Poor little babies….

Dear readers, as you hit the hay this evening spare a thought for wee George Askew. George, despite having lived through 6 series’ of Big Brother has only just realised that he may become a household name after he gets evicted. He doesn’t think he’ll be able to handle fame when he gets out.

Hmmmm…..

How can you not know what to expect from a stint in the Big Brother house? I mean, they’ve been in the house little more than a week and quite a few of them seem to regret being in Big Brother already.

Back in the good old days, housemates used to join the show to savour the experience. It was a social experiment back at the start, and interesting to watch the combustible mix of personalities and how people formed bonds and little cliques. These days, the housemates are focussed on the fame afterwards, the presenting gigs, the public appearances and - of course - the magazine deals.

Is that why they’re having a hard time adjusting to the house this year? Is 13 weeks just too long to wait, combined with the possibility that you’ve been edited unfavourably?

Look at Nikki Grahame, for instance. Aspiring z-list Posh Spice footie wife-type. OK, I don’t like her. At all. She’s been banking on Big Brother to launch her to fame, hook her up with a deaf, dumb footballer (he’d have to be deaf to put up with her), but she’s been dumped in an environment where no-one gives a toss about her and certainly don’t want to listen to her crap.

Personally, I don’t think quitters should be allowed to walk out. It undermines the show. They should be bound to their contract with Big Brother and made to follow through to the end unless they are evicted.

What do you think?

To be honest I thought they weren’t too bad, Paul and Debbie certainly weren’t the worst contestants on the battle Of The Stars tonight! That prize would have to go to the old lech and young slapper (aka James Hewitt and Rebecca Loos).

But their fun performance of ‘Let Me Entertain You’ wasn’t enough to save them and tonight Paul Daniels and Debbie McGee became the first casualties of the X Factor - Battle Of The Stars series.

I felt a bit sad, as Paul looked so upset and Debbie was obviously disapponited. Even worse the result meant that some crazy people must have actually voted for Rebecca and James….are they crazy? I would be happy if these two were never seen on our TV screens again, especially the tarty one!

X Factor - Battle Of The Stars kicked off tonight and although we all knew who some of the contestants would be, we had a few surprises when the show aired, some pleasant, some not so much!

The final list of contestants is as follows

Simons Groups:

The Chefs: Jean-Christophe Novelli, Aldo Zilli and Paul Rankin and Ross Burden
James Hewitt and Rebecca Loos
Paul Daniels and Debbie Magee

Sharon Osbourne 16-24 year olds

Michelle Marsh
Nikki Sanderson
Matt Stevens

Louis Walsh 25+

Gillian McKeith
Chris Moyles
Lucy Benjamin

Rebecca Loos and James Hewitt may seem like an unlikely pairing, but the fact that they have teamed up to appear on X Factor - Battle Of The Stars should come as no shock. I think the old lech and young slapper are very well suited.

The ruined the song ‘Adiicted To Love’ with James singing completely out of tune and Rebecca prancing round the stage managing to sound good in comparison.

When the time came for the judges to speak, Sharon Osbourne certainly pulled no punches! She asked James Hewitt if he used to be in the army, when he replied that he had she said “well you should be shot for that performance!”. She then turned her venom on Rebecca Loos, who she advised to keep her knickers on tomorrow night as it might warm her voice up. When Rebecca tried to defend herself Sharon replied “You have a very bad vibe”.

Well done Sharon for telling it like it is. Get rid of this team, they can’t sing and they are a despicable pair of human beings!

New housemates in Big Brother this evening, Aisling(?) and Sam were given to the group as prizes at the end of the Meal Or No Meal task.

At about 9:45, Davina passed over to a live feed directly from the Big Brother house. Glyn as positioned in the garden and Pete was called to the Diary Room to answer four questions based on earlier rounds of the quiz.

Pete answered correctly about George’s Jack Russels, and the group were rewarded with the remainder of their food and household items. He also got the second question correct about Sezer’s circumcision. Glyn was asked to open the second box, revealing pretty blonde Aisleyne.

Pete fluffed the third question (Who was the 9th housemate to enter the Big Brother house?), but nailed the fourth (Which housemate would like to be reincarnated as a pair of French knickers? Sezer, naturally.)

