"Celebrity" Big Brother has graced our screens once more. The word Celebrity being sandwiched between HUGE quotation marks. But we must commend Channel4 for one thing. Managing to round up 10 celebrities willing to appear on their show. Name a British celebrity from the last 10 years and there's a 90% chance that they will have appeared on some kind of reality show.
This years "known" celebrities consist of Basshunter who is "famous" not only for his stupidly catchy dance tracks, but for his attempted production of his own porn film. Sisqo who is vividly remembered for having a number 3 hit with the tasteful Thong Song and Vinnie Jones who was reportedly coerced into signing on the dotted line, with a £500,000 pay check.
As the public enjoy drama, there was expected tension in the house between Dane Bowers and Alex Reid because of their apparent "dislike" towards each other and the issue of them having been involved with paparazzi favourite Katie Price.
But the only "celebrity" that is vaguely interesting is Heidi Fleiss. The reason being she's actually led a colourful life. She ran an extremely successful yet illegal prostitution ring in Hollywood, and reportedly had numerous famous, wealthy clients that she has, till this day refused to name.
Big Brother has rather a bad reputation and this is the main reason proper celebrities are reluctant to appear on the reality show. They aren't willing to risk destroying their careers, as so many celebs have previously done.
If you were to compare the above names with that of the first Celebrity Big Brother, they would all be labelled C-Lister's. The only difference being that back in 2001 the celebrities that where on the show were working for charity. This year the contestants are paid huge sums for, let’s face it, very little work. This of which Heidi Fleiss is very familiar with.
Watching human beings regress can be quite mesmerizing, but reality shows shouldn’t be confused with real drama. We’re not gaining any insight into people’s characters or discovering a truth about them or the world we live in. Instead we’re just left with the illusion that we have. Reality shows now occupy the space in the television schedule that should be filled with gripping, well-written drama. For that reason, the fact that this is the last series of Big Brother is a definite cause of celebration.
I(Chris) have always found Peter Andre bearable. He's a harmless bloke just trying to make a living and was badly treated in the recent break-up with Katie Price. He's obviously a great father and dealt with the divorce very well, which was admirable. He said from day one that he would never divulge details about the marriage and that's what made him so genuine.
and posted them on the net. I'm also an avid Radiohead fan. If you havn't heard the story of Radiohead v Myle Cyrus follow the link. Now for those of you who have been affected by her Dr Xavier style powers, i have a solution... Amanda Bynes. She's WAY hotter than our afore metioned celebrity", with decent chompers. Shes a little less "in your face" and she's legal! Shes also just done a photoshoot for february's Maxim, looking HOT! check the link. Ok, they've all been in their fair share of shit movies/shows and literally had
the same showbiz upbringing, but somewhere along the way Miley Cyrus took a shot of ego juice and never looked back. Don't hate but i've seen a little clip(the length of which was 117mins)of the musical remake Hairspray, where Amanda Bynes plays Penny Pingleton. She does a good job and as musical characters go, she was ok.

It was a thursday and i(chris) was bored youtubing, i came across a video spoof of Bob Ross created by robio007. It was ok. Then i decided to youtube Bob Ross himself, the guy was amazing. I remember when i was younger and had a sick day, i always without fail watched The Joy of Painting. His works of art where incredible and have never seen anyone do it with such ease. After i'd watched a few clips i decided to Google him. And was sad to find out that he'd passed away in 1995 of lymphoma, aged 52. I was devistated! The guy was a legend, not only was he a genius, with immense talent, but he also shared his tips and skills to other budding, upcoming artists. This is one, of very few serious blogs and thought i owed it to the man that for years had me mesmerized in front of the t.v. So heres to Bob Ross, good guy, great artist. A belated RIP.
Then the year 2006 rolled around and everything changed. You know what they say, when you get older your taste buds diminish and you crave spicy, bitter foods. Well her taste buds had a mare and developed a taste for cocaine and vagina! So i hear you ask "what does Lindsay Lohan do now??" well your guess is as good as mine, lets agree that she does fuck all. The last movie i saw her in was
changed her ways its been nothing but car accidents, DUIs and rehab. Which is great if your Pete Doherty but for the normal guy its turn-off.com. The reason i'm writing this is because im shocked; how someone could look so cute and sexy, turn 20 and look so.....average. Or maybe i'm just pissed she turned gay!!
