Big Brother 10's Steven Daigle Arrested in Fight

Steven Daigle, of Big Brother 10 and most recently gay porn fame, has been arrested for allegedly beating ex-boyfriend and fellow porn star Trent Locke.

According to TMZ, the US Big Brother 10 contestant fought Locke in West Hollywood on Monday after an argument erupted between the two.

Daigle was later arrested and charged with one count of misdemeanour battery while Locke was taken to hospital for treatment of his injuries.

"[I am] deeply embarrassed," Locke said from his hotel room. "[I] would never take a swing at [Steven]. And I did not."

Daigle is said to still be behind bars and is being held on $20,000 bail. He could face up to one year in prison if convicted.

The Bold and the Beautiful Casts "Brenchel" from Big Brother 12

The latest Big Brother showmance will follow in the footsteps of Jeff Schroeder and Jordan Lloyd by making its debut in CBS daytime next month: Rachel Reilly and Brendon Villegas, a.k.a. Brenchel, will appear in two episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful on October 25th and 26th.

Reilly will play a waitress and Villegas, a bartender in a scene with Hope (Kim Matula), Liam (Scott Clifton), Bill (Don Diamont), Katie (Heather Tom), and Amber (Adrienne Frantz).

Entertainment Weekly spoke with Reilly who acknowledged that the role wasn’t much of a stretch — she worked as a VIP waitress in Las Vegas, after all, before joining Big Brother this summer. But the gig represented the opportunity of a lifetime because she’s been a longtime fan of the show.

But enough about the soap cameo: Has she followed through with her plans and actually moved to Los Angeles to be with her man? “I’m in the process! I’m going to make it happen!” she told Entertainment Weekly. She’ll miss Sin City, though — especially the folks who were nothing like BB 12′s Ragan and actually liked being around her. “Oh my gosh, everyone has been so supportive. I was shocked. Everyone hated me in the house and I was convinced everyone in America hated me. But coming back to Vegas, everyone was so welcoming and supportive.”

Even though her fellow houseguests expressed skepticism during the Big Brother finale that she and Villegas wouldn’t last, Reilly said she’s seen the opposite reaction in the real world. “Everyone wants to know when there will be a proposal and a wedding,” she gushes. “We are head over heels in love. I’m so lucky to be with him. I foresee a long future together. He is my missing puzzle piece!”

Big Brother Winner: ‘I Thought People Hated Me’

Ten days ago Hayden sat down in the Diary Room and asked, “When I busted into this joint, did you ever think I would get this far?”

Despite his disbelief, the college student, 24, rode his string of HOH wins and a subtle social game to take the $500,000 prize in the live Big Brother season finale Wednesday night, narrowly defeating fellow Brigade member, Lane, with a hefty assist from the Meow-Meow.

But it wasn’t easy, with just about every aspect of the finale coming down to a nail-biting conclusion. Hayden won the final HOH competition on the very last question, and then opted for the lesser of two evils, taking Lane with him to the final two, and sending Enzo out the door. Then it was almost a hung Jury House, with the votes split right down the middle, but fittingly enough, it was Enzo who broke the deadlock by casting the deciding vote.

In a season that saw a secret alliance make it from week one to the very end, no one was more shocked than Hayden at the final outcome. “I thought people hated me!” he told People magazine. “Coming into this house my biggest fear was being the first one sent home. When that last key was pulled out, my head exploded!”

Lane, who took second place and walked away with a cool $50,000, took the loss in stride, hinting, though, that the game was still on. “I’m going to ask Hayden for at least another fifty grand.” he said after the show. ”I want him at least half broke by the end of the night, and that’s going to be a whole other game that he won’t even see coming.”

None of the house guests seemed to take Hayden seriously, even among the fraternity of his alliance, and by the time they did, it was too late. Brigade member Matt explained: “He charmed us with his flowing locks, golden tan and All-American good looks. We believed him when he said he cared.”

Beyond the little matter of who was walking out with $500,000, there was plenty of drama packed into the two-hour finale. Here are some highlights:

• Rachel faced the girls she targeted from the start, including Monet, who called her a “skank-ho.” “Ewww! And you can quote me on that!” she told People magazine. “She’s still mad that she got evicted in week two and I was the cause of her eviction.”

• Matt addressed the lie he told about his wife being gravely ill, and it seems as if the “Brains of the Brigade” had trouble wrapping his “diabolical super-genius” mind around why it upset people. ”I feel like I’m dealing with a sea full of lunatics,” he said after the show. “I lied on Big Brother — sorry, but that’s what people do.”