Glyn opened the fourth door and out jumped Sam. I think the Scottish accent made me think that it was actually Shahbaz in a wig (wouldn’t that have been fun?), but it turns out that Sam is actually a guy. Quite a pretty guy too, I must say!!!

Celebsnoop reports
“The lowdown on Sam according to one forum is that he, she, is Samuel Brodie is 18, has had a boob job, and is booked in for his full operation soon. His parents back him completely and have even paid for a few of the gender swap operations.”

Too early to comment on the new housemates just yet - the Big Brother website isn’t even updated just yet. Here’s hoping they stir things up a bit, perhaps impress upon Nikki how lucky she is to be in the house.

There’s a live discussion in the Big Brother Website’s forum right now.

Things seem to be heating up between former Miss Wales Imogen Thomas, and young entrepreneur Sezer Yurtseven.

Sezer has been publicly complaining to anyone who will listen about how frustrated he is becoming with the lack of sexual attention he is receiving in the house, especially since Imogen is allowing him into her bed less and less.

However, the frost Miss Thomas must be starting to thaw, and the pair tonight disappeared into the bedroom where Sezer started to give Imogen a steamy massage. After they failed to emerge from the bedroom, the other housemates gathered around the door and window, trying to spy and see exactly what the pair were getting up to.

Today saw Nikki and Lisa taking their turn to compete in ‘Meal Or No Meal’.

Both girls answer their first question correctly, Nikki then guesses that bald eagle are not actually bald, which was of course the wrong answer! But the two girls pulled it back by knowing that a pigeon can fly with one wing, and that there are more pigs than people in Denmark.

Next week will see the housemates surviving on a diet of confectionary, meat, and alcohol, with no toilet paper or new shower gels. Watch as the tempers begin to fray!

During friday’s eviction show Davina McCall hinted that something big would be going down on Monday night. Well the day has arrived and Channel 4 have now confirmed that at least one and possibly two new housemates will be entering the Big Brother house this evening.

The housemates will be prizes won during the final round of ‘ Meal or no meal’, and whether one or two housemates enter will depend upon how well the current housemates do in their task.

The new housemate/s will be immune from nominations this week, and the nominations have been set back by one day to allow for this final part of the task.

Rumours are circulating that Big Brother is considering putting in a pair of twins, but you’ll have to watch Big brother at 9pm tonight to see who exactly will be entering the house.

Diet Guru Gillian McKeith came a cropper last week while having a public row with X factor judge Louis Walsh.

Louis very publicly criticised the star last week, and Gillian saw red when she ran into him at The Princes Trust concert at the weekend. She got so carried away in her rage she slipped, fell over and sprained her wrist.

One onlooker said: “She was absolutely fuming when she spotted him. She yelled that he was being unprofessional and trying to ruin her chances before the show even started.

“Louis couldn’t get a word in edgeways and went redder and redder.” Gillian, famous for publicly analysing fat people’s pooh on her show You Are What You Eat, was eventually dragged away by I’m A Celebrity winner Kerry Katona.

But as she prepared to make an exit, mum-of-two Gillian slipped on spilled wine and crashed into a table covered in empty glasses.

“It was very embarrassing. Gillian sprained her wrist and has been telling everyone who’ll listen how it’s all Louis’ fault,” said the onlooker. Gillian, who suffers from the spinal condition scoliosis, said yesterday: “Louis really hurt me with those comments. To insult someone’s looks is out of order. I gave him a piece of my mind. I was upset when I walked off. I wasn’t looking where I was going and slipped. But my wrist’s getting better. I hope the sling’s off in time for the show.”

Yesterday former Westlife manager Louis tried to play down the incident. “She hasn’t taken me to task about anything,” he insisted, adding mischievously: “There’s no way I’d have any sort of consultation with Dr Gillian McKeith.”

Sam Brodie is an 18 year old transvestite.

He is a bingo-loving Princess Diana fan who once spent £495 on a designer handbag!

He says that his biggest regret is moving from a private school to a state school and reckons that his happiest times were living in Indonesia as a child.

He says he is not a huge drinker and loves a good glossy magazine…

Aisleyne is a 27 year old model from London

She says she would love to become a famous pop star and admits that her current job has a ’shelf-life.’

