“Stars who have comforted Travolta and his wife with messages and phone calls include fellow Scientologist Tom Cruise.”

Katie Holmes Would Beat Britney Spears To Hollywood’s Highest Earning Whore

KRISTIN Billie Davis, formerly of Wicked Models escort service, frequented by now former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, tells Steppin Out magazine what various celebs – Britney Spears, Katie Holmes etc. – would earn if she pimped them out.

Davis reveals herself to be the worst agent since Alan Shearer’s advisor told him to turn down Manchester United.

Her top earner is… Katie Holmes. The best thing about Holmes is that she can keep going for hours, days, even weeks at a time without taking a rest. Punters may even pay her extra to stop.

1. Britney Spears: If she cleaned herself up maybe I could get a thousand dollars an hour for her. But if was the old Britney before she went crazy I could have gotten $2,000 easy.

Mad for it!

Burki has a pierced nose – yeah, a bit like a dairy cow – and ripped jeans “Eliana Burki is a symbol of anarchy in the Swiss alphorn scene”.

KARL Lagerfeld eats mink, ermine and foxes. He once made badger lolly and dipped it into a chocolate lab. Says he:

“In a meat-eating world, wearing leather for shoes and clothes and even handbags, the discussion of fur is childish.”

“There are nearly 30 per cent of young people who are too fat. So let’s take care of the zillions of the too fat before we talk about the percentage that’s left.
