Peter Andre hits back over 'drama with exes' after Katie Price attacks wife
Peter Andre has detailed how to deal with 'drama with exes' in his weekly New! Magazine column, just days after his ex Katie Price hit out at his wife Emily MacDonagh.
While reminiscing about their marriage last week, Katie revealed that her and Peter's kids – particularly daughter Princess – can't comprehend that they were once a couple because she and Emily are 'just so different'.
'I said to her, 'I was with your dad for six years – trust me, we had a laugh, banter together. We did,' Katie told comedian Katherine Ryan on her podcast, adding, 'She can't believe that whenever he went everywhere or me, we were together with the kids – we'd go as a family. She's like, 'Emily doesn't do all that,' for Pete.'
While Peter and Emily have remained tight-lipped on the comments made by Katie, he did speak out about Sam Thompson's run-in with his ex Zara McDermott's new boyfriend Louis Tomlinson, giving his advice on exes.
He wrote in his column: " Sam Thompson and Louis Tomlinson were both at Soccer Aid together for an incredible cause. The fact they've both been involved with Zara McDermott at some point is secondary for me.
"I think people will always try to make a fuss about dramas with exes, but we don't know what happened, and having been part of Soccer Aid in the past, I know people just focus on the game and the cause, everything else is left off the pitch. That's how it should be."
Peter and Katie met in 2004 on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!, marrying the following year before splitting in 2009.
Her remarks about Emily led to a stream of comments on social media, saying that she is envious of Peter's new life, with one listener noting, 'Price is just jealous because Pete and Emily are happy and love their family. She has never let it go and moved on.' Someone else told her to 'get a grip and leave them alone'.
Others were more sympathetic, however, with one commenting, 'The one who got away. Quite possibly the love of her life.'
Amid the backlash, a source told us that Pete isn't happy about being dragged into what he considers to be 'ancient history' and is desperate for it to stop. 'Peter moved on a long time ago and is fed up of her talking about him because it was such a long time ago that they split,' said the source.
'It has a knock-on effect on his family, especially Emily. He knew their marriage was over when they split up 16 years ago and he just wants her to leave it in the past too. He's very happy with his life.'

Maxim slammed as 'sexist' article teaching men how to 'cure' feminists resurfaces
Weeks after Maxim was slammed for its list of 'unsexiest' women, the men's magazine has come under fire again. Another article from the early aughts has now resurfaced, this time, taking aim at 'unshaven, militant, and protesting vegan ' women. Titled 'How to cure a feminist,' the controversial article listed four ways for men to tame feminist females - along with a photo series showing the woman gradually undressing down to a bikini. The piece, written in November 2003, was recently shared to Reddit where offended users immediately rushed to the comment section to share their thoughts. 'How to cure a feminist,' read the title, with the words, 'Turn an unshaven, militant, protesting vegan into an actual girl!' written underneath. The article was then split into four different steps which included: 'Win her over,' 'Open her eyes,' 'Treat her right,' and 'Shift her focus.' Over the first step there was a photo of a woman wearing low-rise baggy jeans and a tank top with messy hair, a cigarette in her mouth, and no shoes; she held up her arms and showed off her hairy underarms. 'A feminist is just like any other woman: she won't give you the time of day if you don't know how to approach her,' the advice began. The article then went on to encourage men to 'pretend to share her beliefs.' 'Hide your lack of feminist knowledge and show her how much you value her opinion by asking intelligent questions,' the magazine joked, giving examples like, 'What must women do to earn equal pay for this equal work?' and, 'Has Gloria Steinem's marriage hurt the feminist agenda?' The second step, as per the magazine, was to 'open her eyes.' The accompanying picture showed a woman in bootleg jeans, sneakers, and a slightly cropped pink fitted hoodie and her hair looking sleek and straightened. 'Don't wait for her to think differently - give her some options,' the publication wrote. 'Begin by discussing "lipstick" feminism, which is far more moderate than the combat-boot variety.' Jennifer Baumgardner, who co-authored Manifesta: Young Women, Feminism, and The Future, was quoted encouraging men to not avoid talking about things like 'shopping, makeup, or boyfriends.' The article then advised men to 'sign her up for Bust, a feminine-light mag that says women can be independent, strong, and relatively hairless.' Third step, was to 'treat her right,' and it assured men you can 'treat a feminist just like you'd treat any other girl.' 'As long as you're not overbearing she won't object to your opening the occasional door or picking up a check,' the article read. Along with this piece of advice was a snap of a naval-bearing woman in a short shirred white skirt and a tiny matching top. She also had white high heels and her hair was in pigtails. The fourth step encouraged men to 'shift her focus,' with a large 'cured' stamp over the picture of a scantily-clad woman. 'To preserve any chance of getting your chin buttered, you'll have to re-shizzle her feminist-tinged interests so you can actually spend time with her,' Maxim wrote. They then quoted Michelle Weiner-Davis, the author of The Sex Starved Marriage, who said to 'focus on the things you have in common.' To paint the picture of a cured feminist, the women in the picture was posing in only a red and black lingerie with black heels on and heavy eye makeup. While it's not entirely certain if the piece was sartorial or not, fuming users took to Reddit to slam Maxim over it, branding it as 'ridiculously sexist.' 'Awfully bold of them to disguise their bimbofication porn as relationship advice,' one user snarked. 'This just sums up the nonsense that was the early 2000s. The media was always taking hot wrong takes when it came to women, like all the time,' chimed in another. 'We were living in the wild wild west, I can't believe some of the stuff that was allowed to air or printed. 'There needs to be some sort of gender course that's specific to the early 2000s.' 'Gay "jokes," feminism "jokes" [were] aplenty in the early '00's. Movies like American Pie that released around the period exemplify this and man does it not hold up at all today,' agreed another. 'Strange how some still argue that these things are fixed and that we shouldn't speak up against them.' The men's magazine, which is known for featuring scantily clad celebrities, also came under fire last week after a list that it published of the 'unsexiest' female celebrities resurfaced. The list contained five female stars and a brief description for each one explaining the reasoning behind their placement on the list. Sarah Jessica Parker, Amy Winehouse, Sandra Oh, Madonna, and Britney Spears were amongst those who made the cut.