She lives with her flatmate and a cat called Princess and says one of the things that most irritates her is when people can’t get her hair straight.

Big Brother has given the contestants a task named ‘Meal or No Meal’ and this week it certainly looks as if it will be no meals for the housemates.

The basic premise of the task is that Big Brother will ask quiz show like questions to the housemates, wherever and whenever, and their answers will determine whether they receive certain items from their weekly shopping list.

Day 10 saw Sezer and George playing a game called ‘Knowing Me Knowing You’ for a weeks worth of confectionary, which they won. Imogen then managed to lose a weeks worth of toilet rolls and shower gel by failing to remember who the 9th housemate to enter the house was.

Finally today saw Grace and Richard reveal their poor knowledge of their fellow housemates, when they were faced with a list of questions about their new found friends. As a result the housemates have also lost their weeks supply of fruit and vegetables.

So the next week will see the housemates eating meals of meat, crisps and chocolate, while having to avoid the toilet as much as possible and wash only the essential areas in a bid to save shower gel.

They are going to be one hungry, windy and smelly bunch of people!

Matthew Stevens (born 1 October 1982 in Durban, South Africa) is rugby union player, who plays at tighthead prop for Bath and England.

He was educated at Kearsney College, South Africa. His early representative honours include Western Province, South African Universities and the Junior Springboks at Under 18 and Under 19 level. Matt joined Bath in September 2002.

Matt Stevens burst onto the scene towards the end of the 2002/03 season making five appearances as a substitute and giving an indication as to his explosive qualities. He underlined those qualities with some strong performances coming off the bench for Bath early in the season as the pack dominated all opposition.

He is physically very well developed and his scrummaging is strong. He is a good lifter at the line-out and in open play Matt excels. He has genuine pace, as the New Zealand Barbarians found when they came up against him in a non-cap game in November 2003. Matt combines that pace with great hands and a tricky sidestep, as well as some destructive direct running.

Matt first caught the eye of the England selectors in 2003, when playing for England in the IRB Under 21 World Cup held in Oxfordshire. He was fast-tracked through the England set up and won his first two caps against the All Blacks on the summer tour to New Zealand and Australia. However a knee injury made him unavailable for the Test against the Wallabies in Brisbane.

He was in demand during Bath’s successful 2003/04 drive to the top of the Zurich Premiership table. In March 2004 he was selected as a replacement against Ireland at Twickenham ahead of Jason Leonard.

Stevens came into the England team in the 2005 Six Nations, and was one of the standout performers in England’s disappointing campaign. Athletic and versatile in the loose and powerful in the scrum, he looks set to be the rock upon the English pack is built together with Andrew Sheridan in the post Woodward and Johnson era. Also selected for the 2005 British Lions tour, featuring in six games.

After the 2005-06 season, Matt appeared on the ITV1 show The X Factor: Battle Of The Stars.

Major James Hewitt (born 1958), former British cavalry officer, is famous for being the lover of Diana, Princess of Wales. He has courted controversy by revealing details of their affair.

Diana admitted in her famous Panorama interview that she had committed adultery with Hewitt, saying, “Yes, I adored him. Yes, I was in love with him.” As Diana was then the wife of the Prince of Wales, heir to the throne, this would be high treason, if prosecuted. Although there has been speculation that Hewitt is the natural father of Prince Harry, he claims to have met Diana for the first time in 1986, two years after Harry was born. Hewitt became Diana’s riding instructor, with the affair said to have begun in 1987 and ending in 1992. He retired from the Life Guards in March 1994 after 17 years of service.

In a recent interview, however, Maj. Hewitt admitted under hypnosis that he’d met Diana in 1981 or 1982 and that their affair began shortly afterward, leaving open the possibility that he is Prince Harry’s natural father. [1]

Hewitt made the news by attempting to sell letters that Diana had written to him. On July 21, 2004 he was arrested at a bar in London on suspicion of being in possession of a Class A drug, reportedly cocaine. He was bailed to report to police in September.

James Hewitt lifted 82.5kg in the 2003 weightlifting event of Channel Four’s The Games (a celebrity athletics tournament), setting a record which he held jointly with 2004 competitor Shane Lynch, until this was beaten in 2005 by Philip Olivier. He eventually came second.

