Because it starts next Wednesday and I want to build up some preliminary excitement before the massive letdown that's forthcoming.

Carol Lee Scott was "Grotbags" in The Rod Hull Show, btw. If K-Fed is on the show I'll eat my poorly selling hat. Courtney Love has a real inevitability about it, huh?

― Dom Passantino (DomPassantino), Thursday, 28 December 2006 19:15 (nineteen years ago)

You think Tara Reid would be intimidated by spending five weeks in the company of a celebrity as famous as Jason Cundy?

― Dom Passantino (DomPassantino), Thursday, 28 December 2006 19:19 (nineteen years ago)

Danielle Lloyd is the woman who (certainly didn;t) win the Miss Britain title by sucking off Teddy Sheringham. Matthew Stiff is the second fattest one in G4.

LAUREN HARRIES FTW

― Dom Passantino (DomPassantino), Thursday, 28 December 2006 19:21 (nineteen years ago)

Add Shilpa Shetty and Whitney Houston to that potential housemate list.

― Dom Passantino (DomPassantino), Thursday, 28 December 2006 19:26 (nineteen years ago)

Tom Stephens

― Johnny Cash Rules Everything Around Me (Modal Fugue), Thursday, 28 December 2006 19:27 (nineteen years ago)

The Bishop's too big a star for something as poxy as this.

― Dom Passantino (DomPassantino), Thursday, 28 December 2006 19:28 (nineteen years ago)

Speaking of Bishops, I would love to see Ian 'Harold' Smith on a reality show.

― Chap (chap), Friday, 29 December 2006 01:50 (nineteen years ago)

The only name I've seen in the 'advance' list was Leilani.

I think she's a plant.

Oh, boom boom!

― M Grout (Mark Grout), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 02:14 (nineteen years ago)

I'm hearing the lead singer of Towers of London. Joy.

― Dom Passantino (DomPassantino), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 02:17 (nineteen years ago)

The theme of this series should be "OK, so we aint gonna top last years, it's impossible, hey watch anyway"

― M Grout (Mark Grout), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 02:23 (nineteen years ago)

Also Jade Goody plus her entire family, apparently.

Disinformation!

(I reckons)

― M Grout (Mark Grout), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 03:06 (nineteen years ago)

I reckon it's all a load of disinformation. The rumours last year were wild and we ended up with people no-one had guessed (Maggot, anyone?)

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 03:10 (nineteen years ago)

I'm guessing "not Hasselhof" as he's doing some theatre thing in February, and presumably spending the runup time rehearsing, right?

― M Grout (Mark Grout), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 12:08 (nineteen years ago)

That would apparently be correct, yes.

Tommy Sheridan's supposedly turned them down too.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 12:20 (nineteen years ago)

Ken Russell!

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 03:15 (nineteen years ago)

Yes!

― M Grout (Mark Grout), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 09:44 (nineteen years ago)

Mark E Smith said he turned down 'I'm A Celebrity...'. What a bloody great shame.

― David (grammy), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 09:52 (nineteen years ago)

What a bloody great fibber.

― M Grout (Mark Grout), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 09:57 (nineteen years ago)

What is it with the modern obsession with David Hasselhoff, that just mentioning his name makes everyone giggle? How can one figure remain so drolly kitsch for so long?

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 10:23 (nineteen years ago)

As long as he continues to be a completely ridiculous self-parody with absolutely no conception of what people actually think of him (see also Shatner, William)

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 11:20 (nineteen years ago)

as long as he continues to get paid mega to be a crspwancowpatoh(sas,w)

― M Grout (Mark Grout), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 11:23 (nineteen years ago)

i don't understand how anyone can be amused/entertained by hasselhoff any more? he's not funny.

― lexpretend (lexpretend), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 11:30 (nineteen years ago)

The Germans like him.

-- Alba (albab...), January 3rd, 2007.

it's a justin lee collins thing.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 11:34 (nineteen years ago)

many people seem to have very low standards of humour.

― lexpretend (lexpretend), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 11:34 (nineteen years ago)

To be fair, Hassehoff is funnier than Justin Lee Collins.

― Johnny Cash Rules Everything Around Me (Modal Fugue), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 11:35 (nineteen years ago)

Justin Lee Collins is a twat. As is anyone who needs him to tell them who to like ironically. As is anyone who likes anyone ironically, come to think of it.

