Andrew Gould and Katie Price

[BigRed]

I have just come back from holiday and seen a copy of OK magazine in my local shop, Katie Price and Andrew Gould are in an article pretending to be an item, with photo's of Andrew's wife and Katie having a pretend cat fight - how much money do you think he was paid to humiliate himself this way - and do you think it will damage his dressage career ?

 

[StaceyTanglewood]

oh for god sake does it matter it is a very tongue in cheek shoot that i think polly and Andrew deserved to do after all the hounding from the press they got !!!

I think it just proves how well they all get on and that polly and andrew relationship is very strong !!!

 

[Cavblacks]

He was probably paid far too much! Everything that woman (KP) does gets right on my knackers! Was coming around to her a while ago before her split where she looked like a good mum etc etc but her activities in the recent press annoy me!

 

[Halfstep]

I thought it was extremely cringe making to look at, but if it helps Andrew get himself a top horse (which he is lacking) then who can blame him? I'd do it for that (not that anyone is asking LOL).

Made me giggle to see Polly looking rather nice in a tasteful Gersemi top, next to Katie in her horrid pink tat

 

[kerilli]

maybe he's made enough to go and get himself an amazing new dressage youngster, i hope so. in that position, i would!

 

[BBH]

I'm really surprised tbh, I thought they would have preferred to stay out the limelight, but a big cheque is always an incentive and who wouldn't take it if offered.

AG isn't really a big player on the dressage stage and his association with KP has hugely increased his profile, so why not milk it.

I think the pictures are really tat and un-natural , but everyone can see that his wife Polly looks so much classier than the aging drag queen that is KP, and because they all look so awkward it would be hard to see anything other than a money spinning opportunity in them.

 

[StaceyTanglewood]

I love the picture of Andrew and Polly together though i think this really shows they love each other !!

 

[Muddywellies]

I too was starting to warm to her before her split from Peter Andre, and loved the (very few) bits where she was riding. However, now shes gone right down in my estimations, and I haven't heard anything about her riding for a long time now. Furthermore, I do think D.H could do better. Kind of puts me off them a bit now. Sorry D.H.
As for Andrew and Polly Gould, I too saw the pics. They are HILLARIOUS !!! I was firstly apalled that they would do that, but then changed my mind when I considered what they would have been paid. I sincerely hope KP never comes between them.

Really?? Obviously KP looks her usual tatty self but I thought Polly looked pretty ghastly too tbh! Her clothes were the most unflattering shapes possible for her figure and I thought she looked far worse than when I've seen her at events

Also, not sure anyone who discusses their own boob job in a national magazine is that much 'classier' than KP

 

[spaniel]

I cant stand katie, never could, and now AG is making himself look like a complete tw*t . Watch his career go down the tubes as well now. Silly, very silly. How many more people can that awful woman drag down with her I wonder.

 

[Cyrus]

Both are making quite a few appearances in her new TV show and not just at the yard either I think they have all become very good friends

lol I did cringe slightly at last weeks when she was asking him what he thought of her in her dress that was up her arse lol lol

 

[Dirtymare]

Katie Price really gives women a bad name!!
She has the talant of dragging down the nicest of people!!
Andrew Gould will almost certainly damage his career by hanging out with her!!

 

[millimoo]

I'm suprised they would want to increase the exposure???
I was also a bit dumb struck that they appeared in her show so much - yes i'm sad, but I'm stupidly curious.
Let's face it, any serious Dressage owner is not going to want to send a horse to him by association - well I wouldn't want to anyway.
It's beginning to look like he prefers the trappings of 'celebrity' rather than his day job...... just my opinion!!!

 

[eahotson]

I always thought it was her publicity team that spread the rumour around in the first place.They were dithering between Andrew and Spencer Wilton (should have done their homework shouldn't they?).Don't blame him,the horseworld is hard but think it is a shame.

 

[BBH]

I don't think anyone need worry about the Goulds, I am sure they will make sure they get as much out of her as possible. Any professional horseman will strive to get her to spend as much
money as possible with them, whether that be through liveries, lessons, expensive horses etc.

Also AG is a good looking guy, mixing with the media through her might offer him an opportunity of his own. Bit of presenting here and there.

The only down side I can see is that its a shame the association is not with someone more highly regarded and socially acceptable.

