Just wondering - who currently (in 2011-2012) from the regular Big Brother, is still famous or at least somewhat in the public eye?
I don't live in the UK so I don't fully know - but from what I've gathered it seems like Josie, Nikki, Chantelle, Allison (BB2), and Imogen are the only ones really.
Who else is still famous or in the public eye?

There have been 202 BB HMs and nearly all of them are no longer in the public eye.
Imogen reappeared from obscurity only because of her affair with Ryan Giggs
Chantelle only gets coverage because of her realationship with one of Jordan's ex-husbands, Alex Reid (Cbb winner)
Brian Dowling is, now that Jade Goody's dead, probably the most "famous" ex BB HM (only because of his new job), and some like Alison Hammond, Craig Phillips and Kate Lawler get regular media work. Others like like Victor Ebuwa and Brian Belo may turn up on BB spin-off shows, but they're not "publicly" well-known. Some, like Makosi, Chanelle, Aisleyne and Charley may be mentioned in gossip columns but most readers wouldn't know who they were. AFAIK, even Jon Tickle, who used to have a regular TV slot, has returned full-time to his old job.

Craig Phillips & Brian Dowling are probably the only two with any relevance and a reputable career now Jade Goody is dead. Jon Tickle was on TV quite a bit for a long time and Brian Belo makes quite a few appearances mostly on comedy shows/reality shows. Kate and Alison also do a bit of professional TV/radio work.
Chanelle, Nadia, Kemal and the BB8 twins all released a single. (Probs some others too) I wouldn't say any of the girls in the first post are really that famous at all (if even relevant) Maybe Imogen recently due to being featured on the news and in papers/magazines for the affair, but tbh that has all died down again and most people probably couldn't tell you her name.
On an even lower level, as already mentioned, Victor, Michelle Bass, Nikki Grahame and Sophie Reade still get occasional media work, but they definitely would leave a lot of viewers wondering who they were if they appeared on a non BB related show. Chantelle is just a bit of a tabloid mess. Orlaigh McAllister does some work for local media here in Northern Ireland, but she was only on TV 2 or 3 times last year over here.

One of our towns winners Craige Phillips,i know craige he has done ok for himself out of BB and still does DIY for some and some public appearances,he has moved from our town now,but still visits regularly and meets up for a bevvy.
I don't know if you can count Brian seeing as he hasn't done anything for years besides BB, and the same with most ex-housemates really, I'd say Imogen's actually done the best

If you mean Brian Dowling, he was appearing regularly on This Morning on ITV1 for quite a while before BB started back again, he also jointly presented two of their back stage award shows. He has just start his third year of Closer adverts (or it may even be his fourth, I've lost track) and has been a panto star in Ireland for three years prior to the recent BBs.
Prior to BB he also recorded two series of Wagons Den with Katherine Lynch for RTE2.

Yeah, he's done quite a few things for which he might be known to the "public", including :
Dowling was a contestant in the ITV reality series Hell's Kitchen during September 2007, in which he competed against other celebrities to impress celebrity chef Marco Pierre White. Dowling finished in third place. Whilst participating, he had numerous clashes with fellow contestant Jim Davidson because of what Dowling interpreted as Davidson's homophobic slurs. Davidson was subsequently asked to leave the show as a contestant due to what ITV described as "unacceptable remarks" against Dowling.

Yeah she appeals to a certain demographic and has done well in that field, nothing wrong with that

Evel Dick has his radio shows, so he's still active, at least in the public internet community. Brenchel are gonna be on the Amazinfg Race, so i guess that counts as still being in the public eye.

No, Brian BB2 followed by Craig BB1 are the best known and still in the public eye.
Alison and Kate from BB3, Brian Belo BB8 and Nikki BB7 are also quite well known.
Jade of course is widely remembered too.

Aisleyne is kind of still in the public eye, she did Celebrity Coach Trip a few weeks ago with Nikki (BB7)

Aisleyne was in a movie called Anuvahood (a spoof of Kidulthood + Adulthood, which stars & is directed by Adam Deacon) last year.
This scene is a bit too rude to be shown here, so I'll just give the link (it may come across as rude at the start but it's actually hilarious)

He wanted to go in, and made his feelings clear on BBLB about 4 times that he would love to go into the house.
But the producers of BB11/UBB thought it would be much more appealing to have Preston, Ulrika, Josie, Nadia and the rest of the dullards in the house instead.
Nicki was on Loose Women the other day so I guess she's still in the public eye

Brian Dowling had that stint on children's television as well, he was doing pretty well for himself for a while after the house anyway. Generally it's the glamour types that have extended fame afterwards, because they go out with eligible bachelors and make for great tabloid fodder.
EDIT: Or not so eligible bachelors...

BBUK contestants definitely have been more successful than the BBUS contestants the best BBUS contestants can hope for is a web series or a chance to be on Amazing Race lol. BBUS contestants do have a better chance of coming back for another season though.

Nathan a.k.a. Starboy Nathan from Celebrity Hijack is an R&B singer, but then again he was quite famous anyway before he was on BB so that's not what launched his career.
Nicky Maxwell (BB8) or Nikki Grahame (BB7) ?