Materialists review – Dakota Johnson torn between Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans in charming romcom
Say you are a single woman in New York and you are, in the words of the song, torn between two lovers: two handsome, intelligent, nice guys – one very poor and one very rich. All things being equal, who do you go for? The answer in real life is very different, in fact diametrically opposed, to the answer in a film. Few movie heroines have the candour of Jane Austen's Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice, who admitted to falling in love with Mr Darcy on seeing his beautiful grounds at Pemberley. But this is the choice, which never quite ascends to the state of a dilemma, in this charming and watchable – yet for me somehow anticlimactic – romantic comedy-drama from South Korean-Canadian film-maker Celine Song: a love-triangle confection to follow the much realer, truer love triangle of Song's much acclaimed debut Past Lives. When the decision is made, the final act has an almost morosely elegiac mood, as it must, as various speeches and set pieces reconcile its rather trudgingly earnest direction of travel with the witty, savvy materialism of the movie's premise. The scene is, of course, Manhattan where Lucy, played by Dakota Johnson, is a matchmaker, arranging dates and introductions for professionals who want to get married or, in fact, to settle. The movie begins varnished with a commercial glaze of luxury, that aspirational state of material wealth that marriage underpins and which no one apologises for wanting. Lucy is about to pull off her professional and personal masterpiece; she is unofficial guest of honour at the chi-chi wedding she has masterminded for a tremulous female client who has bagged a rich financial guy. The groom's unmarried straight brother is hedge-fund manager Harry, played by Pedro Pascal: tall, well built, sophisticated, rocking a non-rental tux, clearly very rich and very interested in Lucy personally. He's basically a nice, non-psycho version of American Psycho's Patrick Bateman. In fact, for much of the early stages of the film, the dialogue does have something of Bret Easton Ellis: observations about wealth exchanged on a level of murmuringly subdued rational calm. No one is trying to be funny. This is just the way it is. But just as Harry is putting the moves on Lucy at the reception, her ex-boyfriend John (Chris Evans) serves her a drink. Humiliatingly, he is a failing actor reduced to side-hustling as a waiter for a catering company, still sharing a chaotic apartment with three other appalling losers in their 30s. And so Lucy's relationship with the glamorous and stylish Harry proceeds in parallel with this bittersweet and inconvenient reconnection with the broke, lovable (and hot) John – flashbacks reveal that Lucy, now a supercool professional, was once much more vulnerable and emotional with John. The film does not play one suitor off against the other; there is no Mark Darcy/Daniel Cleaver-style punch-up. They are mutually respectful and both supposed to be worthy of Lucy, though Harry does have a certain secret that will have audiences doing some Googling after the film, a secret so startling on its own terms that its vulgar metaphoric potential didn't occur to me until much later. Song was herself, she has revealed, once employed as a matchmaker. Unlike Lucy – who tells her clients she can't just magically produce ideal mates or, like Dr Frankenstein, build them – Song can effectively do exactly this in her imaginary world, and place Lucy with an ideal man. The idealism replaces the materialism; the romanticism that comes with it is subdued. Materialists is in UK and Irish cinemas from 13 August

How Brooklyn Beckham's ditched Brit pals in move ‘straight out of Prince Harry manual' as he ‘soft launches Brand Peltz'
WEDDINGS are usually about celebrating your love with your nearest and dearest - and that was certainly the case for Nicola Peltz-Beckham at her and Brooklyn's lavish vow renewal ceremony. The actress, 30, was surrounded by her loved ones at the glitzy event on her family estate in Westchester County, New York earlier this month - with her dad Nelson even officiating. 