Peter Andre Reduced To Tears In A Live TV Interview [VIDEO]

In a live interview on Sky News with Kay Burley, which happened minutes ago, Peter Andre was more or less reduced to tears whilst talking about his children - not about Katie Price's marriage to Alex Reid that was announced today.

Once again Peter will get the whole nation feeling sorry for him, which we do, as his love for his family is genuine. On the other hand this interview will serve as another backlash for Peter's ex Katie Price aka Jordan who doesn't seem to care about Peter's feelings.

1-0 to Team Pete

Katie Price (aka Jordan) and Alex Reid Get Married In Las Vegas

So Katie Price and Alex Reid got married yesterday in a quickie ceremony in Las Vegas, apparently by an Elvis Presley impersonator - can't get no classier than Elvis in Vegas!

The official statements reads:

Katie and Alex are delighted to announce that they got married in a private, simple ceremony at 4pm (PST) on February 2nd in Las Vegas. They said,
‘We are very much in love and look forward to the future together. We can’t wait to get back and celebrate our marriage with our friends and family who we know fully support our wishes.’


This is all a bit of a whirlwind! Katie only split up from her ex-husband, Peter Andre, a few months ago. She now claims that Alex is her soulmate, although she dumped him live on TV after she found out he was going to propose to her when she came out of the jungle in Australia, after another stint on the reality TV show, 'I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!'.

Not to forget Alex has just won this years' Celebrity Big Brother, which many didn't expect him to win, including Katie herself, which seems to have helped her decision to marry Alex.

I guess now we'll be reading that their marriage has nothing to do with a financial gain from several media deals, although there are already deals circulating for her wedding photos.

Let's see how long this marriage lasts.....

9th Wonder and Murs Long's Awaited Fourth LP

North Carolina producer, 9th Wonder and acclaimed Los Angeles underground rapper Murs have a renowned history of producing immaculate music projects together. Going as far back as 2004's Murs 3:16, the duo have spawned three total albums together (2006's Murray's Revenge and 2008's Sweet Lord).

However; 2010 will see yet another collaboration from the pair, much to the relief of their patiently awaiting fans. The news of their return was delivered via twitter , announcing their forth coming LP entitled 'ForNever', set to be release on March 30th.

Both 9th Wonder and Murs have recently been working on separate projects, those of which include Sadat X and Erykah Badu also due some time this year.

2010 looks like it may produce some of the finest music yet and I for one cannot wait!
