Katie Price and Peter Andre’s split all a publicity stunt?




About two weeks ago, Katie Price started to talk about making a ‘massive comeback’.
She felt anxious, she confided, because she thought that she was simply not earning enough. Indeed, she had dyed her hair a plain brown because she said she was ‘fed up’ with paying to have her highlights attended to.
Gary Cockerill, her great friend and regular make-up artist, was told that she was reducing his hours because she was feeling the pinch.
Even her mother Amy could not cheer her up - Katie was in a miserable humour. But having been in America for months, paying rent on a house in Malibu but not earning any money, she felt broke and forgotten, and fretted that she had been eclipsed by Jade Goody.
And there is nothing which annoys Katie (who has built up a £30million fortune) more than the threat of obscurity.
A source who spent time with her during this period recalls that she was grumbling about the ‘thunder thighs’ she had built up training for the London Marathon, and was even more bad tempered than usual with her husband Peter Andre.
Katie told the source that she was going to reinvent herself in some spectacular way - which she did not specify - and confided that she was going on one of her juice-only detox diets to try to shed a stone to be ready for the blaze of publicity she was about to attract.
These are the sort of meanderings to which the 30-year-old former glamour model is prone, and nobody took much notice, as she often talks about wanting to be the nation’s biggest star again.

Happy couple? All seemed well between Katie and Peter when they appeared at the British Soap Awards the day before announcing their split

On the run: Peter and Katie ran the London Marathon together last month

Products to promote: An equestrian range is one of the products Katie is currently seeking publicity for while Peter has a new album out soon

I do, again: Katie and Peter have already sold their wedding and renewed their vows, but expect another ceremony and magazine deal if they have a reconciliation.

Fifty has never looked so fabulous! Madonna celebrated her 50th birthday Saturday at a trendy London club Volstead. "It was a small party," a source confirms to people. "A private event for her close family and friends. It was low key." And despite lingering rumors of marital strife, the elaborate bash was organized by her husband Guy Ritchie. "She looks better now than she ever has done," her director husband told the 90 gathered guests, according to Britain's The Sun. "I'm so proud. I love her so much." Highlights of the evening, which had people dancing til 3 a.m. included Madonna's daughter Lourdes serenading her on the piano and illusionist David Blaine performing card tricks. Later, as the deejay blasted the singer's greatest hits, she hit the dancefloor with Lourdes and sons Rocco and David. But it was back to business Sunday morning, when the pop star was spotted heading to the gym for her usual daily worko...

Bret Michaels: I Still Love Ambre Lake

Poison frontman Bret Michaels will be looking for Miss Right again when VH1’s Rock of Love Bus starts shooting next month, but future contestants be warned: he’s still not over season 2 winner Ambre Lake. “I still love her,” Michaels told people on his luxury tour bus Tuesday night moments before stepping onstage at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey. “I’m not really over her yet. We still hang. She was just out with me a couple days ago and we were having a great time. She’s really got it. I think she’s great.” Season 1 winner Jessica Rickleff dumped the rocker soon after the show ended. In April, Michaels thought he had found love again in 37-year-old Lake. But in July, people reported that they broke up because of their conflicting work schedules. “The reason for destruction of all my relationships is that I’m passionate about being on the road and making music,” he says. “I have great relationships. But the women I date don’t realize that I spend between 6 and ...
