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...

  • 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.
