Former EastEnders star Lucy Benjamin tonight became the first woman to win the X-Factor.

Lovely Nikki Sanderson was voted off X Factor which is a shame because she is a much better singer than those chefs.

Fat oaf Chris Moyles was voted off Celebrity X Factor.

How Michelle Marsh ever became a glamour model is beyond me, she looks like something from a dodgy 70s sex comedy starring Robin Askwith. Anyway she was sensibly voted off X Factor and back onto the pages of Nuts where she belongs.

You Are What You Eat host Gillian McKeith has become the second celeb to be voted off X Factor: Battle of the Stars.

Somehow Paul Daniels and Debbie McGee managed to get themselves voted off X Factor even though they weren't actually as bad as celebrity scumbags Rebecca Loos and James Hewitt.

Fearne Cotton is to host 'Love Island'. Err... that's it.

The five acts confirmed so far include Chris Moyles (over 25s), Michelle Marsh (16-24s), ex-EastEnders actress Lucy Benjamin (over 25s), celebrity dietician Gillian McKeith (over 25s) and husband-and-wife team Paul Daniels and Debbie McGee (groups). Apparently Gillian McKeith is going to do Madonna. Doesn't that wet your appetite.

Internet service providers NTL, Telewest and Virgin.net are to offer customers online video clips from the Big Brother 7 house this summer.

Big Brother starts tonight and according to the BBC the producers are going to make this series the most uncomfortable for the housemates. Any we know what that means, lots of tension, conflict and fights which is the main reason for watching.

Here are the Big Brother betting odds from William Hill:

8/13 Male Winner
6/5 Female Winner
5/4 An Infrared Camera to catch a couple copulating
2/1 Davina to give birth before the end of the show
9/4 A full scale Punch-Up
4/1 A housemate to Escape
4/1 A Housemate to leave within 24 hrs of the start
10/1 A Housemate to smuggle a TV, Radio, Mobile in to the house for World Cup results
16/1 A Celebrity housemate to be brought in for at least a week
16/1 A Housemate to fall down the stairs on arrival.
50/1 The contestants to fail every task

Camp Big Brother 7 contestant Shahbaz Choudhary was last night tipped as the housemate from hell. The flamboyant Glaswegian, who has been shunned by his Indian family, craves constant attention and will have his fellow housemates begging to leave the house.

Big Brother producers promise that this year the contestants will be more exposed than ever as they share one bedroom and one bathroom, all surrounded by glass walls.

Apparently Channel 4 are having crisis talks about the leak of the Big Brother housemate details.

The News Of The World has got the inside scoop on the Big Brother housemates, as usual they includes the usual bunch of wannabees, glamour models, gay musclemen and camp, annoying oddballs.

According to The Sun Celebrity Love Island will be called Love Island which pretty much indicates that they are having trouble getting anyone vaguely famous to appear. So far they seem to be lining up a bunch of people that found fame after being on other non-celebrity reality shows such a Michelle Bass of Big Brother and Chico Slimani of X Factor.

Daisy Donovan has had to turn down the offer of presenting Celebrity Love Island as she is busy making a film. The producers who must be starting to sweat a little have apparently gone back to Denise Van Outen and are also considering Tara Palmer-Tomkinson.

Lisa Tarbuck has dropped out of presenting Celebrity Love Island because of other commitments. One of the possible replacements is Daisy Donovan who I think would be much better anyway.

Footballers Wives has been cancelled by ITV. However it is not all bad news as a special edition of the of the show (starring real footballers and their wives) will be shown as part of the BBC's Sport Relief on 15 July

TheSun is reporting that this year the makers of Big Brother are making the theme "survival" and will allow the housemates to discuss the nominations in the hope that it will turn the house into a complete bitchfest.

Jack Osbourne has been offered £250,000 to appear on Celebrity Love Island. Why the producers think that anyone would want to see that fat berk spend all summer lounging on a paradise island is beyond me.

Channel 4 are planning to launch Big Brother 6 early this year in an attempt to steal a lead over ITV which has reality shows including Soccer Aid, Celebrity Love Island and Celebrity X Factor lined up. Furthermore, the new series will last for thirteen weeks and is expected to start with sixteen contestants.

Eva Longoria one of the stars of desperate housewives hopes that the show does not outstay it's welcome so that she will have the opportunity to do movies and have a family. Judging by the quality of the second series she will have plenty of time for a few dozen made for TV movies before she squeezes out some puppies.

The slightly backward Big Brother winner Anthony Hutton had to be treated in hospital for facial injuries after having been attacked in a club in Manchester.

Apparently someone at Disney has decided that it would be a good idea to turn Desperate Housewives into a computer game. Players will become Wisteria Lane housewife, who can uncover or create new scandals on the seemingly idyllic street where the show takes place. Not sure who exactly who they think is going to buy this game?

Phina Oruche who plays supermodel Liberty Baker In Footballers Wives says that if Naomi Campbell has a problem with her character then she can "lump it".

Heat magazine has reported that Channel 4 have got the builders in to redesign the Big Brother house to incorporate a bigger garden and a secret garden. The next series will start on the 26th May and last for a record 13 weeks.

Lisa Snowdon is to be the new presenter of the second series of Living TV's top guilty pleasure Britain's Next Top Model. Last year's winner, Lucy Ratcliffe, was signed up by the Models 1 agency and won a contract with cosmetics giant Ruby and Millie. Hopefully there will be lots more tears and cat fights along the way to finding a winner in this year's series.

Prison Break the preposterous American drama where a guy intentionally gets himself sent to prison in order to break his brother (who is on death row) out is to return for second series.

Nadia the tranny from Big Brother is facing up to six months in prison for slapping a man in a pub in Islington, London. Surely the judge will see sense and throw this one out of court, being beaten up by a tranny can't be a crime, can it? Some people pay good money for that sort of stuff.

Who doesn't love a supergroup - Velvet Revolver, The Powerstation, err that's it. Well, Tommy Lee Of Motley Crue, Gilby Clarke formely of Guns N Roses and Jason Newstead formerly of Metallica have formed Supernova and are going to take part in the show Rock Star (which last year starred INXS) to find themselves a lead singer. Supergroups, heavy metal and reality TV, does it get any better than this?

Digital Spy has an interview with the improbably named Chucky Venice who plays Tremaine Gidigbi in Footballers Wives and who seems to spend more time on screen in skimpy briefs than he ever does in a football strip.

It was only a matter of time before they decided to roll out the reliable lesbian storyline in Desperate Housewives, and the character involved is none other than Gay icon Bree Van De Kamp who is rumoured to have an affair with a character played by either Kim Cattrall or Kim Delaney.
