I literally had to do a double take when I passed by the tabloid section at the supermarket. The headline read, “New Look for Kate Gosselin”, but could that be her?

The picture splashed across People Magazine’s January issue looks more like a photoshoot for one of Hollywood’s newest starlets. But, it is in fact, Kate Gosselin. It appears she is attempting to start her life over, a life without hubby Jon Gosselin, and she starts with this awesome makeover and an interview with People.

“It’s good to have hair again,” Kate tells People. “I never thought I’d have short hair for as long as I did. I feel like this is a fresh start, a fresh me, a fresh life.”

Later in the interview, she refers to herself as the new “Kate Clean Slate.”

“I’m rebuilding. There’s no option for this not to be a good year. Now I get to start over with a new self and new goals.”
