8.30pm - Film director Ken Russell, 80, enters the house, serenading the crowd with a bizarre rendition of Singing in the Rain and a stream of bad language. Appears confused and disorientated.

8.40pm - Former S Club 7 singer Jo O'Meara is the fourth housemate to arrive.

Nine single beds and one double can only mean one thing. Two celebrities are going to be cosying up, and possibly spooning. And tonight it's Jo and Donny.
Sometimes being quick to do things in the Big Brother House pays off and when it comes to choosing beds, speed is paramount. When Big Brother announced that the bedroom door was open, Ex-S Clubber Jo was the slowest off the mark and the last to claim a bed, much to her distress.
It didn't take long for the housemates to start speculating about the sleeping arrangements and no one seemed keen to be stuck near rocker Donny: "Please make sure Donny is not near me in the bedroom," Danielle fretted. "He's crazy...I dunno what he's gonna do next!"
But when it was time for the bed choosing to commence, Donny sat on the kitchen counter while his fellow housemates made a dash to claim their pit. Jo was just too slow and missed out on all of the single beds: "I'm not sleeping on the double bed...why did that happen to me?" she moaned.
"It's a double bed for a single person..." Cleo said helpfully, before realising, "...no, Donny is missing..."
Screwing her face up, Jo grumbled: "I am not sleeping with Donny, absolutely not...I would rather sleep on the floor!"
Celebrity or not, this is Big Brother and beggars most certainly can't be choosers...
Day 1, 23:36
Ken produces quite a sight for sore eyes...
Communal living is a bit of a problem for some of the housemates, but not for Ken. He stripped off, bent over and Danielle saw the...er, lot.
It may well have been their first night in the Big Brother House, but the housemates were out of their entrance clobber and in to their PJ's in no time. And while Leo and Jo put their jim jams on discreetly, Ken decided to let it all hang out.
Jo, Jermaine and Donny were chatting in the lounge, when a giggling Danielle burst in and interrupted with a news-flash: "Listen to this...Ken just got changed...I was facing the room and he took his underpants off and bent over..." Cringing, she finished: "...meat and two veg between his legs and I've seen it!"
"No way!" Jo gasped. "It's gonna give me nightmares for rest of my life, I can't even look at him now," Danielle grimaced. Standing up she started to demonstrate Ken's bold move: "He went like this," she said, bending, "Maybe he wanted me to see it..."
Looking at Ken in the bedroom, Donny told her: "He (Ken) just winked at me. He knew you were telling me a story."
"Did he?" Danielle smiled, "Dirty b*****!"
A starkers Ken Russell? Well, you certainly don't see that everyday...
Nor would i want to Luna it would really put me of my breakfast! I bet it is one of the 'highlights' tonight, i can hardly contain my excitement :lol:
Day 2, 00:19
It hasn't taken Big Brother long to put its foot down.
After launching himself into the pool, staggering from sofa to sofa and pulling that confused face you only find in pubs after 11pm, Donny's first night in the House so far has been pretty eventful.
But now he's not best pleased. After opening his suitcase Donny discovered that Big Bro had snaffled his secret stash, in accordance with the rules. And because it can.
Donny wasn't going to take this full stop on his fun lightly. Thudding down in the Diary Room chair Donny waited for Big Bro.
"Hello. Helloo?" he called out.
"Hello Donny," came the eventual reply.
"Hey listen. I just got my suitcase and I packed two bottles of red wine," he explained. Red wine? Surely that should have been snakebite and black?
"And I've opened it and it's not in there. What's going down?"
"Big Brother supplies alcohol at Big Brother's discretion," came back the Big man. "As housemates got alcohol this evening Big Brother won't be providing any more."
"I wasn't asking Big Brother to supply any alcohol," replied Donny. "I was supplying my own. So you've taken it?"
"That's correct," confirmed BB.
"Right, nice one lads. Good job," said Donny, leaving.
Coming into the bedroom, Donny couldn't be put off the scent. "Anyone got any booze?" he ventured, hopefully.
"No," said Jo, shaking her head.
"You're on your own matey," said Leo. A lone wolf in the House already? Who'd have thought it..
Day 2, 03:34
It's a restless night for at least one housemate.
Jetlagged, restless and sharing his pit with Donny, Leo can't sleep. So in a bid to stave off his first-night insomnia, Leo heads for the Diary Room for a late-night chat with Big Bro.
Gallant Leo stepped into the breach to save Jo the first-night blushes of having to share a bed with Donny. Leo offered to share a bed with the rocker so Jo didn't have to, but he was soon regretting it.
