Speaking about it in the diary room she confessed,
“Ray J threw me under the bus. When people in America tried to make me out to be something I wasn’t, he never stood up for me. I want to know why he never said anything”.
WHITNEY: Stacy is said to have had an argument with the megastar Whitney Houston days before her death in a night club.
Revealing details about an argument that the X Factor USA star had with Whitney Houston, two days before Whitney died, she said that despite knowing Ray J for 15 years he didn’t stick up for her. Whitney died in 2012.
“When Whitney Houston’s sister Pat went on the Oprah show and said I was stalking Whitney Houston in the club, I was not, we were all standing there talking and having a good time, he knows that, he knows the events of the whole night.
“He never said this is a friend of my family. I’ve known Ray and his family over 15 years; he never came to bat for me. I wish he had the heart to say she wasn’t stalking Whitney in the club, she’s a friend. It was a hard time, I lost everything.”
Last night saw the songstress being “edited out” of the programme by the ‘all stars’ who became Big Brother’s producers for the night.
Speaking about resolving the bad blood between the two, Stacy said,
“I just felt it was really unfair. It was shocking when I saw Ray, I kinda shut down. I want a real talk with him; I need a heart to heart with him”.
Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight on Channel 5 at 9PM.

We were shocked, clutching our pearls the moment US star Ray J mentioned his peen on last night’s Celebrity Big Brother launch.
That’s actually a lie, within minutes we were searching the web for proof and a gentle reminder of the sex tape that he made with Kim Kardashian.
Ray J is famous for a number of things… a music career (sort of) his singer sister Brandy (in the 00s) and *that* sex tape which, some suggest, basically launched Kim Kardashian’s career. It seems as though he’s incredibly proud of it and he managed to mention it in his introductory VT before entering the BB house.
He said,
“You might know me for my music, TV shows and my dick!
“Put some money in my pocket, you’re still jerking off to the sex tape! Enjoy!”
Series four of the show is due to be filmed in Austria and Channel 4 execs have roped in Davina McCall for hosting. Despite broken ankles, sprained everythings and even a broken back a whole galaxy of stars have signed up for the new season.
The stars are in… the doors are locked. The 2017 Celebs are revealed.

So the 19th series of Celebrity Big Brother has just launched. We thought we’d see which LGBT celebs have starred in the ever popular show.

Michelle Visage, came 5th
Okay, so Michelle Visage is an honorary member of the LGBT community. She did herself proud in the house and even managed to make Katie Hopkins seem approachable.

Claims of sexuality made during various times and by various news sources. If an assertion of sexuality or gender is wrong please email the newsdesk for correction.
Katie Hopkins has poured cold water on fan’s hopes that she is to appear on Celebrity Big Brother tonight.
Katie Hopkins has joined her fellow housemate, Perez Hilton, in confirming that she’s not about to appear in tonight’s launch show of Celebrity Big Brother. Perez’s reason was money. Katie’s reason – because Donald Trump is about to “take control of the White House”.
Taking to Twitter Katie slammed the show as a “no star” event and stated,
“Go into no star CBB …when a 5 star President is about to take control of the White House? I don’t think so my little furry friends”
Katie Hopkins along with Perez, Michelle Visage and Katie Price starred in the January 2015 series of CBB which made it the most talked about series of the show on Channel 5. During the show, Katie formed a close friendship with Michelle, but the pair fell out shortly after the show, with Michelle revealing that Katie stopped returning her calls.
CBB execs apparently pleading with Perez to go back into the house, but they weren’t prepared to stump up the “double amount” fee.
When the new batch of Celebs enters the Celebrity Big Brother house they may want to pack some sun shades. The new-look CBB house has been unveiled and it’s bright and camp. It reminds us of THEGAYUK office.

