Celebs go to a jungle that is not on fire: I’m a Celebrity get me out of here 2008!

Willie Thorn? Robt Kilroy Silk? Dani Behr? Pat Cash? Him out of Five?

Can it be?

Esther Rantzen? Georgina Baillie + Russell Brand/Jonathan Ross? Peter Duncan? Jimmy Pursey? Who cares! (eh, me, probably)

lol this nonsense was (is?) filmed near my home town

Nicked from a Sun article:

Brian Paddick
Martina Navratilova
Joe Swash (Eastenders: was totally lost on Family Fortunes, presumably the 'dumb bloke everyone takes to their heart because he looked cute when he was 13 etc..)
Robert Kilroy-Silk
Simon Webbe
Dani Behr
Candice Bergen
Willie Thorne
Some other people.

There are reports that a 'big name' has dropped out though.

brian paddick??

dude.

Pursey's "dropped out" but it's not entirely clear whether he was "dropped in" to begin with.

why is m-nav degrading herself like this :(

Jimmy Pursey? (srs q)

I doubt Paddick is in there seeing as he's been popping up in the Jean Charles de Menezes trial.

It was in yesterday's London Lite - supposedly JP was signed up for the show but dropped out when he learned he was expected to be this year's Punk Stirrer-Upper a la Lydon and said that he just wanted to "have fun."

And so give up a career seeling butter-related products? The man's crazy.

Selling.

'expected' pssh!

Contestants do what they want to do! It's not like they gete secret instructions, "Jimmy Pursey, poke Esther Ranzen with a stick and say it was Willie Thorne"....

Or maybe that's this year's twist?

Just realised I confused Candice Bergen with Corbin Bernsen. Again.

As long as you don't get her mixed up with Colin Blunstone.

Well, I don't believe in miracles.

*coat*

*ta*

Since when has Candice Bergen meant absolutely anything ever in the UK? Will Penelope Keith be doing Dancing With The Stars now to balance this out?

She means something to me and the three other people who watch Boston legal.

Anyway I think it's supposed to be Candice Bushnell, which seems just as odd.

Lord forbid they get her mixed up with Garry Bushell.

Mail says that Dollar singer David Van Day is on stand-by! Imagine the excitement.

What a bunch of losers. Can't wait to see Esther Rantzen first thing in the morning. Last year was the best - lovely Biggins.

We shall not see his like again.

Biggins has now risen to the dizzy media heights of co-presenting BBC Radio London's Sunday mid-morning show with former Birds Of A Feather star Lesley Joseph. They tend to concentrate on your gardening needs.

OK. we're on:

Brian Paddick - WTF?
Carly Zucker (Mrs Joe Cole)
Dani Behr
Esther Rantzen
George Takei (!!!)
Joe Swash
Martina Navratilova
Nicola McLean (no, me neither. She's a model, apparently)
Robert Kilroy-Silk (there's your hateful bastard for humiliating in every task right there)
Simon Webbe

Resoundingly meh.

You missed "Model Nicola McLean".
So there's your one with her tits out at every opportunity.

Well, her and Esther Rantzen.

Oh, I see you didn;t miss Model Nicola McLean - sorry just got up - sleep in my eyes, etc...

Hello all, * OFF TO THE JUNGLE! WOO HOO! ** I'm becoming a jungle babe and will be taking part in the ITV TV show, I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! - so I won't be able to check this page because I'll be in the jungle in Australia. Please, please, PLEASE vote to keep me on the show and vote for me to do any Bushtucker Trials, as I want to do them all and become the jungle queen! Thank you. MY DETAILS: I'm the feisty, outspoken, funny (even if I do say so myself) glamour model, TV star and WAG Nicola McLean. I'm one of the UK's most successful Page 3 girls EVER, having appeared on Page 3 in The Sun and The Daily Star almost every week for around 5 years - notching up around 300 appearances in total. In a readers voting poll in The Sun 2005, I came 4th in the 'Best Page 3 Girl Of All Time' poll, beating the likes of Michelle Marsh, Leilani, Jo Hicks, Sam Fox and even Jordan akak Katie Price. As well as doing Page 3, I've appeared on the cover of several lads' magazines such as Zoo, Loaded, Front & Ice and have done lots of TV shows too. I stopped posing for Page 3 in 2006, after falling pregnant with my wonderful son Rocky (who is now -years-old). Rocky's dad is Peterborough United footballer Tommy Williams (yes I'm a WAG!) and we've been together for over 4 years now. I decided to return to modelling, TV work and acting once again in early 2008 after being asked to feature as a main star in the Channel Five TV documentary, Help! I've Got A High Maintenance Wife. Since then, I've gone on to star in the TV show, 'WAGS' World... With Nicola McLean' on Wedding TV and Channel Five's Generation Sex (airs in November 2008) and then will be starring in the popular TV show I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! in Nov/December 2008.. I've appeared on the front cover and centre pages of the Daily Star newspaper so, so, so many times this year, since I've made my comeback. It's really nice to be so popular with the public! ** LATEST NEWS ON NICOLA *** I'm off to Australia so that I won't be coming online until I return to the UK. My manager will be checking my page, so do leave messages for me if you want to and she'll pass them on to me.. PLEASE VOTE FOR ME IN THE JUNGLE TO WIN JUNGLE QUEEN!! I will also be launching my official 2009 calendar in November 2008. It will be my first-ever calendar and I'm soooo excited. I'll also be launching my official website VERY SOON. ******************************************************* I hope you like looking at my photos on here. If you want to see more pics or find out more about my career, visit my management's website - www.intriguemanagement.com Thanks for all of your support. It's always appreciated. Love Nicola x ---

Did she mention she's a WAG by the way?

