For this and all previous celebrity big brothers, can we list all rumored celebrites who were suggested to take part in the show? (such as Anna Nicole Smith the year before she died) Also how much were the selected celebrities paid to participate on their selected series?
I disagree, Wikipedia is not a rumor mill. That sort of thing is unecessary.--Hiltonhampton (talk) 18:43, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
As with many other celebrity reality series in the UK, the media, particularly the red-top tabloids, frequently falsely name celebrities as definitely taking part in a show taking place in the near future. They often claim that they have (seen) the secret list of contestants, or have been told by people close to the celebs concerned. In reality, they are telling lies in order to sell more copies of their papers. If the celebs have not been officially confirmed as appearing, then they should not be mentioned on an encylopedia. The idea that rumours / lies / false info should be added if multiple sources have reported it is ridiculous. There are many lowbrow media sources in the UK that often report untruths as though they are facts, and when it is reported in one place, others will copy it, and try to outdo their competitors by adding some extra names as well.

I am shocked and appalled to read that the press sometimes make stuff up. Have they never heard of being encyclopaedic? Anyway, the consensus among the cognscenti is that the following will appear -
Verne Troyer - Mini Me from Austin Powers
La Toya Jackson - Sister of Michael Jackson
Ulrika Jonsson - Went out with Sven-Göran Eriksson, did some TV presenting
Ben Adams - Singer from Anglo-Norwegian boy band A1
Mutya Buena - Singer from Sugababes
Tommy Sheridan - former Member of the Scottish Parliament, presently on bail awaiting trial on perjury charges
Tina Malone - Plays Mimi Maguire on Shameless
Coolio - American rapper and actor
Terry Christian - British radio and TV presenter
Michelle Heaton - Singer in Liberty X —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.69.231.75 (talk) 04:28, 30 December 2008 (UTC) 79.69.151.53 (talk) 23:17, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
Since a lot of editors will be here I thought I might post this here as well. I have an idea to revamp the Wikiproject and ways to make the project more efficient and helpful with Big Brother. To see my idea go to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Big Brother#Project Revamp. Thanks. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 05:16, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Consider lucking this page until all announcements have been made? Fascinating to watch it flow back and forth, but... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.7.66.252 (talk • contribs) 21:48, 2 January 2009
Housemates announced now.81.96.131.189 (talk) 22:26, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
I think it should be semi-protected to stop the vandalism, plus the list of housemates is incomplete Msalmon (talk) 22:57, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
Has anybody got a source for this, if not then page needs changing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.100.221.196 (talk) 15:45, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
There is no source as to who Terry nominated - he didn't actually even nominated - I will undo every change relating to nominations until it's been announced on Official Site or on the Highlights Show. --BigOz22 (talk) 20:40, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Sirrontail, the housemates are supposed to be in alphabetical order by their first name, not their surname, like it has been in the past series. See Celebrity Big Brother 2007 (UK) - SamK1994 (talk) 22:13, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
I have removed a lot of content from this section, as it has not been sourced. It is particularly important that all content here is sourced, since the section deals with living people. Tra (Talk) 17:03, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
Can we not change the color that indicates Head of House? I think hard to depict between it and the color we have for nominated housemates. --79.77.212.151 (talk) 00:42, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
If anyone has the info at hand and can be bothered, the daily summary needs to be updated/added for the second week onwards. Feudonym (talk) 05:18, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
Since Tommy annoounced on BBBM his reason for doing the show was for the money 60,500 we should list how much money the contestestant received. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cooly123 (talk • contribs) 16:59, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
This is worth mentioning since it has been reported excessivily in the media since the series has started.--Cooly123 23:08, 19 February 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cooly123 (talk • contribs)
I have a question and a fact;
What was the song they had to play on the giant piano?
Ben scaring someone as a dinosaur is a reference to Toy Story I think, with Rex being a shy dinosaur.

The daily summary is written by someone with very poor English. It reads as if a 13 year old girl has written it. I've corrected any major errors I can see but I'm not so hot with English myself so hopefully someone else could give it a go. Adz657 (talk) 19:52, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
At the begining of this and all celebrity big brother's ( and why not general big brothers as well) let's list Davina's opening.
Example: Celebrity Big Brother 2009 "Ladies and Gentlemen, the ego's have landed".

I know we've only just finished a complicated renaming of every single Big Brother UK article, but disambiguation is not necessary here, as not only are none of the other CBBs called "Celebrity Big Brother 8", but none of them have even reached eight series. Unreal7 (talk) 18:34, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