• Britney had her own set of highs and lows, taking the title of America’s Favorite Player and its $25,000 prize, only to walk out of the house to find out about the fire that ripped through her Arkansas home. “All I know is that everyone is okay, and obviously that’s the most important thing to me,” she said, adding later, ”Maybe I can camp out in sequester, or they can let me and [my fiancé] Nick live in the BB house for a while.”

• Meanwhile, it was Enzo, empty-handed in third place, who seemed most in the mood to celebrate. “I saw my wife in the audience, and she’s looking off the hook right now,” he said. “I cannot wait for tonight, because we’re gonna make a baby — maybe adopt a baby, who knows? I don’t care that my mom is in the room, I’m breaking something tonight.”

Sequestered Big Brother Contestant Britney Haynes’s Home Burns

Britney Haynes can’t seem to catch a break. The Big Brother contestant left her home and her fiancé for three months in the hopes of winning $500,000. Last week, she was the latest “evictim” — and when she finally emerges from the sequestered Jury House, it appears the plucky blonde will be going from a communal house of crazy to no house at all.

Reports out of Arkansas say that the home that Britney shares with her fiancé, Nick Grisham, was severely damaged in a fire early Wednesday morning, hours before the 22-year-old was to appear on the live finale of the CBS reality show.

Thankfully, no one was hurt. Grisham was able to rescue the couple’s two dogs from the blaze, but it’s going to be a rough welcome home for Britney, who has spent the last three months cut off from the outside world.

The producers of the CBS reality show have yet to issue a statement and didn’t respond to requests for comment, but Britney’s future mother-in-law, Laura Grisham, told the Arkansas Democrat Gazette that her son was in contact with production and it’s been decided that Britney will be kept in the dark, for now. “He told them what happened, and they agreed they wouldn’t say anything to Britney,” she says. “She can’t do anything, the final show is tonight and it’s live. There’s no sense in her knowing.”
The hotel sales manager survived numerous challenges, feuds among the cast, being handcuffed to another contestant and even won $10,000 in a luxury competition before being blindsided by the power alliance called the Brigade.

With reports citing the cause of the blaze as an untended backyard grill, and damages estimated at $50,000, it looks like Britney’s fiancé has some explaining to do before their bittersweet homecoming.

True Blood & Jersey Shores Hit High Ratings!

As summer nears the end, cable's hottest seasons were really scorching last week.

HBO's "True Blood" and MTV's "Jersey Shore" both hit series highs, while rookie dramas "Covert Affairs" on USA and "Rizzoli and Isles" on TNT continue to impress. Also looking good were the likes of Bravo's "Real Housewives of New Jersey" and E!'s "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."

Overall, it was live events like the Emmys and preseason football that helped settle the weekly rankings. CBS, NBC and Fox all tied for first place among adults 18-49 with a 1.8 rating/6 share, followed by Univision (1.4/5), ABC (1.3/4) and top cabler USA (1.0/3).

CBS, whose "Big Brother" is having a great summer, edged past NBC to win among adults 25-54 (2.3/7 to 2.2/6) and also made it 10 straight weeks as primetime's most watched network overall (6.6 million to NBC's 6.4 million).

At HBO, the season's penultimate episode of "True Blood" surged to a 3.2 rating/9 share in adults 18-49 and drew 5.44 million viewers overall -- standing as primetime's No. 3 program (and No. 1 series) for the week in adults 18-49.

This is especially impressive considering that HBO is available in less than one third of the country. Also, its Sunday timeslot put it up against the only two telecasts to rate higher for the week: NBC's coverage of the 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards (4.1/12 in 18-49, 13.50m) and Fox's special preseason NFL game between the Denver Broncos and Pittsburgh Steelers (3.7/11, 10.13m).

The Emmys improved by a smidge vs. last year in total viewers to hit a four-year high; and apparently boosted by fans of 19-time nominee "Glee," the kudocast hit a five-year high in female teens (2.3/9).

MTV's reality skein "Jersey Shore" (3.0/9, 5.82m) racked up another high, placing fifth for the week in 18-49 and first in women 18-34 (5.5/18).

At USA, "Covert Affairs" (1.9/5 in 18-49, 5.87m) again built nicely on its "White Collar" lead-in (1.3/4, 4.60m). And the net scored even bigger with its Thursday combo of "Burn Notice" (2.1/6, 6.29m) and "Royal Pains" (1.8/5, 6.08m), which aired their summer finales.

TNT rookie "Rizzoli and Isles" (1.6/5, 6.73m) continues to mesh well with its lead-in from "The Closer" (1.4/4, 7.05m), matching or besting the vet in both 18-49 and 25-54. "Closer" still stood as cable's most-watched program overall.

