What will they think of next? The latest on the rumour mill is Stephen Hawkings has been approached to appear in January’s Celebrity Big Brother. Keep in mind, this is reported in the Sun, so take this news with a grain of salt. Accordingly Stephen was offered a ’substantial fee’ to appear on the show.

Now serioulsy, does anyone think Celebrity Big Brother holds any interest for him? A source told the Sun, “He thought it was very funny. He gets wacky offers all the time and is always turning stuff down. He has a good sense of humour and might find being in the house amusing for a bit. But he would end up bored rigid.â€?

To be honest, if Stephen Hawkings was in the Big Brother house, I know many people would be bored rigid.
