maybe he should get better agents? ”

I sort of agree but rather than getting new agents he should get a newsagents.

It will be for a show entiled Alex's newsagent (just like Jamies kitchen). It will follow Alex as he trains paperboys (and girls) for a new venture he is setting up in Walthamstow London. It will be hilarious as he gets cheek from the paper boys and does his trade mark "oooohhhh" noise. Cameras will follow him 24hrs, and include him getting up at 6am to "mark the papers up for delivery".

Only Alex could pull this one off. Does anyone agree that this will be great?

Alex Sibley is/was crap on whatever naff TV show his agent has chosen for him to appear on.

He came 3rd in BB3 because he is a wuss. He is not getting any TV work because he is a wuss. There lies the truth!.

Sadly your truth isn't everyone elses.
Can I recommend a good book on the subject?

I think the link Tamara provided should be taken into account as to judging Alexs role in society

Alex being himself

Great idea Deaddog.

On the Jamie's kitchen theme, how about 'Alex's Soup Kitchen'?

Join Alex Sibley as he takes a month out from his apparently busy schedule to do some voluntary work feeding the homeless.
Day one: A homeless man offers his meal to Alex suggesting 'he looks like he needs it more than I do'.

Or possibly 'Alex's Hell's Kitchen'
Our cameras follow as Alex Sibley is let loose on the mean streets of New York City.
Day Three: Alex is beaten to within an inch of his life by an eight year old boy.

I've noticed something about all the press for this show, dispite the fact that Film stars, polititians and some big sports stars have been caught out,look who C4 have decided to feature in all their press releases.Even choosing his clip as one of thir little tasters, to attract viewers.

They are very clever, they know how to attact an audience, I bet the couldn't beleive their luck they had a major crowd puller like Alex in there show...you've got to admire the savvy of these PR people

I can't help but notice that some of the male FMs here are far more bitchy than any of the female FMs, and it's always about Alex. I wonder why.

The PR people are so clever and savvy that they've put the show up against two good films, "The Talented Mr Ripley" with Matt Damon, Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow on BBC1 and "28 Days" with Sandra Bullock on Five.
It might just about register on the radar.

Touché (in a way). However, criticism and bitchiness are not the same thing. Many of the negative comments about Kate are simply justified criticism. Personally, I would much rather be critical of Jade, but Kate is the one who is currently providing copious amounts of ammunition.

Go check your Tv guides/newspaper's for more info.

Heres what the Daily Telegraph tvguide says

THE PILOT SHOW, E4
"The animals will never feel the same about you, so its a bit of a dead end on the love front," Trude Mostue gently says to a man who confides his attraction to cows on Celebrity Advice Bureau, just one of the fake television pilots featured in this hilarious compendium of D-list celebrity humiliation.

Also making fools of themselves for our delectation are Alex Sibley, star of Out Of The Closet - 'where celebrities surprise a fan by leaping literally out of a closet',
Hearsay Shrek lookalike Danny Foster, whos inches away from signing up to Danny Foster's Gatwick North Terminal,
and Dean Gaffney, very interested in Soul Survivor, which would require him to find starsky and hutch star David Soul 'who's hiding somewhere'.




oh, and i had to look up the dictionary to see what delectation means.... its a big word for me

I can't argue with that............................however....................I do think that comments about what she wears is more to do with bitchiness than criticism because I always think she looks ok............perhaps it's me thats got no style and should get in touch with those two women, to ridicule me on national TV.

Its not so much what she wears is it. I thought the main criticism was that - uniquely amongst female presenters - she manages to flash her pants on a regular basis.

If a bloke was doing the same on TV I think people might also comment.

I actually like what she wears recently if you ignore the shoes.
The girl's got a good stylist.
One could argue that the skirts may be a bit inappropriate for am tv but she wears some great tops, normally the clothes are good I'll give her (or the stylists) that.
That is not my gripe with her as a presenter.

that might be the idea, the less people watch it the better it is for him.

Never mind clever or savvy, i say how thoughtful of them

The truth is out......Alex Sibley has left the closet.

I hate to say it but it was one of the funniest things I've seen this year!

It reminded me that, although there were loads of things I liked about Alex in BB, the thing I liked best was how funny he was. He and Jade kept me laughing for the whole summer - which is why I adored BB3 and why BB4 didn't even come close.

Thanks Gorgeous, you were brilliant.

darling: how much is he paying you.???????
darling
08-09-2003
He doesn't need to pay me to tell the truth Avolon. He's a naturally funny guy. And its a nice quality to have.

It always got me that when they came out of the BB house and they were asked what they hoped to be remembered for Jonny said something like "putting a smile on the nation's face".

You wished, I thought to myself......

I wasn't going to watch 'The pilot Show', but I did after all and am glad I did, as Alex wasn't too bad on there, I quite enjoyed watching him, as usual.

Frank Bruno's laugh, wasn't that scarey.

He was a total embarrassment, how you as a fan can happily watch Alex (Sibley) make an arse of himself is beyond me. If no one tells him how foolish he was, he'll make the SAME mistakes again and again! I am I the only Alex fan who wants him to have a successful career and not to be stuck doing crappy satellite shows and doing "guest" appearances on crappy shows?

I know I must respect all posters here, and I do, but it is making me really angry that Alex career is now effectively on the same level as Jonnys, but I cant help but feel that the attitude expressed by some posters here is exactly the same attitude that has destroyed his career to date.

Look at Kate, she doesn't have a load of hangers on and sycophants telling her "what she wants to here", instead she has proper advisors, who would say "jumping out of a closet will make you look stupid, don't do it)