Also performing well in crowded timeslots on cable were Monday's "Real Housewives of New Jersey" on Bravo (1.7/5, 3.36m) and Sunday's "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" on E! (1.9/5, 3.57m).

ESPN moved up to second in 18-49 for the week among cablers thanks to preseason NFL action on both Monday (1.8/5 in 18-49, 5.06m for Arizona-Tennessee) and Thursday (2.1/6, 5.73m for Indianapolis-Green Bay).

CBS improved its weekend standing by airing a pair of its own NFL exhibition games, winning Friday with its San Diego-New Orleans matchup (1.8/7 in 18-49, 5.94m) and dominating Saturday with Dallas-Houston (2.2/8, 6.44m).

The Eye's "Big Brother" also had another big week, with all three editions making the top 10. Wednesday's installment racked up the best 18-34 score for the franchise since 2007 (2.6/10), and Sunday's seg -- airing opposite the Emmys -- surged to the show's best delivery on the night since its spring edition in 2008.

NBC's "America's Got Talent," which ranked fourth for the week in 18-49 (3.1/9), and trailed only the Emmys among total viewers.

ABC, without football or any event programming, was led by Tuesday's "Wipeout" (2.7/9 in 18-49, 7.98m).

"Big Brother 12" Premiere Up From Last Year

The 12th edition of Big Brother on Thursday posted decent gains in viewers and key demographics compared to last summer, CBS announced today.

The hour-long telecast, which won its timeslot among adults 18-34 and tied for first among adults 18-49, averaged 7.35 million viewers, up 11% versus last year. It also posted a 17% gain among adults 18-34 and was up 4% among adults 18-49.

It was Big Brother’s best premiere in viewers since the debut of BB 8 on July 5, 2007 and it’s best performance among adults 18-34 and adults 18-49 since BB 9 on Feb. 12, 2008.

Overall, CBS won Thursdays among viewers (7.58 million), and the key adult demographics.

All About the Cast of Big Brother 12

The last season of Big Brother divided the house into cliques that would make the toughest high school student cringe. After crowning a winner - Jordan Lloyd - who was one-part chest bump, three parts Jeff Schroeder and a healthy dose of “aw shucks,” this season of BB introduces “the saboteur” when it premieres July 8th on CBS.

In a series first, thirteen house guests walk in with one determined to wreak havoc on people who are either “peers” or “pawns.” Here’s a look at six standouts (the first two are pictured above) going into the “den of Chen” for season 12:

BRENDON VILLEGAS: A high school swim coach from Riverside, California, Villegas, 30, will soon pursue a Ph.D. in biomedical physics. Though he describes himself as “very much a nerd,” he’s really a combination of brains, brawn and brown-eyed good looks. “My goal is to not intimidate the guys and to be flirty with the girls,” says Villegas, who may be up for a showmance. “The girl that is down-to-earth and sweet is going to be the biggest challenge for me.”

RACHEL REILLY: A graduate student in chemistry and VIP cocktail waitress from Las Vegas, Reilly, 26, has a secret weapon — or two. “Most people look at me and think that I’m just a hot girl with big boobs,” she says. “I can manipulate men and the bikinis that I brought are not even the size of my palm. They’re super tiny! I’m going to hustle them with my Vegas-cocktail personality.”

KATHY HILLIS: A deputy sheriff-sergeant from Texarkana, Arkansas, Hillis, 40, is the only contestant who has (legally) ordered someone to “cough and drop.” But this single mom, who has survived cancer, has a simpler motto: “Never give up, never give in and never use the word defeat,” she says. “When my grandma was terminally ill, we would watch BB together and … I promised her that I would [try out for the show] when we both got better. And though I got better, she didn’t [so] I’m going win it for Grandma!”

ENZO PALUMBO: An insurance adjuster from Bayonne, New Jersey, Palumbo, 32, is happy to wear a stereotype on his sleeve and “shore” up that Jersey “situation.” His message to fans: “When I get into that house, competition is going to be served like my mother’s baked ziti,” he says. “That is how I am going to be playing this game.”

ANNIE WHITTINGTON: A bartender from Tampa, Florida, Whittington, 27, says she may keep her bisexuality a secret. “There may be some more close-minded people in the house and I don’t want to be judged,” she says. “There are so many more facets to my character … I don’t think who I sleep with should be that important to anybody.”

