My claim to fame .... being rejected by Alex Reid ?

Locked room for breakables when grandkids stay?

Poor women. It looks like another relationship has gone terribly wrong.
I’ve always liked her and really hope she finds happiness one day.
On a wider note, ( & my sister is one ) why do some women think any man is better than no man?
I’m not suggesting KP thinks that, but plenty of women put up with such awful men, sometimes for their entire lives.

Better than mine Amber when the kids were little I worked as a chamber maid and I made Bernie Cliftons bed that’s my one and only claim to fame ???
I didn’t realise that I’d entertained ( drinks) Glenda Jackson on my boat until I saw her in Women in Love a couple of years later.
I recognised the man with her: Richard Greene the actor.

Ah BlueBelle, but it got you to the final of ‘Rubbish Claims to Fame’ (what a thread! Even if I do say so myself)
In fact, if it was down to me, you would have won.
The actual winner was Riverwalk and her convoluted connection to the Donkey from The Durrells
I remember KP saying that Reid had quite specific requirements in the bedroom department
Yes she has a habit of badmouthing former partners.
Alex Reid successfully sued her for playing a video of him in the bedroom to her CBB housemates when off camera. He was terribly bullied over this and was close to suicide. She only married him because he’d just won CBB and it was another chance to be in the limelight and get back at Peter Andre.
I know she has her supporters on here but she’s not a very nice person underneath her ‘great mother’ exterior.
I read an interview with Reid in The Guardian Magazine, of all places. He seemed like a nice chap, but very intense. It’s hard to imagine that they were well suited.
I can’t say that Reid going public with his alter ego ‘Roxanne’ was a good move though 
Did Bernie Clifton sleep with Oswald?
I didn’t know that was his name!
Oh Jane, you would have loved that thread! It gave me so much pleasure. We even had an anonymous vote by pm 
Well I didn’t see Oswold but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen janejudge
I think Katie is very very damaged woman I don’t know her back story, childhood etc, but she clings to anyone, and I mean anyone, who shows her attention
I think she is sad rather than bad tickingbird I m certainly not a supporter but I don’t think she means to be as awful as she sometimes comes across
Has anyone read her story did she have an abusive childhood ?
I've not read much about her childhood. But there are a lot of similarities between mine and Katie's life minus the glamour modelling and awful men
and I have struggled quite a lot with my own child with a disability and how I coped and felt was very isolating, so I feel compassion towards her. I think we all have the capacity to think outside of own life experience and think how different it could have been.
I think Katie would be happier if she was sleeping with Oswald too
Yes, it’s in her first book.
She was raped when she was seven.
that is dreadful
Having just heard on a radio programme that Katie has ‘dumped’ Carl Woods it’s pretty obvious it was him who beat her, without being named so not the grounded, sensible, perfectly nice young man you were rooting for Amber
Its an unfortunate fact that most beatings are by the ‘loving partner’
I think Katie is a troubled soul, that seems to go from one disaster to another, her constant cosmetic procedures are a worry, lost count of how many she’s had, she’s a very insecure lady, my advice would be to take time out on her own away from the media circus that she is in, but doubtful she will do that, as the more she puts herself out there the more attention and money she makes, it’s a merry go round, I do think her children seem quite happy though, all seem to get on, and Harvey from what we know is doing well,
Another relationship has ended acrimoniously. At the TV Awards the other night it was reported that she was trying to get off with several different men. It all smacks of desperation. I suppose she will put herself through more cosmetic surgery in a bid to try to stem the advancing years. She craves the limelight and at any price, I think. The sort of men she will attract now will be those interested by what's in it for them rather than any love for her. I feel I could write the next chapter in her life.
Now she has been in a car crash whilst banned I believe, and immediately admitted to have taken cocaine and been drinking
Oh dear this poor woman is going to be a victim of her own unhappiness if she is not careful
I do feel for anyone dealing with their private lives with the press infront of them.
I'm really not sure how these show biz reporters sleep at night.
She needs help and privacy.
I hope her children are being shielded, taken care of, loved and cuddled.
She desperately needs help, I feel even more sorry for her because she said she was driving to a friends house when she had the crash because she felt so lonely. Alcohol, drugs and loneliness is a very toxic combination. I hope she has a strong network of friends to support her, she needs that much more than a man in her life.

Just seen this Bluebelle thanks to someone resurrecting the thread.
Ah well. Another one bites the dust. I'm always willing to give someone the benefit of the doubt, until proven otherwise. I hope one day she finds her perfectly nice, sensible young man. But even if she did she would probably kick him in the teeth. Which may be why she always ends up with losers - the nice ones have learnt to stay away. Sad.
I feel for her she is such a sad complex person that she will attract the wrong men and I m sure she’s not easy to be around too
I think she is desperately lonely and that why she keeps trying to bring someone into her life … anyone
She needs time out to heal herself and learn to love herself and be satisfied with her own company
I believe she’s put herself in the priory
I hope she gets the help she so badly needs
She pled guilty today to 3 counts: drink driving (almost double the limit), driving while disqualified and driving with no insurance, she also tested positive for cocaine at the scene of the crash but the CPS chose not to pursue this in return for a guilty plea.
She has 6 previous driving convictions/bans
She is to enter rehab at the Priory until her sentencing in mid December.
She is crying out for help and not from yet another unsuitable man hanging on her name and 'celebrity' status. She needs to come to terms with the fact that she is in her mid 40's with countless cosmetic surgery operations inflicted on her body which have resulted in an almost cartoon-like appearance. Nobody wants to see her half naked anymore. I hope rehab can do the trick but she is facing a long road back to good health both physically and mentally.
Wow tickingbird so you know her personally !
I very much any of that is more than your assumption. Like her or not, she is a human being and needs some privacy and everyone deserves kindness.
Whether she's broken the law is for the law to deal with and mental health is an awful thing to deal with and when you have people writing such negativity, they can be the words that make her jump.
Please becareful about peoples feelings. I know nothing about Katie, only what the media would want us to think. But where is sisterhood here and I for one will shoot up a prayer for her and her family at this time.
