Kate Gosselin is worried about her kids, and she absolutely needs to be. Kate is worried about how she will be able to support all 8 of her young kids after her cookbook, Kate: Love Is In The Mix, has failed miserably in sales, no other source of income is coming into the Gosselin house, and Jon Gosselin is saying the kids have developmental problems. Well Kate, here's an idea...get a real job if you don't want to be worried all day!

But the real reason Kate Gosselin is worried about her kids is Jon Gosselin and his violent behavior and unkind words that he has said to Oprah about the development of his eight kids. Jon tragically fired a gun at a female photographer who was trying to snap a picture of him on his Pa. property and is saying that the children are underdeveloped due to their reality show. Kate is growing more concerned about the sanity of her ex husband and fears the kids could be in real danger when left with him.

Kate has fired back in response of Jon Gosselin's unfair words about her kids, "I find it very heartbreaking that my children's father chooses a public forum to discuss his current opinions of the 'development' of our children,"

 As for her ex's violent behavior Kate Gosselin is obviously worried about the situation that took place. Protecting her kids from Jon and his dangerous behavior, that could possibly turn violent, is Kate's main concern right now.

Kate said on 'Bethenny' that she feels 'empathy' and 'pity' for Jon Gosselin but the compassion she feels toward him is not as strong as the need to shield her eight kids from Jon and his temper with weapons in the house. When TMZ asked Kate Gosselin about the wellfare of her kids, she replied that she is indeed concerned and 'It is getting taken care of."

Kate's should be worried about supporting her kids. Her cookbook failed because she is a reality show star, not a chef. The cookbook is currently on pre-order and has been available for several weeks. However, the book is still only listed as #16,359 on Amazon's most popular books list. This is a bad sign for Gosselin. And the low sales are in despite of Kate tweeting regularly about about it to her almost 17k followers.

 Kate Gosselin is looking for another reality show to support her kids but she's had little luck so far. Maybe it's time to get a real job Kate! Kate has a degree in nursing and it may be time to give up on the Hollywood dream and do what's right for her eight children. Any hospitals taking application for the 'Kate Plus 8' star?

But Kate should be more worried about the safetly of her kids then scoring a reality show deal. It seems her ex Jon is falling apart and Kate is growing needs to be more worried about the safety of her kids. 

Here's what happened with Jon and the photog: Kate Gosselin's ex husband Jon Gosselin, co star of 'Jon and Kate Plus 8,' pulled a gun on a female photographer yesterday and then fired a warning shot to get the photog off of his porperty. Gosselin, who was the star of a TLC the reality 'Jon and Kate Plus 8' pulled the gun out when the female photographer chased him down to his Pennsylvania cottage on Friday and trespassed on his land. Did Jon go too far and is he losing is mind living in the boondocks of Pa.?

Jon Gosselin, who now lives as a waiter in Beckersville, Pa., approached the photographer with a gun and fired a warning shot to scare the woman who was trying to get a picture of the ex reality star. Gosselin followed her all the way back to the main road to make sure she was no longer trespassing on his territory, firing a shot in the air.

The photog made a police report that Jon fired a shot in the air, but she declined to request that police take action. She was the one who was actually in the wrong trespassing on his land, so of course she took no further action as she could be in legal trouble as well if she took any further steps in getting Jon in trouble.

Since Jon split up with Kate he's been living a secluded life in the outskirts of Pennsylvania, living as a waiter at a restaurant.

He told "Entertainment Tonight" about living the simpler life:

"At first I was nervous because I was like, 'How are people going to react?'" Gosselin said. "But then I'm thinking 'Well it's fun and I get to talk to people.' And they technically already know me ... they're like 'Are you the guy?' I'm like 'Yeah, I'm the guy.'"

"You learn from your mistakes," he said. "That's what builds you to who you are today."

"I've hit rock bottom about 20 times, and then I bounce back again," he told ET.