 

[Rollin]

I have never in my life purchased a copy of OK magazine. Can you explain the criteria for being socially acceptable?

Does reading OK count?

BWahahahaha ! Fabulous description!

 

[BBH]

I think most people will have an understanding of what constitutes 'socially acceptable' , and no its not determined by what magazines people read.

 

[Rollin]

From the above it would appear that what you look like is important. Gosh.

haha brilliant!

i've bought OK magazine in the past, so does that make me the 2nd lowest form of life in the world (just above KP)?

i don't regard her as socially unacceptable at all, fwiw.
now, there's a porn queen who lives near me (according to OH's workmates, who know who she is!), i'd regard her as being rather less socially acceptable than KP! and, lower than the porn queen, scuzzies such as those who nicked Scally's tack and apparently have a good little business going, nicking tack in 1 area of the country, travelling elsewhere to sell it, nicking loads there, travelling back here, etc etc. nice. or the ones who stole the gates off the field up north, so all the horses escaped (durr, fancy that) and 4 got killed on the road...
and let's not even think about rapists, paedos, etc etc.

people looking down on KP just confuse me - there are many thousands of people in this country who do deserve our absolute condemnation, but she's not 1 of them imho! what has she actually done that's so heinous, really?
anyway, i wish i had had the drive and determination to turn myself into a multi-millionairess able to buy myself amazing horses, the way KP has done.

 

[Imonone]

Perhaps you should get your boobs and your face pumped up then and see if that does the trick

I too am sad to see that Andrew and Polly have decided to ally themselves closer to KP, whatever the amount of money involved. Even in the dressage world money isnt everything as Carl has proven!

What ? and you think she's done that all on her lonesome without an army of Brand managers behind her. All those books she hasn't written, all the talent she doesn't have. Truly amazing.

 

[Halfstep]

What I find interesting is that despite her undoubted fame and success in her own field, Katie Price seems so desperate to find a way into the dressage world. It is the only way I am able to relate to her. She seems to be as serious as she is capable of being about her riding.

All she knows is showbiz but she wants to be accepted by the dressage community. She's found one of the few male straight, good looking dressage riders around and is piggybacking onto his dressage career. And he is doing the same onto hers for publicity and money. To be honest, Andrew Gould hasn't had a good horse under him for a while, and has never really had a top one. He's a decent, solid, rider but not in the top drawer. I'm sure all of this is extremely good for his business.

well, i'm sure if i went to those brand managers they wouldn't give me 1 minute of time. i refuse to believe she has nothing going for her.

i just hope she finds herself a really good dr trainer, as in the bits i've seen of her riding she looked very wooden. if she really does want to get to the top, fabby horses won't be enough.

I'm not too convinced she's not just playing at the riding to give her a tiny bit of ' conformity' outside her usual life. She seems to spend too much time in clubs, parks, restaurants, holidays, all the time to really appear dedicated enough to break through. When was the last time she did a test or something that wasn't just a promotional ride ( as per Olympia ). How many people have seen her at there local EC taking part. Don't know, maybe she does but the paparazzi certainly don't capture her there.

She has every opportunity to do well if she really put the effort in but I don't see it. Even the tabloid shots of her on a horse appear staged, none of them that I can recall look like her in the middle of a hard lesson, the horse is always just stood there or on a track looking like she's on a hack. God I look like I need Oxygen after a lesson .

 

[Attila_the_Hungry]

I can't really see this being a problem for AG's career. As far as discouraging potential owners, I doubt very much that they watch KP's reality show or subscribe to OK magazine.

I also fail to understand the widespread enmity towards KP. She's not perfect by any means, but who is? (Apart from me, obviously

) She just seems to provoke quite a lot of jealousy and/or snobbery, mostly - dare I say it - from females. To my mind, she has made her money legitimately, and she can spend it how she likes. I'm not bothered about the ins and outs (and shake it all abouts

) of her private life, so I choose not to read / watch them.

Finally; to kerilli, why are you so lucky with your neighbours?

 

[kerilli]

haha, and you shall know her by her barbie-pink BMW Z3...

i agree, i think a lot of the enmity stems from jealousy. mind you, i'd probably kill to have thighs as perfectly slim as hers, i don't want anything else though!

 

[beckieswann]

She makes me feel sick.

That is all.
