Celebrity Big Brother 2010 Launch Liveblogged

After some seemingly endless Simpsons Movie credits, the curtain is about to go up on the final (?) series of Celebrity Big Brother. It’s gonna be a slightly sentimental moment as we watch the celebrities we’re gonna hate/love/hate for  the next few weeks walk into the house!

We have a bit of an idea of who is going in and have already had a tour of the house but we are soooo excited about the many surprises tonight’s show will no doubt throw up.

For anyone watching the show tonight, and we know there will be millions of you, make sure you join us here where we will be live blogging the show. You’re invited to leave your insightful and very funny comments, as always. And don’t forget, send us your opinions via Twitter (@unrealitytv) we sometimes publish the best comments in our liveblog post!

Here we go…

Ah, the lovely Davina. She’s back, back in black. Loving the tight trousers, Davina!

First up is the tour of the house – the Diary Room has been revamped with a circus theme, and the chair is from a waltzer! Brilliant! Not as comfy as previous years, but roomy I suppose.

Stephen Baldwin

OMG! They show some pretty frightening footage of Stephen Baldwin – from snorting cocaine to becoming a born-again Christian and threatening to leave America if Barrack Obama gets into the White House. He promises to be the “light of truth” when he enters the house. However, his first obstacle is getting into the house. Can I say “dumb American”? Big Brother comes to the rescue with directions…

Nicola T

My skin is crawling already at the sight of this self-admitted WAG. Pretty enough girl, was not expecting to see her nipply bits on TV, but it’s after the watershed, so… There’s no messing about with this girl, they just throw her right in there. Anyone else looking for that WAGS Workout video?

Alex Reid

Who’s this nobody? A cross-dressing cage-fighter? Sounds like a real attention seeker.

I think what he was trying to say was that he’s had a whole lot of shit written about him in the last six months, most of it which isn’t true. He’s hoping to turn our frowns upside down and also our boos to cheers. I somehow doubt it, but I suppose we’ll find out. We can only hope his missus doesn’t turn up and ruin the party for him with a proposal…

Stephanie Beecham

Or that woman Ken Barlow had an affair with. A glamorous granny, but not in the sense of the word glamor that Nicola T embodies (eww), it’s hard to give a toss really. She seems harmless enough though…

Lady Sovereign

Love it! Lady Sovereign introduces herself to the other celebs as “Sov”. She’s been heckled by the audience for being a chav, but that’s kinda the first word that comes to mind whenever you see her. Could she be filling Mutya Buena’s role of down-and-out pop star for this year?

Seriously though, I like her – I think she’s got a bolshy attitude, but she’ll turn out to be a wee pussycat, helping Beecham cross the road and stuff like that.

Sisqo

Pint-sized hornball Sisqo is heading into the BB house. Well, he would if he’d get over his self-indulgent rendition of Thong Song! I suppose most of us needed a reminder…

Dane Bowers

If you had trouble remembering who Sisqo was, you’ll be in trouble with chunky ex-pop star Dane Bowers. You know what, he looks a bit like Peter Andre in a certain light, doesn’t he? The audience sing one of Dane’s hits to him, before he tells Davina that he and Alex Reid ‘get on quite well’.

He and Reid make a point of embracing each other – to knock those fight night rumours on the head. But what happened your head, Dane? Walk into a door? Or a cross-dressing cage fighter’s fist?

Heidi Fleiss

Yes, the notorious Hollywood madam (that’s fancy talk for prostitute, folks) is the next housemate to stay at Big Brother’s pleasure. A shifty looking, mousey female, she looks like she’s trying to hide behind her hair as she stands on the stage with Davina. She delivers her best line when she goes into the house, looks straight at Stephen Baldwin and says “I haven’t seen you in a while…” Cheeky! Davina later renames the show Celebrity Big Brothel.

Jonas Altberg AKA Basshunter

A guilty pleasure of mine Basshunters tunes and that brunette he insists on featuring in every one of his videos. There’s not much we can say about this guy, but the girls are going to love his chiseled features and rather tall build. Sisqo is already complaining about being the shortest one there. Verne Troyer syndrome and all that…

Katia Ivanova

Best known for her affair with that old guy from the Rolling Stones (Ronnie Wood). However, now she’s a free agent, she’s got some modelling deals from her affair and this nice bit of TV exposure. Who says ya need talent? She claims Ronnie is ‘still a friend’ (even after the “I feared Ronnie would kill me” headlines?) and doesn’t mind her being in the house.

Her first port of call upon entering the house is…having a pee.

Vinnie Jones

Big Vin, formerly a footballer, formerly a pop star (look it up), violent fella and Hollywood star. This one should be a lot of fun. I’ve always thought of Vinnie as the original Mitchell brother.

And after the break….Big Brother will be turning up the heat.  Much speculation as to what that all means…

How many celebrities can you fit in a mini?

Big Brother takes over, and invites the housemates to take part in an icebreaker task – to see how many housemates can fit inside a Mini. The blind screening off the garden rises, and there’s a red mini on the grass. They have five minutes to complete the task, and Big Brother warns of terrible consequences for whoever is not inside the car after five minutes.

Amazingly, they seem to have managed it! Getting out of the car seemed to be more of an issue for the housemates than getting in!

That’s our liveblogging finished for the night – drop us a comment and tell us what you think of this year’s celebrity line-up. And if you think you’ll like Alex Reid by the end of it…
