Yesterday we were too busy mocking Kate Major for her teary pathetic interview with Inside Edition to notice that she somehow scored an interview on CBS’ Early Show. The fact that one of Gosselin’s sorry ass hookups is getting so much press time is a testament to how much people are still interested in this sad reality family of multiples.

Major came across as much more put together and reasonable in this interview, but there’s still a pungent smell of desperation around her, as if she has nothing else to do than fixate on this less than two week fling and continue to complain about Jon to the media:

On her involvement with Jon and how serious it was
I didn’t look at it as a fling, I wouldn’t have gotten involved with him if I knew the outcome of the situation – ever. But I did, and Jon had promised me and told me a lot of things or else I wouldn’t have put myself in this situation…

He told me a lot of things that he isn’t saying publicly that he said. It’s very hurtful because I have to deal with the repercussions of it alone…

Promised her a job as his personal assistant
Before I had resigned from my job I talked to Jon about this. He told me that it was impossible for us to be together and for me to be a reporter. I also knew that it wasn’t fair to Star Magazine… I was supposed to work for him as his personal assistant, and also be with him, and also work with other clients that he had coming up.

Even after he said that he publicly couldn’t be with anyone after he told me that he broke up with Hailey, I figured it was for the show, it was for his family, it was for the kids. I didn’t think that it would turn out with him going back to Hailey.

On Hailey calling her “cuckoo”
You know, I feel badly for her that she doesn’t know the truth, and that Jon didn’t tell her the truth… Any guy that cheats says that the other woman is [makes air quotes] “cuckoo” or “crazy.” So obviously, she doesn’t know the truth. I have nothing bad to say about her. This isn’t about Hailey and I, this is about Jon and I.

Question: Are you still in love with him?
No

Question: What do you think of him now?
I don’t have a lot of respect for him. I think he handled the situation very poorly. He did not act like an adult, or a grown man, or a father. It’s sad. I think the fame has just gone to his head and he’s on some bachelor romp or whatever you want to call it. But you cannot treat people… It’s not fair to me, it’s not fair to Hailey, it’s not fair to his ex-wife, his kids or anyone else involved in the situation.

On her future and if she still has “journalistic aspirations”
Of course. I loved my job. I worked really hard at it when I was in Los Angeles and again in NY. I have a degree. I’m not some stupid girl. This wasn’t my first assignment. Yes I crossed the line, and I should have now better. Now I just have to admit what happened. I’ve been truthful all along, and Jon has not. And move on with my life. Everything I believe happens for a reason and the worst thing you can do is sit there and lie.

I guess we can assume that Kate is not welcome back at Star Magazine, especially since she scored an exclusive cover with competitor Life & Style this week. I would have guessed otherwise last week, but it looks like she burned her bridges. The fact that she so easily quit her job, and her constant whining interviews, show that Major is indeed the “stupid girl” she claims not to be. No college degree can insulate you from that level of f*ck up.

Also, I love celebrity gossip more than most people, but am at a loss to see how this chick merits an interview on a national morning talk show. Inside Edition I get, but CBS’ Early Show? The crossover of gossip to mainstream news usually doesn’t bother me, but this somehow steps way over that line.
