WE’LL PAY £1M FOR TOP STAR
B.Bro bosses’ pay cheque pledge by MARK JEFFERIES CHANNEL 4 bosses are raiding the BB piggybank for up to £1million – to try to get an A-list star to join Celebrity Big Brother at the last minute. We told you yesterday how several famous faces have got cold feet and pulled out. And now show makers Endemol have been told to go back to some of their top targets with a “name your price” offer. Celebs now being considered include ex Hollyoaks babe Sarah Dunn, 24, singer Courtney Love, 42, and Emmerdale’s troubled Ben Freeman, 26 – plus other top blokes and babes from music and football. Soap star Freeman, who plays bad-boy Scott Windsor, is currently charged with attacking a 16-year-old British girl in Barbados. But he denies rape and is desperate to clear his name. Courtney, the widow of Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain, would bring sex and rock ’n’ roll to the house if she could be persuaded to sign up, after recently romping with celebs such as Steve Coogan, 41. And stunning actress Sarah is said to be desperate to get her curves back on the small screen to help kickstart her career. A show source said: “Normally by this time – less than a week before the show starts – the celebs are all signed and sealed. But this year bosses are going to be working right up to the last minute to make sure they get the right mix. “Channel 4 are very keen on getting a big name star to keep the nation gripped. “They called in some of the top bigwigs for meetings over Christmas, which is unheard of and shows how seriousthey are about making it the biggest and best yet. “So don’t be surprised if a former Premiership footballer or pop hunk makes it into the mix as well.” Ripping This year’s show kicks off next Wednesday and bosses also hope it could also be the steamiest yet, after ripping out the bath and replacing it with a wet room complete with extra large shower. Already rumoured to have signed are A Team actor Dirk Benedict, 60, Paul Michael Glaser, 63, from TV cop show Starsky and Hutch and singer Jermaine Jackson, 51, from the Jackson Five. Others tipped for the show include former Steps singer Ian “H” Watkins, 30, ex-Labour MP and TV host Robert Kilroy Silk, 64, and rapper Lil’ Kim, 32. mark.jefferies@dailystar.co.uk http://dailystar.co.uk |

Courtney Love would be a great inclusion, not so sure Freemen would join seeing as he is even on leave at emerdale (or so i heard) untill this child sex case is over

Courtney Love would be great, but even with that said she is no A-list star. Who are the producers kidding?

All this hype is going to continue until launch night…i.e. more and more rumours, some of which might be true, some of which might not be. It’s all to build suspense in order to get more viewers to tune in, and of course, oftentimes it does work! I suppose it’d be entertaining if Courtney Love went in, but then, can we really confidently say that she will be alongside other pretty well-known celebrities?
I just hope we won’t be too disappointed on the night. |

Also, wasn't he due to appear on Soapstar Superstar and pulled out of that?
He'd hardly go and do CBB. It starts around the same time as SS. |

But i suppose quality of the celebrities is better than the Quantity. Id rather see 6 A List Celebs then 12 Desperate for fame Z Listers.

Yeah looking at last years the biggest "star" was Barrymore & he had a tough time and was worth the money because he was a wreck at times. I think if they can get someone similar they would pay alot more but sadly its the bleached blonde babes who come cheap

Courtney Love is A List. In America.
Would be good to see her fall apart from there. Haha, but I doubt she'd do it. |

Come to think of it she is making a lot more appearances over here lately so it's not impossible for her to go in. She presented a comedy award and was a guest on the Big Fat Quiz on Channel 4. Once theyve been on one show they've been on them all.
