They tend to piss money up the wall on unknown Americans and I assume this eats into the budget .

I assume most of what this forum terms the bigger names just asked for a lot more than they though they would

Clearly these rumoured housemates were not the first choices.

I am just dreading Willis introducing them as some of your favourite housemates if all time

apparently (according to The Sun) he is Kim Kardashian's former bedtime buddy. He is also the cousin of rapper Snoop Dogg.

Hmm OK. I always find these 'big expensive' stars to be boring.

That's utterly ridiculous for a mostly unknown person.

He's been tending on Twitter for majority of today, if he brings a lot of publicity to BBUK, then I guess they feel it's money worth spent.

He's a singer/actor/TV personality in his own right as well some of his songs done decently in the early 2000s . His Sister is RnB singer Brandy cousin is Snoop Dogg and was said to to have dated Whitney Houston and of course Kim K so yeah he's quite a decent signing for them .

the people who won the show before won't do it again i don't think. Back when Mark Owen did the show for instance he was in there 10 days and won because he was a likable guy and in an old school format of the show. And some years we actually got to see the people behind the public personas and learn about their lives and careers. Nowadays it is too scripted for it to be worth risking careers for.

Yes but the tweets will be from the states , if this guy has been paid a fortune which I doubt it's ridiculous .

Spend the big money on the uk names and the peanuts on unknown Americans

I honestly do not believe he's getting that much for a second.

Wouldn't that make him one of, if not the highest paid CBB contestants?

No way. I know who he is, and I know he has the links to Whitney and Kim Kardashian (along with having a more famous sister), but I cannot begin to imagine anyone believing he is worth that much?!

Trending on Twitter isn't that big a deal. A lot of it will be retweets (and bot retweets) of the articles about who's going in tonight and who's being paid what. At a glance, that's what it mostly seems to be - not many excited Ray J fans. Also, there will prob be porn spam bots tweeting links to his video with Kim K...

oh I agree, but, any decent British Celeb wouldn't touch BB with a barge poll... we're left with wannabe Z listers & desperate reality "stars"

The ONLY reason he was cast is because of his sex tape with Kim Kardashian.

That's it. Not his R&B music or anything to do with him at all.

And jim Davidson and Linda Nolan? Or "Sir" Lionel Blair? Or Julie Goodyear and Julian Clary?

the show only exists for cross promotion deals, and to call any of the suggested line up "stars" is simply ludicrous.

Snoop Doggy Dog's Cousin my ar*e!!!

£810000 is a huge amount of money, we could have got 2 or 3 pretty big British stars with that cash.

He escaped and left the house for hours without any of the security/cameras knowing

I don't recall that, although I recall recent series over the last 2 years with people doing that and being allowed back in.

Wasn't that first CBB for charity anyway, it's not like they were being paid.

ETA: From what I can find, he ran outside when somebody was being evicted, to say hello to his wife, and was sent back inside. Hardly 'hours'.

he also escaped without anyone knowing at another point but it was only for half an hour and he was found and brought back.
