Celebrity Big Brother 5: Launch Night

Previous Winners
CBB1 - Jack Dee
CBB2 - Mark Owen
CBB3 - Bez
CBB4 - Chantelle Houghton

Once again there is a double bed which will have to be shared by at least 2 people. Bathroom's shrunk quite significantly it seems, as always no cameras covering the shower or crapper. Or locks. Lots of space in the bedroom and living room, dining table nicely gothic I think. Bridge to nowhere stays thankfully, provided some good watching in the summer. Workout area back, not much there really. There's a little printer/postbox in the house which will enable the viewers to ask questions to the housemates. Diary room remains unchanged from the summer. So lets get some people in there.

Housemate #1
Jermaine Jackson
Ex-member of the Jackson 5 and brother of Michael. Has servants and is very picky with them apparantly. Dear god he's going to be hilarious living without everyone doing stuff for him. He enters wearing a coat I'd certainly like, seems to have his brother's dress sense. Seems fairly at ease as he walks around inspecting the house.

Housemate #2
Danielle Lloyd
Girlfriend of Teddy Sheringham and ex-Miss Great Britain. Was stripped of her crown after her relationship with Teddy (a judge in the contest) was discovered. Is booed on her way in interestingly.

Housemate #3
Ken Russell
The most famous English film director according to him. Says he's fascinated by the program and was ecstatic when he got the call. His entering outfit is something that not even Noel would consider. Sings in the rain as he heads up to the stage. He is going to be hilarious. Says he relates most to Pete from last year. Seems quite drunk on excitement and adrenaline (or scotch).

Housemate #4
Jo 'O Mara
S CLUB!! HELLYEAH!! Says that being in the band was something she loved and hated. Is currently a dog breeder, now there's an interesting career progression. If I were to choose an S Club member to go in, she's not the one I'd choose (Hannah or Bradley) but any S Club is better than no S Club. Now if I could only remember to put all the S Club CDs I have onto my comp. Ken seems to have sobered up now.

Housemate #5
Leo Sayer
Oh come on, you really need me here?

Housemate #6
Shilpa Shetty
Bollywood actress, seems to be here to get known in the UK. On entry sports my second favourite piece of national dress (first being the Japanese Kimono or Yukata), the sari. While I don't reckon she'll pull out massive entertainment she'll certainly give the lads mags something to talk about.

Housemate #7
Carol Malone
A tabloid journalist notorious for her barbed words. Apparantly. I've never heard of her but I suppose that's because I never read newspapers. Doesn't like reality shows but is going in to rub it in her fellow journalist's faces. Doesn't like WAGs.

Housemate #8
Donny Tourette
Kiss goodbye to credibility. Lead singer for Towers Of London and full time twat. Was yelled at for throwing a cigarette butt at Gerard Way during a record shop signing that MCR were doing to promote The Black Parade. Their PR manager yelled at them to 'get your own publicity'. Apparantly that's exactly what he's doing. Massive booing on entry.

Housemate #9
Ian 'H' Watkins
Ex-member of Steps, describes the band as pure cheese. He's now a jobbing actor, doing it because he wants to show he's grown up from being that blonde knob in Steps. Recieves the sort of welcome Barrymore got last year. A few boos sneak in as he climbs the steps. Donny has on a face of pure thunder at the sight of him.

Housemate #10
Cleo Rokkos (I think)
Actress and friend of the legendary late Kenny Everett, loves playing characters so could be rather unpredictable in there. A few fans clearly dotted around the audience judging from the reaction.

Housemate #11
Dirk Benedict
I covered him in me rumours earlier, has appeared in Battlestar Galactica (both old and new) and most legendary in The A-Team. Enters in the old A-Team van which is a beautiful thing to see really, exits the van with sizable cigar in mouth. Even security seems to be in awe.

That's your lot. Russell Brand presents Big Brother's Big Mouth at 11pm on C4 and hopefully Dermot 'O Leary presents Little Brother on C4 at some point.
