  • Perez: Katie Hopkins Is What I Used To Be

    Perez critcises Katie Hopkins by saying she is now what he used to be, are we seeing a Perez 2.0?

    During a task, in which the housemates have to debate, Big Brother asks: “Does anyone in the House take themselves too seriously”? RuPaul Drag Race judge Michelle Visage says that they take things too personally but not seriously. Katie Hopkins says that she won’t talk to Perez unless she’s told to by Big Brother. Perez asks if that is a threat or a promise and that her bullying will not hurt him and remarks that Katie Hopkins said that he has back fat.

    Katie Hopkins says that he does have back fat and that you can see it as he is always wearing spandex. Nadia comments that Katie’s mentioning of people’s physical attributes weakens her argument. Perez finishes by saying to the group about Katie Hopkins: “She’s what I used to be.”

    Katie Hopkins is famed for her ‘tell it like it is’ persona, which has left her open to criticism. She was slammed last year when she used fat jibes against Gemma Collins, when the TOWIE star entered the I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here Jungle.

  • CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER: Kavana Unleashes His Inner Monster

    It seems as though booze is getting the better of singer Kavana in the house after declaring Keith Chegwin a new enemy.

    A drunken Kavana has declared war on two housemates, Keith Chegwin and Perez Hilton. In the Diary Room, after downing a cup of alcohol, Kavana tries to release a burp before describing the mood as “false as fu*k”. He then described Keith as lovely man “a one trick pony” and that Perez is playing a huge game, claiming, “when is the English public going to see that f*cking Perez is playing a f*cking game!”

    Meanwhile, in the kitchen, the Housemates discuss Kavana and his drinking. Keith and Alicia agree that he can be rude when he’s drunk, but Katie Hopkins observes that he has a calming effect on arguments in the house.

    In the bedroom, Kavana remarks to Perez about Keith, “I’ve got a new enemy now, it’s not you, it’s him”, As Kavana speaks, Keith lies awake in bed and replies “I’m not your enemy” Kavana replies “Trust me you are, and you’ll see it tomorrow”.

    During his time on the Big Reunion, Kavana had an explosive row with Adam Rickett, speaking about his outburst to TheGayUK Kavana said, “What they didn’t show on that particular day is that I had received some pretty bad news, my mum is poorly with Alzheimer’s. I had a very weak moment. I just hit the bottle, obviously, it was right in the middle of rehearsals and on camera.

    “My mum’s in a care home. It’s pretty tough because I can’t call her because it confuses her. So I’ve gone from speaking to my mum every day to just not speaking to her – maybe once a month, because it gets her very confused. She doesn’t understand who I am. It’s kind of hard, but it is what it is. When I do see her I make sure we have quality time.

    “I have a tendency to self-sabotage, if something good is about to happen a part of me tries to sabotage it.”

    Celebrity Big Brother TX tonight at 9pm on Channel 5.

  • Kavana Wanted To Take 18 Year Old Best Male Award Into Celeb Big Brother

    Apparently gay pop singer Kavana wanted to take his beloved 1997 Smash Hits award into the Big Brother House.

    The Sun is reporting that sources close to the singer Kavana, who is currently starring in Channel 5’s Celebrity Big Brother, wanted to take his Smash Hits Award into the compound. He won the award 18 years ago.

    An insider reportedly told The Sun: “He was really anxious about leaving it – it’s like his comfort blanket.
    “He takes it everywhere with him in a black holdall bag and he’ll panic if it even leaves his eyeline.”

    However THEGAYUK’s editor Jake Hook, who interviewed Kavana in 2014, said,

    “This is a ridiculous story and quite bitchy. When we spoke he certainly didn’t tote his Smash Hits award at me. However, when we spoke he did say that he was writing a book called Smashed Hits, Misadventures In Pop.”

    Kavana entered the Big Brother compound on Wednesday evening and was greeted by Celebrity Blogger Perez Hilton who welcomed him by calling him a “fellow gay.”

    Kavana came out in 2014 at the age of 36.

  • Alexander O’Neal leaves Big Brother

    After all the drama, Alexander O’Neal has left the building.

    In a statement from the Big Brother producers, Alexander O’Neal has chosen to leave the Celebrity Big Brother House, after yesterday’s fall out with Perez Hilton. The Criticise singer called the openly gay celebrity blogger a “Silly Ass Faggot”.

    It has not been confirmed why the singer has left, however, yesterday producers at the show gave O’Neal an official warning after using the slur.

    In the diary room, Alexander told Big Brother that he didn’t feel comfortable in any corner of the House. Big Brother then issued Alexander with a formal warning because of his unacceptable language towards Perez. Alexander apologised for his actions.

    Earlier on in the day Perez had been antagonising “Criticise” hit maker, Alexander O’Neal by staring and blowing kisses at him. When Alexander leaves to go to the lounge, Perez follows and sits silently. Eventually, this causes Alexander to tell Perez, “I know what you want but you’re not going to get it…You’re going to sit there with that silly ass fa**ot look on your face”

    Speaking to Big Brother Perez told Big Brother that he needed to speak with his lawyer and initially refused to sit in the Diary Room chair. He went on to say that two Housemates have threatened him, and questions whether Alexander can control his emotions. Perez then started crying and said, “I have tried with every ounce of my being to be a professional here” Big Brother reassures Perez that his welfare is a top priority.

