Meet the Brits: Katie + Peter


I'm in love.
On Tuesday, I got some one-on-one time with British celebrity couple Katie Price and Peter Andre. If you don't know who they are, trust me, you soon will. Their hit reality show, Katie + Peter, is finally coming to America, and it's right here on E! The photo above was taken just this week while they were shopping on—where else?—ultratrendy Robertson Boulevard.I'll admit I didn't expect much from our meet and greet yesterday. Katie—also known as Jordan—is a blond sexpot pinup with surgically enhanced boobs that put Dolly Parton's top shelf to shame. As for Peter, he's a pop singer with tweezed eyebrows who actually color coordinates his and Katie's outfits.

However, they won me over.
Why? Because for all the plastic surgery and garish fashions, they're real. I'd go so far as to say they're down-to-earth.
Their big concern right now is where they will live if their show is a hit. Their kids are top priority as they house hunt in the Beverly Hills area. "The most important thing for us is the schooling, because one of our children has special needs," Peter says.
Four-year-old Harvey (Katie's son with her soccer player ex-boyfriend Dwight Yorke) is blind. Katie and Peter's first child together, Junior Savva Andre, was born in September 2005. Katie is expected to give birth to their second baby (they don't know the sex) in June.
Since she's pregnant, I asked about her cravings—anything exotic? "Ice cubes," Katie says. "I think it's just the crunch of them. I'm not into ice lollies or ice cream. It's just ice cubes. I'm obsessed with them."
Despite her silliness, Katie can also be downright serious. She went public with her battle with postpartum depression. "I was on medication for eight months," she said. "There are so many women out there who suffer, and if you have someone in the public eye talking about it, it'll probably make them feel better."

Katie also tells me she had hoped to but never got the chance to meet Anna Nicole Smith. They were supposed to do a photo shoot together last year, but it fell through because of scheduling conflicts. "Even though she was a big gal, it suited her," Katie said. "I always told Peter that I thought she was gorgeous."

Glitz and glam aside, Katie insists she can be a role model. Not only is she a model, she also has her own clothing, hair product and lingerie lines, among many other business ventures. She's also published two memoirs. "I want to show people out there that you can be a mom and you can have a career and you can reach whatever dream you want," she says. "You can do anything you put your mind to."
And if you want to do it with double D's, blond extensions and barely there minidresses, more power to ya!