"akak"?

as in "Jordan a kak Katie Price"?

Her greatest fear is not wearing make-up, as her footballer fiance has never seen her without it, 'even during childbirth', she says.

But enough about her guess which celeb said this before heading out to the jungle...

...I like challenges and from what I hear this is a survival in a rain forest programme. I am willing to boldly go. I think it is going to be good fun—a trip to Australia and a rain forest...

not guessing;too obvious

I think he gets a residual for the split infinitive.

News just in: David Van Day still a wanker...

The headline "Timmy Mallett held captive" made me laugh earlier though. He seemed infinitely more relaxed and likeable than Mr van Day.

^^^I now retract my earlier statement. Is that laugh for real? It's very grating - I found myself agreeing with Kilroy for the first time ever.

My 10 year old son however wants it to be known that he likes him, thinks he's funny and thinks everyone is picking on him and taking it too seriously.

Your son is too young to have sat through Wacaday. Show him some clips on YouTube and he'll soon change his mind.

...now he's more "sad man in his jungle", although it's nice to see that he's finally grasped the idea that saying "utterly" is likely to wind people up.

hmm....

Nicola seems to think..

actually, strike that.

I'm going to take back what I said about "sad man in his jungle", etc.. Last night's was appalling...
Mallett: "I'm wearing two pairs of pants!!! Let me show you!!!"
Ant OR Dec: "Er, yeah, no thanks mate..."
(director in gallery cuts to overhead shot)

Mistah Kuntz - he dead

Silk first out.

Nicola is not hateworthy, but not easy to like. Unlikeable. That's the word.

The jungle wasn't big enough for Bob AND Brian.

David Van Day in the 'phone booth to what base uses are former New Pop avatars come &c.

He was quite good though, it has to be admitted.

Interesting that Ant and Dec should sneer about Blue and Dollar having three number one hits between them (all of which were achieved by Blue) and totally forget the number one that Timmy had.

People in glass houses... Ant & Dec's chart career is hardly stellar

I think it's going to be either Esther, George, or Martina to win.
Second place will be someone the public likes to watch eat insects, either because of their reaction, or because the public hate them. So it's obviously David Van Day because he fulfils both criteria.
Third place will be whoever teenage girls vote for, so probably Simon Webbe, but maybe Joe Swash.
Brian will probably win the most number of trials/battles, but he's too dull. Similar thing with Dani.
Mallett is not being irritating enough to secure that vital "you're a twunt but I'm going to vote for you because I wanna see you eat cockroaches..." vote. I think that was Silk's problem - the public thought he'd be a wanker and he turned out (in camp if not in politics) to be reasonable.
Nicola and Carly are more or less invisible unless they're complaining about something, so no interest in keeping either of them in. In fact I'd say that either of them is likely to be voted of next.

Actually, it aint too shabby: I'd settle for it...

I prefer to think of their discography as exemplifying the "throw enough shite at a wall" strategy.

hang on, just realised who Brian reminds me of...
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/04/Rimmer1.jpg/250px-Rimmer1.jpg

Dani gone, Carly gone, Mallett went after a drink-off with Paddick and, last night, Esther gone.

David Van Day's pigheaded sandbox of a tormented soul is almost becoming admirable.

And still, Nicole gets a free pass because "lads phone in for boobs" ?

I mean Esther's "I didn't present a consumer programme for 21 years" rant (true enough, Est; you nicked the programme from Bernard Braden) was irritating as were Mallett's howls but neither irritate me as much as Nicole's ceaseless whining.

David Van Day is just an insufferable cock. Playing up to his niche role as "irritating celebrity who you want to slap" like he's done on many a reality show before.

Hopefully there'll be a repeat of that Blood On The Floor episode about Dollar/Bucks Fizz to celebrate his return to TV.

Is Thereza looking after his van while he's away then?

what is this i hear about m-nav standing up to the annoying van day bloke? (i haven't watched ANY of it, how is m-nav doing generally?)

MNav getting lots of respect for her place in history, and also for not being a totally mental competitive freakout but actually being supportive and friendly.

Quite possibly a winner, and deservedly so.

(xpost) I think it basically boils down to this:

DVD: "I want you to do this"
MNav: "No."
DVD: <insert of fat sweaty man building up to a toddler tantrum> "I want I want I want..."
MNav: "No."

This isn't really the kind of show where there are big personality clashes and fights. I guess as it's only three weeks there's not the time to build up a real resentment. And the show doesn't have the same kind of desperate celebs as Celebrity Big Brother. Having said that, a big row between Brian and DVD, where Brian shows he actually has a pair, might see him through to the final three.

<insert sound of

Really it's her calmness in the face of someone that most of us would happily beat with sticks.

Nicola gone, to the sound of her verbal disgust at not beating DVD.

Apparently, one paper has him favourite to win. Of course,that would make him unbearable!

No, it'll be lovable cheeky cockney Rosie Swash.

I actually think that this year might be a year when someone the public hates doesn't get into the final three. I had thought that it would be George OR Martina, Joe OR Simon, and DVD, for the final. But after Simon and Joe both pulled off trials that were frankly "ohhhhh shiiiiit" just to watch, it could be George OR Martina, Joe, and Simon.

So Joe won then by being cheerful and kissing everyone a lot. Expect to see him in an Iceland advert any time soon.

Martina airbrushing Kerry Katona from history was good.

Some of the "party food" they were advertising looked grimmer than the Bush Tucker Trials. Looking forward to Joe's "urrrgh!" face as he swallows a manky "king prawn spoon".
