- The purchase comes to light days after Gosselin told the media her fears of providing for her family in a post-TV world.
WYOMISSING, Pennsylvania — Unemployment looks good on Kate Gosselin. The reality TV star, whose Kate Plus 8 was cancelled by TLC, with the final episode airing Monday, has purchased an Audi TTS two-seater sports car, an unusual choice for an out-of-work mother of eight.
While she told paparazzi that she bought the Audi used and got "a great deal" on it before the show was cancelled in mid-August, Gosselin, 36, was first seen driving it, ironically, just after Labor Day. The 2012 TTS lists new for $47,875 including shipping.
The purchase comes to light days after Gosselin whined in the media about her fears of providing for her family post-TV and how returning to 12-hour nursing shifts wouldn't bring home enough bacon.
Gosselin's show began airing in 2005, chronicling the chaotic, yell-filled life with her kids, twins Cara and Mady and sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel. Earlier episodes included husband Jon, whom she divorced in 2009.
Inside Line says: Kate Gosselin keeps finding ways to stay in the spotlight.

"Bleh! And that's both the car and the skank - Jon should consider himself lucky."
Like Jon's not a skank himself?
Rene, this is a pathetic, vacuous, catty, and hypocritical article. I wish I hadn't read it. I apologize to myself.

I'm trying to figure out how this statement is remotely logical when it pertains to someone who signed up to do a reality show and obviously maintains a tight relationship with the tabloids.

She's already banked millions from the show over the years since it's been on TLC. She doesn't ever need to work again, if she doesn't want to. She can just spend the interest from all the millions in her bank account.

Kate Gosslelin gives all hard-working sleep-deprived nurses a bad name. Not to mention mothers, ex-wives, and reality-television stars (Snooki isn't even the same league).

At the risk of committing suicide afterwards? Don't think so.

Doesn't matter she is an unemployed mother of 8, isn't child support and alimony great? I wish I had 8 kids and a useless nursing degree so I could buy a TT, heck I would be happy with a golf.
This story would not be making headlines if she was not wining about her financial problems and how broke she is for the last few months. I have no pity for her, even with a huge nursing shortage in this country she can not find a suitable nursing job? She says they will make her work 12 hour shifts every day? My sister is a fulltime nurse in the same state that this reality show reject lives, and my sister works 5 8 hour shifts a week at a hospital. She also considered working for the state pen since she is a retired correction officer, as a nurse, which is another 40 hour a week 5 day a week nursing job.
