VINNIE Jones has been offered $1MILLION to team up with his old footie rival Paul Gascoigne in Celebrity Big Brother.

The ex-Wimbledon hardman, now a movie star, was contacted by show producers with a lucrative offer to "keep an eye" on former England hero Gazza in a ratings-winning ploy for the BB house.

And Vinnie, famously photographed grasping Gazza's tackle when his Crazy Gang side played Newcastle in 1988, has told chiefs he will sign the £620,000 deal tonight.

A pal of Vinnie, 44, told The Sun: "He's been offered a massive chunk of cash.

"He was planning to take January off - but $1million for three weeks' work was difficult to turn down.

"He is filming again from February so the show fits in perfectly. He's laughing that he's the Million Dollar Man.

"It doesn't even sound like work to Vinnie if it means a chance of three weeks with Gazza. They go way back and still keep in touch."

Gazza, 42, has had a series of consultations with a psychologist to ensure he can cope with the pressure of the Channel 4 show.

The star, who also played for Lazio, Rangers and Spurs, has battled drink and drugs since hanging up his boots in 2004.

Meanwhile ex-bricklayer Vinnie has built up a fortune and moved to the Hollywood Hills after a string of roles in blockbusters including the third X-Men film.

The star - whose son Aaron is scheduled for a tour of duty in Afghanistan with the Household Cavalry in the New Year - is also expected to donate a percentage of his fee to Help for Heroes.

Others signed up to BB include Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss, Ronnie Wood's ex Ekaterina Ivanova and The Sun's original Page 3 Idol Nicola T.

i dont imagine for a second that either of them will go in, but if they did it would be brillaint, and would surely up the ratings!!!

i think if Endemol make this and the summer series a sucess, there will be interest from other channels to buy Big Brother and keep the show going. They're pulling out all the stops for this celeb series, the house looks amazing!!!

BOY George has insisted he's pleased he won't be going into the Celebrity Big Brother house.

The Eighties crooner was barred from appearing on the Channel 4 reality TV show as he is still on probation for assaulting and falsely imprisoning a rent boy.

And despite battling to have the ban lifted, the singer has now claimed the ruling is a relief.

He wrote on his Twitter page: "CBB would have been my worst mistake ever, I'm seriously happy not to be allowed on it!"

But there is one contestant he's disappointed not to be shacking up with - Vinnie Jones.

Describing the hard-nut ex footballer as "sexy", the gay pop star added: "Vinnie Jones might have been a laugh to spend a few days with, sexy!"

The Sun revealed today how Vinnie has been offered $1million to team up with his old footie rival Paul Gascoigne on the show.

But Boy George - real name George O'Dowd - may still get to meet the former sports aces.

Hinting producers have lined him up to make an appearance in the famous house, he said: "I still may do something on CBB, I just won't be in it!"

Stars said to be featuring in the show - which kicks off on January 3 - are Jordan's ex Alex Reid, Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss, Ronnie Wood's ex Ekaterina Ivanova and The Sun's original Page 3 Idol Nicola T.

CELEB Big Brother stars have shocked bosses with a list of diva *demands that includes their own butler.

The wannabes, who will step inside the house on Sunday, have asked for a string of *bizarre luxury items.

They include a mosquito net, 500 mini-candles, fresh flowers, cleaning wipes and even a dog.

But the stars, rumoured to include Alex Reid, 34, and Heidi Fleiss, 44, have also asked for a butler to serve them and a fridge full of champagne.

Ice queen Heidi left bosses bemused when she asked for a webcam so she could watch her birds.

She keeps a house full of macaws, cockatiels and parrots and hates being away from them.

A show source said: “We are used to some weird demands but this lot are more bonkers than usual.

“I think some of them believe it’s going to be a holiday camp.”

Cage-fighter Alex looks set for an early exit because he suffers badly from wind.

Show sources who met him for talks claim he could not stop “letting one off” during interviews.

An insider warned: “Alex thought it was funny. But if you’re stuck in a house with him and he’s doing it, it isn’t. They’re rancid.”


Also being lined up for the final CBB is Ronnie Wood’s ex-lover Ekaterina Ivanova, 21, Dane Bowers, 30, and Ivana Trump, 60.

BIG Brother bosses will be hitting the censor button after signing chart-topping DJ and Tourette’s Syndrome sufferer Basshunter.

The hunky Swede, who scored hits with Now You’re Gone and All I Ever Wanted, will be the second contestant with the condition.

Musician Pete Bennett, 27, won Big Brother in 2006 after viewers saw him shouting “w***ers” at fellow housemates.

Basshunter, real name Jonas Altberg, 25, was diagnosed with Tourette’s as a child and revealed in a recent interview that it led to him being picked on at school. Jonas said: “I did have a really rough time at school. There was a lot of bullying.

“I didn’t have many friends and spent a lot of time alone.

“I’ve learned how to take control over it.

‘“You could spend a week with me, 24/7 and not know I have it.

“I’ve learned how to feel when it’s coming and push it back. That took years of training.

“Don’t see it as a problem, see it as a challenge.” The star found himself in the spotlight for a very different reason a few years ago when snaps of him romping with an ex-girlfriend were posted on the internet.

But he’s not bothered. Jonas explained: “A friend sold them to the press but it doesn’t affect me at all because I’m not a shy guy. I love sex and I have a large willy.

“I have nothing to be ashamed of. In the Swedish newspapers, they compared me to Paris Hilton and Pamela Anderson because of that kind of porno attention they get, which I’m honoured about.

“They have 10 times bigger titties than I have, but I’m still in the same category.”

Jonas is a big success story in his native country after his 2008 single All I Ever Wanted made him the fastest-selling artist in Sweden since Abba.

Kate Price's boyfriend Alex Reid reportedly fought with her ex Dane Bowers at her fairytale themed New Year party.

The pair became embroiled in a war of words after Bowers, 30, accused Reid, 34, of cashing in on the former glamour model's fame.

Reid, who was dressed as a gladiator, became so enraged that he then threw a punch at the former boy-band singer, who was in a Zorro costume, according to The Mirror.

A spokesperson for Price confirmed that a brawl ensued, but insisted that the party was a success. A party guest said that the two men "were eyeballing each other" from the moment they first met.

"Dane called Katie a stupid b***h for letting Alex walk all over her and told everyone he had always been Katie's true love," the reveller said.

"That wound Alex up into a horrendous rage and he launched at Dane screaming, 'She's my girlfriend now, not yours'. They started scrapping on the floor in front of guests. It was like they were sparring for her love."

Police were not called to the incident, which took place at about 5am at Jordan's Surrey home.

Can't see them both going in there now!!!! But if they did, expect some drama!!!