MATT HOFFMAN: A Web designer from Elgin, Illinois, Hoffman, 32, is quick to list his strengths — “My tattoos, coming into BB, are my greatest asset,” he says, “along with being a genius.” — as well as a weakness. “One of my worst character traits is the fact that I can be really condescending,” he reveals. “It’s something that I’ve tried to work on but everyone aggravates me.”

And the rest of the cast…

Kristen Bitting, 24: “I am a quiet storm,” says the boutique manager from Philadelphia. I don’t think there is anyone on reality TV quite like me.”

Hayden Moss, 24: “Athletically, I’m pretty gifted, so the physical competitions are going to be in the bag,” says the college student from Tempe, Arizona. “Also, I’m smarter than I look.”

Britney Haynes, 22: “I’ll pretend to be nice and always a bit elusive,” says the hotel sales manager from Huntington, Arizona. “People want what they can’t have and I’ll give them just enough.”

Andrew Gordon, 39: “Live for today because tomorrow will be yesterday soon,” says the podiatrist from Miami Beach. “Say anything, do anything, just don’t let them know and trust no one.”

Ragan Fox, 34: “I party as hard as I work, and I grew up gay in Texas,” says the college professor from West Hollywood, California. “If you want to get crazy with me — and I opt to go crazy — then you’re in trouble.”

Monet Stunson, 24: “I come off as really sweet and innocent,” says the model from Glen Carbon, Illinois. “People won’t expect that I would lie to their face and stab them in the back to win.”

Lane Elenburg, 24: “I’m a big guy, so I know that I have to find a smart guy,” says the oil rig salesman from Decatur, Texas. “I have to find a ‘brain’ for the ‘meat head.’”

This season Big Brother will be televised on Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursday at 8:00 pm (ET). The live eviction show takes place on Thursdays. Plus, you can catch three hours of live feed every night at Showtime After Dark on SHO2.

Big Brother Star Arrested for Witness Intimidation

A former reality TV star charged with violently attacking his pregnant girlfriend earlier this month has been arrested for witness intimidation.

Matt McDonald, who appeared on season nine of hit show Big Brother, was apprehended by Boston, Massachusetts police on April 18th after an unnamed woman filed a domestic violence complaint against him.

According to police reports, obtained by www.TMZ.com, McDonald and his family members waged a two-day campaign of intimidation against the accuser and her family, and demanded the woman, who is currently nine weeks pregnant, drop the charges.

McDonald was scheduled to face charges of assault and battery and assault and battery on a pregnant woman next month.

He was arrested for witness intimidation on April 20th, after police determined he may pose a serious threat to his accuser.

Reality Sweethearts Jeff and Jordan: The Amazing Race Made Us Stronger

After falling for each other in the Big Brother house last summer, salesman Jeff Schroeder, 31, and salon receptionist Jordan Lloyd, 22, decided to take their new relationship for a test drive around the world on The Amazing Race. While they didn’t win any money this time around, the couple agree the experience gave them new tools to make their long-distance (he’s in Chicago. Illinois; she’s in Charlotte, North Carolina) relationship last.

So sad to see you guys go as you never ceased to entertain.
Jeff: At least we accomplished something.

Much of the entertainment value came from Jordan’s ditsy moments — the granddaddy of them all being confusing Noah’s Arc and Joan of Arc.
Jordan: I was like, “I don’t want to watch this episode because I know they’re gonna show that stupid thing I said about Joan.” If I ever learned about her, that was a long time ago and I’d forgotten. Racing, you’re not always thinking straight and the first thing that came to my head when I heard Arc was Noah and animals. It made me feel better when Caite said the same thing. At least I wasn’t the only one.

Where did you go wrong? Biggest misstep?
Jordan: Directions. It was cold. We didn’t communicate well with each other. The whole cab ride in Germany really threw us off for the next two legs. That guy took us probably 40 minutes out of the way and put us so far behind. It just went downhill from there.
Jeff: That really messed with our heads. It’s hard to play catch-up.

It must be hard to swallow when bad luck — or even worse, bad directions — are to blame for your elimination.
Jeff: If you can’t trust a tourist office, who should you get directions from? But one hand washes the other. When something good happens in life, usually something bad happens. We got sent on some unfortunate cab rides and got some bad directions, but we also got saved by a non-elimination [round] and a U-turn. We should have been off the show two weeks earlier. Not winning wasn’t the worst thing ever. We had a great time doing the show. We learned a lot about each other and doing the show made us a stronger couple.

Glad to hear you guys are still dating. Many contestants who have known each other much longer weren’t so lucky.
Jordan: The Race helped us learn more about each other. A lot of things I didn’t understand about Jeff going in, I understand now. Like sometimes I felt he was yelling at me because he was raising his voice. I kept telling him, “Lower your tone with me.” I learned that’s just Jeff being competitive. I thought it was going to make or break us. It just made us stronger.

