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.

Quote:
Darryn Lyons - His website is more famous then him
Heh yes. No clue whatsoever who he is or what he does.

Quote:
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

Quote:
Amy Childs - Only well known recently over here
Have no idea who she is lol.. yea zero people outside UK I suspect.

Quote:
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?

Quote:
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?

Quote:
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

Quote:
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.
