Sky Showbiz – Jordan In Book Award Fight — OK, sometimes someething gets under the radar, although this is hard to imagine with this girl. Her name is Katie Price and since 1996 she’s been the UK’s version of Paris Hilton without the money. For some reason (I’m sure a Brit can tell me why) she named herself Jordan, perhaps after the Jordan Almond because she’s nuts. It’s supposedly her middle name too. She’s a notable publicity hound and in the UK in the news all the time. Here’s the latest about her. Apparently in the UK she’s a great writer too!

However, the pregnant glamour model has just seen her luck change after being short-listed for a literary prize.

Her biography, Being Jordan, has been nominated alongside the biography of former US president Bill Clinton and actress Sheila Hancock.

Other names to be nominated for the annual British Book Awards include Paul Gascoigne, Sir Clive Woodward and Olympic medal winners Kelly Holmes and Matthew Pinsent in the sports book of the year category.

In competition? Here’s an apparent excerpt from her autobiography. Just perfect for the British public-at-large:

By the time I was 13 years old I knew I was destined to be famous, and even though the first photographer to take glamour shots of me turned out to be a paedophile, I was determined not to let anything stop me from becoming a model and a pop star.

My first boyfriend was called Jeff. I made him wait a month before I let him have sex with me. I make everyone wait a month to prove I’m not easy. Except for the blokes I shag a bit sooner! Jeff had a small willy and I never really enjoyed the sex.

How charming.