(I hate the phrase "liking something ironically", but I can't think of a better one right now. While searching for a better phrase to explain what I mean, btw, I came across this which is horrific and was evidently written by someone who doesn't understand irony)

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 11:52 (nineteen years ago)

Ailsa, do you really think the Hoff doesn't know that people find him funny? I had always kind of assumed he did.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 11:54 (nineteen years ago)

I don't pay that much attention, tbh. He seems a bit deluded though.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 11:57 (nineteen years ago)

So far Channel 4 has given some clues about the contestants, saying that one person rates Baywatch - Hasselhoff's former show - as their favourite TV programme.
Another is an expert fly-fisher, while two others have attended a dance school and a convent respectively.
One is obsessed with Formula 1 motor racing, another still lives with her mother, while two of the celebrities have servants, according to the broadcaster.

― M Grout (Mark Grout), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 12:16 (nineteen years ago)

1. Chris Evans
2. J.R. Hartley
3. Darcey Bustle
4. Mother Theresa
5. Murray Walker
6. Angelina Ballerina
7. Prince William
8. ach whoever.

HARRIES CONFIRMED W00T

― Dom Passantino (DomPassantino), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 12:24 (nineteen years ago)

From the NME:

Rumours abound as to who will enter the house - among the names who have been mentioned include Towers Of London star Donny Tourette, former frontman with The Darkness, Justin Hawkins, Whitney Houston, David Hasselhoff, Robert Kilroy-Silk and 'H' from Steps.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:26 (nineteen years ago)

The person who usually gets them pretty much spot on on Digital Spy is reporting no Lauren Harries and no Kilroy. Names not yet mentioned on this thread who we may well see tonight = Leo Sayer, Cleo Rocos, Jo O'Meara off S Club 7.

"I smell celebrities".

― Dom Passantino (DomPassantino), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 19:59 (nineteen years ago)

OK, not that funny.

― Dom Passantino (DomPassantino), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 19:59 (nineteen years ago)

Not funny at all. She's rocking the Michelle Bass look as well. Not good.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 20:00 (nineteen years ago)

Here's Feltz having a meltdown.

One of those on the quick fire "OMG NEW CELEBS MONTAGE" appeared to be Ron Atkinson.

― Dom Passantino (DomPassantino), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 20:03 (nineteen years ago)

(oh, I missed the montage of "bits of people" when I was typing that. Not that it was much use last year)

Davina does appear to have come dressed as half Geordie slapper on a night out, half gentleman thief.

― Dom Passantino (DomPassantino), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 20:06 (nineteen years ago)

Oh God, interactive Big Brother letterboxy thing! No!

tbh, I just want Littlejohn in now.

― Dom Passantino (DomPassantino), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 20:12 (nineteen years ago)

There's supposed to be a very good fly fisherman going into the house. Chris tarrant is a fly fisherman, but is his profile in such a dire need of a kick start? Eric clapton is also a keen fly fisherman, but I can't see that really.

― vicky (Vicky), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 20:12 (nineteen years ago)

Re-animated corpse of JR Hartley? Bob Nudd?

I had a "Chelsea Clinton/Euan Blair" type idea earlier on, to try and outdo I'm A Celeb getting Lauren Booth and Carol Thatcher.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 20:14 (nineteen years ago)

Perhaps Bollywood Star "Bollywood Star On Celeb Big Brother" relaxes from an energetic day's dancing with some fly fishing?

― Dom Passantino (DomPassantino), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 20:14 (nineteen years ago)

Perhaps Ed Byrne and Mowbli will be on.

He's supposed to be the David Gest of this bitch, right?

― Dom Passantino (DomPassantino), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 20:16 (nineteen years ago)

Didn't Rich Hall do a fishing series on BBC4 (well a comedy show on a fishing boat anyway).

I'm bored with Jermaine already.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 20:17 (nineteen years ago)

Hi, it's Carol Malone who has forthright opinions.

Shilpa is very VERY pretty. I love how Leo introduces himself as "Leo Sayer" to everyone, not just as "Leo".

Yeah I meant to mention Carole Malone upthread too - she was the other one on that 100% spot on list I'd read earlier.

Carol Malone getting some 97-era Bret Hart heat from the crowd.

I like how the tabloid-reading masses are booing someone from the tabloids.

Okay the Sun is going to be very entertaining for the next few weeks.

Lol at loud chant of "who are ya?" as she went in

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:02 (nineteen years ago)

It's that wanker from that shit band.

― Dom Passantino (DomPassantino), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:03 (nineteen years ago)

haha, Carole's all "I knew you were in, we heard about it today" - so much for the "going into hiding, keep it all secret" pish.

Wanker from shit band who goes out with Peaches Geldof, mind.

I wonder if Donny will tell the tale of when their bassist tried to beat up the drummer from My Chemical Romance.

is that rod stewart?

The sight of Donny Tourette has led to a flood of reminiscing about Kenny Everett in the office.

...Donny Tourette used to go round Leo Sayer's house?

it's a great career move, though. i mean, look at the astonishing success the ordinary boys now enjoy.

