View Full Version : Who is the most Famous Worldwide?
It will obviously be Bobby Brown when he enters the house tonight but out of the current housemates who is?
Tara Reid - Pretty well known by everyone who has watched American Pie 1+2
Jedward/Kerry Katona - Household names over here but hardly heard of anywhere else
Darryn Lyons - His website is more famous then him
Paddy Doherty - fairly well known in the UK but unless you've watched the show he is on you probably wouldn't know who he is
Amy Childs - Only well known recently over here
Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff - Have no idea how famous she was back in the day or even now
Bobby Sabel - Not even a celebrity unless your really clued up with Modelling chances are you won't know who he is
Lucien Laviscount - Even die hard coronation street fans would have a hard time remembering the person he played in the show and the actors name
Sally Bercow - Name appears in the papers now and again someone you know more by name rather then face

Lucien would be more recognized for being on Waterloo Road than Corrie to be honest.
Tara is pretty well known as the girl from american pie, but I dont actually think many people know HER. But out of all of them Id say her.

Tara Reid is the most well known as most people have heard of her name.
Jedward are well known across europe,but away from europe there not that well known.
Then Kerry Katona has to take 3rd spot just because shes very well known over here unlike the others below the top 3.

I'm in the US. If I didn't watch BBUK I would never have heard of Jedward. They are not famous here.

I would say TARA everybody has seen American Pie plus she is mates with Paris Hilton and other American celebs

Sounds about right. I'll take your word over 'but this guy on YouTube has millions of views and he mentioned them!' guy.

Tara.
A few people will know Jedward worldwide aswell because of Eurovision. But they'll know them as "those two little pricks", and not Jedward.
Think most people will have heard of Mr Paparrazi at one stage, but wouldn't him by his real name.
Before last night I used to call him **** Perez Hilton.
It's funny because I knew who every single one of them are so in my eyes it's a good line up, worldwide fame goes to Tara I think.

Tara, a lot of people have seen American Pie/Van Wilder... Jedward are quite famous now too though, I guess.
I was really surprised that I knew all of them though, haha.

It will obviously be Bobby Brown when he enters the house tonight but out of the current housemates who is?
Tara Reid - I still say most people in the USA might recognize the name due to it sort of being 'forced' into notoriety by tabloids.. and yet, not actually recognize her by face or role in anything.
Jedward/Kerry Katona - Household names over here but hardly heard of anywhere else
Jedward actually got a little bit of notice outside the UK. I think there might have been a few clips of them in the USA version of the show and a few internet youtube views.
But you are right on - nobody outside the UK knows what a Kerry Katona is.
Darryn Lyons - His website is more famous then him
Heh yes. No clue whatsoever who he is or what he does.
Paddy Doherty - fairly well known in the UK but unless you've watched the show he is on you probably wouldn't know who he is
It just so happened one of the US channels aired a few of the UK 'Gypsy' reality TV episodes and I think it caught on with Americans .. a few friends were asking me about it lol
Paddy was in one episode for some reason (not a central figure) but you know.. of anyone he could actually become famous in the USA
Amy Childs - Only well known recently over here
Have no idea who she is lol.. yea zero people outside UK I suspect.
Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff - Have no idea how famous she was back in the day or even now
Is this David Hasselhoff's wife? He is actually quite famous worldwide. Often celebrity wives become famous in their own right (Sharon Osbourne or Linda Hogan),
but,
I have never heard or seen her in anything (not reality shows, or anything) in any USA media.
Then again I have no idea if I'm missing it or what?
Bobby Sabel - Not even a celebrity unless your really clued up with Modelling chances are you won't know who he is
I suppose I probably saw him in some advert but honestly those models are all generic to me. Has he been in any acting roles or does he sing or something?
Lucien Laviscount - Even die hard coronation street fans would have a hard time remembering the person he played in the show and the actors name
I did think she looked familiar and Coronation Street is surprisingly well known in North America but I couldn't have placed her. I still can't remember her role sorry to say lol
Sally Bercow - Name appears in the papers now and again someone you know more by name rather then face
That reminds me of Tara Reid. For some reason that name is mentioned on every gossip tabloid program, radio gossip.. for no good reason I know the name... but i think this is the first time I connected the face to the name heh.
I would say - with the money allegedly spent on this remake I am a little surprised they couldn't find a few more big names?
Bobby Brown is notorious in the USA although I can't think of anything he has done recently heh.
I think he just gets arrested or has a drug overdose once every few years.

Jedward are well known in Europe, I think they've had a few top 10s in Germany, Sweden and the like, and apparently they're well known in Japan too.
Not sure about America though

Lol! She is very well known her for her disaster boob job! If you aren't familiar with this one popped out while she was in font of the paparazzi at some event. It looked like a Frankenstein boob!

Being from the US, IMO Tara is definately the most famous over here(although shes become pretty do-nothing, z-list, trainwreck the last 5+ yrs). I may have seen jedward on youtube when they were on xfactor, but 99.9% of ppl over here wouldnt have a clue who they were, along with the rest of the housmates. I've never heard of pamela hasselhoff, and shes an american LOL. I don't think she was ever famous here, at least not in my time, maybe in the 80s. Shes the least famous american to be on CBB, i'd say.
Tara maybe the best American BB signing of all-time, but if you're going by name recognition in america(not worldwide), dennis rodman would win hands down. IMO it would go 1)Rodman, 2) Tara Reid, 3)Coolio. although i may be forgetting some americans of CBB past. Rodman's peak of popularity in america dwarfs tara reid's tenfold. Tara's best known for American Pie, her nip-slip on the red carpet shortly after a boob job(hence the family guy pepperoni clip above, LOL classic), and her short lived Taradise show on E! which basically had her going to exotic places, gettin wasted-drunk, and saying dumb things(it was canceled not too long after it began, and became a punchline for late night jokes.)

Where would the Jackson's fit on your list?

America doesn't know who Jedward is, thank god. This is part of the reason they're on CBB to begin with! :joker:
Tara Reid, while a bit known in the US, she's no where known worldwide.
Bottom line: CBB rarely has worldwide known people. It's CBB!:xyxwave:

I thought of latoya and jermaine, but figured the three i ranked became famous because of something they did directly, instead of being famous because of michael and a lesser extent janet. Although jermaine may have been famous during the jackson five years. before my time, i only know the tabloid jacksons of the ninties LOL Forgot about Mini-me, Vern Troyer, he'd probably be up there too. I may have given coolio too much credit, he's about the same level as sisqo, one mega-hit song and then nothing for the last decade or longer.

Tara. I don't watch much films tbh but I have watched American Pie.
Jedward are well known in the UK but are now popular in countries like Germany, Sweden etc due to Eurovision. Some had heard of them before that due to the internet etc
Pamela, maybe in America but if she didn't have Hasselhoff in her name I wouldn't know who she is.