Jeff, is it fair that people accused Jordan of holding you back?

Jeff: I was worried about that going in and sometimes she could have tried a little harder, but I was also too competitive. It kept me from communicating well with Jordan. I was trained in sales and she was never in sports so she doesn’t share my way of thinking. I dealt with her like a coach would a player, but that’s not the way to do it with her. You have to talk a little softer and understand where she’s coming from. But we learned from it. She turned it up a level and I toned it down a little and that’s going to help us throughout life.

Is this it for you guys and reality TV or is there another show you’re hoping to get on?
Jeff: I think people are getting tired of us and need a break, so we’re going back to our regular lives. We loved every minute of our 15 minutes of fame and I’m sure we’re gonna miss it, so I would never say never.

Big Brother’s Jeff Schroeder and Jordan Lloyd Take on The Amazing Race

They capped off their inexplicable run on Big Brother with Jordan Lloyd emerging as the season 11 champ and Jeff Schroeder taking home the prize as America’s Favorite Player. But before the ink was even dry on their BB checks, America’s reality sweethearts signed on to compete in the 16th edition of CBS’s The Amazing Race, which started last night (February 14th).

With 11 other teams, eight countries and five continents standing between them and the ultimate prize, the couple who hadn’t even had a chance to take a vacation together faced a whole new set of obstacles. Jeff, 31, and Jordan, 22, sat down with People magazine to talk about their new challenge.

Were you fans of the Amazing Race before signing on?
Jordan: It’s kind of funny. I’ve been part of two reality shows and I had never watched either one before. I had to YouTube it, just like I did with Big Brother and figure out what everything meant, like ‘detour,’ ‘roadblock’, and all that other stuff.
Jeff: I had watched it a couple of times, but I wasn’t a die-hard fan.

Did your experience together on BB help you, or hurt you?
Jeff: I think it helped us, and played to our strengths. I’m sure that brothers and sisters, or mothers and daughters had issues after a week of being together non-stop. What was a strain on other teams was a positive for us; we didn’t have to worry about being together all of the time, we were already use to it.

Did traveling together put too much strain on you two, or do you think that it actually made you stronger?
Jeff: It was definitely a strain…
Jordan: (interrupting) I think it made us stronger!
Jeff: (laughs) Let me finish. It was definitely a strain on the relationship, but it definitely made us stronger. The fact that we went through the hard times that we did is a testament to our relationship. This show really pushed us to the max, and it was tough, but we’re still a couple, we’re still here, and it show’s a lot that we’re still together.

Do you think you two are lucky that you made it through this without going for each other’s throats?
Jordan: (laughs) I think the main problem was that I was too laid back about things, because I’m not that competitive, and Jeff is so competitive. We didn’t really meet in the middle, so it went from one extreme to another.
Jeff: I need to turn it down, and she needs to turn it up, (laughs) but there were moments when I did want to strangle her, and I’m sure there were times where she wanted to kill me.

Was there ever a point where things got so hard that you two almost threw in the towel?
Jeff: There was one point, but as much as we joke around about strangling each other, and argue, we were never, ever going to throw in the towel. We were never going to quit by any means. I don’t think it was ever an option for either one of us.
Jordan: Yeah, but it was the only time though. It was the worst ever, and I was about to cry but I didn’t want to look like a baby.

If you had a choose between slop for a month, and a Race food challenge, which would you take?
Jordan: I’d eat slop. Before we went in, I told Jeff that I would do all the height challenges, because he’s kind of scared of heights, but that he had to eat all of the gross stuff. I can’t stand anything fishy, or oily, and I can’t eat a bug, and I know that Jeff will do it.
Jeff: I would take care of eating weird stuff, but if there was something that had to be jumped off of,(laughs) it was going to be Jordan.

You two went from being locked in a house for three months with a bunch of lunatics to traversing 5 continents and eight countries in a race against other cutthroat teams. Are you two just gluttons for punishment?
Jeff: (laughs) No, but I look at it as an amazing story, how Jordan and I met, and how things have been working out between us. It’s definitely something to tell the grandkids type of story, and hopefully things keep working out the way they have, because as crazy as it’s been, it’s a serious relationship. I love the way things are and I wouldn’t trade it or change it for anything.

Jordan, when Jeff says that it’s a story, ‘to tell the grandkids,’ what goes through your mind?
Jordan: (laughs) That he’s being nice today, he’s being real sweet! Normally when I talk like that he’s like, ‘Jordan, take it easy!’

