Liz Hurley The Phoney
In a nutshell: Liz could learn a thing or two from Jordan. Like honesty and candour, unlike Jordan, Liz isn't a straight shooter. Imply that her career is down to her knack for wearing revealing frocks, getting her kit off for the boys or that lucky friendship with fellow mock toff Hugh Grant, and she will sneer. Liz couldn't get out of dreary Basingstoke, her hometown, fast enough. She read Evelyn Waugh and realised there must be some terrible mistake - how could she have been born into the middle classes when she was so clearly aristocratic. So Elizabeth Hurley reinvented herself with an accent plumier than Prince Charles, she peppered it with words like gosh and golly. She took up needlework, flirted with Catholicism and slowly but steadily climbed the greasy poll ending up frightfully rich, if a little soiled.

Things we hate about her
- She should stop working so hard to cultivate her upper-class image. She needs to relax. She has made it and everyone knows it's a pose. Only Prince Charles still refers to himself, as 'One'. As in 'One ought to stop acting.'
- Despite her best efforts, not everyone knows who she is, so it would be wise to take a more subtle approach when trying to get her boyfriend upgraded to first class on a BA flight. Screaming, 'Do you know who I am? I bloody demand that he's upgraded. Don't you know he's a millionaire?' is considered bad form.
- She talks about the paparazzi as though they were unwelcome guests at a fabulous party she threw all by herself. In reality they were the event planners that made it all happen. She's financially milked the relationship for every last penny. The paparazzi are now a vulgar reminder of where she came from and she'd like to dispense with their services.
- 'I just find it utterly pathetic to have an operation simply to try to make oneself look younger.' Notice the careful use of the word operation. She obviously doesn't consider lip enlargement as an operation. Only Liz would suggest that having One's lips filled with a synthetic filler to make them look fuller is more dignified.
She says: 'I'd kill myself if I was as fat as Marilyn Monroe.' Please, someone pass her a doughnut.
