Why aren't more famous people queueing up to be in 'Celebrity Jungle'? It's a strange situation when David Gest is one of the few you recognize, and he and Jason Donovan are most famous for their more famous exes. Myleene Klass - David gives her a '10 all round' - cue Myleene showering in the waterfall. Well she is just 'famous for being famous' - a reality TV show habitue. Faith Brown - who's taken impersonation to sublime depths, in a surgical parody of a young woman, and Jan Leaming - a newsreader who didn't appear on the Morecambe and Wise show, was not known for wearing combat gear in gritty war zones, and who has now sprouted a glamorous blonde wig - cue 'Young Woman Impersonation' number 2.
Not a very inspiring lot - who else is in there? Can't remember.
David Gest: he has blue hair - hypnotically odd. When he goes, the show will be dead.
The gay designer is either Leopold or Loeb, and I expect the ghost of Jimmy Stewart to visit the jungle any day now to reveal that a body has been hidden in a tea chest.
Mylene Klass: She's a 'classical' pianist, is she? The last time I saw her she was on 'Celebrity' Mastermind, answering questions on her 'specialist' topic, 'Sex and the City, series five' - I mean, she even limited it to one particular series!!! She's skinny enough now - she'll technically be a skeleton if she lasts three weeks in the jungle.
Faith Brown: The minute she attempts (a) her Shirley Bassey impression, (b) her Margaret Thatcher impression, or (c) her Hilda Baker impression (yes, that's how ancient her act is!) she should be eaten by the rest of the camp.
Boy Band bloke: No idea who he was/is.
Jason Donovan: He is the nearest thing to Blackburn/Tufnell/Pasquale - the Nigel Smalls of the camp.
Toby Anstis: He played Buttons in panto last year. The laundry staff dubbed him 'Chocolate Buttons,' due to the, er, skid marks on his white pants.
Hi coolana and thnx What an incredibly feeble and peculiar bunch -actually, apart from David Guest who seems quite a tough and suitably selfish cookie. Jan Leeming is way up her own backside and an hysteric attention-seeker,I think after two minutes in her company, you would be crawling up the wall, as for Faith Brown, grotesque!!! I notice Lauren Booth has those abnormal "Booth" hips as does Cherie-grab-it-it's-free-Blair. And the rest, dreary,especially Jason Donovan IMHO Just waiting for the bitching to start!! Can't wait for your commentaries.
Hi Rothy. La Leeming is a bit of a bunny boiler - all cucumber sandwiches and tra-la-las, then she snaps. How many marriages has she been through? Five I think. I'm not surprised. She has a real temper, that one. Apparently another celebrity will be added fairly soon...or maybe s/he's already there, hiding in Ms Booth's shorts.
Originally posted by rothgar: Hi dd Yes fully agree with you about David Guest, there seems to be more to him than I perhaps first thought.
I doubt it somehow. Saw last night's show but missed tonight's. Apart from having had the most awful plastic surgery and strange, kind of plug-in, blue-black hair tufts in the wrong place - he was already talking to the camera about one of the women (was it Jan Leeming?) whose had a head instead of a vagina or a vagina instead of a head. Speak for yourself, I thought.
Yes, the Leeming remark was just downright odd. She'd probably just been eating tuna. Gest did well, though, on the tucker thingy. Whereas Lauren Booth put her foot in it hilariously.
As you are already at the bottom of the class Diggettydawg, I'm surprised to see you sink even further. Disgusting - and from what I could see, the only edibles were rice and alligator - or is it crocodile in those parts? (If you'll pardon the expression).
David Gest is repulsive and yet fascinating - and he was admirably calm when he was soaked in spiders and snapping crocs - or is it alligators?
Well I'm a sucker for a Blair-hater, so Lauren Booth gets my vote, big hips, feeble excuses and all. 'I'm not the one who killed 600,000 people in Iraq' she said, which you have to admit is less of a transgression than talking about Gest's tattooed eyes. If this is a publicity stunt ('my agent would never have said that about me') then so what - Tony Blair is more loathsome than David Gest, and then some.
Hi Rothgar
I knew David Gest would find you on top form - worth it just for that
I've tried to find a repeat of last night's that I missed. These things (X Factor, BB) are usually repeated til the cows come home, over the next day, too. I'd like to have seen David Gest covered in spiders. No, I didn't like his remark the other night. I mean, has he *seen* his own head, lately?

OK - I tried to let your reference to Gest's head pass earlier, sweetie - but now I'm sending you to the bottom of the class with DiggettyDawg - or maybe even in the corner with two pointy hats with 'D's on.

Eh? Hi Coolana. The comments about her anatomy were his comments (David Gest), which is what annoyed me about him (one of the things). I thought that a jerk who looks like an alien has no business talking about what anyone else looks like. I missed it last night and in fact I didn't bother watching it tonight either. It's strange, I liked Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother, but I can't stomach this lot. I don't know who most of them are and don't want to.
Yes, he is annoying, and disgusting - and your references to his head, in context as it were, made me jump to unsavoury conclusions - and it's all Diggy's fault!
So Diddy can stay in the corner - or oop the chimney - and you can open your pressies on the big, comfy chair.

This is what creates most of the confusion. Who ARE these buggers, eh? Apparently they'll be joined by two more later.
The fashion designer's 'bush tucker trial' last night was so odd thatthe public has invited him for a repeat performance. One star - he conducted a feeble attempt at disco dancing (he had a glitter ball but was uninspired) and admittedly crickets and worms in the lycra shorts is probably quite unpleasant - but the way he suddenly announced 'OK, I'll stop now' when he'd looked eerily calm, eyes closed and jigging about - was just, odd. So starving on his birthday!
Later he takes to a high wire with Jan Leeming - so as usual the vote is vicious - go for the weakest link every time!
Really, really thick. 1. Leeming thought that once you'd done a Bushtucker thingy, that was it. She was too bone idle to bother knowing about the Rules, viewers 'phoning and voting for someone to do it. Hence, the viewers, spotting a dud and wanting the celebs to starve, have voted for Leeming to do tonight's Bushtucker Trial (or is that Trail?) 2. Mylene put small wax birthday candles in a HOT cake and put it in a tin. The candles melted. DUH! 3. Booth had the screaming ab dabs because a spider was on her bed. She is married and bringing up children. Frightening!!!
Booth had the screaming ab dabs because a spider was on her bed. She is married and bringing up children. Frightening!!!
AND she has an intimate genetic connection to Cherie Booth/Blair - how could she be bothered by a mere spider? Very odd.
Hi rothgar
Lauren Booth was a wimp when 'scarier than Michael Jackson' Gest confronted her, and yet she is not afraid to hold forth about her dear bro-in-law, and warmongering. And my, she does a mean dub reggae/hip hop jive. Very, very odd.
Faith Brown: The minute she attempts (a) her Shirley Bassey impression, (b) her Margaret Thatcher impression, or (c) her Hilda Baker impression (yes, that's how ancient her act is!) she should be eaten by the rest of the camp.
OK - last night I spotted a Dame Edna impression! I don't mind this one so much as she's in Australia - and Dame Edna is a scary middle aged woman.
The gay designer claimed he was bitten by a worm! What a twerp! Lauren Booth is fast becoming the female Richard Madeley - excruciating. I just hope Dean 'Acne' Gaffney (he used to be in EastEnders, I believe) is thrown out as fast as he arrives: a buffoon of the first order, and he looks like something from out of The Beano.
Booth, apparently, is the only one evacuating her bowels. The others haven't yet "been" for four days!! While I admit it's too much information, I'm not surprised as Booth is so full of sh*t there has to be an excess which the body can longer accommodate. IMHO
