Makosi is an Actress!

[Arneldo]

Sky news has just shown a headline from THE SUN which states Makosi is an actress!!!

[Jay]

so how come she is aloud to win

[~Kizwiz~]

[Lance]

Meh,go her if she is.Fooled you all.:laugh:

[Wow_What_A_Show]

well.... i was close i said eugiene was...... lol

[Mike]

I dont believe she is an actress..

[Nature]

you sure they dont mean she acts in real life???

[Jay]

if makosi was an actress she wouldnt be aloud to win

[Wow_What_A_Show]

no...but they could evict her from the last 2..... they're not stupid..Derek thinks she is too, in fact he more or less says she is..

[Wow_What_A_Show]

*Allowed*

[Red Moon]

Even if she is an actress it doesn't mean she is in the pay of Channel 4!

[Jay]

she isnt if this was the case how come it was her and makosi who faced the housemates vote

[OPL73]

BIG Brother housemate Makosi is really an ACTRESS, The Sun can sensationally reveal.

Makosi, 24, is on the books of a talent agency said to have invoiced the show makers for £609.68.....

I can't get the online article so you will just have to buy 'The Fabrication'


Make of it what you will. It's in The Sun. The tabloid that always tells the truth.

Well if she's an amateur actress, just starting out and has not been in anything fair enough....

Does it say anything in the rules about not being an actress?

Rubbish. I'll be glad when it all ends.

[Lance]

Meh....she'll be in high demanafter the show show becasue if she is an actress she put in a very convincing performance.

[Ruth]

If she is an actress so what? I would be annoyed if she was employed by BB as an actress inside the house, but only because people have spent money voting for her to stay/go, but if that's her job, seems fair enough.

True, the majority of people taking part on BB, use is as a stepping stone to bigger things, then the fade quietly into
nonentity.

[Red Moon]

Personally I think that it just might be some talent agency she signed up, probably years ago, to trying to make some money out of channel 4. A lot of people who want to appear of TV sign-up for to agency to find walk on parts.

[kemal]

no what it is she is on an agency website where people who are producers of movies e.t.c go to find actresses and one of the companies linked with the website helped her to put a professional video together for her audition which would help her to get in!!!!!

They have now invoiced big brother for the £609 the video cost!!!!

Apparantly Endemol who own the show regularly go to this website and ask for people that would like to go on the show because they know that they are likely to be bright and bubbly people!!! However endemol are denying this and are saying that they have never heard of the website!!!!!

[GlitterEyes]

Yet another rumour close to the end, actress or not she shouldnt win she is nasty.

[Tanser_Man]

You've only just realised?

Ever thought about having a brain transplant people.

[GlitterEyes]

I dont believe it until its confirmed its just moe hype to get the main focus all on her towards the end.

[Red Moon]

Has anyone found the website yet.... When I was looking out for stuff about Makosi on the net early on in the show I couldn't anything.

Aye, that's why I made the above sarcastic comment. I hate most tabloids, especially The Mirror.

[James]

The website is http://www.envenio.com/. The Sun also shows Makosi's e-mail address and mobile phone number, incidently.

I bought The Sun today to read this but I'm afraid it's a bit of a non-story really. So people who want to get into showbiz apply for Big Brother. I think we knew that. Also we knew that Endemol don't just rely on the public auditions.

In fact the most interesting part of the article is that they show a picture of Makosi with her real hair! :hugesmile:

We are talking about on this thread:

http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=36888

There are some pictures James has got off the live feed too.

[1_In_A_Million]

she looks a bit strange but that might just be because i'm so used to her wearing her wig

[Red Moon]

Back to the subject of the thread.

I guess if we hunted around we might find one or two more of the housemates have agents for causal TV work. Didn't say he Kemal been on quiz shows?

[1_In_A_Million]

well i suppose as long as they arn't major actors/actress or if they've been on a quiz show like once it doesn't really matter

[Dr.G]

I've just seen the article in the sun it would certainly explain the reason why she's had so many secret tasks to perform and some of her bizarre antics.
If this turns out to be true a lot of people are going to lose interest in Big Brother....Makosi may in fact be the death of the series.

[Slartibartfast]

LOL, we made fun of Kemal for weeks for thinking that Makosi was an actress/mole, and now the Sun (of all papers, come on) publish a made up story and people are believing it!!

http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=36891

It looks like you Makosi haters can stop celebrating, it seems to be a load of rubbish.

[Dr.G]

Hmm I'm not convinced tbh. Endemol are bound to want to try and cover this up if its true for the aforementioned reasons.

[Nikkos]

The sun has printed an invoice that was made from Endemol to the supposed acting company Makosi works for for the price of £609.68

It then shows her profile as she joined giving a picture of her with long braided hair.

Contact: Makosi Musambasi
Telephone: 07944540740
Web Address: n/a
Email Address: andile_99@yahoo.co.uk

The article reads "Big Brother's Makosi Musambasi brags of being an "actress, presenter, compere and dancer" on a showbiz website.

