sex educator who teaches people to achieve it “without genital touch or stimulation,” or “think off.”

Interviewing the subjects as well as medical experts, the segments are handled in a journalistic, mostly nonjudgmental way (“atypical,” they’re called), even if the participants are clearly viewed as objects of curiosity.

As with “Real Sex,” there’s less glamor or titillation in these initial episodes than a desire to present the out-of-the-ordinary, in the way a “National Geographic” special might look at tree frogs. TLC has nevertheless scheduled the show at 10 p.m. with a conspicuous viewer-advisory disclaimer at the outset, which will probably leave those reeled in by the title more disappointed than anything else.

Granted, people with various fetishes and preferences might not relish being compared to tree frogs, but hey, if you don’t like it, think off.

Old fatties humping each other with various objects — sounds like “tune in” TV to me.

Kate Gosselin Says, ‘I’m a Fantastic Catch’

Allie @ Gone Hollywood

Is Kate Gosselin finally “single and ready to mingle”? Well, the mom of eight children is confident she will find Mr. Right … very soon. After all, what’s not to like about Kate?

“Kate’s confidence is amazing,” an insider tells me. “She thinks she is a fantastic catch. Not only does she think she has never looked better, Kate also now has a ton of money. As far as she’s concerned, there is nothing not to like. She’s beautiful, rich and thinks of herself as very easy to get along with.”

Kate Gosselin Says, 'I'm a Fantastic Catch'

Between looking after her eight children and taping her two shows, Kate doesn’t have the time to go out and meet guys. Even if she did, sources tell me Kate has no girlfriends with whom she could hit up the local bars and clubs. Instead the only place Kate does meets new men is when she’s doing media interviews to promote her show.

“Kate is constantly flirting with all the hot male reporters she meets,” a producer tells me. “She has a sparkle in her eye and gets all giddy when she’s bossing reporters around. At first, we thought she was happy because she was talking about herself. Then we realized she was looking for a date.”

Beth Feldman, founder of RoleMommy.com and the author of ‘See Mom Run’ explains, “Some single moms are so busy taking care of their kids’ schedules and juggling work that the prospect of dating just doesn’t fit into their hectic lives. Plus, if you haven’t taken time for yourself in a long while then you might be feeling self-conscious about getting back into the dating scene in the first place. However, Kate Gosselin has the benefit of childcare and an income that affords her the luxury of taking time for herself. Plus, since Jon is still in the picture, he can take the kids while she heads out on a hot date.”

Note to all single male reporters. Be careful. You have been warned.

In other news, a Pennsylvania state lawmaker is questioning the legality of work permits issued to Kate Gosselin’s sextuplets for the reality show “Kate Plus 8.”

Rep. Thomas Murt says state law allows children under 7 to work in movies, but not television. Gosselin’s sextuplets are 6.

Murt asked for an explanation in letters sent Tuesday to the state attorney general and labor secretary.

State labor officials said previously that TV producers should have obtained child work permits for the TLC show’s predecessor, “Jon & Kate Plus 8.” But no penalties were imposed.

Spokesmen for the attorney general’s office and labor secretary did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
