“You might be wondering why you should be taking dating advice from a gay man rather than listening to your girlfriends. Your girlfriends are great. They’ll make you feel better and tell you that it’s not your fault you haven’t got a man,” Gerry wrote in a piece for the Daily Mail. Read more & comment »
David Walliams seems to have taken a shine to the pinkest twins in town, Sam and Amanda Marchant.
The pair became famous (?) during last summer’s series of Big Brother, and now it is rumoured that Walliams has offered them a joint role in the hit BBC comedy Little Britain.
Walliams is said to have seen the girls doing a Vicki Pollard impression at a recent awards bash, and was so impressed that he promised to get them into at least one episode of the next Little Britian series.
It has been revealed this week that Channel 4 made this years Big Brother 8 dull on purpose. The series was the least watched yet, there were very few fights, next to no explosive personalities and only one lapdancer (I refuse to count Shanessa).
But Tim Hincks, creative director of producers Endemol told the Sun newspaper that after the fiasco that was Celebrity Big Brother 2007, Channel 4 and the shows makers decided to play it safe this summer.
Hincks said: “It’s been on the front pages since January — and there’s no doubt that’s had an effect, as no show benefits from over-exposure. Read more & comment »
They’ve spent their summer inside Britain’s most famous house, but what happens when they return to the outside world? Big Brother: What the Housemates Did Next follows the housemates as they leave the house and adjust to life away from the Diary Room, tasks and communal showers. The cameras follow the evicted housemates as they return home, plus viewers see the incredible journey of this year’s winner.
Former Big Brother housemates, Chanelle and Ziggy have reportedly had sex for the first time outside the Big Brother house.
Chanelle, 19, said: “It was magical. But we kept thinking someone was going to interrupt us and call us into the Diary Room.”
Ziggy chirped: “We had an amazing night. And we didn’t get much sleep. Being trapped in the Big Brother house, I was like a caged animal busting to get out. We didn’t get to sleep until after 3am. We want to give this a go.”
Have you ever seen a couple more hungry for a magazine deal? Chiggy would give Peter and Jordan a run for their money!
Yesterday we reported that Channel 4 bosses were considering axing Big Brother due to bad ratings and lack of interest in the show.
However, Channel 4 programmes chief Julian Bellamy has revealed that the show will continue, he said it’s still popular with teens and those in their 20s - main targets for advertisers - and other shows rely on it for revenue.
If this is true, then Channel 4 certainly need to reinvigorate the show in some major way. Has anyone any ideas out there?
Rumours are rife that Channel 4 bosses are considering axing Big Brother, or at least giving it a one year break, after the dire ratings acheived by this years series.
The Sunday Mirror has today reported that with less than three million people tuning into some of the nightly highlight shows on Channel 4, BB bosses are going to have to come up with a radical way to improve the show, or else pull it altogether.
“Everyone has been frantic with worry about the way it has gone,” a show insider told the paper.
“The most drastic plan is getting rid of the next series - but only for a year, as they hope the show will come back stronger. It would mean the end of an era in a sense, but might just save Big Brother.”
Celebrity Big Brother has already been axed from the 2008 schedules and will return in 2009.
So let us know your views. Should Channel 4 axe BB, or would you be devastated without your yearly dose? Comments below as always!

“Record companies have been contacting us asking to pass on their numbers,” a show insider told the paper. “They are fighting over Samanda.”
“A couple of them have had the same idea of getting Brian on board as well. It would be a total car crash but it would do brilliantly with their fans.”