It goes onto talk about this "Envenio" company, saying "Envenio BOASTS about getting makosi on the show - and says it send dozens more hopefuls to appear.

BB Production company Endemol claims never to heard of Envenio, although The Sun has seen documents which appear to show the contrary.

The source explains how Makosi was whisked through the audition process and straight into the house, replacing one CHARLOTTE BARNS from Canterbury only hours before Charlotte was set to be told she was going into the house. Claims of her being a nurse are TRUE and she hasn't lied about anything she has said in the house in terms of her background...she just hasn't said anything about it.

An Endemol insider said: "Fans will be furious. The idea of Big Brother is that it's about ordinary folk, not actresses.

Message from Admin: Can you please avoid thread titles in capital letters in future and from using capitals in posts. Thanks for cooperation.


BTW there is a follow up artical here: http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=36891

[GlitterEyes]

Anyone actually rang the number? Lol

[Nikkos]

i did lol t-mobile answer serive.

sorry admins but i copied it exactly how it was

[GlitterEyes]

If they were smart they would of linked it so it would call up her number and people would be conned into voting for her but *cough* enough on that.

[Nikkos]

BTW[/quote]
Message from Nick Do not use capital letter lol

[Red Moon]

No problem - I know the The Sun and the Mirror use capitals in headlines Nick.... but it just looks out of place on the threads index and draws attention to the post over others.

Did the Sun say:

IT IS ALSO REPORTED THE COMPANY HAS PAID TENS OF THOUSANDS OF POUNDS USING AUTOMATIC REPEAT PHONES TO RING THE NUMBER FOR MAKOSI TO WIN ALL WEEK

[GlitterEyes]

Makosi says that if any women ask her for an autograph she will refuse claiming they will sell it on Ebay, She then said im going to ask my manager to make sure nobody makes a penny off her talent !! How low can she get...stupid woman!

Malicious
Abhorrent
Krusty
Obnoxious
Slimebucket
Insufferable

[GlitterEyes]

If that is true then everyone has a right to be annoyed at the show.

[Nikkos]

no i heard it somewhere, but i can see em doing it, i mean wouldnt you if someone from your comapny was in bb? and if ya had that kinda money lol.

i also heard that this company voted saskia out cos she was a threat in terms of exploiting makosi, and voted oraith when 6 faced eviction cos they knew vanessa would get a few votes and it would avoid makosi being up against her fellow housemates

[GlitterEyes]

So you added that on the end? Lol

[Red Moon]

Don't think so.... it will take between 2,500,000 to 3,000,000 calls to make sure someone would win.

That would cost - assuming she has 1,000,000 votes - between £525,000 and £700,000.

[Nikkos]

yea i added it on, lol, sayng apparently

[Dr.G]

Looks like the fecal matter is about the hit the proverbial fan!

[lily.]

yup. I'd say so

[ThaGazBoi]

I dont think its true, According to AOL news they are going to take libel actions any time soon

[ThaGazBoi]

Big Brother bosses have launched an inquiry following claims that naughty nurse Makosi is an actress, according to a newspaper report.

The 24-year-old is said to have joined London's Envenio agency, which describes itself on the Internet as the UK's biggest Web site for helping people "like you" appear in films, TV programmes, reality shows, photo shoots, music videos and adverts.

It also says that the Big Brother programme-maker, Endemol, is a client.

The Sun claims a £609.68 bill was sent to Endemol for studio hire, tapes and photos - allegedly relating to Makosi's audition tape

The paper says it has a copy of an invoice from Envenio's sister company, The Casting Suite, to Endemol.

The paper was told by an Endemol spokesman: "It is possible we advertised through Envenio, we do advertise widely for people to audition.

"But Makosi went through the proper audition process and was not fast-tracked in any way.

"We do not know what the invoice relates to. We are investigating."

Envenio has confirmed Makosi was on its books.

Envenio's chief executive, Paul Booth, admitted sending her details of the Big Brother auditions.

But he denied the firm had made her a professional audition tape, and said the £609.68 invoice obtained by The Sun was unrelated to Makosi.

Mr Booth told the Press Association: "As far as we know, Makosi is not an actress. She signed up for our new faces section, which is for members of the public who aspire to be involved in the business. She put her details on our Web site.

"We emailed Makosi details of the Big Brother auditions, just like we emailed a lot of our members.

"We connect our members with the TV companies but it is no different to a company walking down the street looking for people.

"The invoice is from our sister company, The Casting Suite, and was for a completely separate job we did for Endemol."

Mr Booth said his company had supplied members of the public for various Channel 4 and E4 shows, such as A Place In The Sun, and supplied extras for films including Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.

Makosi paid £75 to advertise her details on its site, and had her photograph taken by the firm's photographer.

An Endemol spokesman also said the invoice was for a separate job unrelated to the Big Brother housemates.


AOL news (http://www.aol.co.uk/webcentres/ents/6.html)

[GlitterEyes]

This is just drumming up some hype before the final, it was pretty flat beforehand.

[lily.]

Yeah, you may be right. Makosi will enjoy knowing that she was in the limelight when she gets out. We all know how much she loves the attention!

