Kate Gosselin Resolves to Find a Man in 2011

Dec. 28, 2010— -- It's that time of year when celebrities and mere mortals resolve to be better, do better.

For celebrities ending the year single, 2011 represents a fresh start for romance. Just ask Kate Gosselin. Popeater's Rob Shuter told ABC News that the single mom of eight has resolved to "find a new man" next year.

Earlier in the year, Shuter spoke to a Gosselin confidant who told him, "She thinks she is a fantastic catch. Not only does she think she has never looked better, Kate also now has a ton of money. As far as she's concerned, there is nothing not to like. She's beautiful, rich and thinks of herself as very easy to get along with."

We'll have to wait and see if Gosselin's New Year's resolution comes true. Meantime, Kim Kardashian has vowed to stay single in 2010. Since her breakup with NFL star Reggie Bush, Kardashian has been linked to Halle Berry's ex Gabriel Aubry, singer John Mayer and current flame New Jersey Nets star Kris Humphries.

But she told Rachael Ray that after turning 30, she's ready to take a break from relationships. "I want to try to be single my whole year of being 30," Kardashian said on Ray's Show. "I've never just dated and done whatever I wanted."

Just as most resolutions get broken within weeks of the new year, Kardashian acknowledges that she may not stick to her pledge.

"I've made a promise to myself and I'm really trying hard to stick to it, but I'm such a hopeless romantic that it's hard," she explained. "I don't think that's going to last because that's just how I am. But the fact that I'm trying is a big step for me."

Here's some other promises celebrities have made for the coming year:

Selena Gomez

Life is good for 18-year-old Disney singing and acting sensation Selena Gomez, who's rumored to be dating Justin Bieber. No surprise then that her wish for 2011 is to have more of the same.

"I hope to continue to do what I love," she told ABCNews.com. "I love my job. Next year I'm doing my first headlining tour, so I'm very excited to design it and sketch it out and wear fun costumes. So, I don't know -- I hope it's a good year."

Emme

The pioneering plus-size model vows to enjoy her present life more.

"My one New Year's Resolution is be present, not to fall back into the past or get tripped up with what the future can bring," she told ABCNews.com. "To be in the here and now with my family, friends and professional life."

Deepak Chopra

Rather than make just one annual resolution, the spiritual guru takes inventory of his life every few months.

"I take stock every three or four months," he told the Los Angeles Times. "Every four months or so, I take a week off to be in total silence, to look back and see what I should be looking at in the future. For me, it would be a quarterly ritual."

As for that annual tradition of making a resolution: "I think no one ever keeps them, so a while ago I started saying my New Year's resolution is no resolution. Because everybody joins the gym and they stop going after three weeks; everybody goes on a diet, but they never keep the diets. So I don't think much of New Year's resolutions."

Nicole Kidman

Like Chopra, actress Nicole Kidman doesn't make resolutions.

"I just enter the new year with my family very calmly," she told iVillage.com earlier this month. "I'm not a big party person. I think it's important to just take a step back and assess what's happened and be grateful for what's coming."

It seems exciting things are headed her way. The 43-year-old actress has earned Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild nominations for her current film "Rabbit Hole," which she also produced.

"I'm grateful, flattered and hopeful," she told iVillage.com. "It's a little film -- a little fish in a big sea.... This film was made with such love."

Rebecca Romijn

Romijn will also be skipping the resolution this year.

"I don't make resolutions because I don't ever want to let myself down," she said on a recent promo video for Bravo's New Year's Eve special.

Here are some others who appeared with her in the promo and did make resolutions:

Anderson Cooper

"I guess to be a better friend to my friends."

Rocco DiSpirito

The celebrity chef vowed "not to miss an episode of any 'Housewives' ever again."

Lance Bass

The former 'N Sync singer resolved to "do more charity this year."

Kenan Thompson

The "Saturday Night Live" star pledged to "take advantage of every day."

Jack Black

Like a lot of people, Black would like to slim down in the new year.

At the premiere of his new film, "Gulliver's Travels," in December, he told Access Hollywood: "I'm gonna drop fitty."

As in Fifty Cent, the rapper, he was asked.

"No! I'm gonna drop fitty L.B.s," Jack said. "How many quarter-pounders with cheeses is that?"

His plan, he said jokingly: "Push-ups, sit-ups, and a strict diet of…. raisins."

Evan Lysacek

Olympic figure skating champion Evan Lysacek told entertainment blogger Micha Jesse that he wants to capture more of 2011 in pictures.

"I travel all over the world and I experience amazing things and I never document it," he said in a video on the blogger's website. "So I need to start taking pictures this year."

Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus could well be ready to say goodbye to 2010, which saw her parents Billy Ray and Tish announcing their divorce and the teen star got in hot water over a video of her purportedly smoking salvia from a bong.

In a recorded video message to fans, the 18-year-old "Hannah Montana" star said that next year she has resolved to help others.

"I'm really looking forward to 2011," said Cyrus, while coloring with her 10-year-old sister Noah. " I've got some new ideas, I want to go on some cool trips, I want to travel, I want to make this the year that I go out and do what I'm here to do, and that's to help people and make people happy."
