The Ring Recycle
‘EASTENDERS bosses need not worry about the stolen scripts being leaked to the newspapers.
‘Give me a ring on 0800 NONEWS’ |
Even in the middle of silly season, no papers going to alienate its readers by printing any more of the tedious tosh than they have to.
Theyd prefer to regurgitate two-week old stories than give the Ferreiras any more publicity and so thats what the Star does today.
Jordan In Wedding Shock, says its front-page excuse for publishing some sexy, new pictures of the overinflated glamour model.
And inside it tells how the 26-year-old is now on sparkling form after getting engaged to pint-sized Aussie poster Peter Andre.
The gorgeous glamour girls hunky lover surprised her, the paper reports, by going down on one knee and producing a whopping £5,000 diamond ring.
Regular readers will immediately notice something wrong with this story and not just that if Peter went down in one knee he wouldnt be able to see over the side of the table.
It is that it bears a remarkable similarity to the Suns story of July 29th, which also took place on the Maldives island of Ringali and which also involved Andre giving his girlfriend a £5,000 diamond sparkler.
In fact, the only difference between the two stories is that in the Suns version the couple were on the island filming a pilot for a show called laughingly VIP Get Me Out Of Here, while in the Stars version they were filming a video of Peters track All Time Girl.
As they say in Tabloidland, you really couldnt make it up…’
