The trouble with being as beautiful, stylish and desirable as Alex is that you inspire a lot of jealousy in plain, boorish, unpopular blokes - or, at least, those who also have nasty personalities to match their looks.

Fortunately for Kate and more especially for Alison, jealousy from other girls is not something that either of them have to worry about.

The housewives strike again.

Come on ladies tell us all how the media industry works again, I always enjoy a good laugh.

Going back on to the topic of the thread, Kate looks stunning and Alex looks like a tramp in a cheap suit from Matalan.

Its certainly nice to see Kate smiling.

I don't suppose she felt she had much to smile about when she heard of the drop in RI:SE's viewing figures. They've gone down 90,000 in a week you know. From 0.51m to 0.42m.

There's no way that's a cheap suit - it may not be to your taste (although I doubt you have any after that remark) but cheap it ain't.

Photographers just are'nt what they used to be.
No one thought of taking a shot from behind on that one?
Or were all hands to the fore?

Dude, there was only one tramp at that wedding and that tramp wasn't wearing a suit.

shit....... this must be a 1st ...a kate fan that can count

His shirt looks to me very characteristic of Paul Smith. Those stripes are a typical signature.
And possibly the suit too.
A bit surprised if not.
(Definitely designer though!)

Kate looks good too. Much better than on eviction.
With makeup, less is definitely more!
especially round the eyes

Alex looks stunning. And Sophie looks beautiful too.

Kate looks nice as well - except in the Alison pictures.

And Jade looks really good too in the spread on her and her baby earlier in the magazine.

ooh Alison looked plain SCARY

especially in the group pic
with evil eyes like a wicked witch

is it a facelift that went wrong
or bad makeup
or both.....?

OH ALEX WHAT A DREAMBOAT! ahem. Why the heck was Jon there, he doesn't even know them does he? Unless they met on RI:SE or BBLB, or maybe they just invited anyone who was ever on BB *shrug*.

Personally I've never really got the attraction to Alex, I don't think hes particularly good looking, in fact dare I say it, I thought "he's a model? hell, if he's a model I could be" when I saw him, as, dare I say it I don't think I'm particularly stunning, but I think I'm better looking than him. He can't be bothered to get a shave, and has an annoying whiny voice. I also get the impression from him that he thinks is rather better than most people too, which adds to the annoyance.

And no, its not that I'm some jealous sad male. Inspite of being a staight man, the female attraction to Brad Pitt I understand, George Clooney I understand, Leonardo dicaprio I understand, ALEX SIBLEY?!? you're mad woman!

I'm sure there must be plenty of women out there who don't quite understand the attaction other women have for him either.

Well, I don't see the attraction of Leonardo di Caprio (though I think he can act), but I just accept that other people see something in him that eludes me.

We all fancy different people. Personally I fancy Alex more than any of the other stars mentioned. Brad is blond which never does it for me, George has never attracted me and as for Leonardo - huh? I don't know what people like about him either.

Everyone goes for different types. I've never seen the appeal of pie-face Leonardo either, and Mel Gibson, George Clooney, Justin Timberlake do nothing for me, oh ok, maybe Justin a little bit.
But give me gorgeous David Beckham any day (couldn't give a fig about the dodgy Essex accent). In the same way Alex's good looks are classically attractive. I've always thought there was something about him that's like Brad Pitt and a bit of James Dean.

Got OK today and just got around to browsing through it....

Hmmmm....

It's probably my cynical mind, but..... it seems to me that OK DID NOT get the photo they WANTED......

The one (or more) of Kate and Alex together.... alone.... One that they could put on the front page with an 'interesting' teaser, like.... 'Together at last!!!!'....

The closest they could get was the Bridal couple with Kate and Alex on either side..... interesting that they should put THAT particular Photo on the front cover, rather than just one of Sophie & Lee.... or any other pic for that matter....

It was also the Big LEAD Photo for the Story itself.... covering more than a page....

My other suspicion is that HE refused .... not Kate.... so a pissed off OK decided to run with more pictures of Kate and none of Alex.... They couldn't resist just one more photo of him but they deliberately decided to bung it right at the end....

There's an interesting photo of Kate with PJ..... I suspect that OK used him as a 'stand-in' for Alex.... in the ONE photo they really really wanted....

I'm pretty certain that if OK were happy to publish pictures of Stuart (who's he?) and his wife (who's she?)... PJ, his brother & Justine.... Stuart (who's he) and Alison.... ..... they would have been more than happy to publish as many photos of Alex as he was prepared to give them.....

......smacks to me of sour grapes on the part of OK.....

Alex isn't my type, but he is a handsome chap (I preferred him with the slightly longer hair).

He reminds me a tad on Colin Farrell.

Congratulations, that must win the prize for "most contrived answer to explain Alex's lack of media coverage".

The prize is a photo of Kate.

That would have to be the booby prize then,

Talking of boobies, has Kate finally done what we have all been predicting, which is having a boob job? Or is she walking around with a couple of cold chicken fillets shoved down her top?

No excuse for the pictures is required as far as Alex is concerned. He and Sophie are placed centrally in the main wedding picture because they're are by far the best looking people there. Kate, on the other hand, is consigned to the page fold.

I expect they were trying to make it up to her by including a few more pictures - although the ones with Alison and indeed PJ (where her chin looks distorted) do her no favours at all.

I must say that I hope Kate doesn't have a boob job. I always thought that her figure looked fine so it would be thoroughly unnecessary - and, in the house, Alex told her that he thought so too.

I hope she doesn't too, she has resisted so far, but if she does do a Jordon, she will certainly get all that press coverage she so craves.

It made it easier to tear the page with Alex, Lee and Sophie out, to scan onto my computer, without having to include Kate in it. Thank you OK magazine for that.

I'm fairly certain I've heard her say she's decided against it now, because she felt the risks weren't worth the benefit..

Pedantic, I think I'm as equally cynical as you, and agree with your comments.
