Katie Price effigy to go on bonfire

Katie Price has been unveiled as the inspiration for a celebrity guy which will be burnt at the stake at a famous bonfire celebration this weekend.

The 27ft-tall firework-filled effigy, complete with a replica of her generous cleavage, will go up in flames in front of more than 10,000 people in Edenbridge, Kent, on Saturday.

Dressed in a pink, low-cut top, the figure also features her wearing white jodhpurs and riding boots in acknowledgement of her passion for horses.

In one hand, she holds copies of OK!, Hello! and The Sun and in the other she grasps by their hair the heads of ex-husband Peter Andre and current flame, cagefighter Alex Reid.

Each year organisers at the Edenbridge Bonfire Society choose a topical, publicly-vilified celebrity figure to torch at the popular event.

Last year Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand were the focus of the fun following their shaming over obscene telephone calls made to Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs.

Previous targets for the society have also included Saddam Hussein, John McCririck, John Prescott, and Diana, Princess of Wales' former partner, James Hewitt.

This year Brighton-born Price, 31, emerged as the only candidate after organisers deemed BNP leader Nick Griffin had already had "too much publicity".

Price, also known as Jordan, recently finalised a high profile split from Australian singer Andre.

Up: MSN Review

So, it’s about an old man flying away on an adventure by attaching a huge bunch of helium balloons to his house. Even for the talented craftspeople at Pixar, who successfully brought us a near-silent film about robots last year, this seems far-fetched. We needn’t have worried though. Up is the best Pixar film since Toy Story.

Wimbledon Aces

With Wimbledon 2009 in full swing, err… serve, the top tennis players from around the world are focused entirely on their game. As they run up and down the court screaming with exertion, the rest of us non-pros can't help but judge them on something other than their passing shots; that's right, how good looking they are.