SPOILER ALERT! Jeff and Jordan ended in first place on the first episode of the 16th edition of The Amazing Race.

Big Brother Sweethearts Jeff & Jordan to Compete on The Amazing Race

There will be some familiar faces competing on the new season of The Amazing Race!

Big Brother winner Jordan Lloyd and her fan-favorite boyfriend Jeff Schroeder will make up one of the 11 teams racing almost 40,000 miles on the 16th edition of the show, which premieres February 14th at 8:00 pm (ET) on CBS.

Departing from Los Angeles, the teams will have to make their way on public transportation to LAX, where they’ll hop a flight to their first destination, Chile, where they’ll face one of the most daunting Roadblocks in the show’s history, according to a CBS press release.

Also competing: Caite Upton, the former Miss South Carolina Teen USA who became a YouTube sensation after flubbing her answer to a question from pageant judges. Now a model, she’ll race with her boyfriend Brent Horne.

To learn more about the contestants — including a pair of undercover detectives, a World Series champion coach and his daughter, and cowboy brothers — competing on The Amazing Race, watch the following video.

Boy George Barred from Appearing on Big Brother

Singer Boy George will not be appearing on Celebrity Big Brother after a High Court judge dismissed his appeal.

The star, real name George O'Dowd, was barred from going on the show when the Probation Service said his appearance would undermine public confidence in the justice system.

George, 48, appealed to the High Court to quash the decision but this was turned down by a judge, Press Association reports.

He is on probation after being released from jail in May. He had been found guilty of falsely imprisoning and assaulting male prostitute Audun Carlsen, 29, and served four months of his 15 month sentence.

The star was set to earn £200,000 for his appearance on the Channel 4 show and his lawyer argued he wanted to rebuild his career and reputation.

But Richard Clayton QC, representing the Probation Service, said that allowing George on the show could undermine public confidence in the criminal justice system and threaten the reputation of the Probation Service.

Judge Bean has said he will give his reasons for the refusal later.

When George was sentenced for the attack on Carlson, the judge said he had used "gratuitous violence" and left his victim "shocked, degraded and traumatised".

The singer had said he met Carlsen previously but had asked him back to his Shoreditch flat because he believed Carlsen had tampered with his computer.

Carlsen said he was attacked, dragged across the floor by George, handcuffed to a wall by the bed at the Culture Club singer's east London flat and beaten with a chain, until he managed to flee.

George denied the charges but chose not to give evidence in his own defence.

He has since spoken of his regret over the incident and said he "wholly deserved" to go to prison.

Celebrity Big Brother begins on January 3rd. Rumoured housemates include Jordan's cross-dressing former boyfriend Alex Reid, Pamela Anderson and rapper MC Hammer.

He claimed he had been robbed, but when police arrived to investigate they found a large quantity of cocaine in his flat.

He also has a 1977 juvenile conviction for going equipped for theft.

Boy George to be Locked Up Again?

Pop star Boy George is about to be banged up again, but this time it is in the Big Brother house, we can exclusively reveal.

The gender-bending pop star is already used to being confined in a small space. He was jailed earlier this year for imprisoning a rent boy in his flat.

Now he has been released, Boy George wants to sign up for the last series of Celebrity Big Brother.

The former Culture Club singer, 48, has turned down offers to appear on the show in the past. But now he has decided to give it a go and it is rumored he has bagged a $400,000 fee for agreeing to sign.

George said recently he is the happiest he has ever been and his stint in jail made him change for the better.

He said: “I had prison coming to me. It wasn’t that big a surprise, I kind of knew it was going to happen. I just thought: ‘I’m going to make this work for me.’ I got a job quite quickly and worked in the kitchen.”

A reliable source said: “Boy George will be explosive – get ready for Celebrity Big Brother to finish with a bang.”

Big Brother’s Jeff & Jordan to Appear onThe Bold and the Beautiful

After spending three months in a house of backstabbers, liars, and cheats, Big Brother’s dazzling duo Jordan Lloyd and Jeff Schroeder apparently haven’t had enough. The newly-minted couple will try their hand at scripted subterfuge with a pair of cameo roles on CBS’s daytime stalwart The Bold and the Beautiful. From BB to B&B. What is it about that abbreviation that these kids just can’t get enough of?

Needless to say, not even the antics of their former housemates Russell and Chima could prepare these two for their daytime debut. “Oh my God!” Jordan said in a recent interview, “I was so scared! I’ve never acted or anything like that. I only had one line, but I was like, ‘Please get this right, don’t mess up!’”

