Katie Price in Lincoln today

[GabbyLoggon]

There was a 300 yard queue outside the bookshop 3 hours before she is due for the signing at 5pm today. I can see why she is worth £30m. Jordan really knows how to work our fame culture in England. Is she BIG in other countries?

oh and btw her whole public persona is soft porn. just soft porn mum, now, and slightly less soft porn schoolgirl.

presumably, sorky, we are talking to the mothers here btw. so we know who to blame.

and i am desp. to see the wedding, does anyone know when it is being repeated? apparently it was fantastically awful. bread and circuses, guys, bread and circuses.

Sorky - Are you saying I intolerably stupid - because I think she's a strong woman and good business woman?

gosh Runaway, i totally hands up concede she's good at making money, no question about it. i know some really fucked up bankers, alcoholics, workaholics, scared little men who like getting spanked, who treat their wives terribly because they know that they can etc.
brilliant at making money, these guys, not admirable, not role models in any shape or form.

She a dreadful role model for anyone imho

She has such low self esteem that she has willingly mutilated her own form to serve the sexual needs of others.

She is emotionally incapable of being on her own, hence this bizarre need to parade her life through the media & the speed with which she shacks up with any fecker.

If anything, I feel sorry for her.

I am so sick of seeing her and Kerry Katoina on the front of every lowlife trash mag every time I go in to the supermarket, I just do not understand who would pay money to read about these two useless woman, I mean drug abuse (and every other kind in the case of KK ) how the social services have not stepped in and had her kids away is beyond me, and Katie Price fucking marrying everything that moves and dragging her kids out as a commodity for a fast buck is just sickening.

Sadly people like this are becoming the role models for todays youth along with the "i wanna be famous" culture where every one thinks Simon Cowle is going to pluck them out of their day to day uselessness and make them a star.

Also reality TV shows have a lot to answer for, the last one I saw advertised was Gary Linikers new wife having a show about being a step mother who give a fuck

Read my post Animation. I said 'the people I know'
I don't know you.

However there's a strong correlation....

me too, sorky. i think something Absolutely Terrible happened to her in her childhood, i really do. look how she reacted to telling a story of being flashed at when she was a kid, crying on the piers morgan thing.

I think she probably is damaged in some ways - but I don't see her flaws as a convenient excuse to throw harsh personal insults at her.

She was beautiful when she was younger.

Her addiction to plastic surgery is heartbreaking to see.

I do secretly kind of hope to see her face on the front of a magazine with the title "i've found inner peace" .

She's realised that her tinkering with her body/face is some sort of manifestation of self loathing.

Begs the question why her mother hasn't had a word about it all really, or does she like the lifestyle she's now become accustomed too?

Kerry Katona

I see parading your kids around for money, using your fake tits to get money and making a freakshow out of yourself for money a pretty good excuse to conclude said person is a sad low-life.

i thought you said i'd been throwing them at you?

she's nasty, yes? we see her behaving in a very nasty and undermining manner to her ex-husband and her children on her OWN show? this is behaviour that she clearly finds acceptable. so. not harsh. (haven't seen new show, doubt there has been a personality transplant though.)

she's a soft pornographer. again, not an insult to her. it's how she makes her money.

she exploits her children. yup. she does. not an insult. i don't liek the way peter andre exploits them either. or kerry katona. in fact i think it's profoundly wrong.

what else? any other insults needing substantiated?

I think she is a flagship of what is wrong with society today, it is sad young women would aspire to be like her.

But that said she is goos at making money, she has made herself in to a product that sells, she has branched in to many aspects of the market, she knows how to make money.

Unlike Kerry Katonia who is just a compleat waste of oxygen.

I wonder if she ever watches her show and thinks
"I shouldn't have said that" or " I behaved really badly there" or "crap I said that in front of the kids"

Aitch - I'm going to leave you to it now. You own this thread and you hate this woman. Good for you.

like i say, just being a product that sells is not the kind of thing i personally find admirable.

i feel v sorry for kerry katona, while she's no role model i do find her more vulnerable persona a great deal more appealing than jordan's.

great programme coming up in a fortnight, an ep of the hospital where they look at cosmetic procedures done on the nhs. should people get treated for having one tit bigger than they other or should they be encouraged to see themselves as more than a pair of tits etc? really interesting. at the moment they are being treated but with funding cuts they might not in future. and what are we saying about ourselves when we demand that our government correct our physical imperfections? cool show, you should watch it.

How on Earth a person deduces that someone who finds Katie Price a pitiful excuse for a role model hates her is really beyond me.

But it rather illustrates my own experience with real life Jordon/Katie fans, sadly.

what on earth are you talking about, animation? shit or get off the pot, this is a debate and all you've done is bleat. come back at me with some responses...

and i don't hate jordan. how very odd. i've never met the woman.

Not everyone in the queue will be a fan

Actually I do not think Aitch was demonstrating hate.. it is true Jordan is soft porn all the way.

People may like her but that does not mean she is a good role model.

And as for being an astute business woman - I am not so sure, she sells herself to the highest bidder.

Her PR of late has been a disaster, while her Ex has been doing better.

I'm not questioning whether she watches her own show btw , she's too narcissistic not too.

I dislike her selfishness mostly.

If she used her influence for any other means, I could cut her some slack as it were, but she doesn't.

In fact, any attempt to become an Ambassador for a charity would look vacuous and self-publicising, she maybe its better she doesn't bother.

I do know she does work for a couple of charities related to her son's disabilities, but where are the OK headlines when she's doing that, eh?

In answer to the original AIBU question: I don't think anyone has any idea who KP/Jordan is outside the UK - but I do think every country has their own version ...

And is this really an AIBU ??

I don't hate her, I don't know her, but from how she portrays herself she is not someone I would want to be the role model for todays youth.

I think it says more about society today then her personally when Gail Timble (might have that wrong) the very bright young woman from University Challenge is made in to a joke figure and some plastic over made up woman with the morals of a street walker is made an icon.
As for KK I think we will see a Kerry dead due to drug overdoes headline before too long.

Not keen on her or the stuff that surrounds her and what it says about our society.

BUT there was an MNer once who mentioned she's a cousin. Can't remember who and I'm sure the poster is used to people having strong opinions about her, but stopped me being really nasty anyway.

och no, edam, i remember that person, and she wasn't a cousin, she was a friend of a cousin. and i sincerely do not think that anyone has said anything at all innaccurate about her on this thread.

Goodness, yes, poor Gail Trimble.

There's a woman who's worked hard, studied hard and got slated by the press for being successful due to her talent, in part because she was seen to be snobby by turning down NUTS' offer of a "tasteful spread" in the aftermath of the University Challenge win debacle!!

It beggars belief, it really does...
