They don’t call her the Ice Madam for nothin’….The new season of Dancing With The Stars likely won’t put an end to Kate Gosselin’s reputation as a chilly and tough as nails Melrose Place supermeanie.

Gosselin is one of 12 C-list celebs who will be showing off their fancy footwork on the upcoming 10th season of DWTS, and show snitches tattle that the reality Octomom has gone out of her way to treat her fellow competitors with disrespect.

“Kate doesn’t want anything to do with other contestants . . . While there’s a lot of camaraderie among the crew and other stars including Pamela Anderson, Kate has set herself apart . . . She wants to be queen bee,” blabs one tipster.

Dancing With The Stars — featuring Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger, The Bachelor Jake Pavelka, and ex-Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson — premieres March 22 @ 8 PM on ABC.
