Kate Gosselin got a ‘mediocre’ job as a coupon blogger, how long will she last?

img_2346
Remember when Kate Gosselin went on the Today Show and dissed the fact that her ex, Jon Gosselin, had been working a regular 9 to 5 for over a year? She said “Jon may be accepting of mediocre for his kids and working a regular job and I want the best for my kids and the best opportunities, not unlike every parent. I think that to be a good parent is to work as hard as you can and give them the best opportunities in life.” So to Kate Gosellin a real job equals mediocre. How is she going to explain the fact that she just took a “regular” job as a coupon blogger for a company called Coupon Cabin? I’m sure she got a nice six figure salary in exchange for the minimal amount of work she has to do and all the publicity she’s getting for the company. There are probably over a hundred moms who currently run coupon blogs and would do a much better job for a fraction of the cost.

As we first told you last week, the reality TV mom scored a new gig blogging for bargain-hunting website CouponCabin.com.

So how did Gosselin’s first day on the job work out? Find out after the jump…

READ: Kate Gosselin’s Got a New Job

In a just-released video clip from the Indiana-based company, Gosselin is shown settling in with the crew by brainstorming money-saving ideas for her first blog post on Nov. 22.

The 36-year-old mother of eight is also seen taking photos with coworkers—as well as a portrait for the office walls—and learning how to navigate a computer.

“Another day, another city! I love my job!” Gosselin tweeted yesterday. “Coupons and saving excite me!! Yay!!!”

[From E! Online]

Well at least she got a job and it’s not on TV and she’s not pimping out her kids, for now. I clip coupons. I don’t go crazy with it and I try to only use them when it’s something I already buy and the coupon makes the item cheaper than the store brand. For brands I’m loyal to, like haircare products and some makeup, you can save quite a bit with coupons and that makes it worth it. If you’re spending hours tracking down the best bargains it kind of defeats the purpose. Also, if you ever buy anything online just search on the name of the site you’re buying on plus the word “coupons.” I pretty much do that before I buy anything.

Oh and since it’s Veteran’s Day I just learned that you can donate expired coupons to military families since they can use them on military bases for six months after they expire. That’s nice!

Getting back to Kate Gosselin, I’m sure she’ll soon alienate just about everyone she works with. Remember how fed up her dance partner, Tony Dovoloni, was with her on Dancing With The Stars? It was pretty clear from his statements after working with her that he basically couldn’t stand her. This is a last ditch effort for Kate after she was tried to pitch shows to multiple networks and failed. It’s still not “mediocre” enough for my taste though. That would involve Kate doing dirty, smelly manual labor.

Here’s a link to a video of Kate “working.” She tries to sound like she actually knows what she’s talking about and fails. They show her working at an actual desk with other people around. She looks like she’s trying so hard not to yell at a woman who tries to give her instructions.

    Did she do something to her face? her eyes look different.

    Edit: Oh wait I know: she botoxed away those deep, gigantic frown gashes that she formed into her face.

  2. jen says:

    That Troopons program is so cool!

  3. bigchili says:

    Are we really supposed to believe that she uses coupons? really??

  4. Pyewacket says:

    At least it is a job.

    I believe she uses coupons. She has a ton of kids, and it makes sense.

    I use coupons. I figure $20 saved on a grocery bill, is $20 towards something fun in the future.

  5. cinderella says:

    Of course she had to wear the Pepto- Bismol pink to stand out in the crowd.

  6. MarenGermany says:

    “Jon may be accepting of mediocre for his kids and working a regular job and I want the best for my kids and the best opportunities,”

    wow, basically every parent should prepare their kids for the harsh reality of supporting ones lifestyle on a regular basis. if they wanna aim higher, good for them, but if you dont prepare your kids you set them up for failure

  7. Heatheradair says:

    teehee — I was thinking the SAME thing — she got more than just a mediocre new job — she got a mediocre new face, too!

  8. Shelly says:

    I absolutely loathe this woman. She is lazy, rude, and completely self-absorbed. She looks pretty here, though.

  9. Laurie M. says:

    I wonder if Steve goes to work with her everyday too?
    She REALLY needs to lay off the Botox.

  10. wunder says:

    The coupon cabin sounds like the right place for her. She needs to clip it and and zip it.

  11. You don't say says:

    Oh, she has to work for a living like most people do instead of exploiting her children for a buck and she gets coverage. Please…

    Agree that is a new face, which she somehow can afford on a “working woman’s” salary. Again…Puh-lese.

  12. Anastasia says:

    http://www.realitytvkids.com

    It’s my one-stop shop for Kate snark.

