Kate Gosselin TV Hosting Gig: Mother of 8 Asked to Host Show
Kate Gosselin was made an offer to follow in Nadya Suleman's footsteps, in order to afford supporting her family of eight.
Gosselin has faced a series of losses, since first splitting with husband Jon Gosselin following the couple's rise to fame on "Jon & Kate Plus 8." After the couple's split the show was changed to "Kate Plus 8" in 2009, but never hit off before being canceled by TLC.
Gosselin's was then selected to appear on the 10th season of "Dancing With the Stars." The celebrity however, was surprised to get knocked off in April 2010, despite a number of criticisms from the judge.

"She was sure she'd make it to the final four," a source told Us Weekly magazine after the boot. "Kate misses the media coverage. She got used to the publicity."
Last week the mother of eight was fired from her position as a blogger for CouponCabin.com. The CEO claimed Gosselin was no longer "a good fit" for the company.
Now however, the reality star has been offered a whole new opportunity by Vivid Entertainment, according to TMZ. Gosselin was offered her own role as host for the company's new cable division. But the new position came with an unusual requirement; Gosselin will be expected to host the show nude.
The company's leader, Steven Hirsch, made the offer more tempting by adding that "would allow her to have a flexible schedule so she could spend plenty of time with her brood," according to the report.
"We have binders of women who would love the job, but you're definitely our first choice," Hirsch said according to TMZ.
Gosselin's dilemma is one that has been similarly faced by the "Octomom." Nadya Suleman also gave in to pressure to strip in order to support her family of 12 as a single mom.
