Jade Goody's cancer leaves her with months to live

Jade Goody may have lost her battle with cancer according to reports today. The reality TV star was said to have been informed by her doctors that her cervical cancer has spread to her groin, liver and bowel and she has months to live.



Doctors at the Royal Marsden Hosptial London broke the news to Jade after she had enquired why her Chemotherapy had been stopped.

Jade Goody first came to fame as a contestant on the 2002 edition for the reality TV programme Big Brother and went on to become arguably the biggest star the series has produced, living the event filled life that followed in the full glare of the media.

This event filled life has had many highs and lows including a racial outburst against Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty on the 2007 edition of Celebrity Big Brother. As an apology for this Jade agreed to take part in an Indian version of Big Brother, called Big Boss and it was while taking part in this programme that Jade was first informed she had cervical cancer.

She is now back at home with her two kids, Bobbie and Freddie, her mother Jackie and boyfriend Jack Tweed and coming to terms with what is now a drastically shortened future.

And the Winner of Celebrity Big Brother 2009 is ............

.....Drum roll - it is Ulrika-ka-ka-ka Jonsson.

Yes the Swedish bombshell (can we still call her that) has emerged as the somewhat surprising winner of the Celebrity Big Brother 2009 finale. It looks like Channel 4 who screened the series have got the winner they always wanted after they alledgedly paid Ms. Jonsson a whopping £175,000 appearance fee for the three week series, the most paid to any of the contestants.

Ulrika beat off the challenge of professional Mancunian and radio presenter Terry Christian.

So the final result is (in descending order of eviction).

Ulrika Jonsson (Winner)
Terry Christian
Coolio
Verne Troyer
Ben Adams
Tommy Sheridan
Latoya Jackson
Michelle Heaton
Mutya Buena (Walked off)
Tina Malone
Lucy Pinder

CBB is no Gangsta's Paradise as Coolio's evicted

Coolio's just been named as the first evictee from the final three in the Celebrity Big brother house. The American who came onto the show with a clear game plan to win seemed somewhat crest fallen when his name was called out.

This leaves broadcaster Terry Christian and TV personality Ulrika Jonsson in the final

We loved Coolio here at 15 Bytes, he provided so many of the classic moments of the series, but he was just too controversial for the British public. Coolio may be out, but for some inexplicable reason he's been stuck in the house for 30 minutes after being named.

Well Coolio we'll see you when you get here, anytime you get here....

Celebrity Big Brother finale: Ben out, Verne out....

The Celebrity Big Brother (CBB) finale kicked off this Friday with the last five housemates in the house and all to play for.


Well the results are rolling in and we have had our first set of evictees, first to go was 'boring' Ben from 90's boy band A1. No surprise there as apart from the suggestions of a CBB romance with Michelle Heaton he created few other talking points. Ben, just remember good looks alone can only take you so far.

The next eviction though was a shock, a big shock. The Bookies and media's favourite Verne Troyer aka Mini-Me from the Austin Powers films was the next out. What happened there, who knows may be it was his controversial snogging a plastic baby doll that did him in....eeeeew...

Well 2 down, 3 to go...

And Tommy follows.....

As the fifth evictee from Celebrity Big Brother. The Scottish socialist firebrand was probably the least well known housemate ever in CBB history, heck it is probably a stretch calling him a celebrity.

For all his lack of celebrity he can pride himself on being more popular than a Jackson, having beaten Latoya in the popularity stakes.

He may have been unknown before, but after he's definitely going to be the most popular Scottish socialist politician out there.

The five left from Friday's final are Coolio, Terry, Verne, Ben and Ulrika

Latoya Jackson is evicted from Celebrity Big Brother

Celebrity Big Brother races to its Friday final with a dual eviction this Wednesday and first to get the boot today is Latoya Jackson. Latoya becomes the fourth housemate to be evicted this series joining Michelle Heaton, Tina Malone and Lucy Pinder as evictees.

Latoya was initially very popular and tipped to go all the way but it seems her popularity waned once people got over the awe of another Jackson on Big Brother (her brother Jermaine did it last year) she also became increasingly accused of wage whispering campaign against housemates she didn't like.

She did get a warm reception from the eviction crowd though.

So Sorry Ms Jackson it looks like you've got to go.

Brits just love flashing.....

Ok not flashing in the not so nice way, but the whole flash mob mentality seems to be enjoying a resurgence, first there was the T-Mobile flash mob advert which was shown on Celebrity Big Brother and caused a huge buzz, not to be out done a whole lot of suburban folk protesting the expansion of London's Heathrow Airport had their own flash mob at the airport.

The dress code was topless or red shirt, it seemed to hinged around some kind of 'Slaughter' theme, not sure why, how or what.

Talking about Celebrity Big Brother we are loving Coolio. Not every one's taste but he's delivering the entertainment for us and that's why we watch....
