Katie Price's fury at exes who she blames for bankruptcy despite huge splurging
Former glamour model Katie Price, 47, believes that her tumultuous six years of financial woes are all down to one reason - the men in her life Katie Price was declared bankrupt for a second time in March of this year, with a significant tax debt of over £750,000 cleared. However, the former glamour model, 47, believes that her tumultuous six years of financial woes are all down to one reason - the men in her life. Speaking back in March, she lashed out at her exes, claiming they "mentally abused her" and that she "wouldn't be tormented in [her] brain" if they hadn't been around. She said: "If men had not been in my life, I wouldn't be in the bankruptcy things that I've been in. I wouldn't be tormented in my brain or mentally abused like I have been." Katie also revealed she believes she may have started glamour modelling due to the problems she has had with men. She told Elizabeth Day's How to Fail podcast: "Because it's like, you can look at me in a magazine but you cant touch me. I have therapy all because of men." The mum-of-five added that she had PTSD, which she claimed was caused by men, but has now learned that 'opening up the lines of communication' is the 'best way forward'. The Pricey has had a complicated love life, having been married three times and engaged four. After getting divorced from Peter Andre, Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler, her latest break-up was with on/off fiancé, Carl Woods - before she moved on to her current partner, Married At First Sight star, JJ Slater. Yet, Katie's love of plastic surgery has left fans concerned over the last decade - and not just because of the potential medical implications. She has had at least 16 boob jobs and most recently underwent surgery in a bid to have the 'largest boobs in Britain'. Katie is also an avid fan of fillers - having had injections in her lips and face to plump up her pout and smooth out her features. Earlier this year, she showed off her new lips and new buttocks after having it plumped up. The costs of the tweaks were revealed, with the recent procedures pushing the amount she has spent changing her body to £130,000. In January, the Daily Mail claimed the star had spent £84,000 on changing the size of her breasts alone - while she has also had liposuction and Botox as well as other procedures. Katie had work done with Life Aesthetics - a company which offers Brazilian bum lifts starting from £1,700. She also showed off the results of a Butterfly Lip injection - which reconstructed the shape of her lips so the top lip is puffed up and back to show off her teeth. The procedure costs from £550. Last year, Katie went on many holidays and treated herself to tattoos and beach activities. She enjoyed a sunny getaway in Spain and also travelled to Thailand to top up her tap. She sometimes went with some of her children and even had her ex-fiancé Carl Woods tag along on several beachside getaways. While she's at home in the UK, she's busy with her mansion and cars. Katie was banned from driving following an accident near her home in Sussex in September 2021. She flipped her car BMW X5 during the crash and was handed a 16-week prison sentence suspended for 12 months, a two-year driving ban and 100 hours of community service after admitting to drink driving while disqualified and without insurance. However, the ban was lifted early last year and she celebrated by treating herself to a set of new wheels, reportedly worth £50,000. Katie - who is mum to son Harvey, 22, with Dwight Yorke, Junior, 19, and Princess, 17, with ex-husband Peter Andre, and son Jett, 11, and daughter Bunny, 10, from her third marriage to Kieran Hayler - also recently opened up about the astonishing amount she spends on her weekly food shop. Opening up about her spending habits on her podcast The Katie Price Show, the proud mum said: "I do weekly shops, I spend about £500-£700 a week. "Sometimes we all go [to the shops]. I hate it because I say to them, we all get a trolley each, and Princess and Ed fill theirs up whereas Junior and Jasmine are careful with what they put in. They look at the prices and stuff and I just put everything in."

Iconic Actress Recalls 'Crazy' Run-In With Taylor Swift: 'I Hate Myself'
—she's just like us! The 10 Things I Hate About You star detailed the "crazy" run-in she once had with in the Wednesday, May 21 episode of the podcast How to Fail, where she begrudgingly opened up about meeting the superstar at a 'game night party' they were both invited to. Stiles, 44, joked, 'God, I hate myself right now," as she dove into the tale. "The biggest name-dropping I could do—but it happened and it's awesome.' Swift, she said, just "has that presence" where you "could just feel" her entering the room. She wasn't planning on bothering the Eras Tour artist that night, but as she was getting ready to leave, someone intervened, letting her know that Swift was interested in saying hi to her.'...he was like, 'She really likes your work,'" the actress recalled, adding that she "blacked out" as they shook hands. "I don't remember, actually, what happened after that—but she said something very nice to me.' Stiles further 'dissociated for a second' while the two chatted, but eventually "worked up the courage" to praise the musician. "You're amazing; this is crazy," she told her, recalling the way she "looked like she genuinely appreciated it." While "there used to be a part of [her]" that insisted she "play it cool" when crossing paths with another actor or artist that she admired, more recently she's "discovered that everybody that's a performer wants to know people are listening to their music or watching their movies or care at all." Now, she's "totally, unselfconsciously ready to say" how fantastic she thinks somebody is. 'Even somebody like Taylor Swift, who is the biggest star on the planet, seems humble enough or just positive enough to be like, 'Yeah, I'm glad that bazillions of people like to listen to my music,'" she pointed out. "They don't take it for granted.'

