Kate + 8 camping with SARAH PALIN?

According to Examiner.com

Kate Gosselin is in Alaska with her eight children and will go camping with former Alaska governor Sarah Palin. Wow, politics -- and reality tv -- certainly do make strange bed (or in this case, tent) fellows!

"Sarah, Kate and the kids will go camping," a source told InTouch, adding that Palin's father, a retired science teacher, and brother, a third-grade instructor, will provide a natural history lesson for Gosselin's 9-year-old twins Mady and Cara, and 6-year-old sextuplets Aaden, Joel, Collin, Leah, Hannah and Alexis.

Palin, who's the mother of five (and grandmother to daughter Bristol's son, Tripp), is looking forward to meeting Kate. "She's excited because it will be fun and educational for the children," says the source. "Sarah will even teach Kate how to avoid bears!"

On July 20, the Gosselins visited the Alaska Zoo, where they checked out a petting zoo, a polar bear exhibit and observed a wolf pack.

SARAH AND KATE ARE BOTH AVID RUNNERS

While the rendez-vous may sound bizarre, Palin, 46, and Gosselin, 35, have more in common than people may realize. First, both are hot mamas with large families. Second, both women are fitness fanatics who run to stay fit.

"Running is my sanity," Sarah has said. Palin routinely ran 7 to 10 miles almost every day but switched to aerobics classes when she became pregnant with her fifth child, Trig (who was born in 2008). After his birth, Palin worked her way back up to running three miles every other day.

Kate, who's now skinner than ever, credits running for keeping her mentally and physically sharp. "I run to get away," she says. "I enjoy the pain and accomplishment of running five miles up and down hills each day."

PALIN'S REALITY SHOW TO AIR ON TLC THIS SUMMER

Another huge commonality between Sarah and Kate is that both are reality tv stars. Sarah is launching her own reality show on TLC (the same channel that airs Kate's shows, Kate Plus 8 and Twist of Kate).

Palin will reportedly earn over $1 million per episode for the eight-part series exploring the natural beauty of Alaska. It will be produced by Mark Burnett (who created Survivor and Celebrity Apprentice). Her program, Sarah Palin's Alaska, is expected to air later this summer.
