Reality TV catfight! According to the Hot Stuff buzz from Us Weekly Magazine this week Kate Gosselin is no fan of Jill Zarin of The Real Housewives of New York City and during one recent charity event went diva and refused to even shake her hand. Also in the line of fire from Gosselin, according to the magazine out today, Hairspray star Nikki Blonsky.

Details from Us: "The ice wasn’t the only thing that was frosty at the September 26 Stars, Stripes & Skates fundraiser in Danbury, Connecticut. When Jon & Kate Plus 8 star Kate Gosselin, 34, learned Jill Zarin, 45, of The Real Housewives of New York City was a cohost at the 9/11 ice -skating benefit.

The magazine has this quote, "She refused to get ready with the other stars and demanded to be put in another building,” the source says. “And when they ran into each other backstage, Kate looked Jill up and down and refused to shake her hand.”
So - why the chilly reception? Us explains Zarin shared a meal in Southampton, New York, with Gosselin’s estranged husband, Jon, in July. Still, Gosselin’s bad attitude wasn’t reserved for Zarin. Hairspray star Nikki Blonsky, 20, was blocked by Gosselin’s security from entering the bathroom when the mom of eight was inside. Though Zarin tells Us she has “no problem” with Gosselin, she adds, “I was shocked she would snub Nikki. It was appalling.”