Harry Potter Star Miriam Margolyes Raises Health Concerns: 'Doesn't Have Long To Live'
Published By : Bang Showbiz Miriam Margolyes, 83, revealed she doesn't have "long to live" after a major heart operation in 2023. She struggles with spinal stenosis and mobility issues. Miriam Margolyes has revealed she doesn't have 'long to live" after a major heart operation. The 83-year-old actress, who played Professor Sprout in the 'Harry Potter' film franchise, underwent a procedure in 2023 to replace an aortic valve, which ensured she avoided more invasive open heart surgery. She told The Times newspaper: 'When you know that you haven't got long to live – and I'm probably going to die within the next five or six years, if not before, I'm loath to leave behind performing. It's such a joy. I yearn to play roles that don't confine me to wheelchairs, but I'm just not strong enough." Shortly after the operation, she admitted she'd 'never heard of" the procedure before, but she was glad to have got it done. She told Jessie and Lennie Ware's 'Table Manners' podcast: 'I've got a cow's heart now – well, not the whole heart. I've had an aortic valve replaced by a cow's aortic valve. I don't know how common it is. I'd never heard of that operation. But it saves you from having open heart surgery, which would be infinitely more invasive." Last summer, Miriam admitted she is struggling to walk, and also confessed she regrets not making serious life changes after the 2023 procedure. She told Closer magazine about how she is suffering spinal stenosis – a condition that puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves: 'I can't walk very well, and I'm registered disabled, so I use all kinds of assistance. 'I've got two sticks and a walker and they're such a bore, but I've just got a mobility scooter, which is a lot of fun." Miriam added in her interview she wished she had been able to conquer her weight and considers not doing so a defeat. She previously told the 'How to Fail' podcast: 'I am a blubber mass. I am fat. And to be fat and 82 is truly pathetic." Miriam has also shared her fears about ageing and said she is scared she will not be afford carers to look after her as her health deteriorates. She told the Radio Times magazine: 'I'm worried that I won't have enough money for carers when I finally get paralysed, or whatever it is that's going to happen to me." First Published:

Podcast Corner: Jameela Jamil aims to be uninspiring on Wrong Turns
Jameela Jamil, an actress best known for The Good Place, a sitcom with a good idea that faded once it stretched past its first season, hosted the I Weigh podcast for four years. It ran from a month into lockdown in 2020 to the end of 2024, expanding from, as the title suggests, ideas of body shaming to talk of activism in local politics, disinformation, and dismantling gender violence. Perhaps she grew tired of the often heavy content, or maybe she just listened to a lot of How to Fail with Elizabeth Day and felt inspired, but either way, she's back with a new podcast called Wrong Turns - 'for anyone who feels like their life is one disaster after another'. Jamil explains at the outset of the first episode: 'This is a podcast that celebrates shame and indignity. I'm just fucking sick of all of the inspiration we're supposed to draw from all of the terrible moments in life, and I feel like we're overdosing on it online, and I just want somewhere where I can chill and just own my clusterfucks without it needing to have a silver fucking lining. And I wanted to bring my friends on to commiserate with me. We are anti-inspiration, pro-commiseration.' She's got a lot of celebrity pals to draw on - the first episode is with Mae Martin, a comedian, actor, writer, producer, and recording artist; and Bob the Drag Queen, a winner of Ru Paul's Drag Race. The second features We're Here to Help hosts Jake Johnson and Gareth Reynolds, and Eric Edelstein ( Parks and Recreation, Twin Peaks). 'Do you feel like disaster is drawn onto you?' Jamil asks them. Cue some very giddy banter as they throw themselves into the topic. It escalates so quickly that, not eight minutes in, Bob is telling a story about a vicious dressing down he gave to a pimply kid who was making fun of him when they were in seventh grade together. 'And then next year he's in a wheelchair. Because it wasn't a pimple. It was a brain tumour. He's dead. Fully dead to this day.' It's a stark story but it's played to Jamil and Martin laughing hysterically (and nervously?). A really weird moment. Whether you want to continue with the podcast after that is up to you. Finding Lucinda: Last autumn, The Road to Joni podcast traversed the US on the way to the Hollywood Bowl for a pair of rarely spotted Joni Mitchell shows, talking to various fans and followers along the way. Finding Lucinda is in the same vein as young singer-songwriter ISMAY goes on a road trip of self-discovery to trace the roots of their musical hero, Lucinda Williams, talking to collaborators and archivists along the way.
