Katie protects her kids from publicity at X-Factor show

Just a couple of months ago, Katie Price was claiming all the publicity her kids were getting was doing them no good and said she wanted to withdraw them from the public eye. Still last night Junior and Princess both debuted new hair styles as they went along to watch the X Factor finalists' tour. Katie's new squeeze was carrying Junior, who seemed to have taken inspiration from his mother's latest lover when styling his locks. Not sure where Princess got her inspiration from - but she has clearly been at the straightening irons again! And where DID her mum get those boots?!
No doubt Pete will have plenty to say about the whole fiasco, especially as Leandro has been overheard saying in Spanish that he has no plans to stick around in the UK and will soon be dumping Katie and returning to Argentina, where he is already a big star. Of course, the fact that Katie has a new show starting on Sky Living tomorrow will certainly not have discouraged her from avidly pursuing this latest romance....

Another busy week for Katie Price

It's been another busy week for Katie Price as she has thrown herself back into single life with a night out on the town with one of the cameramen from her latest documentary. She ensured maximum pap attention by wearing a very short skirt with these tasteful leopard print thigh-high boots. The good news for anyone who fancies emanating Katie's look is that, not content with her kids' clothing and equestrian ranges, she has now bought a "high-end" fashion line, called Day 22. The plan is to release new items on the 22nd of each month. Hmm, can't wait.
However, Katie has apparently spent Valentine's weekend with her ex-husband at a spa hotel, where she checked into a suite. However, she's claiming that romance is far from her mind and that they are thrashing out the details of their divorce, with Alex allegedly holding out for a big pay off.
In case Katie manages to find any spare time in between taking her kids to the sauna, designing clothes, writing books, negotiating her divorce and enjoying nights on the town, she has also entered this year's London Marathon. She will be racing her other ex-husband's new squeeze, as Elen Rivas is also taking on the challenge.

Heir Apparent to the Hermes Handbag Collection?

It seems Victoria Beckham's wish for some female solidarity in her family may be due to come true. Apparently Victoria had a 4D 16 week scan at a Hertfordshire hospital this week (which would make baby Beckham due mid to late July) and the scan revealed that the Beckhams are expecting their much longed for daughter. However, previously the Beckhams have claimed that they had no intention of finding out the sex of the baby before the birth, so this story could be a load of codswallop.
If Victoria does get her daughter, she will, of course, inherit one of the world's greatest collections of Birkin handbags! Victoria has spoken of how she would love to dress a little girl up and paint her nails. Just don't get any ideas about straightening her hair, Victoria - Peter Andre has allegedly found straightener burns on poor Princess's sensitive little scalp, as Katie tries to tame those crazy curls!
Still Lourdes Leon (Madge's daughter) and Suri Cruise could soon have some real competition - after they were this week voted the most stylish celeb kids.
It is said that it is good for babies to play them music whilst they are still in the womb. However, the Beckhams have their own interpretation of this as they have taken to rapping to their unborn child. Hmm, maybe Victoria has recognised this might be a better option than her singing...

Things are getting serious

Amidst the wreckage of celeb relationships so far this year, it is nice to see a smile on Peter Andre's face. Despite getting knocked out in the opening round of Dancing On Ice, his new love, Elen Rivas, is all smiles too, as she celebrated her 36th birthday with friends, introducing them to her new man for the first time. Pete picked her up from her girlie lunch, the pair dined at C London in Mayfair in the evening, before heading off to a secret hotel/spa location - Pete's surprise treat for his new lady...

Katie targeting polo players?

