"What Hollywood makeover?\r\nSequined gowns and pricey hair extensions be damned, Kate Gosselin says she hasn&amp;apos;t changed much in the past several months.\r\nIn her Discovery blog post published on Tuesday, the 35-year-old  admits that her eight kids have been confused by glamorous new images of their mom for Dancing with the Stars and other projects.\r\n\r\nShe writes: &amp;quot;My little critics excitedly look at the pictures, tilt their heads to the side and say, in a very perplexed manner, &amp;apos;Mommy? Is that you?&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\nGosselin&amp;apos;s answer: &amp;quot;Yep. It&amp;apos;s me. Under all that glitz. It&amp;apos;s the same old dirty T-shirt-and-sweat-pants-wearing, barking-orders, cooking-in-the-kitchen, frazzled me.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe single mom and former nurse from Wernersville, Penn. won&amp;apos;t be leaving the airwaves anytime soon, though: her TLC series Twist of Kate premieres later this year, and her kids are slated to appear in separate specials also planned for the cable network. The reality star -- who has pitched in on The View and Entertainment Tonight -- recently told Access Hollywood&amp;apos;s Billy Bush that she&amp;apos;d love to do &amp;quot;co-hosting&amp;quot; on TV in the future, too.\r\n\r\nStill, she says, &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s really fun to play &amp;apos;dress up,&amp;apos; as my 5 year olds call it, but when the day is said and done, I&amp;apos;m always right back at home, cooking dinner, cleaning it up, packing lunches, giving baths and overseeing homework!&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Thanks, kids,&amp;quot; she adds in her blog. &amp;quot;You keep me in the real world ... exactly where I belong!&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
