Celeb Big Brother UK

[Katsuya]

So it starts Thursday night, and already there's controversy about Barrymore being one of the contestants this year. Also, rumoured contestants are Anna Nicole Smith, Dennis Rodman and...*shudder* Gillian McKeith

I vote Barrymore to win, just for the outrage it would cause.

[King Ellis]

Rodman? Seems like an odd choice.

I read something saying Liza Tarbuck and Esther Rantzen might be in.

[Guest muddatrucker27]

It'll be shit, like most reality TV shows and ALL 'celebrity' reality TV shows.

But even though I won't watch, Barrymore to win, its about time that guy who dieds family admit that their son was a homosexual and thats not Michael Barrymores fault.

[Guest Small Red]

Apparently 20 celebrities have signed deals and they aren't deciding who goes in until the day.

[The One Bad Ass Outlaw]

They should do a Celeb Big Brother where famous actors have to portray one of their most famous characters throughout their entire stay. I'd have Avid Merrion, The Doctor, Den Watts...hilarity.

Culkin Asked to Reveal Jackson Secrets on 'Big Brother'

Actor Macaulay Culkin has signed up to be a contestant on the new series of British reality show Celebrity Big Brother - and TV bosses are hoping he will reveal all about his friendship with Michael Jackson. The Home Alone star, 25, was reportedly picked because of his troubled childhood and his relationship with pop star Jackson who was acquitted of child abuse charges last year. A source at network Channel 4 tells British newspaper the Daily Star, "This is a great coup for us. And because of his friendship with Michael Jackson, you're almost getting two for the price of one. We were desperate to bag Macaulay because we want some big name Americans who will be controversial and have a chequered history. And he fits the bill nicely because so much has happened to him in his young life. But more importantly he has been privy to Jacko's private world at Neverland." Culkin will reportedly join basketball star Dennis Rodman and Anna Nicole Smith on the show.

[Jam]

Am I the only one hoping that Barrymore will walk in and just go 'alright, alright, alright'. That's all I seem to remember about him, plus I remember an impressionist doing that about him a few years ago. I can actually see him breaking down in there, sort of like Les Dennis nearly did

The odds to win (keep in mind that no-one has been named, so these are just all guesses, all with William Hill)

Johnny Vegas - 3/1

Lisa Tarbuck - 4/1

Jimmy Tarbuck

Boy George - 6/1

Michael Barrymore - 7/1

Esther Rantzen - 8/1

Shane McGowen - 8/1

Derek Acorah - 8/1

Faria Alam - 9/1

Dennis Rodman - 9/1

Pete Burns - 9/1

Joan Rivers - 10/1

Anna Nicole Smith - 10/1

Gillian McKeith - 10/1

Brian Harvey - 12/1

Jocelyn Jee Esien - 12/1

Can't say I'm too familar with the majority further down the list, but I'd agree with Vegas being favorite if he enters. You can also get odds on Culken at Ladbrokes I believe.

[Pesci]

Oh fuck no. No Johnny Vegas. Get that fat blubbering cunt out of there.

[Cactus Drags]

Can we not organise some kind of boycott and stop paying attention to this reality shite just for once? I defy anyone to find me someone who actually enjoyed seeing John McCorick (sp?) in his underwear whinging about diet coke.

[King Ellis]

I found it funny.

[Cactus Drags]

Bleh, I'm tired of the whole pseudo-genre to be honest. at least get some decent celebrities on it, they had Jack Dee on the first one, that was a laugh.

[King Ellis]

Yea, when he escaped. But that odds lists, I don't know half the people on it. And Faria Alam? What good's that gonna be?

"So Faria...you had an affair with someone at the FA?"

"Yeah."

"Oh.....that's interesting."

"Yeah."

"........"

[Cactus Drags]

I'd love it if the house was put under siege and held to ransom and then no one payed the ransom.

[Lord Nibbler]

Derek Acorah would be GOLD.

[Cactus Drags]

I'd appreciate it if the spirit world drowned him in ectoplasm or something.

[Skummy]

I read that Shane MacGowan was rumoured in TV & Satellite Week, and he's one of few people who I'd watch it for, just for the sheer trainwreck effect.

[Iain76er]

Is there gonna be a pool in the house. Because if they are they're asking for trouble.

[Guest muddatrucker27]

Only if they invite some drug snorting homosexuals around. Barrymore did fuck all, he had a big gay party and some extra drowned, its not his fault.
