Glad you're on the ball! You'll have to shout loudly when it starts, or I'll forget and miss it!

Here are some more names to pop up. I am disappointed because I never heard of any of them. Lucy Pinder Michelle Heaton Tina Malone Paula Hamilton Sherrie Hewson LINK I'm starting to think none of the U.S. known stars are going to be part of this thing this year.

I've heard of a few of them but most of them are just... not exactly full of substance. Still not sure if I'll watch, so far it doesn't sound like it will be that interesting. I guess in a week we'll know who's going in for sure.

Ulrika would be fun! I'm still not sure whether I'll watch, so far the rumours suggest there are too many people I don't know.

I'm happy if there are just 2 or 3 I know. 4 and I would be ecstastic Check out the new celebrity bath.
That's such a soaper idea ... Big Brother bosses have installed a luxurious new four-person bath in the hope it will encourage celebrity romance - so they don't have to pull the plug Link To original picture And another new name popped up today. "EIGHTIES pop icon Steve Strange" LINK

Good pics, thanks! I think from the wording of that article it was as much speculation as any other source. I'll probably watch the intro show and see what the people are like. So far it's too many girls. I guess we know for sure Thursday?? Or is it not until Friday?

For all of us time zone challenged people outside of the UK, when this clock says: "Fri, Jan 02, 2009 at 9:00:00 PM", the launch will be starting. http://free.timeanddate.com/clock/i1co6y54/n136/tt0/tw1/tm1

I've just watched a special Christmas episode of "Shooting Stars," which was a comedy game show type thing from about 15 years ago which had Ulrika Jonsson and Mark Lamarr as team leaders. Ulrika was on the special, but Mark wasn't... which makes me think Mark isn't on BB (he was an early rumour), because if he was he'd take the chance to up his profile a bit on a Christmas show. Hope I'm wrong though, as I always had a little crush on him!

Damn I really hope Lucy Pinder goes in the house. She's the only one Ive heard of and that was when Brian met her on one of the shows, probably little brother. She's a page 3 model. Pretty much THE page 3 model of recent years.

Has anyone heard any info as to whether or not they will be broadcasting the live feeds or streams? Article on DS/BB sio who knows how unreliable iot is... http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/celebritybigbrother6/a139284/cbb-bosses-ditch-24-hour-coverage.html

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/celebritybigbrother6/a139587/channel-4-explains-live-feed-reduction.html That link didn't work for me, but this link seems to explain it. Sounds like no live feed, only clips on the website. The "magic" Sky channel that people on DS kept talking about was probably linked to the red button, so I think no red button = no all day feeds. I presume if it's like previous shows, Ch4 or E4 will show the house here and there, but it's mostly overnight when they're boring and sleeping.

The rumor is that one of the first tasks will involve shocking the celebs-literally (shades of last year!) Flagg- Lucy Pinder probably isn't the best known P3 model- she's in the top 3 or so though (I'd say Keeley Hazell is the most well known right now)- and Lucy was more well known for NOT actually going fully topless until mid 2007 (I'm a bit of an Anglophile, so sue me- I do like Lucy though, I have a thing for brunettes)..she's said she wants some "girl-on-girl" action- I'd bet money it'd be with Ulrika (who's had a lot of controversy herself- she's had 4 kids by 4 different men for starters). This is Coolio's what, 5th or 6th reality show? Verne Troyer is gonna be...well, interesting... This is a nice little way to give some us a BB fix until BBUS starts in the summer (now that Australia isn't doing one)

Here's the list of housemates (from The Sun): Michael Jackson’s sister LA TOYA, 52, posed for Playboy in the 1980s and finally made the charts herself in 2003. MUTYA, 23, found stardom in 2001 with feisty trio Sugababes. She left in 2005 amid rumours of bitter in-fighting and has carved out a solo career. COOLIO, 45 — real name Artis Leon Ivey Jr — made his name with 1995 rap smash Gangsta’s Paradise from the film Dangerous Minds. The single father has become a reality TV star. Geordie MICHELLE, 28, got her big break on talent show Popstars. She wed Andy Scott-Lee, brother of Steps singer Lisa, but they have now split. Sexy LUCY, 26, is a centre-fold favourite and has appeared on Nuts TV’s Book at Bedtime reading from heavyweight novels while wearing lingerie. TINA, 45, plays potty-mouthed Mimi, the wife of gangster Paddy, in Channel 4’s award-winning comedy drama Shameless. Bisexual STEVE, 49, fronted New Romantic band Visage and won TV’s Celebrity Scissorhands in 2006. Gobby TERRY, 42, first appeared on telly in 1990 hosting C4 show The Word. He now presents a weekend show on BBC Radio Manchester. Swede ULRIKA, 41, was an ’80s weathergirl, a regular on TV’s Shooting Stars, had a fling with the then England soccer boss Sven Goran Eriksson and last year had her fourth child — by a fourth dad. Firebrand TOMMY, 44, sued over claims about his personal life — and as a result will appear on a perjury rap in the Scottish courts. Ex-choirboy BEN, 27, has embarked on a solo career after squeaky-clean boy band A1 split in 2002. They didn't have VERNE Troyer on the list, but he's in their picture.

Just quickly looking at DS, as the show has started, and they 11 celebs... that would mean either The Sun's list is wrong or Verne isn't in there despite the pics. Or someone at DS misquoted! 11 celebs, 22 days.

Latoya was first in, got booed by the crowd apparently. She claimed the only single bedroom in the house! Now Mutya and more boos/mixed. I hate these booing crowds, gotta hope by now the contestants know it doesn't mean anything.

Verne went in - apparently he and Latoya know each other - then Tommy Sheridan. Crowded loved Verne, booed Tommy.
