Kate Gosselin’s crying tears of loneliness

Even before she was booted from “Dancing With the Stars” Tuesday night, seeing Kate Gosselin in tears had become a common occurrence.

Was the crying something she was doing for sympathy? Was it a failed attempt to garner votes to keep her on “DWTS”?

Skeptics would like to think so, but according to a friend of the mom/reality star, that’s not the case. Really, Gosselin is feeling pretty alone these days.

“She’s lonely, unhappy and doesn’t really know who in the world she can trust,”  a Gosselin friend told In Touch Weekly. “Her emotions are getting the best of her.”

And her emotions were amplified by the exhaustion that comes from traveling between her home in Pennsylvania and the show in Los Angeles, which resulted in her being less-than-personable at times while taping the show. In fact, the magazine alleges that Gosselin’s mood has resulted in an upsetting on-set nickname, too: “Hate Gosselin.”

Pre-elimination, another source said that Gosselin is just doing the best she can. “She’s juggling a lot right now, and doesn’t have the time to bond (with other contestants) like the people living and taping the show in L.A.,” said the source. “She’s a working mom.”

Perhaps now that she’s been eliminated from the competition, we’ll see fewer tears.

Bullock reportedly doubting divorce decision
Slideshow: Celebrity Sightings Sandra Bullock was finally photographed April 16 in Northern California, looking fairly somber and noticeably without her wedding ring. (March 17 was the last time Bullock was seen in public before this.)

Although it may seem that Bullock is making a public statement by leaving the ring behind, Us Weekly reports that the actress has doubts about leaving husband Jesse James.

“Sandra would have stayed with Jesse had his cheating not been made public,” a Bullock source told the magazine. “They would have worked out their issues.”

This weekend at the Dipdive and Blackberry Coachella Oasis, Panettiere and Morton arrived together. But according to an eyewitness, as soon as they walked inside, they parted ways. Morton mingled with the men at the Guys and Dolls satellite lounge and Panettiere stuck to the pool and hung out with girlfriends.

According to the eyewitness, “They look very happy together, but it’s definitely not romantic. They look like old friends.”

Also at the Coachella Oasis were Kristin Cavallari, Abbie Cornish and Morton's ex, Lindsay Lohan.
