|
| With regard to the "Surprise Celebrity DJ", the word is that there will now be at least two, and possibly three, celebrity DJ's spinning the decks at Aisleyne's Book Launch Party on Wednesday. |

| Apparently things are reaching fever pitch at Aisleyne Ltd HQ ahead of tonight's launch party.
We are told to keep an eye open for the media board and especially for Aisleyne's blue designer dress.
It's currently expected that about 200 will be attending - even allowing for no-shows from acceptances. Media attendance is believed to be approaching 90 people.
No advance news on celebs attending. In general,it seems that not many BB people have been invited, with some "obvious exceptions". For example, I would expect that everyone's favourite BB twins will be there. |

|

|
| Yes, Ash looks fantastic
Ms Marsh looks remarkably good too, doesn't she? She must have recognised she needed to pull out all the stops to compete with her "hostess with the mostest".
I DO like that media board as well. |
|

|
| The dress is a nice colour. Her eyes and hair look beautiful.

Trust you to draw attention to that!
Inevitably, Sky Showbiz, also spotted the same "wardrobe malfunction"  , but that apart they devote a very friendly and comprehensive gallery to the event. They also like the dress and there are some decent views of the bookcover on the media board.
Also includes some pics of the other guests, including nice ones of Imogen and (can't believe I'm saying this!) Jodie M.

| Crikey! An (almost) entirely positive feature about the launch plus lots of pics in the Daily Mail online ! Even the boob slip gets only very mild daily mail sniffiness.
Also pics of Jodie, Imogen and DJ Ironik, and they refer to Katriona as "one of Amy Whitehouse's best friends"
But they've used the Reveal article to indicate the book's content, so they get the title wrong again, and refer to it by the "working title" 
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1178223/Letting-hang-G...
ETA: I should have known better. If you are puzzled by my over-positive analysis above, that's because the Daily Mail has now reverted to type and re-written the story to beef up the snobby sniffiness to proper Daily Mail proportions. Some poor sub-editor has presumably been railroaded for being far too nice about Aisleyne!

Location: Scottish Borders | A lot of positive stuff there, and nice to see Michael close at hand when needed. About the dress. It was gorgeous, but perhaps more thought should have gone into the storage capacity of the upper department? "There's many a slip twixt cup and nip", as they say. |

| And now, a word from our co-sponsors:
http://www.ok.co.uk/celebnews/view/10070/What-s-spooked-Aisleyne-/
Pretty much backing up the stuff from WENN, really.
|
|
| |
|
| Yeah, well done Sir Michael of Scruples!!
Hope Ash has recovered in time for her interviews today. 
On a lighter note, good to see that media board doing its stuff behind Jodie Winkelman, oops I mean Marsh.  |
|
| |
|
| And Mr Paparazzi repays Aisleyne's kind words about him in the book in precisely the manner you'd expect from him.
http://www.mrpaparazzi.com/post/6867/Aisleyne-HorganWallace-Book-La...
|
|
| |
|
| .... while on the other hand there some EXTREMELY positive words on Revealblog about "our Big Brother columnist" aka "the fabulous Aisleyne" and her book which is "tipped for success".
I couldn't have put it better myself!
AND they've got the title right! 
http://www.revealblog.co.uk/blogArticle.asp?blogID=7&articleID=1495
Wonder if they'll say any more in next week's edition? |

|
| "When Gobby Met Aisleyne"
I bet you're ALL wrong in guessing who that refers to
This link explains, and the positives are positively gushing! We'll even forgive her spelling Aisleyne's name wrong once or twice. After all, it happens to the best of us, doesn't it, "Aiseyne"?
Sounds like kudos is due to Starlicious too

And no surprise about their choice of pictures.

| Ok I am going to be honest about all this.
I think Aisleyne's hair and make-up looks stunning. The colour of her dress suits her, but personally if I was her mate I would have suggested something a little more demure for her book launch. Also I would have left certain people off the guest list. They have slated and ridiculed her, nothing has changed since Big brother. But now it's like they feel obligated......
I actually thought Aisleyne's days of glamour of this sort were behind her ,,,,,,again it is really her choice.
Now the reaction from most is typical really.......I hate when they slate her like this, but it is up to Ash what she does. I didn't realise there were so many perfect people in the world (Her hatersI am referring to) ......
Don't be mad at me.

Location: Edgware, Middlesex | I know what you're saying but I doubt it will do her any harm in terms of book sales. In fact, it'll probably boost them
I certainly don't agree about the guest list. Offhand, I can't think of anyone on the list who has actively slated her but one of Aisleyne's strengths is her forgiving nature. There's nothing to be gained by holding grudges.

Julian

I've got some Bad news and some Sort-of-good-but-might-be-bad news.
Bad news: Aisleyne's launch dress features in Sky Showbiz "Worst Dressed" gallery (*ducks to avoid plates thrown at me by Aisleyne*)

The "other" news? Imogen's launch party outfit makes the "Best Dressed" gallery.

| Aisleyne (metaphorically) gatecrashes Nikki's book launch in the Daily Mail online.
That august journal has revised its opinion and now says that Aisleyne's launch is now only the "second tackiest" following Ms Grahame's equivalent bash last night.
So that's good then?
Well, yes really, given the fact that Aisleyne's name appears in the headline, there's a pic of her in the article and the book (STILL wrongly titled!) gets another plug!

PS. I accept no responsibility for any revisons which may be made to this article by the Daily Mail at a later date. |

Yeah, but they've also got Aisleyne saying it's a pop-up book , so they're WELL off the pace, innit?
Though at least they got the title right ..... eventually. |

| "Aisleyne: The Recession and Me" could in fact be her next book. How to buy a house in favourable market conditions; shopping thriftily at Lipsy and Primark; Surviving on frozen food; Wearing a dress back to front (yes, we did see that Aisleyne!), how to work creatively with accessories like big belts, huge earrings, 101 things to do with an old guitar etc etc |

Charlie B is dressed to impress isn't he? Somehow I get the impression he was dragged kicking and screaming to the media board by his host.
Apparently Ash was mad at him for being unshaven! (Acknowledgment to adamski on LC)

| There's an article about Jodie Marsh in this week's Closer magazine. Most of the pics are from the book launch, and one of them (with her new boyf) is in front of that good ol' media board!
There's much more substantial coverage with pics and report in Reveal magazine, which I've posted about in the Press forum

| New! magazine also has an article about Jodie Marsh, similar to the one in Closer mag.
Slightly better, in that it explicitly mentions Aisleyne's book launch, and the pic of Jodie in front of the media board is bigger, so Ash and the book title are nicely visible. Product placement strikes again!
