[edit] Autobiographys

2 bio's and only aged 26? is this correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Magnoliapaint (talk • contribs)

Her autobiography is not released yet. Amazon still has it as scheduled for Oct 5, 2006, so we don't know what is in there yet. The other one is not an autobiography. But it is correct, there are two KittenKlub 23:02, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bisexuality?

THough she is married Kerry is a bisexual. She shown sexual beahiavour with fellow Glamour model Katie Price (aka Jordan) and has even admitted to sleeping with her.

I don't believe that being married precludes one from being bisexual. Also is there a source for the jordan thing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by LouiseCooke (talk • contribs)

This story cannot be added to story without a reliable source, because it is gossip. Please read WP:V. Tabloids are not considered a reliable source.

Do you think we should add anything about her weightgains?

KittenKlub 20:49, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• I'm not sure if it's worth adding to be honest, she's spent a lot of time pregnant and that's probably a lot to do with the weight thing. Plus, it's not really gone up and down, she went from slim to chunky and kinda stayed there, that was all it was. Sky83 (talk) 15:41, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nude photography

Dispute with KittenKlub who insists that Kerry Katona's explicit nude modelling be described as 'topless', for whatever reason. User has approached mediation in order to settle matters. For the record, Kerry posed nude (explicit shots showing her genitalia in some detail) prior to Atomic Kitten and the shots were republished in a number of UK 'top shelf' magazines after she found fame. Said images are also readily available on the internet with the Google search: 'Kerry Katona nude'.

Can't understnad why pornography should be described as topless but there you go. I guess Traci Lords did some topless modelling by that token. The username is perhaps indicative of why the truth is being obscured. Magpie1892

• The source used for that, and two other claims in the paragraph does not look WP:RS to me. It does not cite it's sources, so there is no way to verify the information on the website, therefore it is probably not appropriate for sourcing any negative claim in this article. Crockspot 20:54, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. All claims on with that source will be removed. 20:58, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

KittenKlub

Agreed. Will cite my sources ASAP and reinstate if possible. Thanks. Magpie1892

• Glad to be of service. - Crockspot 21:12, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

I have written a neutral sentence with a citation about the one sourcable photograph that was published. Whether or not the paper is a rag is irrelevant, the photo was published. But I did qualify the paper as a tabloid. The idea behind a citation is verifiability. Can someone reading the cite go to a library, look up that date of the paper in the archives, and find the photo? If yes, then it is a proper citation, and reliable enough to source the statement in the article. Crockspot 21:23, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

• It may be more appropriate to move that sentence a little further down in the biography section.. I'll let you guys figure that out. Crockspot 21:26, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Nevermind, I moved it to the end of the section, and also move one of the images down to the end of the section to get rid of that open white space mid section. I also changed the header of THIS section to better reflect consensus about the photographs. Crockspot 21:52, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Daughter number 3

Is it true she's had the baby already? Where is the source for this info? I'm not entirely sure it's true because wasn't she going to call her daughter Maggie May?

No, this is not vandalism, see [1]. But given the frequency with which the Kerry Katona article is vandalised, you cannot be blamed for questioning it. Viewfinder 04:31, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kerry and sex video

there is a sex video of kerry masturbating, why havent u added this on there —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.21.61.41 (talk • contribs)

Attempts that were made to post a link to this a few months ago were quickly reverted. Apart the question of verifiable evidence that it is actually her, I don't think most of our editors, myself included, support the posting of these sort of links. Let's keep it that way. Viewfinder 19:28, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bi-polar and drugs

Ooook 08:40, 8 August 2007 (UTC) the reference to bi-polar condition being caused by and excacerpated by the use of drugs is a little tendentious and even a wee bit slanderous- maybe it should be removed? Ooook Ooook 08:40, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

No it's not, [2][3]

[4] although I suppose it's original research to link this to kerry's situation if no sources have done so. Her team are saying it's due to the stress of the break-in, and it's true that bipolar can be exacerbated by stress.Merkinsmum 00:51, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

someone has written that kerry died of a drug overdose on the 26th march. This is disgusting. whatever your personal feelings are please remember she is a mother! this is a fact based website and whoever wrote that is dispicable. i'm not a kerry fan but really is there any need. i would remove it but i dnt know how. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.208.115.115 (talk) 00:50, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Now Croft

Isn't she Kerry Croft these days? I know it's hard to keep up but... Davidbod (talk) 14:17, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

She is still best known in the media and to most people as Katona. Viewfinder (talk) 14:53, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Not singing on AK songs

I don't think this is true. I had a look at the reference source and it doesn't appear to be wholly reliable. I won't delete this point myself at the present time, but I would like to know what other people think? Perhaps if someone can find a credible source for this, it could be referenced again?
