Timing is everything. The new season of Jon and Kate Plus Eight is about to start. Kate Gosselin’s new book Eight Little Faces was just released. How do you insure both will be blockbusters? With a wee bit of good old fashioned gossip and scandal. Now, I’m not saying that the recent rumors of trouble in the Gosselin’s paradise was planned, but the timing of it will surely be financially fortuitous.

Interestingly, with all the covers stories, TV interviews and countless web pages dedicated to the Gosselin clan, Kate is still under the delusion she is just a “normal mom” living a normal life. Yeah right.

Kate recently told Larry King - who’s so not in the business of interviewing ‘normal moms’ - about her marriage, “…we are a couple, we are a family who didn't set out to live, you know, the celebrity lifestyle.  We are living our lives like a normal family.  Cameras come in and film us.  And that, to the world -- to the public, makes us celebrities. I do not like that word.  I am not a celebrity....I am a mom and a wife.” Yes a mom and wife who happens to have a best selling book, a popular TV show and who’s mug is on the cover of pert near every tabloid in the land.

Here are 5 ways Jon and Kate are not like us.