She won't win though. And, I shall be here watching her lose! Mwahahahahahahaha!

[ThaGazBoi]

and i shall be watching Anthony not win :-D seeing as eugene is fave again

[ThaGazBoi]

i dont belive it

[Sticks]

Oh ye of short memories

Remember that Narinda (BB2) had been an actress in Bollywood before she did Big Brother :nono:

[Sunny_01]

I dont think that the article actually says she has been employed as an actress for BB. My understanding of it was that they had asked for people to apply but they ask for people from all walks of life to apply. I dont think we should be jumping on this so quickly. After all it was the Sun that published the article and they reckon Elvis is alive and there are buses on the moon!

[Ashley_Bash]

what it tells u her mobile number?

[OPL73]

Bumped up because peopel are posting threads ont he same thing.

[harry]

See my post about her "Slip up" - one has to be bright to lie and she made a mistake

Yeah Sunny I think it's great the way the Sun can bend the truth so much...and it's even better how they can plant the false thoughts into peope's heads...just goes to show how gullable and naive some people are.Well then some just choose what they want to believe...God if it was "Ant's an actor" it would be brushed aside without hesitation.

C'mon guys it's The Sun and both Endemol and the agency have straightened out the story...but have The Sun reported on that...erm don't think so?!Talk about sensationalism.:rolleyes:

The story from what both Endemol and the agency have said is that Endemol pay agencies to raise awareness of BB auditions and recruit people to go to auditions.The agency sends it's clients who want to be on telly to these auditions and in return get paid for recruitment.Is that hard to understand?

There are millions of companies and agencies out there who do this.Funny though how it was all to target Makosi...obviously The Sun are pro-Eugene...sad that they have to resort to these kind of tactics though.:rolleyes:

[harry]

I don't think it has anything to do with the Sun - the girl has been lying through her teeth from day one.

[GlitterEyes]

Birmingham Post, Monday 1st August 2005:
"...being on a casting agent's books can be a stepping stone to reality TV, which can in turn lead to other work. Makosi Musambasi, now second-favourite to win the current series of Big Brother, is just one of the hopefuls on Envenio's books...Your photo, contact details and a brief CV are put in an online searchable database and casting directors will contact you directly if they want to use you."

But it has only been since that Sun story that her odds have slipped to 33-1....erm what a coincidence?!

[GlitterEyes]

Then congratulations the sun for once, done something useful...makosi slipped because people hate her and more and more fans have dropped her not just because of an article.

Latest odds:

Eugene 2/5
Anthony 15/8
Makosi 40/1
Kinga 80/1

[Sunny_01]

So what does that mean then Red - me being a little bit blonde means that I still have no idea who is favourite to win?:bouncy:

[Red Moon]

Eugene is favorite followed by Anthony, Makosi and then Kinga

[Sunny_01]

Ok - I have not seen any newspapers today has anything else been said about Makosi? has it blwon her out of the water? will she stand any chance at all of winning the show?

:dog:

[*PlayGirl*]

Yup Moloko's an actress... Her ''company'' paid Endemol £609.68p to get her a place in the house and fast-tracked her through the audition process!

[RandomGirl]

Makosi still has a chance, look at the previous years. Scott was popular and ended up third. Plus alot of voters still havent voted and will vote tonight...the only one who doesnt stand a chance is kinga.

[*PlayGirl*]

I think it'll be :

4th - Kinga
3rd - Moloko
2nd - Ant
1st - Eugene

ANT TO WIN!

[Red Moon]

Haven't found much about Makosi, but I did find a story about Eugene and a reliant Robin.

According to The Sun...take that into consideration.

Erm yeah Sunny they have a page on it today,Derek moaning about it and stuff..still though Endemol and the agency are sticking with everything that I wrote above which is a lot more likely.

People have an excuse not to like Makosi now though,so they are grasping it with both hands and aren't gonna let go.Even though it is from The Sun.

[Sunny_01]

I dont like Makosi but still dont think there is anything sinister in her being in the house. Why shouldnt someone who wants to be a celebrity go into the house, isnt that kind of the whole reason why a lot of them og in there???

Anthony to win :dog:

[Lance]

Exactly Sunny,I do not think that BB went to this company specifically to look for an actor to go into BB.

Like I have said...BB probably has paid out to many agencies out there like this one to get people to coe to auditions,and Makosi just happened to come from an agency and now it's all been exposed as a scam and tbh it's very sensationalist...so it's a lot easier for people to believe.

All a lot of people did was read the headline and the first couple of lines of the article and then they make their presumption but if you actually read through it all you can see the real sense in it...BB didnn't directly hire Makosi,they went through the agency to get people to audition.

[Sunny_01]

Totally agree Lance - when you read further into the article you saw that she was not hired by BB, the company were hired by BB to put forward potential HMs.

Even though I dont like her I dont like some of the things that have been said about her to make her look even worse than I think she is!

[Lance]

Well at least someone else here has a bit of sense,thank you for keeping me sane Sunny.
