''I put myself on a reality show, but I did not do anything that would put me in the tabloids.'' Thus spake Kate Gosselin on Monday night's TLC special ''Kate: Her Story.''
At this point, if you transcribed all of Kate Gosselin's TV interviews, their total length would probably exceed that of ''David Copperfield'' and ''Bleak House'' combined, with descriptions of teary pluck and children under duress that might well have made Charles Dickens sob in envy of so much drama parceled out in serialized form for profit.
Certainly, TLC can never complain that Kate has not fulfilled her contract. (''I'm a rule-follower,'' she said of her TV commitment this night.) Left with a few weeks to fill the 9pm-Monday void of no new ''Jon & Kate Plus 8'' episodes, she and the cable network enlisted Natalie Morales to be a soothing enabler (''Would you like to set the record straight?'') and prodding inquisitor (''Many think you're selfish'') for a few hours.
Meanwhile, backstage, Kate was busy trying out some new gray eye-liner that made her look as though she'd rubbed the ashes of her burned-out soul onto her eyelids.
''Kate: Her Story'' -- TLC apparently didn't have the nerve to go with its first choice, ''Kate Gosselin and the Chamber of Secrets'' -- was a story of isolation in the midst of so many little vital lives. Kate's contact with her own parents is limited to, ''Well, we e-mail.'' She communicates with husband Jon via ''texting… notes… phone calls, only where it relates to the kids.'' She feels lonely: ''When you look around and very close, trusted people you'd swear on your life would never 'cash you in,' for lack of better words, when people leave your house and tell completely different stories, you tend not to trust people.''
