That doesn't mean he's not famous

[Monkey Slut]

Before they went in Big Brother I had heard of them all except for Gareth Thomas. But I think my order represents how well known they are in general (internationally and in the UK) but I wasn't sure about the order of the top two.

1) Michael Madsen
2) Tara Reid
3) The Situation
4) Coleen Nolan
5) Martin Kemp
6) Gareth Thomas
7) Kerry Katona
8) Denise Welch

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

lol @ gareth being on that list

[reece(:]

Michael Madsen, Tara Reid and Dirk Benedict are the top 3

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

dirk was in CBB5 :suspect:

[Josy]

Too many people missing from that list tbh :idc:

[Loukas]

Mike is not a washed up celebrity that hasn't had work in years, he's quite current person on TV which is why i think loads of people think he's really famous. Overall the most famous person C5 signed was Michael followed by Tara. Mike is 3rd on my list though, i'm surprised he wasn't heavily rumoured tbh.

[Locke.]

Too many people missing from that list tbh :idc:

Name them :idc:

[Josy]

Name them :idc:

Never mind, I only just realised you meant CH5 :laugh:

[Patrick]

Lucien.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

idc about most famous tara is the best on that list though :love:

[Patrick]

Never mind, I only just realised you meant CH5 :laugh:

Tbqh though, Channel 5 have probably had bigger Celebrities than Channel 4.

Getting Vinnie Jones was the biggest CH4 had ever got.

But this is probably because on Channel 4, Summer Big Brother was their main priority [as it should be] and they weren't too bothered about wasting their money on Celebrities - Channel 5 is a different story.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

the most famous celebrities are **** most of the time anyway

the greatest CBB housemate of all time wasnt that famous

:worship:

The famous ones go in there, make a tit out of themselves, and leave to boos. ALWAYS HAPPENS.

The unknown ones go in and are amazing. And win.

[Scotty07]

:joker:I almost said Dirk Benedict too, was so surprised and happy when he walked in CBB5. Michael Madsen was a big surprise and never thought Martin Kemp would do it. Thought it would just end up being another one of those rumours that end up being untrue.:)

From those choices:

1) Michael Madsen
2) Martin Kemp
3) Tara Reid
4) Mike "The Situation" (had no idea who he was, but obviously a big signing judging by the excitement on here)

5) Denise Welch
6) Coleen Nolan
7) Gareth Thomas
8) Kerry Katona

[glasstangerine]

Vinnie Jones and Latoya Jackson are pretty famous.

I would say Michael or Latoya.

[rayheartbliss]

The Situation
then
tara reid

[rayheartbliss]

The Situation
then
tara reid

[Munchkins]

Michael Madsen then Tara then the Situation :)

[Gillian-73]

What about Vinnie Jones The Jackson Dirk Benedict? Out of your list, Michael Madson.

[MTVN]

Madsen

[Kizzy]

martin kemp is brilliant and his career has spanned quite a few years ,he has been as sucessful as an actor as a singer too.
But would have to say the jacksons have been the most famous.

[flamingGalah!]

That doesn't mean he's not famous

No, but surely for someone to be really famous means that everyone will know who he is, clearly many on here had no idea who he was...

[Indy]

Madsen would have the most immediate, global recognition. Tara Reid is more of a joke along the lines of Lindsay Lohan. Martin Kemp is famous in the UK, but outside it, he's not known by name. People recognize his face from movies or from a Spandau Ballet video, but if you ask who he is, without a photo reference, they'd have no idea.

[lostalex]

Anyone that has been on BOTS since is not a big celebrity. Big celebrities have to be paid a lot just to be on the show, big celebrities don't go back to work on the dinky spin-off show. So you can definitely take Gareth and Kerry off of that list.

[lostalex]

I'd say Michael Madsen, with Tara Reid a close second.

[Livia]

Michael Madsen, without a doubt.

[lostalex]

the Jacksons were not on the c5 series. And Martin Kemp is not famous. I've been watching UK TV for 3 years now, and i've never heard of him. So he can't be that famous. I've seen that gay comedian on UK TV before, but never Martin Kemp.

[Livia]

Didn't Spandau Ballet make it in the USA? I always imagined they did...

