Kate Gosselin got out of the house to have some fun on the catwalk, and it was for a good cause, no less! Kate participated in celebrity stylist Derek Warburton‘s event Real Fashion, Real Women, a benefit for the New York-based charity, Bottomless Closet. Derek admitted not everyone was thrilled about Kate’s participation.

“We have all been in Twitter wars about Kate. They were attacking us for having her in the show. I responded saying, ‘Listen, we are not paying her. She is doing this out of the goodness of her heart.’ What’s remarkable is every time we get a nasty tweet about Kate, she writes and apologizes. She doesn’t care about the haters, but she cares about us, the charity. She must have apologized to me five times for what people say about her.”

Derek said his people reached out to Kate, not the other way around. I know not everyone’s crazy about Kate, but what’s all the fuss about? She looks great, at least!
