An emotional Peter Andre stopped mid-way through an interview with Sky News’s Kay Burley yesterday, whilst he was talking about his children and Katie Price.
There has been quite a lot of criticism pointed towards Kay’s comments and questions made in this interview, some people saying she was out of order for suggesting the possibility of Katie and her new husband Alex Reid taking Peter’s kids away from him.
I personally didnt see any problem with what she said or how, but I am a regular Sky News watcher (don’t know why, I just prefer it compared to BBC!), so I am wondering what others might think, was Kay out of order and/or did she take it a bit too far?
And lets try not to turn this into a Katie/Peter thread, I want to focus on the issue of the criticism of Kay’s comments/questions, and whether it was good journalism or not!
EDIT: Just found this news article (this time from the BBC!) about it as people have complained to Ofcom, the media regulator. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8497591.stm

However hard I try I can’t bring myself to give a toss for this pathetic nonebrity circus.

” A caller wants Frasier to help him decide whether he should call his boat ‘Lulubelle’ or ‘The Intrepid’:
Frasier: Roger, at Cornell University they have an incredible piece of scientific equipment known as the tunneling electron microscope. Now, this microscope is so powerful that by firing electrons you can actually see images of the atom, the infinitesimally minute building blocks of our universe. Roger, if I were using that microscope right now… I still wouldn’t be able to locate my interest in your problem. Thank you for your call.”

publicity seeking is what they are
I very much get the impression from the linked clip above that publicity is actually the last thing he wants as far as his kids are concerned. He seemed genuinely surprised by the clip they showed him, and if all he wanted was publicity then I doubt he’d have cut the interview when asked about a new album.
It’s very sad such personal matters are so publicly discussed anyway. However much people say once you’re in the limelight you can’t expect privacy, I really do think certain things are best kept private.

To steal lines from a TV Show:
” A caller wants Frasier to help him decide whether he should call his boat ‘Lulubelle’ or ‘The Intrepid’:
Frasier: Roger, at Cornell University they have an incredible piece of scientific equipment known as the tunneling electron microscope. Now, this microscope is so powerful that by firing electrons you can actually see images of the atom, the infinitesimally minute building blocks of our universe. Roger, if I were using that microscope right now… I still wouldn’t be able to locate my interest in your problem. Thank you for your call.”
That about sums up my attitude to the both of them, publicity seeking is what they are, and its to the ever lasting shame of the country that they get it.

I read his messages on Twitter and the impression that clearly comes across is that he really loves the kids (as opposed to his cow of an ex-wife).
Whilst he is obviously trying to flog a new album I wouldn’t say his response to the line of questioning was for publicity.
Yes, definately out of order

Is “good journalism” necessarily relevant when we are discussing an interview with publicity seeking celebrities?
