Jack Whitehall is the new Russell Brand, or he hopes he is anyway as he takes over Brands launchpad, Big Brother’s Big Mouth.
Jack has been chatting about what calibre of housemate he’d like to see enter the house tonight and ideally he’d like to see some obnoxious housemates in there….I say his wish will probably come true!
Jack commented:
Celebrity Big Brother kicks off on Channel 4 tonight and here are the folks you can expect to see as housemates for this 2009 series.
Michael Jackson’s sister Latoya Jackson
Glamour Model Lucy Pinder
Former Liberty X singer Michelle Heaton
Former New Romantics singer Steve Strange is said to have been a last minute addition to the Celebrity Big Brother lineup.
The show kicks off tonight but Steve is thought to have only signed up for the series within the last few days.
A source told The Sun: “He’s not a huge name like LaToya Jackson but he’s a zany character and that’s what Big Brother is all about.
Sources have claimed that Latoya Jackson pulled out of appearing on this years I’m A Celebrity in order to take part in Channel 4’s Celebrity Big Brother.
Latoya is said to have agreed to enter the jungle in November but changed her mind after she watched some footage of the show and realised what it would entail.
A source told The Sun: “When she realised she might have to eat kangaroo testicles that was it.”
Sources suggest that Tony Mortimer from former boyband, East 17, has been lined up as a standby for this years Celebrity Big Brother show.
The newest series kicks off tonight, but if one of the stars leaves early or walks off Tony will be waiting in the wings to take their place.
A source told The Sun: “Tony’s really excited, he really wants someone to walk so he can go in.
“He’s been out of the limelight for a while and he wants a comeback.”
Controversial Scottish politician, Tommy Sheridan is said to be ready to enter the Celebrity Big Brother house tonight.
Tommy will be the second politician to appear on the show after George Galloway made a fool of himself in 2007 by impersonating a horny cat.
Rupert Adams, from William Hill, isn’t optimistic about Tommy’s chances and would not be surprised if he was the first to be evicted from the house.
He said:
US rapper Coolio is said to have agreed to appear on this years Celebrity Big Brother series.
The Gangsta’s Paradise hitmaker is no stranger to reality Tv shows as he stars in Coolio’s Rules, a US programme which follows him as he tries to juggle his career as a musician, his catering business and being a single parent of four.

Celebrity Big Brother kicks off tomorrow night and Hollywood star, Verne Troyer is rumoured to have signed up as a housemate.
Verne played Mini-Me in the Austin Powers movies and stands at a mere 2 foot 8 inches tall. BB bosses have made an effort to fit the house out so that he can manage on a day to day basis but sources suggest that Verne has also requested a mini staircase with wheels that he can use to reach all areas of the house.
An insider told The Sun: “Verne is tiny, so everything in his own home is decked out so he can use it.
Yesterday we were lucky enough to have been invited for a press tour of the Big Brother house and see first hand where this years celebrities would be spending their next three weeks.
We loved the luxury bedroom and the new garden layout, check out those pictures here, but we particularly enjoyed getting our photo taken in the extended nomination pod and in the revamped diary room.
Check out the pictures over the jump and by the way they insisted we wear the strange blue shoes so the carpets weren’t ruined, I am really not that unfashionable!
Celebrity Big Brother bosses have admitted that the stars of this years show did have certain requests which they honoured in order to secure them for the show.
This year there will be no cameras in the showers or toilets and the housemates will have all round access to gym equipment whilst they are in the house.
This years Celebrity Big Brother housemates have been told to watch the previous series of the show and learn from mistakes of the housemates.
The last series of the show aired two years ago and ended in a blaze of fury after Jade Goody made various racist remarks about Indian actress, Shilpa Shetty.
In a bid to ensure that a similar scandal doesn’t occur again show bosses have met with all eleven housemates lined up for 2009 and asked them to watch previous episodes so that they know what to expect.
Sir Paul McCartney has blasted reality TV shows such as The X Factor and I’m A Celebrity because he reckons they humiliate people and take over TV scheduling.
The veteran singer told The Sunday Times that reality TV shows are “crowding out more creative programmes.”
“You can’t turn on the telly without somebody being judged by four people, whether they are on ice, or on the stage or in the jungle” he said.
“It’s compulsive viewing, but so is a traffic accident.”
Sir Paul, 66, also revealed how happy he is to be in a new relationship with Nancy Shevell, 47. Read more & comment »
The X Factor’s Creative Director, Brian Friedman, has recently spoken out about his annoyance at Cheryl Cole’s criticism of his choice of outfits for some of the finalists during the show.
Brian helped boyband JLS come up with their outfits and choreography during Big Band week but Cheryl wasn’t impressed and called the boys outfits ‘dated’.
‘I didn’t think their jackets were dated at all,’ Brian told Now magazine.
‘They were made recently, they fitted great, and they looked smooth. Who’s Cheryl to say sequins are dated?’ Read more & comment »
Ulrika Jonsson has had a bitch about Myleene Klass ahead of going into the Celebrity Big Brother house.
Ulrika reckons that Myleene Klass “should thank” I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here for reviving her career.
Myleene, 30, landed a well paying advertising contract with M&S after she took part in the show in 2006 and Ulrika made the catty comments about her in Now magazine.
Speaking about Myleene’s jungle role, Ulrika said, “I know I’m A Celebrity pays well and it’s been known to enhance even the most paralysed of careers – ie, Myleene Klass – but I don’t like the thought of being stuck in the same rainforest as Robert Kilroy-Snake” she said. Read more & comment »
