In the UK that is?
I reckon the top 3 are -
Michelle - Appeared on countless TV shows and has fans from her Liberty X days.
Ulrika - The most scandalous and notorious TV presenter ever, most people have read about her or seen her on another show.
Verne Toryer - Though only as Mini Me, I doubt many would no him by name.

not sure on the UK front but in the US all 3 are pretty big names....Coolio has died down since the 90s so id put him at 3rd of the 3.....Verne would be 2nd because of Mini Me and a few other projects, leaving Latoya as #1....the Jackson family is HUGE here in the states, so she has to be #1 here.

Coolio seems to be on the reality circuit these days though, having done Celebrity Boot Camp and Celebrity Fear Factor and I'm pretty sure he had his own reality series also.

you are right, but no one watches those shows here, so he isnt as popular as you might think :laugh:
Latoya is the biggest name just because of her brother(s) & sister

The Jackson family is seen as an over-the-hill has-been freak show. Michael Jackson is totally irrelevant and everyone knows him for the wrong reasons. Janet was the only one who had years and years of success without being sullied by the rest of her family. Now, here career is down the tubes. People like Jermaine, aren't even know to the US public, for those old enough to remember them, they're dying out. The Jackson name isn't even on the radar screens anymore. It's expired. It's sad about Janet though.
LaToya is perfect for freak show reality tv. She is extremely quiet though, and still acts like an innocent child. So if you see her doing that, the British public better not start screaming that she's acting fake. That's not an act. That's her.
Verne has already done the Surreal Life. The people who are put into these houses are Z-list celebs, let's face it. Unless you're a politician, or a model, your career is pretty much in the gutter.
Hopefully, this year's Big Brother will allow them to continue on for next year to have one.
And please, the 80s ARE OVER! So, please on't put people in the house who come out of that era. Enough with the 80s parties. Let it die! I want the 60s, free love all around. Peace out! :thumbs2: Maybe they can even pass a joint around. :shrug:

Enter, Gazbo. :joker:
I think Darnell was the only American housemate we've ever had on the summer version. But on CBB, Brigitte Nielson cam third in CBB3, which is the best an American housemate has ever done.

Verne but only as Mini Me , Coolio is a one hit wonder and LaToya is only pretty much famous for her family but even then shes not that well known.

Sorry I've just realised my mistake. Jermaine Jackson came 2nd in CBB5, so he's the American that did the best. Dirk Benedict also equaled with Brigitte as he came 3rd also.

UK-wise = Ulrika
World-wide = Verne, I would say Coolio but it's really a case of 'remembering him' plus the song "Gangster's Paradise" is famous, more so than himself.

03-01-2009, 04:16 PM
oh and mutya
Ulrika is the most famous, UK wise. That is not so much an opinion as it is a fact. Both young and old people know her and she is a cross breed celebrity not famous for any one specific thing.

In the UK: Ulrika, she is an actual celebrity which is strange on one of these shows lol
Worldwide: Latoya
