And finally ...
For the truth and the exclusives about Celebrity Big Brother, we all know to turn to the Daily Star. Every cough and splutter about the upcoming CBB "bonanza" is being covered in glorious detail by the Richard Desmond red top. So it should be of no surprise that today's Star dutifully reports that Channel 5's CBB will be "the friskiest ever", with a 24-hour bar and the as-yet unconfirmed star of the show, Pamela Anderson. We're not sure Ms Anderson can be that easily charmed into the Big Brother house. Daily Star, P5