Having tried footballers (Dwight Yorke, Teddy Sheringham), pop stars (Gareth Gates, Dane Bowers, Peter Andre), Gladiators (Ace) and now cross-dressing cage fighters, Katie seems to have decided to move upmarket, as she was spotted out partying until the early hours in Klosters this morning, with a bunch of polo players. Onlookers described her as "a man-eater" with "raunchy dance moves" as she allegedly threw herself at any polo player in sight. The DJ at the event was under strict instructions not to play any Peter Andre tracks - amazingly, several people actually requested Mysterious Girl, apparently. Celebritree is surprised the DJ even had it in his record bag.
Katie's equestrian range is apparently the sponsor of the big snow polo event taking place in Klosters at the moment - hence her need to rent a £40,000/week 10 bedroom chalet. Rumour has it that the clientele turned slightly downmarket at the news of her involvement - normally Prince Charles and Jack Kidd would be attendees but seem to have given it a miss this year.
Joining Katie in her huge holiday abode are her sister and long-suffering mum, who seem to have been brought along on baby sitting duties for Harvey and Princess. No sign of Junior though, so Celebritree assumes he has chosen to hide out with his dad, rather than being on hand whilst his mum makes a show of herself.
Poor old Alex Reid has, of course, also been left behind. He has been spotted back at their marital home, despite Katie allegedly changing the locks and upgrading security, following the news of her split. Poor, naive Alex is still wearing his wedding ring, as he still hopes things might work out, that he also says he feels like an abandoned puppy.
Katie's statement announcing the end of her marriage and the fact that it had all been a big mistake (err, note mistake and NOT publicity stunt), seems to have been uttered without a hint of irony. Katie told the media that Alex was no longer the man she had married and had become a "fame-obsessed monster". Hmm, Katie, rearrange these words into a well known saying: KETTLE, CALLING, BLACK, POT...

Katie draws out the death of her marriage a little longer

Well the gossip surrounding Katie and Alex's marriage has continued all week. True to her constant need for publicity, Katie has released a statement to tell the media that she and her husband were planning to release a statement about their separation, but have decided to withdraw the statement after he refused to sign, claiming he needed more time, and she agreed, out of consideration for his feelings. (Err, maybe Katie, if you had thought about Alex's feelings before ranting at him in public and flirting with Amir Khan, you wouldn't be heading for the divorce courts again now.)
Alex is keeping pretty quiet, but is supposed to be devastated and concerned that, thanks to a lack of pre-nup, he will have to settle for the £250K that Katie is offering him, which Alex doesn't believe will even buy him somewhere to live.
There are various theories as to why the marriage went wrong: Alex's side claims that her flirtation with Amir Khan was to blame, whilst Katie says that she fell in love with an ordinary man (albeit a cross-dressing, cage-fighting one) and now he is fame hungry monster. Hmm, considering Katie employed herself as his manager, to get him more publicity, this doesn't seem to be a water-tight excuse.
Anyway, the whole unpleasant mess is being captured on camera for Katie's latest fly-on-the-wall show with Living/Virgin Media, and most sources seem to agree that this is the reason Katie is drawing out Alex's agony - it makes great TV. She claims that it was over before Christmas but she wanted to leave it until February "for the sake of the kids" - yes, it must have made for a great Christmas with so much tension in the air and paps hanging around as the media speculation built... Added into her TV mix are "secret" meetings and text exchanges with ex, Peter Andre. Alex was said to have kicked off after one particular exchange. Surely Peter has enough to do supporting his new girlfriend, Elen Rivas, as she prepares for her debut on Dancing on Ice? However, Katie claims that relationship is a "fake" publicity stunt (well she'd certainly know about those) and she's just fizzing about the whole thing...
Surely this will be the weeks when the Reid-Prices finally make it official?

Another Celeb Wedding

Although a festive romantic break in the Indian Ocean didn't seem to do the trick for her former bessie mate, Katie Price, and her husband, Alex Reid, it certainly proved a winner for Sarah Harding, whose boyfriend, Dan Crane, proposed to her on New Year's Day. The two are obviously thrilled as they sealed their love by telling the world how made up they are on Twitter. Hmm, really adds to the romance, your partner down on one knee, a diamond solitaire ring on your finger, a "yes" and then "wait, let me get my phone, I must quickly tweet all my friends, family and fans..."
So that's two Girls Aloud weddings to look forward to in 2011 - Nadine and Sarah. Who will the bridesmaids be? Presumably Katie won't be returning the favour for Sarah now that the two are no longer so close (Sarah was bridesmaid at Katie's wedding to Pete, though didn't make the cut for the Reid-Price blessing extravaganza) - although Celebritree would pay good money to see a peach taffeta face off between Katie, Cheryl and Nicola in OK! magazine...

