Kerry Katona - WE LOVE HER AND THAT IS THAT

Lost in Showbiz had one helluva night last night, I tell thee that for free. Kerry Katona, herewith known as THE GODDESS, was interviewed at the Soho Theatre about her new novel (discussion to follow) by, um, me. While humility would normally prevent me from mentioning events with which I've had personal involvement there were some revelations that I simply cannot keep to myself.

Where oh where to begin? THE GODDESS insisting that "one in three mums have smoked or whatever while pregnant. Probably"? Or maybe her claim that "I bet loads of you have had a line or two before coming here tonight" (it was 7pm. On a Tuesday.) Or maybe her dismissal of any questions relating to specific parts of her autobiography because she "never read it." You know, I reckon THE GODDESS can speak for herself on this one so let's just record for posterity her top three quotes:

3. "I'm sweating so much it looks like I've wet m'self. It's like the bloody Thames down there!"

2. On whether it's harder dealing with fame on her own than when she was in Atomic Kitten: "It is because I'm on my own. Mind you, they're after Mark [her husband] now so he's like a kitten. Well, he likes pussy."

1. On the photographers swarming around her: "It's like flies on shit!"

Not enough celebrities compare themselves to shit these days, I feel. And for that reason I am spending the rest of the day prostrate at the altar of la Katona. She rule. RULES.
