would you advice kate gosselin not to do any dancing anymore?  

however, i still doubt she'd develop a dancing bone there as much as barbara streisand would be be able to carry a rap tune. it just isn't there. but her willpower to do it for her kids is noble enough that people cannot say anything bad about her being a single mom. as for the custody battle: if jon gosselin doesn't have work that means he can be jailed right? for lack of spousal support?

you nail it on the head. it is hard and even painful to watch her. like exactly having your teeth pulled out. or like reliving my 6 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. labor. or having constipation.

but yes, equal opportunity...but i do believe that there are some celebrities who doesn't always make it there. i read that dancing with the stars wouldn't invite or take them. well, i guess kate gosselin sure spells ratings.

"Dancing with the Stars" is only good for stars who could really dance

then what would be the poitn of the competition?

this now confuses me for these celebrities already had a lot of training in them. some of them already had (besides acting lessons of course to actors on the show) lessons on almost everything: voice, dance, dieting, grooming etc. that they are currently not making a living out of at the moment. ergo, some of these celebrities can really and know how to dance but they did not make a living out of it. so, some of the celebrity contestants can dance and some obviously cannot. just an intrigue: do you know that there is one celebrity commentator who was so confused on one's qualifications to get in dancing with the stars? some are being turned down and some are being asked to join even those without a fighting chance of winning and risk making fun of by the people like kate. she said that celebrities who are trying to revive their careers (who have no work)at the moment are the ones who are in that show. meaning the had beens are the ones the network is making money out of. you can charge them lesser than if you could and would be able to get big stars.

i agree with you that everyone has to earn a living and that she shouldn't have lived beyond her means in that she should have satisfied herself with two kids knowing that their unnatural ways of conception could have brought again more than twins again and the fact that separation, which almost spells lack of financial support from the wayward parent, is almost always the case there abroad.

but as with her ways of earning a living while being made fun of in the process well...i guess you could take and should be able to take in anything with 8 kids to feed. i'd just feel sorry for her if i were her mother. i think with any decision we make we should think about our relatives who might suffer more than we would. having kids shouldn't just be a "want". it should be a phase of life that has everything taken into consideration so that when things get worse integrity and real earned would still be there.

i guess that's true. some mothers reason out work as an excuse to stay away from home. i do remember a former colleague being asked why she chose to work even on saturdays and she said she doesn't want to stay at home because of her naughty kids.

Putting different "stars" on dance shows in some ways is like the shows where they took "stars" and had them box or made them live in the same house. Most of the "stars" tend to be on the way down or are trying to resurrect their careers.
