We don’t usually cover British star-for-no-reason Katie Price, aka Jordan. She’s like the British Kim Kardashian in that she’s famous for having a sex tape, a reality show, putting out a bunch of merchandise with her name on it, selling her life story, and turning herself into a living plastic doll. (Jordan predates Kim, so maybe Jordan was Kim’s career inspiration, not Paris Hilton.)

Anyway Katie is trying to kick out her husband of all of 11 months, former adult film actor and professional cagefighter Alex Reid, but Reid is said to be staying put in another wing of the couple’s mansion. Apparently Katie is upset that Reid posed for a photo in which he appears to be training her five year-old son, Junior (with ex husband Peter Andre), to fight. He’s also said to have angered her by following her career path and cashing in on her “celebrity.” Katie called Andre a famewhore or something, as if that wasn’t obvious to her from the get-go, and is said to be seeking a divorce. The couple has no prenup, so of course money will be an issue. While Reid was initially trying to save the marriage, and plead his case to the press about how it was all a misunderstanding, it’s thought that he’s accepted that it’s over and is just trying to get the best payout. Katie’s first ex husband, Peter Andre, has of course chimed in:

JILTED Alex Reid yesterday taunted wife Jordan – telling her: “Give me £2million or I’ll NEVER move out.”

Alex, 35, insisted it would cost that much for him to walk away from their 11-month marriage.

The cage fighter’s demand, which would be part of a final divorce settlement, came as he received support from Jordan’s ex, Peter Andre.

The singer, 37, told a pal: “I actually feel sorry for Alex – she is obviously trying to make him look like the bad guy when it seems he loved her.”

The furious star spoke out after Jordan, 32 – real name Katie Price – said Alex was a “sponging Peter clone”. Meanwhile, a pal of Jordan’s claimed she had been left devastated by Alex’s request.

It came after he had agreed to move out and sign a gagging order stopping him from talking about their marriage.

Alex then made a last-minute U-turn after speaking to his family about what was on offer. Jordan’s friend said: “Most people haven’t seen Katie cry, but she was in fits after this call.

“Alex had finally agreed to release a statement about the end of their marriage and move out. He then went to the gym. Katie called him to see if he had run everything past his lawyers and he just started to laugh.

“Alex said he had changed his mind and that there was absolutely no way she was getting rid of him that easily.”

Last night cross-dresser Alex was again staying at Jordan’s mansion in Woldingham, Surrey, arriving at 11pm. Jordan is still living in the home – in a separate wing to Alex. She is said to have considered moving out, but her disabled son Harvey, seven, needs the home’s special facilities.

She claims Alex has made a fortune from their relationship – getting £200,000 for his own TV show and £75,000 for a magazine column.

Here’s the thing – this woman is getting more press for this divorce than she has in months if not years (since her last divorce) so she’ll ultimately profit from this breakup even if she has to give Alex a hefty settlement. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s playing up this whole controversy and marital trouble to earn more headlines.

*Note that reports differ as to where Katie is living. The Sun has her in another wing of the mansion while The Daily Mail reports in a video segment that she’s moved in with friends.

Katie and Alex are shown out shopping on 9/29/10. I guess they epitomize what the British call “chavs.” Katie is also shown promoting her clothing line on 1/8/11. Credit: WENN.com
