Celebrity Big Brother Breakdowns
The annual spectacle of half a dozen washed-up celebrities
having nervous breakdowns in our living rooms is upon us again.
Yes folks Celebrity Big Brother is back with series four. This
year the House should be about as stable as a bottle of Nitro
Glycerene in Charlie Sheens' pants, with rumours that the likes
of Michael Barrymore, Boy George, Macauley Culkin and Anna
Nicole Smith will be setting up home together.
This years Celebrity Big Brother will be the fourth after it was
originally conceived as a fund raiser for Comic Relief in 2002.
The show was won by a rather grumpy and embarrassed Jack Dee who
actually staged a successful escape during the show. He still
refuses to be interviewed on the subject but it didn't do his
career any harm! Anyway the real drama came from the larger than
life presenter, Vanessa Feltz. Celebrity Big Brother proved very
good at spotting fading celebs who are on the verge of imploding
and to the eye-balls-glued-to-the-TV horror and delight of the
millions watching, Vanessa let nobody down and imploded with
some style.
This sort of on-screen celebrity unravelling was to set the
standard for the second and third Celebrity Big Brother series
and boy they haven't disappointed.
Series two saw former Take That singer and all-round nice guy,
Mark Owen, win it but the real interest was provided by the
marital angst of not-so-funny-man, Les Dennis. Poor ol' Les was
Celebrity Big Brother Two's imploding unravelling celebrity. It
seemed like he was the only one in the country who didn't know
Amanda was about to walk. Cringe!
Last year we were spoiled for spectacle. Celebrity Big Brother
excelled themselves when they managed to get the freak show that
was John McCririck, Brigitte Nielsen and Jackie Stallone, in the
same house. Will we ever forget the horror of McCririck (in full
frame) pulling a juicy bogey from his nostril and then greedily
lapping it up or his massive moody and being denied diet coke
(of all things!) by Big Brother! Or the horror on Brigitte's
face, when ex-mother in-law Jackie Stallone was introduced into
the Celebrity Big Brother pit. Fantastic. Baz from the Happy
Mondays walked off with the prize, upsetting the bookies
favourite child rapper, Blazin' Squads', Kenzie.
So on to this year and Celebrity Big Brother Four and if
Celebrity Big Brother were looking for a washed up fragile
celebrity who could spectacularly unravel, right down to his
DNA, before a hungry public, they can only have had one man at
the top of their list. Step forward Mr Michael Barrymore.
Yes folks the former multiple winner of the UK's Entertainer Of
The Year is rumoured to be going in to the Celebrity Big Brother
House (for a fee of