"I can't sleep," he announced to Big B. "I've got a naked man in my bed. It makes it difficult. I'm not used to it in my daily activities. I'd love to be in my own bed, but the look on poor Jo's face was so sad."
Story continues below
"Donny's alright, he's a pussycat. But seeing him sprawled out in the bed stark naked isn't a very good prospect."
"Are you regretting it?" asked Big Brother sympathetically.
"No, I think it's a good decision. But when you get a young naked rock Adonis in your bed, it isn't good."
Looking hopeful, Leo looked up. "Can I sleep here? The silence is great," he asked, waiting for Big Bro to
inevitably turn down his request.
"Have you got one word to describe how you're feeling?" asked BB.
"Knackered," laughed Leo. "Ken snores. There's this endless buzzing from dear Ken, but what can you do? Oh, and Donny chats in his sleep. It's a very strange thing, a naked man talking to himself in your bed. It doesn't annoy me, but it's not a very inviting prospect."
We predict 'pyjamas for Donny' as a Diary Room request later on...

I like H. H TO WIN!!:cheer:
I only know H and Jo. Oh and Leo Sayer. the rest are an odd mix to say the least. Should be eventful.
I aint being funny but when that indian bit came on the screen did anyone think of ananya at all?
I sure did and Im gonna vote for her I know first hand how it feels to be a bollywood princess who is an international star outside the uk trapped inside the big brother house :rotfl:
honestly she isnt a patch on ananya
Im going with Jo to win so far!! so far hating danielle,jermaine and the old boy who sings in the rain
Cant stand that Donny although he has a very innovative way of making fans,I predict he is the first Big brother contestant to get killed off instead of voted off?
Its very hard to like H after his stint in steps If you disagree watch the steps music videos they go beyond cheese!but he seemed like a nice enough person and even ripped it out of himself
I cant see this being the best series ever I cant see a romance gonna happen,I can see several people walking I can see lots of arguements and comedy and I can see lots of jermaine jackson saying 5000 times "that he loves london".
how corny was the A team entrance and when Face said 'B.A Ill see you soon' I wanted to throw up
so far not impressed and am totally wathching soapstar superstar to help out the In the City actors
I disagree, i still watch my old Steps tapes and still love them as much as i ever did but thats my opinion i know there are not many people who will agree with me :rotfl:Quote:

The launch of Channel 4's Celebrity Big Brother series proved a hit, attracting 7.1 million viewers.
The early figures were the second best for any of the five series launches, with viewing peaking at eight million and a 32% audience share.
The second episode of BBC duet talent show Just the Two of Us saw its viewers fall from 5.4 to 3.9 million.
Bookmaker Ladbrokes has former S Club singer Jo O'Meara and singer Leo Sayer as joint favourites to win Big Brother.
Former A-Team member Dirk Benedict, who predicted the experience would be a "nightmare", is joint third favourite.
Channel 4 also launched the third series of Desperate Housewives on Wednesday, screening two episodes back-to-back.
OPENING ODDS
Jo O'Meara 5/1
Leo Sayer 5/1
Dirk Benedict 6/1
Ian "H" Watkins 6/1
Cleo Rocos 8/1
Ken Russell 12/1
Shilpa Shetty 12/1
Donny Tourette 16/1
Danielle Lloyd 20/1
Jermaine Jackson 20/1
Carol Malone 25/1
Source: Ladbrokes
The first instalment was watched by 3.6 million, which fell to 2.8 million for the second episode at 2230 GMT.
A Channel 4 spokesman said: "We are delighted that both shows, scheduled together as a post-holiday treat for Channel 4 viewers, were so warmly welcomed by TV audiences to give us a fantastic start to 2007."
Film director Ken Russell made a spectacular entrance to Celebrity Big Brother, dressed in a garish waistcoat and bellowing out a rendition of Singing in the Rain.
The 79-year-old, who said he was a "huge fan" of the show, needed assistance to walk down the steps into the house.
Benedict, who also starred in Battlestar Galactica, made a dramatic entrance, arriving in a replica A-Team van, smoking a large cigar to cheers from the crowds.
Donny Tourette, of punk band The Towers of London, exchanged insults with the crowd, while model Danielle Lloyd was met with boos.
Other contestants include Michael Jackson's brother Jermaine, Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, ex-Steps star Ian "H" Watkins, Kenny Everett Show actress Cleo Rocos and newspaper columnist Carole Malone.
George Galloway attracted criticism for his exploits last year
History of celebrity version
Some of the press have already labelled the line-up "nobodies" and "wrinklies".
