(Newser) – While her soon-to-be ex-husband tomcats around and waxes poetic about how he'd like to have a 9-to-5 job, Kate Gosselin told Larry King last night that she's "lonely," but "too busy" to date. When prodded further about potential beaus eying the size of her brood, she responded, "I'm not really worried about it," People reports.

But messy divorces aside, Gosselin says the show must go on: "Myself and the kids will continue the show," she said. "I signed my name to a contract and I am going to do my best to make that work as long as it is healthy and safe for myself and the kids."
