I went through and collected the all the rumored names I could find for this January's "Celebrity Big Brother". (At least half every time end up being true) Verne Troyer (Mini Me) Paris Hilton David Irving (word is he has been denied now) Whitney Houston Bobby Brown Rapper Coolio Ian Wright Cliff Richard Amy Winehouse Lembit Opik and that's all I could find for now. Since it's just a couple months away, I bet more rumors will be popping up shortly.

Coolio was on Craig Ferguson last night. I have never paid attention to him before to know his personality, but now I think he would be great in the BB house after seeing this interview. If he does to the other HMs what he does to his kids, it would be hilarious. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqpQSM2mnRE

Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston!?! That would not be good. I'd like to see Cliff, but that's about all on that list. I hope most of them change.

I downloaded an episode of the TV show called "Extras" and I chopped out the part where Ricky Gervais' character (a struggling actor, Andy) goes on "Celebrity Big Brother". There are a couple parts I simply fell over laughing because they seemed so close to how the real show is!..LOL! http://www.zshare.net/video/512790614ab91c89/

"Mutya Buena" is the next name I just found to be on CBB. I never heard of her, but it says she is some kind of pop star. http://angryape.com/...

The next name out there is "Georgina Baillie", Russell Brand's ex girlfriend. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1090924/

Even though this article is about Blake Fielder (Amy Winehouse's hubby) asking to be on CBB, the last paragraph lists a few more rumored names I hadn't seen yet. Russel Grant Mark Lamarr Terry Christian LINK

I like both Mark Lamarr and Terry Christian. I think both are gainfully employed though, with regular shows, so I don't know if they could spare the time. Russel Grant might be fun. I agree about Georgina Baillie, and have also never heard of Mutya Buena.

I'm not exactly sure why it's a big deal, but some bed company named "Dreams" will be one of this year's sponsors. http://business.timesonline.co.uk/... Why is the sponsor a big deal? I noticed it was a big deal another sponsor pulled out recently.

I guess because they get so much advertising out of it, because the shows are watched by so many??? I've never heard of Dreams, so they're either a newish brand or grown big over the last few years. Odd that a bad making company would sponsor a show like BB, it doesn't seem like the bed-buying public are going to be BB's typical viewers!

I was thinking...Maybe Dreams will supplying all the beds for the house, too. It starts January 2, so I am going to start a countdown 22 days until CBB 2009! My favorite BB of them all!

I don't think this guy is a celebrity, but he's a contestant on BB11, and here's a preview. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVcIFoXtERQ

Dfennessey, no, it's not broadcast in the US. I download the shows from usenet, but others use torrents or wait for it to show up on youtube. I think there is still a website that will stream the shows live, but I haven't used it in so long that I can't find the link. Maybe someone passing by will know which site I mean.

I think nearer the time we'll know if anyone's streaming. Digital spy http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/bigbrother/ is a good source for info like that. I haven't decided whether to watch the Celeb version yet, as the "celebrities" are usually uninteresting to me, but if I'll post links to info if I see them. I always watch on youtube, some people post within a couple of hours now (or they did last season), and I don't mind the lower quality picture.

The latest Celeb name to pop up is "Sir Patrick Moore" and he is 85 years old. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/celebritybigbrother6/a138402/

I've met Patrick Moore. Well, when I say "met" him, I attended one of his lectures. I'm surprised he'd do this at his age, I know his mobility has decreased quite a lot, and I'd have thought he would have found many tasks difficult. Interesting to see him though. He has a good sense of humour. Seems like it's only five days... I thought it was usually two weeks. If it's just five days I'll probably watch it!

Kitt, what do you mean 5 days? The seasons I have watched of CBB were just about a month long. eta: here is the wiki entry for the 2007 one. It was 26 days. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebrity_Big_Brother_2007_(UK)

Kitt, come back, you just alarmed me. Where did you hear this "5 days thing"?

I'm probably completely wrong... I was looking at the DS forums the other day, so that's probably where I saw it! I'll check and see if I can find it and then see if it was from a reputable source!

OK, I found it, and misread it. There's a post about Paris Hilton being on for five days... but reading the following posts it seems that there was talk SHE would be on for only five days of the whole run. Sorry to have scared you! Had a quick look at the Ch4 page - George Lamb is back on BBLB but no mention of Zizi!