Votes from viewers will decide which stars are ejected during the series, which is expected to last a month.
Each celebrity will nominate a charity and the money raised during the voting process will be split equally between the organisations.
In last year's show, eventual winner Chantelle Houghton had been "planted" as a non-celebrity but proved the most popular contestant.
Day 2, 14:14
It's only Day Two, but the air is already thick with the stench of conspiracy.
Or at least, it is around Ian.
Last night during a midnight chat, Ian made noises that something was probably afoot in Big Brother land.
Something mysterious, something not very nice.
Really, Ian? What could you mean?
And earlier today in the bedroom, while Danielle was unpacking, Ian wondered on the bed: "There has to be a secret room here somewhere."
"Really?" replied Danielle.
"I'm sure there's a twist," he said.
After lunch, suspicion had spread to Jo.
"Everyone's cool. It's too easy. I don't trust it," she said.
"They have to put a cat among the pigeons," agreed Ian.
"They'll bring in a bitch or something," Jo continued. "I think they'll give us three or four days to bond. And then ******* it all up."
Jo, would Big Brother do such a thing?
"Yeah, it is too easy," added Donny. "What's gonna be the shake up? They're plotting something."
Our lips are sealed, Donny.
Day 2, 15:36
You wouldn't think a four-letter name could cause such mayhem.
Shilpa and Jo were two starlets divided by a common language this afternoon, as the pair tried to establish the correct way to pronounce Dirk's name.
We suggest 'Dirk' to rhyme with 'work', but hey...
"What are they laughing at?" Jo asked Shilpa as they listened to Dirk and Carol in the kitchen.
"They're saying I pronounce Dirk's name as duck," giggled Shilpa. "Dirk? Duck? Deuck?" she said.
"Dirk?" repeated Jo.
"Duck?" said Shilpa as the two fell about.
"It sounds like you call him Duck," laughed Jo.
"Duck Benedict. It sounds like a dish," chuckled Shilpa. "I don't call him Duck, I call him Deuck."
"Duck?" repeated Jo again.
"Jermaine," called Shilpa, corralling the Jackson into the fray. "How do you say 'Dirk'?"
"Dirk," he replied.
"See, he says it the same way."
"You say Duck?" asked Jo.
"Dirk? Duck?" repeated Jermaine sounding out the options, before drawling: "Oh, Dirrrrk."
Hearing his name, Dirk's ears pricked up and he looked at the women quizzically.
"We're doing name pronunciations. Dirk," explained Shilpa, before her and Jo repeated his name, one Mumbai, one Romford.
"I like yours better," chose Dirk. "I like accents."
"But how do you say it?" said Shilpa.
"It's got a hard R," confirmed Dirk. Wonder if he rolls his Rs too...
I watched the launch last night, and most of them i haven't even heard of! I'm not sure if i will get into Celeb Big Brother this year judging on first impressions. The only celebs i recognised going in was H from Steps and Jo who used to be in S Club 7. The other celebs haven't really heard of. Danielle seems like this year's "Jodie Marsh" so i don't particularly like her so far. Also that Donny guy who is in a band called "Towers of London" which i have never heard of, seems really cocky, arrogant and immature too so i'm not really liking him! The others i don't really mind and i will have to watch them more to get an opinion on them.
Ken Russel going in singing "Singing In The Rain" was really funny, i was laughing so much! :D
Jo is my favourite in there so far as i used to like S Club 7 and she was my favourite one in the band. :o
Oh god you can tell that Donny bloke is gonna rattle a few cages lol
Day 2, 20:25
Jo isn't impressed to hear herself coming over the airwaves...
Former S Clubber Jo lost her famous flow when one of the band's old tunes blared across the House tonight.
Rather than reach for the stars, the embarrassed singer opted to flee the room instead!
The housemates had just been let out of the bedroom to discover an array of delicious food and drink when the familar cheese of S Club 7's 'Reach for the Stars' started to play - much to Jo's embarrassment.
Story continues below
The tune sent most of those present into a bopping frenzy, and they encouraged Jo to embrace her days as part of the pop juggernaut.
"Come on Jo! Perform!" urged Shilpa.
But the singer was not pleased. Clutching a beer, she stomped over to the sofa. A procession of housemates danced over to the blonde lass, subjecting her to an array of malcoordinated moves designed to entice her to join in.
"Come on Jo!" urged Ian. "No! This is the real me" she barked back, surveying the scene of flailing limbs reaching up above.
