The news may be bad, but in the world of PR, it's all good news, even for alleged philanderer and father of eight, Jon Gosselin.

Especially when your lucrative TV show's new season is set to debut May 25th on TLC. 

Kate Gosselin hemmed and hawed her way through her appearance on CNN Larry King Live the other night, promoting her new book and her hit show, but not so much about all the photographic evidence splayed everywhere of husband’s alleged affair with a 23-year-old.

After the show, “Extra” caught up with the Jon & Kate Plus 8 matriarch in New York and asked her how she was going to celebrate her sextuplets’ birthday on Sunday. Before posing for some pictures, Kate answered, “Watch the show and you’ll see!” 

The new season of Jon and Kate Plus 8 premieres May 25th on TLC.

The mother of the eight vowed Thursday to survive the stories that are piling up presenting evidence her husband is seeing another on the sly.

“We just need to weather this storm, just like all the other storms that we’ve been through,” Kate Gosselin told TODAY’s Meredith Vieira in New York.

“It is so public. It’s one of the things we did not envision when we started our show,” Gosselin said. “It’s one of the things that comes with it — the tabloid stuff. To be very honest, I’m very hesitant to believe any of it. It comes with the territory. We’re dealing with it just like everybody else does.”
