did they get it in for halloween?

notnowbernard · 27/11/2009 15:46

I couldn't comment on her business skills. Obviously she has made a shedload...

BUT... I am always totally gobsmacked by those who claim she is a good parent

I just hope she's put her shedload into a fund for her kids' therapy, because by God will they need it

DanDruff · 27/11/2009 15:47

i can't believe people buy those books. her and the eastenders cast fill our local charity shops with their ridiculous tomes

DanDruff · 27/11/2009 15:53

notnowbernard · 27/11/2009 15:53

I read one of KP's earlier ones. It was utter, utter shite

I did like Daniella Westbrook's though. Now THAT should be in a secondary school library - alarmingly honest and brutal account of addiction and its consequences

WouldYouCouldYouWithAGoat · 27/11/2009 15:54

DanDruff · 27/11/2009 15:55

As long as it's correctly filed in the horror section I don't see a problem

notnowbernard · 27/11/2009 16:00

Dale Winton?!

Bet that was a blinder. Tales of life on The Edge with Babs Windsor and cosmetic surgery nightmares per chance?

DanDruff · 27/11/2009 16:01

Am amazed you got through it

I have The Howard Marks Book Of Dope Stories sitting unread on my bookshelf

Worth a go?

What annoys me is that people have to call her "the model and businesswoman". She's not a bloody businesswoman. If her brand has been effectively marketed and managed, it's because she employs effective marketing people and managers. That's not being a "businesswoman".

I'd complain about it being in the library - not for any feminist reasons (after all, all kinds of books might make those hackles rise dubiously) but because it's crap. And she's crap. And the fact that such a person has been allowed to rise unchallenged symbolises everything that is wrong with Britain.
