Celebrity Big Bother

Rocker didn’t get any sleep at all last night as he’s completely run down after the past few weeks and I hardly slept last night either. I hate not being able to help someone when they aren’t feeling themselves.

I plan to head up to bed at about ten tonight, have a hot soak and read my book, Glamorama by Bret Easton Ellis. It’s dead good, a sort of political thriller set in the world of fashion and film in the early nineties – so close to my own glamorous lifestyle it’s scary.

In effect though I’m sure we’ll sit up watching crap on the telly and stumble into bed an hour before we have to get up to go to work in the mines… Or something. But hey ho, at least tomorrow is Thursday and I haven’t had to work a full week. A two and a half day week is the way forward I think.

Last night’s Celebrity Big Brother was rather amusing. Jodie Marsh (for the uninitiated is the poor man’s Jordan who introduces herself as a stripper-stroke-author) was given (I think) rather sensible career advice by Michael Barrymore (disgraced former-darling of British TV) and Pete Burns (of ‘You Spin Me Right Round Baby Right Round like a record baby right round round round’ fame). Well, she did not like what they were trying to tell her one little bit so she burst into tears and threw a wobbler.

To be fair, I think they did mean well, perhaps Barrymore came on a little heavy handed but Pete’s softly softly approach was rather sweet. He asked her why she keeps making the same mistakes and not learning from them. (She’s forever slagging off Jordan, getting her wangers out and famously wore a t-shirt with all the names of the famous men she has done it with, with marks out of ten for their sexual prowess beside them).

Ooh I do like a bit of mindless Celebrity gossip to help me wind down! I think Jodie will be out first though as she received something like 8 nominations. Shame as I wanted it to transpire that she is actually a nice girl. Not so sure now.

The other contestants in the house are a member of Parliament (nicknamed Gorgeous George – who is friends with Saddam Hussein), a faux-Celeb and part-time Paris Hilton look-alike (Chantelle), a famous basketball player (Dennis Rodman), ex-Baywatch babe (Traci Bingham), glamorous veteran actress (Rula Lenska – we saw her on stage in the Vagina Monologues – she’s fabulous), a famous kiss-and-tell (Faria Something) and 2 boys from 2 bands (Maggot from Goldie Lookin’ Chain and Preston from the Ordinary Boys). So all in all an interesting bunch.

Note to self: get out more.