That Bloke From The Worst Band Ever is going to get lynched. That was all rather wonderful.

Although we will get to see Leo Sayer in full-on embarassing Down With The Kids mode first.

(apart from the towers of london one)

― lexpretend (lexpretend), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:14 (nineteen years ago)

Two more to go.

100% correct on the list on DS, meaning just Cleo Rocos and Dirk Benedict to go.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:15 (nineteen years ago)

H celebrates his coming out by looking oddly like the singer from The Feeling.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:15 (nineteen years ago)

It's newly-outed H!

so that's what the H is for!

i always thought it was for "twat".

― grimly fiendish (simon), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:16 (nineteen years ago)

A bit heavy on the pop stars, this one, isn't it? Five so far.

H was for "Hepatitis"

Cleo Rocos is the only one of the housemates who doesn't have a Wikipedia entry, assuming the last one is Dirk Benedict.

Cue lots of morons voting for Leo instead of Cleo because they can't work their phones.

― Dom Passantino (DomPassantino), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:23 (nineteen years ago)

I found it strangely warming how Leo remembered meeting Cleo a long time ago. How nice, to think of the early 80s celebrity party circuit.

Jo seems nice and down to earth.

Jermaine seemed to be hoping to recognise someone, and was disappointed at every entrance.

Dirk makes me smile, for him, not A-Team nostalgia. It sounded like the same bloke shouting "We love you Face" as shouted "Who are ya?" at the Sunday Mirror woman.

I wonder if Peaches' boyfriend will find an ally in there at all.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:35 (nineteen years ago)

TS - knowing full well Dirk Benedict wants some of that Hasselhoff/Mr T cash vs turning up in the A-Team van was really fucking cool.

Obviously he is the absolute dead cert nailed on winner so here's hoping one of the housemates ends up fucking Ken Russell in order to keep things interesting.

Cleo = Suzie. Broing.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:37 (nineteen years ago)

(I have just turned over to that celebrity singing thing and Tito Jackson is on the panel. Are we importing them all one by one? And why is Janet Ellis doing this instead of CBB?)

I think Donny and Danielle will be first off*. Dirk seems to be trying too hard. I like Jo and Leo, and Ken will be fun. I think H will be OK.

* though if this "housemate to be adopted by BB family next door" thing is indeed involving Jade's family, then I hope Donny goes there instead

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:38 (nineteen years ago)

fuck jade's family. (not literally, though. JESUS CHRIST, no.)

The office are now enthusing about 'Bring Back The A-Team'. I'm here till midnight, folks.

Oh, definitely the former. When Justin Lee Collins wheeled his shitty nostalgia-fest into town, the dollar signs must have been whirling in his eyes. Why the fuck not? People fall for it. He still won't win.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:44 (nineteen years ago)

I know there is no use in either of these and they have been said countless times before and many are thinking them but:

actually, it does not matter

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:47 (nineteen years ago)

It came out in about 1986. You should hear it, it's the best thing ever. Grace Jones does a cameo on one of the songs, but she's uncredited!

I've sent you the track Dancefloor Looker - you can only hear Grace if you listen clearly, she sort of moans in the background. It's on of the more slowed down, primal ones.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:57 (nineteen years ago)

Jo and maybe Dirk if he calms down a bit are the only ones I would at all like to be stuck in a small house with. Jermaine looked incredibly miffed that more people weren't recognising him. Why do people like Leo? He'd intensely irritating and possibly some kind of sex pervert.

― Chap (chap), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:58 (nineteen years ago)

Donny Tower of Twattishness 'I'm so rock'n'roll, me' looks like he's modelling for Top Shop. Leo Sayer isn't bad... yet. Cleo could go either way. I'mshaggingafootballer McNonentity-Jones needs to die. Jo & H = meh. Tabloid woman = don't know her, but don't like her. Ken is God but will probably die halfway through.

Having said that, I never watch this stuff all the way through. So you guys had better be good again this year.

― emil.y (emil.y), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:11 (nineteen years ago)

― grimly fiendish (simon), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 23:44 (nineteen years ago)

I just flicked on the live E4 feed and heard Danielle say "I just don't want to see ––––––'s meat and two veg again" and H and Carol nodded their agreement as the sound cut out. Rewinding the Humax, it sounded like "Bottom J's meat and two veg", but I don't think there's anyone in it called "Bottom J" so maybe she was talking about her life outside the house.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 23:52 (nineteen years ago)

They've just showed her on BBBM - she was talking about Ken's "meat and two veg" just now to H and Carol.

I'm still not clear if this was something she saw inside or outside the show.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 4 January 2007 00:03 (nineteen years ago)

She saw them, in the show, then went off to tell H and Carol. She was none too impressed.
