It was a mere four years ago that Kate Gosselin was practically a household name, with a top-rated show, and wall-to-wall tabloid coverage during her nasty split with now-ex-husband Jon.

But four years later, the one-time TLC star has seen her star tumble, admitting to People she's "piecing and patching together" an income, two years after her show was booted off the air.

As we previously reported, some of Kate's pieces and patches have come in the form of a cookbook called Love Is In The Mix; as well as KatePlusMy8.com, a website showcasing her kids and promoting her projects.