[lostalex]

Didn't Spandau Ballet make it in the USA? I always imagined they did...

If they did it was before my time. I'm 30 years old and have never heard of them. That song that's like "Gold!" that they played during the VT sounded familiar, but just vaguely.

[Kizzy]

If they did it was before my time.

So there were no famous people before you were born alex?...ok :joker:

[Livia]

Well, it would have been in the eighties. Not exactly my era either... just wondered.

[lostalex]

Well, it would have been in the eighties. Not exactly my era either... just wondered.

I've heard of plenty of famous people from the 80's though. I've heard of Van Halen, and Motley Crue, and Bananara etc etc etc... i know tons of 80's celebs

Just cause we were kids, we are still aware of famous people from the 80's...

I've never heard of spando ballet though

[lostalex]

Julian Clary is a massive name for C5's standards.

Just sayin.

I recognized him because i've seen him in those list shows they do sometimes, like 50 greatest stand ups, or 50 most shocking chat show moments, those kind of shows, i've seen him on things like that.

[chuff me dizzy]

I have never heard of the jumped up druggy Mike either, neither had I heard of has been Madsen or tarty twins :sleep:

[chuff me dizzy]

you've never seen any Movie with Michael Madsen in it? really? i find that hard to believe. he's been in a ton of very successful movies.

I'd never heard of the playboy twins before i saw them on CBB eigther. i don't think anyone is arguing that they were famous.

[lostalex]

So there were no famous people before you were born alex?...ok :joker:

I thought we were talking about who's famous RIGHT NOW, not who was famous over 30 years ago. sorry.

[chuff me dizzy]

Well my opinion with this being CBB UK would have to be Martin Kemp or Coleen Nolan,Julian all famous in Uk

[Kizzy]

I thought we were talking about who's famous RIGHT NOW, not who was famous over 30 years ago. sorry.

If they were famous RIGHT NOW they wouldn't be doing CBB would they?....This is C5, CBB fee is pizza hut tokens and their bus fare home haha

[MTVN]

Wouldn't be surprised if C5 splash out more on CBB than C4 ever did

[Gillian-73]

I've never heard of spando ballet though

They were big at the time. He played Reggie Kray in the film the Krays and Steve Owen in EastEnders. He is well known here.

[Indy]

Spandau Ballet were on the radio in the US, but not so well known that people knew the names of individual band members.

[Gillian-73]

That does make sense

[Black Dagger]

Wouldn't be surprised if C5 splash out more on CBB than C4 ever did

Yeah, they probably feel they have more to prove that they can still get these big names.

They actually secure one or two big names each series, people are like 'WHERE ARE THE CELEBS' and it's like shut up you knobs.

[Locke.]

What about Vinnie Jones The Jackson Dirk Benedict? Out of your list, Michael Madson.

They are from Channel 4's Big Brother.

No, but surely for someone to be really famous means that everyone will know who he is, clearly many on here had no idea who he was...

And it was the same situation for Michael Madsen and Tara Reid on here aswell, not many knew who they were.

[Gillian-73]

They are from Channel 4's Big Brother
Oh i hadn't realised you meant Channel 5. I still say no cos i'd never heard of him :D
Edit... Got confused between this and another thread, i meant Mike.

[Kazanne]

Following on from that thread asking if Situation is the most famous CBB housemate

Tara Reid
Mike 'The Situation'
Gareth Thomas
Michael Madsen
Martin Kemp
Kerry Katona
Denise Welch
Coleen Nolan

What about Dirk Benedict and Jermain Jackson,Latoya and Steven Baldwin,Vinnie Jones etc.?I de have to say out of the above list it would be Michael Madsen/Martin Kemp

[Gillian-73]

That's what i said lol but he means from channel 5

[Locke.]

It says Channel 5 in the title.. don't make me go back and capitalize it :nono:

[Gillian-73]

Haha so it does. I must need glasses :D

[robb]

Michael Madsen,then Tara Reid... Mike whateverhisnameis would be last for me as had no idea who he was...

Me neither. In fact there were only about FIVE I HAVE HEARD OF......surely the lowest number of real 'celebs' ever on CBB. :nono:
