Kate Gosselin tried to keep the topic on "Dancing with the Stars" when she co-hosted "The View" today -- but that didn't stop Sherri Shepherd from trying to pry some personal dirt outta her.
A re-weaved Kate was asked how involved Jon Gosselin is with their kids -- both personally and financially -- and, well, it sounds like he's got half of it down.

Kate Gosselin will practice her dance moves for "Dancing with the Stars" one flight below her brood -- in the basement.
Kate says she'll be practicing her moves in a newly-converted dance studio in the basement of her home -- so she can be close to her kids. And a source tells us "Dancing with the Stars" is footing the bill for the makeshift studio.
Kate's dancing partner, Tony Dovolani, will go to Kate's home for practice.
Kate, we're told, will only be in L.A. two days a week, for the taping. When she's in La La Land, her kids will stay in PA with a nanny.
Our source says Kate told the "Dancing" folks, she's doing the show "because she's a single mom trying to make money."

TMZ has learned Jon Gosselin's apartment in New York City was 'ransacked' -- and the alleged culprit left a note behind with his ex girlfriend's name on it.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ when Jon returned to his pad today, his television was missing and some of his pillows had been sliced up.
Sources say a note was left behind with Hailey Glassman's name signed at the bottom -- but we're told someone else could have easily signed her name on it. The apartment is actually listed under both Gosselin and Glassman's name.
We're told Jon is filing a complaint with police.
UPDATE: Get this ... our sources say there was knife stuck through the note that was left behind -- and whoever wrote it called Jon a "cheater."

TMZ has learned ... It's official -- Jon & Kate Gosselin are divorced.
Judge Arthur Tilson has signed the final papers, making Jon and Kate officially single.
Mark Momjian, Kate's lawyer, tells TMZ, under the agreement, "Our client will continue to reside with all eight of her children in the former marital home."
As for Kate, she says, "I am very relieved that our divorce has been finalized, and I look forward to the New Year, focusing on our children." Kate calls the divorce "challenging," and says she will now focus on "restructuring our lives."
A rep for Jon tells us, "While the arbitration proceedings are still a work in progress, Jon and Kate will remain binded in their commitment to their eight wonderful children. Jon is confident that he and Kate will be able to move forward in a fashion that will be in the best interest of the Gosselin family."
As for who got what, Momjian simply says, "We are very pleased with the final outcome."
Judge Tilson inked the docs after the arbitrator came down with his ruling on how Jon and Kate's property will be divided.

Jon and Kate Gosselin's divorce is heading to a conclusion, after a contentious day Saturday at the arbitration table. We've learned even Jon isn't contesting that Kate should get primary custody and a decision on who gets what in the money department will be handed down within 30 days.
Sources tell us the two issues on the battlefield are the distribution of assets and child support. In Pennsylvania, the courts award "equitable" distribution when it comes to property, but that doesn't necessarily mean 50/50.
Sources tell us neither party asked for spousal support.
We're told Jon and Kate actually agreed to the amounts certain items were worth, but they were far apart on issues relating to how the assets should be distributed.
The arbitration was supposed to last two days -- today and Monday -- but it all got handled on Saturday.
Both Jon and Kate testified in the arbitration. The decision of the arbitration is binding on both of them.

Jon Gosselin has fired back at TLC ...attacking the network that's trying to get an injunction prohibiting him from making dough on shows other than TLC.
Gosselin wants the contract he made with TLC declared invalid on grounds it's unconscionable -- translation: Jon had no lawyer or manager when he sat down with TLC and inked the deal.
The best part -- Gosselin refers to himself as "an unsophisticated father of eight." He claims the deal was so bad ... he and his family only pulled in $2,000 an episode at the beginning. That's $200 a head.
Gosselin also claims TLC violated child labor laws.
Gosselin claims if TLC gets the injunction he'll be "unable to earn a living as a television personality, and therefore be precluded from supporting his eight children, whereas Plaintiff (TLC) currently has its show on 'indefinite hiatus.''
What Jon didn't say in his legal response -- how he'll deal with TLC's claim that he derailed the show by mounting what the network believes is a phony objection. If a judge buys TLC's claim it could cost Jon millions in damages.
And TLC wants Jon to cough up all the loot he made by selling his life to all the shows and websites over the last few months.

Former Star Magazine reporter Kate Major -- who insisted she was romantically involved with Jon Gosselin -- is next in line to testify in TLC's breach of contract case against the famous reality dad.
TLC's lawyers have asked the court for permission to serve Kate with a subpoena, ordering her to testify along with other witnesses -- including Michael Lohan and Hailey Glassman -- in depositions scheduled for December 10.
Kate reportedly quit her job at Star Magazine to pursue a relationship with Jon. Last we checked, the Octopop denied ever having a relationship with her.

Jon Gosselin and Octomom may be starring in an upcoming reality show from hell -- but the show's producers are convinced the "two biggest media sensations of our generation" are the next John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
TMZ obtained a copy of the pitch for "Jon - Kate = Jon + Octomom" which reads: "Mohammed and the Mountain started a religion. Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris started a Yankee dynasty. Lennon and McCartney started a music revolution. Now Jon and Octomom start a whole new reality in the world of Reality TV."
The pitch claims the show's so revolutionary it will rival "American Idol" in the ratings, but "there will be no rival in the shocking nature of this pairing."
As for Israel and Palestine? The producers think the show might give hope to the two warring nations -- which makes sense, because the enemy of your enemy is always your friend.

UPDATE: The MJ Show just posted the email exchange they had with Gosselin's rep. Click here to read it.
Jon Gosselin sincerely believes his time and energy is worth somewhere around $12,000-per hour -- because that's how much he's demanding to appear on a Florida radio show.
TMZ spoke with the host of Tampa's MJ Morning Show who told us he contacted Gosselin's rep in the hopes of booking the reality star to guest co-host the show for one morning.
The radio show offered two first class round trip plane tickets, limo service and a "first class" hotel room -- but that wasn't enough to seal the deal.
Gosselin's rep requested an "appearance fee ... in the 10-12K range."
Team Gosselin justified the amount by saying, "[Jon's] name and appearance on your show will instantly draw press ... and will be a high point for the show." The rep also describes Gosselin as "quite funny, sharp witted and interesting."
The radio host tells us he "fell out of his chair" when he read the demand. Looks like Jon will have to go back to "Entertainment Something" to lock down that kind of money.

Kate Gosselin tells TMZ she is "disturbed" by reports that Jon has hacked into her emails and other personal accounts.

The rep continues, "Under the circumstances, Ms. Gosselin is carefully considering all of her legal options regarding this matter, and she will pursue them if and when the time is right."

TMZ has learned Jon Gosselin has been ordered to return $180,000 in marital funds, which were removed in violation of an arbitrator's order.
According to Kate's lawyer, Mark Momjian, "The remaining sum of $55,000, which Ms. Gosselin used for household bills and expenses relating to the children, will be subject to further determination by the arbitrator at a later date."
Jon is required to repay the loot by October 26 -- the next hearing -- or appear before the judge for a contempt proceeding.
The judge also ordered Kate to provide an accounting of past expenses -- also due by Oct. 26.
Kate says, "As difficult as this has been for me, I am pleased that the Court has ruled fairly on behalf of myself and my children. Now that this matter has been ruled on, I look forward to returning to private arbitration, as we have agreed to do, to resolve any remaining issues."

Under the category, "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished" ... the lawyer who stepped in to vouch for Jon Gosselin's attorney has some deep regrets today, over a case he says is "so insignificant to me."
As we first reported, attorney Michael Marino was contacted by Jon's lawyer, Mark Heller, asking for help to get admitted to the Pennsylvania Bar on a one-time-only basis. Marino tells TMZ he had never met or spoken with Heller before and thinks Heller randomly pulled his name out of a legal directory.
Marino says he agreed to do a solid for Heller and sponsor him so Heller could get permission from the judge to rep Jon.
Marino says at the time, he had no idea who Jon and Kate Gosselin were -- "The names didn't mean anything to me," Marino said, adding, "I thought it was some simple divorce case where some lawyer wanted to be introduced to the court."
Marino, who is semi-retired, says "I don't watch that kind of junk on TV. It was so insignificant to me." Marino told us when he realized the divorce was a contested mess, he wanted out, and it had nothing to do with the fact that Heller had been suspended by the New York State Bar for a variety of misdeeds.
Heller withdrew his sponsorship this past Thursday. The ball's in your court, Mark.
