The saga of Kate Gosselin, former husband Jon and their oversized brood of eight wraps up tonight- the TLC chapter at least- and the former Mr. Kate has read his ex-wife’s recent, frantic public rants about caring for the kids- and has a bit of advice for her.

Kate has said (although she purchased a new Audi coupe) that she worries about her family’s immediate financial future since learning of the show’s cancellation last month. And indeed, her celebrity lifestyle may just begin winding down after the TLC gravy train ends- but Jon seems to think that that’s no big deal.

In an online interview, Jon says that he and his ex are capable of supporting their kids and moving on after the Kate Plus 8 series finale tonight- but a return to a normal life is key. Jon cautions and advises Kate:

“Reality TV is not a career. Get back to a normal life — a simple life. Provide for your family. Things will work out the way they should work out. Obviously there are families out there that have several kids – people work normal jobs and things work out. Everything is possible”

The now less-famous Gosselin says that his life is proof that life after reality TV is possible and even preferable:

“I don’t have a farm on 24 acres and the kids seem to have a great time at my house… I go to work every day and provide for my family. I spend time with my kids – spend time on the weekends. I spend time with the girlfriend I’ve had for over a year now. And enjoy a normal lifestyle.”

Perhaps the most interesting part of all this is that Jon has to address these issues with Kate through the medium of an interview. Will you be tuning in to Kate Plus 8‘s series finale tonight?

Kate Gosselin Says Goodbye to ‘Kate Plus 8′ Tonight is a post from: The Inquisitr

Last week, newly single mom of eight Kate Gosselin did a round of press discussing the new season of her show Kate Plus 8 and her kids’ desire she meet and marry a new guy following her high-profile divorce from ex Jon Gosselin.

It looks like Kate will have a bit more time on her hands to find Mr. Right- TLC has decided not to renew the once-popular reality show that first chronicled the hectic daily life of the Gosselins and their massive brood, and then shifted focus to Kate’s life as a single mom to eight children. Prior to the departure of Jon from the series, Kate was often pilloried in gossip columns for her harsh treatment of her spouse and frequent pointed criticism- goodwill toward Jon rapidly frittered away when he ran off with Kate’s plastic surgeon’s twentysomething daughter. (That coupling, not surprisingly, did not end well.)

After Jon and Kate’s crumbling marriage was no longer a part of the series, it appears America quit tuning in to monitor the family’s doings. In a statement, TLC confirmed:

TLC has decided not to renew another season of Kate Plus 8. By the end of this season Kate Plus 8 will have hit the 150 episode mark (including Jon & Kate Plus 8); an exceptional milestone. TLC hopes to check in with Kate and the family periodically with specials in the future.

Over a series of comments on Twitter, Kate commented:

As is very typical for me, I am choosing to see the positive in this situation and I am excited to consider the… many more invigorating opportunities that may come my way! I poured my entire self in2 last 6 yrs of ‘Kate+8′ …I can’t wait2have the chance 2 challenge myself again w future endeavors!… And maybe even some dating??!!

Kate said the show will air through September 12th before it goes off the air for good. Kate has not discussed her plans to support the Gosselin clan after the show ends.

Kate Gosselin’s ‘Kate Plus 8′ Axed! is a post from: The Inquisitr

Dad of 8 and d-list playboy Jon Gosselin has been dumped from the title and main storyline of TLC’s Jon and Kate Plus 8.

Starting November 2nd, the show will officially change titles to Kate Plus 8. No specific reasons were given for the switch, and Jon will still appear in some episodes, but speculation points to Jon’s continual frat boy behavior. Even before the Gosselin’s impending divorce was announced, Jon was caught out by paparazzi partying with college girls, schtupping the daughter of Kate’ plastic surgeon and generally behaving caddishly. Since the split, he has been photographed publicly kissing girlfriend Hailey Glassman while Kate stays home with their eight children.

It seems America’s interest in the Gosselins has faded tremendously as well. While Jon and Kate‘s fifth season premiere grabbed a record 9.8 million viewers, only 4.2 million people tuned in for the new crop of episodes on August 3rd, and only 1.2 million people tuned in this past Monday.
