Slow ticket sales or are organizations seeing the sham?

Kate Gosselin appearance at Ronald McDonald House fundraiser postponed

An appearance by Kate Gosselin, scheduled for Saturday in Hershey, has been postponed indefinitely.

The mother of the Gosselin sextuplets and a set of twin girls, had been scheduled to speak at the Milton Hershey School's Catherine Hall in a fundraiser for the Ronald McDonald House.

Kate Gosselin and her husband, Jon, used the Ronald McDonald House facility after their sextuplets were born in the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. She had been scheduled to appear to raise funds for an expansion of the Ronald McDonald House, which serves as a home away from home for families of patients in the medical center.

A spokeswoman for the house said the fundraiser was canceled because the confirmation of Kate Gosselin's appearance came too late to give the organization a chance to properly promote the event. Tickets were being sold for $45, $35 and $25. She said ticket sales were slow, a fact she attributed in part to the event falling on Memorial Day weekend.

The Gosselins, who star in the TLC reality show, "Jon and Kate Plus Eight," have been the subject of rumors of infidelity. Jon Gosselin, who was photographed with a 23-year-old school teacher, called the photo unfortunate, but not proof of infidelity. Last week, Kate Gosselin told People magazine she was horrified by rumors that she was having an affair with her family's bodyguard.

The spokeswoman for the Ronald McDonald House said the decision to postpone the appearance came from Hershey and not from the Gosselins.

Let's just be really honest here. As one commenter stated, "late confirmation" and slow ticket sales mean no one wants to see her sorry ass. I applaud HMS for cancelling this appearance. Hopefully they never reschedule. Who the hell would want to pay one thin dime to see this stupid selfish witch pedal her children and her orange ass for cash?