    No, she won’t last long. She literally screws up EVERYTHING she tries to do. Everything. Her marriage, DWTS, getting rich off her kids (show canceled), the kids clothing line with Health-Tex, her failed book, the cookbook that was so plagiarized Zondervan wouldn’t even publish it, that Twist of Kate show TLC decided not to even produce, friendships, relationships with family members, an egocentric attempt to support the Red Cross that backfired, everything!

    And by the way, someone else is going to write the blog entries. They’re just putting her name on them.

  13. judyjudy says:

    I don’t understand why anyone would hire her. She is so unpleasant.

  14. Neelyo says:

    She looks so unatural at that computer, like she’s never seen one before in her life.

    And her face! Obviously she used a coupon to get that.

  15. Dawn says:

    What is wrong with companies these days? I say Shame on Coupon Cabin or whoever they are for hiring this shrew. This woman is every bit as shameless as Kris Jenner. Yuk. And does she bring her “body guard” to work with her? There is nothing special about this fraud, other than she made her show into a pedophiles dream by showing her children naked and on the potty. This poor excuse of a mother will do anything for money so she can get her hair done and new clothes. She is so phony. And no she won’t do a good job because this is about coupons and NOT her.

  16. texasmom says:

    Neelyo, that’s hilarious! Maybe she can get a coupon for a new husband to kick around, too.

  17. Lio says:

    @cinderella:

    Lol, I was just thinking the same thing! In that group shot, all of them are wearing muted colors and look professional, except dumbass attention whore in her Hot Pink low-cut dress! Idiot.

  18. Theresa says:

    she will kick this little company to the curb the moment anything, and I mean anything, else comes up that gives her a higher profile. Then we will be hearing the truth about their experience with her that will no doubt include juicy tidbits of how Kate kept pushing for them to get on TV, or use her in more advertising, or include her kids somehow. This woman is not satisfied behind a desk and monitor, I mean she couldn’t start a job like everyone else, she had to still make it some kind of media event! Who the hell watches videos of people getting on-the-job training for blogging?????

  19. theaPie says:

    She’s a nightmare to vacation with, can you imagine what a nightmare she’d be to WORK with??

    Good call on the botox teehee.

  20. heather says:

    Maybe she’s trying to get a spot on TLC’s extreme coupon show. Wouldn’t put it past her!

  21. lucy2 says:

    This too will end badly, probably with badmouthing and lawsuits. This shrew wants to be a big star, nothing less, and it just ain’t happening! Thankfully.

  22. Jenn12 says:

    I despise this woman and the only thing that would make me happy is seeing her shoveling actual manure, as opposed to what drops out of her mouth hourly. However, if they pay her enough so that she can have the nannies raise those poor kids, then thank God for that. She shouldn’t have access to anything more than a Chia pet.

  23. Nancy C. says:

    if you watched the show you’d know she uses coupons. why all the trash about her? geez give it up already.!! are the duggars pimping their kids then? they make press releases when the duggar woman gets pregnant. i LOVE KATE!!!! and admire her for taking care of her kids. JON ran away and didnt contribute a dime for years.

  24. OXA says:

    This shrew is just a face for brand name recognitionploy for the company to get traffic on their site. Of course she does not actually go to work there every day. I look at her vile narcissistic sense of entitlement and the sacrifice of her kids so will avoid the site.

  25. Anastasia says:

    Nancy C: yes, I despise the Duggars for exploiting their kids, too.

    Where did you get this idea that Jon “didn’t contribute a dime for years?” He’s always paid child support. Don’t you think if he missed it, even once, that Kate would be screaming it from the rooftops and having him arrested? Sheesh.

    Your worship for this child-exploiting famewhoring shrew is blinding you to the truth about her. She’s an untalented, classless, narcissistic, greedy asshole who only wants fame and wealth, but doesn’t want to work for anything. And she couldn’t care less about those kids (see: any episode of her show, ever) except as their use as money makers.

  26. Jackson says:

    Hot pink dress and silver peep-toes – I’m sure she’ll fit right in.

    And don’t forget to sign up at a place like Ebates if you shop online! You get actual cash back in a check every six months. I love it!

  27. Dawn says:

    #23 , The Duggars don’t put their kid’s potty chair outside and film it. The Duggars do not use the church to get money. The Duggars don’t do a ton of things that Kate does and guess what Michelle Duggar has yet to get herself a body guard, plastic surgery or change her way of dress. I have never seen Michelle be disrespectful to anyone, not her spouse, not her children, no one. Let’s get this clear as well, Jon didn’t run away, Jon was sent away after Steve arrived, Kate asked him to sign an agreement that stated he was free to do as he pleased as long as he showed up for filming. And so he did and then the TLC spin machine took over when he was doing as he pleased. And how do you know he didn’t “contribute a dime” for years? He was court ordered to pay something like $20,000.00 a month; I think that is a heck of lot of dimes. You can love Kate all you want, you can idealize Kate to make her what she is not, and Kate needs people like you to exist frankly. But I have every right to NOT like her based on everything I’ve seen and read about her.

