Just read it on bbc (need a lesson in linking, sorry).

They've asked for privacy...

Bit of a divert but I am gutted MoatCleaner got to that nickname before me!

blondissimo · 14/05/2009 21:06

who's watching?

Meglet · 14/05/2009 21:15

I am , even though I swore I wouldn't after last weeks 'swearing in front of children-fest'.

clam · 14/05/2009 21:23

I'm not!

But it's being SkyPlussed while DH watches the cricket.

frecklyspeckly · 14/05/2009 21:31

i am watching. And I am management have split with her. They seemed so good and calming - she will need someone good now to represent her. Does anyone else think Claire appears to be a bit more abrupt with k in the past few episodes? looking impatient when she messes about etc. perhaps she (c)knew it was coming!!

Seems a bit less of a publicity stunt now imo as the now ex-managers have put a formal statement out about parting company.

blondissimo · 14/05/2009 21:41

I agree freckly - pmsl at the fact she was worrying about anyone being able to see her boobs in the oscars dress

AitchTwoOh · 14/05/2009 21:52

not necessarily re the stunt. it may have been jordan's idea the whole time to sack the management, and here is an opportunity to do it and let everyone save a bit of face. claire thingie looks like she's doing the right thing by peter, jordan gets to keep more of her cash without representation.

frecklyspeckly · 14/05/2009 21:52

I think we could do with listening to what aitch thinks on tonights episode.She had me in stitches with her questioning on here - especially to Mab - to paraphrase - 'Are YOU Claire! I repeat; HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS!!'

I think she has gone to sort out those MP's and their expenses and thats why she has got the night off.

Where are you Aitch?

frecklyspeckly · 14/05/2009 21:54

oh dear cross post!! that answers me then!!hello!!

AitchTwoOh · 14/05/2009 21:57

lol, would that this were true... i'm supposed to be working right now (just watching telly, so not that strenuous) and the thought of watching some ghastly bbc3 documentary on sick animals has made me come here for a break.

frecklyspeckly · 14/05/2009 22:07

as you say Blondissimo- the thought of her not wanting anyone to see her boobies -ffs we have all seen them every which way ten thousand times!!

Even inside out on the operating table at least four times!

aitch - coming on mn as a break from sick animals - are you sure ?

shhhh · 14/05/2009 22:13

Im watching K&P now..(sky+) and yes, I confess Im another one who couldn't resist after last week's episode .

Not surprised that Claire has got pete (lol, its as though its some kind of prize giving )...I thought she would as iir she has known him/family for years.

fartmeistergeneral · 15/05/2009 08:16

I did watch a bit of last night's episode. The Jordan/Junior snail thing was horrible and weird. I mean, I can't say I've never done anything a bit mean to my kids and prob have made them cry several times with my own behaviour, but to do it on TV and to seem to enjoy it so much is yuk.

Also was anyone else cringing at the whole Elton's Oscar party conversation? They were so desperate to be 'one of them' - just wanted to be friends with them all in a TomKat/Beckham kind of way! And when Pete said he wanted to be able to meet Victoria and give her a hug like best buddies - oh dear. And then he said he met Simon Cowell and apparantly Simon said that Pete had the whole package, just needed good songs, but 'everything else was there'. Dearie dearie me. And then looking online to see what people said about them!!!!

blondissimo · 15/05/2009 11:06

I do agree that it seemed a really horrible thing to do to your little boy but it was nice to see her showing him some affection afterwards - she always appears to ignore him compared to the other two. Maybe it's just the way the show is edited though.

peachsmuggler · 15/05/2009 15:45

They have won mum/dad of the year but they seem to spend a fair amount of time in separate countries from their children. Last night on the show, Harvey went back to school in England while they stayed in the states. They are there supposedly for Peter to do his album so Jordan doesn't actually need to be there. Seemed odd that she wouldn't just have gone back to England with the kids and left Pete to finish his album. Guess that is me being naive though, they are trying to "crack" america as a couple/brand. Hmmm

fartmeistergeneral · 15/05/2009 17:27

That's what's so tragic really, they are trying to 'break' America with bog all - a brand???!! They are so desperate to be the new Posh/Becks and they are nowhere near. At least Becks has a bit of talent at something. Posing at parties, trying to 'be' somebody.

AitchTwoOh · 15/05/2009 22:56

wathcing it now. man, that woman is cold... all that shit with the wee boy and the snail went on faaaaar too long.

shhhh · 16/05/2009 00:12

what annoys me even more is the fact that todays paper is reporting that Katie is awol with Princess and Junior and pete is in cyprus alone...Poor poor harvey is home alone ...well with the nanny. Oh and that makes it ok...

Poor boy has limited senses and imo needs stability. I have no experience of a child with sn BUT even I know that they need security and routine. Maybe thats why he's left here to continuen with school etc BUT surely they must realise that he will be asking for his parents...?

Such a shame.

Both declare undying love for harvey,do numerous interviews/photo shoots with him yet leave him vunerable.

Shocking parenting imo.

Oh and can I add.............all these celebs that win "parenting of the year awards" Its bollocks.
These awards should be abolished, ffs how hard can it be earning silly money, having nannies,makr up artists/hairstylists oh and kids to look after..? Do m a favour.

They all need to get into the real world and see how hard it to to bring up kids minus nannies etc. To spend weeks in a hospital nursing a sick child while worrying if your job will still be there once your lo is well..or where the money is coming from to pay bills while you sit in hospital.

Or what its really like to be affected by the credit crunch. To most of us that means spending wisely for meals etc..not cancelling your hairdressers hours....

Arrrrrrrrrrrggh.Im fecked off.

sorry, rant over

BoysAreLikeDogs · 16/05/2009 00:13

She has grafted hard for her money though

shhhh · 16/05/2009 00:13

yeah, I guess lifting your top and skirt is hard work...

Nicocacola · 16/05/2009 00:45

in reply to them leaving harvey at home with nanny, katie has posted this on her twitter page:

"missing harvey soo much wish he was here but had 2 stay at home for his routine an health an did not want to disrupt that" - 7:09 PM May 14th

not that i'm really sad and follow them both on twitter or anything, ahem!

fartmeistergeneral · 16/05/2009 08:51

Katie and Peter are always going on about how much they love Harvey (and I'm not doubting it) but why did Katie have to stay in the States? Why couldn't she have left Pete to do his 'album' and come back with her son? I couldn't leave my children for any significant length of time. Hark at us judging people!

Also, can we laugh and cry at Pete's song please? Unconditional love. I don't know what to make of Pete. Is all this emotion and splurge actually genuine? The lyrics were a bit ironic though 'I'll never leave you' etc.

On a more trivial note (MORE trivial!!!) when Pete was sitting discussing his song with that woman, they were sitting on a Linda Barker sofa. It's the same as mine.

Such a bizarre life these kids lead. When Pete and Katie were at that place where they got free stuff and they were there for a few hours I think it said - with the kids!! What were the kids doing all that time??

AitchTwoOh · 16/05/2009 12:18

but if the boy needs routine then his mother fucking off and taking the other kids on holiday will break that quite a bit. i thought the deal with parents splitting up was that they sit down and say 'this is nothing to do with you' etc, not both bugger off and leave the nanny to deal with it.
