Who cares? Fair play to any of the housemates for making money out of this.
Futures of our BB starlets...
Alex - Brylcream Model. Paid a million. Wouldn't that p*ss some people off
Adele - The female Nasty Nick writing nasty column peices in the Star.
Jade - God damn this is a toughie. Probably why I'm not an agent
What could she do well? Gob for England? Not sure thats a job.
Hasnt Tim been offered a contract to promote "Control Freak" hair gel by Linx???? It was in the papers a couple of weeks ago
Johnny - He'll be the cheeky chappie that comes around at night and nuts you on some C4 Show. Johnny Nutter perhaps.
Kate - Some sidekick to a presenter.
Tim - Not sure you can give a job to a lynched toff
The rest. - If there lucky, obscurity. ”

mromega, I hope your assertion is not intended to be serious.
As someone whose occupation has involved dealings with the advertising industry, I would be VERY SURPRISED if he will not be paid a 6-figure sum at least, for such a well-known brand. Sara Lee is a huge multinational company and can well afford £1million, even if his advertising is limited to the UK market. I would have no reason to doubt that figure.
Even Spencer was reportedly offered £20,000 to advertise a comparatively obscure brand of teeth whitener.

I can't see that doing any favours for Brylcream, getting Beckham to do it was OK as lots of men out there want to be associated with one of the best footballers in the world, who is considered "cool" and has a great wife.
I'm not so sure many men out there want to be associated with a wet blanket, who walks and acts like a girl most of the time, and speaks in a whiney voice (ok one similarity with Becks). I certainly don't

I beg to differ. Brylcreem got a bad deal out of David Beckham, when he famously shaved his head barely after the ink on the contract had dried. Despite their denials, I know sources who tell me they were mighty upset as it made the whole premise of having Beckham endorsing the product rather ridiculous.
Alex has hair that I suspect most men (even Alex-haters if they are being honest) would aspire to; thick, looks great wet/ dry/ whatever style he does it, and with seemingly little effort required. I have yet to see him having a 'bad hair day' - his hair even looks good on waking first thing in the morning!
Advertising strategies are aimed towards selling an aspiration - in this case having hair looking as effortlessly good as Alex's. The profile of the endorsing celebrity needs to relate to this - once Beckham had got rid of his flowing locks, the attraction he had relating to Brylcreem for potential customers was lost...buying Brylcreem will not make you a great football player.
Anyway I am certain they will have learnt their lesson and ensure a "no shaving" clause in Alex's contract!
PS. You seem to have let your somewhat homophobic dislike of Alex cloud your prejudices. One of your objections to him is that he "acts like a girl" -- so what about Beckham's new penchant for wearing pink nail varnish? Or have you decided that is now a manly thing to do?

Jonny has stated in the house he is using his time in there to decide whether to just carry on being a fireman or going full time touring with his band. The went on to say he thinks he will be doing the band stuff. Kate questioned him if the others will be willing to pack in their jobs and he said they would.
Yesterday when asked why he became a fireman he said it was because his mother gave him the advert and told him to apply saying to make something with his life. He obviously hadn't chosen that career himself and will drop it the moment he gets a chance.
With his past acting roles I would say he has always been a wannabe and tried desperately only his parents pushed him into a worthy career.

I don't have a homophobic dislike of Alex or anyone, anyway as far as I was concerned he isn't gay, if he was it wouldn't change any opinion of him I have. Last year I wanted Brian to win for most of the show and think he's great. I judge each person as individuals not on sexual preference etc.
I still feel that having Alex advertise Brylcream will do the company no favours as most of the men I know think he is a wet blanket. And no I don't think that wearing nail varnish is a manly thing to do, but each to their own.
