I just read on DS some girl called Georgia Salpa that no one has heard of is entering the house tonight to launch her career, I thought you already had to have a career in the first place. Apparently she slept with Calum Best, so that makes her a Zeleb!, Give me a break!

I'd be surprised if there was more than one of two genuine celebs in there.
The last few series seem to be populated by people who have been on other reality shows (translates as famous for being famous) or people who have celebrity status for sleeping with someone famous - and then selling the story likely as not.
I won't be watching it
How does a weekend in Gozo sound?
I once saw Nigel Havers walk past me in the street, does that make me a Zeleb, where's my fee? 
You thought they had to be a celebrity to enter Celebrity Big Brother Poolie? Haven't you been watching it for the last 4 or 5 years? 
At least half of the people who have gone on it have been utter bloody nobodies. Last year (or was it the year before?) that Russian bird who shagged Ronnie Wood was on there, and went into the house with a chorus of 'who are ya? who are ya?' from the audience. 
It's ridiculous isn't it? Surely there must be a few more people who are well known who want to go in?!
I think we have to ask ourselves what the word Celebrity means today, in fact it means nothing, it is quite possibly one of my most detested words in the English language!

I know! Maddening ain't it?!
A 'Celebrity' used to be someone who had worked hard and was celebrated for their talent and awesomeness, and now we have Katie Price and Kim Cardashian and really gifted and hard-working people like them. 
So many people are famous for nothing, famous for being famous, famous for shagging footballers, and famous for sleeping with MPs and selling the story to the press amongst many other silly reasons..
A woman on telly this morning was a mistress for 20 years and had affairs with many married men, and she is getting a tv programme out of it and has written a book about it! What the actual F**K?! THAT is a prime example of how 'celebrity' has gone stupid!

I really really hate the word, but it's coz of dumbass people like the girls I work with who worship shite like TOWIE and all those other crap shows that these people exist. I try to tell them but they say I am just jealous that I'm not in their shoes, WHAT?!

LOL. I have to say Poolie: I DETEST those kind of programmes, and how they have made 'stars' out of talentless and pointless nobodies. TOWIE, Geordie Shore, the Chelsea one, that Kardashian shite, Katie Price bollocks.. the list is endless.
When will it all end?

That is utterly disgusting. I don't think she is any better or worse than the married men who slept with her - they are equally bad in my book.
But to get a tv show and fame out of wrecking peoples marriages and damaging the kids - that is the lowest of the low

Could not agree more veggie.
The woman is called Sarah Symonds. And she has been on Oprah and all sorts.. She is flagged up on youtube as a 'celebrity mistress.'

Hope that works.. if not just go onto youtube and put her name in.
here is the link to her on the Lorraine Kelly site.

Apparently she is now a reformed character (so she says,) but that doesn't take away the fact that she is making money and getting fame out of being a cheap tart. Her mother must be so proud...
