[LexChaney]

Well it's that time of year again we all like so much. Will any of you be watching the launch tonight, or not ?. It should be fun well I hope it will be.

Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack. What's that?

A new Big Brother series is coming, and this time with an E4 twist. In January the Big Brother House will be hijacked by an assortment of cheeky celebrities. They'll be helping Big Brother handle a new crop of housemates, each with a special skill.

Which celebrities are going in the House?

Putting their stamp on the activities in the Big Brother House during the series so far include: Matt Lucas, Jimmy Carr, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Keith Lemon, Malcolm McLaren, Joan Rivers, Brian Sewell and Ian Wright.

Who are the housemates?

Big Brother has scoured the country for the most gifted individuals in the United Kingdom, all aged between 18 and 21. They've all got unique talents, but will they get to use them?

What are the celebrities going to do to the housemates?

The celebrities are going to team up with Big Brother to set House tasks, talk to the housemates in the Diary Room and get up to lots of cheeky mischief. And they could be cooking up some very unconventional punishments...

Who's presenting Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack?

Dermot O'Leary will present the main Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack show (including the evictions) and, as always, Little Brother. Big Mouth is coming back with two favourites from the previous series - James Corden and Mathew Horne.

What shows are on and when does it start?

Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack's first show will kick off at 9pm on Thursday 3 January on Channel 4 and E4. And after that it'll be on every night at 9pm on E4.

You can watch BBLB on E4 from Monday to Friday at 7.30pm, and on Sundays at 7pm.

Big Mouth is back too, from Monday-Thursday at 10pm and Friday at 10.30pm, only on E4.

Last but not least you can also catch up with Diary Room Uncut on Saturdays at 10pm.

Will Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack have any twists?

It wouldn't be Big Brother without some devious twists and turns along the way. And with a host of celebrities you can bet that there will be even more surprises in store.

What about the official Big Brother website?

As you can see we've got a brand new look, this is the first place to go for OFFICIAL breaking news, up-to-the-minute video from the House, exclusive behind-the-scenes gossip, and amazing features that you won't see anywhere else.

It's ruined the lives of idiots, now it's about to ruin the lives of talented people too.

[therockbox]

Ugh, Jimmy Carr . Why has he reduced himself to this?

[Baddar]

So, is this gonna run for aaaaaaaaagggggeeeeessssss like the normal BB series, or only for a few weeks?

Housemates are listed here: http://www.metro.co.uk/fame/article.html?i...mp;in_page_id=7

Same losers, new gimmick.

[Guest Ant]

I cannot believe we pay our TV licenses o watch utter shit like BB. As Chubby Brown would say..put in a serial killer and kill the freaking lot of them!

[Katsuya]

But...then...we would'nt have been blessed with Samanda!

(Who have a new workout video out, btw...)

I cannot believe we pay our TV licenses o watch utter shit like BB. As Chubby Brown would say..put in a serial killer and kill the freaking lot of them!

You don't, the license fee funds the BBC. The rest are funded by adverts and tenuous 'sponsored by' tie-ins.

[New Damage]

Plus the good news is its only on E4, so we would have to suffer through it.

And the 'celebs' (although most of the ones listed have the the right to be called famous, unlike Jungle, which I didn't watch.) don't actually go in the house, they're 'Big Brother'. So hopefully one of them, in Big Brother mode, decides to cancel the program .

[TFA]

Ugh, this writers strike needs to end so we can get something good on TV. If it continues look forward to Big Brother: Horror Moster and Real World: Metropolis (Yes, a Robot Chicken joke) BAZING!

[Pesci]

I'll probably watch the first episode just for Ian Wright, Jimmy Carr and Matt Lucas. And I'll probably be disappointed so I doubt I'll ever watch it again.

[Scott McFly]

I can't be arsed with Big Brother anymore, that last series in the summer was the final straw, and last year's Celeb BB didn't help matters. Not even Jimmy Carr's gonna be enough to get me to watch this one.

[Pesci]

If they make me wait more than a minute to see Jimmy Carr or Ian Wright, I'm watching Rocky II instead.

[Skummy]

I haven't watched it in years, but Malcolm McLaren as Big Brother is a stroke of genius, even if he is a despicable cunty little nonce.

[Guest TheBlueyComplex]

The whole celebrity hijack thing is so boring, and with them changing the celeb every few days, it's gonna get well confusing. They've whacked an interesting bunch in - so let's just watch them please.

* Chairman of a Scottish Youth political party

* Nerdy entrepeneur

* R&B singer who's supported Kanye West

* Conceptual artist

* Two circus performers

* Successful fashion designer

* Racing car driver

* Junior Olympic gold medal boxer

Fuck me, on their own I can imagine them all kicking each other's heads in. They're an amazing bunch, way more interesting than the typical "blonde model/promotions" crap we get each yeah.
