Angel - Katie Price

BACKGROUND: We live, it appears, in the age of the “Super Celebrity”. The characteristics of this type of celebrity is a hunger for world domination, an intense restlessness and a clear “grass is greener” attitude .

I had this book free with a copy of a magazine and it sat unopened for months. I finally decided to give it a go after getting a headache reading too much Stephen Fry.

Katie Price - Angel So, for those of you that don't know, Katie Price is the real name of the mega-famous glamour model, Jordan. I wouldn't call myself a fan of hers, but I've watched the occasional documentary of her and Peter Andre and have come to the conclusion that underneath everything she actually seems like quite a nice, normal girl.