As for Jeff, cooler heads were prevailing. That is, at least until the 30-year-old got a look at the wardrobe. “It was an ’80s flashback,” he stated with a groan. “So I was wearing a vest attached to my shirt, and black pants with glitter thrown in there. I looked like a pirate, and not a cool pirate, but like a five-dollar costume you buy just before Halloween at the grocery store.”

To make matters worse was the wardrobe department’s attention to detail. “I even had to wear penny loafers,” Jeff says with a laugh, “with the pennies stuck in the front of them!”

And even though her nerves were getting the better of her, Jordan rose to the occasion in the end, just like she did in the BB house. “Part of my line was, ‘You’re big brother Storm will be so proud,’”Jordan says, “but I kept wanting to say, ‘You’re big brother Earl.’ It just sounded right to me, but I ended up nailing it in the first try.”

Not as fortunate as Jordan? Her “pirate” boyfriend, who needed a couple takes to get his line right. “Jordan was really nervous, and I wasn’t,” Jeff says, “and I’m the one that ends up flubbing his line. Go figure.”

The Bold and the Beautiful episode featuring Jeff and Jordan airs today (Tuesday, October 27th) on CBS.

Big Brother’s Jeff & Jordan: Officially Together!

For three months in the Big Brother house, theirs was the Showmance That Wasn’t. Jeff and Jordan had a chemistry that was undeniable but perplexing — although they made an adorable couple, their relationship seemed stuck at a perpetual slow boil.

Turns out getting back to the real world was just what they needed to turn up the heat because not only did Big Brother 11 winner Jordan walk away with half a million dollars, she also walked out of the house with a best-friend-turned-boyfriend.

“Yes we are!” Jordan Lloyd, 23, said in a recent interview when asked if she and Jeff Schroeder, 30, are finally an item. “We never really talked about it. It just kind of happened.”

The champ and America’s Favorite Player have been inseparable since the finale. For ad salesman Jeff, being away from the cameras and the competition opened his eyes to a different side of the small-town waitress who ended up capturing his heart.

“I liked her on the show, that was obvious,” he said, “but after the show ended I liked her even more. I get in trouble when I say that, because Jordan is like, ‘You didn’t like me on the show, and now you like me!?’ but what I mean is that I like her even more now that I see who she is outside of the BB house.”

That includes what Jordan has decided to do with her newfound wealth, which is to stand by her pre-show promise and buy her mother a home. “Right after the show,” she says, “I got on the Internet, but I couldn’t find anything, and to make matters worse, my mom was being so picky. But I finally found something, and when my mom looked at it she fell in love with it!”

Another effect of Jordan’s run on the show, her newfound celebrity, came into play when sitting down with the builders of the house. “We closed on Wednesday,” she said, “and I had put an offer on the house that was lower than what they were asking, and they took it because they were fans of the show, and they knew who I was. They just wanted an autograph, not even an autographed picture!”

And what does a new Lloyd family home mean for the happy couple? Well, for the first time in years, Jordan, who unabashedly admitted on national television to being forced to share a bedroom with her mother, finally has four walls to call her own. “I got my bed back!” she says. “My bed was at my best friend Chelsea’s house, and now I have that back for my room.”

After being locked up together for three months, and non-stop side-by-side, it’s hard for the pair to say that things have moved fast, but in the short period since season 11 ended, there have been trips to each other’s hometowns and meet-the-parents moments, although to these Big Brother veterans, those weren’t big feats.

“I thought that the biggest hurdle in a relationship was taking a dump in front of each other,” Jeff says with a laugh. “We cleared that in the Big Brother house. As far as the relationship goes we have a leg up. We’ve fast forwarded a year!”

As for whether or not things have gotten intimate, or to use Jordan’s bizarre euphemism, whether or not “booger” is in their immediate future, the Southern belle plays it close to her chest, and says with a laugh, “I think he’s waited long enough.”

Big Brother Winner in Big Trouble

At least last season's Big Brother winner, Adam Jasinski, is used to being locked in a big house and under constant surveillance. Because it looks like there's a good chance he'll be spending a lot of time in a similar place in the future.

Jasinski, 31, was arrested Saturday for using his $500,000 in prize winnings to buy thousands of pills of the controlled painkiller Oxycodone, which he then attempted to resell, authorities said.

The Delray Beach, Florida, resident reportedly confessed after trying to sell 2,000 of the pills to an undercover cop in Massachusetts.

Big Brother 11 Finale: Jordan Wins!

It's been a long road to travel, but last night 'Big Brother 11' finally ended. And thankfully, Natalie did not win! Congratulations are in order for Jordan Lloyd. This year's winner of the $500,000 prize.

