Despite having her own reality TV show and eight beautiful kids, America's most famous mom, Kate Gosselin, has been left 'sad and lonely' with no real friends that she can confide in. "The truth is Kate is really sad and lonely with few true friends," the associate said. When she's not looking after her kids or filming Kate Plus 8, the perfectionist mom-of-eight is regularly photographed going to the nail spa, popping into the tanning salon or even traveling to New York, where she is known to get her hair done. "Her bodyguard Steve Neild is the closest person to her, but he's married with two kids of his own. "Steve lives in the basement of her home and he accompanies Kate everywhere, but they strongly deny that there is anything going on between them despite the fact that they have taken trips to Alaska and to Mexico together." Said the source: "Apart from Steve she does not have many true friends to confide in or just go out and have fun with while she does not have the best relationship with her family either." Even locals in the neighborhood have become judgmental, the source added. "They don't think greatly of her and she is not popular at the local stores, post office or car wash, because she cannot win people over and comes across as cold and aloof," the acquaintance said. "Kate just finds it hard to be friendly towards people and is very domineering - at the moment she is pre-occupied with looking her best and keeping-up appearances."

Two of the Gosselin sextuplets have been expelled from their Pennsylvania private school, In Touch Weekly reports. Alexis and Collin, age 6, are reportedly being home-schooled after getting kicked out for "rage issues." "They've fought with their peers, called them nasty names and made fun of other kids," a source told the magazine. Jon Gosselin recently lashed out at Kate for continuing to keep the kids on television, claiming the show has given them behavioral and emotional problems--and the In Touch report suggests their filming schedule has caused trouble at school. "Collin had such bad issues that he refused to get his picture taken at school because he's tired of being on-camera," the source said. A source close to the situation didn't explicitly confirm the expulsion but told the New York Post that Kate's "number one concern is protecting her children and is keeping this personal situation as a private matter that she works out with her kids."

Jon Gosselin threatened to report his then-wife Kate to Child Protective Services unless she gave him a large sum of money, RadarOnline.com is reporting exclusively. Jon's ex girlfriend Hailey Glassman revealed the details to RadarOnline.com exclusively and provided documents to back up her claims. Hailey told RadarOnline.com that Jon often refers to himself in the third person, and the notes reflect that. In one of them he wrote: "Jon giving Kate ultimatums. He privately extorts Kate. If you don't do what I want, I'll do this..." He also wrote: "24/48 hours or I'll go to DA (district attorney)" "He always referred to himself in the third person," Glassman told RadarOnline.com exclusively. "I found it so strange. It was almost like he thought he was still on camera." "We were in bed and Jon called Kate on speaker phone," she told RadarOnline.com exclusively. "He wrote down what he wanted to say to her and then he read from his notes. "He told her, 'You either give me money, or I'm going to call CPS.'" Hailey continued, "I was in the background asking 'what is CPS?' And Jon told me, 'Child Protective Services.' "Kate started screaming and Jon just started laughing," Hailey continued. "He just laughed at her. Later when he got off the phone I asked him, 'What are you doing? Why are you doing this? This is the mother of your eight children!' And he told me, 'Oh, you don't know what I went through with her, what I had to deal with.'" Many of Jon's personal notes are damning when it comes to his dealings with Kate. In addition to the excerpts referenced above, another note says, "Need 50k or 100k now. 24/48 hours go to DA." In another note he wrote: "I'm not your child. I need my money." Glassman said that Kate fought back during her conversations with Jon. "Kate would just say, 'You're sick Jon, you're sick. How could you do this to me? You need help," Glassman recalls. "I just remember thinking at the time that if he could do this to the mother of his kids, what would he do to me?" "There were so many times I witnessed it," Hailey said. "That's how he works. We would literally be in bed and Jon would call Kate, or Kate would call Jon to talk about custody and he would put her on speaker phone. She didn't know I was there. "He'd say, 'I'm going to go public with the way you treat the kids, I'm going to call CPS and the news and tell them everything unless you give me what I want."

Kate Gosselin is ready to start dating again, but this time she is only interested in dating Hollywood celebrities. She already has her eye on one in particular, Mr. Jeff Goldblum. "Kate is serious about going Hollywood and thinks dating a celebrity is a great idea," Kate's pal tells me. "When Kate sees how Tom Cruise changed Katie Holmes life, it became clear that she needed to do the same. Obviously, she knows she's not yet ready to date a George Clonney, but she thinks she would be the perfect partner for a Jeff Goldblum or someone like David Hasselhoff."

The Keystone state's House Republican Policy Committee is holding hearings today in Horsham, a suburb of Philly, to investigate possible violation of the child labor laws and alleged abuse. While Jon & Kate Plus 8 was in production state labor officials investigated the show for possible abuse and violations of child labor laws. They have yet to release their findings...The Kreiders testified that the Gosselin kids were stripped of their privacy, emotionally manipulated and had most damning -- their safety compromised all in the name of reality TV. According to the Kreiders, the children were overwhelmed with rooms overflowing with TV production gear with as many as three crew members present for 2-3 days at a time. Their privacy was so compromised, the Kreiders said, that the kids were taped during potty training with neither Jon nor Kate present for clips that were aired solely on the web. "The children were told it was Christmas Eve and Christmas morning when it wasn't, so that the camera crew would capture genuine reactions," Kreider testified. "They were only told the truth after the filming ended. They were told they did it for the show. "The children stated directly to us that they felt very confused and were upset over this event."

When asked if there was any possibility that Momzilla would grace the glossy covers of Playboy, Hef said, "No! No!" And the original playboy added insult to injury by suggesting he doesn't even know why she's on "Dancing with the Stars." He explained, "I don't think she's a celebrity."
"I've got to work harder now than ever because I am a single mom," the former Jon & Kate Plus 8 star, 35, said Tuesday on NBC's Today show. "In my heart I'm always in my kitchen, baking and cooking for my kids, and I'll always be there. It's a struggle to be here [in New York], to be anywhere. The emotion that you see is because I would rather be at home with them." But that's not always possible, she says. "I have to work. I have to provide for them. And it's a struggle that every working mom, especially single moms, go through, and I'm really feeling it now, and it's really hard."
