Former Big Brother housemate Stephanie McMichael has blasted other reality TV contestants who claim that they enter the shows for the experience rather than for the fame.

Steph was the first housemate to be evicted on last years series but has went on to make quite a large sun from ensuing magazine deals etc.

Speaking to Take 5 magazine, McMichael explained: “I can’t stand people who go on BB and say: ‘It’s not about the fame’. It is! If you don’t want to be famous, don’t go on reality TV.

Big Brother: Darnell used the n***** word too….but that’s ok!

darnell swallow

It seems as if this year, everyone is watching and waiting for the Celebrity Big Brother contestants to slip up in some major way.

The show took a years break after the 2007 series became renowned for the race row that kicked off between Jade Goody and Shilpa Shetty and now it’s back with all manner of checks balances and systems in place to ensure that a similar situation doesn’t rear it’s head again. However many people seem to want to censor the housemates and ban any sort of risque language or inappropriate topic.

Just this weekend the media was full of stories about Coolio using the N***** word and forums everywhere were buzzing with people wanting him evicted immediately or at least given a serious warning. Today Darnell Swallow, a contestant from the 2008 summer series has revealed that he used the word at least three times whilst in the house and faced no consequences from Big Brother.

Best Reality TV 2008

It is of course the final of Strictly Come Dancing tonight, and last week was the X Factor final, but which reality TV show has been your favourite this year?

There’ve been plenty to choose from, that’s for sure! Apart from Strictly and X Factor, we’ve had Big Brother and its spin off early in the year, Celebrity Hijack. There’s also been I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, Dancing On Ice, I’d Do Anything – which was about the search for three young actors to play Oliver in London’s West End – Britain’s Got Talent, The Apprentice and Celeb Air.

For me, my favourites have to be – rather predictably – Big Brother, X Factor and I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, in that order. I can pretty much take or leave the rest but those three were compulsive viewing for me, so let’s take a quick look back at some of the best bits from those three shows…

Big Brother: Rex Newmark In Bar Brawl!

Former Big Brother housemate, Rex Newmark, was reportedly involved in a fist fight last weekend in a soho nightclub.

A fellow clubber named Kelly O’Brien told The Daily Star: “I was scared. He turned into an animal,” she said. “There was a group of five nice guys nearby, who we had been enjoying a friendly conversation with before Rex came along.

“Once Rex realised we weren’t interested in him, he just went over and started punching one of them.

“He flipped. I don’t know where Rex had been earlier, but he seemed pretty drunk… He caught one of the guys, whose name was John, between the eyes and blood started pouring out.”

O’Brien described the executive chef as “arrogant and obnoxious”.

“My top was a little low-cut and Rex said: ‘I see you have your t*ts out tonight’,” she commented. “I was insulted and replied: ‘You’re gross.’

Big Brother’s Sylvia To Audition For X Factor

If there was ever an unlikeable Big Brother housemate then Sylvia Barrie is her. It’s gutting to realise then that we might not have yet seen the last of her and that she intends to audition for X Factor next year.

Sylvia told The Daily Star:

“I’m not scared of Simon, I’m sure that I can win him over with my voice.

“I’m not worried about the others, either. I’ll just tell Cheryl how much I love Girls Aloud and tell Dannii I think she’s gorgeous.

“Music is my life. It is all I really want to do and if things don’t happen for me in the next few months then I will try out for The X Factor next year. Read more & comment »

Big Brother: Listen To Stephanie McMichael’s Single ‘Camera Shy’

We heard last week that Big Brother reject, Stephanie McMichael was releasing a single called ‘Camera Shy’. Now, maybe I was being silly but given that Steph got through to the final rounds of Pop Idol all those years ago, I kind of hoped that she might actually have some musical talent.

I’ve listened to the song above and I hold my hands up and admit that I was wrong. It is awful, boring, and even worse than any song Victoria Beckham could inflict on us!

So what do you think? Do you hate it as much as I do? Leave you comments below.

A spy at the bash told the newspaper: “All Sara could talk about all night was Stuart. She is still obsessed with him and has made it clear she’s going to make a huge play for him and do whatever it takes to get him. Read more & comment »

Big Brother Housemates, What Happened Next: A Review

Being a big fan of BB and a generally quite nosey person, I was really looking forward to getting this extra bit of BB footage, but it was actually a pretty pants programme and I was quite disappointed that I turned over from Sky Arts’ evening of Johnny Cash documentaries to watch it.

Lee kern hosted the hour long Channel 4 look at what the BB9 housemates have been getting up to since they left the famed compound and frankly, other than Lee’s very funny one liners and oddly monotonous-amusing voice, it was deathly dull. Read more & comment »
