'Jon and Kate Plus 8:' Kate Gosselin resurfaces with new hair dilemma

Kate Gosselin's hair is back in action.

Former "Jon and Kate Plus 8" star Kate Gosselin has been out of the news for a little while, but the reality TV mom is using an old standby to get back in the headlines: her hair. Kate stepped out to the supermarket on Monday, wearing a hat over what appeared to be some extremely wild blonde locks. Has Kate actually been keeping up her recent makeover, or did the time commitment make it too much trouble?

There have been rumors surrounding Kate's upcoming show with TLC, but what is probably the biggest surprise at this point is the complete lack of updates on the project. Where are the Kate sightings? The cameras haven't been recording much of anything that we know of, and her audience is likely declining by the day since casual fans are quick to forget stars gone by. Perhaps Jon and Kate Gosselin were just a trend for 2009.

While Kate stays out of the spotlight, Jon recently hit up the Sundance Film Festival with his new girlfriend, Morgan Christie. Kate's dating life, meanwhile, has been nonexistent, even though there have been talks of a dating show happening at some point in the future.

What do you think the change in Kate's hair represents? Check out the photo here and let me know your thoughts with a comment below.

    hahahahaha! Love that photo of ragged looking Kate. Life is tough caring for 8 kids. Welcome to the real world!

  • celebriocrity 2 years ago

    Kate is a no-talent fool who only wants fame and money. She's a "deeply religious" person who used science to get more kids than she needed, then dumped on the church who tried to help her. She deserves every bad thing that happens to her. Her kids don't which is the tragedy of her and her ex's short-sightedness

  • pepper 2 years ago

    kate is all about fame and money. it all about her.

  • JC 2 years ago

    It's quite impresive that the Kate haters are always reading about Kate and bloging about her, they truly must live for Kate! Or not have a life of their own....

  • Peggy 2 years ago

    So everybody has a bad hair day once in awhile. Give it a break folks. Kate is a beautiful woman and someone had talked her into having this long hair which I think was a bad choice. I really liked her hair the way they did it on the View.

  • Sylleeh 2 years ago

    So the single mom of 8 has a bad hair day. God bless her! Why is this news??

  • Kathy 2 years ago

    Leave Kate alone and let her live her life. She has to take care of her children, her ex surely won't!!!!!!

  • Weird People 2 years ago

    Cindy do you know how tough it is taking care of eight kids? I am sure you don't know how hard it is to be in Kates shoes... what a idot! And Kate has always been in the real world... Jon was not!

  • Wiz 2 years ago

    I don't know what the beef is, long hair looks like that, unless you are dressed for the Grammys. As for Kate being a pretty woman, it is far from that, Money has made her a pretty woman. check her out without makeup, not so hot. She has no qualities for a star, except for the fact wonderful makeup artists and hairstylist make her look good, hell they could make mother thresa look good.

  • Laverne 2 years ago

    LMAO!!! Bet Kate and TLC are regretting the gag order on Jon. They seemed to have disappreared since. There is more on Jon and nothing on her. Duh, as a mother of three when I go to the hairdresser I stress I need a low maintence cut because I don't have the time. Again, she wasn't thinking -- IT'S FOR MY KIDS. If that's all we have to hear about Kate and her bad hair days than I am happy. I wonder if the Kate lover were fans of the show or just the trainwreck?? I suggest you watch .... oh ya, even the reruns aren't on. Anyways, would you want your son, brother, uncle any man in your life treated they she treated Jon? I think he did the best he could living with a women with her disorders. My favorite espisode was when he took his boys our while he played golf. They were allowed to be children, if she were there she would have, no doubt, prohited them from playing, running, rolling and not being by her side. PLEASE KATE LOVERS WATCH AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHY HE LEFT!!

    Hopefully Kate and her eight kids can make another TV show with TLC without Jon soon! I love her kids!

  • hailrymarie 2 years ago

    I think Kate cares more about he family than her hair. So what if her hair is a mess sometimes,At least she's not like Jon who doesn't give a crap about his family,sleeps with any one who will let him (of course they must be able to support him) & Jon's hair always looks like crap,just like the rest of him.

  • sue 2 years ago

    JC-- The people you call Kate haters actually care about what she has done to her children, not her. And when they see what has happened to this family the blame can be put at her doorstep and hers alone. While yes it was her and her ex who entered into an agreement with the network, it was Jon who put a halt to the nonsense. She would still be filming it if it had been left up to her, thank goodness it's not.
    She is a nitwit who is all about greed and selfishness.

  • Kate 2 years ago

    OMG> NOT one of you have ever had a bad hair day. I'm glad that there are so many perfect people in the world who can judge Kate.

  • Sarah 2 years ago

    It just looks like her hair was being blown by the wind...no big deal. Or, maybe it was hat hair!!!

  • Irene 2 years ago

    Kate looks like Raggedy Kate divorced from Andy.

    She is going nowhere without her children making a living for her.

  • kate 2 years ago

    Honestly Kate pretty much ruined her life. She got so caught up in the fame and the fortune and now its all gone. No more crews and interviews and trips. Now she's all alone at her house and she could have prevented it. Maybe she should have spent more time trying to fix her marriage rather than become famous. Your paying for it now aren't you Kate! Those poor kids!

  • Ruth 2 years ago

    Kate does not have talent -- her only talent was her children. She needs to live a normal life and stay out of the media for the sake of her children. As someone put it, the so-called Kate haters don't hate Kate actually. They intensely dislike the way she has allowed her children to be caught in her and Jon's troubles. She has come across to many as being very selfish and attention-seeking. I used to admire her, but now I have lost all respect for her. How can anyone feel sorry for someone who spends 7 grand on hair extensions that need to be refreshed regularly?

  • Ruth 2 years ago

    I just want to add. So many well-meaning people feel sorry for Kate. Oh, what will she do for money now? Oh please! She has money up the ying-yang. This woman is not the innocent sweet woman that some portray her to be.

  • anything for attention 2 years ago

    One month she is crying on T.V. that she doesn't have enough money to pay for the all of the bills she has in her gucci purse, and the next month she she comes out with a $7,000 new hair do???

  • Cindy 2 years ago

    Yes weirdo people I do know how hard it is to take care of 8 kids. Unfortunately she lost all my sympathy when she continued to treat her husband like a piece of dirt in front of millions of people. Jon used to do almost everything for her. He was like a puppet on a string. Whenever she called ( i should say yelled) he ran to her. While she was tanning and getting her nails done he was with the kids.While she was roaming around the country on tours he was with the kids. She screwed herself real good. I don't condone him cheating on her but she asked for it big time. She distanced herself from her own mother and father. Now it's payback time.

  • Travis Blickenstaff 2 years ago

    You know, Kate and john has been on tv SO what... We all wish that we would be one day, people just have something to talk about. If they never would have been on TV they would not be talked about. Kate is going through here thing and Joh is as well... People STEP off and let them LIVE there lifes!!!

  • marty 2 years ago

    at least Kate is taking care of her children, and thats more than you can say for Jon. He didn't want his children on TV but he sure enjoys spending all the money they brought in. Jon is a "big" joke and should just go away. Kate is not perfect but she hasn't done anything to shame her children like Jon has - he is a loser.

  • evelyn 2 years ago
