Brekkie Boy Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 And no I'm not joking! Unfortunately for you, it's Celebrity Big Brother UK that's set to sign them up - lucky for me then! Anna Nicole Smith has long been rumoured for the show, with Home Alone star Maculney Culkin rumoured to be joining her for up to three weeks in the Big Brother house. The latest rumour is veteran comedian Joan Rivers will also be moving in. Basketball star Dennis Rodman has also been rumoured. Considering we can get a pretty decent line-up of D-list US celebs for the UK celebrity editions, it's a shame CBS don't consider a US Celebrity special. The celebrity editions don't replace the regular seasons - they air in addition to them for a couple of weeks and ease the fans through their nine-month break from the regular series.

Francis_3 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I thought the US version was called the Surreal Real Life. YUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Unfortunately" -- actually I think we are quite fortunate not to have it air in the US. Of course, if the UK ever wants to get even with us for sending Madonna and fake British accent there, they will make sure it turns up on UPN or some other syndicated television channel.

Saw something on CBS yesterday confirming that Mcauley Culkin has signed on for sure. Do they not offer 24/7 live feeds for the BBUK series? I couldn't find anything about this on the net. This show's only 3 weeks long . . . just a little bit longer than the wait til American Idol, so live feeds would be cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brekkie Boy Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 I follow other versions through their websites and fansites, but don't really watch whole episodes (I'm still on Dial-Up), though I do watch clips where I can (that's why I love Morty's).

Brekkie Boy Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 I joked about this last week with the rumoured US celebs for the UK Celebrity version - but now AOL are reporting that CBS will announce the line-up for their own Celebrity Big Brother next week. Meanwhile, CBS is expected to announce the next cast of 'Survivor,' and the cast of the first celebrity edition of 'Big Brother,' at some time next week. http://tmz.aol.com/article2?id=20060106131209990001 (second paragraph from bottom) This should be interesting - perhaps the likes of Maculney Culkin and Anna Nicole Smith, who were strongly rumoured for the UK version, will turn up here. Also be interesting to see how they do it - the celeb version here in the UK is done over just a couple of weeks (23 days this year, the longest so far) with evictions every few days. I would predict the show will follow it's usual three shows a week pattern, but with an eviction every episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelo Joe Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Cool! Thanks for the news, Brekkie! I, too, wonder if it will be the summer version, or if it will be a shortened version like the one you guys are having over in the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Shockalot Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Here is the interesting... and frustrating thing about this - its explains why I have been getting 'tips' and 'rumours' for almost a year now on a 'Celebrity Big Brother USA' and yet nobody has actually confirmed this from an official CBS source. The Simple answer is that there hasn't been a definitive plan for his all along. CBS did indeed try and pull off a BBUSA 'All Stars' for BB6 and there is no doubt anymore that (at least on paper) an Amazing Race: Big Brother Alum was in the works. Now I have also heard that this idea was dumped in favour of a US version of the BBUK 'Celebrity Edition' which Im told will not be 'BB7' but something of a shortened 'Winter Season' special Edition. Simply Celebrity BB1. 6 Weeks. Again, not getting any real 'Official' releases or finding any so hopefully Morty has some solid 'insider' confirmation on this??

Guest ranster627 Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 a mini BB .... oh no ... two in one year ... not sure I can survive it ... if they have the celebrity one and it doesn't interefere with the real thing I will be there ...

CeCiMom Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 It will be interesting to see if this is a "true" celebrity rumor OR the former houseguests have been deemed "celebrities" when in fact this season will be what we would refer to as an "all-stars" reunion season.

nebartist Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I wonder how they will react to live feeds. Will they even have live feeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerSnaps Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Let's just hope that the Brady boy, Anna Nicole Smith, Tammy-Faye racoon eyes and the wash-ups from Next Model all have something better to do. I just may pass on watching it anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yana Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 OK from what I have been able to find out this is the deal with US Celeb BB... The show will not have past house guests on it... It will in fact be people, as Ginger put it so well, the Brady boy, Anna Nicole Smith, Tammy-Faye racoon eyes and the wash-ups from Next Model... It's supposed to be a tamer version of the Surreal Life in a way... I don't know about the live feeds, but I will try to find out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappysucks Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Don't we have the Surreal Life already? The big difference is live feeds, and if they have 'em the 'celebrities' (we all know they will be wash-ups) won't behave 'real.' And if the don't have live feeds - what's the point? Just give me my good, old fashioned, real people without agents BB! Please? Please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerSnaps Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 This is all so disturbing. They are ruining the whole premise of the game. Why don't those casting agents just go into supermarkets, restaurants and pharmacies and ask people if they want to be on the show. That will elimnate the actor wanna be's and any one else who thinks they may actually have a chance on television. P.S. Who the hell wants to see some Amazonian like swedish woman prancing around half nude anyway...geesh ----live feeds will never be the same again.

Well, now Ginger I wouldn't go that far - at least where that Swedish woman is concerned! We can totally agree on the rest of the above - let's just get back the 'regular' guys and gals. They can be just as outlandish if you cast right - and less fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sorrrrrrrrrrryyyy, didn't know that the Swede was that hot! Well Sly Stallone thought so anyway. How bout this for a cast: Crappysucks, Sparklet, Gingersnaps, Fizzle, Spikes, Shockie, Neb and Orion, Yana, Flo, King of Reality and the professor and Maryann (Ha Ha Ha) Ohhhh.....I think it would be superb reality show t.v.

spikes_luv Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Please say it isn't so! I don't want to see some washed-up actors hamming it up for the cameras. Let's get back to the original idea, CBS. At least if they are "celebrities", as they choose to call them, maybe that WILL mean it will be an abbreviated version. As long as they have the REAL BB on as well, it's okay with me - but if they trump it for this "celebrity" crap - that would be a big mistake!

fizzle Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 i find this idea very digusting. i got a glimps of that britney spears and kevin show when it was aired and it was very disturbing. nothing would be real. they would all be hamming it up for the cameras. not to mention they wouldnt be able to get the celebs that anyone wants. i might change my mind if they had a ferret for a pet.
