Kate Plus 8 Plus...Sarah Palin?

Kate Gosselin and her kids are taking a road trip to Alaska where they'll meet up with none other than Sarah Palin, according to In Touch Weekly, which quotes an unnamed source. "Sarah, Kate and the kids will go camping" and Palin's dad, a retired science teacher, will teach the kids about nature, the source says. Cable network TLC declined to comment on the possible Palin-Gosselin special, Lisa de Moraes of the Washington Post notes, though Gosselin has recently been snapped out and about in Anchorage, which is just 45 minutes from Wasilla.

And in "one of those extraordinary coincidences that makes covering TV so thrilling," she writes, don't forget that Palin is filming a TLC series herself. (More Kate Gosselin stories.)
