Women we love to hate

Catherine likes to think she is classy but like any working class girl who's made it big, she can't stop talking about how much she's got. Her interviews are full of anecdotes about the things she has in abundance - like houses and diamonds and wonderful frocks. So we did not have much sympathy when having done nothing but talk about her impending nuptials, she and her husband took Hello! magazine to court, having been 'devastated, shocked and appalled' that photos of her wedding had appeared in the British tabloid Hello! She said she felt 'violated' and accused the magazine of invading her privacy. Ironically, she and Douglas had sold exclusive rights to their wedding photos to Hello! rival OK! magazine. The million pound payday, she told the judge, 'might be a lot of money to a lot of people in this room, but it is not that much for us.' We know Catherine, we know.

Things we hate about her

1. Her constant gloating. 'People call me Mrs Douglas at the gate to our apartment,' She says. 'It kind of makes my eyes sparkle.' Ours would sparkle too thinking about the cash and the connections, but they would water at the thought of having to sleep with a man who resembles an ageing lizard.
2. She does not possess an ounce of humility. She talks of luck but more often she speaks of her hard slog since the age of 14. Catherine's pretty sure she deserves it all and she likes to tell us about it: As in: 'I have a lot of designer clothes. I have a lot of Versace, a lot of a lot of things.'
3. She hates the press and takes them to court at every opportunity and constantly talks about how Fleet Street drove her to the US. But she happily takes their cash when she has something to crow about.
4. She likes to paint the picture of a perfect romance between her and Michael but does she really expect us to believe that his fame, power and money played no part in her attraction to him. If they divorce she will get $2.8 million dollars for every year of marriage. Awwwh, how romantic.

She says: "I drive a Range Rover with a cell phone, and if you need to reach me you can page me, beep me, fax me or email me. And even if you do all of the above, I still might not return your call."
