Racism on Celebrity Big Brother

Melissa Hung - January 22, 2007

On another note, I was surprised to find that we've exported our two B-list celebrities to the UK for this show as well: Dirk Benedict of the A-Team and Battlestar Galatica and Jermain Jackson. Yes, of the Jackson 5.

The best coverage has been done by the British and Indian press but the must-read site is Digital Spy, the UK's website about television and the entertainment industry. Check out the "Big Brother" forum. [1]

Another site worth reading for a few good laughs is Jade Goody's own site. [2] Apparently she also suffers from the same disease that has afflicted our own beloved president and another reality-created celebrity, Jessica Simpson. Here are a few choice quotes (You can't make this up!) listed on her website:

"They were trying to use me as an escape goat."
"Do they speak Portuganese in Portugal? I thought Portugal was in Spain."
"That's asexual harassment."
"I had my first birthday when I was one."
"Who is heinzstein?"
