Here is Kate Gosselin exploiting her “new look” on the cover of this week’s People Magazine. This is the second time in six months or so that Kate has been on People cover with new hair declaring that she’s starting over. I guess the possum hair wasn’t a fresh enough start, so Kate had to go with ugly, Britney Spears-style budget extensions. In the interview excerpts (via Fox News), it seems Kate’s “new start” is all about the hair too.
It’s not that we didn’t want to like Kate Gosselin’s new look on the cover of People magazine, where she triumphantly declares “I’m starting over.”
But as human beings with functioning eyeballs, we simply couldn’t get past the terrible look of her new long hair weave, complete with highlights and short layers.
And while we never thought this was possible, it appears her new hair is, shockingly, worse than the porcupine cut for which she has become famous. Not only does it look horribly fake, but Gosselin still seems to have the same short cut as always, only this time she has one massive hair-piece attached to the back of it.
“It’s good to have hair again,” Kate tells People. “I never thought I’d have short hair for as long as I did. I feel like this is a fresh start, a fresh me, a fresh life.”
Later, she refers to herself as the new “Kate Clean Slate.”
“I’m rebuilding. There’s no option for this not to be a good year. Now I get to start over with a new self and new goals.”
[From Fox News 411]
To my ear, “Clean Slate Kate” would have sounded better than “Kate Clean Slate”. But I guess Kate is just testing out ideas for her whatever her next reality-show adventure is going to be, don’t you think? It wasn’t even two weeks ago that she got fired from her big new mom show, so she’s looking for her next hook. She’s marketing right now, and she’s trying to figure out if budget extensions will help out her new career path. It worked for Britney!
Here’s a photo of Britney’s budget extensions to compare and contrast:

How many times is she going to open up? We already know everything!!
The extension are bad but she looks better this way, the short haircut was horrible on her.

Hey did you not promise to no longer post anything Gosslin? To quote the View’s Joy, “So what? Who cares..” Her fifteen minutes are up.

oy! I can’t see anything but her possum haircut. I can STILL see it. It just looks like they photoshopped hair-color behind her shoulders. Ay-yay-yay this is trecherous looking.

First off – Shirtless Channing Tatum is HAWT! *Makes note to see movie Dear John*
OT: The longer hair length suits her better than the ‘possum do’; but the actual hair looks horrible.
Also, you’re at 14:58 of your 15 minutes; I hope this is the last we see of you and your family in 2010.

LOL!! The color of those extensions does not even come CLOSE to matching the color of her hair!! I wonder who did this for her? Some podunk hairdresser in PA? LOL! I can’t stop laughing at how BAD she looks!! She cannot seem to get away from The Curse of the Bad Hair! Just go away, Kate – no one wants to watch you in anything anymore. Go take care of your kids.

This woman will stop at nothing to keep herself relevant (which she never really has been). If the Britney extensions don’t work, I suspect will be seeing her in Lady Gaga outfits any day now.

You can put lipstick on a pig and it’s still a pig. You can spray expensive purfume over sh*t and it will still be sh*t. Hair and clothes will not change what’s wrong with that woman on the inside.

What would have been wrong with just GOING OFF RADAR for a minute or two and simply growing her hair out? The result probably would have been better.
Emphasis on GOING OFF RADAR.

Looks ridiculous! They shouldn’t have left the short pieces right by her face.

Kate and Jon should be worrying on how they are going to take care of all those kids with “REAL PEOPLE” salaries.
The K-Mart extensions aside she should redo her resume and get a JOB because what do we really need from her (mom of eight kids) big deal she has nothing to offer anyone except her kids.

The Gosselins are not actors, musicians, writers, designers, models, producers… they have no relevancy to the celebrity world. So why are they shoved down the public’s collective throat? Why should anyone give a shit about either of them?
They’re both nauseating and need to f*ck off already.

must say the hair is a big improvement. but then again she had nowhere to go but up.

Seriously people, we all know the hair isnt real, but she really doesnt look that bad. She isnt an ugly woman. She wants her hair to grow out and this will help her do so while still feeling good and that is all that matters.
And all you people that are bashing her for whatever reasons. Your the reason she is on the covers of magazines cuz your the same people picking them up and reading them. Your probably actually jealous of her because she is pretty and has kids.
And I bet after seeing that picture of her, Jon has a boner.

I think she looks nice with long hair, but her hair was really too short to be able to pull of extensions.
Why doesn’t anybody just grow their own hair these days?

This..person gets the cover for that disaster of hair? How many times has she said now that she’s starting over, moving on with her life, trying new things, blah blah blah.
She’s still a horrific bitch, even given the waste of space she was married to.

