Katie Price DUMPS Alex Reid November 24, 2009

Crikey O’Reilly, did anyone see I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here last night? Here I was blogging about Alex Reid’s plans to pop the question to Katie Price, and all she was doing was working out how to dump him!

We all had an inkling that the couple’s romance wouldn’t last long, but from what we’d seen, it looked as though Katie was intent on making this relationship work, so when she plonked herself down in front of Ant & Dec last night and said she wanted to be on her own for a while I almost choked on my crumpet.

She seemed pretty sure that being single was what she wanted, but what we’re all wanting to know in the FF office is whether the ‘rebound’ period is over and she’s seriously missing her ex husband now, especially since she said; “The whole place reminded me of Pete from morning till the moment I went to sleep. Every second it was Pete, Pete, Pete, Pete, Pete.

“Although they were amazing, happy memories, I’d lie there and think those good memories are way gone – but then I was still there with constant reminders of Pete. It was so ironic I had the same bed as last time. I’d wake in the mornings, look over and think, ‘Peter’s going to be there’.

“Then I’d be, ‘Course he’s not going to be there – I’m not with Pete any more’. Pete helped me through it last time. This time no one was there to help. It was cruel to do it to myself, so I just didn’t want to stay.”

Poor old Alex though, as much as we hated his fame leeching ways, we do feel a bit sorry for him after hearing KP going on about the split during last nights ITV show saying; “I’m not with him, no. I cannot live my life by anyone else. The past seven months I’ve acted like a right twit. I’m sorry if I upset people. It made me reflect on things. I’ve come out of here a new person.”

All I can say is I hope Alex kept the receipt for that £20,000 sparkler, he won’t be needing it any time soon… but what do you think about John & Edward replacing Katie Price in the jungle?

Alex Reid To Propose To Katie Price November 23, 2009

Posted by Ruth in : Celeb Watcher, Ruth's Ramblings , 1 comment so far

Katie Price might have left the jungle with a few flies in her teeth, but it looks as though she could be having a very happy reunion with her boyfriend Alex Reid after we reckon he’s planning to pop the question.

Okay, so they’ve only been together about six months but we are certain *ahem* that Alex isn’t planning to propose in the hope of piggybacking on the model’s fame… I mean come on, he’s got a successful cage fighting career hasn’t he? And even if that doesn’t work out, I’m sure Funnygirls would give him a job. *snigger*

Anyway, as Katie was busy getting ready to do a runner form the jungle, her other half Alex, 34, was spotted shopping for an engagement ring yesterday before heading into the bush to meet his girl.

Unsurprisingly the hard man wasn’t coy about his ring shopping and made no effort to hide his interest in a load of pink diamond sparklers, some in excess of £20,000 (I mean, where on earth is he getting that kind of cash from?)

Alex is rumoured to have planned to propose as soon as Jordan left the camp – and has even said he might do it on TV – obviously that isn’t another bid to boost his career… he just wants to share his love for Katie with the nation.

What do you think of all this and can you BELIEVE Katie scarpered from the jungle?

Katie Price Quits I’m A Celeb November 23, 2009

Posted by Ruth in : Ruth's Ramblings, TV , 4comments

Katie Price might have wanted to prove to the world how ‘grounded’ she was by heading back into the I’m A Celebrity Jungle, but I can’t see that happening now that she’s walked out of the show after being voted to take part in her seventh Bush Tucker Trial in a row.

Now, what is totally baffling me is, Katie went in there to prove a point, and she was getting a shed load more money than everyone else, so why – on the last Bush Tucker Trial – did she spit her dummy out and storm off the show? I mean that relaly isn’t going to do her profile any favours.

As Ant & Dec delivered the news that the public has once again given a gruesome task to the mouthy model, she immediately told her camp mates she would refuse to take part, before breaking down to the show’s producers saying; “There’s only so much crap one person can take. The way I’ve been treated on the show by the viewers, you’d think I was the most hated woman in Britain.” Err, sorry to break it to you Katie, but you quite possibly are.

In her defence though, I had started to warm to her because as much as she protested over doing every trial, she didn’t half get stuck in once she began, and good on her, she was earning that money! I hope she doesn’t get a penny of it now though, she should have stuck it to the end, she would have earned my respect if no one else’s .

But are you happy to see the back of Katie Price? And what do you think of her dumping Alex Reid?!

Jordan: “I’ve had enough” November 20, 2009

Posted by Ruth in : Ruth's Ramblings, TV , 3comments

Katie Price’s bid to come across as a ‘down to Earth’ girl look like they could be jeopardy after it has emerged that she is ready to walk off I’m A Celebrity because viewers keep voting for her to do stomach-churning bush tucker trials.

I mean come on, what did you expect love? After grabbing at headlines like a baby at a rattle, it’s hardly surprising that the public want to make you pay for shoving ‘real’ news off the front page of the papers.

The model, 31, has been voted to do every single bush tucker trial since she went into the jungle on Sunday, and last night viewers once again plumped for the glamour puss to do the fourth solo trial in a row.

