  • Katie Hopkins: “What’s on your mantelpiece?”

    Katie Hopkins: “What’s on your mantelpiece?”

    20 questions with social commentator, author and former ‘I’m a Celebrity’ and ‘The Apprentice’ candidate Katie Hopkins

     

    The Steeple Times shares “wit and wisdom”. What’s your guiding force?

    “Get a Grip”: I am a woman that believes in hard work. Everything else is gratuitous emotional drama employed by the weak for attention. I don’t do sympathy, hence am impervious to Comic Relief and One Direction crying. This is not a bad thing.

     

    “Don’t get even, get medieval” is, in our humble opinion, a great motto. What’s yours?

    “Telling it like it is”: I simply iterate the things people say to each other when they gossip or in the privacy of their own home. But I do it on national television. Women see me as the cuckoo in the nest because I am supposed to be one of the sisterhood. The truth is the sisterhood are like lemons soaked in acid.

    GQ’s 2013 Men of the Year choices were nothing other than disappointing

     

    Last night, GQ magazine revealed their annual ‘Men of the Year’ at an event at Covent Garden’s Royal Opera House. Their choices were predictable in the extreme and that they numbered Russell Brand as an “oracle” and Piers Morgan as the “TV personality” of the year about says it all. (more…)

    Natasha Devon: “What’s on your mantelpiece?”

    20 questions with writer, television personality and co-founder of Body Gossip Natasha Devon

     

    The Steeple Times shares “wit and wisdom”. What’s your guiding force?

    I’m driven by a desire to make everything fair (and to silence the people who would have us believe that injustice can be explained by that irritating platitude – “life’s not fair”).

     

    “Don’t get even, get medieval” is, in our humble opinion, a great motto. What’s yours?

    I nicked one from Oscar Wilde: “Be yourself, everyone else is taken”.

    Cowardly Katie

    Katie Hopkins proves that she is indeed scared of The Steeple Times

     

    She gives it out like a trooper but she plainly can’t take it when it comes back at her. After a correspondence on Twitter, we offered media mouthpiece Katie Hopkins the chance to do our 20 question “What’s on your mantelpiece?” interview. We thought the media loving home wrecker – whose website states that she’s into “Telling it like it is” – would jump at the chance, but thus far she’s failed to answer.
