It looks as though Kate Gosselin is returning to television not because she wants the fame, but because she needs the paycheck. According to a new report, the celebrity mother-of-eight is looking to cash in on her upcoming TLC specials so she can continue to support her large family.

Gosselin, who divorced her ex-husband Jon Gosselin back in 2010, said in a new preview clip that if there were another way to earn enough to feed her family, she would rather do that than keep them on television.

According to The Hollywood Gossip on Saturday, she said, "This is just part of that. I look at it as my job and the kids are with me. They run in and out of the game, and we go to cool places sometimes."

If it weren't for the show, Gosselin adds that she "would be on an island, and so would my kids. You would never hear from us again."

Meanwhile, it's been revealed that Gosselin's ex-husband Jon Gosselin has reportedly been trying to "cash in" on her new TLC specials.

Although Jon is not appearing on the specials, he still thinks he deserves a paycheck because his eight children are on the show.

An insider close to the former reality stars told Radar Online last Friday, "Jon's trying to get a percentage of Kate's TLC salary for the new Kate Plus 8 specials."

Apparently, Jon is looking to cash in as he's had difficulty finding a job and income after having quit show business several years ago.

"He has no stable job, no steady income, and now he's trying to tell Kate that if she doesn't give him a cut of the money, he will claim the kids hate filming and they are being forced to do it," the source explained.
