Adventures of Gamblegirl: What is going on?!??!
Madness I tell you, madness
Okay I can't ignore it for much longer, I just have to talk about the re-surregence of Peter Andre. For those that did the wise thing and forgotten about him, over here, there is no way you can ignore him. He's everywhere thanks to his appearance on Get Me Out Of Here I'm a Celeb... Suddenly he's gone from the pages of pop history to a mega celeb again.
Any one that watch Get Me Out Of Here and that has half a brain and taste would realise what a k*** he is, but this seems to have eluded the common sense of the British public. Pete's 15 mins have now been extended to 30+.
So let's do a now and then comparrison:
THEN: It's late 90's, europop is having a re-surrgence and along comes Petey. He has the 6 pack, the oily smoothness and can claim to be born in the UK. The public love him in here and Aussie land. He has a very dodgy but catchy hits, mainly the hit Mysterious Girl. Clip has Pete on the beach topless, hormonal teenage girls go mad. Has a few famous flings, Mel B (who is now batting for the same team, so gotta make you wonder) being the most famous of the lot. Career highpoint - performs at Wembley Stadium.
NOW: It's 2004, Pete's career has well.... died. He's quit the music business, slunk home to Aussie land and has got a job in his parents hotel. He divides his time between Qld and Cyprus where he works in another family hotel. On the side, he records a few "going now where" songs. Fame aludes our poor little battler and in desperation he agrees to Get Me Out Of Here. Suddenly the Andre explosion is on. See there's a shy retiring girl on Get Me Out Of Here called Jordan who is discrete with the news she shares and coy on the gory details of her partners. Oh who am I kidding. Jordan's famous for having massive boobs, being a right ol' slapper and spilling the gory details of her flings. But apparently there's a hidden side to her called Katie Price. This is yet to be confirmed or sighted.
Within mere seconds, Andre has found his mark and the Andre / Jordan relationship is splashed all over the tabloids. Then suddenly Mysterious Girl is played on the radio and Pete in pure boredom writes a dumb lame song called Insomania (will look for the lyrics for you to show how lame it is) whilst in the Jungle. The result - Jordan and Pete are the new "Posh and Becks", are in every mag you can think of, Pete's got a new record deal and Mysterious Girl has crashed back into No1 (original highest placing is no 2) and he's the man of the moment. Jordan is officially "retiring" her party girl image to become Katie Price to please her new man.
But seriously UK, did you even watch or listen to the Pete Man? He was such a sucky sleaze - a major knob. He'd say the most stoopidest things like "feet, what are they good for?" Um here's a tip - WALKING PETER!! (will find the list of quotes that he's uttered and add them to this email for you).
Oh but I wish that I could watch Pete fade back into the obscurity that he belongs in. As Andy Warhol said "Everybody deserves 15 minutes of fame" but as TISM finishes "For some that's too long!"
