You're watching multisource entertainment news analysis from Newsy.

She’s a single mother of 8. She just lost her glamorous TV job. So what’s next? Find a new job? Save up? Apparently, it’s freak out -- if you’re Kate Gosselin.
Here’s E! News.

“For six years and through one nasty divorce from ex Jon, Kate’s been able to count on a network paycheck to take care of her kiddies. She tells People magazine on stands Friday ‘I’m freaking out..BIG TIME’ now that the series is coming to an end. Gosselin admits her children weren’t ready to give up their time on the tube… Nobody was she said. I’ve never quit a job in my life without having something else lined up. I don’t know what’s next.

Access Hollywood quotes Kate as saying-- she shudders at the thought of working as nurse again and hopes to stay in the limelight.
But ex-husband Jon says it’s time to come back to reality.

“Reality TV is not a career. Get back to a normal life — a simple life. Provide for your family. Go from there.” (Rumor Fix)

Normal? Simple? Not likely, says a writer for the Philadelphia Inquirer, judging by the TLC show’s finale.

“But the dynamic that made the show compelling viewing was Kate’s overwhelming narcissism. It was all about her and how she was reflected in the mirror of the TV camera. Everyone else – her husband, even her children – existed only as planetoids orbiting in her light.”

On NBC’s Today Show, Kate argues-- she is not your average parent. Her kids deserve more than what her ex-hubby considers acceptable.

KATE GOSSELIN: “Well it's a situation where Jon may be accepting of mediocre for his kids and working a regular job. I want the best for my kids and the best opportunities, not unlike every parent.”

TMZ says, if the best for your kids includes a $50,000 coupe, then Kate is right on track.

“She got an Audi TT, which is like a 2 seater car. Why would you get a car, you can’t take any of your kids with you. So dumb.”

But for any perceived faults, a writer for The A.V. Club just hopes Mama Gosselin can find some income for, you know, her eight children.

“I really do hope there’s some tender-hearted CEO with a cable network to program who can find an excuse to stick her and her brood on the air in some low-traffic time slot where she can’t do much harm. … she should end up standing on a median strip, holding up a handlettered cardboard sign that reads, ‘WILL YELL AT MY KID TO GET HER FINGER OUT OF HER NOSE, FOR FOOD!’”