     

  • UK Version Of Drag Race Not Coming To Channel 5

    While hopes were running high that Drag Race UK could be coming to Channel 5, we’ve got bad news.

    A spokesperson for the Channel put a dampener on the rumours that Drag Race UK was coming to Channel 5 saying, “There are no discussions around a UK version of the show”, after The Race Family Facebook page said that they were expecting to reveal more information within the next two weeks.

    But is that a light at the end of the tunnel? – “no discussions about a UK version”. Does this mean that they’ll broadcast the US version – taking the crown away from the current home of Drag Race, Netflix.

    At the moment the US drag reality show is only available to view on Netflix, to which only a small proportion of the UK are signed up to.

    In a recent poll by THEGAYUK found that the Drag Race franchise was voted the most popular gay TV format, beating Queer As Folk, Looking, The L Word and Dante’s Cove.

  • Alexander ONeal Calls Perez “Silly Ass F*ggot”

    All is not good in the BB house as Perez’s erratic behaviour goes from bad to worse, ending with Alexander O’Neal using an offensive anti-gay slur.

    If you were wondering why Perez was sitting behind the stairs in the last night’s eviction show, it’s because a whole load of shiz had been going on that we didn’t see… (yet).

    Earlier on in the day Perez had been antagonising Criticise hit maker, Alexander O’Neal by staring and blowing kisses at him. When Alexander leaves to go to the lounge, Perez follows and sits silently. Eventually, this causes Alexander to tell Perez, “I know what you want but you’re not going to get it…You’re going to sit there with that silly ass fa**ot look on your face”

    The other Housemates stop Alexander from making any further comments, as Perez walks away. Katie storms after Perez and tells him, “No one messes with the big guy!”

    Perez then discovers that Katie has broken the hare statue, and she is called to the Diary Room.

    Later in the diary room Alexander tells Big Brother that he doesn’t feel comfortable in any corner of the House. Big Brother then issues Alexander with a formal warning because of his unacceptable language towards Perez. Alexander apologises for his actions.

    Perez tells Big Brother that he needs to speak with his lawyer and initially refuses to sit in the Diary Room chair. He goes on to say that two Housemates have threatened him, and questions whether Alexander can control his emotions. Perez then starts crying and says “I have tried with every ounce of my being to be a professional here” Big Brother reassures Perez that his welfare is a top priority.

    Vile homophobia has been directed at Perez Hilton from users on Twitter after he was seen acting out in the Big Brother garden in yesterday’s show. His performance got Michelle Visage all emotional, saying that his behaviour had set back the gay community fifty years.

    CBB continues tonight on Channel 5 at 9PM

  • Michelle Visage: Perez Is Setting Our Community Back Fifty Years

    Michelle Visage has broken her silence on Perez saying that he has set the gay community back fifty years with his behaviour.

    Drag Race Judge, Michelle Visage, has hit out at Perez in a diary room moment, saying that his behaviour is outrageous and that he is setting the LGBT community back 50 years.

    During tonight’s episode, Michelle gets emotional and confides with Big Brother that, “What we just witnessed is an outrage” and that Perez “sets our community back fifty years”. Perez is seen in the garden jumping around topless and making sexual noises whilst dry humping the garden furniture, saying, “Oh my God, I just came three times”

    She goes on to say, “He’s an embarrassment, I do not want people judging the gay community on this ass.”

    In an earlier conversation, she admits that they were never friends in the outside world and he “feigns compassion and love”.

    Earlier in the series, Michelle confronted Perez after he failed to reply to her messages and emails. Michelle said that she was big supporter of Perez until he took a “dark turn” and got big headed. It was around that time that Hilton stopped answering her emails. Perez responded saying that he was a “work in progress”.

    Michelle is up for eviction tonight after Perez chose her to face the public vote, after calling her one of the “mean girls”.

  • TV REVIEW | The Hotel, Sometimes it is best to leave a classic alone.

    ★★ | The Hotel

    Unfortunately, the new series of The Hotel fails to ignite any excitement but does raise questions on why bother to invest time and money in a programme that is as dull as the hotel’s carpet.

    When Mark and the hotel first checked on to our screens, it was fun, it was campy and was an hour of guilty pleasure television as former hotelier Mark Jenkins misdirected his team into more and more moronic situations. However, this time round Mark is stymied at every turn and the programme has become turgid and rather dull.

    This season sees Mark return to the Cavendish Hotel in Torbay, except this time, he’s not the boss; he’s the entertainment management. The roof is leaking and finances are at rock bottom. Desperate for a new lease of life, owners Vicky and Andy have agreed to take on the hapless Mark for the season as their new entertainment’s manager. Except the owners, Vicky and Andy won’t let Mark get on to it.

    You do have to question why on earth the owners would allow Mark, who has had three hotel disasters himself, take control of anything, especially entertainment, except to possibly bring attention to their ailing hotel.

    The programme makers say expect comedy and mishaps, but after watching an episode I’ve decided to take a pass on the rest of the series and check out.
