      Taking on Karpov

      Anatoly Karpov, Guinness, world record


      Katie Price gears up to break the record for the biggest book signing EVER…
      Posted: 15/06/2011

      It’s safe to say that Katie Price always attracts a sizeable crowd of complete and utter mentalists avid fans whenever she does one of her book signings across the country.

      But now the former glamour model is attempting to do something which most people of sound mind would probably advice against; to bring together the biggest group of KP fans ever so that she can break a world record for the largest book singing by a single author.

      The current champion for this bizarre record is chess player Anatoly Karpov who managed to sign 1,951 copies of his book in 8 hours. Katie obviously wants to do one better than that when she releases her new tome The Comeback Girl and has also promised to print the name of every fan who attends the event – which will take place on July 27th at the O2 Academy – in the front of her next book.

      Speaking about the record attempt Katie (who looked very much like Barbie to Leandro’s Ken when we spotted them out in London yesterday) said:

      ‘You know me, I’ve always had a competitive streak so when it was suggested that I try and break a Guinness World Record for a book signing, I thought “Bring it on”! I love meeting my fans and I can’t wait to make them part of this world record. I really hope they will come out to support me in Leeds on 27 July and as a thank you I’m going to dedicate my next book to them and print all their names in the front.’

      Guess where we’ll be on July 27th? That’s right – anywhere other than Leeds.

        With all due respect….

        If it’s a slow chess news day, it’s not necessary to pass this kind of nonsense along.

        This is the kind of thing that helps keep people stupid.

        Actually, I like this kind of news. It’s something you don’t read everyday. Thank you, Susan.

        For a minute there I thought Katie Price was playing Karpov in some sort of charity event.

        Which, given some of Karpov’s results in recent years… may not be such a good idea. :PPP (just kidding).
