Kate’s new show will feature a mix of advice, health and beauty tips plus celebrity gossip. She and Mel B both have a common bond of very public, and heartbreaking, breakups.

Mel B endured a headline-making split from Eddie Murphy, who questioned his paternity of their child. A DNA test later proved he is the father, but not before he went on national TV and slammed her.
We’re sure Kate will empathize with that, especially after Jon’s recent appearances, telling the world he “despises” her.

The show had planned on booking Christie Brinkley as one of the first guests but a rep for the beautiful star says she will not be appearing on the pilot.

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.

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.
