Kate Gosselin has officially joned the list of women that will be filling in for Elisabeth Hasselbeck on The View while she finishes out her maternity leave early this fall. Gosselin and her recently improved hairdo will be sitting in with Joy, Sheri and Whoopi on September 14th and 15th (if the show’s format has not changed, she’ll be there on Monday for the day of Hot Topics, which is my favorite hour of television all week), in part to promote the new season of Jon and Kate Plus 8.

While it doesn’t seem like there will be much for Kate to dish on that we haven’t heard before, I am more interested to hear her opinion on topics of the day than any of the other guests they have lined up to fill in. Meghan McCain, well, I find her a little bit difficult to take seriously and La Toya Jackson is only interesting if she’s willing to dish on Michael and the rest of her family. And just throwing it out there Bill Gedde, producer of The View: I am totally available. I’m wide-open for you, Bill. I can be there in like, twenty minutes.

Update: What I forgot to mention is that he is wasted. Perez has a funny take on Devito’s rantings. Why is it funnier when a little person is drunk?
