Kate Gosselin has been house hunting in the Hollywood Hills

Kate Gosselin is certainly famous, and now the mom of eight and current “Dancing With the Stars” contestant wants to stay famous by making a move out west. Yep, the octomom is in the market for a house in Hollywood & a new agent, according to her pals, Popeater reports.

Kate Gosselin has been house hunting in the Hollywood Hills for a mansion big enough for her and her eight kids.

“Now that Kate has tasted the excitement of Hollywood, there is no way that she is going to return to Pennsylvania,” a friend of Kate’s tells. “She is looking at homes in the Hollywood Hills in gated communities in the $2 million range. Kate is insisting the properties she sees have a pool, at least six bedrooms, an outdoor hot tub and, bizarrely, a recording studio!”

And it’s not just a home that Kate has been looking for in Los Angeles. Sources tell she has been meeting with agents, managers and publicists.

“Kate wants to be a movie star,” one insider tells. “Kate thinks that after Jennifer Aniston’s last few films didn’t do so well, America needs a new girl next door. And who better to fill Jen’s shoes than Kate!”
