Kate Gosselin has sparked more rumors she has sought the help of a plastic surgeon to refresh her look.

The Kate Plus Eight star was spotted looking frozen-faced as she shopped for food near her home in Pennsylvania on Wednesday.

Her eyebrows appeared to have developed a much more defined arch and her forehead seemed smooth and waxy, both possible signs of Botox use.

Only last week, reports surfaced that the 35-year-old mother of eight may of undergone a secret boob job early last year around the time she separated from her husband of 10 years, Jon.

Insiders claimed that Steve Neild – the star’s bodyguard – drove his famous client to the doctor’s office when it allegedly took place on March 30, 2009.
However Kate dismissed surgery talk earlier this year, saying: ‘Plastic surgery? Please. Who has time to even think about it, let alone do it?’

But she’s not completely adverse to the idea of a going under the knife.

In 2007 Gosselin had a tummy tuck procedure, which was shown on her TLC reality show, Jon and Kate plus Eight.

One thing is for sure – the once dowdy blonde has given her wardrobe a serious update this year.

The star, who is still incredibly toned following her stint on Dancing With The Stars earlier this year, opted for a very racy look complete with white hot pants, a plunging top and black heels.

Perhaps Kate is hoping to attract a new man.

She was overheard outside the supermarket telling onlookers, ‘I am lonely. I do need help.’

Gosselin told In Touch Weekly magazine back in April that she ‘has no man in her life’, and admitted she was worried that no one will love her again.

The reality TV star talks about the inspiration behind her new book “I Just Want You To Know” and how she’s dealing with being active in children’s lives in Pennsylvania while also competing on “Dancing With The Stars” in Los Angeles. Kate will be back on TODAY tomorrow to get her reaction to criticism on starting production of another reality TV show. Also, after catching your post about John Tesh yesterday, I thought I’d pass along TODAY’s interview with Kitty Kelly in which she states that she knows who Oprah’s father is.

There’s already been drama along with the dips on this season’s “Dancing With the Stars”: Sources say that despite the lineup of known prima donnas like Shannen Doherty and Pamela Anderson, it’s Kate Gosselin who’s causing the trouble.

The worst of the reality TV mom’s antics? Her out-of-control tardiness.

“Kate shows up late for hair and makeup every time,” a show insider says of the rehearsals that led to Monday night’s opener, which drew a record-breaking 22.8 million viewers.

A rep for the ABC program says, “Kate is always on time and is a pleasure to work with,” but the insider begged to differ.

“The staff has warned her and lectured her about being late, but Kate just gets angry and blows them off,” says the source. “No one wants to deal with her.”

While such behavior may be expected from the notoriously short-fused Gosselin, the spy says the “Dancing” staff initially feared that former “Beverly Hills 90210″ star Doherty would be the troublesome hoofer.

“Everyone had heard the stories of Shannen’s behavior on sets when she was younger,” says the source. “But she’s been one of the easiest people to work with. She’s practically the opposite of Kate.”

The same can be said for their onstage performances. While Shannen did well on the show’s premiere, Kate tanked. In fact, the judges placed her third to last with a score of 16 out of 30, putting her just in front of 80-year-old former astronaut Buzz Aldrin.

It’s not just her pliés that Kate may be having trouble with. Our insider says the demographic she’s trying to impress just isn’t going to buy it.

“Kate tried to appeal to the housewife vote by saying, ‘This is for all the moms out there!’” sneers the source. “But really, what kind of mom leaves their kids at home for a dance competition?”

Kate has been snubbing other contestants and behaving frostily to crew members, sources say.

The recently divorced mom of eight has been rehearsing for the ABC show, which starts its new season March 22.

Her icy behavior also persuaded Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir to pull out of talks about being on the show because he didn’t want to work alongside Gosselin.

A “DWTS” source said, “Kate doesn’t want anything to do with other contestants . . . While there’s a lot of camaraderie among the crew and other stars including Pamela Anderson, Kate has set herself apart . . . She wants to be queen bee.” Gosselin’s rep didn’t get back to us.

A show source said, “She’s been rehearsing in Pennsylvania to be near her kids. For the short time she was in LA, she and the cast got along great.”