Here's a recap of the finale show:

The top of the show was all about how the three remaining Houseguests psyched themselves out and lied to each other. Natalie asked Kevin if they were still sticking to their plan and he assured her that all systems are go. But, of course, he had no intention of taking her to the final two with him (yay Kevin!). Then Kevin asked Jordan if they were still sticking to their plan and Jordan told him to stop asking her because he's making her think that he's going to back out. Lastly, Jordan told Natalie that she is sticking to their plans for the final two - and she means it this time.

The show then went into the Jury House and showed Jeff wanting to see Kevin enter, Russell wanted anyone but Michele and Lydia predictably echoed Jessie's conviction that it will be Michele. So, when Michele walked in, Jessie cheers like a jerk, Jeff says "I'm so disappointed" and Russell told her that he had hoped she would win. Michele revealed details on the second Pandora's Box and how Natalie's boyfriend proposed to her. Jeff's response? "Was he a tool?" Without really answering, she continued on about how Natalie lied to everyone (again) about a double reversal.

It seemed that the Jury House had become pretty sour on Natalie at first, as they watched groaning at her antics, outfits and general attitude - going so far as to call her "Queen of the trailer park". But as we watched them debating on the final 3, it appeared that there wasn't a clear loser. While Natalie never won anything, Jeff was too stuck on his ire at Kevin and I thought that his desire for Jordan to win made others question how deserving she iwas to win. As Russell said, she was the nicest girl in the house but her only game move was attaching herself to Jeff. In the end, they all agreed to put it off until they are down to the final two.

At the final part of the HoH competition, Jordan and Kevin faced each other in a competition that was supposed to gage who knew the members of the Jury House best. It was neck and neck all the way through, forcing Julie to go to a tie breaking question. Which was when Jordan took the final win. Predictably, Jordan cast her vote to send Kevin to the Jury. She apologized to him profusely and it took him a moment to realize he's supposed to leave the house. Outside, Julie asked Kevin if he regretted evicting Michele and his head nearly exploded.

The Jury was brought out and when Kevin joined them, he collected hugs from everyone except Jessie. Even Jeff, though somewhat reluctantly, I'm sure. Lydia told Julie that there were two witches left in the house, which got a rounds of "OOoo!" from the audience. They wee allowed to ask Jordan and Natalie a series of questions, which amounted to the usual "Why do you deserve to win?", "What was your strategy?" followed by the predictable answers. The most interesting moment was when Lydia asked Natalie who she saw as her biggest threat in the jury house and what role she played in their eviction? Being a clearly personal question, Natalie answered just as Lydia would want to hear - that it was her. Michele also asked Natalie why it was so important for her to tell the Jury House about how she is "supposedly engaged". Natalie got a bit touchy and said there is no "supposedly" and that she wanted to share the good news with all her friends in the Jury House.

While casting their votes, the Jury House members were allowed to give a brief statement. Most were nondescript ("I voted strategically"), but Lydia gained the audience favor by coyly grinning "Jordan, I love a good blond". With Chima having been kicked off the show, America was the 7th juror and Julie locked in that vote. But before we got to find out what the count was, the four first evicted Houseguests were brought in.

During their segment, Ronnie brought up all Natalie's lies right away, shocking Kevin and Jordan with her real age, while Casey said the biggest mistake in the game was Jeff falling for Natalie and Kevin's lies about Russell.

Braeden was just impressed with how Jessie got all the girls in bed and no one wants to defend Chima. In fact, they were all still offended by her actions and it's consequences for her team. Ronnie admitted Michele was not the worst person ever, Jessie admitted that his relationship with Lydia was more than platonic, and Jeff agreed that Jordan is on the short list to go to Hawaii. The audience was less than pleased with him for not being more certain about her.

Finally we get to the votes! America cast 11 million votes for Jordan. Next we found out that Jessie voted for Jordan - which shocked everyone. Probably Natalie most of all. Next was Lydia - who also voted for Jordan, and that's it. Jeff would clearly have voted for Jordan, so we automatically knew she was this year's winner. We then heard Russell's vote - which went to Natalie, but then Jeff's vote came up and that's all she wrote. Michele also voted for Jordan and Kevin voted for Natalie.

With her winnings, Jordan mentioned she plans to put a down payment on a house for her family, help her cousins with college and maybe get a new car. Jeff was America's favorite Houseguest, which is not a shock at all. He won the $25,000 prize.

Congratulations to Jordan for winning an awesome season of Big Brother. Until next Summer for the 12th season of Big Brother.
