Yes I know this is about Jordan AGAIN, but every so often I read something positive from the Price/Andre camp that makes me see a glimmer of hope for their kiddies.

Christmas can be tough if you're juggling two families when you're NOT an attention-seeking media hungry individual.

But Jordan's latest statement that she's taking the kids out of the public eye and her claim to want a 'normal childhood' for them, seems to be backed up with the news that she and 'Peader' are going to spend a few hours together, as a family, with the kids!

One of those useful sources was quoted in the Daily Star as saying,

"The children are now at an age when they are fully aware of what is going on, so for their sakes Kate and Peter have decided to put on a show of union.  It's been a tough year for them both, but they are determined not to ruin Christmas for the kids. They will both be on their best behaviour."

Call me old-fashioned, but shouldn't they be on their best behaviour as far as the kids are concerned anyway?!

It does take both sides to be willing to remain a strong 'family unit' when it comes to anything to do with children, but it's not impossible.

Perhaps this is a turning point...?  Or perhaps this will be more like the World War One Christmas Truce, with the gloves coming back off after all the mince pies have been eaten and the wrapping paper thrown away.

Fingers crossed for 5-year-old Junior, 3-year-old Princess Tiaamii and 8-year-old Harvey, that it's the beginning of happier times!

I had to laugh at Jennifer Lopez's reported surprise at how fast her twins are growing...they're only three!

Lopez Twins GROW!

Talking to US Weekly she said, "Over this Thanksgiving week, I was sitting outside and reflecting on how fast this year had passed. Watching your kids get bigger - my babies, how much they've grown in a year!"

Just wait until they hit 16 Jennifer then you'll know what it's like to feel that time has flown.

Mind you, when they're throwing hormone-charged grief and aggro at you,  you'll wish time would speed up just a little more so they can pack their bags and LEAVE HOME!

Jordan's Meal Ticket Kids

I laughed even louder when I read that Katie Price has decided to withdraw her kids from public life, because she wants them to have a 'normal childhood'

Posting on Twitter, she said, “I start filming for my new reality show this week. Junior and Princess won’t be in any of my shows or any photo shoots again. I want to withdraw them from the public eye as I want them to have as normal a childhood as possible.”

Normal childhood?  With her as a mother?  Unlikely, I'd say!

I'm glad I don't have some of the 'pals' that Jordan has, they are continually dishing the dirt. Oh hang on! That's what they're SUPPOSED to do, silly me!

According to these 'pals' who spoke to Closer, Jordan's sudden change of attitude is down to wanting to be a 'better parent' (oooh where shall we start?!)...

“Jordan got upset after watching an episode of Pete’s reality show last week. She’s not over him and as much as she tries to pretend she’s moved on, she hasn’t. But then she got angry with herself for being upset.

She started ranting about how the kids featured in nearly the entire show, and how hypocritical it was that Pete  was always implying she was a bad mum.

Ever since Pete blasted her for allowing Princess to wear make-up and false eyelashes in February, she’s been fed up of being made to look bad.”

The best bit by far though was this, when she discovered that Junior would be involved in Pete's forthcoming tour...

“She went berserk," revealed the 'pal', "saying she was their mum and should have some control. She said: ‘They’re children, we shouldn’t risk using them a meal ticket.’"

HAHAHAA!!!  Risk it? You've been doing it for y e a r s!

How's THAT for a cheesy headline!

Price v Andre

"Roll up, ROLL UP! Grab your tickets now ladies and gentleman for the next big 'sleb divorce! It's Kadie v Pedder - so whilst you're at it you might want to place your bets!"

Divorce is horrible even if you utterly loathe the mere mention of the name of your soon-to-be ex-husband or wife, but imagine doing it with a ton of journos and papparazos all wanting a piece of the action.

I can only imagine that Katie will be loving all the attention - there's no such thing as bad publicity after all - but I'm not so sure about Peter Andre, who despite being a bit wimpy for my taste, seems like he's probably quite a nice chap.

It's going to be a battle royale though, that's for sure, with them both taking to the stands to testify and dish the dirt on what caused the breakdown of their marriage.

Ohhhh to be a fly on the wall hey, but you can't because family courts are closed - although...I wonder how many of those really useful 'close sources' will be in court texting and tweeting the latest breaking revelations to their contacts at all the red top papers?

Cynical?! ME!!? Noooo.

There are no winners when it comes down it - and with all the media furore that will surround the proceedings, which are set to start on Thursday, I wonder how many of them will spare a thought for the kids who are caught up in the middle of it all?
