Dancing with the Stars...

You know, I actually liked their show and was sad to see how it blew up. But I must agree. I thought the same thing. She's going to be away from the kids a lot. I guess Jon could take this as an advantage overall.
But I have a feeling she won't last long on the show anyway.
Oh, and yes, she wants to be back in the spotlight. She even said on the last show of Jon & Kate Plus 8 that she wanted to do something in television. Like host her own talk show or something. So this is just her way to get back into it.
Plus, I'm sure the network is thinking she will pull in viewers for the drama.
It seems to me that this show is turning into Dancing with the non-stars. Shannen Doherty? Pam Anderson....really. What has she done lately??

But I'll still watch it.

Yep, I'll be watching it too. Kate is such a perfectionist and has unreasonable expectations of herself and others -- not to mention all the phobias she seems to have..... Even if she does a great job, I don't think she has enough "fans" to keep her on very long.

Does anyone know if they pay these people anything or is this something D-list celebs do to get publicity?

I have seen this couple and kids on Oprah before the split, on entertainment tonite recently and honestly i am so sick of hearing about them,and i don't even live in America,does anyone else feel that way over there.?

Well, since the costumes they wear on that show are almost nonexistant, I think she's just wanting to show jon what he's missing now!

I don't really see how it's so different from any of the other moms who have been on the show, besides the number of kids she has. Maybe that she's divorced makes a difference? Brooke Burke comes to mind, she has something like four young children. I don't personally like the show as much as I used to, and I have never liked Kate gosselin, so I don't know that I'll watch this season. Maybe it'll do her some good to dance, sometimes it helps people with some of their "issues." I don't think it's fair and it's definitely a double standard to question whether she should do it and not any of the other moms or dads that have been and will be on the show.