Katie back to work

Essex girls were doubtless out en masse at the Lakeside Shopping Centre yesterday, as Katie Price made a personal appearance to promote and sign her equestrian and baby ranges at Debenhams, wearing a velour tracksuit and pink T-shirt (presumably from her own collection - not sure who else would have the cerebral power to come up with such a slogan: Horses are like chocolates - one is never enough). However, she couldn't seem to manage a smile to light up the lives of her fans.
She finally admitted on Twitter (where else?) that she and Alex are having marital problems, although dim-witted Alex is still denying them on his Twitter site (err, maybe he doesn't follow his wife's feeds?) Alex has apparently even said that he'd like to get advice from Peter Andre, as he's the only one who understands what he's going through - err, yes and that worked out really well, didn't it Alex?!
Katie is said to be fed up with Alex not following her fashion tips (look at this picture, would you take styling tips from this woman?) and the fact that he runs to his mum whenever the going gets tough. However, rumours are abound that Katie is anxious to keep the relationship going into February, as she doesn't want to have a marriage that lasted less than a year on her track record. Celebritree is just glad that Bingles got out before things turned sour...

New Year, New Love

A happy story for the New Year - it seems that Peter Andre and Frank Lampard's ex, Elen Rivas, have found love with each other, after meeting at a dinner party in November. They have apparently been on a few discreet dates before they were photographed this week leaving Claridge's together, after enjoying an evening there preceded by a visit to the theatre to see Flashdance: the musical.
Katie has given her ex's new relationship her blessing as she has said that her horse trainer, Andrew Gold (the man implicated in Katie and Pete's split) ran the marathon with Elen and says she's a lovely girl. Phew! That's alright then Pete!
Elen is clearly somewhat classier than Pete's ex, as she seems to be well covered for the inclement weather. No doubt we'll be seeing a lot more of Elen, doubtless in dodgy flesh coloured tights and sequins galore, as she gets her skates on for tonight's Dancing on Ice, along with Pete's close friend, Kerry Katona.
It's amazing Pete has found time for romance, as he has today been named "the hardest working act in pop music" after playing to 100,000 fans over 38 dates in his arena tour last year. Who'd have thought that Pete's music was so in demand?

Katie's Rivals in Love - the Sugababes?!

Well, rumours continue that Katie Price and Alex Reid's marriage may soon be over. He's apparently still living with his parents as they try a trial situation, in the hope that absence will make the heart go fonder (or at least give Alex a break from Katie's nagging). Anyway, Alex seems to be taking full advantage of his freedom, as he helped run up a £30K bill at Mahiki the other night, and was then seen out and about looking cosy with Amelle Berrabah - the rough one from the Sugababes.
What is it with Katie's exes and members of that band? Just this week rumours have started up about Peter Andre and former Sugababe, Kesha Buchanan. Whatever next? Will Heidi be hooking up with Dane Bowers? Will Mutya get it on with Dwight Yorke? Hmm, well time will tell...

Dancing on Thin Ice?

With Strictly all over for another year, the star-studded line-up for Dancing on Ice has now been announced. The list seems never-ending (including Frank Lampard's ex, Elen Rives; Richard and Judy's daughter, Chloe Madeley; former Neighbour, Craig McLachlan; the usual token Hollyoaks lovely, Jennifer Metcalfe; father of Jade Goody's kids, Jeff Brazier; ex Corrie stars, Steven Arnold and Denise Welch; Vanilla Ice, Angela Rippon and, star of the show/car crash waiting to happen, Kerry Katona). The novelty this year is that some celebs will be voted off before they even get chance to skate - probably a relief or the show could go on for 3 hours! However, things are looking rather worrying for Kerry, who has apparently fractured two ribs in training. She was seen at a Peter Andre concert clutching her side, looking in some pain, although that might just have been Pete's performance...

