Katie Price to attend Opera Ball

British TV starlet Katie Price will attend this year�s Opera Ball, according to reports.

Austrian entrepreneurial couple Irene and Alexander Mayer said today (Thurs) they had invited the former "I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!" contender.

"That�s correct, she will come to this year�s Opera Ball," their PR agency said in a statement.

Price was rumoured to be attending the ball together with veteran Viennese playboy Richard Lugner. But the 77-year-old earlier this month said he had de-invited the 31-year-old.

Lugner � who has previously invited stars such as Sophia Loren and Grace Jones to the world famous event set to take place on 11 February � claimed Price had breached an agreement to keep quiet about the invitation until 20 January after newspaper �sterreich had reported 10 days earlier that she would be at his side at the ball.

Lugner has meanwhile announced that "Herbie: Fully Loaded" star Lindsay Lohan will be at his side at next month�s Opera Ball. The shopping-centre manager hit out at the Austrian media after newspapers branded the 23-year-old a "fallen Disney princess".

"She got on the wrong track at some stage, but she achieved many things too," Lugner � who was married four times � said about the bisexual actress.

The Mayers said today they had met Katie Price at various charity events, including a gala for Elton John�s Aids Foundation.

"I�ve heard a lot about what is probably the most-important ball in Europe. I�m looking forward to dancing the Viennese Waltz with my friends and getting to know Austria.

"I�m an ambitious dressage rider and can�t wait to see the Lipizzaner at Vienna�s Spanish Riding School," Price was quoted as saying in a statement issued by Irene and Alexander Mayer today.
