Kate Gosselin's poor showing as guest host on last week's The View - The Baltimore Sun called her "intellectually and verbally slow" - has cast doubt on her ability to play a major role in Mom Logic, the new chat and information series she's taping Sunday in New York.

Mom Logic will star Paula Deen, the Food Network superstar and proven TV personality. In addition to Kate Gosselin, other moms set for the pilot episode are Lee Woodruff, wife of ABC newsman Bob Woodruff, and former Early Show co-host Rene Syler.
The pilot is taping in the same New York studio that is the home to Martha Stewart and Tyra Banks' shows.
RadarOnline.com was the first to break the news about Kate's involvement with Mom Logic.
Paula is said to have the final say on who will ultimately be cast on the panel with her.
Kate is still under contract to TLC for Jon & Kate Plus 8 but she is anxious to eventually break away from anything that continues to tie her financially to her ex-husband. Mom Logic would be that break-away project.

But first, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively that Kate will be making an extra unscheduled guest hosting appearance on The View this week, taping another show to air Friday, with Kathy Griffin as a guest. And what makes this so special, Gosselin fans, is that Griffin opened the Creative Arts Emmys in Ed Hardy-wear saying, "I just banged Jon Gosselin."
Meanwhile, Kate's guest stint on The View this week was just a warm up for a full-time gig. And while Jon & Kate Plus 8 is still going strong on TLC, Kate is trading in Jon for a much more genteel partner, Southern cooking belle Paula Deen.

E! Online's Mark Malkin broke the news of Kate's new show this week and now RadarOnline.com has learned that the proposed pilot will contain a mix of advice, health and beauty tips and celebrity gossip geared toward moms and
moms-to-be. Expect multiple hosts to accompany Kate and Paula.

And guest hosting on The View has been good practice for Kate because the new show will be View-like in its approach and sources tell RadarOnline.com that a pilot will begin shooting later this month.
Deen has been shopping shows around for the past 5 years, "with no takers," says a source at a competing production company. Meanwhile, Gosselin has been busy taking meetings all over town (which town? c'mon people, LA, of course!) trying to pitch a talk show of her own. Industry sources say she’s cancelled upcoming meetings, another signal that the deal for her new show is in the final stages of completion.