  28. miss_bhaven says:

    She looks puffy in the upper eye lid area.

  29. Lisa says:

    No joke…there is NO WAY that is Kate Gosselin…

    No way…I mean, the woman above looks like a Kate Gosselin look-a-like and NOT a realistic one…

    I am SO not kidding!!!

  30. fabgrrl says:

    All the pictures scream, “Look at me! Look at me! Look at MEEEEEEEE!”

  31. Estella says:

    This creature looks like 10 other cookie-cutter blondes that I know. Are we sure this is Kate Gosselin? If so, WTF did she do to her face?

  32. Criss says:

    I’m sure she’ll find a way to make the computer hate her.

  33. kellsbells says:

    Wonder if she found a coupon for Botox, cause her face looks like it can’t freaking move!
    I’m all for coupons, but I am no fan of Kate Gosslin and never will be.
    Thanks for the heads up re: the vets and expired coupons – that’s good news!

  34. bluhare says:

    I don’t think it looks like her either. If it is, she’s really whacked her face.

  35. bros says:

    ahahahaha I wonder how long this will last before she makes an enemy of everyone and gets fired.

  36. CJW says:

    Thanks for the note about donating coupons to military families. The military will mail them to bases and installations overseas for use. Stateside commissaries won’t take expired ones.

    Could you imagine if Kate went back to being a nurse? I would laugh my ass of if she walked in my hospital room. And then I would ring that bell every five minutes for her to come and fluff my pillow. But really, I can’t see this woman having the sensitivity necessary to be a nurse. Ever.

  37. stephanie says:

    she looks way better than usual here

  38. Kim says:

    A couple of those pictures seriously made me wonder if she went to a plastic surgeon and said, “Leann Rimes’ face, please.” Oh, wait – she’d never say please.

  39. Rhiley says:

    She looks completely different and couponcabin must be run by a bunch of idiots because who would willing bring her on staff. Have they not seen her in action. She is one crazy bitch, and not in a good way.

  40. Justalark says:

    I just had an inspired idea!

    THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL SHOULD HIRE KATE AS MIKE ROWE’S CO-HOST FOR THE SHOW “DIRTY JOBS.”

    Wouldn’t that be great? Kate would be thrilled because she would stay on television, and the public would be happy to see how desperate she truly is to extend those 15 minutes of fame!

  41. Stacia says:

    I think she Botoxed her forehead…she looks different.

  42. Cerulean says:

    I don’t care about this wretch but what in tarnation did she do to her face? I did not recognize her. Mayhaps a browlift?

  43. TXCinderella says:

    I work a 9-5 job. Does that make me a bad mother? Kiss off Kate!

  44. original kate says:

    her poor coworkers. i give it a week before someone puts ex-lax in her coffee.

  45. Lisa says:

    Damn, that’s a really nice office. I’m sure that job doesn’t give her all sorts of freebies like TLC did, but I would give anything to work in a fancy office like that everyday.

  46. bagladey says:

    I thought she was gone. Why is she still turning up here?

  47. Judy says:

    @ Anastasia: http://www.realitytvkids.com

    It’s my one-stop shop for Kate snark.
    _______________________________________

    Yep, I’ve been posting there for years. Do you post or just lurk? If you post, it’s under another name, but you’re a favorite of mine here. Anyway, most of the women who post there are highly educated, and that’s where you will get the “real” scoop on Kate Gosselin, including her American Red Cross “scandal”…and, yes, of course, she will have a ghost writer for the blog entries. She can’t put an intelligent sentence together grammatically or otherwise. And Nancy C, you are woefully misinformed. Jon has ALWAYS paid child support.

  48. Thanks for the shoutout, Anastasia!

  49. milesaugust says:

    If only there were ankle reduction surgery, she would be dreamy….

  50. neonlove says:

    Her “new” face makes her look like she has Down Syndrome – especially in the first photo. Everything about her is FAKE.

  51. Nina says:

    When I glanced at the picture, I thought it was Leann Rimes and I was all ‘Oh, she must have gotten work done to open up her eyes a little bit’

  52. F5 says:

    Hope Kardashians are watching.. this is their future:D

  53. JaneWonderfalls says:

    Believe it or not her face actually is looking better, I still think she is a horrible human being but she is looking pretty good on the outside… to bad you can’t get surgery to change the inside of your:-)

  54. anne says:

    Crap – I thought we were done having to hear about this b$#@!ch

  55. daisyfly says:

    WTF did she do to her face?

