Who Is Katie Green And Why Is She Famous?

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

Britain's latest manufactured celebrity is Wondebra spokeswoman Katie Green. (Aside: Why do we call people who model, shill and otherwise have no involvement in a product "spokespeople?" Most of them, as in this case, say absolutely jack about the goods.) She's been "shamed" by a lesbian porn scandal, caught running around naked in foreign countries, and called "too fat" for modeling, all in her 21st year.

Welcome to the age of overnight microcelebrity...


1) Katie lands a wonderbra deal but loses out on a deal at a top modeling agency for refusing to lose "two stone," which is a measurement of weight, according to those nutty Brits. Here's a highlight from the revenge photo shoot Katie undertook for the Daily Mail. Think the modeling agency may have made an error in judgment?

2) Katie's fame causes snooping journalists to dig deeper, learning that just before her career took off, she posed with two other topless girls in a hot tub in Portugal, for some sort of undisclosed porn rag

Yeah, we're not sure what's going on with the "CENSORED" bar in this photo either...

3) Perhaps sensing her fame is in its fourteenth minute, Katie engineers a "random" photo shoot-- i.e., she makes sure the papparazzi are present for her topless beach stroll this week in the Caribbean. Boom! Web searches for "Katie Green boobies" are up tenfold in the last 48 hours.

Isn't "2 stone" like 32 pounds?

Mmmmm... curvy... healthy... natural... womanly... If she lost 2 stone, she'd look like Kate Moss. Ewww.
