The Daily Star are busy making a big deal today about the fact that former Big Brother star, Jade Goody has been slagging off the show and claiming that she would never join it’s cast again.

I don’t see what’s so surprising about this statement. Jade is claiming that the new BB series, Celebrity Hijack is crap and that she wouldn’t grace it with her presence. In reality, I seriously doubt if BB bosses would have her back. Not even an Endemol boss would be that publicity hungry!

Jade told The Daily Star:

“It’s just over. I’m done with i Read more & comment »

Michael was taking part in a usual training session at Elstree studios ice rink with partner Melanie Lambert, learning his new routine, when during a standard stopping manoeuvre, he fell awkwardly on his ankle.

An ITV spokesperson said: “After breaking his ankle last night, Michael Underwood can no longer compete in Dancing on Ice. The whole team are sad to see Michael leave the competition in this way and wish him a speedy recovery.”

In case you missed last nights first episode of Ladette To Lady on ITV1, we have brought you a video of the moment Liverpool Ladette Charlotte Donoghue decided 24 hours was enough and left Egglestone Hall.

Her parting words were: “I don’t wanna be a lady no more, I don’t like getting like, really like getting up, I like don’t like working and putting my mind to things. I just like doing what I want and doing things and stuff…”

Priceless!

Next week’s episode see’s the wannabe ladies tackle riding side saddle and hosting a silver service dinner party.

The definition of car crash TV must be Ladette To Lady – something that’s absolute torture to watch, yet once you start watching it you can’t flick away to another channel.

Tonight was the first episode of the third series, and the voiceover lady announced the ladettes as the most lairy bunch to date. Practically beyond help.

And by God they were. Possibly the scariest creatures I’ve had the misfortune to see. Last years’ crowd seemed positively Princess Di by comparison. Think the sluttiest Big Brother contestant you’ve ever seen and multiply by 15.

However, I couldn’t help wondering about the way the show is constructed. Both in the selection of candidates and in the way they’re ‘coached’ by the frightening panel of experts.

You know what you think about animal testing, right? But what are your views on model testing?

MTV puts beautiful models to the test! Throwing them into a house to carry out experiments and IQ tests to decide who will win the dubious title of ‘America’s Most Smartest Model.’

If cruel tests on gorgeous models offend you, then don’t watch it on Sunday 20th Jan, 9pm, on MTV ONE.
