To not understand why people are so obseessed with Katie price?

[wannaBe]

Her walking out of the jungle is on the bbc news - there is an entire phone-in about her on 5 live atm.

Why?

well she has said she is worth enough that she never need work again....

In that case isnt it better that Harvey has a Mum who attends his hospital appointments/gives him his medicen ect rather than his nanny or grandmother.

I think it's called attention seeking wannBe. Saw lots of it when i was a teacher.
They are quite predictable and funny in their own little way though:-)

curryfreak;

not sure how many millionaires would consider themselves thick...?

not too many i guess...

Katie Price is certainly not thick......and even if she was, so what..?

southeast
my son goes to the best special school in the county and it is a state school. They very very often are.

She's just excessively tawdry. She's vulgar x100 and people love to comment on that.

She is shrew, but still thick.

I remember about 3 years years ago when she

was on a chat Show (Jonathon Ross I think)

He made reference to a passage in her recently

published autobiography! She looked at him

blankly, and told him as she had'nt read it,

he would have to ask her publisher(PSML)

i'm not obsessed with her but i am worried that she is seen, esp by impressionable girls, as a role model. She first became famous through flaunting her surgically enhanced boobs, she has had repeated plastic surgeries to achieve what she see's as perfection, her idea fo motherhood is not one i would want anyone to aspire to. Her son was critically ill in hospital less than 10 days before she jetted off to earn money, which in her own words she doesn't need, She should have said 'no' to the money and publicity.

She has no real talent and is creditted with being an astutute business women, i personally feel she has/had a very good team behind her guiding her, the same team which she left when she and Peter split hence the very poor choices she has made since, revealing the lack of business acumin she has.

She may have enough money to never have to work again, but I'm willing to bet that fairly soon she'll have an OK or Hello exclusive about her time in the jungle, followed by another exclusive about her family life, and quite possibly another when/if she ever gets married again, and so on and so on.
Poor girl, I thinks she's a bit obsessed with her own column inches.

Well said Katz.
On the subject of role models, I would

seriously question my parenting skills if my

dd's considered this horrible women as a role

model!

one think KP isn't is thick.
she knows exactly what she is doing.
I don't like her because of the "disabled kid thing" she left her just out of hospital child to go to the states and then oz...yet sells his picture.
she is a user(yes even of her own son)

You don't have to be keen on her to acknowledge that she is actually pretty clever.

The few times I have actually seen her interviewed/heard her speak I thought she was quite sharp.

Not to my tastes certainly, but that doesn't make her dumb.

One thing that i didn't get was KP showed more emotion and vulnerability doing those bush tucker trials then she did regarding the break up of her marriage to PA.

I think people would have maybe warmed to her more if after the marriage split, she had taken time out and admitted she was hurt by Peter. Instead she chose the "i'm totally over it" root and kept saying "this is my last interview on the marriaige then i want closure" but hasn't shut up about it since.

Thing is she does have an ok, down to earth side to her, i saw that from her show with Pete. I think that was the side Pete loved about her but then she has the annoying "Jordon" side where you just think F off!

I always snigger slightly when people claim to 'only' read about KP in 'the doctors waiting room'

I don't think she's thick, I don't think she's a bad person. But I think the public who watch crap TV shows, build 'celebs' up and take great delight in knocking them down again are the sad ones.

agree sassybeast.
I don't sympathise with her constant self-publicity, in which nothing is sacred. However, she has been repeatedly villified since her breakup with PA. Who knows what really happened in their marriage? She has always been loud and brash and he should have known what he was getting into.
He left her very shortly after a miscarriage and she had suffered PND after princess was born. I suspect he's a bit of a scumbag TBH.

sassy

I know what you mean but it is actually quite weird.

I have never watched any of her own programmes and i never buy or read celebrity magazines. But she manages to trail into everyday media with amazing regularity.
The clip I saw of her taking Harvey to his new school was shown on a different programme although I can't remember which one. I get snippets when i turn on aol via the welcome board, threads on here, articles in the ordinary newspaper, items on magazine type programmes etc etc

It really is possible to never intentioanlly know a thing about her and yet find out an astonishing amount about her. Quite a 'talent'

Did anyone else read (in the doctor's waiting room) about Alex Reid (KP's current squeeze) saying that she was intelligent and how impressed he was that she could spell 'kangaroo' backwards?
PMSL.
There you go. Proof.

What struck me the other day was that I'd just explained to DS who KP was, and that she'd been excellent at all the trials when she was on previously. He watched a few, then said "I thought you said she was good at these?"
Which begs the question.... was all the fussing and tears this series an act?

()()

clam. I thought that too! I dont remember her crying and fussing last time?

Second what 2shoes said.

ah but she is SUCH a gGOOD MUM

snort hilariously

Another KP bashing ....

I just don't get it...even had DH the other day moaning about her saying she's only famous for getting her boobs out and she's always out boozing when she's got kids at home....so he's never bought a lads mag in his life and regularly boozes at home and has been known to have a night out with lots of other parents in the land

I know she courts the press, but even she admits you get the bad with the good and at the end of the day it's all a job. What about all these footballers making a mint for next to no work etc (certainly not in proportion to the job they do etc) and out clubbing all the time....

Not sure how PA has become holier than holy either...he walks out on his family and people say it must be her fault.....he's done alright out of her hasn't he? She's gone on record and discussed her depression and lost a number of babies, so in all fairness is entitled to be a bit bonkers at times....been there myself!

Good on her for making a fortune to support her family. Agree with pp about hiding harvey too...she'd be damned if she did (it would be all 'KP too embarassed of her son' blah blah blah) and IS damned cos she doesn't.

she is an old slag who thrived on media attention
i wishshe woudl just fuck off tbh

Well someones buying her perfume, magazines, books, etc
