(Newser) – Kate Gosselin is cashing in on her fame—or infamy—as quickly as possible. She and co-host Paula Deen are shooting the pilot of their proposed talk show this weekend, Radar reports. The show, based on popular website Mom Logic, will be a mash-up of advice, health and beauty tips, and an issue Kate should be an expert on—celebrity gossip.

Radar adds that other hosts are likely to join the project. Comedian Sandra Bernhard and Tammy Lynn Michaels, who is married to Melissa Etheridge, are in the running.
