We wanted to believe it was all a publicity stunt. And we are still holding out hope. But maybe Katie Price means business in her split from Peter Andre after all.
She of the giant boobs has reportedly hired Paul McCartney’s top divorce lawyer Fiona Shackleton to protect her assets if the estranged pair heads to court.
Shackleton repped the former Beatle during his messy breakup from Heather Mills, and famously received a jug of water upside the head after she managed to keep the majority of his fortune away from the high-energy, lunatic digger of gold.
She’s certainly battle-tested, in any case.
Elsewhere, the British celebrity gossip magazines are having a field day and are predictably packed with lurid stories about the truth behind their split.
Among the rumors:
- The reality TV stars haven’t had sex in two years.
- Katie Price reportedly said it was over … a year ago.
- Peter Andre may be compiling evidence about her parenting skills to try and win custody of their two small children.
- It was “shocking photos” of Katie cozying up to a mystery man – her openly gay friend – that caused Peter to bag it.
Who knows what is true and what is mere celebrity gossip. But it’s depressing, possibly exaggerated and untrue stuff, indeed. We do hope it is all a publicity stunt, if only for the kids. And so Katie and Peter will continue to entertain us.
