Will "Jon & Kate Plus 8" star Kate Gosselin attend Maria Shriver's annual women's conference, alongside Cindy McCain, Elizabeth Edwards and Katie Couric?

The Associated Press reports that Shriver sent an invitation to the reality TV star five months ago at the suggestion of her teenage daughters who watch the hit TLC show.

"I think [Kate’s] life has certainly changed dramatically, but so be it," Shriver told The Associated Press. "I think that's the beauty of this conference -- to have Madeleine Albright and Kate Gosselin at the same place."

California's first lady will host her annual conference in Long Beach this October, says the AP.

Gosselin was photographed on the Fourth of July holiday with her estranged husband Jon Gosselin -- marking the first time they were spotted together since their headline-grabbing split.

  • Kate Gosselin is definitely someone I would love to hear speak; she is handling the humiliation her soon to be ex has placed on the family extremely well and clearly is focused on being able to provide for her family.

  • Kate can share her droll story of how you can quit your job before you turn thirty, how to get everything you need for free, and how to travel anywhere on a whim. Maria Shriver should also invite "Octomom" so Kate and Nadia can swap stories. I am sure all the unemployed in California will find this very beneficial.

  • Kate Gosselin has no talent, ability or personality. She has nothing to offer at a conference. Her only fame is having had six babies at once.

  • Why is this women being treated like a celebrity??? She got married and had eight kids WHY is that so incredible??? She also got everything freeeeeeee so she and Jon didn't really suffer on that end regarding making ends meet. There are so many families in this world that are struggling with more than 8 kids. She is NOT the only women out there to have had sextuplets. In one article I read about her she was quoted as saying "society owes her for having eight children" just because she took fertility pills and didn't know the outcome of what would be. No one pryed her mouth open and poured those pills down her throat. Women everyday take fertitlity meds to get pregnant and the multiple births are the chance you take!! Now she feels she should be idolized for it! Give me a break!!!