    What happened to not being able to afford food for her kids? Since when is plastic surgery and facial injections more important than caring for your kids, you narcissistic, selfish, ego-maniacal twat?

  56. gab says:

    @original Kate #44
    So funny! Ha! Made my afternoon.

    What is this woman morphing into? Her face looks……um……strange, even for her.

  57. kel says:

    @justalark – great idea!

    I doubt she’ll be showing up at work in Indiana on a regular basis. They are basically paying her for publicity. I wish she would just fade into the background and raise her kids so they will have a chance to be normal!

  58. Lee says:

    New job, new face. Seriously, without the headline I wouldn’t have even known it was her.

  59. teri says:

    A job that pays the most, last I checked she is the sole supporter of her large family! Damn why do people always hate on a woman only wanting to support herself and family? I see it as damned if she does and damned if she doesn’t. Jon in my opinion is a slacker, how is his current job even going to support his children? I bet he’s not even paying 50 per child. Let alone all medical and dental. I can’t blame her for taking the best paying available job offered who wouldn’t?

  60. Amy says:

    @Dawn – Funny you should reference Kris Jenner. I saw this headline and thought: Kris Humphries is about to be single. But frankly, I hope he has learned something from this experience – and next time tries dating (and/or marrying) a real human being instead of a walking Barbie. A better idea for Kate might be hooking up with Kim for a new reality show: “Kim & Kate Plus 8!”

  61. Mitch Buchanan Rocks says:

    @Justalark great suggestion.

  62. Lisa says:

    lmao! Look how proud she looks. Oh, god, this woman.

    This is better than her going back to nursing. I pity anyone who had this b as their nurse. No matter what the job, it has to be quite the shitshow having her as your coworker.

  63. Madisyn says:

    “Another day, another city! I love my job!”

    The above quote from Kate I actually buy. ANYTHING to get away from her kids. This ‘job’ is in Indiana? Uh, bitch lives in Pennsylvania. Leave it to this twit to find a ‘job’ in another state, like I said, away from her kids. I know she’s only being the ‘public face’ and isn’t actually doing any ‘work’ but if she were to get a job, one in another state is exactly what she would do.

  64. CeeCee says:

    must be paying alright, she gots herself a new face. Think she has the same surgeon as LeAnn Rime.
    I don’t really understand how using this woman promotes a company, I hear nothing but disdain for her

  65. Memphis says:

    Just seeing her makes me like coupons a little less…

  66. bored says:

    She actually looks pretty here. Maybe it will be a positive change for her.

  67. DrM says:

    She has a job and looks MUCH happier…I hope it works out well for her!

  68. dragonlady sakura says:

    The feral cat in my neighborhood is a better mother than she, but at least Kate’s working and not pimping out her children. For now, anyway.

  69. Llllll says:

    She got a lot, and I mean a LOT, of work done. Damn.

  70. Madisyn says:

    She can pretty herself up all day long and nothing will change the fact that she’s a raging, ugly narcissist on the inside.

  71. vic says:

    I remember her from the tummy tick. Man she looks a whole lot look at her way back when:

    http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/archive/2009/05/16/kate-gosselin-s-makeover-before-amp-after-photos.aspx

  72. texasmom says:

    I think Kate Gosselin, LeAnn Rimes, and Dina Lohan are all secretly the same person. I can’t tell them apart anymore.

  73. Judy says:

    @ Memphis: “Just seeing her makes me like coupons a little less…”.

    i’m sure she does use coupons for mac n’ cheese for her brood. then spends tens of thousands of dollars on plastic surgery, not to mention all she probably spends on her hair. what a bad example. wtf did she do to her eyes. let’s HOPE it’s only botox and not something more permanent.

  75. Teresa says:

    The expired coupons thing is only good for bases overseas, just FYI. It’s a great program, thanks for sharing that link!

  76. Sophie says:

    What happened to her face? I didn’t even recognize her.

  77. Rhowen says:

    Everyone noticed it too, huh? What is wrong with khate’s face? I’m with you Anastasia – someone will be writing her blog for her. khate cannot write anything without plagarizing someone’s work. There are soooooo many “smart” couponers out there who can blog way better than khate. Those couponers should have been hired, not khate. I feel sorry for this company using up their money to pay khate. I feel sorry for the real “workers” who would be forced to do khate’s job when khate fails to meet the deadline. khate cannot complete a whole sentence, how can she create an essay? Blogging requires a cohesive flow of thoughts. Oh, I forgot, “SOMEONE” will be doing the “REAL” blogging for khate. hahahahaha!