Throwing the first sign of a tantrum since entering camp, the self proclaimed businesswoman and mother ranted; “I’m absolutely ready to leave camp. I’ve had enough. I want a nice bed and I don’t want to have to put myself through these horrible challenges. I don’t like it. I don’t need it.”

Okay, so being covered in 60,000 cockroaches, swimming in fish guts and having a panic attack during and underground trial might be more than we could stand, but she has been a trooper through most of the trials, so hearing her rant like this has kind of angered me.

Let’s face it, Katie is probably going to be doing every trial until she leaves the jungle… and with her getting a shed load more cash than the other celebs, why the heck shouldn’t she? Make her earn the money I think!!

What’s more, fans of ex-hubby Peter Andre are waging a campaign to urge people to vote for her… brilliant!

Katie Price Is Actually Winning Back Fans November 19, 2009

Posted by Ruth in : Ruth's Ramblings, TV , 2comments

Katie Price doesn’t half have think skin does she? Not only has the glamour girl withstander a bashing from the press over the past six months, but she’s spent the past few days enduring all manner of horrendous bush tucker trials in the bid to win back her admirers… and it seems ot be working.

Whilst loads of us (myself included) thought that Katie would fall flat on her face by going back in the I’m A Celebrity… jungle – and demanding pot loads of cash in the process – we’re actually quite warming to her.

We all knew that she was probably going to be doing most of the grim Bush Tucker Trials, but last night she kicked ass in the Live Trial – never once being all ‘diva-esqe’ but just giving it her best shot.

I think the fact that she said; ‘it’s up to the camp’ when deciding whether or not to pass on drinking beetle juice has been the first step into getting the fans back on her side… good on ya Katie… I’ve got to say, I’m pretty bloody proud of you.

Are YOU warming to Katie or do you wish she’s get back to her giant pink horse box?

What Did You Make Of Katie Price On I’m A Celeb? November 17, 2009

Posted by Ruth in : TV , 4comments

Katie Price finally sauntered into the I’m A Celebrity…. Jungle last night and I’ve got to say, I did feel a little bit proud of her.

Whilst Ant (of Ant & Dec – in case you don’t know him as a single entity) might not be voting for the glamour girl after flashing his t-shirt with ‘Team Andre’ emblazoned across it, I think I’m warming to her.

Whilst her choice of outfit might not have been the wisest choice she’s ever made, would we have expected anything else? And she didn’t half get stuck into her first challenge – collecting balls from a pool of fish guts and cockroaches.

It’s true Katie said she wanted to go in there to show people the ‘real’ her, and from last night’s show, I was pretty impressed – she spoke openly about Alex Reid’s cross dressing and didn’t act like she was any better than anyone else.

I’m still not on ‘Team Price’ yet, nor do I ever think she will be, but I’m pretty sure that this show could be the making or breaking of the public’s opinion of her.. What about you?

Katie Price: “I’m Going Into The Jungle For Closure” November 16, 2009

Posted by Ruth in : Ruth's Ramblings, TV , 13comments

I’m A Celebrity started last night, and I’m going to be honest, I’ve never watched it before… well, until now that is; I mean can anyone tell me they won’t be watching JUST to see how Katie Price copes?

Whilst she didn’t make an appearance on last night’s launch show until the very end, tonight is the night where she finally makes her way into the Australian ‘bush’ for a second time… and this time, it’s closure!

Whilst the glamourpuss has she won’t cause any trouble in the I’m A Celeb… jungle, claiming that she’s only going on the show to get some peace and quiet – yeah, right.

The star said; “I’ve had a crap year and the fairytale has ended. I’m going in for closure. I’ll get some bloody peace and quiet! People think I’m breaking down, I’ve lost the plot… They’ve got all these perceptions, but I think that when people see me again, like last time, they’ll see I’m grounded.”

So, are YOU looking forward to seeing Miss Price eating bugs and being surrounded by creepy crawlies? To be honest I think good on her… she’s a had a tough year and taken it on the chin… she isn’t shying away from the public opinion of her, but using it to her advantage… you go girl.

Alex Reid Gets His Own TV Show! November 12, 2009

Posted by Ruth in : Ruth's Ramblings, TV , add a comment

Stop Press! The world has gone absolutely bonkers and offered Alex Reid his own TV show…. I know!! What on EARTH could Alex ‘I’m.only.famous.because.I’m.dating.Jordan’ Reid have that we would want to watch?

Okay, so his missus might be out of the country frolicking around in the I’m A Celebrity…. jungle, but it seems as though he doesn’t have to worry about how he’s going to be making money in her absence, as Bravo have signed him up to star in Alex Reid: The Fight Of His Life. Brilliant.

The show will follow the z-lister as he trains for a bout with a Martial Arts middleweight champion called Tom “Kong” Watson, travelling the world and training hard… all culminating in a  two and a half hour special showing the fight in full. Well, if he lasts two and a half hours without crashing out.

Whilst I already think I’m washing my hair that night, will YOU be tuning in?