Celebrity Big Brother is back on the 3rd January. This time Big Brother has invited back some of our favourite CBB housemates: the All Stars who will be joined by a bunch of brand new celebrity housemates: the New Stars.
Gossip king Perez Hilton has an announcement about appearing on 2017’s Celebrity Big Brother – and that’s the price wasn’t right. In his latest podcast, Perez reveals that he was asked by Big Brother execs to take part in the latest “all stars” version of the show but when it came to his fee, the producers of the hit Channel 5 show, refused to meet his demand of “double” the fee he received in 2015.
The reality star revealed that he was the most talked about celebrity in the history of the show and helped make the series, which also starred Michelle Visage and Katie Hopkins, to be one of the most successful in the show’s history. His most talked moments were his dramatic fall out with Michelle Visage about her being a spokesperson for the LGBT community and calling Katie Hopkins a c**t.
Speaking with Chris Booker on the podcast, Perez Hilton said, “I’m worth it…” when he talked about wanting to take home double the fee from his last appearance. He also revealed that the experience was “traumatic” and that the money had to be worth the heartache. He also said that he had left the “door open” to Channel 5 execs for future all-stars series if the price was right. But only if the price was right.
Apprentice star Dillon St. Paul has revealed how tense the boardroom process actually is for the candidates.
(C) Boundless
Apprentice star Dillon St. Paul has revealed how tense it is in the boardroom. When asked if the Apprentice boardroom was a bit like a strict school room, the magazine art director revealed exclusively to THEGAYUK.com, “Yeah, totally. It’s a really tense atmosphere, and it’s really, really serious.”
And if it looks as though the process from waiting room to boardroom is seamless, Dillon revealed that the candidates are actually kept waiting in complete silence for ages to build the tension and possibly to psyche each other out before they’re allowed to enter the board room. He told us,
“The thing is, what people don’t realise is, you’re kind of outside for ages, and you’re waiting for a long time. I don’t know whether that’s so that you psyche each other out, or whether it’s to give you time to think.We’re kept in complete silence outside for quite a bit longer than you realise”.
So, once inside the boardroom and the candidate meet the 69-year-old billionaire Lord Sugar for the first time, what do they make of him?
“Every time he makes a joke, everybody laughs regardless of if it’s funny or not because it’s so tense in there,
“He’s quite a serious guy. He just likes straight up. I wouldn’t call him the most patient man in the world. He kind of wants you to get to the point quickly before you’ve even started a sentence. He likes things fast, he likes thing straight talking, and he doesn’t like anybody kind of beating around the bush. You will get called out for that pretty fast anyway, so you learn pretty quickly not to do that.”
There are mutterings that Lauren Harries could be set to star in the next series of Celebrity Big Brother… Let the havoc commence.

So there are all types of rumours flying around about who is going into the Celebrity Big Brother house for the new series which starts in January, one of those rumours is Lauren Harries.
If you don’t remember who she is, she appeared in series 12 and caused mayhem and laughter in equal measure and she’s been lined up along with a long list of potentials to join the new series on Channel 5 as part of their “old stars, new stars” theme. They’re planning to bring back some of the show’s most controversial stars as well as chucking in a few newer ones.
She placed third in that series.
So who else is rumoured to be entering Britain’s most famous house? Katie Hopkins is among the rumoured entries as well as Jedward.
Lauren was recently spotted with Big Brother’s Bit On The Side presenter Rylan. They both shared a selfie, which Lauren shared on her social media saying,
“Having a selfie with #Rylanclark at his dressing room at Elstree it’s been too long Rylan we should have a good old natter after so long,”
Anyway, THEGAYUK.com reached out to Lauren to ask her about whether she’s was going into the house she replied,
“Looking forward to seeing some interesting people at Elstree on the 2nd of January”
Now whether she’ll be in the audience or in the house we have no idea!
The new series starts on the 3rd January, we’ve cancelled all plans!
Sometimes the runner up acts do better than the actual winner – actually, this is pretty much standard practice. We have a look at the X Factor runner ups to see where they’re today and how their careers panned out.
The classical pop-opera lads released four albums, with three of them being successful. They disbanded in 2007 apparently because they were “sick” of each other. An attempted re-band was made in 2015 when they released their flop Christmas album G4 Christmas. Only three of the original members performed on the album after Matthew Stiff decided not to rejoin. They lost out to Steve Brookstein.
Who can forget the Dustbin man turned pop star Andy Abrahams. He released 3 studio albums and a “best of” however only two of those albums charted. Andy can now be spotted on stage performing in musicals. He lost out to Shayne Ward.