In 2003, James took part in the Five reality TV show Back To Reality and eventually won it.

In 2005, he took part in the ITV wrestling competition Celebrity Wrestling.

In 2005 James appeared on Heads Up with Richard Herring to discuss his life, career and his love of poker.

In 2006 he appeared on the BBC show Top Gear as a celebrity guest - He was not recognised by presenter Jeremy Clarkson, who referred to him as “the well spoken man”.

He was then seen on the Sky One show Vroom Vroom, where he accepted the Cat and Mouse Challenge.

In May, Hewitt starred as a contestant in The X Factor: Battle Of The Stars, alongside fellow kiss-and-tell “celebrity” Rebecca Loos.

Early Life and Career

When England football captain David Beckham moved to Real Madrid on a four year contract on 17 June 2003, he and his family needed help moving and settling in. His management company SFX sought out a young, capable, multi-lingual female who could take on the role of personal assistant during the transition period. Loos was the only employee in the SFX Madrid office who spoke English and Spanish fluently, so she immediately began getting Beckham established and comfortable in Madrid.

Beckham and Loos worked closely together both professionally and socially, and Loos claimed that she became an “alternative wife”. As Beckham’s wife Victoria wanted to develop her UK music career, and as she was not initially happy in Madrid, she spent much of her time in England. Loos claimed this resulted in Beckham becoming bored, them spending almost all their time together socially, and that this led to a four month sexual affair.

Loos sold her story to the News of the World tabloid newspaper in April 2004, explaining that they had had a whirlwind affair that included sexy text messages - which were later published. She added to the intense speculation with both revelations mainly about Victoria Beckham and then the announcement of her own bisexuality. The story generated a huge amount of publicity in the tabloid press, launching Loos’s career as an ephemeral celebrity.

Media Career

In 2004 she presented a programme on Dutch television together with Gerard Joling, a singer who represented Holland at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1988. Her appearance was unsuccessful and short-lived, partly due to the strength of her English accent when speaking Dutch. She failed to attract the ratings producers had hoped for and was dropped from the show.

In October 2004, she appeared on the reality television programme The Farm, a Channel 5 version of the RTE show Celebrity Farm. At one point she was famously given the task of masturbating a pig and collecting its semen. The broadcast of this provoked controversy, attracted complaints, and generated extra publicity for Loos, who made tabloid headlines once again as a result.

The incident was viewed by some commentators as an apt example of the depths to which would-be celebrities would go for public exposure, and the lengths to which the producers of reality television would go to humiliate them in order to satisfy the interests of viewers (see also I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!). It was also borderline bestiality. The RSPCA weighed in on the controversy, claiming that the incident, and indeed the whole series, was evidence of an unnatural interest in the sexual aspects of farm animals.

In 2005, Loos appeared on the ITV reality show Celebrity Love Island.

She also starred in The X Factor: Battle Of The Stars, under the “groups” category, singing along with fellow celebrity James Hewitt.

Personal life

Loos was born in in Madrid, Spain, the daughter of a Dutch diplomat and an English mother. Growing up, she was privately educated. After moving back to Madrid in 2002, Loos worked for an American investment bank, looking after bankers.

Shortly after the newspaper coverage of her relationship with David Beckham, Loos came out publicly as a bisexual, saying “I am indeed bisexual and have been ever since I was a teenager” (The Observer).

In 1999 while in London, she had a series of Lesbian lovers, including estate agent and TV presenter Emma Basden with whom she would enjoy a long term relationship. When Loos moved to Madrid, she claims to have seduced a previously straight blonde French au pair called Virginie

In the period before Celebrity Love Island, Loos had her breasts enlarged from 34C to 34D. During the transmissions of Celebrity Love Island in May 2005, Loos kissed Abi Titmuss and then cuddled up to Calum Best in the Love Shack.

In 2005, in protest at America’s laws on Gay Marriage, Loos “married” famous fashion lesbian model Jenny Shimizu for the TV program Power Lesbian UK. It was broadcast in the USA as Power Lesbians on LOGO which profiled successful lesbians in Los Angeles. The two shared a relationship for a period afterwards.
