The folks over at Film.com are the latest to tackle the rumor that 35-year-old reality show single mom of eight Kate Gosselin (late of “John & Kate Plus 8”) is in ABC’s sights to become the next star of “The Bachelorette.”
“That could be great!” ABC President Steve McPherson told radio host Ryan Seacrest Wednesday. “She was great on ‘Dancing’.” Series creator Mike Fleiss told Life & Style magazine that he was intrigued by the idea, but that it would have to be a “special edition” of the series, because he wouldn’t want to “jump the shark.”
You know, because “The Bachelorette” is so high-brow and sacrosanct. It’s on your DVR right next to episodes of “Masterpiece Theater,” right?
In any event, Gosselin’s people told Hollywood Life that there is no truth to the rumor. We’ll believe it when we don’t see it. Meanwhile, we’re having fun imagining the types of dates and activities Gosselin’s suitors would enjoy with her and the kids.
What are your ideas?

What sane man would want to want to be involved in that show?
