Are you one of the people saying Kate Gosselin needs to stop appearing on TV, go out and get a regular job, and focus on raising her kids? If you are, then Kate has a message for you:

"It's not about an obsession with fame," Kate Gosselin tells People regarding her decision to join Dancing With The Stars. "It's about doing what provides for my family. Period."

She adds, "If I was financially able to provide for eight kids (twins Cara and Mady, 9, and sextuplets Aaden, Alexis, Collin, Hannah, Joel and Leah, 5) on my former salary as a nurse, I would do it…but that's not possible…I cannot rely on the fact that Jon will be there to help support the kids, so I approach it as if I am the sole provider."

That actually does make sense to me (especially the whole "cannot rely on... Jon" part). What about to you?

These pictures of Kate were taken last night, after her extensions were removed, when she and her 'Dancing with the Stars' partner Tony Dovolani went out to dinner. She still has to have the new extensions put in. How do you like her hair short?

And the sextuplets were photographed hanging out at home the day before yesterday.
