Jade Goody sells wedding pics for US$992K

**A*O** · February 18th, 2009, 03:06 AM

I wonder what these media vultures would have paid if she wasn't dying of cancer. I can understand why she wants to provide her kids with some financial security but this is so tacky.

Jade Goody Sells Wedding Snaps For £700K (US$992,000)
Sky News

Reality TV star Jade Goody has sold the rights to her wedding photographs to OK magazine for £700,000, Sky News has learned. OK will have exclusive rights to the ceremony at Down Hall country house, in Hatfield Heath, Hertfordshire.

Sky has also learned that 27-year-old Jade has sent her wedding dress back to Harrods for some minor adjustments.

These include a "pouch" which will be sewn into the back of the dress to keep her medicine in.

A source close Jade, who is dying of cancer, said she was "delighted" with the dress and is looking forward to the nuptials.

Philip Gould, OK's Associate Editor, told Sky News: "There is a lot of interest in this wedding because Jade is such a popular person and I think people do want to be there on the day with us.

"So the best way that this can be achieved is by being in a magazine like OK.

"All the money that Jade will get will go into a trust fund for her two boys.

"Next week it will be in the magazine providing of course Jade is well enough to walk down the aisle on Sunday."

Jade briefly left London's Royal Marsden Hospital on Monday in a wheelchair to exchange engagement rings with Jack Tweed, 21.

"I'm hoping I will have the strength to walk on my big day," the former Big Brother contestant told the Sun.

"It would be so cruel to be robbed of that one last thing as well."

This whole thing makes me feel ill, with sadness for her (yeah, I know) and her kids, and how TACKY this wedding is going to be.

She's doing her best for her kids but I think that that Jack is going to spend all the money that she's so desperately raising for her kids.

I would like to be proven wrong.

And is it just me or does anyone else keep thinking that this is some kind of mad publicity stunt, ala Joaquin Pheonix and his Hip-hop career??!?

She's putting the money in a trust so I imagine it will have stipulations attached. I'll guess OK is hoping she survives long enough to go through with the wedding.

I personally don't think it is...but I won't lie and say that it hasn't crossed my mind briefly that it could be.

I mean if it were all some huge publicity stunt that would just be absolutely sick and unforgivable on her part...

I mean I can see how people would think it is though because you never expect celebrities...or in her case well known reality stars (at least in the U.K...I hadn't heard of her until recently) to die when they are diagnosed with cancer or some other illness.

Because they have money to hire the best doctors and get the best treatment, etc.

A lot of other people on random message boards have said things along the lines of you know-

"Oh just watch...three months from now she'll still be alive and we'll hear all about her miracle cure."

The whole thing is just really sad...considering she had been previously screened for cervical cancer twice not too long before she was diagnosed and was clear.

That really makes you put the pap smears and gyno visits into perspective!!!

Up until last year at age 21 I hadn't even had a pap smear or gyno visit!!!

And you're supposed to have them at around 18 or whenever you become sexually active.

Thank god my tests were normal but stuff like this definitely scares me into taking my health more seriously! And going to the gyno regularly from now on!!!

I don't care what a chavvy, stupid moron she is. Imagine going for a routine pap test aged 20something and discovering you have Stage 4 metastatic cervical cancer with only months to live. Being told the news from a producer was a new low in reality TV but it's still way too young to die.

Doubt very much if Jack will even get to smell the money she's raising. Not with a PR mogul like Max Clifford around. I'm sure her legal team will make the trust fund set up for the boys with such stringent stipulations for the trustees

Besides where's the boys' father?

It is now a criminal offence in the UK not to worship at the alter of Saint Goody. Anyone have room for a mad1?

Is it? Lock me up then, can't stand the bint

**aabbcc** · February 18th, 2009, 07:52 AM

I can't stand her either and I have no sympathy for her.

**Laurent** · February 18th, 2009, 07:58 AM

Frankly, I'm shocked OK! thinks she's well known enough in the U.S. to pay this kind of money - or any money at all, really. I doubt most Americans would recognize her name or face.

Hmm, you jokester! A friend and I were talking about Jade a few days ago and a comment came out :

"In life, it pays to place nice!"

Nuff said

**DeChayz** · February 18th, 2009, 09:11 AM

I don't think dying of cervical cancer at 27 is fair turnabout for being a racist bully. Is she a dumb bitch? Probably. Does she deserve to not see her kids grow up? Not at all IMO.
So does Jack get custody of her kids after she dies?

**rollo** · February 18th, 2009, 09:13 AM

I feel sorry she is terminally ill. But from what I understand, she is a millionaire already. I find the 24/7 media watch on her nauseating and unnecessary. But thanks anyway, Max Clifford.