Jon also admitted that he doesn't "have a relationship with Kate," and that they primarily communicate through text and email saying 'I don't physically see her."

 Radar Online and numerous other gossip websites reported that Jon Gosselin's child support payments to his ex-wife Kate are in arrears for the amount of $3,557.06. 

But at least Jon has a job. Kate has a degree in nursing and it may be time to give up on the Hollywood dream and do what's right for her eight children. 

Kate's cookbook is still only listed as #16,359 on Amazon's most popular books list and the cookbook reviews have been horrible. Kate has been constantly promoting the cookbook on her twitter account, her blog, and at book signings and is shocked how terrible the sales for the cookbook are so far.  

Some reviews on Amazon for the new Kate Gosselin cookbook are:

-What a terrible waste of time and money. Recipes seem to be recycled from the back of soup cans and internet recipe sites. You can do much,much better searching the Food Network or Allrecipes.com for free. Just My Opinion 

-Honestly I believe that anyone who writes a cookbook should have honest skills and training. This is a celebrity vanity book that happens to have a few non-original recipes. I cooked like this when I was 12 for my large family (under adult supervision).

-After previewing this in a local bookstore, my impression is this "cookbook" was nothing more than a money-making vehicle for Ms Gosselin that was hastily churned out, as there are several sloppy editing errors, along with mismatched photos. The premise for a Kate Gosselin "cookbook" lacks credibility--I've read articles where she has been quoted as saying she feeds only organic foods to her kids, so for me to believe her kids have eaten these recipes filled with non-organic, high-sodium, MSG-laced ingredients is difficult to swallow. No pun intended... 

Many of the recipes require high-sodium ingredients such as canned soup or shoyu, which I would NOT want to feed to my son. Cooking from cans is not my idea of a cookbook, and if I wanted to cook that way, I can order one of Campbell's cookbooks here on Amazon. At least their cookbooks are proofread, the recipes tested, and attractively and professionally presented. If Kate has to rely on high-sodium, MSG-laced ingredients in her recipes for flavoring, I have to question her qualifications to author a cookbook in the first place.

There wasn't anything new, creative or imaginative in this "cookbook", just very basic recipes that you can easily find on the internet; her recipes appear to be copied verbatim from recipe-sharing websites. Some of her recipes were vague on the quantity of ingredients, which indicates how amateurish this publishing endeavor was. I have yet to see a GOOD cookbook where several recipes do not list the exact amount for ingredients, so it appears there was no "testing" of these recipes.

This "cookbook" seems to be rehashed internet recipes along with rehashed old photos of her kids. It is a sordid attempt to stay relevant in the public eye and clearly a last-gasp attempt to cash in on the Gosselin name. 

-This book is full of unhealthy very basic recipes.Many are not original, contain canned ingredients and no exact measurement or crazy amounts of sodium, in some cases. Some recipes you can find on package backs or magazines. The photos of the family are ok, but not what you buy a cookbook for. The tips are basic and traditions have been seen before on the show Jon & Kate Plus Eight. I don't think the pictures represent the dishes either as there are ingredients not listed in the recipes at all.The book is just fraudulent in my opinion. 

Ouch!

Why did the cookbook fail so badly? Critics believe that people want to buy a cookbook from people that they know can actually cook, not celebrities with reality shows.  And people that are her fans on Twitter are into television and social media, not so much hanging out in teh kitchen cooking. So what is Kate to do now that her cookbook is a bust? Gosselin is looking for a new reality show with her eight children but so far no networks seem interested in teh Kate Plus 8 star. Kate is getting worried about how she will make a living and support her kids after her cookbook, which she was relying heavily on, failed miserably.

If she can't find a reality show to star in how will Kate be able to support her children? After the cookbook was a complete failure Kate Gosselin might have to get a real job.  Kate has a degree in nursing and it may be time to give up the Hollywood dream and go back to her old job. Kate's got eight kids that need to eat!
