9:24AM Clem Bastow | Former Celebrity Mum Of The Year and Atomic Kitten reject Kerry Katona has lashed out at the UK tabloids, as she reckons they treat her worse than Britney Spears.
The thing is, Kerry, it could be argued that Britney – like you – just lives her life as she sees fit and the press report it with minimal editorialising.
Well, that was at least what we were going to run with, until the Mail opened
their piece on the matter with this:
If this is what Kerry Katona looks like after five hours of pampering at a salon we’d hate to see the ‘before’ photos.
Nice! They then grudgingly mention that her eating-all-the-pies visage, you know, may have something to do with the fact that she’s heavily pregnant, but like, whatever. Anyway, back to Kerry herself:
Kerry, who last night hosted a late-night baby shower at London’s Hospital nightclub attended by Big Brother stars Ziggy Lichman and Sam and Amanda Marchant, said: “I’m the British Britney Spears, which is ridiculous.”
“The press write what they want to write about me. Once they’ve built you up, they try to pull you down and they’ve been doing it for the last two years now.
“You show me one picture of me taking cocaine or coming out of a nightclub in the last two years.
“I’ve admitted taking it for about a year but look at Amy Winehouse, Pete Doherty and Kate Moss. They’re legends for it and I don’t do it any more.
“I’ve just recently done a drugs test which I had to do for a court case and of course it came back negative, which I knew it would anyway.
“It’s just unfair. I want people to forget what they read and remember the Kerry that won in the jungle because that’s still me.”
“The Kerry that won in the jungle” refers to her time on I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!
And, you know what? All that stuff we said about a lack of editorialising the facts of Chipshop’s misdemeanours? We take it all back. As we were scrolling through the story, in the links pane to the right we saw this:
Okay, Kerry, we believe you now.