Phew! Pete's on the road to recovery

Phew! Peter Andre is out of hospital and going ahead with his Minehead gig at Butlin's tonight (all the classy venues in this tour, clearly). That's the good news. The bad news for Pete's Somerset fans is that he is still not well enough to put on his high energy dance routines, so will be concentrating on giving "the vocal performance of a lifetime." Still no word on what was wrong with him though Pete has said he thought he was dying.
In another of those weird stories that could only happen to the Price-Andre clan, Katie has spoken out about the case of the missing camera - allegedly stolen from Pete's house in August. She claims that Harvey took it (by mistake presumably - Celebritree assumes Harvey hasn't become some kind of clepto) and she will happily replace it. Finding it at her house, Katie checked the photos and discovered some of Pete's brother, Michael, having hair transplants. Being Katie, she made sure to tweet about the offending pics immediately. Mind you, if you want to have secret hair transplants, probably best to avoid photographic evidence.

Pete rushed to hospital

Peter Andre was due to start his arena tour this evening but the big occasion has been postponed after Pete was rushed to hospital. The news ways revealed (of course) on Twitter by his ex-wife, who clearly isn't satisfied with the publicity generated by her book tour and her appearances minus wedding ring (are Katie and Alex really on the verge of divorce?) so she decided to take advantage of her ex's illness for another chance to generate some publicity / sell some books or perfume / show how much she really cares... She told the world, "I'm told CAN are going to release a statement saying pete been rushed to hospital with stomach pains!why does press need to know! hope pete ok".
CAN did indeed release a statement confirming Katie's tweet and highlighting the necessity to make a press release to inform his devoted fans of the delay to his tour.
Celebritree just hopes it's nothing serious and that Pete can hit the tour trail again soon!

Partying with Pete

The stars were out in force last night as Claire Powell, best known for being Peter Andre's manager, celebrated her birthday at the Crazy Bear private members' club in Covent Garden. Kerry Katona was showing off her slimline figure in a skimpy animal print frock, whilst chatting with The Only Way is Essex star, Amy. Celebritree is wondering whether Amy is offering to give classy Kerry a vajazzle...
Meanwhile, Pete is making big plans for his forthcoming tour - apparently he has devised a routine that involves 5 year old Junior joining him on stage. No doubt Katie will be thrilled!

These boots are made for...?!

Katie Price has been haunting the nation's bookshops as she promotes the latest of her autobiographies. It was obviously chilly in Manchester as she sported some very furry boots. Apparently despite her loving message to her ex husband in her latest book, she is not really feeling the love - she apparently threw a shoe at her TV during his performance on Strictly the other week (let's hope it wasn't one of these boots or she could have done some serious damage!)
More bad news for Katie: the incident last month when she hit a person whilst on her mobile en route to see Michelle Heaton in a play may result in a 2 year custodial sentence! At the least, Katie can probably expect to lose her licence - she already has 7 points. Surely something must be done: it's just a matter of time before she sends her 4x4 crashing into a Snappy Snaps...

Katie on tour

Katie Price is back on the road again promoting the latest in her series of autobiographies (her fourth and she's still only 32). Strangely, the new book seems to be dedicated to her ex-husband, Pete, although she has been talking about how miserable she was during their marriage.
Meanwhile, all does not seem to be rosy in her current marriage. Apparently Katie is climbing the walls and has hired a private detective to try and find her horse trainer's missing mobile phone. Readers may recall that Katie and Pete broke up after Pete believed Katie to be getting intimate with her horse trainer, Andrew. Rumour has it that the reason Katie is over-reacting to this loss because the phone contains some steamy and incriminating text messages between her and Andrew.
She has also allegedly informed Alex that under no circumstances should he consider going on Strictly Come Dancing (would they want him?) as Katie is apparently paranoid about him getting intimate with his dance partner. Hmm, doesn't she have enough REAL stuff to worry about?