As the song came to an end, she let off a blast to Big Brother: "I don't know what you've done that for."
"Who's next, I wonder?" pondered Dirk as the House was treated to suspenseful silence. His question was quickly answered as Leo's 'Thunder In My Heart' pumped out across the room.
Hearing one of his own tracks certainly made Leo feel like dancing, as he leapt up from the sofa with pure delight, proclaiming "it's the new one!" He treated onlookers to a song and dance routine that rolled back the years. Even Donny couldn't surpress a big grin.
It seems there is a party like an S Club Party when Leo's in charge
Day 3, 09:45
It's been a hard day's night. And fingers are being pointed.
As housemates began to stir in the bedroom this morning, Danielle wasted no time in confronting chief rumbler Ken.
"Ken, I haven't been to sleep," she called across to him.
"Why?" he enquired, looking well-rested.
"Your snoring. I had to get up at five in the morning."
"I shall definitely see Big Brother," resolved Ken.
"I spoke to him already," replied a down-in-the-mouth Danielle.
"What did he say?" asked Ken, hopefully.
"He said to speak to you."
"Maybe we can get one of those plaster things for your nose," suggested Cleo, from her bed on the floor.
"I'd be delighted," agreed Ken, before turning to Shilpa. "Shall I get one for you too?"
The actress looked startled. "Last night, I came in here last and you were fast asleep," said Ken to Danielle, before pointing at Carole. "And you were snoring. And Shilpa was snoring." Busted.
"I snore when I'm really tired and my nose is clogged. But I didn't snore," the actress pleaded. But Ken wasn't having any of it. "You kept me awake for an hour."
"But you kept me awake the night before!" she retorted.
"It was explosive last night, Ken," said Carole, coming to Shilpa's aid.
"It was like a volcano," added Danielle.
Another night of this and it'll be tempers that start erupting.
"We still love you, Uncle Ken. It's okay," calmed Cleo.
Ken grabbed his towel and made for the bathroom, announcing: "I'm going to blow my nose now. I apologise if it was minging."
But Shilpa pressed on, possibly appeasing her own guilt.
"Leo, can you comment on Uncle Ken's snoring?"
"D flat," he replied, then paused. "Actually, I heard you snoring!"
A nighttime wall of sound in stereo... wonder if a third could strike up a melody?
Awww i suppose you cant really blame her for trying to get away from S club and stuffQuote:

The singer with punk band the Towers of London left the house on Friday night after refusing to act as a servant to fellow contestant Jade Goody.
Jade, a former Big Brother star, entered the celebrity version with her mum Jackiey and boyfriend Jack Tweedy.
Donny was one of eight celebrities forced to wait on Jade, her family and three other contestants.
They were moved into Victorian-style servants' quarters in a separate section of the house following a vote, allowing the other contestants to live in luxury.
Breach of rules
A spokeswoman for Big Brother confirmed Donny's departure from the house, saying a full statement would be made later.
According to the programme's rules, making contact with the outside world is a breach of the rules, resulting in permanent removal from the Big Brother house.
Donny reportedly asked former Steps star Ian 'H' Watkins to help him over the fence, at around 2330 GMT.
Ian then told the housemates: "Donny's just legged it over the fence! He said he's not waiting on Jade! He's gone!", the show's website reported.
Earlier, the housemates had been instructed to choose three people to remain in the house.
Director Ken Russell, former Jackson 5 member Jermaine Jackson and Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty were picked to live in luxury.
Jade and her family, who arrived late on Friday night, also joined the three stars in the main house.
Their arrival marks the first time a family has entered the Big Brother household.
Mother-of-two Jade came fourth in the 2002 series of Big Brother, but has since become the most successful contestant of all time.
Donny donny Donny, Ive been waiting all this time for someone tio flee, finally its been done.
hurrah, no more balding wannabe!
urgh...shilpa shetty is an a list star...i would have expected the media to be less ignorant in making comments about her being a nobody just because she doesn't make the papers here and they might not know who she is...there are plenty of people who do know her since bollywood is huge and has been gaining a huge following here. As for wrinklies...face man is the awesomness and the older ones seem to have more character than most of the younger ones.Quote:
Some of the press have already labelled the line-up "nobodies" and "wrinklies".
I am slightly upset Donny jumped over the gates.. But least he left in style :lol:
The twist sounds good.. I hope Jade and the 3 celebrities stay. Maybe Jackie to leave as Jack is slightly the only eye candy there :rolleyes:
imagine jade get voted out and her boyfriend and mother stay!!! i think that would be hilarious!!Quote:
