Is Katie Price dumb or a smart business woman?

Katie Price is at it again - teasing the press with engagement and stories of falling ‘in love’ for the zillionth time. The object of her latest affections is builder Kieran Hayler a part time stripper who predictably has a stomach that looks like a cattle grid. Nothing less than an beautifully carved eight pack for our Katie.

 

If she does indeed wed 25 year old Hayler,Katie Price – Silly School Girl or Media Mogul?  Articles this will be her third marriage. First came Peter Andre who is now firmly embedded in the British psyche after their joint reality TV show and tabloid split in 2009. Soon after came the cross-dressing cage fighter (not a sentence you hear often) Alex Reid. He had hardly dried his eyes when she was getting those acrylic nails into model Leandro Penna who after only a few short months announced an impending engagement. But Penna and Price never made it up the aisle and despite it being a ‘mutual split’ where Katie insisted that they will ‘remain the best of friends’ they haven’t been seen sharing an espresso in designer sandals since.

 

It is only eleven weeks since that split and yet again the tabloids are full of her new engagement that she accepted on Christmas Day. She announced it via The Sun, her pet favourite red topped paper and said “Kieran and I talked about marriage a few times and he proposed to me over Christmas dinner.” “It just feels right…life is short so when something feels right, I just go for it.

 

Is She Just the girl next door?

Don’t we all know girls like her? Or at least we did at school…Falling in and out of love every minute (or eleven weeks in this case) only to utter the old cliché that ‘it’s really love this time’ or ‘I’ve never felt like this before’. Whilst we, the normal sensible classmate gently remind her that is exactly what she said last time.

 

All publicity is good publicity

 

But is Katie really that naive? I doubt it. This is a woman who has made a £45 million fortune out of her love hate relationship with the press. For every announcement she makes, every engagement ring she flounces in front of the paparazzi, she is guaranteed more column inches and it keeps her brand alive. She is a brand after all. First Jordan and now Katie Price has eight novels to her name, equestrian products, three perfumes, lingerie, swimwear and who knows what will be next.

 

Does there come a point that the classmate gets sick of her attention seeking antics, which are only orchestrated to keep you interested in her friendship? Don’t be fooled by the pretence, there is some serious PR behind this announcement of ‘love’.
