Kate Gosselin Confirms Plans for Her Own Talk Show

During the Southern Women's Show in Charlotte, NC last week, Kate Gosselin confirmed various online reports that she wants her own talk show. The 34-year-old mother of eight said:

"I've been given the gift of gab, so why not use it?"

Gosselin was confirmed by Us Weekly to have joined Paula Deen at a pilot taping in NYC over the weekend. Other women being considered for the show include comedian Julie Gold, CBS talent Rene Syler, and Lee Woodruff, the wife of former ABC World News anchor Bob Woodruff.

Last week Kate got to try her hand at the talk show circuit, guest hosting three episodes of ABC's "The View". She commented that it was "sort of like a career move, so I had to do it."
