Celebrities, it has been said, can be divided into two categories: those who really deserve to be called that and who, as it happens, are the least aware of the attention they’re constantly showered with, and those who fell into the “pot” by accident. It’s these people who are often the most vocal about their celebrity status, much to the amusement of the fans – such as is the case with glamour model turned writer and fashion designer Jordan.

Granted, Jordan’s contribution to our celebrity “culture” is more than vital, since she was one of the many to usher in the era of glamour modeling, which is an impressive feat on its own, it has been told. However, one thing that Jordan, now known simply as Katie Price, has always been short on is modesty, as her latest statement also clearly shows. Per her own admission, people, and the American public in particular, love her because she’s real.

“The Americans like me and Pete because we’re real. There are so many people over here who are desperate for fame. But we’re quite refreshing because we’re just a normal family getting on with it.” Jordan has recently told reporters, as quoted by HolyMoly. As some of you might know, Jordan and husband Peter Andre have recently moved to LA with the entire family to shoot for their reality series and get Peter started on a new music album.

Be that as it may, Jordan is rarely credited with more than just an eye-pleasing presence by the US media. Just like the first time she tried to break on the American market, this time too she is often hounded by the paparazzi while running errands at supermarkets with her entire family in tow or just about town, but she rarely makes it in the news otherwise.

Similarly, “Katie and Peter: Unleashed,” the couple’s reality show, failed to ring true with the US public, with audiences and media outlets alike classifying it as a masquerade that was almost too painful to watch.