Peter and Katie - reunited in court

Peter and Katie are gearing up this weekend to face each other in court. Peter has issued a writ against Katie for comments she made on the Graham Norton show that he had cheated on her with his manager, Claire and in a magazine article in which Katie suggested that Pete's song about his "Unconditional" love for Harvey made him a hypocrite. Apparently Katie thinks the whole thing is a waste of time (guess she is getting tired of court rooms after her recent driving case) but Pete reckons he needs to see the case through as he just doesn't know what his ex is going to say about him next. Expect some juicy details about their split as Phil and Gary (amongst others) take to the stand.

Celeb mum of the year

Bounty had announced its shortlist for the coveted 'Celebrity Mum of the Year' award. Well, I say shortlist - of 20! It includes current holder, Kym Marsh, Victoria Beckham, Sam Cam, Coleen Rooney and even Kerry Katona (in spite of the footage showing her cursing and threatening to whack her kids). Even Natalie Cassidy makes the list, and Celebritree is pretty sure she hasn't actually given birth to her sproglet yet... You would have expected having a child to be a minimum criteria!
One noticeable absentee is Katie Price, who won in 2007, but has somehow failed to make the grade this year. No doubt Peter is still polishing his 'celeb dad of the year' award!
The full list of nominees is below. Who would your choice be?

1. Victoria Beckham
2. Tina O’Brien
3. Samantha Cameron
4. Natalie Cassidy
5. Charlotte Church
6. Tess Daly
7. Kerry Katona
8. Myleene Klass
9. Danielle Lloyd
10. Kym Marsh
11. Davina Mccall
12. Dannii Minogue
13. Bernie Nolan
14. Denise Van Outen
15. Jools Oliver
16. Patsy Palmer
17. Billie Piper
18. Coleen Rooney
19. Suzanne Shaw
20. Holly Willoughby

Latest Strictly Rumours

So, as the big announcement for this year's Strictly Come Dancing draws closer, the rumours of the contenders are hotting up. Of course, we all know about Felicity Kendall, Anne Widdecombe, Patsy Kensit and Gavin Henson.
The latest revelations have added rapper, Goldie, the other one from Destiny's Child (Michelle Williams), Robbie Williams' mate (Jonathan Wilkes) and Celebritree favourites, Peter Andre and Kerry Katona into the mix.
In a quest to ensure that nobody can accuse the dancers of being more famous than the contestants, it seems they've decided that in case of not being able to attract the stars, they have just decided to get new dancers.

Reid-Price marriage in crisis?

Here's Katie pictured last week at the launch of the new Katie Price iPod. (that outfit - WTF?!) Let's hope it's not full of her music or it will be likely to go the same way as the World Cup limited edition gold Frank Lampard iPods, 5,000 of which have had to be melted down and rebuilt as Hello Kitty iPods (err, doesn't Frank ever learn? After the last World Cup, his biography turned out to be one of the jokes as the whole England team clamoured to release their life stories, which following their poor WC performance, nobody wanted to buy...)
Still, Celebritree digresses. Stories today are indicating that the Reid-Price marriage is in serious crisis. Katie has apparently headed off on holiday with her mum and kids to Portugal (allegedly not wearing her wedding ring), leaving Alex home alone training for his next fight (presuming he doesn't back out of this one at the last minute). Alex has apparently gone back to his mum and dad's (presumably in search of some normality). After a series of rows, Alex is apparently close to walking out on the marriage - although he claims to still love her. So what could possibly be the reason for these rows? Well, it seems Alex is fed up with Katie indicating that he is thick (why would she do that?), trying to control his career and every move (err, didn't he make her his manager?), putting all her energies into her TV series/book launch/recording career and repeatedly calling him "Pete". He has said that she needs to change her ways or their marriage will go the same way as the last one...
Hmm, maybe Kerry Katona is psychic, as Celebritree agrees with KK, this story might not have much longer to run.
