Report: 'Dancing With the Stars' Tony Dovolani can't stand Kate Gosselin
Put your surprise face on. "Dancing With the Stars" pro Tony Dovolani isn't all that fond of his difficult partner, Kate Gosselin. Shocker!A "DWTS" show insider tells Us that "he can't wait to get rid of her, even if it means losing early."
Oh, let us count the reasons why....
Gosselin is a terrible dancer. She's repeatedly been the butt of jokes for her awkward, robotic "dance" moves. But instead of admitting the obvious, she took aim at her pro partner, Tony Dovolani -- who makes a living teaching dance -- on national television, telling him he doesn't know how to teach.
But wait, there's more!
Her diva behavior has been in full force behind the scenes as well. One source says that during another heated practice session, Gosselin told Dovolani, "I'm the reason anyone knows your name ... so give me a break!"
Funny, those "Plus 8" kids could say the same thing to her.
But we're not done yet.
Evidently the reality TV mom makes her partner enter her home through the basement door. "She says it's quicker, but she's just showing him she's the boss," says a Gosselin source.
Dovolani has reportedly complained to producers about her unbearable antics, but we're guessing this season's sky-high ratings (which the tabloid-topping Gosselin has undoubtedly contributed to) trump this poor dancer's daily misery.
Good luck, Tony. And by "good luck," we mean we hope you get to go home soon!

what horse shti! I usually love stories like this but this whole story is about "he said she said" I hate that.
I've watched this show since it began, and Tony hasn't exactly come across as perfect himself!!! Give Kate a break. She is human after all.
I "Can't Stand Kate Gosselin" either. She's a lead footed, whiny, oaf. America loves a good train wreck.
Why is that ignorant piece of trash Kate Gosslin still on my tv anyway? GET HER OFF!!!! Boycott any sponsor of any show that even mentions this moron's name.
I love Kate. If you watched the show she did NOT tell him he couldn't teach, rather HE took it that way and stormed out of the dance room saying "I quit." Loser! What good teacher does THAT?
Kate didn't quit, she kept trying despite all the flack and judges negative comments. What Kate said to Tony when he said to her basically why aren't you getting this. Kate said she was trying to learn, but the lessons weren't reaching the way she learns.
Yeah, real teachers can tell you that people do have different learning styles. Good teachers try different methods and are patient. Tony is WAY more hotheaded and impatient than Kate and he shouldn't be as he is supposed to be a pro dance teacher.
LOVE KATE. TONY is arrogant and a poor teacher.
Kayley -- Your comment is ignorant. Kate is on your TV because you've turned the channel to watch her. No one is forcing you. Turn your TV off and presto! No more Kate on your TV.
Kate is on DWTS and just got 2 more new shows on TLC because she is neither a "piece of trash" nor a "moron." That's pretty mean and rude considering you don't know her and can simply NOT WATCH HER IF YOU DON"T WANT TO.
Kate has a big fan base and she's great. She may be an "oaf" on the dance floor, but she's trying to earn good money for her kids. She's also great for trying something new when it doesn't come easy to her. LOVE HER.
Actually, I think i knew Tony Dovolani's name before i knew Kate's!!
here is a picture of Kate --> :(
Why won't anyone tell me who the f**k Kate is?!
I know that she's married to some jack-a-$-$ name Jon and they have 8 kids..... still, who the fu*k is she?!
What makes her a celebrity?!!!
Tony CLEARLY tweeted that this artile is crap. Called it nonsense - said he didn't say what they claimed.
You're spreading slander refuted by the person involved.
Whenever an articles says "sources say..." and "an insider close to...", it usually is just lies. There's no specific quote that a specific person said. I know Kate can be difficult, but come on! If I wanted this kind of news, I'd get the National Enquirer.
