Kate Gosselin channels her inner Energizer Bunny

Yes, ex-husband Jon Gosselin is suing her for custody of their eight kids.

Yes, "Dancing With the Stars" judge Bruno Tonioli says, "She's crap. But in a nice way."

Yes, Jimmy Fallon got laughs brutally mocking her "Paparazzi" paso doble.

And yes, Hugh Hefner has turned up his nose.

Nevertheless, Kate Gosselin just keeps pushing ahead -- getting credit for boosting "DWTS" past "American Idol" in the ratings for the first time, signing on for her new TLC show "Twist of Kate" and smacking her ex upside the head in People magazine. 

Note to self: When Armageddon arrives, ensure proximity to Kate Gosselin. Chance of survival increases exponentially.

When is this talentless skank going to get booted off?...please eliminate her soon...why must we be tortured week after week with her bad dancing skills...

I think maybe they are keeping Kate around so people will tune in every week to watch this train wreck. Personally, I can't wait for her to be voted off already and I wish her 15 minutes of fame would end already. Now TLC is giving her a new show? Will this woman ever go away?
