'I'm not a money-hungry bitch,"Kate Gosselin"

Kate Gosselin has denied suggestions that she is "money-hungry" and desperate for fame.

The reality star mum insisted that she has earned all of her success and fortune via hard work and dedication, and said that cash is not a priority in her life, though she does find the stigma frustrating at times.

Gosselin told The Huffington Post: "The biggest misconception is that I'm a money-hungry bitch. My friends come and tell me. They can't take it.

"I have to tell them, just ignore it, don't read it. You know it's not true. I am very driven, very type-A, very hard-working, very perfectionist. Every single person with that personality is accused of being self-absorbed, snobby and horrible. A bad impression is given because you are so driven. My mind is on the finish line."

However, Gosselin went on to say that people tend to understand her better once they actually get to know her, adding: "I really have to tell you, I enjoy the challenge of meeting people personally and changing their opinion of me."

Gosselin has expressed interest in pursuing other television projects in the future, though she has remained tight-lipped regarding her plans.

I'm waiting for Mr Right

Kate Gosselin has reportedly dismissed speculation that she is romantically involved with her bodyguard, insisting that she is single.

The mother-of-eight, who divorced husband Jon last year, told People that ongoing rumours about her relationship with bodyguard Steve Neild were false.

"It's just absurd. I'm waiting for Mr. Right. It would be nice if somebody noticed me, sure!" she said.

The 35-year-old - who posed in her bikini for the magazine cover - was also forced to deny allegations about her relationship with Neild last month when the bodyguard accompanied her on a trip to North Carolina with her children.

At the time, her representative told GossipCop that Gosselin "is very good friends with the Neild family" and any rumours to the contrary were "complete untrue".

Kate Gosselin Wants Primary Custody

In yet another instance of family-related drama, Kate Gosselin has finally lost her patience with ex-husband Jon and wants primary custody of their eight kids.

According to a source, the “Jon and Kate Plus 8” mommy is worried for her children’s welfare and doesn’t want them spending time with their dad.

“Kate finally just snapped! Jon makes no secret of his boozing, and there have been reports about him using cocaine and marijuana.”

“Jon seems to think having fun and partying is more important than being a good dad. She said, ‘Jon’s behavior sickens me. I’ve had enough!’ She wants primary custody of the kids — NOW!”

Kate Gosselin: Suing For Primary Physical Custody

Making a quick response to her ex-husband's headline-grabbing actions, Kate Gosselin has announced plans to sue Jon Gosselin for primary physical custody of their eight children.

Saying that she doesn't get enough time with her brood, Miss Gosselin tells, "I am not willing to comment in public on the custody discussions regarding my children."

The former TLC reality star adds, "What I will say is this: I am and always will be a mother first, but as a single working mom, I will do everything necessary to provide for my kids despite the opinions of others."

The statement comes after Jon chastised Kate for being too caught up with her "Dancing with the Stars" duties, as his lawyer told, "He wants equal say with custody, equal time, but if the circumstances remain as they are, with Kate being rarely home, Jon wants primary custody of the children."