KelBear: “your” is possessive. As in “your books.”
“You’re” is something you should look into. It’s a contraction for “you are.”
You misused it repeatedly. On the internet, the only way we can communicate is through the written word. Learn to write.
That being said, Kate Gosselin is a disgusting piece of trash and needs to fall down a well. Or at least just stop being such a desperate attention seeking fame whore. Sorry, but your best friend is a complete idiot and looks like a fool.

She never thought she would have short hair for over 5 years? It could have grown out quite nicely by now Kate.
Either she’s A) trying to be funny, or 2) trying to spite Jon. In one of the earlier episodes, she had short-ish brown hair (with maybe a little red? I can’t remember), and Jon kept talking about how he liked it so much, and she went and chopped it off to what it is now and dyed it blonde.
Then again, I’m considering getting a haircut, can I call People and get on the cover!?

Jesus Christ that is AWFUL hair extensions. They look so heavy and fake and the color is so barf-tastic. WTF was she thinking? Then again, this is the woman who voluntarily married Jon Gosselin, so her judgement is clearly suspect.

She may look great to SOME, but she’s still a very ugly person inside. She doesn’t buy milk for her kids because it’s sooooo “expensive” but she can live in a mansion, with a full staff of helpers, get fake boobs, cosmetic surgery, hair extensions and $400 shoes? Glad to see the business of Child Exploitation is working for her….and they don’t even get milk.

I’m still confused by Britney’s hair…she shaved her head in February 2007, but it looks like she did it three months ago because her weave is so uneven! Shouldn’t her normal hair be of a good length by now? Or is there even ANY real hair in that nest?

I want a job where I hang out at celebrities’ houses while they get ready to go out, and only let them out if they look good. They could have their yes people, and then I could be their “hell no bitch” person. Oh, the fun I could have.

seriously if she is trying to “brand” herself as a mom the best way to do it is to be a mom to those kids.
lay low and show back up in six months. ugh. extensions and magazine covers make it ever too obvious where her priorities are.

Those extensions are awful. Couldn’t People magazine at least attempt to match the hair color before printing? Are they trying to help her or what.

I hate reality “stars.” Nothing REAL about them!! In Hollyweird fake tans, boobs, chins, foreheads, hair, etc ALL LOOK FAKE. If these idiots are “keeping up with the Joneses,” well then, the Joneses must be a pathetic, plastic Barbie and Ken family. I find it all terribly sad!

FYI it apparently took 20 hours, and probably thousands of dollars from TLC, to put those extensions in! That brings new meaning to Dolly Parton’s famous saying ” It costs a lot of money to look this cheap.”

I dislike her a lot, but I can understand wanting extensions. I have short hair only because I have the thinnest, finest hair on the planet and when I grow it out, it looks raggedy. I have always wanted extensions so I could have thick, beautiful hair ONCE in my life….but since my hair is so thin, the extensions wouldn’t work anyways (they’d be visible through the hair), so I can’t hate on her for this. What I CAN hate on her for is that godawful possum cut. I have had spiky hair off and on since 2001 and while it looks nothing like Kate’s, I am always thinking that people will see it and think that I cut it that way to emulate her. And that sh*t is NOT worth 7 grand…get the hell outta here. Ridiculous!!

WAY TO GO, KATE! You’re living proof of how successful a parent EXPLOITING their children can be. Let’s see now……..you got a free tummy tuck, free teeth whitening, rumors have it a boob job too, fake tan and now fake hair. I nominate you MOTHER OF THE YEAR! Not. You are anything but a good, humble Christian mother who is doing right by her children. You thrive on your five minutes of fame and you actually have the audacity to think that anybody really cares; talk about a narcissist. I have no idea how any woman can feel good about themselves with so much ‘fakeness’. Talk about delusional. A good mother wouldn’t exploit her children like you have and continue to do. You are a nobody and you contribute nothing of value to our planet.

First, readers, get it through your heads, Kate DID NOT PAY FOR THIS, it is just like everything else in her life, TLC or someone else paid for it. Second, if she loved it as much as she said, WHY IS SHE HIDING IT? Third, when is she going to have TLC pay someone to do a ‘check’ before she walks out her door looking so bad (she’s too ugly to go out without makeup on and is NOT a HAT WEARERer-they don’t look good on her). Fourth, she should skip the empire tops as they make her look about 7 months pregnant and 45 years old. Fifth, she should just skip the ‘celebrity wannabee’ life as it ain’t workin.

The cover photo was because a big deal artist did it for her. It supposedly took his people 20 hours to do it and it was not cheap. True it does look cheap and over processed, but she did not want it and apparently has not decided what to do about it. I am very old and God Blessed me with good wavey hair that still grows very fast. Her hair is brunette really and would be more becoming, especially since the surfer girl look went out thirty years ago, and her children all have dark hair. I read the twins laughed at it too. Poor old Kate.