13 13 13 13 Yet not a single member of 26-year-old Brooklyn's famous clan was present - and his mates from back home were also conspicuously absent from the photographs shared online. There was no sign of once-close pals Rocco Richie, Noel Gallagher 's daughter Anais or Gordon Ramsay 's son Jack - despite the celebrity chef and his family attending the couple's 2022 wedding. Instead the couple posed alongside Nicola's brothers, a selection of her friends from the acting world, and members of her glam squad. Brooklyn's parents Victoria, 51, dad David, 50 - currently on holiday in St Tropez - are said to be heartbroken at the very public snub, which will no doubt deepen the alleged rift between the Peltz-Beckhams and their in-laws. At Brooklyn's wedding to Nicola in 2022, the guest list appeared to be fairly evenly split - with his sister Harper, 14, one of Nicola's bridesmaids. But she, along with Brooklyn's brothers Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, failed to cop an invite for the vow renewal, and reportedly only found out about it when they read reports online. PR guru Mark Borkowski called it a move "straight out of the Prince Harry manual" - and warns this latest stunt could cause long-lasting reputational issues for the couple. He told The Sun: 'Brooklyn's vow renewal looked less like a family celebration and more like a soft launch for the Peltz brand - with the Beckham name parked politely at the diamond-encrusted gates. 'He's swapped the Brit pack tribal connections for Nicola's billionaire bubble, a move straight from the Prince Harry manual: ditch the old circle, live in your spouse's world, and curate a new reality. "From a brand point of view, it's risky. The Beckham Dynasty is still a golden ticket, but cut the supply lines to the family machine and the shine fades fast. 'If Brooklyn and Nicola can build something genuinely aspirational on their own, fine - but if not, they'll be remembered as the couple who traded a global dynasty for a glossy cul-de-sac.' It was previously reported that Brooklyn no longer has any contact with his old pals including Jack Ramsay, despite them once being "inseparable". 'He no longer speaks to Rocco Ritchie, Madonna and Guy Ritchie's son, with whom he attended the Hampstead Fine Arts college in Belsize Park, north-west London," claimed the Daily Mail. Brooklyn's vow renewal looked less like a family celebration and more like a soft launch for the Peltz brand Marc BorkowskiPR guru The only visible friend of Brooklyn's who pre-dates Nicola was businessman Jeremy Clerc, seen on the floor in the centre of a group picture. Jeremy, who owns an assisted living business, featured on Brooklyn's Instagram in 2020 in a post captioned 'love you guys'. The rest of those pictured appear to be linked to Nicola - including actor Benny Buckley, who appeared alongside Nicola in her film Lola, and celebrity hair colourist Daniel Moon, who counts Kristen Stewart, Katy Perry and Madonna among his client roster. The group also features cinematographer and photographer Hunter Moreno, who works with Nicola's former BFF Selena Gomez and KSI; brothers Eran and Aran Shapov, who run a luxury construction company; LA real estate agent Anthony Barillo; make-up artist Georgi Sandev, and creative branding agency owner Dominic J West. 13 13 13 13 Other photos shared on Instagram by Brooklyn show the couple with members of Nicola's family. Many fans have commented on the absence of Brooklyn's brood, with one remarking: 'How can you break-up with three siblings and your parents after having such a big bond and life experience together?! It's really like cutting off your arm and pretending everything is normal.' Another wrote: "Cold, calculating, deeply hurtful to plan an event and exclude part of your family," while one branded the couple: "Harry and Meghan version 2." It's the latest kick in the teeth for the Beckham family after Nicola and Brooklyn snubbed David's 50th birthday bash, and Brooklyn didn't acknowledge Victoria on Mother's Day. The alleged feud is said to have been sparked by a row over money. Brooklyn has swapped the Brit pack tribal connections for Nicola's billionaire bubble, a move straight from the Prince Harry manual: ditch the old circle, live in your spouse's world, and curate a new reality Marc Borkowski A forensic pre-nup was apparently drawn up before Brooklyn and Nicola's wedding to secure the Peltz family 's enormous wealth — a fortune that relatively dwarves the Beckhams'. The Peltzes have reportedly accused the Beckhams of being 'tight' and not amply providing for their beloved son. Meanwhile David, Victoria and the rest of the family are said to be hurt by their once-devoted eldest son becoming estranged - and hold Nicola responsible. A source said: 'They think Nicola is a bit of a horror but she isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Nicola loves having Brooklyn at her side, and she loves him very much. But he is also very useful. 'The wider Beckham family and Brooklyn's friends – many of whom he no longer sees – take the view that he does what Nicola wants. From the Beckhams' point of view, it's not nice to watch.' It's been reported Brooklyn has not had contact with his family for months, and "it feels clear to them that he doesn't want to make amends". 13 13 13 13
